OSKY POSTPONED BY RAIN; GREAT AMERICAN STOCK CAR CHALLENGE
AT CRESCO THURSDAY
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 2) - On Wednesday, July 2, the
Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was rolled in
and ready to host the 13th Annual MUSCO Lighting Great
American Stock Car Shootout, but Mother Nature intervened
with rain and caused the event to be postponed.
Action is still on as planned for Thursday, July 3, at the
Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, for the 5th Annual
Kabrick Distributing Great American Stock Car Challenge,
while the event at Oskaloosa has been postponed to next
Wednesday, July 7.
Thursday's show at Cresco will feature a $1,000 top prize
in the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car division's main event
and $400 to the winner of the USRA Hobby Stock feature.
The high-powered USRA Modifieds will be racing for $1,000
to win while the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods will compete
for $400 to win. Outlaw Hobbys will also join the card at
Cresco Thursday and race for $300 to win.
The big money is now up for grabs at the Southern Iowa
Speedway next Wednesday. Stock Car drivers will have a
chance to compete for a $1,500 winner's share of the purse
at Osky while Hobby Stock drivers will be battling for
$700 to win. USRA Modifieds will again be racing for a
$1,000 top prize while the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods will
