ELBRIDGE, N. Y. – Monday, September 2, 2013 – Inclement weather forced postponement of Sunday’s Super DIRTcar Series race at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park. The Labor Day Classic Stars & Stripes 100 will continue Tuesday, Oct. 8, after the conclusion of NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week XLI “Early Bird” tech inspection at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse.
Fans who purchased tickets for Sunday’s Stars & Stripes 100 can redeem their ticket stubs for entry to the October race. Competitors and teammates who purchased pit entry at Sunday’s race will also be able to enter Tuesday, Oct. 8, at no charge.

Billy Decker, of Unadilla, N. Y., will start on the pole at lap 25 in the October continuation of Sunday’s race. Decker wrestled the lead from pole sitter Dave Rauscher in lap 8 before inclement weather at the track ended the race in lap 24. The remainder of the lineup will be based on positions as of lap 24, putting Dale Planck second, Brett Hearn third, Rauscher fourth and Billy Dunn fifth.

The DIRTcar Street Stock race ran to completion before weather hit, with Mike Welch making a trip to victory lane. Welch finished second to Joe Reeves in the only heat race for the division after a nasty wreck the race’s start took pole sitter Mike Cooper out of the race. Reeves claimed the lead off the restart, but Welch steered around him early in the race and outlasted two more cautions for the win.
Joining the Super DIRTcar Series Tuesday during NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week XLII will be the DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds.
