LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. — The World of Outlaws Late Model Series event scheduled for this Saturday night (May 17) at Lawrenceburg Speedway has been postponed indefinitely, track and series officials have announced. The decision was made because a major off-season reconstruction project to enlarge the eastern Indiana track from a quarter-mile oval to a high-banked, three-eighths-mile layout is still in its final stages. “We’re certainly disappointed that this Saturday night’s show had to be called off,” said WoO LMS director Tim Christman. “We saw last year when we raced on the quarter-mile for the first time that Lawrenceburg Speedway is one of the top short-track facilities in the country, so we were very excited to come back to an even bigger and better track. “But we fully understand the situation. There’s still some work left to do to finish the job, and (Lawrenceburg promoter) Dave Rudisill and his staff don’t want to run a national event at a facility that isn’t 100 percent ready to go because that wouldn’t be fair to the teams or the fans.” The huge Lawrenceburg Speedway construction project began last November, shortly after the 2007 season ended. Financed to the tune of $3.5 million by the City of Lawrenceburg, the work promises to enhance the oval’s reputation as a dirt-track showplace.
