Honestly after that restart, my car wasn\u2019t very good. I think I used the left-rear tire up too much before that yellow. And under the yellow, I just wasn\u2019t working with my tires. Ultimately it kind of cost me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The handling issues forced Macri to abandon attack mode and focus solely on keeping Dietz behind him over the closing laps. Instead of seeing his PA Speedweek advantage cut nearly in half, Macri turned a potential 41-point lead into a commanding 91-point cushion. His photo-finish victory produced a massive 50-point swing in the championship battle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have a good car after that. It was extremely hard, kept losing the left-rear,\u201d Macri said. \u201cFrom that point on I went to defense mode and started sliding myself in three and four and then moved my entry down a little bit on the last lap and that was not the thing to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Full field rundown from tonight\u2019s Zemco Headers, LLC Mitch Smith Memorial Feature Event<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd47 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AnthonyMacri7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@AnthonyMacri7<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Macri39M?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Macri39M<\/a><br \/>\ud83e\udd48 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dietzchase2d?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@dietzchase2d<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SM23Updates?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@SM23Updates<\/a><br \/>\ud83e\udd49 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LSchuchart1s?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@LSchuchart1s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5NccFb5Dat\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/5NccFb5Dat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Williams Grove Speedway (@WilliamsGrove) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WilliamsGrove\/status\/2073236508836831255?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 4, 2026<\/a>Anthony Macri Capitalizes On Chase Dietz&#8217;s DNQ To Win Round 7 At Hagerstown Speedway\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1347\" data-start=\"1186\">Anthony Macri entered Thursday&#8217;s PA Speedweek stop at Hagerstown Speedway trailing Chase Dietz by 65 points in the championship standings. He left with a 72-point lead.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1753\" data-start=\"1386\">Dietz&#8217;s title hopes took a major hit when a throttle issue in his heat race forced him into the B-main. The four-time Speedweek winner rallied from 11th to fifth but came up one spot short of transferring to the feature, opening the door for Macri to claim his third victory of the miniseries and execute a stunning 137-point swing in the standings.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1816\" data-start=\"1758\">But Macri said his focus never drifted to the points race.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2068\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-start=\"1821\">&#8220;Points aside, I&#8217;m not worried about that throughout the night,&#8221; Macri said. &#8220;I know we had a job to do. Obviously that job is the same thing every single night, and that&#8217;s to win the race. Hats off to my guys for working really hard in the heat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2068\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-start=\"1821\">Though Macri ended up leading all 30 laps from the outside pole, his Macri Motorsports team &#8220;changed a lot of stuff on this car throughout the night&#8221; from qualifying \u2014 when they timed fifth in Group A, three tenths off fast-timer James McFadden \u2014 to the feature. A heat race win from the outside pole put him in position for the redraw, which he took care of business from there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We made the right call there before the feature. I just tried my best to get through lapped traffic the whole race,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I just tried to be smart and read the track, see where i might&#8217;ve been faster or slower. I didn&#8217;t feel like the top was the place to be, but through lapped traffic I kinda had to make my moves in the top of one and two.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was pretty good on the top in three and four. &#8230; I had to commit to the top down there for my car to lay left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Feature finish from Night #7 at <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Hagerstownspdwy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Hagerstownspdwy<\/a> \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ra5tTVkAIS\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/ra5tTVkAIS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PA Speedweek (@PASpeedWeek) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PASpeedWeek\/status\/2072879806836867573?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 3, 2026<\/a>Chase Dietz Outduels Anthony Macri In PA Speedweek 6th Round At Port Royal Speedway<\/p>\n<p>In a span of just six laps, Chase Dietz went from two seconds behind race-long leader Anthony Macri to the lead \u2014 and then, with only three circuits remaining, on his way to victory lane in Round 6 of PA Speedweek at Port Royal Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>The York, Pa., driver didn&#8217;t think he had anything for Macri, who controlled the 30-lap feature until having troubles with lapped traffic with five laps to go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honestly, with the way the track was, not really. I figured right off the start, you were going to get to where you were going to be and that was going to be it,&#8221; Dietz said. &#8220;It actually slicked up enough that you could easily get over the ruts, and you could run above it to a point. It just made it very unique for everyone. No one honestly was going to feel good there \u2014 it was about holding on for the most part. Just an intense race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Dietz, the victory underscores just how good his Stehman Motorsports team is right now as they picked up their 15th overall triumph of 2026, including four in six races this PA Speedweek.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Feature finish from Night #6 at <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PortRoyalSpdway?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@PortRoyalSpdway<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/C0pYvPZozx\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/C0pYvPZozx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PA Speedweek (@PASpeedWeek) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PASpeedWeek\/status\/2072517432632033311?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 2, 2026<\/a>Anthony Macri Wins PA Speedweek 5th Round At Grandview Speedway<\/p>\n<p>After nearly a decade of trying to conquer Grandview Speedway, Anthony Macri finally triumphed at the third-mile bullring and perhaps the most unique dirt oval on the Speedweek schedule Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Dillsburg, Pa., driver pocketed the $10,000 payday \u2014 his second Speedweek victory this miniseries, adding to last Friday\u2019s opening night victory at Williams Grove Speedway \u2014 in his 11th career Grandview start.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally got it done here. I love this racetrack,\u201d Macri said. \u201cIt\u2019s probably my favorite racetrack in Pennsylvania. It\u2019s a shame we only get to come here twice a year. It seems to aways put on badass racing. I\u2019ve wanted to win here so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coming from the sixth-starting spot, Macri led the final 22 of 35 laps when he passed early leader Logan Rumsey on the 14th circuit. From there he found his rhythm around the top of turns one and two, but the bottom of turns three and four, topping Brady Bacon by three seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Macri had finished runner-up three times before at Grandview: in the 2024 Speedweek race at Logan Schuchart, \u201922 Speedweek to Rico Abreu and \u201921 All Star Circuit of Champions stop to Tyler Courtney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were tight in the beginning, but that was kind of the game plan,\u201d Macri said. \u201cThe car came to me in the middle section.

Sunday\u2019s third-round Speedweek victory marked his fourth victory at the 4\/10-mile oval his last five starts there while giving him six overall podiums in seven starts with no finishes worse than fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from the seventh-starting spot, the York, Pa., driver knew how to get to the front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe track was pretty dirty, but I felt like I could go about anywhere honestly,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel the benefit of starting where we did. Got to fourth quick, then I was able to maneuver. I was able to hit the middle through one and two.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dietz methodically worked his way forward in the 30-lap feature to pass early leader Ryan Smith for the lead on the 21st circuit. Two laps before that, though, he sized up second-running James McFadden at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started moving around and got James (McFadden) at the right time,\u201d Dietz said. \u201cAt that point, Ryan was kind of committed to where he was. That\u2019s the not-so-good thing about being in the lead in traffic. I got a good run off of four \u2014 ran right across there and grabbed the curb off.
