Satterlee, Sweigart, and Garman All Pick Up Wins During Accelerated Program At Port Royal Speedway

Port Royal, PA -- The Speed Palace announced Friday afternoon that it would be in "hurry-up mode" due to impending rain forecasted to hit the local area during the racing program. The track moved up the starting time and wasted little time throughout the program to complete 5 scheduled A-main events as well as 10 qualifying heat races and B-mains to complete the event in timely fashion. When the dust settled, Gregg Satterlee, Nick Sweigart, and Jaxton Garman all would park in Kish Bank Victory lane in their respective divisions.

The night began with completing 2 make-up A-mains from the previously scheduled April 4th event that saw the night cut short due to rain.

The Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint cars would start the night with their 20-lap feature event. Jarrett Cavalet and Braeden Varner would compose the front row of the race with Cavalet taking on the early advantage.

Cavalet would lead the opening 4 laps of the race before Kenny Heffner would charge around to his outside off of turn 2 to take the race lead.

When it seemed like Heffner would potentially run away with the feature win, a caution would come out with just 3 laps to go for a broken Timmy Bitner on the front straightaway.

On the ensuing restart, Cavalet would get a great start, hanging right with Heffner and passing by the race leader on the outside going down the backstretch.

Heffner though, not to be denied, would drive back underneath Cavalet, powering by and take the lead back.

Heffner would hold off Cavalet for the final 2 laps to pick up the first feature win for the 305s at Port Royal Speedway in the 2026 season.

Cavalet would hold on to the 2nd position and Cole Dewease would round out the top 3.

The River Rock Campground and RV Park limited late models would come to the stage next with DJ Myers and Lane Snook starting on the front row.

Snook, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway limited late model track champion, would flex his muscles in the make-up A-main, getting out in front early and never looking back.

Snook would lead all 20 laps and go on to pick up his first Port Royal Speedway win of 2026.

DJ Myers and Andrew Yoder would round out the top 3.

The Penske Racing Shocks super late models would take to the track next for their A-main event, following the completion of heat races and B-mains, with Gregg Satterlee and Opening Day winner Trever Feathers making up row one.

Satterlee would getting the opening jump on the initial green flag and stretch his lead to over 3-seconds over Feathers.

The feature event would be a non-stop race from start to finish, meaning that Satterlee would have to parse his way through lapped traffic, which allowed Feathers to close the gap in the waning laps of the race.

While Feathers would close the gap to down under 8-tenths of a second, Satterlee would be too strong getting through the slower cars to hold on for the win.

Feathers would finish in the runner-up spot and Clay Harris would round out the top 3.

The second A-main event for the Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint cars would see Mike Alleman and John Braim make-up the front row.

Alleman would power to the front of the field at the drop of the green flag, with Nick Sweigart quickly getting past Braim for the 2nd position.

The Port Royal driver would lead the opening 8 laps before the 2025 track champion Sweigart would track him down on the backstretch and take the race lead away.

Following quickly behind, Ken Duke Jr. would go by Alleman for the 2nd spot and set his sights on Sweigart for the race lead.

Within 3 quick laps, Duke Jr. had caught up to Sweigart and would bypass him in turn 1 to become the new race leader with 8 laps remaining.

With the 2 cars battling through lapped traffic, Sweigart would hang right with Duke Jr. over the next 4 laps. Sweigart would attempt to make a pass back for the top spot in turn two, where the cars would come together, sending Duke around the ring and ending his race night.

Sweigart would escape the contact relatively unscathed and would hold on after the race returned to green for the feature win.

Tyler Erdley would finish the race in 2nd and Mike Alleman would round out the top 3.

The final feature of the night would be the 2nd for the limited late models. Meade Hahn and Jaxton Garman would be the front two cars of the 20-lap A-main event with Garmin getting out to the early race lead.

Garman would go on to lead all 30 laps and earn his first career Port Royal Speedway victory. Garmin would hold off the likes of DJ Myers and current track champion Lane Snook for the event win.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in action on Saturday April 25th for the Keith Kauffman Classic for the Weikert's Livestock 410 sprint cars as a part of the J&S Classics PA Posse 410 Sprint Car Series presented by Hoseheads.com. The event will also feature the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars and the wingless super sportsman.
