Wilkesboro Race Postponed, Lacks Support From Track Owner

Wilkesboro Race Postponed, Lacks Support From Track Owner?
Tracks - 5/28/09
Flooding in the Wilkes County area has officially postponed this weekend's planned reopening of North Wilkesboro Speedway (NC).  Track officials released a statement on Thursday that the Super Late Model/Late Model features there could not run because needed improvements to the track have been delayed due to the flooding.  They have not released a make-up date, but are "hoping for it to be in the next two or three weeks."  Meanwhile, track owner Bruton Smith told ESPN that the races planned for the track are a surprise to him - and he didn't sound very supportive either.

"I own the place and it's for sale, but I did not know there was going to be anything there," Smith said to ESPN. "The last time I saw it, it was just slowly returning to the earth."

North Wilkesboro SLM/LM Race Postponed Until June 13 - 14
Race22.com - 5/27/09
According to Race22.com, promoter Charles Collins has postponed this weekend's doubleheader for the Late Model Stock Cars and Super Late Models at North Wilkesboro Speedway in NC.  Collins said recent rain in the area has cancelled testing and thus bumped the program's race date.  The event, which will bring racing back to the famed
North Wilkesboro track for the first time in years, is now rescheduled for June 13th & 14th.
