After a very successful Fan Appreciation Night, Mahoning Valley Speedway is set for another Saturday night of short track stock car racing this coming June 15.

Taking place will be a complete program of heats and features for Modifieds, Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods, Pro4s and Hobby Stocks. Additionally the open cockpit racers of the 4c Super Modifieds will be making their first Mahoning appearance of the season.

Pit gates open at noon. There will be early paid practice from 12:30 to 3:00 at $25.00 per car. Regular warm-ups will be held from 4:00 – 5:00. Racing begins at 6:00. Adult general admission is $12. $2.00 off for students, seniors 65 + and active military, must have ID. Children 10 and under are free.

Afterwards the speedway will be gearing up for the next event in the Mahoning Modified Madness Series as round two of the special five race series will be presented on Saturday evening, June 22 with the Tripe 25s.

The Triple 25s was introduced last season and became an immediate success. Three 25-lap features, each paying $1000 to win which produce plain flat-out, hard charging action from start to finish in each race.

In order to make the grid cars must time trial with the top 12 locked into the first feature for a straight-up start. All others will then run in a B Main. 22 cars will start each feature.

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 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. 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.

After the first and second feature all cars will be pitted in the staging area. 50 show-up points will be awarded with a qualifying attempt.

The Mahoning Modified Madness Series carries a $6000 purse to be divided amongst the top overall point finishers in the special five race series. 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.

Eric Beers won this year’s first event, a 100-lapper on May 4 and heads into the June 22 show as the Series point leader. Chip Santee, Matt Hirschman, Zane Zeiner, John Markovic and Chuck Hossfeld round out the top six.

Twin-50s on July 27, a 100-lapper on October 5 and the season ending $5000-to-win Octoberfast 130-lapper on October 26 make up the other Madness events.

A complete set up Triple 25s rules and format can be found on the track’s website.
