Mother Nature Dominates Again; Strunk and Williamson Claim Big Wins

I hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend. Mother Nature was rough to the Saturday night tracks, as Sharon and Merrittville were the only tracks scheduled to race on Saturday that got their races in. The rest of the events were called off due to rain (master schedule lists what events were cancelled and what were postponed). On Friday night, Lernerville Speedway was the only track to fall victim to rain, as they've lost 4 shows thus far in 5 attempts in 2011. Here are the top 5 finishers from the tracks that did run this past weekend...
