I-44 SPEEDWAY CANCELS O'REILLY USMTS NATIONAL TOUR EVENT
SLATED FOR AUG. 9
LEBANON, Mo. - Officials from the I-44 Speedway in
Lebanon, Mo., announced today that the O'Reilly USMTS
National Tour event scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 9, has
been canceled.
"We lost time due to the new surface and rain this season,
and with our Larry Phillips Memorial Race only three weeks
later we felt that we might have had some special events
too close together," said promoter Randy Mooneyham.
"This was a tough decision as we had the second race in
the Casey's General Stores Hunt for the USMTS National
Championship, and those drivers put on a great show."
This season, the I-44 Speedway opened their season on
March 29 with the USMTS Modifieds on a very cold night as
Jason Hughes of Westville, Okla., took home the honors.
"While I-44 Speedway won't be holding the USMTS event, the
fans in the area will still get to see these great drivers
as the Midway Speedway in Lebanon will host the first race
of the Hunt on Friday, August 8," added Mooneyham.
Officials from the USMTS hope to announce a replacement
venue for this event.
