Anthony Macri Wins 20K Outlaws Morgan Cup At Williams Grove

Dillsburg pilot remains undefeated at oval this season

5/10/25

Mechanicsburg –Anthony Macri remains undefeated at Williams Grove Speedway in 2025 after he trumped the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars in Saturday’s Morgan Cup battle between the outlaws stars and the drivers of the Pennsylvania Posse.

The outlaws victory was the first of Macri’s career at Williams Grove however it was his fourth overall with the circuit.

The Dillsburg pilot pocketed a total of $20,000 for his run to victory in the 30-lap main.

To get his third win of the season at the track, Macri had to beat polesitter Bill Balog off the blocks at the start of the feature on what was by far Balog’s best performance at the track to date.

But Balog’s good night came to an abrupt halt on the second lap when he spun out of second in the second turn and found himself facing the oncoming field.

The restart found perennial outlaws series champion Donny Schatz chasing Macri for the lead while Danny Dietrich made low side jabs at Schatz for second.

Macri pulled away on open track and had a near two-second lead on the fifth circuit but when traffic entered the picture with nine away the tables turned.

The leader appeared hesitant in traffic early as he navigated putting cars a lap down and Schatz pounced for control, crossing the stripe as the leader of lap 10.

However the notice served by Schatz seemed to put Macri’s elbows up or stir him awake as the first turn found Macri blasting to Schatz’s outside in a rally to reclaim the top spot.

And reclaim it he did with an outside swoop and then a dive down in front of Schatz onto the backchute.

Once back at the point Macri drove a smart race through traffic to maintain control the rest of the distance

A tremendous battle for fourth, fifth and sixth place unfolded between Carson Macedo, David Gravel and Logan Schuchart on laps 12, 13 and 14 as the trio battled wildly for position before disaster struck in the fourth corner.

When the lapped car of TJ Stutts spun in front of the battle, Macedo piled into his machine and Schuchart walloped Macedo’s sideways and airborne car, doing great damage to both machines.

Neither driver was able to return to action, proving costly in the season-long outlaws points battle.

The restart one lap shy of the halfway point saw both Gravel and Justin Whittall get by Dietrich as the pair set sights on runner-up Schatz.

Macri was again handling traffic with seven laps to go when Gravel took second and threatened to run down the leader

However Macri’s prowess in choosing the right lanes to continue lapping cars while maintaining his momentum proved too much for Gravel to overcome as the Connecticut driver crossed the line 1.785 seconds behind at the finish.

Dietrich rebounded for third followed by Schatz and Whittall.

Sixth through 10th went to Buddy Kofoid, Freddie Rahmer, Sheldon Haudenschild, Gio Scelzi and Troy Wagaman Jr.

Macri’s win in the Morgan Cup has now tied the event at seven wins for each side in the battle between the outlaws and the posse.

It was the second win in a row by a Pennsylvania Posse driver in Morgan Cup action.

Heats went to Schuchart, Gravel, Macri and Whittall.

Daryn Pittman won the C Main while Ashton Torgerson claimed the B Main and Balog won the dash to earn the pole for the feature.

Logan Schuchart set overall fast time over the 43 car field with a lap of 16.515 seconds.

The event at Williams Grove on May 10 was the 239th contested by the World of Outlaws at the oval, tying the track with Eldora Speedway for the track that has held the most series events in circuit history.

After a brief shower the track was ironed in and the cars were again on the track, forming up for the start of the make-up feature again when a bout of heavier rain doused the track, ending the night.

Rainchecks from May 2 will be honored.

Prior to the rains, Anthony Macri of Dillsburg set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 16.550 seconds.

Heat lineups for the 410 sprints were set with pole positions in each of the four events earned by Macri, Lucas Wolfe, Troy Wagaman Jr. and Danny Dietrich.

The make-up Dirty Deeds 358 sprint feature from April 4 will now be contested on May 16.

Selinsgrove Speedway

Selinsgrove,PA-As the sun rose on Saturday morning. The sky was grey. The rain was pouring. Tracks canceling. Meanwhile in Snyder County the sun made an appearance around noon. The call was made. Selinsgrove is racing ! In front of a great crowd the fans braved a chill that rolled in from a strong wind to see a 4 division show sponsored by Hilly Ridge Sales and Service and York County Racing Club Night featuring the return of the United Racing Club Sprint Cars in The 358/360 challenge Joe Whitcomb Memorial that saw Derke Locke of Mechanicsburg, in a 358 taking a win after Jordan Thomas was light at the scales by nearly 20 lbs. Middletown's Doug Dodson picked up his first Keller's Auto Body PASS 305 win at Selinsgrove. Middleburg’s Andrew Yoder picked up his first win of the season in the Creekside Auto Sales Limited Late Models presented by Spring Valley Mulch. Beaver Springs Brad Mitch grabbed his second consecutive Superior Homes Road Runner Feature.

The United Racing Club made their first trip to the Selinsgrove speedway for the first time since 2023. With the Joe Whitcomb Memorial, Harding,PA Jordan Thomas and Sussex,NJ Davie Franek lead the field to the green. The green wouldn't last long in turn one on lap 3 when Chase Moran went around and was collected by Kyle Smith and Randy Wilbert ripping the tail tank off of the rear of Moran’s car. Red was thrown due to the fuel spill.

On the restart Thomas would take the lead over Franek and pull away. Lap 8 Thomas was in traffic holding off Franek. Thomas was having an issue getting around the lap car of Will Brunson. Franek would close in on lap 10. Franek took the lead for a second. Thomas would finally get the bottom back and get around Brunson and Franek was having the same issue with Brunson on lap 12. Ryan Taylor of Mertztown would close in to put the top 3 at the halfway point and make his way around Brunson and Will McNeal. With 7 to go Franek would close back in on Thomas with only one lap car to get around before some clearing. Just as the field got the three togo and Franek and Taylor were closing in on Thomas. Dovers Cole Thomas would come to a stop and bring out the 2nd yellow of the event. Joe Kata would also come to a stop with a tire issue.

Single file restart would take place. Josh Weller who was easily the hard charger and restarted in the 5th spot would challenge Ad. Right as the leaders took the two togo. Devin Gundrum of Leesport, PA Would roll over in turn 3 and 4. Driver was uninjured and the red would come out. During the red Davie Franek would come in with a flat tire and surender 2nd to Ryan Taylor Restart would come with 2 laps to go and Jordan Thomas would come around to take the checker flag with Derke Locke taking the 2nd Spot away and Weller getting around Taylor who would fall into the 4th spot. Nash Ely would round out the top 5 for the moment.

As we arrived in High Caliber Cranes victory lane. It was taken a while for Thomas to come off the scales to claim his third career URC Victory. Word came over the radio that the 7 of Jordan Thomas was light at the scales after 4 attempts and did not clear the scale. Thomas was Disqualified and that handed the win over to Derke Locke taking his first career URC Feature win. Becoming the 291st different driver to win a URC Feature. His 3rd career win at Selinsgrove. First since 2018. Locke also took home top 358 honors with his win and bonus money put up by Kratzer Insurance. With Thomas’s DQ that would move Haden Miller into round out the top 5.

URC Sprint Cars will be back in action at Selinsgrove on Friday June 6th for the Kramer Kup along with the 410 Sprint Cars and IMT USAC East Coast Wingless 360 sprint cars.

After stalking Kenny Heffner for more than three-quarters of Saturday night’s River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series 20-lap feature at Selinsgrove Speedway, Doug Dodson pulled off the winning pass and led the final three laps to capture the IMCA/RaceSaver portion of the track’s Joe Whitcomb Memorial night.

Heffner, of Watsontown, had a chance to return the favor when a late caution forced a restart with two laps remaining, but Dodson, of Middletown, got a strong jump on that final green flag and brought the George Stevens-owned Power Mist Racing Fuels/Down East Granite/Crockett Log Homes #20 home 1.363 seconds ahead for the win.

It was his 10th career PASS victory, but his first at Selinsgrove (he has a super sportsman win there), where he had to beat a strong, 33-car field that included seven winners of past IMCA/RaceSaver events at the track.

Dodson said afterward that, as he was following Heffner, he noticed an issue with the track and the leader’s right rear tire, and he backed off his pace to conserve the rubber on his car, waiting for an opportunity when the leaders got into traffic.

That turned out to be exactly what happened: when Heffner slipped out of the rubbered area of the track, Dodson pounced.

“Fortunately, I could get out of the rubber a little bit,” he said. “I had a really good car.”

Heffner finished second after an interesting night in which he started the feature on the pole alongside his car owner Cale Reigle, driving a team car.

Kruz Kepner of nearby Kreamer had his second straight strong run in the young season and finished third, ahead of Mid Atlantic Sprint Series regular Tim Iulg of Bridgeton, N.J., and 2023 PASS Champion Logan Spahr of Lewisberry, who claimed his second consecutive top-five finish.

Completing the top 10 were Drew Young, Timmy Bittner, Mike Melair, John Braim, and Reigle, who has five PASS wins to his credit but hadn’t driven since 2022. The Ickesburg veteran said the strong run was “a blast,” enough for him to “call it a career one last time.”

Reigle also had placed second in his heat race. Those competitive events were won by Dodson, Iulg, Landon Price, and rookie Cody Hoover. Jason Roush took the B-Main.

The feature race was run with only one caution, not for a major incident, but the B-Main was stopped early for a frightening flip by Erick Knopp of Danville. Knopp, who had experienced a less serious incident in his heat race, was cut from his racer after complaining of neck and shoulder pain and taken to a local hospital. Fortunately, tests showed only major bruising, and the driver was able to return home. The car was destroyed.

Knopp announced on social media afterwards that he was retiring from racing.

The race was the first of 10 the River Valley Builders PASS tour has scheduled for Selinsgrove this year. The tour has added a sponsor for its appearances at the big Snyder County oval, Keller & Sons Auto Body. PASS will return on Selinsgrove on Saturday, May 10.

CreekSide Auto Sales Limited Late Models were Presented by Spring Valley Mulch on Saturday Night. Middleburg’s Andrew Yoder would take the lead from the 2nd spot. Battle for 2nd was going on between Ryan Zook and Dan Zechman. As the field would complete the lap the 18 of Daniel Condo went around to bring out the first caution of the event.

Restart would come with Yoder taking the lead. Jim Yoder would try to find his way around Zechman for the 3rd spot. Zechman would hold on to 3rd for the moment. Later Jim Yoder would come up a little slow off the corner and allow Casey Stienhoff to close in on him.
Lane Snook,who had a fast car last week before the front end broke. Would make a charge through the field up into the top 5 with a 3 car battle with J. Yoder and Stienhoff. With 5 laps togo Snook would spin himself around after taking the 5th spot away and brings out the second and final caution of the night. Meanwhile, upfront A.Yoder would continue his dominance in the feature event. After having carburetor troubles last Friday during his MAPCO Engines Hard Charger run. Yoder would get out front and not look back collecting his first Creekside Auto Sales Limited Late Model presented by Spring Valley Mulch feature of 2025 at Selinsgrove. His 13th win at the track. Zook would get 2nd, Zechman, Jim Yoder and Casey Stienhoff rounded out the top 5
“ Starting the 2nd I was thinking that's good.” Andrew Yoder said in High Caliber Cranes Victory Lane. ” But when I saw the 360s get latched down on the bottom. I didn't think 2nd was the place to be. I got a good enough start. Try to squeeze (Dan) Zechman on the bottom and beat him in to one and that's all it took.”
Yoder also took home a $25 bonus from the York County Racing Club for being a member and taking home the victory.

Next CreekSide Auto sales Limited Late Model Event will take place This coming Friday May 2nd.

Final feature of the night would be the Superior Home’s Roadrunners. 14 Road runners on hand to try and knock off Brad Mitch of Beavertown. A special guest was on the call of the Superior Home Road Runners main Event Petr Theriault, a freshman at nearby Susquehanna University was on hand the last two weeks to shadow announcer Bert Wojcik while studying Sports Broadcasting and has done a fantastic job covering the road runners. On the start Aden Mitch would take the lead over Keith Bissinger. First caution would come out as Roy Miller would spin around, He would continue.

On the restart Father Brad Mitch would take the lead from the younger Mitch. Jake Jones would take 2nd spot away from Adien Mitch. Brad Mitch would stretch the lead out to over half a straight away by the halfway point of the feature. Caution would come out as the 17 of Austin Webster goes around in turn 4. During the caution 2nd palace Jake Jones would come in and call it a night with a mechanical issue. That would move Adien Mitch back to the runner up spot. On the restart Brad Mitch would have no issue once again putting distance on the field. Adien Mitch would get loose in turns 1 and 2 and lose 2 spots to Keitth Bissinger and Nate Stroup. Tom Underwood would wreck down the front straightaway having his hands full trying to keep the car out of traffic. He would but it would bring back out the yellow flag.Back Under green Aiden Mitch would try to close in on his father. But entering turns 1 and 2 he would go around and the caution would once again fly. Keith Bissenger would take the 2nd spot back and get passed by Stroup for the 2nd spot. Meanwhile Brad Mitch would go back to back to open the season for the Superior Homes Road Runners for his 33rd career victory Stroup would hold on to 2nd. Matt Ney would get around Bissinger for the 3rd spot and Bissinger would settle for 4th. Tom Underwood would round out the top 5.

“It feels great,” Brad Mitch said in victory lane. “ Car was good. Cautions really hurt. I couldn't figure out what to do for the last 2 laps. I saw my boy spin out and he's doing a great job. I know a lot of people say that this is a pro stock. I can tell you it’s legal. You got to take care of your cars. Your job is to come figure out how to beat me and when you do. It’s not going to last long as we’re going to figure out how to take it back.”

Superior Homes Road Runners will be back in action this Friday May 2nd

Port Royal, PA -- Saturday night brought 36 410 sprint cars to Port Royal Speedway to compete for the Keith Kauffman Classic presented by White Cap. Big names from all over the country including Kasey Kahne, Ashton Torgerson, and PA's own including Lance Dewease, Danny Dietrich, and Anthony Macri were in competition to take home the $15,000 prize. When the checkered flag waved, it was Ryan Smith alone at the top to claim his 2nd win of the 2025 season.

The 30 lap A-main event saw Kahne and Lucas Wolfe make up the front row and lead the field to the green flag. Four cars would battle for the top spot between Wolfe, Kahne, Troy Wagaman, and Ryan Smith, but Wolfe would lead the opening lap with Smith right behind him.

Smith, after starting outside of the 2nd row, would use his speed coming off of turn 4 on the opening lap, to drive to the inside of the 5W of Wolfe to get by and take the lead away.

Over the next 10 laps, Smith would open up his lead to nearly 3 seconds but as he would enter into lapped traffic, Lucas Wolfe would begin to close the gap.

Meanwhile, Dietz, who started in the 9th spot, had worked his way up to 3rd while battling with the likes of Anthony Macri and Troy Wagaman.

Coming to the line with 10 laps to go, Dietz was able to slide past Wolfe for the runner up spot while 12th starter Lance Dewease would follow suit to get by as well to take the 3rd position.

While those cars went to battle, Smith was able to up his lead back up to nearly three and a half seconds, but with 7 laps remaining a caution would restack the field for a wing panel coming off of Brock Zearfoss on the front stretch.

On the restart, Smith would surge to the front as Dewease and Dietz would briefly battle for 2nd spot over the next two laps.

With 5 laps remaining, Dietz found speed on the top side of the race track trying to track down the leader in Smith. He would continue to cut into the lead as he pulled alongside the 69K coming to 2 to go.

As just 2 laps remained in the A-main, Dietz would duck to the inside of Smith battle for the lead going into turn 1. Both cars jostling for position, Dietz would slide up the race track, narrowly avoiding contact with the 69K, hitting the turn 2 wall and giving Smith enough of a gap to hold on and win the Keith Kauffman Classic.

"The next thing I know there he is," said Smith in victory lane talking about the battle with Dietz, "I just kind of buried it in there and hope it stuck."

Dietz would hold on for 2nd and Lance Dewease would finish in 3rd.

Dewease would also claim the Ramsey's Car Wash Hard Charger award and the J&S Classics Warrior Award following the pill draw in victory lane would go to Michael Walter who finished in 15th.

For the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars, Dale Schweikert and Ed Aiken would make up the front row for their 25 lap A-main event.

Briggs Danner, who started in 4th, would work his way to the bottom in turns 1 and 2 and sneak past both Schweikert and Aiken to take the early lead.

Danner would lead the first 10 laps of the feature event before Tony Jackson would slow to a stop on the backstretch.

On the ensuing restart, Danner wouldn't be able to run away from the 2nd place running Kenny Miller III and Steven Drevicki. Those 3 cars would turn laps around The Speed Palace nearly nose to tail over the 15 remaining laps with Christian Bruno getting into the mix with just 9 laps remaining.

With 5 laps to go, Bruno would sneak by Drevicki on the front stretch to get into 3rd while Miller and Danner battled for the lead. Coming off of turn 4, Bruno would use a strong run on the bottom side of the track to move into the runner up spot.

Bruno would pull alongside Danner with 2 laps to go and a slowing lapped car got in the way of the leaders as he tried to exit the speedway, giving Bruno the opportunity to put a large enough gap to take the lead and take Danner out of his rhythm.

Briggs Danner would hold on to the 2nd spot and Kenny Miller III would finish in 3rd.

In wingless sportsman competition, Dexter Ehrenzeller and Steve Wilbur would lead the field to green for a 20 lap feature event which would see Wilbur take the early lead.

With 15 laps remaining, Tony Jackson would snag the 2nd spot away from Ehrenzeller and then would follow Wilbur closely around the race track over the next 10 laps.

With 5 laps remaining, Jackson was able to pull alongside Wilbur and take the lead away.

Wilbur was not able to run Jackson back down as Jackson would hold on for the win.

Wilbur would finish in 2nd and Billy Brian Jr would round out the top 3.

Port Royal Speedway will be right back in action on Sunday with The Battle in the Borough with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series racing for $10,000 to win and the Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models racing for $2,000 to win.

Michael Walter Breaks Through For 1st Career Win, Saterlee Adds Another Win to His Career Tally, Sweigert Dominates 305s

Article Credit: Brad Strawser

Port Royal, PA -- Michael Walter had come very close to winning his first career 410 sprint car race over the last handful of seasons, especially at Port Royal Speedway. On Saturday night, he parked in victory lane for the first time and took home a $5,000 payday.

Justin Whittall and Logan Wagner would make up the front row of the 25-lap A-main event which saw Whittall take the lead from the drop of the green flag.

The driver from New Jersey would lead the field through lapped traffic through the opening 15 laps while drivers like Brock Zearfoss, Lance Dewease, Billy Dietrich and Michael Walter would all battle inside the top 5.

With just 10 laps remaining, Lance Dewease would slow to a stop on the front stretch after reportedly losing his brakes which would bring his race to an end after running in 5th.

On the restart with 9 laps remaining, Logan Wagner would slide past Whittall to take the lead coming out of turn 4. Whittall would return the favor in turn 1 to regain the lead back as they would come to the line with 8 to go.

The two cars would trade positions over the next lap and while coming down the front stretch with 7 laps remaining, both cars would come together at the entrance of turn 1, sending both cars spinning into the outside wall and ending both drivers' race.

Following the accident, Michael Walter would inherit the lead. Walter, who had never won a 410 sprint car race entering the night, would hold on for the final 7 laps and visit victory lane for the 1st time in his career.

"I've always wanted to do this since I was a little kid," said Walter in victory lane. "I got super lucky Logan and Justin going for the win there, and sometimes you come out on top of those and sometimes you don't. This time I did."

Billy Dietrich would finish in the 2nd spot and Mike Wagner would round out the top 3.

In Penske Racing Shocks super late model competition, Gregg Saterlee would lead from start to finish to claim his 21st career Port Royal Speedway victory.

Saterlee would face challenges midway through the A-main event when faced with heavy lapped traffic in front of him which allowed Max Blair to close the gap between himself and the leader, but a timely caution allowed the field to reset giving Saterlee the clean air he needed to hold on for the win.

Saterlee, with the win, is now a guaranteed starter for next Sunday's Battle in the Borough versus the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. If Saterlee were to qualify for the main event next Sunday, the next highest finisher in April 19th event who does not qualify will be awarded the starting position.

In PennsValley Meat Market 305 sprint car competition, Nick Sweigart would start in 1st and finish in 1st.

He would have a lead as large as 5 seconds in points of the A-main only to be erased by cautions, but that didn't stop him from going unchallenged to the victory on Saturday night.

Logan Spahr would charge from a 13th starting position to finishing in the runner up spot and Mike Melair would finish in 3rd from 10th.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in competition on Saturday April 26th with the Keith Kauffman Classic paying $15,000 to win for the Weikert's Livestock 410 sprint cars which will be supported by the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars and wingless sportsman. The night's presenting sponsor is White Cap.

That night of action will be followed up on Sunday with The Battle in the Borough versus the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and supported by the Zimmerman Truck Repair Limited Late Models.

MACRI OUTDUELS CAMPBELL TO WIN $10,069 WELDON STERNER MEMORIAL AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY; Dylan Norris Powers to $2,169 358 Sprint Car Victory

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, April 26 (6PM) 410 Sprints and Limited Late Models

Saturday, May 3 (7PM) World of Outlaws Tune-up: 410 Sprints (TT) and 358 Sprint “Summer Series” plus York County Racing Club Night

Tuesday, May 6 WORLD OF OUTLAWS: GETTYSBURG CLASH

Abbottstown, PA (April 19, 2025) – Anthony Macri earned a hard-fought victory in Saturday night’s Weldon Sterner Memorial at Lincoln Speedway, besting a stout field and walking away with the $10,069 payday after an intense 33-lap feature filled with high-speed drama, three-wide racing, and heavy lapped traffic.

Matt Campbell and Cameron Smith led the field to the green, with Campbell gaining the early advantage exiting turn two. Smith kept pace, while Macri, Danny Dietrich, and Cale Thomas rounded out the early top five. By lap 5, Campbell had built a 1.7-second lead as the leaders neared the tail of the field. He caught lapped traffic on lap 6, allowing Smith to close the gap.

The race’s first caution came on lap 8 for a spinning Derek Hauck in turn two, setting up a pivotal restart. Campbell stumbled at the drop of the green, opening the door for Macri and Smith, who went three-wide off turn four. Macri moved into second, with Campbell narrowly holding the lead.

As the race neared the halfway point, lapped traffic once again came into play. Macri reeled in Campbell in heavy traffic, but Campbell masterfully picked his way through the back markers to maintain the lead. Dietrich took advantage of the congestion to get by Smith for third.

A caution on lap 19 for Brady Bacon and Darin Naida bunched the field back together, with Macri clipping Naida as he slipped by. On the restart, Macri threw a massive slider in turn three, but Campbell held strong at the line. Macri would not be denied, however, and made the pass for the lead on the following lap.

The race was slowed again on lap 21 for a spinning Aaron Bollinger, who had been running seventh. The restart saw Smith and Chase Dietz battling hard for fourth, with Dietz reclaiming the spot on lap 23. Another yellow on lap 25 for a 360 spin by Bollinger cooled a fierce four-car battle for sixth involving Thomas, Chad Trout, Troy Wagaman, and Freddie Rahmer.

On the restart, Dietrich surged past Campbell for second, while Dietz challenged for third but couldn’t make it stick. Dietrich quickly closed in on Macri in the final five laps, with lapped traffic looming just ahead. With two laps to go, the red flag flew for a flip by Cale Thomas in turn four, setting up a dramatic two-lap dash to the finish.

Macri held strong on the restart and went on to score the Weldon Sterner Memorial win – his second consecutive victory in the prestigious event. Danny Dietrich crossed the line second and Matt Campbell held on to third. Chase Dietz was fourth and Cameron Smith completed the top five.

Dylan Norris Powers to 358 Sprint Car Victory

Dylan Norris has shown speed behind the wheel of Brad McClelland’s 358 sprint car, and on Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway, that speed led to a dominant feature win — earning the team a whopping $2,169 payday.

Frankie Herr, the division’s opening night winner, started on the pole and led the field into turn one. A fierce battle for second unfolded early between Wyatt Hinkle, Andy Best, and Norris, with Norris emerging with the position. By lap 3, Norris powered past Herr exiting turn four to take command of the 20-lap feature.

Further back, Cameron Merriman began working on Ashley Cappetta for a spot inside the top five. The battle for third heated up with Best and Hinkle wheel-to-wheel, and Merriman soon joined the mix making it a three-car battle. Merriman took third as Best held onto fourth, while Hinkle and Cappetta fought for fifth. Cappetta eventually secured the position as the field approached lapped traffic on lap 10.

The caution flew on lap 11 for Cole Small, who stopped in turn three with a flat tire. Norris led the field to the restart ahead of Herr, Merriman, Best, and Cappetta.

Cappetta made a strong move on the restart to slide into fourth, just before another yellow came out on lap 13 for Jake Galloway, who spun in turn four. This time, Steve Owings took advantage on the restart, moving into the top five by getting around Best.

As the laps wound down, Owings put pressure on Cappetta for fourth, using the top side of the speedway to mount a late-race charge. But out front, it was all Norris, who held steady through traffic and restarts to capture his first win of the season. Frankie Herr got to the line second and Cameron Merriman was third. Ashley Cappetta finished fifth and Steve Owings rounded out the top five.

Next Saturday, April 26, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 Sprints and Limited Late Models. It is also Auto Racing Club of Hagerstown (ARCH) Night. Racing is scheduled for 6PM with pit gates opening at 3:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

Macri Sweeps Williams Grove Sprint Mains To Pocket Over 13K

4/18/25

Mechanicsburg –Anthony Macri of Dillsburg swept both 410 sprint car races at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking home just shy of $13,600 for his night of work.

The wins were the 11th and 12th of his career at the oval, coming in the make-up season opener held over from April 4 and in the regularly scheduled Tommy Hinnershitz Classic.

Macri set fast time on the night with a lap of 16.555 seconds before starting on the pole of the 30-lap Hinnershitz race.

He would end up wiring the field for the victory in a race that was marred by a lap three red flag for Cale Thomas aboard the Bobby Allen No. 1A.

Thomas was working around Lance Dewease for the fifth spot on the backstretch when he clouted the outside wall, sending his car careening out of control underneath the bridge before digging in and turning over.

Flames erupted from the car as it twisted to a stop only to find seventh runner Danny Dietrich jump from his car and rush to Thomas’ aid.

Dietrich was able to pull Thomas from the car and away from the wreckage with both drivers avoiding injury.

The restart had Brock Zearfoss lining up second but Macri motored away when action resumed and by lap seven he had built up a 1.2 second lead.

Macri entered the rear of the field with 14 laps to go and worked perfectly to the finish to pick up the win by 5.843 seconds over Zearfoss.

Fourth starter Ryan Smith surged late to drive by Freddie Rahmer for third and challenge Zearfoss to the line for the runner-up position.

Rahmer settled for fourth followed by Dietrich.

Sixth through 10th went to Dewease, Chase Dietz, Troy Wagaman Jr., Justin Whittall and Kody Hartlaub.

Heats for the 39 cars in attendance went to Hartlaub, Thomas, Dewease and Wagaman Jr.

Aaron Bollinger claimed the consolation race.

Macri scored $8,088 for his win in the Tommy Classic.

In the make-up opening night feature that restarted with five laps completed, Macri was trailing early leader Matt Campbell when the green flag unfurled.

He quickly ducked under Campbell in the first turn only to see Campbell turn his car down off of the cushion and race to his inside on the backstretch and reclaim control.

And after that Campbell drove a smart race, keeping Macri from within striking distance while entering the rear of the field on the 16th tour.

In fact, Campbell appeared home free as the final five laps began to play out but fortunes changed when Cameron Smith stopped with four laps to go, bunching the field.

The caution flag wiped out a near one second lead that Campbell had over the field and the new green seemed to breath new life into Macri.

The challenger stuck with the leader on lap 22 and then was close enough to plaster a deep dive for the lead on Campbell in the third corner with two laps to go.

And once in front, Macri jetted away to the win by 1.455 seconds.

Dietrich rode home third followed by Zearfoss and Dietz.

Sixth through 10th went to TJ Stutts, Dewease, Wagaman Jr., Rahmer and Billy Dietrich.

Macri’s win in the make-up opener was worth $5,500.

Jasen Geesaman of Annville took the win in the 15-lap street stock feature to close the night.

Geesaman took over when early leader Jim Palm slowed to a stop on the track.

Jimmy Combs, Aaron Beard, Chris Transeau and Jacob Toney completed the top five finishers.

Hinnershitz Legacy Honored Friday At Williams Grove

4/13/25

Mechanicsburg – Friday’s sprint car show at Williams Grove Speedway will honor its original winner. He was the first. He had one of the most recognizable names in motorsports history dating back to the 1930s.

On tap at Williams Grove on Friday will be the annual Tommy Hinnershitz Memorial Spring Classic, honoring the late, great racer from Oley that holds the distinction of winning the first ever race held at the brand new Williams Grove Speedway back on Sunday, May 21, 1939.

Hinnershitz won the race in what was called a “hard and heady” event to best the famed Joie Chitwood.

Hinnershitz’s death in 1999 left behind an auto-racing legacy worthy of note by any standards.

During his 30-year career spanning 1930-1960, “The Fying Dutchman,” as he was known, amassed seven AAA/USAC Eastern Big Car Championships, taking titles in 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1955, 1956 and in 1959.

He had garnered 103 total AAA/USAC feature wins with 19 taking place at Williams Grove.

Hinnershitz set 43 AAA track records during his tenure and would compete in three Indianapolis 500s.At the time of his death, the 87-year old was ranked second behind Steve Kinser on the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame’s Top Sprint Car Drivers of All Time list.

Back in 1939, when Hinnershitz passed Chitwood for the lead in that maiden race at Williams Grove, the duel was billed as “one of the most thrilling bits of driving ever witnessed on a Pennsylvania speedway.”

It was said that when Hinnershitz passed Chitwood, “the Big Chief was met with acclaim from the crowd.”

And Williams Grove will bestow even more worthy acclaim in the Big Chief’s honor this Friday night.

Adult general admission for the April 18 racing program is set at $25 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $10.

Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

LINCOLN SPEEDWAY

Abbottstown, PA

MACRI CAPTURES FEATURE WIN; Nash Ely Scores First Career 358 Sprint Car Victory

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, April 12 (6PM) 410 Sprints and USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints

Saturday, April 19 (6PM) 21ST ANNUAL WELDON STERNER MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Saturday, April 26 (6PM) 410 Sprints and Limited Late Models

Abbottstown, PA (April 5, 2025) – It was an action-packed night at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, April 5, with lead changes, close racing, and a red flag that shook up the 410 sprint car feature.

The 30-lap A-Main started with JJ Loss and Cole Knopp going wheel-to-wheel into turn 1, but it was Loss who powered out of turn 2 to claim the early lead. Dallas Schott made quick work of the field, moving into third and sneaking by Knopp at the line for second just before Knopp spun in turn 2, bringing out the caution. Dylan Norris was also sent to the rear after a 360 spin during the same sequence.

Anthony Macri moved into third early on, while Brandon and Freddie Rahmer battled for fifth. Loss started to stretch his lead and approached lapped traffic on lap 8, with Schott and Macri giving chase. On lap 11, Loss jumped the cushion in turns 1 and 2, opening the door for Schott to take over the top spot.

Macri wasn’t far behind and began closing the gap on Loss for second, eventually taking the position out of turn 4 on lap 15. Freddie Rahmer continued to pressure Brandon for a top-five spot as the laps clicked off.

With clean air ahead, Schott built a comfortable lead, but as he neared lapped traffic, Macri began to reel him in. The intensity picked up quickly, and with traffic looming, Macri took a shot at the lead as Schott tapped the wall in turn 4. The two swapped sliders as they worked around a lapped car, until contact on the backstretch sent Schott flipping end over end, bringing out the red flag on lap 23.

Macri inherited the lead for the restart with JJ Loss, Kyle Moody, Brandon Rahmer, and Freddie Rahmer rounding out the top five. Troy Wagaman Jr. entered the fray late, sliding under Freddie for fifth. In a thrilling three-wide battle at the line, Wagaman claimed fourth, with Freddie in fifth and Brandon falling to sixth.

Moody began closing in on Loss for second, while Freddie and Wagaman renewed their battle in the closing laps. Freddie regained the fourth spot with just one lap remaining.

Macri took the checkered flag by 1.740 seconds over Loss. Moody was third and Freddie Rahmer crossed the line fourth. Wagaman completed the top five.

Nash Ely Scores First Career 358 Sprint Car Victory

The 358 sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night saw a new face in Victory Lane, as Nash Ely picked up his first career win in the division with a strong performance at the front of the field.

The initial start was intense, with Jayden Wolf, Cody Fletcher, and Nash Ely nearly three-wide going into turn 1. But the action quickly reset after Fletcher did a 360 spin in turn 4, forcing a complete restart and sending him to the rear.

The restart moved Ely to the front row, and he took full advantage—grabbing the early lead with Wolf settling into second and Andy Best running third. Steve Owings and Austin Reed battled for fourth, with Owings eventually taking control of the position.

Ely encountered lapped traffic by lap 7, allowing the field to close the gap. Wolf tagged the wall in turn 4, giving up second to Best, who then started reeling in the race leader. However, Ely navigated traffic to put some breathing room between himself and Best with seven laps to go.

The race’s second caution came on lap 16 when Brian Wolf Jr. came to a stop on the frontstretch. That set up a four-lap dash to the finish with Ely leading Best, Owings, Wolf, and Reed.

On the restart, Owings looked to the outside of Best for second but couldn’t complete the pass. Two laps later, Best slid high in turn 2, opening the door for Owings to slip into the runner-up spot. Best stayed close and challenged in the final laps, but Owings held firm.

At the checkered flag, it was Nash Ely taking the win and celebrating a milestone moment in his young racing career. Steve Owings crossed the line second and Andy Best was third. Jayden Wolf finished fourth and Austin Reed completed the top five.

Next Saturday, April 12, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 Sprints and USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars. Racing is scheduled for 6PM with pit gates opening at 3:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

CAMPBELL CLAIMS VICTORY IN THRILLING 30-LAP FEATURE AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY; Wilbur Dominates Season Opener for Wingless Super Sportsman

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, April 5 (6PM) 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Saturday, April 12 (6PM) 410 Sprints and USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints

Saturday, April 19 (6PM) 21ST ANNUAL WELDON STERNER MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Abbottstown, PA (March 29, 2025) – Lincoln Speedway roared to life on Saturday night as an action-packed 30-lap feature unfolded before a great crowd on a beautiful spring evening. With Glenndon Forsythe and Tim Glatfelter leading the field to the green, the stage was set for an exciting showdown at the famed Pennsylvania oval.

Glatfelter got the early jump, leading the field into turn one ahead of Forsythe and Preston Lattomus. As the battle for position unfolded, Dylan Norris worked his way past Lattomus for third, with Matt Campbell following closely to take over fourth. Campbell wasted little time challenging Norris, going wheel to wheel on lap five before securing the third spot.

Lapped traffic loomed just a lap later, and Campbell capitalized on the congestion, moving into second. The race’s first caution flew on lap seven when Hayden Miller made contact with the wall in turn two. The restart saw Glatfelter continue to fend off Campbell’s advances, but Campbell was relentless, throwing a slider to take the lead on lap nine.

The action came to a halt on lap ten when Domenic Melair all but flipped in turns three and four, bringing out the red flag. Once racing resumed, Campbell pulled away while Aaron Bollinger worked his way past Glatfelter for third on lap 14. At the halfway mark, Campbell’s lead stretched to over a second as he navigated lapped traffic.

Another caution on lap 17 for a spin involving Dallas Schott and Joey Amantea erased Campbell’s advantage, but he once again pulled away on the restart. The battle for second intensified as Bollinger and Freddie Rahmer exchanged slide jobs, allowing Campbell to extend his lead. Troy Wagaman also made his presence known, surging into the top five and quickly picking off positions.

The yellow flag flew once more on lap 20 when Amantea spun in turn two. Campbell continued to hold command at the front, even after doing a wheelie on the backstretch as Bollinger closed the gap. Rahmer briefly took second with a slider in turn two, but Bollinger battled back, keeping the race for the runner-up spot alive.

With five laps to go, Campbell worked through lapped traffic flawlessly, sealing the victory in dominant fashion. Aaron Bollinger held on for second, while Freddie Rahmer, Troy Wagaman, and Brandon Rahmer rounded out the top five. Cameron Smith was the hard charger after driving from his 21st starting spot to finish sixth.

Wilbur Dominates Season Opener for Wingless Super Sportsman

The Wingless Super Sportsman kicked off their season at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night with an exciting 20-lap feature. Veteran racer Steve Wilbur started on the pole and wasted no time asserting his dominance, leading the field into turn one and quickly pulling away.

Brett Perigo moved into second early, but Billy Brian Jr. had other plans, slipping under Perigo coming out of turn two to take the runner-up position. As the field settled in, Trent Yoder and Tony Jackson worked their way forward, battling for top-five spots. Yoder put pressure on Perigo for third, and the two waged a wheel-to-wheel battle for position. Meanwhile, Jackson made a bold move, passing two cars in one lap to break into the top five.

The first caution of the race flew on lap nine when Stan Wanner and Chad Thomas tangled in turn one, erasing Wilbur’s impressive 3.673-second lead. On the restart, Yoder continued to hound Perigo, while Jackson executed a powerful move in turns one and two to jump from fifth to third.

With five laps to go, Wilbur’s lead had grown back to 2.574 seconds, but Jackson wasn’t done yet—he turned up the pressure on Brian for second. Another caution slowed the field on lap 16 when Brandon Shearer spun in turn two, setting up a late-race shootout.

Brian had a strong restart, and Yoder briefly got by Jackson for third before Jackson battled back to reclaim the spot. Wilbur remained untouchable out front, cruising to victory as Billy Brian Jr., Tony Jackson, Trent Yoder, and Cliff Brian Jr. rounded out the top five.

Brian with a better restart this time – Yoder by Jackson on the restart but Jackson battled back to retake third

Next Saturday, April 5, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints. Racing is scheduled for 6PM with pit gates opening at 3:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

Ryan Smith Gets Back to Victory Lane, Eckert Goes Back-to-Back, Hardy Outlasts Snook in LLMs

March 29, 2025 -- It had been 11 years since Ryan Smith had parked in victory lane at Port Royal Speedway for his first career win. On Saturday afternoon, he was able to get back there for the 2nd time in his career behind the Kreitz racing 69K and did so in comfortable fashion for the $5,000 payday.

Ricky Peterson Jr. would start alongside Lucas Wolfe to take the opening green flag of the 25 lap A-main event with Peterson getting out in front early. Within the opening lap, Smith would charge from his 6th place starting spot and take the 3rd spot away from Jeff Halligan while also challenging Wolfe for 2nd.

Smith would catch Peterson over the next 4 laps and with a good drive into the low side of turn 1, Smith would get by Ricky Peterson Jr for the lead and wouldn't look back.

The A-main would remain green for the remainder of the race and Smith would finish with a margin of victory over 4 seconds.

"To be honest with you I didn't know how to get here," joked Smith in victory lane referencing how long it's been since he had won at Port Royal Speedway.

Chase Deitz would be the Ramsey's Car Wash hard charging coming from the 10th starting spot to finish 2nd and Justin Whittall would round out the podium in 3rd.

In Penske Racing Shocks super late model competition, Rick Eckert was able to get back to victory lane in back to back weeks at Port Royal Speedway.

Drake Troutman would take the early race lead but after a pair of cautions over the opening 3 laps of the race, Eckert was able to utilize an outside starting lane on restart to get by both Colton Flinner and Troutman to take the race lead and not look back.

Troutman would run in 2nd for the majority of the race with Flinner close in tow, when contact with a lapped car nearly took the Hyndman, PA driver out of contention. The driver of the 22* was able to reel the car back under his control and maintain speed and would hold on to finish in 3rd with Flinner able to capitalize and finish in 2nd.

For the Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models, Kyle Hardy would lead from wire to wire and pick up the opening race win of the season for the division.

Lane Snook and Ryan Zook would round out the top 3.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action on Saturday April 5th with Weikert's Livestock 410 sprint cars, Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint cars and Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models. Racing is scheduled to start at 6PM.

Rain Stops Grove Opener

3/28/25

Mechanicsburg – Racing at Williams Grove Speedway fell victim to rain on Friday night as the track made its third attempt at getting the season opener in the books.

Light to moderate rains hit the oval just as gates opened and the sprint cars and super sportsman began entering the pits.

The decision to cancel the event was made just after 6 pm when it became clear that that the rainfall would persist for at least another hour.

The 2025 season opening event for the 410 and 358 sprint cars will now be next Friday, April 4 when it will be Fast Tees Night.

Hundreds of Fast Tees tote bags will be given out as fans enter the general admission gates with select bags including a $10 gift certificate to Williams Grove Speedway.

Keep up to date on all the latest speedway news and information by visiting the oval’s official website located at www.williamsgrove.com

Purchase your tickets in advance at Ticket Hoss and your name will be entered in a drawing for two lucky spectators to join the race winner in the always joyous victory lane celebration. Or, you could be the lucky person to take part in the High Limit Dice Roll just by purchasing your tickets at TicketHoss.co, on or before May 18. The three winners will be notified in advance of the event so you can prepare to be a big part of the High Limit event at Grandview Speedway.

Advance tickets for the High Limit 410 Sprint Show at Grandview are now available to purchase at TicketHoss.com. We utilized TicketHoss for the previous two High Limit events with great success. Advance ticket holders may enter the grandstand at 4:30 PM through the first turn grandstand gate.

As an advance ticket holder, you may enter the grandstands one-half hour prior to general admission tickets going on sale providing you with your choice of seating. The advance ticket process dramatically improves moving the spectators into the grandstand area as you skip the ticket purchase line and enter at 4:30 PM. Also, the electronic ticket you receive eliminates the risk of losing your ticket. Reach out to TicketHoss.com and get your tickets early.

On Tuesday night, May 20 expect a night of fun, interaction and entertainment starting with the option to do the Inside/Out Promotion where race fans may watch warm-ups from inside the fourth turn, or sign up to do a pre-race Pit Tour and also expect a first class Fan Fest with many of the High Limit stars to take place at the Drivers Merchandise Midway just outside the front gate. Opening ceremonies will feature Eric Haney performing the National Anthem.

Also on the program will be the Alpine Building Supply Vintage Cars competing in two 12 lap feature events.

General admission tickets on race night are $40 for adults, children 6-11 are $20, children 5 and under will be admitted for free. The Pit Fee is $45 and a license is not required. (Pit tickets are not available on Ticket Hoss).

The idea of a $2,000 bonus for a Pennsylvania driver to win the Kubota High Limit event was so well received in 2024 that Alpine Building Supply of Schuylkill Haven, PA will sponsor the award on Tuesday night, May 20. The bonus should lure some interest for other local sprint car drivers to be on hand. For a Pennsylvania driver, the win would be worth $22,000 and the race will pay $1,500 just to take the green flag in the feature event.

Defending Grandview High Limit winners Brent Marks and Rico Aberu will be in the field joined by five time World of Outlaw Champion Brad Sweet of Grass Valley, CA along with Tanner Thorson of Minden, NV, Kasey Kahne from Enumclaw, WA, Tyler Courtney Indianapolis, IN, Aaron Reutzel of Clute, TX, Daison Pursley of Loctus Grove, OK, Spencer Bayston of Lebanon, IN, Justin Peck from San Diego, CA and two Rookie drivers Danny Sams III of Elkhart, IN and Sye Lynch of Apollo, PA will be making their start with the High Limit Sprints in 2025.

The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder Series will continue with the USAC Non-Wing Sprints Eastern Storm National Tour on Tuesday night, June 17 with a 7:30 PM starting time. Alpine Building Supply is the race night sponsor as the top non-wing sprint racers chase the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment $10,000 Series Point Fund. This event is the Jesse Hockett Classic, a 40 lap feature paying $6,000 to the winner in a tribute to Jesse Hockett. The Grandview 358 Modifieds will be on the racing program taking part in a series of qualifying events highlighted by a 30 lap feature paying $3,000 to win.

Alpine Building Supply will post a $2,000 bonus for a first-time Thunder Modified feature winner. $5,000 to win 30 laps for your first Thunder win is a treat, previously earned by Alex Yankowski and Eric Kormann who pulled off the accomplishment in 2024 of cashing in on the Alpine Building Supply Bonus.

The Thunder finale is set for Tuesday night, July 1 when the Pennsylvania 410 Sprints Speed Week Series and the 358 Modifieds team up for a spectacular doubleheader. Start time is 7:30 PM with the 410 sprints opening with time trials followed by a series of qualifying events leading up to the Hodnett Cup, a 35 lap feature paying $10,000 to win. The 358 Modifieds will also compete in qualifying events and a 30 lap feature paying $3,000 to win.

POINT FUND GROWS TO $20,000 FULLY GUARANTEED FOR 10 RACE 410 SPRINT CAR SERIES.

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: BAPS Motor Speedway General Manager Kolten Gouse had a list of things he wanted to focus on during the offseason.
Improvements to the facility were obvious near the top. But Gouse also wanted to bolster the point fund for an expanding 410 Sprint Car schedule after a successful 2024 campaign for the division.
Mission accomplished.

A year ago, the RV 4-Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive 410 Sprint Car point fund paid out $17,000. The total has ballooned to $20,000 this year, a 17% percent increase over last season thanks to all the sponsors stepping up in 2025 including RV-4 Wheel Drive & Performance Automotive, Denk Electric, Emory Transmission and Specialty Rigging Company.

“The 410 Sprint Car shows did really well last year,” Gouse said. “The car counts were the best they’ve been since we had the speedway, and we appreciate the support of the teams.

“Thanks to our sponsors, we were able to put together a good point fund for the races last year. Seeing the support we got; we wanted to up that going into this year and make it bigger and better for our teams.”

Danny Dietrich earned $5,000 last year for securing the championship. It will pay the same to win the title in 2025, but Gouse and the management team have spread more money down through the order.

In fact, the $3,000 is being distributed from fourth to 10th in the order. Fourth increased by $300 over last year, with fifth and sixth bumping up $350 and $400, respectively. Seventh through 10th were increased by $500.

“Putting together the point fund for this year, we thought it was important to take care of the teams down through the order,” Gouse said. “The top guys are winning more money on a race-by-race basis, but for the sport to thrive, you need to give back to the smaller teams, as well.

“I think we have put together a solid point fund, especially when you consider it’s only 10 races. This is the second year we’ve had this in place, and we hope to keep growing it in the future.”

The first race in the series takes place this Sunday on Providence Motorsports and Partners Night, which also features the 358 Sprints. Hot-lap time trials begin at 3:15, with heats going off at 4 p.m.

There will be a pair of 410 Sprint Car programs on April 13 and April 27. The latter show will also feature the 358 Modifieds and a 410 Non-Winner’s Race.
The 410 Sprints and PASS 305 Sprints will highlight the May 18 show before the 410 Sprints and Super Sportsman take center stage on June 8.

Pennsylvania Speedweek visits BAPS Motor Speedway on June 29 before the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series roll into town on July 23. The Outlaws show is a non-point event for the locals.

Things pick up again on August 24 with 410 Sprints and PASS 305 Sprints. September is highlighted by the Kevin Gobrecht Classic paying $10,000 to win on September 20. The Britton Finkenbinder Memorial takes place October 25, and the prestigious Sprint Showdown caps the season on November 15.

“We’ve worked hard on building these 410 Sprint Car programs, and the teams and fans have responded with a lot of support,” Gouse said. “None of this would be possible without the drivers and teams showing up to race and the fans purchasing tickets to see our events.

“Last year’s success led us to the decision to add a couple of more races in 2025. We want to continue to build on that success for years to come, and adding to the point fund is a good way to start.”

Port Royal Speedway

Port Royal, PA -- Spring weather can always prove to be tricky in Pennsylvania when it comes to running a dirt race. A 45 minute weather delay didn't stop Anthony Macri and Rick Eckert from finding their way to victory land at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday March 22nd.

In the Weikert's Livestock A-main event, Brock Zearfoss and Kelby Watt led the field to green in the 25 lap race.

Zearfoss would lead the opening two laps before Danny Dietrich would slow to a stop on the front stretch to bring out the race's first caution.

On the ensuing restart, Kelby Watt attempted a sliding pass for the lead on Zearfoss, cutting right in front of the Eichelberger number 8 machine, but Zearfoss was able to steer his ride back to the inside and regain the lead.

With 16 laps to go, Zearfoss faced a brief scare when Austin Bishop spun around in turns 3 and 4 in front of Zearfoss with the leader squeaking by in a near miss.

Following the restart Anthony Macri, after starting in the 7th spot, would pass by Watt and Steve Buckwalter to get to the runner-up spot and start to track down Zearfoss.

An accident in turn 1 involving Doug Hammaker, Mike Wagner and Austin Bishop would bring out the race's only red flag of the night and allowed teams to make minor adjustments to their ride under open red flag conditions.

When the race returned to green with 9 laps remaining, Macri would duck to the inside of Zearfoss and slide in front to take the lead away.

The race's final caution flag came out with 2 laps remaining as Kelby Watt slowed to a stop on the backstretch ending his night and setting up for a green-white-checkered finish.

Zearfoss would pull to the inside of Macri in turn 1 in an attempt for the lead, but Macri stayed glued to the top side of the racetrack to get back by and would hold on for the $6,000 payday.

Zearfoss would hold on for 2nd and Chase Dietz would round out the top 3.

In Penske Racing Shocks super late model competition, Rick Eckert would start on the pole and lead all 25 laps to pick up the opening day win.

He would face challenges from Gregg Satterlee in the midway portion of the race, but a caution flag would reset the field, allowing clean air to Eckert and aided him to a $4,000 victory.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action on Saturday March 29th with Weikert's Livestock 410 sprint cars, Penske Racing Shocks super late models, and Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models.

FREDDIE RAHMER DOMINATES FOR THRILLING VICTORY: Frankie Herr Claims 358 Season Opener

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, March 22 (6PM) 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Saturday, March 29 (6PM) 410 Sprints and Wingless Super Sportsman

Saturday, April 5 (6PM) 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Abbottstown, PA (March 15, 2025) – Freddie Rahmer made a statement on Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway, leading all 30 laps to capture the win in the third race of the 2025 season.

Rahmer surged into the lead at the drop of the green flag with Jeff Halligan, Chad Trout, and Chase Dietz in pursuit. Danny Dietrich quickly made his presence known, challenging Chad Trout for fourth before Chad pulled away.

Rahmer wasted no time building a lead, stretching it out as he reached lapped traffic by lap five. Dietz began closing in on Halligan for second as the leaders navigated heavy traffic. On lap 10, Dietz powered past Halligan coming out of turn four to take over the runner-up spot.

Trout pressured Halligan for third but bobbled on the back stretch allowing Dietrich to get by. Trout got back by Dietrich but the two continued to swap positions in a spirited battle behind the leaders. Dietz methodically reeled Rahmer in as the laps clicked off in traffic.

The race was halted on lap 14 when Preston Lattomus flipped in turn three, with Kelby Watt having nowhere to go his night ended as well. Both drivers were unharmed.

On the restart, Rahmer chose the high side while Dietz went low. Dietrich took advantage of the restart to grab third from Halligan. Another red flag flew on lap 16 after Dylan Norris and Tyler Ross tangled on the front stretch. Norris was able to rejoin the field.

Rahmer maintained control on the restart with Dietz and Dietrich in tow. Halligan pulled away from Chad Trout in the battle for fourth as lapped traffic came into play again on lap 22. Dietz kept Rahmer in his sights and began closing in with five laps to go.

Behind the leaders, Troy Wagaman worked his way past Trout for fifth, but Trout fought back in the closing laps.

In the end, Rahmer held off Dietz’s late charge to capture the win, with Dietrich completing the podium. Halligan and Trout rounded out the top five.

Frankie Herr Claims 358 Season Opener

Frankie Herr kicked off the 2025 358 Sprint Car season at Lincoln Speedway in dramatic fashion, surviving multiple restarts and holding off a hard-charging field to score the win.

Nash Ely and Herr made up the front row for the 20-lap feature, with Ely jumping out to the early lead. The action was halted almost immediately when Brian Wolf Jr. flipped in turn three and Olivia Thayer crashed in turn four, bringing out the red flag and forcing a complete restart. Both drivers were uninjured.

On the second attempt, Herr powered into the lead, but the race was stopped again when Brayden Mickley and Tom Senseney tangled in turn one, bringing out another red flag.

The third time was the charm as Herr and Ely went wheel-to-wheel into turn one, with Herr gaining the advantage out of turn two. Behind them, Chase Gutshall and Ashley Cappetta battled for third, with Gutshall securing the spot.

Cody Fletcher began making moves on the high side, working his way into the top five. On lap five, the caution flag flew when Trevor Stover spun in turn four. Herr led Ely, Gutshall, Cappetta, and Fletcher to the single-file restart. Ely looked under Herr on the restart but couldn’t complete the pass.

Fletcher continued his charge, passing Cappetta for fourth before another caution on lap nine for a Wyatt Hinkle spin in turn four.

On the restart, Fletcher went to the outside and took third from Gutshall, then set his sights on Ely. Fletcher ran a half lane higher to build momentum but lost ground when he tried the bottom in turns one and two.

Dylan Norris entered the mix late, passing Cappetta for fifth and challenging Gutshall for fourth. On the final lap, Norris completed the pass to secure fourth at the line.

Herr held off Ely’s late challenge to capture the season-opening victory, with Fletcher rounding out the podium. Dylan Norris and Chase Gutshall completed the top five.

Next Saturday, March 22, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints. Racing is scheduled for 6PM with pit gates opening at 3:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

DIETRICH CHARGES TO VICTORY: Lincoln Kearchner Claims East Coast Legends Season Opener

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, March 15 (6PM) 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Saturday, March 22 (6PM) 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Saturday, March 29 (6PM) 410 Sprints and Wingless Super Sportsman

Abbottstown, PA (March 9, 2025) – Defending track champion Troy Wagaman started on the pole for the 30-lap feature at Lincoln Speedway on Sunday afternoon, but it was Danny Dietrich who made a statement, charging to victory in a thrilling battle through lapped traffic and late-race restarts.

At the drop of the green flag, Wagaman led the field into turn one with Chase Dietz settling into second, followed by Dietrich in third and Chad Trout in fourth. Brock Zearfoss ran fifth in the early laps but quickly worked his way past Trout for fourth. The top three—Wagaman, Dietz, and Dietrich—raced the high line through turns three and four while Dietrich experimented with the low groove in turns one and two.

The first caution of the race flew on lap six when Jordan Givler spun in turn two. On the restart, Wagaman led Dietz, Dietrich, Zearfoss, and Trout, but a red flag quickly followed after Freddie Rahmer flipped in turn one. The incident also collected Brandon Rahmer, JJ Loss, and Lucas Wolfe. Loss and Brandon Rahmer were able to rejoin the field for the restart.

When racing resumed, Wagaman defended the top lane, but Dietz made his move, diving to the bottom of turn three to take the lead on lap seven. Dietrich followed suit, passing Wagaman for second as Brock Zearfoss challenged for third. An intense moment saw Brock scrape the wall in turn two, nearly spinning before regaining control. The incident caused Trout to check up, allowing Tyler Ross and Matt Campbell to move up positions.

Dietz reached lapped traffic on lap 12, with Dietrich hot on his heels. Sticking to his preferred low line, Dietrich battled Dietz wheel-to-wheel, officially leading the race at the halfway point. Tyler Ross continued his charge forward, breaking into the top five after passing Campbell.

A caution on lap 19 for a Justin Whittall spin in turn four reset the field, with Dietrich leading Dietz, Wagaman, Zearfoss and Ross. Ross made quick work of Zearfoss to take fourth, as Zearfoss struggled and fell off the pace.

A final caution on lap 23, brought on by Zearfoss’ coming to a stop in turn 2, erased Dietrich’s 1.8-second lead, but the Gettysburg driver nailed the restart, maintaining control in the closing laps. A hard-charging Chad Trout battled with Campbell for fifth, but a slip-up allowed Aaron Bollinger to sneak by.

Dietrich emerged victorious, claiming his first win of the season in the second race at Lincoln Speedway. The race ended under red flag conditions after Whittall was involved in another incident after the checkered waved for Dietrich.

Official Top Five Finish: 1. Danny Dietrich; 2. Chase Dietz; 3. Troy Wagaman; 4. Tyler Ross; 5. Matt Campbell

Lincoln Kearchner Claims East Coast Legends Season Opener

The East Coast Legends feature at Lincoln Speedway on Sunday delivered intense side-by-side action, dramatic cautions, and a thrilling three-car battle for the win. In the end, it was Lincoln Kearchner who emerged victorious after leading from the start and fending off late-race challenges.

At the drop of the green flag, Kearchner and Bill Diehl went side by side into turn one before going three-wide off turn two. However, an eight-car pileup in turn three forced a complete restart. On the second attempt, Kearchner again led out of turn two, while Diehl and Mike Racine battled for second.

Seth Kearchner quickly entered the mix, making it a three-wide battle for second with Diehl and Racine before settling into a head-to-head duel with Diehl. Seth moved into second behind his son on lap five, but a caution for a three-car spin in turn four negated the pass.

On the restart, Lincoln led Diehl, Seth, Racine, and Chris Transeau. Logan Jones made his way into the top five after getting by Transeau, then moved up to fourth past Racine. The race saw another caution on lap 11 when Jones spun in turn two, collecting Wayne Dutterer in the process.

As racing resumed, Diehl made a bid for the lead, sticking his nose under Lincoln down the backstretch. At the line, the two were side by side with Seth close behind. Lincoln held the top spot as Diehl and Seth continued their battle for second. With six laps to go, Jeremy Ott joined the front pack, moving into third as the top three pulled away from the rest of the field.

A caution on lap 17 dampened the excitement of the three-car battle for the lead, setting up a three-lap dash to the finish. Ott challenged Seth for second on the restart but couldn’t complete the pass—until the final lap, when he edged ahead at the line to claim the runner-up spot behind race winner Lincoln Kearchner.

Official Top Five Finish: 1. Lincoln Kearchner; 2. Jeremy Ott; 3. Seth Kearchner; 4. Bill Diehl; 5. Mike Racine

Williams Grove Opening Day Win List Includes Favorites And Upsets

Oval Opens 2025 Season Sunday At 2

3/9/25

Mechanicsburg –Opening day at Williams Grove Speedway is a tradition that dates back to the maiden season in 1939 when The Flying Dutchman, Tommy Hinnershitz of Oley claimed the very first race held at the track.

And another chapter in Williams Grove lidlifter history is set to unfold this Sunday, March 16 at 2 pm when the 2025 season opener is spun off featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars.

Presented by Hoosier, gates for Opening Day 2025 will open at noon with the sprint cars racing for a $5,500 payday in a 25-lap main event.

Adult general admission is set at $20 with youth ages 13-20 admitted for just $10 while kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

A host of prominent and some not so well known names dot the opening day win list at Williams Grove Speedway.

Hinnershitz, a AAA East champion in his career, claimed a total of three openers.

Other top names of the 1940s and 1950s that scored the Williams Grove opener included Ted Horn, Jimmy Bryan, Johnny Mackison Sr. and more.

On his way to immortality for fans of the 1960s and 1970s, Leroy Felty scored the opener twice in his career, in 1961 and 1966.

A Texan destined for greatness by the name of AJ Foyt took the victory in 1964.

Another man on his way to racing immortality, Jan Opperman hit the local scene for his first of three Williams Grove opening day wins in 1970.

Other popular winners of the 1960s and 1970s included Kenny Weld, Dick Tobias, Kramer Williamson, Smokey Snellbaker, Ray Tilley and Bobby Allen.

The duo of Lynn Paxton and Keith Kauffman struck for a total of five lidlifter wins in the decade of the 1980s while a virtual unknown in sprint cars, Kevin Collins, upended the field in 1983.

The 1990s dawned with Kenny Adams scoring a victory before Don Kreitz Jr. and Fred Rahmer each took a pair of opener wins.

Brian Paulus closed the decade with what was perhaps considered an upset win before a youngster from Enumclaw, Washington, began the 2000s with an undisputed upset, coming at the hands of a pre-Nascar Kasey Kahne.

Greg Hodnett would etch his name on the historical first race win list twice during the 2000s while familiar names like Lance Dewease, Cris Eash, Kreitz and Rahmer would return along with a popular win for underdog Mike Erdley of Elizabethville.

Rahmer and Hodnett continued winning into the 2010s while first time checkers went to Danny Dietrich and Lucas Wolfe of Mechanicsburg.

By far, the upset of the decade of the 2010s came at the hands of New Oxfords Gerard McIntyre Jr. in 2014.

Opening Days of the 2020s so far have seen invaders score three of five events.

California outlaws driver Carson Macedo dropped in for opening day laurels in 2020 with Indianans Justin Peck and Zeb Wise following suit in 2022 and 2023.

Defending track champion Freddie Rahmer broke through in 2021 while Anthony Macri of Dillsburg is the defending Opening Day champion.

Port Royal Speedway Cancels Opening Day Due to Saturated Grounds and Poor Weekend Forecast

March 6, 2025 -- Port Royal, PA – Port Royal Speedway has been forced to cancel this Saturday’s scheduled Opening Day presented by Packer’s Concessions due to saturated grounds from recent rainfall and an unfavorable weather forecast for the weekend. Despite preparations to kick off the highly anticipated 2025 racing season, precipitation received this week has left the racing surface and surrounding areas unsuitable for competition.

The Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprint Car and Penske Racing Shocks Super Late Model divisions will now make their season debut on March 22 as part of a rescheduled Opening Day program.

With this cancellation, the next scheduled event at The Speed Palace will now be the Speed Showcase Weekend on March 14-15, featuring the Bob Hilbert’s Sportswear Short Track Super Series. This two-day event will bring some of the best modified competitors to the track for an action-packed weekend.

Port Royal Speedway appreciates the patience and understanding of its fans, drivers, and teams as we navigate the early season weather challenges. We look forward to seeing everyone at the track soon for another great year of racing.

New Rides For Williams Grove Drivers In 2025

Opening Day Is Two Weeks Away

3/2/25

Mechanicsburg – Slated to get underway in two weeks, on Sunday afternoon March 16 at 2 pm, the new racing season at Williams Grove Speedway might find fans working to catch up on off-season ride changes.

The Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint oval track champion for two years running, Freddie Rahmer is back behind the wheel of his father’s familiar No. 51 machine for the 2025 campaign.

Rahmer vacated the seat of Rich Eichelberger’s No. 8 at the conclusion of last season after taking the crowns.

The Salfordville speedster is no stranger to his dad’s mount, having also scored two Williams Grove track championships in the car as he got started in the sport.

The Eichelberger No. 8 in the meantime quickly found a new jockey for its wheel.

Jonestown’s Brock Zearfoss will be Eichelberger’s new hired pilot, coming back home to race at Williams Grove on a weekly basis after spending several years racing on the road with national touring series.

Both owner and driver have set a goal to win the 2025 track title at Williams Grove.

The Stehman No. 23 machine, formerly driven by Washington’s Devon Borden, has picked up York’s Chase Dietz as pilot for the season at hand.

Dietz picked up one win at Williams Grove last season aboard his own No. 2D while piloting the Zemco No. 1 elsewhere in the area.

However Dietz changed homes over the winter months to take on the No. 23 chores and along for the ride has come former Zemco mechanic Tommy Carl.

Devon Borden meanwhile has taken over the reigns of the Grove Racing No. 45 based out of Ohio.

Borden and the No. 45 will compete at Williams Grove several times in 2025 including for the return of the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints series to the track on June 6 as part of the Lynn Paxton EMMR Legends Classic.

Elsewhere, Ryan Smith will pilot the Don Kreitz Jr. No. 69K in select Williams Grove races throughout the year while Daryn Pittman will jockey the car in outlaws races as he has done the last two seasons.

And stepping up from 358 sprint competition for at least some 410 action at the speedway this year will be Grantville’s Doug Hammaker.

The defending oval 358 sprint champion, Hammaker will be the wheel man for the return of the Kline No. 22 sprinter to area wars as car owner Sandy Kline reenters the fray.

Hoosier will present Opening Day at Williams Grove on Sunday March 16.

Paying $5,500 to the winner of the 25-lap affair, the season lidlifter will be a 410 sprint car-only, afternoon racing program.

The full 2025 Williams Grove Speedway schedule of events can be viewed and printed from the new website.

Haney from the nearby Lehigh Valley lived overseas for twelve years and spent some time in North Carolina before relocating to this area. He recalls taking in a show at Grandview Speedway many years ago and looks forward to returning to the Hill.

The idea of a $2,000 bonus for a Pennsylvania driver to win the Kubota High Limit event was so well received in 2024 that Alpine Building Supply of Schuylkill Haven, PA will sponsor the award on Tuesday night, May 20. The bonus should lure some interest for other local sprint car drivers to be on hand. For a Pennsylvania driver, the win would be worth $22,000 and the race will pay $1,500 just to take the green flag in the feature event.

Brent Marks from nearby Myerstown, PA won this event last year for his first Thunder on the Hill win and collected the $2,000 bonus as a Pennsylvania winner. Marks will return to defend his win and watch for two time Thunder on the Hill feature winner Rico Abreu of St. Helena, CA to be in the field.

Alpine Building Supply will post a $2,000 bonus for a first-time Thunder Modified feature winner. $5,000 to win 30 laps for your first Thunder win is a treat, previously earned by Alex Yankowski and Eric Kormann who pulled off the accomplishment in 2024 of cashing in on the Alpine Building Supply Bonus.

The Thunder finale is set for Tuesday night, July 1 when the Pennsylvania 410 Sprints Speed Week Series and the 358 Modifieds team up for a spectacular doubleheader. Start time is 7:30 PM with the 410 sprints opening with time trials followed by a series of qualifying events leading up to the Hodnett Cup, a 35 lap feature paying $10,000 to win.

CHASE DIETZ SCORES ICE BREAKER VICTORY IN DEBUT WITH NEW TEAM

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, March 1 (3PM) 410 Sprints and PA Micro Midgets

Saturday, March 8 (6PM) 410 Sprints and East Coast Legends

Saturday, March 15 (6PM) 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints

Abbottstown, PA (February 23, 2025) – After falling back on the initial start, Chase Dietz rebounded in spectacular fashion, charging through the field to capture the feature win at Lincoln Speedway on Sunday, February 23 at the Ice Breaker presented by Tyson Fence. Dietz’s win came in his first race with his new team, Stehman Motorsports,

Dietz, who started on the pole, slipped to fifth at the drop of the green flag as Gerard McIntyre took control of the race with Danny Dietrich and Jeff Halligan in pursuit. Dietrich powered into the lead on lap nine, just before lapped traffic came into play. Meanwhile, Dietz began to find his rhythm, working his way back into contention.

By lap 16, Dietz made his move on McIntyre, sliding into the runner-up spot going into turn three. As Dietrich battled lapped traffic, Dietz began to close the gap, both drivers favoring the high side of the speedway. A late-race adjustment saw Dietrich try the low line in turns 1 and 2, allowing Dietz to gain even more ground.

The battle for the lead intensified, with Dietz pulling alongside Dietrich coming out of turn four, but Dietrich held on. A strong run off turn 2 gave Dietz the momentum he needed, and he surged ahead out of turn four, taking the lead on lap 23.

Troy Wagaman moved into third as Dietz navigated lapped traffic, but a late-race caution with three laps to go threatened to shake things up. McIntyre and Tyler Ross tangled, with McIntyre—who had led the opening eight laps—coming to a stop in turn 2.

On the final restart, Dietz got a strong jump. Dietrich made one last charge with two to go, but Dietz was too strong, crossing the finish line 1.115 seconds ahead for the victory.

The top five finishers were Chase Dietz, Danny Dietrich, Troy Wagaman, Brent Marks, and Aaron Bollinger.

Next Saturday, March 1, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 Sprints and PA Micro Midgets. Racing is scheduled for 3PM with pit gates opening at 12:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 1PM.

Brock Zearfoss Returns To Weekly Williams Grove Wars In 2025

Driver teams with Eichelberger and former chief Shuttlesworth for title campaign

2/23/25

Mechanicsburg – When the new season starts for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on March 16, a familiar face will return to the weekly sprint car wars at the track.

Brock Zearfoss of Jonestown will again be a weekly competitor at Williams Grove Speedway in 2025 after spending the last six and a half years racing primarily on the road with the World of Outlaws, All Stars and High Limit Sprint Cars Series.

It has been a combination of some self-made plans and weekly car owner Rich Eichelberger’s suddenly vacant No. 8 seat that has put “The Jonestown Jet” back on solid ground at Williams Grove again in 2025.

“It kinda’ just fell into place. I was contemplating coming off the road last year (2024) but we decided to just stick it out and try it again but we ran into crew chief problems and I was making my own calls from May on,” Zearfoss said recently while admitting he’s tired of sitting at home, waiting to get the local season started.

Car owner Eichelberger had suddenly and unexpectedly lost track champion Freddie Rahmer after the conclusion of the Williams Grove season in 2024 and that was right about the time that Zearfoss teamed back up with old crew chief Jim Shuttlesworth to finish out the year.

The driver-crew chief pairing had been together before in the mid-2010s with much success and they quickly turned their reunion into a win during the Central Pennsylvania season finale at BAPS Motor Speedway in November.

“I heard Freddie left that deal and obviously Rich is a really good guy and I honestly never talked to him at all until I called him that night and I figured he’s a good car owner and it’s hard to get good car owners for one much less keep one in the sport anymore,” Zearfoss aid.

“I just called him up out of the blue, I didn’t know what his plans were but I told him if you’d like to continue racing I’d be open to running Williams Grove or something.”

That call led two a two-hour meeting that cemented Zearfoss’ return to the Williams Grove wars.

Zearfoss and Eichelberger will campaign two nights a week in the area while the driver also keeps his own No. 3Z on the track at additional area shows and some others on the road.

“I went down to his shop and we talked. I looked at is as a win-win and we can run 100 races and it saves us (3Z team) 50 races of money. I was looking at it as taking some off of our plate and keeping Rich racing and he was interested in it for sure,” Zearfoss said.

Zearfoss is pumped to get into the 2025 Williams Grove season.

“I’m actually probably the most excited to go racing in a season that I have been probably in four or five years. I’m confident that it’s gonna’ be good. I know its gonna’ be good,” he says.

“I feel like we have the right pieces in the right places. I think once we get goin’ here we’re gonna’ be really good. I know Rich is excited. I haven’t really been this excited to go racing since probably the first year on the outlaws tour.”

Zearfoss says getting back with Shuttlesworth and being able to bring him into the Eichelberger team was a key component to making his homecoming work.

“It brought a different level of confidence to the team and myself - having Jim come back and filling that role that we needed filled.”

“He knew what I needed. He understands me and I understand him and we just click. And it makes life easier,” Zearfoss relates.

“You can’t be on the road without a good crew chief and expect to beat those guys. And it was taking a lot of time from me,” the driver reveals.

“We decided to come home for a year or two and try to regroup. And I worked with Jim before and we had a lot of success and I just thought it was the right move.”

Zearfoss says both he and veteran driver/owner Eichelberger have their eyes set on the 2025 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint track title at Williams Grove.

“Truthfully I know that’s one of his goals and we’ll do our best to do that,” Zearfoss says.

Eichelberger lays claim to the last two Williams Grove track championships with Rahmer at the helm.

“Rich has good stuff. And he’s not afraid to make a purchase if we need something else. I’d say we’re in good shape. He’s got plenty of equipment and it’s good quality stuff,” Zearfoss says of his new car owner.

“The position that we are in right now, I feel like we’re just in the best spot we’ve been at in the last four or five years.”

“At the end of the day there’s a little less on my plate and I can focus on driving again and doing what I need to do in the racecars,” Zearfoss summarizes.

Now 34, Brock Zearfoss owns four career 410 sprint car wins at Williams Grove Speedway and a pair in 358 sprint action.

He pulled off a stunning upset aboard Aaron Long’s No. 58 when he trounced the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove in the 2017 Summer Nationals.

Hoosier will present Opening Day at Williams Grove in three weeks, on Sunday afternoon, March 16 at 2 pm.

Paying $5,500 to the winner of the 25-lap affair, the season lidlifter will be a 410 sprint car-only, afternoon racing program.

Port Royal Speedway Rescinds Decision on Season Seat Ticket Policy for 2025 Bob Weikert Memorial and Tuscarora 50

PORT ROYAL, PA – February 12, 2025 – Port Royal Speedway has announced a revision to its previously stated policy regarding season seat holders and ticket requirements for two of the track’s marquee events, the Bob Weikert Memorial and the Tuscarora 50.

Initially, the Speedway required all season seat holders without a season pass to purchase a general admission ticket for each seat for these races. However, after carefully reviewing the logistical challenges this policy would present, the Speedway has decided to rescind this requirement.

Season seat holders will now be able to retain their seats for the Bob Weikert Memorial and the Tuscarora 50 without the additional requirement of purchasing a general admission ticket in advance, provided they have secured their season seats as per the previously established process.

Season seats are on sale through the end of February and season passes until April 30th.

Port Royal Speedway appreciates the patience and understanding of its loyal supporters as it continues to refine policies to enhance the fan experience.

Clinton County Speedway Announces $7,500 to Win Event

Mill Hall, PA – The 410 Sprint Car drivers have spoken highly of the recent race events over the last few years hosted at the Clinton County Speedway. Race Promoter, Jason McCahan took the opportunity on Saturday at the Racing Xtravagana Show in York to give the 410 Sprint Car drivers even more reason to be talking about the 1/3 mile oval.

“The speedway recently learned that it received a tourism grant from the Clinton County Tourism Agency and the Clinton County government,” said McCahan. “As a result of the added funding, our July 11th 410 Sprint Car event will now pay $7,500 to win.”

The Speedway’s 410 events have attracted drivers from several different states, which was important to the Tourism agency. This year, we will have 2 high profile 410 Sprint Car Shows -the $7,500 to win show on Friday, July 11th and the annual Phil Walter Classic paying $6,300 on Saturday August 9th. Both events will pay $500 to take the green flag.

In addition to these 2 events, the speedway will again be the opening event for the annual Appalichian Mountain Super Late Model Speedweek event on Friday June 6th.

The Eastern Storm was created by Grandview Speedway Track Owner Bruce Rogers and Special events organizer Bob Miller. In 2006 Miller met with USAC at the Lawrenceburg Speedway to offer the idea of bringing USAC back East. The Berks County tradition of USAC racing goes back to 1956 when Oley, PA driver Tommy Hinnershitz won the inaugural USAC event. Hinnershitz won the USAC event again in 1957 and 1958.

The USAC history at Reading continued until 1979 when the track closed. The roster of USAC winners at Reading is legendary and to name just a few who join Hinnershitz on the win list include A.J. Foyt, Johnny Thomson, Eddie Sachs, Jim Hurtibise, Roger McCluskey, Bobby Unser, Johnny Rutherford, Red Riegel, Greg Weld, Bruce Walkup, Larry Dickson, Gary Bettenhausen, Toby Tobias, Pancho Carter, Larry “Boom Boom” Cannon, Lee Osborne and Ronnie Shuman. Paul Pitzer won the USAC finale at Reading in 1979.

Twenty-eight years later, the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series re-introduced USAC non-wing sprint car racing to Berks and other surrounding counties with the birth of the USAC Eastern Storm in 2007. The Series opened at the one-third mile Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA. The USAC Eastern Storm has been growing in this area ever since that first race.

Williams Grove Speedway Mourns Loss Of Car Owner Joe Harz

11/18/24

Mechanicsburg – For the second time in just a few short days, Williams Grove Speedway is mourning the loss of one of its greatest car owners, Joe Harz of Elmer, New Jersey.

Harz passed away recently at the age of 77.

The Garden State owner fielded the notable yellow No. 88H sprint car at Williams Grove and in the region for the better part of 18 seasons, spanning portions of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

By the end of his tenure as a sprint car owner, the likeable and lanky Harz had amassed a total of 169 total sprint victories including 41 at Williams Grove Speedway.

Harz started his ownership career in the modified ranks in 1979 and owned for drivers Lee Elwell and Meme DeSantis until 1984 when he took Desantis sprint car racing.

After nine wins with Desantis in the mods, the pairing scored four sprint wins before the close of 1985.

Harz had the talents of Salfordville’s Fred Rahmer behind his wheel more than once, first in 1986 and then again from 2002 through 2005 when the duo closed out Harz’s career with 85 victories to their credit including a 34-win season in 2004 followed by 29 wins a year later in what was to be Joe Harz’s final season owning a sprint car.

Lance Dewease of Fayetteville piloted the No. 88H from mid-1999 through the 2001 season, amassing a total of 47 wins.

Red Lion’s Kenny Adams completed two stints for Harz during his ownership tenure, scoring 22 total wins for the stable.

At Williams Grove Speedway, Adams and Rahmer won the season opener for Harz in 1990 and 2005, respectively.

Rahmer won the Grove Early Bird Championship for Harz in 2005.

Dewease and Rahmer scored a total of three Mitch Smith Memorials for the team.

With the likes of Dewease and Rahmer at the wheel, the Joe Harz No. 88H bested the World of Outlaws in the Williams Grove Summer Nationals (Rahmer) in 2005 and in the prestigious National Open (Dewease) in 2001.

Another Grove outlaws win for Rahmer occurred in May of 2004 and Rahmer also won the WoO National Open Prelim in 2005.

Dewease upended the World of Outlaws Division II drivers for Harz at Williams Grove in 2001.

In the Williams Grove National Open, aside from his ownership victory with Dewease as driver in 2001, Harz’s mounts garnered five additional top five finishes in the race over a span of eight consecutive season including with Keith Kauffman in 1998.

Dewease scored the Williams Grove Speedway track title for Harz in 2001 before Rahmer claimed Grove laurels for the 88H in 2004 and 2005.

The pairing of Harz and Rahmer also took the 2005 Williams Grove Diamond Series title.

Other track titles accumulated by the Harz stable included five at Lincoln Speedway, four at Grandview, one at Selinsgrove and one at Baps Motor Speedway.

Harz’s cars also piled up a total of five Pennsylvania Speedweek crowns.

Sean Michael scored nine URC Sprint wins for Harz during the 1996 and 1997 seasons while also taking the 1997 URC Sprint tour title.

Other drivers to grace the Harz No. 88H seat included Kramer Williamson, Rich Lupo, Matt Bruce and Mike Wagner.

Williams Grove Speedway celebrated the dedicated and always friendly car owner with a tribute event in 2022.

The legacy of Joe Harz at Williams Grove Speedway and in the sport is one that can boast of prolific wins and win totals that will never be forgotten along with his most-friendly character and persona.

Williams Grove Speedway extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Joe Harz along with its utmost respect for his dedication and contribution to the sport.

SELINSGROVE, PA (November 17th, 2024

The Selinsgrove Speedway will be back in action for the 2025 racing season. After an abbreviated 2024 season, the track, that first opened in 1946, will be operated by a new promotional team. Snyder County Dirt (SCD) Management Group llc has entered into a lease agreement with the Selinsgrove Fair Board ensuring the speedway will remain in operation.

All have worked in various positions at the track.

“We are tentatively planning a schedule of 23 races.” Schick said. “Racing will primarily be on Friday and Saturday nights with some big events on Sunday’s.”

“We are currently working with both Port Royal and Clinton County speedways to have a schedule that will benefit all the tracks.” Schick continued. “I anticipate that we will release a complete schedule sometime in December.”

“Late Models will be our weekly show with Roadrunners as our other main division but plans are to also have 410, 305 and 358 Sprint Cars, Limited Late Models and Wingless Sportsman on the schedule. We are also looking at having a $1000 to win 4 cylinder race and have spoken to other sanctioning bodies as to their availability.”

“We want to make the speedway the community place to be throughout the season with several special event nights designed to make race night fun for the whole family. Ladies’ Night, Kid’s Night, Fan Appreciation Night, First Responders’ Night, Military Night, and Back to School Night have all been popular in the past and will be back on the schedule.”

Williams Grove Speedway Remembers Walter Dyer, No. 461 Car Owner

 11/15/24

Mechanicsburg – The staff and management of Williams Grove Speedway is mourning the loss of one of its most venerable and iconic sprint car owners, Walter Dyer of Mercersburg.

Dyer, the decades-long owner of the Dyer Masonry No. 461 “Brickmobile” sprint car, passed away early Friday at the age of 90.

Aside from fielding his iconic No. 461 sprint car with a brick wing, Walter “Bud” Dyer is perhaps best known for launching the prolific career of veteran sprint car star Lance Dewease in late 1991.

It was a tenure that would net over 130 wins for the pair.

However Dyer’s legacy of ownership and success dates to 1967 and his first driver, John Ebersole, but it was a career that would span some 34 years and encompass some of the best drivers the sport had to offer while they picked up some of the biggest races the sport had to offer.

At Williams Grove Speedway Dyer’s car beat the World of Outlaws on more than one occasion, with pilots Billy Stief and Dewease at the wheel.

Dyer Williams Grove victories, totaling 49 in all, came in not only outlaws and All Stars races but they also came in the prestigious National Open in 1996, in the Open Preliminary in 1994 and 1996, the Early Bird Championship in 1995 and 1996 and in the Jack Gunn Memorial in 1995 and 1996 – all with Dewease as pilot.

Dewease also took the Williams Grove Mitch Smith Memorial for Dyer in 1992, 1995 and 1997 while driver Joey Allen claimed the race for him in 1990.

Dyer’s No. 461 first graced the historic Williams Grove winner’s circle in 1977 with Jimmy Sheaffer in the seat after taking its first win anywhere at Hagerstown Speedway in 1973 with Jimmy Edwards as driver.

And ironically, on 4/6/01, Dyer saw his car take its final victory anywhere, at Williams Grove Speedway with Delaware’s Curt Michael scoring the checkered flag.

After retiring from the sport following the 2001 season, Dyer made a brief, one-year comeback in 2007 with grandson-in-law Tommy Beavers working the throttle but the record books would close on the No. 461 with over 165 wins having passed over its famed brick wing.

Drivers Cliff Brian and Mike Wagner took the only Williams Grove wins of their careers aboard the Dyer mount.

Walter Dyer was the 1994 and 1996 sprint car owner track titlist at Williams Grove Speedway with Dewease as his driver.

Dyer was also the 1997 Pennsylvania Speedweek car owner champion.

Other track titles included seven at Port Royal Speedway and a 1998 Grandview Speedway Thunder on the Hill series title.

Some of the other drivers that graced the seat of the No. 461 during its memorable tenure included: Sean Michael, Paul Lotier, George Ferguson Jr., Gary Howsare, Len Thompson, Don Hill, Tom Stimely, Steve Siegel, Van May, Dub May, Rod Gross, Scott Tobias, Keith Kauffman, Bob Elbin, Smokey Snellbaker, Kramer Williamson and Gary Brazier.

At the age of 86, Walt Dyer was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa, in 2020.

Williams Grove Speedway feted the dedicated, familiar and jovial car owner with a tribute event in 2018.

The mark that Walt Dyer and his iconic car left on sprint car racing in the region and at Williams Grove Speedway was indelible and will never be forgotten.

Williams Grove Speedway extends its deepest condolences to the many family and friends of Mr. Walter Dyer along with its deepest appreciation for all that he meant to so many.

MARKS CLAIMS $15,000 VICTORY PLUS $5,000 BONUS IN THRILLING FINAL 50 AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY; TROY WAGAMAN SECURES FIRST CAREER TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP; Rumsey Claims Victory to Close Out Season at Lincoln Speedway; Steve Owings Claims Third Track Championship

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, February 22 & Sunday, February 23, 2025 ICE BREAKER 30 WEEKEND

Abbottstown, PA (October 20, 2024) – Lincoln Speedway's Final 50 delivered an unforgettable night of racing, with Brent Marks securing the $15,000 top prize after a hard-fought battle plus the $5,000 bonus for leading at lap 25. The highly anticipated event saw intense action and lead changes as the drivers navigated lapped traffic and vied for positions throughout the race.

The 50-lap feature kicked off with Matt Campbell grabbing the early lead after a strong start on the high side, overtaking Brent Marks, who led the field into turn 1. Behind them, Chase Dietz and Jacob Allen locked into a duel for third, with Allen initially holding the position. As the laps clicked off, Allen put pressure on Marks for second while Dietz closed in. Dietz made his move on lap 5, overtaking Allen for third on the backstretch.

Anthony Macri quickly entered the fray, taking fifth from Devon Borden on lap 6 and then setting his sights on the front runners. Campbell faced lapped traffic early, with three lapped cars separating him from Marks before Marks also caught the slower cars. Macri continued his charge, overtaking Allen for fourth on lap 10.

As Campbell battled to clear lapped traffic, Marks closed the gap. The pair raced through the slower cars, with Marks testing the bottom of the track but sticking to the top after seeing Dietz close in. By lap 22, Macri had climbed to third, challenging Dietz for position. Dietz hit the wall while trying to reclaim the spot, bringing out the caution.

On the restart, Marks pounced, taking the lead from Campbell just before the scheduled halfway break. The running order for the restart after the break was Marks, Campbell, Macri, Freddie Rahmer, and Troy Wagaman, who moved into fifth after Jacob Allen was penalized for passing before the cone. Marks earned a $5,000 bonus for leading at the break, Campbell took home a $2,000 bonus, Macri scored an extra $1,500, Rahmer’s share was $1,000 and Wagaman’s was $500.

When racing resumed, Macri made his move into second and began to challenge Marks for the lead. Meanwhile, Rahmer and Campbell fiercely battled for third, with Campbell holding off Rahmer's slider attempt. As the leaders worked through lapped traffic again on lap 34, the top three—Marks, Macri, and Campbell—stuck to the high side, keeping the fans on the edge of their seats.

Macri began experimenting with the low line, gaining ground on Marks as the laps wound down. However, Marks held steady, maintaining his advantage and crossing the finish line first to claim the $15,000 victory. Macri finished a close second, followed by Campbell in third, Rahmer in fourth, and Wagaman rounding out the top five.

With his fifth place finish, Troy Wagaman secured his first Lincoln Speedway Track Championship. Wagaman’s mechanic, Ben Engle, was awarded the 2024 Mechanic of the Year honors. The 2024 Rookie of the Year was Kody Hartlaub. Aaron Bollinger received the Most Improved Driver Award. The 2024 Harry Fletcher Sportsmanship Award was given to Chad Trout.

Rumsey Claims Victory to Close Out Season at Lincoln Speedway; Steve Owings Claims Third Track Championship

The 358 sprint car feature saw Logan Rumsey take the checkered flag after a fierce battle for the lead, marking an exciting conclusion to Lincoln’s 2024 season. The race was filled with intense competition and bold moves, making for an unforgettable evening.

Preston Lattomus led the field into turn 1, holding off Rumsey to lead the opening lap. However, the race was quickly halted by a red flag after Cody Fletcher took a wild tumble in turn 3. Thankfully, Fletcher walked away from the crash uninjured.

When racing resumed, Lattomus continued to pace the field, with Rumsey in tow. The top five on the restart were Lattomus, Rumsey, Wyatt Hinkle, Matt Findley, and Frankie Herr. Doug Hammaker, battling for the season championship, quickly moved into the top five, while Jayden Wolf, another title contender, lurked just behind in sixth.

The caution flag flew at the halfway point for debris in turn 3, setting up another crucial restart. The top five at that point were Lattomus, Rumsey, Hinkle, Findley, and Hammaker. When the green flag dropped, Rumsey began his assault on the lead, going wheel-to-wheel with Lattomus as they crossed the line on lap 11. Rumsey finally powered ahead on lap 12, taking over the top spot.

Lattomus stayed close, attempting to reclaim the lead, but Rumsey began to pull away as the laps wound down. Meanwhile, Hammaker continued his charge, moving up to fourth and keeping his championship hopes alive. Despite Lattomus' efforts to close the gap, Rumsey was unstoppable, cruising to the victory.

Steve Owings claimed his third track championship in the 358 sprint car division with his tenth place finish.

Rahmer Nabs Fourth Williams Grove Track Title In 2024

10/13/24

Mechanicsburg – Freddie Rahmer of Salfordville wrapped up his fourth career Williams Grove Speedway Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car track title with the conclusion of the National Open at the track on October 5.

The 28-year old Rahmer took top honors for the fourth time in his career at the historic oval.

The crown is also his second in a row aboard the Rich Eichelberger-owned No. 8.

Rahmer’s previous Williams Grove Speedway track titles came in 2017, 2020 and in 2023.

His oval titles in 2017 and 2020 were at the wheel of his father’s No. 51.

Throughout the 2024 campaign at Williams Grove Speeedway, Rahmer garnered just one victory, on March 22.

But he backed up the win with a trio of seconds, four thirds, a pair of fourths, three fifths, three sixths and one eighth place finish.

His average finish at the end of the season capped at 7.6.

He recorded two heat victories during 2024 qualifying event action.

The speedster now owns a total of 18 career wins at the Cumberland County oval.

Rahmer’s mechanic, Matt Stover, earned the Dave Brown Sr. Mechanic of the Year Award.

Hanover’s Troy Wagaman Jr. finished second in the WilliamsGrove season point standings aboard the Heffner No. 27 and Liverpool’s TJ Stutts rode home third behind the wheel of his own No. 11.

Stutts took Most Improved Driver honors at Williams Grove for his 2024 oval performances that encompassed three wins including a triumph over the World of Outlaws in July.

Kody Hartlaub of East Berlin won Rookie of the Year honors aboard John Trone’s No. 39.

York’s Bryn Gohn earned the 2024 Williams Grove Speedway Sportsmanship Award.

Danny Dietrich of Gettysburg won the 2024 Hoosier Diamond Series title at the track while behind the wheel of Gary Kauffman’s No. 48.

Dietrich took three wins in the eight-races completed. It was his second series title in a row.

Californian’s Macedo And Kofoid Sweep Williams Grove Open Races

Carson Gets The Cash In National Open, Kofoid Earns First Win In Prelim

10/5/24

Mechanicsburg –Lemoore, California’s Carson Macedo held off a hard charging Sheldon Haudenschild to win the 62nd Annual Weis Markets National Open Presented By Sage Fruit at Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday night, pocketing $75,000 for the prestigious World of Outlaws victory.

And it proved to be an all California day at the oval for the National Open races as Buddy Kofoid of Penngrove, California, scored the 37th running of the preliminary event earlier in the day after being postponed from Friday due to fog.

Anthony Macri and Macedo took the green flag in the 40-lap National Open for sprint cars from the front row but before a lap could be completed, six-time Open champion Donny Schatz stopped with left front shock damage.

Schatz’s team would make repairs in the work area but he would only get as high as 12th at the finish.

Macri held sway over Macedo and Chase Dietz when action got going and Macedo immediately began taking swipes for the lead.

However Macri seemed up to the challenge as long as he kept his No. 39M on the high side and he even overcame a pass by Macedo for control on the fourth tour before opening up some distance.

But on lap eight when Macri forsake his high line for the bottom in turns one and tow, Macedo capitalized with a run down the backstretch to net command before entering traffic with 10 laps away.

The red flag appeared on lap 12 for Chase Dietz who would end up making hard contact with the outside turn three rail.

Dietz was running fourth when Haudenschild made a bid for the spot only to nearly spin the car which sent Dietz for a ride after he climbed the rear of Haudenschild’s No. 17.

Macri took a look on the low side when action resumed but Macedo would jet away on the cushion.

The field was stopped at the halfway point for refueling.

Haudenschild had taken second from Macri on the 14th tour and lined up behind Macedo for the new green.

James McFadden stole second away from Haudenschild when action resumed and took a swipe at Macedo on lap 22 to no avail.

With 10 laps to go Macedo had a 1.354 second advantage over the field.

But a surging Haudenschild would make it interesting during the final five laps after reclaiming second with six laps to go.

As traffic entered the picture, Haudenschild began biting into Macedo’s lead and as the white flag unfurled the challenger was poised to make a run to the checkers.

Haudenschild chewed four-tenths of a second off of Macedo’s advantage during the last three laps and after a run down the backchute on the final circuit, Haudenschild blasted his machine onto Macedo’s tail as the pair raced back to the line, falling short by just .164 seconds at the finish.

The win was the second of Macedo’s career in the National Open having also taken the win for Jason Johnson Racing in 2021.

Brad Sweet, who started 12th in the field, rode home third, followed by McFadden and Macri.

Sixth through 10th went to David Gravel, defending event champion Brent Marks, Justin Peck, 27th starter Bill Balog and Logan Schuchart.

Heats for the 56 car field went to Gravel, Brian Brown, Macedo and Haudenschild.

Kyle Moody won the C Main and Daryn Pittman won the B Main.

Cale Thomas claimed the non-qualifiers race.

Macri earned the feature pole by winning the dash.

Gravel set quick time with a lap of 16.442 seconds.

Heat race action saw leader Daryn Pittman, in a quest for his first Open title after six runner-up finishes to his credit, turn over in the fourth corner after clipping an infield tire.

And earlier preliminary winner Buddy Kofoid saw his hopes dashed after a flip in his qualifier as well.

The 25-lap preliminary feature as won by Kofoid saw the Californian pull off a daring opening lap, first turn move to go three-wide with Gio Scelzi and Chase Dietz for control.

Scelzi would lead the first six laps before Kofoid blasted underneath for control as traffic loomed just ahead.

Dietz followed Kofoid around Scelzi on the same lap before Scelzi went for a wild ride outside of turn four with 11 laps to go.

Both he and Brent Marks were vying for third when a failed move by Marks sent Scelzi up and out over the rail before his car came to rest against the gate to the outside fourth turn access road, near the parking lot.

Another red flag appeared three laps later when TJ Stutts ended up flipping after contact with a challenging Freddie Rahmer.

Kofoid poured on the speed when action restarted, pulling out to a more than five second lead with five laps to go before crossing the line with a margin of 4.042 seconds over Daryn Pittman at the finish.

Dietz settled for third followed by Marks and 15th starter Donny Schatz.

Jacob Allen won the B Main and Dietz earned the pole for the feature by claiming the dash.

Kofoid earned $12,000 for the first Williams Grove victory of his young career.

Freddie Rahmer wrapped up the 2024 track title at Williams Grove Speedway with his runs in both mains.

The title is the fourth of Rahmer’s career at the oval.

Friday National Open Preliminary Postponed By Fog At Williams Grove

Remaining Friday Program To Be Run Saturday Before 62nd Annual National Open

Saturday Afternoon & Evening National Open Doubleheader Is Set

10/4/24

Mechanicsburg – With thick fog blanketing Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night causing visibility issues for the drivers, World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars Series and Williams Grove track officials were forced to postpone the remainder of Friday’s Weis Markets National Open presented by Sage Fruit Preliminary with competitor safety in mind.

Fog began enveloping the speedway prior to the start of heat races, which were won by Daryn Pittman, Kasey Kahne, Brent Marks and David Gravel.

Two non-qualifier mains for the 58-car field were also completed early in the night, taken by Troy Wagaman Jr. and Tyler Courtney.

Austin Bishop won the C Main.

And Brent Marks set overall quick time with a lap of 16.499 seconds.

But by the time the dash cars made it to the speedway following the C Main, the fog had become too dense to proceed any further with the racing program and the decision was made to set up a National Open Doubleheader on Saturday.

Thus the remainder of the event will be completed on Saturday, Oct. 5 prior to the $75,000-to-win/$2,500-to-start National Open finale.

Saturday pit gates will open at 1:00 p.m. followed by general admission gates at 3:00 p.m. with hot laps for the balance of the Friday program slated for 4:00 p.m.

Following the completion of the Friday program all general admission areas will be cleared before being reopened for Saturday night’s 62nd annual Weis Markets National Open presented by Sage Fruit, for which a Saturday ticket will be required.

Reserved and/or general admission tickets for Friday can be used for entry to the remaining portion of Friday’s preliminary event that will be completed on Saturday afternoon.

Friday pit passes can be used for entry to the remainder of Friday’s program but must be swapped for a new band at the pit gate.

Saturday-only ticket holders can purchase general admission or reserved tickets for Friday’s portion of the racing program at the gate if they so desire.

Williams Grove National Open Preliminary History Continues Friday

2024 event to be run October 4

9/30/24

Mechanicsburg - As much as the Weis Markets National Open Presented By Sage Fruite at Williams Grove Speedway deserves its place in sprint car lore as it celebrates its 62nd running on October 5 with a $75,000 payday, the National Open Preliminary race itself also has a place at the history table.

Although not an annual event, the National Open Preliminary race will hold its head high and celebrate its 37th running on October 4.

The preliminary was first run in 1980 with Keith Kauffman taking the win aboard the Weikert Livestock No. 29.

That preliminary win would be the first of two for Weikert in the race with Doug Wolfgang scoring again a few years later in 1985.

Noted author and television commentator of today, driver Brad Doty of Apple Creek, Ohio was lured East back in 1981 and picked up what would be his first of two career Williams Grove wins in the preliminary before suffering career ending injuries in a racing crash a few years later.

The event has only been lost to weather eight times over the years and on 10 occasions the preliminary winner has swept both National Open races, going on to score the coveted big prize in the Open itself.

Sweeps came in 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2011, 2017 and in 2022 at the respective hands of Lynn Paxton, Wolfgang, Stevie Smith, Steve Kinser, Mark Kinser, Lance Dewease, Sammy Swindell, Jason Myers, David Gravel and Lance Dewease.

And that sweep by Paxton in 1982 was surrounded by considerable controversy stemming from the preliminary race.

The Williams Grove record books actually show a tie for the preliminary win between both Paxton and Ohio’s Dave Blaney on September 17.

A young Blaney was leading, headed for his first career Grove win on that night when he ran into mechanical problems as he raced off of the fourth turn toward the checkers.

Veteran Paxton was trailing and gaining fast as Blaney tried to limp home and the scorers documented his No. 10 as crossing the finish line first.

However unrest abounded regarding that decision and a picture of the finish taken at the line produced the next day clearly showed Paxton crossing very close but definitely first.

Thus both drivers were paid for and credited with a victory and Paxton could go on to score the weekend sweep with Grove career wins 38 and 39.

No driver has been able to put up big numbers in the preliminary race over the years unlike within its big brother National Open wherein World of Outlaws driver Donny Schatz is going for an amazing seventh event title in this year’s race.

Rather, in the preliminary no driver holds more than a trio of wins with Kauffman, Steve Kinser, Gravel and Dewease all holding that distinction.

Before the World of Outlaws began sanctioning the preliminary in 1989, the race was contested once as an All Stars Circuit of Champions contest with Maynard Yingst the winner in 1986.

Today and for many years now the National Open Preliminary at Williams Grove is run as a separate and stand-alone show aside from the Open itself.

However for a number of years as an outlaws race, the top four finishers in the preliminary race were automatically locked into the next night’s National Open.

This was standard procedure under World of Outlaws sanctioning rules for two-day shows for many seasons.

In the 2006 running of the event, Washington state driver Jason Solwold made speedway and outlaws history with a preliminary night win.

Up to that point in outlaws history at the track, every sanctioned race ever run had been scored by either a series regular or a clear member of the home team PA Posse.

Solwold’s drive to victory made him the first true independent driver to ever win a Williams Grove outlaws feature main.

Another piece of history from the National Open preliminary comes from 2018 when the “Fresno Phenom,” Giovanni Scelzi crossed the country for an upset win on September 28.

Scelzi’s victory etched his name in the record books as the youngest driver ever to win a sprint car race at the historic venue at the ripe old age of 16.

In 2021, NASCAR star Kyle Larson stopped at Williams Grove and copped the preliminary before going on to claim the season title on NASCAR’s top circuit.

The 2022 version of the race, won by Dewease, ended up being the shortest in history at 10 laps after the race was called official by outlaws gurus thanks to persistent, intermittent light rain.

In 2023 the preliminary main was postponed by drizzle that hit as the feature was circling the track during parade laps. This set up double Open features a night later as the make-up was completed following the National Open itself with Brad Sweet scoring his second outlaws win of the year at Williams Grove in the preliminary.

The 37th running of the 25-lap National Open Preliminary gets underway at 7:30 on October 4.

The winner will receive $12,000.

Admission prices for Friday’s program are $40 for adults and $20 for youth.

Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.
.
Fireworks will be part of the program.

62nd Annual Williams Grove Weis Markets National Open Presented By Sage Fruit Is This Week

Saturday Champion Nets $75,000

9/29/24

Mechanicsburg – Williams Grove Speedway will celebrate the 62nd running of the annual Weis Markets National Open Presented By Sage Fruit for World of Outlaws sprint cars coming up this Friday and Saturday, October 4 and 5 at 7:30 pm each night

The National Open weekend will wrap up the 2024 racing season at Williams Grove Speedway with Saturday night’s 40-lap main event paying $75,000 to win.

Friday’s 25-lap National Open Preliminary will pay $12,000 to the winner.

Saturday’s event will culminate with the crowning of the 2024 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car track champion.

The prestigious Williams Grove Speedway Weis Markets National Open Presented By Sage Fruit has long been revered as the biggest sprint car show in the East and is one of the big three across the nation, measuring up only with the Knoxville Nationals and Kings Royal.

Anyone who is anyone in sprint car racing in the United States will be at Williams Grove this week for the two-day contest.

Drivers from across all sanctions and regions will compete to be National Open Champion.

The Williams Grove contingent will be led by Anthony Macri of Dillsburg, the winningest drivers this season at the oval with four triumphs to his credit and 15 overall on the year.

The 2016 Open champion, Danny Dietrich should also be in the mix along with Freddie Rahmer and Troy Wagaman Jr.

Top gun with the outlaws will be series point leader David Gravel, who scored the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove back in July and who also has two National Open titles under his belt.

One-time Open winner Carson Macedo, currently second in outlaws points, will also be on top of his game for the Open, having taken six of the last 13 outlaws series shows contested.

Buddy Kofoid on the other hand, now fourth in outlaws points, has taken four of the last seven shows and he too could be a factor in a quest for his first-ever Open title.

Other invaders that could make their mark during the weekend if they opt to compete include Brad Sweet, Rico Abreu, Tyler Courtney and Brent Marks.

Last year, Brent Marks scored the second Open title of his career in the Saturday finale, worth $75,000 but only after losing the early lead to both Justin Peck and Daryn Pittman before reclaiming the point to run to the win.

Brad Sweet won the opening night feature that was held over to Saturday night due to drizzle.

Adult general admission for October 4 is set at $40 with youth ages 13 - 20 priced at $20. Adult admission for October 5 is $50 with youth priced at $20.

Justin Whittall Tops Williams Grove Sprints, Cole Young Gets First 358 Win

9/20/24

Mechanicsburg – Justin Whittall muscled the lead away from TJ Stutts to win Friday’s Kevin Gobrecht Classic Qualifier for 410 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.

The second win of his career at the oval, the victory was worth $6,000 for the Garden State driver.

In the 358 sprint main, Spring Grove’s Cole Young took his first career win in the division, leading all 20 laps.

Stutts started on the pole of the 25-lap 410 sprint feature and led over third starter Whittall from the beginning.

On clear track, Whittall kept Stutts in sight but once the leaders began lapping cars, Whittall was able to close the gap and by lap 13 he was letting Stutts know he was in contention.

Whittall chased Stutts down the backchute on lap 15 before plastering him deep in the third corner to get the lead but Stutts fought back as the pair completed the circuit and raced to his outside into the first turn.

The pair raced side by side out of the second turn and down the backchute before Stutts crossed over to surge back into control in the third corner but just as he was making his move the No. 18J of JT Ferry got backwards in the middle of the corners on the high side and turned over.

Both drivers narrowly escaped contact with Ferry’s mount and the red placed Whittall back at the helm.

And it was a spot he would not relinquish as he pulled away nicely when green reappeared and indeed began stretching out a lead of over a straightaway.

His final margin of victory was 3.657 seconds over Stutts.

Kyle Reinhardt rode home third followed by Freddie Rahmer and PA Dyno Hard Charger Danny Dietrich.

Sixth through 10th went to Troy Wagaman Jr., Dylan Norris, Lucas Wolfe, Kody Hartlaub and Devon Borden.

Heats went to Wagaman, Lance Dewease and Wolfe.

Stutts set fast time with a lap of 16.758 seconds.

With the win, Whittall is now a guaranteed starter in Saturday’s Kevin Gobrecht Classic at Baps Motor Speedway.

Second generation driver Cole Young would lead all 20 laps of the 358 sprint main from the pole but he was chased by both Preston Lattomus and Dylan Norris for the win.

The race was marred by a nasty crash on the second lap involving Chad Criswell, Nat Tuckey and Cole Knopp that saw Criswell snap-roll violently.

There were no injuries.

Norris started fifth in the field and drove by Chris Frank for second on the third lap before chasing down the leader to be racing in his shadow.

However he couldn’t quite gain the upper hand on Young and was soon instead racing to stay ahead of sixth starter Lattomus who took second away with eight laps to go.

A final caution flag with five laps to go bunched the field and the restart saw Young pull out to a comfortable lead while Norris went to work reclaiming second.

Young took the win by 1.304 seconds over Norris, Lattomus, Frank and 21st starter Logan Rumsey.

Sixth through 10th went to Doug Hammaker, Derek Locke, Matt Findley, Andy Best and Cody Fletcher.

Heats went to Young, Frank and Wyatt Hinkle with Tuckey taking the consolation race.

Young is the son of former sprint car driver Niki Young who himself owns a pair of 410 sprint car wins at Williams Grove Speedway.

Dietrich Wires For Williams Grove Kimmel Win, Norris Comes From 13th To Win Dirty Deeds 25

9/13/24

Mechanicsburg – Danny Dietrich wired the field to win the Billy Kimmel Memorial for Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.

Dietrich’s third win of the season at the track was worth $6,000 and it extended his point lead in the 2024 Hoosier Diamond Series at the oval.

In the Dirty Deeds 25 for the HJ Towing & Recovery 358 sprints, Hanover’s Dylan Norris took the win after getting by Justin Foster mid-race for the $3,000 paycheck.

Dietrich and defending Kimmel winner Troy Wagaman Jr. started on the front row of the 25-lap Kimmel Memorial and Dietrich jetted into command at the start of what would be a non-stop event.

The Gettysburg pilot entered the rear of the field, chased by Wagaman, on lap eight and at first was able to handle the traffic but for several laps during the mid-stages he struggled with a pair of cars racing for position.

However Wagaman too was struggling with his own lapped car, which kept Dietrich’s lead secure.

After finally able to work through the traffic, Dietrich stretched out his lead to 2.288 seconds by the finish.

The victory was the 32nd overall of Dietrich’s career at Williams Grove, tying him with Steve Smith Sr. on the all-time win list at the oval.

Wagaman was second followed by Chase Dietz, TJ Stutts and Tyler Ross.

Sixth through 10th went to Freddie Rahmer, Cameron Smith, Justin Whittall, Lucas Wolfe and Aaron Bollinger.

Heats went to Wagaman, Dietrich and Smith with Jordan Givler taking the consolation race.

Chase Dietz set quick time with a lap of 16.897 seconds.

Devin Borden was the PA Dyno Hard Charger.

Polesitter Chad Criswell took the lead at the start of the Dirty Deeds 25 for the 358 sprints but was slowed on just the second tour when the first caution flag of the race appeared.

Third starter Justin Foster moved into second on the fifth lap just before another yellow flag bunched the field.

Foster chased Criswell for the next few laps before driving to his outside on the seventh tour to net control.

Meanwhile, after starting 13th in the field, Dylan Norris was moving to the front and got into second with 12 laps to go.

And then a final caution flag with 10 laps to go closed the gaps and gave Norris his shot at the lead.

When green replaced the yellow, Norris blasted his No. 6 underneath Foster in the first corner to power into control and drive away to his second win of the year at the track in the division.

He took the win by 3.228 seconds over Criswell.

Doug Hammaker was third with 19th starter Derek Locke finishing fourth.

Foster faded to finish fifth.

Sixth through 10th went to Kyle Spence, Chris Frank, Andy Best, Preston Lattomus and Scott Fisher.

Heats were won by Criswell, Steve Downs and Foster with Locke claiming the last chance race.

Locke was the Dirty Deeds and PA Dyno Hard Charger.

Seth Schnoke was the Dirty Deeds Hard Luck driver.

Abreu Scores First Career Port Royal Speedway Win in Tuscarora 50 Finale

Article Credit: Brad Strawser

Port Royal, PA -- September 7, 2024 -- Over the past 5 years, it seemed that a win at Port Royal Speedway, especially during the famed Tuscarora 50, would never come Rico Abreu's way, but on Saturday night, Abreu was able to take that burden off his shoulders with a win worth $58,500.

The opening lap of the race saw Lance Dewease and TJ Stutts side by side on the front row with Dewease leading the way before Corey Day would end up upside-down between turns 3 and 4.

Day would get into the wall in turn 3 and would go flipping through the air, ripping the wing off the top of the car, and piercing the fuel cell leaving fuel down across the track.

A complete restart would follow with Stutts and Dewease again on the front row and the Shearer number 12 would lead the opening lap with Abreu in the 2nd spot and Freddie Rahmer rounding out the top 3.

Over the next 13 laps, Abreu would follow Dewease closely around the Speed Palace, just biding his time before deciding to make a pass, while Stutts would get around Rahmer to get back into the podium.

With 36 laps remaining in the race, Abreu would work around the outside of Dewease in turns 3 and 4 to take the race lead and would continue to lead until the scheduled break at the halfway point of the race with 25 laps remaining.

Crews would go to work on the race cars, and the general consensus amongst the teams was that tire wear would be the name of the game to win the famed Port Royal Speedway race.

It proved to be just that over the next 25 laps as Abreu would lead the entire 2nd half of the event, managing his tires well, and picking up his first win at Port Royal Speedway during the historic Tuscarora 50.

The race paid $58,500 to Abreu as he was the Durst Dice Roll driver of the night after the fan of the night rolled a 3 in victory lane before the A-main event.

"I knew it was a little aggressive on tires," explained Aberu in victory lane describing the race. "I was just really trying to be disciplined with lapped traffic and my foot on the throttle pedal and just not overdriving the entry of the corners and letting that tire slip at all."

Stutts and Macri would round out the top 3 in the A-main event.

Dominick Melair would lead all 15 laps as a part of the Non-qualifiers race and locked himself into the 2025 58th Annual Tuscarora 50.

The 2024 season has come to a close with the conclusion of the Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal Speedway. The speedway team thanks all the fans for their continued support throughout the 2024 season, and look forward to putting on a great season in 2025.

Reutzel Picks Up First National Series Win Since 2021, Lee Wins Renninger Memorial, Mike Wagner and Dylan Yoder Win Championships

Article Credit: Brad Strawser

Port Royal, PA -- July 30th, 2021 was the last time that Aaron Reutzel was able to pick up a win against a national touring series, and he was able to put that drought to an end on Friday night's Night Before the 50 at Port Royal Speedway against Kubota High Limit Racing.

2023's winner of the Tuscarora 50 Brian Brown and 2022's winner Anthony Macri would make up the front row for the 25-lap A-main event.

Brown would take the early lead over the first 2 laps, but Reutzel would get by him off of turn 2 and would begin to run away with the lead.

With 11 laps remaining, Logan Wagner was charging through the field and was up into 3rd from his original 6th starting spot. While running the topside of turns 1 and 2, Wagner jumped the cushion and rode on two wheels against the outside wheel. When the 69K returned all four tires to the track, the front end was broken on the 5-time track champions ride and would end his night.

The restart would see Macri go to battle with Justin Whittall for the runner-up while Reutzel would again begin to open up his lead.

2 laps after the restart, Macri would face the same fate as Logan Wagner, except he would go flipping down the back straightaway ending his night.

Reutzel would restart with the lead and 9 laps remaining and would hold on for his first Kubota High Limit Racing win.

"It's been a while since I've won on a big stage," said Reutzel in victory lane. "This place is so much fun. There's no other place like it in the country. I love this place."

Reutzel has locked himself in to Saturday's A-main event that pays $2,000 to start and $57,000 to win.

Justin Whittall and Chase Dietz would round out the top 3.

With Logan Wagner not being able to finish the A-main, Mike Wagner would claim the 2024 track championship making it the 3rd in his career.

In Selinsgrove Ford super late model competition, the Butch Renninger Memorial would take the stage with the winner's share increasing to $8,333 to win courtesy of Fleet Reps.

Kyle Lee would start on the pole and lead all 33 laps on the way to victory lane.

He would face a late challenge as Mason Ziegler, who started in 6th would look to run him down in lapped traffic, but Lee was able to navigate around the slower cars to give himself enough of a gap to pick up his first Renninger Memorial of his career and his 3rd career win at Port Royal Speedway.

Ziegler would finish in 2nd and Hayes Mattern would round out the podium.

Dylan Yoder and Rick Eckert would go into the A-main only separated by 25 points in the points championship.

Just 8 laps in to the 33 lap feature event, the 0 of Rick Eckert would break down on the back straightaway and would be unable to finish the event which would allow Dylan Yoder to claim his 3rd track championship in just 6 years.

Port Royal Speedway and Kubota High Limit Racing will be back in competition on Saturday for the 57th Annual Tuscarora 50 presented by Packer's Concessions and Ramsey's Car Wash.

Brad Sweet Puts Money Where His Mouth Is, Wins Night 1 of Tuscarora 50 Week; Drew Young Picks up Career 2nd Port Royal 305 Win

Article Credit: Brad Strawser

Port Royal, PA -- September 5, 2024 -- Leading into the night, social media was a stir as a quote from Brad Sweet circulated. "It's really fun to go into Pennsylvania...take their money and talk a little smack," said Sweet in an interview with FloRacing. He backed up that statement on Thursday night by picking up the win and securing himself a starting spot in Saturday's 57th Annual Tuscarora 50.

Sweet rolled off the A-main in the 5th starting spot while Anthony Macri and Rico Abreu would be the pair on the front row.

Aberu and Macri would trade sliders over the opening 2 laps, but Macri would bang the boards a bit too hard off of turn 2 giving Aberu a bit of a gap to lead the next handful of laps.

Macri would battle with Sweet with 16 laps remaining for the runner-up position, but Sweet would pull off the pass in turn 1, take the slider line away in turn 3, and set his sights on Rico Abreu for the lead.

Rico would continue to lead into the waning laps of the race and in lapped traffic, "The Big Cat" of Brad Sweet would begin to close the gap and look to make his move.

With 8 laps remaining, Sweet would slide in front of Aberu for the lead and attempt to run away and hide in the slower traffic.

With 2 laps to go and slower traffic in front of Sweet, Aberu was able to close the gap to just under 5-tenths of a second, but wasn't able to fully reel him in, and Brad Sweet would claim his first victory at Port Royal Speedway since 2015 and his first win with Kubota High Limit Racing since May 16th.

The win was also worth an extra $5,000 with it being split with the Durst Dice Roll fan of the night Brock Fisher from Huntingdon, PA. Brad Sweet was selected as the Durst Dice Roll driver before the A-main when Fisher rolled the dice in victory lane to show a 5, meaning that Brad Sweet coming from the 5th starting spot would give $5,000 to be split between the driver and the fan.

Rico Abreu and Anthony Macri would round out the podium on the night.

In Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint car competition, Drew Young would utilize a late race restart to get by Ken Duke Jr. and pick up his 2nd career win at Port Royal Speedway.

Ken Duke Jr. would lead the opening lap of the 20-lap A-main event. He would have comfortable leads throughout the feature event, having a lead as large as 3-plus seconds during green flag racing.

A restart with 6 laps remaining would put Young on the tail tank of Duke Jr. and Young did not let the leader out of his sights.

Young would follow Duke for the first two laps coming out of the caution and would look to make his move with 5 laps remaining on the bottom side of turn 1.

He would slide in front of Duke Jr. and the two would battle side-by-side until there were just 2 laps remaining. When the crossed flags were shown by the flagman, Drew Young began to grow his lead and would hold on to win the final 305 sprint car race of the 2024 season at Port Royal Speedway.

Ken Duke Jr. and Logan Spahr would round out the top 3.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action on Friday night for The Night Before the 50 with Kubota High Limit Racing and the Selinsgrove Ford super late models as they race their portion of the Butch Renninger Memorial race paying $8,333 to win as the whole night is presented by Fleet Reps.

Logan Wagner Claims 5th win in 2024

Port Royal, PA - Labor Day racing can always prove tricky on a daylight surface, but Logan Wagner was able to find his way around the Speed Palace for 25 laps to claim his 5th victory of the year and his first Labor Day Classic title.

The town of Port Royal was challenged through the week with over 7 inches of rainfall over a short 4 hour period on Thursday night that caused flash flooding throughout the county. Many local families were affected and the track itself was no exception. Flooding throughout the grounds, and onto the track as well as humid temperatures the following day made it difficult for the Port Royal Speedway team to get the track in top shape.

Once the Weikert Livestock 410 sprint cars finally rolled onto the track Monday afternoon, the teams were faced with a tricky surface that they weren't often accustomed to.

Logan Wagner and Danny Dietrich would make up the front row of the 25 lap A-main event with Wagner taking the early advantage.

Dietrich would trail Wagner for the opening 10 laps, with Dietrich closing the gap in lap traffic. With 15 laps remaining however, Dietrich would succumb to a flat right rear tire brining out the caution flag and cutting the tension in the battle for the lead.

Wagner, in clean air, would wire the field the rest of the way to pick up his 5th win at Port Royal in 2024 and pocketed $7,300 courtesy of Foss Jewelers of Lewistown.

In Zimmerman Truck Repair Limited Late Model competition, Trent Brenneman was able to lead from flag to flag to claim his first Butch Renninger Memorial title as well as his first Port Royal Speedway track championship.

"I don't know what the future holds as life seems to get busier outside of racing," said Brenneman in victory lane, "I don't even have the words to describe it."

Justin Williamson would pick up the win in the FWD 4-cylinders A-main.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action for 3 days as a part of the Tuscarora 50 weekend with Kubota High Limit Racing on Thursday September 5th which will also feature Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint cars.

Saturday, September 21 PA KARTING NATIONALS

Abbottstown, PA (September 1, 2024) – In an action packed night of racing at Lincoln Speedway, Anthony Macri emerged victorious in the $20,000-to-win Kevin Gobrecht Memorial / Labor Day Duel, navigating intense competition and lapped traffic to take the checkered flag. It was Macri’s fifth win of the season at Lincoln and his second in a row.

Troy Wagaman led the field into turn 1, while Chase Dietz and Kyle Moody battled side-by-side for third, with Dietz quickly moving into the position and then overtaking TJ Stutts for second. Meanwhile, Macri began working on Moody for fourth. An early caution on lap 2 for a spin by Jonathan Preston set up the first restart with Wagaman, Dietz, Stutts, Moody, and Macri in the top five.

Wagaman got a strong jump on the restart, creating some distance between himself and Dietz, while Macri moved past Moody for fourth. Danny Dietrich soon joined the fight, taking fifth on lap 4. Macri, relentless in his pursuit, began challenging Stutts for third as Wagaman and Dietz continued to run the high side, as they closed in on lapped traffic.

On lap 9, lapped traffic came into play as Dietz started closing in on Wagaman. Macri climbed to third, with Stutts holding onto fourth as Dietrich applied pressure. Devon Borden joined the fray, creating a fierce three-car battle for the position. On lap 14, Dietrich pulled a slider to take fourth from Stutts, with Borden following suit a lap later.

As the halfway point approached, Macri closed in on the leaders, making it a three-car battle for the top spot in heavy traffic. On lap 17, Dietz attempted a slider in turns 1 and 2 but Wagaman managed to hold his lead. The action intensified when Dietz completed a second slider on the backstretch to take over the lead, with Macri following closely behind, dropping Wagaman to third.

At the halfway point, with 20 laps to go, all three, Dietz, Macri and Wagaman, remained in contention, with Dietrich and Borden closing in as well. Borden moved past Dietrich for fourth, but the two swapped positions back and forth in a thrilling duel. Macri, working the bottom, steadily reeled in Dietz as they navigated through traffic.

A caution on lap 29 for Freddie Rahmer’s spin in turn 4—which also collected Jordan Givler and Stutts—reset the field, with Macri having just edged past Dietz at the line before the yellow came out. On the restart, Macri led Dietz, Wagaman, Dietrich, and Borden. Dietz tried to make a move low on the restart, but Macri held his ground on the top side.

The fierce battle for fourth between Dietrich and Borden continued, with Borden finally securing the spot. Dietz, meanwhile, worked the bottom in an attempt to close in on Macri, getting a good run in turns 1 and 2, but Macri's high-side momentum proved too strong. With five laps to go, Borden overtook Wagaman for third at the line.

Lapped traffic loomed ahead of Macri with three laps remaining, but he maintained his composure, to secure a $20,000 payday. Dietz finished second, Borden crossed the line third, Wagaman was fourth and Dietrich completed the top five.

A heavy rain shower popped up on the radar forcing the postponement of the 358 sprint car feature to Saturday, September 14.

Lincoln Speedway is back in action on Saturday, September 7 with Superior Homes Night featuring the Late Models, Legends, Superior Homes Extreme Stocks and Flying Iron Limited Stocks. Racing is scheduled for 6PM.

Article Credit: Brad Strawser

August 30, 2024 -- Port Royal, PA -- The Port Royal Speedway team has made the unfortunate decision to cancel racing activities on Saturday August 31st due to heavy rain received in the borough and the damage that took place throughout the fairground.

The borough of Port Royal received over 8 inches of rain in a 4 hour period on Thursday evening, flooding many areas throughout the fairgrounds. Concessions stands, seating area, the tunnel to the infield, and other buildings throughout the grounds took on water and had the focus of the fair board throughout the day on Friday. The speedway team evaluated the racing surface and determined there would be no way the track could be properly prepared for racing on Saturday.

The scheduled Butch Renninger Memorial for the Selinsgrove Ford Super Late Models will run their portion of the event on Friday September 6th alongside Kubota High Limit Racing on The Night Before the 50.

The Zimmerman Truck Repair Limited Late Models will make up their portion of the event during Monday’s Labor Day Classic presented by Foss Jewelers Inc.

The Juniata County Agricultural Society, Juniata County Fair Board, and Port Royal Speedway team are hard at work to repair all the areas throughout the grounds to ensure racing activities continue throughout fair week and look to be back in action on Monday September 2nd for the Labor Day Classic.

Eash Brothers Tribute Race In Honor Of David Eash Is Friday At Williams Grove

410 sprints vie for 8K to win, 358s race for $2,500 to win in Dirty Deeds 25

8/25/24

Mechanicsburg – Williams Grove Speedway will celebrate the careers of racing brothers Cris and Darren Eash coming up this Friday night, August 30 at 7:30 pm when the Eash Brothers Tribute Race in honor of David Eash takes place.

The 25-lap special for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars will pay $8,000 to win as part of the 2024 Hoosier Diamond Series.

Also on the program will be the second Dirty Deeds 25 of the season for the 358 sprint cars, paying $2,500 to win out of a total purse worth nearly $12,000.

Brothers Cris and Darren Eash spent the better part of three decades campaigning sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway and throughout the area, both men proving proficient at the wheel of both 410 and 358 sprint cars.

And both drivers began their careers driving for their father David Eash as car owner who went on to support their efforts throughout.

Originally slated to be recognized on August 30 as well, the elder Eash passed away earlier this year and the track will now honor his memory by dedicating the race run in celebration of his son’s careers, to him.

Both Cris and Darren Eash will take part in a special pre-race interview session in the infield on Friday night from 5:45 to 6:30 pm as part of the show.

Other guests who played a role in the Eash’s career will also be on hand.

A restored No. 17E Cris Eash sprint car will be on display.

Time trials will set the starting grids for the 410 sprint cars with the fast timer earning $300 as the Fast Tees Fast Time Award.

Fireworks will also be part of the holiday weekend kickoff racing program.

Adult general admission for the August 30 racing program is set at $25 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $10.

Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

MACRI MAKES LATE-RACE PASS TO SECURE THRILLING $7,300 KRAMER KLASH VICTORY; Preston Lattomus Wired Field in Non-Stop 358 Sprint Feature

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, August 31 (7PM) KEVIN GOBRECHT MEMORIAL PRESENTED BY GOOFY’S EATERY & SPIRITS AND COMMONWEALTH TRAILER SUPPLY for 410 Sprints ($15,000 to win!) [TT] and PASS/IMCA 305 Sprints

Sunday, September (7PM) LABOR DAY DUEL PRESENTED BY SCHMUCK LUMBER COMPANY for 410 Sprints ($15,000 to win!) [TT] and 358 Sprints

Abbottstown, PA (August 24, 2024) –

Aaron Bollinger led the field into turn 1 using the top as the green flag waved, with Freddie Rahmer immediately challenging Anthony Macri for second. Macri made an aggressive move with a slide job for the lead, but chaos ensued when Chad Trout spun in turn 4, collecting Chase Dietz and Danny Dietrich, bringing out the caution on lap 1.

On the restart, Bollinger maintained the lead while Macri applied heavy pressure. Rahmer made his move, diving to the bottom of turn 3, but Macri attempted a slide job in turn 1, neither unable to complete the pass. As Bollinger pulled away, the top three—Bollinger, Macri, and Rahmer—began riding the high side around the 3/8-mile oval, approaching lapped traffic by lap 7. Bollinger dipped to the bottom of turns 1 and 2 as they navigated slower cars.

A yellow flag on lap 9 for a tangle between Kyle Moody and Kody Hartlaub reset the field. On the restart, Rahmer overtook Macri for second, while Matt Campbell reclaimed fourth from Kyle Reinhardt. A mishap saw Rahmer hit the wall on the backstretch, allowing Macri to slip back into second. As lapped traffic again became a factor for the leaders on lap 15, Bollinger squeezed between two lapped cars with Macri hot on his heels.

Campbell closed in on Rahmer for third, while Rahmer, Macri, and Bollinger battled in close quarters. Rahmer moved into second, taking a shot at the lead as Bollinger held his line, getting strong drives off the bottom of turn 2 while Rahmer attacked from the top. With five laps to go, lapped cars running side by side added to the intensity.

A final caution on lap 30 for Robbie Kendall’s spin in turn 4 set up a dramatic five-lap dash to the finish. Bollinger went to the bottom on the restart, with Rahmer to the outside, but Macri seized the moment, flying past Rahmer for second. He then launched a daring slide job on Bollinger in turn 1, bringing them side by side at the line—Bollinger barely holding the lead.

With just two laps to go, Macri made the decisive pass, surging ahead and securing a thrilling victory, adding another $7,300 to his growing collection of winnings. In addition to the winners share, Macri took home an extra $1,000 after securing the Dean’s Auto Plaza “Run the Table” bonus by setting quick time, winning his heat and scoring the feature win.

Preston Lattomus Wired Field in Non-Stop 358 Sprint Feature

Preston Lattomus led the field out of turn 2, with Wyatt Hinkle quickly moving into second and Logan Rumsey slotting into third. Rumsey and Hinkle battled side by side at the line, with Rumsey edging ahead to claim second. Behind them, Cody Fletcher held down fourth, while Ayden Hare rounded out the top five.

Lattomus wasted no time pulling away from the pack, building a commanding 3.3-second lead by the time he reached lapped traffic on lap 8. As Lattomus expertly navigated the slower cars, Dylan Norris began challenging Hare for a spot in the top five.

Despite Rumsey's efforts to close the gap, bringing the lead down to under two seconds with five laps remaining, Lattomus found clear track ahead with just two laps to go. He extended his lead once more to nearly three seconds, cruising to his first career 358 Sprint Car victory at Lincoln Speedway.

Lincoln Speedway is back in action on Saturday, August 31 with the $15,000 to win Kevin Gobrecht Memorial for the 410 Sprints along with the PASS/IMCA 305 Sprints. Then on Sunday, September 1 it is the $15,000 to win Labor Day Dual for the 410 Sprints with the 358 Sprint on the card as well.

Macri Scores Grove Gunn Memorial Cash For Fourth Win Of Season

Mitten and Jackson split sportsman mains

8/23/24

Mechanicsburg – Anthony Macri of Dillsburg scored his fourth Williams Grove Speedway sprint car win of the season on Friday night in the 42nd annual Jack Gunn Memorial, worth $8,000.

Macri took the lead from TJ Stutts on a lap 16 restart to get the win.

In the 20-lap winged super sportsman main it was Russ Mitten scoring the checkers while the wingless sportsman feature went to Tony Jackson.

Stutts started on the pole of the 30-lap Gunn Memorial and was trailed by Chase Dietz and Macri from the start.

Stutts had a lead of more than one second when the first caution flag of the race unfurled on the fourth lap.

Lap five saw the red flag appear for a hard frontstretch flip by Devon Borden who escaped injury.

Macri muscled around Dietz for second on the restart but was still over a second behind Stutts when the leader entered traffic on the 13th tour.

Traffic allowed Macri to close in on Stutts by lap 15 and make his first bid for the lead and win.

He got under Stutts and briefly took control in the third and fourth turns but Stutts turned the car off of the cushion to reclaim command at the line.

The pace was slowed again on lap 16 for a slowing Kyle Moody.

Macri promptly pounced when green replaced the yellow by diving to Suttts’ inside in the first corner to blast up off of the corners with the point.

And from there the field was left to race for second as Macri pulled away.

A final caution flag with four laps to go negated a near five second lead built by Macri who went uncontested on the restart and took the victory by 1.756 seconds.

It was the 10th overall win of his career at the oval.

Dietz followed Macri around Stutts to finish second as the early leader began to slip backward.

Freddie Rahmer was third followed by Cameron Smith and 14th starter Danny Dietrich who was the hard charger.

Sixth through 10th went to Stutts, Troy Wagaman Jr., Justin Whittall, Kyle Reinhardt and Kody Hartlaub.

Heats went to Rahmer, Stutts and Hartlaub with Lucas Wolfe taking the consolation race.

Wagaman set fast time in time trials with a lap of 16.806 seconds.

Mike Enders led the first five laps of the winged sportsman main before third starter Russ Mitten took the lead to drive off to the win.

Mitten withstood two restarts during the second half of the race to get the checkers by .992 seconds ahead of Enders, Kenny Edkin, Scott Dellinger and Matt Ondek.

Heats were taken by Troy Rhome, Chris Meleason and Mitten.

Tony Jackson wired the field for the win in the wingless 20-lap sportsman main.

Jay Fannasy came to second on lap five and began pressuring Jackson for the lead.

He got in front of Jackson briefly with eight laps to go only to see Jackson surge back into control.

Fannasy then lost the handle on his challenging racer and spun a lap later, taking the edge off of the final circuits.

Bill Brian Jr. finished second followed by Trent Yoder, Brian Nace and Craig Perigo.

Jackson set quick time in hot laps with a loop of 21.821 seconds.

Gunn’s Promotional Prowess Remembered At Williams Grove Friday


8/18/24

Mechanicsburg – For the 42nd season in a row, Williams Grove Speedway will honor one of the finest showman and promoters the East has ever known on Friday night when the York Building Products Jack Gunn Memorial for 410 sprint cars is contested.

First run in 1983, the Gunn Memorial honors late Williams Grove promoter Jack Gunn, a native of Hancock, Maryland.

The 2024 event will be the 42nd annual Gunn Memorial and the winner’s list is impressive to say the least.

Bobby Allen was the first winner in 1983 with additional names on the win list like Frankie Kerr, Jason Johnson, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer, Daryn Pittman, Keith Kauffman and many others.

However no driver has claimed more Gunn Memorials over the years than the now retired Don Kreitz Jr.

Jack Gunn was a Hall of Fame Promoter who heralded the speedway as promoter from 1967 until his untimely death from cancer at the age of 48 in 1980.

He began working at the track during the early 1960s as an announcer and honed his skill on the microphone while eventually relaying his talents into the oval’s captain.

It was during his tenure at the helm of Williams Grove Speedway that Gunn rose to prominence on the local and national scene and he took the facility with him.

During his career at Williams Grove, Gunn also promoted with much success at other area tracks.

Gunn’s mark on both Williams Grove and the region itself was to help raise sprint car racing to not only a weekly division but a premiere weekly headline division at that.

With his hand guiding them, Gunn first lured and then brought the likes of Jan Opperman, Bobby Allen, Steve Smith and more to the area to race, make a living and ultimately to make a home in this rich racing region.

Gunn was feted nationally as 1979 Promoter of the Year.

While at the top of his game, he not only stood at the helm at both Williams Grove and Selinsgrove Speedways, but he was also doing the job at Hagerstown, (Maryland) and Penn National Speedways.

In his day, Jack Gunn was known as the most powerful promoter in the East.

And it is that reputation and skill that Williams Grove Speedway will honor yet again this week with the running of the Jack Gunn Memorial.

Gates will open at 5:30 pm with action getting underway at 7:30 pm.

Adult general admission is set at $25 with youth ages 13 - 20 admitted for just $10. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, August 24 (7PM) KRAMER KLASH PRESENTED BY HVAC DISTRIBUTORS INC. for 410 Sprints ($7,3000 to win!) [TT] and 358 Sprints

Sunday, September (7PM) LABOR DAY DUEL PRESENTED BY SCHMUCK LUMBER COMPANY for 410 Sprints ($15,000 to win!) [TT] and 358 Sprints

Abbottstown, PA (August 17, 2024) – Matt Campbell gave it everything he had on Saturday night to win the Barry Skelly Memorial. Campbell, who started the 30-lap feature in sixth, raced his way up to second with 10 laps to go, leaving him 10 laps to erase Chris Arnold’s 4.6-second lead. With five laps to go, as Campbell was reeling Arnold in, smoke started billowing from the #X machine, but Matt didn’t let it slow him down. With three laps to go Campbell was all over Arnold, but would have to wait until the last corner of the last lap to make the pass for the lead. The $6,000 win was Campbell’s second at the track this season as he is in the hunt for the points title with Troy Wagaman and Freddie Rahmer.

Chris Arnold and Tim Glatfelter shared the front row for the drop of the green and current point leader, Troy Wagaman started dead last. Arnold and Glatfelter drag-raced into turn 1 as a massive crash developed behind them. JJ Loss flipped down the front stretch and his wing got stuck in the fence with the car landing on the track. Kyle Keen and Glenndon Forsythe got caught up in the melee as well, ending all three of their nights. Four other cars received damage on the start and headed to the pits under red, Troy Wagaman, Kody Hartlaub, Aaron Bollinger, and Jeff Rohrbaugh. Rohrbaugh was the only one not to rejoin the field for the restart.

The field lined up for a complete restart. This time the yellow came out when Chad Trout sat on the front stretch with a broken front end. After two restarts 14 of the original 19 cars lined up for the third try to get the feature started. The third time proved to be the charm with Arnold holding a slight advantage over Glatfelter as they raced into turn 1. Brandon Rahmer got under Brett Strickler to move into fourth and Campbell wasn’t far behind, getting by Strickler for fifth.

Arnold was pulling away from the field and had a straightway lead as Campbell was closing in on Brandon to challenge for fourth. Arnold had a 4-second lead and was closing in on lapped traffic with 10 laps down. The yellow flag came out on lap 11 when Hartlaub fell off the pace and came to a stop on the front stretch.

With Arnold’s 3.4 second lead erased, Glatfelter, Hivner, Rahmer and Campbell lined up behind him for the restart. Hivner started falling back which allowed Campbell to move up to fourth, Brandon into third and Freddie Rahmer made his way into the top five.

Campbell got by Brandon for third coming off turn 2 to take the spot on lap 17. Campbell looked to make quick work of Glatfelter but it took four laps for Matt to find a way around Glatfelter.

Arnold had an impressive lead of 4.6 seconds with 10 laps to go. The crowd watched Campbell use the last 10 laps to reel in Arnold, half of them with smoke coming from the car. As Campbell made the pass for the lead coming out of turn 4 on the last lap, fans were on their feet to witness the finish.

In the end Campbell crossed the line .207 seconds ahead of Arnold. Freddie Rahmer finished third and Glatfelter was fourth. Brandon Rahmer completed the top five. Despite starting last and having to go to the pits during the initial red flag to change a top wing, Troy Wagaman earned hard charger honors with a seventh place finish.

Andy Best Wires 358 Sprint Field for Win

Andy Best beat pole-sitter Cameron Merriman to the first turn to take the lead at the start of the 20-lap feature and never looked back.

As Best took the top spot with Merriman in tow, Preston Lattomus and Jake Galloway were battling for third. Galloway had the spot when the red flag came out on lap 4 for Ayden Hare.

Best led Merriman, Galloway, Lattomus and Logan Rumsey on the restart. Lattomus got by Galloway to take third and then Rumsey followed sending Jake back to fifth. Steve Owings worked his way into the top five from his twelfth place starting spot after getting by Galloway on lap 8.

Cody Fletcher slowed to a stop in turn 4 bringing out the yellow on lap 9. The top five for the restart were Best, Merriman, Lattomus, Rumsey and Owings. Lattomus was working on Merriman for second when the yellow came out again on lap 11. This time it was for Cole Knopp who sat facing the wrong way in turn 4.

Merriman tried the bottom on the restart which left the top open for Lattomus. Preston gave it everything he had, but hopped the cushion in turn 4 allowing both Owings and Rumsey to get by, sending Lattomus back to fifth.

Best was pulling away from the field with five laps to go when the yellow came out one final time for Josh Harner and Olivia Thayer.

The top five for the final restart were Best, Merriman, Owings, Rumsey and Lattomus. Merriman left the top open for Owings on the restart and Owings took advantage and had second with two laps to go.

Best crossed the line 1.054 seconds ahead of Owings, who earned the hard charger bonus. Merriman finished third and Rumsey was fourth. Lattomus completed the top five.

Dreams Do Come True: Robbie Kendall and Mike Wagner Pick Up Living Legends Dream Race Checks, Bruno Wins First Career USAC East Coast Wingless Race

Port Royal, PA -- August 18, 2024 -- The Living Legends Dream Race at Port Royal Speedway always brings a new storyline into the mix for the year. This year, it saw Mike Wagner break a 3 year winless streak, and Robbie Kendall pick up his first career 410 win at Port Royal Speedway.

Robbie Kendall would start on the front row of the first 25-lap A-main event alongside Anthony Macri with the latter taking the early race lead.

Macri would lead the opening 8 laps with Kendall in a further 2nd place position when the caution lights would come on for debris on the back straightaway. The caution would be called because the hood off of the 39M would blow off of his car and onto the racing surface.

This dilemma caused Macri to go to the pit area due to Port Royal Speedway rules not allowing for a driver to compete without the engine completely covered. This would give Kendall his first lead of the race.

Kendall would lead for a lap before Logan Wagner would overtake him on a restart with 16 laps remaining in the first corner of the race track.

Wagner, who was looking to pick up his 5th win of the season and his 4th in a row at Port Royal, would continue to lead for the next 13 laps. When coming down the front stretch at the 3 lap to go mark, Wagner would begin to lose power as he had run out of fuel.

Wagner would limp around the track until he drew the caution flag with 2 laps remaining which would bring out an open red flag for the field to refuel their sprint cars.

Kendall would inherit the lead once again, now with just 2 laps remaining and Justin Whittall right on his tail.

Whittall would pull alongside Kendall in both sets of corners over the final two laps, but couldn't mount enough speed to make the pass and Kendall would hold on for his first career win at Port Royal Speedway worth $12,500.

"We got a little lucky there with those two cars falling out," said Kendall on the front stretch between A-mains. "This is a place I always wanted to win at. I'm thankful I'm even racing."

During the break between the features, Kendall would draw a 6 pill to set the invert for the 2nd 25-lap A-main meaning Devon Borden and Mike Wagner would make up the front row with Kendall starting in 6th.

Wagner would get out to the lead off of the initial start and while fighting off restart challenges would lead all 25-laps in the 2nd feature event.

With 2 laps to go, he would start to run out of fuel to allow Justin Whittall to begin to close the nearly 2-second gap between the top two cars, but Wagner's machine would hold enough power to get him back to victory lane for the first time in 3 years.

"I'm glad to win. I think we should be winning more often, but we've been getting faster here lately so hopefully it will continue," said Wagner in victory lane following his $12,500 win.

Devon Borden and Logan Wagner would pick up Valley Supply hard charger honors during the two A-mains.

Kody Lehman and Dominic Melair would have the luck of the draw in winning the J&S Classics Warrior award in their respective feature events.

In USAC East Coast wingless sprint car competition, Christian Bruno would start on the front row and lead all 20 laps to claim victory for the first time in his career.

"I've always felt pretty comfortable here," Bruno explained in victory lane, "we had a good race the last time we were here. I felt like our car was just so good tonight."

Port Royal Speedway will be back in competition on August 23rd with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series paying $10,000 to win, the Zimmerman Truck Repair Limited Late Models paying $6,000 to win and a $17,000 total purse, and the Mid-Atlantic Modifieds paying $5,000 to win.

Dietz and Gutshall score sprint wins

8/2/24

Mechanicsburg – Chase Dietz and Chase Gutshall won the sprint car races at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.

Dietz of York scored in the 410 sprint car main while Gutshall of Middletown won the 358 sprint cars.

Dietz would end up wiring the field from the pole for the $5,000 victory in the 25-lap 410 sprint main.

The win was the fourth of his career at the oval.

Dietz had just entered traffic with the lead when the only caution flag of the race appeared on lap eight for a spun Anthony Macri while at the same time Lance Dewease slowed and pulled pitside.

The restart saw Steve Buckwalter and TJ Stutts line up in second and third but fail to challenge.

Dietz entered traffic again with seven laps to go and began moving through the field at will.

Buckwalter failed to close on the leader and instead finished 1.559 seconds behind at the finish.

Stutts was third and Cameron Smith was fourth.

After starting 18th, Danny Dietrich made the race exciting at the finish as he raced with point leader Freddie Rahmer for the fifth spot.

On the final lap as the pair sped out of turn four for the finish, Dietrich nipped Rahmer at the line for the spot.

Rahmer was sixth followed by Troy Wagaman Jr., Justin Whittall, Matt Campbell and Devon Borden.

Heats went to Dietz, Wagaman and Dewease with Matt Campbell scoring the consolation race.

Stutts set quick time in hot laps with a lap of 17.064 seconds.

Like his counterpart, Chase Gutshall would wire the field in the 20-lap 358 sprint car main.

After two tries at an initial start, Gutshall took control over Dwight Leppo.

But Leppo would slow to a stop at the halfway point, handing second to Scott Fisher with Frankie Herr racing third.

No one was able to challenge Gutshall during the second half of the race as he drove uncontested to the win.

Herr got by Fisher for second on lap 13.

Logan Rumsey rode home third followed by Cody Fletcher and Fisher.

Sixth through 10th went to Chris Frank, Cole Young, Doug Hammaker, Derek Locke and Preston Lattomus.

Heats went to Gutshall, Leppo and Cole Knopp.

The win was the first of Gutshall’s career at Williams Grove.

The features were delayed 90 minutes due to rain that hit the track just after all qualifying races had been completed.

Stutts Continues Career Season With Third Williams Grove Sprint Win

Lattomus gets first in 358 sprints

8/2/24

Mechanicsburg – TJ Stutts continued the season of his career at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night by scoring his third sprint car win of the season.

Last week the Liverpool driver bested the World of Outlaws on Friday night and this week Stutts chalked up a last lap pass on race-long leader Jake Karklin to net the win and a $500 bonus from WC Eshenaur and Sons for making the winning move on the final circuit.

In the 358 sprint main, Preston Lattomus held on to win his first-ever checkers at the track after wiring the field.

Karklin and Mike Walter II., started on the front row of the 25-lap Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint main with Stutts beginning in the fifth position.

The initial start of the feature was called back for a false start before Karlin blasted into control over Walter, Kody Hartlaub and Jeff Halligan.

Karklin entered the rear of the field on the sixth tour and began lapping cars on the high side while Walter tried keeping pace.

But disaster struck on lap nine when Walter vaulted into the outside turn one rail before flipping down onto the track, bringing out the red flag.

The stoppage wiped out a 1.3 second lead that Karklin had built over the field.

Halligan was also involved, forcing him to the rear for the restart while placing Hartlaub and Freddie Rahmer in second and third.

Two laps later Karklin saw a 1.5 second lead wiped out by a caution flag before another yellow bunched the field on lap 12.

The restart on lap 12 saw the front of the field shake up dramatically when Hartlaub went for a low move on Karklin in the first corner.

However the East Berlin driver nearly spun the car in the middle of the first corner while almost collecting Rahmer, who had to get hard on the binders.

That’s when Stutts pounced to move from fourth to second by blasting under the faltering pair in turn two.

Karklin just kept expanding his lead as the race worked into the second half, owning a 2.9 second lead with 10 to go and a 3.1 second lead a lap later.

And while the leader did make some mistakes on the cushion as he paced the field, he did maintain his lead until three laps to go.

It was then that Karklin’s car began to sputter as he circled the track, seemingly running out of fuel.

The struggling leader then dropped off of the cushion while working the car down low in an effort to make it to the finish but Stutts took advantage to snare the lead on the final lap and record his fourth career 410 sprint car victory at Williams Grove Speedway, worth $5,000.

Karklin would come up light on weight in post race inspection and be credited with 14th.

Rahmer ended up second followed by Troy Wagaman Jr., Matt Campbell and Cameron Smith.

Sixth through 10th went to Halligan, Ryan Taylor, Austin Bishop, Mike Thompson and Bryn Gohn, who was the PA Dyno Hard Charger.

Heats went to Halligan, Stutts and Wagaman Jr.

Stutts set fast time in warm-ups with a lap of 17.533 seconds.

Lattomus started on the pole of the 25-lap Summer Series main for 358 sprints and would end up leading the whole way for the victory.

Derek Locke raced into second on the sixth tour but failed to challenge Lattomus for control.

The first and only caution flag of the race unfurled on the final lap finding 19th starter Seth Schnoke restarting third after blasting through the field.

Schnoke threatened to spoil the party for Lattomus when he drove by Locke on the restart and got alongside the leader in the final corner but Lattomus was able to hold off the charge and take the exciting win by .202 seconds.

Schnoke settled for second followed by Locke, Dylan Norris and Chase Gutshall.

Sixth through 10th went to Cole Young, Steve Owings, Austin Reed, Frankie Herr and Logan Rumsey.

Heats went to Tyler Rutherford, Cole Young and Cody Fletcher with Schnoke taking the consolation race.

David Gravel Scores 100th Outlaws Win In Williams Grove Summer Nationals

Connecticut pilot scores $20,000 with impressive drive

7/27/24

Mechanicsburg – David Gravel scored his 100th career World of Outlaws sprint car win in the 23rd running of the C & D Rigging Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday night.

Gravel’s ninth oval win and second in the Summer Nationals was worth $20,000.

The victory has placed Gravel among an elite group of just eight outlaws drivers in history that have reached the century win mark with the circuit to include Steve Kinser, Mark Kinser, Donny Schatz, Doug Wolfgang, Sammy Swindell, Danny Lasoski and Joey Saldana.

Gravel’s victory was hard-fought as he contended with both Daryn Pittman and Donny Schatz for the checkers.

In fact, the 30-lap main saw all three men lead the event at one point.

Gravel started fourth in the feature with Schatz and Pittman sharing the front row for the green flag.

Schatz took the lead at the start with Pittman applying pressure while Gravel came to third.

Pittman dogged Schatz for control until lap nine when he briefly pulled the trigger for control with an inside move in the third and fourth corner.

But Pittman’s run in front was short lived as Schatz turned the car to reclaim the top spot as the pair raced back to the stripe.

The move by Pittman allowed Gravel to hone in for the second spot, which he took with an outside blast in the fourth turn on lap 11.

Gravel was surging by that point as the front trio began what was becoming a torrid battle with traffic in play.

It was lap 13 when Gravel pushed his No. 2 low in the second corner to get underneath Schatz and take command for the first time however Schatz came right back on the Connecticut pilot.

He completed a run through the middle groove in turns three and four on lap 14 to again go out front as he, Gravel and Pittman raced under a blanket for the lead and win.

But just then an untimely caution broke up the tension when Sheldon Haudenschild hit the outside wall and spun on the frontstretch before falling back in line.

Schatz chose the inside lane for the double file restart and held Gravel off when action resumed.

However Gravel was not to be denied as he used a head of steam on the cushion in turn four to complete a run down the frontchute and into the first turn that would push him back out front for good on lap 19.

Third starter Brent Marks went outside of Pittman for third with five laps to go and got the spot just before the final caution flag of the race unfurled.

Schatz got to Gravel’s inside on the restart, proving that he still wasn’t out of the event and returned to repeat the feat in the first turn the next time around but after that attempt Gravel got away for the win, taking the checkered flag by .495 seconds.

In victory lane Gravel noted that he felt he beat the three best cars to race at Williams Grove in the last 10 years in the form of Schatz, Marks and the Don Kreitz No. 69K raced by Pittman.

Schatz, Marks, Pittman and Justin Peck completed the top-five finishers.

Sixth through 10th went to Gio Scelzi, Carson Macedo, Lance Dewease, Haudenschild and Danny Dietrich.

Heats went to Marks, Gravel, Macedo and Pittman with Schatz earning the feature pole by winning the dash.

Anthony Macri scored the B Main.

Marks set fast time with a lap of 17.034 seconds.

Feature Finish:

7/26/24

Williams Grove Summer Nationals Celebrates 23rd Running This Weekend

7/21/24

Mechanicsburg – The C & D Rigging Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, coming up this Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27, will celebrate its 23rd running this week.

The first edition of the current Summer Nationals was a three-day event back in 2002 with a pair of preliminary mains taken by Danny Lasoski and Joey Saldana while local driver Greg Hodentt upended the World of Outlaws for the big score on Saturday driving for the Apple Motorsports stables.

At the time, the three-day World of Outlaws show at Williams Grove was billed as the first of its kind since only one other previous three-day stand at the track in history, also billed as a Summer Nationals, took place in August 1984 when Sammy Swindell, Brad Doty and Steve Kinser took wins.

World of Outlaws kingpin Donny Schatz took two of three at the track in 2003 with Don Kreitz Jr. taking a preliminary night.

The 2004 version saw Lance Dewease and Lasoski split a pair of mains.

Another three-day format in 2005 saw Jason Johnson score a popular victory for local owners Jim and Sandy Kline while Paul McMahan scored another prelim with track powerhouse Fred Rahmer taking a raucous victory in the Saturday finale.

In 2006 outlaws invaders Terry McCarl, Craig Dollansky and Dary Pittman swept the three-day affair.

Donny Schatz bookended the three-day event with wins in 2007 while local Brian Leppo of Spring Grove was sandwiched in the middle with a win aboard the Swope No. 71 machine.

Becoming a two-day event in 2008, outlaws Donny Schatz and Daryn Pittman swept the shows but the following year belonged to local drivers Greg Hodnett in the Kline No. 22 and Cody Darrah with Darrah taking the win in a make-up feature held during National Open weekend in October.

The 2010 version was all Pennsylvania Posse as Lance Dewease took night one aboard the Don Owens No. 30C and Hodnett returning for another win for the Kline team.

Hodnett struck again in 2011, this time in the Trone Special No. 39, along with outlaw driver Jason Meyers.

Just one show was completed in 2012 with Darrah back for another win, this time aboard an outlaws mount owned by Kasey Kahne.

Again, one show was completed in 2013 with Schatz again a victor but the pendulum swung the other way again in 2014 when locals Hodnett and Dewease swept the two-day weekend show with Hodnett now driving for Michael Heffner and Dewease aboard the Conduit Connections No. 14.

The locals made it back-to-back sweeps of the event in 2015 when Danny Dietrich and Stevie Smith trounced the outlaws.

Pittman was back for a win in 2016 with Dewease, now aboard the Kreitz No. 69K, taking the Saturday finale.

Local driver Brock Zearfoss piloted the Long No. 58 to the win on night one in 2017 while Greg Hodnett ended up scoring the second feature aboard the Heffner mount albeit as a make up main in late September.

Only the first night was completed in 2018 with Dewease returning for a victory, still in the 69K.

The 2019 Summer Nationals saw Tim Shaffer pilot the Rudzik No. 49 to the opening night win while Schatz got back to Summer Nationals victory for the first time since 2013.

Shane Stewart fended off Anthony Macri to win opening night in 2020 while David Gravel dominated on Saturday to lead flag to flag.

In 2021 it was Sheldon Haudenschild and Brent Marks splitting Summer Nationals laurels with Marks scoring the big 20K Saturday finale.

Haudenschild’s Friday win was the first of his career at Williams Grove.

Dewease was back again for a Friday victory in the 69K in 2022 while Saturday’s big money win went to outlaws champion Brad Sweet for his elusive first-ever Williams Grove victory.

Last year, outlaws driver Logan Schuchart of nearby Hanover scored one that kept the local fans happy on Friday before independent California driver Rico Abreu walked off with the $20,000 Saturday loot to record his first-ever oval checkers.

Adult general admission for Friday night is $35 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $15.

Saturday adult general admission is $40 with students ages 13 – 20 priced at $20.

Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Logan Wagner Wins 3rd Straight, Sweigart Wins 2nd RaceSaver Challenge, Yoder Wins Wingless Sportsman

Port Royal, PA - Logan Wagner charged from the outside of row 3 to the front to claim his 3rd straight Weikert's Livestock 410 sprint car win and his 4th win this season.

Gerard McIntyre and Blane Heimbach would make up the front row of the A-main event, and it would be Heimbach who would lead the opening circuit of the race.

McIntyre would overtake the driver out of Selinsgrove on the 2nd lap though and would momentarily pull away over the next 10 laps but would have plenty of battles going on behind him.

Logan Wagner would work his way up through the top 5 over the next 10 laps and would put a slider on McIntyre going into turn 1 with 14 laps remaining to take over the lead.

Wagner once in front would take on some wing damage to right-hand side of the top wing, bending it back just a touch, but it wouldn't affect The Pilot from getting back to victory lane.

"It didn't help me," said Wagner in victory lane. "I thought we were a little bit too loose especially on exit and didn't really know what happened and it makes sense now. It's just a testament to the Krietz crew to how good the car is."

A restart with 3 laps to go following a caution for Austin Bishop would give McIntyre one last shot at the lead. He would try to make a move on the bottom side of the speedway in turns 1 and 2 but left enough room for the 5 time track champion to get back by on the top side and hold on for the win.

Gerard McIntyre would finish in the 2nd spot and Blane Heimbach would round out the podium.

Aaron Ott would win the Valley Supply Hard Charger award worth $500 for going +7 on the night after starting in 20th and finishing in 13th.

Jake Waters would take home the $1000 courtesy of J&S Classics for the Warrior Award after the 19 pill was drawn by Wagner in victory lane.

In Penns Valley Meat Market RaceSaver Sprint car competition, Nick Sweigart would start on the front row of the 25-lap A-main and would lead all 25 circuits for the $950 win in the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge and would tally his 2nd win of this event in his career.

Sweigart would cut through lapped traffic throughout the event with Mifflintown driver Owen Dimm within a second margin of him throughout the event, but Dimm would never get close enough to make a move for the win.

"Starting position made everything there," said Sweigart in victory lane. "If we would've started deeper, I don't think that would've happened. Most importantly, I don't know that I'm doing this next year so this means that much more to me."

Owen Dimm and Logan Spahr would round out the top 3 in the A-main, and Zach Rhoades would win the Penns Valley Meat Market hard charger award for going from 21st to 13th.

The wingless sportsman A-main was dominated by Trent Yoder after he took the lead with 14 laps remaining.

Brett Perigo and Trent Yoder made up the front row of the feature event and Perigo led the opening 6 laps.

Yoder, though, had a big charge down the front stretch heading into turn 1 and would pull off a big slider to put himself in front of Perigo.

Perigo would try to battle back in turns 3 and 4 with the top 2 cars making contact between the nose and tail of the two cars, but both were able to stay straight.

Yoder would open up his lead to over 4 seconds and go on to win the A-main event with Curt Stroup getting into the runner up spot and Brett Perigo finishing in 3rd.

Port Royal Speedway will take the next weekend off and will be back in action on August 3rd which will feature Weikert Livestock 410 sprint cars, Selinsgrove Ford super late models, and Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models with the limited late models competing for a purse over $17,000 as a part of the 2nd Annual Ron Zimmerman Tribute Race.

AARON BOLLINGER CHARGES TO SECOND CAREER 410 VICTORY; Frankie Herr Wins 358 Sprint Feature

Abbottstown, PA (July 13, 2024) – Aaron Bollinger rolled the bottom of the 3/8-mile oval on Saturday night to score his second career 410 victory. Saturday’s win came 1,134 days after his first triumph which was on June 5, 2021 at Lincoln Speedway. The Fallen Firefighters / “Guise-Little Memorial” paid $6,000 to win along with high payouts throughout the field and additional bonus money.

Pole-sitter Kody Hartlaub paced the field along side Chad Trout for the start of the 36-lap feature. Hartlaub and Trout battled into turn 1 with Hartlaub coming out with the lead. Freddie Rahmer made his way from sixth to third, getting a solid start. Rahmer was closing in on Trout and pulled a slider in turns 1 and 2 and took second on lap 6. Matt Campbell got by Trout on the next lap to take third. Rahmer reeled in Hartlaub as they closed in on the tail end of the field. Rahmer took the lead from Hartlaub at the line on lap 8 with lapped traffic coming into play right away. Campbell wasn’t far behind and took second from Kody.

Devon Borden sat sideways in turn 2 bringing out the caution on lap 9. Rahmer led Campbell, Hartlaub, Trout and Troy Wagaman on the restart. Rahmer had a solid restart as Hartlaub, Trout and Wagaman battled for position. Wagaman was on the move and got by Trout and Hartlaub to get into third. That left Hartlaub and Trout to fend off Aaron Bollinger.

After another caution, Rahmer got another good restart and Bollinger moved into fourth after getting by both Trout and Hartlaub coming off turn 2. As Wagaman and Campbell battled for second the yellow came out again for Michael Millard who sat in the bottom of turns 3 and 4.

Wagaman looked to the bottom to get under Campbell on the restart but did not make the pass. Bollinger was right there to challenge Wagaman for third. Wagaman moved down to block Bollinger’s line.

Rahmer caught lapped traffic on lap 23 which helped Campbell reel in Rahmer. Campbell got into the back of a slower car but still held on to second. The caution came out for the slower car of Travis Scott. This time Campbell got a better restart and the bottom was working for him as Rahmer stuck to the top. Bollinger also found the bottom and was reeling in both of the leaders. Rahmer was able to keep his momentum going around the top but Campbell was working the bottom and the two were wheel to wheel for the lead coming out turn 2 when the caution came out on lap 31, putting a halt to an epic battle.

Rahmer, Campbell, Bollinger, Wagaman and Hartlaub were the top five for the restart with five laps to go. Rahmer went to the bottom on the restart to block Campbell. Bollinger got under Campbell for second and was on Rahmer’s tail as the laps wound down. Bollinger took the lead with two laps to go.

Bollinger rolled the bottom and got to the line 1.908 seconds ahead of Rahmer for the win. Campbell was third and Wagaman finished fourth. Tyler Ross, the hard charger of the race, drove from his 12th starting spot to finish fifth.

Frankie Herr Wins 358 Sprint Feature

Pole-sitter, Jude Siegel led the field into turn 1 with Matt Findley in second and Logan Rumsey and Frankie Herr battling for third. Steve Owings joined the battle as there was melee in turns 1 and 2 bringing out the caution.

Siegel, Findley, Herr, Owings and Doug Hammaker made up the top five for the restart. Hammaker looked under Owings for fourth on the restart with Owings holding onto the spot and putting pressure on Herr for third. Herr got by Findley for second and Hammaker moved into fourth. Doug then kept his charge to the front going and got by Findley for third.

The red came out when Bryn Gohn flipped in turn 3. Owings got by Findley for fourth on the restart and Siegel and Herr raced wheel to wheel for the lead coming off turn 4. Herr took the lead on lap 6 and Hammaker moved into second.

Hammaker was running the top to reel in Herr when the yellow came out on lap 10. Hammaker looked to the top on the restart but Herr held the lead using the bottom of the track. Hammaker tried the low line in turns 1 and 2, but Herr still held on to the top spot.

Herr held on to become the sixth different winner in the six 358 sprint car features this season. Hammaker was second, Siegel finished third and Owings crossed the line fourth. Findley completed the top five.

Next Saturday, July 20, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with Dean’s Auto Plaza night featuring the 410 sprint cars and 358 sprint cars.

"I felt really good early," said Wagner in victory lane. "I feel like they keep giving me cars like that, we're going to keep winning."

Jeff Halligan would hold on for 2nd and Jake Karklin would round out the podium.

Logan Wagner would win the Valley Supply hard charger worth $500 and Jake Waters would win the J&S Classics Warrior Award after the 20 chip was drawn in victory lane and he was the 20th place finisher.

In Selinsgrove Ford super late model competition, Justin Weaver would lead from the opening lap to pick up his 2nd straight and 2nd overall win at Port Royal Speedway.

It wouldn't be without a late challenge though from Colton Flinner who would overtake Weaver with 6 laps remaining.

His pass wouldn't hold however as heavy lap traffic in front of the leads would slow Flinner enough for Weaver to retake the lead and never look back to hold on for the win.

Flinner would finish in 2nd and would claim the night's Lauver's Concessions Hard Charger award and Dillan Stake would finish in 3rd.

For the Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models, Shawn Shoemaker would lead from wire to wire to claim the victory.

Trent Brenneman would make a few attempts for the lead on the inside of the corners but couldn't hold the speed to overtake and Shoemaker would claim his first victory of 2024.

Brenneman would hold on for 2nd and Ryan Zook would round out the podium.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action on Saturday July 20th with Weikert Livestock 410 sprint cars, Penns Valley Meat Market PA Sprint Sprint Series 305 sprint cars and the wingless sportsman all presented by Bobby Rahal Toyota of Lewistown.

Selinsgrove Speedway

July 8, 2024

Written by Bert Wojcik

Selinsgrove,PA- For those that say the dog days of summer are in August. May I introduce you to PA Speedweek. The sun was scorching hot on Sunday in Snyder County. But a packed grandstands braved the heat for the final night of Pennsylvania Speedweek Presented by Red Robin. The points battle as it does most years came down to the final night. Where Dillsburg,PA Anthony Macri and Gettysburg,PA Danny Dietrich were the last two standing after 8 nights of racing coming into Selinsgrove. Coming into Selinsgrove, Macri led Dietrich by 62 points. Macri had three wins to Dietrich's two wins. The stage was set for a Sunday night battle. When the dust settled Danny Dietrich would win the battle taking his second win of the season at Selinsgrove in the Opperman-Bogar-Heintzleman Memorial and his third win of the week. But Anthony Macri would win the war clinching his second straight PA Speedweek Presented by Red Robin Championship.Meanwhile Keith Jack would take home the win for the NY-PENN IMCA Modified Series presented by Insinger Performance.

The feature started with East Berlin,PA Kody Hartlaub and Dietrich on the front row. Macri would take the green in the third spot. Dietrich would cut down Macri lead in the standings to just 30 points after Dietrich earned $300 for Fast Tee’s Fast Time. For Macri to clinch the title, he would need to finish 7th or better in the 30 lap feature. On the start Dietrich would get around Hartlaub and start to pull away and lead lap 1. Macri would waste little time getting around Hartlaub for second.

The only caution of the feature would come out on lap 4 for Cameron Smith spinning out in turn 2. Smith would return for a top 10 finish. The restart would come and Dietrich would pull away from Macri. It wouldn't take long for Dietrich to hit lap traffic. Only 8 laps in and Dietrich and Macri would get into lap traffic.

On lap 11 Macri would chip away at the lead and try to get a run on Dietrich off of 4 but got loose off of turn 2 and that would be the closest Macri would get for now. Hanover,PA Troy Wagaman would settle into the third spot. Meanwhile upfront Dietrich would put a clinic in lap traffic slicing his way through the field. Macri was having a tough time getting off of turn two where Dietrich was having a better time off the corner.

Back through the field. Medford,NJ Justin Whittall who missed his heat race and started 19th. Was making his way through the field and ended up being hard charger on the night finishing a solid 4th marking his 2nd straight top 5 finish at Selinsgrove in the two events he ran this year.

Meanwhile up front Macri tried, but he knew where he needed to be as Danny Dietrich would take the checker flag for his 2nd win of the season at Selinsgrove and 9th career win at the track, his 10th of the season. But it would be Anthony Macri 2nd place finish to clinch the 2024 Pennsylvania Speedweek presented by Red Robin championship. Wagaman would end up third. Whittal fourth and Devin Borden would round out the top 5.

“Anthony keeps you on your toes,” Dietrich said in High Caliber Cranes Victory lane.” But we had a great week. Lincoln really killed me. Dug us a whole in time trials. Lincoln really set a fire under my butt and Jake yelled at me. But glad to get a win here for all the fans that don’t like me.” Dietrich's top 10 finish also needed him the Selinsgrove Ford 10 for 10 bonus earning a $5,000 bonus for finishing in the top 10 all 9 nights of Speedweek.

“We have a great group of guys. They never gave up or got upset.” Macri said in High Caliber Cranes Victory Lane on his crew and the Speedweek Championship. “ I said it before, it's 10 miserable days but it's all worth it when it ends like this. We got a good bit of momentum going into the month of money. This week feels a little more rewarding than last year with the way we fought back this week.”

The 20 lap NY-Penn IMCA modified feature would start with Rodney Morgan and Jacob McConnel on the front row. Morgan would get a great jump and take the early lead and lead lap one. Keith Jack who started back in the 7th spot was up to 4th on the 3rd lap making his charge for the front. It wouldn't take long for Jack to get around McConnel for the 3rd spot after McConnel would get passed by Jared Spalding for 2nd.

The first yellow of the event would come out with McConnel spinning out on lap 9. On the restart Morgan would get the jump again on Spalding. He would be fighting Keith Jack for the second spot off of turn 2. The 71 of Brad Chilson would slow and the 31 of Brad Delamater would spin in turn 3 bringing out the caution to make it a 4 lap shootout.

The lap 16 restart would see Morgan continue to get a great restart. Jack would get around Spalding for the 2nd spot on the restart. With two laps to go Jack would close in on Morgan on the highside off of turn two. Down the back straight he would pull side by side and take the lead off of Morgan and Keith Jack would score the victory over Morgan, Spalding would be third, Brandon Smith fourth and JW Lampeter rounded out the top 5.

“ We tried the cross over move on Jared and it worked, '' Keith Jack said in High Caliber Cranes victory lane. “ Saw the run we got on Morgan and that's all it took to get around him on the highside.”

The Selinsgrove Speedway is back in action one final night before the Summer Break coming up this Saturday July 13th for Pack the Track Night with FREE General Admission, Featuring the LIL Bob’s Road Runner 20 paying $1,299 to win and over $3,000 added to the purse.

Dietrich would get by Macri just as the caution would fly with 9 laps remaining, while Marks and Wagner continued to lead.

Dietrich would.begin to fall through the field and would hold on to an 8th place finish while Logan Wagner would make his way to victory lane.

"That was a hard race," said Wagner, "I felt like I was being tracked down by the 19. We were able to pick off the lap cars. Apparently, Davey and Donnie gave me the best car there was."

Brent Marks held on to 2nd and Anthony Macri would round out the podium. Macri will carry a 63 point lead into the final race at Selinsgrove Speedway.

In Selinsgrove Ford super late model competition, Justin Weaver was able to lead from lap 1 to lap 25 for the $4,000 win.

Macri Wires For Williams Grove Smith Memorial 20K Win

Dillsburg pilot takes speedweek series point lead

7/5/24

Mechanicsburg – Anthony Macri wired the field for the $20,000 win in the 36th annual Mitch Smith Memorial at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night as part of the Pennsylvania Speedweek Series for 410 sprint cars.

The victory was the ninth of Macri’s career at the oval and his third this season as well as his third of the speedweek series.

Both Macri and Chad Trout shared the front row for the start of the 30-lap main event with Macri zipping into the lead when action began.

Defending event winner and sixth starter Brent Marks drove up to third on the third lap and began working on Trout for second.

By lap eight Macri was beginning to work the rear of the field as Marks continued working on the second spot.

Marks had just made a move around Trout to net second when the only caution flag of the race unfurled with 11 laps completed for a stopped Ryan Smith who had sustained front-end damage.

The caution flag wiped out the 1.1 second lead that Macri held over the field.

Macri went back to work running off from the field when action resumed however the battle expected between Trout and Marks never developed as Trout held strong for the duration.

Instead, fourth starter Logan Schuchart began fighting with Marks for third and the pair exchanged the spot during the final circuits with Marks ultimately getting the upper hand by the finish.

The performance by Macri coupled with a finish of eighth by Danny Dietrich in the feature moved Macri into the speedweek point lead by 36 points after he entered the night 30 points out of the lead, behind Dietrich.

The win was the first of Macri’s career in the prestigious Williams Grove Mitch Smith Memorial.

Schuchart rode home fourth followed by Freddie Rahmer.

Sixth through 10th went to Lance Dewease, Lucas Wolfe, Dietrich, TJ Stutts and Chase Dietz.

Heats went to Marks, Wolfe, Daryn Pittman and Rahmer. The B Main was taken by Mike Walter II.
