The 14th Annual NMCA Muscle Car Nationals scheduled for June 18-21 at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis has just been cancelled due to extreme weather in the area. An already difficult forecast has been made dramatically worse by Tropical Storm Bill, which is forecasted to cause heavy rain in Indianapolis on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The track conditions of the already drenched Lucas Oil Raceway are certain to become much worse with the arrival of the approaching storm.

The event will not be rescheduled, however, the 9th Annual Chevrolet Performance Shootout will now be held at the NMCA World Street Finals event in Norwalk, OH onAugust 27-30. The remaining rounds of competition from the rain-delayed Kentucky event will be completed at the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl event in Joliet, IL on July 30 – August 2.
