(Mercer, PA).After three rain outs in the last five weeks and five for the
season, Mercer Raceway Park is hoping for better weather now that the
calendar has flipped to June. With summer right around the corner and
school all but done for the year, Mercer Raceway Park will host its annual
"Pack the Track" Fan Appreciation Night this Saturday, June 7 presented by
Coca-Cola.
Admission prices have been slashed more than half as adult admission is
just $5; a Family Pass, which will admit mom, dad, and as many kids 15 and
under is just $12; students 6-15 are only $2; and all kids five and under
are free!
"This is a great way to not only reward our loyal fans, but to attract new
people to The Park," explained 10th year owner Vicki Emig. "With gas
prices high we realize people a lot of people don't have a lot of
disposable income thus why we have focused our promotions around
affordability. This is a lot of entertainment for $5 and where can you
take your entire family for $12 these days? Plus parking is free and we
offer good food at reasonable prices."
Fans will see the Luxaire Heating & Cooling Sprint Cars, Tire Express
Modifieds, McElwain Motors FASTRAK Late Models, Big Daddy's Speed Center
Mod Lites, and the M&D Paving Mini Stocks in competition.
Also, during intermission fans will have the opportunity to come onto the
speedway for "Meet Your Heroes" camera and autograph night to see the race
car drivers and see their cars. This is presented by Duke Whiting for
State Representative 17th District.
Pit gates open at 3:30 p.m. and grandstand gates open at 4:30. Warm ups
begin at 6:15 and racing begins at 7.
