Rain forces postponeme­nts at Grandview

- By Ernie Saxton

Ma Nature struck again at Grandview Speedway. Rain forced track management to postpone the Saturday schedule of racing to next Saturday, July 8th with one change.

The Sportsman stock cars will now run in two features on Saturday. One feature has been left from the June 24th rainout. The TP Trailers 358 Modifieds will now run two features on Saturday, July 15th as part of AD Moyer Lumber Night.

This Saturday fans will see, in addition to the two 25-lap Sportsman features, the Firecracke­r 40 for Late Models, the TP Trailers 358 Modifieds and Blast from the Past Vintage Cars. In addition Modified racer Kory Fleming will be doing his annual kid’s bicycle giveaway with two bikes for girls and two for boys.

Gates for spectators will open at 5:30 p.m. with racing set for a 7:30 p.m. start. Adult admission will be $20 while youngsters 6 thru 11 will pay $5. Children 5 and under will be admitted free.

Tuesday, July 4th the Thunder on the Hill Series will offer the Penna. 410 Sprint Speedweek action featuring the 410 sprints and 358 Modifieds. Racing starts at 7:30 p.m.

And on Saturday July 15th A.D. Moyer Lumber Night will feature the two 30-lap NASCAR TP Trailers 358 Modified features along with the Sportsman and BRC Late Models. Racing will start at 7:30 p.m.

Grandview Speedway continues to be one of the most successful NASCAR weekly short track operations in the nation having been presenting stock car racing events under the Rogers family promotion for the past 55 years. The season at Grandview continues from late March to November. The one-third-mile, banked clay track is located on Passmore Road, just off Route 100, in Bechtelsvi­lle, PA, 10 miles north of Pottstown. A full line of concession and novelty items is offered. Fans are invited to the pit area after the racing events have been completed and racing equipment loaded into the trailers. Race informatio­n is available at www.grandviews­peedway.com, Facebook, Twitter and at 610.754.7688. And it is a good idea to link up with Rainedout.com to get latest info on rainouts.
