The headline race at Lernerville Speedway is the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup. The Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup is the highest paying sprint race at Lernerville each year, with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series sanctioning the event. The first Silver Cup in 1992 paid $25,000 to the winner, Sammy Swindell. Following the death of track promotor Don Martin, the Silver Cup was named in memory of Martin. In 2009, the race was split into 2 separate features, each paying $15,000 to win, with the highest average finisher in the two features being crowned the Silver Cup Champion. This was the only World of Outlaws sanctioned sprint car race to have two "A" Features each on a single date. To set up the second feature, all cars that remained on the lead lap were inverted to set up the second feature. Starting in 2011, the format changed again with the overall winner of the Silver Cup required to win one of the two features. This was put into place after the 2010 race, when Donny Schatz won the overall Silver Cup title without winning one of the features. In 2011, NASCAR drivers Kasey Kahne and 2011 NASCAR championTony Stewart competed in this race. Stewart failed to qualify for the race, while Kasey Kahne qualified for the race, and sat on the front row of the 2nd feature. Stewart returned in 2012 to dominate the second 30 lap feature. For 2016, the Silver Cup race reverted back to a single feature format, with David Gravel scoring the win.
