BECHTELSVILLE, PA JUNE 10, 2026 . . . . . . Plan on a big night of action and entertainment Tuesday night, June 16 at the Grandview Speedway when the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment Thunder on the Hill Racing Series presents the Alpine Building Supply USAC Non-Wing Sprints and 358 Modifieds in a spectacular Double-header. In addition, country artist, Billy McGowan will be performing as well. Gates open at 5 PM and heat race qualifying will get underway at 7:30 PM.
Come early and visit the many USAC driver merchandise trailers in the parking lot and enjoy the pre-race entertainment of old school and contemporary country music by Billy McGowan from 4:30 PM to 6 PM. When the music ends, hold on to your seat as the USAC Non-Wing 410 Sprint Cars and 358 Modifieds take the stage of the one-third mile Grandview Speedway. Without a doubt, two of the most exciting divisions clash in a Thunder on the Hill classic event.
