PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. — Due to the current power outages affecting many throughout the Midwest, including Lincoln Park Speedway, Friday and Saturday night’s Bill Gardner Sprintacular has been postponed to Sunday, July 2 and Monday, July 3.
Severe thunderstorms and damaging winds hit the five-sixteenths-mile dirt oval midday Thursday, knocking out electricity to the track.
Much effort was put into restoring power to the track in time for this weekend’s events, but as of late afternoon on Friday’s race day, the venue remained without power.
The ninth annual Bill Gardner Sprintacular will resume on Sunday with a program consisting of the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship co-sanctioned by the Midwest Sprint Car Series, plus 305 RaceSaver Sprint Cars and modifieds.
Monday’s event features the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship co-sanctioned by the Midwest Sprint Car Series, plus the Midwest Mini Sprint Ass’n, super stocks and bombers.
