For some race fans, nothing could be better than 3 divisions of sprint car racing on one card. For the open wheel enthusiasts, that’s just the case this Saturday when the Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt winged 410 sprint cars invade Lernerville Speedway to battle for $5,000 to win the 30-lap main event. Joining them on the program will be the Allegheny Racesaver winged 305 sprint cars and the RUSH crate engine wingless sprints.
Brandon Spithaler, from nearby Evans City, Pennsylvania holds the tour point lead and will be the local favorite on Saturday. However, Ricky Peterson Jr. plans to get back on track to make a run at the title. The Rawson, Ohio wheelman led the standings for the first half of the year, but some recent bad luck has plagued the team. But not to be left out, North Port, Florida’s Danny Sams III has been climbing through the standings all season long as he and Jordan Ryan of Castalia, Ohio still have a serious shot at the $15,000 to win tour championship.
Resting just outside of the top four is 410 rookie Justin Clark who is currently without a ride for the weekend. Justin has a pair of podium finishes this year coming at Knox and Wayne County, but is seeking a seat to finish the tour. Behind Clark is the trio of Jeremy Weaver, Jack Sodeman Jr and Sean Rayhall, while Mitch Harble and Trey Jacobs round out the top 10.
On Saturday at Lernerville, pit gates will open at 4 with general admission gates open at 5. Hot laps and qualifying are set for 6:30 with racing at 7:30. Adult general admission is $18 with kids 10 and under free. Pit passes will be $30. For competing teams, all cars must go through Lernerville Speedway safety tech.
