Port Royal

Mike Wagner of Harrisonville took home top prize in the Aumillers Insurance 410 sprint car division.  The title was the second of his career at Port Royal, also having claimed laurels in 1991. 

Scott Haus of Hamburg was honored as AB Auto Glass late model titlist for the fifth season in a row as part of his eight total career crowns at the Juniata County oval where he is the winningest all-time late model pilot.

Brian Towsey of Port Royal was feted as the 2011 Millers Auto Parts pro stock champion.  The title is Towsey’s first in the class although he was a co-champion in the former street stock class in 1994.

Jen Powell of Mifflintown claimed the title in the Juniata Tire Sales enduro dash division.

The 2012 Port Royal Speedway season opener featuring 410 and 358 sprint cars is slated for March 17 at 6 PM. 

Aside from their corresponding paychecks, each champion was presented with his or her own championship rings at the banquet ceremony as produced and donated by Foss Jewelers of Mifflintown and Lewistown. 

The title winners also each took home more than one beautiful, personalized championship jacket. 

Competition Tire East/Goodyear presented jackets to both the sprint car titlist and winning car owner.

Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic/Hoosier awarded a jacket to the pro stock victor and Goshorn Racing Supplies produced a jacket for the enduro dash champion.  

Championship jackets were also awarded to all four crown winners by Insinger Racing Fuels.

While Wagner was never able to break through for a win during the 2011 sprint car season, his accrual of four top-five finishes along with nine top-tens netted him the title aboard his familiar, self-owned No. 55 sprint car. 

His battle for the title wasn’t settled until the checkers flew in the season-ending Tuscarora 50, where he came up with a narrow 15-point margin over the point leader the majority of the season, Ryan Taylor of Perkasie.

Taylor finished second in points with 5,170 to Wagner’s 5,185.  Mike Erdley finished third with 5,065 followed by Chad Layton, 4,960; Lance Dewease, 4,925; Keith Kauffman, 4,680; Davey Sammons, 4,275; Rick Lafferty, 4,155; Justin Henderson, 4,014; and Todd Shaffer, 3,935.

Taylor claimed the Most Improved Driver award in the sprint car division while Sammons was honored as Rookie of the Year.  Cliff Brian was honored with the Sportsmanship award.

Haus piled up one win and 10 other top-five finishes to earn his unprecedented eighth title in the late model class.  And with the addition of a sixth and 10^th place finish in the rest of his 15 appearances, the veteran ace assured himself another title to go along with those in 1996, 1998, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Haus’ closest pursuer in the title race was Mitch Hack, who finished some 310 points back of his list topping 4,850.  Gary Beward was third in points, 4,480; followed by Tim Wilson, 4,430; Terry Naugle, 4,355; Waylon Wagner, 4,210; Andy Haus, 4,075; Mike Lupfer, 3,835; Bob Dunn, 3,780; and Patrick Bryner, 3,315.

Naugle was honored as Most Improved Driver in late models.  Bryner was Rookie of the Year and Wilson was Sportsman. 

Veteran Towsey copped four wins on his way to the pro stock crown along with finishes of second, third, sixth and eighth to end the season with 2,965 points.   

Josh Angle was second in pro stocks with 2,855; Harold Ranck was third with 2,845; Dan Berry was fourth with 2,825; Derrick Garman was fifth with 2,555; Lucas Bryner was sixth with 2,515; Keith Garman was seventh with 2,265; Jason Davis was eight with 2,255; Scott Landis was ninth with 2,180; and Dave Bowsman rounded out the top 10 with 2,060.

Jen Powell was first in her class in enduro dash competition, finishing outside the top-five only once in seven shows although falling short of a victory.

Behind Powell’s 2,275 points was Trent Brenneman, 2,150; Deron Henry, 2,130; Rick Adair, 2,125; and Craig Imes, 2,085.

The 2012 Port Royal Speedway season opener featuring 410 and 358 sprint cars is slated for Saturday, March 17 at 6 PM. 

The 2012 Port slate boasts some 25 events for the popular 410 sprint car division with three appearances by the All Stars including the April 28 Bob Weikert Memorial and the 45^th annual Tuscarora 50, an event in itself that could net one driver more than $30,000.

The 2012 Port Royal season opener is slated for Saturday, March 17 at 6 PM, featuring the 410 and 358 sprint cars. 

The popular super late models will be returning to Port Royal for nearly 20 shows during the new season.  

The late model slate is highlighted by a trio of special events including twin 15’s over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, a special championship race in July and in the popular 9^th annual Butch Renninger Memorial on September 1. 

The pro stocks, appearing some 16 times, will take center stage in the 12^th annual Deryl Stong Memorial on May 19.  Several enduro dash races are also planned along with appearances by the super sportsman, ARDC Midgets, 305 and 358 sprint cars.   

The two-day Tuscarora 50 All Star sprints weekend slated for September 7 and 8 as part of the 158^th annual Juniata County Fair will be the All Stars Eastern Region Finale events for the circuit. 

The All Stars Eastern Region champion will again garner a hefty $20,000 payday in 2012 and that money coupled with the always lucrative Tuscarora 50 payoff could end up producing a payout to one driver in excess of $30,000 if the winner of the 50 happens to also be the Eastern Region points leader at the end of the race. 

Plus, all the Port Royal races will play a key role in determining who will be the overall All Stars national champion by the time the season finally comes to an end for the travelers, worth another $20,000.

For the second year in a row, the wildly exciting wingless USAC sprint cars are scheduled to appear for the first time ever at Port Royal, on June 9. 

As such, Port Royal is again slated to crown the USAC Eastern Storm series champion after a nearly weeklong stretch of racing in the East by the fearless, wingless warriors. 

One of if not the most anticipated shows of the season at Port Royal in 2011, the maiden voyage by USAC to the track was rained out.

Another highly anticipated show at the track in 2011 was just the second-ever visit to the oval in history by the URC Sprints. 

And that band too will attempt to again race at the track in 2012, slated as part of Open Wheel Madness on August 25.

The track will honor the late Smokey Snellbaker, a three-time sprint car track champion in the 1970’s, with the Smokey Snellbaker Classic as part of the annual Keystone Cup series in May.

Other popular events returning to the track in 2012 include the Living Legends Dream Race, PA Speedweek and Fan Appreciation Night.  Several new promotional nights have also been added to the schedule.    

The full 2012 tentative Port Royal Speedway schedule can be viewed by visiting the speedway’s official website at www.portroyalspeedway.com. 

Season pit and general admission passes are on sale at the speedway office along with season seat tickets.

Doors for the ceremony will open at 5:30 pm. 

Those attending the banquet have the chance to be eligible to win several special door prizes including a pair of $50.00 gift certificates to Kear’s Speed Shop in Tiffin, Ohio.  Also up for grabs will be one night pit passes to the track, one night general admission passes, and more. 

In order to have a chance at the prizes, attendees need to bring an unwrapped kids toy to the event and exchange it for a raffle ticket. 

The toys will be used as prizes for the 2012 speedway Kids Night event, slated for July 14.  

Honored at the banquet will be the 2011 track champions: Mike Wagner, Aumiller’s Insurance 410 sprints; Scott Haus, AB Auto Glass late models; Brian Towsey, Miller’s Auto Parts pro stocks; and Jen Powell, Juniata Tire Sales enduros.  Also receiving awards will be the top-10 in the sprint, late model and pro stock divisions along with the top-five in enduros.

Wagner took his second career track title at the oval in a race that came right down to the final event of the season in the 2011 Tuscarora 50.  He took the crown from Ryan Taylor by a scant 15-point margin after finishing inside the top-five in the 50. 

Haus took only one win but came out ahead of Mitch Hack for yet another late model crown.  Towsey was a four-time winner including a victory in the Deryl Stong Memorial.  Jen Powell scored the enduro dash division title.  

 The tentative 2012 Port Royal Speedway season opener is slated for Saturday, March 17 at 6 PM, featuring 410 and 358 sprint cars. 

The first late model show of the year is planned for March 24 along with 410 sprint cars. 

Season reserve seats and passes for 2012 are also currently on sale and can be purchased by writing or calling the speedway office as well.  

The weight rule for the division in recent seasons was 2,200 pounds.

Speedway officials at both ovals see the move as warranted in order to bring the super late model division in line with top late model touring divisions and other tracks in the region that run the division to create parity.

The increase in the late model weight limit is one of a few rules changes being announced by PRS Promotions officials at Port Royal Speedway. 

Port Royal has announced that mufflers will be mandatory for all racing divisions at the track in 2012. 

“It just makes sense for Port Royal to take this step in an effort to foster our relationship with our surrounding communities,” says PRS Promotions leader Steve O’Neal of making the move to mufflers. 

“We want to be good neighbors.”  

The track unveiled revamped pro stock rules in late October aimed at making the class more competitive and affordable.

And now the tweaks to the late model weight along with mandating mufflers complete an annual review of the speedway’s regular division specifications. 

The tentative 2012 Port Royal Speedway season opener is slated for Saturday, March 17 at 6 PM, featuring 410 and 358 sprint cars. 

The first late model show of the year is planned for March 24 along with 410 sprint cars. 

The annual awards banquet is coming up in one month, on Saturday, January 28 at the Port Royal Community Building.  Doors for the event will open at 6 PM.

Tickets are currently available at the speedway office, priced at $30.00 each. 

Season reserve seats and passes are also currently on sale.
