RAIN WASHES OUT BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY FOR 8th TIME IN 2013

MINERSVILLE, PA - AUGUST 11th, 2013

For the 8th time this season, rain forced the cancellation of the racing events scheduled for Big Diamond Speedway on Friday, August 9th.

Heavy rains Thursday evening in Friday morning, with even more rain forecast for Friday evening forced owners/promoters Jake and Jasmine Smulley to cancel the evenings events.

Racing returns to Big Diamond Speedway this coming Friday, August 16th with a full program of 358 Modifieds, Sportsman, and Roadrunners. Also on the card are the Coca Cola one-on-one challenge races for the ZY Pyrotechnics 358 Modifieds.

The following Friday evening, August 23rd, Big Diamond Speedway presents the "Prelude to the Coalcracker" event for the 358 Modifieds. This race will be 30 laps for $4,000 to win and $400 to take the green. Heat race line-ups will be by luck of the draw. This race will serve as a great tune up race for anyone looking to enter this years Jack Rich Memorial Coalcracker 72 event. A stellar field is expected for this prelude event.

Also on the card or the 23rd will be the Hilborn Tri-State Race Saver Sprints making their 2nd appearance of the season in a 20 laps feature event, along with the Savage 61 Roadrunners, also with a 20 lap feature event.

The Street Stocks race originally scheduled for this date has been removed from the evenings event.

Gates will open at 5:00 PM, with warm-ups at 7:45 PM and the first heat scheduled to hit the track at 8:15 PM.

Then on Sunday, September 1st, Big Diamond Speedway and Jack Rich Inc. present the annual Coalcracker 72 race for the ZY Pyrotechnics 358 Modifieds. This years races will once again pay $10,000 to win, but the "to take the green" money has been increased to $500.

Entry forms are now available for this event, with the early entry fee being $35.00 per car. The day of the event the entry fee increases to $50.00 per car. Entry forms have already been received from track regulars Ricky Yetter and Ron Haring Jr.
