BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY PRESENTS THE 33rd ANNUAL GEORGIE STEVENSON MEMORIAL
THIS FRIDAY, JULY 5th.
MINERSVILLE, PA - JULY 2nd, 2013
This
coming Friday, July 5th, Big Diamond Speedway proudly presents the 33rd running
of the Georgie Stevenson Memorial for the ZY Pyrotechnics 358
Modifieds.
This race is run annualy in memory of Georgie Stevenson.
Diagnosed with spinal cancer at age six, Georgie Stevenson was a young race fan
who made quite an impact on many, many people before passing away much too soon
following a six-year battle. Despite his own health issues, Stevenson helped
raise money for ill children and adults and accomplished more in his 12 short
years than most of us will in a lifetime. For information on Georgie Stevenson
and the Georgie Stevenson Memorial Fund, visit www.georgiestevensonmemorial.webs.com.
This
years event will go 33 laps and pay $3,300 to win and $330 to take the green.
Twenty six cars are expected to take the green flag for the feature event,
including one of last years twin-twenty winners; Dan Hineline, 2011 winner Billy
Pauch Jr., six time Georgie Stevenson victor Craig Von Dohren, along with a host
of others. Heat line-ups will be determined by luck of the draw. Drivers
finishing in a handicap position in their heat races will then redraw for their
feature starting spots.
Also on the racing card Friday evening will be
the Sportsman, Roadrunners, and XCEL 600 Modifieds, all competing in qualifying
events and 20 lap features.
Fireworks, always a fan favorite, will be
presented at some point during the evening to help celebrate the 4th of July
holiday weekend.
Gates open at 5:00 PM, with warm-ups at 7:45 PM and the
first heat slated to take the track at 8:15 PM.
