NASCAR Modified Pit Notes to Follow

The first Thunder on the Hill Racing Series event of the season is this Sunday, May 28. This holiday program features the 358 Modifieds in a special 50-lap feature race titled the ‘Balls to the Wall 50’.

The winner of the 50-lap feature will grab a $5000 payoff, and the leader at laps 20 and 35 will pocket $1500, when the race is stopped and the top four inverted.  So, it becomes a race of strategy to chase the bonus or go for the win. Should the same driver lead laps 20, 35 and then grab the final checker to win, Pioneer Pole Buildings will post a $4000 extra bonus, allowing the 50-lap feature winner to grab a possible total of $12,000 for the victory!

The 602 crate Sportsman will also join the show which starts at 7:30 pm. on May 28, making for a big holiday weekend of racing action.

Then on Saturday, June 3^rd, it will be a 3 division program under the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series banner as the T.P. Trailer Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman will be joined by the Wingless Sprints. The program will consist of qualifying races leading up to the 30-lap Modified, 25-lap Wingless Super Sportsman, and 25-lap Sportsman main events.  Grandstand gate at 5:30 with racing starting at 7:30.
