BECHTELSVILLE, PA MAY 9, 2025 . . . . . . . . We are just days away from the High Limit 410 Sprints taking on the Hill at the Grandview Speedway Tuesday night, May 20. Levan Machine & Truck Equipment present the Rich Mar Florist Kubota High Limit 410 Sprints Roto Rooter Mid-Week Series. This event will mark the first event of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series at Grandview. The top 410 Sprint Drivers will be in action at the tricky and often non-forgiving high banked one-third mile clay oval in Bechtelsville, PA.
Expected in the field are past High Limit Thunder on the Hill winners Rico Abreu and PA driver Brent Marks joined by five time World of Outlaw Champion and current High Limit point leader Brad Sweet of Grass Valley, CA, Tanner Thorson of Minden, NV, Kasey Kahne from Enumclaw, WA, Tyler Courtney Indianapolis, IN, Aaron Reutzel of Clute, TX, Daison Pursley of Loctus Grove, OK, Spencer Bayston of Lebanon, IN, Justin Peck from San Diego, CA and two Rookie drivers Danny Sams III of Elkhart, IN and Sye Lynch of Apollo, PA will be making their start with the High Limit Sprints in 2025. And we can’t count out the local drivers that will be on hand shooting for the $20,000 payday. And if a local PA driver again takes the top prize, Alpine Building Supply has posted an additional $2,000 bonus.
The Rich Mar Florist Kubota Hight Limit 410 Sprints presented by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment will open with Time Trials, a series of qualifying events all leading up to the Rich Mar Florist Kubota High Limit 35 lap feature event. In addition to the $20,000 first prize the twenty-four car starting field will earn a minimum of $1,500 to start the main event. Also on the program will be the Alpine Building Supply Vintage Cars competing in two 12 lap events. This tight and racy one-third mile oval is a favorite stop on the High Limit Tour and always thrills the fans.

General admission tickets will go on sale at 5:00 PM and the main gate will open at that time. Warm-ups and time trials will begin at 7PM with the show opening set for 7:30 PM. The opening ceremonies will include local professional Trumpet player Eric Haney as he performs the National Anthem.
