BECHTELSVILLE, Penn. (January 7, 2017) — Kicking off the 55th consecutive season of auto racing entertainment at NASCAR sanctioned Grandview Speedway will be the first of several doubleheaders featuring the Outlaw Enduro competition and Blast from the Past Vintage Racers on Sunday, March 18th.
Then on Saturday, March 25th the annual Free to the Public Practice Session will feature a variety of classes of auto racing with many using the afternoon as a final test and tune session before their season officially gets underway. The practice sessions will kick off at noon.
The practice day is a great opportunity for fans having or planning to have season passes to pick out their reserved seat for the season. Season passes covering all Saturday events from April through September, are priced at $350. A check payable to Grandview Speedway in an amount covering the cost of all passes being ordered can be sent to 87 Wilt Road, Bechtelsville, PA 19505. Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope to speed up the return of the passes. And season passes will be available on practice day.
NASCAR sanctioned stock car racing will be the main attraction on Saturday nights throughout the season and will feature T.P.Trailers Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman.
The season opener for the NASCAR racers will be Saturday, April 2, 7 p.m.
Admission prices will remain the same as last year with adults paying $15 for a regular Saturday night tripleheader.
Topping the season schedule will be the $25,000 to win Freedom 76 Modified Classic set for Saturday, September 16th with a rain date of September 23.
