BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY PRESENTS ALL FOUR TRACK CLASSES PLUS BURNOUT CONTEST THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 12 ON FORAN’S TRANSMISSION & AUTO REPAIR NIGHT
(6-7-26) Big Diamond Speedway has enjoyed an outstanding season so far, marked by exciting on-track action, enthusiastic fan support, and a remarkable streak of nine consecutive race nights to open the year without a single weather cancellation which is the third longest streak in track history.
And the popular 3/8th mile Schuylkill County dirt oval will be looking for more of the same this coming Friday evening, June 12 on Foran’s Transmission & Auto Repair Service Night.
On the night’s docket will be the BQ Concrete 358 Modifieds, USS Achey Inc. 602 Crate Sportsman, Red White and Blue Autos Inc Roadrunners and the Big Creek Concrete Rookie 602 Crate Sportsman plus a special intermission event, a $500-to-win Burnout Contest.
Coming off a dramatic last-to-first place victory, Louden Reimert heads into Friday’s action as the current 358 Modified points leader. It was his second straight win on the season and division-leading eighth top five in nine 2026 starts.
The top five in points are made up of Mike Lisowski, Tim Buckwalter, Duane Howard and Rick Laubach.
Also tallying a second win on the year last week was 602 Crate Sportsman point leader Ryan Graver. Graver is the first driver to repeat with the division this season and comes into this week’s action holding steady in the standings over Mike Schneck Jr., Zach Steffey, Brennan Chapman and Dakota Kohler.
With his 41st division victory last Friday, Alex Schoffstall continues to raise the standard in the Roadrunners as the division’s all-time feature wins leader. As impressive as that milestone is, he still faces a deep and talented field each week that keeps him under constant pressure and gives fans the close, exciting racing they have come to expect. And despite Schoffstall’s best in class four wins, Mike Reichert remains the points leader with the Roadrunners.
The Rookie 602 Crate Sportsman will be back at it. Kevin Fitzpatrick, Devin Whitmoyer and most recently Zach Moyer scored their career first wins this year and chances are very good to see a few others add their names to the growing list of Rookie Sportsman race winners.
Anyone interested in participating in the Burn-out Contest is asked to register your name, address and vehicle information to dlmo@ptd.net.
Also on hand Friday will be representatives from the Checkered Flag Fan Club.
