Rains Bring About First ABC Cancellation Since June
by Nick Gima
Ashland, WI, July 29 -- Although they are long overdue in this region, the
rains were nevertheless unwelcome when they began in earnest just as hot laps
were about to begin Satruday night, forcing ABC Raceway officials to cancel
the track’s Northern State Bank-sponsored program.
Action at the 3/8th-mile red clay oval will continue on Saturday, August 5,
with the rescheduled conclusion of the Bad River Lodge & Casino Modified
Triple Header, which was shortened by rain on June 17 - the last time a race
program at the Ashland speedway was affected by wet weather. The other four
regular ABC divisions - super stocks, street stocks, six-cylinders and pure
stocks - will also be in action.
Hot laps will begin at 6:15 pm and the first green flag of the night will drop
at 7. The ABC Raceway is located 3-1/2 miles south of Ashland on State Highway
13 and one mile west on Butterworth Road. “Racenight Live” will air
Saturday on WJJH, 96.7 & 102.3 FM, with up-to-date track news and weather
information. For raceday information call (715) 682-4990, or log on to the
track’s website, .
