Weekend Preview

Mother Nature doesn't appear interested in seeing a whole lot of racing this weekend, but hopefully the weather cooperates long enough to get plenty of racing in this weekend. I-88 Speedway and Utica Rome Speedway have already postponed their events that were schedule for this weekend, and New Egypt Speedway has decided that with the threat for Saturday night, they will run a non-points weekly show on Friday night.

Still, 19 races are scheduled for this weekend. Lernerville (this will be their third attempt), Accord, Brewerton, Canandaigua, Mahoning Valley, Lebanon Valley, Can Am, Five Mile Point, Thunder Mountain, Big Diamond, and Cayuga County are all scheduled to hold their first races of 2011 this weekend. Fonda Speedway, despite racing last weekend, will kick off their points season this weekend.

On top of the season openers, Canandaigua Speedway will hold the Jan Corcoran Memorial which will be 64 laps this weekend, Can Am will run 40 laps this weekend and will pay $2,000 to win, the Southern Tier Open kicks off the season at Five Mile Point Speedway with a 40 lap $2,500 to win show, and Big Diamond kicks off the season with a 35 lap-$3,000 to win show this weekend.
