BECHTELSVILLE, PA September 3, 2019 . . . The popular Blast from the Past Vintage racers are part of another tripleheader show on Saturday, September 7 along with the T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds and T.P.Trucks NASCAR Sportsman racers at Grandview Speedway. Racing gets the green at 7:30 p.m. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Last Saturday’s Sportsman feature winner Brad Arnold and Modified racer Ron Kline, who enjoyed his best effort of the season last Saturday, will have their cars on display and will be meeting fans as part of the weekly Low Down and Dirty Meet & Greet starting at 5 p.m.

Duane Howard, the five time Modified champion, continues to lead the standings with 4608 points. Brett Kressley has moved into second with 4197 counters followed by ten time champion Craig Von Dohren at 4192. Doug Manmiller holds fourth with 3872 followed by Rick Laubach’s 3834. In Sportsman competition Brad Brightbill is the man to beat with 3707 points.

Eighteen races have been completed in each division.

The final NASCAR point races of the season are set for Saturday, September 14 as WNPV-AM Radio Champion’s Night is presented. The T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds and T.P.Trucks Equipment Sportsman will battle it out for the lucrative championships and top point finishing positions.

Fans will have the opportunity to win pairs of tickets for the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup race, October 6, at Dover International Speedway along with a four pack of “ride all day with coaster” tickets to the popular Knoebel’s Park, America’s largest free admission park which features the #1 Wooden Roller Coaster in the world, the Phoenix, all courtesy of WNPV.

Bound to get more attention for the Friday, September 20th is the fact that the Freedom 38 Sportsman race will be paying $2,000 to win with the top finishing Crate racer earning an extra $100. There is no license required and there is no entry fee. The Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series will also be part of the doubleheader show along with practice for the Modifieds entered in the Saturday Freedom 76.

Lap sponsorships and heat race sponsorships for the September 21st Freedom 76 are available $20 for laps and $200 for a heat race. Check in with Tina Rogers or Tommy Kramer at the track.

Doug Manmiller Electric and Stoudt Auto Sales have signed up to sponsor qualifying heat races along with BFP Specialties and Bashore Trucking while T.P.Trailers and Truck Equipment are sponsoring ten laps.

And don’t forget that advance tickets are on sale for the 49th Annual Freedom 76 set for September 21. Buy in advance and pay $35 while on race day an adult ticket will run $40.

Enduro fans should get out their calendar and mark down these dates. Enduro and Vintage racing happens at Grandview on Saturday, September 28th, as long as it is not needed as a rain date for the Freedom 76, and again on Sunday, October 20 (a demo derby is included with this one).
