Heavy Rain Forces Cancellation Of Sunday Night's World of Outlaws Late Model Series 'Best Western Illinois Fall Nationals' At La Salle Speedway
LA SALLE, IL - Sept. 14, 2008 - Heavy rain forced the cancellation of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series 'Best Western Illinois Fall Nationals' scheduled for Sunday night (Sept. 14) at La Salle Speedway.
Bob Sargent of Track Enterprises Inc. made the decision to call off the event on Saturday night after the high-banked, quarter-mile oval was swamped by precipitation for much of the day and more was in the forecast through Sunday afternoon.
Track Enterprises is attempting to reschedule the 17th annual Best Western Illinois Fall Nationals, but scheduling issues will prevent the WoO LMS from returning to sanction the program.
The La Salle Speedway cancellation marked the third WoO LMS event of 2008 that was rained out and not rescheduled.
La Salle's date was to anchor a Midwestern doubleheader that began on Saturday night at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo., where Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., emerged victorious in the 26th annual Pepsi Nationals.
The WoO LMS will return to action on Tues., Oct. 7, at Fayetteville (N.C.) Motor Speedway (the completion of a program that was struck by rain during B-Main competition on Aug. 15) and Wed., Oct. 8, at The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. (the Armour Vienna Sausage Southern Showdown that will be contested 'topless').
