FREMONT, Ohio – Despite a valiant effort by the track crew at Fremont Speedway, track officials have been forced to cancel the Open Wheel Shootout scheduled for Saturday because of rain.

“We worked throughout the afternoon and evening Friday and got right back at it early Saturday morning but a constant mist and steady drizzle prevented us from making any head-way. It’s a darn shame because I think we would have had a fantastic all sprint car show,” said Ryan Schiets, Chair of the Fremont Speedway promotions team.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action May 18 on Kistler Engines Night with the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in Action.
