With an eye on the weather forecast, Track Manager Evan Bader announced that the final Edelbrock Super Series race of the year would offer one time trial rather than two on Aug. 17, 2024 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
It was a good call considering how important it was to see this event through completion as racers were vying for valuable points while wading through some incredibly tough competition.
Points positions will be finalized and champions will be announced soon.
