Rain Forces Postponement Of Mohawk International Raceway’s ‘Battle At Eastern Door’ To Wed., Sept. 1

AKWESASNE, NY - Aug. 21, 2010 - Heavy rain swept over Mohawk International Raceway just as Saturday night’s racing program was beginning, forcing the postponement of the 100-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Battle At Eastern Door’ to Wed., Sept. 1.

The MIR track crew was able to get the four-tenths-mile oval’s surface ready for action following a late-afternoon shower, but more precipitation arrived moments after the completion of hot laps for the competitors in Saturday evening’s B-Main. With the speedway saturated and forecasts calling for little pause in the rain for more than 24 hours, MIR and WoO LMS officials decided to reschedule the $20,000-to-win event for Sept. 1 as a grand lead-in to the national tour’s Labor Day holiday weekend doubleheader on Sept. 4-5 at Tri-City Speedway in Franklin, Pa.

A B-Main and the 100-lap ‘Battle At Eastern Door’ will be contested on the mid-week date, which will also include a 50-lap Hoosier Tire-VP Racing Fuels Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Championship Series event.

Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., Rick Eckert of York, Pa., and Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., were heat winners during Friday night’s qualifying program.

The WoO LMS will look for clear skies on Monday evening (Aug. 23) when it heads across the border for a 50-lap, $10,000-to-win show at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Que. The tour’s Northeast swing concludes on Tuesday night (Aug. 24) with a visit to Brewerton (N.Y.) Speedway for the second annual ‘Dirt Demon 50.’
