Story By: JEFFREY AHLUM / GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY – BECHTELSVILLE, PA – Well, it had to end sooner or later.
After suffering through a miserable month of April with four Saturday night races being rained out, Grandview Speedway was on a roll spinning off seven straight NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series race programs in a row, but rain and scattered storms returned Saturday (June 24) causing the cancellation of Saturday’s planned race program.
The race program was to feature the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman in a two-division show on 90’s night The 90’s night theme was a trip back in time historically for racers and fans, as well as a roll back of the grandstand admission to 1990’s pricing for the fans at just $10.
With the rain out of the June 24 program, the 90’s night promotion has been rescheduled to Saturday, July 22, which will again feature the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman plus the Outlaw Racing Series Vintage racers in action. We’ve added something to 90’s night. We are inviting any 1990’s era drivers to attend on July 22 and participate in an autograph session.
The next racing event will be the third Thunder on the Hill Racing Series program of the season with the annual visit of the Pa Posse 410 Sprint Cars running in the Pennsylvania Speedweek Series on Tuesday, June 27 starting at 7:30 pm.
The race program is always one of the most anticipated events of the year, and will be sponsored by HVAC Distributors Partners for Success. Tuesday night’s show will also include the 358 Modifieds, for another outstanding two-division race program.
Adult grandstand admission is $30, children ages 6-11 are $10, while kids ages 5 and under are admitted free of charge. Pit admission is $40, and a license is not required.
Next Saturday night will be another NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series double-header featuring the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman. The race program will consist of qualifying races for both divisions leading into the 30-lap T.P. Trailer Modified feature and 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman main event.
On Saturday, July 1 pit gates will open at 4 pm. with grandstand gates opening at 5:30 pm. warm-ups starting at 6:15 pm. and racing starting at 7:30 pm.
Adult grandstand admission is $20, students 10-15 with ID are $10, while children ages 9 and under are admitted free of charge. Pit admission is $35 for NASCAR members and $45 for non-members.
Saturday’s program will also be a special night for the younger fans, as there will be a kid’s money scramble. The kids will be divided into three age groups, and sent scrambling to pick up as many scattered coins as they can in a certain amount of time!
There will be a pre-race Meet and Greet with the guys from Low Down and Dirty on Saturday. The featured drivers will be on hand with their cars in the main gate area starting at 5 pm. This is a great time for fans to meet the drivers up close, collect some autographs, take photos, and talk racing with their favorite drivers.
