VERNON, NY – All-day, steady rain in Central New York prompted the cancellation of Friday night’s program at Utica-Rome Speedway.

The RUSH Late Models will run 20 laps for $1,000 to win and $100 to start.

On the inner oval, the Senior Services Inc. Slingshots and D&S Landscaping Junior Slingshots will be in competition.
