•Last Friday’s racing at Delaware Speedway Park was cancelled due to inclement weather.
The decision was based on severe weather warnings which were in effect for London Middlesex in the afternoon and evening, the severe showers and lightning forecast in the area, and the impact to the facility.
Track officials determined that they would be unable to complete the event.
This Friday, June 26, the Delaware program features a 142-lap Late Model race (the Partsource 142) as well as Delaware Super Stocks and Demar Aggregates Trucks.
All three St. Marys racers—Scott Lindsay, Matt Humphrys and Shawn Johns—will be hitting the track in their respective divisions.
