Dan Lewis Photo - danlewisphoto.net(Luxemburg, WI - August 28, 2009) - Persistent showers arrived late into the heat races, forcing officials to cancel the race program Friday night at the Luxemburg Speedway in Luxemburg.

Luck ran out on the Speedway as the IMCA Northern Sport Mods took to the track for their third heat. Rain intensified at that point, and the track was lost.

With no points awarded due to the rain out, the standings will stay as they are heading into Championship night this Friday.

The closest contest is for the title in the IMCA Northern Sport Mods where Travis VanStraten leads Eric Arneson by a single point. Eugene Gregorich (-14), Johnny Whitman (-19) and Tracy Wassenberg (-23) are all still mathematically alive in the chase.

Dan Lewis Photo - danlewisphoto.netIn the IMCA Modifieds, Brian Mullen will carry his ten point advantage over Jared Siefert into the final night. Shawn Kilgore is 15 back, with Benji LaCrosse 24 points behind the leader.

Jesse Colwell holds a solid 23 point margin on Troy Muench in the IMCA Stock Cars, with his brother Jamie 30 back.

Chad Kaminski is in command of the IMCA Hobby Stocks, with a 32 point bulge over Marcus Moede.

Jeff Behm trails Jason Cornelius by 24 in the battle for the Sport 4 crown, with Ralph Liegeois, Jr 26 back.

Tri-County Heating will sponsor the show Friday night, which will also include the Walter Christensen Memorial Dash, a special race for the IMCA Stock Cars boasting a possible winner’s take of $480.

The first green flag will fly at 7:00pm. For more information, visit the track’s website; www.luxemburgspeedway.com.
