Wet forecast cancels Thursday Night Madness at Lucas Oil Speedway


Due to a weather forecast of rain beginning before race time and continuing throughout the night, the Thursday Night Madness program at Lucas Oil Speedway has been canceled.

USRA Tuners were slated to be the highlight of the special program.

"It's hard to cancel an event when its not raining, but to save racers and fans from driving all the way here to get rained out, we are making the difficult decision to cancel," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "It's not worth the risk. So we are going to cancel today's event."

The Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series featuring USRA Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods will resume at the Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, May 13, for Vietti Marketing Group Night.
