PORT ROYAL, PA (July 26, 2026) — Giovanni Scelzi broke a winless streak of almost one year in a big way on Sunday night by winning the $100,000 top prize during the Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway on Sunday with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Series.
The victory was also the first for Scelzi’s new race team owned by Spire Motorsports formed during the off season.
Taking the lead from Central Pennsylvania standout Chase Dietz on lap 28, Scelzi had to hold off Dietz, Tyler Courtney, and Brent Marks through slower traffic in the closing stages of the event. Ryan Smith charged from 24th starting position to round out the top five.
