JOLIET, Ill. – Rain started falling 16 laps into Sunday’s DIRTcar Summer Nationals event at Lincoln Speedway, forcing officials to cancel the remainder of the race.

Brian Shirley was leading the race under caution when Mother Nature intervened.

In addition, with weather soaking the Midwest, DIRTcar Summer Nationals officials have also opted to cancel Monday’s scheduled event at the Dirt Oval at Route 66.

The DIRTcar Summer Nationals will continue on Tuesday night at the Wilmot (Wis.) Speedway.
