GRANDVIEW CANCELLED!

MA NATURE DEFINITELY NOT A FAN OF SHORT TRACK AUTO RACING AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA May 14, 2011 . . . For the fourth time already this season rain washed out the Saturday night Whelen Engineering sponsored program of NASCAR 358 Modified and Late Model stock car racing at Grandview Speedway.
Rain all throughout the night with more rain in the morning hours, misting conditions continuing and forecasts for thunderstorms were all factors in the early cancellation. Speedway management did not want to put fans and racers in the position of traveling to the track, using their gas, only to have the events cancelled.
“It is getting frustrating to have all the rainouts,” said track owner Bruce Rogers. “However when you think of what the people are going through along the Mississippi you can’t get too upset. We will just get busy and start working on the track, as soon as the rain stops, and be ready for next Saturday night.”
