McGrath Ends up 15th Following a Flat Tire at Sundance
(July 17, 2010)- With $600 to win and double points on the line, the 40-lap Street Stock feature set the stage for a barnburner. Robert Haueisen started on the pole and was quickly overtaken by Richie DiMarco. Brian Wozniak climbed to second.
 Brian Brown overtook Wozniak for second and began to lay the pressure on DiMarco for the race lead. Meanwhile, Scott Meckes, who started back in the fourteenth spot began to make his way toward the front. Read More
 
McGrath Endures Caution-Free Feature At Sundance
(July 3, 2010)- Piloting a ride lent to him by friend and fellow competitor, Mitch Hawk, Jeff Mcgrath stayed out of trouble while fighting a tight racecar and earned a top 15 finish in the caution-free 25-lap Street Stock feature Saturday night at Sundance Vacations Speedway.
After winning the Modified main event two weeks early and following it up a week later with two-straight Sport Modified features, it appears that Earl Paules of Palmerton is on a mission. Paules took the lead in the Modified feature on lap eight and cruised to his fourth victory of the season in the division Saturday at Sundance Vacations Speedway. Lehighton’s Scott Meckes extended his points lead by notching his first Street Stock victory of the year and Mike Kline of Lancaster scored his third FWD win of the season in the 30-lap, double-points event. Scott Hubler of Coplay notched his sixth-straight victory of the season in the Pennsylvania Asphalt Legends event. Read More
 
McGrath Encounters Problems and Finishes 12th at Sundance
(June 19, 2010)- Josh Oswald would lead the Street Stocks to the green, but before the first lap was complete Chip Wanamaker would grab the top spot. Steve Schultz, who won the last Street Stock feature two weeks ago, began to move forward. Mitch Hawk, who is a teammate to Chip Wanamaker, moved into the 2nd spot early. By lap 10, the top five would be Wanamaker, Hawk, Schultz, Joe Barbush, and Scott Meckes. Schultz would move to 2nd by lap 12, but Wanamaker would prove to be too strong and marched to victory in the caution free event. Wanamaker had engine problems in practice which kept the crew busy, and he thanked them in victory lane. Read More
 
McGrath Racing Presses On…
Jeff McGrath and his race team are just about halfway through the season and they’ve learned a lot. The team has the car turning well, but that uncovered the lack of power. The team has plans to find a little more power in the near future.
 
Despite another disappointing run, the team is still pressing forward. The crew is working on improving the car, making it more consistent.

Jeff McGrath Reflects on the Season So Far
 
(May 25, 2008) After spending Saturday at the track tweaking and adjusting, the McGrath Motorsports team threw on two new right side tires last Sunday.
Unfortunately their day ended with a bent right front upper ball joint, shock, and lower ball joint.
Although driver Jeff McGrath didn’t have what most would call a “career night”, the car got faster on new rubber, and they were able to tighten it up for better handling.
Their main focus heading into the show on Saturday, June 5 is to get the front end back together and focus on speed. “We now know how the car will react to changes we make and what will work and what won't”, said Jeff. Read More
