Big Diamond Speedway Practice Postponed to March 27
MINERVILLE, PA (3/20/15): Promoter Jake Smulley has pushed the practice session back to the 27th due to saturated grounds. The first on-track activity of the 2015 season is set for the Schuylkill County track next weekend, with an Open Practice session planned for Friday, March 27. Smulley opted for Friday night in lieu of Saturday so as to not conflict with events at Grandview (Pa.) and Bridgeport (N.J.).
On March 27, gates will open at 6 p.m. Open practice will begin at 7:45 p.m. Grandstand admission is free for the public. Pit admission is $25. All race vehicles, subject to safety inspection, are welcome to participate.
