Rain Forces Delay in Midst of Super Late Model Preview

In what was expected to be a small preview of next weekends big Memorial Day Weekend Super Late Model race, fans of the Cleveland Speedway were forced (by mother-nature) to wait, due to continuing thundershowers. After two, hour plus rain delays all looked well as the Hobby division completed their feature. This set the stage for the Super Late Models. Unfortunately as the field roared around to the green a light / steady shower again forced a delay. The on again / off again showers persisted until speedway officials had no choice but to cancel the remainder of the races. With the "big" Southern All-Star Memorial Day Weekend show scheduled for next Saturday night May 27th, speedway officials have decided to pick up where they left off in two weeks on Saturday night June 3rd. With the Hobby division feature completed, they will have a night off of action (June 3rd).

The Hobby feature was action packed as Richard Dixon (# 3) of Cleveland (fresh off his Mid Season Championship win last weekend) battled hard to get by early race leader / heat race winner Lynn McNeese. Following Dixon across the checkers was David Rodgers, James Nichols, defending Hobby Champion Doyle Herron, and Dirk Carter.

In the qualifying for the Super Late Model division Shawn Chastain (# 15) of Murphy NC rolled off the quick time of 14:545 to earn the BudLight Pole award. Chastain lead to the checkers the first of three heat races, subsequently earning himself the pole for the feature. Ricky Holland (# 42) of Ooltewah TN (this years Shamrock 100 winner) earned the outside pole by virtue of winning the second heat. David Millians (# 9) of Chickamagua beat third fastest qualifier David Payne for the third and final heat of the night. In the last chance consolation race Jason McMahan (# 10) of Knoxville TN took the win.
