GOOD NEWS!!! THE 52ND SEASON OF STOCK CAR RACING IS SET TO GO AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON APRIL 5

BECHTELSVILLE, PA March 29, 2014 . . . There may have been some who thought the stock car racing season would never get here after such a long, cold, snowy winter. However there is good news, the 52^nd consecutive season of stock car racing will get the green flag on Saturday, April 5^th at NASCAR sanctioned Grandview Speedway.

          The one-third-mile, banked clay track is expected to be in peak condition having had new clay added to the surface at the end of 2013.

          Saturday night racing action for the season opener will include a tripleheader show that will feature the fan favorite NASCAR 358 Modifieds along with the crowd pleasing action of the Sportsman and Late Model stock cars.

          A full series of qualifying events will be presented in each division with a 30-lap feature topping the racing action for the Modifieds and 25-lap features for the Late Models and Sportsman.

          Again this season T.P. Trailers of Limerick, PA will be posting  bonus bucks for the feature winners in each division. That includes $250 for the Modified winner and $100 for the Late Model and Sportsman feature winner.

          The racers will be chasing lucrative point funds offered by the Rogers family and NASCAR with the 358 Modified champion walking off with well over $10,000 at the end of the season.

          For the first time in quite a while Pastor Don Kerns will deliver an invocation before the races and Keith Gerhart will deliver one of his rousing renditions of the National Anthem.

          Jeff Ahlum, well known area racing announcer, will be kicking off his career as the Saturday night announcer replacing long time announcer Ernie Saxton who retired at the end of last season after 45 years at the microphone.

          Gates will open at 5 p.m. with racing starting at 7 p.m. Adult admission is $15 while youngsters 12 and under are admitted for FREE. There is free parking on the grounds of the speedway.

GRANDVIEW SET FOR PRACTICE DAY, TIRE SITUATION ADDRESSED

BECHTELSVILLE, PA March 26, 2014 . . . As long as the weather person cooperates dozens of race cars, all types, are expected to take to the track at Grandview Speedway on Saturday, March 29^th at noon. The free-to-the-public practice session will offer racers from a variety of different divisions of competition the opportunity to test and tune their new equipment for the 2014 season and fans will have the opportunity to see what their favorites have to offer.

          Speedway management has also announced a change in their tire situation for the 2014 season. It had been said that tires stamped with BGP would not be allowed in competition after Memorial Day weekend. Track owner Bruce Rogers and Lias Tire (manufacturer of American Racer tires) have decided to allow the use of BGP stamped tires for the entire 2014 season but suggest that teams go to the new GVIEW stamped tire as soon as possible.

          “We want to allow the racers a fair amount of tire to use the older BGP tires and did not want to have racers face a financial hardship by forcing them to go to the newer GVIEW tire early in the season,” said track owner Bruce Rogers. “We feel this is a fair way to handle the tire situation.”

          The free-to-the-public practice session allows fans to enjoy the action from the grandstands free of charge.

          Everyone entering the pit area will be charged $30 but NO NASCAR license will be required.

          The chase for the lucrative point championships will get the green flag at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 5^th with a tripleheader show featuring the NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman stock cars. Gates open at 5 p.m. Adult admission will be $15 while youngsters 12 and under will be admitted FREE.

          Season tickets, priced at $350, will be available. The season ticket includes a reserved seat for all the Saturday night events run between April 5 and the end of September.

          NASCAR pit licenses for the drivers and owners in the 358 Modified division will be $200 for the season while owners and drivers in the Late Model and Sportsman divisions will pay $100.

          Pit admission for the regular Saturday night NASCAR events will run $30.

          Grandview Speedway, a banked one-third-mile clay track, is located on Passmore Road, just off Route 100, in Bechtelsville, PA, 10 miles north of Pottstown.
