Corning, Iowa (May 28, 2006) -- Wet conditions Saturday night forced the postponement of the Dodge Dealers 50, a WORLD Dirt Racing League PolyDome Late Model Series event scheduled here at Adams County Speedway.

After nearly seven-tenths of an inch of rain hit the area Friday night, another band of showers moved through southwest Iowa around mid-morning Saturday, leaving conditions unfavorable for staging the annual Memorial Day weekend event.

According to WDRL founder and president Jim Wilson, Adams County Speedway officials are considering some possible reschedule dates.

"This race has always been a very popular one and both the race track and the WDRL want very much to find a reschedule date," he said. "It is unfortunate that things worked out the way they did as it was obvious we would have had an outstanding field of cars."

Added Wilson: "Adams County Speedway did everything possible to try to get the show in, but with that much rain in the past 24 hours, it became obvious they were facing an impossible task."

Wilson says an announcement on a reschedule date should be made within the next few weeks.
