5. I doubt Rahmer will be at all the races, so I'll say it'll be Wolfe?? someone who runs the whole week.

Ya, I'm not sure who all will run the 10, maybe another invader?? Reinhardt?? Not sure, it'll be fun just seeing who shows each race, but those top 4 and Rahmer at Lilncoln and Dewease whereever he goes should be the favorites?? Larson at the 4 he goes to. Wagners at Port, Halligan good runs at Port and a couple more???  will be good 10 days. 

It'll help especially the tracks that get 36-42 cars. 

Looking forward to a great Pa. Speedweek. Hopefully the weather stays great and it is a safe 10 days for everyone involved in making the sport of Sprint Car racing as awesome as it is ! A huge Thank You to all the Drivers, crews, sponsors,track employees , push truck drivers, photographers, Emergency crews the Fans , the families off all and everyone else involved ! On a side note, does anyone know of the confirmed dates that Kyle Larson will be displaying his talents?  TIA

Ryan Smith

i believe ryan is running the whole speedweek schedule.  he's had a quiet year so far but typically time trials well and keeps himself out of trouble.  

i like marks a little more than macri right now.  it could be a really good battle though.  macri has proven he can run well at lincoln and some of the smaller tracks.  hopefully dd can keep up the momentum from ohio speedweek.  he seems to run a little better out there than he does here and kept up the good finishes throughout the week.  there are a few teams at or close to the top of their games which should make things pretty interesting.

Speedweek contenders

1. Marks/Macri - Both are at the top of there game.

2. Dietrich/Peck - Only a very small step behind.

3. After that it depends who runs the whole week.

4. One of the 4 above will be your speedweek champ.  

But if you are going to ask me in what order the top 5 will be.

1. Macri

2. Marks

3. Peck

4. Dietrich.

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Rico - 9 wins
Donny - 0 wins That is right the big fat zero!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

Runs better out there?  He was 2nd in Ohio speedweek last year but won PA speedweek last year.  You are saying 2nd in ohio speedweek is tougher than 1st in PA speedweek which there is merit to that. 

Pretty good picks, seems consnsous on the the top 4, just the order different for most so far.   I didn't put Macri 1st only because I think he is most likely for a couple DNFs.  He could win the most of the 10 races but still get 3/4 in points with a couple 20-24th places between wall bites or not knowing cars are next to him etc....   Gonna be good week. Doubt they will get the counts Ohio did (40.4 per race), and definately won't get the number going to all the shows Ohio did (17) but will be good for PA for sure. 

You could say that about any one of these 4.  They all could have at least one DNF.  It is very difficult to stay on top of your game for 10 straight days.

1. Macri - When in PA, he is the fastest car. The driver to beat.

2. Marks - Is pretty fast no matter where he races.  He seems to do a little better outside of PA right now.  

3. Peck - Pretty fast no matter where he goes.

4. Dietrich - Fast during the feature.  He needs to TT good all the time though.

Sleeper alert... Ryan Timms

I'm picking Macri, clearly the up & coming Posse driver

Closely followed by Marks, DD, & Peck, in no particular order

Dewease & Larson when they show up!

& thanks for Larson info..... I'm thinking about Monday & Tuesday, short tracks, smaller crowds....

I'd love to see Macri beat Larson in a barn burner duel! :)

Macri has given Larson some good runs when he was less experienced than he is now. Larson has put guys in positions where they have to lift or get wrecked. He will have to keep in mind that Macri doesn't lift to allow someone to pass him. It is sort of like On Sat. Night of the Weikert race and they had the caution four laps to go with Dewease leading. I said to guy next to me,"this where Macri will do what Bob Weikert always wanted his drivers to do, win it or wreck trying". That night he won it but can do either.

i forget he won speedweek last year so we're probably splitting hairs.  ultimately he runs well in both places.

but...he won twice in ohio this year and has a win each of the last 2 years if i'm seeing the web site right.  i think it's cool he can show up at places he doesn't run regularly and win...so it sticks in my brain.  it's against the all stars no less.  he didn't have any wins during pa speedweek last year.  

i also forgot to mention his 2nd place run at the king's royal.  amazing stuff.

11 of the 17 were allstars. If Pa Speedweek was all star sanctioned, car counts most likely would be well into the 40's.

Correct but it's not so it will be in 30s on average, very good for sure. Peck and Reinhardt will be at most the shows I'm sure so that'll be 2 of em.  Ppm, shurenbutg are in husets.  Courtney, wise and eliason in California.  Not sure balog short  cap and windom will go if anywhere  No argument here 

We don't need PA Speedweeks to be All Star sanctioned.  Leave it alone and let the local racers get most of the money for speedweeks.  If someone wants to come in and run the series, that is great!  The more true outlaws the better.  However, we don't need speedweeks to be sanctoned.

If Borden can time better he will be a dactor up until Port he reallt struggles there.

If Peck is allowed to run the non All Star tracks it will be a good battel berween the 19,48,39,13,and the next groupe 5w,27 51/8 and anyone else that tries to run them all.

Last tear a great group rab them all this year it looks like four or five.

If he does not crash it will be Marks he is good everyehere.

There are only a few drivers that are really good a Port that race there sometimes and or weekly.

1. Anthony Macri - Is the best by far at Port.

2. Lance DeWease - Is not far behind only every once in a while visitor.

3. Brent Marks - Races there every once in a while,  Is pretty good most of the time.

4. Logan Wagner - Ok most of the time.  He should change his name to "One Track"

5. Justin Peck - Pretty good, just doesn't race there a lot.

6. Jeff Halligan - Is getting better.

7. Kyle Larson - Doesn't matter what track he races at - he is always a threat.

8. Danny Dietrich - But everything has to be perfect.

Those are the fastest guys at Port Royal.  You have to have a special setup in order to be good there and only a few have figured it out.

Peck raced all of speedweek last year.
