just to let everyone know up in that area poplar bluff Speedway due to heavy rains this weekend Is postponing the cotton bowl till next weekend on the 17th and 18th of oct.
 
Attention Everyone Please Read & Share. It has been a hard decision for the Poplar Bluff Speedway but do to the approaching weather an local weather man saying 3-5 inches of rain expected to fall here at the Speedway over the weekend we are going to reschedule to our rain dates which are Oct. 16th,17th & 18th. Please understand if this was a one day show we would be taking this to the wire to make it work but with 3 days of action scheduled & people traveling hundreds of miles we feel it will be a lot better for everyone involved to post pone for a week. Hopefully this gives everyone time to get things in order for next weekend. We appreciate all the support for the Cotton Boll an will see everyone next weekend.

The 14th Annual Cotton Boll is being rescheduled for Oct. 16,17,18 Due to approaching weather.
