Wet Weather Forces Cancelation Of Saturday Night’s World of Outlaws Late Model Series Action At Winchester Speedway
By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
WINCHESTER, VA – Aug. 25, 2012 – Wet weather forced the cancelation of Saturday night’s World of Outlaws Late Model Series event at Winchester Speedway.
With light rain arriving during the afternoon and a dire forecast calling for a large swath of heavier precipitation to soon overtake the area, Winchester promoter Greg Gunter made the decision to call off the program early in an effort to save fans and racers from traveling to the three-eighths-mile oval.
No suitable raindate for the Ernie D’s & Gunter’s Honey 50 is available on the WoO LMS schedule, so Gunter will look to the 2013 season to bring the national tour to Winchester.
Saturday’s rainout is the fourth of the 2012 WoO LMS season and the third event that was not rescheduled.
The WoO LMS moves on to Selinsgrove (Pa.) Speedway on Sunday evening (Aug. 26) for the Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling 50. The tour will visit the half-mile oval for the first time.
The World of Outlaws Late Model Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including Arizona Sport Shirts (Official Apparel Company), Armor All (Official Car Care Products), Gravely Tractors (Official Lawn Equipment), Hoosier Racing Tires (Official Racing Tires), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Vicci (Official Uniform), VP Racing Fuel (Official Racing Fuel), DirtonDirt.com (Hard Charger Award) and McCarthy’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning (Raye Vest Memorial Pill Draw Award); in addition to contingency sponsors Butlerbuilt, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Dominator Race Products, Eibach Springs, JE Pistons, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, MSD Ignition, Ohlins Shocks, QuarterMaster, Roush Yates Performance Parts, Superflow Dynos, Wix Filter, Wrisco Aluminum and XS Power Racing Batteries; along with manufacturer sponsors Integra Shocks, GRT Chassis, Jake’s Carts, Longacre, Racing Electronics, Rocket Chassis, TNT Rescue, and Warrior Chassis.
