WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (June 11) - Regional weather woes have
forced USMTS officials to scrap the remaining events for
this week. As if devastating tornados two weeks ago
weren't enough, widespread flooding in the Northeast Iowa
area has forced the closure of dozens of roadways and many
people are preparing for more forecasted rain.
The event slated for Wednesday, June 11, at the Highway 3
Raceway in Allison, Iowa, was canceled earlier this week,
and today USMTS officials were forced to pull the plug on
the two remaining races for this week.
The event on Thursday, June 12, at the Fayette County
Speedway in West Union, Iowa, has been postponed to a date
to be determined.
This Friday's race at the Tri-Oval Speedway in Fountain
City, Wis., has been postponed to Friday, Aug. 15, and
will now be a part of the Casey's General Stores Hunt for
the O'Reilly USMTS National Championship.
The O'Reilly USMTS National Tour will return to action on
Monday, June 16, for NASCAR Night presented by Karl
Chevrolet at the Iowa State Fair Speedway in Des Moines,
Iowa.
The USMTS is celebrating its 10th Anniversary Season in
2008 with many special promotions to show thanks to the
fans, drivers, team members, families and sponsors who
have helped make the USMTS the premier dirt modified
series in the nation.
