Personally if you are already committed, I feel you should make the effort to finish it. The drivers are ready to go. At this point, you make everyone else look smart by saying the races should have never happened. I don't know the rules, but when they give a reschedule date, only 23 cars can race, correct?
I'd say cause there's hardly a butt in the bleachers and the track gonna take a major hit on a 15k to win, 750 to start. Needed those fans. ....on rescheduled date, unless stated by track before, anybody can still show up and start in the back of a 6 or less car b-main.

Right on!!!!

They tweeted a lineup showing top 4 transfer and 2 provionals. I'd say they would have started them all though. It was going to be a big name like Ogle, Kerr, or Hill.

They screwed this one up.

Can somebody answer this question for me how can you have 2 provisionals when their's only 23 cars for a 24 car field don't make sense

My next prediction, by looking at Lucas and Outlaw schedules, with drivers from both series there, there ain't a good date. So I say it won't be made up.

Cancelled. What a joke. They knew basically all week of inclement weather

Good intentions paved the way to hell

Track looks bad for the way they handled this, but they still got one night of front and back gate cash, and don't have to pay any purse. Jackpot.

and that is one of the reasons they will lose fans...to my knowledge this track is trying to build a following. Not sure this was the way to increase their fanbase.

Yep, you are absolutely right. It seems as though the fans didn't get near as screwed as the drivers though, unless the track is doing something to reimburse those guys, at minimum for their pit pass. Bloomer is probably chapped, if he never wants to unload for less than 10k, he's gotta be ticked off for putting laps on his stuff for zero (no pun intended). He was probably just testing anyway lol
Seems like they should at least give each car that showed up A-feature starting money to cover a tire and some fuel. That ain't much but at least shows you somewhat give a darn.

Yeah, usually at the end of the night in winner's circle lol
I'm sure he's negotiated some show-up money plenty of times in the past.
-
Yeah the drivers got it worse than the fans. The fuel to get there, pit passes, laps on equipment, fuel for generators, then fuel back home with no pay.
-
Maybe some of these studs will head for Dixie tonight! Dang Mother Nature!
-
what a joke!!! paid last night for a 2 night/day show "with a $5 dollar discount" how am i suppose to get my money back smokey mountain sht hole????????????
-
Let me say this. I've criticized the track plenty. They should have canceled by Thursday. It all starts with them. But I have no sympathy for fans and drivers / race teams. They seen the forecast too.

I never could understand why the car count's are low for this race track ( only 23 showed up this time) this incident won't help
-
Wonder how many of those drivers are going to Carolina/Dixie tonight?
-
Davenport will be at Carolina tonight
