Port Royal Speedway Set for Exciting Keith Kauffman Classic This Saturday
Port Royal, PA -- Port Royal Speedway is set to honor one of its all-time greats in a major way this Saturday with the running of the Keith Kauffman Classic. The night will feature enhanced payouts and fan-focused activities for what is the first BIG night of many more to come at the track this season.
The Weikert’s Livestock 410 sprint car drivers will be racing for even more money than originally posted, thanks to an influx of bonus awards from several generous sponsors. The feature winner will now take home an additional $1,000 on top of the already impressive $15,000 payday, courtesy of FBF Gas & Convenience Store. Second place will receive a $500 bonus from Treen Box & Pallet, while third will collect an extra $500 thanks to Valley View Poultry Farms.
Heat race competition will also carry added incentives, as each heat race winner will earn a $250 bonus, made possible by Wray’s Landscaping, B&B Sealcoating, Modern Home Realty, and Big Daddy’s Grill & Chill. Additionally, the first non-qualifier in the B-main will receive $250 courtesy of AnthonyMacriMerch.com.
Drivers competing for these contingency bonuses must display a special K33 decal during racing activities. The decals will be provided at the speedway.
Fans can also anticipate a competitive field of 410 sprint cars as the event is a part of the J&S Classics PA Posse 410 Sprint Series presented by Hoseheads.com that has yet to see a repeat winner through 5 races so far in 2026.
Beyond the on-track action, fans will have plenty to enjoy throughout the evening. A fully restored K33 sprint car, famously driven by Keith Kauffman to numerous victories at Port Royal, will be on display. Fans will also have the opportunity to meet Kauffman during a special autograph session, featuring exclusive hero cards, Kish Bank has provided exclusive shirts for the event that will be thrown out to fans throughout the event, and additional Kauffman-themed giveaways inside the Port Royal Speedway Ministries Fan Zone.
The night’s racing program will also include appearances by the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars and the always exciting wingless super sportsman, making for a diverse and action-packed card.
