A massive series of thunderstorms raced across the front range and eventually made their way to Dacono completely drenching the 3/8ths mile paved oval. The RMRLA cars had just begun qualifying when the rain began to fall and it turned into one of the most torrential rain storms that the track has faced in a long time. For the safety of the fans, drivers, and track staff the races were canceled.
Next week the action at CNS returns with the Late Models, Sportsman, Super Stocks, and Trains and the entire event is proudly presented by Hajek Chevrolet.
(Dacono, CO 06-30-2012) A world class fireworks display lit up the night sky sending "ooos" and "ahhhs" throughout the packed Colorado National Speedway grandstands.
