Mahoning Valley Speedway’s top two classes, Modifieds and Late Models, will see plenty of track time this coming Saturday night, June 30 as both divisions will be running twin features.

Starting at 5:30 p.m., make-up races from June 3 will take to the track first to be followed by a complete program of qualifying heats and regularly scheduled events for all track classes.

There is no additional charge either as adult grandstand admission is $12 for two 35-lap Modified features and two 25-lap Late Model features.

The night’s card will also consist of the Street Stocks, Dirt Mods and 4-Cylinder Stocks plus the touring Micro Stock Racing Series group will join in on the action.

Mahoning Valley Speedway “Kids Banner Night” is also this Saturday. The contest will be broken down into four age groups, 4 and under, 5-7, 8-10, 11-12. All entries should be brought to the track that night. Prizes will be awarded to each winner. Complete details are on the track website.

Heading into this week’s show Palmerton’s Earl Paules continues to hold down the point lead in both Modified and Late Model standings. He finished second to Bobby Jones in last Saturday’s Modified race and was also runner-up with the Late Models which was won by Rick Wallace.

The Street Stocks are coming off a week of twin features that saw a season high 29 cars and likewise with the Dirt Mods which hit the double digit car counts. In the 4 Cylinder Stocks 12-year old sensation Kyle Strohl won for the second time in what has become one of the best assembled fields in years.

And when the Micro Stocks hit the track this week it is expected that a 20 car field will be on hand and all will be gunning for Bob Wagner who has not lost a race since June 9.

Main gates open at 4:00 with first feature rolling off at 5:30.

There will be early practice for interested drivers from 1:30 to 3:30.
