Independence Motor Speedway car show and practice rescheduled for April 14

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (April 4) - Excessive rainfall and freezing temperatures have forced officials at Independence Motor Speedway to postpone the annual car show and practice session. Originally scheduled for this Saturday, both events are now planned for Saturday, April 14.

The annual car show will be held in the parking lots of Independence Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge and Pinicon Ford on 1st Street in Independence. Registration for the annual event will begin at 8 a.m. followed by the show from 9-12 noon.

Following the car show, a pre-season practice session will be held at Independence Motor Speedway. Gates will open at 1 p.m. with practice scheduled for 2-5. Pit passes will be $10 each. Drivers who display their cars at the car show will be given a free pit pass for the test-and-tune. There will be no charge to enter the grandstands and coolers are welcome.
