PITTSBURGH, PA – May 30, 2012 – The month of June kicks off this Saturday at Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway as we present another “Action Event” starring the Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models, Brougher’s Machine Shop FASTRAK/Pro-Late Models, Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTCar Late Model Sportsman, Miley BP Car Wash DIRTcar Hobby Stocks and Imperial Heights Garage DIRTcar Young Guns. The evening’s racing action will be sponsored by the Pittsburgh area NAPA Auto Parts stores.
“We are excited to welcome the Pittsburgh area NAPA Auto Parts store owners back for their second event of the 2012 season,” commented Speedway Owner Matt Miley. “This marks the third year we have partnered with NAPA to provide free grandstand admission to patrons who present $25.00 of qualifying NAPA receipts. It’s definitely an excellent way for the fans to enjoy an exciting night of racing action and also get those “do it yourself” auto repairs done.”
