GRANDVIEW BATTING .500 WITH MA NATURE AS RAIN WIPES OUT SATURDAY NIGHT RACING ACTION

BECHTELSVILLE, PA May 7, 2011 . . . They are batting .500 at Grandview Speedway. Six races have been scheduled so far this season, three dates have been completed and three have been rained out including Saturday night’s tripleheader which would have featured the NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Late Models and a NEETS Enduro.
“We got caught with the track surface bladed open,” said track owner Bruce Rogers. “When the rains come with the track surface bladed open it is difficult to get it ready for racing. We kept hoping that the rain would stop and we would have a chance to get to work.
“Unfortunately the rain was still coming down at 6 p.m. and there was no way we were going to be able to get the track sealed and ready for racing at a reasonable hour. Rather than put the racers and fans through all that and still having the possibility of more rain, we cancelled.”
