Thursday show rained out; Plenty of sunshine and speed expected Friday and Saturday at Featherlite Fall Jamboree
The program for Thursday at the Deer Creek Speedway has been canceled. Rain throughout the night and into Thursday morning forced track officials to pull the plug on Thursday's action at the 20th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.
Event organizers said that the weather forecast looks favorable after tonight so Friday and Saturday programs are on as scheduled.
"We will see what this weather this afternoon brings and make a final decision in regards to the Thursday race," said Deer Creek Speedway's Cole Queensland. "The rest of the weekend looks great."
With dozens of campers and race teams already on site, entertainment in the beer garden will go on as scheduled Thursday night from 7-10 p.m. with Bob Schlief Music playing live music.
The Annual Club Car Jamboree Open golf tournament on Friday morning has also been canceled.
All other events for Friday and Saturday are on as scheduled with opening ceremonies and the first night of racing on Friday, followed by another night of marquee dirt modified madness on Saturday with USMTS Modifieds and the Iron Man Challenge featuring Out-Pace USRA B-Mods on the card.
Race fans will witness a complete program both nights, with $5,000 going to the Modified winner on Friday while Saturday’s winner will pocket $10,000. B-Mods will battle for $1,000 to win Friday and $1,200 to win Saturday’s finale.
Thirty cars will start the main event each night in both divisions, and Saturday’s championship main events will start three-wide.
On Friday and Saturday, the Modifieds will be co-sanctioned by the USRA with drivers earning Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points in both the Modifieds and B-Mods.
