Evergreen’s “King of the Green” Info Released- $4,000 to win for Tour Modifieds
St. Johns, PA- Evergreen Raceway’s biggest weekend of the season is quickly approaching and their first annual King of the Green event is expected to be big for fans and racers alike, as a top prize of $4,000 will go to the winner of the season-ending 100-lap Tour Type Modified main event on Sunday, October 16. For years past, the annual weekend event has showcased the talent of some of the best racers around and with extended lap races and larger purses for the divisions on the weekend’s card of racing, the show is destined to be the absolute best of the season.
Similar to past seasons under the Mountain Speedway banner, each division will qualify and run their respective feature events on the same day, and all divisions throughout the weekend will be awarded 100 championship points for taking the green flag in the feature, The Late Models, Tour-Type Modifieds and Evergreen Modifieds will qualify via time trials. The method of qualifying for all of the other divisions will be through heat races and a consi, if needed.
The weekend will kick off at the 1/3-mile asphalt oval near Hazleton, PA on Friday, October 14 with open practice for all divisions. The evening practice time is slated to run from 4 PM to 8 PM (or dark) and the pit admission is set at $20. One hour of Friday’s practice (from 5 PM to 6 PM will be for Tour Type Modifieds only). Grandstand admission for practice is free for all ages.
In an effort to keep the cost down for both Tour Type Modified competitors, a five tire rule will be in effect for the weekend, meaning that the Tour-Type Modified driver must qualify and race in the feature on the same set of Hoosier track tires. Drivers will be allowed to change a maximum of one tire during a competition yellow flag on lap 50 of the Tour-Type Modified main event. Green flag pitting is prohibited.
Evergreen Modified drivers will have a four tire rule for their feature, which means that the driver must start the feature on the same tires that he or she qualified on. The Evergreen Modifieds must compete on the Hoosier track tire.
Saturday, October 15 will feature a 50-lap $1,500 to win main event for the Evergreen Modifieds. The Dirt Modifieds, Factory Stocks, and Four Cylinders are also on the card for an exciting day of action. The pit gates will swing open at 10 AM and practice will kick off at 12:30 PM. Qualifying will start at 2 PM. The grandstands will open at 12:30 PM.
The Modifieds will compete for the $4,000 prize on Sunday, October 16, plus the Late Models, Street Stocks, INEX Legends and Bandoleros will also be in action for extended lap main events. The pit gates will swing open at 10 AM and practice will kick off at 12:30 PM. Qualifying will start at 2 PM. The grandstands will open at 12:30 PM.
All purses are based on a full field of 20 cars taking the green flag in the feature. If less than 20 cars take the green, the purse will be prorated.
Pit admission for Saturday or Sunday is $50.
Grandstand admission is $20 for Saturday and $25 for Sunday. Fans can purchase a special two-day event grandstand pass for $40. As always, children 10 years of age and younger will be admitted into the grandstand area for free.
All entrants will draw for heat race or time trial starting positions on race day. Twenty cars will start feature events, and if needed, consi races will be run.
