Dog Hollow Reschedules UFo “Shawn McGarvey Championship” to Sunday, June 14
Mars, PA — After an excellent field of 32 UFo Super Late Models had registered at Dog Hollow Friday night, monsoon-type rains moved through flooding the race track. Promoter Dan Savino was forced to postpone the UFo “Shawn Sheetz McGarvey Championship” to Sunday, June 14.
On Sunday, the pit gates will open at 3:30, with grandstands opening at 5:00, pill draw cutoff at 5:30 and action starting at 6:00. Since the program was declared a complete rainout, the program will be reset from the beginning including new pill draw registration. Any new drivers may enter.
The “Shawn Sheetz McGarvey Championship” will showcase the UFo Super Late Model feature paying $3,000 to win and $250 to start. This event honors the 7-time Dog Hollow champion and all-time feature winner at the track. Shawn also holds other track titles and feature wins as well as finishing fifth in the inaugural UFo Championship.
The UFo Super Late Models will compete in a 41-lap feature at Dog Hollow. Dog Hollow has become a Friday night Super Late Model power in the region, with large fields of cars at every race this season. Dog Hollow has also stepped up their Super Late Model program featuring five championship events for the season including the “ThunderDog Showdown” fall mega-event. The excellent surface at Dog Hollow has been producing three and four wide racing this year. CARS Crate Late Models, Pure Stocks and Sidewinder four cylinders will also be in competition June 12.
The UFo “Shawn Sheetz McGarvey Championship” will include bargain family pricing with no increase in that ticket package from regular shows. A family with two adults and two children between ages 7-12 will be admitted for $30 including two hot dogs and two drinks. A family with two adults and three children between agest 7-12 can purchase a ticket for $35 including three hot dogs and three drinks. Students 13-17 will be admitted for $8 and children 7-12 will be admitted for $6, which represents the same pricing as a weekly show.
Special event ticket pricing will apply to other ticket prices. Grandstand admission will be $17 and senior citizens $15. All pit passes will be $32. Super Late Model entry fee will be $25, which will be deducted from final payoff from the track. Pit gates will open at 4:30, with grandstands at 6:00 and racing at 7:30. Pill draw cutoff and drivers meeting will be approximately 6:45. Rain date for this event will be Sunday, June 14.
