Port Royal Speedway Opening Day All-Time Win List

Fayetteville, PA's Lance Dewease has won opening day at Port Royal Speedway in each of the past three decades (1994, 2003, 2018) and will attempt to add a fourth this Sunday at the 79th annual opener at the "Speed Palace".

In last year's opener, it was All Star Circuit of Champions invader, Cory Eliason, who picked up his first ever win at Port Royal.

Todd Shaffer remains the all-time king on opening day with three-win streaks in 1995-1997 and 2007-2009 giving "Mr. Excitement" a record tally of six.

Semi-active Dave Blaney holds the distinction of the having the longest gap between opening day wins, claiming his first 1984 and waiting 29 years before returning to victory lane in 2013.

The weekly Super Late Model division joined the opening day card in 2013 with Andy Haus victorious. Haus won again in 2016 and remains tied with Jason Covert (2017, 2019) with most SLM wins on opening day.

Check out the list of Port Royal opening day winners and watch the 2021 Opening Day at Port Royal Speedway this Sunday, March 7 live on FloRacing at 2:00 PM ET.
