BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – After an unexpected break in the race schedule due to the weather, Grandview Speedway is ready to fire back to action this weekend with two nights of action.

The show will include qualifying events for both classes leading up to the 30-lap T.P. Trailer Modified feature and the 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman main event.
The Astound TV Network (ATVN) will once again be returning for their 21st season at Grandview Speedway to record the race events on six selected Saturday nights, and then show the broadcasts on a tape-delayed basis. The first event to be covered will be the Saturday, May 6 program.

The pre-race Meet and Greet with the guys from Low Down and Dirty returns and features the father and son duo of Ryan and Logan Watt. The Meet and Greet is held in the main gate area starting at 5 pm. and is a great time for fans to meet the drivers up close, collect some autographs, take photos, and talk racing with their favorite drivers.
With only one race in the record books so far this season, drivers will be itching to get back to action and all are contenders to reach victory lane in T.P. Trailer Modified feature action.
Drivers that will be in the hunt for a win on Saturday will be those drivers who finished in the top spots on Opening Night including Mike Gular, Brett Kressley, Jeff Strunk, Craig Von Dohren, Tim Buckwalter, Jared Umbenhauer, Eddie Strada, Justin Grim, John Willman, Dylan Swinehart and many more.
In the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman division, it is anyone’s guess as to who may grab a win with only one race complete. Likely candidates include the top finishers from night one including Brian Hirthler, Brett Gilmore, Logan Watt, Kyle Smith, Mike Schneck Jr., Brad Grim, Andy Ressler, Michael Burrows, Cody Manmiller, and Adrianna Delliponti.
All these drivers plus nearly three dozen total in each class will be looking for a victory this coming Saturday in their chase for the Grandview Speedway track and NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series championships.
The second weekend of the month of May on Saturday, May 13, will feature the only visit of the year by the Rapid Tire USAC East Coast wingless Sprint Cars. They will make for a three-division program joining the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman at 7:30 pm.
