Bridgeport Motorsports Park is rolling out the red carpet and bringing a true Hollywood experience to the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports Show presented by Can-Am, happening Friday and Saturday, January 23–24, 2026, at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA!

Step into the spotlight at the Bridgeport booth and be among the first in the world to experience PONY, the groundbreaking feature film filmed at Bridgeport Motorsports Park and set for a Spring 2026 theatrical release. This is your exclusive chance to see movie magic collide with real dirt track action.

What to Expect at the Bridgeport Display:

• Walk the red carpet
• Meet cast members from PONY
• Get autographs and photos with the stars
• Watch exclusive trailer footage and never-before-seen scenes
• Experience it all on a massive 100-inch screen

This will be the first public showing of footage from the completed film, making the PPB Motorsports Show a historic moment in racing and film.

PONY is the first feature motion picture to authentically capture the world of Northeast Dirt Modified racing. It’s not just about speed and competition—it’s a powerful story of family, mental health, resilience, and determination. Centered around sisters Amanda and Pony Marchetti, the film follows their journey after a devastating championship crash changes everything and uncovers a shocking act of sabotage.

With real racing, real drivers, and real emotion, authenticity is at the heart of PONY.

Top Modified stars Billy Pauch Jr., Sammy Martz Jr., and Ryan Krachun performed high-speed stunt driving in real competition, while the lead actresses even took the wheel in select scenes. No green screens. No staged racing. Just pure dirt track adrenaline.

The project gained momentum when Bridgeport Motorsports Park owner Doug Rose joined forces with David Izzi of Izzi Trucking and Rigging and South Jersey producer Chris Cardillo, bringing the racing community directly into the production. Actual racers and race sponsors appear in the film exactly as they do on a real Saturday night at the track.

After two years of filming at Bridgeport and across New Jersey, production has wrapped and post-production is underway. A red carpet theatrical premiere is planned for Spring 2026, with discussions ongoing for a special outdoor screening right at Bridgeport Motorsports Park—bringing the movie home to where it all began.

Hollywood is coming to racing country, and Bridgeport Motorsports Park is leading the charge.

Swedesboro, NJ — Bridgeport Motorsports Park will launch the 2026 racing season with a blockbuster two-day weekend March 21–22, headlined by invading Short Track Super Series (STSS) Modified and Sportsman action.

The season-opening weekend will provide 2 Modified features and 3 Sportsman feature events with multiple long-distance laps along with a unique rain-date structure designed to ensure the completion of all major programs.

Saturday will be a full prelim race day for both Modifieds and Sportsman divisions, operating under STSS rules. The program will include heats, consi’s, and feature events.

• 25-lap Modified feature – $3,000 to win

• 20-lap Sportsman feature – $1,000 to win

The top three finishers in each feature will be locked into Sunday’s STSS main events.

“Racers and fans have asked us for a full prelim programs with features and payouts rather than timed dashes or practice sessions,” said track promoter Doug Rose. “In 2026, we’re going to give them exactly that.”

Also on Saturday as a bonus Bridgeport will provide:

• Rescheduled Harry’s U-Pull-It 602 Sportsman Grand Nationals – 100 laps

• 29 previously qualified cars remain locked in

• No additional entries will be accepted

Rose added, “All Sportsman teams are welcome to compete in the 20-lap Saturday prelim program, regardless of their Grand Nationals status.”

The Victory Fuel Wingless Sprint Cars (NEWS) will also compete on Saturday.

Sunday will feature complete STSS point-paying shows for both divisions.

STSS Modifieds

• Group time trials

• Heats and Comsi’s

• 60-lap Doug Hoffman Memorial feature – $6,060 to win

STSS Sportsman

• Full qualifying program

• 25-lap feature – $1,500 to win

Four-Cylinder Stock Cars will round out the Sunday card.

A Unique Weather Plan is in place,  “Sunday’s Rain Date is Saturday”. To protect the touring series programs, Bridgeport has implemented a proactive weather policy. If the forecast shows unfavorable conditions for Sunday, the full STSS program will be moved to Saturday, and the Saturday prelim races will be canceled.

“Yes, that’s correct, Sunday’s rain date is Saturday,” Rose explained. “We want teams to know early so they can plan. Realistically, the majority of Sunday teams would already be here to run Saturday anyway.”

Bridgeport plans efficient, three-division shows both days.Each day is limited to three divisions to ensure fast-paced programs while still presenting extended-lap marquee events. Early start times will be announced as the event approaches.

Following opening weekend at Bridgeport the regular point season begins:

• April 11 – Bridgeport weekly point season opener

• April 26 – Invasion of the new PA Posse 410 Sprint Series

Over the first few years of Doug Rose’s ownership, tire wear was an early concern at Bridgeport Motorsports Park. That issue was addressed quickly with the required 53 RR tire. While teams were initially skeptical, within just a few weeks the feedback shifted dramatically. Still, Rose wasn’t satisfied with simply managing tire wear, he wanted to eliminate it altogether.

Prior to both the 2024 and 2025 seasons, Bridgeport brought in pure white clay, effectively solving the problem. Tire wear became virtually nonexistent, even for Sprint Cars on the softer tires.

Another long-standing stigma surrounding Bridgeport was that it was “hard on engines.” The high banking produces some of the most intense racing in the Northeast, but it also keeps speeds up and the engines sustaining RPM. As the left side panhard and coil packages emerged, teams found themselves with plenty of mechanical grip and started searching for additional speed through engine RPM. Some teams pushed spec engines to 8,600–8,700 RPM, well beyond their intended limits.

To protect engine longevity, Bridgeport implemented an 8,000 RPM rev limiter for the 2025 season. The result was improved reliability across the board. Once again, problem solved.

When Bridgeport was originally built, Action Track USA partner Rich Tobias often said, “The top should be the preferred lane on every race track.” The philosophy is simple: when a track develops a dominant lane, which they all do, it is better off being at the top. Drivers are far more likely to leave the preferred groove and take the shorter route versus trying to go around the outside.

Over time, however, Bridgeport faced criticism for being “too top dominant.” In response, changes were made for the 2025 season. Transition was reduced entering turn one, and some of the steepness and curl was taken out of the top. Combined with the new clay, racing shifted to the bottom half of the track. Slide jobs faded, and passing became more traditional.

As the season progressed, the feedback shifted again. Drivers noted the difficulty of running the top like before, the lack of confidence entering high, and the reduced ability to throw sliders despite the banks still standing 20 feet tall.

For 2026, Bridgeport will restore the transition into the entrance of turn one. Drivers need their ass to squeeze into the seat to feel secure entering at a high speed just feet from the wall. That confidence comes from a proper transition. Additional material will also be added to the top to restore the curl that once existed.

Once the track is reshaped, Bridgeport will also approach track preparation differently in 2026. While the new clay eliminated tire wear, it initially increased dust. Throughout 2025, priority was placed on driver safety and fan experience. Visibility is critical for racing, and maintaining proper moisture early in the season was necessary.

As the year progressed, dust control improved as the new clay integrated with the existing surface. By season’s end, the track prep team began testing for 2026 by allowing the surface to evolve more naturally, with less aggressive work during intermission.

These tests proved to be successful. During the Danny Serrano weekend the track slicked off well during the 70 lapper and it was let go for the Sportsman feature. The track held up well, racers were running from top to bottom, and positive strong feedback was received. Test two was the 305 Nationals they had two 50 lap feature events and a 25 lap on the demanding schedule of features. The surface held up well with minimal dust and no tire wear concerns. Then came the Dirty Jersey Finale which had the track crew nervous with three Sprint Car events on the docket after intermission. No prep between any events, yet the surface remained Racey with zero rubbering and only normal feathering of tires after the last Sprint Car feature. The results confirmed the direction for 2026.

With the planned track changes and refined prep strategy, Bridgeport is confident racers will have multiple options across the surface. Fans can expect exciting, multi-groove racing with cars swarming top to bottom.

Most importantly, we look forward to everyone getting back to doing what matters most—having fun on Saturday nights at Bridgeport Motorsports Park.

Bridgeport Motorsports Park Adopts “Family Friendly” 2026 Schedule.

Bridgeport Motorsports Park operator Doug Rose is reshaping the track’s 2026 schedule with a strong emphasis on reducing racer burnout, improving affordability, and offering teams more flexibility. After analyzing participation trends in recent years, particularly the shifts in racer habits since COVID, Track operator Doug Rose said the goal was to create a schedule that accommodates both dedicated weekly racers and those seeking more balance between racing, costs, and family life while coordinating dates with nearby tracks to avoid conflicts.

We have released our 2026 schedule and built a program based around choice, while offering multiple pathways depending on how often teams want to race. The 2026 schedule is designed to give race teams more flexibility while maintaining a full slate of major events, says Rose.

14 points race format with same championship payout ($10,000 to the winner) is unheard of, but Bridgeport plans to do just that. 14 Modified points races in 2026, plus 4 major shows (two STSS events in March & July, and the Danny Serrano Weekend on Sept. 25–26). Teams will get two weekends off each month during the points season. Despite fewer events, the champion’s payout remains $10,000, matching 2025. Rose has coordinated non-conflicting dates with Delaware International, New Egypt, and Grandview so racers can choose to compete elsewhere if so chosen.

The 14 race Points Series while maintaining the $10,000 champion’s payout is designed for the racer who wants a manageable season with family time built in. For the racers seeking a bit more frequency Bridgeport has scheduled in 4 non points events all paying bigger money, two early season (Doug Hoffman Morial, STSS), 1 mid season (STSS), and one at the end (Danny Serrano Weekend).

For the “Go Every Week” Racers Bridgeport has no date conflicts with Delaware International (US 13) for teams that my chase two track championships in the same year. They have off nights for Grandview’s three major shows (Money Maker, Forrest Rogers, Freedom 76) allowing teams to race for the bigger money on a Saturday night. They have shared their off-nights with New Egypt Speedway, but with what has developed there in recent days may have made that a moot point. Word on the street was some guys were thinking of following the Super DIRTcar Series now they will still have the option to chase Bridgeport points due to the lighter schedule.

Modified Racers have asked Rose to modify a couple rules for 2026 and he has…

• The droop rule and no-spoiler rule used in 2025 are eliminated.
• Spec 358 small-blocks still capped at 8,000 RPM via chip or gear.
• The CT525 sealed crate engine must meet a 2,275-lb post-race minimum.

The Sportsman Division has not been forgotten and has also been given a breathable scheduled calendar. While the Sportsman division draws higher weekly car counts, only 11 teams ran every event in 2025 (less than the Modifieds) with the Kingdom of Speed seeing a whopping 92 different Sportsman teams compete during points events throughout the year.

To encourage full-season participation we have looked at where we can improve their schedule, exclaimed Rose. Sportsman will be off roughly once a month. The points season will begin April 11 and run through mid September with a Saturday off once in April, May, June, & September. July, Sportsman teams will have off twice. Bridgeport has built in a handful of bigger paying events for them as well. They will kick off the season March 20 and 21 with the conclusion of last years Sportsman Nationals plus a STSS Sportsman event. Mid-season they will have a second STSS event on the docket, September they are part of the always popular Danny Serrano Weekend and in October there will be a NEWLY FORMATTED Sportsman Grand Nationals presented by Harry’s U-Pull-It announced.

Bridgeport will continue the trend of a lighter schedule for all divisions Street Stocks, Four-Cylinders, MASS Sprints, and Wingless Sprints will continue with relaxed scheduling as they did in 2025. They have called on their friends with the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints to fill in some of the voids with five shows along with two 410 Sprint Car Shows and the return of the “Invasion of the Posse” event on April 26 as part of the new PA Posse Sprint Series.

Track Surface Improvements for 2026 have not been forgotten. Bridgeport will restore progression and banking to the high side for 2026 while late-season testing showed the new clay’s early-year dust issues have subsided. By allowing the track to slick off during the Serrano Weekend, 305 Sprint Car Nationals, and Dirty Jersey Finale, the dust remained manageable, indicating the silt from the new clay has finally worked itself out.

Rumors were swirling towards seasons end. Rose strongly dismissed rumors that Sprint Cars could replace Modifieds as the weekly headline division. Despite booming Sprint Car popularity, Modifieds will remain the premier weekly class, as they have since Bridgeport opened in 1972.

As Bridgeport continues to look ahead, they are aiming for a balanced, energizing, and racer-friendly 2026 season. “We are looking forward to a fun and exciting 2026 season at the Kingdom of Speed!” Rose announced.

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.
