Landon Simon confirmed on FB that they were going.

I don't know how it bodes for the storm, But B.O.S.S had thirty last week at Mercer.

Don't forget there should be2 features at the Lincoln speedway. This years race plus last years rain out is to be made up. Witch not sure if he is coming yet but Daron Clayton is qualified for.

Correction/Question With USAC is the driver ( Clayton ) or the car ( 3r ) qualified?

Chad Boespflug in the Amati Racing 66

from lincoln press release
A spectacular show is expected with the USAC wingless Sprints running a complete show plus a 25-lap make-up feature. The line-up for the make-up feature will be determined by inverting all cars on the lead lap from the first USAC feature of the night.
