BECHTELSVILLE, PA (July 1, 2018) – Good friend to Grandview Speedway and Thunder on the Hill, Ben Moyer will be remember in a very special way on Tuesday night, July 3rd when the 410 Sprint Speed Week Series and the 358 Modifieds take center stage at the Grandview Speedway.

In the 35 lap 410 sprint feature, the Hard Charger Award will be presented in the memory of Ben Moyer. The award will be 100% funded by race fan donations. Ben lost his heroic battle with cancer on June 5. Ben was a huge supporter of racing in our region as a fan, race team member and pace car driver for the Thunder on the Hill events. Ben worked behind the scenes in many positive ways to enhance the Thunder Series events. Ben was a hard charger in life, so this is a fitting way to remember our good friend.

All funds collected will be awarded to the driver who advances the most positions in the 35 lap sprint feature event. If you would like to make a contribution to the Ben Moyer Hard Charger Award, please contact the Low, Down and Dirty gang at the pre-race Meet & Greet at the front gate of the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, July 3. Others collecting donations include The Beer Hill Gang, Matthew Miller, Scott Diehl, Brian Whippy Whitman, Eric Whitby, Todd Tenetylo and Tim Rutherford. Currently, over $400 has been collected for the Ben Moyer Hard Charger Award and the payoff is expected to go much higher with additional donations to be collected on Tuesday night.

Advance tickets are on sale for this event and may be ordered by calling 443-513-4456. Please provide your name and the number of tickets requested. Tickets may be picked up and paid for on race night after 4:00 PM. Advance ticket holders may enter the grandstands at 4:30 PM, one-half hour before the sale of General Admission tickets. Advance tickets will be available until 9 AM on race day. General Admission tickets go on sale at 5 PM. This event is presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings and is the second race of the season for the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series.

The 410 sprints will open the show at 7:30 PM with time trials followed by heat race qualifying for the 410 sprints and 358 modifieds. The event night cap will be a 35 lap 410 sprint feature paying $7,000 to win as the 358 modifieds will battle for 30 laps in chase of a $3,000 first place prize.

For the sprint cars, top regional drivers are expected as well as some surprise entries from the national racing scene. The modifieds will have a strong roster, highlighted by Craig VonDohren, Brett Kressley, Ryan Watt, Jeff Strunk and Billy Pauch Jr just to name a few.

NASCAR driver Kyle Larson was the winner of this event in 2017, his only victory at a Thunder on the Hill event at Grandview. Ryan Smith, the “Kunkletown Kid” has quickly become a favorite 410 driver for the Grandview crowd. Smith has come so close to scoring that first Thunder win on numerous occasions and he’ll be cheered on by many to lock down that first coveted Thunder on the Hill victory on Tuesday night.

For July 3, Ryan Smith will have his hands full with challenges from Freddie Rahmer Jr., Greg Hodnett, Danny “Double D” Dietrich, Alan Krimes, Brandon Rahmer, JJ Grasso, Lucas Wolfe, Brock Zearfoss, Kyle Moody and Ryan Taylor to name a few.
