opener scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, March 7-8, at the Junction
Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb., has been postponed.
According to track promoter Delmar Friesen, the sub-freezing temperatures
this week will greatly hamper track preparation. Rather than subject fans
and drivers to arctic cold and a possible rough racing surface, the event
has been postponed.
The event will now be held on Friday and Saturday, March 21-22. In the event
of a cancellation on Friday, we will not race on Sunday due to the Easter
Holiday.
Friday's event will pay $2,000 to win while the victor in Saturday's main
event will pocket $3,000. More than 70 entries are once again expected for
the annual event at the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval.
