FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thursday, March 21, 2019

ATTICA, Ohio – Wet, cold weather has forced Attica Raceway Park officials to delay the 2019 season opener until Friday, March 29.

“We have rain off and on all day Thursday with a forecast of rain and snow Friday and highs only in the low 40s on Saturday. There just wasn’t enough drying time to get the races in this coming weekend.
