Davenport, Iowa (July 3, 2006) - The WORLD Dirt Racing League PolyDome Late Model Series event scheduled for Friday evening here at Davenport Speedway was canceled because of rain.

A band of heavy showers moved through the Davenport area around 5:30 p.m. Friday, making it impossible to prepare the fabled Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds speed plant for the scheduled finale of a three-night Independence Day holiday weekend series swing.

Series officials weighed the amount of time that would have been required to prepare the race track following the showers against the city-imposed noise curfew on the race track before making the final decision to cancel the event.

It is not known at this time whether the event will be rescheduled.
