Rain condenses Lake Ozark weekend
After overnight rains and forecasts for more, track and series officials have condensed the two-day Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association event at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo., to a single-day event on Saturday.
The Battle at the Beach event will now pay $7,000-to-win for Saturday's action (the weekend was originally set for a $3,000-to-win event Friday and $5,000-to-win event Saturday). Saturday gate times and ticket prices remain the same.
