SAS Racing Series Summer Sizzler at Tazewell Speedway Postponed to Friday July 5
By Michael Despain, SAS Public Relations

Fayetteville, TN-July 3, 2013- The Southern All Star Racing Series and Tazewell Speedway track promoter Gary Hall have made the decision to postpone the Summer Sizzler event scheduled for Wednesday evening July 3 due to impending inclement weather.  The Summer Sizzler event will now be contested on Friday July 5 as previously announced in a series press release and will still be sanctioned by the Southern All Star Racing Series, paying $4,000 to win the 40 lap sprint at the 1/3 mile high-banked East Tennessee speedplant.

With the weather forecast not looking promising and rain starting to fall at the track, series officials and the track did not want race teams and spectators that are making a long drive to have the added expense of an extra fuel bill if the event were to get rained out later in the afternoon, so all parties agreed to postpone the event until Friday July 5 and hopefully have much better weather conditions.  Also, it gives racers and fans the opportunity to have a big weekend of Super Late Model action, as the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series will be in action on Saturday July 6 at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, TN.
