HARTFORD, Ohio – The 90th anniversary season opener at Sharon Speedway will have to wait as heavy afternoon rain on Friday forced the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and RUSH Sportsman Modified event to be cancelled.

This marked the third time in four tries that the April Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series date has been rained out.

The next event at Sharon will be an open practice on Saturday, April 27. Racing resumes on Saturday, May 4 with the Buckeye Cup featuring the first of three appearances by Tony Stewart’s Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions along with the non-winged RUSH Sprint Cars.

The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be back in action Saturday at Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway.
