BECHTELSVILLE, PA April 5,
2018 . . . A weather forecast that includes a wintery mix of cold, snow,
rain and wind on top of the already saturated grounds has forced

to win and each feature starter earning $125.

impressive field of racers is expected to take part in the rescheduled
doubleheader that will remember the late owner of the popular

added incentive for Modified racers will be the American Racer bonus
awards totaling $1,000. All those who do not qualify for the big race
will have their names entered in a drawing with four names being drawn
