The 2022 season at Evergreen Raceway is just about ready to turn the heat up a notch, just like Northeastern Pennsylvania weather. Evergreen Raceway will present $5 Famoly Fun Night this Friday, August 5th. Neil Rutt III and Brian Rygielski took the first two events. But Paulie Hartwig III leads the point standings with two top 2 finshes. The Evergreen Modifieds will be on the card along with the Street Stocks, Four Cylinders and, the class growing in popularity, Novice division.
The following Friday will be the 5th annual Tony Fisher Memorial. Tour modifieds will run in two 25 lap features. Evergreen normally runs 50 laps for these ground pounders but, for some added excitement, twin 25’s were added in 2019. Matt Hirschman remains unbeaten this season and on top the standings. Factory Stocks and Four Cylinders will join the tour modifieds.
August 19th will feature the second year division 602 crate modifieds, which have grown in popularity at the 1/3rd asphalt oval. The Late Models will return for their 3rd race of the season. The Street Stocks will compete in a cone race. The Novice division is also on the card.
