COLD TEMPS CANCEL LAWRENCEBURG
Lawrenceburg, Indiana (April 1, 2022)……….The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship event scheduled for this Saturday, April 2, at Lawrenceburg (Ind.) Speedway has been canceled.
Due to the forecast calling for less-than-ideal cold temperatures, Lawrenceburg Speedway and USAC officials will not conduct the event, which was to be the Midwest opener for the series at the 3/8-mile, high banked dirt oval.
The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season will now return to Lawrenceburg Speedway twice more in 2022, on Sunday night, July 24, for Indiana Sprint Week and on Saturday night, October 1, for the Fall Nationals.
Lawrenceburg Speedway resumes racing action next Saturday night, April 9, with the Kelsey Chevrolet Sprints, KOI Auto Parts Modifieds, Impact Sports Pure Stocks and the Bessler's U Pull & Save Hornets. Pits open at 4pm Eastern with the front gates opening at 5pm, hot laps at 6pm and opening ceremonies at 7pm. Admission prices are $17 for adults, $7 for kids age 7-12 and free for children ages 6 and under. Pit passes are $32 for all ages.
Three races remain during the month of April for USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car racing, on Saturday, April 16, at Chillicothe, Ohio’s Atomic Speedway, on April 29 at Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway and on April 30 at Haubstadt, Indiana’s Tri-State Speedway.

LOL!! Cold temps. It’s not supposed to be below 50 until 10:00. Maybe has more to do with the amount of teams backing out of racing with USAC

Nothing more then USAC trying to save face

Where is that posted at?

It's snowing as I type this, and the forecast is for 54* for a high and scattered light shower's for the evening and overnight Sat.. It's changed three or four times this week. Was for 58* and dry two days ago.

Burgs facebook page and a reply that says, Tell me this is a april fools, Is followed by a LBurg post, NO, It's cancelled

There not a speck of moisture near The Burg currently nor on future cast???

So why did Lincoln Park postpone?

Guessing on my part, they never moved race up 2 hours. Colder temps then Burg and 60% chance of rain. No rain on Burgs forecast. Look it sucks for both, but looks worse on USAC's part especially with all the teams vocally stating they weren't going.

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Look for a light mix of rain and snow early Friday morning, before clouds break away during afternoon.

Air temperatures will remain warmer than freezing and after the high temperature of 80º Wednesday the ground is warm so roads will be only wet.

Daytime highs on Friday will reach into the upper 40s.

Cooler weather will dominate through the weekend, but temperatures will be close to normal levels for this time of year, in the mid to upper 50s.

Saturday brings the chance of a few light showers during evening and overnight and a few more showers are possible Monday.

Next week looks unsettled, especially during the afternoon each day next week, but highs will be near normal in the 60s. More April showers on the way!
