FORT DODGE, Iowa – Heavy rains earlier in the day have forced officials to postpone Tuesday night's USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour event at the Mineral City Speedway in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

The $2,000-to-win Fort Dodge Modified Nationals will now take place on Monday, Aug. 3, and will remain a Central States Region race.

Up next is the long-awaited debut of the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour at Joe Ringsdorf's I-35 Speedway in Mason City, Iowa, this Wednesday, June 24.

The inaugural event presented by C & W Used Cars and Ray’s Body Shop will see gates opening at 5:00, with hot laps at 7:00 and racing at 7:30. Also on the racing card will be Midwest 305 Sprint Cars.

The I-35 Speedway is a 1/2-mile semi-banked clay oval located off of I-35 at Exit 194, then 5.1 miles east on SR 122 (at the North Iowa Fairgrounds). For more information, call the track hotline at 641-424-6515 or visit www.i-35speedway.com online.
