Racing has been canceled for the today.
Sun, 14 Sep 2014, 15:34 PM Gaines Walks Away, Rain Halts Racing By Larry Sullivan CONCORD, N.C. - Pro Stock racer V.Gaines was uninjured in a high-speed racing incident during the first round of eliminations. Gaines' Dodge Dart went out of control and crashed near the finish line. Gaines, who exited the car under his own power, was examined and released at the scene by NHRA emergency services officials. "It happened so fast, I was unable to catch it," Gaines said. "I'm justy sick that we ruined a very good race car. We'll come back and rebound." Around 3 p.m., about an hour into the cleanup and investigation following V. Gaines' accident, rain began falling. The rest of today's racing has been postponed. Details will follow. |

Now they have a mell of a hess; running Pros to completion at Ennis and all the sportsman race completions TBD. Going to be a lot of second guessing on this one. Those still in probably have a unplanned long tow in their future.

Very Sad To See They Were Sending More Pairs Of Pro/S Cars Down The Track
After They Saw The MPH's On Some Of The Previous Runs, Like Jeg For Example. Of Course The Other Drivers Should've Said "NO GO" On A Poor Racing Surface.
