By Frank Buhrman PORT ROYAL, Pa. (May 2, 2026) — Lock Haven’s Jeff Weaver completed a steady climb to the top at Port Royal Speedway Saturday night, earning his first River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature win at “The Speed Palace” against a strong field of 47 RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Cars. Weaver, who has shown speed throughout the season with two heat race wins and a B-Main victory, finally converted that pace into a feature triumph. Starting up front, he led all 20 laps and crossed the line 1.678 seconds ahead of Timmy Bittner of Beech Creek.

He began racing at Port Royal the following year, steadily improving with a 10th-place finish in his second start, a top five the next season, and a third-place run two years ago. Saturday night marked the breakthrough he had been building toward. The closing laps proved challenging as Bittner, a familiar rival [Read More]
