BECHTELSVILLE, PA – The 55th consecutive season of thrilling auto racing entertainment at NASCAR sanctioned Grandview Speedway is about to commence with a bang! The first of several exciting doubleheaders, featuring the Outlaw Enduro competition and the Blast from the Past Vintage Racers, is set to take place on Sunday, March 18th.
Then, on Saturday, March 25th, the annual Free to the Public Practice Session awaits. This event will showcase a diverse range of auto racing classes, with many teams using the afternoon as a crucial final test and tune-up session before their season officially kicks off. The practice sessions will get underway precisely at noon.
This practice day presents a golden opportunity for fans who either have or are planning to obtain season passes to select their reserved seat for the entire season. Season passes covering all Saturday events from April through September are priced at a reasonable $350. To order, simply send a check payable to Grandview Speedway in the amount covering the cost of all the passes you desire to 87 Wilt Road, Bechtelsville, PA 19505. Don’t forget to include a self-addressed stamped envelope to expedite the return of your passes. And, of course, season passes will also be available on the practice day.
NASCAR sanctioned stock car racing will be the star attraction on Saturday nights throughout the season, featuring the T.P.Trailers Modifieds, Late Models, and Sportsman. The season opener for these NASCAR racers is scheduled for Saturday, April 2, at 7 p.m.
Admission prices will remain unchanged from last year, with adults paying a modest $15 for a regular Saturday night tripleheader.
The highlight of the season schedule is the highly anticipated $25,000 to win Freedom 76 Modified Classic, slated for Saturday, September 16th, with a rain date of September 23.
The first Bruce Rogers/Bob Miller promoted Thunder on the Hill show, one of several planned for the season, will occur on May 28th and will feature 358/Big Block Modifieds (40 laps), Sportsman, and Mid-Atlantic Series Sprints.
Grandview Speedway continues to shine as one of the most prosperous dirt short track operations in the nation. The one-third-mile, banked clay oval is conveniently located on Passmore Road, just off Route 100 in Bechtelsville, PA, a mere 10 miles north of Pottstown.
