Mahoning Valley Speedway is gearing for an exciting action filled night of racing at the bullring quarter mile paved oval with the first installment of the Triple 25s on Saturday, April 28. Race time is 6:00 p.m.
It is a format derived by promoter Floyd Santee and taken from his days at Dorney Park Speedway and also designed to put money in the racers pockets and thrills in the stands.
Each 25-lap feature will pay $1000-to-win. In order to make the grid all cars must time trial with the top 14 locked into the first feature. All others will then run in a B Main with the top six advancing.
The second and third features will be inverted with a fan from the grandstand picking a pill to determine the invert number which will be either 6,7,8,9,10, 11 or 12.
Eligible invert cars must have finished on the lead lap after the most recent completed feature. Alternates will be added as needed after features one and two and if a car that started the first main and is sidelined for the second but can return for the third race then the alternate will be displaced.
Each car will receive 50 show-up points with a qualifying attempt.
After the first and second feature all cars will be pitted in the staging area.
There will be a $6000 purse to be divided amongst the top point finishers in the Mahoning Modified Madness Series after the final race on October 6. The champ will earn $2000 with $1500 to the runner-up, $1000 for 3rd, $700 for 4th, $500 for 5th and $300 to 6th plus all regular monies being paid for each night of racing in those respective shows means some very satisfactory walks to the payout window.
Opening Night winner Zane Zeiner gave fans a taste of what the Triple 25s will be like when he battled with the likes of defending track champion Tyler Haydt, Don Wagner, Earl Paules and John Bennett in a hard fought distance of 35 laps.
“I think that was a good indication as to what the Triple 25’s will be like, an all-out sprint starting heads up for the first race of that night,” said Zeiner. “That’s why I came out on Opening Night to get a little bit under my belt and see what goes down.”
Aside from the aforementioned there will a number of other top stars looking to cash in on all three features.
Also on the card that evening will be the Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods, 4-Cylinder Stocks and the season opening race for the Micro Stock Racing Series.
The Mahoning Modified Madness Series events will also take place on June 16 and August 11, both Triple 25s format and a 100-lapper paying $3000-to-win at the season finale on October 6.
