(Lehighton, PA 10-16-22) Mahoning Valley Speedway’s season ending Fall Brawl taking place this upcoming Saturday, October 22 has a great line-up of racing which includes Modifieds, Late Models, Dirt Modifieds, Street Stocks, Pro 4s, Hobby Stocks and Futures.
And, in a developing update the 602 Crate Modifieds are now being added thanks to Blewett Equipment & Contracting Co., of Howell, NJ who has stepped in to sponsor the event which will be a $1000-to-win 25 lap features. The second spot pays $500 with $400 to third, $300 for fourth and $225 from fifth back.
Blewett Equipment & Construction Co., is a company that specializes in demolition and excavation services and equipment rental. They are located at 246 Herbertsville Road in Howell, NJ.
“It’s a class that is growing and it needs to continue to grow and in order for the 602’s to continue to grow they need to race,” said Blewett Equipment’s Jimmy Blewett and whose son James is a competitor with the division.
“Now is the time of year when there’s not many races going on and it makes sense to bring them to Mahoning. Those cars will be a good fit there, the track is plenty wide enough to run two and sometimes three wide.”
Blewett noted that there will be a number of added bonuses including $500 going to a driver via a random draw after the race. Additionally, $250 is going to be awarded to the highest finishing 602 Crate Modified from Riverhead Raceway, Wall Stadium Speedway or Evergreen Raceway.
“I’m hoping that next year I can get a few friends on board, and we can come together with Mahoning and Evergreen for a two-track series which can help both facilities,” added Blewett.
If you have any questions about the 602 Crate Modifieds please call Mahoning’s Operations Manager Todd Baer at 610-730-7470.
Modifieds headline the Fall Brawl with a 68 lap feature paying $3000 to win, $2200 for second, $1050 for 10th and $800 to take the green.
The Dirt Modifieds will be contesting in a 25-lap/$2300-to-win feature. Late Models have a 50-lap contest paying $2000 to win, $1000 for second and $250 to start.
