2014 GEORGIE STEVENSON MEMORIAL AT BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY TO ALSO INCLUDE "FAN FEST" ACTIVITIES
MINERSVILLE, PA - June 20th, 2014
The 2014 version of the Georgie Stevenson Memorial at Big Diamond Speedway just got bigger.
This years version will see the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Modifieds go 34 lap for $3,400 to win and $340 just to take the green flag. There will also be a cash dash for the Modifieds, sponsored by Marks Service Center in Pottsville, PA, that pays $300 to the winner. The cash dash is run in memory of Fran Pursell Sr. and Eddie Dee, two long time competitors at the track. Along with the Modifieds will be the USS Achey Sportsman and Roadrunners, each competing in a full slate of qualifying and 20 lap feature events. This event carries a rain date of July 11th, 2014.
Last years winner Meme Desantis will be looking to make it two in a row in this prestigious event, but as is the case each and every week at Big Diamond, the competition will make it very tough to repeat. Billy Pauch Jr., the 2011 winner of this race and winner two times this year at Big Diamond, will surely be one of the favorites, along with Jeff Strunk, Frank Cozze, Duane Howard and a host of others. Expect some invaders to show up and try to take home the cash, as American Racer tires will be legal for this event along with the Hoosier track tires.
This event is run annually in memory of Georgie Stevenson. Diagnosed with spinal cancer at age six, Stevenson was a young race fan who made quite an impact on many, many people before passing away much too soon following a six-year battle with the dreaded disease. Despite his own health issues, Stevenson helped raise money for ill children and adults and accomplished more in his 12 short years than most of us will in a lifetime. For information on Georgie Stevenson and the Georgie Stevenson Memorial Fund, visit www.georgiestevensonmemorial.webs.com.
Also included on this special day will be the first ever "Fan Fest" at Big Diamond Speedway. Held in the grandstand area of the track from 5:00 Pm until 7:30 PM, "Fan Fest" will include complimentary hamburgers, hot dogs, water, and cotton candy to the fans while supplies last. There will be face painting for the kids, popular Roadrunner driver "TJ the DJ" will be providing music for your listening pleasure, and lots of prizes will be given away to the fans. Many drivers will have their cars on display and will be available for an autograph session. Jeff Strunk, Billy Pauch Jr., Charles Webber, and Kevin Beach are just a few of the drivers who have already committed to be part of this very special afternoon.
Adult general admission for this event will be $22.00 for adults. Students ages 13 to 17, seniors, and active military will be $20.00 (all with valid ID). Kids 12 and under, as always, are free.
Come on out and spend your July 4th with "Fan Fest", free food, fun, and great racing at Big Diamond Speedway.
