Track Schedules

Then the rain came.

Inclement weather arrived late in the evening, but early enough to wash out the 25-lap Modified main event, along with final qualifying races and the feature for the Northern SportMods.

The event will not be rescheduled.

Modified entries totaled 122, from eight states and Australia. John Logue of Boone, winner of the 2000 Clash, had drawn the pole while defending race winner Clayton Christensen of Spencer was to start fifth.

Northern SportMods, in just their third year on the Clash card, numbered 61. Brian Miller of Grand Junction and Max Harder of Blue Springs, Neb., had drawn front row starts for that feature.
