Weather questions: USRA officials addressed the weather forecast, calling for chances to rain later in the week.If weather prevents racing one night — Thursday, for example — they will run a double show on another day.
"Our first option would be to double up on Saturday, if necessary. We will adjust the schedule however we need to throughout the weekend, and Sunday is our final alternative if that's what it takes to complete the USRA Nationals."
"Obviously, the goal for USRA and Lucas Oil Speedway is for everything to go off exactly as scheduled. But if Mother Nature throws us a curveball, we'll adjust and keep racing."
Keep an eye on the Lucas Oil Speedway, USRA and USRA Nationals Facebook pages throughout the week for the latest information and any schedule updates.
