MSCS UNION COUNTY DATES ARE CANCELLED |
|
Haubstadt, IN - August 11, 2008. Two dates on the 2008 Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series schedule were cancelled today and those races will not be held. The newly updated schedule no longer includes the races that were to be held at the Union County Speedway in Liberty, IN. MSCS will not be racing at Union County Speedway on August 22nd or September 12th. Both dates were to have been Friday night shows. The decision to cancel these two events came about after a top level discussion between MSCS Owner Tom Helfrich and Union County Speedway promoter Tom Wieck on Monday. These discussions came about after reports surfaced on safety concerns at the track in relation to running sprint cars. These concerns coupled with the very short time frame within which everyone would have to work to correct safety concerns before these shows came up on the schedule led to a final decision to pull the plug. With both events cancelled and in sufficient time to advise teams and fans, both MSCS and Union County Speedway will be able to move on with their respective 2008 seasons. Union County Speedway will be running their regularly scheduled classes on those nights. MSCS has offered to be open to further discussions in reviewing the circumstances at the track again during the scheduling process for 2009.
