SOME CAROLINA DRIVERS SKIPPING CONCORD SUNDAY; RACING KENTUCKY

After the races concluded at CMS Friday, some drivers and teams packed up and left immediately for Kentucky. Who will race where Sunday is a good question.

RAIN PUSHES ANDERSON MOTOR SPEEDWAY RACE TO SUNDAY
The remnants of Tropical Storm Barry are bringing much-needed rain to the dry Southeast this weekend, but they also have forced the postponement of the PASS-sanctioned “South Carolina Clash” races at Anderson Motor Speedway (SC) until Sunday, June 3rd.
Pit gates will open at 12 noon and the full card of main events, including heats, the 125-lap “South Carolina Clash” PASS South, and Anderson’s local Mini Stock and Legends Car divisions will follow beginning at 2pm.
Fans who purchased tickets for Saturday’s event should hold on to their ticket stub and that will allow them admission to the rescheduled “South Carolina Clash” event on Sunday.
COASTAL PLAINS CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN
Coastal Plains Raceway Park cancelled their racing program due to rain. Legends will return to the track with the UARA-Stars on June 16th.
ANDERSON MOTOR SPEEDWAY READY FOR LEGENDS ACTION
Legends drivers in the Western Carolinas have one place to race on Saturday, and that is at Anderson Motor Speedway in South Carolina. 11 Legends showed up for the Friday practice, and more are welcome to join the racing action at the 3/8-mile ashpalt oval. The 20-lap feature starts after 6:00 PM, so drivers have plenty of time to get to the track and race.

ANDERSON MOTOR SPEEDWAY - Legends Racing Results
The Legends portion of the South Carolina Clash in Anderson (SC) has concluded. Wesley Thompson won the combined division race giving him the Pro division win as well. John Gallman was second on the track, getting the Semi Pro win with Jerry Rector finishing third, taking the Masters division victory.
CONCORD CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN
It looked decent for racing at Concord Motorsport Park today as rain looked to move out of the area. But a few hours before the gates opened, it started to sprinkle again in Concord, forcing officials to cancel today's racing action for the Legends and Bandoleros.
Today's race was to be a make up race for the rained out May 4th events. At this time, the track has not announced a new make up date for this event.
UPDATE FROM ANDERSON
Speed51.com's Trackside Now is reporting a bright and sunny day this morning for the "South Carolina Clash" PASS-sanctioned events at Anderson Motor Speedway (SC). Included in the events is the Legends race, which is always exciting at AMS. With rain still lingering in the Concord Motorsport Park area, Anderson might be the only place for Legends to race today.
