Written by Chris Moore

VERNON, NY – For the fifth time in his illustrious career, Matt Sheppard is the 2024 American Racer Cup Champion presented by Sunoco Race Fuels.

Sheppard and Hebert tied at 690 points, but Sheppard’s 12 wins carried over the edge, compared to Hebert’s nine at his Friday night home.

The American Racer Cup collects each racer’s 10 best finishes at their registered home track combined with a year-end starting field bonus to calculate a driver’s total points.

Written by Chris Moore

MILLSBORO, DE – For the fourth time in his illustrious career, Savannah, N.Y.’s Matt Sheppard is the 2023 American Racer Cup Champion presented by Sunoco Race Fuels.

After losing out on the 2022 championship on a tiebreaker, Sheppard left no doubt in 2023, with his 11 wins at Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, N.Y., netting him his first American Racer Cup Championship since 2019.

Sheppard was the only driver to reach the 700-point maximum threshold, completing the 2023 season with two wins in three nights at his Friday night home track.

The American Racer Cup collects each racer’s 10 best finishes at their registered home track combined with a year-end starting field bonus to calculate a driver’s total points.

In the event of a tie for the title, the established tiebreaker is a driver’s number of wins at the participating speedway between Friday, April 14 and Monday, Sept. 4.

In a rain-soaked season in which Utica-Rome Speedway only registered 15 features in the American Racer Cup season, Sheppard still clicked off the 11 wins to clinch the 2023 championship.

The title for Sheppard nets him a total of $11,000 from the American Racer Cup on behalf of presenting sponsors American Racer, distributor Lias Tire of Indiana, Pa., Sunoco Race Fuels and distributor Insinger Performance of Dushore, Pa.

A $36,000 purse is divided amongst the top-15 drivers in the overall Modified standings with $10,000 reserved for Sheppard, the overall champion. Sheppard also claims $1,000 as the North Region champion of the American Racer Cup.

Defending champion Ryan Godown settled for the runner-up spot this year after his stellar year at N.J.’s New Egypt Speedway. The Ringoes, N.J., native won six times this season at his Saturday night home, for a 655-point total and second place.

Godown takes home $6,000 as the runner-up in the overall standings and the South Region title.

Orefield, Pa.’s Brett Kressley came home third in the overall standings, just five points behind Godown. Kressley claimed three wins at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa., this season, enough for 650 points.

Kressley also finished seventh in the overall standings at Big Diamond Speedway in Minersville, Pa. In total, Kressley takes home $7,000 for his overall finishes, in addition to second and third, respectively, in the South Region standings.

For the first time ever, two Canadian tracks joined the American Racer Cup, and St. Damase, Quebec’s David Hebert came home fourth for his efforts at Autodrome Granby with 640 points. Hebert nets $4,250 as the runner-up in North Region standings and the overall fourth-place finisher.

A tie for fifth place rounds out the top five, as a pair of Woodhull (N.Y.) Raceway regulars notched 635-points each.

Ajay Potrzebowski and Joe Dgien each share the prize money for fifth and sixth in the overall standings and third and fourth in the North Region standings. In total, they’ll each receive $2,675 for their 2023 efforts.

Finishing eighth through 15th, respectively, were Jeff Strunk of Grandview Speedway (625 points – $1,850); Duane Howard of Big Diamond Speedway (624 – $1,500); Brett Tonkin of Afton (N.Y.) Motorsports Park (619 – $1,250); Craig Von Dohren of Grandview Speedway (617 – $900); Doug Manmiller, also of Grandview (610 – $800); Billy Pauch Jr. of New Egypt Speedway (606 – $700); and 14th and 15th both went to Louden Reimert at Big Diamond and New Egypt Speedway. Louden had 602 points at each track, netting $1,100 total.

On the Sportsman side, Durhamville, N.Y.’s Matt Janczuk notched his third consecutive American Racer Cup Championship at Utica-Rome Speedway.

Janczuk once again clicked off a 10-win season, achieving the maximum 700 points and earning a $2,000 paycheck for his championship efforts.

Upper Makefield, Pa.’s Joe Toth comes home as the runner-up with 670 points at the New Egypt Speedway. Toth collects $1,500 as the overall runner-up and the South Region champion.

Payton Talbot claims both the third and fourth (658 and 656 points) positions for his work at the Utica-Rome and Fonda speedways. Ultimately, Talbot takes home the biggest check from the Sportsman American Racer Cup, with a $2,050 paycheck for his efforts at both tracks.

Rounding out the top five was Kenny Peoples Jr. with 650 points at the Woodhull Raceway. Peoples Jr. nets a $700 total for his fifth-place finish.

The remainder of the top-15 were Logan Watt of Grandview Speedway (636 points – $850); Mike Schane of Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, Pa.

Record Year: Ryan Godown American Racer Cup Mod Champion, Matt Janczuk Tops Sportsman

Written by Chris Moore

MILLSBORO, DE – A record year.

For the first time in his career, Ryan Godown has been deemed champion of the 2022 American Racer Cup presented by Sunoco Race Fuels.

The Ringoes, N.J., resident’s record-setting season at Bridgeport (N.J.) Motorsports Park saw him win 12 times during the American Racer Cup season, the most of any driver at their registered home track.

The American Racer Cup collects each racer’s 10 best finishes at their registered home track combined with a year-end starting field bonus to calculate a driver’s total points.

In the event of a tie for the title, the established tiebreaker is a driver’s number of wins at the participating speedway between Friday, April 15 and Monday, September 5.

The American Racer Cup season began back on Friday, April 15 and concluded on Monday, September 5.

All of Godown’s 12 wins made a difference, as both Matt Sheppard and Craig Von Dohren eclipsed the 10-win mark during the American Racer Cup season, putting all three drivers at the maximum 700-point total.

The three-way tie was broken by Godown’s 12 wins, while Sheppard and Von Dohren both claimed 11 wins between April 15 and September 5.

Godown’s championship is worth $11,000 from the American Racer Cup on behalf of presenting sponsors American Racer, distributor Lias Tire of Indiana, Pa., Sunoco Race Fuels and distributor Insinger Performance of Dushore, Pa.

A $36,000 purse is divided amongst the top-15 drivers in the overall Modified standings with $10,000 reserved to Godown, the overall champion. Godown also claims $1,000 as the South Region champion of the American Racer Cup.

Craig Von Dohren and Matt Sheppard officially tie for the runner-up spot as the pair reached the maximum 700-points and had 11 wins at their home track. The two will split the total sum of second and third place in points, awarding them each $4,500.

Sheppard, a Utica-Rome Speedway (Vernon, N.Y.) entrant, will receive an extra $1,000 as the North Region champion, upping his total American Racer Cup earnings to $5,500.

Von Dohren meanwhile, a longtime Grandview Speedway regular in Bechtelsville, Pa., adds $750 to his total as the runner-up driver in the South Region standings, making his total $5,250 for his efforts at Grandview Speedway.

The Oley, Pa., resident also finished 15th in the overall standings, as an entrant at Big Diamond Speedway in Minersville, Pa. adding $500 to his pocket. His total earnings add up to $5,750 from the American Racer Cup.

Another Grandview Speedway driver falls in fourth, as Orefield Pa.’s Brett Kressley had a career season at the one-third-mile oval.

Kressley earns $3,500 as the fourth driver in overall points and $500 after finishing third in the South Region, bringing his Grandview total to $4,000.

Kressley, like Von Dohren, was also entered at Big Diamond Speedway and came home 10th in overall standings for his efforts there. Kressley’s Big Diamond Speedway season brings his total to $5,000 earned from the American Racer Cup.

Jeff Strunk, another Grandview Speedway regular, rounds out the top five in overall standings and comes home fourth in the South Region, making his total earned $2,850.

Finishing sixth through 15th, respectively, were Brandon Grosso of New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J. (638 points – $2,250); Billy Pauch Jr. of Bridgeport Motorsports Park (636 – $1,750); Duane Howard of Big Diamond (630 – $1,500); Rocky Warner of Fonda Speedway in Fonda, N.Y. (626 – $2,000); Brett Kressley of Big Diamond (625 – $1,000); Jake Dgien of Woodhull Raceway in Woodhull, N.Y. (623 – $1,400); Billy Decker of Utica-Rome (623 – $1,300); Brett Tonkin of Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, Pa. (618 – $950); Joe Dgien of Woodhull (618 – $600); and Craig Von Dohren of Big Diamond (614 – $500).

In Sportsman competition, Durhamville, N.Y.’s Matt Janczuk claimed his second consecutive American Racer Cup title with another dominant season at Utica-Rome Speedway.

Janczuk earned 12 wins during the American Racer Cup season, including a 10-race win streak at one point. Janczuk was the only driver to join the 700-point club in Sportsman competition, making him the overall and North Region champion.

Janczuk’s efforts earn him $2,000 total.

Fonda Speedway’s Chad Edwards comes home as the runner-up with a six-win season, good for a 680-point total. Edwards’ efforts reward him with $1,400.

Payton Talbot’s breakout season saw him earn success at both Utica-Rome and Fonda speedways.

Talbot finishes the season in third and fourth position for his seasons at the two speedways. Talbot earned 670 points at Utica-Rome and 665 points at Fonda.

Talbot’s dual-track performance earns him $1,850.

Grandview Speedway’s Brian Hirthler emerges from a tie for fifth with Big Diamond’s Brandon Edgar. The pair both ended the season with 660 points, with Hirthler’s five wins topping Edgar’s four.

Hirthler pockets $1,000 as the South Region champion and placing fifth overall.

The remainder of the top-15 were Edgar of Big Diamond (660 points – $850); Gary Smith of Five Mile Point Speedway in Kirkwood, N.Y. (645 – $500); Joe Toth of New Egypt (638 – $650); Ryan Godown Jr. of Bridgeport (635 – $500); Ray Leonard of Penn Can (623 – $250); Ryan Simmons of New Egypt (622 – $300); Brian Papiez of Bridgeport (620 – $150); Kenny Peoples Jr. of Woodhull (619 – $100); Chris Mackey of Utica-Rome (614 – $100); and Mike Schane of Penn Can (608 – $100).

The top-five drivers in the Modified division at all home tracks receive five free tires for first, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for fifth.

In the Sportsman division, home track champions receive three tires, second-place two tires and third receives one tire.

The American Racer Cup track champions are determined by a driver’s 10 best finishes at that track.

More than $51,000 in cash will be distributed to American Racer Cup participants.

One Month Remains: American Racer Cup Championship Battles Wind Down

Written by Chris Moore

MILLSBORO, DE – One month remains.

Only four weeks of racing remain in the 2022 American Racer Cup presented by Sunoco Race Fuels.

Ringoes, N.J.’s Ryan Godown has already locked himself into the maximum number of points attainable by a driver during the American Racer Cup Season.

A driver’s 10 best finishes at their American Racer home track from Friday, April 15 to Monday, Sept. 5 will be tallied. Bonus points are awarded to competitors at year-end, based upon the average number of cars starting feature events at their participating speedway.

Accumulated points based on finishes will be added with the car count bonuses to determine a final point total at season’s end.

Godown – having won a speedway record seven consecutive races at his registered home track of Bridgeport (N.J.) Motorsports Park – now has 10 wins to his credit this season at his home track.

With the bonus points added, Godown has reached the maximum 700 points. If his home track car count average remains above 24 cars, Godown will be guaranteed at least a share of the American Racer Cup championship.

Two other drivers appear in play for the 700-point maximum with four weeks left to go.

Craig Von Dohren, of Oley, Pa., currently has nine wins to his credit at Pa.’s Grandview Speedway, his registered home track. With one more win, Von Dohren will reach the 600-points along with his home track meeting the requirements for the 100 bonus points.

Von Dohren currently sits second in the standings at 690 total points.

Savannah, N.Y.’s Matt Sheppard also has nine wins this season at his registered home track of Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, N.Y.

Sheppard however will need a boost in the Utica-Rome Speedway car count for the last month to receive the 100-point boost along with a tenth win.

Utica-Rome’s car count average sits at 23.73, just shy of the 24-car average needed for the 100-point bonus.

Sheppard sits at 685 points, currently third in the American Racer Cup standings.

Orefield, Pa.’s Brett Kressley, another Grandview Speedway registered driver, sits fourth in the standings at 648 points and Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway driver Rocky Warner rounds out the top five at 626 points.

Registered Modified drivers are competing for a $10,000-plus championship at the end of the American Racer Cup season. The cash point fund for the Modifieds totals $36,000 – distributed to the top-15 in American Racer Cup points – in addition to tire certificate giveaways throughout the season.

There is an additional $5,700 in regional money available to Modified competitors thanks to Insinger Performance of Dushore, Pa.

On the Sportsman side of the American Racer Cup, Utica-Rome Speedway’s Matt Janczuk has rattled off seven consecutive wins, bringing his season total to eight.

Janczuk – the defending American Racer Cup champion – has 690 points, leading Fonda Speedway’s Chad Edwards by 10 points.

Edwards has six wins at the ‘Track of Champions’ to go along with four runner-up finishes. Fonda Speedway registered drivers however only have one more race to go before the Sept. 4 deadline for the American Racer Cup.

Payton Talbot has enjoyed a career year at both Fonda and Utica-Rome Speedway’s. Talbot – who is registered at both tracks – occupies third place with his work at Fonda Speedway (660 points), and fourth place with his success at Utica-Rome Speedway (658 points).

Brandon Edgar – a driver at Pa.’s Big Diamond Speedway – rounds out the top five at 650-points.

A $6,750 point fund is given out to the Sportsman at the end of the American Racer Cup season. With free product giveaways and Insinger Performance regional cash included, more than $10,000 is handed out to Sportsman racers.

Full point standings for the American Racer Cup can be found on the official website (www.theamericanracercup.com).

2022 American Racer Cup presented by Sunoco Hits Summer Stretch

Written by Chris Moore

MILLSBORO, DE – Summer stretch.

As the calendar flips to the month of June, weekly racers prepare for the ‘dog days’ of summer as the American Racer Cup presented by Sunoco Race Fuels standings begin to take shape.

Registered drivers for both Modified and Sportsman competition at each of the 13 American Racer Cup tracks are competing for the top prize in their respective divisions.

Registered Modified drivers are competing for a $10,000-plus championship at the end of the American Racer Cup season. The cash point fund for the Modifieds totals $36,000 – distributed to the top-15 in American Racer Cup points – in addition to tire certificate giveaways throughout the season.

There is an additional $5,700 in regional money available to Modified competitors thanks to Insinger Performance of Dushore, Pa.

A driver’s 10 best finishes at their American Racer home track from Friday, April 15 to Monday, Sept. 5 will be tallied. Bonus points are awarded to competitors at year-end, based upon the average number of cars starting feature events at their participating speedway.

Accumulated points based on finishes will be added with the car count bonuses to determine a final point total at season’s end.

Mother Nature has wreaked havoc in the early going on several American Racer Cup tracks, delaying their seasons hitting full swing, while other tracks have fired off without a hitch.

Defending champion Stewart Friesen leads the Modified in the early going, with a pair of wins to his credit at his Saturday night home, Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway. Friesen’s lead is slim however, as Belle Mead, N.J.’s Brandon Grosso continues his dominant ways at New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway.

Grosso has won five times at New Egypt, however two of those wins came prior to the beginning of the American Racer Cup season, giving Friesen the edge in the early going. Grosso’s Saturday night rival at New Egypt – Danny Bouc – currently sits third in the early going.

The Pipersville, Pa. native sits two points ahead of Duanesburg, N.Y.’s Ronnie Johnson, another Fonda Speedway regular. Savannah, N.Y.’s Matt Sheppard rounds out the top five, 48 markers behind Friesen at Friday night home of Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, N.Y.

A $6,750 point fund is given out to the Sportsman at the end of the American Racer Cup season. With free product giveaways and Insinger Performance regional cash included, more than $10,000 is handed out to Sportsman racers.

Fonda Speedway’s Chad Edwards leads the way in the early going in pursuit of the $1,500 top prize. Edwards holds a 40-point advantage over fellow Fonda regular Payton Talbot and 90-point advantage over Brian Calabrese. Fonda Speedway and Utica-Rome Speedway competitors occupy the top eight spots, dodging the raindrops that have affected several other tracks in the early going.
