Story By: DAVE SEAY / VIRGINIA MOTOR SPEEDWAY – JAMAICA, VA – After finishing qualifying and heats for all divisions, Mother Nature decided to spoil the party by bringing heavy rains to the area.
Speedway officials tried to wait it out, but the heavy rain would just not let up, forcing officials to cancel the remainder of the Commonwealth Clash presented by Truckin Thunder.
