The weather forecast through the week for Saturday kept getting worse and worse, and by 6:00 Saturday night, the rain was too much to overcome as the season opener at the Knoxville Raceway was rained out without ever turning a single wheel. Many of the teams were hesitant of even entering the pits knowing heavy rain was on the way, fearing their haulers would get stuck. The raceway will try to open the season this Saturday with the same weekly program.
