Lake Cumberland Speedway’s LC Classic Tune-Up Rained Out
 
Burnside, KY- May 12, 2012- Lake Cumberland Speedway was set to present the Lake Cumberland Classic Tune-Up event on Saturday evening, but Mother Nature would have other ideas as rain showers moved over the 3/8 mile Pulaski County clay oval just as time trials were completed.
 
The rain showers were just enough to grease up the racing surface really bad and after a check of weather radar by track officials, it appeared more rain was on the way.  With the curfew in place at the track, along with the time it would have taken to get the race surface rolled back in and made safe for competition, the program faced the possibility of not being able to be completed, so the remainder of the event was cancelled for the evening.  A make-up date for this event will be announced on Sunday.
 
Prior to the rains moving into the area, Dustin Neat of Dunnville, KY had set quick time in the Super Late Model division at 12.916 seconds, while Tommy Bailey of Corbin, KY was the top qualifier in the Modified division at 14.424 seconds.
 
Up next at Lake Cumberland Speedway will be a full program of racing action on Saturday evening May 19 featuring Super Late Models, Modifieds, Super Dirt Stocks, Sportsman, and Front Wheel Drives all in competition.

Coca-Cola 40 at Lake Cumberland Speedway Postponed Due to Power Failure; Goes April 28
 
Burnside, KY-April 22, 2012- Mother Nature would delay the Coca-Cola 40 at Lake Cumberland Speedway by one day and the event was set to take place on Sunday evening at the 3/8 mile semi-banked clay oval, but a power failure of the lights on the frontchute of the racetrack caused the race program to be postponed.
 
All preliminary events were completed, however, all the track lights were functional except for those lights on the front straightaway of the track.  After track officials got an electrician to check out the problem, it was diagnosed that the repair could not be in a timely manner to complete the remainder of the racing program, thus, track officials were left with no other option but to cancel the remaining events for the evening.
 
The Coca-Cola 40 will now take place on Saturday evening April 28.  The event will be an entire new program, featuring a $3,000 to win main event for Super Late Models and a $1,000 to win main event for the Modifieds.  Also in competition will be Super Dirt Stocks, Sportsman, and Front Wheel Drives.  All general admission tickets and pit passes that were purchased on the April 22 date will honored this Saturday evening April 28.
