SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY 19TH ANNUAL MACH 1 CHASSIS 360 SPRINT CAR OPEN TO PAY $5,000 TO WIN SATURDAY, JULY 13

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Selinsgrove Speedway will present the 19th Annual Mach 1 Chassis National Open for 360 sprint cars sanctioned by the United Racing Club at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 13. The 30-lap main event will pay $5,000 to win and $300 to start out of the $16,000-plus purse.

Grandstand and pit gates will open at 5 p.m. 360 sprint car rules for the major sanctioning groups will be permitted for this event.

Sprint car drivers will draw pills to determine their starting positions in the 8-lap heat races. Drivers will earn passing points for their heat race finishes. The top eight drivers in points will redraw for the first eight starting positions in the A-main. The balance of the A-main lineup will be based on points earned. The top four finishers from the B-main will round out the starting grid.

Joining the 360 sprint cars on the racing program will be the super late models in a 25-lap feature paying $2,000 to win and the pro stocks in a 15-lap main event paying $400 to win.
In 358-360 sprint car Open history at Selinsgrove Speedway, 18 races have produced 10 different winners since 2001.
