BECHTELSVILLE, PA (June 30, 2026) — A packed house filled Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night as the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment Thunder on the Hill Racing Series hosted the fifth stop of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed Week Series of 2026. “The Concrete Kid” Anthony Macri earned one of the biggest victories of his career by capturing the prestigious Hodnett Cup and the $10,000 top prize, while Billy Pauch Jr. outdueled Eddie Strada and a field of forty-two modifieds to win the 30-lap NASCAR 358 Modified feature paying $3,000 to win. The fans were treated to outstanding, nonstop racing as both feature events went the distance without a single caution flag.
“I’ve wanted to win here so bad. This is a bucket list win that I finally get to check off,” said Macri after earning his first career Thunder on the Hill victory.
Parker Price-Miller and Logan Rumsey brought the 35-lap Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Car Speed Week feature to the green flag, with Rumsey jumping into the early lead with Brady Bacon settling into third and Macri quickly moving into fourth. Rumsey set a blistering pace over the opening laps, but the battle behind him continued to intensify as Bacon repeatedly challenged Price-Miller for second and Macri searched all over the speedway for the fastest line.
As the leaders encountered heavy lapped traffic, Macri found another gear. He worked his way around Bacon for third before slipping underneath Price-Miller to take over second on lap 11. Two laps later, Macri drove deep to the inside of Rumsey entering turn one and completed the winning pass exiting turn two to take command of the race.
From there, Macri was simply untouchable.
Bacon advanced into second and Chase Dietz mounted a charge into the top five, and Macri expertly picked his way through lapped traffic, steadily increasing his advantage over the field. At one point, the Dillsburg, PA driver stretched his lead to nearly a full straightaway.
Macri crossed the finish line for his first Thunder on the Hill victory after charging from the sixth starting position. Bacon finished second, followed by Price-Miller, Dietz and Danny Dietrich. Rumsey, who led the opening 12 laps, settled for sixth ahead of Ryan Smith, James McFadden, Brock Zearfoss and Freddie Rahmer.
The NASCAR 358 Modified feature delivered another exciting battle as Eddie Strada and Billy Pauch Jr. raced side-by-side for the lead over the opening laps. Strada carried momentum around the outside while Pauch hugged the bottom groove, with neither driver willing to surrender an inch before Pauch finally edged ahead to officially lead lap three.
Pauch gradually built his advantage to nearly half a straightaway before reaching slower traffic, allowing Strada to reel him back in. Behind the leaders, Duane Howard and Anthony Perrego kept themselves in contention and Jeff Strunk steadily worked his way into the top five after starting deeper in the field.
With fewer than ten laps remaining, Strada mounted one final charge, pulling to Pauch’s rear bumper before swinging to the outside as the leaders navigated heavy lapped traffic. Pauch answered every challenge, maintaining his composure and momentum despite constant pressure. Perrego also closed in during the closing laps, but Pauch never faltered, completing all 30 laps to secure the victory.
Pauch claimed the $3,000 winner’s prize over Strada, Perrego, Strunk and Howard, completing a memorable night in which both headline divisions raced clean, hard, and uninterrupted from green flag to checkered.
