Bridgeport Motorsports Park

SWEDESBORO, NJ – October 10, 2026 – When the money is on the line and the pressure reaches its boiling point, Joe Toth knows exactly how to deliver!

In a breathtaking, wheel-to-wheel battle that featured multiple lead changes, heavy lapped traffic, and a dramatic late-race showdown, Joe Toth stormed to his second consecutive Harry’s U-Pull-It Sportsman Grand Nationals victory Saturday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park!

Behind the wheel of a Hirthler Racing-prepared machine, Toth battled tooth and nail with Matt Peck before making the winning move with just four laps remaining in the 60-lap spectacular. The victory earned Toth a hefty $7,000 payday plus four Integra Racing Shocks (total $8200), while adding another prestigious Grand Nationals championship to his racing résumé.

A tremendous field of 42 Demers Heating & Cooling Sportsman Modifieds invaded the Kingdom of Speed, all chasing the glory and big money that awaited the winner of one of the division’s most anticipated events of the season. When it was all said and done, it was Toth standing in Victory Lane once again!

Friday night’s feature winner, Jimmy Wyers, appeared determined to make it a clean sweep of the weekend. After winning the six-lap Dash that established the first nine starting positions, Wyers brought the field to starter Kevin Golden’s green flag with Matt Peck alongside. Wyers immediately flexed his muscle, grabbing the early advantage and setting a blistering pace around Bridgeport’s high banks.

Behind him, Peck, Travis Hill, Kris Lilick, and Ryan Simmons battled for position as the field thundered through the opening laps. On lap nine, Peck powered past Wyers to take command. Wyers refused to surrender, fighting back to reclaim the top spot on lap 14. Just two laps later, another contender fell by the wayside when Ryan Simmons exited the event while running third.

Wyers continued to set the pace, but Peck was far from finished. On lap 28, Peck charged back into the lead, bringing the field to the halfway point collecting the $1000 award presented by Design for Vision & Sunglass Central with Wyers, Toth, Jesse Hirthler, and Travis Hill giving chase and that’s when things really started getting interesting!

As the leaders encountered heavy lapped traffic, Toth began making his presence known. On lap 31, Toth sliced past Wyers to take over second, setting his sights squarely on Peck and the $7,000 prize.  With the race running caution-free through lap 48, Peck continued to lead, but Toth was lurking, waiting for his opportunity to strike. When the caution finally appeared, it set the stage for a sensational sprint to the finish.

Peck brought the field back to green with Toth, Wyers, Hill, and Hirthler all within striking distance. On lap 50, Toth made his move! The defending Grand Nationals champion powered into the lead, bringing the Bridgeport crowd to its feet as the laps began winding down but the drama was far from over!

A final caution on lap 53 erased Toth’s advantage and gave Peck one more opportunity to steal the victory and Peck took full advantage!

On the restart, Peck blasted back into the lead, seemingly turning the tables on Toth with only a handful of laps remaining. For Toth, however, second place simply wasn’t an option.

With the laps disappearing and the big money hanging in the balance, Toth dug deep and mounted one final charge. Coming down the homestretch to complete lap 56, Toth powered past Peck to reclaim the lead! This time, there would be no looking back!

Toth held his advantage through the final four circuits, charging beneath the checkered flag to capture his second straight Harry’s U-Pull-It Sportsman Grand Nationals championship!

Peck’s tremendous effort earned him the runner-up position, while Jesse Hirthler completed an outstanding evening for Hirthler Racing with a third-place finish.

Friday night’s winner, Jimmy Wyers, settled for fourth, with Travis Hill completing the top five. Ethan Bill, Brandon Watkins, Steve Kemery, Jared Labagh, and Christopher Buffalino rounded out the top ten. Steve Kemmery would collect the $500 Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Hard Charger Award.

For Toth and the entire Hirthler Racing organization, Saturday night’s victory represented much more than another trophy. It was the reward for countless hours of preparation, teamwork, and dedication. “It definitely was a hard fought race,” Toth said following the intense battle. “Kevin and Jesse and the Hirthler family put in the work to give Jesse and I a shot at the big money.” and what a night it was for the Hirthler organization!

With Toth standing in Victory Lane and Jesse Hirthler joining him on the podium in third, the team celebrated a remarkable first-and-third-place performance against one of the strongest Sportsman fields assembled at Bridgeport this season.

“My dad and I do all the work in the shop to prepare the cars,” Hirthler explained. “So putting both cars on the podium is something to be proud of.” The Toth crew was also on hand to support the winning effort.

Both drivers expressed their appreciation to Frank Cozze, Harry’s U-Pull-It, Doug Rose, and event supporters Jones Racing Products, Bert Transmissions, and Integra Racing Shocks for helping make the Grand Nationals such a special event.

For Toth, the evening ended with $7,000, four Integra Shocks, and perhaps most importantly, the satisfaction of proving once again that when it comes to the Sportsman Grand Nationals, he is the man to beat!

While the Sportsman Grand Nationals delivered a dramatic battle for the lead, J.R. Fulper had an entirely different plan in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprint Car feature. Get out front and never look back and that’s exactly what he did!

Returning to Bridgeport for the 40-lap, $1,000-to-win showdown, Fulper took full advantage of his pole starting position, immediately jumping into the lead when the green flag waved.

From there, Fulper put on a commanding performance, setting the pace around the Kingdom of Speed’s high banks.

The race featured just one caution when David Swanson slowed along the backstretch, briefly bringing the field back together. But even a restart couldn’t slow Fulper’s charge!  When racing resumed, Fulper once again asserted his dominance, maintaining control of the top spot all the way to the checkered flag.

Forty laps. One leader. One thousand dollars! Fulper’s impressive performance earned him the victory over Jonathan Swanson, with Shea Wills charging home third. Rich Mellor finished fourth, followed by Greg Shepsis in fifth.

The victory was especially satisfying for Fulper, who had come close to scoring a USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Car victory just a few weeks earlier. This time, there would be no near miss. Fulper came to Bridgeport looking for a win and left with the money!

The Four Cylinder competitors also took their turn on the high banks, and Dale Mull made sure there would be no doubt about who had the car to beat! Mull grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag and never surrendered the position throughout the 15-lap feature.

With a strong performance from start to finish, Mull powered his way to the checkered flag to add another victory to his 2026 racing campaign. Jim Backowski crossed the line second, followed by John Parker in third. Joe Garey Jr. finished fourth, while Bri Stein completed the top five.

Another memorable night at the Kingdom of Speed with 42 Sportsman competitors battling for Grand Nationals glory, a thrilling late-race duel for $7,000, and impressive performances from the Wingless Sprint Cars and Four Cylinders, Saturday night’s program delivered another unforgettable chapter in Bridgeport Motorsports Park history.

For the fans who packed the grandstands, it was another reminder of what makes dirt track racing so special. The thunder of the engines. The side-by-side battles. The unexpected twists. And the incredible excitement of watching the outcome decided in the final laps.

For Joe Toth, it was another night of triumph. For Matt Peck, it was a heartbreaking near miss and for everyone who witnessed the action, it was exactly what they came to see!

At the Kingdom of Speed, the racing is never over until the checkered flag waves!

SWEDESBORO, NJ — Danny Serrano Weekend presented by Brig Spring Car Wash and Izzi Trucking & Rigging roared to life at Bridgeport Motorsports Park with a packed night of racing that saw Eddie Wagner, P.J. Bozowski and Jasen Geesaman race their way into Victory Lane, while the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds turned up the intensity with three timed sessions that locked three drivers into Saturday’s Danny Serrano Memorial.

Wagner scored his second DCB’s Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series victory of the season at Bridgeport, holding off newly crowned 2026 MASS Champion Troy Betts in a hard-fought 25-lap main event.

Bozowski captured the Demers Heating & Cooling Underdog 20 presented by Norcia Corporation, earning his first win with a smart and patient drive through traffic.

Geesaman made his first Bridgeport appearance of the season count in a big way, charging to victory in the 20-lap Straight Up Construction Street Stock feature.

Dan Stein Jr. completed the Night #1 winners by taking the Insta Signs Plus Four Cylinder feature in a non-stop 20-lap affair.

David Hunt, Dominick Buffalino, and Richie Pratt Jr. all set fast times in the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified’s

Wagner and Kyle Spence brought the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series field to the green with Wagner immediately taking command over Spence, Ryan Stillwaggon and D.J. Tanner.

Stillwaggon made an early exit while Tanner began to pressure Spence for second, but Betts was coming and coming fast.

Starting sixth, the 2026 MASS Champion wasted little time slicing his way toward the front. Betts moved past Spence and Tanner and was already into the runner-up position by lap three. From there, it was Wagner versus Betts.

Wagner continued to set the pace with Betts applying pressure throughout the 25-lap event. Behind the leaders, Tanner, Tim Iulg and Dave Brown battled inside the top five as Wagner dealt with restarts, changing track conditions and eventually heavy lapped traffic.

Despite everything Betts threw at him, Wagner never surrendered the top spot and raced under the checkered flag for his second Bridgeport MASS victory of the season.

“I didn’t feel like it was an easy win,” Wagner said. “I had multiple restarts with Troy trying to slide me.” The wind created another challenge for the leader, and Wagner had his hands full as the leaders encountered traffic late in the race. “Lapped traffic was heavy at the end of the race,” Wagner added.

Wagner took the win over Betts, with Brown racing home third. Tanner and Iulg completed the top five. Spence finished sixth followed by Ryan Schultz, Rick Lafferty, Shelby Kelly and Michael Shea.

Hunter Ploski and Duncan Molesworth led the field to green in the Demers Heating & Cooling Underdog 20 presented by Norcia Corporation. Ploski jumped into the early lead, but Bozowski was immediately on the attack from his third starting position.

Bozowski first challenged Molesworth for second before setting his sights on Ploski. As the field completed lap five, Bozowski made his move and powered into the lead. After a rough opening portion of the event, the race went green for good following the final caution on lap seven, from there, Bozowski took control.

Bozowski opened a comfortable advantage over Molesworth and carefully negotiated lapped traffic on his way to a memorable first victory. “I just needed to be smart and stay calm,” Bozowski explained.

That patience has been a major part of Bozowski’s sophomore season. After avoiding the second-year struggles that often challenge young racers, consistent top-five and top-ten finishes carried him to third in the championship standings behind Jesse Hirthler and Matt Ellery.

On Danny Serrano Weekend, that consistency finally turned into a trip to Victory Lane.

While Bozowski was too young to have personally known Serrano, he understood what Danny meant to his family and so many throughout the Bridgeport racing community.

“Winning during his weekend felt very special, and I’m glad I could win it,” Bozowski said.

Molesworth finished second, followed by Brandon Watkins, Pete Serra and Tim Borror. George Gaeris, Tom Carpenter, Melissa Scarpati, Drew Zeigler and Scott Hulmes completed the top ten.

Twenty-two Street Stocks filled the pits for Night #1, and when the green flag waved, Mike Baldwin and Scott Freed led the Straight Up Construction Street Stock field into battle.

Baldwin grabbed the early advantage over Geesaman and Gary Bozowski, but Geesaman wasn’t about to wait around.

On lap four, Geesaman raced into the lead and he never looked back. Making his first Bridgeport start of the season, Geesaman took command and carried it all the way to the checkered flag for an impressive victory.

Mike Hughes Jr. returned to his racing roots and delivered a strong runner-up finish. Baldwin crossed the line third, with Gary Bozowski fourth and Jeramy Doerr fifth. Mike Walsh, Jimmy Combs, Mike Berkheiser, Darren Cox and Spider Ensinger Sr. rounded out the top ten.

John Parker grabbed the early lead in the Insta Signs Plus Four Cylinder feature and paced the opening four circuits before the Birthday boy, Dan Stein Jr. made his move. Once Stein took command, there was no catching him.

The feature went the entire 20-lap distance without a caution, with Stein leading the remaining laps to capture his second Four Cylinder victory on his birthday. Dale Mull finished second with Parker third, Logan Mull fourth and Joe Garey Sr. completing the top five.

The Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds added another layer of excitement to Night #1 with three timed hot-lap sessions, with the fastest driver in each session earning a guaranteed starting position in Saturday’s Danny Serrano Memorial.

Making his first start of the season, David Hunt came out swinging and set fast time in the opening session. Dominick Buffalino topped the charts in session two. Then Richie Pratt Jr. laid down the quickest lap in the third and final session.

Night #1 delivered the action, unfortunately night #2 succumbed to the Nor’easter that plagued the northeast over the weekend. With no open dates until mid November, the remainder of the Danny Serrano Weekend presented by Brig Spring Car Wash and Izzi Trucking & Rigging has been canceled for 2026.

SWEDESBORO, NJ — Championships were decided, a family celebrated a pair of titles, and a sure victory disappeared with just two laps remaining during an action-packed Saturday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park!

When the final checkered flags flew, Jesse Hirthler, Scott Freed, Joe Garey Sr. and Joe Garey Jr. had championship hardware to celebrate, while Kris Lilick, Mike Baldwin, Dale Mull and Steve Drevicki added their names to the night’s list of feature winners.

Drevicki steals a thriller with two to go. The USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars delivered another wild one on Bridgeport’s high banks and this one wasn’t decided until the final laps!

Kenny Miller III drew the pole and set the pace through the halfway mark, but disaster struck when Miller got up over the cushion and made hard contact with the wall, ending his bid for victory.

That handed the lead to JR Fulper, who looked right at home at Bridgeport. Fulper, a recent addition to the USAC East Coast ranks, used his Bridgeport experience from competing in both Modifieds and Wingless Sprints to his advantage. He ripped the high side in the No. 67 and appeared headed for a huge victory.

Then, with just two laps remaining, everything changed. Fulper’s No. 67 appeared to be running out of fuel. He dropped to the inside and Steve Drevicki was there to pounce!

Drevicki swept into the lead and raced away with his second consecutive Bridgeport victory, adding another dramatic chapter to the USAC East Coast championship fight.

Chris Allen Jr. finished second, followed by Kyle Spence, Christian Bruno and Ron Helmick. Joe Kata finished sixth, while a disappointed Fulper was still able to salvage seventh. Jared Kreider, Ed Aiken and Bruce Buckwalter Jr. completed the top ten.

Drevicki’s victory could prove huge. With just one race remaining, Drevicki leads Christian Bruno by only 19 points in the USAC East Coast championship chase. The championship will be decided right back at Bridgeport in October!

After coming up one position short of the championship last season, Jesse Hirthler took care of unfinished business in 2026, capturing the Demers Heating & Cooling 602 Sportsman Championship.

Hirthler put together a tremendous season that included three trips to Victory Lane and, this time around, there was nobody ahead of him when the championship points were totaled.

While Hirthler celebrated the title, Kris Lilick authored one of the feel-good stories of the night. After being away from competition, Lilick returned to Sportsman racing approximately six weeks ago. Lilick and his family had spent much of those years heavily involved in quarter midget racing, but with the kids now busy with other activities, Lilick found his way back behind the wheel.

On Saturday night, Lilick and his wife, Katelyn, came to Bridgeport on their own to take on the Sportsman field and they left as winners! Lilick grabbed the lead and never gave it up completing his remarkable return to Victory Lane. Charley Coosaboone finished second, followed by Matt Ellery, Wayne Weaver and Ronnie Solomon III. Ryan Simmons crossed the line sixth after starting 25^th on the field with Pete Serra, PJ Bozowski, Walter McIntyre and Billy Chester completing the top ten.

Just four points, makes a huge difference! In his first season of competition at Bridgeport, Scott Freed captured the Straight Up Construction Street Stock Championship, and he needed every point he could get. Freed edged former champion Nick Sandone III by just FOUR POINTS to claim his first Bridgeport championship!

While Freed celebrated the season-long prize, Mike Baldwin was untouchable in the feature event. Baldwin took command at the drop of the green and held off heavy challenged throughout the race from Mike Walsh and Gary Klimeczak on his way to the Street Stock victory.

Mike Walsh won the battle for second over Gary Klimeczak, while Spider Ensinger Jr. finished fourth ahead of Sandone. Newly crowned champion Freed finished sixth, followed by Jeramy Doerr, Shane Grosso, Spider Ensinger Sr. and Darren Cox.

The Insta Signs Four Cylinder championship battle turned into a family celebration as the Gareys claimed titles on both Bridgeport tracks!

Joe Garey Sr. captured the championship on the 4/10-mile high banks, while Joe Garey Jr. earned the championship on the 1/4 Maile at Bridgeport. Father and son, two tracks and two Bridgeport championships!

But when it came time to settle Saturday night’s feature, Dale Mull had other plans.

Mull outran both newly crowned champions to capture the Four Cylinder victory, with Joe Garey Jr. finishing second and Joe Garey Sr. taking third. Kelly Fleming finished fourth with Jogn Parker completing the top five.

SWEDESBORO, NJ — The wings come off, the gloves come off, and championships are on the line this Saturday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park!

Get ready for a night of rip-roarin’, wheel-to-wheel, slide-job action as the USAC Wingless Sprint Cars return to the High Banks of the Kingdom of Speed!

With no wings and no shortage of horsepower, the USAC Sprint Cars will attack Bridgeport’s High Banks in a spectacular fashion. When these hot rods come to Bridgeport, there’s nowhere to hide,  as fans expect plenty of sliders, crossovers and edge-of-your-seat action!

But the USAC Sprint Cars are only part of a huge Saturday night program, because CHAMPIONSHIPS WILL BE DECIDED!

In the Demers Heating & Cooling Sportsman Modifieds, Jesse Hirthler enters Championship Night with a commanding advantage at the top of the standings.

Behind him, however, it’s a completely different story. Matt Ellery, PJ Bozowski and Matt Peck are locked in a tight three-driver battle for second place in the final championship standings. With one night remaining, every position and every point could make the difference! Who will secure that second place spot?

If you want championship drama, look no further than the Straight Up Construction Street Stocks! Scott Freed enters the finale holding a razor-thin six-point advantage over Nick Sandone III, while Mike Baldwin remains very much in the fight, sitting just 24 points out of the championship lead and 18 points behind Sandone for second.

One race. Three drivers. And a championship waiting at the finish line. Who will leave Bridgeport as the 2026 Straight Up Construction Street Stock Champion?

The championship fight continues in the Four Cylinder Stock Car division, where Joe Garey Sr. brings a 34-point advantage into Saturday night’s finale.

Chasing him is Dale Mull, a three-time feature winner this season who will be looking to close the gap when it matters most.

With the championship on the line, expect these drivers to leave nothing on the table!

The Vintage Modifieds will also be part of Saturday night’s action, rounding out a loaded night of racing at the Kingdom of Speed.

AND THEN… THE BIG SHOWS BEGIN! Championship Night is just the beginning. One week later, Bridgeport kicks off the first of its BIG SHOWS with the Danny Serrano Weekend!

The Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds take center stage for a massive 60-LAP showdown paying $7,000 TO WIN and the Demers Heating & Cooling Sportsman Modifieds will have plenty on the line as well, battling for 35 laps and a $2,000 winner’s payday.

The fall racing season is heating up, the money is getting bigger, and the stakes are getting higher.

It all starts this Saturday Night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, the Kingdom of Speed! Come early, bring the family, grab your seat and get ready for a Saturday night of high-speed championship racing at Bridgeport!

SWEDESBORO, NJ — Championship celebrations and a first-time winner of the season highlighted another action-packed Saturday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, as Ryan Godown and Jonathan Swanson were officially crowned 2026 champions, while Coleby Frye stormed to his first Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified victory of the season.

Godown wrapped up the 2026 Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified Championship, adding another title to an already impressive Bridgeport résumé. The championship marks Godown’s third Bridgeport Motorsports Park title.

Jonathan Swanson also had reason to celebrate as he clinched the 2026 Victory Fuel Wingless Sprint Championship, completing a championship campaign in one of Bridgeport’s most competitive divisions.

While Godown and Swanson have secured their places atop the 2026 standings, the championship battles aren’t finished yet. The remaining Saturday night division championships will be decided during next week’s program, setting the stage for another big night at the Kingdom of Speed.

Coleby Frye saved one of his best performances of the season for championship night.

Frye, who had the best three point average going into Saturday was relegated to the eleventh place starting position for the feature event. That proved to be no problem. Frye navigated his way towards the front of the 30-lap Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified feature before taking the lead away from newly crowned champion Ryan Godown.

Getting to the front turned out to be half the battle. Brian Papiez raced past Godown for second and immediately set his sights on Frye. A late race caution set up an epic dual between Frye and Papiez. Frye chose the outside, leaving the lane wide open for a Papiez slider past the F1 of Frye. Frye fought back to the lead only to have another thrown at him in turn 3. Papiez again could not retain the number one position, while throwing another at Frye in turn one. This time Frye was able to pull enough in front to hold off the number 37 bombs. Frye held his ground and raced under the checkered flag for his first Bridgeport Modified victory of the 2026 season.

Papiez turned in his strongest performance of the year, earning a season-best runner-up finish for the Adams No. 37 team. Godown capped off his championship night with a third-place finish, while Dillon Steuer turned in one of the drives of the night.

Steuer was caught up in an early-race incident and was forced to pit for a tire change. Sent to the rear of the field, Steuer charged all the way back through the pack to finish an impressive fourth. Sammy Martz Jr. also came from the rear and completed the top five.

Dominick Buffalino finished sixth aboard the Big Spring Car Wash No. 126, followed by Mike Franz, Billy Osmun III, Matt Peck and Anthony Tramontana to complete the top ten.

Smith wins the Battle, Swanson wins the war! The Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints produced another strong performance from Nathan Smith, who raced to his third A-Main victory of the season.

Stan Ploski III led most of the 20 lap Wingless sprint Car feature only to get caught up with a lapped car, sending the number 27 into the fence. Smith would take over the top spot and led newly crowned 2026 champion Jonathan Swanson to the checkered flag, with Swanson finishing second on the night while celebrating the bigger prize,  the season championship.

Wayne Scott crossed the line third, followed by Rich Mellor and Shea Wills to round out the top five.

Matt Peck pulls double duty and takes home the win after finishing ninth in the Modified feature, Matt Peck wasn’t finished yet. Peck climbed behind the wheel for the Demers Heating & Cooling Sportsman feature and charged from his eighth-place starting position to capture his second Sportsman victory of the 2026 season aboard the Danny Sommerling-owned No. 51.

Peck raced to the checkered flag ahead of Ryan Simmons (started twelfth), while Matt Ellery, Jimmy Wyers and Jordan Henn completed the top five. Tim Borror finished sixth, followed by Billy Chester, who was behind the wheel of the Rogers No. 191. Duncan Molesworth, Wayne Weaver and Ethan Young completed the top ten.

Hunter Ploski back to victory lane capturing the victory in the second Sportsman feature of the evening.  Ploski took the win over Ethan Bill, with Aiden Spencer, Brian Rogers and George Gareis completing the top five.

Jimmy Wills was the man to beat in the 15-lap Modified Lite feature, racing to the victory over Friday night winner Tim White. Toby Davis finished third, followed by Josh Clark and Brayden Benson to complete the top five.

With Ryan Godown and Jonathan Swanson officially crowned 2026 champions, the championship spotlight now turns to Bridgeport’s remaining divisions Sportsman Modified’s, Street Stocks, and 4 Cylinder Stock Cars. Their titles will be decided next Saturday night, when another season of racing at the Kingdom of Speed moves one step closer to its dramatic conclusion.
