May 5, 2001; Seymour, WI - The recent heavy rains, over 3 inched in the past three days, forced N.E.W. DIRT officials to postpone their 2001 season opener, scheduled for this Sunday May 6, at the Seymour Tri Oval Raceway The opener will be moved back one week, to May 13. Crews have worked endlessly for the past two weeks to wrestle the new clay into shape. Everything was set until the rains soaked everything again.
