Rain Halts NSS Qualifying This Weekend
Defending Race Champions Set to Preserve Titles While List of Starters Grows
Lexington, NC (September 27, 2008): Three of the final remaining qualifying races for the 6 th Annual John Blewett III Memorial North-South Shootout scheduled for this weekend have been postponed by inclement weather. Yet another tropical storm pounded the northeast canceling all racing in the region for the duration of the weekend. The “King of the Mountain” event scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Mountain Speedway were to have carried starting spots for both the Modified and SK-Type Modified portions of the annual North-South Shootout.
On Sunday, in Claremont, NH, the Twin State Speedway was set to proudly host the first-ever Ricky Miller Memorial 100 for the True Value Modified Racing Series. The winner of that event would also secure a starting spot for their car owner in the Modified portion of the Shootout.
Both the Sport Mod and Modified events at Mountain Speedway have been rescheduled for next weekend, Saturday, October 4 and 5, respectively. With a busy schedule in New England racing, Twin State Speedway has scheduled their make-up for the event on October 25 & 26, 2008. All three events will remain on the Shootout qualifying race schedule.
The final two qualifying spots in the Modified portion of the 6 th Annual John Blewett III Memorial North-South Shootout will be up for grabs on October 25. A northern winner will be decided at All-Star Speedway in Epping, NH while a southern starter will be determined at Hickory Speedway in Hickory, NC .
