Gobrecht Classic Weekend — Rahmer at Grove, Dietrich at BAPS
Freddie Rahmer broke through for his first Williams Grove victory of 2025 on Friday night, taking the Kevin Gobrecht Classic Challenge in a 25-lap thriller. Rahmer edged Lance Dewease by just .250 seconds at the line, with Daryn Pittman completing the podium. In the 358 Sprint Car feature, Dylan Norris stormed from 12th to the front, passing Andy Best late to record his fourth Grove win of the year.
On Saturday, Danny Dietrich kept his streak alive at BAPS Motor Speedway, dominating the York Excavating Kevin Gobrecht Classic for the second straight year. The Gettysburg driver led all 30 laps of the $10,000-to-win main event, finishing nearly six seconds clear of Brock Zearfoss and Rahmer. The win marked Dietrich’s 25th career triumph at BAPS, leaving him only two shy of Lynn Paxton on the track’s all-time list. Kenny Edkin claimed the Super Sportsman feature, holding off Scott Dellinger and Jay Fannasy.

Bright Shines in Bridgeport Comeback
Alex Bright wasted no time reminding fans of his prowess on the USAC IMT East Coast Sprint Car tour, charging from 8th to win Saturday night’s feature at Bridgeport Motorsports Park. In just his second start back after stepping away from racing, the Collegeville native overtook Chris Allen Jr. on lap 10 and never looked back, taking the checkers over Bobby Butler and Thomas Radivoy.
Allen led early before heartbreak struck on lap 11 with a crash into the fence, while point leader Steven Drevicki recovered from a spin to finish 5th. Bright earned Hard Charger honors with his 8th-to-1st run, and Drevicki also posted quick time in qualifying.
