Ponderosa Speedway’s “Junebug” Rowland Memorial Rained Out July 18; Reset for TOMORROW Saturday July 19

Junction City, KY-July 18, 2014- Ponderosa Speedway track promoter Jerry Denson and staff were set to return to action with the 14th Annual Hugh “Junebug” Rowland Memorial event on Friday July 18 at the 3/8 mile D-shaped red clay oval better known as “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring”, but Mother Nature would get involved and alter those plans.

Light showers would start in around Noon and would become more steadier by around 2:00 p.m., then would taper off, but the rain showers returned around 3:30 p.m. and just would not let up, forcing track officials to postpone the “Junebug” Memorial event.
