I need some news posters or track reporters, anybody that can help. If you want to follow a class and write articles on that specific class at different tracks, then we can work something out. I'm open to any and all help and any and all ideas, so if you have them, let me know ASAP. You can E-Mail me at mark@shorttrackwarriors.com or you can text message my cell phone.

| Tuesday's Lucas Oil Race - Class Correction |
| Comments: (0) | Filed under: Cleveland Speedway | Print |
On the Cleveland Speedway website, the press release titled "More Info on Race for Juvenile Diabetes", is incorrect. I have confirmed with a track official that the Limited Late Models WILL NOT be racing on Tuesday with the Lucas Oil. The schedule and the ticker on the track's website says the Crate Late Models will be running along with A-Hobby, however the release stated the wrong information.
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, Crate Late Models $1,500 to win, and an A-Hobby feature.

The cars and superstars of the national-touring Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be making their first-ever sanctioned event at the Cleveland Speedway on Tuesday night June 16th, paying $7,000-to-win as a part of a 7-race swing across 10 days. Back on April 4th, a Lucas Oil race in North Carolina was rained out, so some of the Lucas Oil racers went to Cleveland for the Shamrock 60 where Lucas Oil standout Billy Moyer claimed victory, with Cleveland regulars claiming 5th and 8th!

Earlier today, Wartburg Speedway announced they would try to race today, however, Mother Nature is bringing her 2nd round of heavy rain and thunderstorms toward Wartburg Speedway, and has forced the track management to cancel tonight's program. As of 2:45p ET, Dopplar Radar indicated a batch of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms stretching from close to Crossville, all the way over to almost Jackson, TN, with the rain moving East and the thunderstorms moving south-southeast.
Next weekend the Wartburg speedway will not be in action due to Crossville Raceway's scheduled Tennessee Thunder DirtCar Series race on Friday. Wartburg will return to action on May 15th.
