FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Spring Nationals Series loses Florence Speedway event due to Weather

By Chris Tilley, Series P.R. Coordinator

UNION, KY (April 4, 2015)—After nearly four inches of rain hit the grounds of Florence Speedway between Thursday and late Friday night, officials were forced to cancel the Old Man’s Garage Spring Nationals Series by Schaeffer’s Oil-sanctioned 39th Annual Spring 50 on Saturday Night. There is no make-up date for this event.

“Florence Speedway tried really hard to get this event in today, but between the rains that have fallen the last few days it was nearly impossible to get the track into good racing shape for tonight,” said Series Promoter Ray Cook. “I want to thank Jerry and Josh (King) and track crews for all their hard work today in trying to get the track run in to race and we look forward to working with them in the future. I hate it for the fans and drivers who came out today expecting to see a race but it wasn’t fair to them as well if the track wasn’t safe to race on,” said Cook again.

This is the fifth straight rain-out for the Spring Nationals tour and third straight event of the weekend. The series has eight points paying events left on the schedule. The series will now move to Swainsboro (Ga.) Raceway on Friday Night April 17th paying $6,000-to-win and then on Saturday Night April 18th at Golden Isles (Ga.) Speedway paying $10,000-to-win. This will mark the first series appearances to the tracks located in the Peach State.
