The Modified 4-16s will take place this Saturday, August 10 at Mahoning Valley Speedway.
This will be the third running of the event that pays tribute to the past multi-time Modified track champion and more so a friend to all who crossed paths with him. Teel passed away in 2012. He won Modified titles in 1988, 1990 and 2000. He was also the 2011 Modified car owner champion with Tyler Haydt. A dedicated group, led by Dene Smith, along with Mahoning Valley Speedway, have once again worked tirelessly to present this race in Bill’s name and in turn award the participants with a respective purse and contingencies. This will be a non-point race, however there will be “50 show-up” points towards the regular season standings. A redraw after each feature, picked by the winner of each 16 lapper, will set the field for the races that follow. An overall champion will be crowned after the four races have been run. Also on the card that evening will be Street Stocks, Pro 4s and Hobby Stocks. Race time is 6:00 pm. Front gates open at 4:00 pm. Adult grandstand admission is $18, $2 off for students, seniors 65+ and active military. Children under 10 are free.
Pits will open at 11:30 am. Early paid practice ($25 per car) will be from 12:30 to 3:30. Regular warm-ups begin at 4:15. Pit admission $30 members, $40 non-members. Driver sign-ins will be from 3:00 to 4:15. Heats get underway starting at 6:00.
The speedway will be hitting the local fair circuit in the upcoming weeks. August 5-10 they will be in attendance with a display at the Carbon County Fair in Palmerton, Pennsylvania and then the week of August 18-24 at The West End Fair in Gilbert. Also, August 17-18 Mahoning Valley will have their show cars exhibited at Pocono Raceway for the ABC Supply 500 NTT IndyCar Series Race.
