BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – For the third consecutive week, rain is the winner Saturday at Grandview Speedway.
With rain all morning, and more predicted to continue until very late in the day, Grandview Speedway was once again forced to cancel the scheduled racing program for Saturday, June 14.
The program on Saturday was to feature the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman in the eleventh scheduled race meet of the season, which turned into the eighth rain out of the current campaign, the most ever to start a season in Grandview Speedway track history.
Grandview Speedway will look to present another NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series program next Saturday featuring the T.P. Trailer NASCAR Modifieds and the T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman.
In an effort to make-up some of the postponements, track management already hosted a Twin 25-lap feature program for the T.P. Trailer Modifieds, and now this coming week the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman will have a double, with Twin 20-lap features on the race card for Saturday, June 21.
The June 21 race meet will include qualifying events for both classes leading into Twin 20-lap features for the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman along with a 30-lap T.P. Trailer Modified feature.
Anyone having a rain check or pit wristband from May 17 may use them for the June 21 program, with ticket holders having to pay the added price (adults an extra $3, or students an extra $2, pit prices are the same). The June 21 event will be the last night to use the May 17 rainchecks.
Pit gates will open at 4 pm, with grandstand gates opening at 5:30 pm, warm-ups starting at 6:15 pm, and the first race of the evening getting the green flag at 7:30 pm.
Adult grandstand admission is $23, students 10-15 with ID are $12, while children ages 9 and under are admitted free of charge. Pit admission is $35 for NASCAR members and $45 for non-members.
The second Thunder on the Hill Racing Series event will actually be on the schedule first, coming up on Tuesday, June 17, as Levan Machine & Truck Equipment presents the Jesse Hockett Classic USAC National Sprint Car Series Eastern Storm opener.
This racing program will include time trials and qualifying events for the USAC Sprints leading up to the 40-lap feature event that pays $6000 to win. The program also includes the 358 Modifieds in a NASCAR point event, with qualifying events and a 30-lap $3000 to win feature, that could pay an added $2000 from Alpine Building Supply if the winning driver is a first time Thunder Series winner.
The Thunder on the Hill advance ticket process is in place for the Tuesday, June 17 USAC Sprint Car and 358 Modified double header. For advance tickets, please call 443-513-4456, leave your name and the number of tickets you need for June 17. You may pay for and pick up tickets at the Will Call Window after 4:15 pm, and enter the main grandstand gate at 4:30 pm. General admission tickets go on sale at 5 pm. Adult grandstand tickets are $35, children 6 to 11 are $10 and children 5 and under will be admitted for free. Pit admission is $45 and a license is not required.
The Outlaw Racing Series Enduro and Outlaw Racing Series Vintage cars will be making up their June 6 rain out with a new date for Friday, June 27, in a program that starts at 7 pm. Pit gates open at 2 pm, with grandstand gates opening at 5:30 pm. Grandstand admission will be $10, with children ages 12 and under admitted for free. Pit admission is $35 for the Friday event.
