Dover International Speedway and Pocono Raceway plan to host their third Celebrity Softball Game Tues, April 21 at Arm and Hammer Park, 1 Thunder Road in Trenton. The game will feature the two most recent winners of the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt Jr. (2014) and Joey Logano (2015).
Earnhardt, driver of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet SS, is scheduled to captain Team Pocono, while Logano, who pilots the No. 22 Team Penske Ford Fusion, will lead Team Dover. The softball series between the two tracks is currently tied at one game apiece. Pocono came from behind to win the inaugural game in 2012 and Dover evened the score with a walk-off victory two years ago.
In addition to Earnhardt and Logano, the rosters from each team will be made up of members of national and local motorsports media, as well as other local media personalities, and a few other special guests.
Access to the celebrity softball game is free with a ticket to the April 21 matchup between the Thunder and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Tickets for the Trenton Thunder’s baseball game start at just $11, and all children ages 12 and younger receive a free hot dog, popcorn and drink. Additionally, it will be “1-Dollar Dog Night” for all fans, courtesy of Black Bear Franks. Tickets for the Thunder game are currently on sale for groups of 20 or more and for ticket plans; individual game tickets will available beginning March 14.
Gates for the softball game will open at 4 p.m. with the event beginning at 4:30 p.m. Following the softball game, time permitting, Earnhardt and Logano will throw out the first pitch for that evening’s 7 p.m. baseball game versus the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
