Bridgeport’s Ice Less 602 Sportsman, Insta Signs Plus Street Stock and Four Cylinders were joined by USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints and DCB’s Plumbing & Heating Mid Atlantic Sprint Series (MASS) for a full night of Saturday night action sponsored by Melton Industries.  The XCEL 600 Modifieds also returned for a night of action.

Matt Peck raced to his third win of the season in the Ice Less 602 Sportsman.  Rookie graduate, PJ Bozowski led the first eight laps before Jesse Hill took the lead on a lap nine restart.  Peck raced in second on lap ten and applied some pressure to Hill on several occasions.  A lap seventeen restart put Hill and Peck side-by-side for the green and that’s when Peck made his move.  Peck came out of turn four with the lead.

Jesse Hirthler was also on the move as he passed Hill for second with little more than five laps to go.

Peck raced to the win over Hirthler and point leader,  Joe Toth whose late race charge resulted in a third place finish.  Jesse Hill finished fourth followed by Jax Yohn.  Trent Willey in a new No. 17, Jimmy Wyers, Ronnie Solomon, Jimmy Leiby and Jordan Henn completed the top ten.  Both Leiby and Henn made their first Bridgeport starts with Henn filling the seat of the Dave Adams No. 37.

The USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints made their first Bridgeport appearance of the season and Mount Pocono, PA driver, Joey Amantea made it a clean sweep after winning both his heat race and feature where he lapped up to the fifth place car.

Ed Aiken led the first three laps before Amantea picked his way through the top five to challenge for the lead.  Once out in front, Amantea drove away from the field.  “I basically raced like someone was on my back bumper,” Amantea stated.  

There was plenty of action from second to fifth as Aiken battled among Steve Drevicki, Bobby Butler, Christopher Allen and Ronald Helmick.  

Amantea raced to the non-stop twenty-five lap victory over Drevicki, Butler, Aiken and Allen.  Helmick finished sixth followed by Thomas Radivoy, David Swanson, Bruce Buckwalter, Jr. and Mick D’Agostino.

Amantea used the night as a final shakedown before he heads to Indiana Sprint Week.

A good field of cars turned out for this event with drivers coming from as far away as Massachusetts and West Virginia.

DJ Tanner led from the green to the checkered to claim his first Bridgeport victory in MASS competition and became the first repeat winner in the 305 Sprints.  Eleven different drivers have won MASS feature events so far this season.

Cousins, Kenny Laureno and DJ Tanner made up the first row of the feature line-up with Tanner grabbing the lead on the start.  Tanner did it two times on two complete restarts before the first lap could be scored.  

Jeff Paulson quickly moved up to second followed by Troy Betts and Buddy Schweibinz.  Schweibinz raced into third around halfway and set his sights on Paulson.  Schweibinz took over second after racing with Paulson for two circuits just before the five to go sign.

With three laps to go, Schweibinz slowed with a suspected driveline issue. 

Tanner raced to the checkered over Paulson and Betts.  Kevin Nagy raced to a fourth place finish after starting at the back of the field.  Laureno finished fifth for his best result of the season.  Dave Brown, Cody West, Dan Leaper, Rick Stief and  RJ Panella completed the top ten.

Unlike many of his competitors, Tanner had no prior racing experience prior to this 2022 season with MASS.  No quarter midgets, go karts or micros but he was named as the MASS Rookie of the year that season.

Mike Hughes started from the outside of the front row and raced to is eighth win of the season in the Insta Signs Plus Street Stocks.  Gary Bozowski chased Hughes all the way to the checkered to finish second over Christopher Allen, Sr., Scott Freed and Nick Sandone, III.

It was win number six for Eric Degler in the Four Cylinder main event.  Lee Allen finished second followed by Roger Kummerer, Jim Backowski and Jon Parker.  

Korey Inglin was the winner of the Xcel 600 Modified feature event over Bobby Butler and Tyler Fronina.

After weeks of weather delays, Joey Amantea finally got the green light to unleash the JPA Masonry No. 88j—and he made every lap count at Bridgeport Motorsports Park.

With 21 Innovative Machining Technology USAC 360 Sprint Cars signed in, anticipation was high. Two heat races kicked off the night, with victories going to David Swanson and Amantea—both making their season debut in impressive fashion.

The feature redraw placed Ed Aikin (Lincoln University) and “The Boyertown Bullet” Ronald Helmick on the front row for the 25-lap main event. As the green flag waved over the 4/10-mile high-banked oval, Aikin jumped to the early lead. But it didn’t take long for fourth-starting Amantea to go to work.

By Lap 6, Amantea powered to the front, executing a decisive move past Aikin. Once in clean air, he never looked back.

While Amantea checked out from the field, the battle for second became the highlight of the race. Aikin, Helmick, tenth-starting Bobby Butler, points leader Steven Drevicki, and Chris Allen engaged in a thrilling, high-speed chess match, trading slide jobs and positions in spectacular fashion.

With six laps to go, Amantea encountered heavy lapped traffic. Despite a few close calls that had fans holding their breath, the young Mount Pocono native maintained control and built an impressive—and unknown to him—six-second lead.

The feature went caution-free, and Amantea flashed under the checkered flag for his first USAC 360 Sprint victory of the season. Drevicki charged from sixth to finish second, while Butler earned hard charger honors with a run from tenth to third. Aikin held strong for fourth, and Chris Allen (Old Bridge, NJ) rounded out the top five.

Amantea’s performance was nothing short of dominant—proving once again why he’s called The Big Show.

MARTZ, JR RACES TO BRIDGEPORT VICTORY

Solomon, Fulper & Heckman Earn High Banks Wins

Sammy Martz, Jr. learned from previous experience and raced to his first win of the season on the High Banks of the Bridgeport Motorsports Park on CAR Tools night at the track.

Ronnie Solomon, III found his way back to the Insta Signs Plus Victory Lane in a Ice Less 602 Sportsman feature riddled with caution flags and restarts.  JR Fulper took the lead in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints as he raced Wayne Scott to the checkered flag.  Kevin Heckman held off the challenges of Spider Ensinger, Jr. to win his first ever feature event in the Insta Signs Plus Street Stocks.

Brian Papiez and Ryan Krachun led the field to the green in the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified feature with Papiez leading the way through the first nine laps.  Krachun raced in the leader’s tracks until he was able to take the lead on lap ten.  

With Krachun out in front, Martz, Jr. was picking his way through the top five, moving up to second on lap fourteen.  Two restarts on lap fifteen gave Martz two different looks at the lead.  Krachun took the outside for the first but then switched to the inside on the next attempt.  Martz was ready and came away with the lead.

Lap sixteen saw a three wide battle for second as Krachun, HJ Bunting and Dillon Steuer raced for position.   Krachun took the spot with Steuer challenging. With ten laps to go Martz, Jr. led Keachun, Steuer, Bunting and Sam Martz, Sr. who was battling with Cale Ross for fifth.

Ross took fifth on lap twenty-three as Steuer was still working the inside to challenge Krachun for second. 

The caution waved on the final lap when Blaine Bracelin slowed with a tire issue. It was a one lap shootout for the win with Martz, Jr. taking the checkered.  Steuer took second over Krachun, Bunting and Ross.  Martz, Sr. finished sixth followed by Stan Frankenfield, Mike Lisowski, Brandon Grosso and Mike Franz.

Ronnie Solomon, III led every lap to win his second Ice Less 602 Sportsman feature of the season.   And don’t be fooled by his starting position  – Solomon led the way through more than a dozen restarts, driving away each time.

Current point leader, Joe Toth made some late race moves to finish second.  Luke Bunting finished third followed by Travis Hill and Jesse Hill.  Trent Willey finished sixth after running among the top five for most of the race.  Jesse Hirthler gained several spots in the final laps to finish seventh over Charley Cossaboone, Jax Yohn and Matt Peck.

 JR Fulper saved his best for last as he raced to the win in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints for his second win of the season.   Fulper made the change from a Modified to a wingless sprint for the 2025 season. 

Wayne Scott is a recent addition to this division and was enjoying his best outing to date as he led from the start.  Fulper moved into second on lap four and chased Scott throughout the race.

Fulper had looked to the inside several times but on the last lap and the final corners, he went to the outside and won the drag race to the checkered.

Scott finished second for his best effort to date.  Dan Leaper finished third over Stan Ploski III and defending champion, Brian Spencer.

The Insta Sign Plus Street Stocks saw Kevin Heckman race to his first ever win.  Gary Bozowski led the first two laps with Heckman leading laps three and four.  Mike Hughes took over on lap five but his race ended with a mechanical failure on lap nine. Heckman regained the lead and then held off the challenges of Spider Ensinger, Jr.  Nick Sandone took over third from Borowski late in the race.

270 Micro Sprint Champion, Alex Swift took his first ride in a Vintage Modified

The 2025 season marked a change of venue for father and son drivers, Kevin and Jesse Hirthler.  On Saturday night, both Kevin and Jesse Hirthler got to share a relatively rare event with their family and friends as they both won their first features at the Bridgeport Motorsports Park.

Saturday’s races were sponsored by SY Murray Performance and it is only fitting that it is a Murray powerplant under the hood of the No. 117.

Kevin Hirthler’s name can be found in the record books of many different area tracks, including Bridgeport’s old 5/8th mile surface.  Saturday night’s win marked his first win on the High Banks of the Bridgeport Motorsports Park.  It has been a few seasons since Hirthler picked up a win in his Pioneer Pole Building sponsored Modified.  “This track can beat up an old guy like me,” Hirthler exclaimed following his win.  “This track is tough – you have to run as fast as you can.”  Hirthler led a race earlier this season only to be passed on a late race restart but he learned those lessons well.

Hirthler’s win in the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds came over third generation driver, Billy Osmun who had several restarts to challenge for the lead but Hirthler rallied each time.  Three-time feature winner and current point leader, Dillon Steuer finished third, challenging Osmun all the way to the finish.  Mike Lisowski, also making this his first season at Bridgeport, finished fourth with Neal Williams in fifth.  

The Ice Less 602 Sportsman feature followed the Modified main event.  Jesse Hirthler drove his No, 117 onto the track so that he could share in his dad’s Insta Sign Plus Victory Lane before taking his place in the starting line-up of the next feature.

Austyn Myers took the early race lead with challenges coming from Charley Cossaboone.  By lap four, the top three spots were held by graduates of the 2025 DA’s Auto Body & Repair Rookie class as Rookie Champion, Mike Hughes led the way over Myers and Cossaboone.  Trent Willey and Hirthler completed the top five at this point.

Hughes led through lap ten as Hirthler closed in on the leader.  Hirthler had the No. 117 out in front on lap eleven as Matt Peck moved up to second.  Willey took over third on lap fourteen.

As the laps counted down, Hirthler caught the back of the field and lapped traffic played a role in the final laps.  Hirthler concentrated on hitting his marks and led the way to the checkered for the win over Peck, Willey, Cossaboone and Billy Chester.  Travis Hill finished seventh followed by Hughes, Jax Yohn, Joe Toth and Myers.

Thomas Radivoy set a new benchmark in the Victory Fuel Wingless Sprints by being the first to win three times this season.  

Polesitter, Dan Leaper led the first lap of the feature event before Radivoy took the lead.  Radivoy led every lap to the checkered followed by Stan Ploski III, defending champion, Brian Spencer, David Swanson and Jonathan Swanson.  

Pulling double duty, Mike Hughes raced to the win, in the Insta Signs Street Stocks with a hard charging Bailey Tolson finishing in second.  Kevin Heckman finished third to capture the final podium spot.

Joe Garey, Sr. started the Insta Signs Plus Four Cylinder feature as the race leader but Eric Degler had his No. 1 out in front before the field reached the stripe to complete the first lap.  The racing action centered in the positions behind the leader as Garey, Sr., Roger Kummerer, Lee Allen and Joe Garey, Jr. 

Degler took the win with Kummerer winning the race for second over Garey, Sr.  After battling throughout the race, Lee Allen finished fourth followed by Joe Garey, Jr.

The Delaware Super Trucks made their first ever appearance on the High Banks and the drivers found the track to their liking.  Sean Martinez raced from last to first to take the win in the final laps over 

LJ Walbert, TJ Williams, Steve Portillo and Chase Carter.

#ponymovie #kingdomofspeed #sprintcar #dirttrackracing #bridgeportspeedway #southjersey

The ageless veteran, Wayne Weaver, raced to the win in the Double Down Showdown for the Ice Less 602 Sportsman in Bridgeport Saturday night action.  The 602 Sportsman had the spotlight on this night with their special forty lap main event that paid double the purse in each position.  

Justin Grosso earned his first Bridgeport victory in the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified feature win.  Mike Hughes did double duty and came away with two wins – his third win in the DA’s Auto Body & Repair Rookies and his sixth win of the season in the Insta Signs Plus Street Stocks.  Scott Degler came away with his fourth win in the Four Cylinder feature event with racing sponsored by John Blewett Inc. Scrap and Metal.

Just two weeks earlier, Wayne Weaver won his first feature event of the season and his first win in nearly a year to the date of his last win.  Weaver had expressed his reluctance to race on that particular night – things had not been going well and the thought of a night off was appealing.  But when his brother produced a carburetor that he was anxious to try on the No. 0, Weaver relented.  In the end, one more win to his credit, he was glad he did.  

Now two weeks later, Weaver stood in Victory Lane with one of the biggest wins of his second career.  After years in the Modifieds, Weaver switched to the Sportsman competition.

Polesitter, Howie Finch led the first lap before Matt Peck raced into the lead on lap two.  Jess Hirthler raced in second until Travis Hill took over second on lap seven.  Weaver drove up to third on lap eleven.  

On lap seventeen, Peck slowed, bringing out the caution when a tire came off the bead on the No. 51.  Peck returned to restart at the rear of the field.  Travis Hill was the new leader followed by Weaver, Jax Yohn, Hirthler and Steve Kemery.

As the race neared the lap thirty mark, Weaver began to close in on Hill.  Hill led with ten to go but then pushed up the track in turn two, allowing Weaver to take the lead.  Hirthler advanced to third.  A few laps later, Hirthler was up to second.

Hill was involved in a multi-car incident on the backstretch that also involved Thomas Prychka just three laps from the checkered,

The sixty-five year old Weaver drove to the win followed by the eighteen year old, recent high school graduate, Jesse Hirthler.  Steve Kemery finished third followed by Joe Toth and Jax Yohn.  Matt Peck rebounded for a sixth place finish followed by Luke Bunting, Duncan Molesworth, Matt Ellery and Billy Chester.

Justin Grosso raced to his first Bridgeport win in the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds after taking the lead on a lap seven restart.  Justin has proven to be a strong competitor on the High Banks this season.

Mike Franz and Mike Lisowski led the field to the start with Franz taking the early lead.  Franz led the first six laps until the racing came to a stop after Brian Papiez took a nasty ride in turn two.  Papiez escaped injury and the field lined up for the restart.  Grosso took the lead and began to pull away from the field, taking advantage of the clean air in front of the leader.

Billy Osmun III raced into second and had Dillon Steuer and Sam Martz battling for position behind him.  When Steuer finally cleared Martz for third, he turned his attention to Osmun.  Steuer repeatedly raced to the inside of the third generation driver but Osmun was tenacious and pulled ahead as they exited the turn.  With just six laps to go, Steuer finally took over second but Grosso was out of reach at that time.

Grosso raced to the victory over Steuer, Osmun, Sam Martz and HJ Bunting. Ryan Krachun finished sixth followed by Cale Ross, Sammy Martz, Jr., Neal Williams and Mike Franz.

Grosso expressed his preference for a rougher race track.  “I really like a rough race track,” Grosso explained.  “I prefer to drive the car straight and that’s how you have to run through the rough.”  And he did so successfully.

Mike Hughes scored a pair of wins on Saturday night.  First, he won his third DA’s Auto Body & Repair Rookie feature.  Polesitter, Austyn Myers led the first two laps before Hughes raced into the lead.  Myers went on to finish second followed by PJ Bozowski and Charley Cossaboone.  Only one more race remains in the Rookie season and the title has yet to be decided.

Hughes went on to win his sixth race in the Insta Signs Plus Street Stocks.  Hughes raced by polesitter, Gary Bozowski and then Bailey Tolson to take the lead on the first lap.  Hughes led all the way to the checkered with Tolson posting another strong second place run.  Kevin Heckman finished third followed by Nick Sandone III and Gary Bozowski.

Scott Degler led every lap of the John Blewett Inc. Four Cylinder feature to capture the win over Joe Garey, Jr.  Roger Kummerer raced by Joe Garey, Sr for third with Colin Gale completing the top five at the checkered.
