Night One of Southern Nationals Series at Wythe Succumbs to Mother Nature

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Round one of the highly anticipated Southern Nationals Series schedule has been won by Mother Nature. The $3,500 to win show scheduled for tonight, July 12 at the Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia has been canceled due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled. The popular Southeastern mini-series will now kick-off their 2010 campaign on Tuesday night, July 13 at the Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina.

"It is unfortunate that we have to cancel tonight's event at Wythe," stated a dejected Ray Cook today. "The racetrack has received a lot of rain already and there is certainly more in the forecast. From all of the calls I was getting, it looked like the show was shaping up to be a good one, but Mother Nature did not cooperate."
