LATROBE SPEEDWAY SEPTEMBER 2 PREVIEW;
FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT & KOERBER MEMORIAL
By DJ Johnson
LATROBE, PA (August 29, 2023) According to the weather extended forecast, it appears that the fourth time will be a charm for Fan Appreciation Night at Latrobe Speedway during the 3rd Annual Bill Koerber Memorial on Saturday, September 2.
The giveaways, prizes, and Chinese Auction baskets are stuffed and ready to be given away to lucky fans. We have kids’ baskets, a Lottery Ticket basket, a basket with late Summertime items, an already Back-to-School basket, a basket with assorted Wines, and even a basket for Pets. We have a TV and lots more…
Fans will meet their favorite drivers on the front stretch, get autographs, and take photos. Fans will enter the track from the Turn 1 gate.
The 3rd Annual Bill Koerber Memorial is dedicated to the late Bill Koeber, a former Pure Stock racer at Latrobe Speedway who passed away in 2021. Koerber was planning a comeback in 2019 before his illness.
The 3rd Annual Bill Koerber Memorial will pay $1,375 to the 12-lap Joe’s Auto Body & Towing Pure Stocks winner.
Previous winners include Anthony Monteparte in 2021 and Corey Faris in ’22.
Will we have a repeat winner, or will EJ Rozak or the field claim a Bill Koerber Memorial custom check by Vinyl Destination?
