Decision on Spring Nationals coming Wednesday

BEATRICE, Neb. (March 16) – By mid-afternoon tomorrow, promoter Toby Kruse and his crew at Beatrice Speedway will know whether they’ll be getting the race track ready for their Spring Nationals special or if they’ll be spending the weekend watching college basketball on TV.

Headlined by the a pair of $1,500 to win features for the Modifieds, four IMCA divisions are scheduled to see action Friday and Saturday, March 19-20. With wet track conditions currently and an ever-changing forecast to consider, Kruse will make the decision to continue preparing for, or to cancel the event, at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

“We want to make sure we can provide a good track both days. We don’t want to have drivers towing to Beatrice from all over, then go home with damage caused by rough track conditions,” Kruse said. “We also have to consider the forecast and what effect it could have on our car count and grandstand attendance.”

“We’ll do everything possible to get Spring Nationals in,” he added. “This is one of the best early season specials around and we’d hate to have to cancel." 

Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Mach-1 Sport Compacts are also scheduled to run on Friday. SportMods and Hobby Stocks are on the Saturday card as well. Sunday remains the potential inclement weather date,
