    Lucas Oil LM at Deer Creek gets what they deserve, RAIN.

    The Gopher 50 was always the Wednesday before the 4th of July. The last few years have been the Saturday before the 4th. Seems to me they should have been running next Saturday and not scheduling the same weekend as Jackson Motorplex Nationals WOO Sprints 3 day event. The 2 tracks are 1 hour 45 minutes apart all trying to fill their stands. This is a classic who cares but many of these fans would do both if they were on separate Weekends. Looks like they both may get rained out tonight and we need rain up here in this area.

      Imagine driving that far and not getting to race.

        I guarantee McCreadie and Richards are especially pissed. They’d have much rather been at Lernerville.

          Yes long drive for nothing. Looks like they’ve gotten a pretty good amount of rain.

              If it was going to be a Lucas Oil race it had to be this weekend or wedged in between the races at Smoky Mountain in Tennessee on the 9th and 10th and the race at 34 on the 15th... Lucas Oil is very busy in July, which is why makeup races for them have seemed hard to come by.

                Oh I get it that they switched to Lucas oil and next weekend wasn’t available. Just saying that the 2 biggest shows in this area were on the same weekend which hurts both. Jackson will still be running tonight’s $50,000 to win Woo Sprint Nationals at this time. No rain there until this morning and it’s about out of the area.

                  Josh, T-mac I agree, Richards who knows. Not sure how that format worked out but wouldn't they have to be there either Thursday or Friday to get locked in for tonight ?

                    I can't believe they kept those guys our there last night, and there basically being a 100% chance of rain for today. They shouldve called it then. Let the guys that want to try and race somewhere do it. They just got hung out to dry.

                      Very disappointing but part of the game. Mother Nature can be cruel sometimes.

                        I am of the impression they could have raced last night after the rain. They should have prepped the track at 8:30 PM and run the Friday show, The race could have been run after the rain. At least they would have gotten one night of racing in for the fans and drivers.

                          Bronson was there and left for Pevely but got rained out there as well. I believe they knew it was canceled before some may think.

                            With the high percentage today. I was also wondering how many had left before the announcement. It shows DirtCar tweeted the cancellation at 8:54 am and Lucas at around Noon
