SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY: A Motorsports Tradition for Generations
Selinsgrove Speedway’s grand motorsports tradition began July 20, 1946, when Bill Holland of Philadelphia won the first race. Since that historic day, Holland went on to win the 1949 Indy 500, and many of motorsports’ most famous drivers have turned laps at the iconic half-mile dirt track designed by legendary Hollywood stuntman and race car driver Joie Chitwood. The speedway, celebrating its momentous 75th anniversary in 2021, will continue its legacy of rip-roaring open wheel and stock car racing this season and for future generations!

JUSTIN GRANT SCORES USAC NATIONAL SPRINT CAR SERIES RETURN TO SELINSGROVE IN CLASSIC WINGLESS DUEL OVER ROBERT BALLOU AND C.J. LEARY BRIGGS DANNER TOPS EAST COAST 360 SPRINT CAR FIELD
In a race that was 50 years in the making, Justin Grant of Ione, Calif., wheeled the NOS Energy Drink No. 4 wingless sprint car to a thrilling victory in Thursday night’s first AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Series race at the track since 1971.
Grant earned $6,000 for the win in the 30-lap main event that was race three of five in the 2021 Eastern Storm Tour. Grant also won Tuesday night’s series race at Grandview Speedway.
The only other USAC National Sprint Car Series race held at Selinsgrove was on July 17, 1971, in which central Pennsylvania star Mitch Smith of Linglestown scored the upset victory over the national series drivers.
Chris Windom of Canton, Ill., set a new one-lap track record for wingless 410 sprint cars with a lap time of 19.506, eclipsing Smith’s 50-year mark of 23.420.
Briggs Danner of Allentown held off Alex Bright of Collegeville for his first career win at the track in the 20-lap USAC East Coast wingless 360 sprint car feature. It was Danner’s fourth win overall in the series this season. Bright was the winner of the May 22 race at Selinsgrove.
Selinsgrove Speedway is back in action at 7:30PM this Saturday, June 19, with the World of Outlaws Late Models Series in the $10,000-to-win Jeff’s Auto Body National Open for super late models. Joining the super late models will be the limited late models in a 20-lap feature. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstand gates at 5 p.m.
Polesitter Kevin Thomas Jr. led the early laps of the sprint car main event with second-place starter C.J. Leary in pursuit. While Thomas was setting a torrid pace in the lead, a multi-car battle unfolded behind him for the runner-up position between Leary, fourth-place starter Justin Grant, and sixth-place starter Chris Windom.
Windom stormed his way into second and put in several bids for the lead, then stole the lead with a slider in turn one on lap 12. At the same time, Grant advanced to second and eighth-place starter Briggs Danner was third.
At the halfway point, Windom led Grant and Danner. Meanwhile, seventh-place starter Robert Ballou became a threat as he raced into third a few laps later.
With seven laps remaining, Grant took the lead from Windom with a pass using the highline in turns three and four. A lap later in the same location, Windom and Ballou made contact resulting in a flat tire for Windom. Danner also entered the pit area with a low tire after making contact with the guardrail.
When the race resumed, it was a war on wheels as Ballou tried multiple sliders to get by Grant to no avail. At the checkered flag, Grant was victorious by three seconds over Ballou, Leary, Thomas Jr., and fifth-place starter Brady Bacon.
At the start of the wingless 360 sprint car main event, Brody Adamsky flipped hard in turn three but was not injured. On the second attempt to start the race, polesitter Joey Amantea powered into the lead and was chased by second-place starter Christian Bruno.
The red flag stopped the race again on lap two when Steve Drevicki tagged the turn four wall and flipped. Drevicki escaped injury. For the next couple of laps Amantea and fourth-place starter Briggs Danner, racing in both divisions, see-sawed for the lead.
On lap three, Danner secured the lead with an inside pass in turn two. By lap seven, fifth-place starter Alex Bright raced into second and set his sights on Danner. With seven laps remaining, Bright was quickly gaining on Danner but with four to go scraped the turn two wall and lost ground on the leader.
Bright made a last-ditch effort to catch Danner for the lead and win but fell short by just 1.72 seconds. Danner was victorious over Bright, Bruno, Amantea, and Ed Aikin.
