If you compiled a list of 410 sprint car teams capable of competing for top five finishes and wins, yet often find themselves falling short despite their potential, it would probably be a long one.
Tyler Ross and the Ross Racing team have to be at or near the top of that list so far in 2025. The Lincoln University, PA product was coming off arguably his best 410 sprint car campaign in 2024 and was well-positioned for a breakout season.
The stats aren’t bad at all. A lot of teams would take seven top ten finishes in sixteen races.
For Ross, though, the expectation is top fives, wins, and most of all, consistency. Those goals are still well within reach.
THERE’S A BRIGHT SIDE
Tuesday night, Ross returned to Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA, to compete with the High Limit Racing series. In 2024, he earned a front row starting spot and recorded a top ten finish at the event.
Ross appeared poised to repeat the performance and quickly erase some of his early 2025 frustrations. He qualified 9th in the stout 30-car field and backed it up with a runner-up finish in his heat race. He would start the A-main from inside row five.
At the halfway mark of the 35-lap feature, while in a back-and-forth battle for the 10th spot the motor started to sour under the hood of the Ross Racing, Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota, Betts Garage No.5. To prevent further damage, Ross retired from the event.
“That was tough. We needed a good run to help boost the team’s confidence. Although we didn’t end up with a good result, we are happy to show the speed we had all night long until we had the engine malfunction.”, Ross shared.
“We are going to focus on the night as a whole and not worry about what the result says. There were a lot of things we did well that we have been struggling with in the past few races.”

DIALING IT IN
In early May, Ross took on the World of Outlaws at Lincoln Speedway. The team was still shaking down a car they had just put together and had only raced once. A poor qualifying result put the team behind from the start, and ultimately Ross ended his night in the B-main.
“We were just off all night. If you don’t qualify well with these guys, it’s hard to climb out of the hole. The good news is we learned some things about what this car wants.”, Ross said.
Ten days later, Ross bounced back at Lincoln’s Fallen Firefighters race. He timed well and made the redraw with a 2nd-place finish in his heat race. Ross started 5th in the finale but missed the setup just a little and ended up 8th.
The following night at BAPS Motor Speedway, Ross failed to transfer through his heat as a result of a self-described “driver error”. He went on to win the B-main to get in the show. He managed a 19th-place finish.
“Right now, my guys are really working hard to get me comfortable and confident behind the wheel. I’ve been off since the wrecks early in the year. I need to do a better job, and I think we will be right on track.”, Ross shared.
“Last night (at Grandview), we finally felt like we were where we needed to be. We’re hopeful we can carry that run we had going into the upcoming races.”
UP NEXT
Ross and his team are currently weighing their options for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and expect to announce their plans soon.
