WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – Due to persistent overnight and morning rain showers, Weedsport Speedway’s Thunder on the Erie special, featuring the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series, has been canceled.

There will be no rain date for this event.

“The overnight and morning rains have proved to be too much,” said Weedsport Speedway Promoter, Jimmy Phelps.  “The heaviest rain looks to still be on the way this morning and now the forecast is calling for the rains to stay with us longer than we anticipated.  We were really excited for this show, but we believe this move is in the best interest of teams and fans traveling from great distances for this race.”

C.J. Leary has claimed the Eastern Storm title with 223 points over Tyler Courtney (210), Chase Stockon (206), Chris Windom (199) and Brady Bacon (196), who round out the top-five in the standings.
