For the first time since the end of summer in 2005 racing under the lights on Friday nights will return to Evergreen Raceway. Beginning this Friday, June 30, the speedway is hosting the majority of their summer events under the lights on Friday nights.
Sticking to a three to four division show on Friday nights, fans will definitely get their monies worth with adult admission for regular shows set at just $8.
Coming this Friday, a cone race format will set the stage for the Himmer Graphics Late Models, Barbush Automotive Street Stocks, Evan’s Roadhouse Four Cylinder and Wheel’s Bar & Grill Junior Four Cylinders and Strictly Stocks.
The cone format is basic, yet entertaining for the fans. It also gives drivers the chance to advance, if they take a risk. The entire field goes single file under yellow flags. At that time, a cone is placed in the middle of the start/finish line. Prior to coming to the cone, drivers must choose the line where they want to restart from (inside or outside). So, if the top three cars choose the inside and the fourth place driver chooses the outside, the fourth place driver will restart on the outside pole.
Big wheel races will also take place at intermission this Friday. Children 12 years of age and younger are admitted into the grandstand area for free with a paying adult.
The pit gate will swing open at 5:30 PM and the pit entrance fee is $35. Practice will kick off at 6:30 PM and heat races will begin at 8 PM. The grandstand gates will open at 6 PM.
Evergreen Raceway is located minutes from Hazleton, PA, in between routes 93 and 309.
