TRI-CITY USAC SPRINT/MIDGET DOUBLEHEADER CANCELLED DUE TO FORECASTED RAIN
*
Due to forecasted rains throughout the evening tonight and early afternoon Friday, the May 19 USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car and Midget doubleheader at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois has been cancelled.
*
Night two of the “River Town Showdown” featuring the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars this Saturday night, May 20, at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri is still on as scheduled.
*
Pit gates for Saturday night open at 3pm. *Gates open at 4pm and cars are on track at 6pm.
Tri City cannot catch a break with weather and USAC shows. That being said this seems premature to me looking from the outside. I understand you have to make the call early because guys are traveling from Indy and beyond but...with races the next night in Pevely (which is still on with even dimmer looking forecast), I think you could try? It's not like the forecast looks completely dismal. It looks like the rain is supposed to be gone by 1 on Friday.

Yes! Especially since we got screwed out of that 2-day show last year and there's no Gold Crown anymore... They should do sprints and midgets on the 7th.
