(Lehighton, PA 4-30-23) Mahoning Valley Speedway will look to get back into the swing of things this coming Saturday, May 6 starting at 5:00 pm.
After losing out to rain this past Saturday – the second time in four races – the paved ¼-mile looks to rebound with five regular track classes plus Junk Car Races and the JuiceBox Division.
It is also Kids Night with activities taking place for much of the younger set.
The 602 Crate Modifieds headline the action filled evening of stock car racing. Two weeks ago Broc Brown scored a big win in the first race of the Evergreen Raceway/Mahoning Valley Speedway Dual Track Series (DTS) sponsored by Rustic Roots Salon of Lehighton.
Brown would become the first winner of the DTS and set a new speed mark with the class at 10.517-seconds in the process. Brown beat Nick Baer, Paulie Hartwig III, Evan Rygielski and Jaden Rogers to the checkers.
Although all those who ran received ‘show-up’ points, this will be the first regular season event so everyone comes into the evening on equal terms.
The Street Stocks, Pro 4s, Harry’s U-Pull-It Hobby Stocks and Futures are also on the card plus for the first time Junk Car Races will be held under the lights.

The Dash Series will be running at Evergreen Raceway the next day. 100 show-up points will be disbursed to all track regulars that goes towards the season championship.
