Port Royal – Port Royal Speedway will present Race To Cure Cancer Night this Saturday, April 12 at 6 pm.

 

On the racing card will be the Aumiller’s Insurance 410 sprints, the Jakes Golf Carts super late models and the Gray’s Auto and Towing 355-econo late models.

 

The econos will make their debut as a new division this season, replacing the pro stocks of years gone by.

 

General admission gates will open at 4 pm with adult general admission set at just $15 and youth ages 12 – 18 priced at JUST $5.

 

Fifty-cents of every general admission ticket sold for the event will be given to the State College chapter of the American Cancer Society.

 

A special auction of a pink five-gallon fuel container donated by B and R Farm Equipment of Beavertown and Milroy will be held during the night in front of the grandstand.

 

The canister will carry the signatures of numerous drivers from the Port Royal pit area.

 

The 2014 season got started in rip-roaring fashion on April 5 when Blane Heimbach won out in a duel with Chad Layton to claim the opening day sprint main while Tim Wilson battled door to door through the final corners to overtake Brett Schadel for the late model victory.

 

April 19 at 6 pm will be Kids Easter Night at the speedway with free chocolate rabbits going to the first 200 youth entering the grandstand.

 

An Easter Egg scramble will be held in the infield just after warm-ups.  And the Easter Bunny himself will be in attendance.

 

Racing will include the 410 sprints, late models and 305 sprints.
