Newsmaker of the Week

Logan Schuchart is a millionaire! The Hanover, PA driver, grandson of Sprint Car driving legend Bobby Allen, led every lap in last Thursday’s Eldora Million, winning the biggest prize in the history of Sprint Car racing. Schuchart had his opportunites in the race to make a mistake, and made none. His car, usually bullet-proof, were all that and then some …

At Stafford Motor Speedway last Friday night, Woody Pitkat raced to victory in the track’s Open Tour Modified 80-lap feature. The win could not have come at a more meaningful time for Pitkat. It was his birthday, and it was also just two days before the one year anniversary of his father’s death. Woody’s wife and children were at Stafford …

In week one of PA Speedweek, Anthony Macri was the man to beat. His closest rival was Brent Marks. This past week, it was Marks’ turn to turn up the heat and he did just that, outrunning Macri in a pair of stunning race wins, at Hagerstown and at Williams Grove. These were spectacular drives, equal part bravery and finesse and …

To say that Anthony Macri was fast out of the starting gate in the first two races of the 2023 edition of PA Speedweek is to say it right. Macri came out best in a sensational three way dogfight for the race win at Lincoln Speedway with Brent Marks and Danny Dietrich giving it all they had to unseat him. The …

The USAC Sprint cars and stars were in the northeast last week, running five of six scheduled races. Emerson Axsom, Justin Grant, and Kyle Cummins won the races with Axsom, the only repeat winner, earning the 2023 USAC Eastern Storm Series championship. Axsom demonstrated remarkable consistency over the run of the series, backing up his two wins with two seconds and a …

This past weekend, Jim Bernheisel launched his Appalachian Mountain Super Late Model Series, a carefully crafted series of eight races over ten days. Clinton County, Port Royal, and Hagerstown were the first three venues and each one of the events was an unqualified success. Bernheisel and his staff had thought out all of the details: how to run races, how …

It may very well be the toughest ‘double’ in all of auto racing – winning back-to-back 410 Sprint races at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night and at Lincoln Speedway or Port Royal on Saturday night. Though many can, and do win at both tracks over the course of a single season, very few do it in succession. That’s why …

Lance Dewease, the unofficial leader of the PA Posse, had a weekend to remember against the All Star Circuit Of Champions who came to Central PA this past weekend. Dewease won the $10,000-to-win Williams Grove opener, then finished fourth at Port Royal ($1,800) the next night. He was just getting warmed up. On Sunday, with $29,000 on the line for the …

It’s a certainty that no driver in auto racing history had ever won a major 410 Sprint race and two NASCAR National Series races in the same week. The Sprint race, a High Limit Series event at Wayne County, Ohio, was a high profile affair. A come-behind-win at North Wilkesboro, NC in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck race was spectacular. But …

Asphalt Modified driver Ronnie Silk has spent a good many years in the sport, long enough to experience the highs, such as winning a NASCAR Whelen Modified Touring Series title, and the lows, such as losing rides after coming off winning seasons. Since teaming with Tyler Haydt and Joe Yannone and the No. 16, Silk has been riding high. Stafford …
