ELKINS RACEWAY READIES FOR YET ANOTHER FULL SEASON
After this past Saturday evening’s successful ‘Test-n-Tune’ session, the staff and management of Elkins Raceway is now ready for another full summer of “Thunder in the Mountains”. The staff has had an extra-busy few weeks of work lately, cleaning up after the major spring flooding that hammered the property, especially in the pit area, as Leading Creek swelled all the way to the edge of the back-stretch. However, the entire area is cleaned and ready for Opening Night, this Saturday May 4. A full night of events for all regular classes is scheduled, including Super Late Models, FASTRAK Late Models, Open-Wheel Modifieds, Hot Mods, Street Stocks, and Mini-Wedges. Drivers in the Street Stock class are asked to check either the track’s website or facebook page for the updated class rules. The website will also be the place to check for the track’s full schedule—with events to be added—, as well as complete race results, point standings, and fan information. Cancellation announcements as well as schedule updates will also be posted on the facebook page. And as become the custom the track’s Kids For Racing Club will be in full swing with activities and prizes for the under-12 youngsters in attendance. Pit gates will open at 5 pm; General Admission gates at 6pm. Admission prices for regular shows are: General $15 (under 12 free), and Pits $30. Concessions will be available for both areas. After a long winter, it’s about time to get that “Thunder in the Mountains” fever again, smelling hot dogs and popcorn and watching some dirt being slung! Come on out for some affordable family fun! It starts this weekend!

ELKINS RACEWAY “ULTRA” MEGA CANDY RUSH RESCHEDULED
After consecutive Saturdays of weather-induced cancellations at Elkins Raceway, the grounds have dried out and are ready for a Memorable Memorial Day celebration. After last Saturday’s cancellation, track management had to exercise a lot of self-control to keep from raiding the candy stockpile; however, the original amount received is intact, and in fact has been supplemented by further donations to make the Kids’ Candy Rush even bigger and better than originally planned. Youngtsters, please remember to bring bags in which to carry off your “sweet loot”; however if you do come without one, the Kids Club will provide you with one. The Cordial Logistics Hot Mod class will take the racing spotlight, with another $500-to-win special sponsored by the awesome folks at Cordial Logistics. All the other classes will be in action as well; the Budweiser Late Models, TKS Contracting/High Point FASTRAK Crates, Holbrook on the Hill UMP Modifieds, and Dirt Street Stocks will all be on the schedule following the two age groups of Mini-Wedges. And with a very favorable weather forecast, we are looking for a “hillside-filling” crowd to help us celebrate the 2023 Memorial Day weekend. Race-day information can be obtained on the raceway’s Facebook page, or by calling (304)636-3339. Pit gates will open at 4 PM (Admission $30); General Admission gates open at 5 PM (Admission $15).

ELKINS RACEWAY OPENS 71ST ANNIVERSARY SEASON
One week after a successful ‘Test-N-Tune’ evening, Elkins Raceway management got its 71st Anniversary season underway with an equally successful opening night. It could have been termed an early Fathers’ Day, as three of the five feature winners were second-generation drivers whose Dads have made their share of laps around the historic track. Logan Hitt, Buckhannon, swiped the spotlight from his dad, defending Budweiser Late Model champion Shane, by winning the opening feature of the year. Logan started 3rd and took the early lead which he never relinquished. Trey Watson, Shane Hitt, Bob Gordon, and newcomer Josh Richeson filled the top 5. Daniel Hill was fast qualifier; Gordon and S. Hitt won the heats. The quickly-growing Cordial Logistics Hot Mod division shared the headline events; the season’s first Special paid $500 to the winner. Dustin Isner took the opportunity to the fullest, coming from his 3rd-starting spot to lay claim to the higher payout. Isner was followed at the checker by fast-qualifier Roger Hull, Wyatt Ball, Jason Phillips, and Junior Wyant. Hull was the quick qualifier; he and Harper won the prelims to set the feature line-up. Second-gen driver Garrett Paugh returned to the Elkins Raceway Winners’ Circle by taking the TKS Contracting High-Point FASTRAK-sanctioned Crate feature. After starting 6th, Paugh was able to work his way to the front through traffic that included defending division champ Brent Trimble. Paugh and Trimble finished ahead of newcomer Dave Loudin, Luke Hyre, and Zak Kimbrew. Trimble, in a new ride, was fast qualifier; Paugh and Michael Moreland won the heats. The evening’s third second-generation winner emerged from the field of the Holbrook on the Hill UMP Modifieds, as 17-year-old Mitch Thomas started 6th and took the lead on lap 3 and went unchallenged in the 20-lap main. Thomas led veteran Gary Dalton, Scott Bittinger, Matt Lashbaugh, and Randy Bise at the finish. Thomas completed the evening’s “hat trick” by being fast qualifier and winning his heat; Dalton was also a heat winner. Michael Ayersman led a slim field of Dirt Street Stocks to the season-opening win; he was followed by Kevin Cooper, Todd Simmons, and Randy Thornhill. Elkins Raceway patrons are reminded of the new App that will receive race lineups and other information on Smart Phones. Those wanting this info must go to the track website and fill out the required form, then download the App on his/her Smart Phone. Thunder in the Mountains returns this Saturday with another Saturday Night Thunder event. Coming May the 20th will be Kids night at Elkins Raceway as a Candy rush of all candy rushes will be put down for the kids at intermission, It will be the biggest candy rush ever at Elkins Raceway as several race teams and other sponsors have flooded the gates with support to make that MEGA event for the young ones that come out to partake in the seasons first event for the kids this year at Elkins Raceway.
