BRIDGEPORT, N.J. — Wet grounds from the accumulation of rainfall over the last few days have forced cancellation of Thursday night’s USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship Eastern Midget Week event at Bridgeport Speedway.

The track and infield had accumulated too much rain, and by race day afternoon, had still not dried enough to allow the track crew to prepare the racing surface.

Eastern Midget Week continues Friday night at Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run, Pa. and Saturday at Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway in Newmanstown, Pa.

The USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series debuts Sunday at Pennsylvania’s Selinsgrove Speedway on Sunday night for the inaugural Bill Holland Classic.
