A dreadful weather forecast had Thompson Speedway officials making some early decisions Wednesday.
With most forecasts currently calling for a 100 percent chance of rain for most of the day in the Thompson area Wednesday, track management announced that they will postpone the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Budweiser 150 that was scheduled for Wednesday.
The race will now move to Thursday, with the same schedule planned.
The Whelen Modfied Tour event is part of a five-event race card at the track.

Thompson is charging $42 adult admission for the tour race. Why the increase over Stafford’s Friday tour race admission of $30? Both races are the same 150 laps. Thompson continues to lead as the most expensive races on the tour. By the way, Thursday nights $17,500 to win Mr. Dirt at Lebanon Valley is charging $18 adult admission. One of the reasons the modified tour will no longer exist in 5 years.
