IMAGINE THAT, RAIN WASHED OUT
SATURDAY NIGHT STOCK CAR RACING AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY FOR THE EIGHTH
TIME THIS SEASON; PPB FORREST ROGERS MEMORIAL RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY,
AUGUST 18TH
BECHTELSVILLE, PA August
11, 2018 . . . Give us a break Ma Nature!!! For the eighth time this
season NASCAR stock car racing was rained out on Saturday night at
Grandview Speedway. The $10,000 to win Pioneer Pole Buildings Forrest
Rogers Memorial was lost to weather and has been reset for Saturday,
August 18th at 7:30 p.m.
A
stellar field of Modified stock car racing talent was scheduled to be
on hand for the big event that honors the memory of the man who had the
idea and carried it through to build the one-third-mile, banked clay
Grandview Speedway located in Bechtelsville, PA.
Everything that was scheduled before the events were rained out will be reset for next Saturday.
Again
this Saturday every Modified racer making his way through the gate will
be looking to win the PPB Forrest Rogers Memorial and take home the
$10,000 first place money plus the prestige of being a winner of this
annual Classic. With three wins in row and eight overall in this Classic Craig Von Dohren is a strong favorite but don’t count out anyone.
Now
with just FOUR Saturday night shows remaining that count toward the
point standings a strong finish has become even more important. Mike
Gular, Danny Snyder and Louden Reimert continue to lead the point
standings in the three divisions of NASCAR action. The threesome plus a
host of others will be looking to earn every point possible in their
drive to win the lucrative NASCAR and track titles.
Of
course Jeff Strunk, Duane Howard, Meme DeSantis, Ray Swinehart, Doug
Manmiller and many others will be performing at their best in hopes of
picking up the top prize.
And
of course with the big bucks on the line it is always possible there
will be some visitors come to challenge the regulars. Ryan Godown and
Rick Laubach had been scheduled to race and it will be interesting to
see if they return.
Jersey Shore race fan Jim Gilmore has posted $100 for the leader of lap number 18 in memory of the late Mike Bailey.
The
50-lap feature for Modifieds headlines the Pioneer Pole Buildings
tripleheader that will also include Sportsman and Late Model stock car
racing action.
And
there is the popular Low Down and Dirty Internet Radio sponsored Meet
& Greet, featuring drivers and cars on display in the main gate area
at 5PM. This week Craig Von Dohren, Kevin and Brian Hirthler along with
Chuck Schutz will be featured.
Adult
admission is $25 while youngster 6 thru 11 pay just $5 and those under 6
are admitted free. Pit admission is $30 with a NASCAR license. And
there is free parking on the speedway grounds.
Available

the September 15th Freedom 76 that will pay at least $25,000 to win.
