“It is a privilege to present this event to honor Steve Smith Sr.” stated Brian Leppo, “We are happy to have Lincoln Speedway host the event and excited to have it be part of the PA SpeedWeek series”.
“When we first put this event together a couple of years ago, this is what we envisioned it could be,” said Leppo, who is the son-in-law to Steve Smith. “It means a lot that so many people have come on board for this race, and I think it says a lot about Steve and what he meant to the racing community.”
Steve Smith Sr. was the first ever SpeedWeek champion back in 1991, the inaugural season for the SpeedWeek Series. Stevie Smith, Steve’s son, added his name to the SpeedWeek champions list when he won the title in 2015.
