Jean Lynch Classic Returning Home in 2024

Columbus, OH (February 6th, 2024) – Western PA Speedweek along with Lernerville Speedway are proud to introduce the Jean Lynch Classic presented by Rustler Sales & Service as the cornerstone event of the 2024 Western PA Speedweek for the ‘410’ sprint car division. The $4,000 to win, $350 to start event on Friday, May 31st will mark the highest paying speedweek race since the 2021 reincarnation.

As the matriarch of a family with such prominent ties in racing, the late Jean Lynch requires no introduction. She was a pioneer for women in racing with a resume to match, her roots running deep with national ties to tracks/organizations such as NASCAR, CART, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500, the All Star Circuit of Champions and Ohio Sprint Speedweek, and much more. However, her love for racing never left the local racing scene as she could be found managing, promoting, and renting out tracks all across the northeast. The pinnacle of Jean’s lifelong love for racing came in 2013 when she was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

Western PA Speedweek would also like to welcome Rustler Sales and Service as presenting sponsor of the Jean Lynch Classic. Owned and operated by successful businessman and former racer Brian Steinman, Rustler Sales and Service specializes in heavy truck sales, service and towing across northwestern Pennsylvania.
