Mother Nature brought both rain and cold temperatures to Spokane County Raceway that forced track and NHRA officials to postpone eliminations for this past weekend’s NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event.  

The event will be completed on Thursday, August 18, at the upcoming Northwest Division LucasOil Series event at Pacific Raceways.  The Pacific Raceways event will begin on Friday and run as scheduled.
