BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – Following the highly successful PA 410 Sprint Speed Week race on Tuesday night, Grandview Speedway is ready to start a busy month of July this Saturday night.
Grandview will celebrate our nation’s birthday with a NASCAR Local Racing Series Powered by O’Reilly Auto Parts program on Independence Day Saturday, July 4 featuring the T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment NASCAR Modifieds and Sportsman in a two-division program that will include qualifying events for both classes leading into a 30-lap T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Modified feature, a 25-lap feature for the T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Sportsman, along with the Low Down Throw Down one-on-one Match Races for the Modifieds.
The one-on-one T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Modified match races presented by Low Down Entertainment, known as the Low-Down Throw Down, will see the top seven drivers in T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Modified points plus the three fastest cars timed through that evening’s hot lap session that are not in the top seven in points participating in the match races.
The overall winner will get a top prize of $500, plus additional prizes are available including an American Racer tire certificate, and a bottle of Inferno Armor.

The pre-race Meet and Greet is held in the grandstand main gate area from 5 to 6 pm and is a great time for fans to meet the drivers in person, collect some autographs, take photos, and talk racing with their favorite drivers before the night’s program gets underway.
