Briggs Danner & Dave Grube Collect Dirty Jersey Victories

Sprint cars, sprint cars and more sprint cars as Doug Rose and Danny Dietrich and sponsor, Better Construction Services of New York brought the Dirty Jersey to the Bridgeport Motorsports Park for the 2025 season finale.  410 sprint cars led by the PA Posse, the wingless sprints of the USAC East Coast racers and the winged 305 racers of the Mid Atlantic Sprint Series waved the final checkered flags on their respective 2025 seasons on Saturday.

Justin Whittall raced to a thirty lap green to checkered win to defend his Dirty Jersey title of 2024.  It took just seven minutes and ten seconds for Whittall to lead the field to the checkered for his $12,000 victory.  Whittall started from the outside pole after finishing second to Lance DeWease in the five lap dash that determined the starting line-up of the first three rows.   Instead of using the run off of the outside to gain the lead, Whittall dove to the bottom of the track to race by DeWease on the start.  DeWease fought back but Chase Dietz was already on the throttle, racing to the outside to take over second and then making a move on the leader.

Whittall did not realize that Dietz was there and minor contact was made but knowing that a challenger was that close had Whittall mashing the gas to put some distance between them.  

DeWease, Tyler Ross and Brock Zearfoss chased Whittall and Dietz through lap five.

Two laps later, Whittall caught the back of the field and began to make his way through traffic.  Anthony Macri raced into the top five a few laps later and set his sights on DeWease.  Macri took over third just before lap twenty.

Whittall raced to the checkered over Dietz, Macri, Danny Dietrich who raced into fourth in the final ten laps and DeWease.

Ross finished sixth followed by Zearfoss, Thomas, Buddy Schweibinz and Briggs Dinner.

“This is a fast, intense place,” Whittall stated, “but I think I have it figured out!”

The second feature of the night saw Briggs Danner race into the lead on a lap four restart and then race away from the field to capture his second USAC East Coast race of the season.  The former USAC EC Champion has spent the 2025 season on the road with his Hogue Boulevard Trucking No. 39, racing with the USAC National Sprint Car Series.  

Ron Helmick led the first three laps of the race until Christian Bruno caught the cushion and took a wild ride in turns three and four.  Bruno was not injured but his event ended just three laps into the race.

Helmick led the field back to the green flag with Kenny Miller III in second and Danner in third.  When both Helmick and Miller went to the bottom on the restart, Danner took the No. 39 upstairs and drove into the lead as the field exited turn two.  The race ran non-stop for the remaining twenty-two laps as Danner raced to the win over Miller, USAC EC Champion, Steven Drevicki, Helmick and Chase Moran.  Ed Aikin raced through the field to finish sixth followed by David Swanson, Joe Kata, JR Fulper and Patrick Chilmonik.

“I miss racing here,” Danner stated following his win.  It was just five years ago, in the month of September, that Danner came to Bridgeport to try his hand in a sprint car.  He practiced on Friday night and then raced to the win on Saturday night in his first race in a sprint car.   

The DCB’s Plumbing and Heating Mid Atlantic Sprint Series produced the closest finish of the three features on Saturday night with the win being determined in the final laps.  Jeff Weaver took the lead on the original start and then raced out in front of the field through lap seventeen.  It was Weaver’s second start at Bridgeport.   2025 MASS Champion, Troy Betts and Dave Grube closed in on Weaver as the leader raced through lapped traffic.  It was a three car battle for the lead and Weaver and Grube went for the same real estate.  Contact was made.  Grube continued while Weaver headed to the work area and Betts led the field to the restart.

Grube wasn’t sure if he had sustained any damage when the contact was made but he pressured Betts for the lead with five laps to go.  Betts led the way over Grube, Johnny Smith, Cody West and Eddie Wagner.

Grube grabbed the lead on lap twenty-one and Betts kept it close as he tried to regain the lead.  It was Grube who led the field to the checkered flag over Betts, West, Wagner and Smith.  Making his first ever appearance on Bridgeport’s High Banks, Zach Sobotka got better as the race went on, taking a sixth place finish over Tim Iulg, Rick Lafferty, Aidan Borden and Jared Kreider.

Grube expressed his regret over the contact with Weaver.  “We just went for the same piece of real estate,” Grube explained.  After studying Weaver’s line for several laps, Grube headed to where Weaver wasn’t but on that particular lap, Weaver changed his line.  

The Better Construction Services of New York Four Cylinders saw Chris Yob lead the way on the feature event with pressure from Justin Storms almost from the beginning.  These two drivers raced side-by-side, lap after lap before Storm took the lead on lap eleven.  Once in clean air, Storms drove away from the field taking the win ovr

Swedesboro, NJ – Promoters Doug Rose and Danny Dietrich have announced a schedule change for this weekend’s Dirty Jersey Finale presented by Better Contracting Services, NY. The entire event will now run Saturday, November 1st, with Friday’s preliminary night scratched due to expected cold temperatures and high winds.

“With Friday’s portion starting in the dark and temps in the 50s with high winds, we felt it was best to just race Saturday,” said co-promoter Danny Dietrich. “Saturday’s forecast looks great — sunshine, calm winds, and highs near 62 at our 3:00 start time. We’re looking forward to a huge day of racing!”

Headlining the program will be the 410 Sprint Cars, chasing a $12,000 payday, joined by USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars, Mid Atlantic Sprint Series (305 Sprint Cars), & 4-Cylinder Stock Cars

Bridgeport promoter Doug Rose added, “Our season-ending 410 Sprint Car event has become a staple for Central PA teams and even some national travelers. There’s nothing better than watching 410s rip around the high banks of Bridgeport.”

Fan favorite Briggs Danner and the Hogue 39 team have hustled back from Arizona to compete in both the 410 and USAC events.

New Jersey’s own Justin Whittall, last year’s Dirty Jersey winner, returns as a top contender, while 2024 event champion Kyle Reinhardt returns in a new role — serving as crew chief for 18-year-old Preston Lattomus of Lewes, Delaware, Williams Grove Speedway Rookie of the Year

Anthony Macri leads a strong PA Posse contingent including Dietrich, Freddie Rahmer Jr., Lance Dewease, and Brock Zearfoss.

The Dirty Jersey Finale wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible support of sponsors and fans. Highlights include:

• “Double D Perfect Trifecta” – $500 to any fan who can correctly pick all three Sprint Car feature winners!
• Kids Trick-or-Treating during intermission when the 410s are staged behind the grandstands — all race teams are encouraged to participate.

Rick Lafferty never heard what Larry McVay said to him during the fuel stop at halfway.  McVay told him to “keep doing what he was doing.  You’ve got this.”  And McVay was right.

Lafferty took the lead on lap forty-four, led the final six laps of the fifty lap Ron Faison 305 Sprint Car Nationals fifty lap feature and picked up the $4,000 win plus contingencies.

DJ Tanner led the race from the start until the fuel stop at halfway.  When the race went back to green on lap twenty-six, Tanner had his hands full with the challenge of polesitter, Dave Grube.  The two battled back and forth with Grube leading lap twenty-six.  Tanner was back in front on twenty-seven and Grube was left sitting in turn four, bringing out the caution.

Lafferty raced into third, racing by Dave Brown on lap thirty-two.  He raced by Brian Carber for second one lap later. Then he began to reel in the race leader.

A late race caution tightened up the field on lap forty-two.  Lafferty came out of turns three and four with the lead on lap forty-four.  Once out in front, Lafferty quickly pulled away from the field and drove to the victory over DJ Tanner, Brian Carber, Dave Brown and Kevin Nagy.  Bob DeVault, Buddy Schweibinz, Tim Iulg, Troy Betts and George Loux rounded out the top ten.

After years of 410 experience, Lafferty began to work with Larry McVay last season.  McVay gave all the credit to Lafferty and his father.  “It was all Rick and his dad,” McVay recounted. “They built this car with parts that I had around.”  The No. 83 was not painted nor lettered but it was fast.

The win was a first for Lafferty in a 305.  It was also a first win for McVay.

Jasen Geesaman raced to his first extra distance win on the High Banks of the Bridgeport Motorsports Park.  Geesaman has won frequently in regular Saturday night events but could only master runner-up finishes in the long distance events.  

That was until Saturday night.

Geesaman grabbed the lead from his outside pole start and then drove away from the field to pick up the win in the fifty lap feature event for the Insta Signs Plus Street Stocks, sponsored by Roveta Speed and Mr. Blue Beard.

 While Geesaman’s ride seemed effortless, it was anything but for Bailey Tolson and Chris Derr who raced hard for second for more than half of the race.  Tolson had Derr on his back bumper or occasionally looking to the inside or outside but he never let up and raced hard to finish second.  Derr finished third followed by Kyle Saylor and Spider Ensinger, Jr.  

Kevin Heckman finished sixth followed by Shane Grosso, Mike Baldwin, Butch Heisel and Scott Freed completed the top ten at the checkered.

Wayne Weaver drove to yet another topless Ice Less 602 Sportsman feature, leading every one of the twenty-five laps on his way to the checkered.  Ethan Young had a strong outing to finish second, fighting off the challenges provided by Trent Willey throughout the race.

For the ageless veteran, it was the third win of the season for Weaver.  Young finished second followed by Willey, Duncan Molesworth and Charley Cossaboone.

Jonathan Swanson turned the tables on Stan Ploski III and picked up his third win of the season in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints.

The head’s up start had Ploski on the pole with Swanson to his outside.  Swanson used the outside to roll into the lead.  Ploski challenged repeatedly but Swanson was not to be denied on this night.  

It was Swanson for the win over Ploski, Mick D’Agostino and Wayne Scott.

Night one of the Ron Faison Memorial weekend saw some familiar faces in the Insta Sign Plus Victory Lane.   Buddy Schweibinz raced to his first 305 win if the season at Bridgeport in the twenty-five lap DCB’S Plumbing & Heating Mid Atlantic Sprint Series feature event.  Jasen Geesaman raced to the win in the Insta Signs Plus Street Stock feature while Stan Ploski III led flag to flag for the win in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints.  Charley Cossaboone raced to his first win in his Rookie season in the Underdog 15 for winless 602 Sportsman.

Three time series champion, Schweibinz raced to the win after taking the lead from Jared Kreider on lap one. Nick Sweigert raced by 2025 MASS Champion, Troy Betts, right before a lap seventeen caution.  Sweigert trailed Schweibinz to the checkered followed by Betts who had Timmy Bitner on his tail as they raced to the finish.  Jared Kreider finished fifth in the Haggenbottom No.24. 

Aidan Borden finished 6th followed by Dave Brown, Jeff Paulson, Brian Carber and Dan Leaper.   The racing was great and a good indicator of what was to come in Saturday night’s action.

Schweibinz did have a win at Bridgeport earlier in the season while racing with the United Racing Club. 

Jasen Geesaman raced to the win the fifteen lap Insta Signs Plus of Delaware feature.  Chris Derr returned to the wheel of an old ride as a team mate to Geesaman and led the first five laps of the feature.  They raced four wide for second on the first lap as Geesaman, Bailey Tolson, Scott Freed and Heisel battled through turn two with Geesaman taking over second.  Geesaman took the lead from Derr on lap six while Tolson battled with 2025 Track Champion, Mike Hughes.

As Geesaman raced to the checkered, the three eighteens followed with Tolson taking second over Hughes and Derr.  Darren Cox rounded out the top five at the finish.  Scott Freed, Nick Sandone III, Jimmy Combs, Mike Baldwinn and Spider Ensinger, Jr. completed the top ten at the checkered.

Stan Ploski, III made his statement with a flag-to-flag win in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints as he raced ahead of Jonathan Swanson, Wayne Scott, Heidi Hedin and Andrew Hunt for the win

Charley Cossaboone continued the family tradition as he raced to his first victory in the Ice Less 602 Sportsman.  Bringing the yellow No. 7a back to Bridgeport this season, Charley continues in the tradition of his grandfather, Chic Cossaboone, a past champion and much loved Bridgeport competitor.  Duncan Molesworth finished second with Lew Moore taking third.

It was the Danny Serrano Memorial Weekend at the Bridgeport Motorsports Park as the track celebrated the life of the former Race Director and friend to many racers.  There were many Danny stories told and retold over the weekend.

Demers Heating and Cooling was onboard as the weekend sponsor and loving every minute of it!

This was a race that Neal Williams really wanted to win.  “I’ve wanted to win this race for a long time,” Williams stated.  “Danny was very important to me.”  Williams credits Serrano with helping him move into the Modified ranks.  

Danny Bouc and Stan Frankenfield, Jr. led the field of the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds to the green flag with Bouc grabbing the early race lead.  Williams quickly moved into second and set his sights on the race leader.  

Bouc led the first twenty laps of the race.  Williams watched the line that the leader was racing and knew that he would be moving around, searching for a good line.  When Bouc moved his line, Williams was ready.  Williams was afraid that he might have followed him for too long.  He made his move on lap twenty-one.  A slide job in turn three and the race had a new leader. 

Billy Osmun III took over second on the  next restart, just one lap after Williams took the lead.

Williams led the field to the crossed flags and picked up the $500 bonus from DeMers as the leader at halfway.  Osmun, Bouc, HJ Bunting and Cale Ross trailed the leader at halfway.

Ryan Godown raced in sixth and worked on Ross to advance his position.  On lap thirty-seven, the two drivers made contact after racing hard for the position.  Godown spun in turn two and Ross headed to the pits to change a flat tire.  They both returned to restart at the back of the field.

Sammy Martz, Jr. was on the move, taking over fifth and looking for more.

Osmun challenged for the lead on a restart on lap fifty-one but Williams crossed him over to maintain the lead.  

Williams raced to the win, becoming the sixth different driver to win this event.  Osmun finished second and made his grandfather very proud.  The elder Osmun attended his first race of the year and got to see his grandson deliver a great race.  (And by the way – the years have been kind to Billy Osmun!)  Billy Osmun III has a number of second place finishes that he is so ready to trade in on a win!

Danny Bouc finished third followed by Sammy Martz, Jr. and Luke Bunting.  Dillon Steuer, the winner of last year’s event, finished sixth followed by Stan Frankenfield, Brian Papiez, Cale Ross and Ryan Godown.

Williams was not at all happy with his ride the night before.  Changes were made and Williams had a race car for the distance.  Although he did run the distance without brakes!

The Ice Less 602 Sportsman raced in a thirty-five lap Bruce Ward Memorial feature.  Ward played an important role in many of the area drivers racing careers.

Rookie, PJ Bozowski was the early race leader but Steve Kemery was on the move, challenging for the lead on lap three.  Kemery led the way over Matt Peck until lap eight when an apparent drive line problem had him come to a stop between turns three and four.

Peck became the new race leader on the restart followed by Luke Bunting, Bozowski, Adriana Delliponte and Matt Ellery.

Delliponte was going forward and looking for more.  While Peck raced through lapped traffic, Delliponte gained positions.  She closed in on Bunting and then took over second with about ten laps to go.  

Peck raced to the win and the $500 halfway bonus from DeMers Heating and Cooling.  It was Peck’s fourth win of the season in the Danny Sommerling No. 51.  Delliponte finished second in her only Bridgeport start of the season.  Bunting, Ellery and Steve Davis rounded out the top five.  Ryan Anderson finished sixth followed by Jesse Hirthler, Jax Yohn, Jim Wyers and Jordan Henn.

The Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints had their second race of the weekend and it was almost an instant replay of the night before as JR  Fulper raced to his second win of the weekend – doubling his win total of the season. 2025 Track Champion,  Thomas Radivoy finished second followed by Jonathan Swanson, Rich Mellor and Stan Ploski III.  

Fulper has progressed throughout his first season in an open wheel car.  

Defending Track Champion, Nick Sandone III raced to his first win of the season in the Insta Signs Plus Street Stocks after a race long battle with Gary Bozowski.  A flat tire took Bozowski out of the run for the win in what was a wild night for this division.

Sandone took the win over Spider Ensinger, Jr., Scott Freed, Mike Baldwin and Bozowski  in fifth.

Joe Garey, Jr. led only the final lap in the Insta Signs Plus Four Cylinder feature to capture the win.  Backowski finished second and then crashed in turns one and two after the checkered.  Joe Garey, Sr. finished third followed by Roger Kummerer and Kelly Fleming.
