Central Pennsylvania’s storied sprint car racing tradition is taking a new step forward.
In a historic show of collaboration, the region’s premier tracks — Williams Grove Speedway, Lincoln Speedway, Port Royal Speedway along with eight other Central PA tracks — have joined forces to create a new racing series for the 2026 season, the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series.
The series will feature 47 events across 11 tracks, including PA Speedweek, Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway will each host 10 races, while Port Royal Speedway will hold nine.
BAPS Motor Speedway and Selinsgrove Speedway & Raceway Park will host four events apiece. Clinton County Speedway, Path Valley Speedway, Bedford Speedway and Bridgeport (N.J.) Speedway each appear twice on the schedule, with Hagerstown Speedway and Grandview Speedway hosting one event each.
The payout for the series will exceed $1.8 million, with every race paying a minimum of $6,000 to win and $600 to start. An incredible $200,000 point fund will reward the top 15 teams, including a standout $50,000 payday for the champion.
For the first time, Central PA’s top promoters have worked together to build a coordinated schedule that ensures major races will not compete against one another, allowing teams, fans, and sponsors to experience the best the region has to offer without conflict.
“This is a huge win for everyone involved in Central Pennsylvania racing,” said Jerry Parrish, General Manager at Lincoln Speedway. “By working together, we’re giving fans a stronger, more unified schedule and creating more opportunities for drivers to race for meaningful money right here in PA.”
“I feel this is the first step and way overdue to keep 410 sprint car racing alive and strong for now and for the future in Central PA for our great teams and fans,” shared Steve O’Neal, promoter at Port Royal Speedway.
A full schedule and additional details — including the format, schedule and point structure — will be announced in the next few days.
