Hartford, OH…The FASTRAK Northeast Late Model Touring Series joined up with the World of Outlaw Late Models on Wednesday night at Sharon Speedway for race #11 of 20 on the 2010 slate.  Despite a 70% chance of thunderstorms and a midweek show, an excellent field of 39 cars turned out; however, just as qualifying for the World of Outlaws finished up thunderstorms rolled through Hartford, Ohio.  

Heavy rains deluged the facility and after a waiting for some 30 minutes, the decision was made to postpone the event to Thursday night (July 29).  Thursday will be a complete new show with all cars redrawing for starting positions.  All Northeast Touring Series member drivers will receive 10 show-up points for Wednesday night in addition to Thursday’s points paying event.

Pits will again open at 3 p.m.  A drivers meeting will be held at 6:10.  Hot laps will get underway at 6:30 followed by World of Outlaw Late Model time trials at 7 and racing to immediately follow.  Drivers will draw pills for heat race line-ups with B main last chance races to determine the line-up for the 25-lap $1,200 to-win event.  If 30 or more cars are again present, the “Wheelman” Bonus Event Challenge Series non-qualifiers race will be run.
