But that only delayed the racing at Bakersfield Speedway on Saturday night. A thundershower early into the program stopped racing for more than 90 minutes. Rain fell for more than 20 minutes and it took more than an hour to work the third-mile clay oval track back into racing shape after the rain quit. Hobby Stocks kicked [...]
