RAIN WASHES OUT BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY FOR 6th TIME IN 2013

MINERSVILLE, PA - JUNE 28th, 2013

If Mother Nature is a race fan, she is having a very strange way of showing it this year. For the 6th time this season, heavy rain and thunderstorms forced the cancellation of the racing events scheduled for Big Diamond Speedway on Friday, June 28th.

Racing returns to the speedway this coming Friday, July 5th for the 33rd annual Georgie Stevenson Memorial for Modifieds going 33 laps and paying $3,300 to the winner/$330 to take the green. This event has become a "must attend" event for many fans and competitors alike, and this years event should be no different. Also on the card that evening will be the Sportsman, Roadrunners, and 600cc Modifieds. Fireworks will also be parts of the evenings events. Gates open at 5 PM and first heat hits the track at 8:15 PM.

Friday, July 12th, it's time for the most unprecedented event in the history of Big Diamond Speedway. It's time for FANdemonium. What is FANdemonium? FANdemonium is an event created by track owners Jake and Jasmine Smulley to thank the most important people in racing - the fans. How much will admission be to FANdemonium? Free. That's right - free. All fans entering the grandstand area on the night of FANdemoium will be admitted free of charge. When Jake and Jasmine purchased the track back in October 2012, one of their main goals was to give the track a fresh start. A new beginning. FANdemonium is part of this new beginning. This event, the first of its kind in track history, is their way of showing the fans exactly how important they are, and to thank them for their fantastic support so far in 2013 FANdemonium will consist of regular, points paying events for the Modifieds, Sportsman, and Roadrunners. But the racing is only a small part of the days activities. There will be plenty of activities for the kids and giveaways for the fans. Plans are in the works to have dozens of cars on display in the grandstand area. An autograph session is planned featuring many of your favorite drivers, and much, much more.

Then on Friday, July 19th, Big Diamond Speedway tries again to present the Crazy 8's for the Roadrunner division. The ZY Pyrotechnics 358 Modifieds and USS Achey Sportsman will be on the card with their normal 25 and 20 lap feature events respectfully, but what everyone will be there to see is the fan favorite Savage 61 Roadrunners competing in the Crazy 8's - four 8 lap feature events. Each 8 lap feature for the Roadrunners will be a full, points paying event. The first feature will be lined up by normal handicapping procedures. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th feature events will be lined up via an invert number, drawn by the previous feature winner. The invert numbers available will be 5 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 11 - and 13. Whatever number is drawn for the 2nd feature will not be used again. Same thing for the 3rd and 4th features. An invert number can only be used one time during the night. Should make an interesting show even more interesting. The point standing are sure to look a lot different once the night is over.
