It was the third consecutive “Steel Valley Thunderâ€? rain out and sixth of the season. The rain outs have outnumbered completed “Steel Valley Thunderâ€? events six to four and there’s now been as many special events completed as weekly events.

The Penn-Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series event that was scheduled for Saturday has been rescheduled to next Saturday (July 29) featuring a $1,000 to-win event plus the $2,000 to-win “Apple Festival Nationals� make-up feature that has been rained out several times. The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds, HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds, and the Summit Racing Equipment Econo Mods will also be on the card on C&R Tire Night.

Pits open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5 and racing at 7. Grandstand admission is $10 for those 14 and over.
