Mother Nature took home the checkered flag at Five Flags Speedway.

For the first time this season, rain postponed a race night at America’s Favorite Home Track. It looked like the night’s festivities would go on without a hitch. All three local divisions — the Super Stocks, Sportsmen and Bombers — were able to complete their practice sessions. But around 6:30 p.m. Central time, the heavens opened up and the heavy drops began to pepper the half-mile asphalt oval.

Track officials hoped for the best, but as the precipitation continued to fall, it was simply too daunting of a task to wait the rain out. The decision was made shortly before 7 p.m. to reschedule the same program for next Friday night with the Super Stocks 50-lap showdown highlighting the race action.
