THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING NEWS
CASSIE BRUTOSKY NAMED MISS THUNDER ON THE HILL FOR 2012
The 23rd season of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will return to the Grandview Speedway in 2012.
To get things started, the staff of Thunder on the Hill salutes the Grandview Speedway and the Rogers Family as they celebrate their fiftieth anniversary season. "In today's challenging times, very few tracks have survived the test of time, and enjoyed the success that the Grandview Speedway has seen under one family", said Bob Miller, Co-organizer of the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series with track owner Bruce Rogers. In today's world, the milestone of achieving fifty uninterrupted seasons of success as seen at the Grandview Speedway is truly an accomplishment to be proud of.
The Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will return to Grandview in 2012 with five race dates on the scheduled. Joining the Thunder promotional team in 2012 is Cassie Brutosky who will hold the title as Miss Thunder on the Hill in 2012. Cassie from Hazleton, PA knows her way around the Grandview Speedway as she was one of several hard working Round Table Girls over the past two years. The Round Table Girls were well recognized at the Thunder Shows as they greeted fans at the gate, escorted fans to the infield for warm-ups and took part in the many fan give away activities during the year. "I had a lot of fun at the races and made many new friends over the past two years", Cassie added, "I love the races more than anything and have been going ever since I was born and couldn't imagine not seeing a race every weekend during the summer."
The twenty-two year history of Thunder on the Hill finds one-hundred and two events in the record books with a total payout that tops $3.4 million dollars. Thunder on the Hill broke down barriers of crossing promotional lines, especially as it pertains to special events. First off, brining the 410 sprints to the bull ring modified track of Grandview on a regular basis was a huge undertaking. The Thunder Series then worked with the California Racing Association to bring a group of west coast non-wing sprint car drivers to the east, delivering another success. From that point, it was the WoO Sprints, the Super DIRT Series Modifieds, the WoO Late Models, ROC Modifieds and it was Thunder on the Hill that brought USAC back to Pennsylvania after many years. Miller and Rogers in a joint effort lured USAC to the New Egypt Speedway in 2010, making this show USAC's first return to the State of New Jersey in thirty-two years. Miller also organized the ROC Modified show at the Lincoln Speedway in 2011, making that the first modified race at the weekly sprint car track in twenty-five years. For Bob Miller, it's more about changing history then just running a race.
In 2012, the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will open on Wednesday, May 23 with the Keystone Cup 410 Sprints and 358 Modified double-header. Then on Tuesday, June 5 the USAC Non-Wing Sprints will battle in the Jesse Hockett Classic joined by the ARDC Midgets. On Tuesday night, July 3 the Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week Series will invade Grandview doubling up with the 358 Modifieds. The PPB sponsored 15th Annual Traffic Jam for Modifieds will be sanctioned by the ROC and joined by the sportsman on Tuesday night, July 31. The Thunder Series will close out the season with the always popular House of Thunder Halloween Party set for Saturday night, October 13, showcasing the features only format.
