Precipitation And Forecast Forces Cancelation Of Senoia All Star Opener
All Star officials and the Senoia Raceway have cancelled the upcoming All Star Circuit of Champions event due to precipitation and forecasted weather.
With heavy precipitation already saturating Senoia Raceway, and an extended forecast predicating periods of off and on rain throughout the next five days, Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 and Senoia Raceway officials were left with no choice but to cancel the weekend’s two-day All Star Southern Swing opener scheduled for Friday and Saturday, February 3-4. The event will not be made up.
“We appreciate Senoia Raceway’s attempt in completing this weekend’s event, but with weather an obvious factor, canceling early is the right decision,” stated Jared Frood on behalf of the All Stars. “Ample drying time was going to be a factor and the track was quick to relay that to us. An early cancelation will save teams from travel expenses and we can begin to look ahead to Volusia.”
The All Star Circuit of Champions will now turn their attention ahead to DIRTcar Nationals competition at Volusia Speedway Park in DeLeon Springs, Florida, on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 7-8. The Classic Ink USA Southern Swing presented by Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts will then continue at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida, on Monday and Tuesday, February 13-14.
Although losing last year’s Volusia doubleheader due to Mother Nature, the All Star visit to East Bay produced two different winners with eventual Series champion, Tyler Courtney, scoring the victory on night one. Visalia, California’s Cory Eliason was the victor the following evening with Dylan Westbrook and Tyler Courtney in tow.
Despite not awarding points toward the overall All Star championship chase, all four of the upcoming programs at Volusia Speedway Park and East Bay Raceway Park will award $6,000 paydays.
