PPMS Memorial Day Weekend
Action
PITTSBURGH, PA — Get ready for a Modisaurus Memorial Day Weekend as the stars of the Hoosier Tires/BRP Modified Tour are set to invade “Dirt’s Monster Half Mile” this Saturday, May 25th.
“This event has been very well received the past several years,” commented Speedway Owner Matt Miley. “It gives the Pittsburgh area fans the opportunity to see the New York style Big Block Modifieds and it also provides the Mod Tour drivers with an opportunity to compete at a different venue.”
Randy Chrysler scored a very popular victory last year in his first ever appearance at PPMS. The New York resident, who was definitely considered an underdog, defeated 2011 Modisaurus Champion Kevin Bolland and Rex King, Sr. in the 30 lap main event.
The Modisaurus event began in 2009 and saw Bolland capturing the victory. Jeremiah Shingledecker scored the Modisaurus laurels in 2010 as he led the final four circuits of the A-Main after a mechanical problem sidelined youngster Brad Rapp. Rapp, one of the rising young stars with the Series’, will definitely be looking to score his first ever Mod Tour victory here at the Imperial oval.
Rex King, Sr., who captured his first ever victory at PPMS last September is also expected to be in competition as are his son Rex King, Jr., Dave Murdick, Steve Feder and Rich Richner.
The 30 lap main event pays $1,500.00 to win with $200.00 to start and PPMS Management will start a maximum of 32 cars in the feature event.
The Super Late Models, Pro-Lates, Late Model Sportsman, Hobby Stocks and Young Guns will also be in action this Saturday.
Precise Racing Products RUSH Pro-Late Model competitors are reminded that the RUSH Series management has decided to allow competitors to use the FT200 and FT400 until May 31, 2013 at all weekly and touring events. From May 31 forward the Crate Racin’ D21 & D55 will be the only allowable tires.
The Pit and Grandstand Admission Gates for this Saturday’s event open at 5:00PM with the first green flag waving promptly at 7:00PM.
