May 12, 2006 -- Mother Nature has declared an early holiday and spread
rain across the Hoosier State. The first event of the 2006 King of
Indiana Sprint Series (KISS) scheduled for tonight at I-69/Gas City Speedway
is among the racing events rained out.

quarter mile, next Friday, May 19. The next evening, Saturday, May 20, the
KISS racers push off at Putnamville’s Lincoln Park Speedway. Lawrenceburg
Speedway hosts KISS on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 27. After a
couple weeks to catch their breath, the KISS racers will start their final leg
with a big Sunday show at Kokomo Speedway on June 18th.
The title battle will begin to come into sharp focus at Paragon Speedway
on Saturday, June 24. Then racers will kick off their Independence Day
weekend with the KISS grand finale at the Terre Haute Action Track and
