WILL THERE BE A NEW NASCAR 358 MODIFIED CHAMPION AT GRANDVIEW? TITLES ARE OPEN FOR LATE MODEL AND SPORTSMAN DIVISIONS; PICK YOUR RESERVED SEAT ON MARCH 7TH
BECHTELSVILLE, PA February 27, 2015 . . . In the last 15 years of
NASCAR 358 Modified stock car racing at Grandview Speedway there have been three
different champions. The title during those years has been shared by three of
the very best dirt track stock car racing talents with Jeff Strunk grabbing the
champion’s loot 10 times, Craig VonDohren (the all-time leading feature winner)
has been champion three times and Duane Howard has topped the final point
standings twice.
Fan interest is running high as opening night is just four weeks away.
Will there be someone new taking the NASCAR 358 Modified title, worth thousands
of dollars, in 2015?
Veteran Doug Manmiller has been a threat to the top three for a number of
years. This year he is back with his own team and anxious to show that he has
the talent to be the champion. Jared Umbenhauer is moving to the Modifieds and
after being a powerhouse competitor, winning three straight Sportsman titles, it
will be interesting to see if he carries that success to the primary division of
competition. Young Tim Buckwalter has shown signs of brilliance and this could
be his year to win features and a title. Nate Christman looked strong last
season as did Frank Cozze, Don Norris and several others. The championship looks
to be up for grabs in 2015.
In the Late Models and Sportsman there are no defending champions as BRC
Late Model champion Randy Stoudt has retired and Sportsman titleholder Jared
Umbenhauer plans to challenge the Modified talents. Titles in both divisions are
up for grabs by some very talented racers in both divisions.
So there is plenty for fans to think about as the 53rd
consecutive season of stock car racing gets underway officially on Saturday,
April 4th at 7 p.m. with a three division show that features the 358
Modifieds, Sportsman and BRC Late Models. This will open the battle for the
lucrative championships.
A free-to-the-public practice session featuring all divisions of
competition is set for Saturday, March 28th at 12
noon.
And on Saturday, March 7th, 1 p.m. those who have purchased
2015 season passes are invited to the track to pick their reserved seat for the
season. That is the seat that they will have available each and every Saturday
night from the season opener through the annual Freedom 76 in September. Fans
who have not purchased their season pass, $350 for the season, can do so on
March 7th or be sure to get one by sending a check payable to
Grandview Speedway, 87 Wilt Road, Bechtelsville, PA 19505. Please include a
self-addressed stamped envelope to speed up the return of the
pass.
For Enduro fans, the first of several action packed Sunday afternoon
Enduro events is set for Sunday, March 29th at 1
p.m.
Grandview Speedway, a one-third-mile, banked clay track, is located on
Passmore Road, just off Route 100, 10 miles north of Pottstown, in
Bechtelsville, PA. For information telephone 610.754.7688 or check in at

TRIPLE DIAMONDS SET FOR BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY DEBUT JUNE 5TH
Minersville PA
(2/27/15)--Big Diamond Speedway's 2015 schedule is permeated with
events rich in tradition and racing history, but on June 5th an event
unlike any other will take center stage for the headlining 358 modifieds
with the first running of the "Triple Diamonds".
Promotor Jake Smulley will present a unique qualifying
procedure that will thrill the fans and give racers the opportunity to
take home extra money.
The entire field will be split into two semi-features
that will be 15-laps in length. Each semi-feature will pay at least
$1,000 to win and $100 to start. Line-ups for the semi features will be
determined by timed dashes. The quick-timer on the night will receive a
$100 bonus and will draw an invert number for the heat races.
The top-5 finishers from each semi-feature will be
qualified for the A-main, while the rest of the field will run B-mains.
The top-4 drivers from the B-mains will join the ten drivers that
transferred out of the semi-features in a 14-car redraw while the rest
of the field will be filled in through the B-main "heads-up" from their
finishing positions.
The feature race will be 30 laps and will pay $3,000 to
win. Any driver that can set fast time during the timed dashes and win a
semi-feature will receive an extra $400 bonus, and $1,000 awaits any
driver that can sweep the night with quick-time, a semi-feature victory,
and a win in the A-main.
"This is the start of something that could become an
early-summer tradition at Big Diamond," stated speedway owner Jake
Smulley. "The fans get some extra racing and the drivers get to race for
extra money, it should be a win-win for everyone in attendance on June
5th."
The "Triple Diamonds" event for the modifieds will share the night's card with the thrilling sportsman and roadrunner divisions.
The 2015 season at Big Diamond Speedway officially kicks
off this Monday, March 2nd with the mall show at the Schuylkill Mall
in Frackville. Young fans will have a bevy of activities on Friday March
6th with events including a prizes, cardboard car challenge, kids big
wheels races, driver interviews, autographs, awards, and a tire changing
competition should bring plenty of smiles to families through the
region.

Now we will require that all racers use the G-view stamped
tire.”
Again in 2015 Grandview Speedway will be part of the American Racer Cup
championship that includes many of the most popular area short track racing
