\"EldoraRossburg, OH<\/strong> \u2014 Thunderstorms swept over Eldora Speedway after the completion of heat-race action on Saturday night, forcing officials to postpone the remainder of the DIRTcar Racing-sanctioned \u2018Dream XVI\u2019 event.<\/p>\n

The C-Main, B-Main and 100-lap DIRTcar Late Model feature paying $100,000 to win is tentatively set to be run on the weekend\u2019s advertised raindate of Sun., June 13, but a final decision will be made at 8 a.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the interest of safety for our fans and competitors, we had to postpone the remainder of tonight\u2019s program,\u201d said Eldora Speedway general manager Larry Boos. \u201cWe will decide in the morning whether the weather will allow us to go ahead as planned with racing on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boos said if conditions are suitable for racing on Sunday, the track\u2019s tentative plan is to clear the grounds at 10 a.m. and then immediately readmit all spectators. A time schedule for the day would be announced in the morning.<\/p>\n

Saturday night\u2019s six 15-lap heats were completed before the rain became too heavy for racing to continue. The heats beat the weather after an initial light burst of precipitation red-flagged the fifth heat with three laps left.<\/p>\n

Heat winners were Casey Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., Brandon Kinzer of Allen, Ky., Ray Cook of Brasstown, N.C., and Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark.<\/p>\n

Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., who was the fastest qualifier in Friday\u2019s 104-car time-trial session, moved up from the fifth starting spot in the first heat to finish third and transfer to the Dream XVI. He is scheduled to start 18th<\/sup> in the 100-lapper.<\/p>\n

NASCAR star\/Eldora owner Tony Stewart was unable to parlay his second-fastest time-trial lap into heat-race success, dropping out of the second prelim on lap three. He has the 19th<\/sup> starting spot in the Dream thanks to a fast-time provisional, but he won\u2019t be able to run the event if it is contested on Sunday afternoon due to his Sprint Cup commitment at Michigan International Speedway.<\/p>\n

The second fast-time provisional was claimed by Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning, Mich., who was eliminated from action after slapping the turn-two wall on the opening circuit of the third heat.<\/p>\n
