CONCORD, N.C. — The World of Outlaws Late Model Series has been forced to cancel this weekend’s Southeast tripleheader.
With an outlook of below freezing temperatures, including wind chills in the 20s, together with heavy rain and thunderstorms this weekend throughout northern Georgia, the series was forced to cancel the event at Boyd’s (Ga.) Speedway after consultation with the Precision Weather Service.
Also, with the already rescheduled Smoky Mountain (Tenn.) Speedway race on Thursday only viable for competitors while paired with the Boyd’s Speedway weekend, World of Outlaws and track officials decided to cancel the event as series officials continue to create multi-day, destination events.
A one-day show with no other event in reasonable traveling distance for teams and fans is cost-prohibitive and no longer practical.
The weather system, according to PWS, is expected to have significant precipitation, and create potentially dangerous travel conditions as the weekend unfolds.
Neither event will be made up.
