Imperial, PA (September 24, 2023) For Immediate Release

 

Mother Nature stole the show on Saturday night as rain from Tropical Storm Ophelia played havoic with the speedway grounds forcing a cancelation of the action scheduled for the final points race of 2023. Which meant that division points were final as of 9.16.23
