CANEY — The USMTS (United States Modified Touring Series) Casey’s General Stores National Tour has cancelled its running of races at the Caney Valley Speedway for Friday night, March 13.

“After conferring with the USMTS and looking at our weather forecasts, it was best to cancel the races for now,” said Kerry Gorby, Caney Valley Speedway manager and promoter. “We’ll try our best to get the national tour to make an appearance in Caney later in the year.”

Two NASCAR veterans — Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace — were scheduled to appear at Friday’s races at the Caney Valley Speedway.
