WATERTOWN — For the second in three weeks, Mother Nature wiped out the weekly racing program at Casino Speedway.
Rain showers early on May 31 led the cancellation of the Sunday evening racing program at the local speedway.
Track officials will try again on Sunday, June 7 with the Structural Buildings WISSOTA Late Model Challenge Series scheduled to be part of the 14th Marilyn Olson Memorial.
The purse for the late model feature winner is $3,000.
The racing program, which is scheduled to start at 6 p.m., will also include Midwest modifieds, Gen X late models and street stocks.
Highlights from other area stock car racing events from the past week include:
HURON — Trevor Nelson of Warner won his super stock feature in four tries at Dakota State Fair Speedway on Saturday, May 30.
