ASCS Patriots Rained Out at Humberstone,

Rescheduled For September 14

to Complete Massive Weekend

Rich Vleck, PORT COLBORNE, Ontario (August 24, 2008)- A massive downpour moved in on Sunday to eliminate any chance of running the ASCS Patriot event at Humberstone Speedway.  The new date for this event has been determined and is ready to cap off an already highly anticipated weekend.

The Patriots will run for the third time in their history at the 1/3-mile facility on Sunday, September 14.  The race will count fully towards the championship and only intensify what is already a feverish month of September.

To start the weekend, most of the ASCS Patriot teams will be running just an hour down the road at the Ohsweken Speedway for the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals.  The $8,000-to-win event is sure to bring the top cars to Southern Ontario, and before they leave they will have the chance to test out Humberstone.

Humberstone is literally on the road home from Ohsweken, meaning every one of the familiar Patriot teams will not have to go a single mile out of the way the day after the largest paying event of the season.

A solid car count was expected from this past Sunday, but the count expects to increase with more competitors from New York and areas east traveling in to the region.  Since no events were run, the race will be open to any and all competitors.

Racing will start at 6:30, meaning that if the 1:00 p.m. Sunday rain date were required at Ohsweken, the ability to run both shows would still be doable.  Talk is also for a discount for any Canadian Nationals ticket holders for a discount towards the Humberstone event.
