Cedar Rapids, IA (April 25, 2009) – Mother Nature won her second consecutive Mid-American Stock Car Series event Saturday, postponing the “Return to Rapids” until Saturday, August 8th.

A total of 26 Mid-American competitors were prepared to test the half-mile oval of Hawkeye Downs Speedway but were sent away for the second week in a row without taking a lap of competitive action.

The 32nd Annual Spring Classic at Rockford Speedway was canceled early last Sunday morning. It was slated to be the season opening event.

MASCS competitors will head back to that destination tomorrow for the rain date from last Sunday with the hope that the third time is the charm to get the 2009 season underway.

Qualifying at Rockford on Sunday begins at 11:15 a.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

Rockford Speedway is located at 9572 Forest Hills Road seven miles north of downtown Rockford, just two miles west of Interstate 90 at the intersection of Forest Hills Road and Highway 173 in Loves Park, IL. For more information please visit www.rockfordspeedway.com
