Beckley and Tyler County Postponed |
|
CAMARGO, IL (5-14-08) by Bryan Autullo - All Star PR Director Events scheduled for this weekend at Beckley Speedway and Tyler County Speedway in West Virginia have been postponed due to both tracks making a financial decision to move the dates to later in the season. Both tracks have been suffering from a sluggish economy this early season, and both promoters decided they could not bear the financial risk at this time. The O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions wish to apologize to drivers and fans for this late notice in the postponement of both events, but word was not received until late last weekend that the Tyler County event was also being moved. No rescheduled dates have been set as of yet. The All Stars will resume action on May 24th at Fremont Speedway which is now under new management. The All Stars look forward to making a return visit to the historic speedway in Northern Ohio which will be a homecoming for several drivers who got their start racing there on a weekly basis. For more info on that event visit www.fremontohspeedway.com. Also, be on the lookout for several All Star teams to make an appearance at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC on May 23rd to join the World of Outlaws for that televised event.
