Rain
Washes Out Saturday's World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Pepsi Nationals'
At I-55 Raceway
PEVELY, MO - Sept. 19, 2009 - Saturday night's World of Outlaws Late Model
Series ‘Pepsi Nationals' at I-55 Raceway was washed out by rain.
A slow-moving band of precipitation reached the one-third-mile oval late
Saturday afternoon and radar indicated little chance of imminent clearing,
forcing I-55 Raceway co-promoters Ken Schrader and Ray Marler to pull the
plug on the track's 27th annual special event.
It was the 11th time that a WoO LMS event has been either canceled or
postponed during the rain-plagued 2009 season.
Track and series officials are discussing the possibility of a new date for
a WoO LMS visit to I-55 Raceway. For more information about rainchecks and
the status of the event visit

The WoO LMS will move on to La Salle (Ill.) Speedway on Sunday night (Sept.
20) to contest the 18th annual Best Western Illinois Fall Nationals. A
40-lap A-Main paying $7,000 to win will top the program.
