SOMERSET, KY (March 27, 2011)—The STARS Midwest Dirt Racing League and the STARS Volunteer Racing Series presented by Arizona Sport Shirts have had to regrettably make an announcement concerning the events at the Ponderosa Speedway located in Junction City, KY.
Effective immediately, the four events that were scheduled on Friday Nights of April 22 (MDRL), May 20 (MDRL), June 24 (MDRL vs. VRS) and August 19 (MDRL) have been removed from the schedule citing financial concerns from promoter Donnie Sullivan.
Mr. Sullivan informed Series Director Chris Tilley on Sunday Afternoon March 27th that he could not meet the financial obligations of the event purse totaling $13,235.00 on either of the nights.
‘It’s unfortunate for the series and for the track, but I want the drivers to always get their purse monies, and I didn’t feel it was right to try and move forward with these dates and then promoter come up at the end of the night and say that he didn’t have the money to pay them,’ stated STARS MDRL and STARS VRS Director Chris Tilley.
‘We will move forward from this unfortunate situation and may fill some of the dates left open but if we don’t that’s okay. I just felt that the 15 races we had in place for the series we’re in good spots for the drivers and the promoters,’ said Tilley again.
