(Update)Stateline Speedway cancels weekend racing shows while trying to get insurance back in place...
There will be no racing tomorrow night and Saturday night at Stateline Speedway. However... the head of Short Track Management -- which operates Stateline -- says he is working to resolve the insurance issue that's forced the cancellation of this weekend's program. That was in the form of a communcation from Bill Catania, Junior to Media One Group this afternoon. Catania says he's working to get it insurance back in place for the rest of the season. The announcement comes in the wake of two touring series that were to be part of both Friday and Saturday programs cancelling out. The heads of both the Renegades of Dirt Modified Tour... and, Patriot Sprint Car series... announced on their websites yesterday that when the speedway couldn't provide proof of insurance... they would not run. In addition... the World of Outlaws Late Model Series announced in a press release that they have cancelled their show at Stateline Aug. 22.
