Mahoning Valley Speedway suffered its seventh weather cancellation of 2018 last Saturday, but track management remains focused on continually looking ahead to the next program and beyond.

The calendar of events now shifts to Aug. 11 at 6 p.m. as Modifieds, Late Models, Street Stocks, Sportsman Modifieds, Dirt Mods and Hobby Stocks will run a complete set of heats and features.

The following week, Aug. 18, the Modifieds will be racing in a special 75-lap/$2500-to-win feature. This race has been deemed as a non-point event, however, 50 ‘show-up’ points will be awarded to all drivers. A draw for heat starting spots will take place. Afterward, the top three from each qualifier will redraw for feature starting spots.

There is now an added bonus as well with promoter Jack Carlino tossing in a $500 winner-take-all windfall in a special four-car Dash Cash run. This will consist of heat winners running in a 12-lap dash. If only three heats are contested, then the final entrant will be by promoter’s option.

“We’ve had a tough season with all of the cancellations due to weather, and we want to give back to our drivers in any way we can. We’ve already done some things with other classes and now, it’s time to do the same for the Modifieds,” said Carlino. “I think this is a great and thrilling deal for the drivers and fans alike. I am so proud of the racing our Modified guys put on. They deserve incentives like this, and we’re only too happy to do it.”
