Independence Falls Victim Again and Goes 0-4 in the Month of April

Independence, Iowa (April 30th, 2022) - Mother Nature wins again at the Independence Motor Speedway after late week rain washes away the season opener again. This was scheduled to be the fourth race of the season for the 3/8 mile but just like the previous three races : Frostbuster April 7th, season opener on April 16th and April 23rd, it fell victim to mother nature.

The night was scheduled to have IMCA sanctioned Late Models, Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks along with Sport Compacts, Indee Cars and Outlaw 2 Man Cruisers but too much over night rain fell leaving speedway officials no choice to cancel this week's races.

Independence Motor Speedway will now try to get the season started on Saturday May 7th. The Haulin' with Hoker Trucking Super Late Model Racing Series Late Models will make their first of 2 visits for a $3,000 to win show. Performance Bodies IMCA Modifieds, Dominator Chassis IMCA Stock Cars, Burco Sales IMCA Sport Mods, Albert Auto Service IMCA Hobby Stocks, Waterloo Auto Parts Indee Cars and Waterloo Auto Parts Sport Compacts. Pits Open at 3:30p, Grandstands Open at 4:30p, Hot Laps at 5:45p, Racing to Follow.
