No makeup date was immediately announced for the 40-lap, $6,000-to-win race.<\/p>\n
The rainout was the sixth of the 2008 UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals. A seventh event, on June 21 at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo., was canceled because the access road to the track was blocked by floodwaters.<\/p>\n
Two points events remain on the month-long tour \u2013 on Friday night (July 11) at Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway and Saturday night (July 12) at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio. Both races will pay $10,000 to win.<\/p>\n
Defending Summer Nationals champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, Ill., leads the points standings by a slim 19-point margin (1,378-1,359) over Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill.<\/p>\n
