Path Valley Speedway lost part of our family on November 23, 2015
June O'Donnell passed on to a better place, and she will be sorely missed by all of us at the track. If you ever entered the pit gates June's smiling face was one of the first you would see. June and her husband, Ron, have been with Path Valley Speedway for 16+ years and we won't be the same without her.
Condolences and prayers to her family and friends.
Rest easy June and God Bless You.

Thank you to the following business's for their contributions during the off season. We appreciate their continued support in helping us upgrade the speedway.
Heaven gained another angel on December 21, 2016 as we learned of the passing of Austin Gelwicks. Gelwicks competed in the 4 Cyl. Thunder Car division and was the 2014 Rooke of the Year. He was a student at the Fannett Metal Junior-Senior High School. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and friends. His smiling face, and positive attitude will be sorely missed here at the speedway.
2018 Winter Speedway Upgrades
As the 2018 winter season approaches there are a few track upgrades/updates that will take place. Over 400 tons of clay has been delivered to the track in mid December which will be worked over the winter. A brand new section of catch fence will be constructed in turns 1&2 as phase 1 of the catch fence project gets underway.
New for 2018 are the Path Valley Speedway T-Shirts and window decals which will be available weekly here at the speedway. T-Shirt sizes range from small to 4X.
ULTIMATE NORTHEAST TO VISIT PATH VALLEY IN 2019
The Ultimate Northeast Super Late Model Series is hard at work putting together a great schedule for regional race teams for the 2019 season, and the series is pleased to announce the addition of the first ever series event at Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run, Pa., will take place on Friday, August 9th next season.
Path Valley Speedway Park, a high-banked 1/4 mile track known as "the little track with big action," will play host to its first Super Late Model event at the track in two seasons. The event should be a barn burner as that event saw Jason Covert win a nail-biter over Gregg Satterlee. The track regularly plays host to Limited Late Model events, but this will be a special appearance by the Super Late Models and the Ultimate Northeast Super Late Model Series.
"We are excited to have the return of the Super Late Models back to Path Valley after a two-year hiatus. The little track with big action never disappoints and we anticipate this race to be an on the edge of your seat event. We look forward to to working with the Ultimate Northeast Super Late Model Series this year as we present ,"The Night of Power," here at Path Valley Speedway," said track promoter Zach Crouse.
"After a great first season, the Ultimate Northeast Super Late Model Series is growing in 2019 and we are very pleased to add Path Valley to our schedule for next season. Path Valley always produces great action, and this show should be no different as Ultimate Northeast invades the 1/4 mile bullring," said Ultimate Northeast regional director Rose Compton.
When the schedule is finalized, the Ultimate Northeast Super Late Model Series will release the entire 2019 schedule, but be sure to mark your calendars for this special event, and the first-ever visit of the Ultimate Northeast to the Path Valley Speedway Park.

PATH VALLEY SPEEDWAY RELEASES 2019 SCHEDULE
Path Valley Speedway officials have released the 2019 schedule featuring racing every Saturday night at the ¼ mile, high banked clay oval. The most noticeable change in 2019 will be racing primarily on Saturday nights with only a few select Friday night special programs highlighted throughout the season. Saturday night’s racing action will also feature a change in the start time to 6PM verse the previous 7PM.
Celebrating 32 years in operation, Path Valley offers something for every type of race fan in 2019. Saturday nights will feature a wide variety of racing from stock cars to micro sprints weekly. The always exciting Wingless Super Sportsman Series will alternate each week with the Late Models along with the weekly micro sprint divisions, thunder cars, SCDRA Strictly Stocks, and alternating traveling series.
The speedway will host two practice days on March 9th & 16th for any division that wishes to participate. Opening day is slated for Saturday, March 23rd with the PASS/IMCA 305 Sprints, 270ccc & 600cc micros, 4 Cylinder Thunder cars, and 4 Cylinder Strictly Stocks highlighting the card.
The Mason Dixon Late Model series will make one of their first stops of the season at the ¼ mill bullring on Saturday, April 6th paying $1,500 to win. The series last visit to the speedway was on August 31, 2018 with Port Royal’s, Devin Hart victories over Brad McGinnis as the two went nose to nose for most of the race.
The Britton Finkenbinder Memorial will take place on Saturday, May 25th for the Wingless Super Sportsman division. Britton, a charismatic young man, avid race fan, and upcoming driver sadly lost his life on October 25th, 2018. His father, car owner, and longtime supporter of Path Valley Speedway, Clair Finkenbinder, is currently organizing the 40 lap spectacular main event. We will have more details posted as the event comes together.
On Saturday, June 22nd the Late Models will again go topless paying $1,000 to win. Last year Chambersburg’s, Randy Burkholder came out the victor in the first ever topless event. This year’s feature winner will also have a guaranteed starting spot in the Frank Sagi Tribute at Hagerstown Speedway the following evening. Special thanks to Alan Sagi and the Hagerstown Speedway for working with Path Valley on the deal.
The month of August heats up with possibly the most anticipated event of the season as the super late models return on Friday, August 9th with “The Night of Power” featuring the Northeast Ultimate Super Late Model series along with the 305 Sprints, and Mid-Atlantic Modifieds. This will be the super late models first time back to the bullring after a 2 year hiatus.
Starting off the month of August the USAC Midgets will make their one stop appearance at the speedway alongside the Wingless Super Sportsman series on Thursday, August 1st. The USAC Midgets last race at the speedway was in 2017 as last year’s awaited race fell victim to the rain. The 3rd annual Central PA Legends Summer Slam will take place on Saturday, August 3rd as some of the best legends drivers in the state will battle two and three wide for a cool $500 to win feature event. Jeremy Ott is the defending champion of the Central PA Legends Summer Slam.
Several travel series not mentioned above will also be making appearances at the speedway this season such as the Classic Racing Series, Penn Mar Vintage, and PA Micro Midgets. The speedway will also host two double header weekends this season with a bonfire one night. The season will wrap up with a two day final showdown on Friday, October 4th and Saturday, October 5th. Please note the schedule is subject to change without notice so please continue to check back for updates, and changes throughout the season.
As the winter off season continues so do the upgrades here at Path Valley. The most noticeable change this off season will be the replacement of the catch fence in turns 1&2. The speedway has hired Tyson Fencing to construct a brand new 12 foot catch fence around the turns as the catch fence replacement project gets underway here at the track. The remaining old catch fence around the track will be replaced in sections throughout the upcoming seasons.
