Lake Cumberland Speedway’s LC Classic Tune-Up Rained Out

Burnside, KY- May 12, 2012- Lake Cumberland Speedway was set to present the Lake Cumberland Classic Tune-Up event on Saturday evening, but Mother Nature would have other ideas as rain showers moved over the 3/8 mile Pulaski County clay oval just as time trials were completed.

The rain showers were just enough to grease up the racing surface really bad and after a check of weather radar by track officials, it appeared more rain was on the way. With the curfew in place at the track, along with the time it would have taken to get the race surface rolled back in and made safe for competition, the program faced the possibility of not being able to be completed, so the remainder of the event was cancelled for the evening. A make-up date for this event will be announced on Sunday.

Prior to the rains moving into the area, Dustin Neat of Dunnville, KY had set quick time in the Super Late Model division at 12.916 seconds, while Tommy Bailey of Corbin, KY was the top qualifier in the Modified division at 14.424 seconds.

Up next at Lake Cumberland Speedway will be a full program of racing action on Saturday evening May 19 featuring Super Late Models, Modifieds, Super Dirt Stocks, Sportsman, and Front Wheel Drives all in competition.

Lake Cumberland Speedway is located at 1 Racetrack Road, just outside of Burnside, KY, just past the entrance to General Burnside Island State Park. Brandon Hardgrove is the track promoter and presents dirt track racing entertainment on Saturday evenings. The track is located on Racetrack Road off of US Hwy. 127 South, only about five miles south of Somerset, KY.
