By Frank Buhrman YORK HAVEN, Pa. (May 18, 2025) — It wasn’t an easy climb, but Sunday night at BAPS Motor Speedway, Landon Price reached the top of the mountain again and enjoyed the view. Four years and nine months after he last visited victory lane in a River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature, Price returned Sunday, after an electrifying charge through the field from 11th starting position. That performance also earned the Fleetwood driver the hard charger award.

Within five laps, Price had raced his way into the top five. From there, each pass came quickly as he sliced through the field. He caught leader Dustin Young on lap 17 and, after a brief side-by-side battle, took over the top spot with two laps remaining. He went on to [Read More]
