All regular track classes in action…Pocono Raceway ticket giveaways

There’s no doubt fans and racers alike from Lehighton’s Mahoning Valley Speedway are ready to get back into the swing of things, especially after back-to-back weather related cancellations.

They will all get that opportunity this coming Saturday night, May 28 when the track presents a six division program of Modifieds, Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods, Pro 4s and Hobby Stocks. Start time is 6:00 pm.

Highlighting the evening will be the second leg of the American Rental Street Stock Gamblers Series. The $1000-to-win, 75-lap feature is part of the six-race series for the Street Stocks that pays bonus money throughout the selected races. Played out in a poker game format, monetary prizes of $800, $500, $400, $300 and $200 correspondingly will be paid to the top six in the series drivers.

Heading into Saturday’s race defending division champion Zach Graver holds an Ace after scoring a victory in race number one on April 16. Josh Mooney, Jon Moser, Jason Kuhn and Stacey Brown are next in line with a King, Queen, Jack and 10 respectively.
