FIRECRACKER 40 FOR NASCAR LATE MODELS HEADLINES TRIPLEHEADER RACING ACTION AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA July 6, 2018 . . . The biggest event of the season is here for the NASCAR Late Model stock cars at Grandview Speedway on Saturday when the annual Firecracker 40 takes place.
The format for the Late Model portion of the tripleheader night of racing excitement will have racers run practice hot laps, timed hot laps and the fastest eight will redraw for the 40-lap feature race. However if the car count is 24 or more then there will be qualifying through eight lap heat races with 24 cars starting the Firecracker 40.
Veteran Danny Snyder is leading the points going into this event. Multi-time champion Chuck Schutz has been having a tough season but is expected to challenge for the win. Kyle Merkel, Lou Egrie, Wayne Pfeil and others will be looking to take home the pot of gold.
