It is funny that one poster used Knoxville as a comparison. I have been there during Nationals to have one of the early nights get rained out. They pushed the entire program a day and Friday's show was moved to Saturday afternoon. I was surprised when several of my friends passed on the Saturday afternoon show even though they had paid tickets. I soon found out that even the great Knoxville raceway couldn't make day racing in August worth watching...…

As has been said numerous times, nobody wins when there is a rainout. Nobody wins when a show is cancelled. Mansfield was paying a large sum of money to win. They need a large sum of money to come in to cover expenses. I am sure that they could not find a solution that was going to allow them to do both, and hence they cancelled the show.
