ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR "PRELUDE TO THE COAL CRACKER" AT BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY

MINERSVILLE, PA - AUGUST 22nd, 2013

Tomorrow, Friday August 23rd, Big Diamond Speedway proudly presents the first ever "Prelude to the Coal Cracker" race for the ZY Pyrotechnics 358 Modifeds.

The weather forecst is looking great, and a strong contingent of racers have expressed their interest in running this race, which pays an unheard of $4,000 to win the 30 lap event and $400 just to take the green.  In just a few short weeks since its announcement, the "Prelude" has quickly become a "must attend/must see" event.  With drivers from other tracks looking to get a little seat time in just a week before the annual Coalcraker 72 race, a large, diverse field is expected for this event.

Heat race line-ups for this event will be by luck of the draw, so even a non-regular has a great shot at starting in the front half of the field should they qualify in a handcicap spot in their heat race.

So far in 2013, Craig Von Dohren is a perfect 4 for 4 in these 30 lap events.  Can he go 5 for 5, or will another driver be able to derail his domination in these big money events?

Also on the card that evening will be the Hilborn Tri-State Race Saver Sprints making their 2nd appearance of the season in a 20 lap 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.

Adult grandstand admission for this event will be $20.00, with kids 12 and under admitted free of charge.

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.  Make plans to get there early, as a banner crowd is expected for this event.

Just a reminder that coming up on Sunday, September 1st, Big Diamond Speedway and Jack Rich Inc. present the annual Coalcracker 72 race for the ZY Pyrotechnics 358 Modifieds.  Also on the card will be the Roadrunners competing in a 25 lap main event, along with a huge fireworks display to be set-off at some point during the evening.

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, Ron Haring Jr., Dan Hineline, and Ray Swinehart.

Lap sponsorships are also available at $20.00 per lap.  Please see Tim Long at the pit sign in booth or in the tower at intermission if interesting in sponsoring a lap or laps.
