Bridgeport Motorsports Park

SWEDESBORO, NJ — The thunder of horsepower, the thrill of wheel-to-wheel battles and the pursuit of big-money glory took center stage as the Dirty Jersey Finale presented by Weikert Livestock delivered an unforgettable night of sprint car racing at the Bridgeport Motorsports Park!

When the final checkered flag waved over the South Jersey high banks, three drivers had written their own remarkable stories.

Anthony Macri powered his way to a spectacular $15,000 victory in the 30-lap 410 Sprint Car main event, making the winning move in the closing laps to capture one of the weekend’s most coveted prizes.

Chelby Hinton completed a sensational two-night sweep of the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint competition, collecting the $2,000 Sandoe’s Fruit Market bonus and turning an unexpected opportunity into a dream weekend.

Troy Betts turned Friday night’s heartbreak into Saturday night’s triumph, dominating the DCB’s Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series finale to close out another championship season in winning fashion!

Three winners. Three incredible stories. One unforgettable Dirty Jersey Finale!

When $15,000 is on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and Anthony Macri proved once again why he’s among the most formidable competitors in 410 Sprint Car racing!

The 30-lap main event began with Jordan Thomas drawing the coveted pole position alongside Troy Wagaman. When the green flag waved, Thomas wasted little time establishing himself as the man to beat, charging into the early lead.

Thomas set the pace with Macri, Wagaman, Logan Rumsey and Danny Dietrich giving chase as the field thundered around Bridgeport’s high banks.

As the race approached its midpoint, Thomas continued to control the action, but the pressure was building. Macri remained within striking distance, with Dietrich, Wagaman and Chase Dietz battling behind the leaders.

Then came the moment that would decide the $15,000 showdown. With ten laps remaining, Thomas encountered slower traffic, and Macri saw his opportunity.

The Pennsylvania powerhouse closed rapidly on the leader, searching high and low for a way around Thomas. Macri first tested the outside before diving to the inside, looking for the opening that could deliver the biggest payday of the weekend.

With eight laps remaining, Macri made his move, wrestled the lead away from Thomas and never looked back. Once out front, Macri unleashed the speed of his machine, pulling away from the competition and racing toward the checkered flag.

When the checkered flags waved, Anthony Macri was the king of the Dirty Jersey Finale, collecting the $15,000 winner’s prize. Thomas turned in an impressive performance to finish second, while Dietrich completed the podium in third. Wagaman crossed the line fourth, with Ryan Smith rounding out the top five. Brock Zearfoss finished sixth, followed by Justin Whittall, Chase Dietz, Lance Dewease and Friday night’s Non-Winners feature winner Tyler Ross.

Deitz earned the Betts Garage Fastest Lap Award, while Whittall charged from his sixteenth starting position to finish seventh, earning the Mitch Bodine Magoo’s Motorsickles Hard Charger Award after advancing nine positions. But when the money was on the line and the laps were winding down, it was Macri who delivered the winning move!

Sometimes the greatest racing stories begin with an opportunity nobody saw coming.

For Chelby Hinton, the Dirty Jersey Finale became exactly that!

What started as an opportunity to have some fun behind the wheel of the Hogue Racing No. 39 turned into an extraordinary weekend that Hinton and the entire team won’t soon forget.

Hinton, originally from Louisiana, relocated to Indiana to be closer to the heart of USAC racing. Whenever the Hogue team came to town, Hinton would often lend a helping hand.

Following the announcement that Briggs Danner and the Hogue team had parted ways, car owner Tim Hogue reached out to Hinton with an invitation to drive the No. 39 at Bridgeport.

The expectations were simple. Go racing, have some fun and see what happens.

What happened was nothing short of spectacular! Hinton opened the weekend by winning Friday night’s USAC East Coast Non-Winners feature. But Saturday presented an entirely different challenge, with the full field of wingless sprint car competitors ready to battle for victory.

Jonathan Swanson and Tyler Brehm led the field to the green for the 25-lap main event, with Brehm taking command on the opening circuit. Brehm led Swanson, Hinton, Brendan Hires and Kyle Spence through the early stages as the field battled for position.

But Hinton was on the move. After working his way around Swanson for second, Hinton set his sights on Brehm and began closing the gap. On lap ten, Hinton made the decisive move, charging past Brehm to take command of the race!

At the halfway mark, Hinton led Brehm, with Spence, Ron Helmick and Hires completing the top five. from there, Hinton was simply unstoppable. The driver who had never raced at Bridgeport before continued to stretch his advantage, powering the Hogue No. 39 to the checkered flag and completing an incredible weekend sweep!

Two nights, two victories, one unbelievable “Dirty Jersey Finale” sweep. The victory also earned Hinton the $2,000 Sandoe’s Fruit Market bonus for winning both weekend events.

Brehm, driving the Kevin Kelly wingless sprint car, finished second, followed by Spence, Kenny Miller III and Hires. Steven Drevicki finished sixth, putting the finishing touches on his 2026 USAC East Coast Championship. Christian Bruno crossed the line seventh, followed by Helmick, Jared Kreider and Swanson.

But the story everyone was talking about belonged to Hinton. “We were just going to have a fun weekend,” Hinton explained. “Tim and I talked on the way from the airport and we honestly thought we could win on Friday night but didn’t know how we’d do against the full field on Saturday.”

It was Hinton’s first visit to Bridgeport, his first trip to New Jersey and one of only a handful of wingless sprint car starts this season. He left with two victories, a $2,000 bonus and memories that will last a lifetime. Talk about making the most of an opportunity!

Troy Betts, Saturday night’s DCB’s Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series finale was about more than another trip to Victory Lane, it was about redemption.

Just 24 hours earlier, Betts appeared headed toward victory in Friday night’s feature when a blown right rear tire brought his hopes of winning to a heartbreaking end, but champions don’t dwell on disappointment they come back stronger and that’s exactly what the two-time defending MASS champion did.

Betts returned Saturday determined to finish what he had started, and from the drop of the green flag, he made his intentions crystal clear. The Betts Garage driver took command of the 25-lap main event and never surrendered the lead!

“I really wanted to end the season with a clean sweep,” Betts explained. “We had the car to beat all weekend” but getting back to the track Saturday required more than repairing the race car.

Following Friday night’s disappointment, the team faced the challenge of completing the necessary maintenance and preparation while allowing Betts to attend his daughter’s final soccer game of the season.

With the work completed, Betts returned to Bridgeport ready for business and business was booming!

As the race unfolded, Betts demonstrated why he has become one of the most consistent competitors in the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series. Watching the racing surface change throughout the event, Betts recognized that the preferred groove was shifting from the top of the speedway toward the middle and bottom. He adjusted accordingly, keeping his machine out front while his challengers searched for an opportunity.

Two late-race cautions gave Rick Lafferty a chance to mount a serious challenge, but Betts was ready. Each time the field returned to green, Betts adapted his racing line and maintained control.

Betts raced beneath the checkered flag to capture the Dirty Jersey Finale victory, erasing the frustration of Friday night and closing his season with another impressive performance.

Lafferty finished second, followed by Jared Kreider, Eddie Wagner and Cole Dewease. John Braim crossed the line sixth, with Josh Bricker, Tyler Erdley, Ryan Schultz and Jon Brennfleck completing the top ten.

The victory provided a fitting conclusion to another championship season for Betts and the entire Betts Garage operation. Having already secured the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series Championship, Betts celebrated his second consecutive series title.

With just three DNFs over the past two seasons, the team’s remarkable consistency speaks volumes about the dedication, preparation and commitment of the entire Betts Garage crew. Two championships in two years. And one final trip to Victory Lane to put an exclamation point on an outstanding season!

A “Dirty Jersey Finale’ to remember! From Anthony Macri’s late-race charge to a $15,000 payday, to Chelby Hinton’s remarkable two-night sweep, to Troy Betts’ triumphant return from heartbreak, the “Dirty Jersey Finale” delivered the kind of unforgettable moments that make dirt track racing so special.

There were dramatic passes, dominant performances, championship celebrations and emotional victories and through it all, Bridgeport Motorsports Park high banks once again provided the stage for some of the most exciting sprint car racing in the Northeast. When the final checkered flag waved, the 2026 “Dirty Jersey Finale” had delivered a spectacular finish!

The fans and racers of Bridgeport look forward to what the 2027 season schedule has in store. The season opener of March 19 & 20^th has been announced. The :Kingdom of Speed” will open with the Doug Hoffman Memorial, Short Track Super Series weekend!

Swedesboro, New Jersey (October 31, 2026)………Just a few days ago, Chelby Hinton was preparing to race in Texas. Those races were ultimately canceled, but a random phone call from Hogue Racing Enterprises soon changed everything.

That phone call led to bringing a kid from Louisiana to New Jersey where he finished the USAC East Coast Sprint Cars Presented by Baer Den Farms season as a winner of Sprint Car Extravaganza on Saturday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park.

A stout field of 23 drivers were on hand, and Hinton, who had never stepped foot on the grounds at Bridgeport, wasted no time making himself at home. On Friday night, Hinton captured the Malley Pool Water Non-Winners Showdown, taking the first step toward what became a career-changing weekend.

With $700 to win Friday, $2,500 to win Saturday, and a $2,000 Sandoe’s Fruit Market sweep bonus on the line, something never before accomplished in USAC East Coast history was possible. A potential $5,200 weekend was waiting for the driver who could conquer both nights.

Another major storyline heading into Saturday was the tight championship battle between Steven Drevicki and Christian Bruno. After Kyle Spence, Steven Drevicki, and Ronald Helmick captured the three heat races, Drevicki carried a 24-point advantage into the Baer Den Farms feature.

Once the amber lights went dark, the drama began. Who would win the battle? Who would win the war?

Jonathan Swanson started from the pole, but it was Reading, Pennsylvania’s Tyler Brehm taking the early lead, piloting the potent Kelly No. 51. However, Hinton, aboard the Hogue 39, wasted no time applying pressure to Brehm.

Flirting with disaster while utilizing every inch of the very top of the racetrack, Hinton snatched the lead on lap eight. Brehm wasn’t going away, though, as he fought back and attempted another slide job on the 39.

Meanwhile, the battle for third was three-wide, with Swanson, Helmick, Spence, and a charging Brenden Hires all in the mix. Kyle Spence began working every angle of the racetrack, finding a way past Swanson, Hires, and Helmick to move into third.

Drevicki lurked just outside the top five, while Christian Bruno was slicing his way forward from his 16th starting position and breaking into the top 10, right behind the point leader.

As the laps clicked off, one thing became evident: Hinton didn’t come east just to compete. He came east to win. Neither Brehm nor Spence had an answer for the Louisiana invader.

Hinton scored not only his first career USAC East Coast victory, but his second win of the weekend. He collected the $2,500 feature payday, the $2,000 Sandoes Fruit Market sweep bonus, his $700 Friday night victory, a $100 RAD Hot Lap Hero bonus, and the Bitner Automotive Fast Time award. Quite the lucrative trip from Louisiana!

Brehm turned in a career-best wingless performance with a second-place finish, while Kyle Spence completed the podium in third.

While Hinton was celebrating a magical weekend, Drevicki had unfinished business of his own. The Reading, Pennsylvania driver did exactly what he needed to do, sealing up his sixth career USAC East Coast Sprint Car championship.

A weekend that started with a phone call ended with a new winner, a $5,200 payday, and another championship added to the history books.

SWEDESBORO, NJ — The engines roared, the dirt flew, and the excitement was electric as the highly anticipated Dirty Jersey Finale thundered to life Friday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park!

When the dust finally settled on Night No. 1, three drivers had added their names to Bridgeport’s 2026 winners list, setting the stage for an explosive Saturday night showdown on the Kingdom of Speed’s high banks!

Tyler Ross delivered a flawless wire-to-wire performance in the 410 Sprint Car Non-Winners feature, Chelby Hinton made his first-ever appearance in the Garden State a memorable one with a dominating USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Car victory, and Bob DeVault saved his best for last, charging into the lead in the closing laps to capture a thrilling DCB Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series triumph!

It was a night of speed, determination, and dramatic racing that gave fans a taste of what was still to come during the Dirty Jersey Finale weekend!

When opportunity knocked, Tyler Ross answered with authority! Behind the wheel of his family-owned No. 5, Ross put together a picture-perfect performance, leading every lap of the 20-lap 410 Sprint Car Non-Winners feature to secure his place in Bridgeport’s Victory Lane.

Although Buddy Schweibinz had established himself as the man to beat by setting fast time during timed hot laps, Ross had other plans when the green flag waved. Starting from the pole, Ross immediately rocketed into the lead and never looked back!

With the field charging around Bridgeport’s lightning-fast high banks, Ross maintained control throughout a caution-free, green-to-checkered battle. Twenty laps later, the checkered flag belonged to Ross!

For Ross and his family-operated team, the victory represented much more than another trophy. Ross explained that the team’s goal entering the weekend was simple: “To get our program better.” The additional laps provided valuable seat time and an opportunity to fine-tune the No. 5 machine ahead of the weekend’s main event. Even better, the victory came with a guaranteed starting position in the Dirty Jersey!

Schweibinz chased Ross to the finish but settled for a strong runner-up performance. J.T. Ferry crossed the line third, followed by Jordan Thomas and Brent Shearer to complete the top five.

Talk about making an unforgettable first impression! Chelby Hinton had never raced at Bridgeport Motorsports Park. In fact, he had never even competed in the state of New Jersey. That all changed Friday night when Hinton climbed aboard the Hogue Racing No. 39 and introduced himself to the Garden State racing community in spectacular fashion!

The 20-lap USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Car Non-Winners feature began with plenty of drama before the field could even complete its opening circuit. Jared Kreider and Jonathan Swanson were scheduled to lead the 20-car field to the green, but opening-lap spins involving Olivia Thayer and Mick D’Agostino brought out the caution.

Before racing could resume, Kreider’s machine failed to fire, forcing him to the infield and reshuffling the front row. Swanson inherited the pole position with Hinton moving alongside. Another caution followed when Greg Shepsis came to a stop in the first turn.

Finally, on the third attempt, the field was unleashed! Swanson grabbed the early advantage with Hinton, Kyle Spence, Joe Kata, and Ron Helmick giving chase.

But Hinton wasn’t about to settle for second! As the laps clicked away, Hinton zeroed in on the leader. On lap eight, he made his move, charging past Swanson to take command of the race. Once Hinton reached the front, the battle for the victory was effectively over!

The driver of the Hogue No. 39 steadily increased his advantage while the competition battled behind him. Spence and Kata worked their way past Swanson as the fight for the remaining podium positions intensified, but nobody had an answer for Hinton.

When the checkered flag waved, Hinton had completed a remarkable Bridgeport debut with a convincing victory! Making the accomplishment even more impressive, Hinton estimated that Friday’s event was only his fourth wingless Sprint Car start of the entire season!

First race at Bridgeport. First race in New Jersey. First Bridgeport victory. Now THAT is how you make an entrance!

Spence claimed the runner-up position with Kata completing the podium. Jonathan Swanson finished fourth, followed by Ron Helmick in fifth. Brendan Hires, Tyler Brehm aboard the Kevin Kelly-owned No. 51, J.R. Fulper, Rick Lafferty, and David Swanson rounded out the top ten.

If the first two features showcased dominating performances, the final event of the evening delivered the kind of late-race drama that keeps fans on the edge of their seats And when the pressure was at its highest, veteran Bob DeVault delivered!

The 25-lap DCB Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series A-Main featured 24 competitors battling for the victory and four coveted guaranteed starting positions in Saturday’s feature.

Troy Betts and DeVault brought the field to starter Kevin Golden’s green flag, but just like the previous feature, it took three attempts before the opening lap could be completed. Once racing settled into a rhythm, Betts established himself as the early leader with DeVault, Dave Brown, Ryan Schultz, and Rick Lafferty in pursuit.

On lap ten, Brown worked his way around DeVault to take over second and began setting his sights on the leader Then disaster struck for Betts! A flat right-rear tire on his No. 22 brought his bid for victory to a heartbreaking end, opening the door for Brown to inherit the lead.

Brown controlled the restart with DeVault, Tyler Grau, Lafferty, and Jared Kreider giving chase But the action was far from finished! With seven laps remaining, Lafferty got sideways between turns three and four while running third. Although he managed to keep his machine moving, the incident sent him tumbling from third to tenth.

The caution flag returned on lap 20 when Schultz backed his Sprint Car into the third-turn wall. Schultz was able to continue, but another yellow followed one lap later when Lafferty spun in turn four That set the stage for a spectacular finish!

Brown led the field back to green with DeVault directly behind him. Grau, Michael Shea, and Kreider were all within striking distance as the laps began to disappear And that’s when DeVault came alive!

With just three laps remaining, DeVault mounted his challenge, powered past Brown, and seized the lead! After spending much of the season away from the driver’s seat, DeVault wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away. He held off the competition over the final circuits and charged under the checkered flag to claim a sensational victory!

What made the win even more remarkable was that Friday night’s event was only DeVault’s third race of the entire season!

Rather than spending the year behind the wheel, DeVault devoted much of his time to helping his son, Dylan, develop his skills in Micro Sprint competition. He also provided guidance and coaching to first-year competitor Tyler Grau And the results spoke volumes!

Not only did DeVault celebrate a return to Victory Lane, but Grau delivered an impressive fourth-place finish of his own. It was a rewarding night for a veteran racer who had spent much of the season helping the next generation succeed.

Brown finished a strong second after leading much of the second half of the event, while Kreider battled his way to third. Grau finished fourth, with Michael Shea completing the top five. Cole DeWease, Jon Brennfleck, Shelby Kelly, Tyler Erdley, and Josh Bricker rounded out the top ten.

DeVault, Brown, Kreider, and Grau all earned guaranteed starting positions in Saturday’s A-Main, giving the quartet plenty of reason to celebrate!

THE STAGE IS SET FOR A DIRTY JERSEY FINALE SHOWDOWN! Three winners. Three incredible stories. And one unforgettable opening night! from Ross’s flawless 410 Sprint Car performance to Hinton’s stunning Garden State debut and DeVault’s dramatic late-race charge, Friday night delivered the excitement that makes Bridgeport Motorsports Park one of the most thrilling dirt racing destinations in the Northeast!

But Friday was only the beginning! With guaranteed starting positions secured, valuable track time logged, and momentum building throughout the pit area, the spotlight now turns to Saturday’s Dirty Jersey Finale!

The stakes are rising. The competition is getting tougher. And the Kingdom of Speed is ready to unleash another night of breathtaking Sprint Car action! If Friday night was any indication, race fans had better buckle up, because the Dirty Jersey Finale is just getting started!

Swedesboro, New Jersey (October 30, 2026)………Chelby Hinton made his debut in the Hogue Racing Enterprises No. 39 a pretty good one.

The Dubberly, Louisiana native captured the victory during Friday night’s Malley Pool Water Non-Winners Showdown at Swedesboro, New Jersey’s Bridgeport Motorsports Park. The event was open to any driver who had never before won a USAC East Coast Sprint Car Presented by Baer Den Farms feature event in their career.

Hinton, the newly crowned USAC Silver Crown Max Papis Innovations Rookie of the Year, started third and made his way to the lead on the sixth circuit of the 20-lap non-points special event feature.

The inversion for the feature was six with Jared Kreider starting on the pole. The initial start went yellow for a spin involving Olivia Thayer and Mick D’Agostino. During the yellow, Kreider’s car had a mechanical issue, ending hope for an upset win.  

On the restart, Jonathan Swanson led the way, while Kyle Spence and Hinton slid their way towards the front. On lap six, Hinton made the race winning move on Swanson, and Hinton set sail, utilizing the very top of the 4/10-mile dirt oval.

Kyle Spence snagged second from Swanson and brought Joe Kata with him to take over third.

As the laps wound down, Hinton was not to be denied as he found his first sprint car triumph. He is now in contention for the Sandoe’s Fruit Market $2,000 weekend sweep bonus if he can find the stage in Saturday’s $2,500-to-win Baer Den Farms season closer.

Spence took second with Kata third. Early race leader Swanson and fast qualifier Ronald Helmick rounded out the top five.

On a breezy and gorgeous evening, 20 USAC East Coast Sprint Cars were on hand. Kata led the first round of qualifying with a lap of 16.057 seconds. The second round of time trials saw Helmick go fast time with a 16.205 second lap.

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!
