Cisney picks up tenth career win at Port Royal

The season is quickly coming to an end as the weather feels like fall is upon us and Port Royal is full on in Juniata County Fair mode.

On Saturday night, Dylan Cisney went from no 410 sprint car ride to a winner on Saturday night when he won in his new job with the Stewart Smith racing in just two races behind the wheel. He would lead the final 11 laps to pick up his tenth career victory at Port Royal Speedway.

Cisney and T.J. Stutts would start on the front row of the 25 lap A-main event, and Cisney would jump out to the early lead Though Cisney would jump out to the early advantage, he didn’t run away from the field with both TJ Stutts and Blane Heimbach staying within striking distance of the leader. With just four laps completed, Heimbach, who was now in the second spot, would attempt a pass on the bottom lane of turns one and two on Cisney.

The three leaders – Cisney, Heimbach, and Ryan Newton – looked like they might go three wide battling for the lead with 6 laps to go when the caution lights would come on around the race track for a stopped Derek Hauck in turn three.

Once the accident was cleared, Cisney would stick his car close to the wall in turns one and two to keep Newton at bay. Cisney would hold on for the $5,000 win, marking his tenth at The Speed Palace in his career. Heimbach would finish in the runner up spot and Newton would fight his way back to round out the top three. Newton also would claim the Ramsey’s Car Wash Hard Charger honors for his run from 16th to third.

For the super late model edition of the Butch Renninger Memorial Race, Gregg Satterlee would etch his name in the race’s record books for a leading sixth time on Saturday night.

In the limited late models, Tyler Bare would charge away from lane Snook on the final half lap and pick up his first Butch Renninger Memorial Race win in limited late model competition worth $3,333. With his runner up finish, Snook claims the 2025 track championship at Port Royal Speedway in the limited late model competition.

MONDAY’S LABOR DAY CLASSIC

Brock Zearfoss picked up the Lynn Paxton Tribute Race in the 4 FWD 4-Cylinders, a whopping 36 cars started the A-main event. But AJ Hoffner would not be denied, as he led all the laps on the way to Port Royal Speedway Kish Bank victory lane.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in competition on Thursday with Kubota High Limit Racing paying $10,000 to the winner in 410 sprint car competition. The event will be supported by the 305 sprint cars. The 305s will be limited to the top 24 in their point standings.

On Friday night, King Anthony Macri won the three-way battle for the sprint car win at Williams Grove Speedway, taking $8,000 for his fourth oval victory of the season in the Zemaitis Tribute Race.

Danny Dietrich took the lead at the start, beating Parker Price Miller back to the stripe with control. After starting fifth, Chase Dietz motored up to second on the opening lap and began his quest for the lead with Macri moving by Price Miller for third on the ninth circuit.

Dietrich entered the rear of the field on the 11th tour and immediately began to struggle putting cars a lap down, getting bottled up behind Brady Bacon. This allowed both Dietz and Macri to close in.

Dietrich missed his mark in the first turn on lap 19, and Dietz immediately drove to his inside while Macri blasted to the outside. And on lap 23, a crowd-pleasing three-car battle for command had Macri changing lanes to the inside, with Dietz in the middle and Dietrich up on the cushion in the second corner.

Macri would drive to the win by .369 seconds over Dietrich, who was racing for his second win in a row. Dietz settled for third followed by Troy Wagaman Jr. and Price Miller. Sixth through tenth went to Brock Zearfoss, Austin Bishop, Freddie Rahmer, Logan Rumsey and Ryan Newton.

Steve Drevicki took the win in the 360 sprint feature for his third career oval win in the division.

Down at Lincoln Speedway, Chase Dietz made the most of a front-row starting spot on Saturday night, holding off a host of challengers and mastering heavy lapped traffic to score the $10,000-to-win 35-lap feature event.

The first 358 Sprint Summer Series event of the season at Lincoln Speedway saw the distance shortened from 25 laps to 20 due to track conditions, but that didn’t slow down Adam Carberry, who held off heavy pressure to score his first Lincoln Speedway victory.
