NEWS FROM NASCAR SANCTIONED ROGERS FAMILY GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY, Bechtelsville, PA
Event Organizer Kenny Rogers-Assistant Event Organizer Tina Rogers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PLEASE WITH OUR THANKS
NOT SURPRISING MA NATURE CONTINUES TO SHOW SHE IS NOT A FAN OF MOTORSPORTS; RAIN FORCED GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY TO CANCEL THEIR SATURDAY HATFIELD QUALITY MEATS NIGHT
BECHTELSVILLE, PA July 22, 2017 . . . Once again, in a season that has had more rainouts than most racers and fans care to remember, Ma Nature forced Grandview Speedwaymanagement to cancel the Saturday Hatfield Quality Meats Night show that would have featured the NASCAR TP Trailers 358 Modfieds, BRC Late Models, Sportsman and Vintage racers.
Action will now move to Saturday, July 29th with the Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman being the featured attractions. Racing will have a 7:30 p.m. starting time. Again admission for adults will be a low $15 plus youngsters 11 and under are admitted free.
Hatfield Quality Meats Night hopefully will be able to be rescheduled for a later date especially when it is such a popular night for fans.
Many of the Modified racers are even more disappointed by the rainout because it gives them one less chance to get in some competition laps prior to the $10,000 to win Pioneer Pole Buildings Forrest Rogers Memorial set for August 5th. A victory in the 50-lap Classic is one of the most sought after rewards in area motorsports as it remembers the founder of the speedway.
Grandview Speedway continues to be one of the most successful NASCAR WEEKLY short track operations in the nation having been presenting stock car racing events under the Rogers family promotion for the past 55 years. The season at Grandview continues from late March to November. The one-third-mile, banked clay track is located on Passmore Road, just off Route 100, in Bechtelsville, PA, 10 miles north of Pottstown. A full line of concession and novelty items is offered. Fans are invited to the pit area after the racing events have been completed and racing equipment loaded into the trailers. Race information is available atwww.grandviewspeedway.com, Facebook, Twitter and at 610.754.7688. And it is a good idea to link up with Rainedout.com to get latest info on rainouts.
