BECHTELSVILLE PA – It couldn’t last for long.
The first three weeks of April racing at Grandview Speedway, 43 Passmore Rd., went off without a hitch. The track and its audiences enjoyed what promoters called “outstanding weather, including temperatures in the 70s and low 80s,” and plenty of sunshine.
Alas, April showers finally arrived Saturday (April 25, 2026). They have forced the first cancellation of Grandview’s racing program this year. Rain in Berks County fell during morning hours. More is forecast throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Track managers decided there’s “no chance to hold racing action on Saturday.”
Every cloud carries a silver lining, though. Last year (the 2025 season) saw rain cancellations for all but one April event. The remainders were wash-outs.
Attention now turns to May 2 (Saturday) for another program of racing under the NASCAR Local Racing Series for the T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Modifieds and the T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment Sportsman. The track also will host the Keystone Sports Compact Series, sponsored by Hoffman Speed Supplies and Hoffman Discount Parts in New Tripoli PA.
