Corning, NY- Pro Truck Tour is forced to postpone Clinton County date.
The Race set for 7-25-2008 at the Clinton County Fairgrounds Speedway in Lock Haven PA. has been indefinitely postponed. During a phone conversation with Promoter Vern Wasson and Mike Warren, Truck Counts and travel expenses were discussed. With several teams falling out after the last few races due to either mechanical or financial reasons, it was unrealistic for us to see half a field showing up for competition. When we (Wasson and Warren) scheduled this date fuel was still $2.80 a gallon, there are just too many factors working against us now. Wasson did however extend an invitation to the teams that still wanted to compete at the Speedway, to run with his pro stocks, which are not quite what we saw at Genesee a few weeks ago, but after going over rule books both decided it would be as even a race as we could see. The full purse can bee seen at www.clintoncountyraceway.com and is very comparable to the normal truck purse. This is a great deal for the fans and the teams alike. Said Warren Vern has told me how much interest the Trucks have generated in PA and there has never been anything like what we run on the raceway there. This also gives our teams a chance to race a venue they normally would not get a chance to race on. So as not to disturb any points battles in the pro stock ranks, and the end of the night the trucks would be removed from the finishing order and the pro stocks will get their respective points based on a pro stock finish. The same will go for the Pro Trucks, Any team that makes the trip will be awarded tour points based on the Truck finishing order. The reason Warren stated he is offering tour points, is incentive for the teams that still want to race to show up. Vern has supported us through thick and thin, and we want to try and help support him and give his fans a show they can talk about all week.More as it becomes available at ProTruckTour.com |
