THE HONOR OF WINNING THE BRUCE ROGERS MEMORIAL MONEY MAKER WILL MEAN MORE THAN THE MONEY
CONFUSION REGARDING SCHEDULED RCN-TV EVENTS CORRECTED
BECHTELSVILLE, PA March 9,
2018 . . . The First annual VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Memorial Money
Maker set for Saturday, April 7th at Grandview Speedway will
reward the winner with at least $7,500. However the honor of winning the
50-lap Small Block/Big Block Modified race could very well mean more to
the winner than the big bucks.
Rogers,
the man who built the one-third-mile, banked clay track along with his
father, was one of the most respected auto racing promoters in the
business. And he was very well respected by the competitors. During his
55 years of running the popular auto racing facility he was able to
bring it to national notoriety. It is one of the most successful short
track racing operations in nation and has continued under the operation
of members of the Rogers family since he passed away in March of last
year.
Many well-known racing talents have expressed interest in being a part of this event which will kick off the 56th consecutive season of stock car racing at the Bechtelsville oval.
In addition to the $7,500 for the winner each driver taking the green in the first time event will earn at least $1,000.
A
full series of qualifying events will lead up to the 50-lap main event.
Sportsman stock cars will be featured as the second part of the show.
