Modified Tour Back in Action at Sharon
The BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour roars back into action this weekend with two exciting events.
First up will be the return of the ground pounding big blocks to Dirt’s Monster Half Mile, Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. The mighty mods will be the headline event for night number one of the Tri Star Pittsburgher. The race will pay $1,500 to win and every one of the 32 starters will receive at least $200.
Plus, every fan that buys a program and a sandwich will get a free t-shirt courtesy of Cintas! The limitted edition T’s will be themed specifically for the modified portion of the event. Come out early to make sure that you get one of these beautiful shirts.
Then, Saturday, the Modified Tour caravan will head up the road to Sharon Speedway, for the Russ King Memorial. The event will be the only Tour stop at the Ohio oval this season. The race will once again pay $2,000 to the winner, and there will be $100 on the line for the driver who sets the fastest time in qualifications.
The younger fans will enjoy the traditional Tonka truck give-away provided by event sponsor King Brothers!
