By USAC PR (Indianapolis, IN) -- Thursday night's "Hoosier Hundred" at the Indiana State Fairgrounds has been postponed due to heavy rain.
Track Enterprises and USAC officials waited for the track to come around after continuous precipitation during the early morning hours saturated the Indy Mile racing surface. But the surface was unable to withstand the showers, giving officials no choice but to put a halt to tonight's racing activities.
Track Enterprises and USAC are currently discussing a makeup date for the 63rd running of the "Hoosier Hundred" featuring the USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series presented by TRAXXAS. Stay tuned to http://www.usacracing.com/ and its social media networks for further announcements.
