BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY READY FOR FIRST FRIDAY EVENING EVENT OF 2014

MINERSVILLE, PA - April 16th, 2014

Management, drivers, owners, track workers, pit crew members, and fans alike are all hoping that the third time is indeed the charm when it comes to racing at Big Diamond Speedway this Friday evening, April 18th.

After losing the first two events scheduled for Friday evenings to Mother Nature, Big Diamond Speedway will try once again to present the first Friday evening event of the 2014 season.  On the card are the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic 358 Modifieds going 30 laps for $3,000 to win and $300 to take the green, the Jeremy Slifko Fabrication Services Late Models going 20 laps for $1,000 to win, and the Savage 61 Roadrunners going 20 laps for $300 to win.  Also on the racing card will be the first appearance of the Outlaw Enduro Series, who will present the "Enduro Dash".  The "Dash" is open to 4, 6, and 8 cylinder Enduro cars and will go 20 laps or 20 minutes, whichever comes first.

A great field of cars is expected Friday evening, with 2 time defending track champion Craig Von Dohren, Frank Cozze, Stewart Friesen, Duane Howard, Doug Manmiller, Kevin Albert Jr., Dale Hartz, Billy Pauch Jr. and many more expected to be in attendance looking to take home the top prize.  In the Late Models, Sean Merkel will be trying to make it two for two after winning the opening day event held on 4/6/2014, but Scott Haus, Andy Haus, Billy Wampler, and a host of others will surely try to prevent the repeat victory.  Tom Hablett will look to do the same in the always competitive Roadrunner division, with Jeremy Becker, Shon Elk, Chris Holland, Jim Kost, and many, many more on hand to try and claim the top spot.

Gates open at 5 PM, warm-ups are at 7:45 PM, and the first heat hits the track at 8:15 PM.  Grandstand admission for this event will be $20.00 for adults, $18.00 for seniors, active military, and students ages 13 to 17 (all with valid ID).  Kids 12 and under are admitted free of charge.  Pit participation fees are $30.00 for members and $40.00 for non-members.  Remember, bring your wrist band from the last race of the 2013 season and receive $2.00 your grandstand admission.  The same tire and racing fuel rules are in effect on this day as they were for Money in the Mountains, with both Hoosier and American Racer tires allowed to be run on this evening.

Come out early on Friday and meet Late Model driver Drew Weiser along with Roadrunner drivers TJ Fitzpatrick and Jesse Krasnitsky.  All three of these driver will have their cars on display for the fans in the grandstand area from 5:30 until 7:00 PM.

As is the case each and every week at Big Diamond Speedway, both a Modified and Sportsman Hard Charger Award winner will receive a $25 gift certificate for use off a rebuild of a steering gear (any brand) courtesy of GME Manufacturing LLC from New Ringold, PA.

Also each and every week, Red, White, and Blue Autos Inc. from Ashland, PA will be sponsoring a weekly Hard Luck Award for the Modified and Roadrunner divisions.  The management of Big Diamond Speedway will pick a driver who had bad luck that night from each of those two divisions based on the evenings racing results.  The driver picked as the hard luck driver in each division will be admitted for free the following week, courtesy of the fine folks at Red, White, and Blue Auto Sales.  The same Hard Luck Award will be awarded to the Sportsman division courtesy of Kim's Kreations in Myerstown, PA.

Next week on Friday, April 25th it's the one and only appearance of the Rislone Sprint Series United Racing Company Sprint Cars at Big Diamond Speedway.  Also on the card will be the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic 358 Modifieds, U.S.S. Achey Sportsman, making their first appearance of the season, and Savage 61 Roadrunners.

Mark both dates on your calendar now, you won't want to miss them.
