GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY AND ASTOUND BROADBAND RELEASE DATES FOR ATVN-TV TO TELEVISE SELECT RACE EVENTS DURING THE 2025 RACING SEASON
VP RACING FUELS BRUCE ROGERS MEMORIAL MONEY MAKER TO OPEN SEASON SATURDAY APRIL 5
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. - Grandview Speedway along with Astound Broadband are announcing the release of several race dates that will see select Saturday Night race programs televised during the upcoming 2025 racing season.
The Astound TV Network (ATVN) will be returning for the 23rd consecutive season at Grandview Speedway to record the race events on six selected Saturday nights, and then show the broadcasts on a tape-delayed basis. The professionals at ATVN have been covering local auto racing since the early 1970’s, with the 2025 season sending ATVN into their 43rd year of local auto racing coverage.
Astound TV Network (ATVN) will once again produce the race events and broadcast those races on a tape-delayed basis, with each program being split into two separate shows. The heat races will be a complete program shown on the following Tuesday night. The features will air the following Friday evening, with further replays to follow.
Astound Broadband has finalized their schedule of television dates for racing at Grandview Speedway.
The six selected Saturday night events, which all include the T.P. Trailer NASCAR Modifieds and the T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman, are on May 3 (plus the Pro 4 Racing Series), May 24 (plus the Outlaw Vintage Series), June 7 (plus the URC Sprint cars), June 28 (plus the Outlaw Vintage Series), July 12 (Sportsman Firecracker 40), and the final one will be the 55th annual Forrest Rogers Memorial for the NASCAR Modifieds on August 9.
As has been the case for many seasons, Randy Kane and Mike Feltenberger will be returning as the announcing team for all ATVN race broadcasts.
Grandview Speedway management welcomes ATVN back for their 23rd season, as Grandview management and all race teams enjoy having the race events shown on ATVN, providing them both with another way to get the race team and track sponsors additional and expanded exposure.
The 2025 season of racing will be the 63rd consecutive at Grandview Speedway, and will begin with a double-header program of Outlaw Racing Series Enduro and Outlaw Racing Series Vintage action on Saturday, March 22 starting at 12 Noon, carrying a rain date of Sunday, March 23.
The following week on Saturday, March 29, will be the traditional annual free-to-the-public practice session open to all divisions starting at 12 noon.
The official Opening Night will be on Saturday, April 5, with the running of the 8th annual VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker for Big Block/Small Block Modifieds. Once again this event will be the first point race of the new season and pay the winner a handsome $7500 for 50-laps of feature racing, along with an amazing $1000 to take the green in the feature.
If needed, April 12 is the rain date for the opener. A complete show of NASCAR 602 Sportsman is also on the Opening Night card participating in their first points-paying event of the season.
Race time for Opening Night on April 5 is 6 pm. All fans and race teams are reminded that all Saturday night events in the month of April will be starting at 6 pm, before reverting to the regular 7:30 pm starting time on May 20.
