Jackson Motor Speedway has also announced that the Lucas Oil Late Model Series Event originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 12th-13th has been cancelled. JMS was unable to secure a primary sponsor for the event, and with a total purse in excess of $70,000, track owner and promoter, Don Cliburn, felt that it was best not to have the event.

“I really hated to cancel the Lucas Oil race, but to be 100% honest, it takes a lot of things to go right to make a show like this work, and with the current state of the economy and the absence of a major sponsor for the event, I felt that it was just too much of a risk,” commented Cliburn. “However, we do plan to have a big Super Late Model special event on Saturday, September 13th, and full details should be available in the next few weeks.”

Jackson Motor Speedway is also proud to announce that on August 23rd, they will be hosting the 1st Annual Jason Robbins Memorial UMP Open Wheel Modified race.
