MLRA: The Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association has cancelled its May 17 event at Midway Speedway in Lebanon, Mo., shifting the night’s tour event to Benton (Mo.)

Empire Speedway, formerly known as St. Francois County Raceway.
Xtreme: The California-based Xtreme Late Model Series has added a May 25 event at Antioch Speedway with the Larry Damitz Memorial. The series also announced its originally scheduled May 26 event at Stockton, Calif., was cancelled.
SAS: The Coltman Farms Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series cancelled its two weekend doubleheaders at Pine Ridge Speedway after being unable to come to an agreement with current promoters of the Guntown, Miss., oval. Clanton, Ala.'s Buckshot Speedway has stepped up to fill the June 1 date and will host the $5,000-to-win third annual Buckshot 40; the Sept. 13-14 weekend remains unfulfilled.
SBLMS: With Jackson County Speedway in Jackson, Ohio, undergoing improvements that have delayed its reopening, May 3's Steel Block Late Model Series event has been postponed; no makeup date was immediately announced.
