Farmer City Raceway Castrol® FloRacing Night in America Moves to Sept. 22
Rain Pushes $10,000-To-Win Affair Back a Day to Wednesday

FARMER CITY, Ill. (September 22, 2021) — Mother Nature continues to wreak havoc on the freshman campaign for the Castrol® FloRacing Night in America. Persistent showers have forced Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway officials to move today’s originally scheduled $10,000-to-win program to tomorrow, Wednesday, September 22.

“As expected, a cold front passed through overnight, and while it left the facility wet, things were still going to be manageable for today’s show. Unfortunately, Mother Nature threw us an unexpected curveball, and multiple pop-up showers have hit the track early this afternoon, leaving the facility too wet to race tonight,” series general manager, Ben Shelton said. “Forecasts are calling for beautiful fall-like conditions tomorrow, so we’ll look forward to hosting our series first event at the ¼-mile oval then.”

The Farmer City Raceway event on Wednesday, September 22 will see the Castrol® FloRacing Night in America competitors battling for a purse that includes $10,000-to-win / $700 to start, and is distributed as follows:

1)$10,000 2)$5,000 3)$3,000 4)$2,500 5)$2,000 6)$1,750 7)$1,600 8)$1,500 9)$1,400 10)$1,300 11)$1,200 12)$1,100 13)$1,000 14)$900 15)$800 16-22)$700
