SARVER, Penn. (July 24) - The long awaited finale of the 2nd Annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com is now just a week away. The two-day show was originally scheduled for Friday-Saturday June 27-28, but after a sizzling night of heat race action, day two of the show got washed out both Saturday and Sunday June 29 (the raindate). The new raindate is next Tuesday July 29 and the buzz is beginning to build back up for what promises to be the best dirt late model show of the summer!
All time trial and heat race qualifying results will stand and the fields for the A-Main, B-Mains, and C-Main are set. Any drivers/cars who register to join the show July 29 that were not in competition last month will tail the C-Main based on a random pill draw.
The following drivers are locked into the A-Main, which pays $40,000 and $3000 to start; Shane Clanton, Steve Francis, Earl Pearson Jr., Josh Richards, Darrell Lanigan and Brian Birkhofer will redraw for positions one through six , regional hot shot Coleby Frye will start alongside Brandon Kinzer on row four, Billy Moyer and Donnie Moran on row five, Tim Fuller and Chub Frank on row six, Shannon Babb and local hero Mike Blose start from row seven, another Lernerville local Gregg Satterlee starts beside Chris Madden on row eight, and Jeremy Miller and Tim McCreadie are locked into the event in row nine. The other four positions will be filled by the top two finishers from each B-Main.
Drivers in the B-Main include; Doug Horton, David Scott, Davey Johnson, Rick Eckert, Clate Copeman, Dutch Davies, Mike Knight, Chuck Kennedy, Robbie Blair, John Flinner, Chad Valone, Brent Rhebergen, Josh McGuire, Danny Johnson, Gary Lyle, Jimmy Owens, Matt Lux, Ron Davies, Keith Barbara, Scott Bloomquist, Clint Smith, Tony Burke, Dan Stone, Bob Close, Todd Bachman, John Mollick, Dave Hess Jr., John Blankenship, Vic Coffey and Alex Ferree.
Drivers tentatively scheduled to run the C-Main, (which may be dissolved or expanded based on the number of cars in the pits on Tuesday July 29), include; Jason Covert, Nick Reges, Dane Laraway, Sean Beardsley, Joe Isabell, Lynn Geisler, Ken Schaltenbrand, Ryan Scott, Russ King and Jared Miley.
Tickets and pit wristbands from the original dates will be honored on Tuesday July 29. Actually, they will be upgraded! Any fan with a ticket or wristband from the original race on June 27-28 will be allowed to upgrade to a FREE pit pass and will also receive a $10 voucher good towards the purchase of any GottaRace.com merchandise purchased through their website at www.GottaRace.com.
The offer of a Free Pit Pass upgrade is also being extended to all fans that purchase advance reserved seat tickets between now and this Friday July 25. A limited amount of reserved seats are still available by clicking on the "Buy Tickets Now" link on our website www.Lernerville.com or by calling the speedway office Monday-Friday 9:00AM-4:00PM at (724)353-1511. One-day advance reserved seats are selling for $34 for adults. Senior and student pricing is available. Newly purchased general admission tickets are not eligible for the Free Pit Pass upgrade, but as always, children 10 & under are admitted FREE for general admission seating!
