I searched the database and forums for frequencies used at Selinsgrove Speedway (Snyder Co.) and didn’t seem to find any.
I found one that appears to be used during a race: 454.000 MHz. Several websites call it Raceceiver and may be used at other speedways.
Maybe someone knows other frequencies. Just curious. I’m not a race fan.

I've done a lot of drag racing over the years. I would use closecall function and narrow the search range to 450-470 MHz. That's where I always would find track operations at. Also find some other racers using radios in this frequency range also.

You are right about Raceceiver. Every dirt track uses it. Since dirt cars are forbidden to have 2-way communication, Raceceiver exists to provide information to all drivers such as track status (green/yellow/hot or cold red), cars out of position, cars in violation, observed cars in peril (such as car on fire), etc. I'm on the western edge of the state so I've never been to Selinsgrove. Have you searched online? I found one reference to 151.625. I don't know if that's track operations or if it's even in use now. I found another page that says they use 462.925. As mentioned previously, if you have it, try closecall but, if you're not actually on the track location you may not receive anything. A track near me uses GMRS and I can't receive it with Closecall. I had to identify their usage by programming the GMRS frequencies directly into memory. Closecall uses differences in signal level and the signal was just not enough to trigger it.

454.000 is normally a IFB for announcers they use for the wireless mics. They use that frequency for LIVE feeds.

No, on dirt tracks 454.000 is a system called Raceceiver. All cars are required to have it, whether owned or rented. It's a system to provide instructions to drivers. In dirt racing, rules prohibit drivers from having 2-way communications. They've even recently added an encypted data channel to Raceceiver to trigger in-car lights reflecting flag status (green/yellow/red).
