Hanover, PA (July 17, 2023) – After last week, Dylan and the Gobrecht Motorsports Team were looking for a solid night at the track to get ready for the upcoming World of Outlaws visit to Central PA. The night started off with Norris driving from eighth to third in his heat race before slowing to a stop on the front stretch, “We had a torsion stop break on the front end and a clump of mud came up and broke the shifter.” Thankfully the issues were not related to what the team dealt with the week before. With 24 cars on hand, Norris lined up 22nd for the start of the 30-lap feature. Dylan started his charge to the front of the field at the drop of the green and was up to 17th by lap 2. At the halfway point Norris was up to 14th. Dylan would cross the [...]

Hanover, PA (July 5, 2023) – The toughest most grueling stretch of racing in Central PA is Speedweek. Despite the blood, sweat and tears put into fielding a sprint car for 10 nights of racing, Dylan Norris and the Gobrecht Motorsports Team set out to compete in the full slate of races for the second year in a row. Mother Nature put a damper on the week from the start and took night #1 at Williams Grove. That meant things kicked off at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night. Norris started off the week with a high pill draw, but still went out and timed fourteenth quickest out of thirty-seven cars. Dylan’s qualifying lap lined up him up third for his heat race and he would finish fourth, putting him the feature. Norris started the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial feature from sixteenth and would run most of the feature in fourteenth. In [...]

Saturday started with time trials where Norris timed 21st fastest out of 29 cars with a lap time of 15.874, “I just didn’t do a very good job in time trials and put us behind.” Dylan started seventh in his heat and finished seventh putting him in the B-main, “The track, the way it was and with us starting in the back, it was almost impossible to pass and move forward.” Norris lined up fourth for the B-main and finished third, qualifying him for the feature. Dylan lined up 21st for the 30-lap feature and ran as high as tenth. [...]

Hanover, PA (June 13, 2023) – Norris put together another solid night at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday during the 2nd Annual Elijah Hawkins Memorial. With the PA Speedweek format being utilized, time trials started off the night with Dylan timing second quickest overall, “I felt a bad vibration in time trials, but the motor ran well and the car felt good and we were able to put down a good lap.” As the fastest car in his heat race, Norris lined up fourth and that is where he would finish. Dylan’s fourth place finish put him in the redraw for the feature, “We had a decent car in the heat race and I didn’t have to push too hard because I knew we had to finish in the top six to make the redraw.” Dylan redrew the five, which had him start fifth for the $7,000 to win 35-lap feature.

Probably the best we’ve ever been at the track.” In his heat race Norris drove from fourth to second on a one lane dominate track, putting him in the redraw. Dylan started on the pole for the start of the feature and settled into second at the drop of the green. About 10 laps into the feature Norris’ night went from great to not so great, “Around lap 10 the throttle stuck ¾ of the way open and just kept getting tougher to control as the track slowed down.” The throttle issue ended up with Dylan hitting the wall in turn 2 with one lap to go, [...]

Norris lined up fifth for the feature start and was running seventh through the middle of the race. Dylan would cross the line sixth, “The car was OK in the feature.
