Pennsylvania Motor Speedway will present the "Red Miley Memorial" Penn National Event this Sunday

PITTSBURGH, PA (June 28) - This Sunday, July 1, Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway will present the "Red Miley Memorial" Penn National Event for Super Late Models. Paying $5,300 to win, the 53-lap A-Main feature event offers 32 starting positions and $53 per lap led. One driver could possibly earn $8,109 for his evening's work. The Crate Late Models, E-Mods, Spectator Stocks, Amateur Stocks, and Young Guns will also compete on "Dirt's Monster Half Mile" this Sunday, with a four-cylinder Demolition Derby on the agenda as well.

In addition to the racing action on the track, a giant Colussy Chevrolet "Fireworks" Display will light up the sky over Imperial PA. Furthermore, a guest appearance by World Wrestling Federation Superstar, Virgil, (Body Guard of the Million Dollar Man, Ted Didiase, and member of NWO World Champtionship Wrestling with Hulk Hogan) will delight sports fans of all ages!

In preparation for this big event, PPMS will NOT race on Saturday June 30. Rain date for the "Red Miley Memorial" will be Sunday July 15.

The unsanctioned Late Model event will utilize a "pill draw" heat race lineup system, and the "Delaware Style" restart procedure. During each caution period in the 53-lap main event, four "lucky dog" lapped cars will get to restart at the rear of the field on the lead lap.

The racing community continues to mourn the passing of Miley Motorsports President James "Red" Miley. Born in 1953, Miley had been a race fan, car owner, and speedway promoter for many years, before losing his courageous battle with cancer at age 53, in May. In his honor, Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway presents this Sunday's "Red Miley Memorial," as a celebration of Red's life and accomplishments.
