Hoosier Hundred Postponed; Hulman Classic Rescheduled
Thursday night’s “Hoosier Hundred” at the Indiana State Fairgrounds has been postponed due to heavy rain.
Track Enterprises and USAC officials waited for the track to come around after continuous precipitation during the early morning hours saturated the Indy Mile racing surface. But the surface was unable to withstand the showers, giving officials no choice but to put a halt to tonight’s racing activities.
Track Enterprises and USAC are currently discussing a makeup date for the 63rd running of the “Hoosier Hundred” featuring the USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series presented by TRAXXAS. Stay tuned to http://www.usacracing.com/ and its social media networks for further announcements.
The “Week of Indy” continues Friday night, May 26, at Lucas Oil Raceway with the Silver Crown Series’ “Carb Night Classic.” The 100-lap event will be the first of two appearances by the Silver Crown cars at LOR in 2017.
Spectator gates for Friday night’s “Carb Night Classic” at Lucas Oil Raceway open at 2:45 pm, hot laps at 4 pm, ProSource Qualifying at 5:30, with racing set to begin at 6:30 pm.
Additionally, the postponed “Tony Hulman Classic” USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car event has been rescheduled for Friday, June 23 at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track.
