CARTERSVILLE, GA – Rain has postponed the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Touring South Georgia events for this weekend. The $2,000-to-win 40-lap race at Oglethorpe Speedway Park in Savannah, GA is rescheduled for July 20, and the $4,000-to-win 60-lap event at Cochran Motor Speedway in Cochran, GA is rescheduled for July 21.

Heavy rains over the past couple of days and more heavy rains forecast for this Friday and Saturday have left the clay surface at both tracks unraceable for this weekend. This forced Durrence Layne Racing, Oglethorpe Speedway Park, and Cochran Motor Speedway officials to postpone the two races until the weekend of July 20 and 21.

The next event on the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Touring schedule will be the 14th Annual Salute To The Armed Forces Nationals over the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. The Salute To America Nationals has been held at different venues through the years, but it has been held at two Mississippi tracks for the past seven years.

Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS will present the $2,500-to-win Salute To The Navy 50 on Saturday night, May 26, and Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS will host the $2,000-to-win Salute To The Air Force 40 on Sunday night, May 27.
