Port Royal, PA — Dylan Cisney entered the 2025 season without a full time 410 sprint car ride. He picked up the job with the Stewart Smith racing on August 16th and in just two races behind the wheel, Cisney was able to pick up a win. Dylan Cisney would lead the final 11 laps on Saturday night to pick up his 10th career victory at Port Royal Speedway.

Dylan Cisney and T.J. Stutts would start on the front row of the 25 lap A-main event, and Cisney would jump out to the early lead.

Though Cisney would jump out to the early advantage, he didn’t run away from the field with both Stutts and Blane Heimbach staying within striking distance of the leader.

With just 4 laps completed, Heimbach, who was now in the second spot, would attempt a pass on the bottom lane of turns one and two on Cisney.

Heimbach, who was unable to complete the pass, would stick with Cisney over the next three laps, before completing the pass for the lead with 17 laps remaining.

Cisney, after losing the lead, would keep Heimbach in his sights over the next 6 laps. While continuing to use the top lane of the corners, Cisney would mount a charge back by Heimbach for the lead with 11 laps remaining.

All the while Heimbach and Cisney battled for the lead, Ryan Newton would be charging from his 16th starting position to be in the third spot and quickly running down the top two cars.

Just as Cisney took the lead back, Newton would slide underneath Heimbach in turn one to take the runner up spot away and starting charging down Cisney for the top spot.

After already facing challenges from Heimbach early in the race, Cisney would play great defense on Newton’s challenges to his inside in the first and second corner, while also taking his preferred line away on the top side of turns three and four.

While Cisney and Newton began to start waging war for the winner’s spot, T.J. Stutts looked to get back in the mix after falling outside the podium positions.

Stutts would get by Heimbach and pull alongside Newton with 7 laps remaining and be within a tenth of a second from Cisney as the three cars tussled for the win.

The three leaders looked like they might go three wide battling for the lead with 6 laps to go when the caution lights would come on around the race track for a stopped Derek Hauck in turn three.

Once the accident was cleared, Cisney would stick his car close to the wall in turns one and two to keep Newton at bay.

Newton would look to go up to the top lane as well but his wheels would catch the outside wall, slowing his momentum, and allowing both Stutts and Heimbach to pass him for position.

In this late race situation, Heimbach’s car seemed to surge back to life. After getting by Newton, Heimbach would charge passed Stutts for the runner up spot and look to go back to work on Cisney like he did on the opening laps.

Heimbach would be all over Cisney for the lead, looking to his inside multiple times over the last 4 laps, but just couldn’t get enough speed and grip to make the pass.

Cisney would hold on for the $5,000 win, marking his 10th at The Speed Palace in his career.

Heimbach would finish in the runner up spot and Newton would fight his way back to round out the top three.

Newton would claim the Ramsey’s Car Wash Hard Charger honors for his run from 16th to 3rd.

Lynton Jeffrey would earn the J&S Classic Warrior Award after the 15 pill was drawn in victory lane.

For the Penske Racing Shocks super late model edition of the Butch Renninger Memorial Race, Gregg Satterlee would etch his name in the race’s record books for a leading 6th time on Saturday night.

Matt Cosner and JT Spence would make up row one of the 33 lap A-main event with Cosner getting the early advantage.

Cosner would lead the opening 7 laps before a caution would come out around the race track for a slowing Tyler Bare in turn two.

On the restart, Cosner would have to ward off challenges from both Rick Eckert and Gary Stuhler who were running 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Cosner would do just that and hold onto his lead until there were just 10 laps remaining.

Gregg Satterlee would begin picking his way through the field from his 8th starting position and would get to 2nd with 16 laps remaining but would need to close the gap on the leading Cosner.

With 10 laps remaining, Satterlee would charge passed Cosner to the inside and would not look back for the $7,333 payday.

Cosner would hold on to the the 2nd position and Rick Eckert would finish in 3rd.

With his 3rd place finish, Rick Eckert would also claim the 2025 Port Royal Speedway track championship in the Penske Racing Shocks super late model division.

For the Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models, all the excitement would be saved for the final lap of the race.

Lane Snook would start in the 2nd position of the 25 lap feature, but would take the lead immediately and look to be the car to beat.

However, when the caution flag would wave on the white flag lap, Tyler Bare would be given his shot to steal the win away, and he would do just that.

As the field came back to life after the caution, Snook would leave a lane on the bottom side of turn one that was just wide enough for Bare to drive his car to the inside and slide up in front of Snook for the lead.

Bare would charge away from Snook on the final half lap and pick up his first Butch Renninger Memorial Race win in limited late model competition worth $3,333.

Snook would finish in 2nd and Jaxton Garmin would round out the top 3.

With his runner up finish, Snook claims the 2025 track championship at Port Royal Speedway in Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late model competition.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action on Monday September 1st for the 74th Annual Foss Jewelers of Lewistown Labor Day Classic featuring the Weikert’s Livestock 410 sprint cars racing for $7,300 to win and the FWD 4-Cylinders supporting the show.
