Saturday night racing washed out again at Grandview
BECHTELSVILLE, PA » With nine Saturday nights of NASCAR stock car racing scheduled at Grandview Speedway so far this season and only four being presented it is clear that, at present, Ma Nature is winning the rainout battle.
Saturday night’s tripleheader card of NASCAR stock car racing featuring the T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds, Sportsman and Late Models fell victim to Ma Nature’s weather wrath for the fifth time this season. Track management and racers made every effort to get the races run but after more than one hour in delays the events were canceled.
