MINERSVILLE, PA - Friday's program at Big Diamond Speedway fell to day-long rain and thunderstorms continuing into the evening hours. Speedway operators Fritz and Krista Roehrig made the call early in the day to pull the plug on the program, saving fans and competitors time and fuel costs. Now, attention turns to two days of racing at the Schuylkill County clay oval for Memorial Day weekend.
On Friday, (May 27) The Station House 358-Modifieds (qualifying and 25-lap feature), U.S.S. Achey Sportsman (qualifying and 20-lap feature) and Wooden Keg Tavern Roadrunners (qualifying and 20-lap feature) are set for competition at the Schuylkill County oval. Residents of Schuylkill Haven, Friedensburg, Cressona and New Philadelphia will be admitted for $10 with proof of address through Big Diamond's Community Night program.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7:55 p.m. and the first heat at 8:15 p.m. All Friday shows feature an 8:15 p.m. start time this year. Grandstand admission is $13 (Adults), $10 (Seniors & Military), $5 (Kids 6-12) and FREE for those five years of age and under. Pit admission for members is $25 and $35 for non-members.
The first Michael Weinert Racing Drive for Hunger is set for Friday. Fans are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the speedway to help "drive away hunger" for those in need. A receptacle will be set up at the main gate. Weinert, the 16-year-old Tamaqua, Pa., 358-Mod racer and his team are behind the effort.
