Grandview Speedway to Continue Under Nascar Sanctioning for 32nd Consecutive Season, Opening Race April 1
As has been the tradition since 1992, Grandview Speedway will again be part of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Racing Series for the upcoming 2023 racing season.
Grandview Speedway competitors have been sanctioned under the NASCAR umbrella for over three decades now and enjoy the benefits of membership. Benefits include racing for money from the NASCAR Points Fund which is available for National, Regional, State and Track Championships, as well as the great insurance coverage provided by NASCAR.
Last season, Grandview Modified Track Champion Craig Von Dohren not only collected the money from the track’s points fund, but also received $3,500 from NASCAR for winning the track championship and won 15 $000 extra to be the NASCAR Northeast Region Champion.
As has always been the case, all participating drivers must have a NASCAR license in order to race and collect points, with modified drivers being listed in Division I and Sportsman drivers competing in Division II.
Grandview Speedway management encourages everyone to purchase a NASCAR license to enter the pit area for the exceptional additional insurance coverage, but you will be permitted to enter the pit area as a non-member for admission increased. Those who hold a NASCAR license will receive the additional insurance coverage and enter the pits at a reduced price at all sanctioned events. Car owners and crew members can purchase their membership the same way as before if they want the same coverage.
Grandview Speedway track officials are also reminded that, as in previous seasons, they must also purchase their NASCAR membership.
Anyone can start applying for their NASCAR Membership License now at the discounted price and skip the opening day lines by applying online at https://license.nascar.com.

Speedway management will once again offer the ever-popular season passes. Grandstand passes cover all Saturday night events, from the Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker to the Freedom 38 Sportsman and Freedom 76 Modified championship races in September. Season Pass does not include special Thunder on the Hill events promoted by Rogers Family/Bob Miller, or Outlaw Racing Series Enduro/Vintage events.
Season passes, priced at $400 per pass, can be ordered by sending a check or money order to Grandview Speedway, 87 Wilt Road, Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania 19505. If ordering a pass for someone one else, please note it with your request. To expedite the delivery process, please send a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope.
