Winter Weather Forces Cancellation Of Spring Smash-O-Rama Saturday At Rockford
Rockford, IL- Rockford Speedway was set to open its 60th Anniversary Season
with a bang this Saturday night during the O’Reilly Auto Parts Spring
Smash-O-Rama. Old Man Winter had other plans as the Stateline Area is
predicted to see temperatures barely reaching the thirties by Saturday with
lows well into the teens mixed with the chance of snow.
“The simplest way to put it is, water can’t run when it is this cold,
without running water, we can’t run an event with spectators,” stated
Speedway Operations Manager Max Dickson. Anyone that had purchased
advance tickets for this event is invited to use those tickets during the
Friday Night Fright event scheduled for Friday, May 25 at the Rockford
Speedway. Discount coupons which had been distributed will be honored on that
night as well as on Saturday night April 21 during the Coca-Cola NASCAR
event.
Rockford Speedway will have cars on the track from noon until four this
Saturday afternoon for an Open Practice which will see multiple divisions of
cars preparing for the season ahead. Pit gates will open at 10AM for this
practice session.
The 60th Anniversary Season will attempt to begin next Saturday and Sunday
with the running of the 30th annual Spring Classic featuring the Wisconsin
Challenge Series in a 150 lap Championship Feature. For a complete
schedule of events and additional information, visit www.rockfordspeedway.com
or call the Speedway Box Office at 815-633-1500.
