The old master wasted no time reminding the racing world exactly who still wears the crown. Lance Dewease started third on the grid, methodically worked his way forward, and passed Dylan Norris on lap 8 to capture the 25-lap, $6,000-to-win feature in the 2026 PA Posse 410 Sprint Car Series opener at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
Driving the iconic Rich Eichelberger No. 8 sprinter for the first time, the Hall of Famer looked right at home on the familiar half-mile clay. He held off a determined Norris to the checkered flag, while Justin Whittall mounted a late charge to finish third and Danny Dietrich rounded out the top four.

Dewease now sits alone atop the all-time win list at the Grove with an astonishing 117 victories. For a man known simply as “The King of the Grove” and the owner of seven track titles, the performance felt almost routine, yet the packed grandstands under bright sunny skies treated it like the special occasion it was.
Afterward, Dewease gave a straightforward nod to the things that have always mattered most in this game: putting in the time during daytime practice sessions and making sure the car was properly prepared. No excuses, no theatrics, just the quiet confidence of a driver who has seen it all and still delivers when the green flag drops.
The season could not have opened with a more fitting result. The King is still very much on his throne.
