Love’s Park, IL (April 19, 2009) – Sour weather conditions forced the hand of Rockford Speedway officials Sunday morning, causing the postponement of the 32nd Annual Spring Classic. The event is scheduled to be run next Sunday, April 26th.

Over 25 Mid-American Stock Car Series competitors were set to compete in the 50 lap season opening event, but will have to wait six days to kick of Mid-American’s 17th season.

The running of the event next Sunday will cause an intriguing two day swing for MASCS competitors.

On Saturday Mid-American competitors will head to the semi-banked half-mile oval of the Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids, IA for the “Return to Rapids.” The start time at Hawkeye is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Mid-American competitors will then begin frantically preparing their machine for a polar opposite venue, the high-banked quarter-mile at Rockford Speedway. The schedule for the 32nd Annual Spring Classic will follow the same format with qualifying beginning at 11:15 a.m. and racing at 1 p.m.

Hawkeye Downs Speedway is located at 4400 6th Street SW approximately a half-mile off Highway 151 in Cedar Rapids, IA. For more information please visit www.hawkeyedownsspeedway.com .

Rockford Speedway is located at 9572 Forest Hills Road seven miles north of downtown Rockford, just two miles west of Interstate 90 at the intersection of Forest Hills Road and Highway 173 in Loves Park, IL. For more information please visit www.rockfordspeedway.com .
