JUST $10 GRANDSTAND ADMISSION, BACKPACK GIVEAWAY, & KID’S MONEY SCRAMBLE
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – It will be a full night of action Saturday night at Grandview Speedway with and without the race cars!
This Saturday’s program, sponsored by T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment of Limerick, Pa., will feature the T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment NASCAR Modifieds and Sportsman along with the Outlaw Racing Series Vintage cars plus a Low-Down Entertainment Backpack giveaway and a Kid’s Money Scramble on Back to the 90’s Night with just $10 grandstand admission!
The show on Saturday, August 15, under the NASCAR Local Racing Series Powered by O’Reilly Auto Parts banner, will include qualifying events 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 a 15-lap main event for the Vintage cars who will be participating in the Dave Smith Memorial.
In addition to the exciting racing action, this Saturday’s weekly Low-Down Entertainment Meet and Greet hosted by Brittany Huber and Jennifer Umbenhauer, will see a Back-to-School backpack giveaway prior to the races during the Meet & Greet where 200 backpacks will be handed out!
The pre-race Meet and Greet is held in the main gate area from 5-6 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 before the night’s program gets underway.
In addition, this week’s drivers scheduled to participate include Brayden Shelton, Matt Smith and Junior Mikosz, who will be on hand with their cars to greet and talk with early attendees. Also, LDE will be raffling off the Meet & Greet banner that is signed by all the drivers with all proceeds going towards the cash dash for the Freedom 76er.
The Kid’s Money Scramble, taking place at intermission, will see the younger fans divided up into different age groups, then coins will be scattered on the front stretch of the racetrack. The youngsters will be given a set amount of time to scoop up as many coins as possible, filling their containers or pockets!
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.
Grandstand admission is just $10, while children ages 9 and under are admitted free of charge. Pit admission is $35 for NASCAR members and $45 for non-members.
The night of racing will be sponsored by T.P. Trailers and Truck Equipment, the Truck and Trailer People — but their services scale far beyond new trailers and truck equipment. T.P. is your one stop shop for trailers, truck equipment and upfitting, portable storage, mobile offices, storage trailers, maintenance, routine service, parts and accessories for mid-size to heavy duty and commercial vehicles and large and small trailers — they even inspect RVs!
For Trailer Sales, T.P. is your local dealer for new trailers and that means driving away with a brand-new trailer with an inspection sticker, registration and completed title work — that is real one stop shopping!
From routine to emergency service, T.P.’s full-service shop handles mid-size vehicles and up. Whether you need an inspection, fleet management or an engine swap, T.P. can do that. T.P.’s service doesn’t stop at trucks either, they offer maintenance, inspections and repairs on trailers, too!
T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment’s Parts Department has been operating for as long as their service department — more than 55 years! Brake assemblies, tires, hydraulic fittings and hoses, routine maintenance, hydraulic fluid, back racks, lighting and strobes — let T.P. keep your trailer, truck, plow and spreader on the road with our parts and accessories.
T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment is in Limerick, Pennsylvania and can be found on the web at www.tptrailersinc.com.
