MEEKER, Okla. — Saturated grounds, coupled with more early morning precipitation on race day, has forced cancellation of Tuesday Night Thunder featuring the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship on July 11 at Red Dirt Raceway.
Nearly 10 inches of rain has fallen at the track since last Thursday and another 2.5 inches of accumulation overnight has made conditions at the quarter-mile dirt oval unraceable for this evening.
The Red Dirt event was to be the opener of Mid-America Midget Week.
The USAC National Midgets now travel north to Beloit, Kansas on Wednesday night, July 12, for the 12th running of the Chad McDaniel Memorial at the Mitchell County Fairgrounds.
From there, the series moves to Fairbury, Nebraska’s Jefferson County Speedway, starting Thursday, July 13, with an open practice followed by two-straight nights of racing during the Riverside Chevrolet Midwest Midget Championship presented by Westin Packaged Meats & Schmidt’s Sanitation on Friday, July 14, and Saturday, July 15, the latter of which concludes with a $10,000-to-win, 40-lap feature event.
