VONDOHREN, SCHUTZ AND B. HIRTHLER LEAD NASCAR POINT STANDINGS AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

        18 DIFFERENT FEATURE WINNERS IN 21 FEATURE RACES SO FAR THIS SEASON

BECHTELSVILLE, PA June 14, 2017 . . . Racers at Grandview Speedway, the NASCAR sanctioned one-third-mile, banked clay track in Bechtelsville, PA, could very well be on their way to the most competitive season in the track’s 55 year history. After seven weeks of Saturday night racing events, 21 features presented, there have been 18 different winners. Only Late Model racer Ron Kline, with three wins, and Sportsman talent Ryan Lilick, with two wins, have been able to win more than once.

       TP Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified point leader Craig VonDohren, going for his 10th track title, has not won a feature race nor have standouts such as Duane Howard, Jared Umbenhauer, Ray Swinehart, Mike Gular and many others.

                VonDohren continues to set the pace in points with 1985 counters followed by Jeff Strunk with 1959 and Duane Howard with 1738. Only Strunk has made it to victory lane.

         However Howard has to be considered a strong threat for the Saturday night win as he comes off the Tuesday, June 13, victory with the 358 Modifieds at the Thunder on the Hill show that rewarded him with a $3,000 payoff.

                Chuck Schutz is on top in the BRC Late Models with 1636 points giving the multi-time champion a slight edge over three feature winner Ron Kline who has 1565. Steve Todorow sits in third with 1534 points followed by Bryon Sipe’s 1507 points.

                And Brian Hirthler is still the leader in the Sportsman with 1431 counters. Hirthler has one win. Ryan Beltz is second with 1263 points and in third is two feature winner Ryan Lilick 1259.

On Saturday, June 17th, the NASCAR TP Trailers 358 Modifieds, Sportsman and BRC Late Models will be in action as the battle for the various titles continue. And fans and racers will get to see if  there are new winners added to the growing list. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. and racing starts at 7:30 p.m. Adult admission is $15 and youngsters 6 through 11 are admitted FREE.

There has been a change made in the June 24th Bechtelsville Car Wash Night with the Blast from the Past Vintage cars removed from the night’s racing and moved to July 8th. The June 24th show will include TP Trailers 358 Modifieds, Sportsman and Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series sprinters and just added is Bechtelsville Car Wash Cash Dash for Modifieds. Admission is $18 for adults.
