Rain Creates Sunshine Swing Doubleheader

LAKE CITY, Fla. – Mother Nature won night one of the Sunshine Swing at All-Tech Raceway.

The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By Sunoco will have to wait one more day to wave the green flag on racing at the half-mile speedway.

Forty-two Short Track Super Series Modifieds and 31 Crate 602 Sportsman signed in at the pit gate to participate in the first Short Track Super Series race in the state of Florida.

With storms in the area all day, the skies opened up just as the fourth group went out for hot laps to begin the night. Cars never returned to the track once the rain began.

Short Track Super Series and All-Tech Raceway officials made the decision to make Friday a double show.

Cars will hit the speedway at approximately 5:30 p.m., running the full scheduled show from Thursday.

Following the conclusion of the makeup event, there will be a brief intermission followed by the full second show originally scheduled for Friday night.

The Modifieds will race for $5,000 in the first show, followed by a $7,500 winner’s share in the second event. The Crate 602 Sportsman will run for $1,250 in both feature events tomorrow night.

Hot laps hit the track at 5:30 p.m. Racing gets underway immediately following. The events will be carried live on Dirt Track Digest TV, a SPEED SPORT Network affiliate.Â
