WEEKEND WASHED OUT FOR O'REILLY USMTS NATIONAL TOUR
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (April 10) - O'Reilly USMTS National Tour drivers got an
early start to their Spring Break on Thursday when USMTS officials announced
that all three events scheduled for this weekend have been postponed due to
heavy rainfall in the Southeast Iowa and Northwest Illinois area.
"This is really disappointing for us, our fans and our drivers," said USMTS
president Todd Staley. "All signs pointed to a great weekend of racing, but
Mother Nature decided otherwise."
The rained-out tripleheader was supposed to kick off this Friday at the
Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, with the 7th Annual Spring
Classic. That event has been postponed until Wednesday, May 21, which will
be the next time that the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour is back in action.
The 7th Annual Spring Classic will now be the launch pad for six straight
nights of O'Reilly USMTS National Tour racing during the Memorial Day

Wednesday, May 21 . Southern Iowa Speedway, Oskaloosa, IA ($2,000 to win)

The events originally scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday at the LaSalle
(Ill.) Speedway and Quad City Raceway in East Moline, Ill., will be
rescheduled for a later date to be announced soon.
