Petty, Texas (April 25, 2023) - The accumulation of precipitation, with more rain in the forecast leading into race day, has forced cancellation of the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship / ASCS Elite Non-Wing Sprint Car Series event at Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, Texas scheduled for Thursday night, April 27.
