    Default LaSalle??

    "PACE Promotions and the Waite family regret to announce the cancellation of the 9th Annual Bill Waite, Jr. Memorial Classic on July 21st, 2019, at LaSalle Speedway. Over the past weekend, we were informed by LaSalle Speedway management that they have decided to cease operations immediately. We wish to thank the entire “Waite” team, over 100 sponsor/ advertisers, late model and sprint drivers, and organizations that have already offered guidance and/or committed their time and dollars to the 2019 edition of the Bill Waite, Jr. Memorial Classic."

    Man this sucks. I really enjoyed my two trips to LaSalle. Was looking forward to going back in a couple weeks.

    Wonder if WRG will lease the track for the Summernationals event, or if they will reschedule somewhere else.

    Isn't Tony Promoter of the Wilmot event too? Wonder if they'll both be canceled or up for grabs.

    WRG could move Tony's summernationals event to Sycamore. Oh wait, they've already done that screw job.

    Thanks for clarifying. Cool someone kept Wilmot going after Tony. Think he started the Summernats at Wilmot, didn't he?

    Where is the official statement at? I want to see who gets the blame for the track closing.

    It hasn't come yet. Maybe they are calming down?

    The Bill Waite Jr. memorial FB posted it. But not Lasalle themselves so far.

    I'm not surprised this has happened. They have been on thin ice for a while now. You never knew from race to race whether they were going to race or not.
