YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Danny Dietrich has taken strides in the offseason to become a smarter and improved Sprint Car driver. His dedication has paid off. Not only has he become a more tactical driver, it's led to more early-season wins. That was the case Sunday at BAPS Motor Speedway. Dietrich lost the lead to Brock Zearfoss, stayed focused, and retook the top spot to capture his 12th career win at the York Haven speedway. “I kind of had a new focus since January 1st,” Dietrich said after his third...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Two weeks ago, Cale Reigle was in a good spot to capture his first PA Sprint Series win of 2019 at BAPS Motor Speedway. Reigle was on the pole and took the lead on the opening lap of the Sunday Sprint Car extravaganza. Then the rain came, and the remainder of the 20-lap main event was moved to Saturday night. It was worth the wait. Reigle led the final 19 circuits, outrunning Devin Adams to claim the first of two 305 Sprint Car features. “I think the best I’ve ever done here...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Mike Enders has always shown speed at the old Susquehanna Speedway, regardless of the division he was running. When Enders was in a 358 Sprint Car, he won in 1997. Throughout the years, he was also good in the Super Sportsman class, ripping off numerous second-place finishes. But wins have eluded Enders in the competitive division. That is until Saturday night at Susquehanna, which is now BAPS Motor Speedway. Enders surged past a pair of fellow competitors early in the 25-lap...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Cory Eliason knows how difficult it is to come to central Pennsylvania and win in the 410 Sprint Car division. It’s not only the stiff competition, the tracks are also different. There are few, if any, tracks in California — Eliason’s home state — that can prepare you for the surfaces in this region. And yet, Eliason’s made the proper adjustments. That was evident Thursday night at racy BAPS Motor Speedway. Eliason invaded and conquered the tricky surface and claimed the Greg...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: It’s been difficult for Scott Dellinger to live up to his 2018 championship performance at BAPS Motor Speedway. Of course, trying to duplicate winning nine races and finishing in the top three on a weekly basis to dominate the competitive Super Sportsman division is no easy task. Especially when the rest of the field has upped their game. Dellinger has been shut out so far in 2019. That changed Saturday night, when the defending champion stormed to the front and captured the...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Gerard McIntyre Jr. looks forward to coming back to central Pennsylvania with the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions. It’s a chance to race for more money at home at places he has run at in the past and had a measure of success in local competition. The first three nights of the four-race swing weren’t up to expectations. That changed Sunday night, when McIntyre overcame adversity and held off Dale Blaney for the entertaining victory in the 30-lap Justin...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: It should come as no surprise that Frankie Herr is starting to find a little speed toward the end of the season at BAPS Motor Speedway. The prestigious Gary Wolford Super Sportsman 100 is two weeks away, and Herr’s made a career at being the driver to beat. The Carlisle, Pa., driver has won it eight times — tops of any driver — at three different tracks and is looking to add to that total. Herr took a step in that direction Saturday night at the York Haven facility. Not only...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Australian driver James McFadden had no plans to come to the United States to race a Sprint Car in 2019. Then, he got a call from Kasey Kahne. The former NASCAR star and now Sprint Car driver was injured in a crash at Williams Grove Speedway early in the season and needed someone to fill the seat. McFadden jumped at the opportunity, and ever since he’s joined the Kasey Kahne Racing organization, he’s been fast. That continued Thursday night at BAPS Motor Speedway. McFadden...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Chase Dietz is still in his first season with the Rick Lefever-owned team and doesn’t have a lot of experience at BAPS Motor Speedway. Those two factors probably didn’t help expectations Saturday night at the York Haven facility. Still, this team is starting to jell and find speed. That was obvious in the 30-lap main event. Dietz fell back to third, but he made a late-race charge to earn a confidence-building victory worth a $5,000 payday. “This was huge,” Dietz said. “We had...more

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Like any 19-year-old kid trying to make a name for himself in a division, Landon Price has experienced the ups and downs in racing. One week, he shines with a top five run in PASS/IMCA 305 Sprint Car competition. The next, he struggles and a simple top-10 run is an undertaking. Things have started to turn in a more consistent upward direction of late. Price has found speed, and it was on display Friday night at BAPS Motor Speedway, when he charged to the front and captured the...more
