Thunder on the Hill Racing Series

June 17th, 2025

EASTERN STORM OPENER STOPPED BY WET GROUNDS, NEXT THUNDER EVENT IS PA SPEED WEEK, TUESDAY, JULY 1 AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA JUNE 17, 2025 . . . . . . When will Mother Nature give us a break? The Tuesday, June 17 USAC Eastern Storm and 358 Modified Doubleheader became just another show of many to be cancelled due to weather conditions. Extreme wet conditions at the track and a miserable weather day with 93% cloud cover, occasional light mist and no sun is preventing the track crew from starting the preparation. There is also a concern for spectators walking in the grandstand area with the very wet grounds. With six consecutive nights of the Eastern Storm there is no opportunity for a rain date. This is very disappointing for Thunder on the Hill and Grandview Speedway, the originators of the USAC return to Pennsylvania back in 2007. We hope the weather cooperates for the continuation of the Levan Machine and Truck Equipment Eastern Storm that will visit Bridgeport on Wednesday, Big Diamond on Thursday, Williams Grove Friday, Port Royal Saturday and Action Track USA on Sunday.

The next NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill event is set for Tuesday night, July 1 when the Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week teams up with the 358 Modifieds for a double header. Gates open at 5 with race time set for 7:30.

We look forward to Alpine Building Supplies being part of this event and hosting the tailgate Party as a pre-race activity.

The very popular Thunder on the Hill Advance ticket process is in place for the Tuesday, July 1 PA Sprint Speed Week and 358 Modified Double Header.

THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES EVENTS AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

Thunder on the Hill Racing Series events are held at Grandview Speedway, one of the most historic and celebrated dirt track venues in the Northeastern United States. Located just east of Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania, Grandview Speedway is a one-third-mile, high-banked clay oval that has hosted continuous professional stock car racing since opening in 1963.

Built by Forrest Rogers and operated by the Rogers family for multiple generations, the speedway has become known for its exciting, close-quarters racing and deep roots in grassroots motorsports. The track features weekly competition in divisions such as Modifieds and Sportsman and hosts a variety of special events and touring series throughout the season.

ABOUT THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES

Born from the vision of Grandview Speedway owner Bruce Rogers, special events promoter Bob Miller and local driving standout Dave Kelly, the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series has become one of the most anticipated traditions on the racing calendar.

Across more than 130 marquee events, nearly $6 million in prize money has been awarded to the region’s top competitors. What began as a single 410 Sprint Car showcase has grown into a premier destination for the sport’s biggest names and national touring series, including the High Limit Sprint Car Series, USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series, World of Outlaws, Super DIRTcar Series and the All-Star Circuit of Champions.

From 358 Modifieds and 360/410 Sprint Cars to USAC Non-Wing Sprints, Sportsman, Late Models, Midgets, Legends Cars and ROC Modified competition, Thunder on the Hill continues to deliver headline-caliber short-track racing at Grandview Speedway.
