After successful inaugural event in 2018, the Modifieds will once again go topless this Friday night June 14th at the Big Diamond Speedway in a $5000 to win 40-lap main event as part of Savage 61 night. The Insigner Performance Modifieds will race with no roofs, no windows or posts giving the fans a chance to see their heroes twisting the wheel as they maneuver around the smooth dirt track oval. Last year’s topless race produced a slugfest between two of Big Diamond’s best as Craig Von Dohren and Ryan Godown battled until the end with Von Dohren coming out on top. There is nothing to think this year’s race won’t produce the same hard-fought racing as last year with the strong field of modifieds that call Big Diamond Speedway home on Friday nights.
Rules for the modifieds are as follows: Door Post, Roof and Rear Windows must be removed with the top of the quarter panels remaining flat across.
The USS Achey Sportsman division will be in action again this Friday racing a 20-lap feature event. Veteran Doug Hendricks will be looking for his fourth win in a row in the division as the strong field of sportsman look to put a stop to Hendricks winning streak.
With this Friday being Savage 61 night, the Road Runners sponsored by Savage 61 will run for some extra cash with $661 going to the winner of their 20-lap feature. Cornerstone Auto Sales will be also be part of the big night for the Road Runners by sponsoring a cash dash for the division. The Savage 61 Road Runners will also take place in a meet and greet on the front stretch before the running of their feature event.
Filling out the racing card for the evening will be the Eash’s Towing and Recover Street Stocks. The always exciting street stocks will run a 20-lap main event.
