Dietrich earns victory at Lincoln Speedway

It is a big week for sprint car fans. The PA Posse vs. The Outlaws are in the Spring sweep. On Tuesday at Lincoln Speedway, the Outlaws were the first to claim victory in the Gettysburg Clash.

Michael Buddy Kofoid charged from the second row to the lead on lap 19 ; Gravel swapped the lead back and then Buddy reclaimed it on the restart. Macedo was next to challenge, but came up a little short and Chase Dietz had battled back to third and was followed Gravel and Danny Dietrich.

Next up at Williams Grove, it will host the Morgan Cup for World of Outlaws and 410 sprint cars coming up this Friday and Saturday, May 8 and 9, at 7:30 p.m. both nights.

The Morgan Cup will find the outlaws and PA Posse sprint car drivers squaring off in a 25-lap main event on Friday, with the big prize up for grabs on Saturday night when a 30-lap feature is contested. The winner will score $12,000 on Friday night before Saturday’s finale pays $15,000 to win plus another $5,000 for Morgan Cup bragging rights, setting up a $20,000 take for the finale winner.

On Saturday at Lincoln Speedway, Danny Dietrich claimed victory. Cody Fletcher swept the first two 358 Sprint Car Features.

At Port Royal Speedwa,y Brock Zearfoss parked the 3Z machine in Kish Bank victory lane on Saturday night. Four cars battled for the lead in the late stages of the Weikert’s Livestock 410 sprint car A-main event.

Garrett Bard and Mark Smith started as front two of the 25-lap A-main event, but the field would not complete the first set of corners as Smith would end up spinning in front of the field and collecting Jake Karklin in the accident.

The field reset with Garrett Bard lined up alongside Justin Whittall to lead the field to green. The competitors would once again fire to life but not get a lap credited in the books as Zach Newlin and Steve Buckwalter would come together in the first corner to draw the second caution flag of the race. After the accident was cleared, the field would take the green and go non-stop the rest of the way for an exciting feature event.

Bard would take the early advantage on the initial start while Whittall would be forced to battle with Lance Dewease for the runner up spot. Dewease, who started started in fifth, would charge down Bard and take the lead with just four laps completed.

Whittall, who was piloting the 27H machine for the first time, would begin to hit his stride on the same lap, building momentum on the top side of the racetrack and driving around Bard for the runner-up spot with 20 laps to go.

Dewease’s lead would only last for six circuits around the speedway before Whittall would drive by him for the top spot off of turn four with seventh place starter Brock Zearfoss close behind him. Zearfoss would just as quickly go around Dewease for the second spot and had the 2025 Port Royal Speedway track champion in his sights.

While still parsing their way through lapped traffic at this point of the race, Zearfoss could not shake Whittall entirely and Ryan Smith and Logan Wagner, running third and fourth respectively, would start to come into the picture for the race win.

Over the final three laps, Zearfoss was able to put enough lapped cars between himself and the rest of the leaders to hold on and win for the first time at Port Royal Speedway in 2026. Justin Whittall would finish in the runner up spot and Ryan Smith would round out the top 3.

Jason Schmidt and Gary Stuhler would compose the front row of the 25-lap A-main with Stuhler jumping out to the early advantage. Stuhler would lead the field for 24 and 3/4 laps with Feathers following close behind.

But in the final lap, Feathers would start to peek to the outside of Stuhler and would charge around the Greencastle driver for the top position off of turn 4, holding him off by just one car length at the finish line. In 305 sprint car competition, Jeff Weaver Jr. would start on the pole alongside Tyler Brehm and lead all 20 laps to pick up his first career win at Port Royal Speedway.

Starting at $2.99/week.
