- The High Limit Sprint Car Series scheduled for Monday night at East Bay Raceway Park was postponed due to
rain after the completion of heats. As a result, the series will run a doubleheader today. The remainder of Monday's schedule, including the mains, will be completed starting at 4 p.m. ET today. Coverage will still be live on FLORacing. It will not be a single admission day as
the grandstands will be cleared after Monday's card is completed. Anyone with tickets for Monday's card will need additional tickets for tonight's action to watch it at the track. |
