Spring Nationals Weekend Opener at Thunderhill Halted by Rain; $15,053 to win Finale STILL ON
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Shortly after the Super Late Model hot lap session concluded tonight at Thunderhill Raceway, the skies opened up and the $5,053 to win Schaeffer's Oil Spring Nationals Series program was rained out. Tomorrow's $15,053 to win weekend finale is STILL ON as scheduled. Times will be moved up an hour earlier tomorrow with hot laps now scheduled for 5:00pm CST.
If you bought a two-day arm band, you will receive a refund for tonight's rainout. If you bought a one-day arm band, you'll only pay the difference in price for tomorrow's show. If you can not make it back to the track on Saturday, please hold onto the band and it will be good for a race later this season.
