BECHTELSVILLE, Pa. -- One of the most popular events presented at Grandview Speedway is the doubleheader show that features the United Racing Company sprint cars and NASCAR 358 Modifieds. That doubleheader show happens this Saturday, June 13th, with the green flag being waved at 7:30 p.m.

Heading up the always exciting sprint cars will be point leader Chris Coyle of Wilmington, DE. The veteran racer will be looking for his first win of the season at Grandview but he has been a consistent performer in the four events presented so far and that is the reason he sits on top of the championship chase with the traveling sprint organization.

Multi-time champion Curt Michael will be in the field, about 30 entries expected, along with Trevor Lewis, he won last Saturday at Selinsgrove Speedway. Other top talents scheduled to compete include Kramer Williamson, Michael Carber, JJ Grasso, Davey Sammons and a host of others.

Joining the sprints will be the very competitive NASCAR Whelen All American Series 358 modifieds. Duane Howard is the point leader in the chase for the lucrative track and NASCAR titles. However seven time track champion Jeff Strunk is close behind. An all-star slate of competitors will be in action including Meme DeSantis, Mike Gular, last week’s winner Billy Pauch Jr., Doug Manmiller and a host of others.

The modifieds are enjoying one of their most competitive seasons in a while with nine different feature winners so far and this Saturday could very well produce number 10. This season has produced a couple of new winners, 27 different qualifying event winners, 20 racers that have been in the top five in qualifying events and with all the racers that have made feature qualifying attempts this season only five have fallen short.
The Saturday night doubleheader could very well be one of the most competitive events of the season as the sprints and modifieds produced some great wheel-to-wheel contact sport competition.

A 25-lap feature will top the action for the URC sprints while a 30-lapper will complete the show for the modifieds.

Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing starting at 7:30 p.m. Adult admission is just $20 while youngsters 6 thru 11 are admitted for just $5 and children under six are FREE. Always free parking on the speedway grounds.

Coming up on Saturday, June 20th is a doubleheader show of NASCAR Modifieds and Late Models with a 30-lap Memorial feature topping the show for the Late Models and it will pay $1,000 to win. In addition there will be one-on-one gauntlet racing for the late models.

And on Father’s Day the NEETS Enduro racers will be in action with a 100-lapper for 4 cylinder racers and a 100-lapper for 6/8 cylinder racers. Racing will start at 2:30 p.m.

Grandview Speedway is located on Passmore Road, just off Route 100, in Bechtelsville, PA 10 miles north of Pottstown. For information telephone 610.754.7688 or visit www.grandviewspeedway.com.
