Tri City Raceway Park
Record Books Rewritten at Tri-City Raceway Park with Sprint Car Sweep!
It was a night for the history books at Tri-City Raceway Park, as three different drivers etching their names into Sprint Car lore with big-time wins across all divisions.
Steven Snyder Jr. Scores First Career 410 Sprint Car Victory in Thrilling Western PA Speedweek Finale at Tri-City!
It was a night to remember at Tri-City Raceway Park as Steven Snyder Jr. pulled off a dramatic last-lap pass to score his first-ever 410 Sprint Car win, and in doing so, etched his name in the history books as the 100th different sprint car winner at the track.
Snyder came out swinging, leading the opening eight laps of the Western PA Sprint Speedweek Finale, but it looked like Jeremy Weaver was going to steal the show. Weaver took over up front and seemed to have the race locked down—until lapped traffic came into play.
Coming off Turn 4 on the final lap, Snyder capitalized on a slight slowdown from Weaver and made his move, sliding past to take the win in thrilling fashion. It was heartbreak for Weaver, who had driven a near-perfect race until that last-second twist.
The only caution of the night came early, on Lap 2, when Brandon Spithaler slowed, but after that, it was all green to the finish.
Brock Hallett rounded out the podium in third, followed by Matt Farnham in fourth and A.J. Flick in fifth. Flick also earned Hard Charger honors, moving up ten spots in a strong drive through the field.
An unforgettable night, a milestone victory, and a fitting end to an action-packed Speedweek! Congratulations to Steven Snyder Jr. on the breakthrough win!
Blaze Myers etched his name into the record books Sunday night at his home track, becoming the all-time winningest driver in The Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprint Car Series history with his seventh career victory—and second of the season.
The 20-lap feature was mostly smooth sailing, with just a single caution slowing the field on lap one after a tangle in turn two collected Arnie Kent, Samantha Pries, John Mollick, and Grayson Bayle. Once the track cleared and the green flag waved again, the action heated up quickly.
Cooper Fritz jumped out front early, leading the first three circuits, but the fans didn’t have to wait long for the showstopper. Starting eighth, Myers found the high side to his liking, methodically slicing through the field. By lap four, he surged into the lead—and never looked back.
From there, it was all Blaze. The young standout put on a masterclass in clean air, controlling the race through the final 16 laps. Gale Ruth Jr. gave chase and settled for second, while Fritz held on for a solid third-place finish. Curt Emings and Zach Morrow rounded out the top five.
After the race, a smiling Myers gave credit where it was due:
"Ted (Hull, car owner) and I work really well together, and the car was perfect on a great race track tonight. It’s always special to win here—this is home."
Jacob Gomola Goes Wire-to-Wire, Becomes All-Time 305 Winner at Tri-City!
It was all Jacob Gomola in the 15-lap Allegheny Touring Sprint 305 Series feature at Tri-City Raceway Park, as he led every single lap from green to checkered—and made a little history in the process.
Starting on the outside of the front row, Gomola wasted no time grabbing the lead going into Turn 1 and never looked back. With the dominant performance, he notched his third career 305 win at Tri-City, making him the all-time feature win leader in the division.
Behind him, the battle for second was one to watch. James Pattock and Vivian Jones went back and forth for several laps before Pattock eventually pulled ahead to secure the runner-up spot. Jones held strong for a solid third-place finish, with Jeremy Kornbaugh and Arnie Kent rounding out the top five.
