We are thinking about making a trip out to PA for speedweek in 2025. Never been out that way, think have the wife talked into it.
Anyone from out that way have some input on where could stay during the week to be somewhat centrally located between all the tracks? would be travelling by car, not camping.
Pretty sure the schedule isnt out yet for next year, but just thought would ask while thinking about it. Be coming from South Dakota, probably try to hit most of the races while there. Might skip a night or 2 to do some other things in the area, time will tell.
Thanks in advance for any local advice!

The dates will be June 27 thru July 6th, always spans the holiday. Most likely starting at Williams Grove. The Harrisburg area is the most centrally located among the 7 tracks; easy access to WG via route 81. Hagerstown is down 81. And Port Royal is 30 to 40 minutes west. Selinsgrove is 40 minutes north. Lincoln is down route 15.
Not putting Grandview down at all but that is a day and a half to get to that place. Although it's good racing, it's a ways away from everything.
great crowds at every race.

I'd say your best bet is to get rooms on the Carlisle Pike somewhere near Mechanicsburg. There are many options.

Hampton inn 4950 Ritter Rd, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Dont have to stay here but google this address and look for hotels in this general area as it's centrally located to Grove (about 10 minutes away) BAPS (about 20 min) and Lincoln. It'll be a bit out of the way for Grandview and Port but that's okay. It's also close to Route 81 which you will take to Hagerstown.

Yep, plenty of inexpensive motels in Carlisle
Middlesex Road takes you to WG without getting on the Turnpike at all, releaxed drive, not much traffic, pretty scenery
Pretty 45 minute drive to Port Royal, maybe 1/2 hr. to Lincoln & Baps?
