Cavalet Conquers Intense Selinsgrove Battle

By Stephanie Dodson SELINSGROVE, Pa. (June 12, 2026) — A car doesn’t need fancy graphics to be fast, and Jarrett Cavalet proved that point Friday night by driving an unlettered RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car to victory in River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series action at Selinsgrove Speedway. The Hollidaysburg driver arrived at the track after spending the week rebuilding his car following a crash while battling for the lead the previous Friday. Cavalet showed speed from the outset, leading every lap of his heat race from the pole position. In the feature, however, he had work to do after starting fourth.

On lap 11, Cavalet used momentum from the outside groove to drive around Spicer in turns one and two. Once out front, Cavalet faced continued pressure as Spicer refused to let him pull away.
