It's not called Mud Week for a reason.
Wednesday practice at the New York State Fairgrounds for Super Dirt Week XXXVIII was canceled due to inclement weather. Constant rain throughout the morning and afternoon put the mile-long track in unsuitable conditions for dirt car racers. Practice was canceled because dirt car driving would do nothing to help the already sloppy condition of the track.
26-year-old driver Jeff Brownell, Jr. spent most of his day in his trailer and under a tent with his crew members and team owner Jeff Brownell, Sr. Brownell, Jr. was succinct in his thoughts about the weather, saying "it sucks. Can't race in the rain." Brownell and the crew still showed their enthusiasm for the upcoming Rite Aid 200. Crew member Jeff McMillan compared it to NASCAR's biggest race, saying "it's like the Daytona 500, except it's at the end of the year." Brownell says this race means the most to him of any on the Super DirtCar series. He is from Waterloo, New York, and will have family including his nine-year-old daughter Abigail in the stands on Sunday.
The season-ending race is scheduled to start at 2:00 PM on Sunday. The winner will take home a first-place check of $50,000.
