Castrol stop at 34 Raceway cancelled
Tuesday night’s Castrol FloRacing Night in America event at 34 Raceway at West Burlington, Iowa, has been cancelled because of the ongoing tire supply shortage, series officials announced Sunday morning. The race won't be rescheduled. The decision to cancel the midweek program was made after consultation with teams and area tire distributors, series general manager Ben Shelton said.
“Right now most teams are low on tires or completely out and distributors are waiting to receive more. It’s an unfortunate situation,” Shelton said. “Brad (Stevens) and Jessi (Mynatt) at 34 Raceway have gone above and beyond to prepare for this big event and I truly hate to not be able to have the race this week. It’s just one of those deals that is currently out of everyone’s control.”
The Castrol tour returns to action Sept. 13 at Fairbury (Ill.) Speedway with the third annual One for the Road paying $22,022-to-win and $1,000-to-start.
Correction: Corrects date for Fairbury event.
