THEY BUILT THE SPORT.
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ FRIDAY NIGHT,
THEY’RE OUR GUESTS.

This Friday, August 21, Linda’s Speedway is celebrating National Senior Citizens Day and the generations of race fans who helped make short-track racing what it is today.
The East Coast Legends return to Linda’s Speedway as part of our five-division Senior Night program.

The last time they were here, Travis McClelland charged from fifth to the win, with Hunter McElroy and Justin Wagaman completing the podium. Logan Jones came from eighth to fourth, while Annville’s Shjon Dove finished fifth.

Now they come back with the 2026 East Coast Legend championship battle still unfolding. Only 58 points separate the top three in the 2026 East Coast Legends standings heading into Friday night.

🏁 Logan Jones — 1,733
🏁 Hunter McElroy — 1,678
🏁 Owen Wagaman (R) — 1,675

And we’ve got a five-division Friday night waiting on The Quarter Mile:
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ • 270 Micro Sprints
• Chargers ​ ​ ​ • Legend Cars
• All Star & Junior Slingshots

Bring Dad. Bring Grandpa. Bring the person who introduced you to racing.

Linda’s Speedway has made the difficult decision to cancel Friday night’s racing program due to the statewide Code Purple Air Quality Alert.

When we began evaluating Friday’s event, Pennsylvania was under a Code Red forecast. As conditions worsened, the state upgraded Friday to a statewide Code Purple alert, meaning the air is expected to be unhealthy for everyone.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection advises all residents to avoid long or intense outdoor activity during a Code Purple alert. Children, older adults and those with respiratory conditions are advised to avoid outdoor activity entirely. The conditions may look different at different points of the day, but the overall concern remains the same: the health and safety of our racers, crews, staff, and fans has to come first.

“We understand the importance of every championship race. We wanted to race,” said Mike Batz. “We have raced through difficult circumstances, but Friday’s air-quality emergency developed quickly and created a different situation. There is a difference between battling the temperature and asking people to participate in exactly what the Commonwealth is advising residents to avoid. Determination is important, but it also has to be balanced with judgment.”

Every facility has different circumstances, resources, schedules and responsibilities when making that judgment. Linda’s Speedway made the decision it believed was necessary based on the conditions surrounding its own event.

Our competitors have invested time, effort and money into their seasons, and losing a points race is disappointing for everyone involved. This decision was not made casually.

As frustrating as this decision is, we also want to keep it in perspective. The smoke affecting Pennsylvania has traveled, in some cases, approximately 800 miles or more from fires burning in Canada and northern Minnesota. If the effects are this noticeable here in central Pennsylvania, it is difficult to imagine what residents, firefighters and communities closer to those fires are experiencing.

Our thoughts are with everyone directly affected by the wildfires, and we thank our racers, teams and fans for understanding a decision none of us wanted to make.

At this point I think my blood type is 32% brake clean 😂😂 “Late nights in (with) my car”

Finally had the heart to check out the points standings after this past weekend. We lost some ground but still maintain 7th spot of 33 cars in the track championship standings. 4 races to go and would love to climb into the top 5!! Let’s get it!! 🏁🔥

Friday night had its ups and downs. Started on the pole in the heat and held the lead for awhile and ended up 2nd. Drew 4th for the feature which put us behind a car that should not be starting outside pole but that’s a different subject. Ran two laps and the lid came open. Dropped like a rock and couldn’t buy a caution to try and get the lid closed. Finished 11th. On to next week

It’s race day baby!! We made it back from VA just in time to get the car ready!! See ya there!! 🏁🔥🤘🏼
