HAUBSTADT, Ind. — The 10th running of the Spring Showdown featuring the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and Midwest Sprint Car Series, scheduled for Saturday, April 30, at Tri-State Speedway, has been canceled due to severe thunderstorms that are forecasted to arrive during the night’s racing event.
Using an immense amount of vigilance with costs in mind and the severity of the weather set to arrive, Tri-State Speedway and USAC officials determined that making a decision early on race day was the prudent choice in this instance for the safety of race teams and race fans planning to attend the event.
“We’ve never been in favor of canceling a race ahead of time, and don’t intend to be in the future,” Tri-State Speedway Promoter Tom Helfrich stated. “But in this instance, it is the responsible thing to do.”
USAC racing returns to Tri-State Speedway four more times in 2022. The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship is back on July 30 for Indiana Sprint Week and on September 17 for the Haubstadt Hustler. The USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship is in action at The Class Track on June 5 for Indiana Midget Week and on October 8 for Harvest Cup.
