SALEM SPRINTS SATURDAY CANCELLED

Saturday’s USAC Auto Value Sprint race at Salem Speedway, part of the “Eddie Gilstrap Motors Legends Classic” program, has been cancelled due to the adverse weather forecast. The remainder of the racing program remains on Saturday's schedule at the half-mile oval. The Auto Value Sprints now prepare for their June 6 appearance at the Kalamazoo (Mich.) Speedway.

50% chance of rain ? Is the Eastern Storm still on since there is a 60% chance of rain next week?

This doesn't surprise me. The Must See race at Anderson had 12 cars, and I counted 38 people in the stands. Seems like pavement is hurting everywhere. Open wheel and fenders.

Sounds like the only guy that "Must See" the race is the flagman.

I noticed only the sprint car portion of the program was cancelled. Guess those other classes run rain tires.

Why can't they just be honest and say they know they will not have many cars and don't think they would put on the quality of show that represents USAC racing at its best? Fans can respect that a lot more than smoke and mirrors.

Yep. Davey did just that for postponed(cancelled?) King of the Wing Western Series race in March at Madera and everybody was ok with it. So your short on cars? Just say so. No big deal.
