Wet Grounds Lead to Cancellation at SIS and Some Stats from the First 3 Point Nights at SIS as well

Mother Nature won Wednesday Night at the Southern Iowa Speedway for the first time this year. The plan was to go racing and the track was in great shape and ready to go but the pits weren't drying out fast enough so it forced speedway officials to cancel the racing program for this week.

Next Wednesday Night will now be KISS 101.5 FM of Ottumwa Night at the Races. Any adult resident of Sigourney or Montezuma can get in for just $5 in the grandstands. Pits Open at 5 pm, Grandstands at 6 pm and Hot Laps at 7 pm. There will also be Kids rides at 7:15 pm with racing to follow. Free t-shirts will be given away to the fans along with a funny thing for the fans to watch and don't forget about the speedway having a Happy hour before hot laps.

The Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds will pay a $100 minimum if they run the feature and any new drivers in sport compacts, stock cars, sport mods, and hobby stocks they will get in the gate for the low price of $10 doesn't count the frostbuster so if you haven't been there since the frostbuster you can get in for just $10.

Lets take a look at the top 10 in points in each class and top 10 feature results from the first 3 points nights:
