Georgetown Postponed; Bridgeport Cancelled

Georgetown Speedway has postponed their racing for tonight, and isntead will run next Saturday. That race will now be called the Turkey Chase, because Bridgeport Speedway, which is owned by Jay James who is trying to buy Georgetown Speedway, has cancelled their event because of the Georgetown rain out.

I can understand where Mr. James is coming from by choosing to run Georgetown that weekend instead of Bridgeport. Georgetown's two races have been packed as fans attend the track in an attempt to revive the big 1/2 mile, however, it is very disappointing to the fans and Bridgeport's faithful drivers. We'll have to see how this one turns out. I, for one, was without a doubt going to Bridgeport and was going to be meeting up with quite a few friends from New York that were planning on attending Bridgeport for the first time, now, they will call 2008 a season, and I'm still uncertain if I'll go to Georgetown or not. We'll have to see how this one plays out.
