Forecasted Rain, Thunderstorms Postpones McGee Hyundai Night at Thunder Road

With that forecast holding steady over the last several days, and with a touring series as part of Friday’s planned event, Thunder Road officials have made the difficult decision to postpone McGee Hyundai of Barre Night to Friday, September 6. There will be no racing on Friday, June 7 at Thunder Road.
