CRANDALL, Texas -- Another one of those '40% chance of t-storms' forecast today have turned into a reality of 3" of rain at RPM Speedway...and at the time of writing, it's still raining throughout the Metroplex.

So, the Friday June 7th races have been rained out.

However, it will have no effect on the RPM Summer Shootout for RaceSaver Sprint Cars, USRA Modifieds, Limited Modifieds, Street Stocks and Factory Stocks this Sunday, June 9th. There will be plenty of drying time to get the track whipped back into shape over the weekend.

Here's the nuts and bolts of the schedule changes due to this latest round of weather:

FRIDAY June 7 - Rained Out.

SUNDAY June 9 - RPM Summer Shootout, 4pm start time, visit track website for complete event flyer & details.

FRIDAY June 14 - $1,000 to win USRA Modified feature (from 5/24, field is set), $500 to win Street Stocks feature (from 5/24, field is set); then we'll run the regularly scheduled points race for RaceSaver Sprint Cars, USRA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Limited Modifieds and Factory Stocks. (The 5/24 make up feature for the RaceSaver Sprint Cars will now be held on Friday July 19th.)

Please click www.RPMSpeedwayTX.com for updated schedules (reflecting these changes) and make plans now to join us this SUNDAY, JUNE 9th for an exciting twilight racing program with the first running of the RPM Summer Shootout.

Current forecast for race time (Sunday, June 9th at 4pm) shows partly cloudy, 0% chance of precip, a light breeze out of the south and temps of upper 80's; and the sun at that time will be to your back in the stands... Bo promises to keep the track as racy as possible, so it should make for a fantastic event - don't miss it!
