‘The response fans have had since we announced NDRL’s involvement with the Pittsburgher has been astounding,’ NDRL’s Jason Shank said. ‘We wanted to do something to say thank you to the fans, keeping the lower pre-order ticket prices at the gate is our way of doing that. We want to fill Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway with race cars and fans, sticking with the lower prices at the gate will hopefully do that.’

The ‘Pittsburgher’ weekend will kick off on Thursday, October 10 with an open practice for the NDRL Super Late Models, Sweeney RUSH Late Models, and the UEMS Emods. Friday, October 11 will feature the $10,000 to-win ‘Let’s Get Dirty 50’ for the NDRL Super Late Models while the RUSH Late Models and Emods will both compete in their own $1,500 to-win events.

The RUSH Late Models have a $3,000 to-win event on the card as well as the UEMS Emods who will also go after a $3,000 top prize.

The NDRL has teamed up with the Pittsburgh Pirates to bring in the official mascot of the Pirates, the Pirate Parrot, to the ‘Pittsburgher 100’ festivities and take part in the ‘Pittsburgher Wiffle Ball Game’ that will be held on Saturday, October 12. The ‘Pirate Parrot’ will help cheer on the teams, meet and greet fans of all ages and pose for photos. Teams will consist of drivers and fans and will play a fun 4 inning wiffle ball game.
