Rain Keeps Dirt Week Racers off the Track


Rain prevented dirt car drivers from getting on the track Wednesday for Super Dirt Week XXXVIII at the New York State Fairgrounds. Competitors for Sunday's mile-long Rite Aid 200 were limited to their trailers while a series of storms swept through Central New York.

Driver Jeff Brownell, Jr., an automatic qualifier for the Rite Aid 200, drove from Waterloo, N.Y. with his team for a fifth straight year for a chance at the $50,000 prize.

"This is the Indy 500 of dirt car racing," Brownell said.

The Rite Aid 200 is scheduled to start Sunday at 2:15 p.m..


*Update: Brownell finished 39th in Sunday's race. Click here for a complete list of race results.
