Street Stocks vying for $1200-to-win plus lap money in Bowers Memorial at Mahoning Valley Speedway
This coming Saturday night, June 2, at Lehighton’s Mahoning Valley Speedway, the Gene Bowers, Sr., Memorial 100 for Street Stocks will be the highlight feature on the evening’s card of stock car racing. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing starting at 6:00 p.m.
The race was originally billed as a $1000-to-win, however, promoter Floyd Santee has decided to up the winner’s take by another $200. There is also lap money being collected to help boost the night’s take. 22 cars will start the feature with $100 to take the green. Time trials will be used to set the grid.
In last year’s Bowers Memorial, Kevin Smith led all 100 laps and collected over $2200, making it the highest paid race for a winner of a Mahoning Street Stock feature.
It’s a wide open field heading into Saturday’s race. In the first five features there have been as many different winners which include Jason Kuhn, Jason Frey, point leader Randy Ahner, Jr., Josh Mooney and 12-year old sensation Kyle Strohl.
While those aforementioned will be looking to repeat in this prestigious event, there is a strong contingent of others, led by reigning class champions TJ Gursky, Todd Ahner, Gene Bowers, Jr., and Chris Parry to name a few who will be seeking glory. Smith will also be looking to repeat his stellar run of a year ago.
Modifieds, Late Models, Dirt Mods, 4-Cylinder Stocks and the 4c Super Mods will also be on the docket.
In two weeks it will be Baltimore Life Insurance Fan Appreciation Night at the speedway. Adult general admission is $8.
