The World of Outlaws Late Model Series will take another shot at beating Mother Nature this season at K-C Raceway.
Series and track officials have announced that the Buckeye 100, which was washed out by rain last month, has been rescheduled for Aug. 21-22 at the three-eighths-mile oval in southern Ohio.
The two-day WoO LMS spectacular will begin with time trials and heat races on Fri., Aug. 21, and conclude with B-Mains and the $20,000-to-win Buckeye 100 on Sat., Aug. 22.
“We're thrilled that we've been able to work with K-C Raceway promoter Jeff Schrader to reschedule the Buckeye 100 on an open weekend on our schedule,” said WoO LMS director Tim Christman. “It was a big disappointment when we had to cancel the event (on May 1-2) because of heavy rain, so it's very exciting that the show will now go on.
“We've heard all about the exciting races that Jeff Schrader has been overseeing this year and we're looking forward to the opportunity to add more memorable moments to his first season at the helm of K-C Raceway.”
Anticipation was high for last month's Buckeye 100, a traditional event at the track during the ‘60s and into the ‘70s that was reincarnated as a major WoO LMS weekend. The event was last run in 1971 when the facility was known as Atomic Speedway.
The Buckeye 100 post-race ceremonies will feature the placing of a specially-designed winner's wreath on the shoulders of the big-money victor. The wreath includes Buckeye nuts (from the state tree), cardinals (state bird) and red carnations (state flower).
More details about the Buckeye 100 weekend, including support-division action and a time schedule, will be released in the near future.
