LEVAN MACHINE & TRUCK EQUIPMENT PRESNT THE RICH MAR FLORIST

KUBOTA HIGH LIMIT 410 SPRINTS AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY TUESDAY NIGHT, MAY 28

 

 

BECHTELSVILLE, PA    APRIL 30, 2024   . . . . . . The Kubota High Limit 410 sprints are heading to the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, May 28 to open the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series of 2024.     Levan Machine & Turck Equipment of Fleetwood, PA present the Rich Mar Florist 35-lap 410 sprint main event that will pay $20,000 to winner.  The Tuesday night, May 28 event will get underway at 7:30 PM,

 

Advance tickets are now available at: www.tickethoss.com.   General admission tickets on race night are $40, children 6-11 are $20, children 5 and under will be admitted for free.   The Pit Fee is $45 and a license is not required.   (Pit tickets are not available on Ticket Hoss).

 

Also on the program will be a warm-up session and a 15-lap feature for both the Modified and Sportsman Vintage cars.    These two feature events will provide some added entertainment during the show when the 410 sprints require some additional time to prep for their next event. Our goal remains to have an efficiently run show that is completed by 10 PM.  

 

As part of this big event, Thunder on the Hill and Kubota High Limit Racing will honor the Keystone State Quarter Midget Racing Club that race in Schnecksville, PA.   The popular quarter midget racers will have a pre-race display and take part in opening night ceremonies on Tuesday, May 28.

 

The Grandview Speedway weekly Saturday night racing program has already opened for 2024 with nothing short of excellent track conditions to start off the season.    

 

This is a rare occasion and certainly a special treat for race fans of the Tri-State Area as the Kubota High Limit sprints have limited dates here in the northeast.  In fact, Grandview is just one of two tracks in the area hosting the national 410 sprint touring division.

 

Rico Abreu currently has a hold on the Grandview Speedway, winning the last two events he competed in at the one-third mile high banked oval.    Another driver to watch is Corey Day of Clovis, CA who is currently red hot on the Kubota High Limit Series. 

 

Tyler Courtney is no stranger to the fastest “bull ring” in the East and he’ll be in the field along with multiple World of Outlaw Champion Brad Sweet.  Brent Marks, Jacob Allen and Anthony Macri all  have strong roots here in Pennsylvania.  Marks, Allen and Marci are also looking for their first Thunder on the Hill victory.

 

As an added incentive for the local drivers, Pioneer Pole Buildings posted a $2,000 bonus for any Pennsylvania sprint car driver that takes the win in the 35 lap Kubota High Limit 410 Sprint event. 

 

The PPB $2,000 bonus is an added eye catcher to lure the best of Pennsylvania to the Hill.   Just a few of the local drivers with their eye on the bonus include Danny Dietrich, Freddie Rahmer, TJ Stutts, Tim Buckwalter, Kyle Reinhardt, Lance Dewease, Tyler Ross, Kyle Moody, Ryan Taylor, Tyler Esh and Ryan Smith just to name a few.

 

On race night, Tuesday, May 28 gates will open at 4:00 PM at the first turn gate for advance ticket holders and general admission tickets will go on sale at 4:30 PM.   Qualifying begins at 7:30 PM.     In the event of rain, Wednesday night, May 29 will be the rain date with a starting time of 7:30 PM.

PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SCHEDULES THE BROTHER BRETT CLASSIC ON AUGUST 16TH

 

(Perris, CA, April 28, 2024) During the intermission at last Saturday’s Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car race at Perris Auto Speedway, promoter Don Kazarian announced to the fans that the 30-lap main event at the August 16th California Racers Hall of Fame Night will be known as “The Brother Brett Classic.”  Thus, the official title of the event will be, “The Brother Brett Classic on California Racers Hall of Fame Night.” 


 

“Brother” Brett Taylor had been at the Perris Auto Speedway and the Ventura Raceway for years.  Amongst the drivers, crews, fans, and series officials, he is one of the most popular persons ever involved in open-wheel racing in Southern California.  In the pits and the stands, he greeted and chatted with everyone and his love of racing ran deep.   

 

“It was a crushing blow to everyone involved in sprint car racing in Southern California when Brett passed away on March 18th,” promoter Don Kazarian said.  “He knew everyone and everyone was his friend.  When he walked up to you, it put a smile on your face.  He would enter a team’s pit area and immediately everyone would start smiling.  Even if someone were down, a visit from Brett would lift their spirits.  He is sorely missed by everyone.”

 

Before last Saturday’s race, Perris Auto Speedway honored the longtime racing worker/fan with memorial laps.  With all of the drivers and crews standing by the crash wall and all of the fans standing, Matt Mitchell, one of Brett’s favorite drivers, turned laps on the half-mile oval.  There were a lot of wet eyes on the track and in the stands while the ceremony was taking place.

 

“Brett would come into my office and ask me for something to do,” Kazarian recalled.  “On his own, he would collect money for the push truck drivers to help them with their expenses.  When we had fundraising drives for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, Brett would get a helmet and collect money.  He was always there for whatever you needed.  He was the happiest and most honest person you could ever hope to meet.”

 

“Having the Brother Brett Classic at the California Racer’s Hall of Fame Night is a natural,” Kazarian continued while talking about his friend. “All of his buddies and heroes who currently race cars will be here.  A bunch of guys he loved and who loved him from days gone by will also be on hand.”

 

Several nights of racing will take place before the August 16th date and the first will be this Saturday, May 4th, when LKQ Pick Your Part Presents the “Craziest Show On Dirt,” Night of Destruction.  Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the crashing will commence at 7:00.  Adult tickets for Saturday’s fast paced show that is usually over between 9:30 and 9:45 are $20.00.  For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free.  The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.  Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day at tix.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849.  If you do not wish to buy advance tickets, no problem at all.  There will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window beginning at 5:00 on Saturday.
