Story By: JEFFREY AHLUM / GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY – BECHTELSVILLE, PA – With significant overnight rain throughout the region, and more rain predicted on and off for the remainder of the day, Grandview Speedway management was left with the difficult decision to cancel the scheduled race events for Saturday night April 26.
The race program was to be the second NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series point race of the season for the T.P. Trailer Modified and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman division drivers in the chase for the championships.
With the rain out, it was the third rain cancellation in the first four weeks of the brand new 2025 racing campaign, after rain also claimed the events on April 5 and 12.
Attention will now turn to next week on Saturday, May 3, when racing will be sponsored by PWD Lubricants of Warminster, Pa. and will feature the first three-division show of the year, as the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman will be joined by the Pro 4 Racing Series Four Cylinder Stock Cars starting at 6:30 pm.
