WHEATLAND, Mo. – 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.”

Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds, Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Models and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods also are on the schedule.
