Jennerstown Speedway to celebrate winning 'Advance My Track' Challenge this weekend

Jennerstown Speedway in Somerset County is planning to celebrate it's victory in the NASCAR/Advance Auto Parts "Advance My Track" Challenge this weekend.

Track officials say a full slate of racing is scheduled for Saturday night to celebrate the speedway complex winning the $50,000 grand prize earlier this year.

Jennerstown Speedway officials say they plan to use the grand prize money to build an ADA-accessible restroom.

“The whole community rallied around our speedway all year,” said Bill Hribar, Jennerstown Speedway’s general manager. “Winning the Advance My Track Challenge has been a great example of the pride our community has in the speedway. It’s only fitting to spend the prize on improving our facility to serve the needs of our entire community, with a modern, ADA-accessible restroom.”

Race fans can visit Advance Auto Parts' locations in Somerset, Johnstown, Latrobe, and Blairsville to score free tickets to this weekend's festivities, which includes a pre-race autograph session, at 4:30 p.m., and a post-race fireworks show.

Fans have been gathering at Jennerstown to watch racing for decades, and we’re delighted to recognize the community and track team as winners of the Advance My Track Challenge,” said Jason McDonell, Advance’s executive vice president of merchandising, marketing and eCommerce. “It is great to see how the Jennerstown team plans to reinvest the winnings into their facility, ensuring their track will continue to be enjoyed by future generations. With fireworks, autographs and great racing, it’s going to be a memorable night for local fans.

The on-track action begins at 6 p.m. and features Jennerstown’s Super Cup Stock Car Series, late models and modified divisions.
