The PA Sprint Series was established in 1998 and is a RaceSaver Regional Series.Which is overseen by French Grimes and his Virginia Sprint Series.

Racing with the series is by invitation, the invitation process has halped ensure that teams understand that rules do not change. Essentially the rules package for the series remains exactly the same as it's inception in 1998.

Several of the original teams still race with the series and many of them still have and run their original engines.

Tom Worrick, Rodney Peters, Joe Zap,Todd and Ryan Lynn have all been with the series since it's early years

The series started at Hesston and Path Valley speedway and has expanded to numerous tracks with numerous races at Port Royal, Path Valley Clinton County and Susquehanna along with less frequent stops at other local tracks. Each year the goal has been to schedule one race every weekend and to try to fill every Saturday so that teams hav plenty of opportunities and choices.

Numerous local racers have risen from the ranks of the PA Sprints. While it has been used as a stepping stone for some teams the intent is to provide an affordable sprint car series for recreational racers that may otherwise not be able to afford to race. A competitive car can be purchased and assembled for under $15,000 and is about the same cost as in 1998.

New teams are encouraged to be exclusive to the series to help ensure existing teams that car counts would include only those that are committed to the series and to discourage teams from other series with big budgets from racing occassionally by installing a much less expensive racesaver engine.

Car counts have never been a focus with the series, teams are encouraged to race when they want or can afford to race. There is (and never will be) a points system with the series as this structure often leads to racers missing important family events to race. Teams are encouraged to submit their planned schedule on-line so tracks and fans know who they can expect to see at any race. With nearly 60 cars registered there is always adequate competition for a good race!

The success of th RaceSaver format has spawned attional regions in New York and in New Jersey. For the first time ever in 2011 there was an inter-regional race in our area at Lincoln speedway with more interregional reces scheduled going forward.

In 2012 Clinton County announced that they would be dropping their traditional sprint car schedule in favor of our more affordable format. This has proven to be a popular move with teams as numerous new teams have been issued invitations for 2012 and many of our existing teams planning to race at Clinton County on a regular basis.
