All Stars Are PA Bound

BROWNSBURG, Ind. — After a two-race stint through Michigan and Ohio, the FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 is set to visit four Pennsylvania tracks in four days.

First on the slate is a stop Thursday at the Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville. If four races was not enough for Pennsylvania’s beloved open wheel enthusiasts, a total of five features will be contested across the Keystone state as Williams Grove Speedway will host a pair of 20-lappers on Friday. A total winner’s share equaling $26,300 will be awarded over the four-day showcase, highlighted with Saturday’s $7,300-to-win Kramer Klash at Lincoln Speedway.

Action will kick-off on Thursday with the only All Stars appearance at Grandview Speedway with a Thunder on the Hill program that awards a $6,000 payday. Danny Dietrich is the defending All Star winner at the Grandview speed plant, outdueling Christopher Bell and Freddie Rahmer.

Dubbed the Jack Gunn Memorial, Williams Grove Speedway is set for Aug. 27 with a pair of 20-lap contests awarding $4,000 each. The 2020 edition was initially postponed to Sept. 18. Three-time All Star champion and Texas native Aaron Reutzel scored the $5,000 share.

Honoring the late National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Kramer Williamson, Lincoln Speedway’s Kramer Klash will take place Aug. 28. The $7,300-to-win program will give All Star travelers the first taste of Lincoln Speedway this season, also acting as a prime test session for the coming $20,000-to-win Dirt Classic on Sept. 18.

The All Star versus Pennsylvania Posse four-race sweep will come to a close on Aug. 29 at BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven. The Johnny Mackison Clash, the only time the series will race at BAPS this season, will award a $5,000 top prize.

Tyler Courtney will lead the All Star brigade into Pennsylvania Posse Country. The Indianapolis native is a seven-time winner on the tour this season, and currently leads the All Star driver championship chase over Rudeen Racing’s Cory Eliason and Hunter Schuerenberg. Courtney’s most recent triumph occurred at Missouri State Fair Speedway on July 29, outracing the Kerry Madsen and Ayrton Gennetten for $10,000.

Cap Henry is currently fourth in the driver chase, followed by Zeb Wise, 10-time IRA champion Bill Balog, Paul McMahan, Justin Peck and Kyle Reinhardt.
