$20,000 WAITS FOR THE WINNER OF THE FORREST ROGERS MEMORIAL PRESENTED BY PPB AT GRANDVIEW ON SATURDAY

Late Models and Sportsman also included in the special night

BECHTELSVILLE, PA August 9, 2012 . . . For a racer not having a good season a win in Saturday’s Forrest Rogers Memorial presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings at Grandview Speedway could turn it into a great season. A victory will reward the winning driver, who is a regular campaigner at the NASCAR sanctioned track, with $20,000. If the winner is a visiting racer the victory will be worth $10,000.
There will be lap money paid to the leader of each lap in the 50-lap Modified event. The Hard Charger in the Modified Classic will receive $100 courtesy of Bobby Gunther Walsh and his sponsors. TP Trailers of Limerick has posted $250 for the winner provided the TP decals are visible on each side of the car.
A significant perk that will go to the winner is a guaranteed starting spot in the $50,000 to win BPG Racing Freedom 76 set for Grandview Speedway on Saturday, September 15th.
With seven different winners in the NASCAR 358 Modified division this season there can be no clear cut favorite though many feel that Duane Howard has a good chance to visit victory lane for his ninth win of the season.
Lurking out of the limelight is nine time track champion Jeff Strunk and six time track champion Craig VonDohren. Neither driver has made it to victory lane this season at Grandview and a win in this rich classic would be very satisfying. VonDohren did come out on top in the recent Bashore/Pepsi Challenge, a one-on-one match race event for the Modifieds.
Others that could be considered as having possibilities at winning include last week’s feature winner Ray Swinehart, two feature winner Doug Manmiller, Meme DeSantis, Mike Gular, Chris Esposito, Jarrad Miller and others.
The Late Models and Sportsman stock cars will also be part of the Saturday, August 11th, racing action.
The first 1,000 paying spectators through the main gate will receive a FREE Forrest Rogers Memorial rally towel courtesy of Pioneer Pole Buildings.
Adult admission for the 42nd Annual Classic is $25 while youngsters 6 thru 12 pay just $10. Children under six are admitted free. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing getting the green at 7:30 p.m.
Lap sponsorships, priced at just $10, are still available and can be had by visiting the track office on race night or contact Ernie Saxton at 215.752.7797 or Esaxton144@aol.com.
Grandview Speedway, a NASCAR sanctioned one-third-mile, banked clay track, is located on Passmore Road in Bechtelsville, PA, just off Route 100 10 miles north of Pottstown. For information telephone 610.754.7688 or check in at www.grandviewspeedway.com

SATURDAY - AUGUST 25 – TSRS SPRINT CARS

FRIDAY – AUGUST 31 – PAIR OF POKER RACES – HAND 4 FOR THE BIG BLOCK MODIFIEDS AND CRATE SPORTSMEN

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ- Normally the Microstock racers usually race on Sundays. This weekend the Microstocks were given a chance to shine in front of a full grandstand Saturday night as well.

The Microstock feature race was a combination of two types of Microstocks; the World Formula Tour Microstocks and the Modified Microstocks (who run on Sundays at Wall Stadium). The Modified Microstocks wore red streamers to separate the two classes.

In the heat race, Tom Ervin came from the rear of the field to win the top spot for the Modified Microstocks and Robin Ervin, who drew pole position, won a side by side battle with Tommy Kosch to win the top spot for the World Formula Microstocks.

In the feature race, Tom Ervin blasted his way to the front to win the Modified Microstock feature win. Way behind him, Robin Ervin and Tommy Kosch battled for the top spot in World Formula. R. Ervin held the lead for 3/4 of the race until she hit a patch of sand and got a bit loose. This allowed Kosch to make the pass for the lead. Kosch went on to win the Feature race for the World Formula class of Microstocks.

The final order of finish in both divisions: Modifieds- Tom Ervin, John Kazmierski, Andrew Shuster; World Formula Tour- Tommy Kosch, Robin Ervin, Marty Kendall, A. Bailey, Kenny Lund, B. Richard.

Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks at Wall Stadium

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ - Tom Ervin won the Modified Outlaw Microstock feature Sunday at Wall Stadium.

Ervin took the lead with a great start at the drop of the green with H. Burd right behind him. Three laps later Ervin had opened up a three-car gap over H.Burd. Ervin’s lead steadily increased as the laps clicked away until halfway when H. Burd got loose and spun in turns three and four while running second.

This bunched up the field once more. On the restart J. Burd lined up outside of Ervin with his father H.Burd behind his son. Ervin took the lead once more but this time the Burds, who teamed up nose to tail, stayed close behind Ervin. With two laps to go, Ervin was able to open a three-car lead as the Burds raced side by side for second position. Seconds after Ervin took the checkered flag, J. Burd out dueled his father H. Burd to take the second spot by a nose.

Final order of finish: Tom Ervin, Jason Burd, Harry Burd Andrew Shuster

M.O.M. races again on August 12th at Wall Stadium. There is no club fee to race with M.O.M., and all Modified Micro Stock drivers are welcome to compete.

Back to Back Rainouts Set Up ‘Friends of Mike’ Labor Day Weekend Double Header

New Egypt, NJ – Mother Nature has certainly not been kind to New Egypt Speedway in the past five days as both F.O.M. events fell victim to the weather. After Saturday’s on and off again thunderstorms and Wednesday’s steady rain, NES management was forced to reschedule their 7th Annual Friends of Mike race yet one more time.

The much-anticipated 100-lap F.O.M. $10,000-to-win Modified event will now take center stage on Labor Day Monday, September 3rd. The Sportsman division will make up the second half of the two-division program, as they will also compete in their own Friends of Mike $1,500-to-win 25-lap event.

“We looked at every possibility of a make-up date this morning, and to be honest this date stood out the most,” offered track manager Danny Serrano. “With no other tracks running a conflicting modified or sportsman event that we are aware of, we felt that this date gives the fans the best chance to see a Friends of Mike Night that they won’t soon forget. A lot of the fans have off that Monday and we’d love for them to spend their day with us here at NES in what has now become one of the most anticipated modified races of the season,” Serrano added.

The Modified portion of the program will remain the same with all drivers drawing for starting positions for the $500-to-win heat races and feature starting spots. The Xtreme Graphics Rogie Rumble III will also be on the docket as 13 drivers will wage war in the one-on-one popular match races. The last man standing will receive a quick $1,000, trophy, and life-size check courtesy of Xtreme Graphics.

The Sportsman segment will see a change from the original scheduled format from July 28. The ‘Invitational’ portion of the program has been dropped. The new format will find the Sportsman competing in an ‘open’ show with all competitors drawing for heat race and feature starting positions. Sportsman heat race winners will receive the traditional F.O.M. bonuses as they have in the past.

The Gift Auction will resume Monday afternoon prior the starting time of 4pm. The annual auction helps raise money that directly goes into the purses for all the divisions for Friends of Mike. Hundreds of framed pictures, gift baskets, NASCAR and Dirt collectibles, and all kinds of racing goodies will all be up for grabs on Monday afternoon.

The Saturday, September 1st schedule for NES has been adjusted accordingly to accommodate the modified teams for Monday’s 100 lap event. The modifieds have now been removed from Saturday’s schedule and have been replaced with the Outlaw Stocks. The Outlaw Stocks will join the Crate-1 Sportsman, TSRS 305 Sprint Cars, and the Fastrak Late Models in a four-division show. The make-up Twin 20 modified feature orginally from April 28 will now be added to the September 8 racing program.

The Outlaw Stock portion of the show has been redesigned as a normal handicapped point show that will now carry the same F.O.M. purse as posted from the original race date. The $1,000-to-win feature will now be increased to 30 laps rather than the originally scheduled 20 laps. The winners of the heat races will receive cash awards in traditional F.O.M. fashion.

The Crate-1 Sportsman, who were already scheduled to compete on September 1, will compete in their Friends of Mike race as well, rather than originally scheduled October 27 date. The Crate-1 drivers will be competing in a 40-lap $1,200-to-win handicapped full point show.

With a busy Labor Day Weekend planned in the tri-state area, NES management is fully aware of the important races taking place throughout the weekend. “I think it’s truly a tremendous weekend to be a race fan in our area, especially with the other big races prior to Friends of Mike,’ suggested the track's general manager.

Any fans that attend Brideport’s Friday night Poker Race, the NES Saturday racing program, or Big Diamond’s Sunday Coal Cracker show will receive a $5 discount (with proof of track’s wristband) at the front gate on Monday.

“We know that the race fans will have many choices to make that weekend. We just wanted to offer a little something to make it easier on them if they want to attend this year’s Friends of Mike Race after visiting their home tracks earlier in the weekend. We're also going to start a little earlier on Monday so we can have the fans and race teams home at a reasonable hour,” added Serrano

All gates will open at 1pm and racing will start at 4pm on Monday, September 3. Adult admission is $30, students 12-15 are $15, and children 11 and under are FREE. Pit admission is $40 no license required. For more information please call the speedway at 609-758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net.

FRIDAY – AUGUST 10 – FAST & FURIOUS FRIDAY ACTION ON THE QUARTER MILE WITH MICROS (270cc & 600cc) AND 4-CYLINDER ENDURO CARS

SATURDAY – AUGUST 11 – $15 GRANDSTAND ADMISSION WITH BIG BLOCK MODIFIEDS, CRATE SPORTSMEN AND OUTLAW STOCK CARS

New Egypt, NJ (July 29, 2012) – After a third round of thunderstorms hit New Egypt Speedway this past Saturday afternoon, the much anticipated annual Friends of Mike event was postponed for the first time in its seven year history. With an already saturated racing surface, and more severe storms predicted throughout the evening, management was left with no other decision but to reschedule Saturday’s racing program.

‘We had everything in place on Saturday. The fans, the cars, the auction, the barbeque, you name it but we just couldn’t control the weather,’ offered a disappointed track manager Danny Serrano. ‘You have no idea how bad we wanted to get this race in on Saturday but it just wasn’t meant to be I guess. We looked at many options for a rain date trying to take NES’s schedule, the driver’s schedules, and the auction into account. After extensive talks we felt it would be best to have it this coming Wednesday, August 1,’ Serrano explained.

This coming Wednesday, August 1 has been set for the Friends of Mike make-up race date. The original schedule of events has been revised in order to accommodate a mid-week racing program. The big block modified 100-lap $10,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start Friends of Mike race will highlight the evening’s festivities. Joining the modifieds will be Outlaw Stock division, where they will compete in a special $1,000 to win 20-lap feature. The Sportsman portion of the originally scheduled July 28 program will be made up a later date soon to be announced.

An all-star studded field of modifieds had already assembled in the pit area on Saturday before the rains came. The state of New York was well represented as Matt Sheppard, Tim McCreadie, Stewart Friesen were in attendance, while Billy Decker, Bobby Varin, and Danny Johnson were en route to the speedway when the official cancellation was made. New Egypt’s own Ryan Godown, David Van Horn, Sammy Martz, and Willie Osmun were just a few of the NES regulars already checked in. NES non-regulars Richie Pratt, Jimmy Horton, Kenny Brightbill, Wade Hendrickson, Gary Tomkins, Ryan Watt, and Rick Laubach are already pre-entered for the 100-lap affair.

The Xtreme Graphics Rogie Rumble III will still be on the docket this coming Wednesday as a dozen drivers will be vying for the ‘winner-take-all’ $1,000 to win match races. Heat races for the modified field will still pay a generous $500 for each 10-lap qualifier.

The popular ‘Chinese Auction’ will once again start the F.O.M. events off on Wednesday afternoon. Lucky fans will be able to take home hundreds of beautiful prizes that will be up for grabs throughout the night in the turn four picnic area.

Both Pit and Front gates will open at 3pm on Wednesday, August 1. Hot laps begin at 6pm with racing scheduled to start at 6:30pm. Adult admission is $30, students 12-15 are $15, and children 11 and under are FREE. Pit admission is $40 no license required (NES DRIVER license holders will be acknowledged as if it were a regular Saturday event). Wristbands from Saturday will be honored at on Wednesday or any other Saturday event for the remainder of the season.
