BECHTELSVILLE, PA March
9,2019 . . . Once again this year of the most talked about and most
anticipated race events to be presented at Grandview Speedway is set to
happen when the Second Annual VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Memorial
Money Maker Classic takes place on Saturday, April 6. The starting time
is set for 7PM.
The
race, a 50-lapper on the one-third-mile, banked clay oval, will feature
the Small Block Modifieds going up against Big Block Modifieds with the
winner walking off with at least $7,500 out of a purse for the day’s
racing that reaches almost $50,000.
Many
racers like the fact that the race is paying $7,500 to win. And they
like that every racer that makes the main event will go home with at
least $1,000. However all that is secondary to them as they welcome the
opportunity to again have the opportunity to win a race run in memory of
a man they had so much respect for. The beautiful specially created
trophy that goes to the winner will be treasured by the winner as well
as just about any other driver that takes part in the big event and is
able to win.
The
Rogers Memorial is expected to attract quite a few outsiders as they
seek the big bucks for the win and the prestige of winning the Classic
named in memory of the late track owner. But of course the weekly
regulars are expected to include 2018 track champion Mike Gular, 10-time
track champion Craig Von Dohren, past champions Jeff Strunk and Duane
Howard, 2018 track Sportsman champion Louden Reimert, Doug Manmiller, Ray Swinehart, and many others.
Also
attracting a lot of attention will be a strong field of the popular
Sportsman stock cars making up the second part of this special
doubleheader event. The winner of this event walks off with $750 and
each driver to make the starting field will earn $125.
