“This probably is a blessing in disguise, ” he continued. “Now the pressure is off as far as construction is concerned. Mike and his crew out there can now take their time and be meticulous as far as building a great facility. They also have time to build and promote a strong bracket program and work out a definite, effective schedule for the 2008 racing season. We look forward to a promising future at Mansfield Motorsports Park. ”
There will be no replacement date on the 2007 schedule, meaning there will be 11 Knoll-Gas Nitro Jam™ events this season.
