For news, Park Jefferson's annual Charlie Clark Memorial has been tweaked just slightly because of the weather that is expected to come up.

D

1:51

So they have moved practice to Friday and racing will start at 3.30 on Saturday and 3.30 on Sunday.

D

2:02

So it's now going to be a Saturday-Sunday racing show.

D

2:05

Yeah! They've had to be a little bit flexible with their schedule the last couple of shows, but I think they've done a good job rolling with the punches.

Dirk HustonHost

2:13

Yeah.

Dirk HustonHost

2:16

The news stories we have have been big, but they've kind of been few.

Dirk HustonHost

2:21

Not necessarily far between, but we just haven't had a lot of different stuff to talk about.

Dirk HustonHost

2:25

So being able to adapt to one or two stories has been fairly easy for us.

D

2:31

I was talking to Park Jeffs about their schedule.

Dirk HustonHost

2:33

Oh, their schedule.

Dirk HustonHost

2:33

It's been tough to keep track of that, too.

D

2:37

It's like I'm at the booth at Eagle or I-80.

D

2:39

Yeah.

D

2:41

People hear me talking, they just don't listen.

D

2:44

I'm just giving you a hard time.

D

2:46

So due to the schedule change and the cooler temperatures, Park Jeff did reduce the modified purse from $5,022 to win to $3,000 to win.

D

2:55

The $3,022 to win will occur on Sunday now, and Friday's portion will be ran on Saturday.

D

3:08

Sunday's payout will be ran on Sunday.

D

3:10

Or Saturday's portion will be ran on Sunday.

D

3:12

So they just moved the schedule.

D

3:13

I think it was supposed to be a Friday-Saturday show.

D

3:16

Now it's going to be a Friday practice, Saturday-Sunday show.
