Grandview Speedway Announces NASCAR Sanction Once Again for 2024, 33rd Consecutive Season

Race Drivers, Owners, and Crew Members Can Apply for 2024 NASCAR Licenses Online Now
2024 Season Will Open April 6 With VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – Continuing a tradition that began in 1992, Grandview Speedway will once again be part of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series for the upcoming 2024 racing season.

Being sanctioned under the NASCAR umbrella for over three decades now, the 2024 race season will be the 33rd consecutive year that Grandview Speedway participants will be enjoying the benefits of being NASCAR members. Benefits include racing for the NASCAR point fund money which is available for the National, Regional, State, and Track championships, as well as the great insurance coverage provided by NASCAR.

Just last season, Grandview Speedway NASCAR Modified Track Champion Brett Kressley picked up not only $10,000 from the track in championship point fund money, but received $3500 from NASCAR for winning the Track championship, another $7000 for being the NASCAR Northeast Region runner-up, $1500 for being the NASCAR Pennsylvania State Champion, an OMP Firesuit valued at $2000, and a new track champion Bell Helmet.

Several other Grandview Speedway drivers with top finishes in NASCAR Northeast Regional points included Mike Gular (3rd), Jeff Strunk (6th), Craig Von Dohren (7th), and Doug Manmiller (9th).

In NASCAR Northeast Region points for the Sportsman in Division II, Track Champion Logan Watt finished (3rd), Brian Hirthler (9th), and Kyle Smith (10th).

As has always been the case, all participating drivers at Grandview Speedway must have a NASCAR license to be able to race and collect point fund money, with the Modified drivers listed as Division I, and the Sportsman drivers competing under Division II.

Grandview Speedway management does encourage everyone to purchase a NASCAR license to enter the pit area for the outstanding extra insurance coverage, however, you will be allowed to enter the pit area as a non-member for an increased admission. Those holding a NASCAR license will receive the extra insurance coverage and enter the pits at a discount at all sanctioned events. Car Owners and crew members can purchase their memberships the same as they have in the past if they desire the same coverage.

Grandview Speedway track officials are also reminded that as in past seasons, they are still required to purchase their NASCAR memberships as well.

Everyone can begin to apply for their NASCAR membership license at this time, and avoid the lines on Opening Day by applying online at https://license.nascar.com/. If anyone has any difficulty purchasing their license please email: weekly@nascar.com.

Speedway management is still offering the always popular season passes. The grandstand passes cover all Saturday night events, from the Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker Season Opener through to the Freedom 38 Sportsman and Freedom 76 Modified championship races in September. The season pass does not include the Rogers Family/Bob Miller-promoted Thunder on the Hill special events, or the Outlaw Racing Series Enduro/Vintage events.
