The three-day Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway kicks-off this Friday, May 23.
Pitting the High Rollers against the PA Posse, the three-day battle culminates with a massive $75,000 paycheck on Sunday.
Pennsylvania driver and Weikert Livestock-sponsored Danny Dietrich won the event in 2024. He’ll have to top the country’s hottest current driver, and the winner of the 2024 Tuscarora 50, Rico Abreu, to take home the bull again in 2025.
Reserved seats for the Sunday finale are available online. General admission tickets for Sunday, as well as all tickets for Friday and Saturday, are available at the track on race day.
