[Comment From VMS Motorsports ]
Is it still raining, or did it all pass through overnight?

At the moment, it isn't raining. About 15 minutes from the track this morning it was misting, but currently it is clearing up and it is getting a bit brighter outside.

We say the original schedule as there has been some adjustments. Practice was supposed to be on the track currently, but that has been pushed back to around noon. Because of the weather, the track conditions haven't been the best, so they are giving the track a few hours to hopefully get in better condition so the racing action will be able to take place today.

10:34

Yesterday, qualifying took place along with heat races. Using a points system, the qualifying and heat race points were combined together to form the Main line-ups. We will have the results of that momentarily.

10:36

We have had a few questions on car counts. As far as what we have listed in the line-ups for the A Mains (there will not be any B Mains), the totals are below. Note, there are a few drivers that either wrecked yesterday or have chosen to not show up to race today.

Young Lions - 12 Cars
Semi-Pro - 19 Cars
Pro - 19 Cars
Masters - 16 Cars

10:40

One driver that was here yesterday and will not be here today is Chad Finchum. While on the track yesterday, Finchum hit a rut and shot his car to the wall. We spoke to his father this morning that told us he has a cracked rib from the incident. We wish Chad the best on his road to recovery.
