Thursday’s practice for the seventh annual Hoker Trucking Thaw Brawl has been cancelled to preserve the track surface, but it’s all systems go for the March 30-31 Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association event at La Salle (Ill.) Speedway.

Pit gates open at 1 p.m. Friday with grandstands opening at 2 p.m. and hot laps at 6:30; gates open at the same times Saturday with hot laps moved up one hour to 5 p.m.
