Grandview Speedway, located in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania, will stage the 56th edition of its signature Firecracker 40 this Saturday, drawing fans from across the region for a day of high‑octane NASCAR Sportsman competition.
The program includes qualifying heats, a Cash Dash sponsored by Roy Miller II of Keller Williams Real Estate, and a $400 bonus added by Steve Sabo of SDS Racing Photography, pushing the total purse to $2,400 for the Modified division.
Adult grandstand tickets are priced at $25, while students aged 10 to 15 with identification pay $12, and children under nine are admitted free of charge; pit access costs $35 for NASCAR members and $45 for non‑members.
In case of rain, the event will be rescheduled for Saturday, July 18, which will also be celebrated as Back to the 90’s Night sponsored by T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment.
The pre‑race Meet and Greet, dubbed Ladies Night, is sponsored by Wheelwoman Boutique and will feature Sportsman drivers Kaitlyn Bailey, Adrianna Delliponti, Taylor Kramer and Shannon Slaughter, offering fans a chance to interact with the competitors.
Broadcast partner ATVN‑TV will record the action and air it on a tape‑delayed basis, while the event’s growing popularity is reflected in the fact that the Firecracker 40 has seen a different winner each year since 2019, highlighting the competitive depth of the T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Sportsman division.
Beyond the racing, the weekend promises a community vibe, with a trivia night for enthusiasts and a celebration of the track’s storied past that began in 1971.
