Zearfoss wins Port Royal Labor Day Classic on last lap
PORT ROYAL, Pa.—Brock Zearfoss has been a top competitor in Central Pennsylvania since returning for the World of Outlaws. Getting to victory lane however was quite the challenge for Zearfoss throughout 2025 as he picked up a number of podium finishes at different tracks in the area. On Monday, as a part of the Labor Day Classic and Lynn Paxton Tribute Race presented by Foss Jewelers of Lewistown, Zearfoss was able to break the drought and return to Port Royal Speedway victory lane.
Chase Dietz and Parker Price Miller composed the front row of the 25 lap A-main event on Monday. Dietz would hop out to the early advantage with Price Miller having to battle with Danny Dietrich and Brock Zearfoss.
Price Miller would run down Dietz for the top spot within just three laps and threw a sliding pass on Dietz for the lead off of turn number four.
As the top two cars began to battle the caution lights would come on around the race track for Austin Bishop who had crashed in turns three and four.
With 21 laps remaining, Price Miller would hold off a sliding pass attempt from Dietz on the restart and begin to set pace around the race track.
Dietz would keep the leader within his reach over the next 6 laps all the while Danny Dietrich would be reeling him in to battle for the runner up spot.
Heading into turn one, Dietrich would attempt to go for a sliding pass on Dietz but Dietz wouldn't be able to see him coming, causing the two cars to make contact and Dietrich to spin around the ring.
Dietrich would do a 360 spin, however per the Port Royal Speedway rulebook, if a car is the cause of the caution, they will be sent to the tail of the field, even if they are able to keep going under their own power.
Now with 15 laps remaining, Brock Zearfoss would jump up to the third position with Dietz and Parker Price Miller remaining in their top two spots.
Zearfoss would jump his way into the runner up spot with three laps remaining completing using the bottom side of turns one and two to charge pass Dietz before the final caution of the race would come out.
Lynton Jeffrey would get turned sideways in turn four bringing out the caution and giving Zearfoss a chance to reel in Parker Price Miller for the win.
On the restart with 3 laps remaining, Zearfoss would use the bottom lane of the corners to pull alongside Price Miller for the top spot, but wouldn't be able to hold enough speed to make the pass.
Zearfoss would not be denied however because on the white flag lap, Zearfoss would return to the bottom in turn 1 and find the traction needed to hold his speed, passing Price Miller and defending the bottom side in turns three and four to hold on for his first win of 2025.
Parker Price Miller would finish in the runner up spot and Chase Dietz would round out the top three.
For the 4 FWD 4-Cylinders, a whopping 36 cars started the A-main event. But AJ Hoffner would not be denied as he would lead all the laps on the way to Port Royal Speedway Kish Bank victory lane.
Port Royal Speedway will be back in competition on Thursday with Kubota High Limit Racing paying $10,000 to the winner in 410 sprint car competition. The event will be supported by the Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint cars. The 305s will be limited to the top 24 in their point standings.
