PERU, IN.- Mother nature came calling again Saturday night, shutting down another Saturday night of micro sprint racing action at Miami County Speedway. Racing began an hour earlier, in an effort to make up two features (Non Wing and Senior) from the June 11th rain out.

After hot laps, the two make up features were run. Logansport, IN. native Dennis Corcoran (Pictured Left) held off a hard charging Rob Johnson to win Saturday's Senior A-Main feature make up race. Kokomo, IN. native Bob Baker raced his way through the field, to finish third.

Warsaw, IN. racer Stuart Hanft (Pictured Right) won the 20 lap Non Wing make up feature. Taking a strong second place finish was Peru, IN. native Brandon Rose, while third belonged to Kendallville, IN. racer Ben Taylor.

Following Saturday's heat races, a severe lightning storm light up the sky, forcing Miami County Speedway to shut down the racing early on Saturday night.

More micro sprint racing action resumes this Saturday night at the Miami County Speedway. As was the case last Saturday, Miami County Speedway will begin one hour early, in order to make up the Wing Class A-Main from the June 23rd that had to be rescheduled, due to curfew. MCS will also run it's regular five class program. The gates will open at 2:00 PM, with the draw closing at 4:15 PM. After the driver's meeting, the racers will begin their hot lap sessions.

Come take part in another exciting night of micro sprint action at Miami County Speedway. I'll see you there!
