US-36/EAGLE WEEKEND WASHED OUT, SEASON OPENER SET FOR SPRINGFIELD
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. (March 28, 2019) – The 2019 POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League season-opening doubleheader has been washed out, cancelling both the Friday, March 29 show at US-36 (Osborn, Mo.) Raceway and the Saturday, March 30 event at Eagle (Eagle, Neb.) Raceway.
Due to recent levels of historic, widespread flooding, officials at Eagle made the call to cancel Saturday’s show as early as Monday. US-36 officials followed on Wednesday evening with the decision to scrap Friday’s race due to expected incoming rain.
The 2019 POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League season opener now transitions to Springfield (Springfield, Mo.) Raceway on Saturday, April 13. A staple on the schedule since 2013, Springfield has previously contested 10 WAR Sprint League races over the past six years. Korey Weyant (Aug. ’16 / July ’17) and Casey Shuman (Oct. ’13 / Aug. ’15) are the only two-time WAR winners at Springfield, while Wesley Smith is the most recent victory, scoring his first-career WAR victory last April at the Missouri quarter-mile.
