By Mike Leone
April 21, 2022 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Hartford, OH)…The 2022 season opener scheduled for this Saturday (April 23) featuring the ULMS Super Late Models at Sharon Speedway has been cancelled due to saturated grounds. The event will not be rescheduled. The 93rd anniversary season opener will now take place on Saturday, April 30 featuring the first of four appearances by the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars presented by Mobil 1.
"We're disappointed to have to cancel for Saturday but even with the warm weather predicted Mother Nature didn't leave us any choice," stated General Manager Dave Willoughby. "We were hopeful for some dry weather this week, but cold and wet conditions on Monday and Tuesday followed by more rain on Thursday sealed our fate. We pride ourselves in having a quality racing surface and that simply wasn't going to be possible after accessing the situation. In addition, the spectator parking areas are simply saturated. We wanted to make this announcement early to allow fans and racers the opportunity to make alternate plans."
In addition to the All Stars racing for $6,000 to-win next Saturday, the Whelen Econo Mods will also be on the card. Pits open at 3 p.m. with grandstands at 4. Racing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Reserved seats, advance general admission tickets, patio seats, VIP fan suites, and camping permits are on sale at https://sharonspeedway.simpletix.com
