THUNDER ON THE HILL EVENTS, SEIRES TO OPEN WEDNESDAY, MAY
23RD
The 23rd season of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on
the Hill Racing Series will take the green flag on Wednesday night, May 23 at
the Grandview Speedway with the always popular double-header to include the 410
Sprints and the 358 Modifieds. This event will mark the one-hundred and
third Thunder event presented at Grandview Speedway.
Of special interest for the always important Thunder on the
Hill race fans, Vertical Wave Telephone Systems will be returning to the hill
and offering as many as twelve $25 gas cards in a variety of giveaway promotions
at each Thunder Show. Jim Gallagher of Vertical Wave continues to be a good
friend to all who take part in the wildly popular Thunder on the Hill Series.
Jim can easily be found on race night at the front gate or taking lead with the
nightly Inside/Out Promotion, where race fans have an opportunity to watch
warm-ups from the infield. For all your phone communication needs, reach out
to Vertical Wave at 800-479-0955.
In 2012, the Modified feature winner of each Thunder on the
Hill event will earn a dinner for two at Texas Roadhouse located on Hamilton
Blvd (Route222) in Trexlertown, PA. At least one other bonus is soon to be
announced for the Modifieds in the coming Thunder Series.
The 410 Sprints are always a “thrill on the hill” and the May
23rd outing will mark the first race of the Keystone Cup Sprint
Series. Expected entries chasing the $5,000 winner’s share include Fred Rahmer
of Salfordsville, PA, Greg Hodnett, Chad Layton, Justin Henderson, Lance
Dewease, Brian Montieth, Logan Schuchart, Mark Smith, Brent Marks, Daryn Pittman
and defending event winner Brian Leppo.
How tough is it to win a 410 Sprint feature at Grandview?
Lance Dewease is a ten time winner at Thunder on the Hill,
yet his last win came in 2003. Fred Rahmer owns nine Thunder victories and his
last visit to the Thunder Series podium was in 2008. And Greg Hodnett, a four
time winner on the hill last parked in victory lane in 2003. Brian Leppo
scored his first Thunder win last year and would like nothing more then to
duplicate that effort. You just can’t make mistakes at Grandview, especially
with the 410 sprints turning laps in the eleven second bracket.
The 358 Modifieds will complete in a series of qualifying
events all leading up to the 25 lap feature event. This event will certainly
be viewed by some out-siders as a test and tune for the September 15 BPG $50,000
to win Freedom 76. Regulars expected to be in the field include Duane Howard,
Jeff Strunk, Craig Vondohren, Doug Manmiller, Kevin Hirthler, MeMe DeSantis and
Brad Missimer.
Adult admission tickets are $22, children 6-11 $5 and
children 5 and under will be admitted for free. The pit fee is $30 and a
license is not required.
Advance tickets for the May 23rd will be on sale
at Grandview Speedway the two Saturday nights (May 12 and May 19) prior to the
May 23rd NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Series
Opener.
NAPA Auto Parts will return for their twentieth consecutive
year as the lead Thunder on the Hill Racing Series Sponsor. Other sponsors
on-board for the coming season include Vertical Wave Telephone Systems, Pioneer
Pole Buildings LLC, Lee Myles Transmissions, BPG/Chad Sinon Motorsports and the
Fairgrounds Square Mall.
And don’t forget, the nationally known Amsoil USAC National
Wingless Sprints will return to the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, June
5 for the 40 lap Jesse Hockett Classic. Also on the program will be the ARDC
Midgets with race time set for 7:30 PM. Some say, just watching the USAC
wingless sprints time trial at Grandview is worth the price of admission..
Defending winner Bobby East will return to defend his win on the
“hill”.
USAC will also be making a stop at the New Egypt Speedway on
Thursday night, June 7 in a double-header with the Modifieds. Gates will open
at 5 PM with race time set for 7:30 PM.
