PORT ROYAL, PA – July 7, 2025 – Port Royal Speedway has issued a formal suspension to driver Taylor Farlling following the on-track incident that took place during competition at the track on Saturday, June 28, 2025.
After a thorough review of the events and in accordance with Port Royal Speedway’s Personal Conduct Rules, it was determined that Mr. Farlling used his race car in an aggressive and dangerous manner, violating the track’s standards for driver safety and sportsmanship. The incident involved actions deemed by track officials as using a race car as a weapon — an egregious offense that the speedway takes with the utmost seriousness.
As a result, the following sanctions have been imposed on Mr. Farlling:
- He is banned from all racing activity at Port Royal Speedway for the remainder of the 2025 season and the entirety of the 2026 season.
- A fine has been issued and must be paid to Port Royal Speedway prior to the start of the 2027 race season. That money will then be directed to the York County Racing Club’s Injured Driver’s Fund.
- Before being eligible to return to competition, Mr. Farlling must meet with the track’s race committee following the conclusion of the 2026 season to determine if reinstatement is appropriate.
These actions are being made public not only to clarify the severity of the situation but also to reinforce the speedway’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment for all competitors, crew members, and fans.
Port Royal Speedway sent notice of the suspension to Farlling through mail last week to notify him of the decision.
Port Royal Speedway wants to encourage all other tracks in the area and around the country to follow the same course of action regarding issues of this matter. The speedway remains committed to upholding the integrity of the sport and ensuring a safe racing environment for everyone involved.
