Haubstadt, IN. (May 24, 2009) The special Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series
program scheduled for Tri-State Speedway Sunday night was cancelled due to rain.
Rain began at the track some 90 minutes before the pit gates were set to open.
The decision to cancel the Memorial Day Weekend show was made at 3:30 in the
afternoon. The weather forecast offered nothing in the way of relief as a slow
moving storm system had already blanketed the area. Several early arrivals were
already lined up to enter the pits but the trip to the track this time would end
in disappointment. Mother Nature was in control!
There would be no racing.
. . . . .
The next event at Tri-State Speedway is on Saturday night June 6th. That
night the King of Indiana Sprint Series will visit the Haubstadt oval. The MSCS
Sprinters will also be racing. Fans will
see the best drivers following both circuits battle it out for a $2,500 first
place prize. Drivers racing that night will receive valuable KISS points. The
race is the fifth of six to be held in Indiana. Drivers with MSCS licenses or
permits will receive MSCS show-up and bonus points. A number of drivers are
involved in both pursuits!
The next event for the MSCS Sprints is set for Friday night June 5th at the
Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, IL. This is the night before the KISS-MSCS
race at Tri-State and provides for the first weekend where two MSCS races are to
be held this season. Morgan County and Tri-State are both quarter mile ovals.
The feature in Illinois on Friday night will pay $3,000 to win.
MSCS does not have any races scheduled for the last weekend of May. The month
of June in total offers four races. Two additional dates include the June 13th
make-up date at the Terre Haute Action Track and a June 27th appearance at the
Vermilion County Speedway in Danville, IL.
