OPEN WHEEL ACTION ENDS MONTHS OF MAY AND JUNE AT BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY

MINERSVILLE, PA - MAY 19th, 2013

For fans of Big Diamond Speedway looking for some open wheel excitement, look no further then the end of May and June to get your fix.

On Friday, May 31st, Big Diamond is pleased to welcome the TSRS 305 Sprint Cars to the speedway for the first of two shows this season. Led by defending champion Mike Haggenbottom, Rick Steif, Steve Wilson, Joe Lord, Tim Tanner, and a host of others, this group is sure to put on a fantastic race. Forty three cars have competed in this series to date in 2013, and it is a double points show this evening, so a great field of cars is expected. These cars may be a little slower than there 358/360/410 counterparts, but that doesn't take away from the racing excitement. The TSRS 305 Sprints offer clean, close, exciting racing for everyone to enjoy. They will be joined on the racing card by the 358 Modifieds, Sportsman, Roadrunners, and the 600cc Modifeds, who will also be making their first appearance of the season.

Then on Sunday, June 30th, it's time for the big boys. The Central PA 410 Sprint cars invade Big Diamond Speedway for the annual Sprint Speed Week show. This will be round #3 of the Sprint Speed Week Series, and will be a 30 lap event paying $5,000 to the winner. Former track champion and multi-time Speed Week champion Fred Rahmer is expected to be on hand, along with Brian Monteith, Lance Dewease, Dan Dietrich, and many, many more. This is always one of the most exciting and well attended events during the racing season at Big Diamond Speedway. Be sure to mark it on your calendar now so you do not miss out. The Sprints will be joined this evening by the Roadrunner division. Racing starts at 7:30 PM

Don't forget, Little Diamond Speedway is still in action, with the next event being Sunday, June 9th at 2 PM. This is a change from the original schedule, as this event was originally scheduled for Thursday, June 6th. We have cancelled racing on the 6th and moved it to the 9th in hopes of getting a better car count for the fans. 270cc Micro Sprints and Slingshots make up the racing cars. Adult grandstand admission is only $8.00 and kids 12 and under are free.
