T.P.Trailers and Truck Equipment Return as Sponsor of Modifieds and Sportsman
VP Racing Fuels Returning to Support Special Awards for Saturday Night NASCAR Racing Events at Grandview Speedway and 3rd Annual VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Money Maker Modified Season Opener
Full Sked of 2020 Events, More Than Three Dozen, Released; Rule Changes Announced for 2020 Season
Bechtelsville, PA January 2, 2020. . . The 58th consecutive season of stock car racing at Grandview Speedway will get underway on Saturday, March 28th with the annual free-to-the-public practice session. Interest is already growing in the Saturday night racing action which will feature the T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds and T.P.Track Equipment NASCAR Sportsman stock cars plus a number of added attractions.
For the ninth season T.P.Trailers and T.P.Truck Equipment will continue as the major sponsor of the Saturday night NASCAR events.
Each Saturday night feature winner in Modifieds and Sportsman will continue to collect cash bonuses from T.P. of Limerick, PA.
The 3rd Annual VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker, a 75-lapper, for big and small block racers paying $7500 to win will get the actual racing season started on Saturday, April 4. This event will not carry a NASCAR sanction.
Again this year Saturday night racers that use VP racing gasoline will be able to earn great added benefits based on a program announced by track operators, the Rogers family, and VP Racing Fuels.
The top finishing racer in each of the two NASCAR divisions racing at Grandview each Saturday night will be eligible for product awards. For the T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds there is a $150 product award for the top finishing racer that can show he has used VP racing gasoline, had VP decals clearly visible on each side of the race car and has a VP patch on his or her uniform. In the T.P.Truck Equipment Sportman division there will be a $100 product award provided they meet the requirements set for the awards.
In addition VP Racing Fuels is posting a $100 VP product award for the overall Hard Charger out of the two divisions each Saturday night.
VP will also be a banner advertiser on the Grandview website (www.grandviewspeedway.com).
VP Racing Fuels Regional Manager Tim Hogue said, “We are excited to be back at Grandview for another season. We appreciate the support given our product by the racers and we want to show the racers support for their efforts.”
Four important rule changes were announced by tech inspector Ed Scott for the 2020 season. Included are:
1. Gas Modified weight 2350lbs Alcohol cars 2400lbs.
2. Unsealed engines in Modifieds and Sportsman during regular season point races must weigh an additional 150lbs.
3. No portion of Sportsman sail panels may extend forward past the back of the drivers headrest.
4. 604 and 602 crate engines must have 6200 RPM chip.
More than three dozen events are on the 2020 schedule released by the Rogers Family, track operators, with a number of special attractions being included.
