FIVE AND COUNTING: Schaeffer working to pad win column in upcoming Lockhart visit; To debut family throwback

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

KITTANNING, Pa. (July 31, 2025) – Elliott Schaeffer’s 2025 karting campaign has been a success story, to say the least, and with an upcoming visit to Lockhart Raceway in the Kittanning native’s crosshairs, there’s no sign of slowing down, working diligently to pad the stat chart – the win column most importantly. 

Schaeffer, ace of his family-owned PJ Grecos, Schaeffer Tire, B.S. Outfitters, 700 Shop in Downtown Kittanning, Chuck’s Carpet Outlet, King Lanes, DMD Performance, Elk Life, Punxsy Kart Supply, Cindy Moore Hair Salon, Townsend Gas & Oil, Suzanne Stivason, Nana & Pop, EMCO Machine Tool Services, Blazavich Racing Decals, Siple Racing Edits, Carlson Racing, No. 9 kart, will roll into Lockhart Raceway in Seneca, Pennsylvania, as a five-time winner in 2025, most recently claiming victory at Busti, New York’s Stateline Speedway. In addition, the second generation wheelman, whose father, Kevin Schaeffer, captured multiple Lernerville Speedway championships aboard his familiar yellow and red No. 9 sprint car, owns 14 top-fives on the year, 11 of which occurring on the podium.

Speaking of family, Elliott Schaeffer plans to debut a commemorative paint scheme in his Saturday start at Lockhart, boasting an all-yellow body and red number nine – a color combination all-too familiar to Kevin Schaeffer fans from decades prior. 

“It’s been a great year and we’re excited to get back to Lockhart Raceway on Saturday. And what better way to kick-off our August schedule than a tribute to my dad,” Elliott Schaeffer said. “The only thing better would be getting him to race with me. I don’t think it’s out of the question yet. Maybe if I keep bugging him, he’ll cave and hop in.

“We have a lot of support from a lot of great people and we wouldn’t be in this position without them,” Schaeffer added. “It’s been a ton of fun, as well as a lot of hard work, to build this kart team from the ground up. Like any other form of racing, it’s a lot of time in the garage, a lot of travel, and a lot of expense, so we appreciate everyone who believes in us. We’ll work for win number six on Saturday.”
