PA speedweek has always been around the 4th of July. Years ago many Pa teams would go do Ohio Speedweek,and the tracks would be a bit light on cars for the Holiday weekend. So the Pa promoters started Pa Speedweek to keep the cars at home. The first few years of Pa Speedweek I went to almost every race. A lot of racing in a short time without to much travel once you get there.

I always get a kick out of the Pa fans that come to Indiana for Sprint week,and they tell me I should come to Pa,as they have the best cars and the best racing. I always tell them I have been there many times,and then I ask them if they have the best out there,what did they come to Indiana for? They should stay home instead!
