Celebrating 88 Years of Hershey Motorists
The Hershey Sprint Car Experience celebrates modern-day racing while paying tribute to those who raced at Hershey Stadium Speedway 88 years ago. You read that right—Milton S. Hershey built Hersheypark Stadium in 1937 to be a speedway!
Meet the Drivers
Hershey Sprint Car Experience hosted professional dirt track drivers from World of Outlaws and PA Posse at Hersheypark Stadium.
Read their bios below to learn more!
Brock Zearfoss is a Jonestown, PA native who has raced with both World of Outlaws and PA Posse in the past. In 2025, he is working the local circuits at Williams Grove and Port Royal.
Zearfoss has a special relationship with the community at Milton Hershey School, who is one of the sponsors of his sprint car. Students at MHS have had the opportunity to be honorary crew members on his team and learn from Brock inside the classroom.
Bill Balog didn’t exactly grow up in a Sprint Car hot bed. He called Alaska home in his youth. Dirt bikes and snowmobiles were his race cars of choice in his early years. But a passion was born for Sprint Cars when he climbed in one at age 20.
He eventually moved and began to construct a racing career in the lower 48 states. A career that’s led him to being the most dominant driver in Interstate Racing Association (IRA) history. “The North Pole Nightmare” has racked up 140 IRA wins and 10 championships, both all-time highs. He also picked up a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car victory at Beaver Dam Raceway in 2016.
And now in 2024, Balog joined The Greatest Show on Dirt full-time for the first time. He took his personally-owned B2 Motorsports #17B on the road for the grueling schedule and pieced together a solid year with more than 20 top 10s. Balog is ready for more in 2025 as he returns for a sophomore season.
In his first two years on the tour with Kyle Larson Racing, Carson Macedo established himself as a solid World of Outlaws competitor. In his last four seasons with Jason Johnson Racing, Macedo has made it clear he’s a championship contender.
The Lemoore, CA native topped his first World of Outlaws race at Silver Dollar Speedway when he was still racing as a California local in 2014. Macedo joined the tour in 2019 and claimed Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year honors.
After joining JJR ahead of 2021, no driver won more races than Macedo’s tally of 22 over the next two seasons. He’s reached some of the best moments of his career with the team started by the late “Ragin’ Cajun” including a pair of National Open titles and an $83,000 Dennis Roth Classic score.
After three consecutive third place results in the standings and a runner-up in 2024, Macedo and his JJR crew are hungrier than ever to make a run at the 2025 championship.
Cole Macedo has followed in the footsteps of older brother Carson all the way to the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars.
The Lemoore, CA native impressed along the west coast in his youth primarily driving for Tarlton Motorsports but also earning seat time with other teams.
In 2021, Macedo broadened his horizons in a big way by joining forces with Ray Brooks Racing and running a healthy schedule in Ohio. That partnership led to Macedo’s first All Star Circuit of Champions victory. The pairing came back even stronger in 2022 to the tune of double digit wins.
The following year saw Macedo return to his roots as he climbed back aboard the Tarlton No. 21 but also jumped in a handful of other rides as part of a busy 2023. Macedo nearly took the Tarlton car to a Northern Auto Racing Club championship in 2024. When he wasn’t competing for that title on the left coast, he was often out east gaining more experience.
The commitment to Sprint Car racing paid off for Macedo as he inked a deal with TwoC Racing for 2025 and is set for his first season with The Greatest Show on Dirt.
The dream finally came true for David Gravel in 2024 as he captured a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car championship. But he’s not done. He wants to cement his legacy among the best.
The 30-year-old’s talents have consistently landed him in top-tier rides throughout his career. Stints with Roth Motorsports, Destiny Motorsports, CJB Motorsports, and Jason Johnson Racing have all proven to be fruitful for Gravel. He’s now in his fourth season driving for Tod Quiring’s Big Game Motorsports.
Since earning his first World of Outlaws win at Talladega Short Track in 2011, Gravel has amassed 102 more triumphs to become only the 8th driver in Series history to reach triple digits. He won a whopping 18 races in 2017 with CJB. He’s a Knoxville Nationals champion. He’s a National Open champion. And now he’s a World of Outlaws champion.
The Watertown, CT native is geared up to defend his title run in 2025. He became only the 11th champion in Series history in 2024. Now, he wants to become just the sixth to go back-to-back.
This season will be Donny Schatz’s 29th on the road with the World of Outlaws, and there isn’t much left for this living legend to accomplish.
Ten championships. Eleven Knoxville Nationals. Six Kings Royals. And many, many more triumphs highlight Schatz’ resume on the way to his current tally of 316 World of Outlaws wins (third most all-time).
Perhaps the most impressive part of Schatz’ career is the way in which he’s reached his numbers. He’s known for being one of the most respectful drivers ever in addition to being one of the most talented. The 47-year-old has maintained a philosophy of racing as clean as possible and searching the slick for a lane by a competitor when an aggressive slide job might’ve gotten the job done quicker.
Before he began with the World of Outlaws, Schatz had early success in the sport.
Schatz was born in Minot, North Dakota, in 1977. He began racing go-karts at a young age, and quickly showed his talent for the sport. In 1993, he won the WISSOTA Sprint Car Rookie of the Year award. The following year, he won the WISSOTA National Championship.
And if Schatz’ abilities behind the wheel of a race car aren’t enough, he’s got some talent in the air as well being a licensed pilot.
Fulfilling the prophecy, Giovanni Scelzi – one of the most prominent young stars in racing – hit the road full-time with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in 2023.
Scelzi lived up to the hype, taking the KCP Racing No. 18 to a Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year season highlighted by consistency and a Beaver Dam Raceway victory.
There would be no sophomore slump for this prodigy. The Fresno, CA native elevated his statistics in nearly every category in 2024. Scelzi grabbed a trio of wins along with a Knoxville Nationals prelim triumph.
“Hot Sauce” heads into 2025 looking to make his third year with The Greatest Show on Dirt even better.
Outside of Sprint Cars, Scelzi has shined in everything he’s raced. He’s won a Tulsa Shootout title in a Micro Sprint, topped a USAC National Midget Series event, and even scored a win in the ARCA Menards West Series. The young buck is also in elite company as a Rookie of the Year winner at both the Chili Bowl and Knoxville Nationals.
Coming from a family rich in racing heritage, Giovanni is the son of Gary Scelzi, a drag racing legend with four NHRA championships (3 Top Fuel, 1 Funny Car) to his name. He’s grown up under the wings of older brother Dominic Scelzi, a Sprint Car ace with wins against the All Stars, ASCS, and back-to-back championships in California with the NARC 410 Series.
Hunter Schuerenberg and Vermeer Motorsports are taking the next step with their reunion, joining the 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car roster for the first time.
The Sikeston, MO native reunited with Tony Vermeer’s team over the off-season, and they’re ready to compete with The Greatest Show on Dirt.
The 2025 season marks year 12 on the World of Outlaws tour for Logan Schuchart aboard the Shark Racing #1S – an impressive accomplishment for a team that many weren’t sure if they’d make it through their first campaign back in 2014.
Before he got started with The Greatest Show on Dirt” Schuchart was voted the 2012 National Sprint Car Rookie of the Year by the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.
As the Hanover, PA native navigated the early part of his career with the World of Outlaws, he continued to show signs of improved consistency and picked up his inaugural Series win in 2016 at Cedar Lake Speedway. Schuchart has since added many notable accomplishments including the Eldora Million, a pair of Jackson Nationals titles, and runner-ups at both the Knoxville Nationals and Kings Royal. Schuchart is up to 42 career World of Outlaws wins.
With top-seven finishes in the points for the last seven seasons including a personal-best second in 2020, Schuchart and the Shark crew have established themselves as annual title contenders. This year they continue to eye the ultimate goal of bringing a World of Outlaws championship trophy back to their Pennsylvania shop.
From his earliest days racing in California, it was clear Michael “Buddy” Kofoid was destined for stardom. Many Outlaw Kart victories and championships made it clear he had plenty of talent.
That talent quickly led him to Sprint Car success as young as 14 years old. Kofoid topped several 360 Sprint Car races in 2016 including a prelim in the prestigious Trophy Cup that routinely welcomes nearly 100 entries.
The next year he claimed a major 410 Sprint Car race by visiting Victory Lane at Ocean’s Speedway’s Howard Kaeding Classic with the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC). Then in 2018 he earned the pole of the Gold Cup Race of Champions before bringing home a top five.
In 2019 Kofoid began to dabble in midget racing and quickly got acclimated by winning his first race with Keith Kunz Motorsports at Jacksonville Speedway. He went on to become only the 12th driver to earn back-to-back USAC National Midget championships in 2021-2022. The year 2022 also brought his first World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car win at Huset’s Speedway.
Kofoid hit the road full-time with the World of Outlaws in 2024 aboard the Roth Motorsports No. 83 and delivered perhaps the best rookie season ever. When all was said and done, Kofoid had racked up seven wins and come home fourth in points. The performance has some wondering if he can elevate to championship contender in only his second campaign. The 2025 season will answer that question.
Sheldon Haudenschild is a professional dirt track racing driver hailing from Wooster, Ohio. Born on August 31st, 1993, he is the son of former sprint car driver, Jac Haudenschild. Sheldon began his racing career at a young age and quickly established himself as a formidable competitor in various forms of dirt track racing.
Throughout his career with the World of Outlaws, Haudenschild has amassed 34 victories. The most memorable of his triumphs came at the 2019 Ironman 55 when he destroyed the field by winning by more than 10 seconds. In six full-time World of Outlaws seasons, Haudenschild’s fourth-place finish in the 2020 points stands as his best year.
As he navigates his ninth year on tour, the 31-year-old continues to thrill crowds across the country with the same on-the-edge driving style that his father became so famous for.
Skylar Gee is ready to be a part of The Greatest Show on Dirt.
The 25-year-old out of Leduc, AB, Canada is set for his rookie World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car tour in 2025 aboard the Logan Fenton Racing No. 99. Gee joins Cole Macedo, Chris Windom, and Garet Williamson in the strong class chasing this year’s Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year.
Gee follows in the footsteps of his father, Tim Gee, who competed with the World of Outlaws full-time for multiple seasons in the 1980s and is one of two Canadian-born Feature winners.
Bill Rose has tabbed Zach Hampton to pilot his No. 6 machine full-time with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars in 2025.
Hampton has plenty of Sprint Car laps under his belt. His 2024 campaign was highlighted by several top 10s in weekly Knoxville Raceway action. In 2023 he picked up an impressive FAST victory in his home state at Circle City Raceway. Now he takes the step up to the demanding World of Outlaws calendar where he’ll face off with the best of the best every night.
The Ultimate Showdown
Few rivalries shine as brightly as the clash between the World of Outlaws and PA Posse. As the Outlaws blazed their trail, they quickly discovered that some of their fiercest adversaries awaited them in the Keystone State.
The atmosphere in Central Pennsylvania when the Outlaws roll into town is electric. Fans from all corners of the region rally behind their local favorites, fervently hoping to see them triumph over the invading Outlaws. Their epic battles have solidified their rivalry as a cornerstone of sprint car racing.

Rayshawn Shuler '23
“Not only was this my first time going to a live racing event, but also, I got to be an honorary member of a World of Outlaw’s racing team. This was an amazing introduction to the world of racing. I loved working with the team getting to know a local driver from Central Pennsylvania, Brock Zearfoss, and his crew. Getting to work in the pits with crews was an in depth learning experience. This was a place to network and see possible future careers in racing. Experiences like this aren’t offered to every student. This opportunity was made possible by Milton Hershey School.”
Dante Thomas, MHS Student
“I’ve always been fascinated with the racing since my family since I was young. But, being an active part of a real race, was an out of this world experience. being in the infield was a whole other environment. I am grateful for the drivers and their teams for sharing their experiences with me and letting me take part in the maintenance of the car. I know this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it wouldn’t have been possible without MHS.”
Tia Willis-Cooper, MHS Student
“My experience at the race was the best opportunity I have ever had. What I enjoyed the most was being able to actually work with the pit crew and get a little dirty. Also, I liked seeing the teamwork and how well they worked together. The crew made me feel like I was a part of the team. Racing is so fast paced and I think that is what makes me love it…the adrenaline when the cars go by and the loud roaring and rumbling.”
Brian Carter, World of Outlaws CEO
“It is amazing to see what happens here at Milton Hershey School. Our drivers have local connections to the school, and it is wonderful to interact and share our collective experience with the students.”
