Alma, OH — By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director

World of Outlaws Late Model Series officials have decided to use their contingency plan for the Buckeye 100 at K-C Raceway, canceling the qualifying program scheduled for Friday night (May 1) and condensing the weekend to a one-day show on Saturday night (May 2) topped by a 50-lap A-Main paying $12,000 to win.

The decision was made late Thursday afternoon after the three-eighths-mile oval was hit by rain and forecasts for Friday continued to call for a high probability of more precipitation.

“We wanted to act as quickly as we could for the sake of all the race teams and fans with plans to travel to K-C Raceway this weekend,” said WoO LMS director Tim Christman. “With the rain that’s already fallen at the track and more expected tomorrow, we felt the best scenario for everyone involved would be to cancel Friday’s program and run a 50-lap event on Saturday that pays more than the regular World of Outlaws purse for that distance.

“We were looking forward to a fun two-day weekend for the racers and fans, but the conditions won’t let us go forward as planned. Instead, we’ll put our focus on one exciting night of racing on Saturday.”

Saturday’s program will include time trials, heat races, B-Mains and the 50-lap A-Main for the WoO LMS, plus full cards for K-C Raceway’s open-wheel Modified and Hobby Stock divisions.

General admission will now be $30, with kids admitted for $15. Racing is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
