Hurricane Helene Postpones ASCS World Short Track Challenge at Riverside to Oct. 18-19

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — With the safety of traveling fans and teams in mind, officials from the ASCS, USCS and Riverside International Speedway have agreed to postpone this weekend’s World Short Track Challenge to Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18-19.

The decision was made with guidance from Precision Weather Service, who has been tracking Hurricane Helene and expects it to bring heavy, continuous rain and high winds to the Memphis area this weekend.

The American Sprint Car Series National Tour will return to action in two weeks at Benton Speedway on Friday, Oct. 11, and Paducah International Raceway on Saturday, Oct. 12.

Seth Bergman leads the championship standings with eight races remaining as he chases his first National Tour title. Sitting 111 points behind him is Sam Hafertepe Jr., who is aiming for his sixth Series championship.
