Afternoon rain and saturated track forces cancellation of Friday portion of the Jim & Joanne Ford Classic at Fremont Speedway

FREMONT, Ohio (October 8, 2021) – Fremont Speedway track workers put together a hard-fought effort to recover after an early afternoon rain shower soaked an already saturated racing surface. Unfortunately, the amount of moisture received was too much to overcome.

In response, FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 and Fremont officials have decided to cancel Friday’s segment of the Jim & Joanne Ford Classic; the event will not be rescheduled.

Jim & Joanne Ford Classic weekend will officially open tomorrow evening, Saturday, October 9, with a 40-lap, $10,000-to-win feature. Pit gates are slated to open at 3:30 p.m. with the All Star driver’s meeting to follow at 5:15 p.m. Hot laps will hit the speedway at 5:45 p.m.
