Anthony Macri Crowned.


Rain may have won the final two nights, but nothing could wash away what was arguably one of the biggest PA Speedweeks in history.


šŸ By the Numbers:

• Over $500,000 in posted purse money.

• More than 400 feature laps completed.

• 289 Sprint Car entries across the eight completed events.

• An estimated 40,000+ fans packed grandstands from Grandview to Port Royal.

• Eight races at six legendary speedways before Mother Nature ended the week early.


Track-by-Track:


šŸ“ Williams Grove Speedway

Night 1 - 32 Entries

Anthony Macri returned from injury and reminded everyone why he’s one of Pennsylvania’s best, kicking off Speedweek with a statement victory.


šŸ“ Lincoln Speedway

Night 2 - 38 Entries

Chase Dietz bounced back from an opening-night DNQ to dominate the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial.


šŸ“ BAPS Motor Speedway

Night 3 - 37 Entries

Dietz continued his hot streak, proving once again BAPS has become one of his strongest tracks.


šŸ“ Lincoln Speedway — Steve Smith Tribute

Night 4 - 50 Entries

The biggest crowd of the week watched Chase Dietz cash an incredible $50,019 in one of the richest Sprint Car races in Pennsylvania history.


šŸ“ Grandview Speedway

Night 5 - 24 Entries

Anthony Macri finally checked Grandview off his bucket list, earning one of the most satisfying wins of his career.


šŸ“ Port Royal Speedway

Night 6 - 44 Entries

Dietz and Macri delivered one of the races of the week, with Dietz stealing the victory late through heavy traffic.


šŸ“ Hagerstown Speedway

Night 7 - 32 Entries

Macri capitalized on misfortune in the points battle and never looked back, taking another Speedweek win.


šŸ“ Williams Grove Speedway Mitch Smith Memorial

Night 8 - 32 Entries

A last-lap drag race. Anthony Macri edged Chase Dietz by 0.041 seconds in one of the finishes fans will be talking about for years.


šŸŒ§ļø Port Royal’s Independence Day finale and Selinsgrove Speedway were both rained out, ending the richest Speedweek ever two races short.


The racing was spectacular. The grandstands were packed. The pits were loaded with talent. Pennsylvania once again proved why it’s still the heart of Sprint Car country.


PA Speedweek doesn’t just crown a champion — it reminds the entire racing world where Sprint Car racing is at its absolute best.
