PASS going back to the Bullring

PATH VALLEY, Pa. (Sept. 19, 2024) – Two old sayings: “Good things come in small packages” and “It’s anybody’s ballgame.” That just about sums up the River Valley Builders Pennsylvania Sprint Series’ return to action this Saturday night, Sept. 21 at Path Valley Speedway. The mountainside quarter-mile in northern Franklin County, the site of more IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car events than any track in Pennsylvania, has produced more than 80 different winners in 200-plus races since Roger Ficketttook the first checkered flag on Aug. 4, 2000. This season has had only two races so far (plus a rainout), and nobody has finished in the top five in both. However, as many as 10 or more former winners should be in the field on Saturday, including Zach Rhodes and Kruz Kepner, winners of the two features run so far in 2024. Ken Duke can clinch the 2024 River Valley Builders PASS points championship Saturday, with one points-paying race yet to be run, but there are many tight battles elsewhere in the standings, including Rhodes and Kepner fighting for second spot. A strong field is [Read More]
