25TH ANNUAL PENNSYLVANIA SPRINT CAR SPEED WEEK

19/06/2015

$250,000 PAYOFF FOR 25TH ANNUAL PENNSYLVANIA SPRINT CAR SPEEDWEEK OFFERING NINE SPRINT CAR RACES IN TEN DAYS, OPENS FRIDAY JUNE 25 AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

 

York Haven, Pa.....The 25th Annual Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek is set to begin on Friday evening June 25 at the Williams Grove Speedway.  Nine Sprint Car races in ten days will offer  over $250,000 in purse money.

 

 In addition, thanks to sponsorship from Jake’s Wayback Burgers and associate sponsorship from Trone Outdoor Advertising, the 25th edition of Speedweek will also offer a $25,000 point fund.

 

 Last year’s Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek point series went down to the final laps of the final race, with plenty of drama thrown in for good measure.  Lucas Wolfe drove the Zemco Sprinter to last year’s Speedweek title by just six points over Greg Hodnett and the Michael Heffner team.

 

 Wolfe had all kinds of ups and downs on that final night of Speedweek at Selinsgrove.  His night started with a rollover in warmups.  However, the Zemco team went to work and repaired the car for time trials, where Wolfe set fast time.  In the process of setting fast time Wolfe suffered engine problems, and then missed his heat race while the team changed engines.  Wolfe rebounded in the feature to finish fifth, while Hodnett crossed in seventh place.

 

 After Friday’s $5000 to win show at Williams Grove, Speedweek moves to Lincoln Speedway Saturday June 27 for the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial Race worth $7000 to the winner.  From there it’s on to Path ValleySunday June 28 where promoter Fred Rahmer will offer $5000 to win.

 

 After taking Monday June 29 off, Speedweek hits full force with a $5000 to win show on Tuesday at Grandview Speedway, part of the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series.   Wednesday the series moves to   Hagerstown and Thursday night at Lincoln.   The “Crown Jewel” of Speedweek is Friday July 3, with $10,000 to win the Mitch Smith Memorial Race at Williams Grove.

 

 Speedweek moves into it’s final weekend of 2015 with Port Royal’s $5000 win event on Saturday July 4, and then wraps up with the Jan Opperman / Dick Bogar Memorial Race at Selinsgrove on Sunday July 5.

 

 The new $25,000 point fund will offer $10,000 for the champion.  Second place pays $5000, with $3000 for third, $1500 for fourth, and $1000 for fifth.  Sixth through tenth offer $900, $800, $700, $600, and $500.  The top four drivers who attempt to compete in every event, but don’t crack the top ten in the final point standings will each get $250.
