The tradition continues! After two incredible years of racing, roaring engines, and St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Pot of Gold 3 returns to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway, bringing fans and drivers together for one of Western Pennsylvania’s most anticipated early-season events. 🍀
Beautiful spring weather, packed grandstands, and the unmistakable sound of horsepower will once again fill the air as we kick off our 48th year of racing in true PPMS fashion. Bigger, faster, and even more fan-focused than before!
Get your green gear ready for the Best Irish Dressed Contest, where fans will vote for the most spirited outfit! We'll make our 3rd attempt at hosting the Wheelbarrow Race, powered by 20/20 Landscaping & Tree Service. Bring your partner, bring your ride (or borrow theirs), and bring your A-game!
Three powerhouse divisions will light up Dirt’s Monster Half Mile:
🏁 Fast on Dirt Winged Sprint Cars
Returning after a thrilling show last year, the region’s top sprint car talent will battle for $4,000 to win and bragging rights in the third annual Pot of Gold showdown.
🔥 Super Late Models
After a dramatic finish in 2025, the Super Late Models return to chase their own share of gold. $4,000 to win with no entry fee and rules in line with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.
🚗 Crown Vics
After their exciting PPMS debut, the Crown Vics are back! The growing series has become a fan favorite across the region, and they’ll once again round out this three-division card with side-by-side, door-to-door action.
