Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / ALL STAR CIRCUIT OF CHAMPIONS – BROWNSBURG, IN – With little time to waste after a busy, three-race stretch over Labor Day weekend, Tony Stewart’s Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 will hit the ground running and return to the Keystone State during the coming weekend, set to step foot in Pennsylvania Posse Country for three straight nights of competition, all of which headlined with one of the sport’s premier programs: the 52nd Annual Tuscarora 50.
Led by six-time and defending All Star champion, as well as all-time Series feature win leader, Dale Blaney, the All Star Circuit of Champions will headline three events while visiting two tracks during the first, full weekend of September, igniting the weekend, officially, with a Thursday night visit to Bedford Speedway in Bedford, Pennsylvania, on September 5. The first and only Bedford Fairgrounds visit by the traveling All Stars in 2019 was scheduled to take shape in the spring, but Mother Nature had other plans.
The Port Royal Speedway ‘Speed Palace’ will welcome the All Star Circuit of Champions on Friday and Saturday, September 6 & 7. Boasting an action-packed weekend that will attract open wheel enthusiasts from coast-to-coast, Port Royal Speedway will open the two-day program with the $5,000-to-win Night Before The 50 on Friday, September 6. Action will resume on Saturday, September 7, with the 52nd running of the Tuscarora 50, awarding an unprecedented $52,000 top prize in 2019; the largest payday on the All Star schedule.
Trailing Dale Blaney by a mere 24 points in the All Star championship standings, Clute, Texas’ Aaron Reutzel will attempt to use Central Pennsylvania to his advantage and reclaim the top spot in the title chase. Rudeen Racing’s Cory Eliason will enter the Pennsylvania invasion third in the standings and 90 points behind Blaney, followed by Paul McMahan and recent Brad Doty Classic champion, as well as former Port Royal Speedway track champion, Brock Zearfoss.
