Tripleheader Stock Car Action Sponsored by Ingersoll Rand Saturday
BECHTELSVILLE, PA July 8, 2015 . . . There have been 20 different feature race winners at Grandview Speedway at the midpoint of the season. In the T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds there have been eight different winners, the BRC Late Models have six winners and the Sportsman have six different winners. To say the season so far has been very competitive would be putting it mildly.

Ingersoll Rand will award a $600 IR Tool package to the feature winners and will have a display of air and cordless tools at the main gate along with a demonstration of a cordless impact tool.

Heading up the action for the Modifieds on Saturday night will be current point leader and all time leading feature winner Craig VonDohren looking to make it two wins in a row having won last Saturday night. In the BRC Late Models six time champion Chuck Schutz will be looking to add another win to his resume and in the Sportsman point leader Brett Kressley will be looking to get back to victory lane. With more than 75 racers on hand last week these three will have plenty of competition has another big field of racers is expected to be on hand.
When the main gate opens at 5:30 p.m. fans will have the opportunity to be part of the Low Down and Dirty Meet & Greet that will feature 358 Modified veteran Glenn “Professor” Strunk and Sportsman rookie talent Ryan Shupp.
