The Vintage Invasion Meets the Future: PA Thunder on Dirt, Fast Five Racing, & PowerWheels This Saturday!

By Justin Dudek

Get ready for an action-packed night of racing at Latrobe Speedway this Saturday, June 6th! We have an unbelievable lineup that brings together the rich history of dirt track racing, our hard-charging weekly divisions, and the next generation of racers.

⚡ The Vintage Invasion!

For one night only, we’re turning back the clock on the Fast Half-Mile. Latrobe Speedway is thrilled to welcome back our friends from the PA Thunder on Dirt Vintage Modifieds for a high-speed blast from the past.

These aren’t museum pieces—they’re fire-breathing, classic-bodied coupes and coaches that built the sport of dirt track racing, and they race just as hard as the modern cars. This is their only Latrobe appearance of 2026, so you won’t want to miss seeing these legends take on the high banks!

🏁 Welcoming Back the Fast Five

History meets the present as we welcome back our weekly staples! Our Fast Five divisions are locked, loaded, and ready to put on a massive night of racing. The full card for the evening includes:

PA Thunder on Dirt Vintage Modifieds (Special Event!)
Crate Late Models
Pure Stocks
Modified 4 Cylinders
Crown Vics
Hobby Stocks

🔋 First Scheduled Power Wheels Race!

In addition to the high-horsepower action, we are incredibly excited to host our very first scheduled PowerWheels race of the season! Bring the kids out to watch the little ones hit the track and show off their own racing skills. It’s bound to be one of the highlights of the night!
