Speedway Loses Another One to Wet Weather

Jamaica, VA – Mother Nature has not been kind to Virginia Motor Speedway. Wet weather and the forecast for more have forced officials to cancel Dirt Track Saturday Night racing activities for Saturday April 30, 2016. “With the rain we have already had, the cold temperatures and more rain headed our way we are forced to make this tough decision. Believe me, we want to race as much as anyone else”, commented track General Manager Clarke Sawyer. The Speedway will take the weekend of May 7th off for Mothers Day and return to racing on Saturday May 14, 2016 for Truckin Thunder Scout Night presented by Northern Neck Chevrolet.
