A late afternoon thunderstorm in Blue Ridge, Georgia dumped a lot of rain in a short period of time. Both SAS and Sugar Creek Raceway officials will look for a suitable make-up date if possible.

The drivers meeting is set for 6:45pm and hot laps will follow shortly thereafter.
Grandstand admission will be $20.00 for adults and FREE for children ages 9 and under. Admission into the pit area will be $45.00 for adults and $25.00 for kids ages 12 and under.
