SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Selinsgrove Speedway officials have announced the cancellation of the Tuesday, July 19, Anniversary Race. The next race at the track will be Saturday, July 23, featuring the 410 sprint cars, super late models, and roadrunners in the Jeff’s Auto Body Summer Championship/Armed Forces Appreciation Night.
After consulting with teams, track officials made the decision to cancel the mid-week July 19 race, citing ongoing tire and parts shortages as well as fuel cost increases that are affecting participation, and give more focus to the July 23 championship races.

The 25-lap main events for the 410 sprint cars and super late models will each pay $5,000 to win, $1,000 for fifth, and $400 to start. Tow money will be $200 for any driver who takes a green flag in the sprint car and late model divisions.
The annual Roadrunner 20 championship race will pay $500 to win.
