So far the 2016 racing season at Evergreen Raceway has been a success. The car counts continue to grow on a weekly basis and the new management and their crew of officials are learning something every week to help improve the atmosphere and competition at the 1/3-mile asphalt oval in St. Johns, PA. Not so long ago the track held is first of seven race series for the Tour Type Modifieds. Round two was rained out and this Sunday fans will get the chance to take in round number three.

Many teams are excited about returning for the third round of action, which will pay $2,000 and $175 to start, if 16 or more cars take the green flag. A wide variety of others are anxious about competing at the speedway for their very first time, while others are gearing up for their return.

There’s no doubt that the 50-lap show will be a barnburner. After all, the first round was exciting, as Matt Hirschman of Northampton, PA took the victory over Anthony Sesely, while Brandon Oltra of Alden, PA came from the back twice to finish a solid third.

There is a two tire rule in effect for the show, meaning that all competing drivers must purchase at least right side tires at the track and they must use the same set of tires for both the heat and feature events. The right side track tire is the Hoosier 1330. Drivers are allowed to compete with the Hoosier 1320 or M20s on the left side of their cars. Tires are available at the track and can be purchased by cash, check or credit card (3% fee processing fee applies).

Drivers will pull pills for starting positions in a 10-lap heat race. The top six qualifiers will redraw for starting positions on the front stretch at intermission and the remainder of the field will start straight up in the 50-lap main event

Kids big wheel races will also be held at intermission.

Grandstand admission for the June 19 Tour Type Modified event, which also has the Street Stocks, Factory Stocks and Four Cylinders on the card is just $15. The Factory Stock event is the annual “Duct Tape 50”, which is in memory of Ed Makarewicz. Also 50-laps, the show is bound to be a success with lap money on the line as well.

Children 10 years of age and younger are admitted for free with a paying adult.

The pit gate will swing open at 10:30 AM and the pit entrance fee is $30 with a pit license or $40 without. Practice will kick off at 12:30 PM and heat races will begin at 2 PM. The grandstand gates will open at 11:00 AM.
