Pittsburgh’s crown jewel of dirt racing is back. The 37th Annual Pittsburgher 100 takes over Dirt’s Monster Half Mile this Friday and Saturday, and the hills of Western PA will thunder with raw horsepower, fearless talent, and a $200,000+ weekend purse on the line.

The RUSH Late Model Touring Series returns for night one of the Bill Hendren Memorial paying $4,000 to win, and the Penn Ohio Pro Stocks light up the track with $2,042 on the line for the 4th Annual Bob Walters Memorial.
