Wet Weather Cancels Crossville; Lake Cumberland & Clarksville Spring Nationals Events Still On

Story By: RYAN DELPH / SPRING NATIONALS SERIES – BRASSTOWN, NC – With a forecast of wet weather throughout the day on Thursday, April 27, tomorrow’s Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series event scheduled for Crossville Speedway in Crossville, Tennessee has been canceled.

The $7,553 to win program will not be rescheduled. The remainder of the weekend, which will take the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing and fueled by Sunoco competitors to Lake Cumberland Speedway and Clarksville Speedway, is still on as scheduled.

A $7,553 top prize will be on the line on Friday night at Lake Cumberland, while a $10,053 paycheck will be up for grabs at Clarksville on Saturday evening.

“We hate to cancel the show tomorrow night at Crossville, but the weather forecast looks really bleak and hasn’t improved at all,” quoted series promoter Ray Cook this afternoon. “The series looks forward to returning to Crossville in the future, but no suitable makeup date is available for this year. The rain looks to be out of the Burnside, Kentucky area on Friday morning, so we are hopeful to get our inaugural Lake Cumberland event in the books that night, as well as Clarksville on Saturday where the weather forecast looks beautiful.”

The Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals tour will make their first-ever appearance at Lake Cumberland Speedway on Friday, April 28. Joining the Super Late Models on the racing card will be the Pro Late Models ($1,200 to win), Open Wheel Modifieds ($1,000 to win), FWD Mini Stocks ($500 to win), and Grassroots Hobby Stocks ($500 to win). The gates at the historic Burnside, Kentucky venue will open at 2:00pm, while hot laps are slated to get underway at 7:00pm.

Adult grandstand admission is $30.00, while kids ages 10 and under will be admitted into the stands for FREE. Admission into the pit area will be $45.00. Lake Cumberland Speedway is located at 360 Racetrack Road in Burnside, Kentucky.
