Introducing the Fuel Required Fan Fest for the #Pittsburgher weekend!

Fuel Required will be opening its classic car sales, service, and consignment shop in McDonald, PA in October. Give them a follow on social media to stay up to date with all of their progress as they near their grand opening on October 15th!

On Saturday, September 30th, events will kick off at 1:45 PM to select our cornhole tournament participants via a blind draw. 16 individuals will be selected and paired at random to form 8 teams.

These teams will face one another in a bracket-style, single-elimination tournament. There is no entry fee to participate. This tournament will begin at 2:00 PM with DJ Miller Time providing the entertainment. The two individuals from the winning team will then face one another in a first to 11 dash to determine an overall winner. This person will take home a set of Fuel Required cornhole boards, which will in turn be signed by every driver who participates in the driver autograph session. The losing partner will take home a Pittsburgher event t-shirt, signed by every driver who participates in the driver autograph session.

Following the cornhole tournament, at approximately 3:30 PM, Rappin' on Racin' and The "NEW" Turn 5 Turn Around will collaborate for a live podcast featuring driver interviews, Pittsburgher history, and pre-race coverage.

This show will lead us directly to our driver autograph session at 4:30 PM. From there, fans are encouraged to meet and greet the drivers of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series while DJ Miller Time continues to play the hits until 5:30 PM.

After the racing program on Saturday Night, DJ Miller Time will be back to play out the remainder of the evening and draw a close to the 35th Annual Pittsburgher presented by Big River Steel weekend.
