JENNERSTOWN SUBMITS TO BAD WEATHER / POSTPONES WATKINS CHEVROLET CAR CRUISE

JENNERSTOWN, PA (May 12, 2006) …Due to the forecast of inclement weather, Jennerstown Speedway has postponed its race activities scheduled for Sat. May 13. The Watkins Chevrolet NASCAR Nostalgia Car Cruise Night will be rescheduled for a later date.

“It has always been our policy to cancel events as early as possible, if it appears there is no chance of running the entire event,” said Jennerstown General Manager Larry Mattingly. “That factor becomes even more important this season with skyrocketing energy costs. We don’t want our competitors and fans wasting their hard earned money if there is little chance of us racing.”

The upcoming May 20th race program will feature an ‘Armed Forces Appreciation Day’ theme, with every branch of the United States Armed Forces in attendance with personnel and military equipment displays spread around the Speedway grounds. This will truly be a special all day event, providing everyone with the opportunity to come out to Jennerstown Speedway. The main gates will open at 12:00 noon, giving Americans from across the region ample time to meet service men and women face-to-face to show their appreciation, while strolling around the various exhibits. Grandstand gates will open at 5:00 p.m., with racing action starting at 6:00 p.m. Concessions will open at 2:00 p.m.

“We’re also having kids’ uniform night, camouflage face painting, an on track autograph session with all of the drivers and cars, along with our fantastic, family favorite, FIREWORKS,” Mattingly said. Admission has been set at $4.00 for all seats.
