Double Modified Features This Saturday Night At Grandview Speedway
 
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – Double the action this Saturday night at Grandview Speedway!
 
The 358 NASCAR Modifieds will be in the spotlight this Saturday night at Grandview Speedway, when they will be running TWO 30-lap feature races as part of a NASCAR Weekly Series program which also includes the Sportsman starting at 7:30 pm.
 
The show on Saturday, July 20 will include qualifying events for both classes leading into a 30-lap 358 Modified feature, a 25-lap feature for the Sportsman, plus the remainder of the 358 Modified portion of the June 29th race program that was cut short by rain, which includes the remaining laps of qualifying heat number four, two consolations and a 30-lap feature event.
 
The portion of the program held over from June 29th will be the first events run on the program Saturday evening before moving into a complete new two-division race program, so fans should plan accordingly not to miss any of the great action on the high-banked one-third-of-a-mile speedway.
