PA Posse 410 Sprint Series

2026 Schedule
A series Website is in the works

Following yesterday’s landmark announcement of the new Central PA 410 Sprint Car Series, officials have released additional details outlining the complete 2026 schedule, points system, race format, and season-ending payout structure. The series—created through unprecedented collaboration among the region’s top tracks—aims to deliver the most unified and competitive 410 sprint car platform ever assembled in the Keystone State.

The inaugural season will feature 47 races at 11 different tracks, showcasing the depth and tradition of Central Pennsylvania sprint car racing. The schedule blends weekly staples with marquee events, creating a competitive schedule of non-sanctioned races across the region. Winners are guaranteed at least $6,000 at every event and the features are a minimum of $600 to take the green; several events will push well beyond that mark.

These 47 series events represent exclusive 410 sprint car dates at each participating track and are in addition to every track’s individual schedule.

2026 CENTRAL PA 410 SPRINT CAR SERIES SCHEDULE

The majority of Central PA 410 Sprint Car Series events will utilize time trials to set heat race lineups. Select races—such as Opening Day programs or daytime shows—may instead use a draw/redraw format or timed hot laps to determine heat race lineups. This flexibility ensures each event operates efficiently under varying track and weather conditions while maintaining competitive balance across the series.

All series events will operate under each track’s established rulebook, ensuring consistency and fairness at every venue.

To reward both performance and consistency, officials have established a detailed points structure for every series event. The feature winner receives 70 points, second place is awarded 65 points, and third place earns 62 points, with the points awarded decreasing by two points each position through 24th place. Each non-qualifier receives 10 points towards their series point total.

POINTS STRUCTURE
1. 70; 2. 65; 3. 62; 4. 60; 5. 58; 6. 56; 7. 54; 8. 52; 9. 50; 10. 48; 11. 46; 12. 44; 13. 42; 14. 40; 15. 38; 16. 36; 17. 34; 18. 32; 19. 30; 20. 28; 21. 26; 22. 24; 23. 22; 24. 20

Drivers and teams following the series will compete for one of the most significant point funds in Pennsylvania sprint car history. An impressive season-ending purse will be awarded to the top 15 teams in the standings. The PA Speedweek points fund will remain a separate and fully independent payout.

Each competitor will have three strategic ‘throw-aways,’ allowing them to drop missed shows or their least-successful finishes—keeping the championship battle alive all season long.

SEASON-ENDING PAYOUT

01 $50,000 - 08 $7,500
02 $25,000 - 09 $7,000
03 $15,000 - 10 $6,000
04 $12,000 - 11 $5,000
05 $10,000 - 12 $4,000
06 $9,000 - 13 $3,500

Series officials will release further details on partners, marketing initiatives, and streaming coverage in the coming weeks as excitement continues to build across the region.

The Central PA 410 Sprint Car Series is a collaborative effort among leading Pennsylvania tracks to create a unified, competitive, and sustainable 410 sprint car schedule. With 47 races at 11 facilities, a standardized format, and a substantial point fund, the series aims to strengthen the sport throughout the region while honoring its rich heritage.

Participating Tracks:
BAPS Motor Speedway, Hagerstown Speedway, Grandview Speedway Inc., Lincoln Speedway, Bridgeport Speedway, Bedford Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, Clinton County Speedway, Port Royal Speedway Trackside Media, Selinsgrove Speedway & Raceway Park, & Path Valley Speedway

Looks like Grandview is getting screwed

A shame... I like that track. Seem pretty competitive usually, & a bit shorter drive for me

I doubt that Grandview is getting screwed.   The track doesn't promote any midweek shows, they are promoted by Bob Miller in a partnership with the track under the Thunder on the Hill name.  They have reduced the number of shows under that banner over the last few years (As Miller had some controversy surrounding him a few years ago, and he's getting older), but I'm sure TOTH will still include USAC Eastern Storm and the High Limit race, and maybe one or two others.

They still have their PA Speedweek date, which is a TOTH show.

Looking at this PA Posse series schedule, aside from the Speedweek, everything is on the weekend.   That would make sense as they are trying to get more of the local teams to follow the whole thing.   Grandview does not often preempt it's regular divisions of 358 Mods and Sportsman, nor should they.  They get the biggest car count of any track running those cars on a weekly basis, and possibly have the best weekly crowd in the region.  If I remember correctly, their two weekly divisions averaged almost 90 cars combined in 2025.  TBH, they don't need more Sprint Car races to succeed, and it keeps the couple they have oin the schedule as rare shows that end up being huge draws.

A+ post. This is spot on.

Grandview has already come out with the dates for their major races for next year. It is the same as it was -- a High Limit date, a USAC date and PA Speedweek.

OK, makes sense

This looks lie a good deal for PA and PA teams. Good on the people that worked to put this together. How will this affect the car counts at WoO and H-L races outside of PA?

Only a few teams run races outside the state. If you look at the scedule they avoided the major events.

I'm not seeing where it says they have to race every race (like Hi-Limit). So, I presume the guy that has the 15th highest point total gets paid for 15th. Are you seeing something different?

True, but it looks like an effort was made to keep the Anthony Macris closer to home.

For what it's worth, two of the races are during the Knoxville Nationals.

I see that now. I thought Knoxville was the week before that. I can't find right now but I think I saw when I read point structure (which I can't find now) that teams would all throw out their three lowest point nights.

OK, so I guess its to reward the "low bucks" teams that don't make the trek to Iowa

Thats fine with me

Maybe so, those two conflicting races are at Selinsgrove and Clinton County.

What conflicting races?

2 different days

Conflicting with the Knoxville Nationals on August 14th & 15th. 

You are correct.

Gotcha, thanks

I'm a west coast guy that loves watching PA tracks. Heading out to see one of these shows live isn't in the cards for me. Making it worse I might be living in China again soon. I have to ask. On Flo or DV? Perhaps both depending on which track has a deal with which streaming service?

Port Royal races are on Flo, Lincoln used to be on Flo but are starting their own streaming channel for 2026. Williams Grove is on Dirtvison, while BAPS's 410 races are streamed on Sprint Car Unlimited TV. Not sure if Selinsgrove has a streaming deal for 2026 for their 410 races in 2026. Hope this helps.
