Cleveland Speedway Rescheduleds Shamrock For April 7th

[SASPR]

SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES PR #5

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MANAGEMENT OF CLEVELAND SPEEDWAY

CLEVELAND, TN--Due to the frantic task of getting Cleveland Speedway prepared to host the Shamrock Southern All-Star race this weekend, the new management would like to announce the following.

We have rescheduled the race for Saturday, April 7th.

It is our sincere belief it would be unfair to the race fans of Cleveland, the fans of Southern All-Stars and to the many drivers to hastily try to race on a facility that is not ready. We apologize to anyone this has inconvenienced.

We have commitments from many national race teams, the Southern All-Stars, plus many local drivers to attend this event. We ask for everyone across the region to come and make this the best Shamrock ever!

Was looking forward to finally seeing a good race this weekend but I guess we will have to wait. Only problem is being scheduled April 7th its the same night as the SRRS at Sugar Creek Raceway in Blue Ridge, Ga which will be the first race back in action at this great facility so I will have to decide where to go.

Boyd's

Do not forget Boyd's this Friday night, 5K to win SLM. Hopefully the "R" will not change the plans. They always have a great show, it moves right along too, not much downtime.

I was thinking about it. I made my first trip there earlier this year for the Cabin Fever its a neat fast little track I picked the wrong time for my 1st trip as the action wasnt great that day but it was to be expected since it was a day race. I have heard about lots of good races there though so I hope to give it another go maybe Friday we will see.

Idea!!!!

Tri-County.Sugar Creek, and Cleveland all have big money races scheduled for that weekend

What if:

Tri-County ran on Thursday Night $2000 to win unsanctioned

Sugar Creek on Friday Night $3000 S.R.R.S

Cleveland on Saturday Night $10,000 SAS

3 races 3 nights all within a 2 hour driving distance of each other, that way drivers and fans dont have to choose between Sugar Creek and Cleveland and can go to both races and go to tri -county on thursday as a bonus

this could be a great example of tracks and series working together to put on great shows for the fans

Sucks for the creek, their race has been scheduled for a while now.

Who all exactly is running cleveland?

Dirtfather...that would be cool...I'd like to see that...not sure how the tornado that hit Murphy.nc last week will effect tri-county...kinda rough on the community...and yes I agree that sugar creek has been on the schedule for a while...its not their fault that cleveland is having many issues trying to get started...I hope people will support sugar creek...that's also Easter weekend so fans don't want to be out all night either... Jmo..

Who is The Manegement at Cleveland? Not a good way to start, The Creek will do O.K., but this does hurt. JMO

1 is out

According to the article on DOD, one of the former co-owners (MM) is out.

It helps to have the facility prepared, if you actually attempt to prepare it... No one has been around all winter. Cleveland Speedway looks like a ghost town. The grader, water truck, packer truck, broken bleachers, etc., is still in the same position it's been in all winter long. I find it impossible to believe that they just realized on Wednesday before the race weekend that they would not be prepared. From what I've heard, the new management is the old management, so I can understand their confussion. I grew up there and have so many awesome memories of the old Cleveland Speedway. It pains me so to watch it get flushed down the crapper by the new(OLD) management.

probaly could not work on track while tied up in court

[babybird1972]

From what I heard one of the reasons they couldn't open is because of the fact that most of the front pit gate is down. Some juveniles tried to steal the wrecker and took out most of it. This just happened within the past week so it didn't leave them too much time to get it fixed.

boyd's speedway was scheduled to have a sas race tonight and they have been working on the race track week after week... I don't know anything about gates, but that didn't have anything to do with not repairing the broken and brittle boards all over the grandstands or attempting to somewhat grade the track. And from what i understand, they made arrangements through the bankruptcy months ago to be able to race this year. I've known ronnie a long time and wish him the best and hope that things work out. I'm sure it's going to be tough on him juggling 2 businesses. He needs someone at the race track or a partner, that he can depend on. Unfortunetely he has't had it. It has hurt to see cleveland run down and i'm tired of the excuses. Joe lee worked there pretty much 365 to be able to race, not just when he needed the cash to go buy a bunch of personal equipment. Praying for cleveland!!!

Ditto !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not sure who told you the gate was just tore down last week, but that happened about 6 weeks ago.
