Heavy Rain Pushes ‘Dirt Demon 50’ At Brewerton Speedway To Tues., Aug. 24
Jun 23rd
BREWERTON, NY – June 22, 2010 – Heavy rain swamped the central New York area on Tuesday afternoon, forcing the postponement of the evening’s scheduled World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Dirt Demon 50’ at Brewerton Speedway.
It was the second rainout of the ‘Great Northern Tour’ and third overall cancelation this season for the WoO LMS, but there was some good news in the dark clouds that overtook John and Laura Wight’s one-third-mile oval on Tuesday. Brewerton’s second annual full-fender series event has been rescheduled for Tues., Aug. 24, anchoring a week of action in the Northeast that will provide the region’s fans an exciting late-summer sequel to the Great Northern Tour.
The new WoO LMS date at Brewerton will follow a postponed event at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Que., that was rescheduled for Mon., Aug. 23, after rain hit the Canadian track on Saturday night.
Autodrome Drummond and Brewerton Speedway will serve as perfect compliments to an originally-planned four-day WoO LMS swing in August. The tour is scheduled to visit Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa., on Wed., Aug. 18; Rolling Wheels Raceway in Elbridge, N.Y., on Thurs., Aug. 19; and Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, N.Y., for an inaugural 100-lap, $20,000-to-win spectacular on Aug. 20-21.
The WoO LMS will now head to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., for the fourth annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com, a three-day blockbuster set for June 24-26. Complete WoO LMS programs headlined by 30-lap A-Mains paying $6,000 to win are set for Thurs., June 24, and Fri., June 25, and the huge Firecracker 100 offering a $30,000 top prize will be contested on Sat., June 26.
