Mother Nature Uncooperative at Ponderosa Speedway; Spring Showdown Next on May 24

Junction City, KY-May 17, 2013- A slow drizzle of rain started falling at around 5:30 p.m. at Ponderosa Speedway on Friday afternoon and continued to fall, and with a forecast for more predicted around 10:00 p.m., the call was made at 6:15 p.m. by track promoters Larry, Chad, and Sarah Yantz to have cancel the racing program scheduled for Friday evening May 17 with race teams still filing into the pit area.
