    Volusia is canceled

    Rumor is they are having a meeting tomorrow to discuss this but all indications from people tonight is there will not be late models there. What a bummer

    The track is in that bad of conditions ? Boy, WRG is really falling on the Johnson on this deal. You can't tell me that a day in the Florida sunshine and a track crew working the track cannot get it back.

      Got the WoO in last night but barely got the mods started. If I was a late model driver I would not go there.

        Not sure what the new clay is but we were there a couple of weeks ago and it holds the moisture like I have never seen! It was horrible then and evidently they did not figure out a fix for it; why you would do what they did to the surface just before your biggest month of the year is beyond me.

            What a mess they created for themselves……….what “ somebody “ thought new clay was a good idea right before the big show?
            Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

              Can you imagine toting all the way to Volusia and getting dealt those cards. Race teams gotta be fuming.

                Race it cry babies. Loosen it up, pack the tear-off on, and put the cheap shocks on and race! Everything been being built for lazy track prep, now keys to water truck found they're lost and worst part is fans on here crying. When racing dirt costs got primadona we lost true grassroots racing

                  There’s a point where it’s not worth getting someone really hurt Jim.

                    Yup they should have totally kept racing with this stuff flying up in the stands.........

                    @MattWeaverRA @MattWeaverRA, this is the 20 pound cloud of mud that flew over the front stretch catch fence, ultimately canceling the rest of the evening's show.

                      So we were working on our car last night (last time we ran was Volusia Disaster I a couple of weeks ago). Piece of the clay stuck in between a couple of bars, dried up and had to use a hammer & screwdriver to get it out. Looks like a piece of pottery; if they do get the track to dry I am afraid of what those flying chunks will do....

                        Or even worse. Like a car, or wheel and tire. Volusia needs that tagged to their name again.

                          That chunk that they dug out of Brad Sweets car was insane. That could literally kill someone. Anyone thinking they made a bad decision is just not thinking straight.

                            I am surprised the sprint car portion wasn't a disaster and nobody got seriously hurt.

                              I don’t think the track even needed new clay.
