Logan Wagner, a seasoned Sprint Car driver from Central Pennsylvania, is embarking on an exciting new chapter in his racing career. After a decade of driving for some of the region's most prestigious teams, Wagner is now joining forces with his father, Mike, to form the two-car Wagner Motorsports operation. The team will make its debut on March 8th at Port Royal Speedway, where Logan will drive the No. 55 and Mike the No. 55w. This move marks a return to the family roots that have always been central to Wagner’s passion for racing. With strong sponsor support and decades of combined experience, the Wagners are poised to be formidable competitors in the upcoming season.

The decision to team up with his father was not made lightly. Logan has had a storied career, including five track championships at Port Royal Speedway and numerous high-profile wins. However, after parting ways with Kreitz Racing in late 2024, he saw an opportunity to reconnect with the essence of what made him fall in love with racing in the first place—family. Mike Wagner, a respected figure in the racing community, has significantly upgraded his program over the past few years, acquiring modern equipment and fresh engines. This newfound capability, combined with Logan’s financial backing and sponsorship connections, created the perfect conditions for the father-son duo to join forces.

For Logan, this partnership represents more than just a change in teams; it's a return to the values that matter most. "It feels like the most natural progression of my racing career," Logan said. "Historically, racing has always been about family operations, and that’s why this feels so special." The younger Wagner acknowledges that while winning races and earning prize money are important, the true reward lies in enjoying the sport alongside his father. This sentiment is echoed by Mike, who expressed excitement about having his son as part of the team. "I’m just excited about him coming on board," Mike said. "If we get down on cars or if I get busy, Logan will be the first priority."

As they prepare for the 2025 season opener, the Wagners are focused on building a competitive team that can succeed at Port Royal Speedway and beyond. With a schedule likely to include around 25-30 races centered around Port Royal’s marquee events, the duo aims to win big and enjoy the journey. Logan’s recent successes, including victories in the Tuscarora 50 and the Greg Hodnett Classic, demonstrate his ability to perform under pressure. Meanwhile, Mike’s experience and the team’s robust sponsor lineup, featuring Saner Brothers, LD2 Catering and BBQ, G&P Distributors, and Coleman Farms, provide a solid foundation for their ambitious goals.

As the Wagner Motorsports team prepares for its inaugural race, the focus remains on creating a balance between competition and camaraderie. For Logan and Mike, this partnership is about more than just winning races—it's about rekindling the joy of racing together and honoring the legacy of family in motorsports. With a wealth of experience and unwavering support from their sponsors, the Wagners are ready to make their mark on the 2025 season and beyond.
