See if Duck River would run March 12th or 19th, looks like these dates are open.

The forecast I’m looking at says 50% chance of rain Friday night. Not much before then, or after. This call wouldn’t have shocked me on Wednesday, but making it on Monday is pretty dang quick. Maybe they’ll run two nights at Smoky Mountain now.

Seems like Duck River has either cancelled early or made drastic changes to some of their late model races the past few years. I know something happened with the Deep Fried 75 last year where the purse was reduced.

Cloudy with a high of 58 on Friday. There’s no larger than an 8% chance of rain for the next week.

If that forecast isn’t good enough, maybe don’t schedule a race in early March.

I agree I don't think they had any intentions to run that race.

they have backed up on several races the past 2-3 years or so, cut purses too, he has made it hard to trust him

I would be shocked if WoO gives Duck River this date again next year.

They must fear that the crowd won't be big enough, for whatever reason...

The weather changed big time in the past few days, all across the KY/TN/GA region.

Didn't Ponderosa do something similar a few yrs ago with Lucas Oil. And they still get dates after that.

It was 2018. The track had sold and they didn't have a promoter, so it was going to be just sitting, but somehow they still had a date for a lucas race. I'm thinking it was Chris Tilley that stepped in and ran the race track for that season.

I could be wrong. It was something funky no one understood.
