Fab4 Racing Returns Friday Night; Dirt.TV 3-Wide Series Continues Sunday
Sarver, PA (June 5, 2025) Racing returns this weekend to Lernerville Speedway with a two event weekend on tap. Fab4 Racing Revved UP with Marburger Farm Dairy is set to make its return on Friday night while the inaugural Dirt.TV 3-Wide Sunday Series will continue with round three on Sunday evening, giving fans and drivers two great chances to make their way to The Action Track. Mother Nature has had a firm grip on the 2025 season thus far as just two Friday night programs have been completed thus far while our Sunday series has a 50% success rate versus the weather to this point with one of the two scheduled races getting the show in completely.
On Friday night, Fab4 racing of a different kind will be on the docket as the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars, Glassmere Fuel Service Late Models and Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro stocks will all be in action while the Diehl Automotive Big Block Modifieds will have the night off to allow drivers to participate in a previously scheduled BRP Mod Tour race elsewhere. Taking their place on Friday night will be the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Late Models who will be joining the racing action in a City Chevrolet Weekly Series race. This will be the second appearance for the RUSH Late Models in 2025 as they prepare for the upcoming $20,000-to-win Bill Emig Memorial as part of the Firecracker 100 race weekend. On May 16, veteran pilot Daryl Charlier crossed first under the checkers, besting the 14 car field on hand in RUSH Late Model action.
Thus far, the Peoples Sprint Cars have seen three different drivers make their way to Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane with The Steel City Outlaw aka Tim Shaffer, national touring driver Parker-Price Miller and regional heavy hitter Brandon Spithaler all posting wins thus far in 2025. Veteran pilot Carl Bowser leads the current point standings by four markers over eight time and defending champion AJ Flick and 13 points ahead of young Jacob Begenwald whose early season results have shown a great deal of promise thus far.
The Glassmere Fuel Service Late Models return for just their second appearance of the season following a week off last Friday night and having last competed on Friday, May 9. And what a night it was. Six time track champion Alex Ferree and Logan Zarin seemed to be locked into a duel for the feature win until untimely contact between Ferree and Michael Norris derailed Ferree's hopes. Zarin and Norris battled to the final set of turns but locked into each other with hard contact coming out of turn four turned out to take away their chances as former two-time champion Ken Schaltenbrand snuck by on the inside to pass both Zarin and Norris to collect the Opening Night victory. Schaltenbrand brings a two point lead into Friday night ahead of Zarin and a five point advantage over Jared Miley who is currently situated third in the standings.
The Diehl Automotive Big Block Modifieds have also completed three feature events in 2025 with Canadian sensation Mat Williamson taking two of the first three wins and Rex King Jr. taking the Opening Night win. King brings just a single point lead into Friday night over 2024 champion Garrett Krummert as the two drivers look to continue their nip and tuck battle to Championship Night in August. Veteran pilot Dave Murdick finds himself currently third, just three points off the lead in Fab4 racing action. Meanwhile, the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stocks have seen two features thus far with invader Curt J. Bish and Tyler Schneider each taking checkered flags this season. With defending champion Christian Schneider seemingly out of the mix for Pro Stock title contention, the door is wide open to crown perhaps another new champion in 2025. Cody Koteles brings a seven point lead with him with Tyler Schneider and Chris Schneider both within striking distance heading into action Friday night.
Pits will open at 4 PM on Friday with grandstands opening at 5 PM and racing scheduled to start at 7:30 PM. General admission will be $20 while children 10 and under will be admitted free as always. On Sunday, Pits will open at 2 PM with grandstands opening at 3 PM and racing scheduled to take the green flag at 4 PM. Both events will be available LIVE on our streaming network at Dirt.TV. Monthly subscriptions which allow access to a month's worth of Lernerville Speedway racing events and much more is just $24.99 and there's great savings to be had with our annual subscription ($149.99) which includes virtually all racing at Lernerville plus all other content and archive access. We look forward to seeing you both on Friday and Sunday!
