Stormin’ Mormon Showdown

Big showdown at the Pahrump Valley Speedway this Saturday as five classes of cars will be racing, with the feature race being Modifieds.

Pahrump Valley Speedway owner Chad Broadhead is expecting upward of 30 Modifieds to show up. He said the track should also be getting some outside racers coming into town for NASCAR weekend.

The race is being called the Stormin’ Mormon Showdown in tribute to Ray Wulfenstein, who passed away in January. The race will start at 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, children 6-14 are $6 and ages five and under are free. A family six-pack for two adults and four kids under 14 is $30.
