Mother Nature was not on the side of race fans over the weekend, as rain caused headaches, delays and cancellations for several race tracks and events around the region on Saturday.
Georgia’s Senoia Raceway was slated to play host to the Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series for the 20th annual Mike Head, Jr. Memorial. But the wet weather won out, causing officials to postpone the event after a band of showers moved over the speedway.
A rescheduled date is expected to be announced later this week. Visit SASDirt.com or SenoiaRaceway.com for more information.
