Stafford Motor Speedway has cancelled its May 4
Opening Night racing program due to the forecast of showers and
thunderstorms that are supposed to last throughout the day and into the
evening. Stafford Speedway will return to racing next Friday night, May
11th with the Late Model Xtra Mart Xtra D event. The Late Model division
will run an extra distance feature event of 40-laps while Stafford’s other
four NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions will race their normal
feature distances. Pit gates will open at 3pm, practice begins at 4:00pm,
grandstand gates will open at 5:15pm, heat races will start at 6:15pm, and
feature events will begin at approximately 7:15pm.
“With how our forecast was shaping up for tomorrow night, we wanted to call
the event early to save our teams and our fans the trouble of packing up
tonight and traveling tomorrow,” said SMS COO/GM Mark Arute.
Tickets for the Late Model XtraMart Xtra D event are now on sale at the
Stafford Motor Speedway Box Office. Tickets are priced at $17.50 for adult
general admission tickets, $5.00 for children ages 6-14, free for children
ages 5 & under, and $20.00 for reserved seats.
