Following a wet week and with more rain in the forecast later Saturday, Lucas Oil Speedway has postponed its season-opening Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program until Sunday.

"We know everyone is eager to race and we want cars on the track, so we've decided to race on Sunday when the forecast is much better," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "We'll move the schedule an hour earlier to help everyone get home at a decent hour."

Spectator gates for the Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Night at the Races Presented by OzarksFIRST.com will open at 3 p.m. Sunday with hot laps at 5:30 and racing at 6:05. The pit office will open at 1 p.m.

Lorton said drivers who were preregistered for Saturday's program will be eligible to compete and it will be a points program. Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will be in action with Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Models and O'Reilly Auto Parts Street Stocks also on the schedule.

For fans, due to COVID-19 precautions, social distancing of 6 feet will be required for the grandstands, though families are allowed to sit together. Fans should leave at least one space between vehicles in the parking lot. Drivers in the pit area will be required to leave one pit stall between haulers.
