Heavy Rain Cancels Mr. DIRT Track USA at Lebanon Valley

WEST LEBANON, N.Y. — With heavy rain at Lebanon Valley Speedway and weather models predicting more Saturday night into Sunday, Super DIRTcar Series and track officials have agreed to cancel Mr. DIRT Track USA.

The series now turns its attention to a September tripleheader with visits to Brockville Ontario Speedway (Sept. 5), Can-Am Speedway (Sept. 6), and Weedsport Speedway (Sept. 7).

Weedsport’s event is part of Cavalcade Weekend, with a $15,000 prize on the line and a guaranteed starting spot at Super DIRT Week 52.

Ten-time defending Super DIRTcar Series champion Matt Sheppard leads Mat Williamson by 34 points entering Brockville’s Canadian Classic. 

Not only is the Sheppard, N.Y. driver chasing an 11th title, but he’s also chasing 100 Series victories. He’ll reach the century mark with a sweep next weekend, becoming the second driver in Series history to accomplish that feat.

They’ll be joined by a stout field of Super DIRTcar Series full-time drivers, including Jimmy Phelps and Anthony Perrego, who’ve reached Victory Lane this year.
