Buffalo, N.Y. – (September 7, 2017) – Due to inclement weather, the potential for hazardous travel conditions and an unfavorable and unstable continued forecast Race of Champions management has been forced to cancel tonight’s Race of Champions Dirt 602 Sportsman Modified Series event scheduled at Stateline Speedway in Busti, New York. Due to the unavailability of a workable reschedule date, the event will not be rescheduled during the 2017 season.
“With the impending forecast and the potential for hazardous storms and the uncertainty of being able to start and complete the event, we were left no choice,” stated Joe Skotnicki, Race of Champions. “Stateline Speedway management has been great to work with during this season and we have agreed to try again next season.”
Chad Chevalier of Port Colborne, Ontario will be declared the Series Champion and honored at the season ending Championship Celebration in January.
