Columbus, Ohio (Saturday, June 27, 2015): The ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS was schedule to compete at Columbus Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 27th in the Bud St. Amant Memorial 125. Unfortunately Mother Nature had other ideas as misty and persistent showers plagued the event from the late afternoon hours until the early evening with no let up in sight. This forced Champion Racing Association (CRA) Powered by JEGS and Track Officials to Cancel the event. No suitable makeup date could be found so the race will not be rescheduled. 23 cars were on the property.
The next event on the 2015 schedule for the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS also serves as round #2 of the JEGS/CRA $100,000 Super Late Model Triple Crown Series.
