As Preston Lattomus readies himself for the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, he reflects on the progress and experiences he’s gained during his rookie season in a 410 sprint car. With ten races spread over ten days, Speedweek provides an excellent opportunity for Lattomus to hone his skills further and gather invaluable experience at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.

RECENT RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  June 6, 2025 / Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA

DRIVEN

Looking back on the season so far, Preston notes that while he hasn’t reached his ideal performance level yet, the journey has been both challenging and rewarding. Racing in Pennsylvania, a region known for its tough, competitive sprint car environment, has been an eye-opener for him. Although he may not have hit every target, he understands that these experiences are essential steps toward becoming a more proficient driver. 

“I know 410 racing in Pennsylvania is the hardest racing in the world, and it takes time to compete with the best,” Lattomus acknowledges.

Having previously taken part in speedweeks for micro sprints, Preston is no stranger to the demands of consecutive racing days. This experience has prepared him somewhat for the rigors of the upcoming Speedweek, though he notes that the stakes are higher and the competition is fiercer at the 410 level.

“Getting ready for Speedweek isn’t a completely new thing, but I realize it will be more races at a much higher level, and I am ready for it,” Lattomus remarked. 

The ten days are seen as a beneficial chance to accumulate laps quickly and absorb the lessons each day offers.

Preston has outlined clear objectives for the upcoming Speedweek. His primary aim is to qualify for all of the A-main events and maximize learning opportunities. Qualifying will be a key to achieving that goal, and that is something he has already identified as an area needing improvement.

“I want to improve my qualifying efforts.  That is critical for a lot of big races we run, so this is a good series to get a chance every day for ten days to work on it.  My goals for Speedweek are to make all of the features and learn as much as possible, and that will all start with qualifying well.” Lattomus shared. 

The series will also bring him to tracks that are new to him in a 410 sprint car, including Grandview, Selingsgrove, Hagerstown, and Path Valley. 

“Racing at a lot of different tracks helps you grow as a driver.  I want to apply what I’ve learned and give the team good runs at these new tracks.”, Lattomus added.

Preston’s drive to grow as a racer and learn from each experience underscores his commitment to the sport. He is approaching the upcoming series with optimism and sees it as a valuable opportunity for accelerating his development toward reaching the high level of performance he knows he is capable of.

At every other level of racing he has taken on, Lattomus has shown he knows how to learn and excel.  This rookie season is step one in that journey in 410 sprint cars.

UP NEXT

Lattomus will enter competition on all ten nights of the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, beginning Friday, June 27th at Williams Grove Speedway.

Tyler Ross Scores Runner-up Finish in Steve Smith Tribute, Heads Into PA Speedweek With Momentum

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Abbottstown, PA – June 23, 2025

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Tyler Ross has had good speed all season long, but hasn’t been able to put a full night together and show the results his team is capable of.

Most race nights this season have followed one of two paths.  He has been good early, then stumbled late.  He has struggled early, then shone late.

Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway’s Steve Smith Tribute and Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek tune-up, Ross forged a new path.  He and his team were good from qualifying through the final checkered flag.

QUICK RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  June 21, 2025 / Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Event:  Steve Smith Tribute
  • Stats:  Qualifying 5th, Heat 3rd (1), A-main 2nd (8)

MINOR HICCUP

Ross hit the track about halfway through the qualifying order and laid down a lap that was good enough for 4th quickest at the time, and it held up pretty well.  He ended up 5th quickest overall.

The only hiccup for Ross Saturday night was finishing 3rd in his heat race after starting on the pole.

“We just missed it a little bit, and I wasn’t able to get the start I needed.”, Ross explained.

“Fortunately, I was able to at least battle back to 3rd and keep us in a decent position for the feature.”

CONFIDENCE BOOSTER

Ross started 8th in the 35-lap main event that honored Steve Smith, winner of 150 sprint car races and nine track championships at Lincoln Speedway, including six consecutive titles in the 1970s at Lincoln Speedway.

As he has done often this season, Ross went forward.  He quickly cracked the top five on lap three.

Ross hung around 4th and 5th for the bulk of the race until a late-race restart with ten laps remaining provided a great opportunity to get more.  He charged from 4th into the runner-up spot in one corner and went on to hold off numerous challenges from Ryan Newton.

Ross tried to chase down leader Troy Wagaman Jr., but the gap was too much to close under green flag conditions.  He went on to secure the 2nd-place finish, his first podium of the season.

“I wish we had not missed it in the heat.  Feel like if we could have started a row or two better in the feature, we might have had something for Troy.”, Ross shared.

“We’ll certainly take a second, though.  We’ve had speed all year, but we had not been able to put a full night together and reach the podium until tonight.  Feels good to see all the hard work my team has put in paying off.”

“It’s going to be a busy week coming up.  I’m really happy to have some type of confidence going into it.”

Ross now sits 5th in Lincoln Speedway’s 2025 championship points standings.

UP NEXT

Ross has firmed up plans for at least four PA Sprint Speedweek races.  He will enter races two through five of the ten-race series:  Lincoln Speedway (6/28 & 6/30), BAPS Motor Speedway (6/29), and Grandview Speedway (7/1).

The team is still evaluating its options for the second half of the series.  They will share those plans when the decision is finalized.

Ross Charges To Top Ten Finish in Elijah Hawkins Memorial With All Stars

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Abbottstown, PA – June 10, 2025

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Image Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Through the first 18 races of the 2025 season, Tyler Ross has consistently delivered solid performances, securing 9 top ten finishes and demonstrating his team’s resilience.  Two other almost certain top tens slipped away after strong feature starts.

While Ross and his team have shown exceptional capability to land in the top ten consistently, they face the ongoing challenge of breaking through to the next level in 2025.  Achieving podium finishes and competing for wins remains the primary focus as they strive to convert their consistent results into top-five successes and, ultimately, wins.

 

QUICK RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  May 24, 2025 / Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Event:  Bob Leiby Memorial
  • Stats:  Heat 7th (7), A-main 9th (19)
  • Date/Location:  June 7, 2025 / Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Event:  All Star Circuit of Champions – Elijah Hawkins Memorial
  • Stats:  Group 2 Qualifying 12th, Heat 2nd (1), A-main 9th (14)

 

THE ANALYSIS

Reflecting on his recent outings, Ross acknowledged the speed his team has maintained throughout race nights. 

“We have speed all night,” Ross mentioned. “Even with the challenge of a narrow track during the heat a couple weeks ago, and then going out dead last in time trials this past Saturday night, we have managed to battle back and salvage good finishes both nights.”

Ross’s recent performance at Lincoln Speedway contributed to his tally of top ten finishes, which includes seven at the Abbottstown, PA oval.  The goal, however, is to convert these solid finishes into great finishes. 

“Getting the top five finishes we know we’re capable of requires us to be a little better early in the night.  That’s what is needed to allow us to position ourselves to get better starting spots and be within striking distance of the front of the field,” Ross explained.

THE KEYS

The balance between seeking early improvements without sacrificing success later in events is crucial.

Ross shared, “We are not far off.  I think we’re really close right now.  It’s just small adjustments we need to make, and I need to be up on the wheel a little bit more.”

In discussing the pressures of racing, Ross pointed out that much of it comes from his own expectations.

“Truthfully, I probably put the most pressure on myself.”, Ross admitted.

“My guys work hard, and our partners and sponsors give us what we need to get the job done. I need to be better, and I think that as we get more races, it will come.  The weather isn’t helping my cause. I typically do better the more laps I’m able to make, and this year it’s been hit or miss with all the rainouts. Hopefully, the weather changes and we can get more consistent laps in.”

Ross and his team remain focused on the task at hand, elevating top-ten finishes to podiums for the Ross Racing, Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota, Betts Garage No.5. 

UP NEXT

Ross Racing is weighing their options for the coming weekend.  An announcement will be made soon about where the team will be racing.

Lattomus Scores First Top Five in Season Full of Firsts

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Port Royal, PA – June 2, 2025

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Preston Lattomus entered his rookie season as a winged 410 sprint car driver knowing nearly every night would bring a new ‘first’.  

While not all of those firsts make headlines, there is always a positive element to each of them.  Each first represents a step forward in gaining experience.  Each first is progress, even if the results don’t feel like it.

Over the past two weekends, Lattomus has conquered two more firsts.  One of them is headline-worthy.

 

QUICK RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  May 24, 2025 – Bob Leiby Memorial, Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  Heat 3rd (3), A-main 4th (5)
  • Date/Location:  May 31, 2025 – Port Royal Speedway, Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  Group 4 Qualifying 7th, Heat 6th (7), B-main 5th (4)
 

CHECK THESE OFF THE LIST

Saturday night, May 24th, Lattomus entered the Bob Leiby Memorial at Lincoln Speedway in Pennsylvania and got his night off to a positive start by posting a 3rd place finish in his heat race, keeping Lincoln veterans Brandon Rahmer and Matt Campbell at bay.

In the 30-lap finale that night, Lattomus started on the inside of the third row and surged into a podium spot for the majority of the race before dropping one spot to a 4th place finish to earn his first career top-five finish in winged 410 sprint car competition.

“The first top 5 in a 410 just shows improvement from the first couple of races, which helps a lot with confidence.  It helps to run up front with good cars.”, Lattomus commented.

“I started up front in a feature at the beginning of the year and went straight backwards. So, to stay upfront and pass some cars shows the improvement in only a few races since then at Lincoln.”

This past Saturday night, with Lincoln Speedway cancelling their program due to the weather, Lattomus opted for a night at Port Royal Speedway.  The Lewes, DE driver has several past appearances at ‘The Speed Palace’, but this was his first time in a winged 410 sprint car.

Lattomus registered the 7th quickest lap in his qualifying group but was never able to quite recover from that.  He gained one spot in his heat race but fell one spot short of transferring to the main event.  In the B-main, he lost one spot and again fell one spot short of making the finale.  

The night wasn’t measured by the results, though.  The experience was gained, and the notebook was a little thicker for the next time.

“Port Royal has always been one of my favorite tracks to watch and especially race at.  We have shown so much speed every time we go there.”, Lattomus shared.

“The 410 is definitely a completely different animal at Port, and it will take some getting used to. I think we can get really good there and learn to enjoy the place as much as I have before in other divisions.”

REMINDER

Don’t forget to check out the team’s new website,  PrestonLattomus.com!  You’ll find all the latest news, schedule, results, stats, and photos.

Be sure to stop and visit Lattomus at the track and pick up one of his new hero cards that feature a unique logo marking the Lewes, DE driver’s rookie 410 sprint car season, as well as a bio, stats, and photos of Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.  Stop by to see Preston at the track, and he will be happy to autograph one for you!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Port Royal, PA – May 21, 2025

Kyle Keen’s 2025 racing season has been quite disjointed so far.  There have been welcome interruptions, like the arrival of he and his wife Taylor’s first child in April, and of course, there have been plenty of unwanted disruptions by Mother Nature.

On the somewhat distant heels of one race at Port Royal Speedway in late March and another at BAPS Motor Speedway in mid-April, Keen was finally able to return to the track the past two weekends.

Keen and team made their first ever trip to Tri-City Raceway Park in Franklin, PA on May 9th, then returned to Port Royal Speedway on May 17th.

QUICK RESULTS:

RECENT RECAPS

Keen made his first-ever visit to Tri-City Raceway Park’s half-mile oval on May 9th, and he was forced to jump right into the figurative ‘deep end of the pool’.  There was no hot lap session for sprint cars, so it was right to a heat race for the Carlisle, PA driver.

Following a 5th-place run in the heat, Keen took what he had learned and made adjustments to prepare for the 25-lap A-main.  He raced to a respectable 11th-place finish later that night in his debut.

“Definitely an improvement from where we have been and almost locked in a top 10, but of course we’re still not where we want to be.”, Keen said. 

“We started passing cars in the feature, and that’s a step in the right direction for us.  Not having hot laps and jumping right into heat races was a challenge for me at a brand-new race track, but we adjusted for the feature and made gains.  Tri-City (Raceway Park) is a cool place, and I would like to go back sometime. It was a deceptively fast track!”

Given the aforementioned interruptions to his schedule, it has been difficult for Keen to get into a rhythm this season.  His season opener at Port Royal in March ended in the B-main, then two weeks later, he finished 22nd at BAPS Motor Speedway.  Another four weeks went by before the team unloaded at Tri-City Raceway Park.

Saturday night, May 17th, Keen returned to Port Royal Speedway for the first time since his season debut in late March.  This time around the Carlisle, PA driver transferred to the main event through his heat race by logging a 5th place finish.  He officially finished 22nd after retiring from the race with ten laps remaining.

“Tonight was a positive step for us.  We made the show through the heat race and held off some good cars to do it.  The car was really good…really consistent…so I was able to drive in (to the corners) harder than I ever have there before.  A lot of credit for that goes to Mark (Smith).”, Keen commented.

MARK SMITH

As announced back in December, Mark Smith joined Kyle Keen Motorsports as a mentor and crew chief for the 2025 season.  Keen says Smith has already become an asset to himself and the team, helping build a solid foundation for consistent results.

“Mark has been really, really good for me and the team.  He has a positive attitude, patience, and there are no unrealistic expectations.”, Keen shared.

“He keeps working on the car, then tells me to go try it and let him know how it feels.  I don’t feel any unnecessary pressure.  We’re just working together to get better.”

“With Mark handling the car, I’m able to focus on the track, watch where guys are running, and get my plan together for the night as a driver.”

Smith is also serving as a mentor to Keen, who only has five seasons behind the wheel.

“After watching me, Mark will make suggestions like maybe enter higher or arc my corners differently, but he’s letting me figure it out using the options he gives me to consider.  That makes me think as a driver and better prepares me because I get a better understanding of when to use what approach.”

Keen says that as a result of Smith’s involvement, he has a much more consistent car than he has had in the past.  

“It’s almost like I’m re-learning how to race because the car is more predictable.  For example, we used to struggle in features, so I was just sort of making laps.  Now, the car is good, and I’m able to truly race.  I’m learning to manage a feature race, not just survive it.”, Keen explained.

LOOKING AHEAD

“It looks like the weather will start to get better, and we can start racing a little more.  We just need more laps.  That’s the only way to get better.”, Keen said.

While the primary plan is to race at Port Royal most weeks, Keen will venture to Lincoln Speedway this Saturday night for the Bob Leiby Memorial rather than take on the High Limit Racing teams and deep field at the Bob Weikert Memorial.  It’s a decision aimed at giving himself and the team the best opportunity to improve.

“We aren’t where we need to be yet to run with High Limit.  We need laps, and our best chance to get the maximum laps is to head to Lincoln this week.”, Keen added.

“We also want to get some track time at Lincoln because there are some big time trial shows there this year that we want to race.”

ABOUT  KYLE KEEN

Kyle has always been addicted to dirt racing, and after watching many sprint car races during the 2018 season, and spending time on the iRacing simulator, decided it was time to re-introduce the Keen Family back into sprint car racing. With no prior racing experience and only about a year of spinning wrenches on his grandfather’s sprints, Kyle resurrected the Keen Motorsports team and started his first season of racing in a 305 sprint car in 2019.

Progress Amidst Challenges: Lattomus Makes Show at BAPS on Heels of Outlaw Debut, Announces New Fan Engagement Initiatives

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

York Haven, PA – May 20, 2025

After competing in his first two World of Outlaws events, Preston Lattomus reflects on the invaluable experience gained from racing against some of the best in the sport. The deep fields and competitive environment have provided him with unique learning opportunities that are critical for his development as a driver.

“Getting to race with the Outlaws definitely helps in trying to learn as a driver,” Lattomus remarked. “The biggest takeaway was racing with such a high level of good cars and drivers. Competing with better cars and drivers certainly makes you better as a driver.”

Yet, amid the excitement, Lattomus identifies time trials as an area for improvement. 

“Time trials have been my biggest flaw recently. It puts me behind early in the night, and it’s something that needs to improve for me to get better,” he acknowledged. 

Lattomus is focused on gaining more opportunities to qualify, stating, “The main thing I can do is to get more laps and learn to put together two solid laps that can set me up for a good night.”

Outside the cockpit, Lattomus is learning from his fellow competitors. 

“I always try to learn from the guys who are fast and getting good results. Whether watching them off the track or following them on it, taking mental notes is important for making myself better.”, Lattomus shared.

Making the A-main at BAPS Motor Speedway Sunday night provided a confidence boost, as Lattomus secured a spot in the main event against a challenging 39-car field. 

“Making the feature definitely helps all around. Getting 30 good laps makes me more confident, as I get to learn more.”, Lattomus shared while reflecting on the night.

As he looks forward to upcoming races at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedway, Lattomus is eagerly anticipating the growth and learning opportunities that await. 

“Next weekend is a great opportunity to make good laps and have a good run or two. With a bigger race in town taking most high-quality guys out of the equation, it presents a good week of learning and growing as a driver in Central PA,” he concluded.

Lattomus continues to embrace each experience, both on and off the track, as stepping stones in his promising future behind the wheel.

Tony Jackson Rolls to Another Top-Five Finish at Bedford Speedway

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bedford, PA – May 5, 2025

by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

The consistent roll continues for Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing as the No. 88 machine secured a solid fifth-place finish in Winged Sportsman competition this past Friday at Bedford Speedway. The result extends Jackson’s impressive run of consecutive top-five performances across both winged and wingless events.

Racing activities were canceled on Saturday at Path Valley Speedway Park as a result of inclement weather.

“The results will show a top five, but the rain really did a number on the track and made it tough to pass,” said Jackson. “Mother Nature just seems to be messing with us whether we’re racing or not, so we’re just kind of rolling with the punches and making the best of things.”

Jackson kicked off the night by participating in a pre-race radio show sponsored by Middleswarth Potato Chips and a late-afternoon storm briefly delayed the night’s racing schedule. However, once the track was ready, Jackson wasted no time getting down to business.

He finished where he started – fourth – in a heat race and as a result earned the seventh starting position for the A-main. Struggling to make up for difficult track conditions, he was able to persevere forward two spots to take the checkered flag in fifth.

“It was one of those nights where you kind of were at the mercy of where you started and hoping for some help,” he said. “Ultimately, we passed two cars, which was about as good as it got considering all the rain they got, so I guess there’s nothing to hang our heads about.”

With two wins already this season and a string of podiums and top-five finishes, Jackson and the Scott Hess Racing team are riding high with confidence and momentum.

Next up, the team will turn their attention back to winged action with a single night of racing this Saturday at the BAPS Motor Speedway. However, as an added bonus through a combined effort with team owner Mike Callahan, Jackson will pull double duty and compete with the USAC East Coast cars as well.

“I’m a little excited, honestly. We tagged onto the field the other week at Port Royal and ran well lap time-wise with the series when we were running our Sportsman motor,” said Jackson. “We’ll have a little better 358 motor this time out that lines up better with the series, so it should be a lot of fun to see where we can stack up against some good cars. More track time is always better, and I’m confident we’ll be able to really hold our own and compete for a win.”

ABOUT  TONY JACKSON

With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.

Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

Tyler Ross Makes Change, Finds Speed Before Big Shows Roll In

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

York Haven, PA – April 29, 2025

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Tyler Ross made the decision to make a change.  Sunday night at BAPS Motor Speedway he got confirmation of his instincts.

The Ross Racing, Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota, Betts Garage No.5 was quick in qualifying and claimed a heat race win over some of the best cars in the field.

 

QUICK RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  April 18, 2025 / Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  Group 2 Qualifying 14th, Heat 8th (7), B-main 5th
 
  • Date/Location:  April 19, 2025 / Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  Qualifying 23rd, Heat 6th (8), A-main 9th (17)
 
  • Date/Location:  April 27, 2025 / BAPS Motor Speedway, York Haven, PA
  • Stats:  Group 3 Qualifying 4th, Heat 1st (1), A-main 14th (7)

 

Ross has struggled to find speed early in the evening, especially since crashing and repairing his primary car early in the season.

Last weekend the team made their first trip of the year to Williams Grove Speedway, where they had the same issue and missed the show by one spot.

“The Grove has always been a love/hate for us, so I wasn’t totally sure whether to blame the car or myself for not qualifying better.”, Ross said.

The following night at Lincoln Speedway, where Ross has plenty of seat time, it happened again.  He was 23rd best under the clock and had to fight his way to a top-ten finish from the 17th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main.

Ross has collected six top-ten finishes this year, with five of them being earned from starting spots of 12th or deeper in the field.

“After Saturday, I was convinced it was the car.  In my mind, it was time for a change.  The car just had not been responding to adjustments since the mid-March crashes and subsequent repairs.“, Ross shared.

Ross and his team pulled out a car he had run well in last season at some big shows and put it back together for Sunday’s race at BAPS.

After qualifying well and winning his heat, Ross started 7th in the A-main but got bottled up on the start and had to pit with a flat tire.  Fortunately, he was able to change it in time and rejoin the race at the rear of the field.

“I went back out and figured I’d make a few laps.  I didn’t even have a W-link after the flat, but I was passing cars.  Since the points fund BAPS (Motor Speedway) is pretty good, I figured why not try to get what I can get.”, Ross said.

“I feel comfortable again.  I’m happy with the car.  It’s doing what we want it to do when we make adjustments.  You can’t be going into big shows struggling.  We had to make a change.”

The bigger shows are coming soon, so hopefully this was the right change at the right time for Ross to make the most at those events.

This weekend, the team plans to be at Lincoln Speedway for their final chance to prepare for Tuesday’s World of Outlaw race at the Abbottstown, PA oval.

Tony Jackson Captures Second Wingless Victory of the Season at Port Royal Speedway

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Port Royal, PA – April 28, 2025

by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing added another trophy to the case this past weekend, as Jackson piloted the No. 88 machine to his second Wingless Sportsman victory of the season Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway.

The team’s weekend plans initially called for a doubleheader, but Friday’s Winged Sportsman event at Linda’s Speedway was canceled due to impending weather. That left all the focus on Port Royal—and Jackson delivered in a big way.

“We wanted to do Linda’s, but it just wasn’t in the cards for Mother Nature to cooperate,” said Jackson. “But Port Royal more than made up for the rainy Friday and we’re just excited to be running this good early in the season.”

Jackson kicked off the night by charging from fifth to second in his heat race, earning him the fourth starting spot for the A-main event. He quickly moved into a podium position in the early laps and by lap five had powered into second. Jackson then stalked the leader for more than 10 circuits, patiently waiting for his opportunity.

That opportunity came with five laps to go, as Jackson used a strong outside move through turns three and four to wrestle away the top spot. He led the remainder of the race, securing his second career Port Royal Speedway victory and his 48th career triumph in the Sportsman division.

With car counts lower for the USAC East Coast Sprint Cars, Jackson and Hess also took advantage of the opportunity to run with the wingless 360 Sprint Cars for the night. He finished seventh in a heat race and 18th in the A-main. The ability to get the extra laps on track is something Jackson said paid dividends not only financially, but set up wise as well.

“Honestly, we credit a lot of us winning that race in being able to run with the USAC East Coast guys for the night,” he said. “We got some valuable track time and made a few extra dollars. But overall we found a few things out and had the car better prepared for our feature and obviously it paid off as we found victory lane.”

Next up for Jackson and Scott Hess Racing is another busy weekend, as the team is slated to compete in Winged Sportsman action Friday at Bedford Speedway before removing the wing again for Saturday’s event at Path Valley Speedway Park. Jackson hopes to keep the recent hot streak alive and continue his run of front-running performances.

As an added bonus, Tony is slated to appear on a Middleswarth pre-race radio show prior to Friday’s action at Bedford Speedway, which will be simulcast via 103.1 FM and can be listened to via radio in the surrounding areas of the track and the Bedford Speedway loudspeaker 30 minutes prior to the night’s warmups.

“Bedford is a place I’ve only ran there a handful of times, but I’ve never lost in wingless competition there. Hopefully that success and knowledge can roll over to the winged Sportsman,” he said. “We’re only two away from 50 wins and honestly as good as we are running, I think we have a chance to achieve that goal in one weekend. I’m excited to get back to the track and keep having fun.”

Tony Jackson Scores Third-Straight Podium Finish with Path Valley Speedway Park Start

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The momentum continues to build for Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing, as the No. 88 machine raced to a third-place finish in Wingless Sportsman competition this past Saturday at Path Valley Speedway Park. The result marked the team’s third consecutive podium finish and another solid step toward their 2025 goals.

After finishing second in his heat race to secure a spot in the A-main, Jackson rolled off fourth on the starting grid. Navigating a tricky and challenging track surface, he was able to get to the front early and lead nine laps. However, as the track conditions changed, he lost the top spot and fell to second. Following a late race caution, he made a last ditch effort to get back to the front, which cost him a spot and he took the checkered flag in third.

“Typically, when we get to to the lead, we don’t lose it,” said Jackson. “With the wind and weather, the track was very bottom dominant early in the night. They watered the track before the A-main and we used the top to get to the front early.

“But I stuck to the top a little too long and Perigo found the bottom before we could. We were running second on a late restart and ultimately, we’re here to try and win races. I made a move to try and get it back and ultimately it cost us a spot and we ended up third,” he added.

With a win at BAPS Motor Speedway and now back-to-back podiums in wingless action, Jackson and the team have plenty to be confident about heading into a busy upcoming weekend.

Next up: a doubleheader featuring two different styles of racing. The team will head to Linda’s Speedway on Friday night for Winged Sportsman action before switching gears—literally—for Saturday’s Wingless Sportsman event at Port Royal Speedway.

“I’ve never raced at Linda’s, so we’re going into this event with a little bit of an open mind,” he said. “As far as Port goes, we’ve won there before so we have a good notebook of what to expect. So we’ve got the best of both worlds this weekend and I’m looking forward to contending for more wins and keeping this good streak of runs going.”
