PLACERVILLE, CA (3-21-09) - A persistent storm front moving in from the gulf of Alaska has prompted Handy Racing Promotions to cancel tonight's opener of the 2009 Red Hawk Casino - Racing Season at Placerville Speedway featuring the Hoosier Tires Civil War Sprint Car Series. At this time an official make-up date for this lost event has not been announced.

The racing season will now open next Saturday, March 28th with the Golden State Challenge Sprint Car Series together with the Capitol City Midgets.
