The season was scheduled to open last night. However, rain rolled into the area and washed out the show. Grey clouds fill the skies but we’re set for a full night of racing.
The grandstands are packed full of avid dirt racing fans and the pit area is full of cars. NASCAR Cup Series star Kyle Larson is on the entry list for tonight’s race and NASCAR Truck Series driver Stewart Friesen is making his dirt late model debut.
Tyler Erb and Brandon Overton line up on the front row for the feature race. The field lines up in a four wide salute for the crowd and 50 laps of dirt late model racing is up next…
