Whittall rallies big at Port Royal; Selinsgrove, Clinton County on deck
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (August 10, 2026) - Former Port Royal Speedway Track Champion Justin Whittall certainly knows his way around “The Speed Palace,” and the Vincentown, New Jersey, ace proved that point yet again, powering his way from 18th to finish seventh in Saturday’s appearance - a hard-charging effort.
Whittall, who wheeled the Rod Gross Motorsports No. 67G in his Port Royal climb, was forced to start deep after finishing fifth in his respective heat race; there were 35 cars entered for action.
As long as Mother Nature cooperates, Whittall’s upcoming weekend is scheduled to be a double, resuming PA Posse 410 Sprint Series competition at Selinsgrove Speedway and Clinton County Speedway on Friday and Saturday, August 14-15. Whittall is currently fifth in the championship, 202 points out of the top spot held by Chase Dietz.
“It’s tough to start deep at a place like Port Royal, but if you can find some rhythm early, you can make up ground,” Whittall described. “Grateful for everything Rod Gross Motorsports does for our team. Hoping the weather can cooperate for a full weekend of racing.”

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 10, 2026) - St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu put together a near-perfect Knoxville Raceway test session on Sunday, August 9, concluding the 14th annual Capitani Classic with a runner-up result.
Abreu, certainly no stranger to the Sprint Car Capital of the World, started sixth on the 25-lap grid, climbing his way to second - beyond David Gravel - with less than a handful of circuits remaining.
It was a heat race victory that highlighted Abreu’s preliminary effort.
“I was just a little bit off in the early going,” said Abreu. “My team does a great job. I’ve got the best in the business. I wouldn’t do it with anyone else. These podiums are good to put us in position. I really treat these races like Saturday of the Knoxville Nationals. We’ll have 25 more laps (next Saturday), so to get to second…these drivers are the best of the best when it comes to sprint car racing.”
Prior to the Capitani Classic, Abreu, aboard Tony Stewart’s Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 14 sprinter, joined the nation’s finest in the 360 sprint ranks, concluding the annual 360 Knoxville Nationals with a 12th-place result on Saturday, August 8 - he started 21st.

Mallett Posts Sixth-Place Result at Senoia Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – SENOIA, Ga. (Aug. 10, 2026) – Jordon Mallett produced his 12th top-10 finish of the season on Saturday at Senoia Raceway.
The driver of the A.G. Rains’ owned sprint car placed fourth in a heat race to narrowly miss advancing into the dash by only one position. That lined him up on the inside of the fourth row for the USCS Series main event.
“The track wasn’t very conducive for passing all night,” Mallet said. “It rubbered up in our heat race and we couldn’t make any progress. They tried to rework the track for the feature, but we were buried from the heat race and then simply struggled to find the speed needed to put ourselves in contention for the track conditions in the feature. Unfortunately, it took rubber and was one lane again.”
Mallett picked up one position to finish sixth.
It marked the lone race of the weekend as Friday’s USCS Series show at Penton Raceway in Penton, Ala., rained out.
Mallett will take this weekend off before tackling an ASCS National Tour race at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., on Aug. 22.

Starks returns to the high-banked oval in Burlington, Wash., this Saturday holding a 127-point lead in the championship standings with only three points races remaining this season.
“The goal starting out each season at Skagit is to win races and go after a championship in both the 360 and 410 divisions,” he said. “We’ve been fortunate to win races and put ourselves in a good position in each division so far.”

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Entering Knoxville Nationals With Momentum and Confidence
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 10, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports has momentum on its side heading into the 65th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s.
The crown jewel event runs this Wednesday through Saturday at Knoxville Raceway. The team’s preliminary night is Wednesday and David Gravel was strong behind the wheel throughout Sunday’s Capitani Classic, which served as the final tune-up at the track.
Gravel was quickest in qualifying out of the more than 85 drivers signed in. He placed third in a heat race to advance into the pole shuffle, which he won to garner the pole position for the 25-lap main event. Gravel led the first 16 laps before dropping to third in traffic.
The race was the third straight day of competition during the weekend with the famed Ironman 55 taking place on Friday and Saturday at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway in Pevely, Mo.
Gravel was second quickest in qualifying on Friday before he won a heat race, finished third in the dash and closed the night with a fourth-place outing in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event.
On Saturday, Gravel was 11th quickest in qualifying and he ran third in a heat race to narrowly miss moving into the dash. He started the 55-lap main event 11th and battled around 10th to 13th for most of the race before a late rally earned a seventh-place result.
Gravel currently leads the World of Outlaws championship standings by 180 points.
Now the attention shifts to Knoxville Raceway, where Gravel has produced results of second, first, fourth, fourth and third, respectively, this season. He won the Knoxville Nationals in 2019. The team captured Hard Knox Night last year before hustling from 21st to third place during the finale, which earned the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars. It marked Gravel’s third podium in the last four years during the final night of the Knoxville Nationals.
The team is currently riding a nine-race top-10 streak.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 7 – I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Mo. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 3 (3); Feature: 4 (3).

Danner Runs as High as Second and Finishes Sixth
Saturday at Iowa in Doran-Swanson Racing No. 77
NEWTON, Iowa, Aug. 9 — Briggs Danner ran as high as second in Saturday night’s USAC Silver Crown race at Iowa Speedway, and at one point he was just 0.10 second behind the leader, ready to pounce. Unfortunately attrition played a major role in the 100-lap race, and he ended up sixth after dropping out with 88 laps complete due to a driveline issue with the Doran-Swanson Racing No. 77, which is sponsored by E. Schneider & Sons Recycling, Fuel Mart, and Sennebogen.
Despite it being the Allentown, Pa.-based driver’s first race on the 0.875-mile asphalt oval, he advanced to second from his seventh starting spot, and ran in that position for 24 laps. He was never out of the top five while he was running. He was striving for back-to-back victories in the series, as he dominated its most recent race July 19 at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway.
He got a terrific start with the car, which is powered by a Doran Toyota engine, advancing from seventh to fifth before the completion of lap one. He got those spots when Mario Clouser, who started second and eventually finished second to C.J. Leary, dropped from second to eighth initially, and Dakoda Armstrong, who started sixth, dropped out with a mechanical issue.
Danner moved into fourth on lap four by passing Bobby Santos III, who won the most recent USAC Silver Crown race at this track 11 years ago, on the backstretch.
Danner was in a great four-car battle for second with Davey Hamilton Jr., Leary, and Jackson Macenko just prior to the one-quarter mark. Danner moved into third on lap 24 when the driver who had been second, Davey Hamilton Jr., got a little out of shape and Danner was able to capitalize on it. When lap 25 went into the books polesitter and initial leader Chase Cabre already had a 5.267-second lead over Leary, who was followed by Danner, Macenko, and Hamilton Jr.
Danner stayed in third place until lap 46, when he advanced to second after Cabre dropped out with a reported ignition issue after building his advantage over Leary to 10.086 seconds.
At the halfway point Leary had a 0.768-second lead over Danner and Danner was 3.299 seconds ahead of the third-place driver, Macenko.
The first of only two yellows waved from laps 54 through 57 when the driver who was seventh, Kaylee Bryson, dropped to the apron of the track along the frontstretch due to a mechanical issue.
Danner did his best to pass Leary on the restart on lap 58, attempting an outside pass. Leary proved too stout, however, and with the top runners packed up for the restart, Macenko and Clouser got around Danner on lap 60 to drop him to fourth. He slipped one more spot to fifth on lap 61 when defending champion Justin Grant also got by.
The second and final yellow flew when the ninth-place driver, Chelby Hinton, slowed on lap 78. That erased Leary’s 1.198-second lead over Clouser. Danner had been 0.672 behind the fourth-place driver, Macenko, and 2.882 seconds ahead of the sixth-place driver, Kyle Hamilton, at the time.
Under that yellow Macenko dipped into the pits due to a mechanical issue, and Danner found himself back in fourth place. He was still in that position when he slowed on the backstretch and dropped out with 88 laps complete.
Only the top three finishers — Leary, Clouser, and Grant — completed all 100 laps. Nathan Byrd was fourth, two laps down. Gregg Cory was fifth and was the race’s hard charger, as he started 15th. Only five cars were running at the finish. Danner ended up sixth followed by Kyle Hamilton, Macenko, Hinton and Santos.
Danner set the sixth-fastest race lap when he ran a 23.269 on lap 35. Leary was the fastest in that category with a 22.946 on lap 88.
Danner qualified seventh in the field of 18 Saturday morning. It was a group qualifying session, and he turned his fastest lap of 22.389 seconds on his 24th and final circuit during the 35-minute session. That was just 0.426 off the 21.963 (143.423 miles per hour) turned by the polesitter, series newcomer but Iowa Speedway veteran Cabre.
That was the fastest lap at Iowa for the weekend. By contrast, Ryan Sieg won the pole for Saturday’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts stock car race with a lap of 23.966 seconds. Another Ryan, Ryan Blaney, won the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race there with a time of 23.474.
Danner was eighth in the 35-minute practice session that preceded qualifying with a 22.638 to the 22.217 set by the fastest driver in that session, Leary.
Although this was the first USAC Silver Crown event at Iowa Speedway in 11 years, the series was part of a USAC tripleheader there to open the then-brand-new track 20 years ago.
The event was livestreamed by Flo Racing, as are all the USAC Silver Crown races.
Danner’s next race with the Doran-Swanson Racing team is the Rollie Beale Classic on Oct. 3 at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway, which is the season finale.
Shane Cottle will represent the team in the three dirt-track Silver Crown races that precede Toledo: the Illinois State Fairgrounds Aug. 22; the Du Quoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds Sept. 5, and Eldora (Ohio) Speedway Sept. 25-26.

Angell Park Speedway Podium Highlights Triple Header
Weekend for Paul Nienhiser
PETERSEN MEDIA: A weekend triple header with the IRA saw Paul Nienhiser attack three race tracks in Wisconsin and he saved his best for last as he capped the weekend off with a third-place finish on Sunday night at Angell Park Speedway.
“Friday night was my first time at Mississippi Thunder and we also had a new engine package we were testing, and it was just a bit of a struggle,” Nienhiser said. “It ran really well, but with how slick the surface was we chased our tails a little making grip. Saturday night I dealt with a wing starting to come apart late in the race, but luckily Sunday our issues seemed to be behind us and we ran really well.”
After timing 15th fastest in qualifying and finishing 5th in his heat race, Nienhiser and team continued to make adjustments to the AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance No. 9x to try and get the car drivable.
Lining up 14th in the feature event, a top dominant track made moving forward extremely tough. With his car trending the right direction, the Chapin, IL driver did pick up a few positions as he worked his way into the Top-10 and closed the night out with a 10th place finish.
Doing some Walmart work in the parking lot on Saturday before heading to Cedar Lake Speedway, Nienhiser and team got off to a much better start later that evening. Timing in second fastest in time trials, a third-place heat race finish put Nienhiser in Dash No. 1.
As his luck would have it, the five-pill put him in the third row of the four-lap shootout. Finishing fifth, Nienhiser lined up ninth in the 30-lap finale.
Following track prep prior to the feature, Nienhiser found himself stuck back battling for 10th as the track had become quite fast. As the track started to open up, then he had to deal with a top wing that was starting to come apart. Rather than pushing the issue and risking another damaged racecar, Nienhiser played it safe and was cautious during the final 10-laps as he closed the race out with an eighth-place finish.
Sunday night brought the final night of the busy weekend as the series traveled to Sun Prairie, WI to compete at the Angell Park Speedway. With his issues seemingly behind him, Nienhiser again timed in second fastest in time trials and picked up a third-place finish in his heat race.
Pulling the one in the Dash draw, he was on the pole for Dash No. 2, and the win put him on the front row of the feature event.
When the feature event came to life, Nienhiser jumped into second as he chased after the race leader, Travis Arenz. Closing in on Arenz a few times Nienhiser was hoping to make his move in traffic, but with the way the cautions fell that opportunity never presented itself.
Late in the race, Nienhiser gave up the second position as Joel Myers Jr was able to get by. Holding on to a podium spot, he closed the weekend out with a third-place finish.
“Sunday night we weren’t perfect, but we were pretty solid,” Nienhiser said. “I thought if we could get into traffic, I would have something for Travis (Arenz), but it just didn’t happen. Big thanks to my guys for working their butts off all weekend.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros.

Duel on Dirt at I-96 and Only Silver Bullet Visit of the Season Up Next for GLSS
Merrill, MI - Another Michigan doubleheader weekend is on tap for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP with stops at I-96 Speedway and Silver Bullet Speedway. The action begins Friday, August 7th and rolls into Saturday, August 8th with just a handful of races remaining on the 2026 calendar before a champion is crowned.
Friday night, I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan resurrects the Duel on Dirt. Launched in 2017 as a combination effort between the now-defunct Sprints on Dirt and American Ethanol Late Model Tour, the event put two of the state’s premier divisions on display in the same night. Now, in 2026, the event returns with the Great Lakes Super Sprints as the co-headliner alongside the Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series.
In their most recent visit, Plymouth, Indiana’s, Zane DeVault returned to GLSS Victory Lane for the third time this season. At the time, DeVault remained the only driver to grab multiple wins this season. Chase Ridenour joined him on that list the following night at Tri City Motor Speedway with a pass coming to the white flag on Scotty Thiel. DeVault’s win came from the 8th starting spot in a race that featured he and Darin Naida exchanging the lead several times in the closing laps. Seventh starting, Max Stambaugh rounded out the podium, but it was Chase Ridenour who earned the Operating Engineers 324 Hard Charger award, climbing 10 spots from 17th to 7th.
Back in May, Dustin Dagget snapped a nearly two-year winless streak with GLSS and at I-96 Speedway, rolling from the outside of the front row and to the win. Daggett held off Scott Bogucki and Stambaugh for the win.
Saturday night, Silver Bullet Speedway welcomes the GLSS for the one and only stop this season. The ¼-mile bullring in Northeast Michigan offers drivers a unique challenge with tight confines and an unusual surface. In recent years, Stambaugh has found Silver Bullet to be his personal playground, winning in back-to-back visits. The 2023 edition of the GLSS at Silver Bullet may have been the best, with Greg Wilson and Creed Kemenah exchanging the lead, making contact, and battling for the win, all while slicing through lapped traffic. A caution with less than five laps to go gave Wilson the chance to run away with the win, with Dan McCarron moving into the runner-up spot.
Heading into the weekend, just eight races remain on the points-paying calendar for GLSS. For the overall Tour Championship, Max Stambaugh just retook the lead from Chase Dunham after the July 25th race at Crystal Motor Speedway, and holds the lead by just three points heading into the weekend. For Dunham, the 14th place performance is just the fourth time this season he’s finished outside the top 10, and it matches two other performances, which were his worst of the year, finishing 14th at Limaland Motorsports Park on May 15th, and Tri City Motor Speedway on June 12th. Otherwise, in 13 starts, Dunham has nine top 10s and five top five finishes so far this season. Dunham has also won the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award five times this season, adding crucial points to his bid for a title.
For Stambaugh, the four-time and defending GLSS Champion has had an unusual season as well, being held out of victory lane, but only missing the top 10 two times this year. Stambaugh’s worst finish came at Ohsweken Speedway back on June 26th, where he finished 16th. On May 15th at Limaland Motorsports Park, Stambaugh finished 11th, just falling outside the top 10.
Stambaugh and Dunham aren’t just battling for the Tour Championship; the MacAllister CAT (North) Division is highly contested as well. Stambaugh holds just a six-point advantage over 2018 Tour Champion and 2024 Ohio CAT (South) Division Champion, Dustin Daggett. Chase Ridenour now sits just 38 points back with Dunham 51 points out and Phil Gressman 99 points back.
The battle to crown a champion continues with a pair of races this weekend, stops at Hartford Motor Speedway (August 14th) and Butler Motor Speedway (August 15th), an off weekend, then trips to Mansfield Speedway (August 28th) and Millstream Speedway (August 29th) to decide a South Champion, and finally Championship Weekend at Winston Speedway (September 5th) and Crystal Motor Speedway (September 6th) during Labor Day Weekend.
Racing on Friday night at I-96 Speedway for the Duel on Dirt is set to begin at 8:00 PM. General admission gates open at 5:00 PM with the first on-track action slated for 6:30 PM. Saturday at Silver Bullet Speedway, general admission gates open at 5:30 PM with racing set to begin at 7:00 PM.

Covington Shifts Focus to Knoxville Nationals Following
Strong Summer Stretch
GLENPOOL, Okla. (August 5, 2026) – After recent stretch of strong runs,
Covington and the No. 95 team turn their attention to one of the biggest
couple weeks of the season at Knoxville Raceway.
Fresh off an impressive stretch on the ASCS National Tour that included a
victory and multiple podium finishes, Covington enters Knoxville second in
the ASCS National Tour championship standings. The No. 95 team now turns its
attention to the Sprint Car Capital of the World, looking for success during
one of sprint car racing's biggest weeks
Most recently, the Glenpool, Oklahoma, native capped off the ASCS weekend at
Viking Speedway in Minnesota with a solid sixth-place finish, continuing a
consistent run that has the team optimistic heading into Knoxville.
Now, all eyes shift to Knoxville Raceway, where the prestigious 360
Knoxville Nationals begin this week before the team returns the following
week for the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals with the 410 sprint car.
"Our team has put together a consistent stretch of finishes this summer, and
we've worked hard all season to put ourselves in this position," Covington
said. "Now our focus shifts to Knoxville. It's one of the biggest stages in
sprint car racing, and every driver wants to perform well there. This place
can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be very humbling. We're excited
for the opportunity and looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish
over the next couple of weeks."
Covington is scheduled to compete in Friday night's qualifying program for
the 360 Knoxville Nationals, where a strong performance will be crucial in
setting up the remainder of the weekend's championship format.
Following the 360 Nationals, the No. 95 team will quickly transition to 410

Battling Variables: Ross Racing Driven to Recapture Consistency
Lincoln University, PA – August 5, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Ross Racing driver Tyler Ross says the team has identified
key reasons results have been inconsistent over the past several weeks, and
the immediate focus is on returning the racecar to its “happy” place.
Moving Target
Ross explained that the recent stretch included multiple challenges that went beyond typical race-to-race adjustments. The problems started after a June 20th incident at Lincoln Speedway, when Ross got upside down. The team made the decision to skip Path Valley Speedway on June 21st so they could focus on necessary repairs and prepare for Speedweek. During Speedweek, Ross was involved in another incident at Grandview Speedway, and the cumulative effect of those events ultimately changed how the car responded to setup adjustments.
“When the chassis flexes in an incident, it can change
things more than most people realize,” Ross said. “It’s still straight, but
we are finding we do have to do some things a little different with it to
make it happy. A happy car means a fast car.”
Setup, Components, Confidence
Ross noted the team tore the car down after the incidents and had it checked to ensure everything critical was true. While the chassis remained straight, the team found that the flex the frame had experienced was going to require them to make setup adjustments.
During the tear down and rebuild, the team found
component-specific issues such as a bent torque tube, and they have
continued to work to eliminate possible weaknesses, including freshening up
their shock program.
Another Variable Added
When the team went back to racing with the car, Ross said there was an additional variable to manage: the World of Outlaws events at BAPS Motor Speedway (July 29th) and Williams Grove Speedway (July 31st) were the first times at those tracks with the current motor program.
While Ross didn’t elaborate on exactly what differences his
new motor brings to the table, we can generally explain the impact a motor
can have on setup. Numerous performance ‘behaviors’ of a motor, such as
whether it emphasizes low-end speed, which helps acceleration off the
corner, or top-end speed for the end of the straightaway, cause the chassis
and suspension to react differently. This requires specific setup
adjustments to optimize handling for the new power characteristics.
Bright Spots Along the Way
Despite the recent challenges, Ross highlighted key moments that validated the team’s ongoing development. A strong 20th-to-7th run at Lincoln Speedway on June 22nd served as a testament to the team’s ability to overcome obstacles, while a 15th-place finish at BAPS Motor Speedway against the World of Outlaws on June 29th underscored their competitiveness in high-level fields. These performances provided both data for the team’s technical notes and a morale boost for everyone involved.
“Runs like that remind us that our team is capable, and we
just need to keep battling,” Ross said. “Even if things don’t go right early
in the night, it’s possible to bounce back and finish the night strong.”
Mindset Forward
Despite the ups and downs, Ross highlighted that the team is continuing to build momentum and keep Tyler sharp behind the wheel. Following the Speedweek stretch, Ross and the team returned to action at Lincoln Speedway on July 11th and July 22nd.
Additionally, Tyler gained valuable seat time and a boost in confidence through strong runs in the McGough No. 669 URC 360 sprint car at Port Royal Speedway (July 1st) and Selinsgrove Speedway (July 10th).
While confidence has taken a hit during the inconsistent stretch, Ross emphasized the team’s mindset remains firmly forward.
“Confidence is down, but determination isn’t,” Ross said.
“We are rebuilding and going over the car again before Lincoln on August
8th. There’s a lot of racing left, and we will bounce back.”
Fans Invited: Upcoming Pabst Light Appearance
Ross Racing is also excited to welcome fans to an upcoming
promotional appearance featuring new partner Pabst Light and Ace
Distributing. Tyler Ross and the Ross Racing No. 5 car will be at Valley
Green Beverage, located in Newberry Commons in Etters, PA, on August 15th
from 11:00 AM–2:00 PM. Tyler will have hero cards to hand out and will be
happy to greet fans for autographs and photos.
ABOUT TYLER ROSS
Tyler started his racing career in 2002 in quarter midgets. At the age of 14, he jumped into the 600 micro scene. At the age of 18, he started his sprint car career in the 358 division and, shortly after, jumped to the 410 division. He owns (9) 358 sprint wins, (4) 360 URC feature wins, and (7) 410 sprint car feature wins, plus he earned the 2015 URC Rookie of the Year award.

INAUGURAL TRIP TO CAN-AM AWAITS CRSA SPRINTS AS THE 305s
TAKE ON THE CRATE SPRINTS FRIDAY
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – August 5, 2026
For the first time, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints will head to “The Nasty Track of the North” at Tyler Bartlett’s Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville as the 305 Sprints will take on the 602 Crate Sprints Friday night.
$1250-to-win will be on the line for all 305 and 602 cars.
In addition, a pair of miniseries points funds will be up for grabs, with $250, $150 and $100 going out to the top three in both the crate and 305 classes.
CRSA will be giving out $100 in an envelope to both Crate and 305 cars.
Six tires will also be awarded during the drivers' meeting.
Can-Am Speedway hosts the 602 Crate Sprints every week. The class was introduced in 2022 and has seen numerous different winners from New York to Canada.
Numerous drivers have brought a crate sprint to run with CRSA on a pick-and-choose basis when not running Can-Am on Friday nights.
The last time the series hosted a battle against the Crate Sprints was the 2024 season finale at Cornwall Motor Speedway in Canada, where Bruno Richard defeated the 305s.
Can-Am will become the 29th different track to host a CRSA event, the first new track since Ransomville in July 2025.
Here’s a look at the news and notes entering the weekend.
Last Time Out: CRSA made its second trip of the year to Outlaw Speedway for a $2011-to-win show alongside the Empire Super Sprints.
While Davie Franek won the ESS show and didn’t enter the CRSA portion of the night, no $5000 bonus was up for grabs.
Sprint Car veteran Paul Colagiovanni Sr. has been well known for crew-chiefing his son Paulie to many wins in the 360 division.
However, it was Paul Sr. in his 305 holding off Zach Sobotka and numerous other drivers to score his first career CRSA victory and become the 90th driver to win in CRSA history.
“Up until a year and a half, we never even considered it,” Colagiovanni Sr. said on racing Sprint Cars. “I mentioned it to my wife one night and she said ‘sure,’ and I was surprised and here we are. It feels great. I thought Zach for sure was going to get me. I saw him so many times up top, but it worked out well.”
Kyle Pierce finished second and Jordan Thomas finished third.
As for Pierce, “The Flyin’ School Teacher” won the first miniseries championship of 2026 with the Dandy Mini Series. Pierce, throughout the three-race swing, finished seventh, third and second. It is the second time Pierce has won the Mini Series, with his first being in 2024 en route to his overall championship that year.
“These races are so hard and it’s been going really well,” said Pierce. “For somebody who doesn’t really like to points race, it’s cool to be able to get that one again. Remarkable run here these last few weeks.”
Points Standings: The overall championship picture took a major swing last Friday as Dalton Herrick finished ninth while Tyler Graves finished 25th after a spin.
As a result, Herrick has opened up his lead to 43 points over Graves.
Timmy Lotz stands third in points, 151 back on the leader.
The battle for fourth is heating up and eight points separate Nick Webb and Johnny Scarborough.
Paul Colagiovanni Sr. and Jerry Sehn Jr. are separated by 30 points in the race for sixth, but Paul Sr. stands 18 points behind Scarborough.
The rest of the top 12 look like this: Maverick Coffey eighth (-378), Dustin Sehn ninth (-405) and Steve Glover 10th (-562). Dan Craun 11th (-654) and Zach Sobotka 12th (-719).
Tale of the Tape: While CRSA and Crate Sprints may look the same, there are differences in the rulebook; both rulebooks will be in effect for Friday’s running.
CRSA uses a purpose-built 305 engine, while Can-Am focuses on the sealed Chevrolet 602 crate engine.
305s run on pure methanol while crates can use methanol or ethanol.
Minimum weight for 305s is 1550 lbs, while crates are 1600 lbs, both with the driver in the car.
Both sides use the Hoosier HTC Medium-1 compound right rear tire.
Past Experience: The driver amongst the CRSA regulars that will be expected to compete for a win or a very good finish will be Nick Webb.
Before purchasing a 305 engine, the Brownville native posted a win last season en route to a fifth place finish in points.
In his first full-time CRSA season, Webb is fourth in points with a top five finish and seven top 10s in nine feature appearances.
The Crate Contenders: Even if some of the 305 drivers have never seen Can-Am, the crate drivers will have the clear advantage in experience.
The man to beat by far will be Josh Verne Jr. The No. 1V has won every track championship since the class’ inception in 2022. Through 11 features in LaFargeville this year, Verne Jr. has five wins. In addition, Verne Jr. has two wins at Brockville-Ontario Speedway in 2026.
A pair of drivers who have CRSA experience and also have wins at Can-Am in 2026 include Andrew Hennessy and Ken Klinkowsky. Hennessy has one prior CRSA appearance at Weedsport, where he finished fourth in a B-Main. As for Klinkowsky, “Kamikaze” picked up his first career Can-Am victory last May. Last year, Klinkowsky had two feature appearances, finishing 14th at Weedsport and 20th at Brewerton.
Other drivers with experience include Tucker Donath, George Sanford and Rachel Zacharias.
Due Up: As the second half is underway, points leader Dalton Herrick continues to come close to ending a winless streak dating back to Sep. 2024.
Herrick has four podium finishes in the 2026 season with a best finish of second at Fulton and Fonda. In addition, Herrick has three finishes inside the top 10.
Herrick would love to score a win as soon as possible before the end of the season.
Tune In: Action can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV with Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features entries, lineups, fantasy and results.
From the Frontman: “We’re thankful to have Tyler Bartlett welcome us to his racetrack this weekend. It’s going to be an exciting night of racing as our 305s take on the Crates! We hope you start your weekend right with us!” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA will host a doubleheader next Friday and Saturday at Utica-Rome Speedway and Thunder Mountain Speedway, a part of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge and Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series. The I-90 Pit Stop Challenge champion will be crowned Friday night. Action can be seen Friday on FloRacing and Saturday on Dirt Track Digest TV.

Preston Lattomus Applying Lessons, Refining Race-Day Execution
Lewes, DE – August 5, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
After building confidence during Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, Preston Lattomus has remained a constant presence on the Pennsylvania 410 sprint car scene. Over the last few weeks, Lattomus has taken on an aggressive schedule, competing at Lincoln Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, and Port Royal Speedway, with the latter being against the High Limit Racing regulars. Over the past week, he added outings against the World of Outlaws at BAPS Motor Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway.
These recent weeks have served as a rigorous learning
experience for the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO Golf Carts,
Betts Garage No. 91 team. While the results have fluctuated, the team has
used every feature, heat, and qualifying session to collect vital data.
Lattomus has noted that while the car speed is there, the focus for the
remainder of the season is on refining race-day execution—turning that speed
into consistent, top-tier finishes.
Frustration After Too Many Mistakes
At BAPS on July 29, competing with the World of Outlaws, Lattomus qualified 15th and finished 4th in his heat race. In the A-main, however, he struggled to find rhythm early and fell to the back, eventually going a lap down.
“I was pretty frustrated with myself after BAPS; I just felt that I made way too many mistakes to get myself stuck in the back and end up getting put a lap down,” Lattomus said.
He added that the car was capable of much better than the
final result, stating, “I had a car capable of running way better but just
didn’t get to show it.”
Bad Start, Tough Track Conditions
On Friday at Williams Grove Speedway, Lattomus turned in an 11th-place effort in Flight A qualifying and moved into the heat from the 6th starting spot. But from the start, the race unfolded in the wrong direction, and he finished 9th in the heat—unable to recover.
“With the track conditions, it was hard to gain back what we
lost even though I was faster than most of the guys in front of me,”
Lattomus explained, noting that getting put in a bad spot at the start
proved costly.
Opportunities Up Front Until Late-Tire Trouble
Saturday at the Grove was a more encouraging storyline through the majority of the feature. Lattomus transferred through the heat and started the A-main in the 16th position, positioning himself to make moves as the laps progressed.
Preston said he felt he had the opportunity to race higher—until late-race misfortune ended the night.
“I had opportunities to move forward and make passes. A few different decisions and I think I could have been racing for a top 10 instead of a top 15,” he said.
Unfortunately, the run ended early.
“With about 10 laps to go, I had a left rear tire go down
and wasn’t able to finish the race,” Lattomus explained.
Formats: The Goal Stays the Same
Even with the World of Outlaws structure, Preston said the team’s approach doesn’t change—the focus remains the same from the first timing lap through the heat.
“My approach definitely doesn’t change with their format
because it’s always the same goal of lay down the best lap possible for
qualifying, and get everything I can in the heat,” Lattomus noted.
Finishing Better, More Frequently
Going into the next stretch, Preston emphasized that he is feeling really comfortable in the car—now it’s about turning that into better finishing results through smarter decisions and cleaner execution.
“I want to be finishing better than I have. I have the car and capabilities to do so. I am confident it will come very soon and very frequently,” he stated.
“We as a team are always looking to improve, but I don’t
think we are really far off when it comes to the car most nights. I have
been very comfortable the last couple of races, just not making the right
decisions.”
Upcoming Schedule
The No. 91 team will continue its summer campaign with a return to Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, PA, on August 7, followed by a trip to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA, on August 8. The team will then head to Hartford, Ohio for an event at Sharon Speedway on August 12.

POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints to Open 2027 Season at Hunt the Front’s Southern Raceway
Belleville, IL. (8/4/26) – The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410
Outlaw Sprint League will launch its 2027 season with a two-night debut at
Hunt the Front’s Southern Raceway in Milton, Florida, on February 26–27.
Serving as one of the biggest season openers in league
history, the highly anticipated weekend will award $5,000 to Friday night’s
winner before doubling to $10,000 on Saturday as the POWRi 410 Outlaw

“We’re honored to partner with POWRi to open their 2027

ESS Canada Tour Continues With Doubleheader at Brockville and Cornwall
By Curtis Berleue (Brockville, ONT) | For the first time since June, the Empire Super Sprints return to Canada this weekend for another Transport Benoit Lafleur Canada Tour doubleheader. Saturday, the tour makes its second of two stops at the Brockville Ontario Speedway, while Sunday will also be the second of two stops at the Cornwall Motor Speedway. Bonus money has been added to the purse of this weekends events, with both Brockville and Cornwall now paying $500 to start the A-Main!

Though he has no wins north of the border thus far in 2026, he holds a 26-point lead over Zach Sobotka, who won at Brighton earlier this season. Canadian Jordan Poirier is currently third, while Franek and Therrien round out the top five. Poirier has also seen victory lane at Brockville (2025) and Cornwall (2017, 2025) and he will look to build on his prior success at those tracks this weekend to improve his rank in the miniseries, along with maintaining his lead in the overall championship standings.

Joel Myers Jr Nets Two Podiums Aboard PDM No. 5
PETERSEN MEDIA: Reuniting with Wayne Priddy and Andrew Deal over the weekend to pilot the PDM No. 5 entry, Joel Myers Jr had another strong showing with the team as he ran second on Friday night at Humboldt Speedway and third on Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway.
“It was another really good showing with the PDM team,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We were able to charge from 9th to 2nd on Friday in a nonstop feature, and then backed it up with another podium on Saturday night.”
Spending the weekend competing with POWRi, Myers Jr kicked his weekend off by timing in sixth fastest in time trials, which lined him up in the second row of his heat race.
Slipping back to fourth with the waving of the green flag, the Sebastopol, CA driver settled in and clicked off laps around the Humboldt Speedway. Locking into the ‘A’ with a fourth-place finish, Myers Jr was set to roll from the ninth starting position in the feature event.
Continuing to work with his team to get the car where he wanted for the feature, Myers Jr was off and running when the green lights flashed on. Jumping into sixth when the race came to life, Myers Jr was up into fifth on the fifth lap. Continuing to get better as he clicked off laps, he took over fourth on the ninth lap as the leaders were in traffic.
Moving into third at the halfway point, Myers Jr’s march forward wasn’t complete just yet. Getting into second on the 17th lap, Myers Jr was closing in on the leader but they were still in dense traffic. Getting caught behind a slower car, Myers Jr was unable to track down the lead and closed the six-minute feature out with a second-place finish.
Returning to action on Saturday night with POWRi, the scene shifted to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. Getting off to an even better start this night, Myers Jr timed in second fastest in time trials before his fourth-place finish in his heat race placed him in the third row of the 25-lap feature event.
Taking the green flag from the outside of row three, Myers Jr was again able to carve his way forward. Working into fifth at the race’s onset, Myers Jr was into fourth by the fifth lap.
Getting hooked up in an exciting battle for fourth and fifth, Myers Jr was officially back in fifth at the halfway point of the race, but was able to win the battle on the 16th lap. Back in fourth, he closed in on a podium position and was able to take over third with just five laps left in the race. Holding the position through a late restart, Myers Jr was able to cap his weekend off with a second podium as he finished third.
“It is always fun to work with Wayne Priddy and everyone associated with the PDM team,” Myers Jr said. “Really happy to have a couple of good runs as I now turn my attention back to Hayward Motorsports and get ready for the next two weeks at Knoxville Raceway.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Velocity Engineering, Installtec Inc., RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, FK Rod Ends, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Brad Alexander Suspension, Jim O’Neal Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Andy Forsberg Back in Placerville Speedway Top-5
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to action on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA, Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team picked up a fifth-place finish.
“It was a hot week in the area, there were 81 cars in the pit area and I think it caught up to the track because it actually ended up taking a little bit of rubber at the end of the night,” Forsberg said. “The night overall was long and full of cautions, so it wasn’t a great product but it was just one of those nights across every division.”
With 29 sprint cars checked in to the pit area, Forsberg kicked his night off by timing the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No. 92 in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials.
In an eventful heat race that saw a trio of stoppages, Forsberg was able to jump into the lead during the race’s first two attempts but during the start that finally stuck he slipped back into second.
Chasing after Shane Hopkins and ultimately finishing second, the Auburn, CA driver had a little luck on his side as he was still locked into the redraw but the seven-pill put him in the fourth row of the 30-lapper.
With the night dragging on and the track taking a beating, an extremely slick surface greeted the field for the 30-lap finale. Stuck on the bottom in the opening laps as the race came to life, Forsberg slipped back to 10th before he was able to get up on the cushion like much of the field.
The action was extremely furious in front of him and as fate had it cars got together and wrecked, but Forsberg was able to avoid the altercation and pick up a few freebies.
Up into seventh, Forsberg slowly picked up a couple of positions in the final laps, and as he took the checkered in sixth, issues in post-race tech ahead of him bumped him up to a fifth-place finish.
“It was just one of those nights,” Forsberg said. “I didn’t really see anyone driving over their heads across any of the divisions, just a wild one. With another hot one ahead of us this week, I know Scott (track promoter) and the RMI team have their work cut out for them for next week’s track.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 29, Wins-8, Top 5’s-20, Top 10’s-22
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are scheduled to return to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

Dover Aiming to Build on Progress at Knoxville Raceway During Upcoming Knoxville Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 3, 2026) – Jack Dover is eager to return to Knoxville Raceway in less than two weeks for the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s after finding speed at the end of the night last Saturday at the track.
Dover guided the Tim Estenson Motorsports entry to the 22nd quickest qualifying time in his group before he advanced from 11th to ninth place in a heat race.
“Time trials are so critical and we were buried by our time,” he said. “We moved forward every time we hit the track, but it was just a bit too much to overcome.”
The car came alive in the B Main, getting stronger each lap as Dover hustled from 15th to fifth place. He ended one spot shy of transferring into the main event.
“The two times we’ve raced at Knoxville this year we’ve gotten better throughout each night and ended with our best performance our final time on the track,” he said. “Our focus is getting better earlier in the night to put ourselves in a better position.”
Dover will take this weekend off before venturing back to Knoxville Raceway for the famed Knoxville Nationals, which runs Aug. 12-15. He produced his best Knoxville Nationals result since 2021 last season.
“It’s a tough event with all of the best drivers in the country so you can’t have any setbacks or get yourself behind,” he said. “You have to be on point every time you hit the track and have things fall your way. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 1 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Qualifying: 22; Heat race: 9 (11); B Main: 5 (15).

Mallett Captures Win in First Race Since Being Sidelined for Several Weeks
Inside Line Promotions – HATTIESBURG, Miss. (Aug. 3, 2026) – Jordon Mallett bounced back in a big way last Saturday at Hattiesburg Speedway, where he was victorious during his return from a concussion.
“We picked right back up where we left off,” he said. “I’m glad to be back in the race car and super happy we continued moving that needle forward.”
Mallett, who drives for A.G. Rains, was off for approximately a month following a rough crash. He intended to resume competition on Friday during the opening night of a USCS Series doubleheader at the dirt oval, but the weekend’s event was shortened to one night following a rainout.
Mallett kicked off Saturday’s show by hustling from sixth to second place in a heat race. A sixth-place finish in the dash lined him up on the outside of the third row in the main event.
“I felt like we hadn’t missed a beat and hadn’t been off for a few weeks,” he said. “We unloaded the same hot rod we’ve unloaded most nights this year. A.G. got me really comfortable and we felt good in the heat race. The track was super narrow and super hard to pass, but we had such a good race car I could maneuver anywhere I needed to go. In the dash, we started on the inside and that line didn’t take off very good. We felt good enough to try some stuff in the dash so I tried to gauge the cars in front of me while running in the non-dominant line to see how good we were it. I used it mostly as a test session.
“In the feature, we started on the outside and the car was so balanced from the drop of the green flag. We got into third within the first lap. I slowed myself down inside the race car. It’s always a good feeling when you’re telling yourself to slow down because you have such a good race car and maneuverability. I made sure every move was super calculated. We got ourselves into second around six laps in. I chased the leader for seven or eight laps, just watching what they were doing. I knew early on I wanted to get to the lead to set the pace of the race. I hadn’t been able to lead any laps all year. We were in the lead by halfway and then set a moderate pace and made smart moves in traffic.”
The charge from sixth to Victory Lane also earned Mallett the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
The victory extended his winning streak to three straight seasons and five of the last six years.
Mallett plans to compete this Friday at Penton Raceway in Penton, Ala., and Saturday at Senioa Raceway in Senioa, Ga., with the USCS Series. He was victorious at Penton Raceway in August 2017 and finished second in September 2018 during his most recent appearance at Senoia Raceway.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 1 – Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Miss. – Heat race: 2 (6); Dash: 6 (5); Feature: 1 (6).
SEASON STATS –

“The first race where I ever drove a sprint car was at Williams Grove Speedway,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I did about four laps the whole night then went to Lincoln (Speedway) the next night and crashed in the heat race. Yeah, PA is where I got my start. I’ve got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson) and Luke (Vaughn) for busting their butts.”
The busy week in Central Pennsylvania started at BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven, Pa., on Wednesday. Gravel was sixth quickest in qualifying and he won a heat race as well as the dash before capping the night with a third-place finish in the A Main.
Two nights later, Gravel timed in fourth quickest in his group at Williams Grove Speedway. A heat race victory was followed by a fourth-place finish in the dash. Gravel gained a position in the main event to end third.
Saturday was near perfect for the team as Gravel was quickest in his group (Flight 1 quick time was quickest of the night to keep Gravel from a clean sweep). He then captured a heat race, the dash and the main event for his 10th feature triumph of the season.
The strong week pushed Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 180 points.

Starks Posts Podium to Extend Points Lead at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (Aug. 3, 2026) – Trey Starks produced his 15th podium performance of the season last Saturday at Skagit Speedway.
Starks qualified second quickest and advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race to advance into the feature redraw. He pulled the No. 4 to line up on the outside of the second row in the main event.
“We had good speed,” he said. “They got rain that morning so the track was pretty wet. We tried to adapt as well as we could.
“In the feature, it was one of those tracks where it almost got wetter and rougher throughout the night. It got pretty humid as the sun went down so you could feel the moisture come back up. We rode in fourth the first couple of laps. We got an early restart and I was able to pick off two cars in one corner. I went way above the holes and thought I found a lane that nobody else had. We had another caution a couple of laps later. I think (Justin) Sanders figured out what I was doing or somebody signaled him. When we fired off on the restart he entered on the top. I chased him for a few laps. About the midway point in the race I had a lapped car that had something wrong with the front end and looked like he was crashing right in front of me. I put the brakes on and Colton (Heath) got back by me. It ended up staying green so that shuffled us back to third. For the rest of the race I had to fight to get back to second. Coming to the checkered I got by him by just a nose to sneak back into second.”
It marked the fourth time this season that Starks placed second.
He now leads the 410 winged sprint car championship standings at Skagit Speedway by 135 points.
Starks is slated to take this weekend off before returning to Skagit Speedway on Aug. 15.

Rico the class of the field in Knoxville’s Weiler Salute to the Lasoski Family; Works to defend 360 Knoxville Nationals title
2026 High Limit Racing National Team Standings: First | Points: 1807
Date: Saturday, August 1st
Series: Knoxville Raceway | Weekly Event
Event: Weiler Salute to the Lasoski Family
Track: Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa)
Rico Abreu A-Main Finish (Start): 1st (7th)
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 2, 2026) - The High Limit Racing schedule may be on hiatus, but St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) are not, launching their massive August slate with a visit to the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, August 1.
Rico, the ace of Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 24 sprinter, made the most of his Iowa road trip, concluding the Weiler Salute to the Lasoski Family with a jump to the top of the podium. The reigning High Limit Racing champion started the 25-lapper from seventh on the grid, powering his way forward before taking command from Brian Brown with five to go - the score earned Rico $11,500+.
“You never know how these things will turn out,” said Abreu in Victory Lane. “It shows you how unpredictable sprint car racing is. Twenty-five laps non-stop…you just have to catch your wind. These are such confidence boosters as a racecar driver, just to come from High Limit races over the last few weeks. On the final night, we missed the feature at Port Royal, another half-mile, so I was really eager to get here and redeem myself.
“What a great effort from Brian Brown to put something up with short notice for the Lasoski Family,” Rico added. “I always mark this race on my calendar. I consider it a tune-up for the Knoxville Nationals.”

Brown with emotional 360 triumph at Knoxville; 360 Nationals to activate Thursday
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (August 2, 2026) - An emotional evening, nonetheless, “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing put it all on the line Saturday night at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, and although the Grain Valley, Missouri, wheelman was unable to sweep the Weiler Salute to the Lasoski Family Presented by Iowa Lottery program, he did the next best thing, concluding competition with back-to-back podiums, one of which a $3,333 victory.
Brown, the ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 33 sprint car, secured the aforementioned victory during the 360 Sprint portion of the program, activating his efforts with the third-quickest qualifying time within his group, racing on to finish second in his respective heat race.
The eventual 360 triumph was Brown’s first of the 2026 season, as well as the 14th of Brown’s career at Knoxville Raceway.
“It was a great night at Knoxville Raceway. It’s always a tough task running double duty, but Chad, JB, Devin, my dad, Devin’s dad…they did a phenomenal job keeping both cars in check all night long. We had two very fast Casey’s | FVP No. 33 cars,” Brown noted. “Honored to run my grandfather’s number all night long in both classes. To win the 360 race with my grandfather and Danny [Lasoski] in victory lane with me is pretty special. Even with the 410, I thought we had a car that was very capable of winning. Regardless, a win and a second is a great momentum kick heading into the next few weeks and we’re really looking forward to it.”
Brown’s effort in the 410 Sprint segment concluded as the evening’s second best, finishing behind Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing and California wheelman, Rico Abreu.
“I want to thank Weiler for allowing us to come on board with the Tribute to the Lasoski Family, along with the Iowa Lottery and about 20 other partners that joined our efforts in bringing this event to life. It was a lot of moving parts but it all went very well and we’re grateful.”

Angell Park Speedway Podium Highlights Triple Header
Weekend for Paul Nienhiser
PETERSEN MEDIA: A weekend triple header with the IRA saw Paul Nienhiser attack three race tracks in Wisconsin and he saved his best for last as he capped the weekend off with a third-place finish on Sunday night at Angell Park Speedway.
“Friday night was my first time at Mississippi Thunder and we also had a new engine package we were testing, and it was just a bit of a struggle,” Nienhiser said. “It ran really well, but with how slick the surface was we chased our tails a little making grip. Saturday night I dealt with a wing starting to come apart late in the race, but luckily Sunday our issues seemed to be behind us and we ran really well.”
After timing 15th fastest in qualifying and finishing 5th in his heat race, Nienhiser and team continued to make adjustments to the AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance No. 9x to try and get the car drivable.
Lining up 14th in the feature event, a top dominant track made moving forward extremely tough. With his car trending the right direction, the Chapin, IL driver did pick up a few positions as he worked his way into the Top-10 and closed the night out with a 10th place finish.
Doing some Walmart work in the parking lot on Saturday before heading to Cedar Lake Speedway, Nienhiser and team got off to a much better start later that evening. Timing in second fastest in time trials, a third-place heat race finish put Nienhiser in Dash No. 1.
As his luck would have it, the five-pill put him in the third row of the four-lap shootout. Finishing fifth, Nienhiser lined up ninth in the 30-lap finale.
Following track prep prior to the feature, Nienhiser found himself stuck back battling for 10th as the track had become quite fast. As the track started to open up, then he had to deal with a top wing that was starting to come apart. Rather than pushing the issue and risking another damaged racecar, Nienhiser played it safe and was cautious during the final 10-laps as he closed the race out with an eighth-place finish.
Sunday night brought the final night of the busy weekend as the series traveled to Sun Prairie, WI to compete at the Angell Park Speedway. With his issues seemingly behind him, Nienhiser again timed in second fastest in time trials and picked up a third-place finish in his heat race.
Pulling the one in the Dash draw, he was on the pole for Dash No. 2, and the win put him on the front row of the feature event.
When the feature event came to life, Nienhiser jumped into second as he chased after the race leader, Travis Arenz. Closing in on Arenz a few times Nienhiser was hoping to make his move in traffic, but with the way the cautions fell that opportunity never presented itself.
Late in the race, Nienhiser gave up the second position as Joel Myers Jr was able to get by. Holding on to a podium spot, he closed the weekend out with a third-place finish.
“Sunday night we weren’t perfect, but we were pretty solid,” Nienhiser said. “I thought if we could get into traffic, I would have something for Travis (Arenz), but it just didn’t happen. Big thanks to my guys for working their butts off all weekend.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-20, Wins-6, Top 5’s-10, Top 10’s-15
ON TAP: Nienhiser will be in action on Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway with MOWA and then at Plymouth Dirt Track

$11K COULD AWAIT CRSA WINNER AT OUTLAW SPEEDWAY; EMPIRE
SUPER SPRINTS JOIN, DANDY MINI SERIES CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – July 29, 2026
Money and a potential $11,000 payday await the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints as they return to Outlaw Speedway for the second time this season Friday night, where the Dandy Mini Series champion will also be crowned.
The race acts as a Sprint Car special at the Yates County facility with the Empire Super Sprints also running as part of a doubleheader.
Increased purses on the line for both series with $2011-to-win for the 305 Sprints while ESS offers a $4011-to-win top prize. If a driver wins both, they’ll receive a $5,000 bonus, bringing the total to $11,022.
Last October, a similar doubleheader took place at Outlaw in a two-day show at the Hoag Memorial, with Davie Franek winning the Empire Super Sprints feature Friday night but coming home third with the CRSA Sprints.
In addition, this race will crown CRSA’s first mini series champion in 2026 with the Dandy Mini Series. Eight drivers are mathematically eligible, with Mikey Smith leading by 21 points over Kyle Pierce and 24 points over Tyler Graves, thanks to his perfect miniseries season so far.
This is the 12th time the series runs at Outlaw. CRSA started the season May 8 with Mikey Smith leading wire-to-wire. The series will close the season at Outlaw on Oct. 16-17 with a $ 4,000-to-win show in the Hoag Memorial.
Here’s a look at the top stories entering the weekend.
Last Time Out: CRSA hosted a doubleheader last weekend. It started at Utica-Rome Speedway Friday for the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
Mike Kiser and Bobby Hackel IV started on the front row at “The Home of Heroes.” While Hackel IV led early, Kiser took it back off a restart and ran away with his 10th career CRSA victory and second at Utica-Rome.
The win for Kiser ended a near four-year winless streak, dating back to 2022.
“It feels great,” said Kiser on ending the streak. “I thought I was going to step on it there in turn one, but got her done, so I was nervous.”
The following night, “The Future Stars of Sprint Cars” invaded the high-banked bullring at Woodhull Raceway.
Nathan Pierce led the most laps, but with nine to go, catching lapped traffic, Mikey Smith ran down Pierce and found an opening on the bottom to take the lead and not look back for his third win of the season and stay perfect in the Dandy Miniseries.
“We came back [from the New York Nationals] with some notes and some setup changes and here we are in victory lane again,” said Smith. “We’re just gonna keep tacking on the wins and dominating.”
Point Standings: Taking advantage of a key run at Woodhull. Tyler Graves cut down Dalton Herrick’s championship lead to just eight points at the halfway point of the 2026 season.
Timmy Lotz (-118), Nick Webb (-177), Johnny Scarborough (-206) and Jerry Sehn Jr. (-242) all gained a spot, now third through sixth in points, respectively.
Paul Colagiovanni Sr. dropped to seventh, three points behind Jerry Sehn Jr.
The rest of the top 12 looked like this: Maverick Coffey eighth (-289), Dustin Sehn ninth (-404) and Steve Glover 10th (-532). Dan Craun 11th (-656) and Nathan Pierce 12th (-661).
As for the Dandy Mini Series, Mikey Smith leads by 21 on Kyle Pierce and 24 on Tyler Graves.
Clinching Scenarios: Clinch scenarios will be interesting regarding Friday night’s show at Outlaw.
Here are the simplified clinching scenarios for the Dandy Mini Series championship:
- If Mikey Smith finishes 10th or better in the feature, he wins the Mini Series title.
- If Smith finishes 11th, Kyle Pierce must win the feature to take the championship.
- If Smith finishes 12th or worse and Tyler Graves wins, then Graves takes the title.
- If Graves finishes second, he needs to beat Kyle Pierce by at least two spots and Smith must finish 14th or worse.
These examples lay out exactly what each driver needs to do to clinch the championship on Friday night.
However, Smith’s attendance status is unknown, which could shake things up. Should the deficit remain at three points between Pierce and Graves into Friday night’s feature, Pierce must finish higher than Graves to win the title. Graves must beat Pierce by at least two spots, but a win for Graves would beat Pierce.
If Smith doesn’t attend, it could create an opportunity for Nick Webb, Dalton Herrick, Nathan Pierce, Dustin Sehn, Ron Greek, and even Maverick Coffey, Jerry Sehn Jr., and John Smith to surpass 60 points, due to the show-up points.
Webb, for example, 28 points behind Kyle Pierce, should the gap stay the same into the feature, could win the miniseries with a win, and Kyle Pierce finishes 14th or worse, and Tyler Graves finishes 13th or worse. A second-place run and the spots would go back by one.
Updates to be given throughout the public address system during the event for those keeping track.
Possible Double Duties: Last October, these were the ESS drivers that made one-off appearances at Outlaw that could make a run in a 305. Davie Franek, Jordan Thomas, Jonathan Preston, Chad Phillips.
Franek was in the battle for the win late in the going but fell short to Dillon Paddock and Zach Sobotka.
As for Thomas, he contended for the win alongside Paddock throughout most of the race, but had nowhere to go in an accident that took him out of the race.
Last April, when ESS began its season at Outlaw, these were the CRSA drivers that could make a run in the ESS feature: Jordan Hutton, Zach Sobotka, Steve Glover, Kirsten Dombroski, Jeff Trombley, Dillon Paddock, Spencer Burley. More drivers who didn’t run that race but have had experience with ESS this season include Billy VanInwegen, Tyler Graves, Dalton Herrick, Mike Kiser, Dan Bennett, Nolan Groves, Guy Gosselin, Maverick Coffey, Tyler Chartrand, Chad Miller, Ethan Gray, Matt Rotz and Gary Drum (Not all are expected to be in attendance).
Jordan Hutton opened his year at Outlaw with his first career 360 Sprint Car victory. Hutton’s last CRSA win also came at the same facility last year.
Zach Sobotka is a former Sportsman track champion at Outlaw. His Sprint Car season includes two ESS wins this year and is scored second in points, completing the most laps of any driver and leading more laps than any other driver. He stands 36 points behind defending champion Jordan Poirier.
By the Numbers: At Outlaw, the track joined the 40 club in car count last October when they hit 42 in the Hoag Memorial. It is the 12th time the series has run at Outlaw with nine different winners. Two drivers have repeated with Darryl Ruggles and Jordan Hutton finding victory lane multiple times.
From the Frontman: “Tyler Siri is a huge supporter of Sprint Car racing in the state and continues to show it with the high-paying shows for both divisions. We’re excited to welcome ESS drivers into our shows and see if one person can walk away with a massive payday!” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: For the first time, CRSA heads to “The Nasty Track of the North” at Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville for a special showdown with 305s battling against the 602 Crate Sprint Cars Aug. 7. Action can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV for those who can’t make it.

(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway is preparing for one its biggest races of the 97th anniversary season this Saturday night (August 1). The 18th annual "Lou Blaney Memorial" will feature the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars presented by Bala Management in the region’s richest non-sanctioned Sprint Car event and the BRP Tour for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds. Warmups will get underway at 6:30 p.m. with Sprint Car qualifying and racing to follow. It's Ryan Blaney Family Foundation and Bala Management Night.
The "Lou Blaney Memorial" will celebrate the life and accomplishments of the Hall of Fame driver, who won more than 600 feature victories during a five-decade career. The legend has at least 121 Modified wins and another 11 documented in a Sprint Car at Sharon alone. Blaney passed away in 2009 after battling Alzheimer’s. Not only does the event focus on remembering the late Lou Blaney, but also honors him by raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s.
For the third straight year, the "Lou Blaney Memorial" for the Sprint Cars will pay $12,000 to-win/$1,200 to-start with a feature payoff of more than $46,000!

The hard charger in the feature will receive a $100 from Premier Pallet as well as a $100 Summit Racing Equipment gift card.
Tony Stewart, won the inaugural event in 2009. Mike Lutz was the first local winner taking the 2010 version. Texan Sam Hafertepe, Jr. won in 2011, while five-time World of Outlaws Champion, Brad Sweet, was victorious in 2012. Jack Sodeman, Jr. became the second local driver to win the prestigious event in 2013, while Dave Blaney won his father’s memorial for the first time in 2014.
Another World of Outlaws racer in Sheldon Haudenschild won the 2015 event. Pittsburgh’s Danny Holtgraver won the biggest race of his career in 2016. Christopher Bell, who went on to NASCAR glory, won his first race at the track in 2017. It took 10 years, but Dave Blaney became the event’s first repeat winner in 2018. In 2019, Dave's younger brother Dale captured his first event, while in 2020 year it was Dave's son-in-law, Cale Conley, winning his first!
Spencer Bayston became a new winner in 2021 before becoming a national touring driver. Ohio standout Cap Henry etched his name in the history books by winning in 2022. Two-time All Star Champion, Tyler Courtney, became the 14th different winner in 15 years when he won the 2023 event. Dave Blaney became a three-time winner when he won the 2024 event and abruptly announced his retirement from racing in victory lane. Danny Dietrich become the 15th different winner as he fended off Dale Blaney in last year’s event.
For the second straight year, Dale Blaney's attempt at a second "Lou Blaney Memorial" victory will come in the Dave Blaney-owned #10 as he seeks to give his brother a fourth win in the event as a car owner.
Sharon has completed four “410” Sprint Car events in 2026 with four different winners; in fact, three of them have been first time winners at the track! Logan Wagner invaded from Central PA to win Western PA Speedweek on May 31. Zeth Sabo not only scored his first career Sharon win, but his first career All Star Circuit of Champions victory when he won Ohio Speedweek on June 13. Local standout Brandon Spithaler won just his second career Sharon “410” feature on June 27. And last Saturday night saw another Central PA invader in Dylan Norris winning his first at the Hartford, Ohio oval.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds will race in a $2,500 to-win BRP Tour-sanctioned event. There have been 13 different winners in 17 “Lou Blaney Memorial” Modified events; however, it has been seven years since a local was victorious.
New York legend Jack Johnson captured the inaugural 2009 race, while local Ohio drivers Jim Rasey and Rob Kristyak stole the thunder in 2010 and 2011. Kevin Bolland won the prestigious event in 2012 and fellow western Pa. racer Dave Murdick joined him in 2013. In 2014, Rex King, Jr. won the event part of his dream season, while in 2015 the late Jim Weller, Jr. added his name to the win list. Rasey became the first repeat winner in 2016. Jeremiah Shingledecker got his first event win in 2017, while New York’s Mike Maresca ended the locals’ run of eight straight event wins thanks to his victory in 2019.
Five years after his first win, King, Jr. added his second event win in 2019. Erick Rudolph and Chad Brachmann became the third and fourth Empire State racer to be victorious in the event in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Rudolph became the event's third repeat winner by capturing the 2022 event. In 2023, another invader won as Mat Williamson of Ontario, Canada captured his first career Sharon Speedway victory. In 2024, Rudolph joined Dave Blaney as the only three-time winners of the “Lou Blaney Memorial” across both divisions.

Arenz seals 75th career feature victory
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 29, 2026 – In a season highlighted by remarkable consistency, Travis Arenz broke through to score his first A-main victory of the year in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., and run his overall career feature victory tally to 75 on Sunday, July 26.
With 23 IRA Sprint Cars signed in, Arenz opened the night by qualifying seventh with a time of 13.485 seconds around the historic third-mile Angell Park clay oval.
After starting and finishing second in the first IRA heat race, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver drew the pole position for the first IRA dash and brought it home first to claim the pole position for the 30-lap main event.
From the drop of the green flag Arenz was the class of field throughout the race, pulling away from the pack on three restarts, including one open red, and skillfully slicing his way through lapped traffic on the way to his first main event win of the 2026 season, fourth IRA A-main victory, fifth triumph in the seat of a 410 Sprint Car and 75th overall career main event victory.
The IRA tripleheader weekend opened at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, July 24. After qualifying second in the 30-car field with a lap of 12.081 seconds, Arenz placed third in the second heat race and fourth in dash 1 to claim the seventh starting spot in the 30-lap IRA headliner.
The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion ran in the top five throughout the majority of the race en route to a strong fourth-place showing.
On Saturday, July 25, Arenz ventured to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for the prestigious $10,000-to-win Jerry Richert Memorial.
With a stellar field of 41 cars on hand, Arenz qualified fifth in Flight B in 12.790 seconds before finishing second in the third heat race to gain the 12th starting slot in the 30-lap main event.
He fell back to 14th in the first half of the race before rallying in the closing stages to post a solid seventh-place finish.
Arenz’s outstanding weekend vaulted him to the top of the IRA point standings with 10 races remaining in the 2026 season.
“I'm very pleased with the results from a long and tiring weekend,” Arenz said. “I wouldn't say we had any horrible nights, but there is always room for improvement. After Saturday night, I had taken over the points lead, so I knew there was no question that I needed to be smooth and consistent on Sunday at Angell Park to maintain or increase our lead.
“From qualifying in the middle of the group, I was able to make the dash,” he said. “I had a little luck on my side to draw the dash starting position and earn the pole position come feature time. I knew I had to be aggressive to maneuver lap traffic but also be smooth enough to keep the car under me through the ruts. Keeping the car free was the key to the win.”

Landon Brooks Scores 2nd SCCT Win of Season at Cottage Grove
PETERSEN MEDIA: Building off of a very strong weekend in Watsonville, CA with the NARC series, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team made the trip to Oregon to catch up with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour’s Speedweek, where Brooks had a strong showing that included his second win of the season.
“It was a good week for us dating back to our trip to Watsonville,” Landon Brooks said. “We continued to dial our new car in, and we were really consistent each night we hit the track.”
Meeting up with the series on Monday at the Douglas County Dirt Track, Brooks stayed hot as he timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in ninth fastest in time trials, and then went on to win his heat race.
Going from sixth to third in the Dash, Brooks rolled off of the starting grid from the inside of the second row for the 30-lap feature. Settling into fourth when the race went green, Brooks got into a hotly contested three-car battle for third for a few laps that saw him as high as third but also as far back as fifth.
As the race continued, Brooks settled into fourth as he chased after the likes of Braden Chiaramonte and Colby Copeland. Staying inside the Top-5, Brooks capped the night off with a fifth-place finish as Speedweek then shifted to Coos Bay Speedway on Tuesday.
Timing in seventh fastest and running second in heat race action on this night, Brooks lined up seventh in the 30-lap feature event. From his fourth row starting position, the Rio Oso, CA driver was again very good as he could put his car where he needed to move forward.
Racing into the Top-5 once again, Brooks capped things off with another fourth-place run.
Moving to Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday night, Brooks had his best showing of the week on the always racy ¼ mile bullring. Running second in his heat race, Brooks earned a spot in the Dash where another third-place finish placed him in the second row of the feature event.
Jumping into second as the race came to life, Brooks paced the leader for the first five laps, before powering into the top spot on the sixth lap. Out in front, Brooks was the class of the field. Leading the final 24 laps, Brooks went on to capture his second win of the season as the team turned their attention to Skagit Speedway.
Following a travel day on Thursday, the team checked in for the 360 Nationals on Friday night. Timing in 11th fastest in his flight, Brooks finished fifth in his heat race and with the event being points based he was forced into the ‘B’ main.
Lining up seventh in the semi, Brooks was able to flex his muscle and power his way into third. Holding the position, he moved into the feature event and took the green flag from the 23rd starting position.
Amidst a very wild feature event, Brooks was able to pass cars at will just as he has been able to do all year. Able to avoid some of the calamity in the first half of the race, lap 17 proved different. While running in 13th, cars got together in front of him and with nowhere to go Brooks made contact and caused extensive damage to his car.
With his night over, his weekend was in jeopardy, but the Hamilton Racing team went to work on Saturday morning and were able to make chassis repairs to allow them to run on Saturday.
Getting a great start in his qualifier, Brooks jumped into a transfer spot. Holding the position, Brooks’ 4th place finish put him in the 40-lap feature and in the 20th starting spot.
A torrid pace by the leaders saw them quickly reach the back of the field as the race went green for the first 24 laps. Unfortunately going a lap down, during that run, Brooks was trapped around the 18th position.
Doing what he could during the second half of the race, Brooks closed his trip out with a 19th place finish in the feature.
“All week long we were really fast, but we still were just a little off in time trials,” Brooks noted. “I know with this car we are trending the right way, and I know we will get where we need to be when we get back racing in a couple of weeks. I also want to thank the Hamilton family and everyone that helps on our car and made this trip possible and ensured we had a proper racecar night in and night out.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.

Colby Copeland Claims SCCT Speedweek Championship with C&M Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- Taking part in SCCT Speedweek, Colby Copeland and C&M Motorsports were models of consistency as a very strong week was rewarded with the overall Speedweek Championship on the strength of six Top-5’s in seven nights, which also included two podium runs.
“I am really happy with how our week went from start to finish,” Colby Copeland said. “It is a week that I have always enjoyed, and I am really happy we were able to earn the Speedweek Championship.”
Copeland and the C&M Motorsports team were locked in from the moment the first green flag dropped back on the 16th at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA. A solid opening night saw the Roseville, CA driver score a fifth-place finish aboard the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7C entry.
With the tone for the week set, the team checked in at Placerville Speedway on the 17th as Copeland and company were again very strong despite a feature that was plagued with numerous stoppages. When the wild race came to an end, Copeland pocketed a third-place finish as the team then headed for Oregon.
Checking in at Douglas County Dirt Track on Monday night, a track that Copeland has won at in the past, Copeland put on quite the charge after lining up in the 12th starting position. With a very strong car under him, Copeland worked his way into the Top-5 and used a late restart to power into the runner up position where he would finish.
Earning fast time honors on Tuesday night at Coos Bay Speedway, Copeland found himself in the fifth starting position later on in the feature event. Following track prep prior to the feature, Copeland got too high on the speedway and into some grease and slipped all the way back to 11th on the first lap.
Able to settle back into the racing groove, Copeland was impressive as he made up for the early issues. Working his way back through the field, Copeland fought his way back to a fifth-place finish.
Cottage Grove Speedway played host on Wednesday night, and after timing in seventh fastest in time trials, Copeland was again able to work his way into the Top-5 as he pocketed a fourth-place finish and the Oregon portion of the week wrapped up.
Checking into Skagit Speedway on Friday night for the first of two nights, the night started off with Copeland again timing in seventh quickest.
Advancing to a second-place finish from his fourth starting position in his heat race, Copeland was fourth in event points and locked into the 12th starting position on a very rough and heavy racing surface.
Amidst another wild and crazy feature event, Copeland was able to keep his nose clean for the most part as he avoided some of the carnage taking place around him. Able to finish sixth in the feature, Copeland just narrowly missed out on locking into Saturday’s feature on points, but was on the front row of his Saturday qualifier.
Picking up the win in his qualifier on a much different surface for Saturday’s action, Copeland then finished fifth in the Pole Shuffle, and rolled off the starting grid from the fifth starting position for the final 40-lap feature of the week as he chased after not only the $26K that was up for grabs to win the race, but also the Speedweek Championship.
Battling inside the Top-Five all race long, Copeland was able to work his way as high as third in the 40-lapper, but in the end, it was a fifth-place finish for him and the C&M Motorsports team, which was enough to cap off the week-long championship.
“It was a ton of fun, and it was great to be up front and contending for wins every night,” Colby Copeland said. “I am really thankful for Cody and Mandi, as well as Bobby for a great week, and all of the support, and hard work during a long week.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland will return to action on August 22nd at Placerville Speedway with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-22, Wins-1, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-14

Pokorski makes impression at Mississippi Thunder-Cedar Lake
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 28, 2026 – Alex Pokorski and the GR8 Team pocketed two more valuable learning experiences competing against top regional and national competitors with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series in the western portion of Wisconsin July 24-25.
Pokorski got off to a quick start at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, July 24, qualifying fifth in the 30-car field in 12.151 seconds. After taking seventh in the second IRA heat race, Pokorski secured a spot in the A main by placing second in the B Main.
After rolling off 20th, the West Bend, Wis. native advanced three positions to come home 17th in the 30-lap headliner.
Pokorski and the GR8 crew headed to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, July 25 for the Jerry Richert Memorial.
He qualified 18th in Flight A in 13.022 seconds before placing sixth in the second heat race. A solid second-place run in the first 10-lap B Main gave Pokorski the 23rd starting spot in the main event.
The seventh-year driver then charged up seven spots to nail down a 16th-place showing in the 30-lap A main to close out the two-race weekend.
“I was happy to have Phil [Mock] helping with setups again this weekend,” Pokorski said. “It gave us a different perspective and new ideas. We tried different setups and I was happy with the car. I enjoyed the weekend overall.”
Next up for the Alex Pokorski-GR8 Team is an open event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 8.

Hartmann hones in on home track return
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 28, 2026 – One week after bagging his first career A-main win at River Cities Speedway in North Dakota, Austin Hartmann, along with the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team, trekked to northwestern Wisconsin for a pair of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events July 24-25.
The doubleheader weekend fired up at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, July 24. With 30 cars checked in for the event, the Plymouth, Wis. driver opened the night with a strong seventh-place qualifying run in 12.239 seconds at the picturesque third-mile high-banked clay oval.
After starting on the outside of the front row of the first IRA heat race, the driver of the pole-sitting car slipped up into Hartmann as the two competitors dueled for the lead on the opening lap. The contact forced Hartmann to visit the work area for repairs. After restarting the race at the rear of the field, he ended up with a ninth-place finish.
The seventh-year Sprint Car competitor rebounded to race his way into a berth in the evening’s main event by placing third in the 12-lap B main. Hartmann started 22nd in the 30-lap IRA headliner and capped the night with an 18th-place showing.
One night later, Hartmann and crew traveled north with the IRA to the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., for the Jerry Richert Memorial.
After qualifying 12th in Flight A in 12.574 seconds, Hartmann placed eighth in the second heat race. He advanced from the fifth starting spot to place third in the first 10-lap B main to miss qualifying for the 30-lap main event by one spot.
“It was a rough weekend,” Hartmann said. “Our night got changed in a big way in the heat race on Friday, not by my doing. On Saturday, we unloaded decent. We just needed to make better decisions on setup. Also, bringing out a new engine for the weekend really changed the feel of the car.”
The Plymouth, Wis.-based team is set to race in its own backyard for a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. this Saturday, Aug. 1.
Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with “on-track action” scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.
The event will be live streamed on floracing.com.

Point Championship Battles Continue at Tri-City Raceway
Park This Friday Night!
FRANKLIN, PA — Championship battles are nearing the end at Tri-City Raceway
Park as the Venango County half-mile prepares for a thrilling night of
4-Star Racing this Friday, July 31st, for Twin State Auto Racing Club Night.
With just a couple of races remaining before the point champions are
crowned, every single position on the track will be crucial. The most
intense title fight of the season belongs to the high-flying Hovis Auto &
Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars, where a razor-thin margin of only three points
separates leader Brandon Matus and veteran challenger Bob Felmlee. Matus is
chasing his second career track championship on the half mile, looking to
replicate his 2021 title run. Meanwhile, Felmlee, who stands as the track’s
second all-time leading feature winner in the Sprint Car division, already
holds three crowns from 1996, 1998, and 2006, and the veteran driver is
highly motivated to add a fourth to his resume. Parity has defined the
division all summer, producing six different winners across nine feature
races, with Brandon Spithaler leading the charge courtesy of his three
victories.
In the RK Virgile Iron & Steel Pro Stock division, Jake Whitling is on the
hunt for his first career track championship, holding a 54-point cushion
over Pat Fielding as cars roll onto the track this Friday night. Curt J.
Bish has been steadily chipping away at the gap but still faces a 65-point
deficit behind the leader. The division continues to see heavy pressure from
the track's all-time leading greats, Bobby Whitling, who has pushed his
career total to 67 wins by parking his car in victory lane three times this
season. Bish has claimed a pair of victories this year, while the younger
Whitling celebrated a career milestone by scoring his very first Pro Stock
win back on June 5th.
The 21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars have evolved into a dramatic
two-man heavyweight match. Defending track champion Blaze Myers holds a
35-point advantage over Gale Ruth Jr. heading into this weekend's action.
Out of the seven races contested so far, Myers has captured four checkered
flags while Ruth has taken three, leaving fans wondering if anyone can break
their season-long stranglehold on victory lane. Drivers like Zach Morrow,
Ricky Tucker II, and Joe Buccola have put together incredibly solid
campaigns all summer and are primed to break through for an upset win.
Meanwhile, the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars have largely been
dominated by William Baker Jr., who has put on an absolute clinic by winning
six out of seven races this season. The lone driver to disrupt his perfect
streak has been Billy Myers Sr. The only time Baker failed to win was due to
an engine failure, and that mechanical heartbreak is the precise reason
defending track champion Raiddan Wilson remains squarely in the hunt,
sitting just 36 points behind. Sneaking up in the third spot is teenage
standout Cole Laskey, who continues his impressive season with 529 points.
With title tension at an all-time high, Friday night promises to deliver an
unforgettable evening of short-track racing for fans of all ages.

Placerville Speedway opens big month of August with Carnett Clash
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is set to launch the month of August during one its special nights of the year for both the Ltd. Late Models and Pure Stocks, with the annual “Carnett Clash” presented by Ford’s Only taking place this Saturday.
Joining the Ltd. Late Models and Pure Stocks at the Carnett Clash will be the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks and Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars.
This Saturday August 1st is the final show that includes free fan parking thanks to the El Dorado County Fair Association. It also launches four straight “Summertime Saturday Nights” of racing that all concludes with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing on August 22nd.
The Kings Meats Ltd Late Model feature this Saturday at the Carnett Clash will hand out a solid $2,000 to win, $1,000 for second, $750 for third, $500 for fourth and is guaranteed $250 to start. The Xtreme Ltd. Late Model Series is also donating three gas cans that will go to three different cars in the main event by random draw.
The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stock feature will dish out $1,000 to win, $500 for second, $350 for third and is guaranteed $250 to start.
The Pure Stock portion of the Carnett Clash will once again be open to multiple competitors from various tracks throughout our region. As noted in a previous release, the event will be show up points only, with the local track divisions welcomed in.
The Mini Truck feature will also offer a stout $400 to win, $200 for second and guaranteed $50 to start. Forryst Carnett is working on the Late Model portion while Russ Murphy with Ford’s Only is heading up the Pure Stock side of things.
Bryan Carnett was a true fan of the stock car divisions at Placerville Speedway while racing, owning, and sponsoring both Pure Stocks and Late Models throughout the decade he spent at the track. Bryan had a knack for storytelling. He could carry on a conversation with anyone and oftentimes had people in tears laughing from his sense of humor.
He was known for his generous, caring personality and was always willing to give of himself to help someone in need. On October 18, 2015, after a short but aggressive battle with brain, bone and lung cancer, Bryan passed away at his home in Placerville surrounded by his family.
“Placerville Speedway has always been our home track, and I am thrilled that Scott Russell and Kami Arnold were willing to host the Carnett Clash once again,” said Forryst Carnett, son of the late Bryan Carnett. “I am hoping we can build upon the success we’ve had and have another exciting night of racing, which is the best way to remember the competitive spirit of my dad.”
Oakley’s Nick Baldwin is in search of an eighth Pure Stock championship at Placerville Speedway and heads into the Carnett Clash sitting atop the standings. Baldwin is fresh off his sixth triumph of the season at the most recent race and looks to add the Carnett to his fantastic campaign thus far.
The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models continue to be led by Yuba City’s Rod Oliver. The defending track champion has one win and top five efforts at each race. Auburn’s Ray Trimble leads the way in the wins category with four triumphs to his credit thus far.
Young Noah Lapoint brings the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck point lead into the Carnett Clash. The Camino driver has put together a strong year with three wins overall.
With four races left in the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car season it is Justyn Cox who sits atop the standings. The 2023 SCCT champion holds a 29-point lead over Andy Forsberg heading into the Carnett Clash on Saturday.

Andy Forsberg 2nd at Marysville Raceway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making the decision to head to Marysville Raceway on Saturday night to test out a new brake package on the PHR No. 92, Andy Forsberg took a bit to adapt to the changes but still was able to come away with a second-place finish.
“I am fortunate to drive for a great car owner, and he likes to have cool things,” Andy Forsberg said. “He got a new Smith TI brake system for us, so we decided to head to Marysville Raceway over the weekend to test it out essentially. It was way different than what I was used to, but after some adjustments I think we landed in a pretty good spot with them.”
Going out first in time trials, Forsberg was unable to get a good lap in as he ended up 11th fastest in the group. Lining up sixth in his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver was able to pick up a few positions as a fourth-place finish put him in the fourth row of the 25-lap feature event.
Feeling much better about his car and his brake pedal after his heat, Forsberg set out for the feature event looking to make a run from the eighth starting position.
When the race came to life, Forsberg quickly jumped into seventh as he worked around the Marysville Raceway surface. Getting into sixth on the fourth lap, the Auburn, CA driver was into the top-five on the fifth lap and quickly took over fourth a lap later.
Continuing to look for a way forward while running in fourth, Forsberg moved into third at the race’s halfway point as he continued to navigate traffic and chase after race leader, Sean Becker. Finally getting into second on the 19th lap, Forsberg was able to cut into the gap that Becker had built up, but was unable to really close in and settled for a second-place finish.
“The track really got around the bottom in the feature and made things a little tricky,” Forsberg said. “But, we were able to move forward and I feel really good about this new brake package.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 28, Wins-8, Top 5’s-19, Top 10’s-21
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will be in action at Silver Dollar Speedway on Friday night and Placerville Speedway on Saturday.

Mallett Back to Action This Weekend at Hattiesburg Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (July 27, 2026) – Jordon Mallett is eager to return to racing following three weeks off to recuperate from a concussion.
“Nobody ever wants to have to sit on the sidelines from an injury from race cars, but it’s part of it,” he said. “I’m eager to get back in the car. Every day that passes that I’m not in the car it bothers me more. I’m just ready to get back in the car and let things start feeling normal again for this time of the year.”
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains plan to compete with the USCS Series this Friday and Saturday at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Miss.
Mallett ran second at the track earlier this season and produced results of first and second there in August 2024.
“I feel pretty good about it,” he said. “We had one there earlier this year when we ran second after an ill-timed caution came out. I felt we had a car to win. The next night we had a mechanical failure. In years past I’ve ran pretty well there so it’s one I feel confident rolling in to for sure.”
Mallett was riding an eight-race top-five streak prior to his DNF from the injury at his most recent race earlier this month.
“I feel like if we can just go and hit our marks and do our job there’s no reason we won’t be a top contender this weekend,” he said. “I know we have the package to win if everything goes our way. That’s been the story of the year. We’re going into it with the same mentality of knowing we have a fast hot rod night in and night out. We want to put ourselves in contention each night and hopefully things will start rolling our way in the victory column.”

Dover Drives to Top Five at Rapid Speedway and Top 10 at Jackson Motorplex
Inside Line Promotions – JACKSON, Minn. (July 27, 2026) – Jack Dover advanced a handful of positions last week during a pair of Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series races.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor drove from 10th to fifth place on Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and from 12th to eighth place on Friday at Jackson Motorplex. A race on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., was cancelled because of the weather.
“It was a solid week and we made progress,” Dover said. “I always say any night you can move forward is a good night and we did that both times we were able to race.”
Dover placed third in a heat race to open the action at Rapid Speedway. He wrapped up the night by maneuvering to his eighth top-five finish of the season.
“I felt very good,” he said. “My thought when I went out for the feature was I didn’t care where we finished, we just needed to survive. It was probably the roughest track I’d been on in 10 or 12 years. I knew if we’re going to win a championship we needed to finish the race. The track was rutted up and nasty. They went out and reworked it. They tried everything they could. It was just an anomaly. Coming out of there with a top five considering everything, it was a good night.”
Three nights later, Dover gained two positions in a heat race to place fifth at Jackson Motorplex.
“We were really good in hot laps and switched the gear for the heat race and maybe went a little too far,” he said. “We got two cars, but needed one more to make the feature redraw. We weren’t very good at the beginning of the feature, but in the last 12 laps we were really good. We’re going to try some things this Friday and I’m looking forward to going back. We’re not far off. We just need to be better at the beginning of the race.”
Dover plans on returning to Jackson Motorplex this Friday for another MSTS show before venturing to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday. Both races are part of the Border Battle.
“We have good notes for Jackson and know what we need in the car to be a little better,” he said. “The last time we were at Knoxville we tried some things at the beginning of the night that we won’t try again. We’ll go with something completely different and hope it works better.”
QUICK RESULTS –
July 21 – Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa – Heat race: 3 (1); Feature: 5 (10).

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Capture Victories in Canada and the United States
Inside Line Promotions – WEEDSPORT, N.Y. (July 27, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports enjoyed a big week that featured a pair of wins and three podiums during a trio of World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series races.
Following a rainout last Tuesday at Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada, David Gravel guided the team to a clean sweep at the track on Wednesday – setting quick time during qualifying before winning a heat race, the dash and the main event. It marked his third consecutive triumph at the track dating back to a pair of wins last year.
“Just like last year, I felt like we weren’t that great early on, and then once we burned this fuel load off, the car came to life,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “Carson (Macedo) was really good with the fuel load. Right about halfway the car started coming to me, and I got the wing back. For whatever reason it was kind of déjà vu. I’ve got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson) and Luke (Vaughn) for giving me a great race car all night long. What a night.”
The action shifted to Weedsport Speedway on Saturday for the start of a weekend doubleheader. Gravel was quickest in qualifying, won a heat race, advanced from fifth to third place in the dash and gained a position to place second in the main event.
The weekend concluded the ensuing night with Gravel setting quick time during qualifying, capturing a heat race victory, placing fifth in the dash and hustling from fifth to win the main event – his sixth straight season with a trip to Victory Lane at Weedsport Speedway.
“Cody, Luke and Zach kept working on it and put something back in it that worked a lot better than the dash and (we) had a great race car there,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “It feels good hitting that bottom in (turns) one and two and kind of going where they weren’t in (turns) three and four. Logan (Schuchart) was kind of running the top, and Sheldon (Haudenschild) was kind of running down the track. I just kind of had the top to myself, and it worked out. Sheldon showed his nose on Logan, and Logan went low and the top was open for me. A couple racing things went my way there.”
The strong week pushed Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 154 points. The two victories also moved him back into a tie for the most World of Outlaws wins – nine – this season.
The team will venture to Central Pennsylvania this week for races on Wednesday at BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven during the Bricker’s Bash and Friday and Saturday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg during the C&D Rigging Summer Nationals.
Gravel won a World of Outlaws race at BAPS Motor Speedway in July 2023 and he has Series triumphs at Williams Grove Speedway earlier this season as well as in 2014, 2017 (three times), 2019 (twice), 2020 (twice) and 2024.
QUICK RESULTS –
July 22 – Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 1 (1); Feature: 1 (1).
July 25 – Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 3 (5); Feature: 2 (3).

$4,011 to Win Outlaw Summer Nationals Next for Empire
Super Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | One of the biggest nights of sprint car
racing in New York is set to hit the track on Friday night at Outlaw
Speedway in Dundee, NY. The Empire Super Sprints will be competing in the
annual Outlaw Summer Nationals, an event that will pay $4,011 to the winner.
Also on the card for the night will be the CRSA 305 sprints, competing for a
$2,011 top prize. Over the past few seasons, there has been an increased
number of drivers competing simultaneously in the 305 and 360 ranks in the
northeast, and as such a bonus has been put up – if a driver is to win both
the 360 and 305 A-Main on Friday night, they will take home an extra $5,000.
That means one drive could potentially leave Dundee with an $11,022 payday.
In one previous Empire Super Sprints A-Main held at Outlaw this season,
Jordan Hutton was victorious. He picked up $4,220 with his victory in the
Outlaw Spring Nationals back on April 24. Hutton will look to repeat his
early season success in Dundee in chase of the bonus money this weekend – he
also has won at the track in a 305 (August, 2025).
With the season now in its mid-summer stretch, Jordan Poirier still sits
atop the standings with a 36 point lead over Zach Sobotka. Perennial Outlaw
Speedway favorite Davie Franek is currently third, with Jordan Thomas and
Jason Barney rounding out the top five. While Poirier hopes to make 2026 a
fifth-straight championship season, the battle is far from over with 12
A-Mains having been completed thus far, and 12 left to be completed on the
schedule.
The Donath Motor Worx Dash will be presented by Lanes Yamaha this Friday.
Located just over the hill from the Outlaw Speedway in Watkins Glen, Lanes
Yamaha has been a longtime supporter of both the Outlaw Speedway and Empire
Super Sprints.

Starks Produces Podium During Challenging Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (July 27, 2026) – Trey Starks earned a podium finish during the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals finale at Skagit Speedway for the third season in a row and for the fourth time in the last five years last Saturday.
“We were in position, but just didn’t get the job done,” he said. “We had our fair share of issues on our prelim night, but we were still in position. Considering everything that happened during the weekend, I feel good about what we salvaged. But I also feel like we could have put ourselves in a better position to win and we just weren’t 100 percent.”
Starks opened the marquee event on Friday by qualifying second quickest in his group.
“We had good speed and were second quick in our group,” he said. “Then we went sixth to third in the heat race so that gave us good points. It put us fourth in points going into the feature, starting 13th.
“We fired off really good and I moved through the pack way quicker than I expected. We had a caution about 10 or 12 laps in and we were up to fourth. We fired off on the restart and there was a fair amount of grease on the bottom. I entered a little higher because the car in front of me went to the bottom. He got into the grease and shot straight up the track. We made contact and I ended up getting tagged by another car coming through. It bent a bunch of guys’ stuff up and banged our stuff up pretty good. We went into the work area and the damage was bad enough we weren’t going to try to go back out, but we know how these events go and every point is so important. We decided to go back out with significant damage on the right front to salvage what we could. We restarted at the back and passed some cars and survived. When the dust settled we were eighth, which put us second in points.”
The long night continued as the team was forced to build a new car for Saturday’s finale.
“We had to build a second car for the final night as that car was toast,” Starks said. “We had a long night and an early morning. We felt pretty good in hot laps and went out for the pole shuffle and I just didn’t get a good start. We probably let that mess with us more than just saying we had a bad start. We tuned on some things more than we should have. We started third in the feature and didn’t fire off well. We fell back as far as eighth. It took about 15 laps to get the car in the right direction. Once we did we were moving forward, but ran out of time.”
Starks rallied during the second half of the race for a third-place result, which was his 14th podium performance of the season.
He now leads the 360 championship standings at Skagit Speedway by 127 points.
Starks will return to the high-banked oval this Saturday for a 410 division race. He’s also atop that division’s championship standings, leading by 21 points.
QUICK RESULTS –
July 24 – Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 3 (6); Feature: 8 (13).
July 25 – Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. – Pole shuffle: 3; Feature: 3 (3).

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2026
The calendar for the 2026-27 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series (MTSS) is locked and loaded.
The Sprintcar Entrants Group (SEG), as the convenor of the MTSS, has now ratified the final calendar.
There will be 24 nights of sprintcar racing here in Western Australia this coming summer, with 23 of those being official rounds of the series – this is exactly the same number of dates as last year’s championship.
The bulk of the rounds will be held at the world-class Perth Motorplex and the SEG is incredibly proud to have a strong relationship with Motorplex management.
It kicks off with the City of Kwinana Powerpalooza on Saturday, October 24 and wraps up with the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series Grand Final on Saturday, April 10.
The usual highlights are back, including Speedweek, which is showcased by the third High Limit International: Perth, as well as the Festival of Sprintcars.
The series will feature two rounds in Bunbury this season, with the South West venue to host the WA Sprintcar Championship for the first time in a while.
Albany will host another round prior to Christmas and the series will return to Geraldton for a big double header long weekend show at the end of February.
SEG chairman Geoff Kendrick said a lot of meetings were held in the off-season to produce the calendar, with other venues considered.
“We thank all the venues/clubs that we have been engaged with – it is always important to consider tracks that will best showcase the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series – and while we would love to race at more places, it is hard to fit it all into a schedule that is workable for the teams,” Kendrick said.
“We are excited about all the shows we have planned and we can't wait to go racing in October.”

CHEERS TO VICTORY: Andrews and Real American Beer on top at Fremont, Attica and Mansfield on deck
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (July 27, 2026) - It was a weekend to remember for Chris Andrews, Chris Andrews Racing and Real American Beer, not only earning back-to-back podiums in visits to Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 24-25, but Saturday’s trip to “The Track That Action Built” resulted in victory - Andrews’ second of the season and his first in Fremont, Ohio.
Andrews, who powers the Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Erie Waste, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprinter, earned his $4,000 score in dramatic fashion, surviving a hard-fought, final few circuits battle with Bryce Lucius. Nonetheless, the eventual triumph - the 12th of Andrews’ career at Fremont Speedway - was also a bit of redemption, as Andrews lost the lead to Lucious the night prior at Attica Raceway Park; he finished third.
“That was kind of the opposite of my driving style lately. I finally got this thing to go the way I wanted it to,” Andrews was quick to note. ”Attica was a bummer…it hurt pretty bad. I thought we had that one wrapped up. We are finally getting this car good and the Kistler motor is ripping, the shocks are good, my entire crew is working hard…it’s just good.”
As noted, the victory was Andrews’ second of the season, the first accomplished at Waynesfield Raceway Park with the All Star Circuit of Champions.
“If all goes according to plan, we’ll be back at Attica Friday before heading over to Mansfield on Saturday,” Andrews added. “It should be a fun weekend.”
ON DECK:
Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will continue their 2026 campaign
with visits to Attica Raceway Park (AFCS $5,000) and Mansfield Speedway
(FAST $10,000) on Friday and Saturday, July 31 and August 1.

Like many of the tracks he visits, Whittall knows his way around Bridgeport, securing back-to-back Dirty Jersey finale triumphs along the way.
Momentum, nonetheless, other recent highlights for Justin Whittall include a 12th-place performance in Port Royal’s Greg Hodnett Classic - featuring High Limit Racing - on Saturday, July 25.
“Just really excited to have the opportunity to join High Limit in New Jersey, as well as the Outlaws again in Central Pennsyvlania…it’s what we all work for…we want to win,” Whittall, backed by RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pandemonium Bar & Grill, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, and Milky Way Restaurant, said. “We’re hoping for a great week and a great showing.”

SKAGIT SPEEDWAY PRESS RELEASE: Breast Cancer Awareness
Night
ALGER, WA – Join us this Saturday, August 1 for Breast Cancer Awareness
Night at Skagit Speedway, all ladies get in the gates for just $5. The Hill
Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars return, joined by the Sportsman Sprint Cars and
the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA topless Modifieds!
The Hill Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars are back after last racing on July 11 during Hall of Fame night. Trey Starks clicked off his third 410 Sprint Car win of the year, leading all 30 laps with little challenge from his competition behind. Starks is now just one win shy of matching his 410 season win total in 2025, which was four. In 10 features run so far this year, Starks has finished in the top five in seven of them; his three worst finishes came during Super Dirt Cup, where he ended up 13th, 21st, and 24th. That weekend allowed young Levi Hillier to take over the top spot in the points standings; however, Starks has now regained the top spot once more.
Starks leads with 1041 points, Hillier is second -21 points back, and Tyler Thompson is third -128 points back. Hillier has one win, seven top fives, and nine top 10s in 10 features raced, while Thompson has one win, five top fives, and seven top 10s in nine features raced. The only other winner in weekly competition is Robbie Price, who sits fourth in points.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars are also back after last racing during Hall of Fame night, when Nate Vaughn put on a show, driving from 12th to the win, predominantly using the bottom side of the speedway to work his magic. Seth Hespe jetted out to the early advantage, leading the first 12 laps around the top side before Vaughn passed him on the bottom. Hespe wound up fifth after losing the lead. David Green also made a nice charge driving from sixth to second. Jeff Westergard leads the points battle with 572; Hespe is second -41 points back, and Macie Logsdon is third in points -54 points back.
Westergard has yet to miss the top five in five features raced; Hespe has missed the top five once but has not missed the top 10. Logsdon, Jailynn Serrano, and Jesson Jacobson all have yet to finish outside the top 10 as well this year in five total features. Westergard is the only driver to have multiple wins in the division; he has two.
For the only time this year, the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds will run topless. The last time the Modifieds went topless at Skagit Speedway was also during Breast Cancer Awareness Night in 2025. Rick Smith won that night.
The last time the Modifieds raced this year was on July 4, when Lane Zerbin picked up his first career victory. Cory Gordon led the first four laps before Zerbin passed him and never looked back. Cole Logan leads the Modified points battle with 192, Tyson Blood continues to sit in the second spot just three points back, while Rory Smith is third, seven points back. Blood has yet to finish outside the top five in five features raced. Logan and Smith both have missed the top five once but have a perfect top 10 streak.

Brown with big speed at Knoxville; Weiler Tribute to the Lasoski Family Presented by Iowa Lottery next
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (July 27, 2026) - Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing put up big numbers in their return to the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 25, and although the Grain Valley, Missouri, wheelman was just shy of accomplishing his first victory of the season, his overall outcome was just as impressive, concluding competition with a podium finish.
Brown, the ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprinter, finished second in his podium appearance, leading five circuits in the process. Adding to the stat book, “Blackjack” activated his evening at the Sprint Car Capital of the World with the third-fastest qualifying time, racing on to win his heat from fourth.
Brown’s performance will prove vital, as he’s set to return to Knoxville Raceway for a “double duty” attempt in the Weiler Tribute to the Lasoski Family Presented by Iowa Lottery on August 1.
“It was a great night for our Casey’s | FVP No. 21. Was able to lead early on before the ‘10’ got by us. Actually fell to third, but a late restart gave us the opportunity to retake second. Was able to challenge Timms for the lead…felt we had a car that could win. Just didn’t work out,” Brown said. “Super proud of Chad, JB, Devin…they worked their butts off last week in getting this program in the direction that it needed to go. We made huge gains in one night. We’re getting closer…not there yet, but we’re getting closer than where we’ve been. We’ll work to unload with something a little bit better this weekend.
“Really excited for the Weiler Tribute to the Lasoski Family Presented by Iowa Lottery,” Brown added. “Just an incredible event that’s honoring our family. A lot of money is on the line and we’re ready to get after it.”

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (July 27, 2026) - Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing put up big numbers in their Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing slate through Pennsylvania and New York, and although they concluded the five-race stretch without a victory, the team out of Brownsburg, Indiana, did the next best thing.
Rico, powering the Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, and Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts No. 24 sprinter, earned three top-tens in his five-race campaign, all of which highlighted with a runner-up score - a near-victory - in Lernerville Speedway’s annual Silver Cup on Wednesday, July 22. In fact, Abreu, the reigning High Limit Racing national champion, led most of the $25,000-to-win main event, only to lose the lead to Corey Day in the final circuits.
In addition, Rico finished fifth in High Limit Racing’s debut at Stateline Speedway in Busti, New York, on Friday, July 24, and seventh in Port Royal Speedway’s Greg Hodnett Classic on Saturday, July 25. With all results considered, even an unfortunate 23rd-place outcome in Port Royal’s $100,000-to-win Bob Weikert Memorial finale on July 26, Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing remains in control of the High Limit Racing national championship standings, holding down a mere nine-point advantage over Ridge & Sons Racing.
ON DECK: Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will release future plans in the coming days.

SECOND EDITION OF 2026 PAVEMENT RANKINGS RELEASED
July 23, 2026 - Anderson, Indiana - The second edition of the 2026 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings was announced Thursday evening.
Langley, British Columbia, Canada driver Aaron Wilison is having a career year, and as such, finds himself atop the latest rankings. Willison has won an astonishing 9 out of 11 events he has competed in thus far in 2026.
Among his wins are a $30,000 Race for the Million victory at 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on April 10. Other victories for Willison include a $20,000 sweep over Independence Weekend at Colorado National Speedway and 5 Northwest Sprint Tour triumphs.
Two-time and defending National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings champion Kody Swanson moves up 3 spots to the runner-up position. Swanson has become hot lately with a Little 500 win and a $30,000 Race for the Million victory at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan June 3. Swanson trails Willison by a mere 3 points.
Bobby Santos comes in at #3. Santos recently picked up a Must See Racing victory at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on June 6. He has also been on the podium at both Race for the Million events in 2026.
Early ranking leader Colton Bettis tumbles down to the fourth spot largely due to the fact he hasn't competed in an abundance of events in recent months. Bettis currently has 6 feature victories in 2026 which is the second most pavement sprint car feature victories.

RACE FOR THE MILLION COLORADO EVENT TO BE NAMED “POISON
LIL” CLASSIC
DACONO, Colo. (July 23, 2026) - Race For The Million
presented by Sunbelt Rentals founder and CEO Richard Fieler announced today
that the August 22 series event at Colorado National Speedway in Dacono,
Colorado will now be named “Poison Lil” Classic.
“Poison Lil” was one of the most famous and recognizable
dirt track sprint cars in the country beginning in 1932. Designed by Paul
Weirick and built by Art Sparks, the car is credited with over 200 feature
victories until it was sold in 1949.
This particular sprint car was actually one of a handful of
cars out of the Sparks / Weirick stable named “Poison Lil”. The others were
all championship cars that competed on larger tracks like Indianapolis Motor
Speedway.
Based out of Los Angeles, California, legendary drivers such
as Rex Mays, “Duke” Nalon, Hal Robson, Al Gordon, Bill Cummings, Kelly
Petillo, and numerous others drove the car at one time or another. The car
often ventured out to the Midwest for AAA events in the summer months for
the lure of large purse money and prestigious events. However, the car was
parked in Indianapolis during the duration of WWII.
As a youngster, the car caught Fieler’s attention while
spectating events near his Cincinnati area home, and in particular, Dayton
Speedway. The 92-year-old Fieler has many fond memories of “Poison Lil”.
“My earliest racing memories are from right after WWII in
1946,” explains Fieler. “I was only five or six when WWII broke out. I know
I went to races before the war because I have pictures and such, but I don’t
have anything in the memory bank before the war broke out.
“My dad subscribed all the racing papers at that time. He
always talked about “Poison Lil” and this car that was over 3000 miles away
from Cincinnati where we lived. It was the race car of the day. There is no
question. It was practically unbeatable.
“I remember we went to Dayton, Ohio on October 6, 1946. My
dad was ga ga because ‘Poison Lil” was going to run that day. Hal Robson
drove it that day and won. He won by at least a half of a lap on a half-mile
track.
“I fell in love with “Poison Lil” that day. Travis “Spider”
Webb was my favorite driver but “Poison Lil” was my favorite race car and my
reason for going to the racetrack. It was a metallic blue with a white
number 1 on it that day.”
A return trip to Dayton Speedway a few years later would see
Fieler gifted a souvenir from “Poison Lil” herself that Fieler still has to
this day.
“We were sitting in the main grandstand about eight or ten
rows up that day,” remembers Fieler. “We were seated a little bit beyond the
start finish line. It must have been about 1947 or 1948. The motor of
“Poison Lil” detonated while leading. It was way in front of the field, I
remember that. I don’t remember who was driving it that day.”
“All of a sudden, wham, something hits me in the neck. I
just instinctively threw my right hand up there. This little hunk of metal
falls in my hand, and its bloody hot. So grabbed it but quickly dropped it.
“Grandstands in those days had a lot of spaces between
boards. By all rights that piece of metal should have jumped off that board
and gone down below the grandstand, and that would have been the last
anybody would ever have thought of it.
“After I sat there for about fifteen or twenty minutes, my
mom said, ‘You have a burn on your neck and hand’. I looked down and there
was a piece of piston on the board where I dropped it. That was my treasure.
I still have it to this day. I keep it in my desk drawer”.
“I fell in love with the idea of “Poison Lil” the day Hal
Robson just whipped everybody at Dayton. I just wanted to have a race to
honor the legacy of this car and bring attention to its success on the
track.
“Since I’ve decided to do this, everything is falling into
place. I just recently put “Poison Lil” on the side of the car that I own
and Bobby Santos drives. I did this out of respect. I didn’t do this out for
showmanship, entitlement, or anything like that. One of the things about
this race is I’m going to see my car running around the track with “Poison
Lil” on the side, and it is going to make me feel good.’
“As they say in baseball, we’ll see what happens next,”
concluded Fieler.
More details of the August 22, 2026, inaugural “Poison Lil”
Classic will be announced in the coming weeks.

Doubleheader Weekend Brings Great Lakes Super Sprints Back to Michigan Friday and Saturday
Merrill, MI - This weekend, the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are back in the Great Lakes State for a Friday and Saturday night doubleheader. Friday night, the GLSS return to I-96 Speedway to the tune of $5,000 to win before a return to Crystal Motor Speedway for the first time in over three months.
Friday at I-96, drivers will roll into Michigan’s fastest Speedway with an over $20,000 purse on the line in a $ 5,000-to-win, $ 500-to-start showdown. I-96 Speedway has historically been a thrilling visit for the GLSS, and that held true in the last show there on May 29th. Chase Dunham and Dustin Daggett led the field to the green flag, and hometown favorite, Daggett held off a charge from Scott Bogucki to snap a nearly two-year winless streak.
In the last visit to Crystal Motor Speedway, history was made when Zane DeVault broke the track record on the new American Racer tires. DeVault ripped off a time of 11.930 seconds before going on to have a near-perfect night, winning his heat race and rolling from third to victory lane. DeVault had some help that night as engine issues plagued both Jared Horstman and Clinton Boyles, who were at the front of the field for the first half of the race.
DeVault remains the only driver to win multiple races this season with the Great Lakes Super Sprints. In 11 shows, nine different drivers have made their way to victory lane. The top two in GLSS Tour points, however, are still held winless. Chase Dunham, who took control of the championship points lead following the trip to Ohsweken and Buxton Speedways in June, has ripped off five top five finishes so far this year, including a runner-up performance at Buxton Speedway. Dunham has been lights-out in qualifying, though, grabbing five Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Awards, the only driver with more than one so far this season. Dunham holds a 28-point lead over four-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh, who holds four wins at I-96 Speedway, has been held winless as well so far this season.
As for the MacAllister CAT (Michigan) Division, Dustin Daggett has his No.85 at the top of the standings, returning to the place he calls home. The Michigan championship standings is one of the best points battles with GLSS in recent memory, with the top five separated by roughly 100 points. Daggett brings in a 29-point advantage over Max Stambaugh and sits 49 points ahead of Chase Dunham. Inaugural GLSS Champion, Chase Ridenour holds down the fourth spot, hot off his win at Butler Motor Speedway in June, and a potential sleeper in the championship hunt, Boston Mead sits fifth just 110 points back from Daggett.
With $5,000 on the line Friday night, the 20 or more GLSS regulars that fans are used to seeing throughout the season are likely to deal with plenty of outsiders looking to cash in on a payday. Pit gates at I-96 Speedway open at 4:00 PM with racing scheduled for 8:00PM. Saturday at Crystal Motor Speedway, pit gates open at 2:00 PM and racing is slated for 7:00 PM. Fans who can’t make the trip can catch the action LIVE on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV.

It was first time Sharon Speedway winners in the first two events of the season. Logan Wagner invaded from central Pa. to steal the thunder in Western PA Speedweek on May 30 taking the $5,500 victory over the 40-car field. Ohio Speedweek made a stop on June 13 with Zeth Sabo also scoring his first career All Star Circuit of Champions victory worth $7,500 over the 49-car field. Most recently, local racer Brandon Spithaler won just his second career Sharon “410” feature topping an impressive 32-car field on June 27.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply UMP Mods will race for $1,000 to-win; special thanks to A&MP Electric, Holbrook Sewer & Excavating, and Wedge Motorsports for their support of the UMP Modified division in 2026. Thus far this season, there have been three different winners in as many races. Eric Wilson won his first career UMP Mod race at Sharon on June 6. Ty Rhoades then did one spot better than opening night as he scored his fifth win in the division and 11th overall at the track on June 13. The UMP Mods were a companion class to the World of Outlaws Late Models on July 11 and turned out in big numbers with 43 cars on hand! David Stremme invaded and scored his first career win at the track, worth $1,500.
The Gibson Insurance Agency RUSH Sprint Cars have been rained out five of their scheduled six appearances to date with their only completed event coming on June 6 when there was a 90% chance of rain. The non-wing Chevrolet Performance crate engine powered cars are in their ninth year of racing and have completed 43 events all-time at Sharon with 15 different winners. John Mollick won the opener and has now won 9 of the last 10 races at Sharon dating back to 2024! Gale Ruth, Jr. leads the $5,000 to-win RUSH Rustler Sales & Service Weekly Series points with four victories on the circuit, but hasn’t won at Sharon since June 25, 2023 when he won back-to-back weeks.
Rounding out the four-division program on Saturday night will be the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vic division. The Crown Vics made their season debut on May 30 with a record 19-car field as Brad Shaffer scored the victory.

Sizzling Speed & Big Money: Andy & Billie Lutz Memorial Highlights Tri-City Raceway Park’s Summer Sizzler This Friday!
Franklin, Pa. - The annual Summer Sizzler is set to heat up the action this Friday night, July 24th, at the historic half-mile oval of Tri-City Raceway Park in Venango County. The high-stakes night gets an emotional, big-money upgrade as the FAST on Dirt 410 Sprint Car main event serves as the Andy & Billie Lutz Memorial and has been boosted to an $8,600-to-win payday. This purse increase serves as a special tribute to Andy and Billie Lutz and their iconic number 86, with the Lutz family adding extra cash to every single starting spot—including a meaningful $86 bonus for everyone finishing fourth on back. To make this memorial race even bigger, lap sponsorships are now available for laps 1 through 25. Fans and local businesses looking to support the drivers can sponsor a lap for $20, $86, or any higher preferred amount to get their name or message read over the track PA system. A massive, star-studded field is expected in the pits. Just over a week ago, a heavy-hitting 39-car field converged in Western PA for a $10,000-to-win FAST event, and the region's top national touring drivers, regional stars, and local standouts are expected back this Friday. Current FAST series points leader John Jerich rolls in holding the hot hand, trying to hold off a relentless Ricky Peterson and defending late-season surge specialist Tyler Gunn. They will face fierce resistance from a legendary local contingent. Former FAST champion Brandon Spithaler has been nearly untouchable on the half-mile this year as he chases his fourth Tri-City win of the season. Current track points leader Brandon Matus looks to park his consistent #13 machine back in victory lane. Plus, the track’s second all-time leading feature winner—the ageless wonder Bob Felmlee—is hunting for his third checkered flag of the year to bring home the $8,600 prize. Inaugural Summer Sizzler winner Jeremy Weaver is locked in and ready to shake off recent struggles to defend his crown against a hungry pack of challengers. Former track champion AJ Flick makes the tow from Apollo, while last week's winner Greg Wilson, Logan McCandless, Dusty Larson, Matt Farnham, Nash Gierke, Jeremy Kornbau, and Michael Bauer are all capable of breaking through to victory lane. Important Driver Notice: All 410 Sprint Car teams are strictly reminded that AMB Transponders are required for timing and scoring. The fendered classes are bringing plenty of their own high-octane drama to the Summer Sizzler card. The RK Virgile Iron & Steel Pro Stocks will battle for a $1,000 winner's prize. All eyes will be on Bobby Whitling, who pulled off a thrilling last-lap pass last week to secure his third win of the year and extend his legendary track record to 67 division victories. The Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars will dice it out for $500 to win. If this race is anything like last week's wild feature, which saw eight lead changes before William Baker edged out Cole Laskey, fans are in for an incredible show. Admission Details:

Arenz warms up for IRA tripleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 22, 2026 – After a two-weekend hiatus from competition, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team hit the road on Saturday, July 18, for a $5,000-to-win unsanctioned event at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Mich.
The evening was not what Arenz hoped for as his 25T machine was plagued by mechanical issues, which hampered his efforts throughout the racing program.
After qualifying 13th with a lap of 14.192 seconds around the 3/8-mile high-banked dirt oval, Arenz placed fourth in the first heat race to claim the 10th starting spot in the 25-lap main event.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver worked his way up to sixth on lap 15 and was running seventh when a motor issue forced him to drop out of the race on lap 21. He was credited with a 17th-place showing.
“We found a coolant leak during engine heat, so I missed firing off,” Arenz said. “I also missed my qualifying position. I was able to go out dead last and get one lap of qualifying in. The feature was decent, but I didn’t go far enough on setup. I was battling for fifth when we lost the head gasket on the engine and ended up with a DNF [did not finish].”
After taking a month off, the Travis Arenz Motorsports team will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a tripleheader weekend starting this Friday, July 24, at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., before moving on to the prestigious $10,000-to-win Jerry Reichert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., on Saturday, July 25, and finishing up Sunday, July 26, at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.
All IRA events are streamed live on floracing.com.
The 2026 Travis Arenz Motorsports sponsorship partners include Service One Transportation Inc., Don and Lynn Kiel, Professional Plating Inc., Pfeffer Trucking, Oostburg Concrete, Wittkopf Family Funeral Homes, Carbliss, PalletWorks, Oostburg State Bank, Sonntag Plumbing, Jensen Sales and Service, Fastenal, Roth’s Auto Restoration, Lake Auto Glass, Arenz Auto Detailing, Hair Fellers Barbershop, and Duehring Tax Service.

Chance Grasty Records Two Top-5’s at HK Classic
PETERSEN MEDIA- Heading the Watsonville Speedway in Watsonville, CA on Friday and Saturday for the coveted Howard Kaeding Classic, Chance Grasty picked up a fifth-place finish on Friday night and a fourth-place finish during Saturday night’s finale.
The action kicked off on Friday night as Grasty timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 in eighth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Grasty settled into second once the green flag flew. Holding firm with the runner up spot, Grasty’s eventual runner up finish put him on the outside of the fourth row for the opening night feature event.
Settling into eighth as the race came to life, the Suisun City, CA driver used a lap 13 restart to take over seventh on the running order. Able to move into sixth on the 19th lap, Grasty took over third on the 22nd lap as he looked to end his night on the podium.
Falling back to fourth on the 25th lap, Grasty slipped back to fifth on the 28th lap which is where he went on to close out the race.
Getting right back to work on Saturday night for the HK Classic finale, Grasty got off to a very similar start on this night as he qualified ninth fastest of the 25 cars checked into the pit area.
Finishing third in his heat race, the NARC Rookie of the Year contender rolled off the starting grid from the inside of the fifth row for the 30-lapper.
Slipping back to 14th in the opening laps of the feature event, Grasty was back into 12th on the fifth lap after the lead duo each ran into issues. Using a restart to move into the Top-10, Grasty was up into seventh on the ninth lap.
With the race in a very good groove and clicking off laps quickly, Grasty worked into the Top-5 on the 12th lap and then moved into fourth at the halfway point. Setting into fourth, Grasty was smooth as he chased after Justin Sanders and Landon Brooks who ran just ahead of him.
Unable to get to Sanders for the final spot on the podium, Grasty closed his weekend out with a fourth-place finish.
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

Must See Racing 410 Pavement Winged Warriors and Delaware Speedway Announce Event Date Change
Delaware, Ontario — Must See Racing (MSR) 410 Pavement Winged Warriors and Delaware Speedway have jointly announced that their scheduled event originally set for Friday, August 7, 2026, has been rescheduled to Friday, September 4, 2026.
Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict affecting the event, officials from both Must See Racing and Delaware Speedway worked together to find a solution that would preserve the race rather than cancel it. After careful consideration, both organizations agreed that moving the event to September 4 was the best decision for the competitors, teams, partners, and, most importantly, the fans.
"From the beginning, our priority has been to put on the
best possible show," said representatives from both organizations. "Rather
than lose one of the most anticipated races of the season, we felt it was
important to work together and find a date that allows everyone to
experience the excitement of the 410 Pavement Winged Warriors at Delaware
Speedway."
The new Labor Day weekend date creates an exciting opportunity for race fans
and competitors alike while also opening the door for something even bigger
in the future.
Officials from Must See Racing and Delaware Speedway are
currently exploring plans that could lead to a major announcement for the
2027 season. Discussions are underway regarding the possibility of another
premier open-wheel racing series joining the action-packed 410 Pavement
Winged Warriors for what could become one of the marquee open-wheel racing
events in North America.
While details are still being finalized, both organizations are committed to
building an event that exceeds expectations and continues to grow the
tradition of elite pavement open-wheel racing.
"We're excited about what the future may hold," officials added. "Our focus has always been on giving our fans the very best racing experience possible. This schedule adjustment not only ensures this year's event will take place, but it also allows us to continue working toward an even bigger vision for 2027."
Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for Friday, September 4, 2026, as the Must See Racing 410 Pavement Winged Warriors return to Delaware Speedway for an evening of high-speed, edge-of-your-seat open-wheel racing.
Danner Wins Rich Vogler Classic in First Attempt
Sunday at Winchester in Doran-Swanson Racing No. 77
WINCHESTER, Ind., July 20 — The driver was different but the results were the same as they have been for the previous four years, as a Doran Racing-prepared USAC Silver Crown car led all 100 laps of the 34th annual Rich Vogler Classic Sunday at Winchester Speedway.
This time it was Briggs Danner of Allentown, Pa., behind the wheel of the Doran-Swanson Racing No. 77 sponsored by E. Schneider & Sons Inc. Recycling, Fuelmart, and Sennebogen. The 24-year-old driver hadn’t even seen the half-mile high-banked oval before he tested here on Saturday, but he won the pole and led wire to wire to triumph in only his third USAC Silver Crown pavement race ever.
(Kody Swanson, who led all 400 laps of the last four Rich Vogler Classics at Winchester driving a Doran Racing-prepped car, is not competing in the series this year since he became its director in the off season.)
There were four caution flags in the first 70 laps of Sunday’s race which kept the top runners close, especially the top three of Danner, point leader C.J. Leary, and Dakoda Armstrong.
Three of the four yellows were for cars which developed flat right-rear tires. The first flew from laps 14-17 for Ryan Newman, who slowed with his flat coming out of Turn 2 while running fourth.
The second waved from laps 31-34 when Kaylee Bryson slowed on the backstretch while running 11th after her tire let go.
The third full-course caution came out from laps 48-57 when Nathan Byrd had a problem with his car’s front end while running sixth and crashed into the outside wall between Turns 1 and 2. He was not injured but his car required a wrecker.
The final yellow waved from laps 67-70 when Kyle Steffens’ car got a flat tire at the exit of Turn 2 while he was seventh.
Leary and Armstrong kept the pressure up on Danner on all the restarts. At the one-quarter mark Danner had a 0.578-second lead with the No. 77, which is powered by a Doran Toyota.
His USAC sprint car carries the No. 39, and he set the fastest lap of anyone in Sunday’s race on lap 39 with a time of 15.897 seconds.
He was able to pad his advantage to over a second (1.045) for the first time on lap 45, only to have the field accordion up behind him for another yellow.
Following the restart on lap 71 Justin Grant passed Mario Clouser for fourth on lap 72. At the three-quarter mark Danner had a 0.675-second lead over Leary, with Armstrong right behind.
Still, Danner was able to increase his advantage to over 1 second again by lap 79, and with no more restarts he was able to increase it to 2 seconds in the race’s late stages. But there were still challenges ahead.
Armstrong passed Leary for second with a move to the outside on the backstretch working lap 93, and immediately focused on catching Danner. Lapped traffic cut Danner’s advantage to only 0.538 on lap 96, but once he was clear of them he was able to hold off Armstrong and march onward. He had a 1.415-second margin of victory over Armstrong at the checkered. It was his second career USAC Silver Crown victory and first on a paved track.
Leary finished third and Grant and Clouser rounded out the top five. The top five were the only drivers to complete all 100 laps.
Brian Tyler was the hard charger after starting 11th and finishing sixth even though his car lost its brakes at the end. Tyler Roahrig, Robert Tyler, Steffens, and Bryson rounded out the top 10.
Danner won the pole by 0.151 over Leary with a time of 14.972 seconds. It was the sixth consecutive time this particular car has won the pole at this race, and it was Danner’s first pole ever in the series.
Danner was eighth in the first practice session with a 15.673 but he topped the final practice session with a 15.167.
“I was a little nervous with the lapped traffic once when they were running three wide ahead of me,” Danner said. “I only passed lapped cars today, which I guess is good, but C.J. and Dakoda kept the pressure up. I felt really good the longer a run went on though.
“I knew where they were because Kevin [Doran] told me on the radio, and at the end I knew Armstrong was pushing hard. The last 15 laps I just tried not to do anything dumb and bring it home.
“Yesterday in practice I didn’t feel like I had a grasp of this track, but I felt better as the day went on today. I put a good amount of pressure on myself over Kody’s great record of leading this whole race for the last four years. To be able to continue that for this team is a cool deal.”
How do you like Winchester Speedway?
“I like it a lot!”
Sunday’s race, like all USAC Silver Crown events, was streamed live on Flo Racing.
The next USAC Silver Crown race is Saturday, Aug. 8 at another new track for Danner, Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. That weekend also sees the ARCA Menards Series (Friday), the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (Saturday), and the NASCAR Cup Series (Sunday) in action on that 0.875-mile paved oval.

Landon Brooks Charges to 4th and 2nd Place Finishes at
Howard Kaeding Classic pres. by Core and Main
PETERSEN MEDIA: Traveling to Watsonville Speedway over the weekend for the Howard Kaeding Classic, an event that means so much to car owners Roger and Lori Hamilton, Landon Brooks was electric during each feature event as he charged to a fourth-place finish on Friday night before another exciting charge to second during Saturday’s finale.
“My Hamilton Racing team worked hard all week to put a new car together for the HK Classic and we were all really happy with the results,” Landon Brooks said. “We are still a little off in time trials, but as a whole it was a really good weekend for our team as we head into 360ci Speedweek.”
Friday night saw the HK Classic pres. by Core and Main kick off and Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/THE/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 16th fastest in qualifying time trials.
By way of a fifth-place finish in his heat race, Brooks took the green flag from Friday night’s feature event in the 13thstarting position. When the race came to life, the Rio Oso, CA driver showcased a very strong car in the early laps after slipping back to 15th on the start.
Back into 13th on the fifth lap, Brooks was up into 10th on the ninth lap and getting stronger. However, a caution on the 10th lap lined the field up in double file formation and the ensuing restart saw contact send Brooks spinning off the end of turns one and two.
Able to restart, Brooks found himself back in 21st but again wasted no time working his way forward. Quickly back into the Top-15 on the 13th lap, Brooks was into 10th on the 17th lap and working his way towards the Top-5.
A couple of restarts played into Brooks’ favor as he raced into fifth on the 25th lap, and in the final two laps of the race was able to secure a fourth-place finish.
Returning to the track for Saturday’s $10,000-to-win finale, Brooks found himself 14th on the starting grid with 30-laps ahead of him on the Santa Cruz County bullring.
Jumping into 10th when the race came to life, Brooks was up into eighth on the fifth lap after the lead duo both had issues at the front of the field.
Able to avoid a multi car wreck on the ensuing restart, Brooks was into fourth on the eighth lap. As the race got into a groove, Brooks wrestled the runner-up spot away from Justin Sanders on the 12th lap, and turned his attention to Shane Golobic who was setting a very quick pace in front of the field. As the leaders got into traffic, Brooks was hopeful to close in on Golobic’s gap, but the lead two both were very strong through traffic and Golobic was able to maintain his gap.
Brooks was equally as strong in the runner up spot and was not challenged for the spot in the final laps as he capped off a Hard Charger performance and finished second.
“I know how much this race means to my car owners, Roger and Lori Hamilton, and I am really happy we were able to run so well at it,” Brooks noted.
For the Hamilton family, they were very happy with how the HK Classic went not only for their team, but overall, with their strong ties to the Kaeding family.
“We would like to offer our congratulations to both Dominic Gorden and Shane Golobic for each picking up wins at the Howard Kaeding Classic,” Roger and Lori Hamilton, owners of Hamilton Racing said. “Not only did Shane win on Saturday but he ran well on Friday and finished second ahead of Bud Kaeding who had a great third place run. We’d also like to congratulate our team and Landon Brooks for finishing second on Saturday night and Justin Sanders for a third-place run. Also, both Tanner Carrick and Landon were great each night and earned Hard Charger honors for their respective runs.”
“We would also like to thank Core and Main for their support of the event for the second consecutive year as the event’s presenting sponsor,” they added. “Bud, Brent, and the entire Kaeding continue to build this event up and they did a wonderful job at this year’s edition that surely would make both Howard and Joel proud. Lastly, but surely not least, a big thank you to Miles and his High Five Pizza/Catering by Five staff for the outstanding food all weekend long as well as The Connor Party for the outstanding entertainment.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Andy Forsberg 2nd with Sprint Car Challenge Tour at
Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: After a bit of a turbulent Friday night at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA, Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team capped their weekend with a runner up finish with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Placerville Speedway.
“Friday night we just had some things go wrong that made for a bit of a long night,” Andy Forsberg said. “Saturday night we were pretty good, but the feature was riddled with cautions and stoppages and never got into a flow. We were able to finish second, but it was a pretty long and drawn-out race.”
Going near the end of time trials, Forsberg found some speed on the tricky surface as he timed the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No.92 in eighth fastest.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race alongside Shane Hopkins, Forsberg lost the drag race into turns one and two and settled into second. Taking a couple shots at Hopkins for the top spot, Forsberg settled for the runner up finish which put him in the fourth row for the feature event.
With the initial start being negated due to a red flag, a couple of additional cautions kept the race from getting underway. Finally able to string a few laps together, Forsberg was able to race into the Top-5 on the eighth lap before more stoppages slowed the race.
Working his way into fourth on the 14th lap, Forsberg was able to move into third on the 16th lap until another caution on the 22nd circuit bunched the field back up. Taking over second on the restart, Forsberg chased after Hopkins over the final markers but was unable to make a bid for his ninth win of the season as he closed the night out in second.
“My team worked hard all weekend and I am glad to get them a good finish on Saturday,” Forsberg said. “With SCCT Speedweek continuing on up into Oregon, Saturday ends our stint. We have some things we want to try this weekend and we will give it a shot at Marysville Raceway.”

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Pass Lots of Cars During Busy Week in Ohio
Inside Line Promotions – ROSSBURG, Ohio (July 20, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports increased its lead in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship standings by recording its best results during a five-race stretch in Ohio over the pair of points races.
The best result of the week occurred last Tuesday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, where David Gravel guided the team to a fifth-place finish during the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by DAC Vitamins and Minerals.
“It’s usually slick, but the track was wet all night long,” he said. “There were a couple of crashes in front of us that we dodged. We were a fifth-to-eighth-place car and we ran fifth so it was a decent way to start our week.”
Eldora Speedway hosted the next four nights with the first two being Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing shows. Gravel set himself up as the high-points driver by setting quick time during qualifying in his group and running from seventh to second place in a heat race on Wednesday. Unfortunately, a problem with the car’s rear end in the main event resulted in a DNF.
“That’s two years in a row in the High Limit races at Eldora that we had something happen that put us behind,” Gravel said. “Luckily we got the final transfer on a very narrow race track on Thursday.”
Gravel advanced from ninth to sixth place in the B Main and from 23rd to 16th place during the $100,000-to-win Joker’s Jackpot main event. That was tied for the second-most positions gained.
The team continued to pass cars the remainder of the week. Gravel timed in 12th quickest in his group and advanced from sixth to fourth place in a heat race to open Friday’s World of Outlaws program.
“We lacked speed pretty bad, which is something we’re not accustomed to,” he said. “It was a wet, rainy day. We had a great effort running fourth in the heat race. That really changed our night and was huge. We ran a safe race in the feature, passed some cars early and maintained at the end.”
Gravel’s charge from 15th to seventh place in the main event was tied for the third-most cars passed.
The week concluded on Saturday with the $200,000-to-win Kings Royal. Gravel qualified second quickest overall, good enough to lock him into the 20th starting position in the main event despite placing fourth in a heat race. He recorded the second-most positions gained in the feature by hustling to 11th.
“We changed some things on the engine and got our speed back for hot laps and qualifying,” he said. “We qualified really well. Being in the first couple of heat races when they do track work, it’s not defined yet and it’s follow the leader. I had a solid start, but couldn’t do anything with it. It was a bummer being in an early heat as the later heats got slicker.
“I think our best car of the week was during the Kings Royal A Main. We had a really good car, but for some reason on the restarts we couldn’t get going for a couple of laps. I feel we had a top-five race car, but the late-race restarts did not help me.
“In the grand scheme of things it went good, but it was definitely a trying week. Typically when you pass a lot of race cars it means you didn’t put yourself in a good position. We struggled to put ourselves in a good position and when we did we had a mechanical problem. That’s part of it. I feel we recovered about the best we could. We didn’t tear anything up. We tried lots of different things and are leaving Eldora more confident and in a better direction.”
Four World of Outlaws races are on tap this week with shows on Tuesday and Wednesday at Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada, during the Federated Auto Parts Six Nation Showdown and on Saturday and Sunday at Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y., during the Empire State Challenge.

Dover Wins King of the Wings Finale to Garner Championship for Second Straight Season
Inside Line Promotions – GLYNDON, Minn. (July 20, 2026) – Jack Dover earned his second straight Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings title by garnering the most points out of the six-race series with the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series and the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association.
“It feels really good,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “That’s what you have to do to win those things is be consistent and not have any DNFs. That’s my goal every night, to not have DNFs and finish on the podium, and we did that all six nights.”
Dover duplicated his performances through the second half of the King of the Wings event, placing third, second and first, respectively, during the tripleheader last weekend.
“We ran third the first night, second the second night and won the third night last month during the first three races of the King of the Wings and we did the exact same thing last weekend,” he said. “It was great to finish on the podium during all six races, win two of them and earn another championship.”
Dover kicked off last weekend on Thursday at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Min., where he won a heat race after starting fourth. He then placed third in both the dash and the main event.
“At the beginning of the race I fell back to I think sixth,” he said. “Rubber came in about five laps in. It was really aggressive rubber. It was follow the guy in front of you. We had some late restarts and I was able to stick my nose under the guy in front of me. I did that three times and we were able to salvage a third-place finish.”
Dover produced a career-best run at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., on Friday. He captured a heat race victory, finished third in the dash and gained a position to end second in the main event.
“Overall, I was really pleased with how our night went,” he said. “I made a mistake and didn’t switch the bars. I felt like that was a lot of my issue. I just totally forgot. That’s probably the worst I felt in the car all year so not a bad night at all considering how bad I felt.”
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Buffalo River Speedway, where Dover advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race before he won both the dash and the main event.
“It was probably the best I’ve felt pretty much all year,” he said. “I changed the bars before the feature from the dash. We were good in the dash, but not where I felt we needed to be. The car really woke up. On a restart (Mark) Dobmeier tried sliding me one time. I just kept my foot in it and was able to drive around him. Other than that I didn’t see anyone’s nose.”
Dover currently leads the MSTS championship standings by 37 points heading into another busy week with three races on tap. He’ll compete on Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa; on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn.; and on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.
QUICK RESULTS –
July 16 – Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn. – Heat race: 1 (4); Dash: 3 (3); Feature: 3 (3).
July 17 – River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. – Heat race: 1 (2); Dash: 3 (3); Feature: 2 (3).
July 18 – Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minn. – Heat race: 2 (4); Dash: 1 (2); Feature: 1 (1).

Starks Charges to Top-10 Result During Howard Kaeding Classic
Inside Line Promotions – WATSONVILLE, Calif. (July 20, 2026) – Trey Starks tied for the most positions gained last Saturday during the Howard Kaeding Classic finale at Watsonville Speedway.
The NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series doubleheader was a work in progress for Starks, who made his debut driving for Chase Johnson Racing.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve been on a track of that size in probably 10 or so years,” he said. “It took me some laps to get up to speed and to get the car how I liked it for the track conditions. I think we improved every single time we got on the track and we really started to come on strong at the end when the weekend was basically over. It was rewarding for me to work through the trouble we had and make improvements and bounce stuff off Chase and his guys. It was a very rewarding weekend and a ton of fun working with those guys. It was also great to participate in such a special event. It was fun to mix it up with those NARC guys on their home turf, too.”
Starks qualified 10th quickest and placed fourth in a heat race to open Friday’s competition. He started 10th, dropped to 15th and climbed back into the top 10 two thirds of the way through the main event when he got upside down in turns one and two.
“I had a solid qualifying effort that was just right outside the front row bubble for a heat race,” he said. “We were pinched down low on the start of the heat race so we dropped to fourth on the start and that’s where we ran. In the feature, we fired off okay, but I got into the frontstretch wall a couple of laps in. We had to fight our way back to the top 10. I was wrestling the car a little bit. I pulled a pretty big wheelstand down the front straightaway. When I set it down I buried it into the curb too hard and all but saved it, but barely tipped it over. It hurt the wings, but we didn’t have enough time in the work area to get it back out.”
Starks kicked off Saturday’s program by timing in 19th quickest. He finished seventh in a heat race to garner the 19th starting position in the main event.
“We changed a handful of things to try to change the attitude of the car and got caught being a little behind in qualifying,” he said. “For how the car was I don’t think I was on the right part of the track. I started to feel a little better in the heat race. We took a couple more big swings going into the feature and this time we hit what we were looking for. As soon as we fired off, I felt really good. I started picking off cars right away and worked close to the top 10. We had a crash or two that helped as we inherited some spots. We restarted ninth or 10th with around 10 laps to go and I was able to move around a lot more than the guys in front of me. We worked our way into seventh and I felt like we had really good speed compared to the guys in front of us.”
Starks improved throughout the race, ending with a dozen positions gained to place seventh. It was his 18th top 10 of the season.
“The next one will be in September with the World of Outlaws at Bakersfield and Ventura,” Starks said of his next scheduled races with Chase Johnson Racing. “Then we’ll do Merced in November for Chase’s race.”
Next up for Starks is the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals this Friday and Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. He has won the event three of the last four years.
“It’ll be a good show to get back to,” he said. “We’ve had good success at it and our 360 program has been good this year so I’m looking forward to a lot of cars and another two-day show. I’ve been pretty good there the last couple of weeks so we’re rolling into it with some pretty good confidence.”
Starks also plans to race on Sunday at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash., with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (July 20, 2026) - Fan favorite Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) did their best to conquer High Limit Racing and the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in their recent stretch of competition. And although the team was short of attaining victory, they did the next best thing and secured five straight top-ten appearances, finishing no worse than sixth with their Buckeye State highlight being a runner-up score in the $200,000-to-win 43rd Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Saturday, July 18.
Impressive enough, Abreu, the current High Limit Racing national championship point leader as well as reigning Series champion, started tenth on the 40-lap grid - a second consecutive charge from tenth that launched with Abreu climbing from tenth to fifth in the Knight Before the Kings Royal on Friday, July 17.
Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal Week program included four nights of competition, the opening pair on Wednesday and Thursday sanctioned by High Limit Racing. Abreu finished fourth and second, respectively, leading much of Thursday’s $100,000-to-win Joker’s Jackpot before NASCAR star Kyle Larson took command on lap 23. Despite the fact, Abreu’s runner-up score earned the St. Helena, California, native a cool $25,000.
Saturday’s Kings Royal runner-up result earned the team an additional $35,000.
“Thinking about it all over again, I probably would’ve tried to get the middle working a little more,” Abreu admitted following Saturday’s Kings Royal finale. “But I just was running the top so hard and getting my tires really hot and trying to process what I needed to do at that time in the race. Restarting on the bottom hurt me some until the end when I got the guys to come back out and adjust my tire pressures. I was able to take off there on that last restart. It’s just such hard racing. Hats off to the 39M guys.”

Brown drives to Kings Royal start; Knoxville Raceway next
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (July 20, 2026) - In told, a respectable week at the World’s Greatest Dirt Track for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing, racing on to conclude the 43rd Kings Royal with three A-Main starts in four days, eventually qualifying for the $200,000-to-win Kings Royal finale on Saturday, July 18.
Brown, the ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, NEFT Vodka, No. 21 sprinter, finished 18th in the 40-lap headliner, commencing action from 13th on the grid. Other Kings Royal Week results include a 12th-place score in the second Double Down Duels A-Main on July 15 and a 15th-place score in the Knight Before the Kings Royal main event on Friday, July 17.
“It was a decent week at Eldora or our Casey’s | FVP team…we had great car speed at times, but we were off at times, too. That seemed to be the case for a lot of guys in the pit area this week,” Brown noted. “I want to thank all of my guys - Chad, JB, Devin. It was pushing 100 degrees every day but they continued to bust their butts and worked on our car every time it hit the pits, doing a great job in consistently making improvements. Qualifying for three out of four shows is nothing to shake our heads about.
“I think we wanted to be a little bit better than where we were for the finale. Made some changes to the car that the engine didn’t like, and when you make little mistakes like that amongst that caliber of competition, you’re going to get passed by some cars. Overall, happy with our results. Excited to get back to Knoxville this weekend.”

KING OF KANSAS: Xavier Doney and Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars bests POWRi field at 81 Speedway
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (July 20, 2026) - Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars put up big numbers in their Saturday night visit to 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, racing on to not only secure their second POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League victory of 2026, but in addition, pad their resume with a fifth Series win all-time. Doney, who is now second in the POWRi championship standings with 50 points separating himself from the top, led 13 of the 25 circuits, securing $5,000 for his efforts.
Saturday’s triumph at 81 Speedway - a Series debut with a packed house in tow - was the perfect case of redemption for the Odessa, Missouri, native, as Xavier was a winning threat on Friday, as well, opening his two-race sweep with a stop at Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, poor luck negated all chances for a potential POWRi weekend sweep, forced to surrender after contact with the outside retaining wall; he was battling at the front at the time of the contact.
“We’ve had some tough luck as of late…it feels good to finally have things go our way tonight,” said Xavier Doney in Victory Lane. “We didn’t let any of our past results linger, and we know we have to prove ourselves each night out. The work isn’t done yet.”
Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and teammate at Doney-Lawson Racing, was also in action during weekend visits to Arrowhead and 81. The young lady out of Odessa highlighted the pair with a 15th-place outcome at 81 Speedway; she started 12th.

Reutzel highlights Eldora’s Kings Royal Week with Knight Before podium; Lernerville, Ransomville to kick-off major week through PA and NY
By Fully Injected Motorsports:

ALLUM REFLECTS ON HIS BIG WIN
July 20, 2026 - Indianapolis, Indiana - It's been over a week since Taylorsville, North Carolina driver Brady Allum won the biggest race of his young career. He did the unthinkable, he held off Bobby Santos III, the master of winged pavement racing, and scored his first career pavement sprint car victory of any kind.
His July 11, 2026, Must See Racing Sprint Series victory at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan was huge. The win was very popular among fans who had just witnessed the exciting affair. Fan reaction moments after the checkered flag waved told the whole story. The win was worth $5400 and made the long trip back to North Carolina much easier for Allum and his father Chad.
Since then, Allum has had a lot of time to reflect on the night and how it has changed his career.
"That was absolutely the biggest win of my career so far" proclaimed Allum recently. "The one thing that sticks out is we have been fighting so many problems over the last couple of years since I've been running sprint cars, from being a rookie, to relearning things. Since I've been working with Aaron Pierce things have really picked up. We knew we had the speed and we were finally able to capitalize on it."
What started out as a disappointing night with a qualifying effort of only eleventh quick finished with a Cinderella ending.
"After qualifying I wasn't happy with the car" remembers Allum. "My dad and Aaron (Pierce) asked me what was wrong. I told them the driver hasn't showed up yet, that's what's wrong. Right before the heat race, they looked at the lineup and told me this was my time to make up for it."
By winning his heat race, Allum was able to gain a spot into the inversion. His qualifying time allowed him to earn the pole position for the feature event, and the rest is now history.
"The motor we had is a really old twelve valve 410. It only makes about 800 hp. It's a smaller 410 and isn't as big as some of the other motors in the wing cars. All I knew was I had to get off of the corners first. If I was side-by-side with Bobby (Santos) leaving a corner, He would beat me the second half of the straightway. All I knew was I had to get out of the hole faster and better. If I could do that, I could almost slide him into turn one, and take his line away, to the point it would make him get back into single file.
"This whole experience has been great for me and my dad. He's been super happy and stoked for it. He believed in me and knew it was only a matter of time before we did it. We soaked it in all the way on the drive home. I received texts and calls from people all over the country from family, friends, and people I raced against all the way home. I actually may have just landed a sponsor because of winning that race and might be able to do some more winged pavement racing in the future.
"After the race Bobby, his crew, and his dad came over and congratulated me. That was really cool. He's been really supportive the few wing races that we've ran. He told me he was happy to see me running so well with these guys. That was probably the coolest moment of the whole night, having himself and his family come up to me and congratulate me.
"I couldn't see the scoreboard because of the way it is angled. I knew somebody was back there late in the race but had no idea who it might be until he stuck his nose in there. I knew somebody was coming regardless. I just told myself to not make any mistakes. The ones I did make luckily happed at times when I had a big lead, and nobody could capitalize on it.
"One problem I encountered in the race was I took the steering wheel off under a red flag. I felt something under the throttle pedal. A zeus button was stuck under there. When I went back out, I put my steering wheel on upside down. When I was chasing the car after being tight, the steering wheel being off and out of position and was a challenge.
"I think the minute I took the checkered it hit me that I'd just won a Must See Racing event. I slowed down a lot, enjoyed that moment, and soaked it all in".
Allum realizes this win was made possible from the Jennerstown, Pennsylvania 500 Sprint Car Tour rainout of that race he had originally planned to compete in. That race was cancelled the day before and the Owosso Must See Racing event emerged as another possible option despite only five prior winged pavement sprint car starts.
Allum described his career night in one sentence. "If it wasn't for the Jennerstown rainout, we wouldn't be having this conversation" concluded Allum.

THREE WEEKS til the Diamond Sprint Car Series takes on Gondik Law Speedway ( Aug. 7 ) & ABC Raceway ( Aug. 8 )!
The winged division teams in the Diamond Sprint Car Series will be rolling into the Northwoods area of northwest Wisconsin three weeks from today, and attached are the event flyers for both events. Each night the traditional (non-winged) Renegades sprint cars will also be competing in a complete racing program.
A pre-race FanFest will also take place, and we would like all sprint car teams that are planning on coming to the events to notify the Series by Monday of race week if they plan to attend. Drivers that do not notify the series of their attendance will pay a $25 draw fee on race day.
Gondik Law Speedway is located at 4700 Tower Ave, Superior, WI 54880. You can visit them online at www.gondiklawspeedway.com .
On the following night, the tour rolls about 65 miles east to ABC Raceway, located at 2187 Butterworth Rd, Ashland, WI 54806. Click www.ABCraceway.com for full track details.
In what has become a wild and unpredictable weather season on multiple levels, the weather-delayed events from May at both Hibbing Speedway and Grand Rapids Speedway have now been removed from the Diamond Sprint Car Series schedule by the tracks. But the Gondik and ABC events remain, as scheduled.
Please make plans to join us at these two great racing facilities on Friday August 7th (Gondik Law Speedway) and Saturday August 8th (ABC Raceway) when the winged division teams of the Diamond Sprint Car Series and the Renegades traditional sprint cars roll into town!
100 LAPS ON TAP FOR ALL-STAR MIDGETS AT ANDERSON Saturday
July 16, 2026 - The All-Star National Pavement Midget Series is set to invade Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana for the first time in the brief history of the upstart pavement midget series This Saturday July 11.
The series kicked off its inaugural season at Owosso Speedway last month. Jake Trainor won a thrill over NASCAR Cup regular Christopher Bell in that event.
This Saturday’s event already has 26 car cars entered for the 100-lap feature event.
Beginning Saturday at Anderson Speedway, the All-Star National Pavement Midget Series will implement double-file restarts on a trial basis for the 2026 season.
Anderson Speedway has a rich and storied past with national midgets. The original owner Joe Helpling originally built the speedway with the primary focus on midgets. He banked the track 17 degrees to create more passing opportunities for the mighty midgets.
When the track originally opened in 1948 AAA midgets were the headline division. Over the years the speedway has proven to one of the best racing facilities for pavement midgets in the entire country. Joe Liguori recently expressed his excitement to return to Anderson Speedway in a midget saying “Midgets at Anderson are fun”.
This Saturday’s event already has 26 car cars entered for the 100-lap feature event. A very stout field is expected.
Announced entries include Dakoda Armstrong, Nathan Byrd, Kale Drake, Kyle Hamilton Michael Lewis, Joe Liguori, Chase Locke, Kyle O’Gara, Dezi Pedregon, Kyle Steffans, Jake Trainor, and Billy Wease among others.
O’Gara has been the man to beat in national midget action at Anderson Speedway in recent years. He has won the past three national midget wins dating back to July 10, 2021. It has been since 2022 that national midgets have last competed at Anderson Speedway.
Fonda, Albany-Saratoga Next for Empire Super Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | With the 2026 version of the Empire Super Sprints CNY Speedweek now in the rearview mirror, the series will hit the track again this weekend for a Friday-Saturday doubleheader. Friday, the tour heads to the Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY, while Saturday will be a stop at the Fonda Speedway in Fonda, NY. Defending champion Jordan Poirier maintains a 17-point lead over Zach Sobotka heading into the weekend. While he has yet to win a race thus far in 2026, Poirier’s 8- top fives and 10-top tens have him with a slight advantage over Sobotka, who enters the weekend with two wins on the season, tied for the most thus far with Dylan Swiernik, Alex Therrien and Larry Wight. History is on Poirier’s side to pick up a win, as he has two wins at Albany-Saratoga, including last summers event. At Fonda last season, it was Danny Varin in victory lane. Varin extended his impressive streak of wins at the ½ mile oval, having now won ten of the last eleven ESS events held there. The only driver that kept Varin from a perfect eleven for eleven was Shawn Donath in May of 2023, when he held off Varin for the win. Of note, Saturdays event at Fonda is the annual Earl Halaquist Memorial. Earl Halaquist Memorial was one of the most accomplished sprint car drivers in the Northeast in his time. Competing across NY, NJ, PA, VA, NC, MD VT, Canada and more, Halaquist amassed 53 URC wins and six championships. Halaquist, a World War II veteran, was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, IA in 2000 before his passing in 2001. This weekends Donath Motor Worx Dash Series events will have additional support from We Know Tools – Paul Wehnau’s Snap-on Tools on Friday at Albany Saratoga as the presenting sponsor, and One Zee Tee’s on Saturday at Fonda as the presenting sponsor. Pricing, gate times and nightly event schedules for each night this weekend can be found both on each tracks websites/social media pages, and the Empire Super Sprints social media pages. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints). The Empire Super Sprints would like to thank the following series sponsors for their continued support: Rifenburg Contracting Corp, Hoosier Racing Tire, E&V Energy, A-Verdi Storage Containers, Elab Smokers Boutique, Pinnacle Investments, LLC, Wilwood Disc Brakes, FX Caprara, Ashley Lynn Winery, Slade Shock Technology, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Bicknell Racing Products, Swagger Factory, PJC Sprayfoam, Donath Motor Worx, Transport Benoit Lafleur, All Star Performance, Stirling Lubricants, Trenca & Co.

SHARON AS “STEEL VALLEY THUNDER” WILL FEATURE BIG-BLOCK MODS ALONG WITH RUSH
SPRINTS, ECONO MODS & CROWN VICS
By Mike Leone
July 15, 2026
(Hartford, OH)...After a weekend off to celebrate Independence Day and an invasion by the World of Outlaws Late Models last weekend, Sharon Speedway will look to resume weekly racing action this Saturday night (July 18) with a “Steel Valley Thunder” program. The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds will highlight the program and will be joined by the Gibson Insurance Agency RUSH Sprints, Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods, and the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vics. It’s Mark Thomas Ford and Ohio Intra Express Night. Racing will get underway at 7 p.m.

On June 27, Jeremiah Shingledecker ended a near eight-year winless drought coming out on top of the 22-car field.

The Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods will be running in just their third program of the season. After going winless in 2025, Jeremy Double is two-for-two in 2026. Both events had 27 cars on hand meaning Double took home $600 for his efforts for each victory and all competitors in their field received a payoff boost. Double has now won an all-time Econo Mod best 24 times at Sharon!

SCCT launches Western Sprint Tour Speedweek this weekend
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…For the third consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed for Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which showcases eight nights of racing at seven different venues from California to Washington.
Everything kicks off in a big way at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway this Friday July 17th with the annual “Tyler and Chuck Wolf Memorial” race. It will be a definite highlight of Speedweek, as we honor the late racer and now his late father/ car owner. Grandstand tickets are just $15, with kids 12 and under free of charge.
When 20-year-old Tyler Wolf lost his life at Calistoga Speedway in 2012, it was one of the darkest days in recent memory for the California racing scene. The Redding native had captured the Silver Dollar Speedway track title one year prior and was well liked throughout the pit area.
The event continues to be one of the special shows each season at Silver Dollar Speedway. For the first time, the track will also honor his father Chuck, who we lost late last year. Even after Tyler’s passing, Chuck continued to campaign the familiar No. 19 for several seasons, showing true commitment to the sport.
One night later Speedweek rolls on with the $4,000-to-win “Gold Pan Rampage” presented by Marshall at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 18th. It marks the final Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour appearance of the season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds quarter mile.
Monday July 20th begins a trio of races in Oregon all starting at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg. Tuesday July 21st brings the Sprint Car Challenge Tour to Coos Bay Speedway, followed by Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday July 22nd.
A travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the second SCCT appearance at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington. The two-night “Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals” presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew is highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/ $1,000-to-start main event on Saturday July 25th.
With a unique format on tap at Skagit Speedway, both nights will feature show up points only in the season-long championship race.
SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek all comes to a climax on Sunday July 26th at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. The “Hall of Fame 360 Battle Royale” marks the second series appearance at the track.
The overall SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion will take home $4,000 as part of an $8,000 total point fund. The runner up nets $2,500 while third place will claim $1,500.
Each Shop Kyle Larson main event during Speedweek will hand out a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the 24-car field.
After winning the most recent event, 2023 SCCT champion Justyn Cox sits atop the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings going into Speedweek. Marysville’s Dawson Hammes, Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes, Colfax’ Cole Croft and Cotati’s Jake Haulot complete the top five.
Additional competitors looking to be a common sight during Speedweek will include reigning champion Max Mittry of Redding, Marysville’s Carson Hammes, Elk Grove’s Jake Morgan, Roseville’s Colby Copeland, Oakley’s Bryant Bell, Yuba City’s Seth Standley, Burlington, Washington’s Levi Hillier, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires; Mesa, Arizona’s Corbin Rueschenberg; Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt; El Paso, Texas’ Ayden Saunders; Oak Harbor, Washington’s Dustin Gehring, Yuba City’s Landon Brooks and others.

Starks Scores Third Skagit Speedway Victory in a Row and 20th Career 410 Triumph at Track
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (July 13, 2026) – Trey Starks racked up his third consecutive feature triumph at Skagit Speedway last Saturday.
“It started off good with going quick time,” he said. “I laid down a couple of good laps. In the heat race, we started fourth and ran fourth. I searched around a bit. That left it up to the feature redraw and we got a solid draw with the outside front row.
“I knew I had to be on it on the start. We fired off and I didn’t get the lead right away as the outside lane wasn’t getting the best starts. I pointed it to the top and was able to get the lead down the backstretch. It was right on the fence. I knew I had to be watching if the bottom was coming in. I had to run the top hard, but keep the car out of the wall. We had a couple of restarts in the second half of the race. The way the track was, I had to be calculated about how I did the restarts because the top was so high around the track that I didn’t want anyone behind me to get a good enough run to slide me. But I didn’t want to protect because I figured I’d get slid on the other end. I tried to restart really late in the zone. It ended up working out and we brought it home for the win.”
Starks now holds a 21-point lead in the 410ci winged sprint car championship standings following his 20th career victory in the division at Skagit Speedway.
“It was another good weekend,” he said. “We’re making improvements every week with the 410 car. Also, it was a really good track. I hope that’s what we get for the 360 Nationals in a couple of weeks.”
Starks will head to Watsonville Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., this Friday and Saturday for the Howard Kaeding Classic with the NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series. He will pilot a sprint car for Chase Johnson Racing during the doubleheader.
“We’ve run one night there, but it was 13 or 14 years ago,” Starks said. “I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been to Watsonville within the last couple of years to watch. It’s a good, fun track and Chase has really good equipment. I think it’ll be a good opportunity and a fun trip to race at the Howard Kaeding Classic.”

Dover Eager for Three-Race King of the Wings Weekend With MSTS
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 13, 2026) – Jack Dover is tackling a Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series tripleheader in Minnesota and North Dakota this weekend.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver will venture to Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn., on Thursday; to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., on Friday; and to Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minn., on Saturday.
“Not to sound cocky, but I expect to win,” he said. “That’s how good I feel in the car. We’re rolling really well right now.”
Dover finished third at Norman County Raceway, 12th at River Cities Speedway (during a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series show) and second at Buffalo River Speedway last season.
“Last year was my first time at all three tracks,” he said. “I think those tracks suit my style. I’m very excited. Now that we’ve been to all three places, we aren’t rolling into them green. Plus, I feel like we’re running a lot better right now than we were last year.”
Dover enters the weekend riding a four-race podium streak with MSTS, including winning his last two races. He currently leads the MSTS championship standings by 15 points.
Additionally, the three races this weekend are also the final three in the six-race Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings. Dover leads the King of the Wings championship standings by 12 points. He is the defending King of the Wings champion.
Dover raced last Saturday at Knoxville Raceway, where he ended the night in the B Main, narrowly missing a transfer into the main event.
“We were decent when we rolled in and got better each time we hit the track, but it wasn’t good enough,” he said. “We learned some stuff and tried some stuff so it was worth the trip.”

Andy Forsberg Rallies to 4th Place Finish at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Finding himself in an opening lap predicament on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Andy Forsberg was able to rally from the back of the pack and pocket a fourth-place finish.
“We had another really good car on Saturday night, but I just flat made a mistake on the first lap and put us in a really bad spot,” Andy Forsberg said. “Luckily with how the race went, and how the crew had my car, I was able to fight back forward and actually battle for the final spot on the podium.”
With 20 cars checked in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Forsberg got the night underway by earning his first fast time award aboard his Pacific Highway Rentals/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No. 92 entry.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Forsberg picked up a third-place finish which was enough to lock him into the nightly redraw. Ending up with the ‘six’, Forsberg was set to go from the outside of the third row for the 30-lap finale.
As the green waved and the field rumbled into turns one and two, Forsberg entered on the cushion and did all but get upside down as he came to a stop off the edge of the track.
With now issues to his entry, the Auburn, CA driver was able to restart though he would do it from the rear of the field. The ensuing restart saw a couple of cars get together and Forsberg was able to pick up a few positions quickly with no laps complete.
As the action eventually went green, Forsberg was quickly back into the Top-10 by the third lap and then was up into eighth on the fourth marker. Continuing to race his way forward, he was into sixth on the 10th lap and then entered the Top-5 at the race’s halfway point.
Able to take over the fourth position on the 20th lap, Forsberg hooked up in a very entertaining battle for third with Justyn Cox as the duo seemingly swapped positions with each lap.
When the race drew to a close, it was Forsberg ultimately settling for a fourth-place finish.
“We had a really good battle with Justyn Cox going at the end of the race, and just the way our laps and swaps sequenced he ended up on the podium and we settled for fourth,” Forsberg added.
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Post Trio of Podiums to Open Busy Month
Inside Line Promotions – WILMOT, Wis. (July 13, 2026) – David Gravel produced a trio of podium finishes last weekend to increase Big Game Motorsports’ lead in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship standings to 92 points.
Gravel finished third on Thursday at Hartford Speedway in Hartford, Mich., before running second and third, respectively, on Friday and Saturday at Wilmot Raceway. That gives the team 20 podiums and 26 top-five finishes in 38 starts this season.
“It was a solid weekend,” he said. “We qualified well each night and got ourselves in the dashes. We had to overcome some bad dash draws, but to get three podiums, it was a solid weekend.”
Gravel set quick time in qualifying and won a heat race before placing third in both the dash and the main event at Hartford Speedway.
“I was just hanging around there,” he said. “We fell back a couple of spots and at the end the car got better. We were good enough to maintain.”
On Friday at Wilmot Raceway, Gravel timed in second quickest. He won a heat race before pulling the highest number – eight – in the dash draw. Gravel gained a spot in the dash and hustled from seventh to second place in the main event.
“Those guys were hanging on at the end and our car got better throughout the feature on Friday,” he said. “I was able to make lanes work that other people couldn’t. We were coming at the end. I wish it was a 40-lap race.”
The weekend wrapped up on Saturday with Gravel qualifying third quickest and finishing second in a heat race. He moved from sixth to fourth place in the dash and gained a spot in the feature to end third.
“I had a front row seat to Sheldon (Haudenschild) and Garet (Williamson) battling,” he said. “Those guys were fast. I could keep them at arm’s length, but I wasn’t close enough to challenge. I made some contact with (Spencer) Bayston that messed up our car so that didn’t help, but we came out of there with another podium.”
This week is a busy one for the team with five straight nights of racing in Ohio. It begins on Tuesday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica for the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by DAC Vitamins and Minerals. The team will then race four nights in a row at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg with the $100,000-to-win Jokers Jackpot highlighting Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing races on Wednesday and Thursday followed by the $200,000-to-win Kings Royal highlighting a World of Outlaws doubleheader at the track on Friday and Saturday.
“I expect to be competitive each night,” Gravel said. “We do this for the big events so I’m hoping we can have some success at the Joker’s Jackpot and the Kings Royal. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Dominic Scelzi Rides Consistency to Top-10 Finishes Along West Coast
Inside Line Promotions – BILLINGS, Mont. (July 13, 2026) – Dominic Scelzi was a consistent top-10 car throughout the month of June, which showcased races in California, Oregon, Washington and Montana.
“We’ve been racing really well and passing cars this summer, but haven’t been timing in well,” he said. “When you have to start in the back, it’s getting more and more difficult to drive through the field.”
Following a 10th-place result on June 6 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., Scelzi recorded five straight top-seven finishes in five days during the Fastest 5 Days with the NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series. He advanced to seventh on June 11 at Southern Oregon Speedway in White City, Ore.; on June 12 at Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Ore.; and on June 14 at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash.
Scelzi highlighted the speedweek with fifth-place finishes on June 13 at Cottage Grove Speedway in Cottage Grove, Ore., and on June 15 at Grays Harbor Raceway, where he rallied from the 17th starting position.
“We have a maneuverable race car, but needed to start further up front,” he said. “We are maneuverable, but have been struggling to find speed. That was the story line from June.”
Scelzi ventured to Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash., for the 54th annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. After ending in the B Main during the opening night (on June 18), Scelzi charged from 21st to a sixth-place showing the ensuing evening. He then locked into the main event via a heat race during the final night, when he placed 14th out of the more than 50 competitors who entered the event.
“I think our highlight was going 21st to sixth on the Friday with such a stout field,” he said. “We had a really good shot at continuing to drive through the field with more laps. That was a lot of fun.”
The long month of traveling wrapped up on June 26 at Big Sky Speedway, which hosted Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing. Scelzi progressed throughout the night to garner a 15th-place result, marking his 18th top 15 in 21 starts this season. The event finale rained out the next night.
“Going out last in qualifying hurt us and without the speed in the car, we went a lap down early in the feature,” he said. “We passed a lot of cars even after we were a lap down, but once that happens you’re not picking up the positions.”
Scelzi plans to return to NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series competition this Friday and Saturday at Watsonville Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., during the Howard Kaeding Classic.
“I’m looking forward to going back to Watsonville, where we won to start the season,” he said.

Landon Brooks 11th with NARC at Santa Maria Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to NARC action over the weekend at Santa Maria Speedway, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team picked up an 11th place finish during the feature event.
“Unfortunately, Santa Maria wasn’t a great night for us,” Landon Brooks said. “With the way the track was we couldn’t really get going from the back. The guys did a great job of trying things but it was a really heavy and choppy surface.”
Making his second appearance of the season at Santa Maria Speedway, Brooks got the night underway by timing the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction No. 21L in 12th fastest in qualifications.
Following a sixth-place finish in his heat race, the Rio Oso, CA driver lined up 12th in the feature event on a surface that stayed very fast all night long.
Settling into 12th when the green lights flashed on, Brooks was able to work his way into 11th on the second lap as passing continued to be tough as the field settled in and turned in quick laps.
With most drivers running the same speed with the track conditions, Brooks would close in on the Top-10 at times but was unable to break into it.
As the race went on and ultimately went caution free, there were no restart opportunities to try and make up any ground as Brooks closed the night out with an 11th place finish.
“Usually if the track is racy, we are able to rebound from a tough qualifying lap because we race really well, but on Saturday with the conditions we were just buried all night long,” Brooks noted. “I am looking forward to getting to Watsonville Speedway this Friday and Saturday night for the Howard Kaeding Classic.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Park pads Knoxville Raceway stat sheet with another top-five; Set to enter 410 and 360 divisions July 18
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (July 13, 2026) - Jace Park and Jace Park Racing have been nothing short of fantastic at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, padding their 2026 stat sheet with yet another top-five result, this time finishing fourth on Saturday, July 11.
Park, who is currently fifth in Knoxville Raceway’s track championship chase, opened his most recent visit with the third-quickest qualifying time in his respective group, racing on to finish second in his respective heat race. The eventual A-Main top-five was Park’s fourth of the season, and with all results considered, the Overland Park, Kansas, native is a mere 44 markers out of fourth in the track’s title chase.
If all goes according to plan, Park will go “double duty” in his coming return to Knoxville.
“Overall, another great effort by our entire team. The focus and the determination never stops and it clearly shows,” Park, powered by Associates Insurance Group, Impact Signs/Awnings/Wraps, Adki Landscaping, FinanciaLife Outfitters, Clem Helmets, Maxim Racing, Weld, Flying A Motorsports, Schoenfeld Headers, and Allstar Performance, said. “Excited to give Knoxville another go this weekend. The plan is to enter the 410 and 360 portions of the program. It should be a great night of racing.”

Doney-Lawson Racing earns top-fives with the wings off and on; POWRi trip through Oklahoma and Kansas next
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (July 13, 2026) - Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars made the most of their weekend schedule, and when POWRi’s two-day visit to Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri, got condensed to just one, DLR capitalized and found a Friday night replacement, joining the USAC MRA Sprint Cars at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.
The non-wing start proved to be a success story for Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing, concluding competition with a podium outcome. Doney, who is battling for the 2026 POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League championship, finished third in his podium performance, leading 20 total circuits of the 25-lap contest before fading due to tire wear. The Odessa, Missouri, native opened his evening with the quickest time in qualifying, racing on to finish second in his respective heat.
As noted, Doney-Lawson Racing raced on to conclude their weekend slate with a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League start at Lake Ozark Speedway on Saturday, July 11, concluding the Cove Clash with an eighth-place score from tenth on the grid. With all results considered, Xaver Daney remains in charge of the POWRi championship, holding down a 20-point margin over Ryder McCutcheon.

Justin Whittall strong in weekend triple; The Grove and Port Royal ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (July 13, 2026) - Three Central Pennsylvania starts resulted in three straight top-ten finishes for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall, concluding competition third, sixth, and second in weekend visits to Clinton County Speedway, Port Royal Speedway, and Bedford Speedway, respectively.
Impressive enough, Whittall, powered by RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pandemonium Bar & Grill, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, and Milky Way Restaurant, rallied big in his eventual top-ten at the Port Royal “Speed Palace,” commencing main event competition from 17th on the grid. Whittall is certainly no stranger to the Juniata County Fairgrounds half-mile, earning the 2025 track championship.
Whittall’s stretch of success included a pair of PA Posse 410 Sprint Series starts, the first on Friday at Clinton County and the second on Sunday at Bedford. Saturday’s start at Port Royal Speedway was for car owner Rod Gross.
“A strong weekend for all involved…pretty tough to find any flaws in those results,” Whittall said. “We’re going to keep doing what we’ve been doing. We have a lot of big events coming up and we want to be ready.”
ON DECK: Justin Whittall will continue his 2026 season with upcoming visits to Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 17-18. Each start will be for car owner Rod Gross.

“Double-D” goes one, two in weekend stops at Clinton County and PPMS; Fremont, Eldora ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (July 13, 2026) - “Double-D” Danny Dietrich flooded the headlines in his weekend trip through much of the Keystone State, not only achieving victory in his Friday night PA Posse Series visit to Clinton County Speedway in Mill Hall, but racing on to conclude his slate with a FAST on Dirt runner-up score at Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 11.
Dietrich, the ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprinter, earned his Clinton County triumph from the front row, outdueling Pennsylvania rivals Chase Dietz and Justin Whittall in the process. The feature win was Dietrich’s third of the season - a perfect momentum kick before a busy High Limit Racing and World of Outlaws slate in the Buckeye State.
“It took us some time to figure some things out with our program, but I think we’re on the right track,” Dietrich said. “We just want to take things one race at a time and have fun, and that was something we’ve been missing. Our heads are on straight and we’re focused. Excited to see what we can do in Ohio.”

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 13, 2026) - “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) put on a show Saturday night at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, not only claiming the evening’s 410 Sprint main event victory, but doing so from ninth on the grid. The win, earning the Clute, Texas, native a $6,000 share as well as a half beef, simultaneously propelled his win tally to 11 on the season - the perfect momentum kick prior to a major slate in the Buckeye State.
Reutzel, the ace of Ridge & Sons Racing’s Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprinter, launched his Knoxville effort with the third-fastest qualifying time within his respective group, racing on to finish third in his respective heat race. As noted, the High Limit Racing championship contender lined up ninth for the 25-lap “A,” driving his way to second with five to go before taking command from Ryan Timms on lap 22.
The Knoxville Raceway score was the 13th of Reutzel’s career.
“That’s exactly what we needed before activating our week in Ohio,” RSR Team Manager Ryan Wyant said. “The team has been working hard and we’re proud of everyone’s efforts. We have some big paydays in mind this week…that’s our plan.”

Trone Outdoor Motorsports Welcomes Lucas Wolfe to the Iconic No. 39
Central PA (July 10, 2026) – Trone Outdoor Motorsports is proud to announce a new partnership with Central Pennsylvania fan favorite Lucas Wolfe, who will climb behind the wheel of the legendary No. 39 sprint car beginning immediately.
The move marks the highly anticipated return of Wolfe to weekly PA Posse competition. The son of sprint car legend Randy Wolfe, Lucas has built a stellar career with countless memorable performances at Williams Grove Speedway, Lincoln Speedway, and tracks across the region.
Legacy Meets Proven Performance
The Trone Outdoor Motorsports name carries one of the richest traditions in Central Pennsylvania sprint car racing. From Ray and Martha Trone’s dominant Trone’s Sunoco Special No. 39 program (1951-1971) to the present-day operation led by car owner John Trone, the iconic maroon-and-white No. 39 has remained synonymous with high expectations, carrying standout drivers including Greg Hodnett, Doug Esh, Cory Haas, and many others to Victory Lane.
Wolfe brings an equally impressive résumé to the seat, including four Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek championships, two Williams Grove National Open victories, a Central Pennsylvania championship, and more than 50 career 410 sprint car feature wins. His experience, determination, and familiarity with Central Pennsylvania’s toughest competition make him a natural fit for the historic No. 39.
After a long absence from competition this season, fans have eagerly awaited Wolfe’s return. Now, one of the region’s most accomplished drivers joins forces with the Trone 39, creating an exciting combination for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Catch the No. 39 This Weekend. Wolfe will debut aboard the Trone Outdoor Motorsports No. 39 tonight at Clinton County Speedway before returning Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.
A new chapter begins for one of Central Pennsylvania’s most iconic sprint car teams, and the racing world will be watching as Lucas Wolfe and Trone Outdoor Motorsports look to add another winning chapter to the storied legacy of the 39.
Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA – Join us this Saturday, July 11, at Skagit Speedway for Hall of Fame Night as we honor and induct Kirby Hoyle, Steve Beitler, and Mark Harrison into the Skagit Speedway Hall of Fame. Plus, it’s an all-open-wheel weekend with the Hills Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars, the Sportsman Sprint Cars, and the Midgets.
For the last time in the month of July, the 410 Sprint Cars hit the dirt oval of Skagit Speedway, and the points battle is heating up. 410 Sprint Car rookie Levi Hillier was leading points going into last Saturday’s race on July 4; however, after the dust settled, Hillier is now tied with defending 410 track champion Trey Starks. Hillier and Starks battled for the top spot before Starks moved past Hillier on an early restart; however, Hillier kept pace with the Puyallup, WA, native but was unable to regain the top spot. Starks became the first repeat winner in the division. Starks and Hillier sit tied with 919 points; Tyler Thompson is -111 points back in third; Robbie Price is -114 points back in fourth; and Colin Mackey is -147 points back in fifth.
Jeff Westergard found victory lane for the second time this season, and the second time in a row, the last time the Sportsman Sprint Cars were at Skagit Speedway on June 27. Lawrance Kirkham shot out to the early lead before Westergard passed him in lap traffic. Westergard leads the points with 460; Seth Hespe is second -30 points back, and Jailynn Serrano is third -36 points back. Westergard is the only driver to have a perfect top five streak through four features, but Hespe, Serrano, Macie Logsdon, and Jesson Jacobson all have yet to finish outside the top-10.
The Midgets return to Skagit Speedway after last racing for three nights during the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. Alex Peck won on Thursday night, but Tristin Thomas won the next two nights. Thomas led all 25 laps relatively unchallenged on the final night, Shane Smith drove from fourth to second, and Alex Peck finished third. Smith and Thomas are now tied for the most wins in the division with two wins. Smith leads the points with 497; Thomas is second -29 points back, and Jonathan Jorgenson is third -50 points back. Thomas is the only driver to have finished in the top five through five races. Smith, Jorgenson, and Tyler Luce have all finished inside the top 10.

Lattomus Raises the Bar With 2026 PA Speedweek Performance
Lewes, DE – July 10, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus wrapped up Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek with a breakthrough type of consistency, qualifying for all eight feature events across the series. The achievement marks a significant step forward from his rookie 410 campaign at the series, when he qualified for only two feature events.
The defining story of his performance was how he
consistently secured his spot in the A-main by putting the work in early.
Lattomus earned his way into the feature through his heat race on seven
different nights. It was a clear demonstration of the progress the team has
made in their preparation and execution, centered on an emphasis of
performance in time trials.
KEEPING IT GOING
At Speedweek, the details matter, especially when the fields are stacked with top-level competition and every transfer spot becomes precious. Lattomus and his Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91 team leaned into what was working, with the key this year being improved results in time trials.
Lattomus timed very well in early qualifying on seven of the eight nights, giving him the best possible chance to control his night and race for results in the heat.
“We made all eight shows; that’s something to be proud of,” crew chief Kyle Reinhardt said. “Some of the top names in the series didn’t accomplish that. It’s not an easy thing to do with the deep fields you’re competing against at most of these races.”
“The biggest difference for us this year was how we timed
early,” Lattomus explained. “Once you are putting your name in the front
half of the field in time trials, it changes everything about how you
approach heats and how comfortable you feel going into the feature. That
consistency helped us put ourselves in the right spots.”
A BIG WEEK OF SPEED—AND HEAT WINS
Lattomus did not just qualify; he earned the overall fast
time award at BAPS Motor Speedway, and the following night at Lincoln
Speedway, he narrowly missed earning the same honor, further proof of the
speed that was showing up early on the card. He also backed up his
time-trial success with heat-race execution, winning two heat races during
the series.
TRANSFERS THAT TURNED INTO FEATURES
While the goal at any Speedweek is simple, to make the A-main, the pathway Lattomus carved throughout the series shows how much the team improved in performance and day-to-day execution.
There was one night that did not follow the standard script,
when Lattomus was involved in a heat race crash at Lincoln Speedway. The
team reacted quickly to make necessary repairs, and Lattomus earned a
second-place finish in the B-main to transfer into the A-main, maintaining
the momentum of the week. It is that kind of resiliency that marks the
difference between a good Speedweek and a great one.
PROGRESSION THAT SHOWS
Preston said he knows what this week means in terms of growth.
“Last year, Speedweek was a learning experience, and we did not get near as much done as we wanted,” he shared. “This year, we are getting into the features and doing it the right way, by timing well early, winning races in the heat, and making sure we are always prepared for what the track is going to give us.”
For Lattomus, the stretch was not about chasing one single
highlight, but rather about building a week where the process delivered
results again and again.
UPCOMING PLANS
With the series now complete, the No.91 team will continue carrying that confidence and momentum forward. Preston will return to action at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA, on Saturday, July 11, continuing to build on the gains he made throughout Speedweek.

POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint Championship Fight Heads to Lake Ozark Speedway for Cove Clash POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint Championship Fight Heads to Lake Ozark Speedway for Cove Clash
Belleville, IL. (7/9/26) - The highly anticipated summer stretch intensifies this weekend as the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League returns to Lake Ozark Speedway for the Cove Clash, where a loaded field of championship contenders, proven winners, and rising stars will battle at the league’s home venue.
A stellar roster of competitors is expected to take on the destination Missouri oval, including point leader Xavier Doney, three-time champion Ayrton Gennetten, recent winner Ryder McCutcheon, John Barnard, Dylan Bloomfield, Roger Crockett, Colton Fisher, Rodney Huband, Landon Crawley, Jack Potter, Kameron Key, Joe B. Miller, Blake Hahn, Natalie Doney, Gage Montgomery, Scotty Milan, Miles Paulus, Scotty Thiel, Kaleb Johnson, Broc Elliott, Bryce Norris, Steven Russell, Kyle Bellm, Jake Neuman, and additional entries expected.
Lake Ozark Speedway has consistently produced unforgettable moments throughout league history. Gennetten enters tied atop the all-time wins list at the facility with three victories, sharing the mark with Joe B. Miller and Hunter Schuerenberg. Kameron Key has also enjoyed success at the Eldon oval with a pair of career triumphs, proving experience can be just as valuable as momentum when the green flag drops.
With the Elite Championship entering its most critical stretch of the season, every lap and every position gained could prove pivotal in the title chase.
Xavier Doney continues to lead the standings, but his advantage has tightened to just 70 points after heartbreaking misfortune at the previous event. Doney appeared poised for another victory after leading 24 of 25 feature laps before running out of fuel late. Despite the setback, the sophomore standout continues to showcase remarkable consistency and remains the only driver to earn multiple High Point honors during the 2026 campaign.
Now tied just 70 markers behind, reigning champion Ayrton Gennetten and rookie sensation Ryder McCutcheon have turned the championship into a multi-driver fight for supremacy.
Gennetten has built momentum with five consecutive top-ten finishes, placing the veteran squarely back into contention. Meanwhile, McCutcheon continues to impress beyond his years, becoming the youngest feature winner in league history earlier this season. The Rookie of the Year leader has paired speed with consistency and now finds himself tied for second in the overall standings.
Lurking just behind is Gage Montgomery, whose six straight top-ten finishes have elevated him to fourth in points. Montgomery owns the league’s best average finish among full-time competitors at 6.8 while sharing the season lead in heat race victories with Landon Crawley.
Joe B. Miller rounds out the top five while holding the league’s PassMaster honors after advancing an impressive 38 positions during feature competition this season. The three-time Lake Ozark Speedway winner will undoubtedly be among the favorites when the field rolls onto the speedway.
Just behind, Dylan Bloomfield has surged into sixth in the standings with five consecutive top-ten finishes and has established himself as one of the fastest qualifiers on tour. Crawley continues to showcase consistency as another driver capable of making a championship push, sitting seventh and within striking distance of the top spot.
Further back, drivers such as Miles Paulus, Colton Fisher, Scotty Milan, Natalie Doney, Roger Crockett, and John Barnard continue searching for breakout performances that could reshape both the championship picture and the outcome of the Cove Clash.
With former Lake Ozark winners, championship hopefuls, Rookie of the Year contenders, and several first-time winners all expected to be in attendance, the ingredients are set for another memorable chapter in the history of the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League at Lake Ozark Speedway.

MUST SEE RACING SET TO INVADE OWOSSO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY NIGHT
July 9, 2026 – Indianapolis, Indiana - The Must See Racing Sprint Series returns to action this Saturday night July 11 when the series makes its first and only visit to Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan.
The series last competed at Owosso Speedway last Labor Day Weekend. Kody Swanson swept both of those events in a two-day format.
Entering race #3 of the 2026 championship chase, Bobby Santos III holds the top spot in the point standings with a 26-point margin over Jimmy McCune. Santos III won the most recent series race at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan June 6.
McCune is a five-time former MSR champion and is showing signs hat he could be a championship contender as the season plays out. Three-time and defending series champion Joe Liguori currently sits in third place only 2 points behind McCune.
Owosso Speedway has hosted several competitive Must See Racing events dating back to the 2014 season. SATURDAY’s event will be the fifteenth MSR appearance at Owosso Speedway.
Last years June 21, 2025 event may have been one of the most exciting in series history. Eventual winner Bobby Santos III and Kody Swanson waged a terrific battle through lapped traffic that wasn’t decided until the last lap in a near photo finish.
SATURDAY’s event is shaping up to be just as exciting. The event is expected to draw the largest field of cars thus far in 2026.
The early expected entry list shows former series feature winners Colton Bettis, Jimmy McCune, Ryan Litt, Joe Liguori, Jason Blonde, Jeff Bloom, and Charlie Schultz set to participate.
Other expected entrants include Jimmy McCune Jr. Landon Butler, Dorman Snyder, Kevin Mingus, Tommy Nichols, Mike Ling, and JJ Henes among others.
South African Quintin Saayman is also expected to compete in
his second MSR event of the season. With Saayman’s participation, three
countries will be represented in Saturday’s event along with Canadians Ling
and Litt.

RACING ROARS BACK: TRI-CITY RACEWAY PARK RETURNS JULY 10
WITH EXTRAVAGANZA FEATURING 410 SPRINTS AND $1,000-TO-WIN ECONOMOD MANIA
TOUR
FRANKLIN, PA — After a two-week summer break, engines are ready to fire back
up as 4 Star Racing brings an action-packed night of dirt track racing back
to Tri-City Raceway Park this Friday night, July 10. Fans will welcome back
four weekly divisions alongside two highly anticipated guest classes for a
jam-packed schedule on the Venango County half-mile oval.
Headlining the return are the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars
squaring off in their eighth race of the season. The championship battle is
a razor-thin thriller, with Brandon Matus clinging to a single-point lead
over the "ageless wonder" Bob Felmlee (384 to 383). While Felmlee has two
checkered flags to his name this year, Brandon Spithaler currently sits atop
the division's win list with three victories, meaning the heavy hitters are
all in peak form for Friday's showdown.
In the RK Virgile Iron & Steel Pro Stocks, consistency has been key for Jake
Whitling. Holding one victory this season, Jake commands a 44-point lead
over Pat Fielding. However, all eyes remain on Bobby Whitling—the track's
all-time leading feature winner in the class—who extended his historic
record to 66 career checkered flags after picking up a pair of wins earlier
this season.
The 21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars have seen total dominance
from two drivers across their six races. Defending track champion Blaze
Myers and Gale Ruth Jr. have split the season perfectly, each capturing
three wins. Myers holds a 27-point advantage over Ruth in the standings,
leaving fans wondering if a new face will emerge in victory lane or if the
Myers-Ruth combo will continue to set the pace.
In the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars, the burning question is
whether anyone can slow down William Baker Jr. Baker has been nearly
unstoppable, capturing seven victories out of the last eight races at the
track. Defending champion Raidden Wilson has been knocking on the door of an
upset and sits just 13 points behind Baker heading into Friday.
Adding to the excitement, the EconoMod Mania Tour makes its first-ever
appearance at Tri-City, marking just the third time overall that EconoMods
have raced at the speedway. The division hasn't visited the track since 2018
when Jacob Eucker took the win, preceded by a Josh Ferry victory back in
2015. Drivers will be racing hard for a hefty $1,000 winner's prize.
Rounding out the action, the Mini Stocks return for their third event of the
season, competing under the strict SCRDA rules package. Camden Franz and
Jacob Wheeler earned the hardware in the first two rounds and will look to
double up against a hungry field.

Sprint Cars, Stock Cars, Bicycle Giveaways, Kids Dance Battle and More This Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway
Perris, California — July 7, 2026 — Perris Auto Speedway
will be the place to be for exciting dirt-track racing and family fun when
Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch presents the Avanti Windows and Doors
USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars this Saturday night, July 11. In
addition to a full night of wheel-to-wheel racing, fans will be treated to a
Kids Dance Battle at intermission, T-shirt launches, Heat Race Heroes
contests, bicycle giveaways, and an autograph session with former Mexican
National Speedway Champion Steve Ostling.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m., and the fun will begin immediately with Ostling signing autographs and chatting with fans in front of the track’s sports bar. Cars will hit the track soon after for wheel packing, hot laps, and sprint car qualifying. Opening ceremonies will begin at 7:00, with the first race taking the green flag at 7:05.
“The main events have been great this year,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “In the sprint cars, we have had three different winners in four races. RJ Johnson, the two-time champion and current point leader, is the only driver with more than one win at the track this year. He won in February and May. Ricky Lewis won in March, and last month it was Brody Roa.”
“Like a lot of teams, Brody was waiting on an engine to be finished,” Kazarian continued. “He finally got it in May, and in the starts since, he has been a rocket ship. He finished second to RJ at the Salute to Indy and won the last time out.”
“We also have two newer guys in the series who have been lights out lately, Kazarian continued. “RJ’s teammate, Connor Lundy, finished second in the last two races, and Cole Wakim has steered one of the Inland Rigging cars to third in each of those events. They are both very talented, and both are big-time threats to the veterans.”
In the PASSCAR Stock Car classes, Victorville’s Rick Arringdale in the Super Stocks, and Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda in the Street Stocks are the point leaders. In the Factory Stocks, Andrew Schmitz and Cameron Broe are tied for the point lead.
Arringdale, who is seeking his third track championship and first since 2001, brings in an 11-point lead over another longtime PAS champion, “Hot Rod” John Caley of Glen Avon. Steven Welch of Beaumont, George Leventis of Rancho Palos Verdes, and Blaine Whitson of Temecula are third through fifth.
Unlike Arringdale, Mahony is chasing his first track title in the Street Stocks. He enters Saturday night with a seven-point lead over Leventis. Mahony’s teammates Morgan Rowlan and Shaun Estes of Riverside are third and fourth, with Colton’s Justin Dunn fifth.
The tightest championship battle of the season is in the Factory Stocks. In a rare occurrence, the top four drivers are separated by only one point. That is right — one point! Broe and Schmitz, both of Ramona, are tied for the lead with 54 points. Three-time champion David Stites of Canyon Lake and 2023 champion Kris Carnish of Menifee are tied just one point behind with 53. James Keller of Oak Hills, who blew an engine at the last race, is fifth in the standings and still only six points out of the lead.
On July 18, the famous Riverside County speed plant will host the PAS 600cc Winged Restricted, Winged A-Class Micro Sprints, and Junior Micro Sprints for the first time.
The final event of the month will take place on July 25, when the wildly popular Night of Destruction returns for another evening of hard-hitting, family-friendly racing excitement.
Gates for all shows will open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00.
The only authorized agent for advance tickets to PAS events is [tix.com]tix.com. Fans who do not wish to purchase advance tickets will still be able to buy plenty of tickets at the ticket windows on race night.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. For more information, visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.

The First Ever Three Rivers Throwdown for 410 Sprints,
Saturday, July 11, 2026
A Hoseheads Exclusive
By DJ Johnson
June 10, 1979, Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway opened its gate for fans to
witness the largest dirt track in Western PA.
The 5/8-mile banked oval has hosted 410 Sprint Car races over the years, but
this Saturday marks the first time PPMS will offer $10,000 to win, $1,000
just to start the Three Rivers Throwdown, a FAST on Dirt 410 sanctioned
event which guarantees $200 tow money for any team that does not make the
Three Rivers Throwdown feature—making it a milestone event for both the
track and the drivers that qualify for the event.
Yes, PPMS is known for fantastic Super Late Model racing since opening the
gates. All the Super Late Model greats raced there. The former owners were
Late Model people, so of course, the Super Late Models were the headline
division most nights for many years.
For eight years, from 1993-2000, the All Star Circuit of Champions
sanctioned Western PA Sprint Speedweek, and PPMS played a major role. The
Jacobs, Frankie Kerr, Dale Blaney, and even Van “The Man” Gurley raced at
PPMS, along with former Indy Car driver, Sarah Fisher! The Monster Half-Mile
is the Thursday night mainstay of the current iteration, which was revived
in 2021.
Under new ownership, PPMS isn’t afraid to try new events. The “Pot of Gold,”
which featured the FAST on Dirt 410’s, kicked off in March of 2024, well
before the regular season opener, and has run each year since.
There is plenty of excitement surrounding the Three Rivers Throwdown for the
FAST on Dirt 410 Sprint Cars at PPMS on Saturday, July 11.
PPMS’s Tyler Harris has been promoting the event since it was announced, and
the fans are heavily involved. From the name, the race contest to picking
the music for the races, and more, fan involvement is all over this event.
There is even a Most Popular Driver Contest running until Friday at Noon for
any driver who declares for the event. As drivers announce their intentions,
PPMS will add the team to their promotional graphics. The Most Popular
Driver, the driver with the most reactions, will receive two complimentary
pit passes to the biggest 410 Sprint Car event in the history of the
speedway.
The entries are pouring in, with the top three FAST on Dirt 410 Sprint
Series headlining the list. A few names you might be surprised to see: The
Steel City Outlaw, Tim Shaffer in the Williams 01, and High Limit Racing
High Roller, Sye Lynch in the 42. Shaffer will be pulling double duty as the
Aliquippa native will be competing in the 410s and in his RUSH Late Model.
John Jerich from Kittanning in the No.3 holds down the second spot in FAST
on Dirt Sprint Series points, only 40 back from the leader, Tyler Gunn.
Jerich has had a good season to date, and he likes the FAST on Dirt Sprint
Series format.
“The big difference with FAST versus racing at local tracks is FAST does a
real qualifying session,” Jerich said. “You have to be at the top of your
game for two laps at the start of your night.”
Jerich, a former IMCA 305 racer with the Allegheny Sprint Tour, ran 30 races
in the 410 locally in 2024. Despite breaking his leg in May of 2025 and
taking three months to recover, Jerich returned in August and ran a few
races at the end of the season. The 2026 season is Jerich’s first season
with FAST on Dirt 410 Sprint Series.
Besides Gunn and Jerich, Ricky Peterson has won at PPMS, and he will be a
threat again. But the guy who loves PPMS the most is Apollo’s A.J. Flick.
The winner of this year’s Western PA Speedweek race at PPMS, Flick, will
have his work cut out for him against Brandon Spithaler, among others.
For additional information on the Three Rivers Throwdown at Pittsburgh PA
Motor Speedway, go to www.ppms.com or bossfastsprints.com.
Saturday’s entire program will be streamed on Dirt.TV from PPMS.

County Fair Circuit for Sprint Invaders in Tipton,
Donnellson on Thursday and Friday!
by Bill Wright
July 6, 2026 – The County Fair dates are upon the Mohrfeld
Solar Sprint Invaders with a pair of dates this Thursday and Friday! The
Cedar County Fair and the Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa is up first
on Thursday, July 9. The Lee County Fair and the Lee County Speedway in
Donnellson, Iowa follows on Friday, July 10.
Weather has plagued the series lately in its attempts to
race on the quarter-mile in Tipton, but this marks the thirteenth time it
has visited. Two-time winners over the years have included Kaley Gharst,
Ryan Jamison, Bobby Mincer and Terry McCarl. Jack Dover, John Schulz, Chris
Martin and Bill Balog have also won in Tipton with the Sprint Invaders.
Hot laps start at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Admission to the races
is included with your admission to the Cedar County Fair. Admission before 5
p.m. is $10 for adults and $5 for Seniors (65+) and Kids (6-16). Five and
under are FREE. Add $5 for admission after 5 p.m. IMCA Modifieds, the
American Iron Racing Series (A.I.R.S.), Midwest Jalopies and a Sheriff’s
Race are also on the card.
Friday will be the 55th time the Sprint Invaders have run at
Lee County Speedway’s 3/8-mile oval. Cam Martin won his first ever Sprint
Invaders feature there in May. Gharst leads the all-time win list there with
six, followed by Schulz (5), Matt Sutton and McCarl (4) and Jeff Mitrisin

Cottle’s Top-Four Run Is Thwarted
When Doran-Swanson No. 77 Loses Power
Sunday at Terre Haute and Ends Up 14th
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 7 — Shane Cottle was a solid fourth and preparing for a late kick during a restart with 63 laps complete in the 100-lap Sumar Classic USAC Silver Crown race Sunday night at the Terre Haute Action Track. Unfortunately an unknown gremlin caused the Doran-Swanson Racing No. 77 to shut off going into Turn 1 on the restart and bring out another yellow. Cottle was able to get out of the racing line and avoid contact with anyone else. He was even able to refire the car and return to the field in tenth place, still on the lead lap. However, the same problem occurred again and he was forced to retire the entry with 69 laps complete for a 14th-place finish.
It was a disappointing end to the evening for the driver from Kansas, Ill., and the Lebanon, Ohio-based team after Cottle qualified fifth, just 0.423 off the pole, and ran mostly in fourth or fifth place for more than two-thirds of the race on the half-mile dirt oval. It was the 22nd edition of the Sumar Classic and the 500th USAC Silver Crown race ever held. It was also Cottle’s first time driving the car, which carries the colors of Doran Enterprises, Rosewood Machine & Tool, and TJ Forged.
Cottle set his fastest lap of the race early, on lap three, with a time of 22.338 after qualifying with a lap in 21.050. That was the third-fastest lap in the early going, and even at the end of the race it was the sixth-fastest lap run by anyone.
He was fifth for the first five laps, which included a red flag with four laps down when the 17th-place driver, Patrick Bruns, flipped and hit the wall in Turn 1. Luckily he wasn’t hurt.
Cottle got by Kyle Cummins for fourth with a move to the outside going into Turn 1 following a restart with seven laps down, but another yellow flew shortly thereafter and he had to give the position back. He remained in fifth until lap 23 when C.J. Leary got by. Chase Stockon passed him on lap 29 to push him to seventh, but he passed Stockon back on the very next lap to regain sixth.
He was back in the position he started, fifth, on lap 34 when both Cummins and he passed Justin Grant. By the halfway point he was still fifth, 1.009 seconds behind the driver in fourth, Leary, and 1.283 seconds ahead of the driver in sixth, Grant.
Four laps later he moved back into fourth when he passed Leary. He remained in fourth for the next 10 laps until the mechanical issue surfaced.
Polesitter Mitchel Moles led all but one lap and finished more than 2 seconds ahead of the runner-up, Hayden Reinbold. Leary, Grant, and Jake Swanson rounded out the top five. Bill Rose was the hard charger, as he came from 18th to finish sixth. Steve Gennetten, Mario Clouser, Gregg Cory, and Cummins rounded out the top 10.
“There was no warning; the car just shut off,” Cottle said after the race. “It was running well before that.
“I had some close calls. Probably the closest was when one guy stalled on a restart right in front of me.
“I had a good battle with a couple of guys; probably the one with Cummins was the best.
“The track was really technical tonight. Turns 1 and 2 were good, but 3 and 4 were a little rough.”
Doran-Swanson Racing is fielding a car for Briggs Danner in the series’ races on paved tracks. One of them is next on the schedule, as the series visits Winchester (Ind.) Speedway July 19. Cottle’s next race with the team is Aug. 22 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

500 Sprint Car Tour Heads East for Historic Pennsylvania 50 at Jennerstown Speedway Complex
On Saturday, July 11th, a new chapter in the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour history will be written as the series makes its long-awaited debut at Jennerstown Speedway Complex for the inaugural Pennsylvania 50.
The event marks several significant milestones for both the tour and the historic Pennsylvania oval. Not only will it be the first appearance by the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour at Jennerstown, but it will also be the easternmost race ever contested by the series. Even more notably, the Pennsylvania 50 will feature the first non-wing pavement sprint car race in the history of the Somerset County facility.
Known for producing exciting racing across a variety of divisions, Jennerstown Speedway Complex has hosted countless marquee events throughout its history. This weekend, fans will witness a completely new style of competition as the powerful, wingless pavement sprint cars make their first laps around the fast 1/2-mile oval.
A strong field of drivers from across the country is set to tackle the historic event.
Leading the entry list is reigning Little 500 champion Kody Swanson, who has established himself as one of the premier pavement sprint car racers in the nation. The Kingsburg, California native will pilot the familiar No. 33 for Nick Bohanon and enters the weekend as one of the favorites in the series' first visit to Pennsylvania.
Indiana's Dakoda Armstrong returns to 500 Sprint Car Tour competition aboard the No. 1 machine. Armstrong, a former NASCAR Xfinity Series competitor, has continued to expand his pavement sprint car schedule and will look to add another victory to his resume in unfamiliar territory.
Veteran Kyle O'Gara brings one of the deepest resumes in pavement sprint car racing into the Pennsylvania 50. The Camby, Indiana driver has collected victories throughout his career in both full size sprint cars and pavement midgets, and will be among the contenders as teams search for the right setup at Jennerstown.
Arizona's Nathan Byrd continues to represent series sponsor yourBIGplans.com while gaining valuable experience in non-wing sprint car competition. Byrd has shown steady improvement throughout the season and hopes the trip east provides an opportunity for another strong performance.
The field also features several accomplished veterans and rising stars, including Derek Bischak, Cord Ehrhart, Donnie Adams Jr., Olivia Shelbo, Jackson Macenko, Rob Keesling, Tony McVey, Justin Harper, Rylan Gray, Tony Main, Rick Holley and Brady Allum. Holley will also be making his yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour debut.
While many competitors have extensive pavement sprint car experience, Jennerstown presents an entirely new challenge. With no previous 500 Sprint Car Tour data to rely upon, teams will begin the weekend with a clean slate, making practice sessions especially important as drivers learn how their cars react to the unique characteristics of the Pennsylvania oval.
The Pennsylvania 50 also continues the tour's commitment to expanding the reach of non-wing pavement sprint car racing. By venturing into new markets and competing at legendary facilities, the series continues to introduce fans to one of motorsports' most exciting forms of racing while giving competitors the opportunity to tackle tracks they've never raced before.
When the green flag drops, history will officially be made as the first non-wing pavement sprint cars race at Jennerstown Speedway Complex. One driver will earn the distinction of becoming the inaugural Pennsylvania 50 winner while etching their name into both the speedway's and the 500 Sprint Car Tour's history books.
Fans can expect 50 laps of intense side-by-side action as the tour's talented roster battles to become the first winner at the series' newest venue.
Fans won't want to miss this historic afternoon of racing at Jennerstown Speedway Complex. Pit gates will open at 1:00 p.m., with grandstand gates opening at 4:00 p.m. as on-track practice gets underway. Qualifying for the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., with the 50-lap Pennsylvania 50 feature set to follow heat race competition for the local divisions. Grandstand admission is $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 15 and under. Fans unable to attend in person can watch every lap live on Racing America as the 500 Sprint Car Tour makes history with its first-ever visit to Pennsylvania.
Great Lakes Super Sprints Schedule Adjustment Moves Winston Speedway to Saturday, September 5th
Merrill, MI - Officials with the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP and Winston Speedway have announced that the event scheduled for Friday, September 4th has been rescheduled to Saturday, September 5th, with a “TBA” placed on the schedule for Friday, September 4th.
When the 2026 schedule of events was released in December, GLSS officials were excited for the prospect of a three-day Championship swing during Labor Day weekend in Michigan. A TBA was originally placed on Saturday, September 5th, allowing a race track time to finalize plans to host the GLSS. Unfortunately, those plans did not come to fruition.
Winston Speedway, already planning a three-day show themselves, welcomed a move for the GLSS from Friday to Saturday, guaranteeing that, at a minimum, teams and fans wouldn’t have a gap in the weekend of racing.
Officials with the GLSS are now working to fill the Friday, September 4th date in an effort to keep a full weekend in tact. The 2026 GLSS Tour and MacAllister CAT (North) Champions will be crowned on Sunday, September 6th at Crystal Motor Speedway.

Starks Earns Skagit Speedway Victory to Garner Share of Championship Points Lead While Kicking Off Second Half of Season
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (July 6, 2026) – Trey Starks pulled into a tie atop the Skagit Speedway 410ci winged sprint car division championship standings thanks to a strong night that ended with a victory last Saturday.
Starks qualified third quickest before he won both a heat race and the main event.
“We drew a late number for qualifying and I didn’t get the lap down that I thought I could,” he said. “I was trying something I thought would work and I don’t think the track had what I thought it had in it. We still qualified third, which was good enough to put us on the front row of a heat race. We won the heat race to get into the feature redraw and we had an average draw of No. 3 out of six.
“On the start, we got into third. The leaders were racing each other and I was moving around. On the second or third lap I snuck into second. I was watching where Levi (Hillier) was running. We had a restart the lap after I got into second. He was running the top so my plan was to get a good start and cut off the bottom of turn four to see if I could get a good run going into turn one. I did just that and got to his inside down the frontstretch and was able to pass him going into turns one and two. From there I was really searching around. The track moved around a ton during the race. It ended up being right on the wall all the way around and there were some patches of grip in the middle and on the bottom. It was really tricky to figure out where to be. I moved around a ton. Once I got to the top I could tell that was the preferred lane in the second half of the race. It was one of the most fun races at Skagit in a while.”
The win was Starks’ eighth total triumph this season and his second in the 410 division, marking his fifth consecutive season with multiple 410 sprint car victories at Skagit Speedway.
“We got put in a little hole with Dirt Cup, but if we keep doing our job and having nights like that we should be on track to pull everything back together,” he said.
Another 410 winged sprint car program is on tap at Skagit Speedway this Saturday for Starks.

Dover Delivers Second Straight MSTS Win to Produce Back-to-Back Victories for First Time Since 2020
Inside Line Promotions – ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa (July 6, 2026) – Jack Dover was victorious last Friday at Rapid Speedway to earn his second straight Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series triumph.
That marked the first time since September 2020 that Dover has won back-to-back races and it was his 42nd career MSTS victory.
“It feels really good,” he said. “I said in my post-race interview the first time I won this year that the prime of my career was 2008 to 2012. I almost feel as good as I did then. I’m comfortable in the car and we’ve hit on some things. We’re winning 410 races and that’s not easy to do anywhere in the country.”
Dover capitalized on a low pill draw to win his heat race from the pole position. He then grabbed the front row of the main event and took advantage, leading all 25 laps for the victory.
“Any time you can start on the front row and get in the clear air it’s huge,” he said. “I got out front and never looked back. We built about a three-second lead before the track started rubbering down the last five laps. I slowed my pace down and just followed the lapped cars. I focused on trying to save my tires and protect the line.”
Dover currently leads the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series championship standings by 15 points.
A race on Thursday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., rained out.
The next MSTS competition is a three-day weekend July 16 at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn.; July 17 at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D.; and July 18 at Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minn.
QUICK RESULTS –
July 3 – Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa – Heat race: 1 (1); Feature: 1 (2).

Mallett Sidelined at Least Two Weeks to Recover Following Forceful Crash
Inside Line Promotions – COLUMBUS, Miss. (July 6, 2026) – Jordon Mallett will be out of a race car for at least the next two weeks following a hard impact last Thursday at Magnolia Motor Speedway.
Mallett placed fourth in a heat race and had guided the A.G. Rains’ owned sprint car from the sixth row into the top five late in the USCS Series feature before he was involved in a crash.
“I had made it up to fifth from 12th with two laps to go,” he said. “Third and fourth got together. A car had gotten upside down in front of us. It stopped flipping just in front of me and I had no exit plan or anywhere to go. I managed to get the car turned sideways and hit him with a head of steam. We didn’t get upside down, but just a sudden stop and a hard impact.
“I was on enough of an adrenaline high until after I tried to refire the car and we pulled off the race track. By the time they pushed me back to the trailer I realized I’d have to have help getting out of the race car.”
Mallett was credited with a 14th-place result, snapping his career-best eight-race top-five streak. He ended the night with a trip to the emergency room.
“I have a severe concussion and rest is all that will heal it,” he said. “I have a lot of right side pain in my ribcage where it bruised the bones. Other than that, everything else is sore as expected. Praise God nothing was broken. It could have been way worse.
“We’re going to sit out the next two weekends and re-evaluate from there. It’s a real bummer because there’s a pair of ASCS National Tour races in Arkansas this weekend that we were really looking forward to, but health comes first.”
QUICK RESULTS –
July 2 – Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss. – Heat race: 4 (5); Feature: 14 (12).
SEASON STATS –
14 races, 0 wins, 9 top fives, 10 top 10s, 11 top 15s, 14 top 20s

Landon Brooks 10th at Silver Dollar Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: After a week away from racing following the Fastest 5 Days through the Northwest and the Super Dirt Cup, Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing were in action last Wednesday night at Silver Dollar Speedway where Brooks picked up a 10th place finish.
“Our qualifying issues continue, but fortunately we race really well and can dig out of that early hole which is what we did again on Wednesday night,” Landon Brooks said. “My guys always work so hard and despite our slow start I know we will be good at the end of the night.”
With 24 cars checked into Silver Dollar Speedway, Brooks timed in 13th fastest in time trials, which put the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L entry in the third row of his heat race.
Finishing sixth in his heat, the Rio Oso, CA driver was forced into the “B”, in which he got off to a very good start and opened up a sizeable lead over the field. A late restart saw Brooks ultimately give up the top spot, but his second-place finish was enough to put him into the feature where he lined up in the 17th starting position.
“In the ‘B’, I felt really good and we were really happy with how the car was and how it reacted,” Brooks said. “I didn’t quite get the engine cleared out enough before the restart and we didn’t fire off how I needed to, but it was the difference between starting 16th or 17th.”
Moving into the feature event, Brooks was one of the few who was able to get moving forward on the reworked surface. With limited stoppages over the course of the 30-lapper, Brooks was on the move early as he was into 11th by the seventh lap, and then cracked the Top-10 on the 17th marker.
The track stayed fast around the bottom for the duration of the race which made grabbing positions inside the Top-10 difficult. Continuing to hold solid in the final laps, Brooks closed the night out with his 14th Top-10 of the season.
“I am so thankful that the Hamilton family continues to support this race team, and I am thankful that Kyle, Steven, and Tanner always work so hard and make good calls and changes night in and night out,” Brooks said.
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.

ON TAP: Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing return to NARC action this Saturday night at Santa Maria Speedway.

Reutzel seventh at Sprint Car Capital; Knoxville next before High Limit resumes in Ohio
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 6, 2026) - Although the High Limit Racing schedule does not resume until the Series invades Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio, on Monday, July 13, Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) remained on the throttle, taking advantage of their “off weekend” with a visit to the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 4.

“It feels good to put together big results during Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek,” Whittall said. “We didn’t commit to the entire week, but there’s still a ton of effort involved. My guys busted their butts all week in the heat and I’m super appreciative of their hard work. We’re due for a win…that’s the plan this weekend.”

We have some work to do to improve our program,” Dietrich said. “Regardless, I’m super proud of my team. The guys worked hard through the heat and never stopped. A big thanks to all of the fans for sticking it out all week, as well. They’re the reason we can do what we do.”

Jeff Dyer Doing Double Duty With CLS and USAC/CRA July 4th at Santa Maria Speedway
Yucca Valley, CA — July 1, 2026 — After a second-place
finish three weeks ago and a brief vacation, Southern California open wheel
racer Jeff Dyer will return to action in a big way this Saturday, July 4th,
at the Doug Fort Memorial at the Santa Maria Speedway. Dyer will be doing
double duty as he enters the night as the point leader in the California
Lightning Sprint Car Series presented by Motor City Buick/GMC. In addition,
he plans on racing his 410 in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series for the first
time since February 28th.
Dyer comes into the night with a 65-point lead as the CLS approaches the halfway point of the 2026 campaign. His last outing came on June 13th when he finished second to 2025 series champion Aiden Lange in a fierce, crowd pleasing dual. That result gave Dyer six top 10 finishes in seven CLS starts in 2026. Of those six races, he has two wins, a second, and a third-place finish.
Saturday’s race will be the second for the 32-year-old CLS at Santa Maria this year. When the CLS visited the first time on April 4th, things did not quite go the way the California Highway Patrol Officer would like. After a bright start when he qualified second fastest, a broken chain knocked him out of his heat race. In a program that was rushed along by officials, the Yucca Valley, California resident did not get the chain adequately fixed and dropped out of the main with a ninth-place finish.
Dyer will be making his first USAC/CRA start since the series season opener when he finished 16th at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway. The only other time he raced the car in 2026 he finished 23rd in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas on March 13th.
This Saturday will be the third straight year for the CLS and USAC/CRA on Independence Day weekend. Last year he had mechanical ills and did not start the CLS main. However, he recorded his best USAC/CRA finish of the year that night when he placed 11th. Two years ago, he won the CLS main event at the holiday show and was 19th in the 410 sprint car.
Gates will open at 4:00 p.m., with racing at 6:00 at Santa Maria. For more information or to order advance tickets, visit the track website at santamariaspeedway.net. The office phone number is (805) 619-0478.
Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo, California.
In 2026, the following marketing partners will help keep Dyer on track: Amsoil Oil Twins, Jobu Racing, Fonseca Racing, and Specialty Fasteners. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2026, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.
Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and
Beverly Sels, throughout the 2026 season.

Dakota Albright Hangs On For Merced Speedway Top-5
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to Merced Speedway on Saturday night, Dakota Albright fought some mechanical issues during the feature event and was still able to hang on to a fifth-place finish in the feature event.
“I got off to a bit of a rough start in time trials, but we were able to make a couple of adjustments and ran really well in our heat, and for most of the feature,” Albright said. “Unfortunately, while running third, we had a clutch fail with three to go and we ended up finishing fifth.”
Timing in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials aboard his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35Jr, Albright found himself on the front row of his heat race.
Making a gear adjustment between qualifying and heat race action, Albright was very happy with the change as he picked up the win his heat race convincingly and put himself in a great spot for the feature event.
Finding himself on the front row of the feature event on a reworked surface that was extremely fast, Albright didn’t quite account for how heavy the surface would be and slipped back in the early laps.
Falling back to third as the race got into a rhythm, Albright gave chase to the lead duo, but was unable to get close enough to mount any challenges. Continuing to hold down the final spot on the podium amidst the non-stop affair, Albright’s clutch failed with just three laps left in the race.
Hanging on for he could, Albright closed the night out with a fifth-place finish.
“It was a bummer way to end the night,” Albright said. “I really had no idea there might be an issue until it went, and then there wasn’t anything we could do.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright is slated to return to action at Placerville Speedway on July 11th.

CRSA CELEBRATES AMERICA’S 250TH BIRTHDAY WITH THURSDAY
CARD AT LAND OF LEGENDS
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – June 30, 2026 – Photo By: Erika Bye
It will be another 4th of July holiday party in Canandaigua as the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints invade Land of Legends Raceway Thursday for their lone midweek show of the year.
The show is round three of the DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants Challenge.
This race will also be a part of the undercard to the Super DIRTcar Series’ Stars and Stripes Spectacular.
This is the 26th time the series has visited the Ontario County Fairgrounds and the second time this season. Last time at Land of Legends, defending series champion Zach Sobotka scored his first win of the season.
CRSA will also make a trip Sept. 18 during Gerald Haers Memorial weekend.
Here’s a look at the news and notes for Thursday.
Last Time Out: CRSA made their return to Fulton Speedway June 21 for an I-90 Pit Stop Challenge event.
Even with a dominant start from Dalton Herrick, Spencer Burley reeled him in during the long run and made the race-winning pass with three to go for his second win of the season.
Herrick started from pole position and had a lead of over two seconds before a yellow followed by a red for a massive wreck down the back straight, taking out nearly half the field.
In the final laps, Herrick ran a comfortable pace on the outside, but Burley started chipping down a 3.4-second lead, following Herrick’s line up top and using Mike Stelter as a pick to find his way around Herrick on the cushion to take his second win of the season.
“I was running him down pretty good,” said Burley. “I needed a little bit of lapped traffic to help me out and got what I needed. I could tell I was running him down little by little and I didn’t know that was three to go.”
Herrick finished second, while Mikey Smith scored third.
Point Standings: Despite Herrick coming so close to ending a 24-race winless streak, the 2022 series champion is now the new points leader, six ahead of Tyler Graves.
Timmy Lotz and Paul Colagiovanni Sr. each moved up the leaderboard to third and fourth, 67 and 86 points behind Herrick, respectively.
Fifth through eighth are separated by 12 points. Nick Webb, with wedding obligations last Saturday, dropped to fifth, 152 points behind. Jerry Sehn Jr., now sixth, trails Webb by seven.
Three points behind Sehn Jr. is Tomy Moreau, while Johnny Scarborough moved up to eighth, two frames back on Moreau.
The rest of the top 12 look like this: Maverick Coffey, ninth -211, Zach Sobotka, 10th -250, Spencer Burley, 11th -252, and Jeff Trombley, 12th -273.
In the DisBatch/Stirling Challenge, Zach Sobotka leads Spencer Burley by nine, while Darryl Ruggles, Dillon Paddock and Tyler Graves round out the top five, 20-22 points behind.
Last Week’s Tuneup: With no series race last week, many drivers used the weekly show as a tuneup race, with notable entries including Tucker Donath, Zach Virkler, Zach Bobbett and Kyle Drum.
In the end, it was Lance Dusett taking the checkered flag for his first win of the season.
Dusett is coming off his second podium with CRSA June 6 at Land of Legends, and a good run could put him in contention for a top-three finish or even a win.
Can he do it again?: As the only multi-time winner in CRSA competition this season, Spencer Burley has been one of the fastest to wheel a 305 Sprint Car in 2026.
In weekly action last week at Land of Legends, Burley made a 19th to third charge to the front to remain in the points lead.
Along with a win May 30 in Canandaigua in weekly action, there’s no doubt Burley will be a contender to win.
Breaking the Drought: Dalton Herrick looked to break a 24-race winless streak last time out at Fulton.
With the early start to the season, there’s a chance the drought, which dates back to Skyline Sept. 2024, will end this year.
This season, Herrick has a pair of second-place finishes, with the first coming at Fonda May 30.
Herrick has one career win at Land of Legends, which happened in Aug. 2023.
Due up: The last time Darryl Ruggles won a CRSA Sprints feature was at Land of Legends in Aug. 2022.
Based on the start he’s had to his 2026 season, Ruggles should be expected to run near the front.
At Ransomville and the first CRSA show of the year at Canandaigua, Ruggles led early before losing the lead to eventual winners Spencer Burley and Zach Sobotka.
However, on June 13, the Land of Legends Wall of Famer recorded his 50th career sprint car win at the facility.
By The Numbers: At Land of Legends, there have been 13 different CRSA winners since 2018. Darryl Ruggles leads with five, including three in 2018. Jeff Trombley has four and Alysha Bay has three. Seven drivers have recorded their first career win. Dan Craun remains the only driver to qualify for every CRSA A-Main in Canandaigua.
Tune In: Racing will be streamed on DIRTVision with Marty Czekala on the call. Additionally, enhance your race nights at the track or online via the MyRacePass app or www.myracepass.com for $5.99/month, featuring live timing, entry lists, fantasy, and results.
From the Frontman: “We’re expecting a packed crowd in the stands and in the pits as we prepare to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary! It’s gonna be an exciting night of racing as we begin our month of July!” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA returns to Pennsylvania for the first time in nearly two years with a visit to Penn Can Speedway for the first stop in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series. For those who can’t make it, action can be seen live on The Cushion.

Racing and Fireworks blast into Placerville Speedway on Independence Day
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The annual “Freedom Fireworks” event on Independence Day is one of the largest all season at Placerville Speedway and this Saturday that tradition continues, with championship racing presented by Berco Building Materials invading the quarter mile.
The Fourth of July Spectacular features three divisions in competition including the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models and the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks.
The evening will be capped off in style with a massive fireworks display to commemorate the holiday. As always, patriotic music will be pumped out all night long via the PA system, during one of the most popular shows of the season.
Grandstand seating on Saturday July 4th is reserved. All kids 11 and under will be admitted free in the stands. Online tickets can be purchased at https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr-070426
Hirst Home Team presents Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour and Live Music prior to the races until 6pm. A magician and face painter will be on hand to greet fans before the action kicks off.
Make sure to arrive with your appetite and enjoy some of the highest rated racetrack cuisine at the Speedway Café, including our “Recession Special” $6 Kings Meats Cheeseburgers.
“Mr. Consistency” Justyn Cox leads the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars into Fourth of July. The 2023 SCCT champion has finished among the top five in all but one show, including a solid runner up effort last weekend.
Jake Morgan, Andy Forsberg, Seth Standley and Michael Sellers complete the top five in points. Young Cole Croft is coming off his first career triumph last Saturday and will look to back that up on Saturday.
Yuba City’s Rod Oliver has also been a consistent machine with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models in 2026. Last year’s champion has claimed top five finishes in each race and sits out front by 16-markers going into Independence Day.
Auburn’s Ray Trimble is fresh off his third Ltd. Late Model victory of the season last week. Trimble is now six triumphs away from tying Ryan McDaniel at the top of the win list.
Seven-time Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock champion Nick Baldwin scooped up his 44th career victory at the track this past Saturday. Baldwin looks for season win number six on Independence Day.

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA — Celebrate America’s Independence Day and its 250th birthday this Saturday, July 4, at Skagit Speedway. A massive fireworks show presented by Les Schwab Tire Centers will light up the night sky after the conclusion of the final A-Main; you won’t want to miss it.
The Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars thunder back to Skagit Speedway, joined by the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds and the Hornets. Catch an action-packed night of racing and fireworks that will knock your socks off at Skagit Speedway; it’s an experience you won’t soon forget!
The Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars return after a weekend off and are coming off the high of the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Brad Sweet waltzed out of Skagit Speedway with a $100,026.26 plus an extra $12,000 in lap-led money. Brent Marks finished second, and Daryn Pittman finished third. Levi Hillier was the highest-finishing Skagit Speedway local driver, coming home with a sixth-place finish. Defending Dirt Cup winner Trey Starks finished 24th after pulling in during the A-Main on the final night. Starks is the most recent winner in weekly 410 competition, picking up his first 410 win of the year on June 6 during College and Kids Nights.
Starks entered Dirt Cup with the weekly points lead, but after Dirt Cup 410 rookie, Levi Hillier has taken over the points lead after a strong three-day run. The 16-year-old finished 15th on Thursday, 3rd on Friday after leading the opening 22 laps, and sixth on Saturday. Hillier leads with 809 points, Starks sits second eight points back, and Tyler Thompson is third 100 points back. The division has yet to see a repeat winner.
The Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds return after last racing June 13, when Kyler Moore picked up his first win of the year after starting sixth. Cole Logan’s winning streak was stopped at two, but he had an impressive charge from 10th to second. Moore shot to the lead on an early restart and ran away with the lead for most of the race until Adam Holtrop reeled him in, but Moore didn’t buckle under pressure and secured the victory. Holtrop fell back to third as Logan got around him. Logan leads the points battle with 157, Tyson Blood sits second four points back, and Rory Smith is third 11 points back of Logan. Both Logan and Blood have yet to finish outside the top five this year in four features. Smith has missed the top five once and Moore has missed it twice but they both have yet to finish outside the top-10.
The Hornets are back again for another week of exciting racing. Bryce Kolar and Steve Peters were the story last Saturday, June 27, fighting tooth and nail with each other for the race lead before Peters led the final two laps, picking up his second win of the year. Kolar finished second, and Vance Hibbard finished third. Through four features, Peters has not finished outside the top five, with his worst finish being fourth place. Kolar and Hibbard both have only missed the top five once and have yet to finish outside the top 10 in four features. Peters leads the points with 441, Kolar is second 21 points back, and Hibbard is third 25 points back.

Empire Super Sprints CNY Speedweek Set for 13th Year
By Curtis Berleue (Oswego, NY) | In what has become a tradition in Central
NY, the 13th annual Empire Super Sprints CNY Speedweek will kick off this
week. Five straight nights of racing are on tap, with a champion to be
crowned at the end of the week.
The week’s action will kick off on Tuesday June 30 at the Weedsport
Speedway, followed by a trip north to the Can-Am Speedway the following
night. Thursday, the tour moves back down Interstate 81 and slightly west to
the Utica-Rome Speedway, with Friday’s action being scheduled at Brewerton
Speedway. The week will conclude on Saturday, July 4th at the Fulton
Speedway. Each night will have an increased purse and pay $2,500 to the
winner.

Davie Franek (2022), Jordan Poirier (2024) and Dylan Swiernik (2025).

I what ended up being a breakout season for the Port Leyden, NY driver, he
won three of the five events – Can-Am, Utica-Rome and Fulton. With one win
already in 2026, he will surely be a force to reckon with during this year’s
Speedweek.

marketing partners – Monroe Mechanical Services (Weedsport), Cooks Plumbing,

Andy Forsberg 13th at Placerville Speedway Following Late Incident While Leading
PETERSEN MEDIA: Back in action after a weekend away, Andy Forsberg flirted with his ninth win of the season on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway but a business decision relegated him to a 13th place finish when the dust settled.
“First off it was great to see such a packed house on fan appreciation night after the fair, and the place was in really good shape after all the fair time events, so really good on RMI,” Andy Forsberg said.
With 22 cars on hand, Forsberg got the night started by laying down the fourth fastest lap in time trials aboard the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply No. 92 entry.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Forsberg got a great jump when the green flag flew and powered into the lead. Leading from flag to flag, Forsberg’s win moved him into the redraw where the two-pill put him on the front row of the 30-lapper.
With a very strong car underneath him on a very slick surface, Forsberg made his way to the cushion where he laid down some extremely strong laps and was equally as good in traffic.
With a trio of lapped cars between himself and second running Justyn Cox, a yellow on the 25th lap changed the complexion of the race, and removed Forsberg’s lapped car cushion.
When the action resumed with just five-laps left, Forsberg went to the bottom in turns one and two to take Cox’s line away and then went back to the high-side in turns three and four.
As he entered on the cushion, third running Cole Croft had a huge run behind him and as he dove low to slide up in front of Forsberg to make a bid at the lead, his move forced Forsberg to fall of the track or stay committed and most likely wreck.
Making a business decision, Forsberg checked up and slipped off the track and did a 360. Keeping the engine fired he was able to continue on, but was back in 13th which is where he went on to finish.
“At this point it’s just part of the way a lot of people race now, so I am used to it,” Forsberg said. “He did come down and say he thought he had enough of a run to clear, but it was one of those where I was going to wreck or slide off the track and decided to slide off. In the end, we had a car that was fast enough to win, and that is all I can ask for.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 22, Wins-8, Top 5’s-14, Top 10’s-17
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will be back in action on Wednesday night in Chico, CA.

Joel Myers Jr Pockets IRA Win at I-55 Raceway with Hayward Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to the seat of the Hayward Motorsports No. 19 entry on Saturday night after spending two weeks competing out West in his family car, Joel Myers Jr and company didn’t skip a beat as he picked up the win with the IRA in his first appearance at I-55 Raceway.
“Finally getting the chance to compete at I-55 Raceway was awesome,” Joel Myers Jr said. “It was a super fun track, and we were really fast all night.”
Timing the Velocity Engineering/Installtec Inc./RPM Chassis backed No. 19 in 4th fastest in qualifying time trials, Myers Jr took the green flag from the outside of the fourth row of his heat race.
Taking a liking to the high banks of I-55, Myers Jr powered his way to the lead and picked up the win.
Advancing into Dash No. 1, the Sebastopol, CA driver went from fourth to second which then lined him up in the second row of the 30-lap IRA Sprints A Feature event.
When the ‘A’ went green, Myers Jr settled into fourth as the race got into an early flow. As the laps clicked off, Myers Jr got increasingly better as he powered into third on the eighth circuit, and then was into the second on the 12th lap.
Chasing after Will Armitage who was setting the pace, Myers Jr was able to take over the race lead on the 24th lap, and went on to lead the final seven laps to score the victory.
“I am just super happy to get the Brodie Hayward No. 19 back in victory lane,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We have put together a great team, and we have been really good the last few weeks and I am happy we were able to keep it rolling.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Velocity Engineering, Installtec Inc., RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, FK Rod Ends, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Brad Alexander Suspension, Jim O’Neal Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Mallett Primed for Three-Day Weekend in Mississippi and Alabama
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (June 29, 2026) – Jordon Mallett is eager to tackle a USCS Series tripleheader this weekend.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains will head to Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss., on Thursday followed by back-to-back nights at Deep South Speedway in Loxley, Ala., on Friday and Saturday.
“My initial thought is we want to win all three,” he said. “I know that seems lofty, but if we can do our job and the cards fall our way it’s possible. We have a lot of speed and are running the way we envisioned we would. I think we can be a contender all three nights.”
Mallett enters the weekend riding a career-best eight-race top-five streak.
Thursday will mark his first visit to Magnolia Motor Speedway since the 2018 season, when he recorded results of sixth and ninth at the track.
“I wasn’t all that stellar there when we used to go, but I’m really looking forward to going back,” he said. “I haven’t been there in so many years, but I feel really confident in the program we are bringing.”
Mallett won twice and finished on the podium during three of his four races at Deep South Speedway in 2021.
“I feel really good because that track has treated me well the few times we’ve raced there,” he said. “I’ve won races there so that’s always a confidence booster when you return.”
SEASON STATS –
13 races, 0 wins, 9 top fives, 10 top 10s, 10 top 15s, 13 top 20s

Starks Earns Fifth 360 Triumph of Season at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (June 29, 2026) – Trey Starks continued his dominance in the 360ci winged sprint car division at Skagit Speedway last Saturday.
Starks qualified second quickest before he won a heat race from fourth.
“We went out late for qualifying and the track fell off a decent amount, but we were able to lay down a good enough lap,” he said. “In the heat race, I got a good start and the track was really slick. I was able to find some spots on the track that other cars weren’t running. I was able to get the lead on the second or third lap. That gave us a front row starting spot by winning a heat race as the fast qualifier in our heat, which is huge because you don’t have to worry about the feature redraw.”
The strong start to the night gave Starks the pole position for the main event and he capitalized to win his fifth race in seven starts at Skagit Speedway this season in the division.
“I knew my job would be to find a groove on the track that worked and keep the car straight,” he said. “The track was slick so I had to take care of the tires. We had a couple of restarts and didn’t have to deal with much traffic. I didn’t have to navigate through anything too heavy. I set my own pace and was on cruise control.
“I felt pretty good about the car speed and how we could maneuver. It was more information before the 360 Nationals at the end of July. We feel good going into that.”
Starks currently leads the 360 championship standings by 83 points.

Tonight, we were flawless from the start of the night to the end of the night.”

Reutzel makes big moves at Big Sky; Knoxville next
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 29, 2026) - High Limit Racing championship contender Aaron Reutzel made big moves in his recent Series start at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Montana, not only closing out his Friday night campaign with a top-ten outcome, but doing so from deep within the field - an eight-spot charge to be exact.
Reutzel, the ace of the Ridge & Sons Racing, Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, finished eighth in the aforementioned top-ten, and although title rival Rico Abreu earned the victory, “A-Aron’s” championship hopes are still well within reach, behind by a mere-29 markers.
The visit to Big Sky Speedway - dubbed the Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race - was intended to be two days, but Mother Nature had other plans forcing the cancellation of the $26,000-to-win finale.
“We were hoping for a better outcome on Saturday, but you can’t fight the weather,” Ryan Wyant, Ridge & Sons Racing Team Manager, explained. “We’ll head home and regroup before visiting Knoxville Raceway on Saturday. The plan is to enter the 360 sprint as well as 410 sprint portions of the program.”
ON DECK: Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with a visit to the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 4.

Madsen powers Vermeer Motorsports to a top-five at Big Sky; Select PA Sprint Speedweek starts ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (June 29, 2026) - Despite Mother Nature ruining all hope for the $26,000-to-win finale on Saturday, June 27, Friday’s Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race preliminary at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Montana, went on as planned, welcoming the “High Rollers” of High Limit Racing for their lone Montana start of the season.
Kerry Madsen, who is eighth in the High Limit Racing championship standings, made the most of his visit to “Big Sky Country,” concluding Friday’s 30-lap preliminary with a top-five result - his 15th of the 2026 season. The Australian finished fifth in the aforementioned top-five, powering ahead six positions from the inside of row six.
Although High Limit Racing will take a short break before resuming competition with a stop in the Buckeye State on July 13, Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will continue full steam ahead, setting aim on a series of Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek starts beginning Monday, June 29, at Lincoln Speedway - if all goes according to plan.

Park hard charges at Knoxville; Return visit set for July 4
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (June 29, 2026) - Overland Park, Kansas’ own Jace Park put up big numbers in his Saturday night visit to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, concluding competition with not only a top-five result - his third of the season at the Sprint Car Capital of the World - but doing so from deep within the running order.

Doney-Lawson Racing with big results at Lucas Oil Speedway; Knoxville Raceway to highlight coming weekend
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (June 29, 2026) - Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars put up big numbers in their Saturday night POWRi visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, and although Xavier Doney - the eldest of the two Doney sibling drivers within the stable - experienced some poor luck at the conclusion of the main event, the team’s overall outcomes were stat-worthy, ultimately padding their POWRi championship quest.
Doney-Lawson Racing, powered by Kat Excavation, Pella Building Systems-Mini Storage Specialists, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Five Star Bodies, Stanton Racing Engines, CALI Floors, Wilwood Disc Brakes, DMI, Schaeffer Oil, Outlaw Wings, Schoenfeld Headers, Smith Titanium, and Design Source Flooring, finished third and 12th in their invasion of Lucas Oil Speedway, the former achieved by Xavier Doney and the latter achieved by Natalie Doney. In fact, Xavier’s outcome commenced from the front row, leading 24 circuits of the 25-lap contest before a lack of fuel forced him to fade in the final turns.
As noted, Natalie Doney - Xavier’s younger sister and
teammate - finished 12th, but not without a fight, rallying 11 positions
from 23rd to do so. Her effort was enough to solidify the evening’s Hoosier
Racing Tire Hard Charger Award.
POWRi’s June-ending campaign was scheduled to include action at Lakeside
Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, June 26, but Mother Nature said
otherwise.
As it stands, Xavier Doney remains in charge of POWRi’s championship standings, holding a 70-point advantage over Ryder McCutcheon and Ayrton Gennetten.

Date: Friday, June 26th Series: High Limit Racing Event: Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race Track: Big Sky Speedway (Billings, Montana) Rico Abreu A-Main Finish (Start): 1st (4th) Saturday’s finale canceled
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (June 29, 2026) - For the fourth time in 2026, and for the 29th time in his career, St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu is a High Limit Racing main event winner, this time taking charge in Big Sky Speedway’s Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race Preliminary on Friday, June 26.
For Abreu, the reigning High Limit Racing national champion, the Billings, Montana, victory not only padded his 2026 stat sheet, now including 19 top-ten results, but in addition, padded his quest for a back-to-back Series title, currently in charge by 29 markers over Clute, Texas’ own Aaron Reutzel.

Unfortunately, Saturday’s Rayce Rudeen Foundational Race finale - scheduled to award a $26,000 top prize - was canceled due to weather.

Speedweek Schedule Set for Tyler Ross After Recent Ups and Downs in 2026
Lincoln University, PA – June 25, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross and Ross Racing will head into Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speedweek with momentum and a clear goal to turn consistent speed into strong results after a stretch of up-and-down nights. Despite a few recent challenges, Ross has maintained an impressive pace in 2026, recording 11 top-ten finishes in 17 410 sprint car races so far this season.
Ross has kept his momentum moving forward whenever the opportunity presented itself, including a standout rebound performance at Lincoln Speedway and a trip to victory lane in the 360 ranks.
The veteran driver battled through a tough outing at Lincoln Speedway on May 30th, where he elected to pull in and save his equipment after starting 19th in the A-main. He bounced back on June 13th at the same track, turning in a strong performance by advancing four spots in his heat race and climbing from 8th to 2nd in the A-main to secure a runner-up finish in the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service, Betts Garage Ross Racing No.5.
Success followed on June 17th at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, where Ross captured the United Racing Club (URC) 360 sprint car feature win aboard the McGough No. 669.
Most recently, at Lincoln Speedway on June 20th, Ross qualified 13th and finished 5th in his heat race. He started 13th in the A-main and was racing in 9th when a crash with three laps remaining ended his night. Tyler noted that he simply overdrove turn three and caught the cushion, a mistake he is eager to learn from as the team prepares for the upcoming schedule.
Ross Racing is now locked in for four consecutive nights of Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speedweek action. The team will compete at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, June 27th, followed by BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday, June 28th, a return to Lincoln Speedway on Monday, June 29th, and at Grandview Speedway on Tuesday, June 30th.
During Speedweek, Tyler will also race with the United Racing Club (URC) 360 sprint cars, piloting the McGough No. 669 at Port Royal Speedway on Wednesday, July 1st. Ross’s schedule beyond July 1st is still to be determined.
As Ross Racing heads into Speedweek, the focus remains on consistent execution—qualifying well, maintaining composure, and converting top-ten speed into podium finishes as the team enters the most demanding stretch of the season.
Fans should follow “Ross Racing 5” on Facebook for schedule
updates and news throughout Tyler’s season.

Great Lakes Super Sprints Ready for International Affairs Friday & Saturday in Ontario, CAN
Merrill, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are prepared for an international showdown this weekend as the best of the GLSS head to Ohsweken Speedway on Friday night and Buxton Speedway on Saturday night to take on Ontario, Canada’s best. The new American Racer tire for GLSS this season may be the variable needed to bring an end to the Canadian’s reign on their home soil.
The first GLSS events in Ontario came in 2024 with a Thursday and Friday doubleheader at Ohsweken Speedway. The races were co-sanctioned with the Southern Ontario Sprints and Ohsweken Speedway weekly divisions. Dylan Westbrook handled business both nights in Ohsweken before the Tour moved to Buxton Speedway on Saturday night. Darren Dryden started on the pole and held off challenges from Ryan Turner and DJ Christie for the win.
Last year, Dryden overcame a start violation on the opening green flag to go to Victory Lane for the second time with GLSS and his first career win at Ohsweken Speedway. The next night at Buxton Speedway, DJ Christie punched his ticket to the winner’s club with GLSS. The Ontario regulars have had their home turf locked down in recent years, but things could equalize as GLSS brings in a few weeks of familiarity on the new American Racers.
Coming into the weekend, the best finishes among GLSS regulars have been around fifth. Last year, 2018 Tour Champion, Dustin Daggett, finished fourth at Buxton Speedway a night after finishing sixth at Ohsweken. In 2024, Max Stambaugh carried the GLSS banner, finishing seventh and 11th at Ohsweken before finishing fifth at Buxton to close out the weekend. This year, to balance the Canadian’s familiarity with the tracks, the GLSS teams’ familiarity with the American Racer tire may level the playing field. Teams have had 10 races on the MC3 right-rear and the SD38 left rear.

Top Storylines Heading into the Tom Bigelow Showdown at Winchester Speedway
The yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour heads to Winchester Speedway for the second points paying race of the season. There is no shortage of storylines as the tour enters the Tom Bigelow Showdown presented by Neal Metal Recycling and Processing.
Tom Bigelow is more than a Racing Hero
In honor of the man they call the “Mouse”, the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour returns to the second home of racing legend, Tom Bigelow, for the second consecutive year. Playing a major role in the return of non wing pavement sprint cars to the high banks of Winchester Speedway, Bigelow was honored by the track and series with the naming of the yearly event. Since his retirement from racing, Bigelow and his wife, Judy, have resided in Winchester, Indiana and remained a prominent fixture in Midwest Short Track Racing. A multiple time inductee to various Hall of Fames, Bigelow has been the beating heart of pavement sprint car and pavement midget racing. He asked for non-wing sprint cars to return to Winchester, and he got it. Now, they are back for a second consecutive year.
Swanson is on Fire
Even after admitting he has started to slow down the driving side of his career while taking on the role of director of the USAC Silver Crown Series, Kody Swanson continues to perform at an elite level. In 2026, the veteran put together one of the most impressive seasons of his storied career. Swanson opened the year by dominating the Glen Niebel Classic at Anderson Speedway, leading every lap of the 500 Sprint Car Tour season opener. He then added another major victory by capturing the 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500, his fourth career triumph in the prestigious event.
Swanson's winning ways continued with a Race for the Million victory, proving he remains one of pavement sprint car racing's premier talents. While his responsibilities off the track continue to grow, the results on the track show that Kody Swanson is still setting the standard for excellence in 2026. He now returns to Winchester Speedway for the Tom Bigelow Showdown as the defending race winner, looking to add another prestigious victory to an already remarkable season.
Chase Cabre makes first 500 Sprint Car Tour Start with AP Driver Development
Chase Cabre will make his first non-wing sprint car start this weekend with the AP Driver Development program. While his experience in winged sprint cars has been limited, he has already shown flashes of strong pace in each opportunity. Cabre turned heads earlier this season by qualifying on the pole for the Race for the Million event at Owosso Speedway. He also impressed many in the Open Wheel Showdown last November, consistently running competitive laps against seasoned veterans. The transition to non-wing machinery marks a new challenge, but one he appears well-prepared for based on early results. All eyes will be on Cabre at Winchester Speedway to see how quickly he adapts to one of pavement racing’s toughest disciplines.
Armstrong bringing new car to Winchester Speedway
Dakoda Armstrong enters Winchester Speedway carrying plenty of momentum after a strong 2025 season. This weekend, Armstrong will debut a sprint car his team built during the offseason specifically for winged competition. Last year, Armstrong competed in the two half-mile events at Winchester and Salem driving the No. 7C owned by Randy Neal. He turned in an impressive performance, finishing third at Winchester before scoring a victory at Salem Speedway later in the season. That car driven by Justin Grant suffered heavy damage during the Little 500, prompting the team to focus its efforts on the new car for the Winchester event. With a proven record on Indiana's high-banked half miles, Armstrong will be among the favorites when the green flag drops on the Tom Bigelow Showdown.
Hamilton Jr. is back and looking for Redemption
Davey Hamilton Jr. returns to Winchester Speedway looking to put the disappointment of 2025 behind him. In last year’s event, Hamilton Jr. set the pace early by winning the pole and leading the first 18 laps of the race. His strong run came to an abrupt end when an oil leak forced him to retire from a dominant position. The early exit left him frustrated after showing winning speed on the high banks of Winchester. Now, he comes back with unfinished business and renewed focus for the Tom Bigelow Showdown. Hamilton Jr. will be making his second non-wing start after a strong runner-up finish at the Little 500, giving him added confidence heading into the weekend.
Byrdman back in the Saddle
Nathan Byrd, along with Myers Auto Research, will be making their season debut with the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour. Byrd, a co-owner in the series’ Entitlement Sponsor, will carry the yourBIGplans.com banner on his car for this event and the remainder of the 2026 season. Partnering with his twin brother, Noah, the Byrd Brothers launched the yourBIGplans.com to level the playing field, using data, strategy, and a fundamentally different approach to insurance benefits.
Nathan Byrd has been a fixture on the 500 Sprint Car Tour entry lists for the past two seasons. The Goodyear, Arizona native has made 16 starts with the 500 Sprint Car Tour, including a total of 15 starts since the start of the 2024 racing season. He has a best finish of 5th place twice in his 500 Sprint Car Tour career, coming in consecutive events in 2025. The first came at Winchester Speedway in the Inaugural Tom Bigelow Showdown. Byrd will be looking to replicate that pace as he returns to the track, and the series, for the first time in 2026.
Race Information
The 2nd Annual Neal Metal Recycling & Processing Tom Bigelow Showdown is set for Sunday, June 28th at Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Indiana. The event will feature the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour, Thunder Roadsters, and the HRA Late Model Sportsman. Pit gates will open at 8:00am, front gates will open at 10:00am, practice is scheduled for 10:15am, and racing is set to begin at 2:30pm. The event will be streamed live on Racing America, and pre-sale tickets for the event can be purchased online by clicking HERE.
Arenz earns Butler runner-up, preps to head south
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 24, 2026 – For the second time in 2026, Travis Arenz came home second in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition, just short of his first victory of the season at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Mich. on Saturday, June 20.
The doubleheader weekend in the state of Michigan fired off with the Travis Arenz Motorsport Team’s debut at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Mich. on Friday, June 19. Arenz opened the night by qualifying ninth in the 28-car field with a lap of 13.901 seconds around the 4/10-mile semi-banked dirt oval.
After placing third in the third heat race, Arenz finished third in IRA dash 1 to claim the fifth starting spot in the 25-lap main event. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver fell back to 10th on lap 18 before moving up to finish ninth when the checkered flag fell.
One night later, Arenz ventured to Butler Motor Speedway where he turned in the 10th fastest qualifying lap among the 34 cars on hand, negotiating the 3/8-mile high-banked dirt oval in 13.547 seconds.
After lining up second in the second heat race, the two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion earned his third heat race triumph of the 2026 campaign to qualify for his 10th IRA dash of the season.
Following a third-place showing in dash 1, Arenz rolled off fifth in the 30-lap A main. He advanced to third on lap 10 before moving to second behind eventual race winner Brock Hallett on lap 12.
The 18th-year competitor held over the final 18 laps to secure his second runner-up finish and third podium showing of the 2026 campaign.
“Our trip to Michigan was pretty good,” Arenz said. “I felt like I struggled at I-96 for the first few laps but then got it figured out decently. When racing at a track we don't see often, I watch other races and drivers a lot closer to see how track conditions change through the night.
“At Butler, I feel like if I would have gone to the high side sooner, we could have maybe been in the run for the lead,” he said. “During the last few laps, the car got very tight, which made it a touch harder. The points standings are extremely close right now, so being fast and consistent is crucial.”
Arenz is now set to head south with the IRA to Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill. on Friday, June 26 before making his first appearance at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Mo. on Saturday, June 27.
Both events will be streamed live on floracing.com.

Logan Wagner invaded from central Pa. to steal the thunder in Western PA Speedweek on May 30 taking the $5,500 victory over the 40-car field. Two weeks ago, Ohio Speedweek made a stop with Zeth Sabo also scoring his first career All Star Circuit of Champions victory worth $7,500 over the 49-car field. There have now been 178 different “410” winners in the history of Sharon. Will there be a third new winner this Saturday night!?

Brody Roa Scores Convincing Win in USAC/CRA Main Event at Perris Auto Speedway
Cypress, CA — June 23, 2026 — Despite making only his second sprint car start in seven months, Brody Roa delivered a runaway victory in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event at Perris Auto Speedway last Saturday night. The win came one month after Roa finished second in the 73rd Salute to Indy in his first sprint car race of 2026.
On Saturday, the 2023 USAC/CRA Series champion was impressive right out of the box. His lap of 17.081 was the fastest in the field during hot laps. In Woodland Auto Display Qualifying, his time of 16.984 made him one of only three drivers to qualify in the 16s on the night. And it was the second fastest time overall.
For his eight-lap heat race, the Garden Grove, California, driver started sixth and charged to a second-place finish. That performance placed him on the inside of the third row in the 30-lap main event.
Once the main began, Roa — aka “The Pride of Garden Grove” — immediately began slicing and dicing his way toward the front of the pack. By the end of lap eight, he had taken the lead and rim road his way from the field. His biggest challenge came soon afterward when he encountered lapped traffic.
Masterfully working his way through the lappers, Roa was nearly a full straightaway ahead of the second-place car when the Chris Fulton checkered flag brought the race to an end. He had lapped all the way through the seventh-place car.
“I know it was probably not much for the excitement factor, but I will take it any time,” Roa laughed about his runaway win. “There was quite a bit of lapped traffic. I only had one little bit of a hairy moment going into turn one. I got up to a lapper, and he had been running the bottom the whole time. He just kind of floated up on the entry into one to run the top. It got a little tight, but I was able to turn down and keep on trucking.”
“I love it when it is like that,” Roa commented on the track. “Slick to right on the wall. There really wasn’t much of a curb to lean on. It was kind of technical on the fence, so it was kind of easy to blow through it. I like that style, too. On the fence with it technical, hit your marks type stuff is what I really like. It kind of slows everything down, and you have to be precise with it rather than just be hammer down.”
“It was a pretty smooth night as far as the pits go. Just normal adjustments, no corrections. Changed a gear before the feature. That is a good problem to have. It could easily go the other way real quick. We are thankful for nights like that where we can just roll it in the trailer. It makes it nice between the races. You can do the standard maintenance, look everything over, put some fresh grease on what needs it, wipe down what needs it and check nuts and bolts and be ready for the next one.”
That next one will come when Roa returns to action with the USAC/CRA Series at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday, July 11.
The following marketing partners have backed Roa for the 2026 campaign. ALR Virtual Services, Biker Bruce, Caltrol, Innovative Sewer Scope and Plumbing, Big Chino Ranch, Molecule, Shaver Racing Engines, Barnes Pumps, and Specialized Coatings.

Chance Grasty Races into First Super Dirt Cup Feature
PETERSEN MEDIA- A grueling trip to the northwest for Chance Grasty and F&F Racing led them to the Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway, and amidst the star-studded field, Grasty raced his way into the Saturday night feature event in what was his first attempt at the storied race.
“First and foremost I need to thank the entire F&F Racing team as well as our partners for taking a chance on NARC Speedweek and getting up to Dirt Cup,” Chance Grasty said. “It was a really taxing 10 days, and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity.”
Getting his first Super Dirt Cup kicked off on Thursday night, Grasty took to Skagit Speedway quickly as he timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in 10th fastest in his qualifying flight.
Finishing fifth in heat race competition, Grasty didn’t quite have enough points to lock into the feature, but he did start up front in the night’s ‘B’ Main as he took the green flag from third.
Needing to keep his mount inside the top-four to advance into the opening night feature, the Suisun City, CA driver did just that as a second-place finish placed him in the 11th row for the 30-lapper.
On a racy Skagit Speedway surface, Grasty was able to move forward and acquire valuable event points. When the checkered flew on night one, he came home with a 17th place finish.
Back in action on Friday night, Grasty again laid down a very good lap in qualifying time trials as he again was 10thfastest in his group.
Finishing fourth in his heat on this night, Grasty avoided the ‘B’ and moved straight into the ‘A’ where he lined up 19th. When the feature event went green, Grasty was able to make some serious headway as he worked his way forward in a hurry using the low groove to perfection.
Racing his way all the way up to fifth in the closing laps, a green-white-checkered restart saw him lose a couple of positions as he fell back to finish seventh.
Finding himself 12th in event points heading into Saturday night’s finale, Grasty picked up a third-place finish in his qualifier and locked into his first Super Dirt Cup feature event.
Lining up 16th in the feature, Grasty felt like he had a good car early, but just simply couldn’t get moving forward during the 40-lapper. Holding down his spot in 16th, Grasty tried to make a run, but in the end, he closed Super Dirt Cup out with a 16th place finish.
“We had a really good trip to Skagit for the Super Dirt Cup, it was just a bit of a bummer with how our final night went,” Grasty added. “Still, very happy to make the show against some really tough competition, and looking forward to doing it again.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty are TBD on their next event.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-23, Wins-1, Top 5’s-3, Top 10’s-13

Fan Appreciation Night brings $5 tickets to Placerville Speedway Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Throughout the years Placerville Speedway has been known for having some of the most loyal fans in Northern California. As a special thank you to our dedicated patrons, grandstand tickets will be just $5 during the annual Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night this Saturday June 27th.
Divisions ready to thrill the crowd on Fan Appreciation Night include the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.
This Saturday is also the makeup race for Big Trophy Night that rained out in April. All four main event winners this weekend go home with the perpetual six-foot tall trophies as is tradition on Big Trophy Night.
Hirst Home Team presents Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour and Live Music prior to the races until 6pm. A magician and face painter will also be on hand to greet fans before the action kicks off.
Make sure to arrive with your appetite and enjoy some of the highest rated racetrack cuisine at the Speedway Café, including our “Recession Special” $6 Kings Meats Cheeseburgers.
“Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night is an event we look forward to each season,” said track Promoter Scott Russell. “With grandstand tickets just $5 we encourage everyone to bring a friend and if you can, please introduce someone new to the races on Saturday as well. The Thompson’s Family of Dealerships have been long-time partners with not only the track, but it even goes back to 2001 when I first started running Sprint Cars. We can’t thank them enough for their continued support.”
Championship Chase Heats Up:
The familiar red clay was silent from the roar of race cars around the oval last week due to the annual break for the El Dorado County Fair. This Saturday, however, launches four consecutive weeks of racing as things begin to ramp up at Placerville Speedway.
Battles in the Berco Building Materials/ Hoosier Tire/ Coors Light championship chase stand close entering the busiest stretch of the campaign. Only 15 points separate Justyn Cox, Jake Morgan and Andy Forsberg at the top of the Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car standings.
Cox has accumulated top five finishes in four of the five events held, including a win on May 9th. Last time out Morgan made a final corner pass of him though to record his first Winged Sprint Car triumph. Forsberg leads the way with two wins but suffered a DNF at the most recent show.
Defending Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model champion Rod Oliver of Yuba City holds a 19-point lead over Paul Gugliomoni heading into Saturday. The evening will be part of the Xtreme Ltd. Late Model Series slate.
Seven-time track champion Nick Baldwin has scooped up four Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock wins this season and leads Wayne Trimble by 31-markers atop the standings going into Fan Appreciation Night.
With the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks, it’s young Noah LaPoint who holds a slim seven-point advantage over Brian Tremblay at the top of the hill.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night will be General Admission this Saturday June 27th, apart from the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.

Landon Brooks Charges to 10th at Super Dirt Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA: A grueling 10 days for Hamilton Racing led them to Skagit Speedway over the weekend for the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. When the dust settled on the famed event on Saturday night, Landon Brooks capped off a great run to 10th after taking the green flag from 19th.
“I continued to not qualify well during the Super Dirt Cup and it really put us in a tough spot all week,” Landon Brooks said. “Luckily, my guys continued to get our car better each time we hit the track to race and it gave us a fighting chance to race into the Saturday night feature and we were able to do just that and have good run from 19th.”
Timing in 15th and 18th during the Thursday and Friday night prelims, Brooks finished 19th in the Thursday night ‘A’, then missed the Friday night ‘A’.
Sitting 23rd in Super Dirt Cup points heading into Saturday night’s finale, Brooks lined up fifth in his qualifier with four transfer berths into the feature event up for grabs.
As his qualifier came to life, Brooks was able to nail his start as he powered into the fourth and final transfer spot aboard the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L entry. Holding the position, Brooks was secure into the Super Dirt Cup feature where he lined up in the 19th starting position.
During an opening 12 lap green flag run to start the race, Brooks was able to make quite a few moves as he ran in 13thwhen the red flag flew. With track officials opting to open the red up to crews to make adjustments and add fuel, the Hamilton Racing crew went to work to see if they could get their car even better, and Brooks was able to continue to work his way forward when the race resumed.
Working his way into 12th on the 15th lap, Brooks was up into 11th when the cross flags were displayed at the halfway point. On the 26th lap, Brooks took over the 10th position as he began to chase after Justin Sanders who ran just ahead of him.
For the final 13 laps of the race, Brooks looked for a way to move forward, but as the checkered flag flew, he capped the event off with a 10th place finish.
“I am just really thankful to have such a solid team behind me,” Brooks said. “Once we got into the Saturday night feature and got racing, our car was awesome and I am glad I was able to reward them all with a good run.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Paul Nienhiser 2nd with IRA at I-96
PETERSEN MEDIA: Back in action for a pair of IRA events over the weekend, Paul Nienhiser recorded a 2nd place finish on Friday night at I-96 Speedway before running sixth on Saturday at Butler Speedway.
“Overall, it was a really good points weekend for us as he closed the gap on the point lead by 80,” Paul Nienhiser said. “We had good speed each night, and we will keep plugging away and trying to record good finishes.”
Friday night, Nienhiser and his team checked in at I-96 Speedway where the Chapin, IL driver timed the AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance backed No. 9x entry in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Nienhiser flexed his muscle as he charged to the race lead, and ultimately picked up the win to punch his ticket into both the feature event as well as Dash No. 2.
Advancing from fifth to second in the Dash, Nienhiser took the green flag from the second row for the 25-lap feature event. Working his way into third on the fifth lap, Nienhiser settled in as he clicked off laps holding down the final spot on the podium.
With two-to-go, Nienhiser was able to make another move that netted him second in the running order which is where he went on to finish and cap his night off in Lake Odessa, MI.
Saturday night the scene shifted to Butler Speedway where Nienhiser got off to a great start and earned fast time honors in qualifications.
Going from fourth to second in his heat race, Nienhiser moved into the Dash where his second-place finish put him in the second row of the feature event.
When the feature came to life, Nienhiser knew that he and his team missed it on their set up as he slipped back to sixth in the early goings of the race. Able to adapt and maintain, Nienhiser kept his mount well inside the Top-10 as he closed the weekend out with a sixth-place finish.
“Friday night I just feel like I ran a bad race, but we still were able to finish second,” Nienhiser said. “Saturday night we just got to tinkering a little too much on our car and I didn’t feel great in the main. Still, with that being said we still had a very strong weekend results wise and put ourselves right back in the Championship battle.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros.

Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-15, Wins-6, Top 5’s-8, Top 10’s-8

Colby Copeland Comes Up Just Short of Super Dirt Cup Feature
PETERSEN MEDIA- Making the trip to Skagit Speedway with the C&M Motorsports team to take part in the Super Dirt Cup, Colby Copeland made a valiant effort in the Saturday night ‘B’, and just narrowly missed out on the final transfer position into the famed race’s feature event.
“Super Dirt Cup was a little frustrating for all of us,” Colby Copeland said. “Thankfully the C&M Motorsports guys kept working hard and we almost raced our way into the finale on Saturday night, but came up just one spot short.”
Running 410ci events with Tarlton Motorsports, Super Dirt Cup saw Copeland and C&M Motorsports make their 410ci debut together. The first two nights of the race saw them struggle to get their footing as they finished 14th and 17th in the Last Chance Showdown each night.
Sitting 39th in event points, Copeland rolled off in the ninth starting position of his heat race needing to finish at least eighth to make the “B” or inside the top-four to transfer into the ‘A’.
When the green flag flew Copeland was shot out of a cannon and was up into fifth as the field exited the second turn only to see the yellow flag flying and negating his progress.
The second start didn’t go as well for the Roseville, CA driver but he did avoid the ‘C’ Main by finishing eighth which placed him in the 15th starting spot in the ‘B’.
After a couple of tangles hindered the start of the ‘B’, Copeland had really good start to the semi, as he was up into ninth on the second lap, and then into eighth by the fourth lap.
Moving into the seventh position just before the race’s halfway point, Copeland continued to search around the speedway to find a way around Tyler Thompson who was in the sixth and final transfer spot.
Taking a couple shots at Thompson in the race’s final laps, Copeland was unable to break into the feature, as his trip concluded just one spot out of the Super Dirt Cup feature event.
“We definitely got better as the weekend moved on, and I think that we learned, and figured some stuff out that will help us have a better starting point the next time we get up to Skagit Speedway,” Copeland added. “I really want to thank Cody, Bobby, and John for their hard work, and all of our partners that made this possible.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports is TBD on their next event at this time.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-15, Wins-1, Top 5’s-5, Top 10’s-7

Starks Fights Bad Luck Throughout Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (June 22, 2026) – Trey Starks endured multiple bouts of misfortune last weekend during the 54th annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway.
“We had something go amiss each day,” he said. “I felt we did a good job of digging our way out of the hole as best as we could just to get hit with another event that set us back.”
Starks qualified fourth quickest in his group to kick off the first preliminary night last Thursday. Unfortunately, a DNF in a heat race due to an ignition failure relegated him to the B Main. Starks finished fourth to secure the final transfer position into the main event. He closed the night by hustling from 24th to 13th – tied for the most positions gained.
“We had to dig ourselves out of the B Main,” he said. “We worked and fought our way to 13th. We had a really good car, but it’s really difficult coming through the field. I felt we did a good job of getting as many points as we could given the circumstances.”
Starks set quick time in his qualifying group on Friday and he gained a position in a heat race to finish fifth. With a 16-car inversion, he lined up on the outside of the seventh row in the main event. Starks climbed into the top 10 before a mechanical failure ended his night early.
“We went into the feature tied for high points on the night,” he said. “We had an engine issue with about eight laps to go. It was another night that looked promising as a good points night before another DNF put us back in a hole.”
On Saturday, Starks advanced a position during a heat race to garner the ninth starting position in the main event.
“All things considered, we were still in a position to set ourselves up well for the feature,” he said. “We ran third in Saturday’s heat race for a while and had a caution halfway. I made an aggressive move on a restart to get around Rico (Abreu) and that advanced us two rows in starting positions. After everything that happened, we weren’t looking too bad starting ninth.”
Unfortunately, Starks was caught up in an early multiple-car incident on the frontstretch that damaged his race car. He restarted the race, but eventually pulled with a 21st-place result.
“Someone had an issue a couple of cars ahead and then the car in front of me got into that car,” he said. “I turned right to avoid and so did another car so we made contact. Another car ran into us from behind, giving us damage that we just couldn’t overcome. I ran a few laps, but once I went a lap down I pulled into the infield.”
Starks is scheduled to return to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for a 360ci winged sprint car event. He currently leads the championship standings by 66 points.

Dover Tackling Three-Race MSTS Weekend in South Dakota
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (June 22, 2026) – Jack Dover is heading to a Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series tripleheader in South Dakota this weekend.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor will race on Friday at Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen, on Saturday at Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron and on Sunday at Casino Speedway in Watertown.
“I’m excited for a three-day weekend,” he said. “We’ve lost a lot of races this season because of rainouts so hopefully the weather cooperates. We have high hopes for the weekend.”
Dover produced a runner-up result during his debut at Brown County Speedway last year.
“We had a car capable of winning there last year and it just didn’t work out in traffic,” he said. “We were right there with Tim Kaeding throughout the race and got in front of him at one point, but a lapped car was right in front entering a corner so I had to back out of it. Tim ran a good race and we didn’t get another opportunity.”
Dove last competed at Dakota State Fair Speedway in 2008. Sunday’s event at Casino Speedway will mark his first race at the dirt oval.
This weekend will be the first Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series races of the season after the previous three scheduled shows all rained out. Dover enters as the defending Series champion.

Mallett Charges to Podium at Crowley’s Ridge and Top Five at Riverside
Inside Line Promotions – WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (June 22, 2026) – Jordon Mallett matched his career-best run of eight straight top-five finishes thanks to a pair of top fives last weekend with the ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains advanced from eighth to second place on Friday at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway in Paragould, Ark., and from 11th to fifth place on Saturday at Riverside International Speedway.
“I feel like the weekend went fairly good,” Mallett said. “We had to pass a lot of race cars, which makes the night longer trying to get in position. But it shows how good of a car we had all weekend.”
Mallett won a heat race to open the action at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway, where he lined up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event.
“We were in the right spots at the right time,” he said. “We had a pretty good race car and were better in some areas than others. We rode it out and it worked out to get to second. We needed traffic to make it a little more interesting to challenge for the win. The track was pretty top dominant so we would have needed more traffic to force people to move around.”
The runner-up result tied Mallett’s best outing of the season.
The team wrapped up the weekend on Saturday during what turned out to be a jumbled night at Riverside International Speedway, which hosted the Greg Hodnett Memorial.
“They wanted to do qualifying with it being a bigger show,” Mallett said. “We were quick time overall, but they came back before the heats and said it would only line up the heats. So they just inverted the fast qualifiers and lined us up fourth in the heat, which they went off passing points.”
Mallett advanced from fourth to third place in the heat race, which lined him up on the inside of the sixth row in the feature.
“We drove through the field pretty good,” he said. “We suffered a little nose wing damage and that halted our charge. We had a really, really good race car and we felt our team did our job. It was frustrating with the way they changed the format after qualifying as we were fastest and got penalized for that. But, all in all, it was a good night with a fast race car. We just wish they had picked a format and stuck to it.”
Mallett will take this weekend off before racing July 2 at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss.; and July 3-4 at Deep South Speedway in Loxley, Ala., with the USCS Series.
QUICK RESULTS –
June 19 – Crowley’s Ridge Raceway in Paragould, Ark. – Heat race: 1 (1); Feature: 2 (8).
June 20 – Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. – Heat race: 3 (4); Feature: 5 (11).

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Bank Largest Payday in World of Outlaws History by Winning BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (June 22, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel reached new heights last Weekend when he captured the 5th annual BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals at Huset’s Speedway.
The $300,000-to-win crown jewel provided the biggest payday in World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series history and it was Gravel’s fifth career six-figure payday, which is tied for second most in the storied history of the sport.
“Being a two-time High Bank Nationals champ is cool with the event only being around five years,” he said. “What a way to boost us to the top of the earnings list and we have a lot of fun stuff coming up (this summer). We have an opportunity to do some awesome things. There’s a lot of tracks we like coming up so we have a lot to look forward to.”
The week at Huset’s Speedway was a work in progress for Gravel, who improved his feature result each night during the four-day spectacle. He rebounded from a crash last Wednesday to place 13th in the feature before maneuvering from 10th to sixth place on Thursday during the $150,000-to-win Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle.
“The first night, not that anything went severally wrong, but we didn’t qualify the best,” he said. “Going four to two in the heat race was good. We were in a three-way tie for fourth in points, which fourth gets you in the feature redraw. But we lost the tiebreaker so we started 12th. If we qualified one spot better and went fourth to second in the heat race we were in the redraw and potentially starting up front. In the feature, there was a pileup in front of me. I had nowhere to go, got into the back of Donny Schatz and spun around. We fought and clawed to get back toward where we started, which I thought was pretty good.
“On Thursday, I got over the cushion and fell to fourth in the heat race. We got back to second, which was a good rebound. We started 10th in the feature and ran sixth. I felt good there.
“Then on Friday, we were hitting on all cylinders, going quick time and we were able to gain one spot in the heat race to secure a spot in the feature redraw. We pulled the No. 8 and came back with a respectable finish to be third in points.”
Gravel’s fourth-place finish in Friday’s BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals preliminary night placed him on the pole of a heat race on Saturday. Starting next to him was two-time defending event champion Michael “Buddy” Kofoid, who had recently set a World of Outlaws record with five straight feature wins at Huset’s Speedway.
“That was a stressful 12 hours,” Gravel said. “It was awesome to get the job done in the heat race and get us in the King of the Hill by winning. We shine in qualifying so we were able to take advantage to get on the pole for the feature.”
Gravel won the Unique Movers King of the Hill to garner the pole position for Saturday’s 40-lap main event.
“I was really good around the bottom the first 20 laps,” he said. “Once the first caution came out, the track changed and I moved to the top in a hurry. I made a couple of right moves to get to the top without getting passed. I didn’t feel that great on the top, but on that open red Cody (Jacobs) worked on it some and we were better.”
Gravel led all 40 laps for the big win.
“I’ve got to thank Tod Quiring,” he said. “He puts so much money into this sport. What a night.”
The week was only show-up points for the World of Outlaws so Gravel continues to lead the championship standings by 82 points.
Next up is the Federated Auto Parts Independence Spectacular this Friday and Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis.

Doney-Lawson Racing eager to continue POWRi campaign at Lakeside and Lucas Oil
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (June 22, 2026) - Despite a tough weekend in Indiana and Illinois that saw the team miss the top-ten, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars are eager to get back to work, hoping to reverse their tough luck in upcoming POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League visits to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Friday and Saturday, June 26-27.
Doney-Lawson Racing, powered by Kat Excavation, Pella Building Systems-Mini Storage Specialists, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Five Star Bodies, Stanton Racing Engines, CALI Floors, Wilwood Disc Brakes, DMI, Schaeffer Oil, Outlaw Wings, Schoenfeld Headers, Smith Titanium, and Design Source Flooring, will chase $5,000 in each of the aforementioned stops, working to not only add to their win column, but simultaneously extend their championship advantage. In fact, Xavier Doney, the eldest of the Doney siblings who pilot for DLR, is on top of the POWRi standings, and Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister, is currently 11th.
As noted, DLR dug up some tough luck in their recent POWRi trip through Indiana and Illinois, the worst experienced on Saturday at Spoon River Speedway in Lewistown, Illinois. Xavier Doney, who started from the pole after achieving the evening’s highest point total, was elbow-to-elbow for the lead, that until contact while navigating traffic led to the hook and an eventual score of 21st-place. Despite the fact, Natalie Doney managed to put together a sound effort in her POWRi pair, finishing 16th at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Indiana, and 13th at Spoon River.

THE TASTE OF VICTORY: Andrews and Real American Beer victorious at Waynesfield; Attica and Mansfield on coming agenda
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (June 22, 2026) - Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions was an up and down effort for Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing, but all it takes is one, and one is what Andrews achieved, besting the field at Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield, Ohio, on Thursday, June 18.
Andrews, powered by Real American Beer, Ohio Truck Sales, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, and TruckParts4U.com, secured his Ohio Sprint Speedweek | All Star victory with a last lap, last corner takeover, out-sprinting Bryce Lucius to the flagstand. The effort, earning the Sandusky wheelman a $7,500 payday, resulted in Andrews’ first victory of the season, simultaneously boosting his All Star win total to two - his first since 2013. The former two-time Attica Raceway Park track champion led the first 16 laps before surrendering the lead; the rest is history.
“We needed that one…this team deserved that one,” Andrews was quick to note. “We led early, and I knew we had a car that could win, it was just up to me to capitalize. That last lap, all I could think was ‘I need to go’ and that’s what I did. So happy for our friends at Real American Beer. To park them in All Star victory lane is pretty special. We’ll work to do it again soon.”

Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports eye $26,000 at Big Sky Speedway
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (June 22, 2026) - Despite recently concluding four days at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, “The Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports are already eager to get back to work, set to resume High Limit Racing competition with the two-day Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Montana, on June 26-27. Madsen, a recent High Limit winner, will chase $26,000 in his trip to the Treasure State, simultaneously working to add to his High Limit championship point total - he is currently seventh.
As noted, Madsen, powered by TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, and Logan Contractors, will enter Big Sky fresh off of a four-day stretch at Huset’s, concluding the High Bank Nationals blockbuster with a 15th-place score in the $300,000-to-win finale. The result was Madsen’s best of the week, overcoming bad luck and tough outings in his three prior evenings.
“To be a part of a massive event like the High Bank Nationals is pretty special. We had some tough luck and rough starts, but to wrap things up like we did, even if it’s not the result we wanted, says a lot about our team,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, stated. “We have a few days to get things reworked. We’ll do what we can to earn that $26,000 at Big Sky.”

Reutzel eighth in Dirt Cup finale; Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race next on High Limit agenda
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 22, 2026) - Despite a pause in their High Limit Racing commitments, “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) kept up to speed, joining NARC King of the West for the three-day Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington, on June 18-20.
Reutzel, who is currently second in the High Limit Racing national championship standings, highlighted his trip to the Pacific Northwest with a top-ten in the weekend finale, finishing eighth, officially, in the $100,026-to-win Dirt Cup 40-lapper. The eventual top-ten was Reutzel’s 26th of 2026, 20 of which within the top-five including ten victories.
Speaking of High Limit, Series competition will resume in less than a week, set to invade the picturesque Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Montana, on Friday and Saturday, June 26-27. Dubbed the Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race, the two-day affair will not only cap High Limit’s busy June slate, but in addition, award a $26,000 share.
“It was a great trip to Washington. Thrilled to support an event like the Super Dirt Cup,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, stated. “Concluding our three days with a top-ten was special, but we wanted more. We’ll take these next few days to regroup before we chase $26,000 beginning Friday.”

“Blackjack” to conclude June schedule with Lakeside and Knoxville visits
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (June 22, 2026) - Despite an ultra-competitive four days in South Dakota, highlighting Huset’s Speedway’s High Bank Nationals with a 14th-place score on Friday, June 19, “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing are eager to get back to work, set to conclude their June campaign with weekend visits to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on June 26-27, respectively. Adding to the weekend’s hype, Friday’s program at Lakeside will feature the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League.
Brown, powered by Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, and NEFT Vodka, will roll into Lakeside Speedway with ten top-tens to his credit, still hunting for his first triumph of the season.
“Overall, a decent stretch at Huset’s Speedway. Things started off slow, but we kept working and working and slowly made improvements. A tough field of cars, but an awesome event and we were excited to be a part of it. Looking forward to seeing it grow,” Brown noted. “This week, we’ll be back at Lakeside with POWRi on Friday, then back to Knoxville on Saturday. All the boys are working hard. The goal is to get this Casey’s | FVP car a little bit better and contend for a pair of wins.”
Blackjack would eventually conclude Huset’s High Bank Nationals with a 20th-place finish in the $300,000-to-win finale on Saturday, June 20; he was third in his heat to qualify.
Nearly 50 of the nation’s finest were in attendance.

AFTERNOON DOWNPOURS WASH OUT JUNE 20 “STEEL VALLEY THUNDER” PROGRAM AT SHARON
By Mike Leone June 20, 2026
(Hartford, OH)...Several rounds of heavy afternoon thunderstorms along with additional rain on the way, washed out the “Steel Valley Thunder” racing program scheduled for Saturday night at Sharon Speedway. After Mother Nature gave Sharon Speedway a reprieve the last three weeks, Saturday’s rain proved too much forcing the sixth cancellation of the 97th anniversary season.
Coming next Saturday (June 27) will be a "Super Series" event presented by Bala Management featuring the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars, Hovis Big-Block Modifieds, Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods, and the Gibson Insurance Agency Econo Mods. It's Gold Rush Night presented by Willy's World along with the rescheduled CDL & Touch-A-Truck Night presented by Ohio Intra Express and P.I.&I. Motor Express. It's Gault Heating & Cooling, Kams Electric & Novus Home Mortgage Night. Group qualifying for the Sprints will get underway at approximately 6:30 p.m. with heat races at 7.
Sharon Speedway is owned by Dave Blaney, Ryan Blaney, and Will Thomas III and is a 3/8-mile dirt track located on Custer-Orangeville Road in Hartford, Ohio near the intersection of Routes 7 & 305.

New Horizons: Hartlaub Joins Forces with O’Brien and Wagaman to Launch JTK Motorsports
East Berlin, PA – June 19, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Kody Hartlaub, Jimmy O’Brien, and Timmy Wagaman will establish a new 410 sprint car team—JTK Motorsports—beginning immediately.
The new team will be spearheaded by a co-owner group built around relationships, chemistry, and a shared commitment to the fundamentals—while keeping Hartlaub focused on the one thing that matters most: driving. Jimmy O’Brien (J Fuels) and Timmy Wagaman (Freedom Offroad) will anchor the team.
“This whole situation has shown me just how fortunate I am to have such great people around me,” Hartlaub said. “When everything changed, it wasn’t, ‘That sucks, let’s find you a ride.’ Instead, Jimmy O’Brien and Timmy Wagaman immediately said, ‘Let’s build something better.’”
“The funny thing is, Jimmy and Timmy had never even met each other before,” Hartlaub continued. “We got together for what was supposed to be a quick meeting, and within minutes it was obvious that everyone was in this for the right reasons. What was planned as a short discussion turned into a couple of hours of ideas, laughs, and excitement. We have our team in place, with Stephen Hamm-Reilly and Justin Reese turning the wrenches. I’m excited about what we can build together.”
Hartlaub noted that his partners and sponsors have chosen to stay committed to the effort. “I think it says a lot that my sponsors chose to stay with me as well. Their loyalty and belief in what we’re doing means more than I can put into words.”
He added, “There will be challenges along the way, but this team is made up of people who believe in pushing forward, working hard, and finding a way to succeed. That’s the foundation we’re building on, and I’m excited to see where it takes us.”
O’Brien and Wagaman will serve as co-owners, providing the equipment and program support needed to keep the operation moving and ready for race-day performance.
“Team ownership wasn’t originally a plan, but when Kody’s deal fell apart, I said we will never be in this situation again—this is an opportunity,” O’Brien said. “Kody really wants to race with Steven and Justin. I love Kody and his family, and I wanted to continue building what we started and have fun racing.”
Wagaman said the goal is to create the right environment for Hartlaub to keep progressing. “We want to give Kody the opportunity to clear his head and drive,” Wagaman said. “We have cars, a mule, parts, and good quality stuff—this group of people complements each other and brings different things to the table, all while having the same mindset. I have no time for drama—we want to build something together and have fun doing it.”
JTK Motorsports will be built around long-term chemistry between the driver, co-owners, and the crew team—while continuing to prioritize race readiness and performance each time Hartlaub steps into the cockpit.
The team will compete in the Steve Smith Sr. Tribute race with Hartlaub. Additional events will be announced if circumstances allow, but the team is not currently planning on any other 2026 outings. The primary focus is on preparing for the 2027 season.
Crew Chief Stephen Hamm-Reilly and Car Chief Justin Reese will remain with Hartlaub as part of the new JTK Motorsports operation. Hamm-Reilly and Reese will focus on building, maintaining, and preparing a fast race car each time Hartlaub climbs behind the wheel.
From 2015-2025, Hamm-Reilly raced for a living, mostly on the road and sometimes back home in Pennsylvania, before pairing with Kody Hartlaub in September 2025. Hamm-Reilly and Justin Reese have known each other for a long time and are good friends, adding to the natural chemistry of the team.
“Hartlaub’s qualifying abilities are impressive given the limited number of 410 sprint car races he has under his belt,” Hamm-Reilly said. “For his level of experience, he’s ahead of some in certain phases of the sport, while he needs to polish some of the nuances in other phases. We set goals as a team because producing more top-10 finishes leads to more top-five finishes, more podium finishes, and eventually wins. The mental part of the game is important for every team member, and this group is in a great position collectively. Jimmy, Timmy, the sponsors, and everyone believe in each other and feel there’s a confidence and chemistry that can be capitalized on.”
The design and car number for JTK Motorsports will be announced when finalized.

CRSA HEADS BACK TO FULTON SPEEDWAY FOR I-90 PIT STOP CHALLENGE
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – June 17, 2026
After last year’s inaugural show featuring a late-race pass left fans craving more, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints are set to return to Fulton Speedway on June 20. This event will serve as round two of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
It’s the second time the series races at the high banks of Fulton. Last year, Zach Sobotka made a late-race pass on Bobby Parrow to score the victory. He became the first back-to-back winner since 2023.
Here’s a look at the top stories entering the weekend.
Last Time Out: CRSA hosted its first doubleheader of the season at Ransomville Speedway and Land of Legends Raceway to kick off the DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants Challenge.
On June 5 at “The Big R,” Spencer Burley passed for the win with 11 laps left. He claimed his second career CRSA victory. His father, Todd, won four 358 Modified championships on this track in the 2000s.
“This feels good,” Burley said. “I grew up watching him race here and we know a lot of old sponsors here, just family and friends. It’s nice to be able to get it done in front of all of them.”
On June 6 in Canandaigua, Zach Sobotka started on pole, lost the lead to Darryl Ruggles early, reclaimed the top spot on lap seven, and secured his first CRSA season victory by pulling away from the field.
“Darryl showed me the line for the rest of the race,” said Sobotka. “He was running the top and I was trying not to get any of his air and just diamond off and take the bottom.”
Point Standings: Through four races this season, Tyler Graves leads the overall points. He expanded his margin to 23 over Nick Webb last race.
Dalton Herrick, involved in a caution Saturday, is now 37 points back but remains third.
A strong weekend keeps Paul Colagiovanni Sr. fourth in points, 51 behind the leader.
Timmy Lotz sits fifth, 84 points out.
Rest of the top 12: Maverick Coffey sixth (-99), Zach Sobotka seventh (-121), Jeff Trombley eighth (-144), Dillon Paddock ninth (-145), Jerry Sehn Jr. 10th (-171), Tomy Moreau 11th (-173), Johnny Scarborough 12th (-184).
In the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, Trombley and Herrick are tied for the lead. Moreau, Dave Axton, and Lotz are all within 10 points after strong Fonda runs three weeks ago.
New Contenders: Due to shifts in driver participation, several new drivers have emerged near the top of the standings—a place they had not occupied before now.
Tyler Graves leads the points standings this season, showing impressive consistency with his worst finish at sixth place and a best finish of fifth at Ransomville. These results signal Graves as a strong contender pursuing his first CRSA victory.
Nick Webb is in his first 305 season and has finished in the top 10 in all four of his starts. He transitioned from crate sprints at Can-Am Speedway, where he earned a win at “The Nasty Track of the North.” Last year, Webb attempted to qualify for his first CRSA show at Fulton but did not make the feature.
Paul Colagiovanni Sr. is enjoying his best points position yet, currently running fourth. After a tough start, he posted consecutive top-10 finishes last week. His son, Paulie, has been a feature winner and consistent front-runner in 360 sprint cars and has occasionally competed in a 410. Paulie also helps as a crew member and driver.
Sixth in points is Maverick Coffey in the No. 31C Chris Graves Racing ride. It is Coffey's first 305 season. He has a background in 600 Microsprints and was a Limerock Speedway champion in 2024. Through four races in a 305, his best finish is 12th at Fonda this season.
Last Year: CRSA made its first trip to Fulton Speedway in 2025 and the fans went wild at the end.
Bobby Parrow was the dominant car, but Zach Sobotka made a pass off turn two during a restart with three to go to steal the win. He became the latest back-to-back winner since Jordan Hutton in 2023.
Once Sobotka made the pass, Spencer Burley had a chance to steal second from Parrow in the end but finished third, his best finish at the time.
At the Weekly Track: Even while Utica-Rome Speedway didn’t run last Sunday, CRSA-sanctioned 305 Sprints did run at Land of Legends Raceway last Saturday.
An incredible milestone was hit as Darryl Ruggles scored track win No. 50 in a 305 Sprint Car.
Ruggles drove daughter Alysha Bay’s No. 48A and led the opening laps. Adam DePuy challenged after seven laps and ran side by side, but Ruggles stayed on top and held on for the win at Canandaigua.
“We’ve just had terrible luck [with motors,]” said Ruggles. “Put ‘old smokey’ in the car last night and it had problems. Mike [Mastin, engine builder] said get it out here this morning and we’ll try to fix it. We got it on the dyno around 11 a.m., ran three to four sessions and Mike said go put it in the car and win a race!”
DePuy was second and John Smith finished third.
Back for Seconds: Mikey Smith has had an incredible start to 2026 in 305 Sprint Car racing as a whole.
To start the season, “The Music Man” won the season opener at Outlaw Speedway in early May, leading all 25 laps for his second career CRSA victory.
But last week, Smith had what could be the biggest win of his sprint car career.
Last Saturday at Bridgeport, Mikey took a $4012 victory in the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series show. He also recorded a one-two finish with older brother Johnny, a night the Smith Brothers Racing family team won’t forget.
Mikey plans to run this Saturday with a lot of momentum on his side, which could transition to CRSA.
The Show Stopper Due Up?: Dillon Paddock has been in a new ride early in the season, running Jay Greenfield’s No. 27G while using his own 305 engine.
Through three features, Paddock has two top-five finishes, with his best finish second last week at Land of Legends.
No question, Paddock will be a winner in 2026 and could come as soon as Saturday. Fulton is a track he has run three times, all last year, with a best finish of eighth in CRSA competition.
By The Numbers: 34 entries showed up last year with the No. 38 of Sobotka winning at the end. It seems likely the series could see a car count in the 30s again this weekend.
From the Frontman: “Mother Nature bummed us out last week and we’re hoping it’s not the case again this weekend! We’re excited to return to an incredible track in front of an awesome crowd! It’s going to be a great show Saturday!” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA takes the final weekend of June off before returning to Land of Legends Raceway July 2 for the third race of the Stirling Lubricants-DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge as a part of the Stars and Stripes Spectacular undercard to the Super DIRTcar Series. Action for the night can be seen live on DIRTVision.

Sexton Gatlin Racing Returns to Action June 27 at the Ventura Raceway
Lakeside, CA — June 12, 2026 — Taking advantage of a couple of weeks off, Sexton Gatlin Racing team drivers Brent and Grant Sexton will return to dirt track action in a unique Ultimate Sprint Car Series doubleheader that will feature winged and non-winged sprint cars at the Ventura Raceway on June 27th.
Last week, Brent represented SGR in a USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race at the Santa Maria Speedway. It was his 17th race of the 2026 campaign and his second with USAC/CRA. His initial 2026 outing with the series that was launched 22-years ago came at Mohave Valley Raceway on February 28th. On that night, he placed 16th in the main.
While he improved his finishing position by four spots over the Mohave Valley outing, last week’s effort at Santa Maria started with a nightmare. Sexton backed his pretty #44 into the wall in qualifying. The car was substantially damaged, and it took diligent work by the crew to get it fixed, and it took time. So much time that the Lakeside, California veteran was forced to miss qualifying and his heat race. That meant the three-time Lightning Sprint Car Champion had to start at the back of the pack in 16th in the main event.
In the main, Sexton stayed out of trouble and moved forward to finish 12th. It may not see significant to some, but considering just what it took to get the car back on the track for the 30-lapper, it was a well-earned reward.
Sexton Gatlin Racing is taking this weekend off but will
return to the dirt track wars on June 27th at a USCS winged and non wing
doubleheader at Ventura. Brent will be in the non-wing car, and his youngest
offspring, Grant, will contest the wing portion of the show.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2026 season.
Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2026 season possible. East County Electric Works, Antonelli’s Deli, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

Sprint Cars, Stock Cars, Bicycle Giveaways, and Jimmy Oskie Meet & Greet This Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway
Perris, California — June 17, 2026 — After one week off,
Perris Auto Speedway roars back into action this Saturday, June 20th, when
Heimark Distributors Anheuser-Busch presents the return of the Avanti
Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars along with the PASSCAR Super Stocks,
Street Stocks, and American Factory Stocks. In addition to the exciting
racing action on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval, three
kids’ bicycles will be given away to lucky young fans, and five-time CRA
Sprint Car Champion and National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Jimmy Oskie will
be on hand to meet fans, sign autographs, and pose for photos before the
races.
“It is going to be a fun night,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “Four classes of racing, kids dance battle, T-shirt launches, heat race hero’s contest where fans can win tickets to upcoming races will all be part of the show, and we are giving away more bicycles. There is something for everyone.”
For the bicycle giveaways, every fan entering the track will
receive a raffle ticket. Immediately following the Kids Dance Battle at
intermission, three lucky tickets will be drawn, and each winner will take
home a brand-new kids’ bicycle.

If the fun for the kids, bicycle giveaways, and thrilling racing action are not enough, fans will also have the opportunity to meet one of the all-time greats in West Coast sprint car racing history, Jimmy Oskie, before the races.
Thanks to USAC/CRA publicist Lance Jennings, Jimmy Oskie will be on hand to meet fans and sign autographs,” Kazarian stated. “The original CRA began just after World War II. It eventually morphed into the SCRA and now into USAC/CRA. In all those years, Jimmy has been one of the greatest drivers on the West Coast. On top of that, he is a super person who loves talking to people. We hope a lot of fans come out early to meet him.
Joining the headline USAC/CRA Sprint Cars on the racing portion of the program, the PASSCAR Super Stocks will be the fastest of the three Stock Car divisions competing on the night. Victorville’s Rick Arringdale, who captured PAS championships in 1999 and 2001, returned as a regular competitor last season and currently sits atop the standings. Temecula’s Blaine Whitson, a multi-time division champion at The PAS, is only two points behind the leader. Sitting third, just six points out of first, is Glen Avon’s “Hot Rod” John Caley. Beaumont’s Steven Welch and second-generation racer George Leventis complete the top five.
Yorba Linda’s Chad Mahony leads the Street Stock championship chase over Leventis. Riverside’s Morgan Rowlan holds down the third position. Two-time champion Sean Estes of Riverside, who captured last month’s $2,000-to-win special main event, is fourth, while season-opening winner Justin Dunn rounds out the top five.
The American Factory Stock championship battle is already shaping up to be a slugfest. Ramona’s Andrew Schmitz holds a four-point advantage over 2023 champion Kris Carnish of Menifee. However, the fight throughout the top six is incredibly tight, with Carnish and sixth-place Joseph Pack of Menifee separated by only four points. Sandwiched between them are Jurupa Valley’s James Keller in third, along with three-time champion David Stites of Canyon Lake and Ramona’s Cameron Broe, who are tied for fourth.
Spectator gates at the super-clean speed plant will open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over are $25.00. Students 13-17 with their school ID get in for $15.00. Kids ages 6-12 are $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. Active military members with proper ID get in for $5.00. Parking is $20.00.
Advance tickets for all PAS shows are available now at [tix.com]tix.com. Fans who do not wish to purchase advance tickets will still be able to buy plenty of tickets at the ticket windows on race night.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. For more information, visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.
WINGED SPRINT CARS RETURN TO ORLANDO SPEED WORLD SEPTEMBER
19 June 17, 2026 – Lakeland, Florida - The BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series today announced that the series will visit Orlando Speed World for the first time in series history September 19, 2026 as part of the Hell on Wheels Full Throttle events. It will be the first time winged sprint cars have competed on the 3/8-mile, semi-banked asphalt oval since 2013. The now defunct Tampa Bay Area Racing Association (TBARA) competed at Orlando Speed World on Saturday December 7, 2013. Tommy Nichols was victorious in that final winged sprint car race at the facility. The Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series will officially ring in the new era of winged sprint car racing at the historic facility that is in Bithlo, Florida On September 19. The speedway first opened in 1974 and has a rich history of hosting winged pavement sprint car events, most notably with TBARA. Due to a nearly 13-year absence hosting sprint car events at Orlando Speed World, many drivers will get their first look at the facility. Until this past May 23, 2026, the facility has sat idle for over a decade. Veteran series drivers Sport Allen, Jim Childers, Larry Brazil Jr., and Mickey Kempgens have competed at the facility in the past. These veterans will be joined by a handful of drivers who have never competed in winged sprint cars at the track. Among them are series point leader Colton Bettis, Tyler Porter, Jerry Paquin, Bruce Brantley, and Steven Hollinger among others. It is expected that this event could lure northern drivers down for the weekend to compete due to the popularity of Orlando Speed World and the absence of sprint car racing at the track. The timing of this event puts the battle for the season championship in the thick of things. After this event, there will still be at least three points races left on the 2026 schedule. For more information check out the Southern Sprint Car Series Facebook page and Website WWW.Southernsprintcarshootout.com or The Hell on Wheels Full Throttle Facebook page.

“Just a tad bit off all night long at Knoxville Raceway,” Brown was quick to note. “Got ourselves buried for the main and could never really get going. We’d pass a car, then get passed by a car…that was basically our whole night.
“Really looking forward to the High Bank Nationals at Huset’s Speedway. Tod Quiring and his team have put up a bunch of money, and when there’s a bunch of money up, it’s a place we want to be. Thankful that there are owners like that across the country that are putting up money like that, not only at Huset’s this weekend, but at Skagit Speedway. Very exciting times for sprint car racing.”

Empire Super Sprints Head North for Tripleheader
By Curtis Berleue (Oswego, NY) | As the month of June winds down, the Empire
Super Sprints schedule is heating up. For the first time this season, a
tripleheader is on tap. The tour will head north to Northern NY on Friday
and then cross the border into Canada on Saturday for two nights of action.
Friday will be the tour’s first visit to the Mohawk International Raceway
since 2019. When the tour last visited the Akwesasne, NY track, it was Davie
Franek who picked up the victory. In 23 ESS A-Mains completed at Mohawk,
there have been 14 different winners, with perennial champion Steve Poirier
holding the record for the most wins at the track with 8.
Saturday, the tour crosses over the border into Canada for the first of two
scheduled visits to the Brockville Ontario Speedway. The tour last stopped
at Brockville twice in 2025, with eventual champion Jordan Poirier picking
up the first win in June, and former champion Paulie Colagiovanni picking up
the win when the tour made their second appearance in August.
The final leg of the tripleheader will be Sunday, when the tour moves an
hour further north to the Cornwall Motor Speedway in Cornwall, Ontario.
Similar to Brockville, the Empire Super Sprints are scheduled to make two
appearances in Cornwall in 2026, with the second scheduled for later this
year in August. Last season, it was Jordan Poirier picking up the win. He
now has two victories and will be looking for his third on Sunday to tie his
uncle Steve (Poirier) for the most ESS wins at the Ontario bullring.
Each race this weekend is part of the Transport Benoit Lafleur Canada series
and will pay $2,000 to win and $300 to start. For more information on each
night’s activities including gate times, admission prices and a nightly
schedule of events, please visit each tracks website/social media pages
along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages.

Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com)

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA – Skagit Casino Resort presents the 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway June 18,19,20, paying over $100,000 to the winner on Saturday Night. Hailing from Owasso, OK, driving the 69K Daryn Pittman throws his hat into the ring to compete for the top prize.
Pittman has been racing this year with Don Kreitz and the 69K car, a team that predominantly races in Central Pennsylvania. Through six races so far this year, with the team, Pittman's best finish was fifth at Volusia on March 2nd with the World of Outlaws. Dirt Cup will be the farthest west the 69K team has ever come to race.
“I don't know what to expect,” Don Kreitz said. “Generally, we're not a knockout team on small tracks, just because we don't have many of them out here, so we don't run them that much, but we'll do the best we can.”
Pittman, however, is no stranger to Skagit Speedway, winning back-to-back in 2017 and 2018 when the World of Outlaws came for their two-day show. 2019 would be his last appearance at Skagit Speedway until last year, when he ran the Skagit Nationals with Jason Meyers Racing. Pittman made the A-main all three nights, with his best finish being 12th on Thursday night.
“It's a track I've had success at, so hopefully I can relay some of my information over to Don, and we can roll around there, you know, hopefully pretty quickly, early on into the three-day event,” Pittman said.
When asked what it takes to be successful at Skagit Speedway Pittman said a dryer track is better for him and the car, but if it gets to where they are beating the fence down in turns three and four it’s not his best track conditions or the cars but if it gets slick and technical where he can float the middle in both corners he thinks they can contend or hopefully be the car to beat.
“Keeping an eye on track conditions, knowing our strengths, knowing our weaknesses, and just basically trying to improve, and then going to a place that you know they've never been to,” Pittman said “You know, obviously I'm sure they're going to rely on me a lot to try to give them some good feedback, and I've got to try to get zoned in pretty quickly, and try to relay to them what I think we need to be to be better.”
This year will be Pittman’s first attempt at running Super Dirt Cup. Kreitz said he and a partner on the team were talking a few years ago about how, before Kreitz hangs it up, it would be neat to run different tracks so they’ve started doing that the past couple of years. Additionally he stated With the team racing in Knoxville this weekend (June 12 and 13) and one of the crew members having family in Washington they decided to continue heading west to run Skagit.
“If we didn't think we had a chance to compete for a win, I don't think we would make the trip,” Pittman said. “But obviously we know that there's 20 other legit cars that have the same mindset, so we also know what a tough task that'll be … I think the 69k is proven to be a car capable of winning pretty much anywhere that it shows up.”
Before the racing action kicks off for the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup, the festivities start Wednesday, June 17, with the Super Dirt Cup Kick-Off Party at the Railroad Pub and Pizza, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., where there will be live music from the Chris Eger Band, Sprint Cars, and more!

SKAGIT SPEEDWAY
ALGER, WA — The Skagit Casino Resort presents the 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway June 18, 19, 20, paying over $100K to the winner on Saturday Night.
One of the many names coming to the Super Dirt Cup this year is 15-year-old Jett Barnes.
Barnes has already knocked off two 360 Sprint Cars wins this year, both at Watsonville Speedway and a 410 win at the Douglas County Dirt Track. Barnes made his 410 Sprint Car debut Friday, May 29, at Watsonville Speedway with the NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series, where he finished sixth in the A-Main that night.
“I was really excited for it … It's a big jump, so it takes some time, but I think overall everything went well,” Barnes said in reference to his NARC debut.
Barnes made his Skagit Speedway debut in 2025 when he came to the Fred Brownfield 360 Summer Nationals with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Barnes finished 20th on the opening night but rebounded with a 13th-place finish on the final night after starting 18th.
“I was so amazed by the facility, it was awesome honestly,” Barnes said. “Probably the nicest track I've ever been to, facility-wise, track racing too, the racing surface was good, the pits were good, everything, everyone there is just nice and awesome.”
This year, Barnes makes his Super Dirt Cup debut in a field loaded with talented drivers from all over the world. Barnes said despite it being his first couple of races in a 410 Sprint Car, he doesn't see that as an excuse and is still hoping to either get a win or do something good.
Barnes will be participating in the NARC King of the West Fastest Five Days - Road to Dirt Cup, built by Lippert Construction Inc, kicking off June 11 at Southern Oregon Speedway. Similar to the Sprint Car Challenge Tour Speedweek he participated in last year, he feels the NARC Speedweek can benefit him in a similar way.
“Last year, I ran the SCCT Speedweek, and I didn't have much
experience in a 360 [Sprint Car] before that, but I feel like it definitely
helped me just getting to experience new tracks and just different racing
surfaces and just handling the car,” Barnes said. “I think it'll be good for
me, because there's big tracks and little tracks, and it'll just help.”
Before the racing action kicks off for the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual
Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup, the festivities start Wednesday, June 17,
with the Dirt Cup Kick-Off Party at the Railroad Pub and Pizza, from 5 p.m.

This Saturday will be the initial visit to Watsonville Speedway for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour since 2023. It’s also the first SCCT event held at the track since SRE Promotions assumed leadership of the venue earlier this year.
The pit gate for competitors opens at 1pm on Saturday, while the front gate for spectators opens at 3:30. The drivers meeting will be held at 3:45pm, with track packing a little after 4. Please advise of the earlier starting time. Hot laps, Sierra Foothills Wine Services qualifying and heat races will follow.
The Johnny Key Classic originally started out at the paved San Jose Speedway following the passing of driver Johnny Key during a racing crash in 1954. It then moved to the fairgrounds dirt track in 1978 and had been a staple at the speedway until the closing of the dirt oval in 1999.
After several years sitting idle, Watsonville Speedway brought the event back in 2007 and this year commemorates the 20th consecutive season that it is held at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds facility.
Former SCCT champion Justyn Cox brings the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour point lead into Watsonville Speedway on Saturday. The Clarksburg racer will be looking to rebound following a DNF last week in Petaluma.
Cox holds a 30-point advantage over his nearest competitor that is expected on Saturday, with that being Marysville’s Dawson Hammes. Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes and Colfax driver Cole Croft round out the top five in points.
Sacramento’s Landon Henry is fresh off his first career Sprint Car win last week and sits atop the Gold Star GMC Sprint Car standings at the track. Cotati’s Jake Haulot, Croft, Salinas’ Caleb Debem and Brentwood’s Adrianna DeMartini complete the top five.

Tri-City Raceway Park is gearing up for a massive "Double
Down Weekend" on its half-mile oval, bringing race fans two big events of
action on Friday and Sunday.
FRANKLIN, PA — The weekend begins on Friday with a packed four-star racing,
plus Mini Stocks before returning on Father’s Day Sunday with a
heavy-hitting lineup featuring regional touring stars. For drivers and race
fans alike, it's a chance to catch two nights of racing to help celebrate
Father's Day weekend.
Friday’s action launches with the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars,
where a brand-new point leader is sitting on top of the standings. Brandon
Matus rides a wave of momentum into the weekend after capturing his first
feature win in five years, giving him a narrow 10-point lead over
64-year-old veteran Bob Felmlee. Felmlee is highly motivated to bounce back
after a mechanical failure knocked him out of the running before the green
flag even dropped last week. Chasing them both is rising young gun Dusty
Larson, who holds down the third spot with 286 points. In the RK Virgile
Iron & Steel Pro Stocks, Curt J. Bish shook up the division last week by
snapping the win streak held by the Whitling father-son duo. With that
victory, Bish has closed the gap to just six points behind current
championship leader Jake Whitling, who tops the division with 241 points.
The 21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars have completed five feature
events so far this season, but victory lane has belonged to just two
drivers. Defending track champion Blaze Myers has already made three trips
to victory lane to command the standings with 329 points, while Gale Ruth
Jr. owns the other two checkered flags and is looking to shrink his 30-point
deficit this weekend. They will have to fend off a fast Zach Morrow, who is
aiming for a major rebound after a DNF ended his night early last week.
Meanwhile, the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars have essentially
been the William Baker show, as he has captured three wins in four races,
with his only loss coming via a mechanical breakage. Billy Myers Sr. is the
only other driver to claim a checkered flag in the division this year and
will be looking to halt Baker's run. The Mini Stocks will round out Friday's
action-packed racing card. The green drops at 7 pm on Friday.
The excitement picks right back up on Father's Day Sunday as the regional
stars of the FAST 410 Sprint Car Series roll into town for their only
official tune-up before the prestigious Summer Sizzler / Andy & Billie Lutz
Memorial Race. Because this is the final chance to dial in car setups before
the big-money memorial race, drivers are expected to push their equipment to
the absolute limit on the fast half-mile. This tour is locked in a tight
championship battle led by Tyler Gunn with 1,879 points, followed closely by
John Jerich (1,828), Tyler Esh (1,686), Jonah Aumend (1,677), Ricky Peterson
(1,657), and Mitch Harble (1,548). Tri-City local standouts are ready to
defend their home turf, including AJ Flick, who has captured two of the past
four tour races on the half-mile oval, and Jeremy Weaver, the reigning
Summer Sizzler champion. Brandon Spithaler is also on a serious roll at
Tri-City, having already won twice here this season and coming off a strong
second-place finish last week. Joining the sprint cars for their first
appearance of the season are the big-block BRP Modifieds. This marks the
36th time the big blocks will race at the Venango County facility, a
historic track that has produced 16 different winners over the years. Erick
Rudolph leads the historical stats with six track victories, including a
triumph last season, while Rex King Jr. and Colten Walters also earned
checkered flags here last year. Rounding out Sunday’s spectacular holiday
event are the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds. Fans can expect a highly competitive
showdown in this division, as Todd English and Chas Wolbert split all four
feature races between them last season, leaving everyone wondering who will
break the tie this time around. The racing will start at 7 Pm on Sunday.

Starks Delivers Wins at Skagit Speedway and Grays Harbor Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – ELMA, Wash. (June 16, 2026) – Trey Starks produced a pair of feature victories and a trio of top 10s during a tripleheader weekend in Washington.
Starks set quick time, powered from fourth to second place and won the 360ci winged sprint car main event on Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. It increased his lead in the track’s championship standings to 66 points.
“We drew the No. 2 in the feature redraw so our draws are coming back around lately,” he said. “I tried to take advantage of the good draw. I wanted to get out and set my pace. I got to traffic and was able to be really efficient. We had a long green-flag run and built up a seven-second lead. Then we had a couple of restarts at the end and I just focused on hitting my marks. It was great to win the final race at Skagit before Dirt Cup.”
Starks ventured to Grays Harbor Raceway for a pair of NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series shows starting on Sunday.
“We qualified fourth quickest and had to win the heat race from the pole position,” he said. “I got the jump and won the heat, which put us in the dash. I got a good dash draw to start on the outside of the front row. I was able to get the jump to take the lead. That was nice to be able to control the start of the feature from the pole. I got the jump on the initial start and tried to move around where the track was moving. It started on the bottom and then moved to the top. I fought through traffic and we had a handful of restarts to navigate. I fired off good and stayed out in front. This race last year, I didn’t navigate traffic well enough and it cost us the win. I didn’t want to do that again. It felt good to earn the win as we don’t get to race in Elma very much anymore and we were up against some really good competition.”
The back-to-back victories gave Starks his 13th consecutive top-five result to open the season, which was the best run of his career.
The action wrapped up on Monday at Grays Harbor Raceway, where Starks qualified second quickest, placed fourth in a heat race, finished sixth in the dash and ended the night eighth in the A Main.
“We went out late and had a really good qualifying effort,” he said. “We were second quickest on a track that seemed like it was falling off. We did what we needed in the heat race and then drew the No. 5 for the dash. I didn’t get a good start so that put us sixth. The track was hard on tires and we kind of gambled on what we were doing as it was a good opportunity to try something for the feature. We just didn’t have the car speed we needed. We floated around the top 10 and climbed to sixth before a late-race restart. There was spotty rubber and I misjudged and two cars got by. That was a bummer, but we knew we were experimenting. We definitely learned some things there.”
Next up for Starks will be the 54th annual Skagit Casino Resort Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup this Thursday through Saturday at Skagit Speedway. He captured the prestigious event last year.
“With two wins on the weekend, it gives us a lot of confidence going into Dirt Cup,” he said. “We have car speed and that’s a big one. I think expectations are high. I’m putting a fair amount of pressure on myself to back it up. We’ve been strong this year so I think we have a good chance. There will be a lot of heavy hitters, but that doesn’t change anything for us. We have to do our job and have things go our way.”

Post enjoys ‘fun’ night at Plymouth
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 16, 2026 – Racing at a local dirt track is supposed to be fun for drivers, teams, and fans alike. That’s just what it was for fifth-year Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car competitor at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, June 13.
In his third event of the 2026 campaign, Post opened the night by qualifying 22nd overall in the 26-car field. Following a fifth-place showing in the second heat race, the Oostburg, Wis. driver placed second in the B main to earn a berth in the 25-lap main event.
After starting 18th in the A main, the fourth-year 360 Sprint Car racer was running 20th on lap 20 before moving up three spots in the final five laps to record a 17th-place finish.
“If I had to sum up the night in one word, it would be ‘fun’; we had a blast,” Post said. “We made some huge adjustments to the car, and I believe I found something I have been battling for like five years. I was very happy with the way the car handled and the clean racing we saw from my point of view. The things I’d like to improve on aren’t really anything wrench-wise but just knowing how to drive the car now that it handles correctly. I have a lot of bad habits that now need to be broken and need to figure this thing out all over again.”
Post is planning to compete at The Plymouth Dirt Track with the PDTR 360 Sprint Cars this Saturday, June 20.

Pokorski secures solid Seymour showing
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 16, 2026 – A late decision to enter a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis., proved fruitful for Alex Pokorski and the GR8 Team on Friday, June 12.
Pokorski opened the night strong by qualifying fifth in the 26-car field with a lap of 12.079 seconds around the progressive-banked third-mile clay oval. After placing fourth in the second IRA heat race, Pokorski started and finished fifth in his first dash appearance of the 2026 season.
The seventh-year Sprint Car competitor rolled off 10th in the 30-lap A main and was running 14th when he was involved in an incident in turn two on lap 10. After restarting 18th, Pokorski battled back to record a 14th-place showing.
“I could've been a bit better in the heat race, but we made some good strides on the car balance,” Pokorski said. “It was fun to race in the feature, even though we had to come from the back after an incident. I enjoyed having a lot of family and friends spend the night with us.”
After a week off, Alex and the GR8 Team will head to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for a pair of NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series events on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Produce Podium at Eagle and Top Five at Knoxville With BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals on Tap
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 15, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports recorded a top-five finish with both Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing and the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series last week.
David Gravel guided the team to a runner-up result last Tuesday at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb., during the Eagle Nationals with High Limit Racing. Three days later, he charged from 11th to fourth at Knoxville Raceway.
“Eagle was good from start to finish,” said Gravel, who set quick time during qualifying, placed third in a heat race and won the dash. “We had a little racing luck in the feature with cautions. I felt we were okay in the beginning of the race, but our car got better when we burned the fuel load off. It was rough and treacherous on the top, which isn’t something we are the best at. We were able to survive and come home with a second-place finish.”
Gravel opened the World of Outlaws doubleheader at Knoxville Raceway on Friday by qualifying sixth quickest in his group. He placed third in a heat race to start the main event on the inside of the sixth row.
“We qualified okay, but not up to our standards,” he said. “We had a really strong heat race of cars around us and ran third. In the feature, we had a couple of good starts and the car really came along at the end. I almost passed Sheldon (Haudenschild) with five or seven laps to go. I didn’t get to clear him and he took my lane. (Aaron) Reutzel passed me back and on the last lap I got him again. At the end of the race, we were one of the fastest cars for sure.”
Saturday’s weekend finale rained out.
Gravel currently leads the World of Outlaws championship standings by 82 points.
This week showcases four big nights of action at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., which hosts the $150,000-to-win Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle on Wednesday and Thursday and the $300,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals on Friday and Saturday.
“You get to just go out and race hard,” Gravel said. “Your mindset is to position yourself best with the format and try to be on your game. Not that I’ll be driving differently, but the pressure is off for points so we can focus on the top prize.
“Huset’s has been pretty good for us. Right now, the No. 83 is the car to beat so everybody has to get better to beat him. Having four nights in a row gives us plenty of time to continue to get better on our package at Huset’s. Hopefully we can have good prelim nights and be in a good position for Thursday and Saturday.”

Huge Money and High Car Count Headline $150k-to-Win Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle and $300k-to-Win BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals This Week at Huset’s Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (June 15, 2026) – The top stars in winged sprint car racing will converge upon Huset’s Speedway this week for the 5th annual BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals.
The four-day spectacle showcases the $150,000-to-win Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle on Wednesday and Thursday followed by the $300,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals. Both preliminary nights on Wednesday and Friday pay $20,000 to win.
Additionally, there is a $100,000 High Bank Bounty bonus that will be awarded if any driver who isn’t a full-time World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series competitor captures Saturday’s finale – making it a $400,000 top prize.
Michael “Buddy” Kofoid has won the last three and five of the last seven World of Outlaws races at the track, including the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals each of the last two years as well as the Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle last season.
World of Outlaws points leader David Gravel is the 2023 BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals champion with Sheldon Haudenschild claiming the inaugural title in 2022.
Carson Macedo, Donny Schatz, Logan Schuchart, Spencer Bayston and Bill Balog are fellow Outlaws with at least one Series triumph at the track.
Giovanni Scelzi, Tyler Courtney, Kerry Madsen and Daison Pursley are drivers ranked in the top top 10 of the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing championship standings who are scheduled to compete along with High Limit Racing full-timers Hank Davis and Chase Randall.
Defending Huset’s Speedway champion Ryan Timms, who won the track’s most recent event on Sunday, is part of a strong contingent of Midwest contenders that also includes Mark Dobmeier, Austin McCarl, Kaleb Johnson, Brian Brown and current Huset’s Speedway points leader Christopher Thram to name a few.
More than 50 drivers have either pre-entered or told track officials that they will be competing. An overview of the format with 49 or more drivers competing during the two preliminary nights (Wednesday and Friday) is:
Drivers will be split into two qualifying groups with three heat races per group. The heat races will have an inversion of six, meaning the quickest qualifier lines up sixth. Points will be tabulated from qualifying and heat race results with the top four drivers in each group advancing into the dash and the top 10 in each group into the A Main. The C Main will transfer the top two finishers into the back of the B Main, which will transfer the top four into the back of the A Main.
Preliminary points will line up six heat races straight up to open the programs on Thursday and Saturday. The heat race winners will be locked into the $1,000-to-win Unique Movers King of the Hill to determine the first three rows of the main event. Drivers who finished second and third in the heat races are locked into the A Main and will redraw among their finishing position group (second-place finishers starting in positions seven through 12 and third-place finishers starting in positions 13 through 18). The top four transfer out of the C Main to the back of the B Main and the top six in the B Main will make up the final three rows of the A Main lineup.
The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 7 p.m. each night.
Single-day and multiple-day tickets as well as camping spots can be purchased online at https://mpv.tickets.com/schedule/?agency=JKMV_PL_MPV&orgid=55369#/?view=list&includePackages=true.
There are numerous events around the facility throughout this week, including the High Bank Nationals Parking Lot Pre-Party on Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Pizza Ranch in Brandon. Drivers will be on site along with their apparel trailers. Children 10-years-old and younger eat free with a paying adult. There is a 20 percent discount for anyone wearing a racing t-shirt.

Colby Copeland Charges to Fourth Place Finish in Petaluma, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA- Getting in one final night of action before heading to this week’s Super Dirt Cup, Colby Copeland and C&M Motorsports rallied from a slow start at Petaluma Speedway and charged to a fourth-place finish in the feature event.
“It started out like it might be a pretty frustrating night on Saturday night, but my guys made some big changes that really helped us have a great run in the feature event,” Colby Copeland said.
Opting to head to Petaluma Speedway on Saturday night with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, Copeland got the night underway as he timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7C in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Slipping back to a seventh-place finish in his heat race, the Roseville, CA driver found himself back in the 13th starting position on what turned into a hooked-up Petaluma Speedway surface once the sun started to set.
As the race came to life, Copeland wasted no time moving forward as he worked into sixth on the second lap, though slipped back to seventh on the 4th lap.
Continuing to fly around the famed black gumbo surface, Copeland worked into fifth on the seventh lap and settled in for the next 10 laps.
On the 17th lap, Copeland worked into fourth as he chased after Jake Haulot and Jake Andreotti who ran ahead of him. With the top four all going roughly the same speed, Copeland was unable to sneak on to the podium as he closed the night out with a hard charge to fourth.
“Thanks to Cody and Bobby for continuing to work hard,” Copeland said. “Really looking forward to getting up to Washington this week with the entire C&M Motorsports team for the Super Dirt Cup.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports will be back in action with Copeland this Thursday-Saturday for the Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-12, Wins-1, Top 5’s-5, Top 10’s-7

Mallett Tackling ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints Doubleheader This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (June 15, 2026) – Jordon Mallett has his fingers crossed that wet weather will stay away from his home state of Arkansas this weekend.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains have lost the last eight scheduled races to rainouts. Hopefully that changes this Friday at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway in Paragould and Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis during an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints doubleheader.
“This season seems like it’s hurry up and wait,” Mallett said. “The rain has been very frustrating because we have a lot of speed and we’re gelling well. That’s just the nature of the beast sometimes. I’m glad these races this weekend are close to home. Hopefully we can keep the speed going and get into the summertime where it’s dry again.”
Mallett recorded a fourth-place finish at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway last July during his most recent appearance at the track. He was also victorious at the dirt oval in June 2022.
“We won a race there a couple of years ago,” he said. “Normally every year we circle it on the calendar as a track we look forward to going to. It’s a different animal with how small it is, but a joy to go to regardless of how you run.”
Mallett finished fourth at Riverside International Speedway in May.
“I feel like if you take our last several races this season, the one at Riverside was the one we weren’t good at even though we ran in the top five,” he said. “I’m ready to go back there and see if we can improve compared to the last time we were there.”
Mallett enters this weekend with a top-four result during each of his last six starts.
SEASON STATS –
11 races, 0 wins, 7 top fives, 8 top 10s, 8 top 15s, 11 top 20s

Estenson Eager for BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – HARLAN, Iowa (June 15, 2026) – Tim Estenson is bound for the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals this week.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor will race Wednesday through Saturday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., during a four-day World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series spectacle. The first two days encompass the $150,000-to-win Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle with the final two showcasing the $300,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals, which also features a $100,000 High Bank Bounty.
“We have quite a bit of laps over there between me and Jack (Dover),” he said. “I think laying down a good qualifying time is key to be able to be competitive in a heat race. I just want to make every lap and hit every mark I can. To make the shows would be huge, but most importantly I want to make smart decisions and get better each night.”
Estenson finished fourth in the Huset’s Speedway championship standings during the 2024 season, when he posted one top five and seven top 10s in 10 feature starts. He ranked 10th in the track’s championship standings after recording one top five and four top 10s in 10 feature starts in 2023.
“I think trying not to overthink it and trying not to be so perfect is important,” he said. “I think I can get up to speed quick. I just need to get into a groove and make moves when I can. Not getting caught up in stuff, especially with how fast the track is, is important.”
Estenson got his season opener out of the way last Thursday at Shelby County Speedway, where he qualified 13th quickest before placing eighth in a heat race and 11th in the B Main at the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing show.
“Me being competitive, I wanted to do better than how we ended, but as soon as I got in the car I was able to get pretty comfortable right away,” he said. “In qualifying, we were better than we were in hot laps. In the heat race, I got into fifth on the start, but it was one of those deals where I should have stuck the bottom and I lost a couple of spots. Overall, I was happy to be up to speed. I just need to get more laps to get my race craft back to start getting into a groove.”
QUICK RESULTS –
June 11 – Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa – Qualifying: 13; Heat race: 8 (7); B Main: 11 (9).
SEASON STATS –
1 race, 0 wins, 0 top fives, 0 top 10s, 0 top 15s, 0 top 20s

PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team were in action both
Friday and Saturday night as Forsberg finished fourth on Friday in
Watsonville, CA before picking up the win on Saturday with the SCCT in
Petaluma, CA.
“Friday night we had a chance to get down to Ocean Speedway,
and the track staff went to work all week to dial their track shape in and I
was really impressed with it and I think they are very close to having a
really good configuration,” Andy Forsberg said. “Racing wise, we were pretty
good all night and ended up fourth.”
With a light car count on had Friday in Watsonville, CA,
Forsberg took a liking to the reshaped Watsonville Speedway as he picked up
his first fast time effort of the season aboard the PHR/Wilkie
Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No. 92.
Running fourth in his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver lined
up in the second row of the 25-lap feature event. When the race went green,
Forsberg was able to make a couple of quick moves to work into second as he
chased after Landon Henry.
On a late restart, Henry and Forsberg raced wing to wing
down the front stretch and as Henry beat Forsberg into the first set of
turns, he drifted up and allowed second and third to get by as he slipped
back to fourth.
Unable to make up the lost ground in the closing laps,
Forsberg closed his Friday night out with a fourth-place finish.
Saturday saw the team travel to Petaluma Speedway in
Petaluma, CA to take part in the Sprint Car Challenge Tour’s Wings Over Wine
Country event.
With 16 cars in the pit area, Forsberg again earned quick
time honors before finishing third in his heat race.
Moving into the Dash, Forsberg again finished third which
put him in the second row of the 30-lap feature event as he chased after his
eighth feature event win of the season.
Working into second on the 2nd lap, Forsberg was able to
keep pace with the race’s early leader, Jake Haulot, and make his move on
the seventh lap.
Jumping out front, Forsberg was in command as he ripped
around the bay area’s bullring.
Leading the final 23-laps, Forsberg was able to again score
with the SCCT at Petaluma Speedway.
“Big thanks to my crew for all of their hard work,” Forsberg
said. “They have really been looking at how to improve our qualifying
efforts and it was nice to see it play out over the weekend and set both
nights up early. We will take this weekend off before returning to
Placerville on the 27th.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific
Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red
Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group,
MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their

Madsen and Vermeer score top-five in High Limit visit to Shelby County; Four days at Huset’s begins Wednesday
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (June 15, 2026) - Although a bumpy start to the week that saw “The Madman” settle for an 18th-place score in Eagle Raceway’s Eagle Nationals on Tuesday, June 9, the Knoxville ace via Down Under rebounded in a hurry, racing on to score a top-five - finishing fourth, officially - at Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, on Thursday, June 11. The High Limit Racing top-five propelled Vermeer Motorsports’ total to four on the season, simultaneously increasing their top-ten tally to 14.

Xavier Doney the best at Lawton; Back-to-back podiums in two-day Sooner Shuffle
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (June 15, 2026) - Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars were almost perfect in their two-day Sooner Shuffle with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League, capping their sweep through Creek County Speedway (June 12) and Lawton Speedway (June 13) with back-to-back podiums, the second of which resulting in victory.
Doney, who stands atop the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League championship standings, earned his Lawton Speedway triumph from the pole position, taking command following a lap 16 restart. Doney’s eventual wing dance followed a productive preliminary effort that saw the Odessa, Missouri, wheelman kick things off with a heat race win - the A-Main score was Doney’s first of the 2026 season.
“I made a mistake early but was able to find speed on the top in turns three and four and keep up,” said Doney in Victory Lane. “That late-race restart was the key to the win tonight. I was able to just get out front and go. This team gets all the thanks for always giving me such a great car.”
As noted, it was a back-to-back podium weekend for Xavier Doney, launching his stretch through Oklahoma with a runner-up result at Creek County Speedway on Friday, June 12.
In addition, Natalie Doney, the younger sister and teammate of Xavier Doney, also found success in her weekend through Oklahoma, capping her outings with a top-ten at Lawton Speedway. Natalie, also a full-time ace with POWRi, finished tenth in the aforementioned top-ten, maintaining a consistent presence after starting from row six. It was her first POWRi top-ten of the season.
ON DECK:
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will continue
their 2026 campaign with a two-day trek through Indiana and Illinois, set to
visit Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Indiana, and Spoon River
Speedway in Lewistown, Illinois, on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20. Each
event will feature the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League.

Racing Optics returns to 38th Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic as official presenting partner of Toyota Dash
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ATTICA, Ohio (June 15, 2026) - Continuing a multi-year tradition of supporting one of the nation’s highly sought-after sprint car prizes, Racing Optics, a leading manufacturer of multi-layer laminated tearoffs, will return to the 38th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac® Vitamins and Minerals as the official presenting partner of the evening’s Toyota Dash.
Stemming from Orange County, California, before making the move to Las Vegas, Nevada, Racing Optics has been a fixture in the motorsports industry since 1999, continuously expanding its market reach while quickly becoming the country’s top developer and provider of multi-layered laminated tearoffs. Boasting a strong pedigree of safety, performance, and productivity, all of which influenced by company founders Bart, Steve, and Seth Wilson, Racing Optics eventually expanded their reach into the military and medical industries, utilizing diversification to develop multiple divisions including RO Tactical, RO Medical, RO Industrial, RO Windshield, and RO Protective.
“When Bart Wilson and his family knew there was a need for a better tear off, what they developed many years ago is still the leading tear off on the market today, and not just in dirt racing, but in so many other applications as well,” Brad Doty said. “I didn’t know Mr. Wilson personally when I approached him about becoming a part of our event 19 years ago but not only is he and Racing Optics still a big part of the Brad Doty Classic, I have been fortunate enough to get to know him and his family on a more personal basis, which is a bonus.
“I know I say this every year, but as someone who struggled to see through a stack of the old opaque style tear off, I wish these would have been available when I was racing.”
Like seasons prior, the 38th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac® Vitamins and Minerals - awarding a $20,000-to-win on July 14 - will kick-off a massive Ohio swing for the Greatest Show On Dirt, which will see competition continue with the legendary Kings Royal at the world-famous Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
Carson Macedo, who finished third in the 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series standings, is the defending Brad Doty Classic champion, outdueling fellow California native, Buddy Kofoid, as well as a Hard Charging Donny Schatz - a ten-time World of Outlaws champion.
Like 2025, the Brad Doty Classic winner will be awarded the coveted Brad Doty Classic championship trophy and helmet – all to be awarded in Attica Raceway Park victory lane following the 40-lap contest.

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, Wash. – Racing action continues this Saturday, June 13, at Skagit Speedway as the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars return, joined by the Sportsman Sprints and the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds.
The Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars rumble back into Skagit Speedway after last racing on May 30. Levi Hillier was the story that night, winning both the 410 and 360 races. The 16-year-old started on the pole and led all 30 laps on his way to his second career Skagit Speedway 360 win. Trey Starks continues to lead the points standings with 590 points and three wins. Starks won three in a row before Colton Heath ended his winning streak. Starks is the only driver to maintain a perfect top-five streak through the first five races of the season. His worst finish was fourth on May 30. Heath, Hillier, Jesse Schlotfeldt, and Robbie Price have yet to finish outside the top 10 in five races. Heath and Hillier sit second and third in points, 44 and 75 points behind Starks, respectively.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars are back after last racing on May 16. Through two races so far, there have been two different winners. Seth Hespe won on opening night, while Jailynn Serrano won the second time out. Both Hespe and Serrano are first-time Sportsman Sprint Car winners at Skagit Speedway. Serrano led all 25 laps, holding off second-place runner Jeff Westergard, who never let her out of his sight. In the closing laps, Serrano used a lapped car as a screen, providing herself a gap over Westergard, which also allowed Hespe to sneak by and relegate Westergard to third. Hespe leads the points standings with 229. Westergard is second, nine points back, and Serrano is third, 16 points back.
The Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds also return after last racing on May 9. Cole Logan picked up his second straight win of the year after starting ninth and working his way forward. Logan was third until he passed both Adam Holtrop, who was running second, and Rick Smith, who was leading, in the same corner. Logan pulled away from there and collected the checkered flag. Tyson Blood also charged from eighth and slipped into third late. Logan leads the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds points standings with 118 points. Blood is second, two points behind, and Rory Smith is third, six points behind.

CRSA READY FOR FIRST SUNDAY SHOW OF YEAR AT UTICA-ROME
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – June 11, 2026
The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints return to “The Home of Heroes” this Sunday, heading to Utica-Rome Speedway for round two of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
CRSA visits Utica-Rome for the 22nd time. Last year, Zach Sobotka earned his first series win here, the first of five leading to his 2025 championship.
Here’s a look at the top stories entering the weekend.
Last Week: CRSA hosted its first doubleheader of the season at Ransomville Speedway and Land of Legends Raceway to kick off the DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants Challenge.
Friday at “The Big R,” Spencer Burley passed for the win with 11 laps left, taking his second career series victory on the track where his father, Todd, won four 358 Modified championships in the 2000s.
“This feels good,” Burley said. “I grew up watching him race here and we know a lot of old sponsors here, just family and friends. It’s nice to be able to get it done in front of all of them.”
Saturday in Canandaigua, Zach Sobotka started on pole, lost the lead to Darryl Ruggles early, but reclaimed it on lap seven and pulled away for his first win of the CRSA season.
“Darryl showed me the line for the rest of the race,” said Sobotka. “He was running the top and I was trying not to get any of his air and just diamond off and take the bottom.”
Point Standings: Through four races in the season, Tyler Graves leads the overall points, expanding his margin to 23 over Nick Webb.
Dalton Herrick, involved in a caution Saturday, is now 37 points back but remains third.
A strong weekend keeps Paul Colagiovanni Sr. fourth in points, 51 behind the leader.
Timmy Lotz sits fifth, 84 points out.
Rest of the top 12: Maverick Coffey sixth (-99), Zach Sobotka seventh (-121), Jeff Trombley eighth (-144), Dillon Paddock ninth (-145), Jerry Sehn Jr. 10th (-171), Tomy Moreau 11th (-173), Johnny Scarborough 12th (-184).
In the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, Trombley and Herrick are tied for the lead. Moreau, Dave Axton, and Lotz are all within 10 points after strong Fonda runs two weeks ago.
New Contenders: Due to some of the top drivers participating in fewer races this year compared to previous seasons, several new drivers have emerged near the top of the standings—a place they had not occupied before now.
Tyler Graves leads the points. His worst finish is sixth, best is fifth at Ransomville. Consistency suggests a potential first CRSA win.
Utica-Rome is familiar to him; in 2024, Graves’ No. 25G finished a career-best second there.
Nick Webb, in his first 305 season, has four top 10s in four starts. Moving from crate sprints at Can-Am Speedway, Webb recorded a win at “The Nasty Track of the North.”
Paul Colagiovanni Sr. is enjoying his best points position yet, running fourth. After a tough start, he posted consecutive top-10 finishes last week. His son Paulie, noted for success in 360s and occasionally a 410, also assists as crew and driver.
Finally, sixth in points is Maverick Coffey in the No. 31C Chris Graves Racing ride. It is the first season in a 305 for Coffey, who comes from a background in 600 Microsprints, having success at Limerock Speedway as a track champion in 2024. Through four races in a 305, Coffey’s best finish is a 12th at Fonda this season.
The Zach Sobotka Experience: The day before this race will be the anniversary of Zach Sobotka’s first career sprint car victory, which occurred at Utica-Rome Speedway. That win marked a turning point in Sobotka’s career.
Sobotka has six career wins, two Empire Super Sprints wins and a World of Outlaws top 10—all momentum begun at Utica-Rome.
At Utica-Rome, Sobotka has finished first twice in a sprint car. However, the car was light on the scales after the Sep. 2024 race.
Sobotka set the CRSA record last year for most top fives in a season (19) and, dating back to last year, is on a 13-straight top-five streak, the longest since Trombley in 2021.
The Show Stopper Due Up?: Dillon Paddock has been in a new ride early in the season, running Jay Greenfield’s No. 27G while using his own 305 engine.
Through three features, Paddock has two top-five finishes, with his best finish second last week at Land of Legends.
No question, Paddock will be a winner in 2026 and could come as soon as Sunday. Utica-Rome is a track that he has yet to win. Last year, Paddock finished second to Sobotka and in 2024, ran up near the front before a spin ended his chances of a win.
By The Numbers: There have been 18 different drivers who have found their way to victory lane at “The Home of Heroes.” Danny Varin and Jeff Trombley each have two wins here. 49 different drivers have finished in the top five, with Trombley and Jeff VanSteenburg each leading in top fives with 6. Darryl Ruggles has a win and four top fives at Utica-Rome.
Tune In: Watch live action on FloRacing Sunday with Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99/month, track live timing, entries, fantasy, and results on MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com.
From the Frontman: “Now we’re gaining some momentum into the season and it’s great to see four different winners in four races. We hope those that show up early to watch the free makeup of the big block modified race are convinced to stay for the second portion of the card and buy a ticket to catch some high flying winged sprints alongside!” ~ Mike Emhof
Next Week: CRSA gets set for another I-90 Pit Stop Challenge race, this time for a return to Fulton Speedway June 20.

Huge First Responders Night Announced!
Brooks Graphixs First Responder Night at BAPS Motor Speedway
is set to be one of the season's most meaningful nights as racing and
community support come together on Friday, Aug. 29. Fans will enjoy a huge
night of action featuring Super Sportsman, Late Models, PASS Sprint Cars,
and Extreme Stocks, with racing beginning at 7 p.m.
The evening will also give seven local fire companies an
opportunity to raise money for their departments thanks to the support of
White Rose Safety and Glick Fire Equipment Company. Fire companies will sell
grandstand tickets leading up to the event and will be able to keep anywhere
from $1 to $1,500 in proceeds to support their departments and continue
serving their communities.
Participating departments include the Newberry Fire
Department, Goldsboro Fire Department, Lisburn Community Fire Company,
Strinestown Community Fire Department, Susquehanna Fire Company No. 1,
Fairview Fire Department, and West Manchester Township Fire Department. The
night is designed not only to recognize first responders, but also to
directly give back to the departments that work tirelessly to protect the
region.
“The excitement surrounding this event continues to grow
every single day, and to see so many local businesses, organizations, fire
companies, and community members pouring into this event is truly special,”
said Kolten Gouse. “This night is about much more than racing — it’s about
supporting our local heroes, giving back to the community, and creating an
atmosphere that brings people together for something bigger than ourselves.”
Project Fire Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
bringing joy and support to children battling critical illnesses, will also
take part in the event. During intermission, Project Fire Buddies will
conduct a special helmet collection to help continue their mission of
supporting families and children facing difficult medical challenges.
Thrivent Financial will also be participating in Brooks
Graphix First Responder Night. Mike Gallagher and his team at Fusion
Financial Group will be in the courtyard facilitating the packing of 100
personal home safety fire kits. Please join them in filling a kit. These
kits will be distributed throughout the local community. The effort aims to
help families improve fire safety awareness while continuing to provide
important resources to area residents.
Mike and his group have been strong supporters of both the
speedway and the local community for years. Their willingness to continually
step forward and support events like this promoting community, generosity,
and positive impacts on others is what they are all about. Mike recently
shared, “At Thrivent, we are all about generosity. Our team strives to find
ways to help those in need, give back, and promote improving the lives of
those around us. We are pleased to be a part of this great event and bring
our resources together for good!” Make sure to visit their both for your
free Live Generously T-shirt.
Before racing begins, kids attending the event will have the opportunity to enjoy several family-friendly activities in the courtyard area. Children can receive fire hats, temporary tattoos, stickers, and coloring pages while interacting with local first responders and learning more about the fire service community.
Brooks Graphixs First Responder Night promises to be much more than just a race night. It will be an evening centered around honoring those who serve, supporting local fire departments, helping children in need, and bringing the community together for a memorable night at the speedway.

Tri-City Raceway Park to Host the Andy & Billie Lutz
Memorial at the 2026 Summer Sizzler
Franklin, PA – Racing history will come alive on Friday, July 24, 2026, when
Tri-City Raceway Park hosts the Andy & Billie Lutz Memorial. As the
centerpiece event of the annual Summer Sizzler, featuring the FAST 410
Sprint Car Series, this evening serves as a dedicated tribute to a family
whose work and passion helped shape grassroots motorsports in Western
Pennsylvania.
Andy Lutz established himself as a highly respected competitor over a six-decade career ending with 404 wins. He earned his place in regional record books by capturing championships at Mercer Raceway, Tri-City, Blanket Hill, North Hills, Hickory, and Sportsman Speedway, including a notable run through the late 1970s and the 1973 Sportsman Speedway title. Winning across multiple divisions—including Claimers, Coupes, Six-Cylinder Modifieds, and Sprint Cars—he raced alongside respected local figures like Vic George, Tom Marshall, Paul Brown, and Russ Woolsey.
Billie Lutz was an equal partner in these achievements, serving as a mechanic, manager, builder, and pioneer. Highly regarded for her hands-on leadership in the pit area, she was named Mechanic of the Year at Mercer Raceway in 1977 and co-built multiple championship-winning engines. She was also the mechanical mind behind the family's recognizable yellow #86 race car. Beyond the garage, her leadership extended to managing Expo Speedway and the Trumbull County Fair, as well as serving as the General Manager of Tri-City Raceway for three seasons in the late 1970s. Together, the Lutzes formed one of the most dedicated husband-and-wife teams in short-track history. Their Schuller/Lutz team achieved 49 feature victories through shared mechanical skill and a strong work ethic. Andy frequently noted that his proudest achievement in the sport was watching his son, Mike Lutz, follow in his footsteps to become a standout driver.
To honor his parents’ contributions to the sport, Mike Lutz is personally adding a $1,600 bonus to the winner’s share, bringing the total top prize to $8,600. In a thoughtful nod to his mother’s iconic #86 car, he is also adding an $86 bonus to every single finishing position down the line. With these high stakes on the line, and for the 410 Sprint Cars that evening, an excellent field of competitors is expected to attend.
Drivers expected include Jeremy Weaver last year Summer Sizzler winner, Brandon Spithaler and AJ Flick, both have FAST series victors at the half-mile oval. They are expected to contend alongside regional standouts and local favorites, including Michael Bauer, Ricky Peterson Jr., Tyler Gunn, Jordan Ryan, Cole Duncan, Lance Heinberger, Bob Felmlee, Jack Sodeman Jr., Matt Farnham, Adam Kekich, Logan McCandless, Brandon and Brent Matus, and Carl Bowser. This marks the second FAST Series stop at Tri-City this season, making the July 24th memorial a highly anticipated and competitive evening.
An event of this scale relies on the support of local businesses and sponsors who value regional racing history. Cash contributors supporting the event include Simcox Grinding & Steel, GreenSupreme.net, Superior Tank & Trailer, Kerrs Automotive, Milk Barn, and Sniezek Cabinets at the $500 level. Kings Sanitary & King Bros. are providing $300 alongside the First-Place Trophy, with Larson Trucking contributing $250. Additional support is provided by McMillan Honey with a $25 contribution and honey.
A comprehensive selection of contingency awards and product giveaways has been assembled for the racing teams: OMI is providing four torsion bars, while Indy Race Parts and Momentum Suspensions are offering a Benic Enterprise $86 certificate. Matus Motorsports has contributed a front wing, and Wing Dynamics is providing two front wings. Catch Fenced is offering a full roller for any crash, Intense Fabrication is supplying nerf bars, and Bailey Racing Products is providing $300 off frame repair. Additionally, Big Daddy Speed Center is providing a $100 certificate, and Justin McFadden is supplying a pair of racing gloves. Additional trackside support and prizes are provided by Two 7 Manufacturing, Rock Screen Clamps, Steering Locator, McCool Sports Wear, and 8740 Suspension.
Mike Lutz continues to welcome marketing partners and product donations to further support the participating race teams. Those interested in contributing to this memorial event can reach out directly via Facebook Messenger.
“This is about honoring my parents,” Mike Lutz stated. “They lived and breathed this sport. Mom could tune an engine better than most guys with 20 years in the pits. Dad raced hard, won clean, and loved every second of it. This race is for them—and for everyone who remembers what real short track racing is all about.”
A clear breakdown of the base purse alongside the Lutz
family bonuses shows how the high-stakes payout is structured for every
single finishing position in the main event:

ALL STARS HEAD TO SHARON SATURDAY FOR 44TH ANNUAL OHIO
SPRINT SPEEDWEEK; UMP MODS ALSO IN ACTION
By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)…The 44th annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek is set to make a stop at Sharon Speedway this Saturday night (June 13). The All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars will race for $7,500 to-win and will be joined by the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply UMP Modifieds presented by A&MP Electric. It’s Barris Supply and A&MP Electric Night. Warm-ups are slated for 6:30 p.m. followed by qualifying and racing.
The Willy's World Kids Club presented by Millcraft Barns will include games and sensory friendly crafts and will open when the general admission gates open at 4 p.m. Sprint Car racers, Ricky Peterson and Jeremy Weaver, will be the drivers of the week that will be signing autographs and participating in the Kids Club activities. Sharon Speedway is a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Friend Venue; information is available at the Kids Club site behind the main grandstand building.
Saturday's Ohio Speedweek event will mark the first appearance by the All Stars at Sharon in nearly three years since the “Lou Blaney Memorial” on July 8, 2023. Ohio Speedweek will feature eight nights of racing at eight different tracks over nine days with Sharon being stop number two on the grueling swing through the Buckeye State. A $13,555 points fund paying the top 10 in points is on the line with $5,000 to the champion.
After a five-year absence, Ohio Speedweek returned to Sharon in 2010 as hall of famer Tim Shaffer was victorious. In 2011, it was hometown favorite Dale Blaney winning the Sharon leg of Speedweek over a 45-car field. In 2012, in a stunning turn of events, local racer Brandon Matus came out victorious for his first career win with both the All Stars and at Sharon as 43 cars were on hand. The 2013 and 2014 events fell victim to Mother Nature. In 2015, Dale Blaney won his second Speedweek race in three events at Sharon. Bryan Clauson topped a 51-car field in 2016 winning his first career All Star race before tragically losing his life in a racing accident later in the summer.
In 2017, Kyle Larson scored a popular win over a big field of 48 cars. Larson's bid for two straight Sharon Speedweek wins failed when Christopher Bell made a late race pass to win in 2018 with 48 cars on hand. The 2019 Speedweek show was rained. In 2020, the "Lou Blaney Memorial" and Justin Snyder's "Salute to the Troops" events fell under Speedweek due to the COVID-19 pandemic as Cale Conley and Larson were victorious. Danny Dietrich won his first career Sharon race in 2021 topping a huge 53-car field. NASCAR Cup racer, Christopher Bell, won his second Sharon Speedweek race in 2022. The 2023 event was rained out. Dietrich won another Sharon Speedweek event in 2024, this one under the FAST banner, beating a 55-car field- the biggest since Speedweek became a regular stop once again in 2010. The 2025 event was rained out.
Speedweek always brings a diverse field of competitors from all over the Northeast and Midwest, Australia, Canada, and beyond. Kalib Henry currently leads the All Stars points over Cale Thomas. Central Pa's Danny Dietrich is looking to win another Sharon Speedweek race on Saturday. The average car count since Speedweek returned to Sharon in 2010 is 46 cars per event!
Sharon has completed just one “410” Sprint Car event during the rain-plagued 2026 season. Logan Wagner scored the win during the Western PA Speedweek event on May 30 in his first ever start at the track as he topped a 40-car field for the $5,500 victory. Local racers Carl Bowser and Brandon Matus reached the frontstretch podium in second and third respectively.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply UMP Mods are slated for what will be their second of 11 visits during 2026 on Saturday night. Special thanks to A&MP Electric, Holbrook Sewer & Excavating, and Wedge Motorsports for their support of the UMP Modified division. Saturday's event will pay $1,000 to-win, $100 to-start and is also part of the Local’s Cup program.
This past Saturday saw Eric Wilson capture his first UMP Mod win at Sharon adding to his five prior victories that occurred in the RUSH Late Model and Econo Mod divisions. It was a meaningful $1,000 victory for Wilson, which came in the Tessean #10, as he dedicated the victory to the late Tubby Tessean, who passed away during the winter. Wilson edged out Ty Rhoades and Coleton Longwell that featured a three-car battle for much of the event.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award to the UMP Mods. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finished highest in the feature.
One-way driver radios are mandatory; channel 454.000. AMB/MyLaps transponders are required; rentals available for $25. If you have yet to register for the 2026 season, please bring the registration form completed with you: https://www.sharonspeedway.com/downloads/get.aspx?i=1006835
Fans can not only experience viewing from the frontstretch and backstretch grandstands, but also from the infield fan zone, which includes concessions and restrooms. Sharon is the only track in the area to have viewing from the unique infield perspective. There will be times throughout the night when fans can cross on the frontstretch back and forth.
Pit passes will go on sale at 3 p.m. and general admission tickets will go on sale at 4 p.m. Warmups for the All Stars is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. followed by qualifying and racing. Reserved and general admission tickets for those 14 and over is $25. Patio seats are sold out. Children under 14 and parking are always FREE. Pit passes are $40. Tickets will be available at the gates on race day. A camping permit is $25 and must be reserved through the following link: www.simpletix.com/e/rv-trailer-tent-camping-tickets-252429. As a reminder, coolers nor outside food or beverages are not permitted.
A four-division “Steel Valley Thunder” program will take place next Saturday night (June 20) featuring the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply UMP Mods presented by A&MP Electric, Gibson Insurance Agency RUSH Sprint Car, Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods, and the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vics. It’s Scout Night with FREE general admission for all scouts in uniform. It’s also $1 Hot Dog Night. Hovis Auto & Truck Supply and Wedge Motorsports Night. Race time is 7 p.m.

Arenz aligns with Outlaws at Plymouth
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 10, 2026 – Travis Arenz entered uncharted territory with his 25T 410 Sprint Car Saturday, June 6, qualifying for his first-career NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series A main in front of a record crowd at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor started the evening off strong as he qualified 10th overall in the stout 33-car field with a lap of 11.567 seconds. After dropping from the third starting spot to finish sixth in heat race number two, the two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champ finished fourth in the Last Chance Showdown to gain a berth in the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event for the first time in his 19-season career.
After rolling off 24th, Arenz’s night came to an early end after contacting an infield tire and flipping in turn two to end with a 24th-place showing.
“We qualified well with World of Outlaws,” Arenz said. “I’ve been working on being more consistent with qualifying, and I've been pretty happy with the results. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep up with the car and track well enough later on in the night, and I made way too many mistakes in the heat and feature.
“There was a decent amount of damage from the accident, but we will get it back together for both Outagamie County and Shawano this coming weekend,” he said.
Arenz is scheduled to return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association action this Friday, June 12, at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. On Saturday, June 13, the IRA is set to head to Shawano Speedway in Shawano, Wis.

Additionally, if a driver who isn’t a full-time World of Outlaws competitor is victorious during the finale on June 20, he or she will claim the High Bank Bounty that offers a $100,000 bonus for a total of $400,000.

Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour makes final season visit on Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…A four division program rumbles into Placerville Speedway this Saturday during the “Prospector’s Pursuit,” including the final 2026 appearance by the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars.
Joining the wingless warriors will be the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. The speedway will be offering $6 Kings Meats Cheeseburgers, while Coors Light and Coors Banquet Beer are also discounted during Happy Hour from 4-6pm.
This Saturday’s show is the final race prior to our traditional one-week break for the annual El Dorado County Fair.
The red clay bullring returns to action immediately after the fair wraps up with $5 Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday June 27th, followed by the always popular Freedom Fireworks event on Saturday July 4th.
The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour presented by Transport Products Unlimited competed at Placerville Speedway in March, an event that was captured by Marysville’s Josh Young over Jacob Tuttle and Heath Holdsclaw.
Anthony Bruno brings the Hunt Tour point lead into this Saturday’s event and will be looking to punch his ticket into CaliDirt.TV victory lane. Matthew Kaiser, Josh Wooten, Carson Hawkins and Tuttle round out in the top five in the championship standings.
The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models make their fourth appearance of the season this weekend. Rod Oliver, last year’s champion, has picked up one win and currently leads the points by 14-markers over Anthony Slaney going into Prospector’s Pursuit.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks have showcased some tremendous racing in 2026 and much of the same is expected on Saturday. Seven-time track champion Nick Baldwin has claimed four wins in six races and holds a 25-point lead over Kevin Jinkerson.

$5,000 to Win Julia Horton Memorial Next for Empire Super
Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Delevan, NY) | After a week off, the Empire Super Sprints
will jump back into action on Friday night at the Freedom Motorsports Park.
In what has become one of the best paying events each year on the schedule,
the Julia Horton Memorial will pay $5,000 to the winner this year.
In the last two running’s of the Julia Horton Memorial, it was ‘No Panic’
Davie Franek who ended the night in victory lane. His two wins at Freedom
put him atop the all-time winners list at Freedom. Albeit a relatively short
history at the track, Franek is the only repeat winner in ESS action at the
1/3 mile oval.
With 5 events complete thus far in 2026, Jordan Poirier is once again atop
the points standings and set to lead a strong contingent of ESS regulars to
western NY this weekend. Franek currently sits second, 40 points behind
Poirier, with Zach Sobotoka third, Jordan Thomas fourth and Matt Tanner
rounding out the top five.
Given his recent success at Freedom, Friday will be a prime opportunity for
Franek to make up some ground on Poirier. Poirier has had mixed results at
Freedom in recent years, with a seventh-place finish last year, a second
place (behind Franek) in 2024 and a fifteenth-place finish in 2023.
Additional support on the night will be provided from Kross Welding and
Fabrication out of Exeter, PA, who has come on board as the presenting
sponsor of the Donath Motor Worx dash.
Pit gates will swing open at 5pm on Friday, with grandstand gates opening at
6pm and racing set to start at 7:30. Adult admission is set at $25, seniors
at $23, veterans and active-duty military $10, ages 9-15 $15 and children
under 9 free. Pit admission is $40, with ages 3-10 $20.

Petaluma Speedway welcomes SCCT for Wings Over Wine Country this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Petaluma, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour campaign rolls on with its first appearance of the season at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday June 13th.
The show dubbed as “Wings Over Wine Country” marks the fourth event for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour this year. It’s the first of two season stops at Petaluma Speedway, with a return visit occurring for the annual Adobe Cup in October.
Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 3:45pm and cars on track at 4pm.
“We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour here at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday,” commented track Promoter Rick Faeth. “It will be our first traveling Winged Sprint Car show of the season, and I know our fans are hungry for it. Hopefully everyone can come out and join us for the night.”
The event at Sonoma County’s longest running entertainment venue is the start of back-to-back weeks for SCCT, as the tour heads for Watsonville Speedway’s “Johnny Key Classic” on Saturday June 20th.
Wings Over Wine Country this Saturday will award $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the 24-car Shop Kyle Larson main event.
Petaluma Speedway is always a welcome stop for race fans around Northern California. The 3/8-mile clay oval routinely yields thrilling wheel-to-wheel competition, as lapped traffic can create some of the most hectic action of any venue on tour.
Auburn’s Andy Forsberg is the most recent winner in Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition at Petaluma, having won the Adobe Cup last Fall.
“I always enjoy going to Petaluma Speedway and hope to see a full house on Saturday with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour,” commented Forsberg. “We’ve been running well, which certainly gives me confidence going into the night. Petaluma only holds Winged Sprint Car races on a limited basis nowadays so that always makes it special to get down there.”
Former SCCT champion Justyn Cox sits atop the standings after the first few races of the season. The driver of the Bates Racing No. 42X is fresh off a fifth-place finish at the Davy Thomas Memorial recently and will look for victory on Saturday.
Tanner Carrick, Austin Wood, Luke Hayes and Colby Copeland round out the top five going into Petaluma Speedway. Dawson Hammes, Max Mittry, Chance Grasty, Cole Croft and Jake Morgon fill out the remainder of the top 10.

Mechanical Issue Forces Danner Out
While Running Second
In His First USAC Silver Crown Asphalt Race
Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway
In the Doran-Swanson Racing #77
MADISON, Ill., June 9 — After battling back from seventh to second, the first pavement USAC Silver Crown race for 24-year-old Briggs Danner resulted in a 10th-place finish when he was forced to drop out three laps short of the halfway point due to a mechanical issue Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway (WWTR) near St. Louis, the fastest track on the series’ schedule.
It was also the first race for a Doran-Swanson Racing entry, which is a partnership between Doran Racing of Lebanon, Ohio, and the Mark Swanson Encore Team owned by Dale Swanson. Dale Swanson is no relation to driver Kody Swanson, although Kody Swanson won the series’ 2021 championship driving for three different teams — Doran Racing, the Mark Swanson Encore Team, and Chris Dyson Racing. The eight-time series champion is not driving in USAC Silver Crown races since he became the series’ director in the off season, but he's still driving in other events, like the Little 500 asphalt sprint car race which he won on May 22 driving for Doran Racing. Doran Binks Racing was the defending winner of Sunday’s race at WWTR with Swanson behind the wheel, and he also won this race in 2022 driving for Doran-Dyson Racing.
Sunday afternoon’s scheduled 66-lap/82.5-mile USAC Silver Crown race on the 1.25-mile paved oval was a companion event to the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 NTT IndyCar series race. Its official name was the Outfront Media USA Route 66 Classic presented by Welsch Heating and Cooling. Danner’s car is sponsored in part by Schneider Recycling and Fuelmart, and it’s powered by a Lanci Ford.
Danner qualified an impressive third Sunday afternoon with a time of 30.958 seconds, just 0.317 off pole winner C.J. Leary’s 30.641. Leary’s run did not break the series’ one-lap track record of 30.239 seconds (148.814 mph) set by Kody Swanson on Aug. 16, 2024 in the Doran Binks Racing #77. That mark is still the fastest official lap ever turned in a traditional USAC Silver Crown car.
Danner had his hands full at the start. Davey Hamilton Jr. and Dakoda Armstrong passed the Allentown, Pa.-based driver on the first lap to drop him to fifth, and then Justin Grant and Michael Lewis got by him on lap three to relegate him to seventh as the pack ran close together in the opening laps and he dealt with the dirty air inherent in such situations.
Brent Yarnal brought out a yellow that turned into a red with five laps down when he crashed into the outside wall in Turn 3. The red was needed to clean up a fuel spill and repair the wall. Yarnal reportedly suffered a fractured rib and ankle and was treated and released from a local hospital.
After three laps under yellow following the red, the green flew again on lap nine and Danner got back to work. It only took him two laps to pass Lewis and Armstrong and move back into the top five, and he was definitely the driver to watch at that point.
He wasn’t done moving up. On lap 14 Danner passed Grant, the series’ defending champion, to move into fourth, and three laps after that he was back in the position he started, third, by passing Bobby Santos III. That put only leader Hamilton and Leary ahead of him, and Hamilton was only 1.434 seconds ahead of him by lap 20.
Hamilton’s day came to an early end on the next lap, however, as he slowed on the backstretch with mechanical difficulties. That vaulted Leary into the lead and Danner into second. By lap 22 Danner was only 1.239 of a second behind Leary.
Danner cut that to under a second on lap 26 when he ran his fastest race lap with a 31.757, which was faster than Leary’s best lap at that time. On the following lap he was only 0.765 behind Leary, and the driver who was third, Grant, was 1.308 seconds behind Danner.
Unfortunately a puff of white smoke appeared at the back of Danner’s blue and orange car on lap 29 while he was second. Wanting the car to sustain as little damage as possible, he brought it to the pits with 30 laps complete.
Danner was one of four drivers to retire with mechanical issues while running first or second. Hamilton led laps two through 20 before retiring. Armstrong was second when he slowed with 35 laps complete. Grant was second when he ran into mechanical difficulties on lap 56. Hamilton ended up 11th, Danner 10th, Armstrong was ninth, and Grant placed eighth.
The race ended one lap short due to time constraints, and Leary won with 65 laps complete. Santos finished second and Jackson Macenko came from the rear to place third and get the hard-charger honors. Kyle Steffens, Mario Clouser, Lewis, and Kaylee Bryson were next in line.
Steffens ran the fastest lap of the race with a 31.460 on lap 51, which was 0.035 faster than Leary’s best lap. Danner was seventh in that category with his 31.757 on lap 26.
Earlier in the day in his first practice session ever at this track Danner was fifth in the single 45-minute practice session with a lap in 31.071 seconds. Wanting to get as much experience as quickly as possible, he ran more laps (27) than any other driver in the session. It paid off with the strong showing in qualifying and in the race.
The race was broadcast on Flo Racing and Amazon Prime.
The next USAC Silver Crown races are Saturday, June 20 at Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway and Thursday, June 25 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in Brownsburg, Ind. The complete schedule is posted at usacracing.com.
For more information see doranracing.com and follow Doran Racing and Briggs Danner Racing on Facebook.
BRIGGS DANNER: “It was a good experience. I think we would have had something for C.J. there at the end; I think we were keeping really good pace and we were in line to give him a run for his money.
“We’re not sure yet exactly what the problem was; we’ll determine that when we go through everything back at the shop.”
What was the biggest thing you learned?
“I was anticipating the draft, but at the start of the race I was surprised at how much more it sucked the car up when there are three or four cars ahead of you.
“I knew it was going to be fast. It actually didn’t feel quite as fast as I thought it would feel, but speed is all relative. It was faster than I’ve ever gone in a race car, for sure.
“Overall it was a real good learning experience. I tried to use practice to get things sorted out, and I was learning every lap of qualifying and the race. I look forward to coming back for the next one!”
Chance Grasty Captures First Career NARC Feature Event
Win
PETERSEN MEDIA- Chance Grasty has been knocking at the door of his first career 410ci win. That finally came to fruition on Saturday night as Grasty stood atop the podium at the conclusion of the David Tarter Memorial in Chico, CA.
“I really don’t know what to say,” Chance Grasty said to the crowd on Saturday night. “Winning a NARC race has been something that I have dreamed of since I was a little kid, so I am really just in awe a little bit, and taking it all in.”
From the get go on Saturday, Grasty showed he would be a player in the feature event as he used his late draw for time trials to time the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in second fastest.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Suisun City, CA driver had some trouble when the green was displayed and fell back to sixth. With the top-six finishers transferring to the feature, Grasty was able to hold on to the spot as he locked into the 35-lap feature event as well as the HD Ti Dash.
Picking up the win in the Dash, Grasty was set to lead the field to green for the 35-lap David Tarter Memorial feature event. Once the race came to life, Grasty was shot out of a cannon as he surged into the lead and set a very strong pace during the opening 12-lap green flag run before the caution flag flew to slow the race’s pace.
Working the high side of the speedway in both turns one and two as well as in turns three and four, Grasty continued to lead the way as he jockeyed through traffic.
A hard charging and red-hot Justin Sanders was able to get the bottom groove working unbeknownst to Grasty, and on the 22nd lap he was able to sneak into the top spot and drop Grasty back into second.
Continuing to hold down the second spot, Grasty took the white flag in second but as Sanders ran through turns one and two he ran into trouble with a spinning lapped car and handed the lead back to Grasty.
A final restart saw Grasty outduel Colby Copeland to lead the final two stanzas and pick up his first career 410ci feature event win.
“I am just really happy with how the night went, and it feels great to get our guys in victory lane,” Grasty said. “I have a great group of guys behind me that work so hard as well as a great group of marketing partners that make this all possible.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty are now set to embark on the Fastest 5 Days through the Northwest which will lead them to Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup.
The action kicks off Thursday night in Medford, OR.

Neal Metal Recycling & Processing Returns as Title Sponsor of the Tom Bigelow Showdown at Winchester Speedway
WINCHESTER, Ind. — Winchester Speedway is proud to announce that Neal Metal Recycling & Processing will once again serve as the title sponsor of the Neal Metal Recycling & Processing Tom Bigelow Showdown, scheduled for Sunday, June 28. The event will feature the stars of the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour competing on the historic high banks of Winchester Speedway.
Neal Metal Recycling & Processing, based in New Castle, Indiana, is a family-owned business operated by President Randy Neal and Vice President Scott Neal. Since its founding in 1973, the company has become one of Indiana's leading recycling operations while maintaining a strong commitment to supporting grassroots motorsports throughout the state.
The Tom Bigelow Showdown honors racing legend Tom Bigelow, one of the most accomplished drivers in history.

The Tom Bigelow Showdown was introduced in 2025 and quickly established itself as one of the premier events on the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour schedule. In the inaugural running, pavement sprint car standout Kody Swanson captured the victory after taking the lead on lap 21 and pulling away from the field for his first sprint car win at Winchester Speedway. The victory was Swanson's sixth career win with the Tour and came during a dominant weekend that also included a USAC Silver Crown victory. Swanson was joined in victory lane by Tom Bigelow following the historic first edition of the event.
Fans can expect a full afternoon of non-wing pavement sprint car racing as many of the nation's top drivers battle for victory on the world's fastest half-mile paved oval.

Paul Nienhiser Wins 6th Race of Season
PETERSEN MEDIA: Paul Nienhiser continued his dominant 2026 campaign on
Friday night with MOWA in Lincoln, IL as he picked up his sixth win of the
season.
“I didn’t draw great for our heat race, but my guys gave me a great car just as they have all year and I was able to pass quite a few cars and earn a lot of points,” Paul Nienhiser said.
Lining up in the eighth starting position for his heat race, the Chapin, IL driver flexed his muscles early on Friday night as he powered his way through the field and recorded a second-place finish.
Sitting as the night’s high point earner after heat race competition, the redraw saw Nienhiser draw the four-pill, which lined him up in the second row of the feature event.
As the team watched the race track to gameplan for the changes that they’d make, they opted to try a few things out of their norm and it worked out.
“We took advantage of Friday night, and tried a few things on our car that we had been talking about and I was a big fan of how it felt,” Nienhiser added.
From his second row starting position, Nienhiser quickly jumped to the cushion and wasted no time racing into the race lead. On the extremely slick surface, Nienhiser kept his right rear right on the wall as he raced through traffic until the track started to take rubber.
Backing off of his torrid pace as he got into traffic, the second-place car did pull up to Nienhiser’s bumper but the veteran hit his marks and cruised to his sixth win of the season. On top of it being his sixth win of the year the victory also marked Nienhiser’s 7th career win at Lincoln and his 35th career triumph with MOWA.
“I feel like I say the same thing each and every week, but I really owe this all to the guys who work on this car week in and week out,” he added. “They make sure we are solid every week and it is paying off.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-11, Wins-6, Top 5’s-6 Top 10’s-6
ON TAP: Nienhiser meets back up with the IRA this weekend as he will be at Outagamie Speedway on Friday night, and Shawano Speedway on Saturday night.

Tanner Carrick Sixth at David Tarter Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA: Back in Chico, CA on Saturday night for the David Tarter Memorial, Tanner Carrick put together a solid night with the Northern Auto Racing Club as he tallied a sixth-place finish in the feature event.
With 27 cars checked into the Silver Dollar Speedway pit area, Carrick got his night kicked off by timing the CVC/Cemex/TC Guide Service backed No. 83T in fifth quickest in qualifying time trials.
With his qualifying effort, Carrick lined up on the front row of his heat race and was able to power into the lead when the green flag was displayed. Leading from start to finish, Carrick locked himself into both the 35-lap David Tarter Memorial feature event, as well as the Dash to set the first three rows of the ‘A’.
Lining up third in the HD Ti Dash, Carrick’s fourth-place finish put him outside the second row to get the feature event underway. When the race came to life, the first 12 laps went non-stop as Carrick ran in the fifth spot.
Moving into third when the action resumed, Carrick slipped back to fourth on the 18th lap as the leaders found the back of the field. Falling back to sixth on a lap 24 restart, Carrick got into fifth on a green-white-checkered-restart but on the white flag lap he once again found himself back in sixth which is where he went on to finish.
“Overall, we had a good car from qualifying through the feature event,” Carrick said. “A couple restarts didn’t quite go our way, but I was happy with how we felt as we head into this Speedweek.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 23, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 6, Top 10’s: 15
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick is now set for five consecutive nights of racing in Oregon and Washington kicking off on Thursday night in Medford, OR.

Pokorski relishes first High Limit A run
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 9, 2026 – Alex Pokorski and the GR8 Team got their first taste of national touring Sprint Car series competition as part of a three-race swing featuring events with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing and NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series last week in the northern and eastern parts of the state of Wisconsin.
Pokorski made his debut appearance with the High Limit Racing Series at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wis. on Wednesday, June 3. With 32 cars checked in for the evening, the West Bend, Wis. native qualified 14th in qualifying group B with a lap of 13.908 seconds.
After placing seventh in the fourth heat race, Pokorski placed ninth in the B Main to miss out on transferring to the evening’s main event.
One night later, the team ventured to Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis., where Pokorski qualified 21st in the 29-car field in 13.871 seconds. Pokorski then finished seventh in the third heat race before finishing fourth in the B Main to secure his first career High Limit Racing A-main start.
In the main event, Pokorski advanced five positions on the way to a 17th-place showing.
On Saturday, June 6, Pokorski and crew returned to their home track – The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. – to make the team’s NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series debut.
With 33 cars checked in, Pokorski qualified 25th overall with a lap of 11.867 seconds. After placing seventh in the first heat race, Pokorski started fifth in the Last Chance Showdown before dropping back to seventh and missing out on an A-main berth by three spots.
“The B main was a lot of fun in the High Limit event at Gondik Lawin Superior,” Pokorski said. “We got the car more comfortable early in the night, but had to change a wing slider valve after hot laps and then didn’t have time to add fuel, so I was sputtering a bit in qualifying. These High Limit shows move quick, really quick. The High Limit staff was very impressive and kind. I’m looking forward to racing with them again.
“We started one position from an A-main transfer spot in the B with the Outlaws on Saturday at Plymouth,” he said. “However, I wasn’t able to find a comfortable line to move forward and ended up dropping back a couple spots. With our first few national events under our belt, I’m looking forward to racing with the Outlaws again at Cedar Lake in a few weeks.”
After a couple of weekends off, Alex and the GR8 Team will head to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for a pair of NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series events on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27.
World of Outlaws races are streamed live on dirtvision.com

Kyrsten Shiffer have announced that grandstand general admission is

to the action, pit passes will be available for $35.00.
This marks the third time the Shiffer family has opened the grandstands for
free to show their gratitude to the local racing community.
"Our fans are the heartbeat of Tri-City Raceway Park," said Josh and Kyrsten
Shiffer. "We love seeing the grandstands packed with families and friends
enjoying a night out together. This free grandstand night is our way of
saying thank you for making this track such a special place to be every
single week. We want a full house because these drivers are ready to put on
a fantastic show for everyone."
Adding to the excitement, this week's purses have been increased across the

Here is a look at the storylines heading into this Friday
night of 4-Star Racing:
Hovis Auto & Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars
Tri-City hosts its 490th 410 Sprint Car race on the famous half-mile track.
All eyes will be on Brandon Spithaler, who enters the night riding a wave of
momentum with back-to-back feature wins. Meanwhile, the battle for the track
championship is heating up. Veteran Bob Felmlee currently holds a 12-point
advantage over Brandon Matus in the standings. With a bigger paycheck on the
line, expect a great battle at the front.
RK Virgile Iron & Steel Pro Stocks
It is a family affair in the Pro Stock division. Last Friday night, Jake
Whitling broke through to capture his first career feature win. He joins his
father, Bobby Whitling, who already has two victories under his belt out of
the three races run so far this season. The Whitling family is currently
undefeated this year, and the rest of the field is hungry to break their
streak.
21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars
The biggest question in the pit area right now is simple: Can anyone slow
down Blaze Myers? Myers has been unstoppable, winning eight of the last nine
feature events. He continues to add to the track record books with every
single victory, bringing his current division total to an incredible 19
wins.
Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars
The winning streak is over, but the rivalry is just getting started. Last
week, Billy Myers Sr. drove into victory lane, snapping William Baker's
dominant five-race winning streak. The triumph marked the 5th career
division win for Myers Sr., placing him just one checkered flag behind Baker
on the all-time list.

Jace Park to take on Outlaws at Knoxville Raceway
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (June 8, 2026) - Jace Park and Jace Park Racing are ready to battle the best, set to rejoin the Greatest Show On Dirt in a two-day invasion of the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday, June 12-13.
Park, a regular fixture at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, is certainly no stranger to the Greatest Show On Dirt, highlighting his last two-day appearance with back-to-back A-Main starts, all of which led with a 13th-place score on Friday, April 24; he started in the exact same position. The Overland Park, Kansas, native is currently seventh in the track’s championship standings, scoring a pair of top-fives to date with a best fourth-place outcome on Saturday, May 2.
“We had some speed with the Outlaws this year, but we’re always working to improve,” Park, powered by Associates Insurance Group, Impact Signs/Awnings/Wraps, Adki Landscaping, FinanciaLife Outfitters, Clem Helmets, Maxim Racing, Weld, Flying A Motorsports, Schoenfeld Headers, and Allstar Performance, said. “Hats off to my team. They’re the backbone of this entire operation and I couldn’t be where I am without them. The goal is to put on a show this weekend. The potential is there, we just have to put it all together. It should be an exciting two days.”
ON DECK:
Jace Park and Jace Park Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with a

Dakota Albright 3rd at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Shedding the wings and heading to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Dakota Albright had another good showing at the famed ¼ mile bullring as he picked up a third-place finish in the feature event.
“We had a pretty good car all night on Saturday, but in the feature, I just couldn’t get going on the cushion like I normally am able to and didn’t have anything for the leader,” Albright said.
Running a draw show format on Saturday, Albright lined up on the front row of his heat race. When the Ed Entz green flag flew, the Waterford, CA driver was hard on the throttle as he powered into the early lead.
Never looking back, Albright picked up the win which put him in the second row of the impending 20-lap feature event.
As the feature event came to life, Albright jumped into second as he began to chase after the early race leader, Greg Dennett, who set a very strong pace out front. Continuing to run in second, Albright soon found himself in a spirited battle with Matt Land as the duo jockeyed for the second position.
Losing the spot briefly on the 10th lap, Albright was back in second on the 11th lap but the war still waged on. With Dennett out of the picture, Albright had his hands full with Land. In the race’s closing laps, Land was able to get the second spot for good as Albright closed the night out on the podium with a third-place finish.
“I was really trying everything I could to keep pace with Greg Dennett but he was a much better car on this night,” Albright said. “I had some fun battling for second and just lost the spot there at the end of the race. Thanks to my guys for always working hard, and our partners for supporting our racing efforts.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright will be idle the next two weekends before returning to action on the 27th at Merced Speedway.

Estenson Joining High Limit Racing This Thursday at Shelby County Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (June 8, 2026) – With Mother Nature wiping out Tim Estenson’s racing plans last weekend, his season opener is now scheduled for this Thursday.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver plans to kick off the season on Thursday at Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing.
“I’m excited and I’m nervous because I don’t have any laps this year or many in more than a year,” he said. “Once I hop back in, I’ll be locked in and I think I’ll feel comfortable after hot laps. The biggest thing is to shake the car down, log every lap and try to make the show.
“If we can make the show and move forward and get close to a top 10, I think that’d be huge for us. We just need to keep our nose clean and stay out of trouble and hopefully it will fall into place.”
Estenson has raced at Shelby County Speedway four times in his career. He placed 11th during his debut in 2023 before recording a fifth-place result later that season during the Cyclone Classic preliminary night. Estenson was victorious the ensuing night and he duplicated that success during the one-day event in 2024.
“We won the Cyclone Classic back-to-back years there,” he said. “We’ve definitely had really good success. We’ve always rolled out of the box there with speed no matter what time of year. We’ll have some good notes and hopefully we can use that to our advantage.”

Arai offers a variety of helmets for different riding styles and purposes, from motorcycle to automobile. For more information, visit http://www.AraiAmericas.com.
“I’ve been using Arai Helmets since 2018,” Estenson said. “They are super comfortable. I took a big hit a couple of years ago. I was wearing an Arai and the helmet did its job of protecting me.”
Estenson would like to thank Estenson Racing, Truline Logistics, Arai Helmets, JDP Electric, JDP Automation, Wurth USA, Mecum Auctions, AR Fabrication, Stumpy’s Graphics and Backlund Plumbing for their continued support.
Mallett Excited for ASCS National Tour Show in Home State This Saturday
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (June 8, 2026) – Jordon Mallett will tackle an ASCS National Tour race in his home state of Arkansas this weekend.
Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove hosts the marquee event on Saturday.
“We feel good going into it,” said Mallett, who drives for A.G. Rains. “I wasn’t very good there last year. I was a little off and got us buried in a hole. They’ve made some changes to the place as far as the surface so I’m eager to get back there to see the improvements they are actively making. Plus, it’s close to home and we get to have a bunch of friends and family come out.”
The dirt oval is only an hour and a half away from Mallett, who has five career starts at the track. He was victorious in 2024 and posted a 10th-place finish last season. Mallett ran fifth during his debut at the track in 2012 before recording results of seventh in 2021 and fourth in 2022.
“I feel we’ll have good speed,” he said. “It’s about if the cards fall our way.”
Mallett is riding a string of six straight top-five finishes. Saturday’s show will be his first race since May 16 as the weather has halted all seven races he’s had scheduled since that date.

Starks Sets New Track Record and Scores First 410 Victory of Season at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (June 8, 2026) – Trey Starks accomplished a special feat last Saturday at Skagit Speedway, where he opened the night by establishing a new track record in the 410ci winged sprint car division before ending the evening by winning the main event.
“After we had the pit meeting the sky opened up and it started coming down pretty good,” he said. “Since David (Gravel) set the track record in 2019, I can’t remember a night when the 410s have been close to the track record. When we ran our hot lap session and saw we were a 10.6, I thought it was doable. We put all our effort into making the fastest lap we could because track records are hard to come by. I focused on hitting two really good laps and thankfully we were able to get under the track record and grab quick time. That was really special as now we have both the 410 and 360 track records at Skagit.”
Starks followed his record qualifying lap of 10.534 seconds by maneuvering from fourth to third place in a heat race to advance into the feature redraw.
“We finally got a good redraw and on the front row for the feature,” he said. “I wanted to get a good start and felt I was in the preferred lane on the outside. I knew the pace would be fast and traffic would come quick. I wanted to have control of the race and be smart in traffic. The track was really fast and a little rough, but not too bad given the conditions. You could get yourself in trouble by being too aggressive so I tried to race smart.”
Starks led the distance of the race to increase his lead in the championship standings to 42 points.
“To score that first 410 win of the year was really good, especially with it being the last 410 race at Skagit going into Dirt Cup,” he said.
It also marked the 11th straight top-five result to start the season for Starks, who is one top five away from tying his career-best start to a year.
Starks plans on returning to Skagit Speedway this Saturday followed by a trip to Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash., on June 15 for a NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series race.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Post Top 10 at Angell Park Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (June 8, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel capped last weekend with a sixth-place outing at Angell Park Speedway.
Gravel was second quick in qualifying before he placed third in a heat race. He gained a pair of positions in the main event to place sixth, which was his 23rd top 10 of the season.
The weekend got off to a rough start with a rainout last Friday at Hartford Speedway in Hartford, Mich., followed by a DNF on Saturday at Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. Gravel was quickest in qualifying before he finished second in a heat race. He won the dash to garner the pole position for the main event, which he led for the first 24 laps. After briefly being passed for the top spot on Lap 25, Gravel reclaimed the point position on the ensuing lap and he led for two more circuits before a rut in turn four forced his car into the wall. The contact resulted in a damaged rear end, ending the night early for the team’s second DNF of the season.
Big Game Motorsports will compete at the Eagle Nationals this Tuesday at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb., with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing before heading to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday for the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash with the World of Outlaws.
Gravel last competed at Eagle Raceway in June 2017, when he recorded a result of seventh place. He has finishes of second, first and fourth, respectively, at Knoxville Raceway this season.

Brown scores top-five at Knoxville; Major week ahead including WoO doubleheader at the Sprint Car Capital
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (June 8, 2026) - “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing were nearly flawless in their Saturday night visit to the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, activating the Saturday, June 6, program with “Quick Time,” followed by a heat race victory and an eventual A-Main top-five. Brown, who calls Grain Valley home via Higginsville, Missouri, finished fifth in his top-five appearance, climbing ahead four spots from row five. The top-five propelled Brown’s stat card to ten top-tens on the season, six of those accomplished within the top-five.
If all goes according to plan, and should the weather cooperate, Brian Brown, powered by Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, and Ditzfeld Container Service, will continue his 2026 campaign with a major slate through the Hawkeye State, set to join High Limit Racing in a visit to Shelby County Speedway on June 11, followed by a World of Outlaws | Knoxville Raceway doubleheader on June 12-13. The visit to Shelby County, a High Limit Midweek Series program, will be a last minute decision.
Certainly no stranger to the Greatest Show On Dirt, Blackjack has amassed four top-tens this season, one inside the top-five, all accumulated in just ten A-Main starts.
“A solid night at Knoxville. Unloaded quick and felt pretty good all night,” Brown was quick to note. “They drew a ‘10’ for the feature so we had to line up ninth. Got a pretty good jump at the beginning to get to fifth or sixth. Another restart allowed us to get by one or two more guys. Ended up climbing our way to second, but as the fuel load wore down, my car became a little less maneuverable. That allowed a few of those cars to get back by.
“Overall, a huge improvement from the week before. We’re definitely on the right path. Looking forward to two more nights at Knoxville this weekend with the World of Outlaws. We’re going to keep an eye on the weather and if things work out, we may pick up a midweek show at Shelby on Thursday.”
ON DECK: Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with a High Limit Racing visit to Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, on Thursday, June 11, followed by a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series doubleheader at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday, June 12-13. The visit to Shelby County, a High Limit Midweek Series program, will be a last minute decision.

Landon Brooks 4th at Silver Dollar Speedway with NARC
PETERSEN MEDIA: Back in action with NARC on Saturday night for the David Tarter Memorial in Chico, CA, Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing picked up their second Top-5 of the season with the series as Brooks pocketed a fourth-place finish.
“Saturday night we timed in much better than we have been, and that really makes the rest of the night more manageable,” Brooks said. “We were able to start up front and really mix it up and race in the Top-5 all night long.”
Timing the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Ent./Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in eighth fastest in qualifying time trials, Brooks lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Needing the win to lock into the nightly Dash, Brooks came up just short as his second-place finish put him in the seventh starting position of the 35-lap David Tarter Memorial feature event.
From the inside of the fourth row, Brooks settled into seventh in the opening stages of the race. With the first 12 laps going non-stop, the Rio Oso, CA driver sat in seventh when the first caution of the night flew.
As he remained strong in the Top-10, Brooks worked into sixth on the 22nd lap and then was quickly up into the Top-5 on the 24th lap. Looking like he was well on his way to a fifth-place result as the end of the race drew near, a late restart allowed Brooks to take over fourth on the 34th lap where he ended the night. With consecutive NARC top-5’s under the belts, the team now prepares for their annual Fastest 5 Days Speedweek which leads them to Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup.
“We have been working so hard to get our qualifying package figured out, so it feels good that we are heading the right direction as we head into a really busy stretch of our schedule,” Brooks added. “We had another good run in the feature, and if some things would have played out a little different I think we could have landed on the podium.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

WINGIN’ IT…AGAIN: Reutzel victorious at Dacotah; Eagle, Shelby, Knoxville all ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 8, 2026) - “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) did it again, accomplishing their tenth victory of the 2026 season - seventh on the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing campaign trail - in a weekend visit to Dacotah Speedway in Mandan, North Dakota, on Saturday, June 6. Reutzel, who is currently in charge of the High Limit Racing championship standings, earned his Dacotah triumph from the front row, leading much of the main event after surviving a mid-to-late-race battle with Myerstown, Pennsylvania’s Brent Marks. Impressive enough, Reutzel’s feature score was the icing on what proved to be an almost perfect evening in Mandan, earning the evening’s fastest qualifying time as well as Dash win.
In what was eventually a top-ten triple, Reutzel, powered by Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, and Bargain Barn, opened his recent High Limit Racing stretch with top-tens at Davenport Speedway (Iowa) on June 1 and Gondik Law Speedway (Wisconsin) on June 4, finishing seventh and fifth, respectively. The Clute, Texas, native’s only hiccup of the week occurred at Red Cedar Speedway (Wisconsin) on June 3, suffering from a flat before finishing 11th. As noted, with all results considered, Reutzel remains in control of the High Limit Racing title chase, holding a 13-point margin over reigning Series champion and California ace, Rico Abreu.
“It was a wild week through the upper Midwest, but we wouldn’t want it any other way. Aaron [Reutzel] was dealt some tough hands, and we had some efforts not go our way, but to end the stretch with a win says a lot about this team’s determination,” Ryan Wyant, Ridge & Sons Racing Team Manager, stated. “A lot of racing can be great, but it can also be taxing. We’ll work to pad our points lead at Eagle and Shelby this week.”
ON DECK:
Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing will continue their 2026 Interstate
Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with visits to Eagle Raceway in Eagle,
Nebraska, and Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, on Tuesday and
Thursday, June 9 & 11, followed by a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
doubleheader at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and
Saturday, June 12-13.

Zearfoss victorious in Selinsgrove’s Kramer Kup; To join Clayton Snow in NARC Oregon and Washington invasion
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
JONESTOWN, Pa. (June 8, 2026) - For the second time in 2026, the “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss is a main event winner, scoring the $7,300 Kramer Kup at Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, June 4. Zearfoss, who’s gearing up for a trip to the Pacific Northwest, started second on Thursday’s Kramer grid, jumpstarting what would be a productive weekend in Posse Country overall.
Zearfoss, the ace of his Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, Blue Mountain Wellness, No. 3Z sprint car, raced on to finish sixth in Friday’s Lynn Paxton Classic at Williams Grove Speedway, as well as tenth in Sunday’s BAPS Motor Speedway visit. As noted, the victory at Selinsgrove was Zearfoss’ second win of the season, securing his first at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” on Saturday, May 2. No stranger to the Juniata County Fairgrounds, Zearfoss is a former Track Champion, earning said feat in 2017.
Switching gears in a hurry, Zearfoss will now hit the road, or an airplane in this instance, set to join Clayton Snow for the “Fastest Five Days In Motorsports.”
“A great way to build some momentum before heading west,” Zearfoss noted. “Getting the Kramer Kup win was special. We’ve been digging for another one since getting our first at Port Royal, so I’m happy we were able to accomplish that. Can’t wait to get to Oregon and Washington. We have a monster five days ahead and I’m excited to get started.”
ON DECK:
Brock Zearfoss will continue his 2026 campaign with five NARC King of the
West events in five days, visiting Southern Oregon, Douglas County, Cottage

Busy May Gives Lattomus More Valuable 410 Sprint Car Experience
Lewes, DE – June 4, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus said from the beginning that his rookie campaign in a winged 410 sprint car would be all about seat time—the more laps, the better.
That approach is proving to be the right one in a Central Pennsylvania sprint car scene that offers plenty of speed while also demanding quick adaptation. For Lattomus, the method has been simple: keep racing, keep learning, and focus on the small improvements that add up over a night-to-night stretch.
“In my head, racing 11 times in one month helps me move on from the previous race and start thinking about the next one,” Lattomus explained. “As far as learning goes, being in a car that frequently also helps with minimizing mistakes and learning from them because of those previous mistakes being so fresh in my head.”
Learning Curve: Starts, Restarts, and Early Confidence
Over the course of the month, the biggest gains for Lattomus have come from the areas he and the team have been attacking repeatedly—particularly starts and restarts.
“Towards the end of the month, I started to improve on the biggest thing for us recently, starts and restarts,” he said. “The last couple of races, I felt very comfortable early in the race when previously I did not.”
Lattomus also noted that even nights where the results didn’t match what the team was working toward still provided valuable education.
“The Touring races came with a learning experience, even though I did not qualify for the A-mains,” he explained. “One thing I learned was how tough qualifying is when the best in the world are in town, and how small the gap becomes from being 10th and 20th.”
Tough Fields, Positive Mindset, and Gaining Perspective
Racing against elite competition has also impacted the way Lattomus thinks about performance—especially when things don’t go as planned.
“Another thing is when racing against those guys and not doing well, I had to keep a positive mindset and not get discouraged,” Lattomus said.
When he discussed what has been most challenging about competing against the Outlaws-caliber fields, Lattomus pointed to the same theme as his biggest improvement focus: the early phase of the night.
“The thing that killed me the most, racing against the Outlaws, was starts,” he said. “Everyone is already so good that it becomes harder to pass, especially early on in the night. So after qualifying, I think not advancing on starts was a big one.”
Despite the learning curve, his confidence hasn’t been shaken.
“As far as confidence goes, it hasn’t hindered,” Lattomus said. “But our perspective on it has definitely changed because of what our expectations have become.”
Short-Term Goals and What Comes Next
Lattomus described the team’s near-term goals as consistent runs near the front, with results that reflect the work he’s putting in week to week.
“The short-term goal is top 5s and strong top 10s,” he explained. “I’ve had plenty of opportunities to do that and haven’t always succeeded. But the confidence of being able to do that consistently is there. The more consistent we are able to get upfront, the wins and impressive finishes are coming.”
Adjustments Off the Track: Scheduling and Strategy
Along with development on the race car, the plan has also shifted in how the team approaches upcoming weekends. Lattomus said the Ohio events have been removed from the schedule.
“We are no longer running the Ohio races and plan to stick to the local races that weekend,” he said. “The local stuff is where we can keep building, keep learning, and keep logging laps.”
Speedweek Excitement: Grindy, Valuable, and Worth It
Looking ahead, Lattomus is already focused on one of the most demanding opportunities of the season: Speedweek.
“The 10 nights of Speedweek are always something to look forward to, even though it’s one of the most grueling you can do as a race team,” Lattomus said. “As a driver, and we as a team do it and want to compete because we love it. So definitely excited for what Speedweek has to offer.”
Built With Support in the Pit
Lattomus credits a strong support group for helping him process everything that comes with rookie 410 racing—both on race nights and between events.
“Kyle and Scott have been great,” he shared. “I told Kyle I feel like I need to do a better job of giving feedback on what I feel and what I need. There’s a lot to process and get used to, so I can be good at that. I’ll get there.”
With Scott McClaren handling much of the decision-making and adjustment work from the 358 experience, and Kyle Reinhardt now mentoring after stepping out of the 410 seat, the team is building continuity—translating feedback and seat time into small performance gains that are meant to show up over time.
Upcoming Weekend: More Laps at Williams Grove, Lincoln, and BAPS
Lattomus is also looking forward to a packed three-race weekend aimed at maximizing seat time and continuing the team’s momentum.
Over the upcoming April 25-27 weekend, the team will compete at:
Williams Grove Speedway (Friday)
Lincoln Speedway (Saturday)
BAPS Motor Speedway (Sunday)
“The challenge of putting together the best laps I can in qualifying or in a race is exciting to me,” Lattomus said. “I’m excited about the opportunity I have to race this Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, EZGO Golf Cars, Betts Garage No.91 sprint car. I’m excited because I know what we can and will accomplish eventually.”
Focus Moving Forward
At this stage of the season, Lattomus isn’t chasing perfection—he’s building it. With a clear focus on learning faster, improving starts and restarts, and keeping his mindset steady against tough competition, he’s setting the foundation for the stronger runs he believes are coming.
“I try to focus on the big picture—the learning, the improvements,” Lattomus said. “If I get too wrapped up in results, it can take a toll on my confidence. I just take a day to process our night, put things in perspective, and learn from the opportunities.”
Iowa Lottery extends partnership with Brian Brown Racing, Presenting partner of Weiler Tribute to the Lasoski Family
By Fully Injected Motorsports:

Since its inception in 1985, Iowa Lottery has not only provided entertainment and prizes to its players, but simultaneously played a major role in making Iowa a better place to live, work, and raise a family; raising billions of dollars in contributions to military veterans, economic development, law enforcement, education, and agriculture.

"Through promotions like our current Prize Zone® offer featuring VIP ticket packages to the Knoxville Nationals, we're able to provide lottery players with memorable racing experiences while celebrating one of Iowa's premier events."
Eddie Tafoya Jr. Finishes Third at Perris Salute to Indy
Chino Hills, CA — May 29, 2026 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. scored his
second third-place finish of the season in one of the West Coast’s most
prestigious races, the 73rd Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on
Memorial Day weekend. The finish equaled his best result of the year, which
came in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series season
opener at Mohave Valley Raceway in late February.
In his second race back after hand surgery, Tafoya, 28, was a factor all night long on the famous Southern California half-mile clay oval. He qualified sixth fastest with a lap of 17.126 on the pleasant spring evening. That placed him on the inside of the second row for the start of his heat race. He drove the eye-catching #51T forward to finish second in the eight-lapper.
When the field pushed onto the front straightaway for the main event in front of the best PAS crowd of the season, Tafoya, who lives in Chino Hills, California, occupied the coveted pole position. At the drop of Chris Fulton’s green flag to start the race, Tafoya blasted into the lead and paced the opening three laps.
Never running worse than fifth, Tafoya was charging hard at the end and clawed his way back to an impressive third-place finish. Thus far in eight starts in 2026, he has not finished worse than sixth. He has now placed third twice and fifth and sixth three times each. Those consistent performances give him an impressive 4.875 finishing average heading into June.
“Qualifying was obviously good,” the friendly driver told the fans after the race. “It could have been a tiny bit better but it set us up to be able to start on the pole. It felt really good in the heat.”
“The track was definitely tricky tonight,” he continued. “I was kind of seeing where the grip was at. I was a sitting duck out front and I was trying to figure it out on the fly, making adjustments in the car. I fought my hardest. It could have been a little bit better. We are going in the right direction. We need to be a little more aggressive than we think we need to be on the car.”
Tafoya will return to the sprint car wars on June 20th when the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00.
Adult tickets are $30. Seniors 65 and over are $25. Students ages 13–17 with a school ID are $15. Kids ages 6–12 are $10, and children 5 and under are free. Active military members with proper ID will be admitted for just $5. Parking is $20, and parking payments are by card only.
Advance tickets are available at tix.com. For fans who do not wish to purchase tickets in advance, plenty of tickets will be available at the ticket windows on race night.
The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris, California. The track website is perrisautospeedway.com, and the office phone number is 951-940-0134.

CRSA KICKS OFF DISBATCH/STIRLING CHALLENGE THIS WEEKEND
AT RANSOMVILLE AND LAND OF LEGENDS
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – June 3, 2026
The wagon heads west as the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints host their first 2026 doubleheader to begin an expanded DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants Challenge at Ransomville Speedway Friday and Land of Legends Raceway Saturday.
What began as a three-race miniseries at Land of Legends has grown to include races at Ransomville and The Dirt Track at Genesee, thanks to DisBatch Brewing Company in Macedon and new CRSA partner Stirling Lubricants in Rochester.
After hosting a pair of races last year for the first time, Ransomville Speedway returns with CRSA’s lone appearance this Friday. Last year, Dillon Paddock swept both shows at “The Big R.”
As for Land of Legends, this is the 25th CRSA race to be contested in Canandaigua and the second attempt to secure a series race at the Ontario County Fairgrounds this season. May 9 was the first scheduled race before persistent showers forced a rainout. CRSA will also be there July 2 and Sept. 18.
Last year at Land of Legends, veterans Jeff Trombley and track champion Bobby Parrow scored victories, while defending champion Zach Sobotka became the ninth driver to win in three divisions in track history and the third to achieve it in a 305 Sprint Car.
Here’s a look at the top stories headed into the weekend.
Last Time Out: After two straight weeks of rainouts, CRSA returned to Fonda and a past track champion returned home to victory square for the fourth time in a 305 Sprint Car.
Jeff Trombley went from ninth to first in the opening 11 laps to win the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge opener by over five seconds.
With the win, Trombley tied Mike Kiser and Jordan Hutton for most series wins at Fonda with four and also broke the record for all-time series top fives with 64.
The win was also Trombley’s 17th of his CRSA career, extending the margin on the all-time wins list.
“I miss this place,” said Trombley. “I have a lot of good times out here.”
Dalton Herrick and Tomy Moreau finished on the podium, each rebounding from tough 2025 seasons. For Herrick, it was his first podium since his Skyline win in September 2024, while Moreau's was his first since a third at Cornwall in October 2024.
Point Standings: After two 2026 races, the standings are settling in.
Trombley currently leads by six points over Moreau, who finished second in the 2024 title hunt.
Dalton Herrick, 2022 champion, is third, just nine markers behind.
Tyler Graves, who entered Fonda as the highest-point driver, is now fourth, just 13 points behind.
Nick Webb, a newcomer, is fifth, one point behind Graves.
Timmy Lotz currently runs sixth, 35 points behind.
In his first year in a 305 Sprint Car with prior 600 Microsprint history, Maverick Coffey stands in a tie for seventh along with Paul Colagiovanni Sr., both 54 points behind.
Jerry Sehn Jr. stands a point behind the two in ninth, while son Dustin rounds out the top 10 66 points back.
Kirsten Dombroski and Blake Warner round out the top 12 in points, 115 and 118 points back respectively.
Stopping the Showstopper: While two races in, there is no one better at “The Big R” than Dillon Paddock.
With two wins, an entry for Paddock Friday night would make him the early favorite to win.
Paddock has only run Outlaw this season with CRSA, recording a fourth-place finish in Jay Greenfield’s No. 27G.
At the Weekly Track: Land of Legends Raceway has been dealing with rainouts as bad as CRSA has. Last Saturday, the half-mile facility finally hosted their season opener as Spencer Burley took the win over a 20-car field.
The win for Burley marked his first victory at Land of Legends, becoming the 40th different driver to win in class history. It was also his second A-Main win in a 305 Sprint Car, the first in a 20-lap feature at Woodhull last Fall.
Track champion Bobby Parrow finished second while Dan Craun finished third.
CRSA vs LOLR Regulars: With Land of Legends as a weekly home for 305s, CRSA consistently delivers high car counts, often in the 30s, as seen in past history. Whether it be a driver competing Saturday at their home track or traveling across the state, it’s always a thriller watching a race at the half-mile facility.
Leading the troops for the weekly drivers is back-to-back track champion and DisBatch Brewing/Stirling Lubricants champion Bobby Parrow. It was a five-win season in weekly competition for “BP80” with an average finish of 3.2. In addition, Parrow ended a four-year CRSA winless streak, scoring two series wins at Weedsport and Land of Legends.
While he isn’t a full-timer with the CRSA Sprints nor the Weekly competition, Jeff Trombley constitutes a force to be reckoned with at Land of Legends. Trombley’s last of four wins came last July; another would extend his all-time wins lead with 17.
In addition to them and Sobotka, winning at Land of Legends last year were Lance Dusett, Ethan Gray, Dan Craun, Dalton Martin, Cameron Moss, Steve Glover, Dillon Paddock and Jordan Hutton.
By the Numbers: Examining recent history, the average car count at Ransomville last year was 21.5, with an accident in each feature. Six different drivers have finished in the top five, with four (Paddock, Bailey Boyd, Sobotka, and Darryl Ruggles) each finishing in the top five.
At Land of Legends, there have been 13 different CRSA winners since 2018. Darryl Ruggles leads with five, including three in 2018. Jeff Trombley has four and Alysha Bay has scored three. Seven drivers have recorded their first career win. Dan Craun remains the only driver to qualify for every CRSA A-Main in Canandaigua.
Tune In: Racing will be streamed on both nights—Friday live on Dirt Track Digest TV and Saturday live for free on Land of Legends TV, also simulcast on DIRTVision. Additionally, enhance your race nights at the track or online via the MyRacePass app or www.myracepass.com for $5.99/month, featuring live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
From the Frontman: “We’ve had two great races to start 2026 and hope to continue this weekend. Ransomville and Land of Legends have hosted great races recently. Join us for the DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants Challenge and see what the 305 Sprints are all about!” ~ Mike Emhof

Paul Nienhiser Continues Stacking Wins
PETERSEN MEDIA: Chapin, IL driver, Paul Nienhiser, continues to stack wins. Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway, Nienhiser scored his fifth win of the season before enduring some tough luck on Saturday night with the IRA.
“Friday night my car was extremely good, and after a solid run in our heat we earned the pole for the feature and never looked back,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Saturday night, we had another good car but somehow a radius rod bolt backed itself out and we ended up spinning out and getting forced into the work area.”
Checking in at Jacksonville Speedway on Friday night for a weekly show, Nienhiser lined the AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance backed No. 9x entry up in the third row of his heat race. Having a great car underneath him, Nienhiser carved his way up to finish second.
With the most passing points of the night to his credit, Nienhiser lined up on the front row of the feature event and that was all he needed. When the green flag was displayed to the field, Nienhiser put his right-rear on the Jacksonville Speedway cushion and ripped around the lip for 25-laps.
Leading from start to finish, Nienhiser was the class of the field as he picked up his fifth win of the season in what was his ninth start of the year.
Saturday night the scene shifted to LaSalle Speedway for more IRA action. Timing in fourth quickest in his qualifying flight, Nienhiser lined up on the pole of his heat race and needed to pick up the win to earn a spot in the Dash.
Losing the top spot to Scotty Neitzel, Nienhiser went to work on the top side of the speedway and began cutting into his advantage. Able to power to the lead, and ultimately the win, Nienhiser was safely in both the Dash and the feature event.
Going from fifth to third in his Dash, Nienhiser took the green flag from the sixth starting position in the feature event. Having some things go his way with cautions in the first few laps, Nienhiser was up into third and challenging the lead duo.
Admittedly making a couple of mistakes while working the cushion, Nienhiser slipped back to fifth and then lost the handle on his mount with four-laps left in the race as he had a radius rod back itself out and disconnect from his car.
With the help of his crew, as well as Travis Arenz, and the Neuman Racing crew, Nienhiser was able to restart the race and salvage a 14th place finish.
“Saturday night definitely had a disappointing finish, and it was one of those things that makes you scratch your head as we check and torque every bolt every night,” he said. “Nonetheless, it is part of it, and thanks to my guys and everyone that helped us get put back together and back out on the track. Scott, Zoom, Weston, Caleb, Drake, Tom, and Eldon have really been busting their tails for me the last few weeks with some of the stuff we have been going through.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-10, Wins-5, Top 5’s-6 Top 10’s-6
ON TAP: Nienhiser returns to action on Friday night at Lincoln Speedway for round No. 2 of MOWA action.

Dominic Scelzi Highlights May With Back-to-Back Trips to Victory Lane
Inside Line Promotions – WATSONVILLE, Calif. (June 3, 2026) – Dominic Scelzi recorded two more feature victories and four top-five finishes in the month of May.
The biggest triumph occurred on May 2 at Santa Maria Speedway in Santa Maria, Calif., where Scelzi qualified fifth quickest, won a heat race and placed second in the dash before he captured his first NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series triumph since June 2024.
“I felt like we did everything we needed to do and things went our way,” he said. “We ran second the first half of the race and then we started to pressure the leader. Once we got into traffic, he misjudged a car and got upside down. We inherited the lead and took advantage. It was a great night for us.”
Scelzi backed it up with a victory six days later at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif. It marked his first time with back-to-back wins since August 2023.
“We ran second for the first six or seven laps,” he said. “I was able to get by (Sean) Becker down the back straightaway. He closed the door into turn three and missed the bottom. I was able nail the bottom to drive into the lead off turn four. I felt really good all night and was able to make the most of it.”
Scelzi also produced a fourth-place finish at Watsonville Speedway on May 15 and a fifth-place result at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., on May 16. He capped the month last Friday by racing from last to 14th place in the NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series main event to garner the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
“All in all, I’m happy with the speed we carried throughout the month,” he said. “The high point was the two wins. The low points were a couple of bad finishes with the majority of them coming from part failures and issues like that. I think this month showed we have the speed to contend for wins, but we also have areas where we can improve.”
Up next for Scelzi is a NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series race this Saturday at Silver Dollar Speedway before he heads to Oregon, Washington and Montana for 10 races with the NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series and Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing during the following three weeks.
“I think we’re on the right foot,” he said. “With the car, I feel well rounded and where we need to be. It’s a matter of qualifying well to put ourselves in position. Last year we ended up second during the NARC Speedweek deal. Overall, we were pretty strong. I expect the same and to be competitive.”

LaSalle yields fast start, early end for Arenz
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 3, 2026 – Travis Arenz Motorsports entered Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition with plenty of promise on Saturday, May 30, at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., but mechanical issues left it with little to show for its efforts.
With 37-cars signed in, Arenz clicked off the second-fastest qualifying lap in 11.905 seconds around the quarter-mile high-banked dirt oval. After advancing from fourth to second in the second eight-lap heat race, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver gained a dash berth for the six consecutive IRA event.
A fourth-place showing in the second four-lap dash placed Arenz in the eighth starting spot for the 30-lap A main. However, after completing just one lap, Arenz’s 25T machine suffered a rear-end failure, ending his night with a 23rd-place finish on his stats sheet.
It marked Arenz’s first finish outside of the top 10 in 2026 IRA action.
“The night went decent until feature time,” Arenz said. “Overall, the car was good. I feel I just needed to be a little better. Unfortunately, on the second lap of the feature, our almost brand-new rear end expired, which sidelined us for the rest of the night.”
The team’s plans for the upcoming weekend are to be determined. Check the Travis Arenz Motorsports pages on Facebook and X for schedule confirmation.
The 2026 Travis Arenz Motorsports sponsorship partners include Service One Transportation Inc., Don and Lynn Kiel, Professional Plating Inc., Pfeffer Trucking, Oostburg Concrete, Wittkopf Family Funeral Homes, Carbliss, Pallet Works, Oostburg State Bank, Sonntag Plumbing, Jensen Sales and Service, Fastenal, Roth’s Auto Restoration, Lake Auto Glass, Arenz Auto Detailing, Hair Fellers Barbershop, and Duehring Tax Service.
All IRA events are streamed live on floracing.com.

Brody Roa Shines in Return to Sprint Car Racing With Second-Place Finish in the Salute to Indy
Cypress, CA — May 29, 2026 — In his first sprint car start
in more than six months, 2023 USAC/CRA Champion Brody Roa looked anything
but rusty when the series visited Perris Auto Speedway for the 73rd running
of the Salute to Indy on Memorial Day weekend. The veteran star thrilled the
crowd as he rim-rode his way to an impressive second-place finish.
Roa’s absence from the sprint car wars was caused by something that has plagued many racers in recent months — waiting for engine parts. When the night finally arrived to get back on the track, the 2021 Salute to Indy champion was extremely pleased with the car’s performance. He timed in third fastest in qualifying with a lap of 16.887 on the famous Southern California clay oval.
For his heat race, the 2019 USAC Southwest Champion and 2016 USAC Western States Sprint Car Champion started fifth and stormed forward to score a convincing victory in the eight-lapper.
In the 30-lap main event, Roa rolled off from the outside of the second row. He slipped back to sixth by the completion of the opening circuit but immediately began working his way toward the front. He advanced to fifth on lap three and moved into fourth following a lap-eight restart. After a multi-lap, crowd-pleasing battle for third, Roa finally wrestled the position away.
He appeared destined for a third-place finish before catching a break late in the race when the second-place car suffered an engine failure, allowing Roa to move up one more spot and cap his return with a runner-up finish.
“I think we just missed it (set up) a little bit in the main event,” Roa said after the race. “We put something on the car that we tried a couple of years ago, but it did not make the grip I thought it would.”
“It was good to shake the rust off. Heat race win and second in the main, can’t complain much about that. Hopefully, we can come out next month and knock off a win. The track was a ton of fun tonight. I love it when it is on the wall like that. Lots of new people involved with the team and room on the car for anybody else who wants to be involved in a sprint car team.”
Roa will now enjoy three weeks away from competition before climbing back into the cockpit for the next USAC/CRA Series race at Perris on June 20th.
The following marketing partners have backed Roa for the 2026 campaign. ALR Virtual Services, Biker Bruce, Caltrol, Innovative Sewer Scope and Plumbing, Big Chino Ranch, Molecule, Shaver Racing Engines, Barnes Pumps, and Specialized Coatings. If you would like to get involved and be a partner, contact Roa at the following mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com - 714-932-7994.

Streeter Racing, the familiar No. 14 Midget won the 2022 USAC Western States
championship with driver Michael Faccinto. Graunstadt passed away in August
of 2024.
2025 defending champion Caden Sarale leads the 2026

Last week, Brandon Spithaler claimed his seventh career win at Tri City, tying him with racing legends Steve Travers and George Bishoff for 18th on the all-time win list since 1968. Spithaler is now focused on securing back-to-back wins to build on the momentum from his latest performance.
In the 410 Sprint division, reigning point leader Bob Felmlee will be facing a strong challenge from Brandon Matus, who is eager to narrow the gap in the race for the top position.
In the Pro Stock division, Bobby Whitling continues to dominate, looking to secure his third consecutive win to kick off the season. With an impressive total of 66 feature wins over three decades, Whitling is eager to add to his record. His son, Jake, currently sits second in the standings, with Curt J Bish close behind in third, adding an exciting family rivalry to the mix.
The 21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars will see Blaze Myers vying for back-to-back wins and aiming for his third victory of the season, while Gale Ruth Jr. is determined to have his own success and is looking to add another trip to victory lane.
In the RUSH Stock Cars, William Baker Jr. is the driver everyone is watching, having won five straight races dating back to last season. He’s looking to make it three wins in a row this year, but Raidden Wilson, the defending track champion, is hoping to break Baker’s winning streak after finishing as the runner-up in the last two events.
Owner Josh Shiffer shared his excitement, stating, “Friday nights at Tri City are about much more than just racing; they’re about creating special experiences for our fans.

Dover Venturing to Huset’s Speedway and Eagle Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (June 2, 2026) – Jack Dover is heading to a pair of elbows-up tracks during the next week.
After Mother Nature rained out a Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series show last weekend – the fourth straight rainout to start the year for the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver – Dover looks forward to opening his season with a trip to Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., this Sunday.
“We’ve had an unfortunate start to the season with all the rainouts so hopefully that ends soon and we can make some laps,” he said. “I enjoy racing at Huset’s and have competed there a good amount the last few years so I’m looking forward to Sunday.”
Dover has placed inside the top six in the Huset’s Speedway championship standings each time he’s competed full time at the track. He was fifth last year, sixth in 2022 and fourth in 2021.
Following the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series event on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway, Dover ventures to the track closest to his shop – Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb. – on Tuesday for an Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing event.
“I’m always excited to race close to home in front of family and friends,” he said. “We haven’t been able to race at Eagle a lot during the last few years, but it’s a track where I cut my teeth in my early days of racing. Just like Huset’s, it’s an aggressive track where you have to be up on the wheel every lap.”
UP NEXT –
Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., with the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series and Tuesday, June 9, at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb., with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Record Second-Place Result at River Cities Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – GRAND FORKS, N.D. (June 2, 2026) – David Gravel guided Big Game Motorsports to a runner-up result last Friday done the lone World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series race of the weekend.
Gravel was efficient all night, setting quick time during qualifying before placing second in a heat race, the dash and the main event for his 14th podium performance of the season.
“It was a great night overall,” he said. “We had a car capable of winning and we led a lot of laps, but we just came up a little short. I got a little complacent in traffic. It’s such an aggressive track and it requires you to be on kill every single lap. I passed the same lapped car three times and he passed me back three times. That really slowed down my pace and was the defining moment for me.
“I was bummed I didn’t win. You want to win these races. They’re hard to win. But it was a good night for our team. As long as we have chances to win races, it’s hard to complain.”
Sunday’s event at Nodak Speedway in Minot, N.D., rained out.
Gravel currently leads the World of Outlaws championship standings by 114 points.
This weekend features a tripleheader with races on Friday at Hartford Speedway in Hartford, Mich., for the Pure Michigan Showdown; on Saturday at Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., for the Cheese Town Showdown; and on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., for the Ted Johnson Memorial Race.
“We haven’t been to Hartford in a long time,” said Gravel, who was victorious at the track in 2017 and in 2019 during the two most recent World of Outlaws races. “Obviously it’s a track that’s been good to me, but it’s been a long time since we’ve raced there.”
Gravel finished 22nd at Plymouth Dirt Track last year.
“I’m looking for some redemption at Plymouth,” he said. “We didn’t qualify the greatest and DNFed in the feature so hopefully we can have a good rebound.”
Gravel set a new track record and placed third in the feature last year at Angell Park Speedway.
“The last time we were there it was late in the year and it was cold,” he said. “I believe we broke the track record and had a great car until the feature when we just kind of missed it a little bit.”
Also of note, Gravel has advanced into the World of Outlaws dash 21 times through the first 25 races this season. He has an average dash draw (counting the shows that only have a six-car dash) of 4.76. Gravel has drawn the front row four times and has drawn the last row seven times. The number he has pulled the most is a tie between the No. 3 and No. 8 – four times each. He’s drawn the No. 6 three times and every other number twice.
QUICK RESULTS –
May 29 – River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 2 (1); Dash: 2 (2); Feature: 2 (2).

Estenson Preparing for Two Nights With High Limit Racing This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (June 1, 2026) – Tim Estenson will now make his season debut this weekend when he tackles a pair of Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing shows.
Fresh off a rainout last weekend, the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver heads to I-94 Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn., on Friday before venturing to Dacotah Speedway in Mandan, N.D., on Saturday.
“I’m looking forward to the weekend as I like both tracks,” he said. “You’re getting thrown in with the wolves with our first races being with High Limit. I think the biggest deal is to try to complete every lap and try to get comfortable as quickly as I can.”
Estenson made his debut at I-94 Speedway in July 2023.
“We struggled at the beginning of the night, but come feature-time we started 20th and charged to first before we had a tire go down,” he said. “So we had speed there. We just had an unfortunate situation with a flat tire toward the end of the race.”
Estenson is more familiar with Dacotah Speedway, last competing at the track in July 2021 when he recorded results of seventh and sixth, respectively.
“I raced there with NOSA in 2021 and I think I ended up with a couple of top 10s,” he said. “I’ve been there a bunch of times in legends cars so I’m familiar with the track, but it’ll my first race in a while so we’ll see how it plays out.”

Starks Pushes Top-Five Streak to 10 Consecutive After Two More at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (June 1, 2026) – Trey Starks produced a pair of top fives last Saturday at Skagit Speedway to push his top-five streak to 10 in a row to start the season.
Starks set quick time in both the 410ci winged sprint car and 360ci winged sprint car divisions. He placed third in the 410 heat race and second in the 360 heat race to make the feature redraw. Unfortunately, he drew the largest number – six – both times. That marked the fifth straight race and seventh time in his last eight races at Skagit Speedway that Starks has started the feature on the third row.
“We’ve just been getting killed by the draw,” he said. “No excuses, but it’s really, really difficult with how good the cars are that end up in the top six every night. You can’t try to beat them from sixth every night. Every time we have to start from that third row we spend all race trying to get to the top three and by the time we get there the race is over. It’s the luck of the draw and nothing we can do about it, but it’s tough to do it from back there with that caliber of cars in front of you.”
Starks powered from sixth to second place in the 410 main event.
“We got to fourth fairly quickly and then got a couple restarts that we needed,” he said. “We had a restart around midway and I got into third. We had another restart a few laps later and I got into second. I set my sights on chasing down the leader and waiting to get into traffic. We got close while he was fighting through traffic, but I ran out of laps.”
The strong night moved him into the lead in the 410 championship standings by 18 points.
Starks advanced from sixth to fourth place in the 360 main event.
“It took three starts and an open red before we got a lap in,” he said. “On the one start that went through, we only got into fifth. I passed for fourth about four laps in. After that, the race went green the rest of the way, which is not what we needed. The track was pretty fast around the top so it was get in line and see if guys would make mistakes. They didn’t so we didn’t have much opportunity to move forward.”
Starks holds a 44-point advantage in the 360 championship standings.
He will return to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for a 410 race.
QUICK RESULTS –
May 30 – Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. (410 sprint car) – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 3 (4); Feature: 2 (6).
May 30 – Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. (360 sprint car) – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 2 (4); Feature: 4 (6).

Dakota Albright 7th During First Ventura Raceway Appearance Of Season
PETERSEN MEDIA- Making the six-hour trip south on Saturday night to Ventura Raceway, Dakota Albright was happy with how he unloaded during his first visit to the speedway of the season before he picked up a seventh-place finish in the feature event.
“We haven’t competed at Ventura Raceway in quite a few years, so I was really happy with how we unloaded,” Dakota Albright said. “We timed in really well, but then we didn’t make the changes we needed in our heat and the feature and ended up finishing seventh.”
With 16 cars making the call on Saturday night, Albright got his night kicked off by timing the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35jr in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up fifth in his heat race, Albright didn’t get the jump he had hoped for and slipped back to seventh. Despite his car not feeling how he hoped, Albright was able to make some adjustments to his line and work his way back into the Top-5.
Finishing fifth, Albright earned a spot in the redraw where the five-pill again put him lining up in the third row.
When the feature event went green, the Waterford, CA driver was still a little off even after making adjustments following his heat race. Doing all he could on the small confines of Ventura Raceway, Albright capped the night off with a seventh-place finish.
“It definitely was tough getting back there and making adjustments on the fly,” Albright added. “It is a fun track, and fortunately we were able to learn a ton and put ourselves in a better spot when we get back there later this summer.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.

Landon Brooks Powers to NARC Top-5
PETERSEN MEDIA: Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team showed their resolve on Friday night as they overcame a handful of issues before racing to a fifth-place finish with NARC at Watsonville Speedway.
“Friday night, we didn’t get timed in well, but we managed to run third in our heat race despite breaking a steering box,” Landon Brooks said. “Luckily, I have the best group of guys behind me and they were able to swap boxes, and then fix a few things on our engine before getting us ready for the feature.”
Timing the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Ent./Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 17th fastest in time trials, Brooks found himself in the third row of his heat race.
On the recently reconfigured Watsonville Speedway, Brooks was able to get off to a great start as he powered his way up to third, which is when his steering box troubles began.
Luckily a caution flew and gave him a few moments to rest, and in the final laps he was able to hang on and wrestle his car to a third-place finish.
As he made his way back to the pit area, the Hamilton Racing team quickly went to work on swapping out steering boxes. As they were able to make the swap and fire the car off to check the changes, they then found an engine issue they needed to resolve.
Turning their attention to rectifying some issues with the injection, they were able to again fire off to double check those changes.
With everything back together, Brooks was ready for the feature event where he lined up ninth on a very fast Watsonville Speedway surface. The first half of the race clicked off with no stoppages and when the first yellow flew the Rio Oso, CA driver found himself in seventh.
Dropping back to eighth when the race came back to life, Brooks used another restart to power his way up to sixth. Continuing to hold down sixth as the leaders got into traffic, Brooks made a late move to take over fifth and was able to secure his first NARC top five of the season.
Switching to their 360ci powerplant for Saturday night action, Brooks and company made their way to Placerville Speedway for the Davy Thomas Memorial.
Laying down a very strong lap in time trials, Brooks ended up fifth fastest in his qualifying flight which then placed him on the front row of his heat race. Getting called for a jump in his heat, Brooks was put back into the second row and a fourth-place finish lined him up in the 14th spot in the 30-lap feature event.
With things going his way in the opening laps, Brooks was up into ninth before he moved into eighth on the fifth lap.
A slight miscue on the seventh lap dropped Brooks back to 16th. Once he got gathered up, Brooks was able to move forward as he was up into 15th on the 12th lap, and into 13th at the race’s halfway point.
With five-to-go, Brooks was able to take over the 11th spot and hang onto it as he capped the night off with an 11th place finish.
“We really had great speed on Saturday night, I just made two costly mistakes that hurt us,” Brooks added. “I am really thankful for all of my guys for working so hard over a doubleheader weekend. I also want to thank the Hamilton family and all of our partners for continuing to give us the tools we need to compete night in and night out.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Over $21K Purse Awaits GLSS During Ron Kahle Memorial Friday at Limaland Motorsports Park
Lima, OH - Last week, officials from the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS), in conjunction with Limaland Motorsports Park, announced that the Ron Kahle, Jr Memorial/K&L Ready Mix Clash on Friday, June 5th, would pay a record-setting $6,000 to win. The benchmark winner’s share of the purse had already made the show the richest purse in GLSS history. As of Sunday night, even more sponsors have stepped forward to increase the overall purse to over $21,000 on Friday night.
On Friday, May 15th, the GLSS unloaded at Limaland Motorsports Park for what was, at the time, the richest purse in history with a $ 5,000-to-win affair in the Run for the Rabbit. Mason Hannagan grabbed the win, his first, and joined his dad, Randy, on the list of Run for the Rabbit winners. The Run for the Rabbit pulled in over 30 cars looking for a chance at the increased payday. This Friday, it’s not just the winner’s share that sees an increase. In addition to the $6,000 to win, the race will also pay $600 to start, a nod to the six years since Ron Kahle’s passing.
Sponsors making the event possible include Ohio Logistics Warehousing & Transportation, Miami Auto Paint & Equipment, Tim Goan’s Carpets, Texas Roadhouse of Lima, University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH), and GreatLakesSprints.TV.
Ron Kahle, Jr is credited with being a helping hand for a lot of different things; from motorsports to community, many remember Kahle, Jr for his support. In motorsports, he’s remembered as one of Limaland Motorsports Park’s biggest supporters. He helped make sure 360 Sprint Car Racing stayed relevant in Northwest Ohio for many years. In the community, a Ron Kahle Jr. Memorial Shelter house was erected at Deters Park in honor of his selfless acts around Putnam County and the surrounding areas.
“Ron is deeply missed by so many in the racing community,” said Limaland Motorsports Park General Manager Stephanie Swallow. “His contributions to local, regional, and even national racing are still being felt today. We feel so privileged to be able to honor his memory and legacy with the running of the Ron Kahle Jr. Memorial, and are thrilled to have others step up to make it even bigger.”
The $6,000 to win, $600 to start Ron Kahle, Jr Memorial is Friday, June 5th at Limaland Motorsports Park for the Great Lakes Super Sprints. The event is followed by the one-and-only trip for GLSS to Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday, June 6th. Tickets for the Ron Kahle, Jr Memorial will be available at the gate on race day. Fans who can’t make the trip can catch all the action LIVE on GreatLakesSprints.TV.
Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA – It’s College and Kids at Skagit Speedway this Saturday, June 6, all students with a valid school I.D. get in for just $5, no matter the grade level. The Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars are back, joined by the Midgets and the Hornets. It’s a night of action-packed racing that you won’t want to miss.
The Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars hit the dirt for one final time before the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Through four weeks of 410 competition, there have now been four different winners! Tyler Thompson, Robbie Price, Jesse Schlotfeldt, and most recently, Levi Hillier. Hillier started on the pole and jumped out to the early lead around the topside of Skagit Speedway. Hillier led all 30 laps with little challenge en route to his first 410 win of his career. Trey Starks started sixth and moved his way to second but was not able to get close enough to put a move on Hillier.
Starks takes over the 410-point lead from Price, who moves back into second. Starks leads with 449 points, Price is 18 points back, and Hillier moves into third over Schlotfeldt and is 19 points back of Starks. Starks is the only driver to have a perfect top-five streak going through the first four races of the season. Price, Hillier, Schlotfeldt, Tyler Thompson, and Jason Solwold all have perfect top 10 streaks.
The Midgets return for the third week in a row, and, similar to the 410s, they have seen two different winners in the first two weeks. Alex Peck came from third to beat Shane Smith on opening night for the Midgets, but this past Saturday, Smith started second but moved around Jonathan Jorgenson early and led the rest of the way to pick up the win. The battle was fierce behind him for second and third between Ryan Orchard, Tristin Thomas, and Jorgenson. Orchard finished second, and with a drag race to the line, Thomas beat out Jorgenson for the final spot on the podium. Smith takes over the top spot of the points with 228, Thomas is second, 15 points back, and Randy Schaaf is third, 28 points back.
The Hornets return after a two-week break; their last race was May 16 during Armed Forces Night. Three cars battled it out for the top spot: Howard Vos, Vance Hibbard, and Mike Guffey. The defending track champion, Vos, successfully led all 20 laps; Hibbard finished second, and Guffey finished third. Steve Peters leads the points with 223, while Bryce Kolar sits second, 11 points back, and Hibbard is third, 13 points back.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (June 1, 2026) - A consistent weekend, nonetheless, Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing concluded their May campaign with back-to-back top-tens, doing so at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway on Friday and Saturday, May 29-30. Andrews, powered by Ohio Truck Sales and Real American Beer, finished eighth and ninth in his weekend outings, opening action with solid preliminary efforts.
A frequent flyer in northwest Ohio, the former two-time Attica Raceway Park track champion started Attica’s main event from the pole, opening competition with the fastest qualifying time in his respective group before finishing third in his heat. In addition, the Sandusky ace recorded the third-fastest qualifying time at Fremont, racing on to finish fourth in his heat - he started fifth in the evening’s “A.”
“Starting that far forward, we wanted to stay there, but ending the weekend with back-to-back top-tens is important,” Andrews said. “Hats off to this team. Not the best of luck in some circumstances, and I feel we’ve been better than where we finished, but they keep working and I’m proud of our efforts. We’ll work to do even better and hopefully get our Real American Beer team its first victory of the season.”

Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports gear up for major week with High Limit Racing
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa.

There are a lot of great people behind us. Tony [Vermeer] gives us the tools necessary to be successful. All we have to do is get a little momentum on our side and we’ll be in better shape.”

WINNER, WINNER, MICHIGAN DINNER: Reutzel continues impressive campaign with victory at Butler, Monday Davenport visit launches major High Limit week
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 1, 2026) - Friday’s visit to Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, may have ended on the hook, but “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) rebounded in a hurry, concluding their High Limit Racing weekend with a victory at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Michigan, on Saturday, May 30. Reutzel, now a six-time High Limit Racing winner in 2026, took command of the Mace Thomas Classic on lap 18, securing the top spot after championship rival and race leader Tanner Thorson suffered from mechanical misfortune.
As hinted, Reutzel’s triumph in Michigan was the perfect weekend rebound, as the Clute, Texas, native was unable to finish Friday’s start at Lawrenceburg. Adding to the plot twist, Friday’s “DNF” was the result of contact with Thorson - the two were battling for the runner-up position.
Friday’s misfortune may have taken the points lead away from Reutzel and RSR, but Saturday’s Butler victory propelled the team right back to the top, now with an 11-point lead over Rico Abreu and Tony Steawart/Curb-Agajanian Racing.
“It was a wild weekend for our team, but to persevere like we did says so much,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, explained. “It just shows how determined this operation really is. We’re hungry for a championship and we’re going to do whatever we can to accomplish our goal. We have a big week ahead…a perfect opportunity to extend our championship lead.”

Dietrich ends commitment to PA Posse Series, schedule to remain week-to-week
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (June 1, 2026) - The remainder of 2026 will be a tad different for “Double-D” Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, making the abrupt decision to end their commitment to the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series, and instead, follow a “week-to-week” approach.
The decision to cut ties follows an incident occurring at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, May 30. Dietrich, who was battling midpack, slowed on lap two with a trip to the outer work area immediately following. The team made timely repairs, but an eventual lack of communication between track officials during the aforementioned work area visit led to an eventual disqualification.
“This situation was completely avoidable, and until there’s an actual PA Posse Series officiating crew that can make decisions on behalf of the Series itself, rather than each track doing it their own way, we’re not going to show our support regularly,” Dietrich was quick to pinpoint. “I went to the work area…everything was treated as routine and we were ready to restart, only to be told the work area was closed and I was disqualified. Just a major communication lack. There needs to be a better infrastructure in place - a Series Director working on behalf of the Series and not for the track. That way there’s accountability. A Series at this level, with that much money at stake, needs to be taken seriously.
“We’re going to race what makes sense going forward,” Dietrich added. “We’ll make our decisions week-to-week. If we want to stay home, we’ll stay home. If we want to travel, we’ll travel. Time will tell.”
Despite the issue at Lincoln Speedway, Dietrich’s weekend with the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series opened with a highlight, concluding his visit to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, May 29, with a podium result - finishing third from sixth on the grid - for his 12th top-five of the season. “Double-D” is a two-time winner in 2026, achieving victories at Port Royal and Lincoln.

Sheridan Picks up ESS Win at Ohsweken
By Curtis Berleue (Ohsweken, ONT) | After taking the lead early, Ohsweken
regular Nick Sheridan picked up another Empire Super Sprints win on Friday
at the Ohsweken Speedway. The event was the first of the 2026 Transport
Benoit Lafleur ESS Canada Tour, and worth $2,000 for his efforts.
Ohsweken regulars DJ Christie and Nick Sheridan would bring the field to
green, with Sheridan grabbing the lead early on the high side. Christie
settled into second with Jordan Thomas hot on his heels.
Thomas would slip by Christie on lap two on the bottom, and then immediately
returned to the high side. Using the same slider line, Skyler Evans made
multiple attempts to get by Christie for third, but Christie was able to
tuck back under him each time to hold on to the position.
After a quick yellow for Dillon Paddock with a flat tire, Sheridan and
Thomas again jumped out to the lead with Christie in third. This time,
however, Christie was under fire from Jordan Poirier who had worked his way
into fourth from his 10th starting position.
Another restart on lap 9 yielded much of the same results, with Sheridan and
Thomas out front and Poirier battling Christie for third. Two laps later,
Poirier was able to get by Christie and set his sights on Thomas and
Sheridan.
As he caught lap traffic with only a few laps remaining, Sheridan was able
to keep some distance between himself and Thomas to pick up the win. With a
late race rally, Cory Turner came out of nowhere to get by Jordan Thomas to
finish second, completing a march to the front from his 17th starting
position.
“It was a tough race, I really didn’t think I had the car to win going into
the feature to be honest,” said Sheridan in victory lane. “I saw how slick
it got and I wish I changed some more things going into the feature than I
did, we kind of ran out of time.”
“A few laps in I just trunked the wing and changed some cockpit dials with
the shocks and got the car a lot better.”
Cory Turner picked up the A-Verdi Storage Containers hard charger award on
the night, passing 15 cars en-route to a second-place finish.
“We were not good when we unloaded, went ninth quick and just buried
ourselves in that heat race but we didn’t get down on ourselves, we kept
working,” said Turner. “The track went just the way we like it, no cushion,
slick, run through the middle.”
After running second most of the race, Jordan Thomas came home third
rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.
“The Ohsweken locals are definitely putting it to us here the past couple of
years,” said Thomas. “We’re just really turning our program around with
motor issues at the beginning of the year, now we’ve got that all
straightened out.”
35 cars lined the pits on Friday at Ohsweken, which would split the field
into four timed hot lap sessions. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards
went to Matt Farnham, Darren Dryden, Eric Gledhill, and Dylan Westbrook.
Elab Smokers Boutique heat races were won by DJ Christie, Darren Dryden,
Skyler Evans and Kyle Phillips. The Donath Motor Worx Dash presented by
Goliath Holdings was won by Kyle Phillips, while Jacob Dykstra won the
B-Main.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (June 1, 2026) - For the second time in
2026, St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu is a High Limit Racing main event
winner, doing so in a “Battle at the Burg” visit to Lawrenceburg Speedway in
Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on Friday, May 29. Rico, the ace of the Tony
Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR), Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee
Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom
Trailers & Carts, No. 24 sprinter, led every circuit of the 30-lap contest,
opening action with a heat race victory, to boot.
As noted, the High Limit Racing score was Rico’s second of
the 2026 season and his first since Central Arizona on March 19,
simultaneously increasing his career total to 27. In addition, the
Lawrenceburg win - his second “Battle at the Burg” title in as many tries -
allowed Rico to take command of the High Limit Racing championship
standings, holding a point margin equaling 15 heading into Butler Motor
Speedway’s “Mace Thomas Classic” on Saturday, May 30.
Unfortunately, Rico would be forced to surrender his point
lead the following evening, as an 11th-place finish at Butler - and a
victory by Aaron Reutzel - would ultimately flip-flop their positions in the
standings.
High Limit Racing action will continue later this evening - Monday, June 1 - at Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa - the first of five events in a six-day span for the national travelers.

Jace Park hard charges at Knoxville, set to return June 6
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (June 1, 2026) - Jace Park and Jace Park
Racing powered ahead big in their Friday night 360 Sprint attempt at
Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, eventually translating an eighth row
starting position into a top-ten finish. Park, who has been a regular
fixture at the Sprint Car Capital of the World in 2026, finished seventh in
his top-ten outcome, and with all results considered, the progress was
enough to earn the evening’s Hard Charger Award - advancing the most feature
positions.
Park, powered by Associates Insurance Group, Impact
Signs/Awnings/Wraps, Adki Landscaping, FinanciaLife Outfitters, Clem
Helmets, Maxim Racing, Weld, Flying A Motorsports, Schoenfeld Headers, and
Allstar Performance, opened preliminary action with the tenth-fastest time
in his respective group, racing on to finish fourth in the fourth of four
heats.
Unfortunately, Park was unable to repeat success in Saturday’s 410 Sprint main event with a mistake costing progress. He was scored 24th after starting tenth, contact with the outside retaining wall being the culprit.
“A tough end to a solid night on Saturday, but to do what we did on Friday was a great start to the weekend,” Park said. “Super proud of our team and what we’ve been able to do. Ready to go at it again on Saturday.”

Brian Brown runner-up in Knoxville 360 start, will revisit Sprint Car Capital June 6
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (June 1, 2026) - “Blackjack” Brian Brown
and Brian Brown Racing were just shy of perfect in their Friday night visit
to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, concluding 360 Sprint Car
competition with a runner-up result, leading the first 19 circuits before a
last-ditch effort by Ryan Timms stole the show.
Brown, the driver of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen
Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain
Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, NEFT Vodka, No. 21
sprint car, started from the outside front row, opening action with the
second-fastest time in his group, racing on to finish second in his
respective heat race.
Unfortunately, Brown was unable to match Friday’s level of
success on Saturday, ending the 410 Sprint portion of the Cornbelt Clash
(with USAC being the main attraction) with a 13th-place score; he started
12th.
“A great night on Friday. Had a car that was more than capable of winning, I think I just messed up the last few laps in knowing where I needed to be on the track,” Brown said. “Ryan [Timms] had a great run and was able to get by us. When you’re leading that many laps, it’s my job to get that thing to the finish and get to the finish first. Looking forward to getting back to Knoxville this weekend. We’re going to put our heads down this week and really put the work in. Our goal is to get our Casey’s | FVP car back up front where it belongs.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with a
return visit to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, June 6.

Severe Weather Threat Halts Kibble Equipment Night Early at Huset’s Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (May 31, 2026) – Inclement weather forced Huset’s Speedway officials to cancel the remainder of Kibble Equipment Night on Sunday.

CRSA PREPARES FOR RETURN TO FONDA
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – May 28, 2026
After weather forced a miss last year, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints are ready for a highly anticipated return to the “Track of Champions” at Brett Deyo’s Fonda Speedway Saturday.
This event will kick off the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge after Weedsport was rained out last Sunday.
This is the 31st time CRSA has visited the Fonda fairgrounds. The most recent was July 27, 2024, when Jordan Hutton scored a last-lap pass around the outside of Jeff Trombley for his third win of that year, securing the most wins of any driver that season.
Here’s a look at the news and notes for the weekend.
Last Time Out: For the second year in a row, CRSA opened up its campaign with a trip to Outlaw Speedway.
Mikey Smith led all 25 laps from the outside front row, earning his second career victory.
Smith had sought a win at Outlaw after leading early last October but finished off the podium.
“We had high hopes and fell short [last October], but we came back tonight in the same hope that we’re going to go forward and win,” said Smith post-race. “I’m happy that we showed up and did good.”
Jordan Hutton finished second; Zach Sobotka took third.
Last Time There: It was one of the more memorable races of the 2024 season when CRSA last raced at Fonda.
Blake Warner took the early race lead until, in lapped traffic, Warner’s No. 21B got tight in three and four and slammed hard into the wall, flipping violently and walking away from the crash.
That gave Hutton the lead over Jeff Trombley, with Hutton increasing the lead up to 2.8 seconds in a long run that ended with four to go as Link Pettit slowed.
On the restart, Trombley threw a slidejob to take away Hutton’s line and grab the lead.
Coming to the final lap, Trombley’s No. 3A dropped a cylinder, allowing Hutton to get a run on the top shelf to sneak past and take his fourth win at Fonda.
By the Numbers: Nine different drivers have scored a win at “The Track of Champions.” Mike Kiser and Jordan Hutton each have recorded four wins at Fonda. The most recent first-time track winner at Fonda came in June 2023 when Tomy Moreau found victory lane for his latest CRSA victory. Jeff Trombley has the most top fives at Fonda with 12, including three wins, followed by Kiser and Cory Sparks.
Tune In: Action is available live on FloRacing, with Marty Czekala on the call. Expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com for $5.99 a month, featuring live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
From the Frontman: It has been an ugly month of May on weekends in particular, with Mother Nature ruining our nights. Early forecast reports indicate good conditions to bless us with round two of 2026! Fonda has been a staple on the CRSA calendar in the past decade and we are excited to return there with our 305 Sprints.” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA will begin the DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants for 2026 with a doubleheader at Ransomville Speedway and Land of Legends Raceway. Ransomville can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV, while Land of Legends can be seen for free on Land of Legends TV with a simulcast on DIRTVision.

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA – All-open wheel racing returns to Skagit Speedway this Saturday, May 30, for Birch Equipment night and you won’t want to miss a second of the action. The Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars are back, joined by the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars, and the Midgets!
The Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars are back for a fourth week in a row as anticipation grows and all roads lead towards the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Through three weeks of 410 competition, there have been three different winners: Tyler Thompson, Robbie Price, and, most recently, Jesse Schlotfeldt. It was a busy weekend for the driver of the 21; he started out Friday, May 22, at Douglas County Dirt Track in the 360 Sprint Car, before running double duty (410 Sprint Car and 360 Sprint Car) on Saturday at Skagit. Schlotfeldt was running second to Colton Heath until Heath’s night came to an end early due to contact with another car that damaged his front end. Schlotfeldt inherited the lead and led the rest of the way en route to his first win of 2026. Price leads the points with 336, Starks remains second in points, only five points back, while Schlotfeldt moves into third, 16 points back.
The dominance of Trey Starks in the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars was halted at three wins in a row after Heath took the checkered flag on Saturday night. Levi Hillier sprang out to the early lead before Heath got around him on the topside of the speedway and never looked back. Starks continues to lead the points with 478 total points, Heath is second, 47 points back, and Schlotfeldt is third, 77 points back.
This Saturday marks the second race of the 360 Summer Challenge Series, an eight-race series split between Skagit Speedway and Grays Harbor Raceway. What was supposed to be the second race of the series got rained out at Grays Harbor Raceway on May 16. Through one race, Starks leads the points with 124, Heath is second, 12 points back, and Cam Smith is third, 19 points back.
The Midgets are back for their second weekend of racing after an entertaining opening night. Alex Peck was successful in finding victory lane from his third-place starting position after moving around Shane Smith for the top spot. Peck was able to run a lane up from Smith, who was on the bottom, and he powered around him on the outside with under 10 laps to go. Peck leads the points with 114, Nick Evans sits in second just one point behind, and Smith is third, four points behind.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2026
Maddington Toyota will continue to be the naming rights sponsor for sprintcar racing in Western Australia for another three years.
Sprintcar Entrants Group chairman Geoff Kendrick and Maddington Toyota dealer principal Paul Davies confirmed the sponsorship extension at the annual awards night for the series, at Fraser’s Perth, last Saturday night.
Geoff thanked Paul and everyone involved in the company for their ongoing support of sprintcar racing.
“The support from people like Paul is the reason why the series is achieving so much,” Geoff said.
“These guys have been there to help, they have always put in a lot of money, effort and time – and we are creating things above and beyond the visions that anyone thought we could ever do.
“With the support of Maddington Toyota we are going forward and we are going to keep knocking on doors to make this happen for our sport.
“Paul and I have had a long association, being great mates and working together for about 35 years.
“We have spoken many, many times about the longevity of Maddington Toyota’s involvement in our series – as long as it is fruitful for the dealership.”
The new deal will see increased support for the series, which Geoff said was “sensational”.
He said the Maddington Toyota sponsorship was not only great for the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series in WA, but also great for sprintcar racing in Australia and around the world.
Geoff said the SEG was very appreciative to have an international car brand be part of the WA-based series.
“It shows that our level of professionalism has grown with the partnership from Maddington Toyota,” he said.
“It is a partnership where we work hand-in-hand to make the
series work, but what is even more important is that it helps produce car
sales for Maddington Toyota and the greater AutoLeague group.
“Their support helps lift the profile of racing at the Perth Motorplex and the country venues that we have taken the series to, including Albany, where we had Albany World of Cars, as part of AutoLeague, support that round in mid-December.”
Paul was equally excited about the announcement.
“At Maddington Toyota, we are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series for another three years,” Paul said.
“What started as a passion for supporting grassroots motorsport in Western Australia has grown into one of the premier sprintcar series in the country, if not the world, and we are excited about where the future is heading.
“The growth of the series over recent seasons has been outstanding, with strong crowds at Perth Motorplex and regional venues, increased national attention, and some of the best sprintcar drivers in Australia and from the USA competing right here in WA.
“More importantly, the series continues to bring communities together – from local fans and families through to regional businesses and volunteers who all play a part in making our sport so special.”
Paul said this partnership was far more than branding on a race car or signage around a venue.
It’s about supporting the speedway community, creating opportunities for the sport to grow, and helping deliver world-class entertainment for fans across Western Australia.
“Through the support of the Sprintcar Entrants Group, Perth Motorplex, teams, drivers and supporters, the professionalism and profile of the series continues to reach new levels each season,” he said.
“We also see enormous value in taking the series into regional WA, supporting local tracks and communities including Albany, Bunbury, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie, while strengthening the connection between motorsport fans and the wider AutoLeague group of dealerships.
“We thank Geoff Kendrick, the SEG, all competitors, sponsors
and the passionate fans for their continued support – the future of
sprintcar racing in Western Australia is incredibly bright and we are proud
to be part of that journey.”

Streaks, Storylines, and Points Battles Await at Doe Run & Southern Illinois
Belleville, IL. (5/28/26) — The stars and cars of the POWRi
National Midget League are locked, loaded, and heading into a monumental
Missouri-Illinois doubleheader of open-wheel action. This Friday, May 29,
the quick dirt oval of Doe Run Raceway welcomes competitors before the
league shifts east on Saturday, May 30, to the historic bullring of Southern
Illinois Raceway for a weekend showcase of speed, slide jobs, and
championship drama.
Through seven completed events in the 2026 season, POWRi
National Midget storylines are coming into focus, the points chase is
tightening, and one driver is rewriting the record books at a blistering
pace.
The Denney Dominance: History in the Making
Championship leader Jacob Denney is putting on an absolute
clinic in 2026, riding an incredible six-race winning streak while entering
the weekend with a staggering 2.4 average finish on the season. With fifteen
career POWRi National Midget victories, Denney sits just one win shy of
tying Darren Hagen for 10th on the all-time wins list.
Even more impressive, Denney has six wins through the first
seven of 22 scheduled point events, putting the single-season record of 12
victories — shared by Logan Seavey (2019) and Cannon McIntosh (2022) —
squarely in his sights. As a former winner at Doe Run last season, all eyes
will be on the point leader to see if anyone can snap the streak.
Chasing the Champ: The Top Ten Fight Back
While Denney holds a 210-point advantage over Kale Drake,
the battle behind the leader remains intense. Karter Sarff (-440) currently
leads the Passmaster standings with a +44 in positions gained this season
and is eager to turn that hard-charging consistency into his first National
Midget feature win of 2026.
Rookie standout Drake Edwards leads a tightly contested “Jim
Childers Rookie of the Year” battle over Mack Leopard, with both Chase
McDermand Racing drivers hungry to secure their first career National Midget
victories.
Adler’s Legendary Iron Man Streak Continues
While points battles and winning streaks dominate headlines,
Daniel Adler continues to build one of the most respected legacies in POWRi
competition. Adler remains the only driver in league history to make a
National Midget feature start in every season of POWRi’s existence.
Currently sitting fifth on the all-time starts list with 186
feature appearances, the “Iron Man” looks to add two more to his remarkable
résumé this weekend.

GLSS Kicks off Sprint Car Week in Michigan Friday at I-96 Speedway
Lake Odessa, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are back in action this Friday night at I-96 Speedway. The first scheduled trip to West Michigan was washed away in April, leaving this post-Memorial Day show as the appetizer for a busy week of Sprint Car racing in Michigan.
Coming into Friday night’s show, just three races have been completed toward the run for a GLSS championship in 2026. Seven scheduled shows have been lost to Mother Nature or adverse track conditions as a result of Mother Nature. Because of this, Zane DeVault remains the current Championship Points leader heading into the weekend. DeVault is two-for-three so far this season with GLSS, grabbing wins in the season opener at Crystal Motor Speedway on April 25th and again at Shadyhill Speedway on May 16th. DeVault holds a 74-point lead over four-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh on the Tour, and a 12-point lead over 2018 Tour Champion, Dustin Daggett in the North Division standings.
I-96 Speedway has always been a roll of the dice on who will end up in GLSS Victory Lane. Since the first race on July 31, 2016, a total of 18 different drivers have won at I-96. Since winning the debut in 2016, inaugural GLSS Champion Chase Ridenour has been held out of the limelight in Lake Odessa. Jared Horstman (11), Dustin Daggett (8), Phil Gressman (4), and Max Stambaugh (4) sit atop the wins column ranks. Horstman was on another level at I-96 in 2025, winning three of five scheduled shows, finishing second and fifth in the shows he didn’t win.
GLSS and I-96 Speedway kick off a stretch of racing in Michigan that features five different sanctioning bodies at six different tracks in seven days. Following GLSS at I-96, High Limit Racing Sprint Cars unload at Butler Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 30th, the same day that the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints head back to Silver Bullet Speedway. Then, the Race for the Million 410 Winged Sprint Cars head to Owosso Speedway on Wednesday, June 3rd; finally, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars return to Hartford Speedway on Friday, June 5th, with the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints making a return trip to Mt Pleasant Speedway that same day.
Advanced tickets to the Great Lakes Super Sprints at I-96 Speedway are available at I96Speedway.com. Fans who can’t make the trip can catch the action LIVE on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV.

Brooks Eighth at Silver Dollar Fair Race
PETERSEN MEDIA: Saturday night, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team took part in the annual Silver Dollar Fair Race and with fair goers looking on and the carnival midway overlooking the speedway, Brooks picked up an eighth-place finish.
“For some reason, qualifying continues to be the biggest thorn in our side,” Landon Brooks said. “The car feels great in time trials; we lay down smooth laps but for whatever reason it still doesn’t equate to a good time. We continue to race well and pass tons of cars, so once we can get our time trial issues figured out, I think we will be up front and competing for wins.”
With 32 cars checked into the pit area for the annual event, Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 12th quickest in his flight.
Gridding the field from the third row of his heat race, Brooks’ sixth place finish pushed him into the night’s ‘B’ Main. Lining up fourth in the semi, Brooks picked up a third-place finish and punched his ticket into the 25-lap feature event where he lined up in 22nd.
After a couple of issues negated two attempts to get the race started, Brooks took the green flag from 16th eventually and began his charge towards the Top-10. Getting into 13th on the second circuit, Brooks was able to keep up with the everchanging surface as he powered into 10th on the seventh lap.
Settling into 10th during an extended green flag run, Brooks was able to move into ninth on the 16th lap, before taking over eighth on the 21st lap as much of the field was now rolling around on the bottom groove of the speedway.
Looking to pick up a few more spots as the laps wound down, Brooks capped his night off with an eighth-place finish.
“I am really proud of our team, and how we continue to work and adjust,” Brooks said. “Like I said, we have a really strong car and it shows in the feature and we will continue to try and figure out what is holding us back in time trials. I want to thank Roger and Lori Hamilton, the Tiner Hirst Ent. guys, and all of our partners for their continued support and hard work.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-12, Wins- 1, Top 5’s- 2, Top 10’s- 8
ON TAP: Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing pick back up with NARC on Friday night in Watsonville, CA before a trip to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.

Hartmann tallies IRA top 10s, targets High Limit-Outlaws
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 27, 2026 – Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team put together two fast, smooth, and consistent nights to claim a pair of top-10 showings in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition, rounding out a successful Memorial Weekend at two venerable Wisconsin facilities on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24.
The doubleheader weekend opened with the annual Founders Night event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., on Saturday, May 23. Hartmann flew out of the gate with the fastest qualifying lap in the 35-car field in 12.706 seconds to earn his second career IRA fast qualifier award.
The Plymouth, Wis. driver then placed fourth in the first IRA heat race to claim a berth in the second IRA dash, where he came home fifth to nail down the 10th starting position in the 30-lap main event.
The seventh-year Sprint Car racer then steered his 87A Hartmann Racing machine to his first top-10 A-main showing of the 2026 campaign with a solid ninth-place finish.
One night later, Hartmann turned a lap of 11.827 seconds around the third-mile semi-banked egg-shaped 141 Speedway clay oval to qualify seventh in the 30-car field.
After placing fourth in the first IRA heat race, Hartmann advanced to the second IRA dash, where he placed fifth to secure the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap main event for the second time in two nights.
Hartmann drove another clean race while competing in the top 10 throughout the event en route to a season-best seventh-place finish.
“This year has been anything but normal car-wise, tire-wise, and set-up-wise,” Hartmann said. “We’re really going outside of the normal and finding some speed. We haven’t quite perfected it yet, but we’re getting there. I can’t thank everybody who helped this weekend enough - Ozzie Wesener, Fran O’Brien, and Tyler Davis. I’m super blessed to have people in my corner believing in what I’m doing.”
The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is scheduled to take the upcoming weekend off to prepare for a big week of national touring season competition with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Series and the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series.
The string of four big races in five days fires up with a pair of High Limit Racing events at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wis., on Wednesday, June 3 (grandstands 4 p.m., hot laps 6:15 p.m., racing 7:30) and Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis., on Thursday, June 4 (grandstands 4 p.m., hot laps 6:15 p.m., racing 7:30 p.m.).
The team then returns to its home track to take on the World of Outlaws at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 6 (grandstands 4 p.m., 6:30 p.m. hot laps, qualifying and racing to follow) before closing the weekend with the World of Outlaws at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, June 7 (grandstands 4 p.m., 5:30 p.m. hot laps, qualifying and racing to follow).
For those unable to make it to the track, the High Limit Racing events will be streamed live on FloRacing.com, while the Red Cedar Speedway event on Wednesday, June 3, will air on live national broadcast television on the FS1 network.
The World of Outlaws events at Plymouth and Angell Park will be streamed live on dirtvision.com

Arenz nets season best at 141, LaSalle next
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 27, 2026 – After piling up top-10 showings in the first three Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events of the 2026 season, Travis Arenz pushed his Travis Arenz Motorsports 25T machine further forward in a Memorial Weekend doubleheader on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24.
With 35 cars checked in for the IRA Founders Night program at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., on Saturday, May 23, the 19th-year competitor qualified seventh with a lap of 12.908 seconds on the historic three-eighths-mile semi-banked clay oval.
A third-place finish in the third heat race gave Arenz a berth in the first IRA dash, during which he came home fourth to seal the seventh starting spot in the 30-lap main event.
The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion advanced steadily up the running order throughout the A-main on the way to a fourth-place showing to secure the team’s first top-five finish of the 2026 season.
On Sunday, May 24, at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., Arenz qualified second in the 30-car field in 11.675 seconds.
Following a third-place finish in the second heat race, Arenz qualified for his fifth straight IRA dash of the 2026 campaign. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor pulled off a nifty low move in turn one of the opening lap to sweep into the lead of the second IRA dash on the way to his first dash win of the year.
After rolling off on the outside of the front row in the 30-lap IRA headliner, Arenz stalked polesitter Will Armitage in the early going before using lapped traffic to sweep into the lead on lap 9.
Arenz, who won an IRA race (Sept. 13) and a $26,000-to-win High Limit Racing Series event (June 5) at 141 Speedway last season, maintained the top spot over the ensuing 20 laps before Paul Nienhiser inched ahead as the leaders weaved through heavy lapped traffic on lap 29.
The second-place showing was Arenz’s season-best finish and first podium result of 2026.
“Overall, we had a good weekend,” Arenz said. “It was not ideal to lose the win at 141 on Sunday night. Sometimes, lapped traffic can make or break a win. I have really been focusing on consistency in the early parts of the night, and it has been helping set us up for a better starting position come feature time.”
Arenz is set to visit LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars this Saturday, May 30. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing at 7 p.m.
The following week, Arenz will return to his home track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. - for a NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series event on Saturday, June 6. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 p.m., and qualifying and racing to follow.
All IRA events are streamed live on floracing.com. World of Outlaws event at The Plymouth Dirt Track will be live-streamed on dirtvision.com

Chance Grasty 2nd at Hall Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA- A weekend of 360ci action saw Chance Grasty and F&F Racing team head to Marysville Raceway and Silver Dollar Speedway where Grasty ran sixth at the Silver Dollar Fair Race on Saturday night, and closed the weekend out with a runner up effort on Sunday night at the Hall Memorial.
“We had a really good car all weekend long, and it was a fun weekend of racing,” Chance Grasty said. “I am thankful that my guys continue to work hard for me, and we really have gotten into a nice rhythm.”
Heading to Silver Dollar Speedway on Saturday night to open the weekend, Grasty got the weekend kicked off by timing in fourth fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Suisun City, CA driver mashed the throttle when the action went green and left the field in his wake. Picking up the win, Grasty locked into the feature event and also into the redraw in which he drew the eight.
Taking the green flag from the outside of the fourth row, Grasty was able to settle into fifth when the race finally went green after issues slowed things on the first two attempts and bringing the race to life.
As the race got going, Grasty soon started to have difficulty with his steering. Later diagnosing it as a power steering leak, Grasty settled in and hung on as best he could and settled for a sixth-place finish.
Sunday night, the scene shifted to Marysville Raceway with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Grasty continued to show a ton of speed in this 360ci powerplant as he earned quick time honors.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Grasty finished second which put him in the Dash. Being offered the BC Challenge- which was a $500 bonus to start sixth in the Dash and then an additional $500 should he win the dash- Grasty accepted, but wasn’t able to improve his feature event starting spot as he finished in the sixth spot.
In the caution plagued feature event, Grasty was able to quickly work his way into third as he did his best to get into the top-two. With a very fast car under him, Grasty made a move for second but as the car bobbled it cost him as he slipped back to fourth.
Able to get into third, Grasty used a late restart to move into second, and made it extremely close coming to the checkered but he did settle for a runner up finish on this night.
“Sunday night was a fun race, there was quite a few cautions but overall, I thought it was pretty entertaining and I am happy we came away with a runner up result,” Grasty noted.
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

Tri-City Raceway Park Preps for Thrilling Western PA
Sprint Speedweek Finale
Franklin, PA — Tri City Raceway Park is gearing up for one of its most
highly anticipated events of the season, the thrilling finale of Western
Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek this Sunday.
Since Race Director Tyler Beichner revived the historic Speedweek tradition,
the mini-series has delivered four high-stakes races over its span,
overcoming just one cancellation by Mother Nature. This Sunday’s event marks
a major milestone, serving as the 488th time sprint cars will take on the
challenging Franklin half-mile.
If recent history is any indication, fans are in for a historic night. Out
of the four Speedweek winners at Tri-City over the past five years, three
celebrated their very first career victory at the track. Bradley Howard took
home the hardware in 2021, Mark Smith claimed the checkered flag in 2023,
and Steven Snyder Jr. won last year. The lone exception is regional standout
A.J. Flick, who was victorious in 2022 but had already tasted victory at the
speedway before.
After weather completely wiped out the 2024 event, last year's race produced
one of the most memorable finishes in Western PA Speedweek history. Steven
Snyder Jr. executed a stunning, last-lap pass on Jeremy Weaver in turn four,
stealing the victory from Weaver, who had dominated the entire night. With a
stellar field of cars expected to pack the pit area this weekend, there is a
strong chance another first-time winner could shake things up and add their
name to the Tri-City history books.
Fans will get a full night of fast-paced action. In addition to the headline
410 Sprint Cars, the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprint Cars and the Mini
Stocks are also locked into Sunday evening's racing program.
Time trials are scheduled to get underway shortly after 6:00 PM, with the
green flag set to wave for all the racing action at 6:30 PM.

Limaland Ron Kahle Jr Memorial with GLSS Now Paying $6K to Win
Lima, OH - Officials with Limaland Motorsports Park have announced a purse increase for the upcoming show featuring the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS). The Ron Kahle, Jr Memorial, which also doubles as the K&L Ready Mix Clash on Friday, June 5th, will now pay $6,000 to win for the GLSS. The increased purse is made possible thanks to generous donations by friends of the late Kahle.
The race will be the second stop of the season for the GLSS after Friday’s Memorial Day weekend was washed away. The first stop of the year came on Friday, May 15th with the $5,000 to win Run for the Rabbit. Over 30 cars unloaded at Limaland, hoping for a chance to make the 20-car starting field. At the end of the 25-lapper, Mason Hannagan made his first career trip to Victory Lane, joining his dad, Randy, on the list of Run for the Rabbit winners.
Ron Kahle, Jr is credited with being a helping hand for a lot of different things; from motorsports to community, many remember Kahle, Jr for his support. In motorsports, he’s remembered as one of Limaland Motorsports Park’s biggest supporters. He helped make sure 360 Sprint Car Racing stayed relevant in Northwest Ohio for many years. In the community, a Ron Kahle Jr. Memorial Shelter house was erected at Deters Park in honor of his selfless acts around Putnam County and the surrounding areas.
“Ron is deeply missed by so many in the racing community,” said Limaland Motorsports Park General Manager Stephanie Swallow. “His contributions to local, regional, and even national racing are still being felt today. We feel so privileged to be able to honor his memory and legacy with the running of the Ron Kahle Jr. Memorial, and are thrilled to have others step up to make it even bigger.”
The race becomes the third event of the season, featuring an increased purse for the Great Lakes Super Sprints. The $5,000 to win Run for the Rabbit at Limaland, the now $6,000 to win Ron Kahle, Jr Memorial, and another $5,000 to win affair at I-96 Speedway on Friday, July 24th.
The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, May 29th at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan. Meanwhile, Limaland Motorsports Park will feature the first trip of the season for the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints on Friday, May 29th.

Dover Hopeful Weather Cooperates to Start Season Saturday at Off Road Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (May 26, 2026) – Jack Dover has had his season opener delayed multiple times this month.
Weather cost his first three scheduled starts and an illness parked him last Saturday during what was supposed to be the finale of a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League tripleheader in Missouri.
“It has been a slow start to the year with the weather,” Dover said. “Hopefully we can add a couple of races to the calendar to make up for it. I’m eager to make our first laps and I’m hopeful we can do that this weekend.”
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver is now scheduled to open the season this Saturday at Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb., with the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series
“It’s a track where I’ve had a lot of success throughout the years,” he said. “I started out about 10 years ago by winning in my first time at the track and have been able to back that up with several other wins and top fives. My goal for this Saturday is to put myself in contention to continue our consistency of running up front there.”
Dover has been incredibly strong at Off Road Speedway, where he’s finished inside the top 10 in all 12 of his career starts. In fact, only one time has he ended a race outside the top five. Dover captured the first-ever sprint car show at the track in June 2016 and he has a total of six triumphs at Off Road Speedway.

Starks Stays Consistent With Top Fives at Skagit and Cottage Grove
Inside Line Promotions – COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (May 26, 2026) – Trey Starks recorded a trio of top-five finishes last weekend to keep his streak of top fives to start the season alive.
Starks has produced eight consecutive top fives to open the season for the second time since 2024, when he started the year with a career-best 12 in a row.
“It was really good in terms of consistency,” he said. “With two days and three different races I’d love to say we picked up a win in at least one of them, but we were close in all three. In terms of speed and consistency, we were happy.”
Starks did double duty at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash., last Saturday when he competed in both the 410ci winged sprint car and 360ci winged sprint car divisions during the John Carroll Classic.
He qualified second quickest, advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race and ended the night fifth in the 410 main event.
“We didn’t draw very well and drew fifth so we started the feature in the third row,” he said. “We were moving forward and battling for second. There was a car that was off the pace and seemed there could have been a caution. They were in my blind spot on the right and we closed on him fast. We clipped him off turn four, spun around and had to go to the back. We fought our way back to fifth. If that hadn’t happened we would have had to have some things go our way to challenge for the lead, but we had speed.”
Starks set quick time during 360 qualifying. A fourth-place heat race result was followed by a rally from sixth to second place in the A Main.
“We drew the No. 6 so we started sixth, but the track was wide and racy,” he said. “We got into the top three and I was working on Cam Smith. I think the pivotal moment of the race was that I got by him, but it slowed our pace. Right after I got by him, Colton (Heath) got by us and he ended up winning the race. We had a good battle with Levi Hillier. Once I put him away, Colton was too far out.”
Starks is currently second in the 410 championship standings – five points behind the leader – at Skagit Speedway and he leads the 360 championship standings by 47 points.
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Cottage Grove Speedway, which hosted the Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic. Starks was fifth quickest in qualifying. A heat race victory moved him into the dash. He placed fourth in the dash and gained a position to end the night third in the main event.
“We were able to win the heat race and get into the dash,” he said. “We picked up a spot in the dash to gain us a row to start fourth in the feature. I felt pretty good. Being a 41-lap race, we made the adjustments we thought we’d need to do and the track hung around better than we anticipated. I got into third right away and was feeling pretty good. On the second lap, I got a little tight coming off turn two. That allowed two cars to get by me and one was the eventual winner. That was a pivotal moment because if I had kept those guys behind me I’d have a better chance. We kept plugging forward and we were right on the bumper of second coming across the finish line so we were close. We just weren’t quite good enough as I think the top three were all very similar. I like running that race every year and supporting them. To have a good, solid showing was nice.”
Starks returns to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for the third-and-final round of double duty this season.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Continue Consistency With Three Top Fives
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (May 26, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel compiled a trio of top-five finishes last weekend during a busy Memorial Day Weekend with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
The action began last Thursday at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., where Gravel set quick time during qualifying. A runner-up result in a heat race moved him into the dash. Gravel moved from last – eighth – to sixth place in the dash and he gained one position in the main event to end fifth.
Two nights later, the team invaded Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. Gravel was fourth quickest in his group before he won a heat race, maneuvered from seventh to fifth place in the dash and picked up one position in the feature to place fourth.
The Stars & Stripes Salute presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking began on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway with Gravel setting quick time in his qualifying group – less than one tenth of a second off the track record. However, the remainder of the program was rained out and the program resumed on Monday with a fresh start.
This time, Gravel was fourth quickest overall. He captured a heat race win before finishing eighth in the dash. The night concluded with a rally in the waning laps of the main event for a fourth-place result.
The three top fives gives Gravel a World of Outlaws best 17 top fives in 24 main events this season. He currently holds a 118-point lead in the championship standings.
The team heads to North Dakota this weekend for the Don Mack Classic on Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks followed by the Gerdau Metal Recycling Magic City Showdown on Sunday at Nodak Speedway in Minot.
Gravel produced World of Outlaws wins at River Cities Speedway in 2017 and in 2023. He captured a Series victory at Nodak Speedway in 2017.

Estenson Ready to Return to Seat Starting Saturday at Off Road Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (May 26, 2026) – Tim Estenson is planning to get his season underway this Saturday at Of Road Speedway.
The dirt oval in Norfolk, Neb., hosts a Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series event, which will be the first of approximately 30-to-35 races behind the wheel this season.
“It’s the first race of the year and I haven’t raced much in the last couple of years so I don’t have too many expectations,” he said. “I’ll try to get a feel for the car and shake things down in hot laps. I want to make the most out of it and come away with a good finish.”
While Estenson and Jack Dover are splitting driving duties for Tim Estenson Motorsports this season, Saturday’s show marks the return to more regular racing for Estenson. He only competed one time last season with a focus on learning outside of the race car.
“I think in previous years as just a driver I didn’t worry about a whole lot outside of driving,” he said. “With sitting out last year and trying to learn as much as I could, I watched what Jack’s decisions were in the car. The biggest thing is if you’re only a fourth-place car, just take that and move on to the next night. Before, I’d push it and end up with a DNF. I can give input now to help the crew so I’m looking forward to feeling everything in the car better.”
Estenson’s lone start last season was at Off Road Speedway, where he recorded a fifth-place finish in August. He was victorious at the track in May 2023.
“We had good luck there in 2023 and I learned a lot with that one race last year,” he said. “In 2023, there was a lot more moisture and cooler temps. Last year it was later in the year and was hot. Unfortunately, it rubbered up in the beginning of the night. Hopefully with this race being in May the track will have more moisture and be racy.”

Silver Dollar Speedway Podium Highlights Busy Weekend for
Tanner Carrick
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending the Memorial Day Weekend racing in Chico, CA and Marysville, CA, Tanner Carrick pocketed a third-place finish during the Silver Dollar Fair Race on Saturday night.
“We had a good weekend, and probably should have been on the podium both nights, but a restart at Marysville Raceway on Sunday didn’t go our way and I lost a few positions,” Tanner Carrick said.
Opening the weekend up on Saturday at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA, Carrick timed the CVC/Cemex/Interstate Oil backed No. 83T in second fastest in his qualifying flight with 32 cars checked into the pit area.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Lincoln, CA driver was able to gain a spot as he finished third which locked him into the nightly redraw. Pulling the five, Carrick was set for the green flag from the inside of the third row.
The start of the race was slowed by a pair of incidents, but when the green was finally able to fly, Carrick settled into fifth. Running inside the Top-5 for the first half of the race, Carrick was able to make some moves as heavy traffic entered the equation.
Racing into fourth on the 15th lap, Carrick chased after Landon Henry and Andy Forsberg, and was able to snatch the final spot on the podium on the 25th lap, as he closed the night out with a third-place finish.
Heading to Marysville, CA on Sunday night to battle with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, Carrick got off to another great start as he qualified third quickest amongst the 27 cars that were packed into the pit area.
Going from fourth to second in his heat race, Carrick moved into the Dash where his second-place finish put him on the front row of the feature event alongside Colby Copeland.
Settling into second as the race came to life, Carrick continued to stalk Copeland despite a few early stoppages slowing the pace of the race. Falling back to third on a lap 16 restart, Carrick slipped back to sixth amidst a crazy restart on the 18th lap.
Back in sixth, Carrick was unable to make up his lost ground as he held the spot for the final laps, and closed the night out with a sixth-place finish.
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 21, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 6, Top 10’s: 13
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick is TBD on his plans this weekend.

Andy Forsberg Charges to Hall Memorial Win
PETERSEN MEDIA: Taking part in the annual North State Doubleheader in Chico, CA and Marysville, CA, Andy Forsberg recorded a second-place finish during Saturday’s Silver Dollar Fair Race before charging from 10th to win Sunday’s Hall Memorial at Marysville Raceway with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
“It was a really good weekend for our team,” Andy Forsberg said. “We had a good run in Chico, CA on Saturday and ran second, and then Sunday night we didn’t time in well, but we dug out of it and raced from 10th to pick up the win.”
The weekend got underway on Saturday night in Chico, CA for the annual Silver Dollar Fair Race, and with 32 cars on hand, Forsberg went out 32nd for qualifications.
With the groups being split on this night, Forsberg ended up timing in sixth fastest in his flight which put him on the front row of his heat race. Starting on the outside of the front row, Forsberg got the jump and never looked back. Racing to the win, Forsberg moved into the redraw where the seven lined him up in the fourth row of the feature event.
The start of the race was hindered by a couple of issues but the third attempt was the charm as Forsberg settled into fourth as the race came to life. With the track changing a lot during the feature, Forsberg was able to make the right moves as he moved into third on the 10th lap, and then was able to take over the second spot on the 15th lap.
Amidst heavy traffic for the final 10-laps, Forsberg was able to close in on leader, Austin Wood, and few times but was unable to get to the youngster as he settled for a second-place finish.
Sunday night the scene shifted to Marysville Raceway for the annual Hall Memorial with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
Timing in 13th fastest in qualifying time trials, Forsberg found himself in an early hole as he then lined up fifth in his heat race. Able to pick up a position and finish fourth, Forsberg moved into the feature event where he took the green flag from the 10th starting position.
When the 30-lapper went green, Forsberg quickly jumped into eighth before he moved into sixth on the race’s seventh lap. A restart on the 15th lap saw the Auburn, CA driver make a big move to race his way into second just before the yellow flag flew.
A couple restart attempts saw Forsberg power into the lead, but each move was negated by a stoppage. Finally, on the 18thlap, Forsberg made his move for good as he romped into the lead and never looked back.
Leading the final 12 laps, Forsberg went on to capture his seventh win of the 2026 season.
“The Hall Memorial is just such a special race for me to win,” Forsberg said. “I know I always say the same thing when I am fortunate enough to win this race, but it just means a lot and to do it from 10th this year is really cool. It was a great weekend for our PHR team.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 17, Wins-7, Top 5’s-12, Top 10’s-15
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are set to return to SCCT action this Saturday night at Placerville Speedway.

C&M Motorsports Nets Third and Seventh Place Finishes
During Memorial Day Weekend
PETERSEN MEDIA- Working with Ryan Bernal and Colby Copeland over the weekend, the C&M Motorsports team picked up third (Copeland) and seventh (Bernal) place finishes during their weekend stops in Chico and Marysville, CA.
Saturday night the busy weekend came to life as Ryan Bernal made his first start with the team as they checked in at Chico, CA’s Silver Dollar Speedway for the annual Silver Dollar Fair race.
With 32 cars checked into the pit area, Bernal timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7c in fifth fastest in his qualifying flight. Running second in his heat race, the Hollister, CA native turned Roseville, CA resident found himself in the 10th starting position for the 25-lap feature event.
When the race finally got underway after a couple of early stoppages during the initial start, Bernal was able to move into seventh as he continued to acclimate to the Cody and Mandi Geaney owned entry.
Continuing to battle hard in seventh, Bernal worked into sixth on the 15th lap as the leaders found themselves in traffic.
With laps clicking away and the track continuing to change, Bernal did slip back to seventh on the 24th lap where he went on to finish.
“I am really thankful that Cody and Mandi gave me a great opportunity, and it was great to get back to the track for the first time in a little over a month,” Ryan Bernal said. “The car was great; I just needed to get us timed in better. I have to give Cody and Bobby a big ‘thank you’ for working so hard all night, and I am looking forward to doing it again.”
Sunday night, Colby Copeland rejoined the team and they made their way to Marysville Raceway for the Hall Memorial with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
With 27 cars checked in, Copeland went out dead last for time trials and still laid down a great lap as he was able to get timed in sixth fastest.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Copeland was hard on the throttle as he powered into the race lead. Picking up the heat race win, Copeland went on to win the High Sierra Industries Dash which put him on the pole of the feature event.
Getting out to the early lead, Copeland looked very stout in front of the field. A couple of early yellows kept him out of traffic as he continued to lead the way.
Just passed the halfway point, a lap 18 restart saw Andy Forsberg get around him to take over the top spot, and as Copeland looked for a way to get by him to reclaim the top spot, Chance Grasty was able to sneak by to put him back in third.
Holding onto third over the final laps, Copeland closed the night out on the podium with the C&M Motorsports team.
“Sunday night went well, and it felt great to be out front and leading laps,” Copeland said. “I just need to clean a few things up on my end, and I think we can continue to run up front and contend for wins.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports will be back in action on Saturday night with Colby Copeland in Placerville, CA.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-9, Wins-1, Top 5’s-4, Top 10’s-6

Paul Nienhiser Back in IRA Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA: A busy week for Paul Nienhiser saw the Chapin, IL driver endure a pair of DNF’s before returning to IRA victory lane on Sunday night in Wisconsin.
“We had a long week, and I am happy I could reward Scott, Zoom, and Weston with another win on Sunday night,” Paul Nienhiser said.
The busy weekend kicked off on Thursday night with the highly anticipated World of Outlaws event at Jacksonville Speedway. Enduring electrical issues that kept the car from firing early in the night, Nienhiser made up for a tough qualifying effort as he charged from seventh to fourth in his heat race.
Lining up 15th in the feature event, Nienhiser was patient on the tricky surface with a 40-lap feature in front of him. Spending much of the night in 15th, the 33rd lap got tricky as contact with another car sent Nienhiser airborne, and though he didn’t get upside down, he endured a bunch of damage and his race was over.
With his team spending much of Friday making a chassis repair and replacing bent parts, they made their way to Wilmot Raceway on Saturday night. Unsure how his car would be after the repairs, Nienhiser got off to a nice start as he timed the AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance backed No. 9x in third fastest in time trials.
Finishing fourth in his heat after contact collapsed his nose wing, Nienhiser moved into the Dash where a third-place finish put him fifth on the starting grid for the 30-lap feature event.
Settling into fifth during the race’s opening laps, Nienhiser moved into fourth at the halfway point as he began to chase after Creed Kemenah. Continuing to run in fourth, Nienhiser looked to make a move for third on the race’s final lap, but getting into the cushion wrong he got upside down and brought his night to an end.
Making more frame repairs during the day on Sunday, Nienhiser and company were able to make the call at 141 Speedway where he again timed in third fastest in time trials.
With an open red in his heat race, Nienhiser and team made a couple of big changes to his entry, but they didn’t work out as they had hoped as he finished 5th before running second in his Dash.
Starting the race in the fourth position, Nienhiser slipped back to fifth in the early goings of the feature as he battled a tight racecar. As the fuel load burned off and the track changed, Nienhiser started to come to life as he worked his way towards the front.
Racing his way into the lead with just two laps left in the feature, Nienhiser went on to score his fourth win of the 2026 season.
“I really put my guys through the ringer all week, and they never flinched,” Nienhiser said. “Like I said, I am just really happy we were able to end the week on a high and with another win.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros.

Joel Myers Jr Scores World of Outlaws Top-10 and Runner Up Finish with POWRi
PETERSEN MEDIA: Hayward Motorsports and Joel Myers Jr continue to have a great 2026 as Myers Jr picked up an eighth-place finish with the World of Outlaws on Thursday night in Jacksonville, IL before a runner up finish at Lake Ozark Speedway on Sunday night with POWRi.
“We really have built up a great team, and my guys continue to do a good job of giving me a very good racecar,” Joel Myers Jr said. “Sunday night, we had a car that was good enough to win, I just made a mistake on the last lap and it was costly.”
Heading to Jacksonville Speedway on Thursday night, Myers Jr got the night off to a great start as he timed the Velocity Engineering/Installtec Inc./RPM Chassis backed No. 19 in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Picking up a heat race win in convincing fashion, Myers Jr moved into the Dash where his seventh-place finish put him in the fourth row for the 40-lapper.
Spending the entire feature event battling inside the Top-10, Myers Jr got up to 4th in the closing laps but a close call saw him fall back to eighth. Holding down eighth for the final six laps, the Californian closed the night out with a Top-10.
Sunday night the scene shifted to Lake Ozark Speedway as the team went to work with POWRi.
Earning fast time honors in qualifications, Myers Jr went from fourth to third in his heat race and found himself in the third starting position for the feature event.
Moving into second on the race’s second lap, Myers Jr appeared very strong as he pounced on the leader on the sixth lap and began setting a very strong pace out front.
Leading the way, and looking like he was on his way to pocketing his third consecutive win with the series, a slight misstep on the race’s final lap allowed Sam Hafertepe to get by as Myers Jr settled for a second-place finish.
“It was definitely a bummer to not grab another win Sunday, but we were solid from start to finish, and we had a ton of speed,” Myers Jr added.
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Velocity Engineering, Installtec Inc., RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, FK Rod Ends, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Brad Alexander Suspension, Jim O’Neal Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

WESTERN PA SPRINT SPEEDWEEK SET TO VISIT SHARON ON
SATURDAY FOR $5000 TO-WIN IN “FLOYD TREVIS MEMORIAL”; BIG-BLOCK MODS TO
BATTLE FOR $2000
May 26, 2026
(Hartford, OH)... Sharon Speedway will try for the sixth time to kick-off the 2026 racing season this Saturday night (May 30) with a "Super Series" event presented by Bala Management. The 97th anniversary season opener will feature Western PA Speedweek for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply “410” Sprint Cars along with the Hovis Big-Block Modifieds and the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vics. Warmups will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. followed by qualifying and racing. It's Novus Home Mortgage Night.
Sharon welcomes in round four of the revived Western PA
Speedweek with a record high payoff of $5,000 to-win, $400 to-start in the
“Floyd Trevis Memorial”. The Youngstown, Ohio native is a member of the
National Sprint Car Hall of Fame known for his efforts and success in Sprint
Car racing as well as his achievements at the famed Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. Notable drivers to sport a Trevis Craft include Lou Blaney, Dave
Blaney, Kenny Weld, Larry Dickson, Ray Tilley, Gus Linder, Ralph Quarterson,
Mitch Smith, Kenny & Greg Weld, Smokey Snellbaker, Lynn Paxton, Dick Tobias,
Joe Saldana, Jan Opperman, Keith Kauffman, Gary Bettenhausen, Paul Pitzer,
Lee Osborne and Billy Cassella.
As influential as Floyd Trevis’s designs were in Sprint Car
racing, his decades-long exploits at the historic Indianapolis Motor may
supersede that. Trevis is routinely credited with entering into competition
one of the most unusual and unique that the Indianapolis 500 has ever seen.
His first appearance as an owner and builder came in 1946 when Trevis
arrived with a car that utilized two supercharged 91-cubic inch midget
engines, effectively giving the car four-wheel drive. After spending years
as an owner, chassis builder and chief mechanic, decades of design and
development finally culminated in a Trevis-built car winning the
Indianapolis 500 in 1961 with A.J. Foyt behind the wheel!
As a great addition to the celebration of Floyd Trevis’s accomplishments, one of his original Sprint Cars will be on display behind the speedway grandstands. Tom Burkey, a longtime racing enthusiast, car owner and sponsor, also has a hobby of preserving history. He has done just that with one of the early Trevis Craft cars. In his possession is a restored car that was originally built in 1968 and raced by none other than Lou Blaney in 1969.
Speedweek features a $13,500 point fund with $3,000 going to the champion for the five-night swing. Nightly contingencies include $200 for fastest qualifier (Knox Bakery), $200 hard charger (Rustler Sales & Service), $100 to the hard luck (R.K. Vigile), $500 McCandless Bonus Bucks drawing, Hoosier Tire giveaway, pair of race gloves to seventh place (Angry Duck), $50 for 10th place & $50 digital images (Sprint Car News), $25 to 20th place (AMain Landscaping), and a $50 fuel card to the first non-qualifier.
In the 2021 event at Sharon, central Pennsylvania invader Ryan Smith hounded race-long leader Carl Bowser before making the winning pass with six laps to go for his first career win at the Hartford, Ohio oval. A big field of 38 cars were on hand. Local A.J. Flick topped a 33-car field in 2022 for his first Sharon win in more than three years. In 2023, Dave Blaney dominated the event over the 31-car field. Smith won his second Sharon Speedweek show in 2024 topping an event record 46-car field for $4,000. Last year’s event was scheduled to pay $5,000 to-win, $400 to-start, but was rained out.
Smith won the 2021 Speedweek title with two victories and a
runner-up, while Flick copped the 2022 crown after victories in all three
completed events. Flick repeated the championship in 2023 thanks to
finishing in the top eight in all five events including two victories. Dave
Blaney won his first title outscoring his brother Dale in 2024. Last year,
Mother Nature was the big winner claiming three of the five events, but
Jeremy Weaver was credited with the title thanks to a pair of runner-up
finishes.
Western PA Speedweek always attracts the top regional talent along with several surprise invaders. Three central Pa. drivers have already made it known they’re coming West including Mark Smith, Billy Dietrich, and Jason Shultz.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds are set for their first of what is now eight appearances over the remainder of the 2026 season presented by King Bros. Ready Mix Concrete, King's Sanitary Services, Russ King Racing, and Thermo Supply. Saturday's event will pay $2,000 to-win, $200 to-start.
The Big-Block Modifieds have made 648 appearances all-time at Sharon with 99 different winners. The late Lou Blaney sits atop the all-time win list with 121 victories. Active drivers with double digit win totals include Rex King, Jr. (29), Jim Rasey (19), Brian Swartzlander (14), and Rob Kristyak (11). New York invader, Erick Rudolph, is up to seven Sharon wins and will look to add to that on Saturday. Canadian Dalton Slack won his first career Big-Block Modified feature last year at Sharon.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award on Saturday night to the Big-Block Modifieds. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature.
Rounding out the three-division program on Saturday night will be the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vic division, which debuted on June 21, 2025. The division has exploded in popularity throughout the nation in recent years. Five events were completed last year during the inaugural season with four different winners.

Nolen Racing Celebrates 30th Anniversary
At the Little 500 at Anderson Speedway
ANDERSON, Ind., May 26 — There were many milestones for Nolen Racing’s famous yellow No. 20 Saturday night in the 78th annual Unified Group Services Little 500 Presented by Ed Martin Automotive Sales at Anderson Speedway.
It was the Greenwood, Ind.-based team’s 30th year competing in this event, considered to be the biggest asphalt sprint car race in the world. Jim Keeker drove the late Gene Nolen’s first entry in the race in 1996. Gene would go to win the race twice as a team owner in 2018 and 2019 with Kody Swanson. He was inducted into the Little 500 Hall of Fame in 2010, and died in 2020.
His son, Greg Nolen, has continued to field cars in the race since then in memory and honor of his father. Greg Nolen has been attending the Little 500 since he was a child, and loves racing too. He’s especially appreciative of the team’s crew members, most of whom have been with the team since his father ran it, and the help they provide every year.
Shane Hollingsworth of Lafayette, Ind., made his 18th start in the race on Saturday, all of them under the Nolen Racing banner. His best finish was second in 2020. On Wednesday he was inducted into the Little 500 Hall of Fame too.
He qualified sixth in the field of 33 in the No. 20, which is sponsored by KECO Coatings and uses a Tranter-prepped Chevy V6 engine.
He was the fastest driver in warm-ups on Saturday with a lap in 11.153 seconds for the quarter-mile, high-banked oval. Justin Grant, Swanson, Davey Hamilton Jr. and Dakoda Armstrong rounded out the top five.
Hollingsworth got off to a great start in the 500-lap race, as he passed the driver who would go on to finish second, Hamilton, on the first lap. Hollingsworth ran in fifth place for two laps until Hamilton passed him back. Hollingsworth set his fastest lap of the race on lap seven with a time of 11.503 seconds.
Despite very tough competition running very close together, he remained in sixth place through lap 71, when his car lost its brakes. He was able to pull off the track and get stopped without becoming involved in an accident, but unfortunately the entry retired at that point for a 30th-place finish, and the team will hope for better luck in 2027.
Hollingsworth qualified sixth on Thursday with a combined time of 44.409 seconds for four laps. That was just 0.407 off the 44.002 Tyler Roahrig posted to win the pole.
Swanson won Saturday’s race over Hamilton and Armstrong. Jake Trainor and Mario Clouser rounded out the top five.
The Little 500 is part of the 500 Sprint Car Tour, but it’s a non-points-paying special event. It was streamed live on Racing America.

ESS Set for First Trip to Canada of 2026
By Curtis Berleue (Ohsweken, ONT) | To close out the month of May, the
Empire Super Sprints are set to invade Canada for the first of four times in
2026. This Friday, the tour visits Ohsweken Speedway to take on the local
Kool Kidz-Corr Pak 360 regulars, and on Saturday they will head up the road
to the Brighton Speedway in Brighton, Ontario.
With 62 prior A-Mains run, the Ohsweken Speedway has been a staple on the
Empire Super Sprints schedule dating back 23 years ago to 2003. As the only
track on the 2026 schedule that races 360’s weekly, it always presents a
unique challenge to drivers with the strong local contingent that tour
regulars have to contend with.
In 2025, Ohsweken regulars nearly swept the season at the 3/8 mile Ontario
oval, with Nick Sheridan claiming the tour’s full points event on May 30th.
Local DJ Christie won one of the twin 15’s on the ‘Night Before the
Nationals’ along with tour champion Jordan Poirier, and the 2025 Northern
Sprint Car Nationals went to Nick Sheridan as well.
In contrast to Ohsweken, the tours history at Brighton is all very recent.
2025 was the tour’s first visit to Brighton, and a strong field of 360s
supported the show with 28 cars on hand. Canadian Jordan Poirier picked up
the win. Being in close proximity to Ohsweken and the heart of Canadian 360
sprint car country, a good field of cars is again expected on Saturday.
A full listing of gate times, admission prices and a nightly schedule of
events for both Friday at Ohsweken and Saturday at Brighton can be found on
both tracks social media pages and websites, along with the Empire Super

Brown gears up for Knoxville doubleheader, 11th with Outlaws in Stars and Stripes Salute
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (May 26, 2026) - Highlighting his Memorial Day Weekend, “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing joined the Greatest Show On Dirt in a Knoxville Raceway invasion on Saturday, May 23, concluding the Stars and Stripes Salute with an 11th-place finish.
Brown, a former multi-time track champion and 360 Knoxville Nationals champion, started tenth with the World of Outlaws, utilizing a heat race podium - finishing third, officially - to transfer into the $20,000-to-win main event.
Although just missing the top-ten, a mechanical hiccup not helping, the Grain Valley, Missouri, ace via Higginsville has plenty to show for, already owning four WoO top-tens on the season, one of which occurring within the top-five.
“We were hoping to be a little bit better in our heat race to propel us to the dash,” Brown, the ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, was quick to note. “Ended up starting tenth in the ‘A’ and we climbed to seventh pretty quick. I felt pretty good about where my car was. Unfortunately, I had a little bit of a mechanical gremlin start haunting us about ten laps in. Tried to salvage a top-ten but had to limp the car to the finish. Overall, decent night. We’re working on things to improve. We’ll have two nights at Knoxville this weekend to get better; 360 on Friday and 410 on Saturday.”

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 26, 2026) - A crisscross halfway across the country resulted in back-to-back podium scores for Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR), concluding their Memorial Day Week/Weekend sweep with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing and World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts on Tuesday, May 19, and Saturday, May 23, respectively.
A crisscross, indeed, the aforementioned High Limit Racing start occurred at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania, and after concluding their Midweek Series outing with a runner-up finish to “High Roller” rival and championship contender, Aaron Reutzel, Rico and TSR hit the road, turning their attention to the famed Knoxville Raceway with the World of Outlaws.

Natalie Doney leads Doney-Lawson Racing charge through Lake Ozark; Knoxville Raceway visit on deck
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (May 26, 2026) - Although Mother Nature did her best to ruin all hope for POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League competition, Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri, persevered, hosting the regional touring group on Sunday, May 24. Doney-Lawson Racing, full-time competitors on the POWRi schedule, concluded their Ozark Wave Breaker efforts with respectable outcomes, led by the younger of the two Doney siblings - Natalie Doney.
Doney, powered by Kat Excavation, Pella Building Systems-Mini Storage Specialists, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Five Star Bodies, Stanton Racing Engines, CALI Floors, Wilwood Disc Brakes, DMI, Schaeffer’s Oil, Outlaw Wings, Schoenfeld Headers, Smith Titanium, and Design Source Flooring, finished 15th in her POWRi start, one position ahead of her older brother and teammate, Xavier Doney. The young lady out of Odessa, Missouri, launched her evening effort with the 16th-fastest qualifying time of 32 entries, racing on to finish fifth in her respective heat. Unfortunately, the heat result forced Natalie to the B-Main where she finished third - an automatic transfer position which lined her up 19th on the A-Main grid.
Despite his 16th-place outcome in Lake Ozark’s Wave Breaker, Xavier Doney remains in control of the POWRi championship standings, maintaining a 30-point margin over Landon Crawley.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (May 26, 2026) - Jace Park’s holiday weekend may have commenced with a result near the back of the running order, capping his World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series | Stars and Stripes Salute battle at Knoxville Raceway in the 19th position, but the young man out of Overland Park, Kansas, persevered in a hurry, racing on to conclude his Memorial Day Weekend slate with a near-top-ten at Lake Ozark Speedway on Sunday, May 24.
Park, powered by Associates Insurance Group, Impact Signs/Awnings/Wraps, Adki Landscaping, FinanciaLife Outfitters, Clem Helmets, Maxim Racing, Weld, Flying A Motorsports, Schoenfeld Headers, and Allstar Performance, finished 12th in the aforementioned near-top-ten, launching his efforts in Eldon, Missouri, from the 17th starting spot. The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League event attracted over 30 entries including eventual winner and former ASCS National Tour champion, Sam Hafertepe Jr.

Madsen 11th at Grandview, follows Outlaws through Huset’s; Vermeer welcomes Zimmerman Truck Repairs at major partner moving forward
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (May 26, 2026) - “The Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports made the most of the wet weather weekend in Central Pennsylvania, and following their High Limit Racing | Midweek Series visit to Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville on Tuesday, May 19, the team made their way west, joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Knoxville Raceway and Huset’s Speedway on May 23 and May 25, respectively.
Madsen, who is fifth in the 2026 High Limit Racing championship, highlighted their country criss-cross with 11th and 13th-place finishes, doing so at Grandview and Knoxville in consecutive fashion. As noted, the Iowa ace via Australia joined the Outlaws at Huset’s Speedway, as well, but unfortunately, his efforts concluded as a “DNF.”
The Madman and the rest of the High Limit Racing “High Rollers” were scheduled to compete in Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial over Memorial Day weekend, but Mother Nature stepped in and ruined all hope.
“You can never have too many laps at Knoxville Raceway, and once we found out the Bob Weikert Memorial was going to be postponed, it was in our best interest to head to Knoxville,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, stated. “We tried a few things and learned a few things..just trying to mold our program before the Nationals in August. We have a lot to do beforehand, but we’ll be ready.”

AND ANOTHER ONE…OR TWO: Aaron Reutzel pads 2026 win tally with victories at Grandview and Knoxville; Indiana, Michigan ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (May 26, 2026) - For “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), there’s absolutely no sign of slowing down, highlighting their most recent stretch of competition with three podiums in three attempts, attaining a pair of victories in the process including a dominating performance at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World.”
Reutzel, the ace of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, earned the aforementioned victories at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, May 19, and Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, May 23. Impressive, to say the least, the pair of the wins - worth $20,000 each - were accomplished in wire-to-wire fashion, leading all 35 laps in his High Limit triumph at Grandview, followed by a 25-lap domination of the World of Outlaws’ Stars and Stripes Salute at Knoxville.
It should be noted, Reutzel’s entire Knoxville output was borderline perfect with his only real loss occurring as a runner-up finish in the evening’s dash.
Although Knoxville’s effort was relatively uncontested, he did sustain some pressure at Grandview, forced to fend off eventual runner-up Rico Abreu. With all results considered, Reutzel remains in control of the 2026 High Limit championship, holding down the fort by a 33-point margin.
Reutzel and RSR raced on to conclude their Memorial Day weekend at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, on Monday, May 25, and although unable to add to their win streak, they battled the Outlaws to a third-place finish, leading 12 circuits in the process.
Reutzel and the rest of the High Limit Racing “High Rollers” were scheduled to compete in Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial over Memorial Day weekend, but Mother Nature stepped in and ruined all hope.
“I feel like a broken record but things are incredible right now…we’re working as hard as we can to keep this streak of positive results going,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, stated. “Aaron’s focus and his determination to be perfect is spot on. We have another busy stretch ahead…we’ll be ready.”

Double-D ninth with High Limit at Grandview; Williams Grove, Lincoln to conclude May campaign
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (May 26, 2026) - Although Mother Nature ruined much of Danny Dietrich’s Memorial Day Week and Weekend campaign, High Limit Racing’s visit to Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania, went forward as planned, and “Double-D” was in on the action. In fact, Dietrich, a two-time Central Pennsylvania winner in 2026, concluded his Tuesday night efforts with a top-ten output, concluding the $20,000-to-win main event in the ninth position.
The eventual top-ten achievement was Dietrich’s 20th of the season, and with Mother Nature ruining the rest of his holiday slate - a start at Lincoln Speedway on May 20 and Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial on May 22-24 - he was unable to add to his stat sheet.
“I guess we’re going to have to wait to win a Bull,” Dietrich said of the Bob Weikert Memorial, which was postponed to the end of July. “A little extra time doesn’t hurt…gives us a chance to fine tune our program and get better. See everyone at Williams Grove and Lincoln this weekend.”

This Saturday’s show honors the late Davy Thomas, who we lost in 2024 following a multi-year battle with cancer. He spent time as a crew member and an official, but above all, he was a huge race fan that could be seen frequently in the campground and grandstands throughout California.
After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at the age of 30, he continued to be at the track with his race family as often as he could. Davy passed away on June 30th, 2024, at age 33. The event in his memory is shaping up to again be one of the highest paying in SCCT/ Civil War Series history.
Davy was always a big fan of professional wrestling, which will play a theme in the music heard over the PA System during the evening.
Several special awards are on the line thanks to numerous individuals, including the $850 Donna Gomez Fast Time Award and the $850 Gene Freeman Hard Charger Award.
The B-main held in memory of Cindy Rounds is a guaranteed $350-to-start for non-transfer cars, while the first four non-transfers in the C-main will earn $150. The “Rounds Kids” have also offered a $200 Hard Charger Award in the B-main.
Current Placerville Speedway point leader and 10-time track champion Andy Forsberg captured the Davy Thomas Memorial last season.
The Auburn veteran topped a strong 45-car field to claim the inaugural running and hopes to duplicate that performance on Saturday. Forsberg is fresh off his seventh career win at the Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial this past Sunday at Marysville Raceway.
With two races down it’s Justyn Cox who stands atop the SCCT standings. The driver of the Josh Bates Racing No. 42x will be searching for a strong outing at the Davy Thomas Memorial.
Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Roseville’s Colby Copeland, Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes complete the top five in SCCT points after two races.
The traveling Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association will be the companion class on Saturday. The colorful coupes often put on an excellent show at Placerville Speedway.

Doran Racing’s Wilke Orthodontics No. 77
ANDERSON, Ind., May 24 — On Wednesday Kody Swanson was honored as the #1 driver of 2025 by the National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings. On Saturday night he put an exclamation mark on that honor by winning his fourth Little 500 at Anderson Speedway in Doran Racing’s Wilke Orthodontics/Glenn Farms No. 77 asphalt sprint car.
After leading the first 158 laps before pitting and falling to 10th, Swanson battled back, passed Davey Hamilton Jr. on the frontstretch on lap 473, and led the last 28 laps of the 78th annual Unified Group Services Little 500 Presented by Ed Martin Automotive Sales for his Lebanon, Ohio-based team’s first victory in the biggest pavement sprint car race in the world. Swanson, a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Brownsburg, Ind., also won this race in 2016, 2018, and 2019.
He started third beside polesitter Tyler Roahrig and Jackson Macenko, but he was first before the second turn on the initial lap with his car, which is powered by a Dan Binks-prepared Chevy V8.
Roahrig hounded him incessantly, just a tenth or two-tenths of a second behind as they toured the quarter-mile, high-banked oval. For the first part of the race Swanson held the fastest race lap with a 11.433-second lap on lap 23, while Roahrig was second with a 11.439 on lap 22 and Hamilton was third with a 11.451 on lap seven.
On lap 157 Bobby Santos III brought out a yellow and then a red when he and another competitor had contact in Turn 1 while Santos was running 12th. Santos came to a stop high in Turn 2 with his car on fire. Luckily he got out quickly and wasn’t injured.
When the race restarted under yellow both Swanson and Roahrig dipped into the pits for their first of two mandatory pit stops. That gave the lead to Logan Seavey on lap 159. Swanson’s pit stop went well but the push trucks got Roahrig underway a little quicker. After some others made pit stops Roahrig was ahead of Swanson in fifth place and Swanson was sixth when the green waved again on lap 164.
Swanson was either sixth or fifth from that point until lap 179, when he passed Rylan Gray for fourth. Seavey still led, with C.J. Leary second and Roahrig third.
By lap 200 Seavey, who hadn’t made his first pit stop yet, still led. He had a 3.230-second advantage over Leary at that point, but Leary cut that down to 0.386 seconds before Seavey finally pitted, giving the point to Leary on lap 206 with Roahrig second and Swanson third. The top three were still in that order at the halfway point.
Roahrig passed Leary for the lead on lap 283 and Swanson got by Leary for second three laps later. The top eight cars were all on the lead lap at that point. Roahrig and Swanson continued to battle like they had at the beginning, although their positions were reversed.
Hamilton passed Leary for third on lap 305, and Dakoda Armstrong got around Leary for fourth on lap 308. Meanwhile, Roahrig and Swanson still ran one-two, only a couple tenths of a second apart.
The top pair pitted together again on lap 387, with Swanson dropping from second to sixth and Roahrig from first to fifth. Hamilton took the point followed by Armstrong, Justin Grant and Mario Clouser.
On lap 405 Roahrig and the 10th place driver whom he was lapping, Seavey, made contact by the blend line between Turns 1 and 2, with Roahrig flipping and bringing out a second red flag. Luckily no one was hurt. Swanson had to take evasive action not to become involved, but he was unscathed for the restart and in fifth place.
Swanson passed Clouser for fourth on lap 416, and he got third on lap 429 when Grant dropped from third to eighth.
Hamilton had a 1.122-second lead over Swanson on lap 445, but Swanson set the fastest lap of the race by anyone two laps later with a 11.417-second lap. Then with a little help from a lapped car, he passed Hamilton on the frontstretch on lap 473 for the lead and went on to win with a 1.924-second margin of victory.
Armstrong finished third, with the top three drivers the only ones completing all 500 laps. Jake Trainor was fourth, one lap down.
Clouser placed fifth, two laps down, and was the rookie of the race. Ryan Newman, Derek Bischak, Travis Welpott, Colton Bettis, and Gray rounded out the top 10 in the 33-car field.
Swanson started on the outside of Row 1 (third) after he ran four consecutive laps in 11.088 seconds, 11.040 seconds, 11.051 seconds, and 11.070 seconds for a combined total of 44.249 during the first round of qualifying on Thursday. That was just 0.247 off the combined time of 44.002 seconds that Roahrig ran to earn the pole.
The Little 500 is part of the 500 Sprint Car Tour, but it’s a non-points-paying special event. It was streamed live on Racing America.
For more information see DoranRacing.com.
Kody Swanson: (Regarding the pass for the lead): “I was able to get to the inside of Davey on the frontstretch in lapped traffic. I had been trying to work closer to him the last few laps, and when I got a big run into traffic I had to go for it.
“I had a few close calls; I think you always do in this race, but I barely missed getting involved in that accident with Roahrig and Seavey. We were each pressing so hard through traffic, and it all happened so quickly with us running tight together. I was hard on the brakes, and felt the fronts trying to lock up, but thankful it worked out where we missed it.
“The first part of the race we were really close, but Tyler and I have been good at giving each other room when we’re lapping cars. We’ve raced together for a number of years now, and we both respect each other. Through that early part of the race we were both just trying to manage our cars and our tires, and get through the traffic clean to that first pit stop.
“Then in the second half of the race I was the one chasing. We were both just trying to see if we could race it out through traffic to the end.
“We had great pit stops tonight. It’s a fun element that helps make this race so unique, and part of that is getting the push trucks to you quickly too. Tyler qualified on the pole and picked a good pit stall that might have been a little better for the push trucks to get to him tonight, but that’s all part of the competition and strategy of this race.
“With about 95 to go there was a long line of cars ahead of me. We did have fresher tires, but still had a lot of track position to make up, and I had to just race for it at the end. I’m thankful to have been in a position to race for a win like that, and really glad we could get one for everyone involved with the Doran Racing team and all of our sponsors.”

The first five rows for the 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500 Presented By ED Martin Automotive Sales has been set following CB Fabricating Pole Day at Anderson Speedway.
Tyler Roahrig won the pole for the Little 500 for the second consecutive year and third time overall. The two-time Little 500 champion posted a four lap time of a 44.002 puts him on the inside front row for Saturday’s race.
At one point during practice, Roahrig found himself outside of the top ten in the rundown. His team made a big swing towards the end of the session and again right before hitting the track for his qualifying run, a move that paid off with the pole.
“We were off a little bit early in practice. I don’t know if it was the change in weather that affected us a little but I thought our car felt pretty good for the race. We clearly weren’t fast enough to contend for the pole at that point so we made some pretty decent adjustments to it and we made another adjustment right before qualifying. It’s not what you really want to do but it worked out.”
With his qualifying run on Thursday, he has now qualified on the front row of the Little 500 for eight consecutive years. In that time, he has won the race twice, including being the last driver to date to win the race from the pole (2022). Having started the race anywhere from first to 23rd in what will be his 11th start Saturday night, he says a good starting spot isn’t as important as later on in the race.
“It’s important, don’t get me wrong but we’ve started on the front row all these times and we’ve only won it twice. It’s definitely easier at the start of the race but the race is always won well after halfway. Hopefully our car races good, that’s the important thing.
Jackson Macenko qualified second with a four lap time of 44.218, which gives him his first front row start Saturday night. It’s a career-best qualifying effort for the Cincinnati native in his third Little 500 appearance, having qualified 18th and 9th in his previous two attempts.
He finished fifth in last year’s race, and was running in the top-five in 2024 when an accident took him out of the race. Even with starting on the front row, it doesn’t affect how he attacks 500 laps Saturday night.
“It really is incredibly exciting because I didn’t know we had a front row car. I thought we had a really good car but I was more focused on the race and it being 500 laps and not having to hustle it, just having a car that’s settled and that we can work through traffic in. When we went out there and I looked up and it said P2, I was really pleased. It’s an honor to be on the front row with Kody and Tyler.”
“Two years ago we started 18th and last year we started 9th, but with the wreck that happened on lap one we basically started fifth or sixth. I don’t know if it really changes my strategy, I’m more of a try and make it to the first stop, log laps.”
Three-time winner Kody Swanson returns to the front row of the Little 500 after qualifying in row three the previous two seasons. After turning the fastest lap in practice Wednesday afternoon, a four lap time of 44.249 has him starting outside of row one for his 12th Little 500 start.
“It’s been a few years since we’ve been on the front row but we’ve had fast racecars. It’s been good but I don’t know if I hit those four (laps) as good as I needed to. It felt really good and it was consistent but just not fast enough to match Jackson or Tyler. I’m glad to be back in the mix though with a good starting spot for Saturday night.”
The top 15 qualifiers have locked in their starting spots for Saturday’s Little 500, while the remaining 18 spots will be decided on Friday during Bump Day.
Little 500 week continues tomorrow with Bump Day. All times have been moved up one hour, with practice scheduled from 10:30-12:15, with Bump Day qualifying taking place from 12:30-2:30

May 20, 2026 - Anderson, Indiana - The National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings
today released the first edition of the 2026 rankings. Sixteen-year-old
Colton Bettis finds himself atop the first release of the 2026 rankings.

Langley, British Colombia, Canada driver Aaron Willison trails Bettis by a mere four points in second place. Willison has three victories early in the 2026 season including the $30,000 Race for the Million inaugural event at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida April 10.
Bobby Santos III rounds out the top three of the first edition of the 2026 rankings due in part to his Dave Steele 125 victory in Florida in February and a podium finish in the $30,000 Race for the Million inaugural event at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida April 10.
Defending National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings champion Kody Swanson currently sits in a fourth-place tie with Canadian driver Jeff Montgomery.
The top three drivers from the 2025 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings will be honored as part of the annual Little 500 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Anderson Speedway tonight May 20 at 6 p.m. directly following Little 500 practice.

In 1948, Dempsey Wilson claimed the checkered flags at the
inaugural “Salute to Indy” with the original California Racing Association
(CRA). The event would enjoy a long and storied history but faded away when
Ascot Park closed after the 1990 season. When Perris Auto Speedway opened
their doors in 1996, the Riverside County oval brought the tradition back
and NASCAR driver J.J. Yeley scored the victory. Last year, Ricky Lewis
topped the prestigious race over David Gasper, R.J. Johnson, Matt Mitchell,
and “The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams. The win list for this historic
race is at the bottom of the release.
Since March 6, 2004, Perris Auto Speedway has hosted 271
USAC/CRA Sprint Car events and forty-eight drivers have claimed “home track”
victories. Ten-time champion, “The Demon” Damion Gardner leads all drivers
with fifty-one Perris wins as R.J. Johnson and Ricky Lewis have claimed
season victories at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. Nic Faas set the 1-lap
track record of 15.833 on February 25, 2012 and the complete Perris USAC/CRA
win list is at the end of this release.
Heading to the eleventh point race, two-time and defending
USAC/CRA champion R.J. Johnson of Laveen, Arizona has a 32-point advantage
over the competition. Driving the Petty Performance Racing #1P Avanti
Windows & Doors / Apache Transport Sherman, Johnson finished fourth on
Friday and third last Saturday night. At press time, the multi-time Arizona
Sprint Car Champion has two feature wins, five Woodland Auto Display Fast
Time Awards, four heat race victories, ten top-10 finishes, and 32 feature
laps led on the season. Currently ranked seventh with thirteen career wins,
the second generation driver will be looking to add the “Salute to Indy” to
his resume.
The hottest driver on the circuit is Camarillo, California’s
Ricky Lewis. Ranked second in the chase for the championship, Lewis raced
the Chris Bonneau owned #15 Priced Right Auto Sales / Australian Outback
Plants DRC to last Friday and Saturday night victories at Central Arizona
Raceway. Driving for three different teams, Lewis has posted six feature
wins, three Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Awards, four hard charger
awards, nine top-10 finishes, and 91 feature laps led to his credit.
Currently ranked sixth overall with eighteen career triumphs, the defending
“Salute to Indy” winner might skip Perris to race in the Midwest.
“The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams of Yorba Linda,
California is third in the USAC/CRA point standings. Piloting the Tom &
Christy Dunkel #17W Inland Rigging / Maxima Oil Triple X, Williams placed
third last Friday and twentieth the following night at the Pinal County
Fairgrounds. To date, the former co-rookie of the year has two heat race
victories and seven top-10 finishes in the campaign. Currently tied with
Ryan Bernal and Matt Mitchell with eleven career wins, “The Big Game Hunter”
will have his sights on his third “Salute to Indy” victory.
After running nineteenth and twenty-third at Casa Grande,
Connor Lundy of Peoria, Arizona has climbed to fourth in the point chase.
Driving the Matt Lundy owned #97 Avanti Windows & Doors / Apache Transport
DRC, Lundy has recorded two heat race victories, one hard charger award,
five top-10 finishes, and 21 feature laps led to his credit. Last season’s
rookie of the year will be looking to earn his first career victory at
Perris Auto Speedway.
One the strength of an eighth and ninth place finish at
Central Arizona Raceway, Westminster, California’s Brecken Guerrero has
climbed to fifth in the championship point standings. Racing the Rachel
Guerrero owned #98B Doug’s Auto Body / Bill’s Jerky DRC, the former PAS
Young Gun Sprint Car Champion has posted one heat race victory and five
top-10 finishes in the campaign. This Saturday night, Guerrero will have his
sights on the “Salute to Indy” win at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds.
Currently ranked eleventh in points, Wayne Siddle of Tucson,
Arizona leads the chase for rookie of the year honors over “The Pineapple”
Daylin Perreira, Bryan Whitley, Zate Legend, Cale Coons, Jim Vanzant, Joshua
Shipley, Troy DeGaton, A.J. Hernandez, Koen Crawford, Davis Perry Jr.,
Broedy Graham, B.J. Fernandez, and Grant Schaadt.

CRSA SET FOR MEMORIAL DAY SUNDAY CLASH AT WEEDSPORT
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – May 21, 2026
One of the marquee events of the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints calendar is set to go down Sunday as the series heads to Weedsport Speedway for its lone trip of 2026.
This race also kicks off the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, a miniseries of races at stops along the New York State Thruway.
In addition, this event is part of the undercard to the Super DIRTcar Series’ Heroes Remembered 100.
A large turnout of cars is anticipated this weekend. Drivers committed to the tour, regulars from Land of Legends Raceway and Crate Sprint drivers are all expected to participate.
This will be CRSA’s eighth visit to Weedsport. Last Memorial Day weekend, Bobby Parrow snapped a four-year tour winless streak with his second Weedsport win. In September, Dillon Paddock beat Zach Sobotka in a photo finish by nine hundredths.
Here’s a look at the top stories for Sunday.
Last Time Out: For the second year in a row, CRSA opened up its campaign with a trip to Outlaw Speedway.
Mikey Smith led all 25 laps from the outside front row, earning his second career victory.
Smith had sought a win at Weedsport after leading early last October but finished off the podium.
“We had high hopes and fell short [last October], but we came back tonight in the same hope that we’re going to go forward and win,” said Smith postrace. “I’m happy that we showed up and did good.”
Jordan Hutton finished second; Zach Sobotka took third.
50 Club: For the past three years, Weedsport Speedway's Memorial Day event has featured the highest car counts for a CRSA race. Each season has shown strong entries during this weekend at "The Port."
Entries reached 33 in 2023, surpassed 40 in 2024 with 42, and hit a record 48 last May.
With full-time series, Canandaigua, and crate Sprint drivers, 50 drivers could compete Sunday.
Close Racing Ahead? Weedsport has had its share of late-race drama in the last five years.
Last September, in the final full points race of 2025, championship rivals Dillon Paddock and Zach Sobotka battled to the end. Paddock had bobbled on the bottom of three and four, opening up the outside for Sobotka, but the No. 8 hung on for his first trek to “Victory Hill” after coming close twice.
In 2024, Bobby Parrow suffered a broken rear end while leading past the halfway mark, allowing Jordan Hutton to take advantage and score the victory.
2022, Parrow, Darryl Ruggles and Billy VanInwegen had a close-quarters tight battle for the end with the top three trading spots, but with two to go, VanInwegen and Ruggles traded slide jobs back and forth as “Billy V” threw a slider to run away for his first win at “The Port.”
Preceding that was a battle to the end between Parrow and Ruggles in 2021,, trading the lead numerous times and sending the crowd to their feet, with Parrow prevailing.
By the Numbers: Five different winners have won a CRSA feature at Weedsport, with Billy VanInwegen and Bobby Parrow the only repeat winners. Darryl Ruggles, Jordan Hutton and Dillon Paddock have also won here. Four drivers are tied for the most top fives at Weedsport with four each. Ruggles, Parrow, Jeff Trombley and Paddock.
Tune In: Action is available live on DIRTVision, with Marty Czekala on the call. Expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com for $5.99 a month, featuring live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
From the Frontman: “Weedsport is always one of our biggest shows of the year. We’re excited to put on a great show in front of a packed house and also honor those who have fallen so we can be free as a nation.” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA prepares to return to Fonda Speedway Saturday for the first time in two years. Action can be seen live on FloRacing.

Perris Auto Speedway Welcomes Back a Familiar Face and a New One for Saturday’s Salute to Indy
Perris, California — May 19, 2026 — When Heimark Distributors presents the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars for the Salute to Indy this Saturday night, May 23, fans will be thrilled to see the return of a longtime favorite and the debut of an exciting young newcomer. The familiar face is Brody Roa, winner of the 2021 Salute to Indy. The new face is local teenager Drake Cardey, who currently leads the USAC Western Midget Championship standings.
“It will be great to see Brody back on the track,” promoter
Don Kazarian said on Tuesday. “He is a great driver who always shows up with
his equipment immaculately prepared and ready to win. On top of everything
else, he is great with the fans. He will be a welcome addition to the field
on Saturday.”
Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, has not raced since competing in the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in January. He has not driven a sprint car since recording a sixth-place finish nearly seven months ago at The PAS. Overall, the likable veteran made 10 starts on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval in 2025. He finished eighth or better nine times and recorded four top-five finishes, including a victory on October 18th.
Roa has been sidelined this season while waiting for work to be completed on a new-to-him 410 engine. With that work now finished, the 2021 Salute to Indy winner, 2023 USAC/CRA Champion, 2019 USAC Southwest Champion, and 2016 USAC West Coast Champion will be ready to contend for the victory on Saturday night.
On the other side of the coin is teenager Cardey, who lives in Riverside, California. While he will be making his sprint car debut in one of Tom and Christy Dunkel’s Inland Rigging cars on Saturday, the Cardey name has been a familiar one at The PAS since 2003. That year, his father, David, went undefeated at the track on his way to the California Lightning Sprint Car Championship. In addition, his mother, Danita, has a section of the grandstands named after her.
The effervescent teen is no stranger to racing. In fact, quite the opposite. He has competed in pavement and dirt karts, Speedway Sprints at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, lightning sprints, and midgets. Last season, he raced in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series, where he captured Rookie of the Year honors and finished second in the championship point standings.
This season, he is a rookie in the USAC Western States
Midget Series. In only his fourth start with the series, he scored a victory
at Imperial Valley Raceway. Through five races, he has also recorded two
runner-up finishes, a fourth-place result, and an eighth-place finish. Add
it all together, and he currently leads both the series championship
standings and the Rookie of the Year chase.

“Drake Cardey is a chip off the old block,” Kazarian said. “He is a true rising star in racing. His poise behind the wheel is incredible for such a young driver. He is smooth, fast, and patient. In addition, he is going to be in a top-of-the-line car. I am really excited to see him in action on Saturday night.”
Joining the stars and cars from the USAC/CRA Series will be the fastest stock cars at The PAS, the PASSCAR Super Stocks, and PASSCAR Street Stocks. The Street Stocks will be racing for a $2,000 winner’s purse based on 17 entries.
In addition to the great racing, five lucky fans will take home kids’ bicycles after the races. Every fan will receive a free raffle ticket, and at intermission, five winning tickets will be drawn for the bicycle giveaway.
Intermission will also feature a kids’ dance contest with prizes for lucky participants, as well as t-shirt launches into the crowd.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00 p.m. Adult tickets are $30. Seniors 65 and over are $25. Students ages 13–17 with a school ID are $15. Kids ages 6–12 are $10, and children 5 and under are free. Active military members with proper ID will be admitted for just $5. Parking is $20, and parking payments are by card only.
Advance tickets for all 2026 PAS races are available at tix.com. For fans who do not wish to purchase advance tickets, plenty of tickets will be available at the ticket windows on race night.

POWRi 410 Sprints Ready for Holiday Weekend Double-Header at Lake Ozark Speedway
Belleville, IL. (5/21/26) – The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410
Outlaw Sprint League shifts into high gear this holiday weekend, bringing a
star-studded field to the quick laps of Lake Ozark Speedway for the annual
“Ozark Wave Breaker.” The high-stakes, two-night double-header begins with
$5,000-to-win on Saturday, May 23, before raising the stakes to
$7,000-to-win on Sunday, May 24, serving as a pivotal point in the
early-season championship chase.
The Championship Grid
A razor-thin margin separates the top tier of the 410 Outlaw
Sprint standings, as Xavier Doney currently holds the championship lead by a
slim 10-point advantage over the hard-charging Landon Crawley. Former ASCS
National Champion Blake Hahn sits third (-80), while inaugural champion
Roger Crockett and Missouri standout Joe B. Miller remain tied for fourth
(-150).
Storylines to Watch
The Passmaster Pace:
Alongside his runner-up position in the title hunt, Landon
Crawley leads the Passmaster standings with a striking +18 positions gained
in feature competition this season, proving a constant threat from anywhere
on the grid. Xavier Doney (+15) and Kameron Key (+14) continue to keep pace
in the yearly standings.
Rookie Battle Intensifies:
The stacked Rookie of the Year battle is doubling as a
top-ten overall championship fight, as New Mexico’s Ryder McCutcheon holds a
narrow edge over Mediapolis, Iowa’s Colton Fisher. The standout rookies
currently sit sixth and seventh in overall points.
Myers’ Momentum:
Fresh off a historic weekend sweep to claim his first career
POWRi victories in his debut appearances, Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa,
California, rolls into “The Lake” sitting eighth in points and riding a wave
of momentum, looking to continue his perfect average finish.
Contenders & Champions:
Show-Me-State wheelmen Miles Paulus (9th) and Kameron Key
(10th) remain steady inside the top ten and are primed for breakout
performances. Meanwhile, reigning three-time league champion Ayrton
Gennetten looks to rebound at his home track as he works his way back toward
the top ten after a challenging start to the season.
Streak Safeguarded:
Kyle Bellm enters the weekend having extended his remarkable
heat race win streak from 2022 through 2026. Points leader Xavier Doney
stands as the only driver with the statistical opportunity to match that
multi-year streak this season.
Expected Competitor Entry List:
Ayrton Gennetten, Joe B. Miller, Scotty Milan, Landon
Crawley, Blake Hahn, Ryder McCutcheon, Rodney Huband, Miles Paulus, Colton
Fisher, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, John Barnard, Roger Crockett, Gage
Montgomery, Kameron Key, Jack Potter, Cory Bruns, Dylan Bloomfield, Kaleb
Johnson, Marcus Thomas, Jack Dover, Bryce Norris, Jake Neuman, Howard Moore,
Joel Myers Jr., Broc Elliot, and more.

Hard Charger Run With Outlaws Highlights Streak of Consistent Performances for Tyler Ross
Lincoln University, PA – May 21, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross stretched his streak of top-ten finishes into May, reaching six consecutive top tens, including two top-five finishes.
A model of consistency, Ross has finished in the top ten 13 times in 16 races in 2026, with the most recent of those being a top-five finish at the wheel of the McGough No.669 URC 360 sprint car.
MOTIVATING MAY
One of the highlights of Ross’s streak was a 7th-place finish against the World of Outlaws at the wheel of the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service, Betts Garage Ross Racing No.5.
Ross earned the Hard Charger Award in that event, racing from the 24th starting spot to the 7th-place finish after a disappointing time trial result.
“That run showed we can run with those guys, and it showed the ‘don’t give up’ attitude our team has,” Ross shared.
“It’s cool to be able to say we had a run like that, but we know we have to be better early. That said, it definitely brought our confidence right back. My guys never gave up after time trials, and they kept my head up. It was a team effort, and I think it showed we have a solid group and that we work well together.”
Unfortunately, the streak ended this week when Ross encountered some bad luck in his heat race at Grandview Speedway with the High Limit Series on Tuesday night. He was able to bounce back and make the show through the B-main, ultimately recording a 16th-place finish, one spot short of another Hard Charger achievement.
“I know it wasn’t intentional. That’s racing. We were fortunate to have timed well enough that I could start on the front row of the B-main,” Ross said of the contact in the heat race that cost him a chance to transfer directly to the main event.
The bump in the road doesn’t diminish the momentum Ross has built thus far in the 2026 season. The team has established a solid foundation of speed to build on this summer.
During the recent six-race top-ten streak, on three occasions Ross raced from a starting position outside the top ten to achieve the result. Ross is looking to continue the speed the team has shown and the ability to pass cars, but take the next step.
“Like I said before, we know we need to get a little bit
better early in the evening, and we will be fine. We need to stick to what
we know and not outthink ourselves. If we do that, we will convert those top
ten finishes into top fives and podiums into wins,” Ross commented.
SWAG, PLUS THE ROAD AHEAD
Ross has new 2026 merch in stock for fans. T-shirts and hoodies are available in black or grey. Pick up your favorite at the track behind the grandstand or at the team’s trailer in the pits.
Shirts are $25, and hoodies are $40. There is a limited supply of hoodies, so get yours now!
The busy summer schedule, including Pennsylvania Speedweek, lies ahead, so after the recent busy stretch of demanding races, Ross will take the upcoming weekend off to rebuild and regroup.
Ross Racing has not set its schedule for the remainder of the season yet, but it will likely look very similar to the pick-and-choose approach they have used thus far in 2026, with frequent appearances at Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, with other big races added to the mix on occasion.
As of now, plans are for Ross to return to the track on May 30th at Lincoln Speedway for the PA Posse Series event.
Fans should follow “Ross Racing 5” on Facebook to keep up
with schedule updates and news throughout Tyler’s season!
ABOUT TYLER ROSS

At the age of 18, he started his sprint car career in the 358 division and, shortly after, jumped to the 410 division. He owns (9) 358 sprint wins, (4) 360 URC feature wins, and (7) 410 sprint car feature wins, plus he earned the 2015 URC Rookie of the Year award.

Covington Nets Ark-La-Tex Speedway Victory
Glenpool, OK (May 20th, 2026) — Matt Covington Racing put together an
impressive weekend at Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, Louisiana, highlighted
by a Saturday night victory after using notes and adjustments from Friday’s
event to dial in the setup and park the Reece Construction/Missel
Motorsports No. 95 in Victory Lane.
Friday night began on a strong note for Matt Covington, who started from the pole in his heat race and drove to a convincing win. That performance lined the Glenpool, Oklahoma driver up sixth for the A-Feature on a slick and challenging racing surface.
In the main event, Covington battled inside the top five throughout the race and brought home a solid fourth-place finish. While the team was close on setup, the slick track conditions left them searching for just a little more balance and rear drive to contend for the win.
“We were definitely in the ballpark Friday night, but just
needed a little more balance and grip in the rear to really challenge for
the win,” Covington said. “It was one of those nights where you know you’re
close, and we felt like if we made a few adjustments, we’d have something
better for Saturday.”
Saturday night proved exactly that.
Following the draw, Covington started third in his heat race and advanced to a second-place finish, earning the fifth starting position for the A-Feature.
When the green flag dropped, Covington wasted little time charging toward the front. By lap three, he was challenging for the lead, and once he took control of the race, he never looked back in his TripleX/Fisher Racing Engines mount. Armed with a much-improved race car and setup changes based off Friday’s notes, Covington drove away to capture his second win of the 2026 season.
“Steven and I made some really good adjustments after Friday, and the car was exactly what we needed on Saturday,” Covington said. “It had great balance, great drive, and once we got out front it clean air it was even better. When you have cars like that it is fun to drive, this was a great team win.”
Covington was quick to recognize the behind-the-scenes effort that helped make the weekend a success.
“Steven works tirelessly to keep this car prepared and ready every night, and his effort doesn’t go unnoticed,” Covington added. “I also can’t thank all of our sponsors and partners enough. It takes a lot of people to keep this operation going, and we’re thankful to have the support we do.”
The weekend’s strong performance gives Matt Covington Racing valuable momentum as the team continues its chase through the 2026 American Sprint Car Series and other season events.

forecast. Once plans are decided, Matt and the team will update the website

He also held records at 5, 6, 10 and 15 laps.

Hartmann shows speed at Plymouth, sights in Wilmot-141
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 20, 2026 – Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team uncovered the key to speed for a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event on their home turf at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, May 16.
With 32 IRA cars checked in for the evening, Hartmann blazed out of the gate to record the fourth fastest qualifying lap in a fleet 11.490 seconds.
The Plymouth, Wis. driver went on to earn an IRA dash berth with a fifth-place showing in the fourth heat race. The seventh-year Sprint Car competitor gained the seventh starting position in the 30-lap IRA main event after placing fourth in the first four-lap dash.
Hartmann kept pace near the front of the field in the early stages of the A main before advancing to fourth on a lap 23 restart. After briefly pressuring Logan Julien for third, Hartmann engaged in a duel with Zach Daum for fourth.
After falling to fifth on lap 24, Hartmann battled back to pull even with Daum in turn one on the following lap. However, the two drivers made contact, resulting in a slow rollover.
The resulting damage caused Hartmann to retire from the race with a 20th-place showing to his credit.
“We put a lot of work in during the offseason preparing for the season, which is ultimately what led to the speed we had at Plymouth,” Hartmann said. “We really weren’t that good all night until the feature. We just kept working on it to make it better.
“In the feature, we were still missing the last little bit to go forward,” he said. “We were good early, but cars getting into trouble is what helped us. The crash wasn’t too bad on our end. It was just a racing deal, going hard for a top-five spot. The car is back together, and we’re ready for Wilmot.”
The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is scheduled to compete in a pair of IRA events during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday, May 23, the team will travel to Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., for the annual Founders Night event, and Sunday, May 24, will see action at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis.
Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6:45 p.m. at Wilmot Raceway. At 141 Speedway, spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled at 6 p.m.

Arenz keeps steady at Plymouth, preps for IRA doubleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 20, 2026 – Travis Arenz and his Travis Arenz Motorsports Team maintained their early-season consistency with a third-straight top-10 A-main run in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, May 16.
Arenz came out of the gate on blast by registering the second-fastest qualifying lap in the 32-car field in 11.471 seconds. The 19th-year competitor posted a third-place showing in the second heat race to earn his third straight IRA dash appearance of the 2026 campaign.
After placing fourth in the second IRA dash, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver rolled off eighth for the 30-lap main event. Arenz advanced from ninth in the early stages of the race into seventh near the halfway point.
The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion secured sixth on lap 25 before coming home seventh to register his third straight top-10 showing in 2026 IRA action.
“We were second quick in qualifying but didn’t have a good enough car to compete for a podium finish in the feature,” Arenz said. “We made the dash again, which is extremely helpful with getting extra laps with this new car, but I didn’t go far enough on setup to get it where it needed to be. Overall, I’m glad to make it through the night with no issues.”
Arenz is looking forward to entering a pair of IRA events during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday, May 23, the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team will head to Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., for the annual Founders Night event. The action then moves to 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., on Sunday, May 24.
Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6:45 p.m. at Wilmot Raceway. At 141 Speedway, spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled at 6 p.m.
All IRA events are streamed live on floracing.com.

POWRi 410 Sprint Event at Electric City Speedway Postponed Due to Weather Conditions
Belleville, IL. (5/19/26) - Officials with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League and Electric City Speedway have announced the postponement of the scheduled event on Friday, May 22, after significant area rainfall and continued unfavorable weather forecasts have left the facility unable to host competition. With the amount of rain already received at the track and additional precipitation expected, officials determined this was the best decision for all involved, as the facility grounds have taken on too much water to properly prepare for racing conditions and ensure a quality experience for teams and fans.
Following substantial rainfall throughout the week, Electric City Speedway has received six inches of rain since Monday morning, with more expected through Thursday and Friday. Current flood warnings in the area, combined with already saturated grounds at both the racing surface and facility parking, have created conditions unsuitable for race operations.
The postponed event will be rescheduled at a later date, with Electric City Speedway and POWRi officials currently working together to determine an appropriate makeup date. Additional details regarding the rescheduled event will be released once finalized. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to POWRi and Electric City Speedway social media channels for future updates and schedule announcements. All presold tickets will be fully refunded through MyRacePass to the original purchase method.
At the time of this announcement, Saturday and Sunday’s POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League event at Lake Ozark Speedway remains scheduled as planned. Officials will continue to monitor weather conditions and provide updates should any changes occur.
Details about Electric City Speedway, including full schedule, season points, and driver spotlights, can be found online at https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/1124 or by following along on major social media platforms | 5634 NE County Road 3, Butler, MO 64730 | (660) 464-9034.

Starks Produces Runner-Up Result at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (May 19, 2026) – Trey Starks kept his top-five streak to start the season alive with his fifth straight last Saturday at Skagit Speedway.
Starks opened the 410ci winged sprint car program by setting quick time during qualifying before he maneuvered from fourth to third place in a heat race.
“We started out the night good,” he said. “The track had a lot of rain leading up to it so we knew it’d be narrow and fast. We went quick time and finished third in the heat race. We got a good start and into third and then rode there. Then we drew the six out of six in the feature redraw so not so great there.”
Starks moved into fifth place on the opening lap. He advanced to third on Lap 3 and into the runner-up position on Lap 15.
“There was a pretty good bump going into turn one and depending on how you hit it it’d upset your car,” he said. “A couple of cars in front of me started bouncing and I stayed low enough to get by both to get into third. Then the two leaders got racing pretty good and second place bounced and spun around so that put us into second about the midpoint of the feature. Robbie (Price) was really fast in clean track. We had a couple of restarts, but I couldn’t get by him. It was going to take a mistake from him for us to pass him, but he ran a good race and we finished second.”
Starks currently ranks second in the 410 championship standings by eight points.
He is back to double duty at Skagit Speedway this Saturday, competing in both the 410ci winged sprint car and 360ci winged sprint car divisions. Starks is the current leader in the 360 championship standings by 44 points.
If all goes well on Saturday, Starks plans on wrapping up the weekend by racing at the Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic on Sunday at Cottage Grove Speedway in Cottage Grove, Ore.
“It’ll be busy with the two on Saturday and making the trek on Sunday, but that’s one of the bigger races in the Northwest and one of the ones we look forward to each year,” he said. “It should be a fun weekend.”
QUICK RESULTS –
May 16 – Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 3 (4); Feature: 2 (6).
SEASON STATS –
5 races, 3 wins, 5 top fives, 5 top 10s, 5 top 15s, 5 top 20s

Three Decades at the Helm: Rick Dawson’s Legacy at Anderson Speedway
For 30 years, Anderson Speedway has been under the leadership of Rick Dawson, a milestone that now makes him the longest-tenured owner in the track’s history. In a sport defined by constant change, financial pressure, and generational turnover, three decades at the same helm represents more than longevity — it reflects persistence, adaptation, and a long-term commitment to keeping a historic racing venue alive.
Even as Dawson reaches this milestone, he is careful not to frame it as an endpoint or a final achievement. For him, the work of owning a racetrack is never truly finished. The goal has always been stability, sustainability, and survival not a destination.
When he purchased Anderson Speedway in the fall of 1996, Dawson admits he did not yet fully understand the depth of the business he was entering. What he did understand was the need to learn quickly and completely. The early years were defined by a steep learning curve, especially when it came to the financial realities of operating a racetrack.
The biggest challenge in those early seasons was gaining control of the speedway’s finances while working with limited capital. The track was underfunded, and every decision carried weight. That meant long hours, tight margins, and very little room for error. In many ways, those years shaped the foundation of everything that followed.
There were moments throughout that early period that continuing forward was not guaranteed. The pressure of responsibility, both financially and personally, forced difficult questions. But turning back was never seriously considered. Instead, Dawson pushed through, driven by determination and a refusal to let the effort fall apart after it had begun.
A major part of that perseverance was rooted in purpose. From the beginning, Dawson had a clear vision for transforming Anderson Speedway into a place that felt safe, welcoming, and family-oriented. When he purchased the track, he saw the opportunity to reshape its reputation into one where families could attend together and feel comfortable doing so.
That vision became a long-term focus, not just a short-term improvement. Over time, the culture of the speedway shifted. What was once seen differently by many in the community evolved into a gathering place built around families, tradition, and shared experiences.
Today, that identity remains one of the defining characteristics of Anderson Speedway. It is not just a racing facility, it is a community hub where generations return year after year. Drivers, crews, and fans often trace their involvement across decades, reinforcing the sense that the speedway is part of something larger than racing alone.
Looking back, Dawson does not point to a single defining moment as the highlight of his ownership. Instead, he reflects on broader achievements, especially seeing the speedway’s reputation and events regain strength and recognition over time. One of the most significant accomplishments has been the continued growth and restoration of the Little 500. It remains the cornerstone event of the track’s identity. Car counts, competition level, and national attention have all strengthened, helping re-establish the race as one of the premier racing events in the United States.
Like many short tracks across the country, Anderson Speedway has had to adapt in order to remain viable. That has meant thinking creatively, expanding offerings, and ensuring the facility continues to serve both competitors and fans in new ways.
After 30 years, one of Dawson’s most meaningful reflections is not tied to attendance numbers or major races, but to the structure he has built behind the scenes. Having the ability to build a stronger staff and delegate responsibilities has helped stabilize the operation and reduce the personal strain that comes with ownership. That shift has not only improved the business side of the speedway but also created the possibility of stepping back from constant day-to-day pressure.
Still, the overarching theme of Dawson’s tenure is ongoing effort. There is no sense of completion in his approach, only continuation. The track still requires attention, adaptation, and care, just as it did on day one.
Three decades later, Rick Dawson’s legacy at Anderson Speedway is defined less by a single achievement and more by endurance. Through financial challenges, operational demands, and years of uncertainty, he has kept the speedway alive and evolving. In doing so, he has helped preserve one of Indiana’s most iconic racing venues and ensured that its future remains connected to its past.
SCCT ventures to Marysville Raceway for $5,000-to-win Hall Memorial on Sunday
By Gary Thomas
Marysville, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is geared up to embark upon a busy stretch that gets underway this Sunday May 24th at Marysville Raceway’s annual “Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial.”
The Memorial Day weekend event is just the second race of the season for SCCT and the only appearance at Marysville Raceway this year.
The www.shopkylelarson.com main event dishes out
$5,000-to-win/ $400-to-start during the 26th annual Mel & Marlyn Hall
Memorial. The runner up this Sunday night will also receive elevated pay at
$2,500.
Racing was certainly a passion of the Hall family. They epitomized the great
strengths of being at the forefront of the sport when it came to on-track
racing and off-track promotions.
Mel Hall believed in a united Sprint Car traveling organization and in the early 1990’s was one of the founding fathers of the Civil War Series, which is fundamentally what the Sprint Car Challenge Tour continues in the Golden State.
With their unmeasurable work ethic, the Halls were heavily involved in the now defunct Ernie Purcell Speedway in Grass Valley, before taking over operation of Twin Cities Speedway (now Marysville Raceway) in late 1994.
Hall is credited with bringing professional Sprint Car racing to the Yuba-Sutter facility, which persists in this very day under the current management of Gage Promotions.
The Hall’s left their ego at the door and did the things needed for a successful series and management of Marysville Raceway. They never did this for fame and glory or pats on the back. They were simple people who had a vision and did the best they could to make it a reality. Mel passed away on May 22, 1999, and we lost Marlyn in August of 2020.
Opening night for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour in early April saw Yuba City’s Landon Brooks flash to his initial SCCT triumph over Castro Valley’s Jake Andreotti and young Landon Henry from Sacramento. Round two at Merced Speedway on April 25th then suffered a rainout following qualifying.
Justin Sanders has captured the last two Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial wins and was the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger on opening night with SCCT.
Six-time Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial victor Andy Forsberg
will be another favorite come Sunday. The two-time Sprint Car Challenge Tour
champion hopes to break a two-way tie with Colby Wiesz for the most wins in
event history.
After Marysville, the SCCT 360s will contest the “Davy Thomas Memorial” just
six days later in Placerville on Saturday May 30th.
“Wings Over Wine Country” then awaits the tour at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday June 13th, followed by the 66th “Johnny Key Classic” at Watsonville Speedway on Saturday June 20th.
Tickets and Details:
Adult tickets at Marysville Raceway this Sunday May 24th cost $24; while juniors 12-15, seniors 62+ and military are $20; kids 6-11 cost $10 and those five and under will be free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2026
The pit gate will open at 3pm, with the front grandstand gate opening at 5pm.
The Marysville Raceway is in Marysville, California. From the Junction of HWY 70 and HWY 20 (12th Street), go a quarter mile east on HWY 20. Turn south onto Ramirez Road for 1.5 miles. The physical address is 1468 Simpson Ln, Marysville, CA 95901.
For those who can’t make it to the track CaliDirt.TV provides live coverage of every Sprint Car Challenge Tour event. The service also covers every championship point race at Placerville Speedway. Fans can purchase through a cost savings monthly membership or on a per race basis via https://calidirt.tv/

Pokorski dials in 2026 IRA debut, High Limit-Outlaws up next
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 19, 2026 – With a new look, team alignment, and intended schedule on the docket, Alex Pokorski and the GR8 Team rolled out their 2026 campaign by entering a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, May 16.
Behind the wheel of a black-and-blue No. 4 car, Pokorski opened the night strong by qualifying sixth in the 32-car field with a lap of 11.528 seconds. In the second heat race, the seventh-year Sprint Car competitor posted a sixth-place finish from the third starting spot, coming up one spot short of an A-main transfer position.
After lining up on the pole of the 12-lap IRA B main, Pokorski led flag-to-flag to earn his first race victory of the 2026 season. The West Bend native launched from 21st in the 30-lap A main, endured two caution flags, and a red flag period on the way to a 15th-place showing.
“I felt the night was a mixed bag,” Pokorski said. “I got to shake off some rust, but also had a steep learning curve with plenty of new changes to our car. We had some flashes of speed with a sixth-place qualifying effort and a B main win, but struggled a bit in the heat and feature. Now we are getting things sorted and ready to go for the High Limit shows.”
Pokorski is preparing to make his national tour series debut with a pair of Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing events at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wis., on Wednesday, June 3, and Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis., on Thursday, June 4.
Pokorski will close out the week by entering his first career NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, June 6.

SCCT event at Merced Speedway rescheduled for championship weekend
Merced, CA…The Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Merced Speedway are pleased to announce the previously rained out event from last month has been rescheduled for Friday November 6th.
The show will now be part of championship weekend for SCCT, combined with the annual “Tribute to Gary Patterson” at the Stockton Dirt Track on Saturday November 7th.
“We are happy to have the opportunity to make up the rainout from April at Merced Speedway,” commented SCCT President Scott Russell. “We think this will create a perfect weekend of racing for teams and fans to finish off the SCCT season with a centrally located Merced/ Stockton double header.”
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour event at Merced Speedway also gives racers and fans a pair of Winged 360 Sprint Car events in November on the high banks, with the Chase Johnson Classic taking place on November 21st.
“Merced Speedway looks forward to hosting SCCT for the make up date in November,” said track GM Doug Lockwood. “We looked at the calendar and felt that adding this race to championship weekend and pairing it with Stockton was the best possible option. It will also be a nice tune up for the Chase Johnson Classic a couple weeks later.”
For those who have a red ticket to grandstands and/or a pit pass from the rainout, you can redeem them on November 6th. Red tickets are good for stands, while pit passes are good for the pit area (must have the pit band from rainout).

Tri City Raceway Park Serves Up a Double Dose of
Excitement This Weekend!
Venango County's favorite half-mile track is gearing up for
an action-packed weekend that racing fans won’t want to miss. While one
night of racing is always thrilling, this weekend, Tri City Raceway Park is
turning up the heat with a double-header of high-octane action.
Friday Night Features – 4-Star Racing & Fan Favorites
Kick off the weekend on Friday with a lineup of exciting races. The
spotlight will be on the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars, where
fans will see some of the best in the business battling it out. Last week,
fan favorite Bob Felmlee made headlines with a victory—turning laps in the
116-mph range! At 64 years young, Felmlee’s first win dates back to 1987,
making him the second all-time leading feature winner in this class with 35
wins. That’s a career spanning over three decades of pure racing passion.
Also on Friday, the RK Virgile Iron and Steel Pro Stocks will be looking to
see if the track’s all-time leading winner, Bobby Whitling, can make it two
wins in a row. With 65 career victories under his belt, Whitling shows no
signs of slowing down. The class features tough competitors like Curt E Bish,
his son Jake Whitling, Andy Buckley, and Curt L Bish Jr., all eager to
challenge the veteran.
The 21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars will also be in action. The
big question—can anyone stop Blaze Myers? The defending track champion has
won six straight races dating back to last year. Last week, he pulled off a
dramatic last lap pass to keep his streak alive, but racers like Zach
Morrow, Wyatt Long, Charlie Utsinger, Ricky Tucker III, and Lucas Roessner
are hungry to end it.
And don’t miss the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars. William Baker
has become the driver to beat here, aiming for his fourth consecutive win.
Will the defending champ Raiden Wilson, Cameron Kramer, or others spoil his
streak? Come find out.
Additionally, Friday evening will feature an open practice session for the
Late Models, giving teams a chance to test the new track surface ahead of
the weekend’s big races.
Sunday, May 24 – The First Sunday Special!
Mark your calendars for the season’s first big Sunday race, starting at 6:30
p.m. The BRP Big Block Modifieds will make their first appearance of the
year at Tri City—an event that’s been a staple here for 36 seasons. Led by
Erik Rudolph with six wins—including one last year—fans will also see Rex
King Jr., the tour’s defending champion, with three checkered flags, and
Colten Walters, who scored his first tour win last September and is eager
for back-to-back victories. With the holiday weekend bringing a possible
influx of big block Modifieds, this race promises plenty of thrilling
moments.
The RUSH Touring Late Models will also be on the card, with Kyle Hardy and
Daryl Charlier both having scored wins in 2023. A strong field of cars is
expected, competing for a $4,000 top prize. Plus, the RUSH Modifieds will
make their only appearance of the season. Chas Wolbert, with four wins, will
be challenged by Todd English, who is chasing his third straight Checker.
All the Sunday action kicks off at 6:30 p.m.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 19, 2026 – After making a just pair of brief cameo appearances behind the wheel during the 2025 season, Randy Post came out firing in his 2026 Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MMW Industrial Supply Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car debut on Saturday, May 16, at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.
The Oostburg driver opened his fifth season in the seat of his No. 54 360 Sprint Car by qualifying 27th overall in the 32-car field with a lap of 13.239 seconds around the venerable third-mile semi-banked clay oval.
Post went on to finish sixth after starting seventh in the fourth 8-lap heat race, then finished a strong second from the third starting position in the 12-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car B Main.
His second-place B Main run gave him the 18th starting position in the 25-lap main event. Post put together a smooth and consistent race to come home 19th in his first race since July 26, 2025.
“Qualifying was pretty good,” Post said. “It was way loose, but I made it work. For the heat race, we threw some adjustments at the car and may have gone a little overboard. The car was on the snug side for heat. In the B main, the car felt really good once I figured out where the track was smooth enough not to upset the car.
“The A main was tricky,” he said. “I haven’t driven on a rutted-up track like that very much. The only other time I’ve been on a track like that was at Angell Park a couple of years ago. It was a very exhausting race, but it was a lot of fun. I’m glad we made the trek out and were able to put it in the show. After pretty much missing all year last year and just getting back in now with no practice, I was very happy with the results.”
Post is tentatively planning to compete next at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 30, and Saturday, June 6.
Sponsorship partners and supporters of Randy Post and the 2026 Randy Post Racing Team include Luedtke Electric, Oostburg Automotive, Nyhof Insulation, Harbor Lights Resort, PMI, Behling Racing, Gundrum Trucking, and Pedal Down Promotions.

Immortality Awaits: Previewing the 78th Annual Little 500
There is nothing quite like Little 500 week at Anderson Speedway.
For nearly eight decades, the Little 500 has stood as the ultimate test in pavement sprint car racing. 500 grueling laps around Anderson Speedway’s quarter-mile oval where patience, strategy, durability, and speed all collide under the lights. It is the biggest pavement sprint car race on the planet, and on Saturday night, one driver will add their name to one of short-track racing’s most prestigious winner’s lists.
The 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by Ed Martin Automotive Group once again features a stacked field filled with former winners, national champions, local heroes, seasoned veterans, and hungry newcomers, all chasing the same goal: immortality.
Here are the biggest storylines heading into Little 500
week:
Four Former Winners Return
Winning the Little 500 once cements a driver’s legacy. Winning it twice puts them among the race’s all-time greats.
This year’s field includes four former champions, led by Jake Trainor (Medway, Massachusetts), who enters as the defending winner and newest two-time champion. Trainor’s victory last year further established him as one of pavement sprint car racing’s premier talents, and another win would place him in rare company.
Joining him is fellow two-time winner Tyler Roahrig (Plymouth, Indiana), whose consistency at Anderson Speedway makes him one of the favorites every time he unloads. Roahrig’s ability to survive the race’s constantly changing conditions makes him a major threat deep into the 500-lap grind.
Bobby Santos III (Franklin, Massachusetts), one of the most decorated pavement racers of his generation, returns looking to capture his second Little 500 victory. Few drivers are better at managing long races while preserving equipment.
The benchmark among active competitors remains Kody Swanson
(Kingsburg, California), whose three Little 500 victories have solidified
his status as one of the event’s modern legends. Any former winner in this
race immediately becomes a contender the moment practice begins.
Dakoda Armstrong Chasing Redemption
Few drivers have come closer to winning the Little 500 without officially earning the victory than Dakoda Armstrong (New Castle, Indiana).
Two years ago, he appeared destined for victory until cousin Caleb Armstrong made one of the most dramatic last-corner passes in event history to steal the win.
Last year was even more heartbreaking. Armstrong crossed the finish line first after 500 laps, seemingly earning the biggest win of his career, only to be disqualified following post-race technical inspection.
The disappointment fueled Armstrong throughout the 2025 season, where he captured the 500 yourBigplans.com Sprint Car Tour championship.
Now, he returns to Anderson Speedway carrying both momentum
and unfinished business. If redemption stories define motorsports, Armstrong
may be writing one of the best.
Ryan Newman Returns for Another Shot
When Ryan Newman joined the Little 500 field in 2023, he brought national attention to Anderson Speedway.
The 2008 Daytona 500 champion and longtime NASCAR star has embraced the challenge of adapting to pavement sprint car racing’s unique demands. Through three starts, Newman has improved each year, with a career-best sixth-place finish.
What makes Newman dangerous is his ability to learn quickly and conserve equipment over long-distance races. Few drivers in the field possess his level of race management experience.
With another year of seat time and growing confidence,
Newman enters his fourth Little 500 appearance as a legitimate contender.
The Return of the Randy Neal No. 7
Few numbers carry as much recent Little 500 significance as the Randy Neal-owned No. 7.
The car captured the 2024 Little 500 with Caleb Armstrong and played a critical role in Dakoda Armstrong’s 2025 500 Sprint Car Tour championship run.
After sitting out last year’s Little 500, the No. 7 returns with a new driver and high expectations.
Behind the wheel is Justin Grant, the all-time winningest driver in USAC National Sprint Car history. Grant has built a reputation as one of open-wheel racing’s most complete drivers, capable of winning on dirt or pavement against elite competition.
Saturday marks his fifth Little 500 attempt and perhaps his
best opportunity yet.
AP Driver Development Expands
The familiar Aaron Pierce-led No. 26 has become one of pavement sprint car racing’s most respected programs, and this year AP Driver Development arrives with two serious entries.
Colton Bettis returns after a breakout Little 500 debut in 2025 that saw the Florida teenager qualify on the front row and showcase remarkable poise against veterans.
Bettis now returns with experience and confidence, making him one of the field’s most intriguing young threats.
Alongside him is Anderson Speedway legend Josh Poore, who will make his long-awaited Little 500 debut.
Poore’s seven Anderson Speedway track championships make him one of the most accomplished local racers in track history, but the Little 500 presents an entirely different challenge.
No driver knows Anderson’s surface better. If he adapts
quickly to sprint car strategy and endurance pacing, he could become one of
the biggest surprise stories of the week.
Rookie Class Ready for the Spotlight
The Little 500 often humbles even the most accomplished drivers, making this year’s rookie class especially compelling.
Mario Clouser brings extensive dirt and pavement open-wheel experience and enters with expectations far beyond a typical first-timer. His adaptability could make him the most dangerous rookie in the field.
Chris Schmelzle travels from Washington state to make his first appearance, adding a national flavor to this year’s event.
Ohio’s Cord Erhardt also enters eager to prove himself on one of pavement racing’s biggest stages.
Local racer Josh Poore is the fourth and final rookie.
Simply making the field is an achievement. Finishing 500
laps is another challenge entirely.
Pole Day and Bump Day Drama Ahead
Little 500 week is about far more than race night.
CB Fabricating Pole Day, Thursday will determine who starts at the front and who gains early momentum.
Then comes Bump Day, where qualifying pressure reaches its peak as drivers fight for the final starting spots in one of short-track racing’s most intense traditions.
History has shown that championships and heartbreak can
begin long before Saturday’s green flag.
The Ultimate Test Awaits
Five hundred laps around Anderson Speedway is unlike anything else in motorsports.
That unpredictability is what makes the Little 500 special.
On Saturday night, one driver will conquer the chaos, survive the grind, and join the legends who have defined Anderson Speedway for generations.
The wait is almost over. The Little 500 is here.
Practice for teams begins on Wednesday, May 20th from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. CB Fabricating Pole Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 21st from 11:30am – 3:30pm.
Final practice and Bump Day is set for Friday, May 22nd from 11:30am to 3:30pm. Grandstand admission is free for fans Wednesday through Friday and race day tickets are reserved seating only. Click Here to purchase tickets.
The event, including practice and qualifying, will also be streamed live on Racing America. For more information on the Little 500, visit us at andersonspeedway.com and on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

REUTZEL’S RICHES: Aaron Reutzel continues winning ways in Ohio; Grandview and Port Royal to continue High Limit campaign
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (May 18, 2026) - “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) have been borderline unbeatable, most notably in the last few weeks, continuing their winning ways with Ohio triumphs at Fremont Speedway and Attica Raceway Park on Tuesday and Thursday, May 12 & 14, respectively.
The events, $20,000-to-win each, were impressive accomplishments in their own right, first sweeping Fremont’s entire program against the All Star Circuit of Champions, all before a dramatic finish at Attica that saw the Clute, Texas, native take command from Tanner Thorson with four circuits remaining. As an added luxury, Reutzel earned an extra $10,000 for his feats - a bonus promoted by the Ohio tracks leading up to the high profile week.
In addition, Reutzel, the ace of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, earned top-fives in visits to Eldora Speedway on Friday, May 15, and Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, May 16, concluding competition with fourth and second-place finishes, respectively. Friday’s start at “The Big E” featured the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, and Saturday’s contest at Port Royal featured the Keith Kauffman Classic - an unofficial preamble to Memorial Day weekend’s Bob Weikert Memorial awarding $100,000. Reutzel is the reigning champion of the prestigious event, saluted with the coveted Bob Weikert Bull Trophy.
“It’s been a whirlwind, in a good way, that’s for sure,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, noted. “When you’re on, you’re on, and right now things are on. Our confidence is high and our momentum is ever higher. We have a big week on tap with no signs of slowing down. We’re excited to keep this going.”
ON DECK:
Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing will continue their 2026 Interstate
Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with a trip to Central Pennsylvania,
visiting Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville on Tuesday, May 19, followed by
Port Royal Speedway’s $100,000-to-win Bob Weikert Memorial on Friday through
Sunday, May 22-24. In addition to Flo, Tuesday’s event will be broadcast
live via FS1.

Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports eye Bull Trophy in Bob Weikert Memorial; Grandview to launch week Tuesday
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (May 18, 2026) - The “Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports have plenty to prep for, as the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing schedule is set to continue tomorrow evening - Tuesday, May 19 - with a visit to Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania, followed by the $100,000-to-win Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway on Friday through Sunday, May 22-24.

“It was good to get some laps in at Port Royal,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports’ Crew Chief, explained. “We weren’t sure what the weather was going to do at Eldora on Saturday, so we made the choice to head east. It worked in our favor…gave us a chance to try some things and fine tune our program before the Weikert. It’s going to be a great week.”

Western PA Speedweek
May 18, 2026 (Columbus, OH)…The Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating is excited to partner with Sharon Speedway to introduce the inaugural running of the Floyd Trevis Memorial as the marquee event of Western PA Speedweek. The $5,000 to-win special for the popular “410” Sprint Car miniseries is slated for Saturday, May 30th with a strong field of cars expected to be on hand.
As a great addition to the celebration of Floyd Trevis’s
accomplishments, one of his original sprint cars will be on display before
and during the event behind the speedway grandstands. Tom Burkey of western
Ohio, a longtime racing enthusiast, car owner and sponsor, also has a hobby
of preserving history. He has done just that with one of the early Trevis
Craft cars. In his possession is a restored car that was originally built in
1968 and raced by none other than Lou Blaney in 1969.
Restored 1968 Trevis Craft sprint car driven by Lou Blaney (#10)
Working out of his home garage in Youngstown, Ohio, the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame member Floyd Trevis is known for his efforts and success in sprint car racing as well as his achievements at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Focusing first on his ties to sprint car racing, Floyd can be described as one of the fathers of the modern-day sprint car. The first two mounts were built in 1963, with one going to each of Lou Blaney and Dean Mast. Of the countless wins that were captured in the “Trevis Craft” sprint cars, none were more remarkable than those of the Bob Weikert owned #29 and driver Kenny Weld. By way of their 1971 built Trevis chassis, the duo won a total of 146 features including the Knoxville Nationals and Williams Grove National Open in consecutive years (1972 & 1973). Other notable drivers to sport a Trevis Craft on track include Dave Blaney, Larry Dickson, Ray Tilley, Gus Linder, Ralph Quarterson, Mitch Smith, Kenny & Greg Weld, Smokey Snellbaker, Lynn Paxton, Dick Tobias, Joe Saldana, Jan Opperman, Keith Kauffman, Gary Bettenhausen, Paul Pitzer, Lee Osborne and Billy Cassella.
As influential as Floyd Trevis’s designs were in sprint car racing, his decades-long exploits at the historic Indianapolis Motor may supersede that. He is routinely credited with entering into competition one of the most unusual and unique that the Indianapolis 500 has ever seen. His first appearance as an owner and builder came in 1946 when Trevis arrived with a car that utilized two supercharged 91-cubic inch midget engines, effectively giving the car four-wheel drive. After spending years as both an owner, chassis builder and chief mechanic, decades of design and development finally culminated in a Trevis-built car winning the Indianapolis 500 in 1961 with A.J. Foyt behind the wheel.
Coupled with Floyd Trevis’s career achievements is his direct ties to the current ownership of Sharon Speedway. As mentioned previously, one of the first two cars built went to local sensation Lou Blaney, whose son Dave Blaney is now a part owner of Sharon Speedway following an illustrious career in sprint cars that eventually led to a path in NASCAR. Dave also sported a Trevis Craft at the track early on in his racing career. Lou Blaney’s grandson Ryan, recognized as a NASCAR standout in his own right, also signed on recently as a part owner of the Hartford, OH oval.
Not to be outdone, the final piece of the Sharon Speedway triumvirate also has interesting ties to the Trevis chassis. Local businessman and racer Will Thomas recently joined the Sharon Speedway ownership group as well, and his father Bill Thomas fielded race cars for years, which at one time included a Trevis Craft design. One of the most successful cars out of the Bill Thomas/Crash Brothers stable was affectionately dubbed the “CMT Special”.
The highly anticipated Floyd Trevis Memorial highlights a quickly approaching Western PA Speedweek. The feature purse includes a speedweek high $5,000 winner’s share and $400 just to start the main event. Additional awards and contingencies will be doled out as well with a full listing of the purse and prizes shown below.
The Saturday, May 30th event will mark the fifth visit to Sharon Speedway by Western PA Speedweek. Past winners include Ryan Smith ('21 & '24), A.J. Flick ('22) and Dave Blaney ('23). Mother Nature was victorious in 2025 as the race was cancelled due to rain and unseasonably cold temperatures.
FULL PAYOUT: 1. $5,000; 2. $2,000; 3. $1,500; 4. $1,000; 5. $900; 6. $800; 7. $700; 8. $600; 9. $550; 10. $500; 11. $475; 12. $450; 13. $425; 14-24. $400; Tow $100

Event: #LetsRaceTwo
Track: Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio)
Rico Abreu A-Main Finishes:
Friday: 1st (7th)
Saturday: 2nd (4th)
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 18, 2026) - St. Helena, California’s
Rico Abreu was almost perfect in his two-day visit to Eldora Speedway in
Rossburg, Ohio, concluding the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series’ #LetsRaceTwo
weekend on May 15 & May 16 with back-to-back podiums. In fact, Abreu, a
full-time ace with High Limit Racing who is currently third in the
championship, launched his weekend effort with a victory - his first at the
“Big E” under the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing banner.
Abreu, the pilot of Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Curb Records,
Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s
Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 24 sprint car, secured his triumph from seventh
on the grid, locking down a $12,000 payday while simultaneously increasing
his overall win count with the Greatest Show On Dirt to 22.
“This team, man, these guys,” Abreu said, quick to credit
his crew led by Ricky Warner. “I know I talk about them a lot, but they’re
the backbone of this sport. We had an unbelievable racetrack, multiple
grooves. I was able to just float around the first 10 laps or so of the race
and just really dissect my car. I was waiting for a little bit of fuel to
burn off so I could be a little more aggressive on the entrance.”
As noted, Abreu’s weekend effort concluded with back-to-back podiums, eventually capping #LetsRaceTwo’s two-day showstopper with a runner-up result on Saturday, May 16; he started fourth.
Abreu’s career win total at Eldora Speedway now stands at 14.

Mallett Extends Top-Five Streak to Six Consecutive After Two Podiums at Ark-La-Tex Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – VIVIAN, La. (May 18, 2026) – Jordon Mallett posted a pair of podium finishes last weekend during an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints doubleheader at Ark-La-Tex Speedway.
Mallett’s results of second and third, respectively, during his debut at the track gives him six straight top-five finishes – his best run since seven in a row in the late summer of 2024. His career-best streak is eight consecutive top fives in 2020.
“Now that we’re able to race it’s showing we have a super consistent program,” he said. “We expect to be on the podium every night. We’re not one bit complacent. We’re trying stuff very night so to continue having that consistency is extremely encouraging and is a testament to A.G. (Rains) and his program.”
Mallett advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race on Friday before a late rally from the ninth starting position netted a runner-up result in the A Main. His seven positions gained earned the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars. His second-place finish also tied a season-best outing.
“I felt really good,” he said. “We were a late bloomer there in the feature. We were just okay early on, but the car really started to come to life the last 10 or 11 laps. We were able to roll through there, make good speed and have a lot of maneuverability. I wish we could have had more laps because we were able to make a lot of speed those last laps.”
Mallett continued to run strong on Saturday when he placed second in a heat race before advancing from sixth to third place in the A Main.
“We were in a little better position on Saturday night,” he said. “We made a few changes to make us better early on. The track was a little different and was bottom dominant. I was able to make speed on the top, but not move forward. I rode around in sixth or seventh most of the feature. Once we started to get toward the latter stages of the race my car kept getting better. We were able to do some things differently on restarts to use the top just enough to outrun the bottom for a lap. We made a late-race charge to get on the podium.”
USCS Series Speedweek runs the next two weekends, starting with shows this Friday at Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo.; Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.; Sunday at Old No. 1 Speedway in Harrisburg, Ark.; and Monday at Pine Ridge Speedway in Guntown, Miss.
“I’ve been waiting on Speedweek,” Mallett said. “It’s where you can do better going back-to-back-to-back. The weather doesn’t look great for this weekend, which has four races in a row close to home. I’m hoping it all times out just right so we get to race.”

Josh Poore to Compete in 78th Annual Little 500 with AP Driver Development
Anderson, Indiana (May 18, 2026): One of Anderson Speedway’s most accomplished hometown racers is set to take on the biggest challenge of his career, as Josh Poore will officially compete in the 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by Ed Martin Automotive Group at Anderson Speedway, driving for AP Driver Development with primary sponsorship from Yarberry Companies.
A longtime fixture at Anderson Speedway, Poore enters the prestigious 500-lap event with a résumé few local racers can match. Across his standout weekly racing career, Poore has amassed 52 Street Stock feature victories and captured seven track championships, cementing himself as one of the most successful competitors in Anderson Speedway history.
For Poore, the opportunity to compete in the Little 500 represents the fulfillment of a longtime dream.
“It means a lot since I’ve run about everything you can run there besides this,” Poore said. “It’s the biggest race there, and I’ve always dreamed of running the big races. To finally get this opportunity is something special.”
Poore will compete under AP Driver Development, operated by veteran racer Aaron Pierce. Pierce brings extensive Little 500 experience to the effort, with 19 career starts in the historic event, including two pole positions and recognition as Anderson Speedway’s longtime track record holder.
The combination gives Poore an experienced support system as he transitions from stock car competition to the high-speed challenge of pavement sprint car racing.
Poore’s teammate for the event will be Colton Bettis, who impressed in last year’s Little 500 by qualifying on the front row. Bettis’ recent success highlights the strength of the AP Driver Development program and provides another valuable benchmark for Poore during race week preparation.
Additional support for Poore’s effort comes from Sam Pierce Chevrolet, Zaki Ali, Cooper Tire, Tom Cherry Mufflers, Ways Custom Welding, Beckham Real Estate, and Holbrook Sewer & Excavating.
While Poore has spent years mastering Anderson Speedway in Street Stocks, Modifieds, and even Thundercars earlier in his career, he admits climbing into a sprint car presents an entirely different challenge.
“There really isn’t a whole lot to compare it to,” Poore said. “It’s like strapping onto a rocket and hanging on. They’re super fast. Maybe there are some similarities to a modified, but these things are way faster.”
That challenge is exactly what makes this opportunity so significant. Known for his consistency, patience, and ability to adapt to changing track conditions, Poore has built his reputation as one of Anderson Speedway’s most dependable weekly competitors. Those same qualities could prove critical in the Little 500, where endurance, strategy, and flawless execution often determine success as much as outright speed.
The Little 500 remains one of the most grueling events in pavement racing, demanding 500 laps of focus, discipline, and precision from both driver and crew.
For Anderson fans, Poore’s entry adds another compelling local storyline to the 78th running of the race. After years of dominating weekly competition, one of the speedway’s homegrown stars will now take his shot at the event that defines Anderson Speedway history.
The 78th Annual Little 500 will take place Saturday, May 23, at Anderson Speedway.
Practice for teams begins on Wednesday, May 20th from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. CB Fabricating Pole Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 21st from 11:30am – 3:30pm. Final practice and Bump Day is set for Friday, May 22nd from 11:30am to 3:30pm. Grandstand admission is free for fans Wednesday through Friday and race day tickets are reserved seating only. The event, including practice and qualifying, will also be streamed live on Racing America. For more information on the Little 500, visit us at andersonspeedway.com and on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

Dover Preparing for POWRi Tripleheader in Missouri This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (May 18, 2026) – Mother Nature forced the season opener to be delayed a week for Jack Dover, who is now slated to kick off his 2026 campaign this weekend with a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League tripleheader in Missouri.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver was rained out last Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. Up next is a three-race weekend starting with Dover making his debut at Electric City Speedway in Butler this Friday.
“I’m hopeful we can go down there the first night and have a good result,” he said. “We want to build on it from there. We’re hoping for a solid finish and no DNF.”
Races the two ensuing nights will be hosted by Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, where Dover last competed in July 2017.
“I’m very excited to go back,” he said. “I haven’t ran there in a long time and when I did it was in the 360 (sprint car). We had a lot of good runs. I’m looking forward to going there and hopefully coming out with a couple top fives or podiums.
“With it being our first weekend of the season we’re aiming for a strong showing each night, to run all the laps and not have any DNFs. If we can get a couple of top fives out of the weekend it’ll be a success.”
UP NEXT –
Friday at Electric City Speedway in Butler, Mo., and Saturday and Sunday at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo., with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League

Landon Brooks 8th with NARC in Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to the Thunderbowl in Tulare, CA on Saturday night, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team charged from 16th and tallied an eighth-place finish.
“Qualifying is still hindering us, but we are racing really well,” Landon Brooks said. “We have really fast race cars at the end of the night, but starting in heavy traffic I really feel like we aren’t able to show just how good we are. We are gaining on it, and if we can get timed in better and not be so deep, I really think we will turn these Top-10’s into podiums.”
With 22 cars checked in for the third stop of the year at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA, Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/THE/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 13th quickest in time trials.
Finishing sixth in his heat race on the slick surface, Brooks moved into the feature event where he rolled off the starting grid from the 16th starting position.
Moving into 12th when the race came to life, Brooks was patient as he rolled around the wall in the early goings of the race. Working into the Top-10 on the 14th lap, Brooks was able to move into eighth on the 15th lap as rubber started to go down in areas around the track and the field started to search for it.
Falling back to ninth briefly during a battle with Tim Kaeding, Brooks was able to use a restart on the 20th lap to sneak into eighth. Once in eighth the rubber began to become more prominent as the field found themselves single file for the final laps, and Brooks capped the night off with an eighth-place finish.
“I have confidence in my guys, and I know they have confidence in me and we are continuing to get better,” Brooks said. “Looking forward to getting back to Chico, CA this Saturday night.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.

Paul Nienhiser Inches Short from Fourth Win of Season
PETERSEN MEDIA: Paul Nienhiser has been a force early in his 2026 season. Already with three wins to his credit, the Chapin, IL driver came within inches of his fourth on Saturday night, but came up just short to Scotty Neitzel in what was a thrilling finish in Wisconsin.
“It was my first time at the Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday night, and it was a struggle early, but my guys went to work and we raced very well,” Paul Nienhiser said. “We had a car that was capable to win, but Scotty Neitzel used some magic and got us coming to the checkered.”
Timing in eighth fastest in qualifying time trials, Nienhiser lined up inside the second row of his heat race. Needing the win to guarantee himself a spot in the Dash, the Chapin, IL driver did everything he could to get into the top spot but ultimately ran second.
Having some luck on his side, Nienhiser snuck into the Dash based on results in other heats, and the four pill put the AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance backed No. 9x in the second row of the four-lap shootout.
Finishing third in Dash No. 2, Nienhiser was set for the feature event where he took the green from the outside of the third row.
When the race came to life, Nienhiser spent the early laps battling between fifth and sixth with the surface still dirty and rough in areas. As the laps clicked off, the track cleaned up and Nienhiser was able to move to the high side where he started to power his way forward.
Racing into the lead on the 22nd lap, Nienhiser was in thick traffic. As the race neared the end, Nienhiser made contact with a slower car as his left rear climbed up over the car’s right front, and changed the handling of Nienhiser’s entry.
Moving to the bottom of the speedway, Nienhiser took the white flag as second running Scotty Neitzel was able to pull up to him. Cutting his entry too much, Nienhiser slipped up the track and it allowed Neitzel to sneak under him in turns one and two as they raced down the back stretch.
Trying to drive back by in turns three and four, Nienhiser lost the drag race to the finish by .026, and finished in second.
“It definitely stings, but Scotty Neitzel is a great guy and it was a very popular win,” Neitzel said. “I am really proud of our effort, and I am happy we are continuing to have great results.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-5, Wins-3, Top 5’s-4, Top 10’s-4
ON TAP: Nienhiser has a busy week ahead of him as he will be in action on Thursday night against the World of Outlaws at Jacksonville Speedway, Friday night he heads to Lee County with the Sprint Invaders, and Saturday and Sunday he will be back in Wisconsin with the IRA.

Andy Forsberg Storms to Sixth Win of Season
PETERSEN MEDIA: Getting an engine back that they had early season issues with, Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing opted to head to Marysville Raceway on Saturday night to shake it down, and the end result was the team’s sixth win of the season.
“Everything ran well, and the track ended up being really fun despite the windy conditions that we dealt with all night,” Andy Forsberg said.
With 22 cars checked into the pit area for the track’s seventh points paying event of the season, Forsberg timed the Pacific Highway Rentals/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No. 92 in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Moving into heat race competition, the Auburn, CA driver advanced from his fourth-place starting position to finish third and garner a spot in the nightly redraw. With a bit of luck on his side, the two-pill put the veteran driver on the front row of the 25-lap feature event.
Taking the green flag alongside Carson Hall, Forsberg slipped into second initially as the low groove had a ton of moisture on the wind-beaten surface. The leaders quickly reached the tail of the field, and Forsberg was able to power his way into the lead on the fifth lap.
Once out in front, the only thing that slowed the Auburn, CA driver was a myriad of stoppages in the later stages of the race. Keeping the field at bay, Forsberg was able to secure his sixth win of the season as he now turns his attention to the Silver Dollar Fair Race in Chico, CA on Saturday, and the Hall Memorial back in Marysville on Sunday.
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 15, Wins-6, Top 5’s-10, Top 10’s-13
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will now travel to Chico, CA on Saturday night before returning to Marysville Raceway on Sunday night.

Dakota Albright Powers to Second Win of Season at Wayne Albright Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA- There is undoubtedly no race on the schedule that means more to Dakota Albright than the Wayne Albright Memorial. During Saturday’s 12th installment of the race that honors his late father, Albright powered his way to the win, marking his third career Albright Memorial triumph.
“To win the race that honors my dad is always so special,” Dakota Albright said. “My family and I work so hard to make it a very special event, and thanks to some amazing friends, family, and businesses we have really grown a great group of event partners.”
Fresh off of a win one week ago in Chico, CA, Albright again came out firing as he kicked the night off with quick time honors aboard his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35JR.
Lining up sixth in his heat, a bit of chaos saw Albright endure damage to his left front bead lock and his tire ultimately went flat under the caution period that ensued. Restarting from fourth with a flat left front, the Waterford, CA driver was able to build his momentum up and power his way to a second-place finish.
Moving into the feature event, the inversion was a six which put Albright on the outside of third row to start the 35-lapper. When the race went green, Albright was patient in the early goings and then made the decision to move to the top of the speedway.
Things fell Albright’s way as he quickly worked his way into third by the race’s fifth lap and then made a move on Greg Dennett on the seventh lap to take over the second position.
Continuing to get better with each passing lap, Albright powered into the race’s top spot on the 10th lap, but he was far from in the clear. Battling hard with Hunter Kinney, the duo continued to wage war on each other until a late race yellow paused the action.
The final restart of the night proved to be exciting as Albright dipped low to prevent a slide job attempt, but Kinney was able to run the top and drive around Albright on the exit of two.
As they raced side by side into three and four, the duo banged wheels and Albright was able to retain the lead and race his way to the win.
“It was just a really fun race, and I am glad we came out on top,” he added. “Really thankful to my team for their hard work, and really thankful to all the great people that helped us make this race great again.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright is idle this weekend, and return to action on May 30th in Ventura, CA.

Joel Myers Jr Sweeps Weekend with POWRi
PETERSEN MEDIA: Joel Myers Jr and the Hayward Motorsports team had a dominant weekend that saw them sweep the weekend with POWRi as Myers Jr scored wins at US 36 Raceway and Lucas Oil Raceway.
“Our cars have been so fast as of late, and it feels really good to get this Hayward Motorsports car in victory lane over the weekend,” Joel Myers Jr said. “Tuesday night, we went to Fremont Speedway, and I destroyed a car. We went to work for the weekend, and didn’t miss a beat, and I think that shows a lot about what we have built.”
Friday night at US 36 Raceway, the Sebastopol, CA driver kicked the weekend off by timing the Velocity Engineering/Intalltec Inc./RPM Chassis backed No. 19 in eighth fastest in time trials after going out at the end of the qualifying session.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Myers Jr flexed his muscle as he powered his way to the top spot. Picking up the heat race win, Myers Jr lined up on the front row of the feature event.
When the green flag flew, Myers Jr wasted no time taking control of the race. Out in front, the California native was extremely strong as he ran a very good race. Keeping the field at bay, Myers Jr wired the field as he scored his second win of the season since rejoining the Hayward Motorsports team.
Following the series to Wheatland, MO on Saturday night, Myers Jr again went out late in time trials and still managed to make a ton of speed as he timed in third quickest in time trials on this night.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Myers Jr took a liking to the ‘Diamond of Dirt Tracks’ as he surged his way to the top spot. Picking up the heat race win, Myers Jr again found himself on the front row of the feature event.
Just as he did on Friday night, Myers Jr mashed the throttle when the green flag dropped. In a near repeat performance, Myers Jr executed another great race as he completed the weekend sweep and grabbed the Hayward Motorsports team their third win of the season.
“I am really thankful to have great guys behind me who continue to work hard,” Myers Jr said. “I also want to thank Brodie Hayward and all of our partners for all they do for this team.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Velocity Engineering, Installtec Inc., RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, FK Rod Ends, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Brad Alexander Suspension, Jim O’Neal Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

FRANK & MARILYN BENIC MEMORIAL ALL STAR SPRINT SHOW $10,000 TO WIN SET FOR SAT MAY 23RD 2026. DIRT 602 CRATE SPORTSMAN AND 270 MICROS ALSO ON CARD.
By Jim Balentine
Mercer, Pa.
For nearly 60 years in the Eastern Ohio/Western Pa area the name “Benic” has
been synonymous with auto racing and as part of the 75TH anniversary
celebration Michaels Mercer raceway park is proud to honor Twin state auto
racing club hall of famer Frank Benic and his wife Marilyn in the “Benic
memorial” for the All star circuit of champions sprint cars on Saturday May
23 2026 paying as of now $10,000 to win. The ultra competitive Top shelf
trucking DIRT 602 crate sportsman modifieds and the 270cc micro sprints will
also be on the card.
Frank Benic starred out his racing legacy as a sprint car owner with legendary drivers such as Paul Brown, Jack West, Dale Johnson, and Jim Gorichky.
In 1982 Frank was hired by Mercer to begin working on the track crew prepping the track and other duties.
In 1984 Frank was hired by new Sharon owners Ed Skillman and Dave McMillin to become the promoter. Frank’s wife would begin to publish the famous “Life in the fast lane” Sharon programs that many still cherish. Frank would help Sharon pay at time in 1992 the highest winning weekly amount for the sprints paying $1,700 weekly as part of the Pabst sprint series. Frank and Marylyn would remain at Sharon until the winter of 1996 when Gary Butch would purchase Mercer and would hire the Benic’s to return to Mercer. Frank would continue as promoter spending countless hours at the racetrack each night after work, preparing the race track or doing anything that the facility needed to have done. Marilyn would continue the weekly programs at Mercer spending hours on end getting it ready to go for the following Saturday. Frank would be instrumental in getting the All-Star circuit of champions to come for a two day show at the end of September in 1997 and 1998.
In 1999 Vicki Emig would purchase the facility and retain Frank and Marilyn as part of her staff. Frank and his crew would spend countless hours in freezing temperatures building a new VIP box area along with new restrooms, new fencing, new guard rails, and a state of the art digital scoreboard.. all which remain today. Marilyn would be the office manager spending many long days and nights keeping things running smoothly on race day.
The Benic’s would continue on with new Mercer owner Bill Altman in 2011 making sure everything would be ready to go on race day. At the end of 2017 Frank and Marilyn’s long historic tenure at the speedway had come to an end but would always pop in as guests at the various tracks they loved talking and reminiscing with all their friends.
On June 6th 2023 at 80 years young Marilyn would pass away and on January 28 2025 Frank would pass away at 84 leaving a huge void in the racing community.
The Benic family and Michaels Mercer raceway then began talks about having a race in the loving pair’s memory and on Saturday May 23 2026 along with their favorite All star circuit of champions we will honor them with a first place prize of at least $10,000 to win.

POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Head to Missouri for US 36 and Lucas Oil Double
Belleville, IL. (5/14/26) - After a strong season opener in
Texas, the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League heads to
Missouri for a two-night swing. Racing starts Friday, May 15 at the high
banks of US 36 Raceway for the Highbanks Shootout, then moves to Lucas Oil
Speedway on Saturday, May 16 to kick off the Road to the Hockett.
With one race in the books, the points battle is already
starting to take shape. Early contenders have shown speed, but a deep field
is ready to mix things up heading into Missouri.
Fisher Fast Early; Crawley on the Move; Milan & McCutcheon in the Mix
Colton Fisher turned heads at Big O Speedway with a
second-place finish to open the season. His heat race move—already being
talked about as one of the best of the year—put him right in the spotlight
and near the top of the standings.
Landon Crawley comes into the weekend as the current Pass
Master leader (+8). After winning the B-Feature in Texas, Crawley drove
forward in the main event and showed he can get to the front from anywhere.
Scotty Milan and Ryder McCutcheon are two drivers to keep an
eye on this weekend. Milan returns to Wheatland as the defending winner,
while McCutcheon’s aggressive style fits well at both tracks. Both could be
right in the mix.
Seat Changes & New Faces
There will be a few changes in the pit area this weekend:
Kameron Key moves into the McGarry ride after stepping away
from Kiwi Motorsports.
Dylan Bloomfield takes over the Kiwi Motorsports seat,
making the trip from California.
Kaleb Johnson is set to make his league debut with
Heidbreder Racing.
Cole Vanderheiden joins the 410 ranks this weekend in the
Bowers-owned No. 81.
Show-Me Standouts vs The Field
A strong group of drivers is expected to battle for the
$5,000 win each night, including Miles Paulus, Xavier Doney, Jack Potter,
Joe B. Miller, Gage Montgomery, Natalie Doney, and three-time champion
Ayrton Gennetten.
Out-of-state drivers will also be in the mix. The “Illinois
Intruders” include John Barnard, Jake Neuman, and Cory Bruns. The “Texas
group” features Sam Hafertepe Jr., Preston Perlmutter, Rodney Huband, and
Marcus Thomas. From Oklahoma, drivers like Blake Hahn, Roger Crockett, Seth
Bergman, and Matt Covington will be ones to watch.

It is also $5 Crawford and Venango County Night, as anyone with a valid driver’s license or state ID residing in Crawford or Venango County, Pennsylvania, will be admitted for just $5. It will also be autograph night for the SCDRA King Forest Products Mini Stocks.
The new Kids Club will meet behind the grandstands from 5:00–6:00 PM with games and prizes sponsored by Mercer Dairy Queen.

The RUSH Non-Wing Sprint Cars will make their first of eight appearances on the tricky 3/8-mile Bent Egg Oval. The series has over 25 drivers committed and brings a throwback feel to the traditional non-wing sprint car racing days at Mercer.

The Top Shelf Trucking DIRT 602 Crate Sportsman Modified division should once again attract an impressive field, as all local crate modified competitors are permitted to race. With Mercer being the only track running the 602 DIRT Crate Sportsman division weekly, an extremely large field of cars is expected each Saturday night.
The SCDRA Mini Stocks, sponsored by King Forest Products, will once again compete weekly at Mercer for national championship points and point fund money.

Pendleton’s Travis Welpott returns to the Little 500 after Long Road Back
Anderson, Indiana (May 13, 2026) - For Pendleton’s Travis Welpott, the Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by ED Martin Automotive Group has always represented something bigger than just another race.
“It’s the pinnacle of pavement sprint car racing,” Welpott said. “For a non-wing guy, this is what you dream about. It’s the biggest race there is.”
This May, Welpott will return to Anderson Speedway’s historic 500-lap classic after enduring one of the toughest stretches of his racing career. A grueling two-year battle with wrist injuries that nearly ended his time behind the wheel.
His return comes with the support of longtime backers Smith Family Farms, whose commitment has helped make another Little 500 run possible for Welpott Racing.
“It takes people who believe in what we’re doing,” Welpott said. “Without support like Smith Family Farms and the people around this team, we’re not here.”
Since making his Little 500 debut in 2012, Welpott has quietly built one of the event’s most respected resumes among teams. In 12 career starts, he has completed nearly 5,000 laps with two top-10 finishes, highlighted by an impressive ninth-place run in 2019 after starting 27th.
His last Little 500 start in 2024 ended abruptly in a crash that sidelined him and led to a long recovery process that included three surgeries.
“The second surgery is when they found the bigger issue,” Welpott said. “They had to move the bone back, section it, bolt it together and put a steel brace down my forearm. It was a major reconstruction.”
The recovery wasn’t easy. After the first surgery and months of rehab, uncertainty lingered. When Welpott climbed back into the car for testing before the 2025 Little 500, simple tasks like pulling setup blocks and turning the wheel brought pain and doubt.
“We got through the test and knew I was still hurting,” Welpott said. “That first night, Trey House and the crew looked at everything honestly and said, ‘If you can’t do it right, we better stay out.’”
It was a difficult but necessary decision.
Safety came first, even if it meant waiting longer for another shot at the race he loves most.
That patience paid off.
After undergoing a third surgery this spring, Welpott and his team worked through preparatory races, including the Glen Niebel Classic, shaking off rust and rebuilding confidence. They avoided mechanical trouble, finished races cleanly and, most importantly, Welpott’s wrist held up.
“Once we got through that and everything felt good, we knew it was time,” he said. “That’s when we decided we were going for it.”
That decision carries extra meaning because of who surrounds him.
Unlike many larger operations, Welpott’s effort is built on family, friends and hard work. Crew chief Trey House plays a central role, while Welpott’s father, former students and longtime supporters fill whatever role is needed.
“It’s just one big family,” Welpott said.
That family-first mentality has defined the team’s success.
They make do with what they have, often repurposing parts and solving problems creatively rather than simply buying new equipment.
“We’re kind of jack-of-all-trades,” Welpott said. “We can’t always outspend people, so we outwork them.”
That blue-collar determination has kept Welpott competitive in one of pavement racing’s toughest events.
Now, after years of setbacks and recovery, he gets another chance at the race that first inspired him growing up. When the green flag waves and 33 drivers thunder into Turn 1, Welpott won’t just be making another start. He’ll be completing a comeback years in the making and once again chasing Little 500 history.

"410" SPRINTS & BIG-BLOCK MODIFIEDS HEADLINE SATURDAY'S
OPENER AT SHARON ON SCHOOL SPIRIT NIGHT
May 13, 2026
(Hartford, OH)... Sharon Speedway will try for the fourth time to kick-off the 2026 racing season this Saturday night (May 16) in a "Super Series" event presented by Bala Management. The 97th anniversary season opener will include a pair of headlining divisions in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars and the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds along with the Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods and the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vics. Warmups will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. followed by racing. It's Barris Supply Night.
Saturday is the first of numerous theme nights scheduled throughout the season. Saturday's promotion is School Spirit Night as all students in proper attire will receive FREE general admission. Proper attire includes school logo shirts, team jersey, band shirts, theater or club apparel or school hoodies.
In commemoration of their 70th anniversary of operation, King Bros. Ready Mix Concrete will give away a bicycle to a child at every event in 2026 that the Big-Block Modifieds are in competition. The Big-Block Modified feature winner will draw a child's ticket in victory lane. If Rex King, Jr. wins the feature, two tickets will be drawn and two children's bicycles will be given away! Sharon Speedway would like to thank King Bros. for their support over the years.
The Willy's World Kids Club presented by Millcraft Barns returns for the second straight year. The Kids Club will include games and sensory friendly crafts and will open when the general admission gates open at 5 p.m. Chris Verda and Cody Body, both "410" Sprint Car racers, will be the drivers of the week that will be signing autographs and participating in the Kids Club activities. Sharon Speedway is a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Friend Venue; information is available at the Kids Club site behind the main grandstand building.
For the third straight year, the "410" Sprint Cars will race for a minimum purse nightly of $4,000 to-win, $400 to-start thanks to "Super Series" presenting sponsor Bala Management. The same format as in years past will be utilized with group qualifying to set the heat race lineups. Despite being retired for the past 10 years, Ed Lynch, Jr., still sits atop the all-time "410" Sprint Car win list with 50 victories over the retired Dave Blaney, who has 38 wins. Dave's brother Dale has worked his way up to 24 victories, good for sixth all-time. Bob Felmlee (14) and Jack Sodeman, Jr. (12) are the only two other active racers with double digit victories. The next nearest active winner is A.J. Flick with five followed by National Sprint Car Hall of Famer, Tim Shaffer, and Ohio standout, Cap Henry, who each have four victories.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds are set for their first of what is now three straight visits as they will compete 10 times over the remainder of the 2026 season presented by King Bros. Ready Mix Concrete, King's Sanitary Services, Russ King Racing, and Thermo Supply. Saturday's event will pay $2,000 to-win, $200 to-start.
The Big-Block Modifieds have made 648 appearances all-time at Sharon with 99 different winners. The late Lou Blaney sits atop the all-time win list with 121 victories. Active drivers with double digit win totals include Rex King, Jr. (29), Jim Rasey (19), Brian Swartzlander (14), and Rob Kristyak (11). New York invader, Erick Rudolph, is up to seven Sharon wins and will look to add to that on Saturday. Canadian Dalton Slack won his first career Big-Block Modified feature last year at Sharon and is planning on competing Saturday as well.
The Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods will be starting their 17th year as a regular division at Sharon, and typically average around a full field of cars. One-hundred seventy-three races have been run all-time with 40 different winners. Jeremy Double overtook Brandon Blackshear in 2024 as the division’s all-time winner at 22; however, was shutout of victory lane in 2025.

FRANKLIN, PA – After five long weeks of playing tag with mother nature, Tri City Raceway Park is finally ready to drop the green flag this Friday night. With a beautiful forecast calling for clear skies and temperatures in the 60s, the "sixth time" is looking like the absolute charm to get the racing season underway. The engines are set to roar to life on the iconic half-mile oval, and the action officially kicks off with racing starting at 7:00 PM.
Since they first opened the gates back in 1968, Tri City has built a legacy that is second to none.

These high-speed machines will be competing for a serious $3,000 winner’s purse, and you can bet the competition will be fierce after a month of sitting in the garage. Joining them are the RK Virgile Iron & Steel Pro Stocks, where the legendary Bobby Whiting looks to build on his massive 62 career wins. He’ll have to fend off Josh Seippel, who is currently sitting at 10 wins, as they battle for a $700 top prize.
The 21st Century Energy Group RUSH Sprint Cars are also back for their 40th appearance at the speedway. All eyes are on defending champion Blaze Myers, who is coming off a monster season where he took 11 wins in just 14 starts; he’ll be the man to beat for the $600 check. Rounding out the program are the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Stock Cars. As they enter their second season, the rivalry is already intense between defending champ Raidden Wilson and heavy hitters William Baker and Billy Myers Sr., all fighting for the $300 winner's share.
The track is also making this a night for the families with Kids Bike Races for those 15 and under! It’s a great way for the kids to get some dirt under their tires, though parents are reminded that helmets are strictly required to participate.

Mallett Ties Season-Best Outing and Posts Best ASCS National Tour Result Since 2024
Inside Line Promotions – WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (May 12, 2026) – Jordon Mallett earned his best ASCS National Tour result since June 2024 last Friday at Benton Speedway, where he made his season debut with the series.
Mallett, who was driving for car owner A.G. Rains, qualified second quickest in his group at the bullring in Benton, Mo. He won a heat race to advance into the dash. A runner-up result in the dash lined him up on the outside of the front row in the main event.
“I felt we executed pretty well all night,” he said. “We rolled out of the box with a really good race car. We timed in well and heat raced good. We put ourselves in a good spot in the dash and ran second there.
“It hurt us a little having to start on the outside in the feature because it wasn’t the preferred line. We jumped in line and it was a slow-paced race. I think it took more than an hour to complete. It’s about keeping your head right throughout the cautions and delays. We had a pretty good race car and we were consistent. The track was really top dominant and technical. We ran between second and fourth the whole race before finishing second.”
Mallett survived the tricky track to tie his best result of the season with the second-place showing. It marked his best outing with the ASCS National Tour since a win on June 22, 2024.
The team also competed on Saturday at Riverside International Speedway, where Mallett timed in 10th quickest in qualifying. He placed second in a heat race before moving forward one position in the main event to end fourth – his fourth straight top-five result.
“We unloaded pretty solid,” he said. “We were on the pole of a heat race and it wasn’t ideal because of the way the track was on the bottom so we ran second. In the feature, we were pretty good. There were a few things we wanted to refine in getting the car balanced throughout the middle of the feature. We had good speed, but it was tough to advance.”
An ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints doubleheader this Friday and Saturday at Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La., is next for Mallett. It will mark his debut at the track.
“I really don’t know much of anything about it,” he said. “It’s close enough I’d have thought we’d been there before, but if I understood right they haven’t had sprint cars in 10 years. I’ve always held an attitude that I like going to places I haven’t seen before. I feel we’re normally pretty good at places on our first trip.”
QUICK RESULTS –
May 8 – Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 2 (1); Feature: 2 (2).
May 9 – Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. – Qualifying: 10; Heat race: 2 (1); Feature: 4 (5).
SEASON STATS –
9 races, 0 wins, 5 top fives, 6 top 10s, 6 top 15s, 9 top 20s
UP NEXT –

Dover Heading to Huset’s Speedway Sunday for MSTS Season Opener
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (May 12, 2026) – Jack Dover kicks off his racing season this Sunday at Huset’s Speedway.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver opens his defense of the 2025 Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series championship at the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
Dover captured his first championship with the Series last year and he plans on going after back-to-back titles. The first test is this weekend at the high-banked oval in Brandon, S.D.
“Our goal is to earn the MSTS 410 championship again this year so we’re looking forward to getting the season underway this weekend,” he said. “We have a decent amount of laps at Huset’s Speedway the last few years so hopefully we can unload fast and be a contender.”
Dover finished fifth in the track’s championship standings last year when he posted a trio of top fives and nine top 10s in a dozen main events. He placed sixth in the championship standings in 2022 and fourth in 2021 during his two other seasons of being a regular competitor at Huset’s Speedway.
“The Bull Haulers Brawl is a big race so there will be a good field of cars on hand,” Dover said. “It’s our first race of the season so we’re eager to see how we stack up.”

Part Failure Dashes Chance Grasty’s Bradway Run
PETERSEN MEDIA- In a race that means so much to the F&F Racing team, Chance Grasty had a great night going until a mechanical failure at the halfway point knocked him out of contention while running inside the Top-5.
“Our night started out great,” Chance Grasty said. “We had good in speed time trials, we raced our way into the Dash, and we were battling inside the Top 5 in the feature. Unfortunately, around the halfway point we lost a power steering line and brought our night to a disappointing end.”
Returning to Chico, CA to take part in the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial, Chance Grasty kicked his night off by timing the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in 4th fastest in time trials.
Going from fourth to second in heat race competition, the Suisun City, CA driver locked himself into the HD Titanium Dash where his seventh-place finish locked him into the fourth row of the 40-lap feature event.
When the feature event went green, Grasty got a great start as he quickly jumped into fifth, and got into third on the fifth lap of the race. Amidst a close quarters battle, Grasty was back into fifth on the ninth lap as he settled and clicked off laps amidst the race’s longest run of the night.
On the 21st lap, the caution flew and when the action resumed Grasty fell victim to a power steering line failure and coasted to a stop. With fluid everywhere, his night came to an abrupt end.
“I hate that our night ended like that, not only for our team, but for how much effort Alan (Bradway) and Tooch’s family put into making it a great event,” Grasty added. “We had a ton of speed and I really want to thank everyone on our team as well as our sponsors for making it all possible.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty head to the Thunderbowl in Tulare, CA on Saturday night.

Port Royal, PA – May 12, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
If you have been paying attention, there have been recent signs that Zach Newlin and his team are making progress.
After numerous years of fielding winning 305 and 358 sprint cars, Zach Newlin and his family resurrected the Newlin Racing 11z in 2023, this time as a 410 sprint car program. He acknowledged that establishing a competitive 410 team in Central Pennsylvania would be a slow process, especially given the budget they have to work with.
That process can be a daunting one, at times taking a toll on anyone’s determination, no matter how passionate they are.
Nothing puts fuel back in the tank like glimpses of promise.
HOW IT STARTED
Newlin only entered a handful of events in 2023 and 2024, picking his spots that provided the best opportunity to get the most laps. Factors like the amount of tow money (what teams are paid if they don’t qualify), expected car counts, and event format (draw vs. time trial) all have to be considered to give a team the best chance to gain experience and hopefully put some money in their pocket at the end of the night.
The team battled through some growing pains early on, including fueling issues and other ‘wrinkles’ that took some time to iron out. Making A-mains was hit-or-miss for Newlin during those years.
Finally, in 2025, although still picking his spots, Newlin got more steady seat time, which allowed him and crew chief, brother Lance Newlin, to start to build a better notebook and figure out how to get the most out of what they had to work with.
HOW IT’S GOING
The team started 2026 with a new (to them) RPM chassis, which has required a lot of trial and error to determine how to get the most speed out of it.
Newlin has entered four races at three different tracks during the first month of his 2026 season, and he has qualified for all four A-mains.
At Port Royal Speedway on May 2nd, Newlin showed he has found the speed to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves.
A good pill draw put Newlin on the front row of his heat race. He held his own and survived a mid-race restart to hold off a couple of veterans and record a 2nd-place finish to put his team solidly in the A-main.
“We have been trying to find the right balance in the car. What works for others may not work for us since we are down about 100 horsepower compared to some teams. We scaled the car recently, trying to learn where we might need to make adjustments,” Newlin explained.
“We’re getting closer to figuring this car out for early in the night, but we have some work to do on the setup with a full load of fuel for the feature.”
Newlin started 11th in the 25-lap A-main, but his race ended early when an incident occurred in front of his Butler Hill Maple Farm, Falcon Machine Service, Fisher’s Heating A/C Electrical, Pandemonium Bar & Grill, Strange Oval, Newlin Bar Service No.11z.
“I felt a little tight in the early going of the feature, but I’m really bummed we got caught up in an incident and didn’t get to see how good we really were,” Newlin said.
“I knew we made contact, but I wasn’t sure how much damage there was, if any. Without guaranteed time in the work area, we couldn’t really look at it. After the restart, the car didn’t feel right, and I had a small vibration, so we called it a night. “
“I want to thank everyone who supports this team, no matter how big or small their contribution is. We could not do this without them. We are determined to make the most of what they provide.”
THE LATEST
Newlin’s next 410 sprint car race will be at BAPS Motor Speedway on May 17th. The return of the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car is still in the works, but the season debut will have to wait a couple more weeks.

ABOUT ZACH NEWLIN
Zach started racing go-karts in 1998 at the age of 10, stepped up to 600 micro sprints in 2005, and moved into 305 sprints in 2013. Following seven highly successful seasons in the 305 sprint car ranks, he moved into the 358 sprint car ranks in 2020. He found victory lane at Williams Grove Speedway in his rookie season in the Newlin Racing 11z and was awarded Rookie of the Year honors. He has piloted the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car since 2021 and captured another Williams Grove victory aboard that car in 2023. Zach gained 410 sprint car experience with a few car owners from 2020-2022, including making his first World of Outlaws A-main at the wheel of the Pryde Motorsports No.29 in 2022, before making the decision to build his own 410 sprint car program by resurrecting the Newlin Racing 11z in 2023.

Hartmann pads notebook, preps for Plymouth-Angell Park double dip
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 12, 2026 – Opening the 2026 season with a doubleheader weekend of 410 Sprint Car racing action in the Sprint Car-laden state of Iowa proved to be a productive learning experience for Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team.
First up was the team’s 2026 season opener with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association and career debut at Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa on Friday, May 8.
The Plymouth, Wis. driver opened the night by qualifying 23rd in the 35-car field with a lap of 13.363 around the quarter mile slightly banked dirt oval.
Hartmann then placed fourth after lining up sixth in the third 8-lap heat race to earn a direct transfer spot into the 25-lap A main. After rolling off 16th, Hartmann was running 18th before his 87A machine was involved in an incident in turn one on lap 7, which ended Hartmann’s evening. He was credited with a 24th-place finish.
One night later, the Hartmann squad made their second-ever appearance at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. With 33 410 Sprint Cars checked in for the event, Hartmann kicked things off by qualifying 16th in qualifying flight 2 with a lap of 16.497 seconds on the world-renowned half-mile semi-banked dirt oval.
After starting and finishing eighth in the fourth 8-lap heat race, Hartmann fired off 12th and moved up two spots to come home 10th in the 12-lap B main to miss transferring to the A main by six spots.
“For first night out with the new chassis at Davenport, aside from the racetrack not being the greatest, we were able to work on the slick package,” Hartmann said. “I think we clicked on something there on the short track side of our operation.
“That same car at Knoxville did not fare too well,” he said. “It’s easy to get laps at Knoxville but hard to be good. I think we will put a separate car together for half miles and be back better.”
Hartmann is set to head back to his hometown track – The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. - this Saturday, May 16 with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series.
Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated to begin at 5:30 p.m.
On Sunday, May 17, the team heads to Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. with spectator gates opening at 4 p.m., hot laps at 5 p.m. and opening ceremonies at 6 p.m.
“I’m excited the season is finally started, and we get to race at home this upcoming weekend,” Hartmann said.

Spire Motorsports Bolsters Ascent Program Through Partnership With CB Industries
May 11, 2026
Five months following the inception of Spire Motorsports’ Ascent Program, the effort has already cycled through its first expansion. In a joint venture between Chad Boat Industries (CBI) and Spire Motorsports, Logan Seavey climbed aboard the No. 87X Freeway Insurance winged sprint car for the first time in 2026 for the March 19 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Series event at Central Arizona Raceway.
When the checkered flag waved on the third night of racing, Seavey pocketed a pair of top-10 finishes. Not bad for a guy who had only made nine winged sprint car starts prior to the event.
Seavey, 28, may be relatively new to the High Limit ranks, but he’s one of the most compelling non-wing racers to strap into the ultra-light, high-horsepower machines in recent years. In 2024, the Sutter, Calif., native claimed his second consecutive Chili Bowl Nationals championship. Only four other drivers have won back-to-back Golden Drillers – Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Rico Abreu and Kevin Swindell.
Following his win at the annual Tulsa, Okla., speedfest, Seavey competed full time in the USAC National Sprint Car Series where he led the series in wins (14), laps led (364), top fives (31) and top 10s (38).
His 14 wins tied the all-time record for most wins in a season, first set by Tom Bigelow in 1977, setting Seavey on course to claim the championship by a handsome 107 points over his nearest competitor.
It was a season loaded with impressive highlights, including the highly coveted USAC Career Triple Crown Championship - a title awarded by securing a trifecta of championships across USAC’s Silver Crown, National Sprint Car and National Midget Series. It’s a season Seavey won’t soon forget and he’ll go down as only one of eight drivers since USAC’s 1956 founding to have earned the recognition. Seavey’s notable accomplishments over a six-year span (Silver Crown championship in 2023 and National Midget Series titles in 2018 and 2023) added him to a list that included some of the most recognizable names in the fabled sanctioning body’s history.
Seavey’s accolades speak volumes as he continues to adapt to winged sprint car racing, and his early performance with the No. 87X CB Industries/Spire Motorsports team is reflective of what has come to be expected in the early days of the Ascent Program.
In the meantime, Giovanni (Gio) “Hot Sauce” Scelzi has lived up to his name in High Limit competition. Through the first 10 races, Scelzi and crew chief Eric Prutzman have claimed four top-five and 10 top-10 finishes to sit fourth in points. Add another top five and two top 10s for the pair through two Roto-Rooter Midweek Series’ starts.
As if an additional sprint car entry wasn’t enough, CB Industries and Spire Motorsports will also field a part-time USAC Sprint Car entry with Steven Snyder, Jr., behind the wheel. The first race for the team will be at Eldora (Ohio) Speedway on May 15.
Snyder, Jr., got his first taste from the CB/Spire well when he filled in May 2 for Seavey at Texas Motor Speedway. The 21-year-old racer from Rising Sun, Md., made his Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing debut and finished fifth in his heat to transfer to the A-Main Saturday night.
In 2025, Snyder, Jr., ranked eighth in USAC National Midget Series points on the strength of six top fives in 23 feature starts. He matched his best finish of second during the Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway Grand Prix and Placerville (Calif.) Speedway’s Hangtown 100. Meanwhile, led six laps at Eldora’s 4-Crown Nationals and set quick time Merced (Calif.) Fairgrounds Speedway.
In just its first five months of existence, the Ascent Program drivers and teams have combined to earn two wins, 19 top fives, and 35 top 10s.
On the pavement side of the team’s developmental program, Tristan McKee, 15, went to victory in his first two ARCA Menards Series East starts of 2026 at Hickory (N.C.) Speedway and Rockingham (N.C.) Raceway. Last weekend, McKee finished third at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway to give him a uber-impressive 1.7 average finish to kick off the season. This weekend, McKee returns to Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International as the defending winner of the General Tire 100 where last year’s victory made him the second-youngest winner in series’ history.
Aside from his full-time gig on the 38-race NASCAR Cup Series tour in Spire Motorsports’ No. 77 Chevy, Carson Hocevar, has contributed to the team’s success on dirt and pavement. In December 2025, the Portage, Mich., native raced his way into both features at the Gateway Dirt Nationals in St. Louis. In February he teamed with McKee at New Smyrna (Fla.) Speedway where both drivers turned in top-five finishes.
While the season is still young on superspeedways and short tracks alike, success is starting to feel old hat for the Ascent program.
Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA – Racing thunders back to Skagit Speedway this Saturday, May 16, for Armed Forces night. The Hill’s Premium Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars return for another weekend of racing, joined by the Sportsman Sprint Cars and the Hornets as well. Entry is $5 with ID.
The season debut of the Hill’s Premium Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars did not disappoint as Tyler Thompson found victory lane for the first time in his 410 career. Thompson started on the pole and went unchallenged for 30 laps on his way to victory at Skagit Speedway. Robbie Price and Levi Klatt finished second and third. Price leads the points through one race with 119, Thompson is second, just four markers behind, and Trey Starks is third, 12 points back. The Hill’s Premium Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars are back again this Saturday as the road to Skagit Casino Resort's 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway gets closer.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars return to action after two weeks off for their second race of the year. Opening night for the Sporties saw a new face in the winner’s circle, Seth Hespe, grandson of former driver and promoter Fred Brownfield. Hespe started on the pole but fell back to second early as Brett McGhie moved around him for the top spot on the opening lap. Hespe didn’t hold back and made a daring move into turn three to reclaim the top spot on lap three. From that point forward, Hespe held off any challenge from behind and claimed the top spot. Hespe leads the points standings through one race with 119 points. Jesson Jacobson sits in second (-9), and Jeff Westergard sits third (-11).
The Hornets return to Skagit Speedway for their second race of the year after having last week off. Steve Peters picked off the win during their season debut on May 2. Peters took the lead from Brian Michelson on a restart on lap 13 and cruised away to the win. Bryce Kolar and Michelson finished second and third. Peters leads the points with 120, Kolar sits second, seven points back in second, and Michelson is 16 points behind in third.

Dakota Albright Dominates in Chico, CA as He Builds Momentum for High Anticipated Wayne Albright Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA- Getting back to racing action on Saturday night after Mother Nature has slowed his early season schedule, Dakota Albright was hitting on all cylinders as he dominated the feature event in Chico, CA and now carries a ton of momentum into this week’s Wayne Albright Memorial.
“It was really a good night for us, and it felt great to finally get back racing,” Dakota Albright said. “We made a few changes to our car after the heat race, and we had a very strong piece for the feature.”
Despite having a slightly lower car count than usual in the BCRA Lightning Sprint division, Albright came out strong as he timed in third quickest in qualifying time trials which then put him on the front row of his heat race.
When the heat came to life, Albright was a little off as he slipped back to third aboard the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35Jr.
Finishing third, Albright and crew went to work before rolling out for the feature event where the Waterford, CA driver lined up on the outside of the front row.
As the Bob Scovel green flag was waived to the field, Albright was hard on the loud pedal and quickly jumped out front on the ¼ mile bullring. Out front, Albright clicked off smooth and consistent laps as he pulled away from the field.
Leading all 15 laps, Albright picked up the win in convincing fashion as he now turns his attention to this weekend’s Wayne Albright Memorial which pays homage to his late father.
“Really happy that we had a good car and that we were able to pick up a win as we head into my dad’s race,” Albright said. “My family puts so much effort into this race, and I am excited to head in there with a lot of confidence and a really good car for what will be the most grueling race of the season for us.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright is back in action on Saturday night at Merced Speedway.

Starks Hustles to Third Straight 360 Sprint Car Victory at Skagit, Winning by 9.675 Seconds
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (May 11, 2026) – Trey Starks earned his third straight win in the 360ci winged sprint car division to start the season at Skagit Speedway last Saturday.
Starks qualified fifth quickest before he won a heat race to make the feature redraw. He landed the No. 2 to line up on the outside of the front row and capitalized, dominating the race to win by 9.675 seconds.
“The beginning of the night was uncharacteristic of us,” he said. “I wasn’t decisive enough on where to run in qualifying and just missed it both laps. We went out late and the track was changing. I don’t think I executed it very well. We were fifth quick, which put us in a must-win situation in the heat race. Luckily, we did win. In the redraw, we drew the outside front row, which helped a lot. We got into clean air quickly and instantly I felt really, really good anywhere I put the car. I knew we’d have a good chance to win. I was glued down to the track anywhere I wanted to go. It made traffic nice as I could pick and choose where I wanted to go. I’m really happy with how that car is feeling right now.”
Starks also made his 410ci season debut. He was second quickest in qualifying and advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race. Starks closed the night with a fourth-place result in the A Main.
“We were off a little bit,” he said. “The track was better for the 360 main event. In the 410 main event, which was first, there wasn’t an option but the very bottom in turns three and four. Also, the 360 car we’re running has been our 410 car the past three years so we know exactly what we need to do. The 410 car is brand new so there’s a bit of a learning curve. We were close, but not as good as we want to be. We ran a faster lap in the 360 feature than the fastest lap by anybody in the 410 A Main. That car is dialed in right now. We just need to get the 410 car where that is and we’ll be just fine.”
Starks currently leads the 360 championship standings at Skagit Speedway by 44 points. He ranks third in the 410 championship standings – eight points out of second place and 12 points behind the leader.
The next event for Starks is a 410 race at Skagit Speedway this Saturday.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Top Morgan Cup for Fifth World of Outlaws Win of Season
Inside Line Promotions – MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (May 11, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports and David Gravel used a strong week in Central Pennsylvania to increase their lead in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship standings to 88 points.
The team posted a fourth-place finish last Tuesday during the Gettysburg Clash at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown followed by a third-place outing on Friday at Williams Grove Speedway. The week wrapped up with a victory on Saturday at Williams Grove Speedway during the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup.
“It was a great week,” Gravel said. “We hit on all cylinders. We qualified lights out and got in the dash each night.”
Gravel timed in second quickest in his group at Lincoln Speedway before a win in both a heat race and the dash gave him the pole position for the 35-lap main event. He led the first 18 laps before he was briefly passed for the top spot on Lap 19. Gravel reclaimed the lead on the ensuing lap, but a caution came out to put him back to second for the restart.
“I felt good and we led quite a bit of laps in the feature,” he said. “I lost the lead and got it back, but an untimely red flag took the lead from us. We had an open red and the car didn’t refire like it did earlier. We didn’t make any changes. The tires were worn and it didn’t seem we had much grip after that open red so we lost a couple of positions.”
Gravel set quick time during qualifying and won a heat race both nights at Williams Grove Speedway. On Friday, he placed third in the dash before recording a podium in the main event.
“I got to second there and was right behind Kasey (Kahne),” he said. “I was biding my time to pick my spot and maybe wasn’t aggressive enough. The No. 23 and the No. 18 were all over me. Once I started racing with them it took me away from Kasey and I lost a position. From there I was hanging on to third. I felt we had a really, really good car for a majority of the race and started getting a little stagnant at the end.”
On Saturday, Gravel advanced from fourth to second place in the dash to start the main event on the outside of the front row.
“Our qualifying was unbelievable and really our dash set us up to win that race,” he said. “Just to get to second there was huge. I was able to get the jump in the A Main. I ran smooth, consistent laps. It’s always cool to win a race at Williams Grove and when it pays a little extra it’s even better.”
Gravel led the distance for his 10th career World of Outlaws win at the track. It was also the team’s fifth triumph of the season.
The #LetsRaceTwo doubleheader at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, is next on the schedule this Friday and Saturday.

Andy Forsberg 9th in Chico, CA before a 3rd Place Finish at Placerville
PETERSEN MEDIA: Another busy weekend for Andy Forsberg and Pacific Highway Rentals Racing saw the Auburn, CA driver score a ninth-place finish on Friday night in Chico, CA before tallying a third – place finish on Saturday night in Placerville, CA.
“Friday night it was fun to get back up to Chico, CA and take part in the opening night of the Bradway Memorial weekend,” Andy Forsberg said. “The track was super top dominant early in the night, but following a rework before the feature it was right around the bottom and really tough to pass on.”
With 20 cars checked in for Friday’s ‘Champions Classic’, Forsberg got the night underway by timing the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No. 92 in 10th fastest in time trials.
Lining up third in his heat race, Forsberg settled into fourth as the action came to life and the field blasted around the high side of the speedway. Finishing in the fourth position, Forsberg turned his attention to the night’s feature event where he took the green flag from the 10th starting spot.
With the opening laps slowed by tangles and accidents, Forsberg was able to avoid the fray and was up in sixth once the race settled into an extended green flag run.
Continuing to work the bottom, Forsberg made a bid for fifth in the closing laps of the race but as he and another car got battling for the bottom, Forsberg’s corner entry got thrown out of whack and he slipped up and fell back to ninth.
Unable to pick up lost positions, he went on to close the night out with a ninth-place finish.
With the team’s commitment to Placerville Speedway in 2026, Saturday night saw them make the trip to the El Dorado County Fairgrounds where Forsberg got the night kicked off by timing in 4th fastest in time trials.
Lining up on the pole of his heat race Forsberg and fellow front row starter Jake Morgan had an entertaining battle as they raced through turns one and two. With slight contact ensuing, Forsberg slipped back to third, which then placed him in the 10th starting spot of the feature event.
Jumping into eighth when the race came to life, Forsberg was up into fifth on the fourth lap as the leaders quickly reeled in traffic.
Following a caution on the ninth lap, Forsberg used the restart to power his way into third as he chased after Justyn Cox and Shane Hopkins who ran just ahead of him. Again, getting into traffic, Forsberg looked to have a run on the lead duo but a caution on the 15th lap hindered him and put the front runners back in clean air.
As the race clicked off its remaining laps, Forsberg held down the third position where he went on to finish.
“It was a pretty good night for us at Placerville, and I was happy how we moved forward from 10th,” Forsberg said. “There was a couple of times I thought traffic was going to fall in my favor, but some untimely cautions hindered us a bit. We had really good speed, we just couldn’t quite get to that lead duo in clean air.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Paul Nienhiser Continues Winning Ways
PETERSEN MEDIA: Finally able to kick the 2026 IRA season off over the weekend, Paul Nienhiser bounced back from a tough Friday night and picked up the Saturday night win at Sycamore Speedway.
“Over the weekend, we saw really technical tracks both nights,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Friday night we just got a little too buried and couldn’t rebound, but on Saturday night we put ourselves in good position and we were able to grab another win.”
Davenport Speedway in Davenport, IA played host to the 2026 IRA opener and going out extremely late in time trials, Nienhiser timed the AGRI-Yield/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc. No. 9x in 22nd fastest.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, Nienhiser was able to dig himself out of the early hole he was in as he raced to a fourth-place finish and transferred directly into the feature event.
With track conditions deteriorating rapidly, rubber going down was imminent so Nienhiser and crew took a couple big swings at their set up to try and put a car on track that could maneuver by any means necessary.
Lining up 15th, he flirted with the Top-10 early in the race, but as the rubber continued to go down, he slowly drifted back to 17th where he went on to finish.
Saturday night, the scene shifted to Sycamore Speedway, and even though conditions were very similar to Friday, things got off to a much better start as Nienhiser timed in fifth fastest in time trials.
Finishing third in his heat race, the Chapin, IL driver locked into Dash 1 and his third-place finish placed him in the third row of the 30-lap feature event.
On another extremely slick surface where rubber was imminent, Nienhiser made a couple of quick moves which saw him race into the second spot as rubber began to go down on the bottom of the speedway.
A late restart bunched the field back up, and when the action went back to green Nienhiser moved up one lane and was able to ride into the race lead as he quickly dropped back into the rubber.
Leading the final 10 laps, Nienhiser was able to secure his third win of the season, and his first of the year with IRA.
“I was really happy we bounced back on Saturday night after a tough start to the weekend on Friday,” Nienhiser said. “It was Scott Bonar’s birthday, so it was great to get him a nice birthday gift. I really want to thank Scott, Zoom, Caleb and Weston for working their tails off all weekend. If it wasn’t for them as well as Drake, Tom, and Eldon and the shop, we would not have been able to race these last few weeks as I have been busy outside of racing, and really appreciate all of their efforts.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-4, Wins-3, Top 5’s-3, Top 10’s-3
ON TAP: Nienhiser will spend this Saturday and Sunday in Wisconsin with the IRA as he will be at Plymouth Speedway on Saturday, and Angel Park Speedway on Sunday.
Landon Brooks Hard Charges in Chico, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending the weekend in Chico, CA, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team put together hard charges in the feature event both Friday and Saturday night as he scored two Top-10’s.
“Qualifying really hindered us both nights, but we raced really well, luckily,” Landon Brooks said. “We were able to pass a lot of cars which was nice, and ended up with a couple of Top-10’s.”
The weekend kicked off at Silver Dollar Speedway on Friday night for the ‘Champion’s Classic’, and Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Ent./Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 17th fastest in time trials.
Finishing sixth in his heat race, the Rio Oso, CA driver lined up 17th on the starting grid for the 30-lap feature event. With the opening laps being slowed by a pair of red flags and a yellow flag, Brooks was able to take advantage as he was in 11th on the first lap, and up into seventh on the second lap.
Jumping into sixth once the race got into a bit of a rhythm, Brooks went to work on the bottom groove of the speedway as pre-race track prep made the low side the preferred groove.
Continuing to hold down the sixth spot, Brooks moved into fifth on the 27th lap but his momentum pushed him up the track and dropped him back into sixth. Clicking off the final few laps, Brooks closed the night out with a sixth-place finish.
Back in action on Saturday night for the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial, Brooks found himself 19th on the speed chart after time trials which put him in the fifth starting position for his heat race.
Finishing fifth in his heat despite enduring heavy contact on the race’s final lap, Brooks was locked into the 40-lap Dave Bradway Jr Memorial feature event where he took the green flag from the 19th starting position.
As the feature came to life Brooks was able to use a lap 5 restart to power his way into 13th as he raced around the ¼ mile bullring. Getting into 12th on the 16th lap, the action started to get wild as the race hit the halfway point.
Able to use a lap 22 restart to blast into the Top-10, Brooks to over seventh but in close quarters racing was back in 9th on the 30th lap.
Looking to pick up the lost positions on the 31st lap, Brooks entered high in turns three and four but his momentum carried him off the racing surface and he drew a caution.
With the way the race had been going, he restarted from the 12th position and worked his back up to a 10th place finish when the wild 40-lapper came to a close.
“I still need to clean up a few things on my end and I think that will position us better,” Brooks said. “Time trials are so crucial here so, I am really thankful for all of my guys for giving me a car that raced really well despite getting off to tough starts both nights.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.

Kistler Racing Products rejoins Brad Doty Classic as Presenting Partner for all World of Outlaws heat races
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ATTICA, Ohio (May 11, 2026) - An entity certainly synonymous with hard work, dependability, and dedication, Kistler Racing Products, a regional supplier of all things sprint cars with roots planted right in the heart of northwest Ohio, is now the official presenting partner of all heat races for the 38th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac® Vitamins and Minerals at Attica Raceway Park.
Molded from an already well-established engine program, Paul Kistler opened Kistler Racing Products in 2008, giving Kistler Engines customers - as well as racers from around the country - a new avenue in obtaining pieces and parts for race day. Their one-stop-shop approach, with much of their offered inventory always in stock, provides customers the opportunity to build a car from the ground up - never missing a race day.
“I think I speak for everyone when I say we are thrilled to have Kistler Racing Products rejoin our efforts at the 38th Brad Doty Classic at Attica Raceway Park,” Brad Doty said. “Kistler’s work ethic and reputation speaks for itself, and with their roots planted right down the road, it’s all the more special to have them return to the Brad Doty Classic. I’m excited to see how these World of Outlaws heat races presented by Kistler Racing Products end up!”
Like seasons prior, the 38th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac® Vitamins and Minerals - now awarding a $20,000-to-win grand prize - will kick-off a massive Ohio swing for the Greatest Show On Dirt, which will see competition continue with the legendary Kings Royal at the world-famous Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
Carson Macedo, who finished third in the 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series standings, is the defending Brad Doty Classic champion, outdueling fellow California native, Buddy Kofoid, as well as a Hard Charging Donny Schatz - a ten-time World of Outlaws champion.
Like 2025, the Brad Doty Classic winner will be awarded the coveted Brad Doty Classic championship trophy and helmet – all to be awarded in Attica Raceway Park victory lane following the 40-lap contest.
Brown strong in Knoxville return; Eldora Speedway’s #LetsRaceTwo the primary plan
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (May 11, 2026) - After a not-so happy ending on Saturday, May 2, “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing reset their focus and turned things around in a hurry, capping their return to the Sprint Car Capital of the World - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa - with a top-five result.
Brown, a former multi-time track champion as well as 360 Knoxville Nationals champion, finished fourth in his most recent start, commencing action from third on the grid. The Grain Valley, Missouri, ace via Higginsville finished second in his respective heat race, activating his evening in the Hawkeye State with the fastest qualifying time of group two.
As noted, the ending was a happy one for Brown, recovering strong after a rollover one weekend prior.
“Again, a decent night at Knoxville Raceway. Solid speed early in qualifying and our heat,” Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, said. “In the ‘A,’ we knew we had to get going early because we knew the rubber was coming. Probably started searching a little too soon which allowed the guys behind us to get a run on us. Once they got by, we kinda just fell in line and maintained, able to run fourth.
“A solid effort by our Casey’s | FVP team, for sure, but we’re already looking forward to getting back to Eldora,” Brown added. “We have Friday circled, but we’ll evaluate the weather for Saturday and make a decision when that comes. We could make the trip back to Knoxville.”

Adding to his weekend stat sheet, Reutzel, who earned $20,000 for his Kokomo Speedway triumph, is now on top of the High Limit Racing championship chase, holding a nine point advantage over Tanner Thorson. In addition, the Kokomo Speedway victory was Reutzel’s second consecutive with High Limit Racing, victorious in Fort Worth, Texas, just one weekend prior.
Reutzel’s Kokomo Speedway visit was intended to be two days, but Friday’s program was eventually washed away due to Mother Nature.
“What a ride we’re on right now,” Ryan Wyant, Team Manager of the Ridge & Sons Racing, Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “It’s full steam ahead. We have the confidence and the chemistry to win, and we’re going to ride that momentum as long as we can. The plan is to put on a show all week in Ohio. It all starts Tuesday at Fremont.”

(May 11, 2026) - Justin Whittall and Rod Gross Motorsports made Pennsylvania Posse fans proud on Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, leading the charge as the highest Posse finisher in the annual Morgan Cup featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Whittall, a former Williams Grove Speedway winner as well as Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, finished second in Saturday’s $20,000-to-win, 30-lap A-Main, falling just behind reigning Outlaws champion David Gravel.
It was a productive evening on the whole for the Vincentown, New Jersey, ace, recording the fastest qualifying time in his respective group before racing on to a heat race victory. A fourth-place finish in the evening’s dash set his eventual feature starting position.
The runner-up result - a $9,000 score - was a great rebound for Whittall and Gross, opening Morgan Cup weekend with a 17th-place outcome on Friday, May 8.
“Just super exciting to put on a show with the World of Outlaws,” Whittall said. “It’s never easy racing with those guys. Every lap counts and they make you earn it. We have some things figured out and we’re ready to give it another go this weekend.”
ON DECK:
Justin Whittall will continue his 2026 season with visits to Williams
Grove Speedway (No. 67G) and Port Royal Speedway (No. 67) on Friday and
Saturday, May 15-16. Saturday’s event will feature the PA Posse 410
Sprint Car Series.

Rico and TSR race to podium in Bryan Clauson Hero Classic
2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Team Standings: Third | 801 Points (-28)
Date: Saturday, May 9th Series: Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Event: Bryan Clauson Hero Classic Track: Kokomo Speedway (Kokomo, Indiana) Rico Abreu A-Main Finish: 3rd (2nd)
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 11, 2026) - Known to most as “Indiana’s Baddest Bullring,” Kokomo Speedway in Kokomo, Indiana, lived up to the hype Saturday night, May 9, and St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu was right in the mix, concluding Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing’s $20,000-to-win Bryan Clauson Hero Classic with a podium result.
Abreu, the ace of Tony Stewart’s Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 24 sprinter, finished third in his visit to the Kokomo bullring, maintaining his place as a frontrunner after starting second on the grid. The reigning Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing champion earned his way into the 40-lap contest via second-fastest time in his respective group, racing on to finish fifth in his respective heat race.
Abreu’s Kokomo Speedway visit was intended to be two days, but Friday’s program was eventually washed away due to Mother Nature. Despite the fact, Abreu remains third in the current High Limit championship chase, trailing Aaron Reutzel by 28 markers.

SECOND CHANCE: CRSA Opens 2026 Season at Outlaw
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – May 7, 2026
They say, "If at first you don’t succeed, try again."
That’s what the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints will do to open up the 2026 season as they invade Outlaw Speedway Friday night.
With Thunder Mountain having rained out late April, this means Outlaw Speedway will open the season for a second year in a row and will also open the third edition of the Dandy Miniseries.
This is the first of three trips for the series to the 4/10 mile track in Dundee. The series will host some high-paying shows later this season, including a $2011-to-win show in a doubleheader alongside the Empire Super Sprints July 31 and a $4000-to-win two-day show with the Hoag Memorial Oct. 16-17. Last season, Jeff Trombley, Dandy Miniseries champion Jordan Hutton and Dillon Paddock found their way to victory lane.
In addition, the series will be a part of the undercard to the ULMS Super Late Models’ $10,000-to-win event.
Here’s a look at the news and notes for this weekend.
A Look Back at 2025: Last year, Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock dominated with 11 combined wins in 21 features, including four 1-2 finishes. Paddock had six wins to Sobotka's five, but Sobotka earned the CRSA championship—the first rookie to do so in 14 years.
Sobotka, Paddock, Jordan Hutton,and Bobby Parrow each claimed miniseries championships.
In 2025, five drivers—Zach Sobotka, Scott Landers, Spencer Burley, Johnny and Mikey Smith—scored their first CRSA wins.
With two 2025 wins, Jeff Trombley now tops the all-time CRSA list with 16 victories.
Car counts rose in 2025, averaging about 31 per show, with a record 48 cars at Weedsport in May.
Meet the Contenders: Sobotka and Paddock are expected to contend for wins and for the 2026 championship again. Who else are the threats in 2026?
Dalton Herrick, a CRSA stalwart, plans a full 2026 tour after a challenging 2025 season where he went winless for the first time since 2020 and finished sixth in points. He is aiming for his 11th series win.
Timmy Lotz, after his first full CRSA season, finishing fifth in points and with a career-best second at Ransomville, expects to return and contend for a victory in 2026.
Jordan Hutton returns in 2026 with a new paint scheme after winning the Dandy Miniseries and scoring an Outlaw Speedway victory last summer. His 305 experience makes him a consistent contender for more wins.
Scott Landers, fresh off his first career victory in a Twin 20 at Woodhull Raceway, finished fourth in points with three top fives and 10 top 10s. He and his son, Josh, plan to compete again in 2026.
Other potential frequent competitors in 2026 include Bailey Boyd, Dustin Sehn, Ethan Gray, Jerry Sehn Jr., Kirsten Dombroski, Matt Rotz, Paul Colagiovanni Sr., Steve Glover and more.
Can he do it again? Jordan Hutton has won numerous A-Mains at Outlaw Speedway with CRSA, most recently last August. But recently, Hutton scored the biggest win of his Sprint Car career at “The Baddest Dirt Track on the Planet.”
April 24, Hutton scored his first 360 win with the Empire Super Sprints at Outlaw in their season opener. Hutton, starting second in the feature, fell back early, but by lap 10 took the lead and even survived a late-race restart for his first-ever 360 win.
Hutton's recent victory and stated plans to compete this weekend at Outlaw Speedway position him as an early favorite, given his top finishes—first and second—at Outlaw last season.
By The Numbers: At Outlaw, the track joined the 40 club in car count last October when they hit 42 in the Hoag Memorial. This will be the 11th time the series has been pushed off here. Eight different winners have won a race at Dundee, with only two repeat winners. Darryl Ruggles in 2014 and 2016 and Jordan Hutton in 2022 and 2026.
From the Frontman: "It has been a difficult start to the season due to weather conditions. However, we anticipate returning to one of our most supportive tracks with strong car counts. According to Tyler Siri, the facility is in great shape and ready to go! Sprint car fans and people seeking entertainment after Watkins Glen races are encouraged to join us and experience the action."
Up Next: CRSA takes next week off and returns May 24 at Weedsport Speedway to begin the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Action Sunday night can be seen live on DIRTVision.
The CRSA Sprints are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers. Associate sponsors include Pit Stop Convenience Stores, DisBatch Brewing Company, Stirling Lubricants, Dandy, Joe's Garage, Westward Painting Company, Elab Smokers Boutique, iFreeze Storage & Distribution Center, Maguire Automotive Group, Powdertech Powdercoating, Ruggles World of Auto Body, PJC Business Ventures, Magsarus Ignitions, Hoosier Racing Tire, Bicknell Racing Products, Insinger Performance with their Stinger Race Fuel, My Race Pass and is owned and operated by Mike Emhof Motorsports.

Great Lakes Super Sprints Open Hartford Speedway Friday Night
Hartford, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP will help kick the gates open at Michigan’s Hartford Speedway this Friday night. One of the most technically challenging tracks on the circuit, Hartford Speedway offers teams an early-season opportunity to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack. Likewise, the tough-to-navigate third turn could also be an early-season troublemaker.
Hartford Speedway has long been a staple on the GLSS schedule, going back to the inaugural season in 2016. Dustin Daggett grabbed the win and the fast qualifier honors that season during the lone race held in July. Friday will mark the 19th different race held at Hartford. In that time, 10 different drivers have gone to victory lane.
The West Michigan facility has a habit of producing first-time winners with GLSS. Last season, Chase Dunham earned his first career win with the Tour after setting fast time earlier in the night. Dunham was a former track record holder at Hartford Speedway, setting the mark in 2020 before Tylar Rankin blistered a new record in 2022 with a 14.647, which remains the current record. Keith Sheffer, Jr and Jay Steinebach also reside on the list of drivers who earned their first career GLSS wins at Hartford Speedway. For Dunham, Sheffer, and Steineback, the wins serve as their only breakthroughs with the Series to date.
Former GLSS Champion, Ryan Ruhl, also notched his first GLSS win at Hartford Speedway in June of 2019. Since then, Ruhl has gone on to collect 10 career GLSS wins, three of which have come from Hartford.
The GLSS roll into Hartford having completed just one points-paying race this season, going back to Crystal Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 25th. Zane DeVault grabbed the win after a pair of engine failures for Jared Horstman and Clinton Boyles. DeVault currently sits atop the GLSS points championship hunt, but is expected to miss Hartford on Friday. Dustin Daggett and Max Stambaugh are separated by just 12 points heading into the weekend, with Van Gurley, Jr and Corbin Gurley directly behind them.
The Great Lakes Super Sprints open the season at Hartford Speedway on Friday, May 8th alongside Super Troopers and Cyber Stocks. Pit gates open at 4:00 PM with Grandstands opening at 5:00 PM. Fans who can’t make the trip can find the event live on GreatLakesSprints.tv.

Tafoya Places Fifth in Arizona — Eyes Return on May 16 After Hand Surgery
Chino Hills, CA — May 5, 2026 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. recorded
another impressive fifth-place finish when the Avanti Windows and Doors
USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visited the Central Arizona Speedway on April
18th. The talented veteran driver, who underwent hand surgery three days
after the race, plans on returning to USAC/CRA action when the series visits
the same track on May 16th.
Tafoya, who will turn 29 in July and who has yet to finish outside the top six in five starts in 2026, began the night in the Copper State by qualifying seventh fastest in the 19-car field. That placed the veteran driver in the third starting spot in the first heat race. He maintained that position throughout the race, guaranteeing himself at least a seventh-place starting spot in the main event.
Unfortunately for the Chino Hills, California-based driver, the six cars who qualified ahead of him also finished in the top four spots in their respective heat races. Had even one of them not done so, Tafoya would have started on the pole for the 30-lap main. Instead, he was relegated to the seventh starting spot.
During the early stages of the race, Tafoya found himself battling for ninth. However, around the halfway point, he began charging toward the front of the field, and it quickly became clear he was one of the fastest cars on the track. He steadily worked his way forward. With less than three laps remaining, he briefly raced into fourth before ultimately finishing fifth at the checkered flag.
“That was the first race back with that motor I had in there,” Tafoya said about the Central Arizona event. “Qualifying I was a little hesitant. It would have been better if I was one spot faster and started on the front row. The more laps I was doing the more comfortable I was getting. Just figuring out how much throttle I could put into it and reading the track. Definitely, the car setup came in later.”
“Towards the end I was coming on pretty strong. I think I could have gotten a couple more. I looked at some of the lap times and my best lap was on lap 23. Nobody else’s was better after lap 13. I definitely had something for them at the end.”
“Yeah, for sure,” Tafoya responded when asked if the recent performances were giving him more confidence. “I have been just trying to stay pretty steady and have a good night as a whole rather than just parts of the night. I guess the last piece is just starting a little farther forward. I will put a little extra emphasis on qualifying and see what it does for us.”
Three days after the Central Arizona race, Tafoya underwent surgery to repair damage done to his hand in a crash at Perris last season. The surgery kept him out of last Saturday’s race at Ventura Raceway. However, he plans to be back in the cockpit at Central Arizona when the USAC/CRA Series returns on the 15th and 16th of this month. He will follow that up with the prestigious Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on Labor Day Weekend.
“The crash, I just must have hit the metal roll cage over by the in and out shifter,” Tafoya said before his surgery. “It was just like a bunch of built up and left over tissue from a hematoma. Last year I was waiting until the end of the season to get it done. Then I had to wait more and more to get it done. Just all kinds of stuff.”
“It has been good,” Tafoya said last week about the surgery. “I have been on some pain killers. I will have stitches in until around the fifth.”
Eddie Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at eddietafoya51.
Team Tafoya Racing would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season. If you would like to join forces with the team for another fun and exciting year of racing in 2026, please contact Tafoya at Eddie Tafoya Jr. at (909) 393-3999 or mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com

See the “Track Tribute to Knoxville Raceway” on Your Next Visit!
Knoxville, IA, May 6, 2026 - The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum in Knoxville, Iowa, hopes to see you this summer for our “Track Tribute to Knoxville Raceway” exhibit! The exhibit, is currently on display through October 1, and features the cars, memorabilia, and much more from the “Sprint Car Capital of the World,” Knoxville Raceway!
Some famous rides of some of the best that ever ran at Knoxville and several items of memorabilia are exhibited in honor of the famous Knoxville, Iowa half-mile. In addition, videos showcasing the track, and memorabilia are also part of the exhibit.
The cars on display this summer include the Earl Wagner Supermodified #77 Pink Lady, the 1976 Knoxville Nationals winning Eddie Leavitt #4J Sprint Car from 50 years ago. the 1984 Knoxville Nationals winning Weikert’s #29 driven by Doug Wolfgang, the 1984 Bob Derry owned #22 driven by Danny Lasoski to his first win, the 1986 Daryl Arend’s #1A driven by Terry McCarl to his first win, the 1987 Coors Light Silver Bullet #11 driven by Steve Kinser to a Knoxville Nationals win, the 2023 Brian Brown Racing #21 driven by Brian Brown, and the 2025 Knoxville Nationals winning Liebig #10 driven by Ryan Timms. We are also soon expecting the 1991 TMC #1 driven by David Hesmer to the first 360 Nationals title.
“Knoxville Raceway is the undisputed ‘Sprint Car Capital of the World’ and the reason the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum was built on the grounds,” says Museum Coordinator, Bill Wright. “First built in 1878 as a horse track, it has seen immense changes and improvements. It was hard to narrow down what we would have for our tribute, but I think our guests will get a real feel for the Knoxville Raceway, and hopefully, it will bring back many memories. We’d be remiss if we didn’t thank Jeff Miller, Butch Smith, the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska, Ron Fick, Danny Lasoski, Bob Jones, Brian Brown, Terry McCarl, Frosty Harrington, Shane Liebig, David Hesmer, Ron Rees, Trevor Boyd, Sawyer Phillips and everyone else for making this exhibit a great one on the 65th Anniversary of the Knoxville Nationals!

Arenz tests Jacksonville, hunts IRA opener
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 6, 2026 – After seven months out of the seat, Travis Arenz took the controls of his 25T 410 Sprint Car for the first time in 2026 on Friday, May 1.
Following the cancellation of the scheduled Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association season opener at Wilmot Raceway on Saturday, May 2, Arenz decided to venture 365 miles south to the quarter-mile, high-banked Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., for the 2026 Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) lid lifter.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor opened the night by drawing the pole in the third 10-lap MOWA heat race. Arenz settled into second place behind fellow front row starter Zach Daum on the drop of the green flag.
The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion rode the spot the rest of the way en route to a runner-up showing.
Launching from the ninth starting position in the 25-lap MOWA main event, Arenz was running 13th when the first of five caution flags came out on lap 11. Following two more caution periods, Arenz lined up 11th on a lap 20 restart.
He maintained the 11th spot until another yellow flag appeared with just two laps remaining. On the restart, Arenz got bottled up among a group of cars and spun in turn four.
After restarting 15th, Arenz opened his 19th season of competition with a 14th-place showing.
“The decision to race was to really just get some laps in this season and never being to Jacksonville, I wanted to have some laps there before heading back in June,” Arenz said. “Overall, we didn’t do very well. We struggled early on. I didn’t make enough changes by feature time. Now, I know what direction I need to head towards when it comes to that place.
“On the restart, two cars got into each other slightly, and I hammered the brakes,” he said. “I turned left to avoid the guy in front of me, causing me to bring the caution out. We’re looking for better results at both IRA shows this weekend.”
The Travis Arenz Motorsports team will fire up the 2026 IRA campaign with a doubleheader weekend at Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa, on Friday, May 8, and Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill., on Saturday, May 9.
Spectator gates open at Davenport Speedway at 5 p.m. with hot laps scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
At Sycamore Speedway, spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m., hot laps start at 6:30 p.m., and racing to follow at 7:30 p.m.
All IRA events are streamed live on floracing.com.

"410" SPRINTS & BIG-BLOCK MODIFIEDS TO HEADLINE
SATURDAY'S OPENER AT SHARON; FREE GENERAL ADMISSION FOR ALL MOTHERS
May 6, 2026
(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway will try for the third time
to kick-off the 2026 racing season this Saturday night (May 9) in a "Super
Series" event presented by Bala Management. The 97th anniversary season
opener will include a pair of headlining divisions in the Hovis Auto & Truck
Supply "410" Sprint Cars and Big-Block Modifieds along with the Alcon
Mechanical Econo Mods and the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vics. Warmups
will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. followed by racing. It's Hovis Auto &
Truck Supply Night.
Saturday is the first of numerous theme nights scheduled throughout the season. Saturday's promotion includes FREE general admission for all mothers! The Willy's World Kids Club returns for the second straight year. The Kids Club will include games and sensory friendly crafts and will open when the general admission gates open at 5 p.m. Chris Verda, a "410" Sprint Car racer, will be the driver of the week that will be signing autographs and participating in the Kids Club activities. Sharon Speedway is a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Friend Venue; information is available at the Kids Club site behind the main grandstand building.
For the third straight year, the "410" Sprint Cars will race for a minimum purse nightly of $4,000 to-win, $400 to-start thanks to "Super Series" presenting sponsor Bala Management. The same format as in years past will be utilized with group qualifying to set the heat race lineups. Despite being retired for the past 10 years, Ed Lynch, Jr., still sits atop the all-time "410" Sprint Car win list with 50 victories over the retired Dave Blaney, who has 38 wins. Dave's brother Dale has worked his way up to 24 victories, good for sixth all-time. Bob Felmlee (14) and Jack Sodeman, Jr. (12) are the only two other active racers with double digit victories. The next nearest active winner is A.J. Flick with five followed by National Sprint Car Hall of Famer, Tim Shaffer, and Ohio standout, Cap Henry, who each have four victories.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds are set for their first of four straight visits as they will compete 11 times over the course of the 2026 season presented by King Bros. Ready Mix Concrete, King's Sanitary Services, Russ King Racing, and Thermo Supply. Saturday's event will pay $2,000 to-win, $200 to-start.
The Big-Block Modifieds have made 648 appearances all-time at Sharon with 99 different winners. The late Lou Blaney sits atop the all-time win list with 121 victories. Active drivers with double digit win totals include Rex King, Jr. (29), Jim Rasey (19), Brian Swartzlander (14), and Rob Kristyak (11). New York invader, Erick Rudolph, is up to seven Sharon wins and will look to add to that on Saturday. Canadian Dalton Slack won his first career Big-Block Modified feature last year at Sharon and is planning on competing Saturday as well.
The Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods will be starting their 17th year as a regular division at Sharon, and typically average around a full field of cars. One-hundred seventy-three races have been run all-time with 40 different winners. Jeremy Double overtook Brandon Blackshear in 2024 as the division’s all-time winner at 22; however, was shutout of victory lane in 2025. Jacob Eucker is the next active driver with 16 wins, but hasn’t won since August 5, 2023.
Rounding out the four-division program on Saturday night will be the Gibson Insurance Agency Crown Vic division, which debuted on June 21, 2025. The division has exploded in popularity throughout the nation in recent years. Five events were completed last year during the inaugural season with four different winners. Brian Krepps was the only repeat winner, while Coleton Longwell, Travis Reeher, and Jacob Moon were also victorious.

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, Wash – Nine hundred horsepower thunders into Skagit Speedway this Saturday, May 9, as the Hill Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars make their season debut alongside the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars and the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds. The ground will shake as 410s thunder by, don’t miss the experience this weekend!
The Hill Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars start their stretch of five weeks in a row of 410 racing at Skagit Speedway, with all roads leading toward the Skagit Casino Resort 54th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Trey Starks was the man to beat last year, winning the track championship with four wins (including Dirt Cup Saturday night), eight top fives, and 10 top 10s in 13 features. The championship was his third in four years. Jason Solwold ended his run of two in a row in 2024. Solwold finished second in the championship last year with one win, eight top fives, 11 top 10s in 14 features; he was 35 points behind Starks. Robbie Price finished third in points with five top fives and nine top 10s in 14 features raced. Colton Heath was the only other besides Starks to have more than one win – Heath had two. Jesse Schlotfeldt, Justin Youngquist, and Levi Klatt all had one win last year.
For two weeks in a row, Starks has found his way to victory lane at Skagit Speedway in the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Car Division. Starks started sixth but fell back to eighth early before making a surge back up through the field before passing Heath for the lead on lap 17. Heath and Cam Smith rounded out the podium in second and third, respectively. Starks continues to lead overall points with 245, Heath moves into second (-26), and Price slots into third (-40). Saturday was also the first race of the 360 Summer Challenge series, Starks leads those points through one race, with Heath and Smith in second and third.
The Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds return for their third week of racing in a row, and through two weeks, there have been two different winners. Tyson Blood came from 10th to first on opening night, while Cole Logan raced his way from seventh to the win last Saturday, May 2. Logan used the bottom side to move around Jeff Hunt and into the lead. Blood charged from ninth to third to continue his strong start to the season. Blood and Logan are now tied for the top spot in Skagit Speedway points at 78, with Rory Smith two points behind both of them.

Covington Shifts Focus Back to ASCS After Weekend with
High Limit at TMS
Glenpool, OK (May 5th, 2026) — Matt Covington stepped outside his comfort
zone last week, tackling a pair of 410 sprint car starts with the High Limit
Sprint Car Series at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track during the Nascar
Weekend. Competing against some of the best 410 drivers in the country,
Covington used the opportunity to gain valuable experience and continue
developing the Matt Covington Racing program during an off weekend from
American Sprint Car Series competition.
Thursday night marked Covington’s first-ever High Limit start and one of his
limited appearances in a 410-sprint car. While qualifying proved to be a
challenge, the team focused on making gains as the night progressed.
After qualifying, Covington lined up eighth in his heat race and finished
seventh, missing a transfer to the A-Main by one position and sending him to
the B-Feature. Starting third in the B, Covington maintained his position to
secure a transfer into the main event.
In the A-Main, Covington steadily improved as the race went on, learning
more about the 410 platform and track conditions, ultimately finishing 16th.
Saturday night brought a similar path for the Glenpool, Oklahoma native.
Following another tough qualifying effort, Covington again started seventh
in his heat race and finished seventh, forcing him into the B-Feature. This
time, he elevated his performance, charging to a second-place finish to lock
into the A-Main.
In the feature, Covington battled throughout the field while continuing to
adapt to the 410 setup. Despite missing the mark slightly on balance, he
gained valuable knowledge and experience, crossing the line in 20th.
“All in all, it was a good weekend for us,” Covington said. “We knew going
in that this would be a learning curve with the 410, especially against a
field like that. We learned a lot each time we hit the track, and that’s
only going to make us better moving forward.”
The weekend also marked a special partnership with Niece Equipment Company,
whose support and hospitality played a key role in the team’s weekend
efforts.
“We can’t thank Niece Equipment Company enough for coming on board with us
for this weekend,” Covington added. “Partners like them allow us to keep
building and developing this race team, allowing us to come to some of these
specialty events, and we’re really appreciative of their support.”
While the results may not fully reflect the progress made, the experience
gained against elite competition provides a strong foundation as Covington
returns his focus to the American Sprint Car Series championship chase in
his familiar #95 TripleX/Missel Motorsports/Fisher Engines powered 360
sprint car.
-Up Next
Matt Covington Racing returns to American Sprint Car Series to resume
championship competition this weekend at Benton Speedway on Friday, and
Paducah International Raceway on Saturday.

Braden Chiaramonte Dominates Nor*Cal Posse Shootout
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending his weekend in Placerville, CA running both a winged and non-winged sprint car, Braden Chiaramonte showed out as he ran second in non-winged action on Friday night, and won Saturday’s winged feature in dominating fashion.
“Friday night, I felt really good in the non-winged car, and running second is always fun, but it was cool to see Max Mittry win in the Chase Johnson car,” Chiaramonte said. “Saturday night, I actually felt way better all night in our non-winged car, but after getting collected in a wreck, our winged car was really good and it was great to pick up the win.”
After setting a non-winged track record in time trials on Saturday night, Chiaramonte scored a second-place finish in his heat race and found himself in the fifth starting position for the 30-lap feature event.
On a tricky Placerville Speedway surface, Chiaramonte settled into the fifth spot as the race got underway. Amidst a torrid green flag run, contact between the second and third place cars left Chiaramonte with nowhere to go as David Gasper sat sideways in turns one and two. Absorbing heavy contact, the El Cajon, CA driver’s race came to an end.
Equally as fast in his winged car on this night, Chiaramonte timed in third fastest in qualifying time trials before his third-place finish in his heat race locked him into the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Dash.
Running second in the Dash to Justyn Cox, Chiaramonte was on the front row of the 30-lap feature event. When the race’s initial green flag flew, Chiaramonte put his right rear on the cushion and blasted into the early lead only to see the yellow flag fly as he came around to complete the first lap.
The second start saw Cox slide up in front of Chiaramonte as they raced into turns one and two, but the youngster was able to turn down under Cox and power into the lead as they raced into turns three and four.
That was his race winning move.
Out in front, Chiaramonte flexed his muscle as he pounded the cushion lap after lap. A very good car underneath him allowed him to peel off the cushion when in traffic, but on this night, he was never challenged for the top spot.
Leading all 30-laps, Chiaramonte pocketed his first win of the season and took home the $8000 that was up for grabs to the NorCal Posse Shootout Champion.
Friday night the weekend came to life and Chiaramonte had great speed in his non-winged entry. In the feature event, he was patiently able to work his way into second and then slowly reel in race long leader, Max Mittry.
A very entertaining final five laps saw Chiaramonte and Mittry exchange the top spot lap after lap, but in the end Chiaramonte settled for a runner up finish.
Friday night winged action did not go nearly as well as he recorded a 16th place finish.
“It was a bummer that we got taken out of Saturday’s non winged race how we did, and I didn’t know how good our winged car would be,” Chiaramonte noted. “Big thanks to everyone who was helping us this weekend, because they gave me a great car in the feature and I am very proud to get this win.”
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 10, Wins- 1, Top 5’s- 3, Top 10’s- 5
ON TAP: Chiaramonte is slated to spend this coming weekend in Chico, CA for the annual Dave Bradway Memorial.

Dylan Bloomfield Picks Up Win and 4th Place Finish with C&M Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- Getting the nod to run the C&M Motorsports No. 7c over the weekend in Placerville, CA for the NorCal Posse Shootout, Dylan Bloomfield made the most of his opportunity as he made a last corner pass on Friday night to secure the win and followed it up with a fourth-place finish on Saturday night.
“I really want to thank Cody and Mandi Geaney for such a great opportunity to drive for them over the weekend,” Dylan Bloomfield said. “Cody, Bobby, and everyone that helps on the 7c gave me a great car all weekend long and it was super cool to get them a win on Friday night.”
With 22 cars on hand, Friday night got started with Bloomfield timing the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials. Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Discovery Bay, CA driver got the jump and never looked back.
Picking up the heat race win, Bloomfield locked the C&M Motorsports entry into the Dash where a fourth-place finish pitted him on the outside of the second row for the 30-lap feature event.
Running a very patient race on a very tricky surface, Bloomfield was able to capitalize on a couple of mistakes and soon found himself in second and chasing after Justyn Cox.
A late restart let Bloomfield hang with Cox and with the white flag in the air, Bloomfield made an attempt for the top spot in turns one and two, but Cox was able to answer. The action intensified in turns three and four as Bloomfield again slid up in front of Cox, and as Cox looked to again throw a counter punch, the two banged wheels down the front stretch and had a drag race to the finish with Bloomfield holding the advantage by a bumper and picking up the win.
Back in action on Saturday night for the $8000-to-win finale, Bloomfield timed in 4th fastest in time trials and again found himself on the pole of his heat race. With the inside lane still being greasy, the outside lane had the advantage and Bloomfield fell to second as the heat went green.
Holding the second position, Bloomfield missed out on the Dash but still found himself in the fourth row for the 30-lap finale.
On a track that was extremely dominant on the cushion, Bloomfield spent much of the race battling between sixth and seventh and passing was extremely difficult.
A late restart saw Bloomfield try the bottom, and it worked as he went from sixth to fourth and closed in on third running Cox in the final laps. Unable to secure the final position on the podium, Bloomfield closed the weekend out with a fourth-place finish.
“It was just a really fun weekend with the C&M Motorsports team, and I am really thankful they took a chance on me,” Bloomfield added. “I am hopeful that our schedules align and we can race together again.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.

Joel Myers Jr Races into Feature During Knoxville Raceway’s Regular Season Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA: Travelling to Knoxville, IA over the weekend to get some laps at the famed ½ mile, Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports were pleased with the progress they made in what was Myers Jr’s fifth start ever at the track.
“Knoxville is such a tricky place, and I was really happy with the progress we made and racing into the feature event against a really deep field of cars,” Joel Myers Jr said. “I don’t have a ton of ½ mile laps, so the more I can run there the more I can learn and the better we will get.”
Running some practice laps on Friday night, Saturday night saw Myers Jr time the Velocity Engineering/Installtec Inc./RPM Chassis backed No. 19 in 16th fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up eighth in his heat race, the Sebastopol, CA driver went to work in his heat race. Able to race his way into fifth, he earned the transfer into the 25-lap feature event where he lined up in 19th.
Despite being in the 10th row for the feature event, Myers Jr continued to focus on improving his racecraft on the famed speedway, and learning some of the track’s nuances.
When the feature event drew to a close, the 2025 Trophy Cup Champion scored an 18th place finish.
“This trip was more about getting laps and gaining experience,” Myers Jr added. “Like I said, I think it was a successful trip and I am thankful to my guys for their hard work during our test session and Saturday night during the race.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Velocity Engineering, Installtec Inc., RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, FK Rod Ends, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Brad Alexander Suspension, Jim O’Neal Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Mariah Ede Set For Dave Bradway Jr Memorial After Pair of Tough Weekends
PETERSEN MEDIA: After back-to-back rough weekends, Mariah Ede is already looking forward to this Saturday night’s Dave Bradway Jr Memorial in Chico, CA at Silver Dollar Speedway.
“Unfortunately, the last couple of weeks have seen us get the short end of the stick in a couple of incidents that were avoidable,” Mariah Ede said. “It has been a disappointing couple of weeks but I am extremely thankful that my team continues to work hard and we are hoping things go better in Chico, CA this weekend.”
Returning to action on Saturday night at Santa Maria Speedway after a heat race incident resulted in a destroyed racecar back on April 24th, Mariah Ede got the night kicked off by timing the Pacific Boring/M&L Plumbing/Circle J5 Ranch backed No. 14 entry in seventh fastest in time trials.
Lining up on the front row of her heat race, Ede settled into second as she chased after World of Outlaws regular Carson Macedo. Continuing to hold down second, Ede looked to be on her way to very good feature event starting position until contact on the seventh lap ultimately relegated her to a sixth-place finish.
Finding herself back in the 16th starting position, passing proved to be extremely difficult on the hooked up and locked down Santa Maria Speedway surface.
In a feature event that turned a bit chaotic in the closing laps, Ede closed the night out in 13th and is looking forward to getting to Chico, CA for the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial this coming Saturday night.
Mariah Ede and the Mariah Ede Racing team would like to thank Pacific Boring, M&L Plumbing, Circle J5 Ranch, FK Rod Ends, and MetTec Titanium for their support.
ON TAP: Mariah Ede is now set for Chico, CA for more NARC action on Saturday night.

Fully Injected Motorsports makes a move to MyRacePass
KITTANNING, Pa. (May 4, 2026) - Fully Injected Motorsports presented by Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts (FIM), your one-stop-shop for all things motorsport press and media management, has made the move to MyRacePass, and is now live via www.fullyinjected.com.
Maintaining its signature theming, all while being updated with an easy-to-navigate user interface and menu options, Fully Injected Motorsports’ new online home will continue to provide a direct link to those it represents, updated regularly with team news and results, as well as breaking stories, schedule changes and partner announcements. The FIM move to MyRacePass will not only prove vital to the drivers and teams promoted regularly on the site, but in addition, prove vital to the entity itself, ensuring success for seasons to come.
“This has been in the works for a little while now, so I’m excited it has finally happened. It’s a privilege to be associated with the MyRacePass Family. Jeremy (Peters) and the entire team have been wonderful to work with and I hope to only build on this relationship,” Tyler Altmeyer, owner and founder of FIM, stated. “They provide everything I need, not only in helping me find the necessary information to fulfill my duties at FIM, but tech support, security…everything. They put up with me, so that says a lot about their character.”
Formed in late 2010, FIM was born from a blog, slowly morphing into the entity that it is today. Since its inception, FIM has worked with countless drivers, race teams and entities, providing regular press, web maintenance, email services, and social media content.
“This all kinda happened by accident,” Altmeyer continued. “It started out as a blog, slowly building relationships with local teams that eventually gave me the opportunity to write about their results. It’s been a wild ride with a ton of people to thank. Danny Holtgraver was the first driver to really give me a shot…I owe most of this momentum to him.”
Today, FIM represents drivers and teams across multiple disciplines. And although some compete at the national level while others focus on a more local or regional schedule, FIM’s focus and work ethic remains the same.
“I’m certainly not the best at what I do, and I never will be, but I work hard and do whatever I can to get the job done and in a timely manner,” Altmeyer concluded. “And with MyRacePass in my corner, things are only going to get better.”

Starks Rallies From Eighth to Earn Another Win at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (May 4, 2026) – Trey Starks had to work hard to secure his second straight victory to start the season last Saturday at Skagit Speedway.
After setting quick time during qualifying and maneuvering from fourth to second place in a heat race, the feature redraw lined Starks up on the outside of the third row.
“Qualifying well sets you up for the rest of the night,” he said. “If you don’t have a shot to win the heat race, at least move around to see what the track has to offer and your car has to offer. It gives us an idea for what we need to do for the feature. I felt we were efficient early in the night and it put us in position to be successful in the feature.”
Starks dropped as far back as eighth in the first few laps of the main event before a caution on Lap 7 bunched the field together, allowing Starks to capitalize and quickly climb into the top five. He gained another position the ensuing lap and then drove from fourth to second place on Lap 10.
“I didn’t get a good start and fell back to eighth,” he said. “I rode there for a few laps, getting a feel for where the track was moving. We got the caution and I was able to regroup. I saw where the cars in front of me were going and I just tried to find a clear lane. Our car was good enough to make anywhere on the track work. I picked wherever the guy in front of me didn’t go.”
Starks took the lead on Lap 17 and held strong to the top spot despite a late-race caution for his fourth consecutive win at the track dating back to last year.
“We were able to find a hole and sneak past the leader,” he said. “We had a couple more restarts and I was able to keep the car straight and inch away from them little by little. Toward the end the cautions fell right to where we didn’t have to deal with traffic very much. It felt good to have a car that was as maneuverable as it was.”
Next up is double duty this Saturday at Skagit Speedway, where Starks will compete in both the 410ci and 360ci winged sprint car divisions. This will mark his season debut in the 410 as the first two races of the year have been in the 360 division, which Starks leads at Skagit Speedway by 26 points.
Starks has been victorious in both divisions on the same night at Skagit Speedway each of the last three years.
Additionally, he has started a season with three straight wins once in his career.
QUICK RESULTS –
May 2 – Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 2 (4); Feature: 1 (6).
SEASON STATS –
2 races, 2 wins, 2 top fives, 2 top 10s, 2 top 15s, 2 top 20s

Mallett Records Top Fives at North Alabama Speedway and Thunderhill Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – SUMMERTOWN, Tenn. (May 4, 2026) – Jordon Mallett tripled his top-five finishes this season after a solid weekend with the USCS Series.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains garnered a third-place result on Friday followed by a fourth-place finish on Saturday, piecing together the best weekend of the season so far for the team.
“I look at it as this is the first weekend we’ve had together,” Mallett said. “Everything went according to plan and relatively well. We had a really good race car every time we hit the race track so I’m looking forward to building on that.”
Mallett finished where he started – third – in a heat race on Friday at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala.
“We unloaded a really, really good car,” he said. “In the heat race, we made it to second and an ill-timed caution came out as I got to the leader. I thought I had a little more breathing room on the restart and was trying to get where I could square up the leader and it cost us a position. I was going for the win instead of trying to protect and that knocked us out of the dash.”
Mallett lined up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event.
“We were able to get going good in the feature,” he said. “At one point I was confident it was going to be our race. However, the nose wing got knocked down and once that happened, we had to stay content in third place as I had to change how to drive the car to cope with the nose wing being down.”
His five positions gained were tied for the third-most cars passed.
Similar results played out on Saturday at Thunderhill Raceway, where Mallett placed third in a heat race before advancing from seventh to fourth place in the main event.
“I felt good on Saturday night,” he said. “We battled rain off and on throughout the day and into the evening. It made the track sketchy and narrow and fast. It’s really hard to do much when it gets that way. By the time the feature came the track started to widen out and we could start racing. A.G. gave me a good race car and we could make good laps and had good speed to get another top five.”
Mallett returns to action this Friday at Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo., with the ASCS National Tour. He plans to also compete on Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.
QUICK RESULTS –
May 1 – North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala. – Heat race: 3 (3); Feature: 3 (8).
May 2 – Thunderhill Raceway in Summertown, Tenn. – Heat race: 3 (3); Feature: 4 (7).
SEASON STATS –
7 races, 0 wins, 3 top fives, 4 top 10s, 4 top 15s, 7 top 20s

Brooks 7th at Watsonville Speedway; Late Incident Dashes
Podium Hopes at Santa Maria Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing were back in action following their last event getting rained out. Taking part in a coastal doubleheader with NARC, Brooks recorded a seventh-place finish on Friday night in Watsonville, CA before an incident while battling for second late in the race on Saturday night at Santa Maria Speedway ended his night a few laps early.
“Both nights we had really good speed, and we were all happy with the progress,” Brooks said. “I needed to clean a few things up on Friday myself, and on Saturday we just got caught up in an incident racing for second.”
Kicking the doubleheader weekend off on Friday night at Watsonville Speedway in Watsonville, CA Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/THE/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 10th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up third in his heat race, a very narrow surface early in the night made passing tough and he settled into fourth as the race went green. Going on to finish fourth, Brooks then lined up 12th in the feature event.
When the feature event rolled around, Brooks got off to a good start as he was able to quickly work his way into the Top-10. Rolling around in 10th for the first half of the feature, Brooks worked into ninth on the 18th lap, before making a couple of nice moves on laps 25 and 27 to take over seventh, which is where he capped the night off.
Saturday night, the scene shifted to Santa Maria Speedway where the Rio Oso, CA driver got his night underway by timing in ninth quickest in qualifying time trials.
Finding himself on the front row of his heat race, Brooks was hard on the throttle when the green lights flashed and powered into the lead. Scoring the win, Brooks earned a spot in the all-important Dash, where his sixth-place finish put him in the third row to start the feature.
Despite the surface being extremely fast, Brooks had a great car underneath him that allowed him to move forward. Battling hard, Brooks was up into the third position as the laps clicked down. Continuing to run hard, Brooks went to make a move for second, but contact ensued and it resulted in a collapsed front end which brought his night to an end.
“The track was really locked down on Saturday, but Steven, Kyle, and Tanner gave me a really good car and we were able to make some passes and chase after the leaders,” Brooks said. “Unfortunately, we got collected trying to pass for second and it brought our night to an end. I really want to thank my guys for their hard work all weekend, as well as Roger and Lori Hamilton for what they continue to do for me. I also want to thank all of our partners who make long weekends like this possible.”

Chance Grasty 6th at Watsonville Before Heart Break at
Santa Maria Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- A busy weekend for Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team saw Grasty pick up a sixth-place finish on Friday night at Watsonville Speedway before enduring heart break on Saturday night while battling for his first career NARC win at Santa Maria Speedway.
“We had a ton of speed all weekend, and Saturday night we were in a really good spot to pick up our first NARC win, but I just made a terrible mistake in traffic got upside down late in the race,” Grasty said. “I feel terrible for my team because they deserved to be on the front stretch celebrating.”
Saturday night, Santa Maria Speedway played host to the second half of a NARC coastal doubleheader weekend, and Grasty got off to a great start as he earned quick time honors in qualifying aboard the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry.
Pocketing a third-place finish in heat race action, Grasty moved into the Dash where he win put him on the pole of the 30-lap feature event as he chased after his first career NARC triumph.
On a very fast Santa Maria Speedway surface, the Suisun City, CA driver jumped out to the lead and began setting a very strong pace out front.
Continuing to click off laps, Grasty soon found the rear of the field and began the lapping process. On the 20th lap, Grasty’s night drastically changed as contact in traffic saw Grasty give up the lead as he got upside down and was forced into the work area.
Even though dejected, Grasty was able to restart the race after the F&F Racing team made some swift repairs in the work area and managed to salvage an 11th place finish.
The weekend opened up for the team on Friday night as they headed to Watsonville Speedway. Timing in fifth fastest in time trials, Grasty won his heat, won his Dash, and led the field to green.
Jumping out to the early lead, Grasty soon felt pressure from Tim Kaeding. Holding Kaeding off for a few laps, Grasty gave up the top spot on the 6th lap, and actually slipped back to third.
Holding his own inside the Top-5 a late restart saw Grasty slip up and fall to sixth where he ultimately went on to finish.
“Friday night we were also really good, I just lost a couple of spots trying something and got out of rhythm,” Grasty said. “Saturday night, I knew I needed to make a move in traffic, but as I went to slide he ended up running the bottom, which nobody had been doing, and I just had too much momentum and clip the rear of his car.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

Andy Forsberg 5th at the NorCal Posse Shootout
PETERSEN MEDIA: This past weekend saw Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team take part in the annual NorCal Posse Shootout at Placerville Speedway where Forsberg scored a fifth-place finish on Saturday night.
“We had really good car speed all weekend long,” Andy Forsberg said. “Friday night we were in a good spot until a car got out of shape in front of us and we went from 4th to last before pulling off, and on Saturday night we worked our way to a fifth-place finish.”
With 22 cars on hand for the annual two-day event, Forsberg went out second to last in time trials and was able to time the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No. 92 in second fastest.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Forsberg’s third place finish locked him into the all-important Dash. Taking the green flag from the fourth starting spot, Forsberg had a big run as he went to challenge for a spot on the front row for the feature event.
Charging hard into turn one, Forsberg caught a rut wrong and did everything but tip over as he fell back to a sixth-place finish.
Taking the green flag from the outside of the third row for the opening night feature event, Forsberg picked up a couple of positions early as he was in fourth for a double-file restart. When the action returned to green, a car got sideways in the same ruts in turn one and taking evasive action, Forsberg flew off the edge of the track and fell back to last.
Doing what he could in the back of the pack, Forsberg ultimately called it a night early as his team turned their attention to Saturday night.
Going out 19th for time trials on Saturday night, Forsberg still laid down a solid lap as he timed in sixth fastest overall on a very fast Placerville Speedway surface.
On the pole of his heat race, Forsberg needed the win to make the Dash and the odds were stacked against him with the bottom not the opportune place to start. Falling to second when his heat race went green, Forsberg tried everything he could to reel in Jake Haulot, but his second-place finish put him eighth on the starting grid for the $8000-to-win feature event.
With the track extremely dominant on the cushion for the feature event, Forsberg settled into sixth as the race came to life. A late restart went his way and as cars got out of shape in front of him, he was able to dip low and take over the fourth position.
In the waning laps of the feature, Forsberg got into the super thick cushion in turns three and four just out of shape enough to upset his car and in doing so it let Dylan Bloomfield by as he slipped back to fifth where he went on to close out the weekend.
“It was kind of a story of things going completely against us on Friday night, and Saturday night we had some things go our way for a change,” Forsberg said. “Two day shows are definitely tough on these local teams out here, and I have to give it up to my team for working so hard and really giving me a fast car.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Paul Nienhiser Makes it 2x2 To Start the Season
PETERSEN MEDIA: Getting his 2026 season kicked off with a season-opening win one week ago in Pevely, MO, Paul Nienhiser wasted no time returning to victory as he dominated Friday night’s season opening event at Jacksonville Speedway.
“In recent years, I haven’t typically felt great early in the night at Jacksonville Speedway, but on Friday night my guys had my car super-balanced and we were extremely fast from hot laps through the feature event,” Paul Nienhiser said.
After setting the tone in warm-ups to open the night, Nienhiser lined up in the second row of his heat race aboard his AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance backed No. 9x.
Making a couple of quick moves, Nienhiser was quickly out front and digging on the ¼ mile bullring. Picking up the win from third, he was locked into the redraw where his three-year-old daughter drew him the two pill to put him on the front row of the feature event.
With the track still holding grip prior to the 410ci feature event, Nienhiser and company set up for the early track conditions and it seemed to pay off as the Chapin, IL driver built up a three second lead on a pair of occasions only to be slowed by a pair of caution flags.
The dominant car on this night, Nienhiser was not to be denied on this night as he cruised to his second win of the season in just his second start.
“I am really happy with how our car has felt in these first two nights, as we now prepare for the IRA season,” Paul Nienhiser said. “It looks like the weather will let us kick things off this weekend, and I could not be more excited.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-2, Wins-2, Top 5’s-2, Top 10’s-2

Double-D eyes big week with Outlaws in Posse Country
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (May 4, 2026) - For much of the sprint car racing world, all eyes will be on Central Pennsylvania, and Gettysburg’s own Danny Dietrich will be in on the action, set to join the Greatest Show On Dirt in Series visits to Lincoln Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway on Tuesday, May 5, and Friday and Saturday, May 8-9, respectively. The World of Outlaws will invade Central Pennsylvania on multiple occasions in 2026, all of which culminating with Williams Grove’s World of Outlaws National Open in early October.
Dietrich, the ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, is certainly no stranger to World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series competition, and will roll into the week fresh off of a podium run at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 3. “Double-D” finished second in his podium appearance, simultaneously bumping his overall top-five count to 10 on the season - two of which concluding in victory lane.
As expressed, Dietrich is no stranger to action with the Greatest Show On Dirt, earning five-career victories with the Series, his most recent in a Touring debut at Bridgeport (NJ) Motorsports Park in 2019.
“We’re due, and Gary deserves one,” Dietrich said. “It’s always a big deal when the Outlaws come to town. We’re going to do everything we can to put on a show. It’s been an up and down year for our team, but the guys keep digging. If there’s a perfect time for a season to reset, it’s this week.”
ON DECK:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2026 season with
a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series triple in Central Pennsylvania. The

Zearfoss the best at the Speed Palace; Lincoln, Williams Grove WoO invasion ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
JONESTOWN, Pa. (May 4, 2026) - The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss certainly lived up to his moniker, not only securing back-to-back top-tens in weekend visits to Port Royal Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, but earning a victory in the process, achieved at the “Speed Palace” on Saturday, May 2. For Zearfoss, a former Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, the triumph was his first of the season - a perfect momentum shift before the Greatest Show On Dirt invasion kicks off Tuesday.
Zearfoss, the ace of his own Brock Zearfoss Racing, Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, Blue Mountain Wellness, No. 3Z sprinter, earned his trip to victory lane with just four circuits remaining, driving by leader Justin Whittall with a backstretch move before diving into turn three. The move stuck, and although Whittall was eager to regain command, Zearfoss remained calm and collective, eventually separating himself from the field via lapped cars.
As noted, it was a back-to-back top-ten weekend outing for the Jonestown, Pennsylvania, native, racing on to finish sixth at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 3.
“Feels great to be back on top at Port Royal Speedway,” Zearfoss said. “We’ve had a lot of bad luck thrown our direction this season, but the guys never give up. We have the tools and the knowledge to be successful, we just need a few breaks to finally go our way. If you’re going to find some rhythm, right before an Outlaws invasion is the time to do it.”

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 4, 2026) - Another Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing weekend equaled another string of solid performances for Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR), translating a pair of Texas Motor Speedway starts into back-to-back top-tens. In fact, the St. Helena, California, native finished no worse than sixth in the two-race Stockyard Stampede blockbuster, highlighting competition with a runner-up result on Thursday, April 30.
Abreu’s eventual runner-up commenced with a heat race victory, racing on to finish fifth in the evening’s dash.
Thursday’s podium was Rico’s fifth of the 2026 season, and after his sixth-place outcome on Saturday, May 2, TSR accumulated enough points to remain in the fight for a second-consecutive Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing national championship. The team is third in the current title chase, a mere-40 points out of the top spot controlled by Tanner Thorson. Although held to just one victory thus far in 2026, Rico’s High Limit stats include ten top-tens, four of which accomplished within the top-five including the aforementioned victory at Central Arizona Raceway.

Whittall quick in weekend visits to Port and BAPS; Williams Grove Speedway’s Morgan Cup to highlight coming agenda
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (May 4, 2026) - Justin Whittall put up big numbers in his recent stretch of competition, not only battling for back-to-back top-tens in weekend starts at Port Royal Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, but the New Jersey ace recorded a podium in the process - finishing second at the Port Royal “Speed Palace” on Saturday, May 2.
Whittall, the most recent Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, earned his runner-up score in his season debut for Curt Michael and Heffer Racing Enterprises South. Impressive enough, Whittall’s run to second nearly resulted in victory, leading a portion of the main event before losing command to eventual winner, Brock Zearfoss, with four circuits remaining.
Heffner Racing Enterprises South’s second consecutive top-ten occurred at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 3, this time with Whittall climbing ahead from 11th to finish ninth. With all results considered, the “Garden State” wheelman now owns five top-tens on the year, two within the top-five.
“Grateful to get another opportunity to drive for Curt Michael. We seem to mold well together and our results show…quick right out of the box,” Whittall expressed. “We felt so good at Port Royal. I thought we had that one in the bag. Brock was better than us, but losing a w-link on lap one didn’t help our cause. We’ll give it another go soon.”

BIGGER IN TEXAS: Madsen and Vermeer with big results in Lone Star State double, All eyes on Kokomo Speedway

MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (May 4, 2026) - As known to most, “everything is bigger is Texas,” and for “The Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports, the biggest part of their High Limit Racing trip to the Lone Star State was their results, concluding Texas Motor Speedway’s Stockyard Stampede doubleheader with back-to-back top-five appearances. For Madsen, who calls Iowa home via St Marys, New South Wales, Australia, the top-five run was not only vital short term, but also in the long term, as the points earned propelled the team to fifth in the High Limit Racing national championship.
Madsen, powering Tony Vermeer’s TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors, No. 55 sprint car, finished fifth and third in his Texas Motor Speedway double; fifth on Thursday, April 30, and third in the weekend finale on Saturday, May 2. With all results considered, Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports now own 10 top-ten achievements on the season, three of which within the top-five including their recent victory at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, included.
It should be noted that Madsen started no worse than third in each of his A-Main appearances, winning his respective heat race in each night of competition.
“Super happy with our results this weekend in Texas. Feels good to come out of there with a ton of momentum and a ton of consistency,” Madsen noted. “Here’s to keeping this momentum alive in our upcoming weekend at Kokomo Speedway. It’s an exciting place and I’m confident we’ll continue to put up some big results.”

BEST IN SHOW: Aaron Reutzel and RSR tame Texas in Stockyard Stampede finale
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (May 4, 2026) - “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) were best in show Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, outdueling the best of High Limit Racing in the Stockyard Stampede finale. Reutzel, securing his third triumph of the season, led every circuit of the 30-lap contest, surviving a last-ditch-effort lunge by Clovis, California’s Corey Day. Adding to the weekend stat sheet, it was Reutzel’s first-ever National Touring Series win in his home state of Texas, now with ten-career High Limit Racing victory lane appearances.
It should be noted, Reutzel was a two-time podium finisher on the weekend, opening the Stockyard Stampede with a third-place result on Thursday, April 30; he started fourth.
With all results considered, Reutzel and RSR maintain their status as a heavy favorite in the High Limit Racing national championship, a mere-21 points from the top spot held by Nevada’s own Tanner Thorson.
“Overall, a fantastic weekend for Ridge & Sons Racing…and to do it in Texas is extra special, especially for Aaron,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, noted. “Hats off to this entire team. We can’t say it enough, but we’re surrounded by so many great people. It takes a whole army to maintain a team worthy of a championship and I’m confident we’re well within those ranks. Here’s to a great momentum boost heading into Kokomo Speedway.”

Blackjack finds tough luck at Knoxville, set to return May 9
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (May 4, 2026) - “Blackjack” Brian Brown
and Brian Brown Racing did their best to beat the best Saturday night at the
famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, but in the end, it was a busted
hand, forced to surrender early due to a hiccup on the cushion.
Brown, the driver of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen
Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain
Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, was
on a roll before the aforementioned incident, powering on to a third-quick
qualifying effort before finishing second in his respective heat.
The Grain Valley, Missouri, ace via Higginsville went on to
start fifth in the A, and after a great battle to keep himself in top-five
contention, it was the cushion that bit him; he was scored 22nd.
“We took our notes from the Outlaws weekend with the intent
to be even better this week and we were able to do that. Near the top of the
board in hot laps, third quick in qualifying, had a strong car in the heat
and ran second…things were in motion,” Brown stated. “We didn’t feel the
best in the world in the A, but we were maintaining. Just as things were
starting to really get good, I ended up getting into the turn one cushion
and got above it. I tried to stay in the throttle to get back out of it, but
I put myself in more trouble and tripped over the right front. Definitely
not what I was hoping to do by any means of the imagination. It was 100%
driver error. It was unfortunate, but sometimes you’re going to have that
when you’re pushing the issue.
“The plan is to get things fixed up and get back to Knoxville this week.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with a
return visit to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, May 9.

Brent Sexton Gaining Steam, Set for Placerville Sprint Car Battle
Lakeside, CA — April 29, 2026 — After turning in a strong performance last Friday night at Watsonville Speedway, veteran sprint car driver Brent Sexton is heading back north this weekend for the 8th Annual Nor Cal Posse Shootout with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Placerville Speedway.
Watsonville is quickly becoming one of Sexton’s favorite stops, and he added
another solid run to his résumé there last weekend. Returning to the track
where he scored a fifth-place finish in 2025, the night did not start the
way he had hoped. In his first-ever race in a winged 360 sprint car, Sexton
qualified 15th out of 18 cars with a time of 12.304. He then started and
finished fifth in his preliminary heat race.
When the green flag dropped for the main event, however, he showed his trademark determination. Starting on the inside of the eighth row, the three-time lightning sprint car champion charged forward in the #3G, advancing five positions to finish 10th. The result marked his seventh top-10 finish in nine main event starts in 2026.
Twenty-four hours later, Sexton made the trip to Merced Speedway for his debut with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Unfortunately, rain arrived after qualifying, forcing the cancellation of the remainder of the program.
Now, with a 540-mile journey from his Lakeside, California home, Sexton sets his sights on Placerville Speedway for his fourth Ultimate Sprint Car Series appearance of the season. His most impressive outing to date came at Thunderbowl Raceway on March 28th, when he charged from 14th to seventh in the main event. Three weeks later at the same track, a sticking throttle ended his night early, resulting in an 18th-place finish.
Racing at Placerville this weekend is expected to draw a strong USCS field at one of Northern California’s premier sprint car tracks. It will give Sexton another opportunity to build momentum as the season rolls on.
Adult tickets at Placerville are $25 each night. Seniors
(62+), military personnel, and juniors (ages 12–17) are $22. Kids ages 6–11
are $10, and children five and under are admitted free. Tickets can be
purchased at the gate or online at the following links:
Friday: https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr-050126
Saturday: https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr-050226
Placerville Speedway is located at the El Dorado County
Fairgrounds in Placerville, California. Take US-50 to the Forni
Road/Placerville Drive exit, then head north on Placerville Drive to the
fairgrounds. The physical address is 100 Placerville Drive, Placerville, CA

Franklin, Pennsylvania - April 30, 2026 - We regret to announce that due to persistent rain and below-average temperatures, we are postponing our opening night races scheduled for May 1 at Tri City Raceway.

reschedule.”
While it’s a letdown, we remain hopeful for better weather ahead. We truly

Robert Ballou Scores First Win of Season at Kokomo Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending his weekend at Kokomo Speedway, Robert Ballou flexed a little muscle as he swept the Saturday night program before capping the strong showing off with a second-place finish on Sunday night.
“I felt really good during our last outing a few weeks back, so it was great to keep that speed going at Kokomo Speedway,” Robert Ballou said. “Sunday night, I made some changes before the feature, but they did a little track prep while we were getting shoved to staging and our changes ended up hurting us a little.”
The Rocklin, CA driver’s weekend kicked off on Saturday night as he earned fast time honors in his qualifying group aboard the Suburban Subaru/Deaton’s Waterfront Service/Berks Western Telecom backed No. 12 entry.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Ballou showcased a very strong car as he worked his way forward. Powering his way into the lead, Ballou’s win put him in the second row of the 25-lap feature event.
When the feature came to life, Ballou wasted no time jumping out front. Jumping to second on the opening lap, ‘The Madman’ was out front on the second lap and never looked back.
Leading the next 24 laps, Ballou went on to score his first win of the 2026 season.
Returning to action on Sunday night, Ballou continued to showcase a very strong Ballou Motorsports entry. Timing in third fastest in qualifying time trials, Ballou lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Grabbing the early lead, the Rocklin, CA driver scored the win and found himself in the third row of the feature event.
Taking the green flag from fifth, Ballou dropped back to seventh on the opening lap but was able to quickly get going in the right direction as he moved into fifth on the race’s second stanza.
Making quick work inside the Top-5, Ballou found himself in second on the seventh lap and set his sights on Kyle Cummins who was out front. Not quite able to track Cummins down, Ballou capped his strong weekend off with a second-place finish.
“We decided to free our car up before the ‘A’ so we could run in the fluff above the cushion if we needed to, but before the feature they packed the top in and it didn’t play into my favor,” he added. “Overall, it was a really productive weekend and I feel good heading back into USAC action this weekend.”
Robert Ballou would like to thank Suburban Subaru, Deaton’s Waterfront Service, Berks Western Telecom, Inc., Amy Gardner Roofing, Hinchman Indy, Don Ott Racing Engines, Manvel Motorsports, Walker Performance Filtration, Amsoil Inc, Murray’s Body Shop, Konnected Clothing, Hooker Harness, Indy Race Parts, Hoosier Tire, Schoenfeld Headers, Chalk Racing Products, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Saldana Racing Products, Moose Blocks, Inc., and AO Designs, for their support.
ON TAP: Robert Ballou resumes the USAC slate this weekend as the series will be at Bloomington Speedway on Friday night and Tri State Speedway in Haubstadt, IN on Saturday night.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 12, Wins- 1, Top 5’s- 4, Top 10’s- 7

Torgerson Closes April Out with World of Outlaws at Knoxville Raceway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Closing out the month of April with the World of Outlaws over the weekend, Ashton Torgerson had a tough weekend against a very loaded field at Knoxville Raceway.
“It was a tough weekend for us at Knoxville Raceway,” Ashton Torgerson said. “Not only is it a tough track, and you mix that in with an extremely strong field and you have to be perfect each time you hit the track.”
Friday night, the doubleheader weekend came to life and Torgerson timed the Pells Tire Service/Newman’s Racing Engines/Moxzy backed No. 1A in 13th in his qualifying flight.
Putting himself in an early hole, it would be extremely difficult to try and dig out as the Glendale, AZ driver found himself in the fourth row of his heat race. Finishing seventh, Torgerson moved into the night’s B Main, where he took the green flag from the seventh starting position.
Chasing after one of the four transfer positions that were up for grabs, a fast Knoxville Raceway surface made passing even more difficult. Finishing 11th, Torgerson’s night came to an end, and the team turned their attention to Saturday night action.
When Saturday night’s action came to life, Torgerson and the Shark Racing got off to a much better start as he timed in ninth quickest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up fifth in his heat race, Torgerson held the position, which moved him directly into the 25-lap feature event. Taking the green flag from the 17th starting position, Torgerson was able to get his mount moving forward.
Working into 13th on the 4th lap, Torgerson continued to race hard around the famed ½ mile as he took over the 11th spot on the eighth lap. Getting into the Top-10, a late restart changed Torgerson’s night.
With cars getting out of shape when the green flag was displayed, Torgerson found himself tangled up with them which led to a 21st place finish.
“I was happy with how we raced on Saturday, and felt like we had great speed,” he added. “Unfortunately, we just got caught in a bad spot on a restart, which really hurt our result.”
Ashton Torgerson and Shark Racing would like to thank Pells Tire Service, Newman’s Racing Engines, Moxzy, Smith Ti, Triple X Race Co., Factory Kahne Shocks, and AZ HVAC for their support in 2026.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-18, Wins- 0, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-5
ON TAP: Ashton Torgerson and Shark Racing will be in Ohio this weekend as they head to Attica Raceway Park on Friday and Sharon Speedway on Saturday.

Ross Heats Up as Big Month of May Approaches
Abbottstown, PA – April 29, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross looks like he has found his groove. He has delivered two top-tens, including a podium finish in his most recent outing at Lincoln Speedway.
IN A RHYTHM
At BAPS Motor Speedway on April 12th, Ross qualified 5th in his group but then, after heat race issues, had to battle back from the 19th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main. He charged forward 11 spots to earn an 8th-place finish.
“We started well, but put ourselves behind in the heat. My guys kept my head up, and we battled back to a top ten. Nights like that give us a lot of confidence in each other,” Ross said.
One week later, Ross turned in an even better performance at Lincoln Speedway. After qualifying 2nd quickest in his group, he raced from 4th to a runner-up finish in his heat race, then backed it up by advancing from 6th to 3rd in the feature event.
“We went out late for our time in our group and laid down a solid lap. Just had to execute the rest of the night,” Ross commented.
“I am very happy with the consistency. The car is stable and maneuverable. The team is working well together. We just have to keep grinding.”
“It comes down to time trials, and as I said, it lets us put it in our own hands. We seem to be timing well, and I’m happy about that with these big races coming up.”
Ross has six top-ten finishes in nine races this season, including two podium performances. In those six main events, he has passed a total of 28 cars. That kind of speed and consistency will eventually deliver wins.
“Being happy with our speed and consistency, we’re just looking at one race at a time and doing the best we can. We’re having fun right now, and that’s making everything else fall into place,” Ross shared.
“We know tough times will come; it’s just going to be about how we navigate those nights.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Ross’s plans to compete at Bridgeport Motorsports Park last weekend were washed away by rain, so he has now turned his attention to some big races on the horizon.
The Lincoln University, PA-based team will be at Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motorspeedway this weekend to open the month of May. Their third race in five days will come against the World of Outlaws at Lincoln Speedway, and the team may add May 8th at Williams Grove Speedway with the Outlaws to their plans as well.
Tyler is also slated to race the McGough No.669 360 sprint car with the United Racing Club (URC) at Port Royal Speedway on May 16th. The following night, May 17th, he plans to be back in his own No.5 at BAPS Motor Speedway.
The next stop during the busy month of May for Ross will take him to Grandview Speedway to compete with High Limit Racing in his own Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service, Betts Garage No.5.
Fans should follow “Ross Racing 5” on Facebook to keep up
with schedule updates and news throughout Tyler’s season!

Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP
Merrill, MI - With one points-paying race in the books for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP, the season rolls on with a huge doubleheader weekend in Buckeye country, and in the land of the Hoosiers. Limaland Motorsports Park is slated to open the 2026 season with GLSS on Friday, May 1st, while Montpelier Speedway welcomes GLSS alongside the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints on Saturday, May 2nd.
A staple on the GLSS schedule, Limaland Motorsports Park has long played host to 360 Sprint Car racing. Friday’s season opener for the track will be the 22nd contest held at the University of Northwestern Ohio playground. Many of Ohio’s best have GLSS-sanctioned wins at the facility, including Devon Dobie, Jac Nickles, and Randy Hannagan. Other winners include Dustin Daggett, Dylan Westbook, and Tylar Rankin. But, only a select few have multiple GLSS wins at Limaland.
Jared Horstman, who had a chance to go back to victory lane in 2025 as part of his seven-win season, has been held out of the win column at Limaland since winning a pair of events in his championship-winning 2017 season. Nate Dussel is part of the multiple-wins club thanks to his feature wins in June of 2023. Likewise, Creed Kemenah has two GLSS wins at Limaland to his credit from the 2023 season. Luke Griffith also had himself a multi-win season in 2023, grabbing wins in May and July.
Only two drivers can say they’ve won more than two GLSS races at Limaland in their career, though. World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year contender, Kasey Jedrzejek has three feature wins to his credit, the first coming in July of 2024. The LaGrange, Ohio native added his second win Memorial Day Weekend last year, and picked up his third win on July 4th.The all-time GLSS wins leader at Limaland is four-time and defending Series Champion, Max Stambaugh. The Smith Motorsports driver grabbed his first career win in front of his home crowd on May 2nd of 2025, part of a four-win season in Lima and nine overall wins for the year.
On Saturday, the sanction returns to Montpelier Speedway in Montpelier, Indiana for the first time in nearly a decade. In fact, Winged Sprint cars have been absent from Montpelier Speedway since the last Great Lakes Super Sprints’ event in July of 2019. Jared Horstman grabbed the inaugural event on July 29, 2017, as part of an 11 win season for the two-time GLSS Champion. The next two shows, however, went to 2018 GLSS Champion, Dustin Daggett, with wins in July of 2018 and July of 2019.
The Great Lakes Super Sprints take on Montpelier Speedway alongside the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints, who make their Montpelier Speedway debut on Saturday night. Due to cooler forecasted temperatures, racing at Montpelier Speedway is set to begin at 6:00 PM.
As for Friday night at Limaland Motorsports Park, things are still scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM.

Two Big Nights of Racing Roar at Perris Auto Speedway in May!
Perris, California — April 27, 2026 — Mark your calendars!
After a couple of weeks off, Perris Auto Speedway roars back to life with
two action-packed nights of racing set to ignite Riverside County this May
at the famed Southern California speed plant.
It all kicks off on May 16 when the spectacle known as the “Craziest Show on Dirt” — Night of Destruction — comes crashing back into town. One week later, on May 23rd, the thunder returns in a big way as the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars invade Perris alongside the PASSCAR Super Stocks, Street Stocks, and WRA Vintage Cars for the 73rd running of the Salute to Indy.
The May 16 Night of Destruction will feature all five of the wildly popular divisions that keep fans on the edge of their seats: daring Figure 8 races, the unpredictable Figure 8 Trailer Race, mighty Mini Stocks battling it out on the twisty road course, rough-and-tumble Demo Cross, and the always-zany Double Deckers.
As always, Night of Destruction will include the hugely popular free on-track candy giveaway and autograph session with all of the drivers from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m. That makes it the perfect opportunity for kids and families to meet the stars before the smashing and crashing begins.
On the 23rd, the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint
Cars will compete in one of the longest-running sprint car races in the
country — the prestigious Salute to Indy. Dating back to 1948 when Dempsey
Wilson captured the inaugural event, this year’s race marks the 73rd running
and the 29th time it has been contested at Perris Auto Speedway. Oxnard,
California’s Rickey Lewis won the Salute to Indy in 2025.

Mallett Back in Action This Weekend in Alabama and Tennessee
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (April 28, 2026) - Jordon Mallett is excited to tackle a USCS Series doubleheader this weekend.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains will venture to North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala., on Friday followed by a trip to Thunderhill Raceway in Summertown, Tenn., on Saturday.
"With rainouts and some open weekends we had scheduled we haven't been able to race as much so far this season, but it's about to get a lot busier," Mallett said. "I'm looking forward to heading to North Alabama and Thunderhill this weekend."
Mallett has raced at North Alabama Speedway six times in his career, including earlier this season when he battled mechanical woes. His best outing at the track came in 2020 with a third-place result. Mallett has two top fives and five top 10s in his six career starts at the track.
"I feel like we're pretty solid when we race there, but the few times I've been there it can be luck of the draw," he said. "Hopefully we can set the tone early in the night and carry momentum throughout the night and the weekend."
Mallett has one career start at Thunderhill Raceway - an eighth-place result in July 2011.
"I do remember being there," he said. "I remember the pit layout more than the race track. All I know is it's an extremely high-banked place."

Dominic Scelzi Captures Season-Opening Victory for First Time in Career
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (April 28, 2026) – Dominic Scelzi is off to the best start of his racing career through the first three races of the season.
Despite being slowed by a handful of rainouts, Scelzi has made the most of his trio of starts by producing a win and three total top fives.
“I’m thrilled right now,” he said. “We’ve had great speed to start and have improved every night. Starting off the year with a win was great, but to go 10th to fourth in our first 410 night and then to run second the next time out was confidence building.”
The season got underway on March 20 at Watsonville Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., where Scelzi qualified third quickest before he won both a heat race and the main event. It marked the first time in his career that he earned a season-opening victory.
“We led all 30 laps,” he said. “We kind of went uncontested, which was great. At the end of the race we caught lapped cars at an inopportune time, but I was able to make the right decisions. We had the fastest lap of the race and fastest average so I felt we were really efficient.”
Scelzi followed the triumphant performance by charging from 10th to fourth place – tied for the third-most cars passed – on March 28 and by garnering a runner-up result on April 18 at Thunderbowl Raceway during a pair of NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series races.
“I think the season-opening win was a fantastic start and a breath of fresh air to get it off our plate,” he said. “Equally impactful as the win was to follow it up with two solid performances. Right now we have a good package. Even though we haven’t gotten to race much, it’s been good to be solid when we have been able to compete.”
Scelzi Motorsports has recorded a top-seven result during all three NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series races this season with Mitchel Moles placing seventh during the season opener.
“Between Todd Ventura and Brent Ventura and everyone at Roth Motorsports, it’s been a family effort this season,” Scelzi said. “While I’m not running for NARC points, a partnership between Scelzi Motorsports and Roth Motorsports will make sure at least one car is at each race and vie for the owner’s championship.”
Scelzi will be in action this weekend during a NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series doubleheader with races on Friday at Watsonville Speedway and Saturday at Santa Maria Speedway in Santa Maria, Calif.

Placerville Speedway hosts two big nights of Sprint Car racing this weekend
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…One of the most anticipated shows of the season at Placerville Speedway converges this Friday and Saturday, when Berco Building Materials presents the $8,000-to-win “Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend.”
Along with the Hangtown 100 in November, the Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend is one of just two multi-night outings for Winged Sprint Cars this season at Placerville Speedway.
The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout has featured no shortage of excitement over the last several years. The Winged 360 Sprint Car portion this Friday May 1st will hand out $5,000-to-win, while Saturday’s finale on May 2nd dishes out a solid $8,000-to-win.
Sharing the stage each night will be the USCS Non-Winged Sprint Cars, as they make their second consecutive appearance at the event. It is rounds five and six on the season for the Ultimate Sprint Car Series, which features both 410s and 360s.
Winners so far this season in USCS action have included Hollister’s Ryan Bernal on three occasions and Oklahoma driver Brady Bacon, who opened the year with a victory in Las Vegas.
“The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco is an event that we continue to try and build each season,” commented Placerville Speedway Promoter Scott Russell. “I know that we’d like to see it become one of the must attend shows in California. Winged Sprint Cars and the USCS Non-Winged Sprinters should give fans an outstanding show.”
The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Building Materials is entering its eighth edition at the high-banked quarter mile. Previous winners include Cory Eliason, Sean Becker, Rico Abreu, Shane Golobic, Tanner Carrick, Australian Jock Goodyer and Joel Myers Jr., who snagged victory last year on the final corner.
The double header also showcases the rich history of Placerville Speedway like everyone has come to love during Legends Weekend.
Thanks to racing historian Rick Hirst, several vintage cars will be on display for fans to check out. The restored machines will also take some laps on the red clay for old times’ sake.
“We really want to thank Rick for everything he has done to make Legends Weekend what it is,” said Russell. “I know this is scheduled to be his last hoorah when it comes to organizing everything like he has done, so we hope everyone can make it out to show their appreciation and take it all in.”

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Victorious at Knoxville Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (April 27, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel produced one of his best weekends of the season last weekend during the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash at Knoxville Raceway.
Gravel advanced from sixth to second place on Friday before leading all 25 laps on Saturday for his fourth World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series triumph of the season.
“It was a great weekend,” he said. “We were strong every time we hit the track. We qualified very, very well. We were hitting on all cylinders. What we ran in previous years was what we ran this go around and it worked out great.”
Gravel set quick time in his group and won a heat race to advance into the dash both nights.
“Drawing the five (on Friday) wasn’t ideal, but wasn’t that bad,” he said. “We fell back one spot and it ended up being a blessing. I was able to change my whole race from the get-go with a great start in the feature. I got to third pretty fast and then to second. There weren’t any cautions so we dealt with a lot of lapped traffic. In open air we were great, but it felt like we weren’t right in traffic and having to run the top. I wasn’t able to get close enough to make anything happen.”
Gravel gained a position to finish second in the dash on Saturday, earning the outside front row starting position in the main event.
“Jumping to second there was huge because of what they did to the outside of the track,” he said. “It was a benefit to start on the outside. You just hauled the mail around the top. It was no drama with us in the feature as we had a clean race. You could just feel (the rubber in the closing laps) and tell it was coming. Once I felt it big time it was time to move. When I did it was pretty much locked down around the bottom and I was surprised. Luckily I had a sense and guessed right. Sometimes you go too late or too early and this time I got it right.”
Up next is the first trip of the season to Ohio with races this Friday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica during the Kistler Engines Classic and Saturday at Sharon Speedway in Hartford during the Hartford Hustle. Gravel has World of Outlaws wins at Attica Raceway Park in 2017, 2021 and 2024. He captured a World of Outlaws victory at Sharon Speedway in 2024.
“I’m always happy to go to Ohio,” he said. “Attica and Sharon have been pretty solid tracks for us. We’ll go there with an open mind, hopefully unload strong and have a couple of good runs.”
Gravel holds a 70-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the weekend.

SKAGIT SPEEDWAY Star Wars Night
ALGER, Wash. — This Saturday, May 2, Skagit Speedway transforms into a galaxy far, far away. The Force arrives with the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars, Skagit Casino Resort Modifieds, and the Hornet Division. Fans are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite Star Wars costumes for a chance to win prizes, plus photo ops with roaming characters await.
Trey Starks opened the 2026 season on April 25, the same way he ended 2025, in victory lane. Starks built a gap over Jason Solwold in lap traffic and maintained the lead after a caution near halfway. Levi Hillier moved from fourth to second before Solwold reclaimed the spot with three laps left. Colton Heath passed Hillier back late for third. Starks leads the 360 Sprint Cars standings with 121 points, followed by Solwold (118) and Heath (107).
Saturday also marks the start of the 360 Summer Challenge Series. This eight-race competition features four races at each track: Skagit Speedway and Grays Harbor Raceway. Heath won the series last year. Hillier and Levi Kuntz finished second and third. Drivers may drop one race at each track and remain eligible for the top-five point fund. More information is available at SkagitSpeedway.com.
The Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds also opened their season on April 25. The race was highlighted by Tyson Blood’s charge from 10th to victory. Adam Holtrop led early, but Blood used the high side to take over and pull away from Holtrop. Rory Smith and Cole Logan rounded out the top three. Blood leads the standings with 40 points. Smith follows one point back. Logan is two points behind.
The Hornet Division makes its season debut Saturday and the chase for the 2026 track championship begins.

“I am really happy that we were able to get a race in over the weekend, and it’s great that we had a ton of speed and grabbed our first win,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We had a couple of tough nights out taking on the Outlaws and High Limit last week, so this was a great way for us to bounce back.”
Myers Jr came out of the trailer fast on Saturday night as he timed the Velocity Engineering/Installtec Inc./RPM Chassis backed No. 19 in third fastest in qualifying group.
Moving into heat race competition, the Sebastopol, CA driver lined up on the pole and never looked back. When the race went green, Myers Jr was hard on the throttle and jumped into the early lead. Picking up the win, Myers Jr moved into the feature event where he took the green flag from the sixth starting position.
From the outside of the third row, Myers Jr quickly battled inside the Top-5 as the race came to life. Moving into fourth on the 5th circuit, Myers Jr was into third on the seventh lap and then in second by the 10th marker.
Chasing after Nate Dussel who was out to the early lead, Myers Jr was very patient as he chased down the leader.
As Dussel was able to open his lead up in traffic, Myers Jr was able to finally use traffic to his advantage of the 26th lap as he nearly eliminated the near half second lead that was built up.
Pulling up to Dussel’s rear bumper on the 28th lap, Myers Jr was able to power into the lead on the 29th lap, as he led the final two laps and scored his first win of the 2026 season with Hayward Motorsports.

Paul Nienhiser Opens 2026 with Victory in Pevely, MO
PETERSEN MEDIA: Closing his 2025 season out with a win last fall, it was only fitting that Paul Nienhiser opened 2026 in victory lane as he topped a rare 410ci open show at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO on Saturday night.
“We made a last-minute decision to take part in the ‘Open’ 410ci show in Pevely, MO on Saturday night, and it gave us a good chance to shake our new car down before our MOWA and IRA seasons starts,” Paul Nienhiser said. “On top of that, I-55 Raceway is a place I enjoy and haven’t had a chance to race at since 2019.”
Able to sneak in a lone race in the month of April, Nienhiser was pleased with how his AGRI-YIELD/CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc. No. 9x felt in warm-ups, which was a good sign with how he drew for his heat race.
Lining up on the outside of the third row, the Chapin, IL driver showed very little signs of rust during his season debut as he carved his way around the high-banked bullring and earned a second-place finish.
With heat race finishing points and passing points used for the feature event lineup, Nienhiser’s efforts were rewarded as he earned the outside front row for the 25-lap finale.
When the race went green, Nienhiser jumped out to the initial lead as he went to work on a very fast surface that was offered up on this night. With the track extremely fast, lapped traffic came up quick for Nienhiser as he began the lapping process on lap two.
Staying committed to the cushion, Nienhiser was able to navigate slower cars and on occasion, when he had to peel off the cushion to get through traffic, he didn’t miss a beat as he wired the field and scored his first win of the season.
“It was really cool to get a win on our first night out for the year, and it was also our first night with a couple of new partners on the car in AGRI-YIELD and Steve’s Towing,” Nienhiser said. “Great to get a win with some new partners, and excited to welcome them both aboard to my group of amazing partners that continue to support this race team. I am really excited to get our MOWA and IRA seasons kicked off this weekend.”
Nienhiser would like to thank AGRI-YIELD, CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The ID | SP, Bradshaw Custom Pumping, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Steve’s Towing, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer Crop Science, Dekalb/Asgrow, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-1, Wins-1, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-1
ON TAP: Nienhiser will be in action on Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway and on Saturday night at Wilmot Raceway.

KINGSHOTT’S EXCITING AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY
The Krikke Motorsport team is excited by the recent news that their driver, Dayne Kingshott, is getting an opportunity to spread his wings in 410 Sprintcar racing over in America this winter.
Kingshott has been announced as the new driver for the Lunstra Motorsports team that is based out of Brandon in the state of South Dakota and the 36-year-old from Bunbury in Western Australia will begin his campaign later next month. The Dave Lunstra-owned team in 2025 had drivers such as Donny Schatz and most recently Tim Kaeding, who are both past Krikke Motorsport team drivers here in Australia, steer the # 3 Lunstra Motorsports Maxim.
Off the back of yet another successful campaign with Krikke Motorsports, which saw him clinch a third Maddington Toyota Series Title in a row and put in a starring performance during the High Limit International at the Perth Motorplex where he ran second to American star Kyle Larson, Kingshott is excited about getting his first taste of 410 Sprintcar racing in America. Kingshott is no stranger to America, after he competed in Indiana aboard his family-owned Midget to run the Indiana Midget Week Series along with selected other events within the state back in 2016.
Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke is very excited about this wonderful opportunity in America for his team driver.
“The whole Krikke Motorsport team and I are fully supportive of Dayne’s opportunity to go over to the America with such an established team such as Lunstra Motorsports,” he expressed.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time for Dayne and his family, and we wish him all the very best. He always included us in the conversation with the Lunstra Motorsports team possibility when this deal was coming together and he always had our team at the forefront of his mind when making this decision. We all see this opportunity as a great way for him to stay in the seat over the winter here in Australia, hone his skills and help get him to the next level. As always, we are backing him 100% and it should set us up nicely to hit the ground running again for the upcoming 2026-27 season, which is going to be season # 47 for the Krikke Motorsport team.”

Reutzel and RSR score back-to-back top-tens in WoO Knoxville double;
Arrowhead and Texas ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 27, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (April 27, 2026) – On the whole, it was a sound weekend at the Sprint Car Capital of the World for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), translating back-to-back World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts into back-to-back top-ten finishes, highlighting their invasion of Knoxville Raceway with a two-spot jump to sixth on Friday, April 24.
Nearly matching his outcome from night one, Reutzel, a full-time High Limit Racing championship contender aboard the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprinter, raced on to finish eighth in Knoxville’s doubleheader finale, maintaining his place within the top-ten after commencing action from the outside of row three. It should be noted that over 60 entries made the call – a Nationals-like caliber of competitors.
Although Reutzel’s results will not help nor hurt his High Limit Racing title chase, the laps at Knoxville Raceway will prove vital, as the Clute, Texas, native sets aim on a Knoxville Nationals title in mid-August.
“Every lap at Knoxville Raceway is important, and we’ll take all that we can get,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, said. “Aaron [Reutzel] certainly knows his way around Knoxville and he proved that yet again. The weekend attracted the best cars in the country, so there was no better way to judge where we are as a team. We’ll be back soon enough with all eyes on August. But for now, we’ll get our focus back to High Limit.”
ON DECK:
Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing will continue their 2026 Interstate
Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with a one-night visit to Arrowhead
Speedway in Colcord, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, April 28, followed by a Texas
Motor Speedway doubleheader on Thursday and Saturday, April 30 and May 2.

Madsen and Vermeer set to resume High Limit campaign with
trips to Arrowhead and Texas
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 27, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (April 27, 2026) – Despite a tough week in the Midwest that left the team with no additional highlights on the stat sheet, the “Mad Man” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports are more than ready to get back to work, set to resume their 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with a one-night visit to Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, April 28, followed by a Texas Motor Speedway doubleheader on Thursday and Saturday, April 30 and May 2.
Madsen, the ace of Tony Vermeer’s TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors, No. 55 sprint car, will roll into Arrowhead Speedway as a recent High Limit Racing winner, leading every circuit of Lucas Oil Speedway’s 30-lap contest on Saturday, April 18. The Iowa wheelman via Down Under is currently sixth in the High Limit Racing championship, trailing Nevada’s own Tanner Thorson, who’s seeking his first title, by 109 markers.
As expressed, it was a tough, and rather unlucky recent week of competition for Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports, unable to translate starts at Eagle Raceway (High Limit) on April 21 and Knoxville Raceway (World of Outlaws) on August 24-25 into top-ten results. In fact, “nowhere-to-go” situations were the culprit in much of Madsen’s week, the first occurring in Tuesday’s Eagle visit after starting fourth and again in Saturday’s Knoxville start after starting eighth.
“Just one of those weeks, but we’ll shake it off,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, explained. “Hats off to the team. A lot was thrown at us, but everyone kept working and never gave up. We had a lot of speed…a lot more than what our results show. We’ll take the good with the bad and be ready for Arrowhead.”

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (April 27, 2026) – For northwest Ohio sprint car fans, the month of May will commence in a big way. Actually, in the biggest way possible, as the Greatest Show On Dirt is set to invade the home of “Ohio’s Finest Racing” – Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio – on Friday, May 1.
Chris Andrews, a former multi-time Attica Raceway Park track champion, will be in on the action, ready to continue his 2026 campaign by joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in their one-night showcase. Dubbed the Kistler Engines Classic, the $12,000-to-win headliner will prove vital for Andrews’ Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer team, as the Series will return for the $20,000-to-win Brad Doty Classic in mid-July.
Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will roll into Attica fresh off of a Fremont Speedway start on Saturday, April 25. The Sandusky native finished 11th in the Attica/Fremont Championship Series program – his top result of the season thus far.
“It’s a big week ahead and we’re excited about it,” Andrews was quick to note. “We have a little bit of momentum on our side right now and that’s important. The results don’t paint the whole picture, but things are feeling better and better. It all starts with qualifying on Friday…that will set the tone for the entire evening.”

Xavier Doney with big results at Big O; Knoxville a
potential stop for Natalie Doney on May 2
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 27, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (April 27, 2026) – Xavier Doney of Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars put up big numbers in their Friday night visit to Big O Speedway in Ennis, Texas, concluding the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League event with a top-ten outcome, powering ahead six positions to do so. The Odessa, Missouri, native finished sixth officially, padding an impressive POWRi stat book that already includes multiple victories, two accomplished in 2025.
Doney, powered by Kat Excavation, Pella Building Systems-Mini Storage Specialists, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Five Star Bodies, Stanton Racing Engines, CALI Floors, Wilwood Disc Brakes, DMI, Schaeffer’s Oil, Outlaw Wings, Schoenfeld Headers, Smith Titanium, and Design Source Flooring, opened POWRi’s debut at Big O Speedway with the seventh-fastest time of 31 entries, racing on to finish fourth in his respective heat race. Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and DLR teammate, was also in action at Big O Speedway, forced to conclude her Lone Star State invasion in the program’s B-Main.
It was a heat race incident that cost Natalie her evening, taking a tumble due to contact before choosing to retire in the evening’s “B.”
Although DLR and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars are not scheduled to return to action until Kokomo’s High Limit doubleheader on Friday and Saturday, May 8-9, Natalie Doney may resume her seat time sooner, aiming at a potential Knoxville Raceway visit on Saturday, May 2.

Brown ninth in WoO Knoxville doubleheader finale; Set to return May 2
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (April 27, 2026) - “Blackjack” Brian Brown
and Brian Brown Racing put up big numbers in their weekend tussle with the
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, joining the Greatest Show On Dirt in a
two-day invasion of Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and
Saturday, April 24-25.
Two nights resulted in back-to-back A-Main starts for the multi-time Knoxville Raceway track champion and former 360 Knoxville Nationals champion, highlighting the weekend with a ninth-place outcome on Saturday, April 25. In fact, the whole of Saturday’s program was a success story for Brown, launching the event with the fastest qualifying lap, all before winning his respective heat race and finishing third in the evening’s dash.
A case of redemption, as well, Brown opened the two-day slate with a 21st-place score on Friday; he started 20th.
“Overall, a decent weekend at Knoxville Raceway, especially
in our performance on Saturday,” Brown, ace of the Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s
Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps,
Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint
car, said. “We took off in the A, but still a little more out of balance
than I would like. Things were in line there for a while, then all heck
kinda broke loose with sliders and such. It really took away from our
momentum, and at the wrong time. There were a lot of sharks in the water,
and when they saw blood, they were able to capitalize.
“Overall, I’m pretty confident that we had a top-five car all day long, but it just didn't work out for us in the end,” Brown added. “Sometimes it’s like that. Proud of everyone on this Casey’s | FVP team. They worked hard all weekend long, even after having a tough go of things on Friday. The plan is to head back there this Saturday and keep working on things…all eyes on the bigger prize.”

Jace Park caps WoO Knoxville invasion with back-to-back A-Main starts; Knoxville return set for May 2
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (April 27, 2026) - Jace Park’s weekend
at the Sprint Car Capital of the World was productive, as well as memorable,
translating back-to-back World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts - an
event that attracted 60+ entries - into back-to-back A-Main appearances,
highlighting the two-day program with a 13th-place score on Friday, April
24; he started in the exact same position.
Park, backed by Associates Insurance Group, Impact
Signs/Awnings/Wraps, Adki Landscaping, and Financial Life Outfitters,
started 13th in Saturday’s program, as well, but unfortunately, was unable
to match his result from the night prior. The Overland Park, Kansas, native
was scored 25th after retiring with 14 circuits recorded.
Park finished fourth in each of his weekend heat races.
“Overall, a great weekend at Knoxville Raceway. So great to be back…the energy, the fans…you can’t match the atmosphere,” Jace Park was quick to note. “It’s the Sprint Car Capital of the World for a reason and we’re privileged to be in a position to compete there regularly. Qualifying for each of the World of Outlaws features is a big deal and I’m super proud of the entire team - My father, Chase, Brian, Chad, Balls, JB, Zander, Nate. We’ll be back this Saturday with the intention to do even better.”

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (April 27, 2026) - St. Helena, California’s
Rico Abreu is certainly no stranger to the sweeping corners of Knoxville
Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. And although the ace of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian
Racing, Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc
Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 24 sprinter
was unable to match prior outcomes and claim victory, the reigning High
Limit Racing champion did the next best thing and concluded the two-day
Premier Chevy Dealers Clash with a top-five.
In fact, Abreu, who finished fifth in his World of Outlaws
Sprint Car Series top-five appearance on Saturday, April 25, was nearly
perfect to that point, opening preliminary competition with a heat race win,
all before racing on to win the evening’s dash. An unofficial test session
for August’s Knoxville Nationals, the eventual top-five was redemption for
Abreu, as well, as the Californian opened his two-day invasion with a
14th-place score on Friday, April 24.
Prior to Knoxville Raceway, Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing joined Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing in a Midweek Series visit to Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Nevada, on Tuesday, April 21.

Attica Raceway Park's 38th Brad Doty Classic welcomes Callies Performance Products as title sponsor of evening’s World of Outlaws C-Main
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ATTICA, Ohio (April 27, 2026) - The Ohio Logistics Brad Doty
Classic presented by dac® Vitamins and Minerals, now paying an all-time high
$20,000-to-win in 2026, is sure to welcome many of the region’s, as well as
nation’s, finest open wheel aces, all battling the Greatest Show On Dirt for
one of the most storied prizes in sprint car racing. And with a massive
turnout comes a massive program, complete with qualifying time trials, heat
races, dash, and its own version of “alphabet soup” featuring a C-Main,
B-Main, and ultimately, a 40-lap A-Main.
With that being said, Callies Performance Products, a
leading manufacturer of high performance crankshafts, connecting rods, and
camshaft cores since its inception in 1989, has returned to the Brad Doty
Classic in 2026 as the official title sponsor of the evening’s C-Main.
“All of us at Attica Raceway Park are so thankful to have
Callies Performance Products back with us again this year,” Brad Doty said.
“ They have been a great partner for many years, so for them to continue
means so much to all of us with the Brad Doty Classic and Attica Raceway
Park. In return, we will do our best to promote Callies Performance Products
at the highest level.”
Like seasons prior, the 38th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac® Vitamins and Minerals will kick-off a massive Ohio swing for the Greatest Show On Dirt, which will see competition continue with the legendary Kings Royal at the world-famous Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
Carson Macedo, who finished third in the 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series standings, is the defending Brad Doty Classic champion, outdueling fellow California native, Buddy Kofoid, as well as a Hard Charging Donny Schatz - a ten-time World of Outlaws champion.
Like 2025, the Brad Doty Classic winner will be awarded the coveted Brad Doty Classic championship trophy and helmet – all to be awarded in Attica Raceway Park victory lane following the 40-lap contest.

Brent Sexton Set To Make 360 Wing Debut At Watsonville And Merced This Weekend
Lakeside, CA — April 23, 2026 — Sexton Gatlin Racing will
cap off a busy April when Brent Sexton heads north this Friday and Saturday
for a pair of winged 360 sprint car races. The first stop is Friday night at
Watsonville Speedway, followed by a Saturday showdown in the highly
competitive Sprint Car Challenge Tour event at Merced Speedway. The two
nights of racing will mark Brent’s first appearance in a winged 360 car.
Last Saturday, Brent and his youngest son, 21-year-old Grant, made the trek to the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for a date with the third-year Ultimate Sprint Car Series. It was Brent’s fourth race with the series in 2026 and his second at the Thunderbowl this year. In his previous appearance at the popular Central Valley oval, he turned in an impressive performance. After finishing fifth in his heat race, he started 14th in the A Main and charged forward to a strong seventh-place finish. That effort was even more notable considering officials red-flagged the race early due to time constraints, while both the driver and car had more to give.
Unfortunately, things did not go as well for the three-time lightning sprint car champion this time around. A broken shifter cable in qualifying immediately put him behind the eight-ball for the remainder of the night. Unable to start his heat race, he was forced to line up near the back of the field for the main event.
Starting 17th, Sexton advanced one position before his night came to an early end. A sticking throttle created a dangerous situation, prompting him to pull into the infield rather than risk taking a chunk out of the crash wall.
“The throttle was sticking and I was standing on the brakes trying to keep it under control,” he said. “It didn’t end well.”
Grant’s night showed early promise. He qualified fourth fastest in Group #1 with a lap of 16.007, which ranked eighth overall among the 19 cars on hand. He then started fourth and finished second in his heat race. In the main event, he rolled off from seventh and battled inside the top 10 for much of the race until contact from another car on lap 17 forced him to retire early. He was credited with a 15th-place finish.
This weekend’s races will mark the 11th start in April for a Sexton Gatlin Racing driver and car combination.
Earlier this month, Sexton Gatlin Racing was scheduled to compete at both Watsonville and Merced with the non-wing USCS. However, both events were canceled due to rain.
One year ago, Brent made his Watsonville Speedway debut and immediately turned heads. He opened the weekend by qualifying third fastest in his USCS group with a lap of 13.375, which placed him 10th overall in the 19-car field. He then started fourth in his heat race, led much of the distance, and finished second.
Starting seventh in the main event on the Santa Cruz County oval, Sexton quickly found himself in the thick of the action. Working both the high and low lines, he advanced as high as fourth before slipping back to eighth or ninth during the intense battle. Staying composed, he rallied to finish fifth at the checkered flag.
“It was so much fun,” he said at the time. “I loved the track. I am having the time of my life. To finish fifth the first time ever at the track, that is cool. I am happy.”
Spectator gates at Watsonville Speedway will open at 4:30 p.m. for Friday’s race. The track is located at 2601 East Lake Avenue in Watsonville, California (95076). For more information, visit watsonvillespeedway.com.
For Saturday’s event, Merced Speedway is located at 900
Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Merced, California (95341). Additional
information can be found at mercedspeedway.net.

IT'S RACE WEEKEND! POWRi 410’s v ‘INVADERS’ - All Systems GO! BIG O SPEEDWAY APRIL 24-25!
Ennis TX, by DarinShort.com (4/24/26). The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprints National Series and the American Racer Modified Series (ARMS) will put on a pair of season-opening doubleheader events at the Big O Speedway in Ennis Texas starting TONIGHT, April 24 and Saturday April 25 with the running of the Bluebonnet Showdown! A great field of sprint car teams from 10 states are entered.
There are 17 POWRi national touring drivers (listed below) plus an “Invaders Bonus” will be open to all registered sprint car drivers that choose to race at this event that are not part of the POWRi national tour...so in effect, it will create a race within a race.
The ‘Invader’ bonus will be paid nightly, $500 to the highest finishing registered Invading driver – unless that Invading driver wins the A-feature, and then the bonus becomes $1,000 nightly!
Translated, the Friday A-feature pays $5,000 to win, and then it bumps up to $7,000 to win on Saturday. If a registered Invading driver happens to win both nights, they’ll take home a $14,000 weekend haul!
Here was the first and rounds of ‘Invaders’ that have registered to compete in this event: Weston Gorham, Marcus Thomas, Austin Mundie, Carson Bolden, John Carney II, Preston Perlmutter, Christopher Townsend, Claud Estes III, Seth Bergman and Austyn Gossel, Cory Bruns and Charlie Harmon. The ‘Invading’ drivers will be joining the 17 POWRi national tour drivers at this event.
Race fans can expect the following POWRi touring series 410 sprint drivers: Ayrton Gennetten, Joe B Miller, Scotty Milan, Landon Crawley, Blake Hahn, Ryder McCutcheon, Rodney Huband, Miles Paulus, Colton Fisher, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, John Barnard, Roger Crockett, Gage Montgomery, Kameron Key, Jack Potter and Jason Martin. Plus, a strong contingent of local and regional invaders will round out the field. They will all be vying for the $5,000 first place prize on Friday night and $7,000 winner’s share on Saturday night.
Race Day update: Note that Jason Martin (injury, get well soon Jason!) and Claud Estes III (engine) are no longer going to be racing at this event. That makes a total of 27 POWRi 410’s and ‘Invaders’ that are signed up. Additional teams can show without penalty when the gates open today.
Each night features a full points event for both touring series atop the 5/16th mile banked dirt track located just about six miles east of Ennis, TX (which is just south of the DFW Metroplex off of I-45). Limited Modifieds will round out the nightly racing card.
In what will be the opening round of 2026 events for the ground pounding American Racer Modified Series, it will include a large contingent of Series and regional drivers, such as Kale Westover, Sean Gaddis, Kenny Gaddis, Manuel Williams, Joe Duvall, Matthew Day, Cody Duke, Jason Hughes, Jamie Burford, Tyler Davis, Dustin Hyde, Dillon Pike, Chris Henigan, Jason Langford, Chase Hatton, Tyler Wolff and Jason Ingalls.

CRSA OPENS 2026 SEASON SATURDAY AT THUNDER MOUNTAIN
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – April 23, 2026
The 2026 campaign for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints is about to begin.
For the second time in the last three years, CRSA's opening day will take place at Thunder Mountain Speedway. In addition, the series will open up the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.
This is the 19th time the series has visited Center Lisle. Last year, the Smith brothers, Johnny and Mikey, each picked up their first career A-Main victories. In addition, the series has back-to-back stops on Aug. 15 and Sept. 7.
A Look Back at 2025: Last year was a season of two drivers dominating the competition, in then rookie Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock. In 21 features last year, the two combined for 11 victories. Four of those times, they’d go on to finish 1-2. While Paddock had the advantage in wins 6-5, it was Sobotka in his No. 38 piloting his way to a CRSA championship, the first for a rookie in 14 years.
Miniseries champions for Sobotka, Paddock, Jordan Hutton and Bobby Parrow.
Five drivers scored their first career CRSA victory in 2025: Zach Sobotka, Scott Landers, Spencer Burley, Johnny and Mikey Smith.
With two wins last season, Jeff Trombley stands with 16 career wins, standing alone as the all-time winningest CRSA Sprints driver.
Car counts were up again in 2025, averaging around 30.6 cars per show. 48 cars showed up at Weedsport last May, setting a new record for the highest car count in a series race.
Meet the Contenders: Sobotka and Paddock are expected to contend for wins and for the 2026 championship again. Who else are the threats in 2026?
Dalton Herrick bleeds CRSA and plans to run the full tour in 2026. It was a tough season for the No. 29, winless for the first time since 2020 and finished sixth in points. Herrick looks to bounce back for a chance at series win No. 11.
After his first full CRSA season, Timmy Lotz expects to return to full status. “Big Time” continued his improvement from last season, finishing fifth in points and a career-best finish of second at Ransomville last July. With a notebook of places he’s been to, Lotz looks to contend for a victory in 2026.
Jordan Hutton could also return in 2026 with a new paint scheme. “J-Hutt” is coming off a Dandy Miniseries championship, which included a win at Outlaw Speedway in the summer. There’s no question that with his 305 experience, he’ll contend for wins again.
Scott Landers last year is coming off his first career victory in a Twin 20 feature at Woodhull Raceway. The Joe’s Garage No. 33 finished fourth in points with three top fives and 10 top 10s and is looking to return to the podium in 2026.

Storylines to Watch: POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Debut at Big O Speedway
Belleville, IL. (4/22/26) - Everything is bigger in Texas,
and the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League is upping the ante
with adrenaline and action. This weekend, April 24–25, the series makes its
highly anticipated debut at Big O Speedway in Ennis, Texas, for the
"Bluebonnet Showdown."
With $5,000 on the line Friday and a massive $7,000-to-win
finale on Saturday, the stars of the 410-wing world are converging on the
high-banked clay oval to establish dominance in the 2026 championship chase.
The Missouri Outlaws
Missouri has long been a powerhouse for sprint racing, and
the "Show-Me State" is sending its finest. Ayrton Gennetten enters the
weekend as the three-time defending champion and looks to extend that
dominant streak, while Joe B. Miller remains one of the most versatile
drivers in the country. Watch for Gage Montgomery, Miles Paulus, and Xavier
Doney, who have all shown flashes of brilliance within the open-wheel ranks.
The Lone Star Contenders
Texas soil always brings out the best in the local and
regional heavyweights, including the veteran presence of John Carney II, who
knows every inch of Texas dirt. Joining him are fellow Texas-area standouts
like Carson Bolden, Preston Perlmutter, Christopher Townsend, Claud Estes,
Charlie Harmon, Weston Gorham, Marcus Thomas, and Austin Mundie, all of whom
are looking to defend their home turf against the traveling outlaws.
Youth Movement & Rising Stars
The youth movement in 410 racing is in full effect. Landon
Crawley has been an eye-opener, consistently raising the standard against
seasoned veterans. He’ll be joined by Hank Davis, Scotty Milan, and Kameron
Key, all of whom are eager to break through with signature POWRi victories.
Additionally, John Barnard, Colton Fisher, Natalie Doney, and Ryder
McCutcheon continue to climb the ranks, proving that the next generation of
sprint car talent is here and hungry.
Veterans & Long-Haulers
The entry list is bolstered by national-level talent like
Roger Crockett, the first champion of the series, who brings nearly
unmatched experience in 410 competition. Blake Hahn, a former multi-time
champion in various disciplines, brings his elite equipment to Ennis with
eyes on the big Saturday check. Jason Martin, Austyn Gossel, Cory Bruns,
Rodney Huband, Jack Potter, and Seth Bergman—all names synonymous with
sprint car excellence—are also expected to be in the thick of the podium
hunt.
Full Entry List Storylines to Watch:
Elite-17 Entries: Ayrton Gennetten, Joe B. Miller, Scotty
Milan, Landon Crawley, Blake Hahn, Ryder McCutcheon, Rodney Huband, Miles
Paulus, Colton Fisher, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, John Barnard, Roger
Crockett, Gage Montgomery, Kameron Key, Jack Potter, and Jason Martin look
to gain the early-season advantage within the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410
Outlaw Sprint League championship chase.

The same format as in years past will be utilized with group qualifying to set the heat race lineups. Despite being retired for the past 10 years, Ed Lynch, Jr., still sits atop the all-time "410" Sprint Car win list with 50 victories over the retired Dave Blaney, who has 38 wins.

‘Elite Entries’ Assemble as POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League Opens 2026 Season
Belleville, IL. (4/22/26) - The wait is nearly over as the thunder returns with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Sprint League officially launching its 2026 campaign on April 24-25 at Big O Speedway. With the full-time “Elite 17” contingent committed, the season is shaping up to be a relentless run of speed, drama, and adrenaline.
Anchoring the field is Versailles, Missouri’s Ayrton Gennetten, bringing veteran confidence and a proven winning history with a league-leading eleven career victories, as the three-time champion readies his quest in a ‘Tour for Four.’
Maintaining an impressive career, Millersville, Missouri’s Joe B. Miller returns as one of the league’s most reliable front-runners, with seven career wins. He brings calculated offense and clean execution—traits that often translate into podium finishes when it matters most in the chase for a yearly championship.
Doubling up on the excitement, Odessa, Missouri’s Doney-Lawson Racing duo of Xavier Doney and Natalie Doney provides one of the most compelling storylines entering the season. Both drivers have demonstrated speed and resilience, and their parallel pursuit within the same camp adds an extra layer of intensity to the championship battle.
Traveling from Fort Collins, Colorado, Scotty Milan represents one of the tour’s long-haul threats after capturing his first career league victory last season. With experience on varying tracks and surfaces, Milan returns confident for the full-season points battle.
Primed for a potential breakout season, Fredericktown, Missouri’s Gage Montgomery continues to be a consistent driver on the rise to watch closely, with an undeniable ability to run up front against stout fields and a league-leading one hundred twenty-two career positions advanced in feature events.
Resuming his upward career trajectory, Sherman, Illinois talent John Barnard returns to league action as the reigning Rookie of the Year, bringing refreshed youthful strength and mechanical understanding that routinely translates into reliable yearly performances.
Launching into a renewed run of league action in 2026, Lee’s Summit, Missouri’s Jack Potter returns to the Elite 17 roster, bringing a disciplined approach and a hunger to establish himself among the league’s upper ranks.
Generating youthful determination and emerging ability into the Elite 17 lineup, Marshall, Missouri’s Miles Paulus has shown flashes of brilliance on track and will aim to convert known potential into strong front-running finishes in league action.
Returning with heightened fanfare, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s Roger Crockett adds serious firepower to the field as the first-ever league champion, with proven success across multiple national stages while elevating the competitive bar.
Bringing a championship-caliber pedigree into the mix, Blake Hahn, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, rejoins the front-running fray as a constant threat to dominate any given night and will be a significant name to watch in the title conversation.
Combining further depth and championship history to the roster, Liberal, Kansas veteran Jason Martin enters the campaign bringing experience and determination into the championship fight. A proven competitor, Martin captured his first career league victory in 2025 at US 36 Raceway and will look to build on that momentum as he transitions into a full-season pursuit against the division’s top-tier talent.
Raising the league standard while representing a combination of Kiwi Motorsports and McGarry Motorsports throughout the year, Warrensburg, Missouri’s two-time career winner Kameron Key adds another level of interest to the championship chase.
Adding intrigue and prestige to the yearly league action, the Beaver Racing Team will field Benton, Arkansas standout Landon Crawley, a driver on the rise with raw pace and developing racecraft that has been rapidly turning heads across the region. He is expected to quickly become a factor as he continues to refine his approach against ‘Elite 17’ competition.
Entering the Elite 17 picture with the advantage of regional familiarity, Mediapolis, Iowa’s front-runner Colton Fisher knows how to navigate many Midwest venues and could leverage that knowledge into a strong rookie season campaign.
Joining a highly contested Rookie of the Year class while adding a dynamic edge to the field, Ryder McCutcheon, from Alamogordo, New Mexico, brings a youth-filled, adrenaline-driven style that often results in exciting performances with division-winning speed.
Completing a stacked lineup of ‘Elite 17’ competitors, rookie contender Rodney Huband, of Wimberley, Texas, continues a steady progression and commitment to improvement that yields positive results that could prove crucial in season competition.
All 2026 POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League events will be streamed LIVE on Start2Finish. For more information or to purchase an Xpress Pass, visit www.S2FTV.com.

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, Wash. — The 2026 race season is here at Skagit Speedway, and it is set to be another stellar year. The Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Cars kick things off alongside the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds and the Sportsman Sprint Cars.
Trey Starks returns to defend his 360 title after a knockout performance a year ago, winning his second straight 360 track championship. Starks picked up five wins, nine top-five finishes, and 10 top-10s in 11 feature runs. He also won his second straight Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals title and third overall. Jason Solwold rebounded from a 10th-place finish in points in 2024 to finish second, just 84 points behind Starks. Solwold recorded two wins, seven top-five finishes, and 10 top-10s in 11 features. Colton Heath finished third in points with one win, eight top-five finishes, and 10 top-10s in 11 features. Solwold and Jesse Schlotfeldt were the only two drivers besides Starks to record multiple wins in the 360 division last year. Last year's Sportsman Sprint Car track Champion, Steven Hendrickson, will be one to watch as he moves up into a 360 Sprint Car this year.
The track championship is wide open this year in the Skagit Casino Resort Modified division, as two-time and defending champion Jeff Westergard has moved into a Sportsman Sprint Car. Westergard recorded two wins and never finished outside the top 10 last year in eight features. Westergard and Cole Logan were the only two drivers to win twice in 2025; Logan finished fourth in points. Adam Holtrop finished second in points and missed the top five just once last year, when he finished 11th. James Bundy finished third in points with three top-five finishes and seven top-10s in eight features. 2016, 2017, and 2018 Washington Modified Champion Kyler Moore plans to compete at Skagit Speedway this year and will be a name to watch in the chase for the 2026 track champion.
The Sportsman Sprint Car division is shaping up to be another exciting class to watch in 2026, with new faces including Seth Hespe, David Green, and Cruz Kentch, and plenty more! In 2025, the Sportsman Sprint Car points battle came down to the final night, with Steven Hendrickson, Jayden Whitney, and Jesson Jacobson battling for the championship. Hendrickson won by one point over Whitney and 11 points over Jacobson. Hendrickson recorded four wins, eight top-five finishes, and nine top-10s in nine features — one fewer than the other top-three drivers. Whitney and Jacobson recorded two and three wins, respectively, and Whitney missed the top five just once in 10 features – he finished 18th. The Sportsman Sprint Car division once again features seven female drivers: Macie Logsdon, Piper Harless, Keira Erickson, Allison Johnson, Xan Miller, Jailynn Serrano, and Zoey Tupper.

Merced Speedway Clash on the High Banks up next for SCCT this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Merced, CA…Over the last several years Merced Speedway has
positioned itself as one of the more popular dirt tracks in California among
fans and drivers.
This Saturday night the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed
to compete at the bullring for the lone time in 2026 during the “Clash on
the High Banks.”
The always action-packed quarter mile happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout our state. The Merced Speedway is one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno.
“We are excited to host the Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Merced Speedway this Saturday,” commented track GM Doug Lockwood. “We don’t have that many Sprint Car shows in Merced, but when we do, it’s always a special time. It should be an outstanding field of competitors this weekend and it’s your last chance to catch a Winged 360 Sprint Car event here until November, so hopefully everyone can come out and fill these grandstands.”
The www.shopkylelarson.com A-main will hand out
$3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start this Saturday April 25th.
Opening night for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour earlier this
month saw Yuba City’s Landon Brooks flash to his initial SCCT triumph over
Castro Valley’s Jake Andreotti and young Landon Henry from Sacramento.
Brooks and the Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Ent. team look to make it back-to-back at the Clash on the High Banks.
Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi claimed the SCCT event at Merced Speedway last season and was also victorious during the 2023 stop at the track. Scelzi ran second to Corey Day last November during the Winged Sprint Car portion of the “Chase Johnson Classic.”
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour made its Merced debut in 2019, an event claimed by Roseville’s Jodie Robinson, who brought home a fourth-place finish at the SCCT opener.
Clovis driver Dominic Gorden went from 12th to fifth on opening night and was the runner up last season with SCCT in Merced.
More former SCCT winners on the high banks of Merced include Justin Sanders, who secured the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award on opening night, Roseville’s Colby Copeland and Hollister’s Ryan Bernal. This Saturday is the seventh all-time appearance for the tour at Merced Speedway.
Tickets and Details:
Adult tickets for the Clash on the High Banks this Saturday April 25th cost $25, juniors ages 10-16 will be $10, while kids 6-9 will be $5. Ages 5 and under are free. Tickets will be available at the gate on race day.

Landon Brooks Records 13th-Place Finish in Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making a return trip to Tulare, CA on Saturday night with NARC, Landon Brooks was able to take some positives away from a tough night which resulted in a 13th place finish for the Hamilton Racing team.
“The result wasn’t what we wanted, but I really feel like it was a good night for us just building our 410ci package,” Landon Brooks said. “We had better speed than a 13th place finish, but I didn’t time in well and the track was tough to pass on all night.”
With 25 cars in the pit area in Tulare, CA on Saturday night, the Rio Oso, CA driver timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Ent./Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L entry in 15th fastest after going out very early in the qualifying session.
Taking the green flag from the third row in his heat race, Brooks finished sixth, which then placed him 18th on the starting grid for the 30-lap feature event.
When the feature event came to life, Brooks was able to slowly pick up positions as the race clicked off an 18-lap green flag run. With the track staying heavy and fast, passing was tricky for most.
Being extremely patient as he battled in heavy traffic, Brooks spent much of the race in 15th. Working into 14th with just 10 laps to go, Brooks was able to get into 13th on the last lap when things got a little crazy coming to the checkered.
“We just have to keep building week in and week out, and I have the best group behind me to do just that,” Brooks added. “Thanks to Roger and Lori Hamilton, Dave Lippert, Tiner Hirst Ent., and all of our amazing partners for all they do for me and this team.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-6, Wins- 1, Top 5’s- 2, Top 10’s- 3

Chance Grasty Lands on NARC Podium
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to NARC action on Saturday night in Tulare, CA, Chance Grasty had his best outing of the young season as he pocketed a third-place finish with the F&F Racing team.
“Our night started off great with getting a really strong qualifying lap, and that is so big with NARC,” Chance Grasty said. “From there, we raced really well and were in a great position all night long.”
A total of 25 cars packed into the Thunderbowl Raceway pit area, and Grasty flexed his muscle early as he timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Putting him fourth in his heat race, the Suisun City, CA driver moved into third when the green flag was displayed, and though he had a chance to battle for second, he opted to play it safe, and keep his lock-in position for both the Dash and the feature event.
On the strength of his third-place finish, Grasty went on to finish fourth in the Dash, and that put him on the outside of the second row for the 30-lap feature event.
When the race went green, Grasty jumped into third, and on the hooked-up surface, the race settled into an 18-lap non-stop run. With the leaders getting into traffic, Grasty got bottled up behind a slower car and slipped back to fourth just before the race’s first stoppage.
Once the action came back to life, Grasty moved back into third and began to pressure Dominic Scelzi for the runner-up position. A restart with eight to go saw Grasty make a bid for second, but Scelzi was able to counter his attack.
On the final lap, Grasty again made a move for the spot, but he hit the curb wrong and it allowed Scelzi to keep the position as he gathered his car back up and capped the night off with a third-place finish.
“Ultimately, I am really happy with a third-place finish,” Grasty said. “I really want to thank my entire team, and all of our partners for their support and continued hard work.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will head to Merced Speedway this Saturday night.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-6, Wins-0, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-5

Empire Super Sprints Kick Off 2026 Friday at Outlaw
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | This Friday, the Empire Super Sprints are
set to roar to life for the first time in 2026 at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee,
NY. Each season the Cal Lane Memorial is scheduled as the season kick-off
for the tour, although the last several years have fallen victim to mother
nature who has a near-perfect record in the event for its originally
scheduled date.
The $4,220 to-win main event Friday will honor the late Cal Lane. Brother to
six-time ESS Champion Mal Lane, Cal had his own successful career at the
Outlaw Speedway dating back to the 1960’s. Mal will be in attendance on
Friday as well, serving as the Grand Marshall for the event. It is only
fitting that the night paying tribute to Cal features both the track and
organization that his family have such strong ties to.
With a promising forecast thus far for this Friday, all eyes are focused on
defending champion Jordan Poirier as he leads the charge. The now five-time
champion has yet to score a win at Outlaw, but he looks to change that on
Friday as it is the first step towards a sixth series triumph.
The last time the Empire Super Sprints visited Outlaw was in the fall of
last season, when Davie Franek visited victory lane. Franek’s win in the
Hoag Memorial was his third in his last five attempts at Outlaw, a track he
has had much success at in the past. Franek is off to a hot start already in
2026, having won six of nine races and a championship during the USCS Winter
Heat series that took place in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama through
February and early March.
Racing gets underway in Dundee at 7pm on Friday, with pit gates opening at
5pm and grandstands opening at 5:30pm. A pit pass for the night will be $48,
while general grandstand admission is set at $25. For a complete schedule of
events for the night, please visit both the Empire Super Sprints and Outlaw
Speedway social media pages.
For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire
Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com)
and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and
Instagram (@empiresupersprints).
The Empire Super Sprints would like to thank the following series sponsors
for their continued support: Rifenburg Contracting Corp, Hoosier Racing
Tire, E&V Energy, A-Verdi Storage Containers, Elab Smokers Boutique,
Pinnacle Investments, LLC, Wilwood Disc Brakes, FX Caprara, Ashley Lynn
Winery, Slade Shock Technology, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Bicknell Racing
Products, Swagger Factory, PJC Sprayfoam, Donath Motor Worx, Transport
Benoit Lafleur, All Star Performance, Stirling Lubricants, Trenca & Co.
Realty, Speedway Press, Primal Tee, and Glenn Styres Racing.
The ESS Road Ahead:
Friday, April 24 – Outlaw Speedway - Dundee, NY ($4,220 to Win)
Saturday, May 16 – Port Royal Speedway – Port Royal, PA ($4,000 to Win)
Friday, May 22 – Brewerton Speedway – Brewerton, NY ($2,000 to Win Don
Gillette Memorial)
Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Produce Top 10 at Tri-State Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - HAUBSTADT, Ind. (April 20, 2026) - Big Game Motorsports recorded a top-10 result on Sunday to wrap up a wet weekend.
The Hy-Vee Perks 40 hosted by Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., rained out on Friday and inclement weather postponed the Southern Indiana Showdown at Tri-State Speedway from Saturday to Sunday.
"Haubstadt is a place that is one of a kind," said David Gravel, who qualified 18 th quickest. "We hot lapped decent. For whatever reason we didn't really have speed in qualifying. I was definitely bummed about that. With only three heat races you start pretty far back if you don't qualify good."
Gravel gained a position to finish fifth in a heat race.
"There was a lot of dicing and sliding back and forth," he said. "I felt if I had a better first lap I'd have had a better shot at making up more spots. I was pretty close to running fourth, but didn't."
That lined Gravel up on the inside of the eighth row in the main event.
"We started on the inside on the feature, which is where I wanted to be," he said. "The first three laps couldn't have started any better. I was able to get a bunch of guys and into the top 10. It started off great. The first restart it didn't fire off very good. It felt like my right rear tire was low. The car didn't work good until we built some temperature and heat into the tires. I was up to eighth at one time and then fell back to 13th. That was hard to overcome. We had to fight and claw with a lot of good guys and ended up ninth.
"Big picture, we beat the two guys we're racing in points. You just can't qualify that bad and expect a huge result. That's part of racing. We'll move on to the next race."
Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, showcases the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash this Friday and Saturday. Gravel holds a 46-point lead in the championship standings entering the weekend.
"This round the weather is usually colder than when we go there in June," he said. "That's when it's more apples to apples for when you're there in August. They haven't raced on the track this year so it's a wild card weekend for Knoxville, but no matter what getting laps and us seeing where we're at there is a plus."
QUICK RESULTS -
April 19 - Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. - Qualifying: 18; Heat race: 5 (6); Feature: 9 (15).
SEASON STATS -
14 races, 3 wins, 9 top fives, 12 top 10s, 13 top 15s, 13 top 20s

Starks Starting Season Saturday at Skagit; Also Excited to Drive for Chase Johnson Racing Handful of Times Later This Season
Inside Line Promotions - PUYALLUP, Wash. (April 20, 2026) - The 2026 season gets underway this Saturday at Skagit Speedway for Trey Starks, who has captured at least one championship at the track during each of the last four years.
"It's more of the same as the last couple of years," he said. "We have to keep improving. The competition gets better and better every year. That's great for our local scene, but we have to keep constantly stepping our game up. We're trying to find the edge every week not only during the local shows but the big events as well. We plan to run for both track championships again this year."
Starks won both the 410ci and 360ci winged sprint car titles at the track in Burlington, Wash., last season. He's claimed the 410 championship each of the last four years (owner's points only in 2024) and the 360 championship each of the last two years.
Also of note, Starks has been victorious during the first race of the season at Skagit Speedway the last two seasons.
Additionally, Starks is excited for an opportunity to drive for Chase Johnson Racing potentially a handful of times this season. The duo was slated to compete earlier this month during the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., but the event rained out. Starks is hopeful to make his debut with Chase Johnson Racing in July.
"I'm really excited," he said. "Chase and I have been friends for a really long time. I'm excited that they are excited to get back racing."
Starks' first commitment is the Skagit Speedway schedule, but he is eager to tackle races when opportunities arise for both he and Chase Johnson Racing.
"Trey is someone who fits our vision and morals and values, fits the image of the team, who is professional and is a winner behind the wheel," Chase Johnson said. "Trey and I have been friends for a long time. Our careers racing sprint cars started at a similar time. We wanted to find someone who would fit who isn't committed to a full-time deal, which is hard to find. Trey was at the top of the list and I think it's a good fit for everyone."

BERGMAN & GOSSEL JOIN ‘INVADERS’ vs POWRi 410’s; TODAY FINAL BONUS $ REG’N DAY for BIG O SPEEDWAY APRIL 24-25!
Ennis TX, by DarinShort.com (4/20/26). The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprints National Series and the American Racer Modified Series (ARMS) will put on a pair of season-opening doubleheader events at the Big O Speedway in Ennis Texas on April 24-25 with the running of the Bluebonnet Showdown!
And today, Seth Bergman and Austyn Gossel have added their names to the previously released list of ‘Invaders’ who will all be eligible for the special nightly ‘Invaders Bonus’ for the sprint car division...and registration for the bonus ends tonight, Monday night, April 20.
To become a qualified sprint car ‘Invader’ for this event, it’s a very simple process and it’s free: simply email Talin at talin@t2promotions.net with your intent to race in this event by the close of business, today, Monday, April 20th to be eligible. Please submit your driver’s name, car number, address and contact info when emailing Talin. (If you don’t register, you can still compete in the event, you just won’t be eligible for the bonuses...so if you know you are coming, get registered today!)
There are 17 POWRi national touring drivers (listed below) and the Invaders Bonus will be open to all registered sprint car drivers that choose to race at this event that are not part of the POWRi national tour...so in effect, it will create a race within a race.
The ‘Invader’ bonus will be paid nightly, $500 to the highest finishing registered Invading driver – unless that Invading driver wins the A-feature, and then the bonus becomes $1,000 nightly!
Translated, the Friday A-feature pays $5,000 to win, and then it bumps up to $7,000 to win on Saturday. If a registered Invading driver happens to win both nights, they’ll take home a $14,000 weekend haul!
Here was the first round of ‘Invaders’ that were announced last week and have registered to compete in this event: Weston Gorham, Marcus Thomas, Austin Mundie, Carson Bolden, John Carney II, Preston Perlmutter, Christopher Townsend, Claud Estes III and Charlie Harmon. The ‘Invading’ drivers will be joining the 17 POWRi national tour drivers at this event.
Race fans can expect the following POWRi touring series 410 sprint drivers from nine states: Ayrton Gennetten, Joe B Miller, Scotty Milan, Landon Crawley, Blake Hahn, Ryder McCutcheon, Rodney Huband, Miles Paulus, Colton Fisher, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, John Barnard, Roger Crockett, Gage Montgomery, Kameron Key, Jack Potter and Jason Martin. Plus, a strong contingent of local and regional invaders will round out the field. They will all be vying for the $5,000 first place prize on Friday night and $7,000 winner’s share on Saturday night.
Each night will be a full points event for both touring series atop the 5/16th mile banked dirt track located just about six miles east of Ennis, TX (which is just south of the DFW Metroplex off of I-45). Limited Modifieds will round out the nightly racing card.
In what will be the opening round of 2026 events for the ground pounding American Racer Modified Series, it will include a large contingent of Series and regional drivers, such as Kale Westover, Sean Gaddis, Kenny Gaddis, Manuel Williams, Joe Duvall, Matthew Day, Cody Duke, Jason Hughes, Jamie Burford, Tyler Davis, Dustin Hyde, Dillon Pike, Chris Henigan, Jason Langford, Chase Hatton, Tyler Wolff and Jason Ingalls.

Blackjack joins High Limit in Wheatland; WoO Knoxville
double highlights coming agenda
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 20, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (April 20, 2026) – “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing continue to make gains, and although the Grain Valley, Missouri, ace was just short of a top-ten Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, his High Limit Racing appearance was solid from start to finish, eventually capping the 30-lap contest in the 12th position.
Brown, driver of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Services, No. 21 sprint car, started 14th at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks,” earning his way into the big dance via third-place outcome in his respective heat race – he started fifth.
“Overall, a pretty solid night for our Casey’s | FVP team at Lucas Oil Speedway,” Brown mentioned. “At one time, it was one of my better tracks, but as of recently, it’s been one of my worst tracks. We’re going to be there a few more times later this year, so we were excited to get there and turn some laps. We didn’t unload all that great. Made some improvements, but maybe not quite good enough for qualifying. Ended up making the adjustments that I needed for the heat race which helped me get to third. We didn’t make a ton of changes for the A…probably left it alone a little too much. Regardless, a solid night. Helps us to know that we are going in the right direction.
“Pumped to get back to Knoxville Raceway this weekend…like a kid on Christmas morning,” Brown added. “Big weekend in general…Outlaws, plus the locals, plus all of the High Limit invaders. If you’re a sprint car driver anywhere in this region, you’re going to be there, and I’m sure the fans will, too. Looking forward to a great event. Would love nothing more than to be in winning contention the entire weekend.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with a
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series | Knoxville Raceway doubleheader on

The Mad Man leads them all in Wheatland; Eagle Raceway
next

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (April 20, 2026) – For the first time in 2026, and for the first time in his storied career, the “Mad Man” Kerry Madsen is an Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing main event winner, accomplishing said feat at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks” – Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Saturday, April 18. Madsen, the driver of Tony Vermeer’s TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors, No. 55 sprint car, secured his first-ever High Limit triumph from the front row, leading every circuit of the 30-lap contest with the likes of Sye Lynch and Tanner Holmes rounding out the podium.
Impressive enough, with his victory Madsen becomes just the second Australian to win a High Limit Racing main event, James McFadden securing the first. With all results considered, the St. Mary’s, New South Wales wheelman is now sixth in the High Limit Racing championship chase, trailing championship leader and Nevada ace Tanner Thorson by 78 markers.
“Overall, a great evening at Lucas Oil Speedway. Rolling out of the box, we knew we had something special…happy we were able to put it all together and put on a show like that,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports’ Crew Chief, explained. “Tony Vermeer gives us the tools necessary to win and that was obvious on Saturday. All we can do now is get ourselves ready for another big night at Eagle Raceway on Tuesday. ‘Two in a row’ doesn’t sound so bad.”
High Limit Racing was scheduled to compete on two occasions during the recent weekend, but Mother Nature had other plans, ruining all hope for a visit to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, April 17.

Reutzel and RSR gear up for busy week beginning with Eagle visit Tuesday
ByTyler Altmeyer

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (April 20, 2026) – Despite a weather-shortened agenda featuring a single-night visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) are amped up and eager to get back to work, setting their focus west to the land of the Cornhuskers for another one-night program, this time at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Nebraska, on Tuesday, April 21. The Speedway Motors Spring Jackpot – a Roto-Rooter Midweek Series program for High Limit Racing – will not only prove vital in the short term, but also in the long term, as the Series will return to Eagle in June for the Eagle Nationals.
Continuing on, Reutzel, the ace of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, will then pad his week’s plan with a return to the “Sprint Car Capital of the World,” joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in a two-day Knoxville Raceway visit on Friday and Saturday, April 24-25.
As noted, Reutzel will roll into his busy slate fresh off of a visit to Lucas Oil Speedway, finishing 14th on Saturday, April 18. The Clute, Texas, native, who is currently second in the High Limit Racing championship standings, kicked-off his evening at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks” with Group B’s quickest qualifying lap.
“We’re looking forward to a busy week. We had some time off before getting back to work with High Limit at Lucas Oil, but now we’re anxious to build back some momentum,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, said. “Can’t say enough about this team. They never quit, always working to improve. It’s going to be a great week.”
High Limit Racing was scheduled to compete on two occasions during the recent weekend, but Mother Nature had other plans, ruining all hope for a visit to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, April 17.

Andrews makes gains at Attica; AFCS double to cap April
agenda
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 20, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (April 20, 2026) – Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing were on a top-ten trajectory Friday night at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, but unfortunately, bad luck intervened, forcing the Sandusky wheelman to surrender much of what he gained.
Andrews, the ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprinter, started 16th in Attica’s AFCS program on Friday, April 17, climbing his way to a top-ten position in less than a handful of circuits. Despite the fact, it was a stuck bleeder that kept the former Attica champion from making any more progress, eventually fading back to 14th.
“We felt pretty good on Friday night…much better than felt the week prior,” Andrews was quick to note. “Just some bad luck on our end. All we can do is go back and try it again. Hopefully Mother Nature cooperates and allows us to give it a go both nights this weekend.”
Andrews launched his evening at the home of “Ohio’s Finest Racing” with the third-fastest qualifying time; he was fourth in his respective heat.
ON DECK:
Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will continue their 2026 slate with
visits to Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway on Friday and Saturday,

Jace Park rallies big in High Limit start at Lucas Oil; Knoxville

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (April 20, 2026) – Jace Park and Jace Park Racing did their best to put on a show Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, and put on a show is what they did, translating a twelfth row starting position into a near-top-ten performance.
Park, the ace of the Associates Insurance Group, Impact Signs/Awnings/Wraps, Adki Landscaping, Financial Life Outfitters, No. 28 sprinter, finished 13th with the best of High Limit Racing, and with all results considered, Park’s ten-position jump from 23rd was sound enough to solidify the evening’s Hard Charger Award – granted to the driver who advances the most feature positions.
Park proved perseverant in the evening’s B-Main, as well, ending the 12-lapper in third to qualify for the 30-lap headliner.
“A great night, overall. We felt like we improved every time we hit the track,” Park said. “Super proud of this team. They work hard and never back down from a challenge. Super looking forward to getting back to Knoxville Raceway this weekend with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.”

ODESSA, Mo. (April 20, 2026) – Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars battled the best in the business in their Saturday evening visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, and although sibling competitors Xavier Doney and Natalie Doney were unable to rub elbows in the evening’s High Limit Racing 30-lap main event, notes were taken and progress was achieved, already aiming big in an upcoming weekend doubleheader in the Lone Star State.

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (April 20, 2026) – Hailing from The Garden State, Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports have minimal opportunity to battle in their home state of New Jersey, but for the first time in 2026, that situation will change, as the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series will visit Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Swedesboro, New Jersey, on Sunday, April 26. Whittall, certainly no stranger to Bridgeport, is a two-time Dirty Jersey Finale champion at the speed plant, securing a $12,000 payday in his most recent triumph while outperforming the likes of Chase Dietz, Anthony Macri, and Danny Dietrich.
The PA Posse 410 Sprint Series will technically commence action one night prior, headlining competition at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” on Saturday, April 25.

“It was a consistent weekend for our team and consistency is key,” Whittall was quick to note. “Super excited to get back to Bridgeport on Sunday. We’ve had a lot of success there over the years which gives us a ton of momentum heading into the weekend. We’re going to try our best to get one more for our home state fans.”

JONESTOWN, Pa.

Although his destinations are far from finalized, Zearfoss, who calls Jonestown, Pennsylvania, home, has a three-race agenda on his radar, planning to visit either Williams Grove Speedway or Selinsgrove Speedway on Friday, followed by likely visits to Port Royal Speedway and Bridgeport (NJ) Motorsports Park on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The latter two of the three programs will feature the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series.
“Not entirely sure of our plan yet. We had intended on making the trip to Knoxville this weekend, but some outside factors including the weather are keeping us home.

Rico sixth at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks; All in on Eagle
Raceway Tuesday

2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Team Standings: Third | 543 Points (-50)
Date: Saturday, April 18th
Series: Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing
Event: First Visit of 2026
Track: Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Missouri)
Rico Abreu A-Main Finish: 6th (11th)
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (April 20, 2026) – Rico Abreu and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing continued their consistent ways during the recent weekend, this time rallying ahead in their Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Saturday, April 18. Rico, the reigning High Limit Racing champion, finished sixth in his visit to the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks,” climbing ahead five spots from the inside of row six.
High Limit Racing was scheduled to compete on two occasions during the recent weekend, but Mother Nature had other plans, ruining all hope for a visit to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, April 17.
With all results considered, Rico, the pilot of Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Curb Records, Sugarbee Apples, Waste Connections, Arc Zone, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 24 sprinter, now owns seven top-tens on the season, one of which a victory at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Arizona. The High Limit titleholder is currently third in the 2026 championship standings, trailing Series leader and Nevada native Tanner Thorson by 50 markers.
A short turnaround, indeed, Rico and TSR will continue their 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with a midweek visit to the Cornhusker State, taking on Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Nebraska, on Tuesday, April 21. If all goes according to plan, the team will likely join the Outlaws in their two-day invasion of Knoxville Raceway on April 24-25.

Doran Racing’s Swanson Dominates
500 Sprint Car Tour Season Opener
ANDERSON, Ind., April 19 — Doran Racing got its 2026 season off to an extremely successful start when the Lebanon, Ohio-based team’s Kody Swanson led all 100 laps of the 26th annual Glen Niebel Classic Saturday night at Anderson Speedway.
The orange and blue No. 33 asphalt sprint car sponsored by Wilke Orthodontics and Glenn Farms will go down in the history books as the winner of the season opener for the YourBIGPlans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour.
Besides getting the season off to a great start, it was a great tune-up for the series and the track’s biggest race, the 78th annual Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by Ed Martin Automotive Group, which will take place on Anderson’s high-banked quarter-mile oval on Saturday, May 23.
It was the fourth victory in the Glen Niebel Classic for Swanson, a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Brownsburg, Ind. The two-time series champion also won this race, which is presented by CB Fabricating, in 2018, 2021, and 2024.
The event was held under very cold weather conditions.
Swanson topped both practice sessions, but then qualified third behind Dakoda Armstrong and Tyler Roahrig. He was only 0.149 seconds off Armstrong’s fast time with the No. 33, which is powered by a Dan Binks eight-cylinder Chevy engine.
The invert went Swanson’s way, however, and he started on the pole with Armstrong alongside him. Colton Bettis started third, Derek Bischak fourth, Roahrig fifth, and Jackson Macenko sixth.
The race got off to a rocky start when there was a red flag and two yellows in the first 14 laps. The red flew for Armstrong, the defending series champion and the defending race winner. He was second working lap four when his car’s right-front wheel flew off, sending him hard into the outside wall in Turn 4 with three laps down. The wheel cleared the catch fence and landed on the bottom landing in the Turn 4 grandstands, but luckily no fans nor Armstrong were hurt.
Armstrong’s departure but Bischak into second place, which he held until Roahrig passed him on lap 52 enroute to the runner-up honors.
Mario Clouser and Rylan Gray drew the second caution with eight laps down, and Colin Grissom spun on the start/finish line with 14 laps down while running 13th.
From that point on the runs got longer, although there were two other cautions with 76 laps down and 89 laps down, respectively, that could have spelled disaster for the winning effort.
Swanson excelled on the long runs. Bischak was only 0.277 of a second behind Swanson on lap 25, but five laps later Swanson had stretched his advantage to over a second for the first time, and five laps after that he had a 2-second lead. He was over 3 seconds ahead of Bischak by lap 45, and had nearly the same advantage, 2.905 seconds, at the halfway mark.
Swanson was able to increase his lead even more in the second half of the race. He was 4.056 seconds ahead of Roahrig on lap 55, and a full 5 seconds ahead by lap 64. He had a 6.426-second lead by lap 66, which he increased to over 7 seconds by lap 70.
He had a close call six laps later, however. The seventh-place car of Kyle O’Gara developed a problem just as Swanson was about to lap him. Room ran out, Swanson clipped O’Gara’s car slightly, and O’Gara spun in Turn 2 to slow the race for the fourth time. O’Gara retired at that point, and Swanson’s 7.334-second lead disappeared for the restart.
Roahrig threw everything he had at Swanson when the green flew again, but Swanson prevailed. It might have been disheartening to lose such a big lead for a restart, but Swanson said he didn’t realize how far ahead he was since the 500 Sprint Car Tour doesn’t allow the use of spotters.
“I just focused on the task at hand, put my head down, and tried to keep ahead of the pack, because I knew they were all right behind me,” he said afterwards.
His approach paid off. He had a 0.549-second lead on lap 80, and he had increased his advantage to 1.154 seconds by lap 85. He had nearly a 2-second lead (1.904 seconds) when he had another close call, however, with 89 laps down.
The ninth-place car of Chris Schmelzle blew a hose and dropped fluid on the track in Turn 3, which caused Swanson to slip and slide and fight to keep from hitting Schmelzle or the wall. Luckily he was successful. Schmelzle rolled to a stop on the frontstretch and a red was thrown to get a wrecker for his car and to inspect the track for more spilled fluid.
That set up a 10-lap run to the checkered and gave the field, which started with 23 cars and was now down to eight, yet another chance to pass Swanson. His restart was flawless and Roahrig nor anyone else was able to catch him. Swanson had a 2.424-second margin of victory.
Bettis, who started third and was never out of the top five, finished third. Bobby Santos III, who started seventh, broke into the top five for the first time on lap 59 by passing Macenko and placed fourth. Macenko finished fifth. Bischak, who set the second-fastest race lap on lap 12 to Swanson’s fastest race lap of 11.412 seconds on lap eight, placed sixth. There were six cars on the lead lap at the checkered.
“It was great to get the win,” Swanson said afterwards. “Lapped traffic is always tough here, just because it’s a tight track for sprint cars.
“We had a few close moments,” he added. “I just clipped Kyle slightly as he started to lift due to a problem. And I got real lucky when Chris Schmelzle dropped fluid on the track. I used up all the racetrack to not hit him or the wall.
“It’s hard to know how to get the balance right here, especially with a long race and the tire wear and the fuel load. The cold conditions really didn’t affect us; it was racing as usual. I knew there were guys ready to pounce at any moment, so I just focused on the task at hand.
“It’s good to have a good run here, not only to start the season, but also as preparation for the Little 500 in May. I’m grateful for the Doran Racing team and all the people and sponsors who help us get here.”
The event was streamed live on RacingAmerica.tv.

EMMR applauds the NSCHoF for its continued leadership in honoring and advancing the legacy of sprint car racing.”
“We encourage both our previous inductees and current inductees to be a part of not only the induction banquet on Saturday, but our festivities on Friday as well,” says National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum Executive Director, Bob Baker. “We have had a great partnership with EMMR from the beginning, and thank them for joining us in our efforts on Friday, May 29.

Sharon Speedway Takes Step Toward Greater Inclusion as
Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Friend Venue Through Partnership with Willy’s
World
April 15, 2026
(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway is taking a meaningful step
toward accessibility and inclusion by partnering with Willy’s World,
becoming an official Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Friend venue, and
reinforcing its commitment to creating a more supportive environment for all
guests.
Through the Willy’s World Sunflower Friend Grant, Sharon
Speedway staff have completed specialized training to help recognize and
support individuals with hidden disabilities who may benefit from additional
understanding, patience, or assistance during their visit. This may include
offering extra patience at ticketing areas, providing support during
sensory-sensitive moments, or simply recognizing when a guest may need a
little additional understanding.
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a globally recognized
symbol that allows individuals to discreetly indicate they may have a
non-visible disability, including autism, sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or
other conditions. Hidden disabilities affect a significant portion of the
population, many of whom may not be immediately identifiable. By becoming a
Sunflower Friend venue, Sharon Speedway is taking a meaningful step toward
ensuring that every guest feels respected and supported.
While the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program is widely
recognized in airports and major venues around the world, its presence in
motorsports is still emerging. Through Willy’s World, Sharon Speedway is
proud to be among the first local tracks leading the way in creating a more
inclusive race-day experience.
“Creating inclusive spaces where every child and family
feels they belong is at the heart of Willy’s World,” said Tammy Thomas,
Founder of Willy’s World. “For many families, attending events can feel
overwhelming due to sensory challenges or fear of judgment. This partnership
with Sharon Speedway helps change that experience, making it easier for
families to attend, enjoy, and create meaningful memories together.”
As part of this initiative, Sharon Speedway is enhancing
guest support and continuing to prioritize a welcoming, judgment-free
environment for all fans.
“We are proud to partner with Willy’s World to bring this
important initiative to our speedway,” said Dave Willoughby, General Manager
of Sharon Speedway. “Our goal has always been to provide a great experience
for every fan, and this partnership helps ensure that more families in our
community feel comfortable and supported when they attend our events.”
Fans will begin to see this initiative in action on Opening
Night, April 25, 2026, as Sharon Speedway kicks off a new season of racing
with enhanced efforts to support all attendees. Families are also encouraged
to visit the Willy’s World Kids Club, which offers inclusive,
family-friendly activities throughout race nights.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to building a
more inclusive community where every individual, regardless of ability, can
fully enjoy the excitement of race day.

Great Lakes Super Sprints Open Regular Season at Montpelier Speedway Saturday
Montpelier, IN - The time has come for the regular season to unfold in 2026 for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS). After a non-points road trip to Sweetwater, Tennessee, last week, it’s all business this weekend as teams prepare for a return to Montpelier Speedway for the first time since 2019.
The first ever trip to Montpelier Speedway for GLSS came back in 2017 when two-time Tour Champion, Jared Horstman, made his way to victory lane after a nearly perfect night. Horstman set fast time during qualifying earlier in the night, finished second in his Heat Race, and then rolled from the sixth starting spot before going on to collect the win over 2016 Champion, Chase Ridenour. The late Tim Allison was the Hard Charger in this event, moving up 11 spots from 16th to finish fifth.
In 2018, Dustin Daggett challenged Horstman for the glory. Horstman set fast time and again finished second in his heat race, but after pulling the eight pill for the redraw, Daggett had the advantage rolling from the outside of the front row alongside Randy Hannagan. Daggett took the win over Horstman and Hannagan.
Daggett also won the final appearance at Montpelier in 2019 over Jared Horstman. The history between the two drivers is fitting. Both former Great Lakes Super Sprints Tour Champions and both sitting atop the all-time wins list. Horstman leads all drivers with 32 career wins in GLSS competition. Max Stambaugh slid past Daggett on the list after his win at Silver Bullet Speedway on August 9th, with 27 career wins, and Daggett sits third with 26 career wins. The next closest driver to those three is Phil Gressman with 16.
Saturday’s race for the Great Lakes Super Sprints will be just the fourth time the sanction has unloaded at Montpelier Speedway since 2016. The trip marks the first of four scheduled stops in the Hoosier State for 2026, with planned visits at Shadyhill Speedway, Circle City Raceway, and Lawrenceburg Speedway.
Fans will see a treat on Saturday, as teams are still in the midst of a Hoosier Racing Tire burnoff period. Last week, Devon Dobie and Chase Dunham finished one-two at I-75 Raceway on the new American Racer tire that will be mandated after the burnoff period. The performance has many teams working to decide which tire they want to race on for the early-season races.
Pit gates open at 3:00 PM on Saturday at Montpelier Speedway, with General Admission opening at 4:00 PM. Advanced tickets are available at MilkmanPromotions.com.
Lattomus Begins To Shine: Everything Is Starting To Click
York Haven, PA – April 16, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Consistency is a good thing. Consistency allows a team to establish a connection between their actions and the results.
Preston Lattomus has been the definition of consistent so far during the 2026 sprint car season. He has performed well in qualifying and faced similar challenges later in the event most nights.
The Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91 team is working hard to build on that solid foundation to find the key to reaching the next level of performance.
THE RESULTS
Lattomus opened the month of April with a two-race weekend at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways. He achieved a 410 sprint car career first by winning his heat race both nights. He started on the front row in both main events, finishing 9th and 5th.
Over the most recent weekend, Lattomus raced at Port Royal Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, again starting out strong by qualifying 4th quickest in his group both nights and posting 3rd place finishes in his heat race both nights.
Lattomus started 14th and 10th, respectively, in those A-mains and finished 16th in both.
BREAKING IT DOWN
So, what challenges has Lattomus faced in the A-mains that have affected his finishes?
“Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve had plenty of speed in the beginning of the night, with qualifying shows and heat races that have been good enough to put us starting up front in the feature. I think the biggest thing for me in the feature is just racing with the other cars,” Lattomus explained.
The reason for falling short of translating potential into desired results? Sometimes it’s not as simple as ‘missing the setup’.
It’s been said that driving winged 410 sprint cars is like strapping yourself to a rocket and trying to steer it. Making all the right moves and decisions behind the wheel to get the most out of a sprint car is an art that one learns over time through experience.
Lattomus continued. “For me, the racecraft of passing isn’t a big deal, but I need to work on the aero aspects. I need to do a better job of getting my wing speed up on the starts and restarts. I feel like I have lost every position on a restart, and I have to work extra hard to get it back.”
“The car has been very good the last couple of weeks, definitely better than what I have to show for it.”
It takes man and machine working together to get the desired results, and right now, Lattomus says his machine is ready, so he’s working hard to do his part.
Lattomus continued. “Racing more with the better cars helps, and I’m able to do that lately with the car having good speed throughout the night. I know the more I get to race up front, the more accustomed I will get to staying up front, and that’s what I look forward to.”
The Lewes, Delaware driver has proven to be a quick study at every level of racing he has taken on, and to further demonstrate that point, he is doing it again in what Tony Stewart has said are the toughest race cars on the planet to drive, winged 410 sprint cars.
“As far as my progress and development go, I am putting together some great laps every night, and it’s a big positive to have that kind of consistency. Last year, I really didn’t know what I was doing; this year, I understand what I need to do for the car to work to its potential,” Lattomus shared.
“Simply understanding what creates speed has been key for me. Yet, I maintain the mindset of improving each time I hit the track, focusing on different areas, whether it’s hitting my marks or driving the car as it is intended.”
UPCOMING PLANS
Lattomus will compete at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways in Pennsylvania this weekend. The Friday and Saturday shows are PA Posse 410 Sprint Car Series events, with the latter also being the annual Weldon Sterner Memorial.
Fans can keep up with Preston’s schedule, results, team news, and all the latest information at PrestonLattomus.com.
ABOUT PRESTON LATTOMUS
Preston Lattomus is a 19-year-old sprint car driver from Lewes, Delaware. He has rapidly emerged as a promising talent in the racing scene. He began his journey with quarter midgets, securing four USAC National Championships, and transitioned into micro sprints with multiple wins in Pennsylvania. In 2023, Preston made a swift and successful move to the 358 sprint cars, quickly adapting to the challenges and capturing three wins in 2024. In 2025, Lattomus stepped up to winged 410 sprint car racing, and IN 2026, he returns in for his sophomore campaign in the 410 sprint car division at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches’ 91.

Pokorski pinpoints GR8 2026 path
PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 16, 2026 – After getting his first taste of competing as a regular with a regional touring Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car series in 2025, Alex Pokorski is planning a bit of a different course during the upcoming 2026 campaign.
Through a new alliance with the GR8 Team, Pokorski will field his No. 4 car in approximately 15 events in 2026, starting with the IRA at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., on Saturday, May 2.
The team’s tentative 2026 schedule features seven IRA events and one Wilmot Raceway open race. The season is also set to include Pokorski’s foray into national series competition with five NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws and two Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing events on the docket. Additional races may be added as the season progresses.
In his first full-time season of 410 Sprint Car action, the West Bend, Wis. native entered all but two IRA events in 2025, while mixing in six Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing (PDTR) 360 Sprint Car contests.
A year ago, Pokorski posted one podium showing, one top-five, one top-10, five top-15, and eight top-20 A-main finishes in 22 IRA events. He also tallied one B main, heat race, and dash appearance on the way to a 16th-place finish in the final 2025 IRA point standings.
The clear highlight of his 2025 IRA season was a spectacular second-place showing in the Jerry Richert Memorial main event at Cedar Lake Speedway last September.
In his sixth season of 360 Sprint Car action, Pokorski tallied one A-main victory, four podium, four top-five, five top-10, six top-15 showings, and two fast qualifier awards in six PDTR 360 Sprint Car events to place 22nd in the final point standings.
Pokorski’s 360 campaign included his second career Midwest Sprint Car Association A-main victory and first career win at The Plymouth Dirt Track on July 12, which came following a daring last-lap pass.
“Our schedule will be pick and choose this year,” Pokorski said. “It will primarily be IRA events. I’m also excited to try our hand against the High Limit and World of Outlaws series for a few nights.”

Tri City Raceway Park Cancels Second Straight Event Due to Weather
Franklin, PA — For the second consecutive week, Mother Nature is the only winner at Tri City Raceway Park, as persistent rain across the region has forced the cancellation of this week’s racing program.
Heavy rainfall over the past several days has made it difficult to complete critical track preparation and ensure safe racing conditions.
“This was a tough decision, but the right one,” said owners Josh and Kyrsten Shiffer. “We want to race as much as anyone, but we’re not willing to rush the process and compromise the track. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.”
Track officials made the call with as much advance notice as possible to allow teams and fans time to adjust their plans.
Attention now turns to next Friday, when Tri City Raceway Park looks to open its season with 4 Star Racing. The Mini Stocks are also scheduled for their first appearance of the year.
General Manager Jim Dutko is also working to reschedule the postponed Econo Mod Tour event.
“We’re hopeful we can get the Econo Mod Tour back on the schedule later this season,” Dutko said. “Right now, our focus is getting the track ready so we can finally get the season underway.”
Tri City Raceway Park remains optimistic that improved
weather will allow racing to begin as planned.
“We’re ready to get going and let the dirt fly,” the Shiffer's added.
“Hopefully, the third time’s the charm.”
Upcoming Races
April 24 - 4 Star Racing plus Mini Stocks
May 1 - FAST on dirt Sprint Series + 4 Star Racing
May 8 - Late Model Special, Pro Stock, RUSH Sprints & RUSH Stocks
May 15 - 4 Star Racing + Kids Bike Races

Inside Line Promotions - PEVELY, Mo. (April 14, 2026) - It's easy to point to wins at the end of a championship-caliber season, but for two-time and defending World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series champion Big Game Motorsports, a ninth-place result last Friday night was the epitome of a championship performance.
David Gravel kicked off the Federated Auto Parts Spring Classic doubleheader at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park that evening by setting quick time during qualifying. He won a heat race and gained a position to place seventh in the dash.
"We didn't get a good dash draw, but had things go our way early in the feature," he said. "We gained some track position and then lost some track position. (Around the midpoint of the race) I made an aggressive move in turns three and four. We ended up touching tires with someone down the frontstretch. I flipped pretty bad. I thought for sure our night was over. We got the left rear suspension fixed, a couple of wings on there. The boys did a great job to get us back out there. Luckily, there were a bunch of lapped cars and we passed a couple, had a couple people crash or break and ended up ninth.
"The front axle was bent pretty far back in the right front and felt a little weird. I couldn't really run the top of the track. I had to lead it with the right rear. I just ran the bottom and when I had to go to the top I would. It wasn't 100 percent. I was trying to finish ahead of all the cars one lap down. Fortunately we did that and got a couple more. I'm very proud of everybody to salvage a ninth-place finish."
If Gravel wouldn't have been able to restart the race he would have finished 22nd, meaning the team saved 26 points by rebounding the way it did.
The crew worked hard to rebuild the car prior to Saturday's event finale.
"We were able to still use the chassis," Gravel said. "The only thing that stayed the same was my seat, the steering gear and the tail tank."
Gravel qualified second quickest overall and he won a heat race. A runner-up result in the dash lined him up on the outside of the front row for the main event.
"The car felt good and we had a better dash draw," he said. "I was able to get the lead early in the feature. Traffic was brutal. It was like New York City traffic. I saw Buddy (Kofoid) poke his nose. I was too tentative in traffic one lap and tried to run the middle. He was able to get around me. I wish I ran it harder into the corner. That was his opportunity to get around me."
Gravel led Lap 8 through Lap 26 before he ended the race in second - his ninth podium of the season.
"I was happy," he said. "I wanted to win. I was a little banged up and you could easily compound two bad nights in a row. To come back, have a strong run, lead laps and finish second was good."
Next up is the Hy-Vee Perks 40 this Friday at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., followed by the Southern Indiana Showdown on Saturday at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. Gravel enters the weekend leading the World of Outlaws championship standings by 42 points.
"Two wild card tracks, tracks we've had success at," he said. "I'm looking forward to the challenge. We'll take it day by day, lap by lap. We'll try to qualify well and put ourselves in position."

26th Glen Niebel Classic Set to Kick Off 2026 Campaign
The yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour officially kicks off their 2026 season this Saturday, April 18th with the Glen Niebel Classic presented by CB Fabricating at Anderson Speedway. The 26th edition of the Glen Niebel Classic will be the fourth consecutive year that the event begins the 500 Sprint Car Tour schedule. The traditional opening weekend race will serve as a tune up event for the 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by Ed Martin Automotive Group.
The last three Glen Niebel Classic’s at Anderson Speedway have been won by different competitors. Kyle O’Gara won in 2023, Kody Swanson in 2024, and Dakoda Armstrong in 2025. O’Gara is the most recent repeat winner as he also won the event in 2022, before the event moved to the front of the calendar. Swanson’s victory in 2024 as well as Armstrong’s victory in 2025 propelled the drivers into a Championship season, proving that winning a championship, sometimes, is about how you start and how you finish.
A field of 24 cars is currently entered into the 26th Glen Niebel Classic presented by CB Fabricating, with a couple teams potentially joining the field later in the week. A strong field of competitors has been common for this event since moving it to April as teams view the opportunity as a chance to fine tune before the Little 500. The event will see a lot of new faces as a handful of competitors will make their debut with the series. Mike Hathaway from Falson, Colorado, Tyler Fitzpatrick from Columbia City, Indiana, Chris Schmelzle from Colville, Washington, and Mario Clouser from Auburn, Illinois will all be making their first starts in the 500 Sprint Car Tour. They will be joined by qualifying rookies, Colin Grissom, Olivia Shelbo, Rob Keesling, and Tony McVey as drivers with little experience in the series who will be looking to put together a solid Rookie of the Year campaign in 2026.
Fans will see no shortage of experienced competitors for this year’s Glen Niebel Classic as there will be four former winners in the field, as well as an array of experienced drivers. Dakoda Armstrong, Tyler Roahrig, Bobby Santos III, and Kody Swanson have all gone to victory lane in the 26 year old event’s past. All four are championship caliber drivers looking for a hot start to the 2026 season. Travis Welpott will be making his long awaited return to racing after an injury kept him out of the majority of the past two seasons. Other notable drivers entered into the event include but are not limited to: Derek Bischak, Donnie Adams Jr., Jackson Macenko, Colton Bettis, Justin Harper, Rylan Gray, Brian Vaughn, and Brady Allum.
The 26th Running of the Glen Niebel Classic presented by CB Fabricating will not only open the season for the 500 Sprint Car Tour, but will also be the first race of the 2026 season for some of the Anderson Speedway local divisions, as well as the USSA Kenyon Midget Series. The event will be held on Saturday, April 18th and the 500 Sprint Car Tour will be joined by the USSA Kenyon Midget Series, Beaver Contracting Thunder Roadsters, and Vern’s Concrete Late Models. Pit gates will open at 1:00pm, front gates will open at 3:00pm, and racing is set to begin at 6:00pm. The event will be streamed live on Racing America, and pre-sale tickets for the event can be purchased online by clicking HERE.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2026
“Six years ago I was sitting on the couch at home drinking beer and watching footy,” said Dayne Kingshott when talking about a time when he stopped racing his speedcar, which he drove to national championship glory.
At that point he had dreamt of racing a sprintcar again, but thought that opportunity had passed him by.
Fast forward to today and Kingshott is still on a high after officially wrapping up his third successive Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series championship.
Heading into the 2025-26 series final at the Perth Motorplex last Saturday night, Kingshott only needed to take the green in the final feature race of the year to claim the series three-peat.
Not content to just take it easy, he pushed the Krikke Motorsport W2 hard, finishing second to race winner Kaiden Manders and stamping his authority on another big season and championship.
“We knew the deal was done if we just turned up,” Kingshott said.
But being a true racer, he wanted to win and he also wanted to see if he could add another accolade, a Maddington Toyota Triple Crown mini-series win to the long list of achievements.
Unfortunately a second meant Manders was able to take the three-round series win, seeing Kingshott settling for second overall, but there was still plenty to be proud of.
“It’s super cool….a massive effort from my guys to turn up for the 40 nights I think we did this year and have a good racecar for nearly every single night,” Kingshott said.
“It is probably the most consistent season we have had and we picked off some wins as well.
“To be sitting here as a three time champion….I still pinch myself to roll up and see my name on the Krikke Motorsport hotrod.”
Kingshott said winning another championship meant he was able to repay the faith to the Krikke family and the entire team for the efforts they put in to consistently present one of the best cars on the track, no matter the location around Australia.
“I am stoked to be able to do that for them and have my name etched in this series with this team behind me.”
Kingshott claimed the series with 3286 points, 122 clear of two-time series champion Callum Williamson on 3164 and Manders on 3146.
On his way to championship glory, Kingshott had six feature race wins in the series and of the 23 rounds contested, he was in the top 10 on all but one of those races.
The KMS pilot claimed an impressive 16 top fives.
He will be officially presented with his series trophy at the series awards night, at Frasers, Perth, on Saturday, May 23.
Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series points: Dayne Kingshott 3286, Callum Williamson 3164, Kaiden Manders 3146, Daniel Harding 3064, Jason Kendrick 2938, Taylor Milling 2930, Kris Coyle 2924, Jason Pryde 2558, Jaydee Dack 2542, Brad Maiolo 2512, Jack Williamson 2496, Kodi Clayden 2452, Mikey Green 2240, Chad Pittard 2190, Harrison Peet 2134, Ryan Lancaster 1888, Aaron Chircop 1808, Myles Bolger 1786, Cameron McKenzie 1728, James McFadden 1612, Justin Whittall 1572, AJ Nash 1536, Aaron Reutzel 1532, Michael Keen 1480, Kerry Madsen 1478, Jye McKenzie 1442, Andrew Priolo 1438, James Inglis 1396, Luke Oldfield 1276, Craig Bottrell 1162, Brooke Newson 1114, Cole Macedo 1020, Brock Zearfoss 1014, Jock Goodyer 984, Carson Macedo 938, Matthew Cross 848, Tim King 774, Chris Harrison 758, Jake Robinson 630, Daniel Keen 622, Declan Minchin 616, Corey Day 596, Ryan Newton 566, Ryan Farrell 562, Lachlan McHugh 510, Jy Corbet 498, Randy Morgan 460, Matt Egel 456, Michael Kofoid 450, Brad Sweet 440, Brodie Davis 404, Rico Abreu 402, Marcus Dumesny 402, Cody Nash 364, Tom Callaghan 358, Brodie Kostecki 358, Xavier Doney 350, Mick Saller 346, Kyle Larson 300, Luke Dillon 292, Joe Latham 276, Glen Sutherland 254, Tom Hooper 254, Trent Pigdon 152.
Arenz aims to fire up 2026 campaign
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 15, 2026 – On the heels of a breakthrough campaign that garnered national headlines, Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls, Wis. is ready to take his show on the road for another season of 410 Sprint Car competition at dirt tracks throughout the Upper Midwest region.
The Travis Arenz Motorsports Team is preparing to push off the 2026 campaign with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association season opener at Maquoketa Speedway in Maquoketa, Iowa, this Saturday, April 18.
Arenz’s big 2025 season was highlighted by an improbable upset victory in the High Limit Racing Rayce Rudeen Foundation main event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., on Thursday, June 5, which netted him a $26,000 payday and the added acclaim that comes with scoring a national tour win.
The two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion also tallied a pair of victories in 2025 IRA competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track on May 17 and 141 Speedway on Sept. 13.
Despite missing three races, Arenz finished the 2025 campaign eighth in the final IRA point standings.
Arenz, who has amassed a total of 74 career main event victories to date, capped the 2025 campaign with three A-main victories, five podium showings, nine top-five results, 14 top-10 finishes, six heat race victories, 13 dash appearances, three dash victories, and one fast qualifier award in 24 completed events.
“We are looking at doing 80 percent of the IRA races,” Arenz said. “We also plan on running with the [World of] Outlaws a few times and maybe some MOWA [Midwest Open Wheel Association] shows as well.
“I don’t have a set schedule this year,” he said. “I’m just going week to week. Right now, I’m planning on around 30 races.”
Additional information about the Travis Arenz Motorsports team can be found on the team’s Facebook and X (Twitter) pages.
The 2026 Travis Arenz Motorsports sponsorship partners include Service One Transportation Inc., Don and Lynn Kiel, Professional Plating Inc., Pfeffer Trucking, Oostburg Concrete, Wittkopf Family Funeral Homes, Carbliss, Pallet Works, Oostburg State Bank, Sonntag Plumbing, Jensen Sales and Service, Fastenal, Roth’s Auto Restoration, Lake Auto Glass, Arenz Auto Detailing, Hair Fellers Barbershop, and Duehring Tax Service.
Travis Arenz Motorsports Sponsor Showcase – Don and Lynn Kiel
Don and Lynn Kiel’s first date was at a race at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., in June 1998, and they have been together ever since, marrying on Feb. 14, 2005. Lynn spent her working career in the banking industry, retiring in 2017 after 39 years as an assistant vice president at a local Manitowoc bank.
Lynn's interest in racing started when she attended the races at the 141 Speedway as a child with her dad, Andy Endries. RIP ANDY!
Don's interest in racing started when he bought Dean Divine's Modified in the early 1970s. Don's driving experience involved Modifieds and Mini Sprints, as well as 360 Sprint Cars at Manitowoc Expo Speedway in 2011 and 2012.
Don spent four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting the night of his graduation party. He was honorably discharged after four years in 1967 as an Airman First Class. Don was a Minuteman Missile electrician serving as team chief his last year and got to take part in the test firing of four Minuteman Missiles at Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc, Calif. Don was based at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. for 41 months.
Don started flying in Cheyenne at the age of 19, secured his first flying job three days after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force at age 22, and retired at age 60. He retired as Senior Captain on the 300-passenger Airbus A330-300 flying to London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. He has logged over 30,000 hours of flying time with a lot of stories to tell.
For a glimpse of Don's career, Google Don Kiel Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame. For a view of his favorite aircraft that he owned for four years, check out the Warbird Takeoff by looking up Beech 18 Takeoff Great Radial Engine Sound on YouTube. Click on the 32-second video. Don and Lynn continue to fly his 1952 Cessna 170B, both on wheels and skis in the winter.
Don loves to say, “It's pretty cool when your vocation and avocation are one and the same!”
“We started out sponsoring Travis Arenz by buying him a set of rear tires five years ago, and the rest is history,” Don Kiel said. “Travis is a very talented racer, from the tiniest detail to the actual racing. I love to watch Travis feel the track out and then work his magic. I sponsor Travis as I feel he is one of the best!”

MUST SEE RACING AND SOUTHERN SPRINTS ANNOUNCE CO-SANCTION
April 14, 2026 – Indianapolis, Indiana – The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com officially announced today that their season opening weekend will be a co-sanction partnership with the BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series.
The weekend will kick off on Friday May 8 when both series visit Anderson Motor Speedway in Anderson, South Carolina. The following evening will see both series visit Cordele Motor Speedway in Cordele, Georgia. There will be an open practice at Anderson Motor Speedway on Thursday night May 7.
The co-sanctioned events will be a special promotional sanction for the Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series, and no points will be awarded. Both events will be full points paying events for the Must See Racing Sprint Series.
This will not be the first time the pair have worked together. Both series worked together last fall when they co-sanctioned events at Pensacola, Florida and Montgomery, Alabama. They co-sanctioned yet another event at Inverness, Florida in 2024.
“Co-sanctioning together helps us grow our relationship and better’s pavement sprint car racing” Commented SSSS Series Manager Rick Day. ”We worked together on the Children’s Dream Fund 50 in 2024, and I think it was successful. So, we’re gonna try and work with the new partners and see what we can build towards the future.’
Longtime MSR official Tony Roberts recently purchased MSR from Jim Hanks late last month. He now is tasked with guiding the highly successful 410-winged pavement sprint car series into the future.
“I wanna show everybody my willingness to work with other groups that have cars just like ours” explained Roberts. “I think it’s vital for the sport. If we have a good turnout, and continued cooperation, I think we’ll look at working together more in the future.”
Officials from both series will work together to tech the cars and run the program each night. It will be run under MSR rules. There will be several 360 bonuses up for grabs each night that will be announced in the coming days.
Both series officials also announced that they have extended
their disciplinary agreement that was originally announced in 2024. If you
are fined or disciplined in one series, the other series will honor the
penalty until it is lifted.

Dover and Estenson Splitting Driving Duties for Tim Estenson Motorsports
Inside Line Promotions - SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (April 13, 2026) - Jack Dover and Tim Estenson will share time behind the wheel for Tim Estenson Motorsports this season.
Dover is aiming for a 20-race schedule mostly made up of running for his second straight Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series championship. His first start of the season is scheduled for May 17 at Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D., during the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
"My first goal is try to keep the winning streak alive," said Dover, who holds a 21-year winning streak. "I think I've had a win every year since the beginning of my career. We want to race smart, clean and not tear stuff up. We want to run our best and hopefully that leads to multiple wins. Going back to back on championships is on our radar. If we can race smart and clean and have decent results, I think we'll be a contender."
Estenson's plan is approximately 30-to-35 races with a true outlaw schedule of chasing the best races around the Midwest.
"A big part of it is trying to get back to the basics," he said. "We'll see if me sitting out a year has been beneficial when I get back behind the wheel. I think I can speak a lot more regarding feedback after sitting back and watching Jack race last year. Even that one race I got to race last year I felt a lot different, could feel a lot more than before so I think it was pretty beneficial.
"My focus is just to be consistent and build on that. No DNFs would be huge. Obviously I'd like to get five wins, but I'd really like to try to build on consistency and the wins will come from that."
Estenson's first scheduled race is May 30 at Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb. He and Dover are both planning to race that night during a Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series event.

Mallett Returning to Riverside International Speedway This Saturday
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (April 13, 2026) – Jordon Mallett is hoping to wear a crown this Saturday when he invades Riverside International Speedway for the King of the Ditch.
A $5,000 payday is on the line at the dirt oval in West Memphis, Ark., where Mallett has five career winged sprint car triumphs.
“It’s nice to be close to home and run for a good purse,” he said. “More than that, I’m just ready to get more laps in and try to work on our program and notebook.”
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains recorded a pair of runner-up results at the track when they teamed up at the end of the 2024 season.
“I’m ready to get back there,” Mallett said. “It’s a place I’ve always liked going to and I feel like we’re normally pretty good there. I think it’s the perfect opportunity to hopefully get this season going in the direction of the expectations we have.”
Saturday’s race will be the first in more than a month for the team, which last competed on March 13 at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala. A DNF in the heat race because of mechanical woes left the team unable to start the main event.
“We changed motors and were ready to race the next night if it didn’t get rained out, but Mother Nature won,” Mallett said. “We’re hoping we can get this bad luck we’ve had to start the season behind us. Everyone is giving 110 percent, but we’ve had a string of bad luck we haven’t been able to get rid of yet. It’s just circumstances outside of all of our control. We’ve got speed and everything we need. We just need a little luck on our side so we can compete in races.”
QUICK RESULTS –
March 13 – North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala. – Heat race: 5 (3); Feature: 18 (18).
SEASON STATS –
5 races, 0 wins, 1 top five, 2 top 10s, 2 top 15s, 5 top 20s

Brown solid in two-day I-55 appearance; Lakeside and
Knoxville to highlight coming weekend
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 13, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (April 13, 2026) – In all, it was a sound weekend south of St. Louis for Grain Valley, Missouri’s Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing, taking their efforts to the highbanks of I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Missouri, on Friday and Saturday, April 10-11. Although missing the top-ten in each of his World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series appearances, concluding action with 14th and 12th-place performances, respectively, obvious gains were met, slowly building momentum while regaining confidence in his wrist.
“Overall, a decent weekend at I-55. We’ve been good there in the past, and we’ve been bad there in the past. Our goal was to go in there and have a few solid nights and I think we did that,” Brian Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, said. “Things fired off pretty decently on Friday. We tried to work on our car to make things a little bit better than we were in the heat race, but I think we may have made things a little worse. On Saturday, we unloaded a little bit slower than we were on Friday, but driving from sixth to fourth in the heat was big for us. In the ‘A’ we were battling all over the running order, fading as far back as 20th and driving ahead as far forward as tenth. Ended up 12th, but we were able to assemble some great notes for when we go back to Pevely, or even to a track similar like Huset’s.”
From one national touring series to another, Brown, a multi-time Knoxville Raceway Track Champion, will now turn his attention toward Kansas City, set to rejoin High Limit Racing in a Friday night stop at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, April 17. Adding to the weekend’s excitement, Brown will visit Knoxville Raceway on Saturday, April 18, helping the facility open its gates for the first time in 2026.
“Looking forward to hitting the reset button a little bit,” Brown added. “Ready to get back to some tracks we are more familiar with and comfortable with. The plan is to visit Lakeside with High Limit on Friday before making our return to Knoxville on Saturday. Anytime you can get back ‘home’ and race in front of your friends, family and partners is special. Really proud of this entire team right now…Chad, JB, Devin…they’e working their butts off while maintaining a great attitude. Our results may not show it, but I feel like we’re getting much closer to where we need to be. Me being off for six months due to my hand doesn’t help. Tires change, tracks change…just trying to catch back up to these guys. My hand is getting better by the day, not 100% yet but we’re getting there. A little home cooking this weekend may be just what I need.”

Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with

Andrews to continue April slate with visits to Attica and Fremont
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (April 13, 2026) – It was a tough start to the season for Sandusky’s Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing, and although the Real American Beer team was unable to qualify for Attica Raceway Park’s Spring Nationals main event featuring the All Star Circuit of Champion on Saturday, April 11, notes were taken and minds have reset, already aiming big in an Attica/Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) weekend double at Attica and Fremont Speedway on April 17-18.
Andrews, the ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprint car, concluded his Spring Nationals effort in the late afternoon B-Main, unable to grip its slick, daytime-conditioned surface. Despite the fact, the season has commenced for the former Attica Raceway Park champion, something the team has waited on for weeks on end.
“Not the start we wanted, but it feels good to get the season rolling. Mother Nature hasn’t been too kind to us in northwest Ohio, but it looks like that’s finally changed,” Andrews said. “To be honest, the late start to the year gave us some extra prep time. The team works hard and I’m proud of their efforts. We’ll work for redemption beginning Friday.”
ON DECK: Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will continue their 2026 slate with visits to Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway on Friday and Saturday, April 17-18. Each event will award Attica/Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) points.

Vermeer Motorsports’ High Limit schedule to continue Friday at Lakeside Speedway
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (April 13, 2026) – Although its early April campaign featured a two-week break, the first of the two coinciding with the Easter holiday, it’s time to go back to work, as the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing schedule is set to resume Friday and Saturday, April 17-18, with visits to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, respectively.
Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports, full-time travelers with the nation’s finest “high rollers,” kept active in the two-week break, spending their most recent weekend with Pennsylvania’s best in a three-race sweep at Selinsgrove Speedway, Port Royal Speedway, and BAPS Motor Speedway on April 10-12. The opportunity proved vital, and despite not padding the stat book, the events allowed Vermeer Motorsports the chance to fine tune and test, already prepping for an upcoming High Limit Racing invasion of Pennsylvania Posse Country over Memorial Day weekend.
Madsen’s recent weekend in the Keystone State was highlighted by a 13th-place score at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, April 11; he started in the exact same position. The “Madman” is currently sixth in the High Limit Racing national standings heading into their visit to Kansas City.
“It was good to get out and turn some laps in Pennsylvania. We’re always working to improve, and with our shop right down the road in Mifflintown, it’s important that we take advantage of a healthy Pennsylvania scene and get out and compete,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, explained. “We had some things go our way, and some other things not. But we’ll take the good with the bad…ready to get back to the High Limit schedule Friday.”
ON DECK: Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will continue their 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with a Kansas and Missouri doubleheader. Action will commence Friday, April 17, at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, followed by a trip to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Saturday, April 18.

KRIKKE MOTORSPORT’S SERIES THREE-PEAT
It was another season and another Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series crown for Dayne Kingshott and the Krikke Motorsport team, after the Bunbury, Western Australia-based duo claimed a second place finish during last Saturday night’s Grand Final at the Perth Motorplex that helped them secure a third Maddington Toyota Series victory in a row.
The WA # 2 Mobil 1 / Bunbury Toyota supported Maxim racer became only the third driver ever to claim a Maddington Toyota Series three-peat, which saw him join Jamie Maiolo and Jason Kendrick, and it came off the back of his most consistent campaign ever that included a total of six wins during 23 hard-fought rounds.
“To win one Maddington Toyota Series was a thrill but to do it three times in a row is something really special for the Krikke Motorsport team and I,” expressed the 36-year-old from Bunbury, who has now completed his sixth season as the Krikke Motorsport team driver.
“The team and I set quite a high bar each and every season, so to be able to step up to that plate and score six round wins on our way to a third Maddington Toyota Series crown is testament to all of the continued hard work from every single person involved with the Krikke Motorsport team, and I can’t thank them all enough for their wonderful support in helping make all of this happen.”
Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke was equally as thrilled as the team’s driver to clinch a Maddington Toyota Series three-peat.
‘I’m rapt to finally get to the end of the season in such good shape and close the Maddington Toyota Series out, as it’s been a long season and we’ve been racing for eight months now and ran a total of 39 nights of racing,” he said.
“I feel like it’s been a breakout season for Dayne, and the results are a credit to not only his and Matt’s (Cochrane) hard work but the whole team, and I’m very proud of all the boys for their commitment and hard work all season long. The level of competition this season increased for sure, so to come out on top in the Maddington Toyota Series and pick up two wins on the road interstate is very satisfying, which makes me extremely pleased with what we have achieved this season.”
With the off season now here, Dayne and the team are going to work hard during the winter months to prepare for a bigger and better 2026-27 season campaign.

Seelman Family Announces Amicable Parting Of Ways With Must See Racing
NEWTON, N.C. (April 12, 2026) – After tenures of more than a decade with the Must See Racing Sprint Car Series, longtime competition director Brent Seelman and veteran announcer Jacob Seelman have jointly confirmed they will not return to the winged asphalt sprint car tour for its 2026 campaign.
The elder Seelman first joined Must See Racing in 2012 as a pit steward before ascending into the control tower two years later, while the younger Seelman was tabbed as the sanctioning body’s at-track public address voice in 2015 and later added television commentary and media relations to his duties.
“First, we’d like to say a thank you to Jim and Nancy Hanks for the trust they placed in both of us to perform our roles at the highest level for a majority of Must See Racing’s existence,” the Seelmans said in a Sunday-afternoon statement. “It’s been an honor to be part of growing pavement sprint car racing in a premier fashion for well over a decade, and to see where the series has gotten to since we came aboard has been something special to witness and to be a small part of.
“Unfortunately, following the sale of the sanctioning body to its new ownership, circumstances outside of both parties’ control prevented negotiations for our continued involvement from being successfully completed. As such, we will be unable to continue in our respective roles at this time. We want to thank Must See Racing’s drivers, as well as their families, crews, and friends, for providing top-tier competition and valued friendships over the years to us and to our family and wish them nothing but success in their endeavors going forward.
“We have nothing but respect for everyone involved and wish Tony Roberts and his staff all the best for a successful 2026 Must See Racing season. When one door closes, another one often opens in response.”
Although the Seelmans are saddened by this turn of events, they are available for and actively seeking similar roles in the motorsports industry for the future.
Any track or touring series in the Southeastern or Midwest United States with interest in hiring a professional race official or announcer is invited to contact the Seelmans via the email addresses below:

Zach Newlin Set for Double Duty in Newlin Racing 410 and
Mansberger 358 in 2026
Millerstown, PA – April 9, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Zach Newlin is poised for a busy 2026 racing season, a welcome change compared to the limited seat time last season.
The Millerstown, PA driver will take on the continued challenge of building the family-owned 410 winged sprint car program, plus he will return to the 358 sprint car division for numerous races.
RETURN OF THE 21M
We have more to tell you about the plans for the Newlin Racing 11z this season, but first, we want to share some good news.
The Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car team will return for 2026 with Newlin at the wheel.
Newlin wheeled the car for four seasons for the late Dan Mansberger from 2021-2024, including returning the team to victory lane at Williams Grove Speedway in 2023.
After a little over a year on the sidelines, Dan’s son, Nathan Mansberger, is continuing the family tradition.
“Realistically, the 21m is my chance of winning races this year, so I’m definitely ready to get back to being competitive in that car,” Newlin commented.
The team will compete at Williams Grove Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway this season.
410 UPDATE
Not long after Newlin’s 2025 season ended prematurely with a bent frame, he acquired another RPM Chassis with help from supporter Butler Hill Maple Farm and began building a new car. That project was completed last week after the refreshed motor was dropped between the frame rails, and the fresh wrap was applied.
While Newlin is known for sporting a specific shade of green on many of his cars over the years, he has also strayed from that with white and black cars. This year’s car leverages that ‘Zach Daddy Green’ in a whole new way.
Newlin’s son, Caleb, designed this year’s car. He came up with a beautiful, eye-catching scheme that transitions from white to orange to green from front to back.
“I thought Caleb’s design was super cool. Who else gets to race a car their kid designed?” an excited Newlin shared.
“We are building this 410 program, but we know it’s going to take time. We are going to go out and try our hardest with the hand we are dealt.”
Newlin plans to compete in 20-25 races at Port Royal, BAPS, Selinsgrove, and Path Valley Speedways in Central PA.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Winged 410 sprint car racing is an expensive venture and requires a lot of support. Newlin Racing is fortunate to have dedicated partners who have enabled it to continue building its program.
Returning as Newlin Racing’s primary partner for the 2026 season is Butler Hill Maple Farm. The Knoxville, PA-based business offers high-quality maple products, including syrup, infused syrups, and sweet treats, all handcrafted by 31-year U.S. Army veteran Corrie Bacon.

Sprint cars will be qualifying during their hot laps and racing under the FAST on Dirt format and rules. Competing cars must be on 4 corner Hoosier Racing Tires. The right rear must be a D15A, H15 or Medium. Left rears must be D12A or H12. Wings must be flat top with maximum 2" wickerbill. Some important information for teams for the events at Ohio Valley in 2026 are as follows. All push vehicles (ATV's, Quads, Golf Carts etc) must be covered with liability insurance. From what we have found out, this is very inexpensive and in some cases, multi-line discounts actually lowered teams' insurance costs for their other vehicles. As a bonus, you would be covered everyhwere all year long. In addition, due to the fact that the FAST/BOSS owner can not be at all of the Ohio Valley races, the race track will be handling its own payout. Therefore, a track $25 registration fee will be in effect, but covers you for all Ohio Valley races this season. There is NO membership fee or entry fee on behalf of Gladiator. We will be there Friday night with tires, fuel and transponders available. Pit passes will be $40. Here's the payout for Friday's show thanks to some help from an anonymous donor: 2000, 1000, 700, 600, 500, 400, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300. Don't forget - FAST On Dirt $4,000 to win / 400 to start event at Atomic Speedway the next night! Gladiator cars are encouraged to attend!
HOMETOWN WELCOME: Vermeer Motorsports to welcome Selinsgrove Ford with
Selinsgrove Speedway appearance Friday
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 8, 2026
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (April 8, 2026) – With the High Limit Racing schedule on hiatus until their visit to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, April 17, the “Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorports will spend some time close to “home,” set to join the Pennsylvania Posse in a weekend tripleheader at Selinsgrove Speedway, Port Royal Speedway, and BAPS Motor Speedway on Friday through Sunday, April 10-12, respectively.
A hometown welcome, Vermeer Motorsports’ visit to Selinsgrove Speedway will coincide with their welcoming of Selinsgrove Ford, who helped Vermeer Motorsports equip their team with an all new F150 for everyday use. Founded in 1953, Selinsgrove Ford prides itself in expertise, diverse inventory, customer satisfaction, and competitive pricing – a quality option for everyone in the market for a new Ford or a reliable used vehicle.
“We’re thrilled to have our friends at Selinsgrove Ford join our efforts at Vermeer Motorsports. They’ve been in the business for over seven decades. If that doesn’t give enough intel on how they run their operation, nothing will, ” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, explained. “We’ve been in the market for a shop truck for a while now. We needed something reliable and dependable, and Selinsgrove Ford helped us navigate through the selection process. What better way to debut our new relationship than visit their hometown for a race.”
Adding some hype to the weekend agenda, Selinsgrove Speedway’s event on Friday will be its first of the season, with Saturday’s visit to Port Royal featuring the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series.
“This is a great way for us to do some additional testing before rejoining High Limit in Kansas,” Wolfgang added. “It’s tough to beat three races within a short drive of our shop.”
ON DECK:
A weekend at home, Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will join the
Pennsylvania Posse in starts at Selinsgrove Speedway, Port Royal Speedway
and BAPS Motor Speedway on Friday through Sunday, April 10-12.
Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will continue their 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing campaign with a Kansas and Missouri doubleheader. Action will commence Friday, April 17, at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, followed by a trip to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Saturday, April 18.

Weekly Rainfall Cancels POWRi WAR Season Opener at US 36 Raceway
Belleville, IL. (4/9/26) - POWRi Racing and track officials have made the difficult decision to cancel the POWRi WAR Sprint League event scheduled for Friday, April 10, at US 36 Raceway, due to ongoing inclement weather and unfavorable track conditions.
Persistent rainfall from the previous weekend and into the early part of the week, combined with additional precipitation expected Thursday through Friday and colder temperatures, have left the facility overly saturated and unable to provide a safe and competitive racing surface despite the continued efforts of the US 36 Raceway staff.
With continued weather impacts and little opportunity for track recovery, officials made the decision early to allow teams the opportunity to adjust their plans and explore other racing options for the weekend, rather than risk further complications with the event.
POWRi WAR and US 36 Raceway officials are actively working together to secure a reschedule date, with updates to be announced once finalized.
POWRi WAR teams will now shift their focus to their new season opener on Friday, May 1, at US 36 Raceway.
All POWRi WAR Sprint League events will be streamed live from Start2Finish, offering all-encompassing exclusive content, LIVE and ON-Demand coverage, and original programming at www.s2ftv.com.
Follow along for more information, including race recaps, updates, full results, and press releases online at www.powri.com, on X & Instagram at @POWRi_Racing, or on Facebook at POWRi.

Great Lakes Super Sprints Kick-Off 2026 with Non-Points Co-Sanctioned Show at I-75 Raceway
Sweetwater, TN - The start of the 2026 season is here for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) as teams again prepare to head south to Sweetwater, Tennessee and I-75 Raceway. For the third time, GLSS and the United Sprint Car Series will battle in the North VS South Sprint Car Challenge, bringing together the best of GLSS and the best of USCS.
The first co-sanctioned affair between the two prominent Winged 360 sanctions in the country unfolded in 2023. The first race between GLSS and USCS was won by ASA STARS National Tour standout, Gavan Boschele, part of a seven-win season for him with USCS. Boschele paced drivers like Zane DeVault, Chase Dunham, and Brad Lamberson. The following night, Max Stambaugh outdueled Boschele and Terry Gray for the win.
Since that Saturday night win, Stambaugh hasn’t relinquished I-75 Raceway Victory Lane when they host GLSS & USCS. The four-time GLSS Champion swept the 2024 weekend at I-75 Raceway, holding off GLSS regulars, Dustin Daggett and Phil Gressman, during the Friday night show, and kept Corbin Gurley and Luke Hall at bay on Saturday night.
The 2025 North VS South Sprint Car Showdown was cancelled due to weather.
Nearly a dozen drivers from the GLSS region are expected to make the trip to I-75 Raceway this weekend, including Stambaugh, Dunham, Jared Horstman, Van Gurley, Jr, Corbin Gurley, Aaron Shaffer, Ryan Ruhl, Devon Dobie, and Koby Allison.
Tickets for the North VS South Sprint Car Shootout will be available at the gate on race day. Friday, GLSS is joined by Sportsman Late Models, Street Stocks, Front Wheel Drives, B-Sportsman and Kid’s Bike Races. Gates open at 5:00 PM ET with racing at 7:30 PM. Saturday, GLSS is joined by Sportmsna Late Models, 602 Crate Late Models, Front Wheel Drives, B-Sportsman, and Mini-Modifieds. Gates open at 4:00 PM ET with racing at 7:00 PM ET.
Fans who can’t make the trip can catch all the action LIVE on GreatLakesSprints.TV. Use code GLSSFAN20 for 20% off an annual subscription.

Chase Johnson Racing 24 returns to competition for selected races
Penngrove, CA…The Chase Johnson Racing Team is pleased to announce it will return to action this season, while running a limited schedule of events.
The two-night Mini Gold Cup was the first scheduled start for the team; however, Mother Nature canceled those plans with a storm system approaching Northern California.
Chase Johnson is ready to get the car back on track with a different role in 2026, transitioning to team owner and manager.
“We look forward to being back on track with a mixture of Winged and Non-Winged races this year,” Johnson commented. “Trey Starks will be our primary driver, with others filling in additional dates that will be announced later. We are planning on a limited schedule since I need to remain focused on my recovery, which remains number one for me.”
As noted, Johnson has tabbed Northwest favorite Trey Starks to fill the seat for much of the season.
The Puyallup, Washington driver is fresh off a fantastic campaign that saw him win 10 races in just over 30-starts, including the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup with NARC 410 and the Fred Brownfield Memorial Skagit 360 Nationals with SCCT.
The initial plan for CJR is to run approximately 12 weekends, which encompasses around 20 shows total.
“We want to make sure to keep the seat warm, as my goal is to get back in the race car,” stated Johnson. “This is something that not only myself, but my family has also missed doing. It’s hard not to do the things you have only known to do since you were five years old. It’s been therapeutic for me to be back in the shop working on the car. It’s helped with my hands and fingers getting better, with my strength increasingly building up.”
Chase Johnson Racing also sends its thanks to several gracious sponsors and partners that are making it possible for a return to competition.
They include as follows: Price Family Dealerships, Toyota Walnut Creek, Toyota Modesto, Toyota Sunnyvale and Toyota Marin, along with Avanti Windows and Doors, Beilman Motorsports, Catalyst Performance Energy Drink, Markel Construction, Tim McClosky Electric, Johnny Franklin’s Muffler, Barsotti Auto Body, Napa Lake Parts, Pit Stop USA, Lifeline, Mettec and Keizer Racing Wheels.
“I am incredibly grateful to have my sponsors back on board, including some new partners as well. I am surrounded by a lot of great people who believe in me and are very supportive of this next step. Hopefully we can put together some good results for them and run up front.”

Tyler Ross Feeling Good Despite Recent Roller Coaster
Results
Abbottstown, PA – April 8, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Coming off back-to-back top-ten finishes, including a podium, to open the month of March, Tyler Ross was feeling good about the team’s speed and fast start.
As a veteran 410 sprint car racer, Ross knows every day is a new day and nothing in the sport is guaranteed. You control what you can control and hope that is good enough to produce the results you want.
UPS AND DOWNS
On March 22nd, Ross ventured to Williams Grove Speedway for their season-opener. An undesirable pill draw put the Lincoln University, PA driver behind the eight ball from the start of the night. Despite moving forward in the heat, it was only good enough to earn the 19th starting spot for the 25-lap A-main.
Ross worked his way up to 16th by lap ten, but his progress had stalled, and with the daytime surface making passing difficult, he opted to save his equipment.
“We have to make smart choices with our resources. It’s how the sport is for most teams these days. It’s just not worth it to put laps on our motor and use up our equipment when we are running mid-pack or worse,” Ross explained.
One week later, Ross unloaded at BAPS Motor Speedway and got back on track. He timed 5th quickest in his group, moved forward in his heat race, started 13th in the 30-lap A-main, and converted it into an 8th-place finish on a top-dominant surface that saw slide jobs used as the primary means of forward progress.
Ross returned to The Grove to open the month of April, and despite being down a cylinder at times throughout the night, turned in another top-ten finish. A solid 7th to 4th performance in his heat race put him 11th on the grid for the main event, and his efforts resulted in a 7th-place finish.
The following night, the team was back at Lincoln Speedway, where they had been running very well thus far in 2026. This night started well enough with a 5th-place heat race performance. In the feature, Ross had quickly moved from 14th to 10th in the early going when disaster struck. He was left with nowhere to go when a crash unfolded in front of him. The damage was limited, thankfully, but it ended his night.
“We were really going good until that incident. We definitely had a top-ten car…and honestly, I think we were good enough to get to the top five,” Ross lamented.
“We were fortunate to even be here. Shout out to the guys at Don Ott Racing engines. We stopped by there today, and they quickly found the cause of last night’s cylinder issue and fixed us up so we could race tonight.”
SUMMING IT UP
The two recent top-ten finishes, bookended by two DNFs, are not what Ross focuses on. That’s not how Ross Racing measures success.
“Finishes never tell the whole story. Our entire team is happy right now because we have had speed and we have been passing cars,” Ross said.
“I’m really looking forward to time trial shows where we have more control of our night. I think we are going to be just fine. The podiums and wins will come if we keep doing what we are doing.”
The stats certainly back up Ross’s perspective. He is +20 positions in heat race and feature finishes combined, in which he has seen the checkered flag thus far in 2026.
LOOKING AHEAD
Ross’s next race will be this weekend at BAPS Motor Speedway when the track hosts 410 sprint cars at 5 pm on Sunday, April 12th.
Fans should follow “Ross Racing 5” on Facebook to keep up
with schedule updates and news throughout Tyler’s season!

Season Open Delayed at Tri City Raceway Park
Tri City Raceway Park had to postpone its scheduled opening race due to ongoing weather-related challenges that have impacted final preparations at the facility.
Over the past several weeks, persistent winter conditions have delayed critical projects across the grounds. While substantial progress has been made—including significant improvements to the racing surface—the facility is not yet in condition to safely accommodate teams and spectators. Parking areas remain heavily saturated, and pit conditions are currently unsuitable for race operations.
Track owners Josh and Kyrsten Shiffer emphasized that the
decision was made with the best interests of the racing community in mind:
"Our responsibility is to our drivers, teams, and fans. We want to ensure
that every person who comes through our gates has a safe, enjoyable, and
high-quality experience. Taking the extra time now allows us to deliver that
without compromise."
This winter has proven especially difficult, slowing efforts to prepare the facility to the standard expected for race season. Rather than rush the process, track management remains committed to completing the necessary work thoroughly and properly.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this delay may
cause and appreciate the understanding and patience of our racing community.
This announcement is being made as early as possible to allow teams and fans
to adjust their plans accordingly.
Updates will be shared on the track’s official Facebook page, including
details regarding a potential practice session anticipated for next week,
pending improved conditions.

The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models make their second appearance of the season on Saturday. Defending track champion Rod Oliver earned the win on opening night over Paul Gugliomoni and Chris McGinnis.
The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks are amped up for point race number three this weekend. Oakley’s Nick Baldwin raced to his 40th career Placerville Speedway win at the most recent show.

High-Speed Fury Returns: USAC/CRA Sprint Cars And PASSCAR Stock Cars Invade Perris!
Perris, California — April 7, 2026 — Racing roars back to
Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, April 11, as Heimark Distributors
presents a thrilling night of high-speed action headlined by the Avanti
Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Joining them will be the PASSCAR
Super Stocks, Street Stocks, and American Factory Stocks. Spectator gates
open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00.
Saturday marks the third appearance of the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars during the PAS 30th Anniversary season. Two-time defending champion R.J. Johnson of Laveen, Arizona, the current point leader, captured the season opener on February 14. Three weeks ago, Oxnard’s Ricky Lewis scored his third consecutive series victory in a wild 30-lap main event on the famous Southern California clay oval.
Heading into Saturday’s race, Johnson holds a commanding 44-point lead as he chases a third straight title. Corona’s “Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams sits second, followed by last season’s Rookie of the Year, Connor Lundy of Peoria, Arizona, in third. Lewis is fourth, with San Diego’s A.J. Bender in fifth. Just seven points separate second-place Williams and fifth-place Bender.
Returning to challenge the USAC/CRA regulars after missing the last race is Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm of Yucaipa. Malcolm sat out while awaiting a new chassis and fresh engine. The new father began his racing career approximately 15 years ago as a 14-year-old Street Stock driver.
On the PASSCAR side, the Street Stocks and Factory Stocks make their third appearances of the 2026 season. Yorba Linda’s Chad Mahony, winner of the last Street Stock main, holds a slim three-point lead over Rancho Palos Verdes driver George Leventis and Riverside’s Morgan Rowlan, who are tied for second. Fontana’s Justin Dunn, who dominated the season opener but missed the last race, sits fourth.
In the Factory Stocks, Ramona’s Andrew Schmitz leads a tight championship battle over past champions Kris Carnish of Menifee and Canyon Lake’s David Stites. Schmitz has a slender one-point edge over Carnish and a four-point advantage over Stites, who flipped in the last race. Cameron Broe of Ramona and James Keller of Crestline round out the top five, just six and seven points back, respectively. Winchester’s Austyn Jaramillo and Robby Norris of San Diego won the first two Factory Stock mains of 2026.
Saturday will also see the PASSCAR Super Stocks make their
second appearance of the year at the Riverside County Speed plant. Leventis,
the son of two-time track Street Stock champion Chris Leventis, won the
season opener three weeks ago over past track champions Blaine Whitson of

Landon Brooks Romps To First Win of Season
landon.jpg
PETERSEN MEDIA: Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team turned in their best performance of the young 2026 season on Saturday night, as the Rio Oso, CA driver powered to the team’s first win of the season at Placerville Speedway, which also marked his first career SCCT triumph.
“I can’t say enough about this team,” Landon Brooks said. “They have been working so hard week in and week out to get us better each night, and we were so fast right out of the trailer on Saturday night.”
With 41 cars checked into the pit area for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour’s first event of the season, Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in fourth fastest in his qualifying flight which set him up for the night ahead.
Lining up on the pole of his heat race, Brooks was shot out of a cannon when the green flag dropped. Quickly distancing himself from the field, Brooks powered to the win, which not only locked him into the 30-lap feature event, it also earned a berth into the High Sierra Industries Dash.
Finishing fifth in the Dash, Brooks was set for the 30-lap finale on a surface that shaped up nicely after starting out with so much speed early in the night.
When the green flag flew, Brooks jumped into fourth before taking over the third position on the fourth lap. With a very good car underneath him, Brooks was able to put the Steven Tiner/Kyle Hirst prepared car anywhere he needed as he took over second on the 15th lap, and then began warfare with Jake Andreotti for the top spot.
Going back and forth with Andreotti, Brooks powered into the lead on the 19th lap, but the caution flew and negated his efforts. After a couple of attempts at getting the race back going, Brooks was able to roar into the lead when the green was displayed back to the field.
Out in front, Brooks never looked back and was able to work to a sizeable lead. Getting into traffic in the waning laps, Brooks slowed his pace a bit and allowed Andreotti to close in but he was never seriously challenged as he picked up his first win of the season, and his first career win with the series.
“It felt good to get back to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, and really feels good to get this team in victory lane,” Brooks added. “Really thankful to Roger and Lori Hamilton for such a great opportunity this season, and thankful for the marketing partners that have come on board to support us and make this possible.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Tough Night In Placerville, CA for Chance Grasty
PETERSEN MEDIA- Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team got off to a good start on Saturday night in Placerville, CA, but things quickly turned for the team as they ultimately endured a DNF in the feature event.
“After timing in second fastest in our qualifying flight, our night really went downhill, which was unfortunate,” Chance Grasty said. “We just got caught in bad spots in our feature and in our heat race, but it’s part of it on some nights.”
With 41 cars checked in at Placerville Speedway for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour’s season opening event, the Suisun City, CA driver timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 in second quickest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up fourth in his heat race, Grasty needed to finish inside the Top-5 to earn a spot in the Dash and transfer into the feature, however, issues with a car in front of him in turns three and four resulted in him making contact which then forced him into the work area.
Able to make enough repairs to tag the back of the field, Grasty ultimately finished seventh and was forced into the night’s B Main.
Taking the green flag from the front row, Grasty jumped out to the early lead and showcased a very strong car. Pulling away on a couple of restarts, Grasty was very pleased with how his car felt as he picked up the win and kept his night alive.
Lining up 21st in the 30-lap feature event, Grasty was mired in the back of the field in the opening stages of the race, but was extremely patient as the track widened out a bit with each lap.
When the race reached halfway, Grasty was able to make his first few moves of the race as he got into 18th, and then jumped into 17th a lap later and began to look for a way inside the Top-15.
However, on the 19th lap, more action took place ahead of him and he was again collected which ultimately ended his night.
“I felt good as we got to the halfway point, and was able to start making up some ground,” Grasty said. “Unfortunately, we ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and got collected in a wreck that ended our night.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty are set for Chico, CA this Friday and Saturday night as they will compete in the Mini Gold Cup.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-5, Wins-0, Top 5’s-0, Top 10’s-4

Late Race Incident Ends Copeland’s Top-10 Bid at
Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Traveling to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night with C&M Motorsports, Colby Copeland had a good night going during the SCCT opener until a late issue derailed his Top-10 run.
“I feel like we made a ton of gains earlier in the night, but I still need to get better late in the night,” Copeland said. “We put ourselves in a good position for the feature, but I just didn’t feel great and felt like we were a little off.”
With 41 cars checked into Placerville Speedway for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour’s season opener, Copeland timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7c in fourth fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the pole of his heat race, Copeland was hard on the throttle when the green flag dropped as he powered out to the early lead. Keeping the field at bay for the eight lapper, Copeland collected the win and punched his ticket into the Dash as well as the feature event.
Finishing sixth in the Dash, Copeland was set to roll off from the outside of the third row for the 30-lap feature event. When the race came to life, Copeland slipped back to eighth where he spent the majority of the night.
Battling hard inside the Top-10, Copeland slipped back to ninth just past the race’s halfway point, and then with just 10 laps to go in the race he was collected by a spinning car just ahead of him.
With the contact, Copeland’s night came to an early end.
“It was just a disappointing and frustrating way for our night to end,” Copeland said. “Big thanks to Cody and Mandi for their continued support, and thanks to Cody and the guys for all of their hard work in the pit area all night.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland return to action on the 25th in Merced, CA.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-5, Wins-0, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-2

Zearfoss with back-to-back top-fives; PA triple begins Friday at
Selinsgrove
ByTyler Altmeyer
April 6, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (April 6, 2026) – Back-to-back Central Pennsylvania starts resulted in back-to-back top-five appearances for the “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss, finishing fifth in his Friday visit to Williams Grove Speedway, followed by another fifth-place finish in his Saturday visit to the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace.”
For Zearfoss, the ace of his own Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, Blue Mountain Wellness, No. 3Z sprint car, the top-five sweep was not only a great stat booster, now with five top-fives and eight top-tens on the season, but a great momentum kick, as the former Outlaw is set to take on three PA starts beginning Friday, April 10.
Adding a little drama to his weekend stat card, Saturday’s start at Port Royal Speedway commenced with a caution, as Zearfoss – who started third – got stacked up with the majority of the field due to a poor launch from the front row. Needless to say, Zearfoss recovered, powering his way forward from the back of the running order.
“Overall, a solid weekend. I think we were in a pretty good position to win on Saturday at Port, but that’s how it goes sometimes,” Zearfoss noted. “Hats off to this entire team. They continue to work and the results continue to show. We have another big weekend ahead. Excited for three solid outings.”
ON DECK:
Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing will continue their 2026 campaign

ByTyler Altmeyer
April 6, 2026
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (April 6, 2026) – Improvement was the goal, and improvement is what he achieved, as “Double-D” Danny Dietrich turned his Saturday visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway into a triumph, climbing his way forward from 11th to secure the win over Freddie Rahmer and Cameron Smith. Dietrich, now a two-time Central Pennsylvania winner in 2026, clinched his victory in the closing circuits, taking advantage of a Rahmer mishap in turn four allowing “Double-D” to slip by underneath.
Dietrich, the ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, No. 48 sprint car, kicked off his Easter Weekend efforts with a top-ten at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, April 3; he was scored tenth.
As noted, the Lincoln victory was Dietrich’s second of 2026. The Gettysburg ace earned his first at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” on March 21.
“Super happy with our efforts at Lincoln Speedway,” Dietrich said. “We were kinda torn on where to go on Saturday. We kept an eye on the weather and weighed some other factors, but Lincoln was the obvious decision. We needed to get better there and things paid off. The results speak for themselves. We have another big weekend ahead…we’ll be ready.”

Brady Allum Looks for Redemption in 2026 Season
Anderson, IN (April 5, 2026) — After a standout rookie campaign, Brady Allum, the 2025 Rookie of the Year in the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour, spent the offseason preparing for a fresh start in 2026. “We completely rebuilt the old car and started working out,” Allum said. “We’re going through the new car and pretty much just rebuilding everything, just to have a full recheck of everything and make sure we’re fully prepared for the 2026 season.”
Following a year of major changes—including introducing a new chassis—the team focused on versatility and upgrades this offseason. “We pretty much upgraded a couple parts so we could be more versatile on race day and made some changes, just upgrading parts really, and pretty much rebuilt everything from last year,” Allum explained. “We can come in this year with a full reset and start fresh, continuing off the speed we had last year.”
Allum made an immediate impression in 2025, notching two top-10 finishes. He finished 10th at Kalamazoo Speedway and 10th at Anderson Speedway in October. On top of that he finished a career-best 12th place at the Little 500, a race he calls one of the highlights of his rookie season.
Experience has been Allum’s biggest growth as a driver. “I came in with very little experience in open-wheel cars,” he said. “I had about 10 races in an LS dirt sprint car before stepping into a pavement sprint car. The biggest improvement has been learning the little details it takes to compete and gaining the experience that comes with it.”
Patience behind the wheel is another key lesson from last season. “One of the biggest things was remaining calm, not getting too excited, and not rushing yourself to make moves. I just need to stay calm and be patient,” Allum said.
Looking ahead, he’s excited to return to familiar tracks where the team has shown speed. “Getting back on the racetrack at places like Anderson (Speedway) and Salem (Speedway) is what I’m looking forward to. We know we have a good car there and a notebook for those tracks. I’m excited to see if we can really compete up front.”
Allum also praised the 500 Sprint Car Tour for its level of competition. “There’s so much talent from all around the country. We have former NASCAR drivers, open-wheel veterans, modified racers, every night it’s something different. About 10 cars can compete for a win night in and night out.”
Family plays a special role in his racing journey. “I wouldn’t want to do it with anybody else. Sure, my dad and I bump heads sometimes, but at the end of the day, when we’re on the right path, we communicate well and constantly improve night after night. We both have the best interest for each other, so it’s very easy to work together.”
When asked to describe his mindset heading into the season in one word, Allum didn’t hesitate: “Redemption.”
With a fully rebuilt car, refined skills, and a renewed focus, 2025 Rookie of the Year Brady Allum is ready to build on his rookie season and chase that redemption on the high banks in 2026.

CAPTURING THE ACTION: ERIKA BYE RETURNS AS CRSA’S
OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER FOR 2026
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – April 5, 2026
When the CRSA Sprints are slipping and sliding around race tracks across New York and Pennsylvania, Erika Bye is in the infield capturing it all.
The owner of EC Media, Bye provides a range of services including photography, videography, hero card creation, and social media support for teams. Her award-winning work has been featured in publications such as CRSA’s website and Area Auto Racing News.
Bye got her interest in photography in 2020, working alongside her fiancé Evan Canfield. Together, they covered races from CRSA to asphalt modifieds to even NASCAR races from Watkins Glen to Richmond.
When Evan passed away in late 2024, Erika stepped up and continued Evan’s passion for motorsports photography, running EC Media and covering grassroots races alongside Evan’s parents, Duane and Stephanie.
The Evan Canfield Memorial Best Appearing Car award was given out at last December’s CRSA banquet, won by Zach Sobotka.

Bye can be seen around the pits before the race, taking photos, plus before the feature near turn one with the four-wide salute.
Bye’s photography duties will continue as CRSA prepares to launch the 2026 season next month at Thunder Mountain Speedway.
Away from the dirt track, Bye works as a senior manager at her local M&T Bank branch, a job she enjoys. She is a huge NASCAR fan, supporting Austin Dillon, in her spare time and cheers on the Packers. Bye resides in Central New York with her daughter, Lysie.

Impressive Finish For Brent Sexton At Tulare – Four SGR Drivers Head To Santa Maria Saturday
Lakeside, CA — April 2, 2026 — Despite being down a cylinder
in the USCS main event, Brent Sexton started 14th and finished seventh in
his first appearance at Tulare’s Thunderbowl Raceway last Saturday night.
This Saturday, the veteran racer and three other Sexton Gatlin Racing
drivers will head to the Santa Maria Speedway for the Motor City Buick/GMC
California Lightning Sprint Car Series race.
Coming off a second-place finish in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series the previous week at Ventura, Sexton was making his second Ultimate Sprint Car Series start of the 2026 campaign. He was hoping things would go better than his previous outing when he was clobbered by another car and flipped on lap one of his heat race at Las Vegas. The impact sent Sexton tumbling upside down. While he emerged unscathed, the same could not be said for his car, and he was done for the weekend.
Fortunately, the veteran Lakeside, California, racer put that night behind him and delivered a strong performance in his maiden voyage at the Thunderbowl. He qualified fifth in his group of seven cars with a lap of 17.334, which ranked 11th fastest among the 22 cars on hand.
After a fifth-place finish in his heat race, the three-time lightning sprint car champion started the main event 14th. It took four laps for him to pass a car and move into 13th. From there, he methodically worked his way forward. When a red flag due to a crash shortened the race about three-quarters of the way through due to time constraints, Sexton had climbed to seventh.
“We felt good in the car the whole time,” the friendly driver said. “We lost a pushrod in practice the night before. Thanks to Jimmy May, he had the parts, and we replaced it. But it did it again in hot laps on race night. So, we plugged off the injection and pulled the plug wire on one of the cylinders and ran on seven cylinders.”
“I was extremely happy,” the Tennessee native continued. “I figured we were going to have one hand behind our back, but I think it helped us.”
“Extremely impressed,” he enthusiastically stated about the track located in California’s Central Valley. “It was fun as hell for a non-wing sprint car. I am looking forward to coming back.”
This week at Santa Maria, four SGR drivers and three of the team’s cars will be on track. Brent, Braydin Collie of El Cajon, and Mark Henry of Rosamond will steer the SGR team cars. Brent’s youngest son, 21-year-old Grant, will drive the Savage Racing #3F owned by Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull.
Brent, Grant, and Collie are no strangers to Santa Maria. Brent and Grant have both competed there for years with strong results. Brent’s history at the track dates back to the late 1990s. Two years ago, Collie made his lightning sprint car debut on the famous 1/3-mile oval that opened in 1964 and surprised many with a sixth-place finish. Last year, he made two trips up the coast and recorded fifth and sixth-place results.
For fans who want to catch this week’s race live, spectator gates will open at 4:00 p.m., with racing at 6:00. Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo, California. For more information, visit www.santamariaspeedway.net or call (815) 619-0478.
After this week’s race at Santa Maria, SGR will continue its
busy schedule on April 10th and 11th. Brent and Grant will head 350 miles
north to contest the next two rounds of the SCLS Series. On April 10th, they
will compete at Watsonville Speedway. Twenty-four hours later, they will
race at Merced Speedway for the second event of the two-day weekend.

Steady Progress for Lattomus and Team Early in the 2026 Season
York Haven, PA – April 2, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
As the 2026 sprint car season kicks off, Preston Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91 team are reflecting on their early progress and continued development. A key focus for Lattomus has been improving his qualifying performance, a strategy that has already seen positive results.
QUALIFYING SUCCESS
Lattomus has successfully earned top-ten starting positions in his last three races, partially attributing this achievement to consistent speed, particularly at BAPS Motor Speedway.
“Qualifying has definitely been a positive this year, especially at BAPS. To be able to carry that effort to other tracks is still a goal.” Lattomus shared, commenting on the importance of maintaining qualifying performance across various tracks.
CHALLENGES
Despite strong starts, each A-main presented unique challenges.
“The goal is always to go forward in the A-main, and I didn’t get that done the last three starts. The first race at BAPS (Motor Speedway) was me just making mistakes early, and then as I started making good laps, everything just got spread out,” Lattomus explained.
“At Port Royal, I feel I learned every time I hit the track. In the feature, I put myself in a bad spot at the start, and it took a few laps to recover. After those first few laps, I got into a groove, running solid, consistent laps, but then got swallowed up with lap traffic, and it pretty much finished my race.”
“Last weekend at BAPS (Motor Speedway), we showed our speed all day. I lost all my ground in the first few laps. The track prep before the feature made it heavier than we expected. I just had no power and got driven around until about lap 4. It was tough to pass and make up ground all day.“
“I know that is something to aim my sights on, being better and more aggressive on the starts.”
IIMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS
Good communication is key to making good decisions, not just in racing but almost anywhere.
Lattomus and his team felt improved communication among team members would make a notable difference in their performance, so during offseason meetings, it became one of the team’s key goals for 2026.
“Our communications seem to be getting better every night now that it is a known priority among everyone. It has really helped us make the car and me better as the night goes on compared to last year,” Lattomus noted, emphasizing the ongoing focus on collaboration among team members.
EQUIPMENT CONSISTENCY
Lattomus knows he has good equipment. With equipment largely unchanged from last season, he and his team are building on their existing setup.
“We have the equipment to compete for wins. We haven’t made any major changes equipment-wise yet this season. We are working on improving in the areas we know we need to, while continuing to build on the progress we have made with what we have. ” Lattomus added.
UPCOMING PLANS
Lattomus will compete at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway in Pennsylvania this weekend, followed by a return to BAPS Motors Speedway the following weekend.

He’s Back: Tony Jackson Returns to Scott Hess Racing Sportsman for Select Shows in 2026
Newville, PA – April 2, 2026
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Coming just a day after April Fools’ Day, this is no joke — Tony Jackson is returning to the driver’s seat.
The veteran racer will pilot the Scott Hess Racing Sportsman for a select winged and wingless schedule in 2026, after previously announcing that 2025 would be his final season behind the wheel.
Jackson’s return will begin with a pair of wingless events on April 24 at Williams Grove Speedway and April 25 at Port Royal Speedway. He also plans to compete in wingless competition alongside the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars at Lincoln Speedway on May 5th.
“This was always kind of the plan, but I wanted Scott to be able to find someone to race full-time, as I just really didn’t want to do it all that much,” said Jackson. “I wanted to give Chase and the team the time to get going and get racing first, respectively, but we wanted to get the word out and start getting ready to go compete for wins.”
Jackson’s 2026 schedule will be selective, allowing him to balance time away from full-time competition while still competing for victories in the familiar Scott Hess Racing entry. Following a successful 2025 campaign, Jackson credited the support of his sponsors, friends, and family as the driving force behind his decision to come back for a limited run.
“We have a rough schedule kind of laid out, but this gives me the ability to be flexible and make sure my family and business get my attention first,” he said. “If I have something on the schedule and my boy has a ballgame that pops up, that’s going to get my attention and that’s the plan.”
Jackson also emphasized that his return will not take away from Chase Gutshall’s efforts behind the wheel of Scott Hess Racing’s winged Sportsman.
“Chase is already kind of stepping into a tough situation with a car that’s won a lot of races and been successful,” he said. “I want to make sure he can feel confident and appreciated, and I’m sure those guys are going to win a lot of shows together. There may be a few nights where we run two cars here and there, and ultimately the goal for us is to just have some fun, win some races, and hopefully we can both do that for Scott and all our sponsors.”
Additional appearances will be announced at a later date.

HOVIS RUSH RACERS TO COMPETE FOR $130,000+ OF ADDITIONAL CASH & VALUABLE PRODUCTS VIA CONTIGENCY PROGRAMS IN 2026 AS CORPORATE MARKETING PARTNER SUPPORT CONTINUES TO INCREASE
By Mike Leone
April 2, 2026 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Pulaski, PA)…As the 2026 season is set to begin, drivers
throughout the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Racing Series presented by
Born2Run Lubricants will not only be vying for what is considered to be the
nation's richest Chevrolet Performance crate engine championship point
funds, but also more than $130,000 of additional cash and valuable products
throughout RUSH's various contingency programs.
The RUSH Late Models will see well over $70,000 of
contingency value posted, while the RUSH Sprint Cars, RUSH Sportsman
Modifieds, RUSH Pro Mods, and RUSH Stock Cars will have an additional
$60,000+ posted in cash and useful valuable product!
"It's always been my goal to give back to as many RUSH
racers as possible," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "We know that not
every racer that competes throughout RUSH will finish in paying positions of
our championship point funds, but I do think the majority of our racers have
an opportunity at some time throughout the season to receive a great item
that can be beneficial to their racing operation over and above their normal
event payoffs."
"We currently have over 40 corporate marketing partners,
many of which have been with us for numerous years," revealed Emig. "We
simply could not sustain RUSH without them and we're greatly appreciative
for their unwavering support! Our goal with RUSH has always been to 'keep
people racing'! Simply put, the more cars we can keep on the speedway the
more opportunity they have to market their products and services. We've had
a phenomenal off-season as far as securing new corporate marketing partners,
several of whom have been instrumental in helping us create numerous new and
exciting programs in addition to our traditional ones."
The centerpiece of all of the RUSH contingency programs has
always been the renowned "Manufacturers Nights" presented by MSD
Performance. These events for each RUSH division guarantees every racer
competing at "Mfg. Night" a product certificate. The RUSH Late Model
certificates range in value from $400 to $2,000, while the other RUSH
divisions vary from a minimum value of $300 to $1,000. The certificates are
determined by a random draw, and most importantly are redeemed for the
actual value of the product, as racers do not have to spend additional funds
to receive them.
New for 2026 will be "Kenny's Cash", presented by RUSH
Sprint Car racer Arnie Kent in memory of his father, Kenny. This exciting
program will potentially distribute over $5,000 to the Series' race teams.
One-hundred dollars will be awarded to a lucky driver by rotating positions
at each 2026 RUSH Sprint Car event, then at the season ending event, a
$1,000 drawing will be held for drivers that compete in 75% or more of the
completed events.
Beginning in 2024,with its foundation set by the Landrum
Performance Springs $5,000 "Loyalty Bonus", an entire new program has been
developed known as the "Loyalty Program" for the RUSH Late Model Flynn's
Tire/Gunter's Hone Touring Series. This has been instrumental in securing a
large core group of racers who attend every event, which resulted in an
average car count of 37 in 2025 with many races seeing well over 40 cars
including an all-time record 62 at Lernerville Speedway's "Bill Emig
Memorial" presented by Sunoco Race Fuels. This program rewards committed
Tour racers several thousand dollars of value over and above the $76,000
championship points fund and the event payoffs, which feature a minimum of
$4,000 to-win.
In addition to the $5,000 Landrum Performance Springs
"Loyalty Bonus", which was won by New York racers Austin Allen (2024) and
Jason Knowles (2025), Touring drivers will also be eligible for the new
Capital Contracting Service "Allegiance Rewards", Real Merchant Services DMV
"Free Ride", and the Bazell Race Fuels "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" which
will push the overall value available to these racers to an estimated
$15,000.
After each completed four Tour events, Capital Contracting
Service will distribute $600 to lucky RUSH Late Model teams. Drivers/Owners
must be a Touring Series member and compete in 75% or more of the completed
events to be eligible for the three drawings of $300, $200, $100.

Persistent Rainfall and Cold Temperatures Force POWRi 410 Cancellation at 34 Raceway
Belleville, IL. (4/1/2026) - POWRi Racing officials have announced the cancellation of the scheduled Heartland Harley-Davidson 410 Spring Fling at 34 Raceway on April 3-4 due to substantial precipitation and forecasted cold temperatures throughout the week and into the weekend.
“With consistent rainfall throughout the week, little improvement in the forecast, and rising travel costs, the decision was made in the best interest of teams, fans, and competitors,” said Talin Turner, Series Director of POWRi Racing. “We didn’t want to put teams on the road with no real hope of getting the races in.”
At this time, no postponement date has been secured for the canceled event. However, should an opportunity to reschedule become available, POWRi Racing and 34 Raceway will provide updates accordingly. The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League is scheduled to return to 34 Raceway on Friday, September 4.
With the early-season adjustment, the highly anticipated Bluebonnet Showdown at Big O Speedway will now serve as the opening weekend for the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League season on April 24-25, officially kicking off the 2026 campaign.
While the cancellation is unfortunate, teams will now have the opportunity to spend Easter weekend at home with family before what is expected to be a demanding and action-packed season. POWRi Racing appreciates the continued support and understanding from fans, teams, and partners.

Tanner Carrick Pleased with Double Duty Showing in Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Tanner Carrick continued his early season double duty outings. Saturday night, Carrick was back in action in Tulare, CA where he resumed action with NARC and was also in action with the non-winged USCS.
“Overall, we had really good speed in both cars,” Tanner Carrick said. “It was a bummer that the non-winged race got cut short, because I think we could have a good race with Ryan Bernal, and in the NARC race, I got rolling but just misjudged a car and ended up spinning to a stop.”
With 29 NARC cars checked into the pit area for the series’ second event of the season, Carrick timed the CVC/Cemex/California Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in 17th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, Carrick was in a very entertaining three car battle for position, and when the race ended, he did end up sixth which did lock him into the 30-lap feature event.
Moving into the feature event, the Lincoln, CA driver took the green flag from the 17th starting position on a very slick and racy Thunderbowl Raceway surface. After the race’s first stoppage, Carrick used the restart to make a couple of big moves.
Sitting in 16th, Carrick jumped into 13th when the race came back to life and was in the Top-10 a lap later. With a big run heading into turn one, Carrick closed in on a car quickly and as he tried to get slowed down he made slight contact with the left rear and brought his car to a stop on the seventh lap.
Able to restart from last, Carrick was able to pick up a few positions but as rubber started to go down on the speedway, his progress was slowed as he capped the night off in 18th.
Also competing in non-winged action on this night, Carrick got his USCS part of the night off to a great start as he earned quick time honors.
Advancing from fifth to third in his heat race, Carrick lined up for the feature event in the sixth position. Running in sixth as the USCS feature came to life, Carrick moved into fifth on eighth lap, and then worked into fourth at what was the scheduled halfway point of the race.
Running in fourth, Carrick slipped back to fifth on the 19th lap, only to see the red flag come out and put him in third. Under the red flag, circumstance in the race changed and officials opted to call the race short six laps from the scheduled finish.
“Good speed in both our cars, and that is definitely a confidence booster heading into our busy schedule,” Carrick added.
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 10, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 4, Top 10’s: 5
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick will be back in action on Saturday night in Placerville, CA.

81 Speedway showcased the Tallgrass Tussle on Saturday and Gravel kicked off the program by establishing a new track record during qualifying. A heat race victory was followed by a charge from eighth to fifth place in the dash. Gravel ran inside the top five early before ending the main event sixth - his ninth top 10 of the season.
The team holds a 48-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering a rare Weekend off - the last until the Fourth of July Weekend.

Andy Forsberg Scores First Placerville Speedway Win of Season
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to action on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Andy Forsberg continued a strong start to the 2026 season as he picked up his 78th career win at the track which marked the team’s fourth tally of the year.
“We were able to get timed in a little better on Saturday night, which was a big step in the right direction for us and that set our night up,” Andy Forsberg said.
Timing in third fastest on Saturday night aboard the Pacific Highway Rentals/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No.92, Forsberg picked up a fourth-place finish in his heat race.
With his qualifying time mixed with his heat race transfer, the Auburn, CA driver was in the redraw where the two pill put him on the front row of the 25-lap feature event.
When the Ed Entz green flag dropped, Forsberg stood on the loud pedal and jumped out to the lead as he went to work on the top side of the Placerville Speedway surface.
Despite a copious amount of cautions plaguing the feature event, Forsberg was crisp on every restart and kept the field at bay as he stayed in command of the feature event.
Leading from flag to flag, Forsberg raced to his fourth win of the season, and his 78th career win at the track he has called home for the bulk of his career.
“It was a bit of a mess of a feature at times, but we had a great car and we were able to nail each restart and stay our front,” Forsberg said. “I was happy with our qualifying speed because with this week being an SCCT race, we will need to be on our game.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing Hard Charge with NARC
PETERSEN MEDIA: Despite a sluggish start to the night on Saturday in Tulare, CA, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team kept their nose to the grindstone and came to life when it mattered most as Brooks charged from 20th to 6thin the feature event.
“Our night started off decent in qualifying, but we struggled in our heat race, and I made some bad decisions,” Landon Brooks said.
With 29 cars checked into Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA, the Rio Oso, CA driver timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L mount in 14th fastest.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, Brooks slipped back out of a transfer as he worked around the 1/3 mile oval. Battling with Tanner Carrick, Brooks’ seventh place finish put him in the night’s ‘B’ Main with one final opportunity to lock into the feature event.
Starting on the front row of the semi, Brooks ran a very solid 12-lap race as he held the second position and punched his ticket into the night’s 30-lapper.
Taking the green flag from the 20th starting position, a very racy Thunderbowl allowed Brooks to make quite the charge forward. Using a restart on lap three to gain a ton of ground, Brooks jumped up to 13th before three and four wide racing around the slick surface, saw him move into 10th on the fourth lap.
Racing into eighth on the eighth on the eighth lap, Brooks continued to surge forward as he was into seventh a lap later. Moving into sixth on the 15th lap, Brooks got into a very spirited battle with Shane Golobic for fifth as the duo spent the final half of the race going back and forth as they battled for the final top-five position.
When the checkered flag flew, Brooks capped a very strong run in the ‘A’ off with a hard fought sixth place finish.
“I really have to give the Hamilton Racing team a ton of credit, because I felt so comfortable in the feature event,” Brooks added. “I could go wherever I needed, and if things played out a little different, I honestly believe we could have ended up on the podium. We will take the really good run in the ‘A’, and get ready for Placerville this Saturday.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Chance Grasty’s Consistent Start to 2026 Continues
PETERSEN MEDIA- Continuing an extremely consistent start to the 2026 season, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team picked up a seventh-place finish on Saturday night during the second round of NARC action.
“We got a very good draw, and that helped us time in third fastest,” Chance Grasty said. “Qualifying with NARC is huge, so that really set the tone for the rest of the night.”
With 29 cars checked into the pit area, the Suisun City, CA timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in third quickest in time trials.
Just needing to finish in the top-six in his heat race to qualify for the Dash, Grasty got a great jump from his fourth starting position as he settled into second. Searching around the Thunderbowl surface, Grasty did lose a position but his third-place finish was still enough to garner a Dash berth and lock into the feature event.
Finishing sixth in the Dash, Grasty was set to take the green flag for the feature event from the outside of the third row.
When the race came to life, Grasty quickly jumped into fifth before the first of a few cautions that were scattered in the race flew.
Slipping back to seventh on the first restart, Grasty was able to race is way forward, but found himself in a couple of multi car battles for position, with action all over the 1/3 mile oval.
Getting back into the Top-Five at one point, Grasty slipped back to seventh when the checkered flag flew on the feature event.
“There was really good action in the feature event, and we had a good car,” Grasty added. “We were just back in seventh when the rubber started to go down in the last few laps and that’s where he finished. Overall, I was pretty happy with the night in general.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (March 30, 2026) – It was a chilly night in the Show-Me State, but Doney-Lawson Racing’s (DLR) Xavier Doney was up for the task, joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in the KC Classic at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Missouri, on Friday, March 27.
In all, a consistent effort by the Odessa, Missouri, native, racing on to not only qualify through his respective heat race, but eventually cap the evening with a 17th-place score in the 30-lap main event. A respectable outing for the Doney-Lawson Racing | Schee-Lawson Chassis House Car program, the team launched their evening in the Show-Me State with the 15th-fastest qualifying time of 28 entries.
The coming Easter Weekend will prove to be just as busy for DLR, setting their compass toward the Hawkeye State for the two-day POWRi invasion of 34 Raceway on Friday and Saturday, April 3-4. Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and teammate at Doney-Lawson Racing powered by Kat Excavation, Pella Building Systems-Mini Storage Specialists, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Five Star Bodies, and Stanton Racing Engines, will make her 2026 debut in the aforementioned doubleheader.

Madsen makes moves in New Mexico and Texas; High Limit

MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (March 30, 2026) – The “Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports have been on the move, quite literally, earning back-to-back top-ten appearances in recent starts at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico, and Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas, on Tuesday and Friday, March 24 and 27.
In fact, Madsen, now with seven top-tens on the season aboard Vermeer’s TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors, No. 55 sprinter, finished ninth in each of his top-ten achievements, the latter the product of an impressive hard charge from 19th on the grid. The ten-spot increase was enough to solidify Route 66’s official Hard Charger Award, finishing just behind Texas’ own Sam Hafertepe Jr.
With all results considered, Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports sit sixth in the High Limit Racing championship, 29 points out of the top-five (with Tyler Courtney in fifth) and 104 points out of the lead (Tanner Thorson).
High Limit’s “High Rollers” were intended to continue action at Dodge City Raceway Park on Saturday, March 28, but Mother Nature had other plans.
“Overall, a consistent weekend for our team, and that’s what we’re after,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, explained. “Victories are our main priority, but maintaining consistency is just as important. Things are looking up from here and we’re excited about it.
“We’ll take Easter off to regroup before getting back to action,” Wolfgang continued. “We don’t have an exact plan for April 10-11, but we’ll have something figured out soon.”

Brian Brown Racing working hard in making improvements;
Upcoming weekend still TBD
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 30, 2026
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (March 30, 2026) – The 2026 season has been somewhat of a struggle for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing, forced to settle with another unsatisfactory result at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, on Saturday, March 28. Brown, whose resume speaks for itself with multiple Knoxville Raceway track championships, was scored 24th in the World of Outlaws program, commencing action from 17th on the grid.
Despite the frustration, the Grain Valley, Missouri, ace refuses to settle, praising his team’s hard work and determination in making their Casey’s | FVP cars better going forward.
“A pretty solid preliminary effort at 81 Speedway, but as we’ve said, it’s been a struggle to free up our cars in the A-Mains. We took a huge swing the other way this weekend. Still not where we need to be right now,” Brown was quick to note. “Depiste all of that, the guys continue to work really hard in getting us going in the right direction, working toward better, consistent finishes. The season is early. Plenty of time to get our cars better and get my wrist better. Not sure of an exact plan for the coming weekend. We’ll put something out as soon as we have a destination determined.”
Brown was fifth in his respective heat race in Park City, kicking things off with the ninth-fastest time in the first of two qualifying flights.

MUST SEE RACING CHANGES HANDS
March 25, 2026 - Holly, Michigan - Must See Racing CEO and President Jim Hanks today announced that he has sold his sprint car series and will step away from the day-to-day operations of the series effectively immediately. The timing of the sale comes less than six weeks before the opening weekend is set to kick off the sixteenth season of racing for the 410-winged asphalt sprint car series.
Long time Must See Racing official Tony Roberts now assumes ownership of the series. The Indiana native began his tenure in auto racing in an official's capacity in the early1990's while living in California. His brother Dan Robets was working at Ventura Raceway. He was heading up a local karting club that raced at the track and asked Tony for a hand.
Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Roberts moved to Bakersfield, California after a stint in the United States Air Force.in the late 1980's.
Shortly after his Ventura Raceway stint, Roberts landed a job with the USAC Western States Series. During his tenure with the USAC, he held several prominent roles within the series under the tutelage of Tommy Hunt.
After moving back to the Midwest in 2013 Roberts took a
position of Track Director with Must See Racing at the Urging of Bill
Shipman. He was immediately impressed with 410-winged pavement sprint car
racing noting that it was exciting and captivating.
He has been involved with multiple racing series over the years that have
included a variety of race cars including Go Karts, 410-winged sprint cars,
midgets, USAC Silver Crown cars, and super modifieds among others. He has
worked at tracks ranging in size from a quarter mile to one mile in length.
"It's an honor to be able to acquire such a historic series" stated Roberts. "Jim Hanks has done a remarkable job establishing a brand-name brand with great drivers and exciting racing. I already have a great relationship with the teams from my time as an official. I hope to honor the traditions and build on what Jim and Nancy have established for years to come".
Hanks, 78, caught the racing bug as a small child while attending races at Motor City Speedway in Detroit. He instantly caught the racing bug and soon began racing Go Karts. He would purchase sprint cars and USAC Silver Crown cars in the mid 1990's. His cars were a regular staple at USAC Sprint Car, USAC Silver Crown, and Super Sprints events. Notable drivers include Kevin Feeney, Aaron Pierce, Mike Ling, and Curt Shumaker.
Hanks, along with his wife Nancy of 56 years, founded Must See Racing as a motorsport's television production entity in 2008. He produced tape delayed racing broadcasts for Fox Sports Network in the early years. He ultimately sought to bring winged pavement sprint car events regularly into the homes and televisions of millions.
After difficulties convincing two rival series to work
together in an effort to produce sufficient car counts for his nationally
televised events, Hanks decided to form his own series so he could have
control of every aspect of his events from start to finish. He believed
creating his own series was essential to producing quality winged pavement
sprint car events for national television audiences.
In 2011 the Must See Racing Sprint Series was born. The series had a strong
presence in the Midwest. The Holly, Michigan based series has competed in 13
different states to date. The sanctioning body has also included Super
Modifieds and 602 Crate Sprint Cars under its umbrella in the past. MSR
sanctioned and televised the Little 500 from 2012-2020.
Two events that stand out in MSR's sixteen-year history was a one-off non-wing sprint car event at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana. That event saw 27 cars take the green flag during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic year. Kody Swanson won the event that was televised on MAVTV.
On October 1, 2011, MSR visited Bristol Motor Speedway for the only time winged pavement sprint cars visited the legendary high-banked half-mile speedway. Brain Gerster won that $10,000 event and still today holds the all-time track record with a lap of 12.742-seconds (150+ mph).
“For over thirty years I have been blessed with the privilege to participate as a car owner and as the founder and owner of Must See Racing which has been an important business endeavor and a responsibility to best represent our sport providing racing entertainment for the fans and value for the teams, tracks, sponsors and all the stakeholders.
Positively contributing to racing has been important and a key part of my life however, I must immediately and unconditionally retire from the business of racing for the wellbeing of my family, my health and the future of MSR.
My gratitude for the business and personal support over the years is beyond measure and I thank everyone ...our staff, the teams, tracks, multimedia partners, sponsors, fans and most importantly my wife Nancy.
Moving forward under the direction and management of the experienced and capable hands of long time MSR official Tony Roberts the future of Must See Racing is strong, very strong. “

MISSISSIPPI / ALABAMA SPRINTS SET FOR MOBILE RETURN
March 24, 2026 - The Mississippi / Alabama sprints are set to kick off the 2026 season this Saturday night March 28 at Mobile International Speedway (MIS) in Irvington, Alabama.
Winged sprint car racing returned to MIS last April 26 after a six-year hiatus. Tampa, Florida’s Johnny Gilbertson won that event in front of a packed house. The popularity of the sprint car return to MIS led to an additional two more races last year.
Race organizer Fred Fayard, who was responsible for organizing the return, sought to add even more races in 2026 at MIS. A schedule of four races at MIS was initially announced at the first of the year with the possibility of even more events.
Fayard encouraged a group of 360-winged sprint cars from the Mississippi / Alabama area to band together for regular winged sprint car racing at MIS in 2026 and beyond. Long range plans include adding another track or two as car count increases.
The events will be 360 winged where no points will be accumulated, and no champion will be crowned at the conclusion of year. The events will pay $2,000 to win and $500 to start. The events are being organized to be run with the emphasis on having fun.
A strong field of nearly 20 cars representing five states is expected for the season opener Saturday. There were three different winners of the three races contested in 2025. A competitive event with a possible new winner is anticipated.
EXPECTED ENTRIES (As of 3/23/26)
8 – Shane Reavis – Byram, MS
12 - TBA
13 – Toff Fayard – Biloxi, MS
18 – Dave Mader III – Irvington, AL
21 – Butch David – Geismar, LA
27 – Chase Wood Jr. – Mobile, AL

Ryan Newman Set for Return to Little 500
Anderson, Indiana (March 25, 2026) — Veteran standout Ryan Newman will once again tackle one of pavement racing’s toughest challenges, as he officially enters the Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by ED Martin Automotive Group. He brings with him one of the most accomplished resumes in American motorsports.
A native of South Bend, Indiana, Newman rose through the ranks with a reputation for engineering precision and raw speed. A Purdue University engineering graduate, he quickly made a name for himself in NASCAR. Over the course of his career, Newman has recorded 18 wins in the NASCAR Cup Series, along with more than 50 pole positions, consistently competing at the highest level of stock car racing for over two decades.
His biggest triumph came in 2008 with a victory in the Daytona 500, one of the sport’s most prestigious events. Newman also contended for a championship in 2014, finishing second in the final standings, further solidifying his reputation as one of the sport’s toughest and most consistent competitors.
Despite his success on NASCAR’s biggest stages, Newman has never strayed far from his Midwestern roots or his passion for short track racing. That passion continues to bring him back to the Little 500 at Anderson Speedway. A race known for its 500-lap grind, live pit stops, and unmatched intensity in pavement sprint car competition.
Newman will make his fourth career start in the Little 500, having previously competed in 2022, 2024, and 2025. His best performance came in 2024, when he raced to a strong sixth-place finish against a deep and competitive field. Each appearance has added to his experience in the unique event, as he continues to pursue a breakthrough run in the historic race.
Little 500 legend and nine-time winner, Eric Gordon, will once again lead the charge for Ryan Newman. Gordon, who has been a cornerstone of the team, keeps the car in Indiana and meticulously fine-tunes it for every race. His expertise and experience at the Little 500 make him an invaluable asset as Newman aims to add another strong finish to his impressive record.
For the 2026 edition, Newman will be backed by primary sponsor Ed Martin Ford, with additional support from Finzer Roller, Bobcat Company, and Lucas Oil.
With his combination of experience, mechanical knowledge, and relentless determination, Newman’s return adds even more depth to an already stacked field. As the laps wind down on the 500-lap classic, don’t be surprised to see the Indiana native in the mix, continuing his pursuit of a Little 500 victory.
The 78th Unified Group Little 500 presented by ED Martin Automotive Group week begins Wednesday May 20 for practice. CB Fabricating Pole Day is Thursday, May 21, and Bump Day is Friday, May 22. The historic 500 lap race is scheduled to start at 8:00pm on Saturday, May 23. Fans unable to attend in person can watch racing live on Racing America. Click Here to Purchase Tickets today.

Placerville Speedway hosts Sluice Box Bonanza this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…A four division program rumbles into Placerville Speedway this Saturday March 28th when the quarter mile plays host to the Sluice Box Bonanza.
The Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars make their second appearance of the year after launching 2026 last week.
Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield snagged the win over championship contender Justyn Cox of Clarksburg. Austin Wood, Max Mittry and Colby Copeland completed the top five on opening night.
This Saturday is final Winged 360 Sprint Car tune up prior to the SCCT opener on April 4th.
The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks are back at it for their second point race on Saturday. Placerville’s own Tyler Lightfoot grabbed his second career Pure Stock win last week while holding off the relentless challenges of Nick Baldwin from Oakley.
Making their season debut on Saturday will be the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. The grass roots racing division offers an economic way to get on track and have some fun. Nevada driver Howard Miller scooped up one win on way to the championship last year.
The traveling Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars round out the card at the Sluice Box Bonanza. Marysville’s Josh Young and Elk Grove’s Jake Morgan captured the Hunt Tour visits last season. The wingless warriors also return for another event on June 13th.
Placerville Speedway is proud to be nestled in the heart of gold country, and we pay homage to that with the Sluice Box Bonanza this weekend.
A sluice box is a highly efficient, portable gold-mining tool used to separate heavy gold from gravel using water flow, catching gold behind riffles and inside matting. Often made of aluminum with rubber or carpet liners, these devices are essential for processing 10 to 20 times more material than panning.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during the Sluice Box Bonanza will be General Admission on Saturday March 28th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
Adult tickets cost just $20, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $18. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr-032826
The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. Cars hit the track at 5:15pm with hot laps, ADCO Driveline Qualifying and racing to follow.
The Placerville Speedway is located on the beautiful El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, California. Take Hwy US-50 to Forni Road/Placerville Drive exit. Then go north on Placerville Drive to the Fairgrounds. The physical address is 100 Placerville Dr., Placerville, CA 95667. For more information log onto http://www.placervillespeedway.com
For those who can’t make it to the track, CaliDirt.TV will provide live flag-to-flag coverage of every Placerville Speedway point race this season. The live streaming service also includes each event with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Fans can purchase through a cost savings monthly membership or on a per race basis via https://calidirt.tv/

One Goal in Mind: Bobby Santos III Targets Little 500 and Full-Season Success
As the calendar inches closer to the start of the 2026 yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour season, Bobby Santos III isn’t reinventing the wheel—he’s refining it.
After a steady offseason centered on fine-tuning rather than wholesale changes, Santos enters the year with a quiet confidence. With the prestigious Unified Group Services Little 500 circled firmly on his calendar, the veteran driver believes his team is better positioned than it has been in recent seasons.
“I feel like we’ve had a good offseason,” Santos said. “I’m optimistic that we’re in a better spot with our race car than we have been the last couple years. I’m excited. I think we’re prepared, and I’m really hoping we can unload with more speed than we’ve had.”
In 2026, that preparation comes with added commitment. Santos and DJ Racing intend to compete in every event on the 500 Sprint Car Tour schedule, signaling a full-season focus with a clear emphasis on consistency and championship contention.
At the center of it all remains the Unified Group Services Little 500.
While the full schedule is on the radar, Santos has made it clear the crown jewel event carries special importance.
“That’s the one I’ve got circled,” he said. “But we’re focused on being strong everywhere. Running the full schedule, you’ve got to be competitive week in and week out.”
Now firmly one of the seasoned veterans in the field, Santos’ approach has evolved over time. Once guided closely by his father in the shop, he now shoulders the responsibility of car preparation himself. A transition that has strengthened his understanding of the craft.
“At first that was harder, but I feel like I’ve learned and come a long way,” Santos explained. “And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how important it is to be in good shape. I take pride in being able to compete physically, even against the younger guys.”
That mindset began to pay dividends last season.
A breakthrough victory at Toledo Speedway highlighted Santos’ 2025 campaign and marked a turning point. After a disappointing run in the Little 500, the team regrouped, made adjustments, and found consistency across multiple tracks.
“Winning Toledo was definitely the highlight,” he said. “But really from that point on, I felt like we had decent speed and were competitive everywhere we went.”
Strong finishes at Salem Speedway and Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park further reinforced that progress. At IRP in particular, Santos believes the team uncovered something valuable. Something he’s eager to build on, even if the return trip doesn’t come until the fall.
“I think we found something there last October that we can carry forward,” Santos said. “I’m excited to go back and feel like we can be even better.”
While Santos is focused on his own performance, he’s equally aware of the rising level of competition across the 500 Sprint Car Tour. With a growing list of contenders capable of winning on any given night, the margin for error continues to shrink.
“From winning a race to running eighth is a pretty fine line now,” he noted. “That’s how competitive it’s become. But I love it, it brings out the best in me.”
Behind the scenes, Santos continues to rely on the unwavering support of his family. His parents remain a constant presence at the racetrack, playing integral roles in the operation.
“I don’t think they’ve missed a race since 2019,” Santos said. “My mom helps keep everything organized, and my dad is someone I can always rely on for setup and ideas. I’d probably be lost without them.”
That same sense of loyalty extends to longtime car owner Dick Fieler, with whom Santos enters his 11th season. Their enduring partnership is a rarity in motorsports—and one Santos doesn’t take for granted.
“To have a relationship like that in racing is unbelievable,” he said. “Dick loves sprint car racing and gives me every tool to succeed. I’m very lucky to be part of it.”
With a strengthened notebook, a full-season commitment, and a renewed focus on the sport’s biggest stage, Santos’ outlook for 2026 can be summed up in a single word:
“Focused.”
High Limit Top-5 For Joel Myers Jr
PETERSEN MEDIA: Joel Myers Jr had a great showing with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Series on Thursday night in Arizona. Lining up 14th in the feature event, Myers Jr patiently worked his way forward and scored a 5th place finish.
“We got our week off to a great start, then just had some things not go our way on Friday and Saturday,” Myers Jr said. “After running fifth on Thursday, Friday night we got too tight in the feature and faded back a little, and on Saturday night we had a part failure end our night while running in a transfer position in our heat.”
Kicking the Cactus Classic off on Thursday night in Casa Grande, AZ, Myers Jr timed the Graham Rahal Performance/Gary Tennyson Motorsports/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 19 in 17th fastest in time trials.
Going from sixth to fifth in his heat race, Myers Jr earned the transfer into the feature event where he rolled off the starting grid from the 14th position.
Abel to run a patient race amidst some of the chaos in the early laps, Myers Jr up into eighth on the 4th lap, and then made a couple of moves to take over third on the 8th lap.
Battling for third and fourth for a majority of the race, Myers Jr flexed his muscle and went toe-to-toe with some of the best in the world.
On the 20th lap, Gio Scelzi was able to sneak by Myers Jr and put him in the fifth position, where he went on to finish.
Timing in ninth fastest in time trials on Friday night, Myers Jr again finished fifth in his heat race which put him 17th on the starting grid on this night. In the early stages of the feature, Myers Jr worked his way up into the Top-15, but as he started to battle a tight car he lost the track position that he worked so hard for and ended up 20th.
Saturday night saw Myers Jr again time in very well, as his eighth quickest effort put him in the third row of his heat race. When the heat came to life, Myers Jr settled into fifth as he appeared to be on his way to transferring directly into the feature event, but on the race’s last lap he endured a rear end failure which ultimately brought his night to an end.
“It definitely wasn’t the final night we wanted to have, but I was happy with the speed our car had all weekend,” Myers Jr said. “I really want to give a huge thank you to Graham Rahal Performance and Gary Tennyson Motorsports for all of their support the last two weeks. It was a ton of fun to represent both of them with High Limit Racing. Along with their support, I appreciate all of our marketing partners for making this all possible.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

PETERSEN MEDIA- Making the decision to head to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the track’s season opening event, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team picked up a sixth place finish as they now turn their attention back to the 2026 NARC schedule.
“It wasn’t a great night for us, but with the track staying pretty fast all night, you really needed to position yourself well, and I didn’t take advantage of a front row starting spot in our heat, and missed the redraw,” Chance Grasty said.
Timing the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in sixth fastest in time trials, the Suisun City, CA driver lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Not getting the jump he needed, Grasty slipped back into second. Holding the runner up position, Grasty locked directly into the feature event, but he didn’t qualify for the redraw and lined up ninth in the feature event.
When the 30-lap affair went green, Grasty jumped up into sixth in the first few laps of the race as the field filtered out around the ¼ mile bullring.
Despite getting into traffic quickly, Grasty held down the position as he continued to work around the speedway.
On the 27th lap, a restart changed the look of the race a bit for Grasty. When the race resumed, Grasty slipped back to seventh briefly, but was able to power his way into fifth briefly until he fell to sixth at the finish line.
“It was just one of those races where we needed to be in the first few rows,” Grasty said. “I am excited to get back to our NARC schedule this weekend in Tulare, CA.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will be in Tulare, CA on Saturday night.

STEWART PRIMED FOR BOHUD RACING RETURN
To say that Michael Stewart is excited about his return to 410 Sprintcar racing with the Bohud Racing team would be quite the understatement, and the feeling is certainly mutual from everyone within the Bohud Racing team.
After spending the last six months on the sidelines with neck injuries following a crash back in September last year, Stewart is raring to go for his Sprintcar racing return aboard the NS # 14 Losi / Illawarra Truck Repairs & Spares supported Triple X car for this weekend’s Red Hot Shootout at Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway in Queensland.
“It’s been quite difficult sitting on the sidelines, especially during the busy parts of the season, but it has pushed me on to work hard on my recovery and get back out there,” the 30-year-old said, who ironically makes his return to Sprintcar racing at the track where he got injured last September.
“During my recovery, I’ve managed to get myself into the best physical shape I’ve ever been in since I began speedway racing due to getting hard into some training, and hopefully it’s going to allow me to be competitive from the outset and amongst the front runners.”
The return of Stewart to the Bohud Racing team is with a heavy heart following the recent passing of integral team member Paul Jones following a short battle with cancer.
“Paul was a massive part of the Bohud Racing team and he lived and breathed Sprintcar racing, and he is already so dearly missed by everyone within the team, and it’s going to be especially tough when we get out there and get back into racing,” expressed Michael, whose favourite saying of Paul’s was when he would say after he’d come into the pits after a good run, ‘the car looks bloody fast’.
“There is no doubt about it, Paul would want the Bohud Racing team to continue with the Sprintcar racing program, and that’s exactly what we are going to do by going out there and racing in his honour.”
The $20,000 to win Red Hot Shootout is going to be fought out this Friday and Saturday night. At last season’s running of the event, Stewart enjoyed an impressive run and ended up finishing on the podium in third.
The Bohud Racing team would like to thank their 2025-26 season supporters:

Andy Forsberg Nets Two Top-10’s During Watsonville and Placerville’s Season Opening Evening
PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsbserg and the PHR Racing team had another busy weekend which saw the team pick up a fourth-place finish on Friday night at Watsonville Speedway and backed it up with a seventh-place finish at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.
“Friday night, we still fought that engine that has been having us rack our brains, so we decided to pull it before the feature and the replacement ran really well,” Forsberg said. “Saturday night, we had really good speed, but I just got caught behind a car that got out of shape late in the race and lost a couple spots playing the avoiding game.”
Friday night, Forsberg and company checked into Watsonville Speedway where they got off to a bit of a slow start as the Auburn, CA driver timed in 9th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Able to work his way up to a third-place finish in his heat race, Forsberg and company still were not happy with how their powerplant was behaving and made the decision to swap prior to the ‘A’ Main.
With a ton of hands-on-deck to assist in the swap, Forsberg was able to take his eighth starting position in the 25-lap feature event. When the race went green, Forsberg was extremely fast as he carved his way forward, and laid down some of the quickest laps of the race.
Powering his way up into third, Forsberg lost the spot in the closing laps and capped the night off with a fourth-place finish.
Saturday night saw the team make the trip to Placerville Speedway to take part in the track’s season opening event. With 23 cars checked into the pit area, Forsberg was the last car to time in and ended up 11th on the speed chart.
Finishing third in his heat race, Forsberg transferred into the feature event where he took the green flag from the 10thposition, on a surface that stayed very ‘grippy’ and retained a lot of moisture despite unseasonably high temperatures.
When the green flag dropped, Forsberg was able to make some big moves on the ¼ mile bullring as he worked his way through the Top-10 and into the Top-5. Getting into fifth after a couple of timely cautions, he looked to be on his way to a fifth-place finish until a car got out of shape in front of him and as he took evasive action to avoid contact, he lost a few positions and slipped back to a seventh-place finish.
“I am really proud of my team with how hard they worked all weekend long,” Forsberg said. “I am surrounded by a great group of people who love to go racing, and it makes it fun. I am little disappointed with how our night ended on Saturday, but that has nothing to do with how our car was, just a bit bummed with how the last few laps turned out for us.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 7, Wins-3, Top 5’s-5, Top 10’s-7
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will be back at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

Colby Copeland and C&M Motorsports 5th at Placerville
Speedway’s Season Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA- Climbing back aboard the C&M Motorsports No. 7C on Saturday night, Colby Copeland and team had a solid night on ‘the hill’ as the Roseville, CA driver picked up a fifth-place finish in the feature event.
“Once we got on track after qualifying it was really a solid night for the C&M Motorsports team,” Colby Copeland said. “We were just a little off, but Cody, and Bobby, and John went to work and put a really racy car under me for the rest of the night.”
With 23 cars on hand for the track’s season opening event, Copeland timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7C entry in 16th fastest in time trials.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, Copeland had a strong car under him, but the track conditions didn’t allow for much passing. Able to gain a position and finish fifth, Copeland locked directly into the 30-lap feature event where he took the green flag from the 13th starting position.
Despite the unseasonable warm temperatures that blanketed the area, the race track still held a ton of moisture all night long and created for a lightning-fast surface.
In the opening stanzas of the ‘A’, Copeland was a little ‘tight’ with a full fuel load, but as the lacks clicked off, he was able to start working his way forward. Racing his way into eighth at the race’s halfway point.
Running in eighth for 10-laps, Copeland moved into seventh with five laps to go, and on the 28th lap he took full advantage of a couple of cars washing up the track in front of him and shot into fifth.
Holding the position for the final two laps, Copeland capped the night off with a fifth-place finish.
“I am just really thankful for the opportunity to run with C&M Motorsports, and each night out has been a lot of fun,” Copeland added.
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland return to action April 1st at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-3, Wins-0, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-2

Dakota Albright 2nd to Open 2026 Season
PETERSEN MEDIA- Checking in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night to open up his 2026 campaign, Dakota Albright had a very fast racecar that resulted in a second-place finish.
“We have some prototype components we are trying to start the year, and they seemed to work really well on Saturday night,” Dakota Albright said. “With the track staying really fast all night, it definitely helped with what we were trying, so overall I would say it was a successful night.”
Timing in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials, Albright lined his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35JR entry up in the second row of his heat race.
In an extremely entertaining battle up front between Albright, Greg Dennett, and Justin Norton, Albright settled for a third-place finish which pitted him in the 5th starting position for the 20-lap feature event.
With the car ahead of him not firing off great when the feature came to life, Albright slipped back to seventh initially, but was able to power his way back into fourth by the end of the first lap.
With a full head of steam he powered into third on the second lap, and the top three broke away and left the rest of the field in their wake. Closing the gap in what was a non-stop affair, Albright took the checkered in third, but after post-race tech was bumped up to second officially.
“It was a fun feature event, and I wish we could have been a row better because I think we would have had something for the top-two,” Albright added. “I want to extend a big thank you to Parker Performance and Fab for their efforts on a few things for us, as well as to all of our partners for their support.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Sweep Oklahoma Weekend to Push Winning Streak to Three in a Row
Inside Line Promotions – SAPULPA, Okla. (March 23, 2026) – It’s all clicking for Big Game Motorsports, which is coming off a sweep of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series weekend in Oklahoma.
Triumphs during the Sooner Stampede on Friday at Lawton Speedway and the Creekadega 40 on Saturday at Creek County Speedway moved David Gravel into sole possession of sixth place on the World of Outlaws wins list with 123 trips to Victory Lane. It also marked the first time in his career that he’s captured three consecutive Outlaws victories.
“It’s hard to win races,” he said. “Even though you put yourself in position doesn’t mean you’re going to win. To start the year in Volusia, we were one corner away, but just didn’t get the job done. When we left Volusia we knew we were heading to a lot of short tracks. They guys are working hard and making the car better and better.”
Gravel opened Friday’s program at the bullring in Lawton by qualifying second quickest in his group. A heat race win moved him into the dash, which he won from the outside of the front row to garner the pole position for the 35-lap main event.
“We qualified solid, ran good in the heat race and won the dash,” he said. “The bottom was worn out (to start the main event). Brady (Bacon) ran the top and showed it was the place to be in the feature. I got in line behind him. I was pacing him and seeing how the race played out. We didn’t get into too much lapped traffic because of some cautions. Midway through the race Sheldon (Haudenschild) kept poking his nose in on me. I went and poked the middle. The car stuck really good and so I was like, ‘Oh, it’s taking rubber already.’ Brady had no idea and I was able to find it before he did. I controlled the race from there.”
Gravel took the lead on Lap 19 and held the point position for the remainder of the race.
On Saturday, Gravel was on top from the start of the night at Creek County Speedway. He set quick time overall and picked up a heat race win before drawing the worst number – eight – in the dash redraw.
“I felt like we weren’t probably going to win from eighth, but thought if we could get to the next row in the dash and pick off one or two cars early in the feature, it could work out,” he said. “We finished fifth in the dash and they tilled the bottom of the track so I felt that was going to be the place to be. It all worked out as planned. The top four of us were battling back and forth. I found myself in second and was able to get the lead. I lost it in traffic and was able to gain it back with a couple to go. I had to be patient there. I didn’t get overly excited and stayed the course.”
Gravel, who moved to fourth on the opening lap, gained two positions on Lap 18 before he took the lead on Lap 23. He briefly lost the top spot in traffic on Lap 33, but regained it on Lap 36 and held on throughout the final five laps.
The strong weekend increased Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 58 points.
Up next is the KC Classic this Friday at U.S. 36 Raceway near Osborn, Mo., followed by the Tallgrass Tussle on Saturday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan. Gravel was victorious at U.S. 36 Raceway and he finished second at 81 Speedway during his most recent visit to both tracks in 2024.

Dietrich, who scored $6,000 for his efforts, secured his Port Royal triumph in the first-ever PA Posse 410 Sprint Series event, leading every lap of the 25-contest from the pole position.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (March 23, 2026) – It was another competitive weekend on the road for “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports, this time joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in starts at Lawton Speedway and Creek County Speedway on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.
Although settling for feature finishes outside of the top-ten, 18th and 24th, respectively, there were plenty of shining moments, one of which a heat race victory at Lawton which sent the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native directly to the evening’s dash; he finished eighth.
The World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year contender will now move ahead, aiming at upcoming starts at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Missouri, and 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, on Friday and Saturday, March 27-28.
“Laps make progress,” Thiel, driver of Greg Wheeler’s Scott Thiel Builders, Gibbsville Cheese, Flint Trucking, Professional Plating, Richards Well Drilling, Complete Water, GRP Motorsports, No. 16C, said. “I think we’re making a lot of progress. The box scores never paint the whole picture. Regardless, super proud of this entire team. It’s not easy battling with the best in the world every night, but that’s what it takes to be at the top.”

ODESSA, Mo. (March 19, 2026) – It’s never an easy outing with the Greatest Show On Dirt, but Xavier Doney of Doney-Lawson Racing and Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars accepted the challenge, joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in their two-day Oklahoma invasion, visiting Lawton Speedway and Creek County Speedway on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.
Although the young man out of Odessa, Missouri, was forced to settle for a 19th-place highlight, doing so on Saturday in the Outlaws’ first-ever appearance at Creek County, notes were taken and progress was achieved, already aiming big in another World of Outlaws appearance at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Missouri, on Friday, March 27.

Reutzel and RSR highlight Arizona visit with Friday
podium; Vado, Route 66, Dodge City all ahead

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (March 23, 2026) – In all, it was a sound three days at Central Arizona Raceway for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), concluding the Cactus Classic featuring High Limit Racing by capturing back-to-back top-five results – a picture perfect ending after their efforts started with a roll over on Thursday, March 19.
Reutzel, ace of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprinter, finished second and fifth in his back-to-back top-five outcomes, leading the first seven laps on Friday, March 20, before charging ahead four spots in Saturday’s Casa Grande finale.
As noted, the weekend kicked-off on a bad note, taking a tumble on Thursday due to a nowhere-to-go situation; he was scored 19th. With all results considered, even the negative, Reutzel and RSR remain well within the top-five of the High Limit Racing championship chase, currently fourth in the standings with a 34-point gap separating the Iowa team from the top.
“Not the way we wanted the weekend to start, but like we’ve shown so many times in the past, we were able to recover and put up big numbers on Friday and Saturday,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, said. “Hats off to this entire team. Their ability to persevere never ceases to amaze us. Here’s to a big week ahead including a stop at Vado tomorrow night.”

Up and down Arizona visit for Brian Brown Racing; Vado and 81 Speedway all ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (March 23, 2026) - It was another
action-packed weekend in America’s southwest for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and
Brian Brown Racing, continuing their 2026 campaign with High Limit Racing’s
three-day Cactus Classic at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Arizona,
on March 19-21.
Brown, who’s been on the High Limit trail since their
Blackjack Bash season-opener in Vegas, highlighted his visit to the Grand
Canyon State with a 15th-place score on Thursday, battling through his
respective heat race before finishing sixth in the evening's dash.
Unfortunately, contact during the evening’s main event wreaked havoc for the
Grain Valley, Missouri, ace, ultimately forced to settle for the
aforementioned 15th-place finish.
“Definitely unloaded a faster Casey’s | FVP No. 21 in Arizona than in Las Vegas, the first night especially,” Brian Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, discussed. “Timed really well before racing through our heat race and finishing sixth in the dash. In the main, we got to third really quick, but unfortunately got turned around with some others getting involved. I felt we had a really strong run going, just unfortunate to get spun out and ending with a 15th-place finish.
“Our balance is just a little bit off yet,” Brown added. “Not quite where we need to be by the time the feature comes around. We’re working to fix that and inching closer towards it. We’re really looking forward to Vado, especially with a live broadcast on FS1. It’s a fantastic way for our partners to gain some extra exposure on live television. We don’t have the privilege to be on live television too often, but when the opportunity rises, we want to make sure we’re a part of the program.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with
High Limit Racing’s Midweek Series event at Vado Speedway Park on Tuesday,
March 24, followed by an World of Outlaws appearance at 81 Speedway in Park

New era of Michaels Mercer raceway presented by sunbelt rentals and Erme’s distributing/miller lite to begin with annual “Chiller thriller” Saturday March 28th.
By Jim Balentine
(Mercer, Pa)
A new era of michaels Mercer raceway which is celebrating it’s 75th anniversary season will kick into high gear next Saturday, March 28 with the annual running of the “chiller thriller” featuring the unsanctioned super late models in a $3000 to win event.. along with the Mercer Mercantile IMCA racesaver 305 sprints; top shelf trucking 602 dirt crate sportsman modifieds; the king forest products SCDRA mini stocks; and the crown Vic’s. Sunbelt rentals will return as a corporate sponsor as well as Erme’s distributing/miller lite.
The historic speedway which has been owned by the Michaels family since 2019 will now be in the hands of Earl and wife Michelle Michaels. The staff has been busy since the end of last season with massive upgrades to the facility and a different outlook for 2026 which will include at least 19 events.
The “chiller thriller” has been run as the opening night at Mercer since 2004 and it continues on in its 23RD year.
The super late models will be unsanctioned with an open tire rule and will follow the general guidelines of the local area late model tracks. The minimum weight will be 2300 lbs with driver. The crate late models will be permitted to run and must weigh 2200 lbs. It will pay $3000 to win and $250 to start. They will qualify for their heat race position.
There will be a $500 bonus for sweeping the chiller thriller and the ULMS show Sponsored by M&T Appliances in Bridgeville, PA.
The high horsepower full bodied machines have always put on a great show at the tricky Mercer oval with 3 abreast racing and with the red clay drivers will be racing top to bottom all around the speedway…and with no “home track advantage” it should be an exciting show to see who can be victorious in the event. A lot of buzz has already generated regarding this event with drivers showing interest from stateline, Eriez, Marion Center, Hummingbird, and Wayne county in Ohio as well as some drivers from Central Pennsylvania.
The super late models were at one time the class that opened
the season at the “chiller thriller” for many years. John Lee captured the
first super late model race since 2017 during last years chiller thriller.
Dave Hess Jr. won the super lm feature in April of 2017. Russell King took
the win in 2016. Gregg Satterlee-‘14, Rob Blair-‘13, and Mike Knight have
been the more recent winners.
Other late model drivers capturing wins at Mercer since 1994 are Dave
Scott-3; Keith Barbara -2; Alan Dellinger -2; Dick Barton -1; John mollick
-1; Nick Jones-1. The division also ran weekly for one season in 1974 when
both Canfield and Butler Speedway closed with Ralph Quarterson the lone
champion.
The IMCA racesaver 305. Sprints will have a new sponsor with Mercer Mercantile..Vivian Jones will return to defend her track championship. and more cars are scheduled to compete this year.
Top shelf trucking returns to sponsor the ever-growing 602 dirt crate sportsman modifieds. Last season’s championship came down to the very last lap of the season as Caden Petry picked up his first track title. There should be between 20 to 30 cars competing weekly at the speedway this season with no other track racing the division on Saturday nights.
King Forest products also returns as the sponsor for the SCDRA mini stocks for 2026. Last season Mercer veteran Andy Thompson captured another track championship. The division experienced some growing pains last year with the new rules and regulations however, this year should have an increased field each week.
The crown Vic’s, which were added last year to the schedule, will be back for the first of many shows as many tracks in the immediate area are now adding the division. last year drivers came as far as Hagerstown, Maryland to compete and hopefully a large car count will be there on Saturday night.
Pit gates will open at 4,
Grandstands will open at 5
Hot laps to begin at 6, with qualifying for the super late models and racing
to follow.
Grandstand admission will be $20, the new family pass with two adults up to three children under the age of 16 will be $35 and pits will be $35.
There will be an open practice Friday March 27th with a $20 pit admission. The grandstand will be closed. Pits open at 4 pm and practice will be from 5 pm-dark. It is open to any car from any speedway. Please bring your transponder number if it is different from last season to the practice.
There will be a one time $25 registration fee for the super late models and a one time $50 registration fee for all other divisions. Please bring the fee and the registration form found on the website and Facebook to the pit sign in when you pay for your pit pass at a separate window. Bring it to the Friday practice to avoid a delay on Saturday.

LIGUORI CHASES ANOTHER MUST SEE RACING TITLE IN 2026
March 20, 2026 - When three-time Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com champion Joe Liguori makes his 2026 debut, he will do so with a new team and new colors. Liguori will be chasing his fourth series title.
Liguori began driving for the Riverview, Florida based PCS Racing Team owned by Doug Kenny late last season. He ran a strong third place in the 2025 MSR finale at Montgomery, Alabama this past October to seal his third championship. With a little luck in that race, he may have had a shot to win it. The season ending weekend at Pensacola, Florida and Montgomery, Alabama was the first time Liguori had run for the team in MSR competition.
Things appear to be bright in 2026. Liguori has teamed up with the PCS Racing Team for an assault on the 2026 MSR championship.
“The last two years I never really focused on points” explains Liguori. “I just said we’re gonna run all the races. Halfway through the season is when we started points racing. I’ve tried points racing in the past at the start of the season and it kinda bit us in the tail one time. I don’t feel like having that pressure all year long. Lately I’ve just treated it like another race every time we pulled into the pits”.
Teaming up with Kenny may have increased Liguori’s chances at another title. The two are pooling their equipment together and Liguori will now have a backup car, if needed, for the MSR season that is spread over seven months.
“When it comes to equipment and funding this will probably be one of my best seasons in racing. We’ve run for other people, but at the end of the night, we always try to make sure the bills are paid. Then it’s a matter of who actually made money that night. Sometimes everybody comes down missing a little bit of money. That’s how it goes sometimes.
“This year with Doug and them, we feel like we’ve got the equipment. We have new engines in the process right now getting ready to get installed in the car for some races, and then we start the Must See Racing season. We’ll get Doug’s second car dialed in over the summer. We’ll have my car as a back-up. We’re very fortunate to be able to have three cars at our becking call.”
Liguori may not be thinking about it at the moment, but he’s slowing catching five-time MSR champion Jimmy McCune.
“I think if we get to the fifth championship, I’ll worry about trying to knock him off. But you never know. This year we may go out and never win another championship. The goal really is to just win races. I don’t think anybody will ever catch Jimmy on the wins list of forty plus wins. But it would be nice to get to the double-digit area”.
Liguori likes the 2026 MSR season but admits it’s challenging living in Indiana.
“Everything is still over four hours away from the house.
But that’s the way it goes. I live in Indiana and it’s more of a non-wing
area. The wing guys are always up north or down south. That’s what I get for
living in Indiana and wanting to be a wing guy. The schedule is spread out
enough where we can do other things. I plan on doing a few non-wing races
this year and the Race for the Million races.
“This year it will be a different look for us running the #5 for Doug Kenny
and the PCS Racing Team. Everything is in place for a good run. We’ll see
how the season plays out and we’ll try to get them a Must See Racing
championship this year” concluded Liguori.
Early Season Speed Boosting Eddie Tafoya’s Confidence – Perris This Saturday
Chino Hills, CA — March 19, 2026 — Due to some extra
early-season speed in 2026, veteran sprint car racer Eddie Tafoya Jr. is
enjoying a boost in confidence. The next test for the friendly driver will
come this Saturday night, March 21, when he competes with the Avanti Windows
and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Southern California’s Perris Auto
Speedway.
Through his first three races of 2026, Tafoya, who lives in Chino Hills, California, has qualified sixth, eighth, and seventh fastest. That has all boded well and given him and his team a boost in confidence. Those qualifying efforts, combined with good performances in his heat races (two wins and a third in his first three races), have turned into good starting positions in the main events.
“I feel really good, and pretty confident this year,” Tafoya said. “The car has been working good and the balance is good. It is a combination of preparation and experience. I am just relaxed and confident on what we have got. It has been pretty good and I am excited.”
While he has a boosted level of confidence early this season, the likeable racer still believes he has a bit of work to do.
“For sure, that is a big point I had to work on,” Tafoya said about qualifying. “I am always fast when it comes to race time. Every race this year, I have put myself in a better position. That is definitely a positive. I just have to keep doing the same thing. I have got to start strong and figure out the last 5% of the night. I am very excited and have a good base to build on.”
After starting on the pole in his first USAC/CRA race of the season at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, Tafoya led the first seven laps before finishing third.
Last week, he contested the first two nights of the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. On the first night, he started second and ran near the front for most of the race before slipping back to sixth at the end. Twenty-four hours later, he started seventh and finished sixth on a well-worn racetrack.
“It (the track) definitely got chewed up,” Tafoya recalled about the two nights in Vegas. “It was not ideal going out after the wing cars. It was pretty unique, I guess you could say. There were big pot holes, and you kind of had to figure out what you could go through or what you had to go around.”
“The top side and the bottom were way different,” he continued. “I would adjust for one, and the track would kind of move away from there. It was hard to stray away from where I had already adjusted to. I was kind of stuck with 10 to go, so I made the best of it.”
This week, instead of driving to Arizona or Nevada to compete, Tafoya will be racing at Perris, which is only 35 miles from his home. It is the same track where he won the PAS Young Guns title in 2018. It is also the track where he raced a 410 sprint car the first time in 2019, and the track he raced most often on when he won the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year title the same season.
“I feel good,” Tafoya confidently said about racing on his home track. “I feel I am in the best place coming into the start of the season that I have been in the last couple of years or so. I am kind of excited to see what kind of speed we have and what we can do.”
In 2025, Tafoya raced at Perris 10 times. He had eight top-10 finishes at the famous track. His best two outings were a fourth-place finish on September 15th and a fifth-place finish on June 21st.
Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris. For more information, visit the track website at [perrisautospeedway.com]perrisautospeedway.com or call 951-940-0134.

Cappetta Opens 2026 Season with Strong Runner-Up Finish
at Lincoln Speedway
By Emily Winslow
Abbottstown, PA – March 20, 2026
by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Ashley Cappetta kicked off her 2026 racing season in impressive fashion on Saturday, March 14, at Lincoln Speedway, with a second-place finish in the 358 Sprint Car division.
Despite an uncharacteristically low early-season car count, Cappetta and her team made the most of the opportunity, showing speed and consistency from the start of the night.
“We were a little surprised by the car count,” Cappetta said. “But it’s early in the season, it was cold, and not everyone is ready yet. We were just focused on making the most of what we had.”
While a hot lap experiment didn’t go as planned, she quickly rebounded, making the right adjustments for the remainder of the night. After a decent pill draw, Cappetta earned a strong feature starting position through her heat race performance.
“I knew after the heat race what we needed to change,” she said. “The car felt good, and I knew the track would get more challenging as the night went on.”
In the feature, Cappetta showcased both speed and composure, avoiding multiple incidents — including an early pileup and a close call with a spinning car — to remain in contention throughout the race.
“It was definitely intense,” Cappetta said. “There were a couple of really close moments that could have ended our night, but we were able to get through them.”
Battling near the front for the duration of the feature, Cappetta overcame a significant challenge as her brakes faded in and out, forcing her to adapt her driving style, especially on restarts.
“I didn’t have brakes consistently, which made it tough,” she explained. “Restarts were tricky, but in a way they helped because I could work the brakes and keep them somewhat there. On that kind of track, you really need them.”
Despite the setback, Cappetta held strong to secure a second-place finish — a result that carries extra meaning for both her and her team.
“It feels really good to start the season like this,” she said. “My dad puts a lot of work into this car, especially over the winter while I’m focused on my business. I was honestly just as happy for him as I was for myself.”
The strong opening night also carried emotional significance, as Cappetta dedicated the performance to her late grandmother.
“With everything going on, it meant a lot to have a run like that for her,” she added.
Off the track, Cappetta also expressed appreciation for the support shown at her annual preseason fundraiser, which saw a strong turnout despite a busy holiday weekend.
“We really appreciate everyone who came out,” she said. “It’s always great to kick off the season with the people who support us.”
Looking ahead, Cappetta plans to focus her 2026 schedule
primarily on Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, with additional
appearances at Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway.
ABOUT ASHLEY CAPPETTA
Ashley Cappetta is a second-generation racer following her uncle’s footsteps. She started her racing career in 2012. It was her first year piloting her race car but certainly not her first exposure to the sport. She was introduced to racing by her father, who was Steve Smith’s crew chief. Her uncle, Rob Cappetta was also involved in the sport driving his own #89 sprint car and went on to be a gasman for Robert Yates Racing. Ashley is making her own way by being the first female in her family to set center stage as a driver. Ashley has had a couple of years of sprint car experience with various teams, starting out as a crew member doing such simple tasks as scrapping mud to advancing her skills into doing maintenance for her own race car. Ashley showing her success with not only her abilities working on her race car but also by winning a Hard Charger Award in only her first season racing. Ashley feels she has the best of both worlds by not only knowing how to race but by having the knowledge of the mechanics and being able to provide detailed feedback to her team. Her goal is to continue to grow as a racer and work her way up through the sprint car division.

Kody Hartlaub Sets Sights on 2026 Success with New
Partners
York Haven, PA – March 19, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Kody Hartlaub kicked off his third season at the wheel of a winged 410 sprint car on Sunday at BAPS Motor Speedway. In 2024, the East Berlin, PA driver earned Rookie of the Year honors at both Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways. In 2025, he captured his first 410 victory at Williams Grove.
What does 2026 hold for the 30-year-old rising star of the sport? Time will tell, but odds are it will be worth watching.
NO RUST HERE
Hartlaub showed no signs of rust during Sunday’s opener at BAPS Motor Speedway, timing 4th in his group to get his night off to a strong start. Unfortunately, a mechanical issue in the heat race led to a DNF.
After making repairs, he was able to rebound in the B-Main, driving from 9th to 3rd to transfer into the 30-lap A-main. He continued to pass cars in the main event, driving from 20th to 13th to close out the night.
“We had a good car right out of the gate, so we feel good about all the work we put in over the winter. It felt good to bounce back by passing 13 cars in the B and the A to salvage our night.” Hartlaub commented.
“The car was good enough to be a top-five or top-ten car if we had not had the issue in the heat race, so we’ll take that, regroup this week, and get ready for Port Royal Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway next weekend. Huge thanks to the partners who make this possible.”

PLAN OF ATTACK
When asked about his goals for his third 410 season, Hartlaub’s sense of humor was front and center.
“Don’t suck,” he said with a laugh.
Hartlaub added that he and the team expect to run well at places they are familiar with and have logged many laps.
“We measure success based on being prepared and putting our best effort forward. If we use the notes and experience we have at the familiar tracks and we do our best each night, then we feel good. The results, the wins, will come if we do those things.” Harlaub explained.
Turning the conversation to the new places the team plans to visit in 2026, Hartlaub said the goal is simply to learn and make gains each time.
“Racing new tracks will make us better. It will challenge us to apply our experience to adapt and learn. We are really looking forward to that aspect of the season because we know it will help us continue to improve as a team to establish ourselves as a contender every time we unload.” Hartlaub shared.
Hartlaub will see plenty of familiar tracks and some new ones this season. The team plans to race in the new PA Posse 410 Sprint Series, PA Speedweek, and the regional World of Outlaws shows, bringing their schedule to nearly 60 races.

RACE FOR THE MILLION TO SUPPORT CHILDREN’S DREAM FUND
March 19, 2026 - Race For The Million founder Richard Fieler recently
announced that he intends to donate money from entries received for his
inaugural event at Five Flags Speedway to JJ Dutton’s efforts to raise money
for the Children’s Dream Fund Organization.
“The Race For The Million is pleased to announce that the Children’s Dream
Fund will be its official charity,” said Richard Fieler.” The Dream Fund is
closely affiliated with sprint car racing. Driver / owner JJ Dutton has made
that happen, and it is much appreciated.
“The fund will receive $25 from every entry from Race For The Million’s
Pensacola event. Currently there are 56 entries. We will present the money
at the Pensacola event to Dutton personality to go towards his goal of
raising additional money from his Children’s Dram Fund Weekend races in
October.
“I think JJ has done a good job and he’s putting some good races on at
Montgomery and Pensacola in the fall. People like his races and they go to
them and he’s able to raise money for the Children’s Dream Fund with them.
“Secondarily I think it’s a really good charity. We all go through it with
parents and grand parents with Cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and so forth.
You’re pretty much with no hope in those deals. It seems to prove true, but
not always. We see how hard that is for an adult to manage. For kids it must
be terribly difficult to manage. Theres nothing in their brain that’s taught
them how to manage it. For them to have something that gives them hope and
to do something totally outside of the box, is a marvelous gift to give
somebody” finished Fieler.
The Children’s Dream Fund Organization is a non-profit organization that
believes that every child facing a life-threatening illness deserves the
chance to dream, and to see that dream come true. Since 1981, they’ve
created joyful, personalized experiences for children across West Central
Florida, from dream vacations, celebrity meet-and-greets, to meaningful
gifts. Each dream offers a break from treatment, a boost of hope, and
lasting memories for families.
Dutton, whose daughter Sadie was once a Children’s Dream Fund recipient,
holds the organization near and dear to his heart. He annually promotes the
Children’s Dream Fund winged sprint car event with the goal of raising money
and bringing awareness to the organization. This year’s events will be part
of the Must See Racing visit October 2-3, 2026. at Five Flags Speedway and
Montogomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama.
“When I found out what Dick (Fieler) planned to do I realized how blessed we
are that he wanted to do that for us” stated Dutton. “He knows how important
that organization is to my heart. Dick’s a class act guy. I was excited for
the Dream Fund and the kids of the Dream Fund. They will get to experience a
good little vacation or get away with that money.
“It’s really great knowing all the drivers contributed to it. I wanna thank
all the drivers and Dick Fieler himself for this generous contribution. I
will be competing in this event myself. I might even have the Children’s
Dream Fund car that I will run in October on display that Weekend” concluded
Dutton.
The Race For The Million will hold its inaugural event in less than four
weeks at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida April 10. The four-race
series will continue throughout the summer with a total purse and points
fund of one million dollars. The series is the first of its kind to feature
substantial money for a winged pavement sprint car series.

SOONER STATE SENDOFF: Doney-Lawson Racing to open 2026 with World of
Outlaws double in Oklahoma
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 19, 2026
ODESSA, Mo. (March 19, 2026) – The time has come for Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars to open their 2026 campaign, and what a way it will begin. If all goes according to plan, and if Mother Nature stays calm, Odessa, Missouri’s Xavier Doney will open action with World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts at Lawton Speedway in Lawton, Oklahoma, and Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.
With much of their focus stapled to the 2026 POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League campaign, DLR will still make the time to dip and dive elsewhere, the aforementioned weekend included. In fact, Doney-Lawson Racing will return to the national-touring spotlight the following weekend, planning to rejoin the Greatest Show On Dirt in Missouri and Kansas, or with High Limit Racing during their stop in Dodge City.
The POWRi 410 schedule – a slate that the Doney Family is certainly no stranger to – will activate Easter Weekend, headlining a doubleheader at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday, April 3-4. Xavier Doney finished third in the POWRi standings in 2025, earning 19 top-ten finishes in 24 contests, two of which resulting in victory. Natalie Doney, ready to take on her second, full season in the seat of a 410 sprinter, finished 12th in the POWRi standings, working her way into 15 main events.
Natalie Doney, Xavier’s teammate and younger sister, will not participate in the team’s first two weekends of competition, launching her slate with POWRi in early April.
To learn more about the team’s upcoming starts at Lawton and Creek County, visit the World of Outlaws online at www.woosprint.com.
ON DECK:
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will launch
their 2026 season with back-to-back World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
starts at Lawton Speedway in Lawton, Oklahoma, and Creek County Speedway in
Sapulpa, Oklahoma, on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.

Solid Weekend: Tyler Ross Collects Podium and Top Five in
Pennsylvania
By mraddicted2dirt on Mar 17, 2026 10:25 am
York Haven, PA – March 17, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Following some opening day challenges at Lincoln Speedway’s Ice Breaker last month, Tyler Ross has rebounded for three consecutive solid runs of 7th, 3rd, and 5th in A-main competition to kick off the Central Pennsylvania sprint car season.
The opening weeks of Ross’s season continue the strong momentum he built in the closing month of the 2025 campaign.
A GOOD SIGN
Ross got right down to business Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Speedway by racing from his 3rd starting spot to a runner-up finish in his heat race to earn a spot in the redraw.
That effort paid off when he drew the pole for the 30-lap A-main. Ross took command at the drop of the green and held a comfortable lead throughout the first half of the race. Meanwhile, Freddie Rahmer was working his way into position to take a shot at the top spot.
Rahmer finally made his move for the lead in traffic on lap 16. Ross attempted to turn back under the No.51 but couldn’t get back by.
“I knew he (Rahmer) was coming. When you are leading, you don’t know where to run. I was making laps, trying to take the air off him or break his momentum, but he was just a little bit better than us late in the race.” Ross explained.
“It feels good to run well early in the season. Traditionally, we are slow starters. Hopefully, this is a sign of good things to come.”
“The first week at the Ice Breaker, we just weren’t sharp. It took all of us a week to get back in a rhythm and shake off the rust. The last few races we have been on point and having fun.”
STAYING STRONG
Ross continued to show speed the next day at BAPS Motor Speedway’s 410 sprint car opener, leading every lap and topping Lance Dewease and Anthony Macri to take the win from the pole of his heat race.
From the 5th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main, Ross was racey again, climbing to 3rd by lap 14. He held a firm grip on the podium spot until late in the race. He slipped back two spots in the final four laps but was able to bring home a top-five finish.
“The car went away a little late in the race, but with some fine-tuning, we will be ok.” Ross shared.
“We are happy to be up front running with the teams we know we are capable of running with. We are a small, family-owned team, and we are right there with the guys who do this for a living. We are going to keep digging and putting ourselves in position to win, and the wins will come.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Ross’s 2026 season schedule will likely mirror last year’s, with a primary focus on Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, while also venturing to Grandview, Bridgeport, and Port Royal on occasion.
Fans should follow “Ross Racing 5” on Facebook to keep up
with schedule updates and news throughout Tyler’s season!

POWRi Championship Contenders and Early-Season Standouts Target Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Debut
Belleville, IL. (3/18/26) - The POWRi National and West Midget Leagues continue building early-season momentum entering the highly anticipated debut of the Lil Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, presented by Milestone Home Services, with pre-entry interest stacking the bill of top-notch competitors heading to the DFW area on March 19-21.
Teams will get their first look at the facility with a practice session on Thursday, followed by two full points-paying events on Friday and Saturday that could play an early role in shaping the championship landscape.
With the season beginning to take form, several drivers enter the weekend firmly in the early POWRi National points conversation, including the defending league champion Jacob Denney, the Keith Kunz Motorsports standout already having notched a pair of feature wins on the year and sitting comfortably in second place in the standings.
Keeping pace amongst the yearly front-runners, former POWRi Micro Champion Kale Drake currently sits fourth in the yearly standings as 2023 National Midget Champion Karter Sarff circles inside the current top five after impressive showings at Port City.
A strong group of drivers continues to apply pressure in the standings as the POWRi Midget Leagues head to Texas, including Keith Kunz Motorsports teammate Gavin Miller alongside Colton Robinson, each remaining within reach of the points pinnacle as the championship battle begins to take shape.
Proving the strength of the POWRi National Midget rookie of the year class, Chase McDermand Racing unloads a pair of front-running first-years, including Drew Sherman and Mack Leopard, as Overland Park, Kansas wheelman Hank Soares and Nesbit, Mississippi talent Chase Howard join the 2-Fellas Racing stable in the Texas debut.
The weekend also presents a prime opportunity for drivers seeking to gain ground early in the season, including Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Brody Wake, Ryan Padgett, and Ethan Mitchell, each aiming to capitalize on the two-night format.
Additional entries continue to round out the competitive field, including Cullen Hutchison, who will campaign the full POWRi season in the Sam Johnson Racing entry as he looks to make an early-season impression in national midget competition.
Consistency across multiple nights will be key at a new venue, placing added importance on POWRi West Midget League drivers such as two-time champion Andrew Felker, current point leader Kyle Jones, Cooper Miller, Pierce Urbanosky, eleven-time victor Trey Marcham, and Brylee Kilmer, who continue to look for strong weekends to climb the order of competition.
Adding even more names to the entrant list for 2026, POWRi National and West Midget Leagues will welcome the addition of a trio of Kevin Ramey Racing drivers, with Dylan Ramey and Chance Crum making their season debuts, as well as Rylan Gray joining forces with the team for the Texas two-step weekend.
Key Storylines Heading to Texas
The upcoming weekend also carries historical significance as the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues make their debut at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, marking the first time the series has competed at the Texas Motor Speedway facility. The event also signals a return to the Lone Star State for the series for the first time since 2021, bringing national-level midget competition back to Texas in front of a new audience.
With a new venue comes added intrigue, as teams will work quickly during Thursday’s practice session to adapt to the unique characteristics of the freshly prepared dirt surface before two championship-paying nights begin on Friday and Saturday. Track position, adaptability, and consistency across both nights will likely prove crucial in determining who leaves Texas with momentum in the early-season standings.
Another developing storyline centers around the championship picture, as several drivers currently positioned near the top of the POWRi National standings will not be in attendance, opening the door for others to gain valuable ground in the points race. With multiple contenders capable of capitalizing on the opportunity, the Texas weekend could play a major role in shaping the early championship outlook.
Drivers to Watch
Jacob Denney enters the weekend as one of the early favorites, already claiming two feature victories this season and sitting second in POWRi National points. The Keith Kunz Motorsports standout has quickly established himself as one of the drivers to beat whenever the green flag drops.
Kale Drake continues to build momentum in the RMS Racing entry after a consistent start to the year, positioning himself firmly inside the championship conversation.
Former POWRi National Midget Champion Karter Sarff remains another strong contender, carrying early-season speed into the Texas weekend with Trifecta Motorsports.
Representing the depth of the Keith Kunz Motorsports lineup, Gavin Miller will look to continue climbing the standings with another strong performance as the young driver gains experience at the national level.
On the POWRi West side, current point leader Kyle Jones enters the weekend aiming to translate his early-season momentum into results against the combined National and West fields.
Veteran competitor Trey Marcham, an eleven-time POWRi winner, also remains a driver to watch as his experience and consistency make him a threat whenever the series visits new venues.
Drivers such as Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Ryan Padgett, Ethan Mitchell, and Cullen Hutchison will also look to capitalize on the two-night format while attempting to gain valuable ground early in the championship standings.

“We’re focusing on quality over quantity,” he said. “We want to do the best we can when we show up. We’ll go to each race with the intention of being as fast as we can and growing our program. I’m optimistic about this season.”
Scelzi enters the season riding an 11-year winning streak, including multiple triumphs during each of the last nine seasons.

Tribute to Al Hinds christens new Placerville season on Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is prepared to open its 61st season of competition this Saturday by honoring a man that had a key role in making it all possible, with the 23rd annual “Tribute to Al Hinds” tackling the red clay.
Divisions set to christen the Berco Building Materials/ Hoosier Tires championship season on March 21st will include the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks, Ltd. Late Models and the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints.

Live music and Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour takes place from 4-6pm, while magician/ juggler Cody Ebert will be on hand to entertain the masses from 4:30-6pm.
The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many.
Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. He took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field.
The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life, he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport.
The inaugural Tribute to Al Hinds was captured by Roger Crockett, while last season saw Andy Forsberg snag his fourth triumph in the event.
Track champions last season with the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks and Ltd. Late Models included Modesto’s Tony Gomes, Oakley’s Nick Baldwin and Yuba City’s Rod Oliver respectively.
Livermore’s Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories last season. The division will be on hand several times once again this year.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during the Tribute to Al Hinds will be General Admission on Saturday March 21st, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.

Andy Forsberg Back In Marysville Raceway Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making a return trip to Marysville, CA on Saturday night to shake down a new engine the team acquired over the off season that they still aren’t happy with, the engines still hounded the team but Forsberg was able to grab his third win of the season.
“We have this engine we picked up that we just can’t quite get figured out,” Andy Forsberg said. “We came back up here to try and get it ironed out and everything we tried doesn’t seem to help or hurt it, so it’s been a bit frustrating, but it was a fun night of racing and great to get another win for this group.”
With 17 cars checked into the pit area on Saturday night, Forsberg timed the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply No. 92 in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver worked his way to a second place finish which again put him in the nightly redraw. Finally having a bad draw in 2026, the five pill placed Forsberg in the third row for the start of the feature event.
When the ‘A’ went green, Forsberg worked his way in fourth right away as he was patient in a race that saw quite a few stoppages. Working his way into third on the 12th lap, Forsberg jumped into second two laps later and began to pressure Billy Wallace for the race’s top spot.
In traffic, Forsberg was able to make his move on the 20th lap, as he took the lead and never looked back. Leading the rest of the way, Forsberg was able to secure his third win of the season in just his team’s fifth start.
“Like I said, with the engine issues we are trying to diagnose, this team worked hard all night long,” Forsberg said. “After the races we were able to make a few laps with a new tank and we think that was our issue, but wont know for sure until we get back racing.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 5, Wins-3, Top 5’s-4, Top 10’s-5

Non Wing Runner Up Highlights Las Vegas, NV Trip for Tanner Carrick
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making the trip to Las Vegas, NV to do double duty with USCS
and High Limit over the weekend, Tanner Carrick picked up a pair of Non-Wing
top five finishes and made some big improvements on their winged car from
last year’s trip.
“We had a great non winged car all weekend,” Tanner Carrick
said. “Our winged car we were a little off, but we were in a much better
spot than we were last year so that was definitely a positive.”
In non winged action on Thursday night, Carrick timed in
fastest in his qualifying flight, which then put him in the third row of his
heat race. From the fifth starting spot, Carrick was able to showcase his
speed as he worked his way forward and tallied a heat race win.
Lining up fourth in the feature event, Carrick spent his
night battling the likes of Ryan Bernal, Brady Bacon, and Ricky Lewis as the
leaders sliced and diced around the tricky surface.
When the race drew to a close, Carrick closed it out with a
fourth-place finish.
In High Limit action on Thursday night, Carrick got off to a
slower start than he desired as he timed in 15th fastest in his qualifying
flight and ran seventh in his heat.
Forced into the ‘B’, Carrick worked his way forward from
seventh and secured the fourth and final transfer position into the feature
event. Starting 24th, Carrick wasn’t able to get going from the tail of the
field and finished 24th on this night.
Friday night saw another night of double-duty for the
Lincoln, CA driver and he continued to shine in non-wing action as he timed
in fourth fastest in his qualifying group and again raced his way to a heat
race win.
Lining up on the front row of the USCS feature event,
Carrick jumped out to the early lead and looked very strong out front. While
he led the way, behind him Ryan Bernal was closing in. Able to fend off
Bernal for a few laps, Carrick coughed up the lead with 10-to-go.
Slipping back into second, Carrick would chase after Bernal
though he wasn’t able to close in on him as he capped the non-wing portion
of the trip with a second-place finish.
Friday in High Limit action, Carrick got off to a much
better start than he did on Thursday as he timed in ninth fastest in time
trials, and pocketed a fifth-place finish in heat race competition.
Transferring directly into the feature event, Carrick lined
up 18th on the starting grid. Jumping into 16th as soon as the race came to
life, Carrick settled into and worked around the slick surface.
Holding the spot all race long, Carrick closed his night out
with a 16th place finish.
With the non-wing division not on Saturday’s schedule,
Carrick was solely in action with High Limit as he got the night kicked off
by timing in eighth fastest in time trials.
Again, finishing fifth in his heat, Carrick moved into the
feature event where he ended up with an 18th place finish.
“It was a busy weekend, and I am thankful for everyone that
made it possible,” Carrick noted. “Happy with the progress we made in the
winged car, and looking forward to our CA schedule starting to ramp up.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California
Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson
Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A
Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 8, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 3, Top 10’s: 4
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick will be idle this weekend before
returning to action on the 28th in Tulare, CA.

(March 16, 2026) – Two events in Posse Country concluded with back-to-back top-tens for Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, continuing action with visits to Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, March 14-15. “Double-D,” who claimed the Central PA points championship in 2025, finished seventh and sixth in the weekend pair, now with three top-tens on the season.
Pennsylvania’s March slate will continue with another doubleheader weekend, this time featuring back-to-back PA Posse Sprint Series starts at Port Royal Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, March 21-22.
“We’re feeling better and better…this is probably the best I’ve felt all season,” Danny Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, said. “These multi-race weekends help.

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (March 16, 2026) – Although his season’s first start on American soil ended shy of expectation, scored 16th in Saturday’s visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall is already back in focus, set to kick-off the PA Posse Sprint Series with a doubleheader at Port Royal Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, March 21-22.

“Feels good to get some laps in at Lincoln. The end result wasn’t what we were after, but we were able to shake some things down and do a little prep work for Port Royal,” Justin Whittall said. “More than ready to get back to the ‘Speed Palace.’ We were fortunate to win a championship there last year and we’re positive momentum will be on our side.”

Scotty Thiel sets compass for Oklahoma

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (March 16, 2026) – The “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports are heading for Oklahoma, ready to rejoin the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in a two-day invasion, all of which beginning Friday, March 20, in Lawton Speedway’s Sooner Stampede. From there, the Greatest Show On Dirt will move to Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, on Saturday, March 21. The Creekadega 40 will feature the Outlaws at Creek County for the first time.
Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports will roll into Oklahoma fresh off of a visit to Kennedale Speedway Park in Kennedale, Texas. The Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native finished 17th the first night; Saturday’s finale was eventually postponed due to a fatal incident involving a Series official.
“First and foremost, our hearts are with everyone at Kennedale, as well as the World of Outlaws. What happened was tragic, as well as heartbreaking, and we’re praying for everyone affected,” Thiel was quick to note. “All we can do is keep our heads up and keep powering forward. We’ll work towards a fresh start on Friday at Lawton.”

Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (3/16/26). This weekend the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Dirt Track will light up for the first time ever to host the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League with the running of the Texas Motor Speedway Midget Nationals, held Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st. Current weather forecasts show dry and warm weather conditions throughout the event weekend.
Advance online ticket sales are available by clicking https://www.powri.com/schedule/?i=31369 and there you can select which night(s) you would like to purchase advance tickets, or pit passes for.

In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself is attracting the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Since last week’s update, a pair of Indiana drivers (Rylan Gray and Tony
Helton), and a Kansas driver (Hank Soares) have joined the list of Midget
drivers that plan to compete in this event.
Drivers can get registered by emailing Talin at talin@t2promotions.net
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS plus several national invaders, as there are very few other midget and non-winged events scheduled nationally this particular weekend.

A large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. More driver entries are expected when race night kicks off.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
The current weather forecast shows a dry period this week and temps around 90°, which will make for stellar racing and viewing.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).

O'Gara Aims to Return to Victory Lane in 2026
As the yourBigPlans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour prepares for another competitive season, Kyle O'Gara and the No. 67 team have spent the offseason focused on one simple objective: getting back to Victory Lane.
For O’Gara, the winter months have been anything but quiet. The team has essentially started from scratch in preparation for the upcoming season.
“It’s been a rebuilding year,” O’Gara said. “Everything from the car, ground up, was a fresh rebuild. The engine is still at the engine builder after we hurt it at the last IRP race. We’re heading into the season as fresh as possible with every bit of our team.”
While the car is being refreshed, much of the work has
centered on preparation and development. Crew chief Brad Larson has been
busy refining the team’s chassis and working through new shock packages as
the team looks to find even more speed in 2026.
Strong Performance Despite Tough Luck
On paper, the 2025 season may not reflect the true performance of the No. 67 team.
“On paper it looked like our worst year ever with the 500 Sprint Car Tour,” O’Gara explained. “But realistically, if you take a couple part failures out of it, I think we had a championship year going.”
Mechanical issues repeatedly disrupted what could have been a breakthrough season. Despite that misfortune, O’Gara still managed several standout performances, including a podium finish in the prestigious Unified Group Services Little 500 along with four additional podium runs during the season.
“We just couldn’t get away from the gremlins,” O’Gara said.
“But I thought it was our best on-track performance that we’ve ever had.”
Breakthrough Moments in Michigan
Several of those strong runs came during the Michigan swing, including an impressive showing at Owosso Speedway. The race marked the first time non-wing sprint cars competed at the facility, and O’Gara’s team came prepared.
“We came off the trailer firing on all cylinders and went quick time,” O’Gara said. “That was our first ever pole with the 500 Tour.”
After starting near the front, O’Gara quickly worked his way into second place and pressured race winner Tyler Roahrig late in the race.
“We really had a great long-run car,” O’Gara said. “We just kept getting yellows at the wrong time.”
Despite the runner-up finish, O’Gara left impressed with the facility and eager to return.
“That was an incredible place and a great racetrack,” he said.
Another track where the team made noticeable gains was Berlin Raceway. O’Gara remembers his first visit to the high-banked oval as a difficult experience.
“Our first race there we ran eighth or ninth and were a lap down,” O’Gara said. “I had never been more miserable in a race car.”
Since then, the team has steadily improved. O’Gara has now scored multiple podium finishes at Berlin and believes the gap to the front continues to shrink.
“To go from being a lap down to having eyes on the 56 car (Tyler Roahrig) at the end of the race shows how much progress we’ve made,” he said.
Still, the team isn’t satisfied.
“We’re getting closer, but we’re not winning races there
yet. So we still have work to do.”
Focus Shifts to Winning
For 2026, O’Gara and Larson have made a conscious decision to simplify their goals.
“We have to get the 67 car back to Victory Lane,” O’Gara said. “Brad and I have talked a lot about that this offseason. We’re putting the championship out of our minds and focusing on wins.”
While one victory would be satisfying, O’Gara believes the team is capable of more.
“I’d be happy with one win,” he said. “But I’d be frustrated if we only got one. With the package we have and the people around us, I think we can win multiple races.”
O’Gara also admits his driving style has evolved over the years. Experience, particularly at Anderson Speedway has helped transform him into a more assertive racer.
“I feel like I’m pretty aggressive nowadays,” he said. “If there’s a hole in front of me, I’m going to take it. We don’t go to the racetrack to run second.”
Part of what makes those wins so difficult is the depth of talent across the tour.
“The competition level just keeps increasing,” O’Gara said.
Drivers like Kody Swanson, Bobby Santos III, Dakoda Armstrong, and Roahrig headline a field that O’Gara believes features as many as eight potential winners every race.
“I think there are six to eight cars that can win any
night,” he said. “That just shows how strong the competition is.”
Earning Respect
During the tour’s media day, drivers were asked to vote for the most underrated competitor in the series. O’Gara finished tied with rising driver Jackson Macenko.
For O’Gara, the recognition means a lot.
“I just hope it means we have the respect around the pit area that I think we deserve,” he said. “We’ve proven ourselves over the years, but we still have a long way to go.”
With a rebuilt car, renewed focus, and plenty of motivation, the No. 67 team enters the 2026 season determined to turn strong performances into the one result that matters most.
Victory Lane.

Brown with tough luck in Vegas trio, to follow High Limit to Central Arizona
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (March 16, 2026) - Brian Brown and Brian
Brown Racing rolled into Sin City with high hopes and big goals, but
unfortunately, it was all tough luck for “Blackjack” in High Limit Racing’s
2026 season opener at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, qualifying
for one of three main events contested.
Dubbed the Blackjack Bash, the three-day contest featured
some of the nation’s most talented open wheel aces, all of whom chasing the
$21,000 payday up for grabs Saturday night. Despite the aforementioned tough
luck, scored 24th in his only A-Main appearance of the weekend, the Grain
Valley, Missouri, native and multi-time Knoxville Raceway Track Champion is
eager and ready to continue, set to rejoin High Limit for three days in
Arizona.
“Just a rough weekend all the way around in Vegas. We had
high hopes heading into the event, especially when considering our past
results. We were confident in our game plan, hoping we would unload really
close to where we needed to be. Unfortunately, we were just a little off all
weekend. Getting buried after qualifying can hurt your effort in a hurry,”
Brian Brown, ace of the Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane
Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer,
Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 said. “But, that’s the great thing about
racing…done on Saturday, but you get to try again on Thursday. We’re going
to take what we learned and put our best foot forward. The season is young,
and we’ve had some solid results thus far, we just need to make sure we go
over the car and be fully ready when we head into Casa Grande.
“We’d also like to send out our most heartfelt condolences
to the family of Billy Hurt, who lost his life in a tragic accident at
Kennedale Speedway while responding to an accident, as well as Jerry, a
World of Outlaws official who was also hurt in the same incident at
Kennedale,” Brown added. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those families.
Those guys put their life on the line to keep us safe and they can never be
thanked enough.”

Adapting and Improving: Lattomus on His 2026 Racing Plans
Lewes, DE – March 13, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus closed out his rookie 410 sprint car campaign last season by making his first High Limit Racing and World of Outlaws features at Bridgeport and New Egypt in New Jersey, then returned to familiar turf in Pennsylvania to record a top-ten finish in Lincoln Speedway’s Final 50.
In 2026, he returns for his sophomore season, aiming to continue that momentum, once again at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91.
THE FOCUS
Lattomus is approaching the 2026 season with continued improvement in mind. To do that, he plans to use a formula that has worked for him at every level he has competed at on his way up to 410 sprint cars.
The Lewes, DE driver has always challenged himself by running a variety of tracks and racing against the best competition he can find.
The team will make the PA Posse Sprint Series a primary focus, but also plans to do some traveling.
“The PA Posse series will keep us moving around to a lot of different tracks, but we are also looking at following the Outlaws and High Limit on their New York swings, hitting part of Ohio Speedweek, and maybe adding a couple of trips to Lernerville Speedway in Western, PA,” Lattomus explained.
“I think racing at a variety of tracks helps me shorten the learning curve when I get in a new race car. It helps me learn more about the car, what it needs, and how to drive it compared to running the same track every week.”
Some may agree, some may disagree with his thinking, but there’s no arguing that it has worked for him at every level of racing so far in his young career.
The tentative schedule for the 19-year-old Lattomus and team will take them to at least four or five different regions and numerous tracks in pursuit of seat time and experience.
THE GOALS
The schedule and the venues will provide the opportunities, but what are the things Lattomus and his team will aim for to continue to improve?
“One of the big things we talked about in our meetings over the winter was communications.” Lattomus shared.
“These cars were new to me last year. The difference from 358 sprint cars was enough that sometimes I wasn’t sure how the car should feel, so it was hard for me to explain to Kyle (Reinhardt) and the guys what I needed. I got a lot better as the season went on, and I need to continue that this year. We agreed we can all do better and that will be a key to getting to the next level.”
Lattomus plans to focus on improving his qualifying efforts as a foundational piece of reaching the team’s goals.
“We have a lot of big races on the schedule, and your qualifying laps are the key to those nights. We want to put ourselves in a position to compete from the beginning of the night.” Lattomus said.
“The competition is too tough to dig out of an early hole from a poor qualifying effort.”
Another goal the team has is more consistency. It sounds cliché, and of course, it’s something every team strives for, but it’s true that consistency is key. Better qualifying efforts and improved communications are a great first step toward achieving consistency, but Lattomus knows part of the formula also involves improved decision-making behind the wheel. He believes that goes hand-in-hand with gaining experience, something he clearly showed to be true late in 2025 after he had a lot more laps under his belt.
Lattomus has his sights set on continuing to make more ‘big shows’ as he did late in 2025. He also believes he and his team are capable of finding victory lane at least once in 2026.
“I know we have the equipment to win, and I know I’m capable. If we keep doing the work, it will come. I believe in my team and in myself.” Lattomus commented.

Collie Scores Career-Best Second For Sexton Gatlin Racing At Imperial
SGR rebounds from opening night setbacks; Brent Sexton and son Grant headed to Las Vegas for USCS opener
Lakeside, CA — March 10, 2026 — After a difficult start to the weekend for Sexton Gatlin Racing, sophomore lightning sprint car driver Braydin Collie delivered the team’s best result of the weekend with his career-best second-place finish in Saturday’s 20-lap California Clash main event at Imperial Valley Raceway.
This week, the focus shifts to Nevada as Brent Sexton and his youngest son, Grant Sexton, head to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Thursday and Friday for the season-opening races of the Ultimate Sprint Car Series.
Last week, SGR brought four drivers and three cars to the famed Imperial Valley Raceway in southeast California. The plan called for Brent Sexton and Collie to race their own cars both nights, while Brent’s oldest son Dalton would drive the team’s third car on Friday with Grant scheduled to take over on Saturday.
Unfortunately, Dalton’s night ended early on Friday due to a chain issue. Things started much better for Collie and Brent, who qualified ninth and 12th respectively in the 19-car field. The outlook improved even more in their eight-lap heat race when Brent drove to victory with Collie finishing second.
For the 20-lap main event, Brent started on the pole with Collie rolling off seventh. Brent quickly settled into second while Collie held position in seventh. The race remained steady until lap nine when Collie tipped over in turn two. The young driver was uninjured, but the beautiful #44 machine was finished for the night.
Sexton appeared headed for a runner-up finish until lap 14 when his car suddenly puffed smoke, forcing him out of the race. Brent was ultimately credited with a 10th-place finish while Collie was scored 13th.
Twenty-four hours later, Sexton and Collie returned for round two with a new teammate joining the lineup. Rising star Braden Chiaramonte climbed aboard the team’s #3C entry.
Collie led the SGR trio in qualifying with the third-fastest time in the 18-car field. Chiaramonte qualified sixth and Sexton ninth. The team again performed well in the heat race competition. For the second night in a row, Brent won his heat race with Collie right behind in second. Chiaramonte placed third in his heat.
In the smoother-running 20-lap feature, Collie and Sexton started side-by-side in row two while Chiaramonte lined up 10th. Chiaramonte quickly became one of the race’s biggest stories, passing five cars on the opening lap to move into fifth. Within six laps, he had advanced all the way to second.
On lap seven, Chiaramonte secured second place and began chasing the leader. For four laps the pair battled for the top spot, thrilling the fans before a yellow flag slowed the action on lap 14. Just as the fight for the lead was set to resume, the caution came back out when a car slowed on the restart. Unfortunately, it was Chiaramonte. An electrical issue sidelined the #3C and ended his night with a disappointing 15th-place finish.
Despite the setback, Sexton Gatlin Racing remained in contention. Chiaramonte’s misfortune elevated Collie to second with seven laps remaining. The Lakeside driver pressured the leader all the way to the finish and secured his best result yet in lightning sprint competition.
Sexton crossed the line in seventh, an improvement of three positions from the night before.
Heading into the next California Lightning Sprint Car Series race at Ventura Raceway on March 21st, Collie sits sixth in the championship standings while Sexton is tied for eighth.
Before that event, Brent and Grant Sexton will compete Thursday and Friday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the opening rounds of the 2026 Ultimate Sprint Car Series season. Fans unable to attend can watch both nights live on FloRacing.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2026 season.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Makes First Las Vegas Motor Speedway Appearance This Week
Chino Hills, CA — March 10, 2026 — After one of the most
impressive performances of his career two weeks ago, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will
make his first-ever appearance at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Thursday
and Friday, March 12 and 13. Tafoya will compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car
Series 2026 season openers. The event will run in conjunction with the High
Limit Series openers, and both nights will be available on FloRacing.

The visit to the oval located just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip will see Tafoya racing on the biggest track he has competed on since a trip to Northern California for the reopening of the Calistoga Speedway last Labor Day weekend. Prior to that in 2025, he raced at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park with the USAC National Sprint Car Series 13 months ago. Like those two tracks, Las Vegas is much larger than the tracks Tafoya normally competes on.
For the 28-year-old Tafoya, it will be only his second and third races since finishing the 2025 campaign at Perris Auto Speedway last November. Two weeks ago at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, the Chino Hills, California resident shook off any winter rust he may have had with one of his best sprint car performances.
At Mohave, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion and the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year timed in sixth fastest among the 22 cars on hand for the second race of the USAC/CRA season. He then came from fifth to win his 10-lap heat race.
In the 30-lap main event, Tafoya rocketed into the lead at the drop of the green flag and paced the field for the first seven laps before relinquishing the top spot. At the halfway point, he had slipped back to fourth and was battling to remain inside the top five.
Not to be deterred, Tafoya got his elbows up and found a sweet spot on the low line of the track. Competing against some of the toughest hombres west of the Mississippi, he drove his way back to second place. In the end, he slipped back one position to finish third. It was one of the toughest races of his career on the West Coast, and he passed the challenge with flying colors.
Tafoya will have little time to rest after this week’s races. A week from Saturday, March 21, he will compete with the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway.
Eddie Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at eddietafoya51.
Team Tafoya Racing would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season. If you would like to join forces with the team for another fun and exciting year of racing in 2026, please contact Tafoya at Eddie Tafoya Jr. at (909) 393-3999 or mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com

Jeff Dyer Gets Win at Imperial Valley Raceway – Las Vegas This Week
Yucca Valley, CA — March 11, 2025 — Jeff Dyer notched his
first win of the 2026 campaign when he scored a commanding victory in Round
#1 of the California Lightning Sprint Cars/SoCal Lightning Sprints
“California Clash” at the Imperial Valley Raceway. One night later, he
finished eighth in Round #2. This week, he will race Thursday and Friday,
March 11th and 12th, in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series season openers at the
Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
After qualifying eighth to open the lightning sprint portion of his schedule last Friday night, Dyer won his eight-lap heat race. That earned him the fourth starting spot in the scheduled 20-lap main event.
It did not take California Highway Patrol officer Dyer long to work his way into the lead. Using the outside line, he was in second place by the end of the first circuit. Two laps later, he drove around the outside of the leader and moved away to a comfortable lead.
Dyer stayed in the lead for the duration. That included six restarts caused by on-track chaos that necessitated yellow and red flags. Every time the green track lights came back on, Dyer simply drove away from the pack. However, it was not necessarily easy.
“We had a really good car,” Dyer commented. “All of my offseason stuff sort of came to fruition. I did not realize how fast I was until I watched the video. It is kind of frustrating with all of those yellows and reds. It kind of messes up your momentum. Sometimes lapped traffic can allow you to pull away a little more, but sometimes it can hurt you, too.”
Twenty-four hours later on the same track, things did not work out quite as well. He timed in second quick of the 18 cars on hand but started and finished fourth in his heat. In a frustrating main event, he started ninth and finished eighth.
“Saturday, we started off good,” Dyer lamented. “But it was a completely different track on Saturday than it was on Friday. I had a good car, but I did not do very good in my heat race. It was a points format. I did not pass anyone in my heat. So, I had to start ninth in the main.”
“It was just hard to pass on a one-lane track,” he said when thinking about the main. “Every time I would get some spots, I would do something stupid and lose two spots. I kept going forward and backward. It looked like there was some stuff on top, but every time you went up there, it was like driving on ice.”
Dyer came out of the weekend second in both the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and the California Clash Series points, only 17 points behind the leader. His next chance to slice into the leader’s advantage in the CLS regular season standings will come on March 21st at Ventura Raceway. For the California Clash Series, that opportunity will come on August 29 at Perris Auto Speedway.
This week, with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series in Las Vegas, Dyer will tackle the biggest track on which he has ever raced. Basically, he will set up the car as he does for Perris and adjust from that point on.
In 2026, the following marketing partners will help keep Dyer on track: Amsoil Oil Twins, Jobu Racing, Fonseca Racing, and Specialty Fasteners. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2026, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.
Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and
Beverly Sels, throughout the 2026 season.

Tanner Carrick Runs Second At Silver Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA: Traveling to Chico, CA over the weekend to take part in the Silver Cup, Tanner Carrick bounced back from on track issues early on Friday night and recorded a second-place finish on Saturday night after leading much of the feature event.
“Friday night we got ran over early in the night and it pretty much dictated our finish, and on Saturday night we were really good, but traffic got tricky and it ended up letting Austin Wood get by,” Tanner Carrick said.
Timing in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials, Carrick was in prime position to contend for a Dash spot as he lined up on the front row of his heat race. Issues in the heat saw Carrick finish in the sixth spot which placed him 18th on the feature event starting grid on a very hooked up and fast surface.
Battling hard on the hooked-up surface, Carrick’s night came to an early end as he was credited with an 11th place finish.
Back in action on Saturday night, Carrick came out extremely fast as he timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in Sixth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Starting on the pole of his heat race, Carrick was not to be denied on this night as he powered to the win again on a very hooked up and fast Silver Dollar Speedway surface.
Pulling the one pill in the Dash draw, Carrick continued to flex his muscle on the lightning-fast surface as he powered to the Dash win and earned the pole for the 30-lap Silver Cup feature event.
When the green flag was displayed, Carrick continued to showcase the same speed he had all night as he jumped into early lead. Out front, Carrick quickly reeled in the back of the field as he began the lapping process and spent much of his race running through traffic.
Looking very strong out front, lap 17 saw him take evasive action in traffic and as he did so, it opened the door for Austin Wood to race by him. Slipping back to second, Carrick was unable to get back by Wood and went on to close his weekend out with a second-place finish.
“Bummed we couldn’t come away with a win, but happy to have really good speed all weekend,” Tanner Carrick said. “Big thanks to Clark and my guys for always working so hard.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 3, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 1, Top 10’s: 2
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick is now set to head to Las Vegas, NV and compete in winged and non-winged action this Thursday-Saturday.

Star-Studded Entry List Takes Shape for POWRi Turnpike Challenge Presented by Milestone Home Services
One of the deepest entry lists in Turnpike Challenge history is preparing to battle across Creek County Speedway and Port City Raceway.
Belleville, IL. (3/11/26) - Continuing as the seasonal-opening staple of POWRi National and West Midget League competition, the Thirteenth Annual Turnpike Challenge presented by Milestone Home Services returns to a pair of familiar Sooner State venues this week. The event begins with a single-night stop at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa on Thursday, March 12, before shifting north to Port City Raceway for back-to-back nights of racing on Friday and Saturday, March 13–14.
With 40+ entries expected, the field for the 13th Annual Turnpike Challenge is shaping up to be one of the deepest and most competitive editions in event history.
The Turnpike Challenge has grown into one of the most anticipated early-season events on the schedule, regularly attracting a blend of championship contenders, rising rookies, and standout regional competitors.

• Depth of the Field — With more than forty expected entries featuring national contenders, experienced regional standouts, and a wave of rising rookies, the Turnpike Challenge once again showcases one of the most competitive early-season lineups in POWRi competition.
Notable Entries
A strong mix of national contenders, proven winners, and rising stars are expected to headline the Turnpike Challenge entry list.

The always potent Keith Kunz Motorsports stable will be represented by four-time POWRi winner Gavin Miller alongside reigning Rookie of the Year Colton Robinson, both capable of striking early during the Oklahoma swing.
Fresh off a preliminary night victory at the Chili Bowl Nationals, Oklahoma standout Blake Hahn brings the home-state advantage and strong fan support that comes with racing in his backyard.
Returning to POWRi competition, four-time feature winner Kevin Thomas Jr. adds another nationally recognized contender to the entry list while Hayden Reinbold, a two-time POWRi feature winner, continues to build momentum entering the new season.
Former POWRi champion Karter Sarff joins Trifecta Motorsports in a pairing expected to be among the most consistent contenders throughout the 2026 championship chase, while Kale Drake begins his first full national campaign with RMS Racing.
Highlighting a strong 2026 Rookie of the Year class are several talented newcomers including Drew Sherman, Hank Soares, and Bradley Cox, each looking to make an immediate impression during the season-opening weekend.

Adding additional strength to the already loaded field are several multi-car operations and experienced regional teams.
Jody Rosenboom Racing is expected to bring a strong three-car effort to the Turnpike Challenge with micro-sprint veteran Frank Flud, Jonathan Beason — fresh off capturing a coveted Tulsa Shootout Driller — and Tye Wilke all slated to compete.
Morton Excavating also enters with a three-car effort including Lane Goodman, Kade Morton, and Chance Morton, all familiar with racing in the Oklahoma region.

Landon Brooks Third at Silver Cup Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending the weekend at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA for the ‘Silver Cup’, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team picked up a third-place finish on Friday night and ended up 13th during Saturday night’s finale.
“All weekend long the track was super hooked up and fast, and that bit me a little bit on Friday as I ran out of tear offs with about seven laps to go,” Landon Brooks said. “We were so good all night, and I believe we had a car to contend for the top spot up until I had play it conservative in the closing laps.”
With 21 cars checked into the pit area on Friday night, Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L mount in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials before recording a runner up finish in heat race competition.
Just narrowly missing out on the Dash, the Rio Oso, CA driver was slotted to take the green flag from the seventh starting position for the first 30-lap feature of the weekend.
Moving into sixth when the field was shown the green, Brooks worked his way into fifth on the fourth lap and was really one of the only drivers who was able to make moves on the hooked-up surface.
Racing into fourth on the 10th lap, Brooks continued his charge to the front as he got into a battle for the final podium position on the 12th lap and swapped the third and fourth position for the next four laps.
Settling back into fourth on 15th lap, Brooks continued to bide his time, though he started to run low on tear-offs as he chased after a spot on the podium. With vision running low, Brooks was able to take over third on the 26th lap, where he went on to close the night out.
Back in action for the Silver Cup finale on Saturday, Brooks and company opted to try a few different things on another heavy surface as they opened the night up timing in 20th fastest amongst the 26 entrants.
Advancing to a sixth-place finish in his heat race, Brooks locked directly into the feature event where he then took the green flag from the 17th starting position.
Mired in heavy traffic on another locked down surface, Brooks slowly worked his way forward with passing being at a premium. Working his way towards the Top-10, Brooks wasn’t quite able to crack it as he closed the weekend out with a 13th place finish.
“We tried a few things on Saturday, and though the results weren’t what we wanted I think it was really productive in teaching us a few things for the season ahead,” Brooks added. “Big thanks to everyone associated with Hamilton Racing and all of our partners for continuing to support my racing efforts.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Chance Grasty Sixth at Silver Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA- Heading to Chico, CA on Saturday night for the Silver Cup, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team battled from their 11th starting position to score a 6th place finish in the feature event.
“The track was really fast and hard to pass on, so it wasn’t quite the result we were after but it was good to move forward like we did,” Chance Grasty said.
With 26 cars in the pit area, Grasty timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in 12th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Suisun City, CA driver started and finished third in his heat race, which put him 11th on the starting grid for the 30-lap feature event.
Hoping the track would go away and widen out as the night progressed, Grasty would not get his wish as the moisture hung around all night long and created a very fast a narrow racing surface.
Getting a great start when the race came to life, Grasty was able to work his way into the eighth position where he ran much of the night. With passing extremely difficult in this race, the youngster continued to hit his marks and wait for an opening to get a few more positions.
Getting in seventh on a late restart, Grasty worked into sixth on the 27th lap and looked for a way into the Top-5 as he chased after Max Mittry and Andy Forsberg who ran just ahead of him.
Unable to get into the top-five, Grasty capped the night off with a sixth place finish.
“I was really hoping we could get into the Top-Five in that last run, but it was just so tough to make up ground,” Grasty added. “Big thanks to the F&F Racing guys for always working so hard. We had a lot of speed, so we will certainly take the positives from the night and build.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-2, Wins-0, Top 5’s-0, Top 10’s-2

Shane Golobic Third at Silver Cup with C&M Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- Getting the call from C&M Motorsports to run their Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c over the weekend, Shane Golobic and team had mechanical issues end their night early on Friday, but bounced back with a third-place finish on Saturday night.
“I was super thankful to get the chance to fill in for my NOS Energy Drink teammate, Colby Copeland over the weekend,” Shane Golobic said. “It was a fun weekend racing the Cody and Mandi Geaney, and their team.”
Getting the weekend kicked off on Friday night with fast time efforts in qualifying, issues in their heat race resulted in their night coming to an early end.
Able to make repairs during the day on Saturday, Golobic and company were back in action for Saturday’s finale where the Fremont, CA driver timed in eighth fastest amongst the 26 drivers checked into the pit area.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Golobic was able to get the jump over Friday night’s feature event winner, Andy Forsberg. Leading the way from start to finish, Golobic was able to score the win and secure a spot in the nightly Dash.
Going from fifth to fourth in the Dash, Golobic took the green flag for Saturday’s feature event on the outside of the second row on a very hooked up and fast racing surface.
Running in the fourth spot in the opening laps of the race, Golobic took the third position on 7th lap as he chased after the lead duo of Austin Wood and Tanner Carrick.
Continuing to hold down the final spot on the podium, Golobic capped the weekend off with a third place finish in ‘fill in’ duty with C&M Motorsports.
“I really enjoyed working with Cody and Bobby, and am appreciative for their hard work in getting the issues we had on Friday sorted out so we could have a strong night on Saturday.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.

Mallett Heading to North Alabama Speedway for First Time Since 2020 and Xtreme Speedway for First Time Since 2011
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (March 10, 2026) - Jordon Mallett has a pair of Alabama ovals on his weekend schedule.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains will venture to North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia on Friday and Xtreme Speedway in Moulton on Saturday during a USCS Series doubleheader.
"We're just wanting to continue to build a notebook, but run well while we do that," Mallett said. "The ultimate goal is to continue developing a notebook between me and A.G. and getting me more acclimated in his program. We have speed. We just have some things to refine."
Mallett has limited laps at the two dirt tracks. He's competed at North Alabama Speedway five times. After placing ninth during his debut in 2011, Mallett ended seventh (twice) and fourth, respectively, in 2018 before recording a career-best third-place outing in 2020.
Mallett placed 13 th during his lone appearance at Xtreme Speedway in 2011.
"I've been to North Alabama Speedway a few times, not a lot but a few," he said. "The times I've been there it was all about where we drew early on. In the feature it could get narrow and hard to pass, but we normally ran okay there. I know it's changed and gotten better so I'm eager to see it. And I don't remember how it was the one time we were at Xtreme Speedway.
"I'm just looking forward to getting some races in. We have done four official races this year, but only one of those nights we got through unscathed. Hopefully we can have a good weekend and turn some great laps."

Dietrich to continue March slate with Lincoln and BAPS
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 9, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (March 9, 2026) – Danny Dietrich’s Sunday outing to Lincoln Speedway may have ended on a bad note, tipping over just before the finish to be scored 16th, but his focus is far from removed, already aiming big in a two-race weekend in Central Pennsylvania beginning Saturday, March 14, at Lincoln Speedway.
Dietrich, the driver of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, No. 48 sprinter, will continue his mid-March slate with a Sunday visit to BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven on March 15. The event will be BAPS’ first sprint car program of the season.
As noted, Dietrich’s recent visit to Lincoln ended on a sour note, tipping over in turns three and four just before the checkers were shown. The Gettysburg ace and reigning Central PA champion was battling for a top-five at the time of the incident.
“Not the ending we wanted…an embarrassing ending,” Dietrich said. “We’ll shake this off and move forward. Not much else to say other than we owe more to our fans and supporters.”
ON DECK:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2026 season with
another weekend double in the Keystone State, visiting Lincoln Speedway and
BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, March 14-15.

A podium for Zearfoss at Lincoln; Lincoln and BAPS ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 9, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (March 9, 2026) – The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss made the most of his Sunday visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, capping the afternoon program with a podium run. Zearfoss, who calls Jonestown, Pennsylvania, home, finished third in the Pigeon Hills, climbing three spots from the outside of row three. The podium, the second top-five of the season for Zearfoss, activated with a podium in his heat race; he finished third from fifth.
Zearfoss’ Lincoln Speedway visit was intended to be two days, but Saturday’s program was eventually called off due to Mother Nature.
“It was a good day for our team…a solid rebound after some bad luck in Florida,” Zearfoss, ace of the Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, Blue Mountain Wellness, No. 3Z sprint car, said. “Hats off to this entire team. A lot of prep and a lot of early season travel. Ready to get back at it with another round this weekend.”

Attica Raceway Park
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
ATTICA, OH – Long time race fans can remember when the previous week’s
feature winner had to start last in the following week’s feature. For 2026,
Attica Raceway Park will incorporate a twist on that concept for weekly,
non-sanctioned events called the Attica A-Main Challenge.
“We are always looking for ways to add excitement to our racing program,” said Attica Promoter John Bores.
HOW IT WORKS
The winner of the previous weekly race will start sixth in the following week’s A-main if a two heat format is incorporated or will start eighth in the A-main in a three heat or more format. Sanctioned races such as the World of Outlaws, All Star Circuit of Champions and Iron Man series and the Attica John Bores Anniversary Special are not included in this format.
The previous week’s feature winner must make the redraw through their heat race. Also, Bores is offering bonus money. Should the driver come from the designated starting position (sixth or eighth) and win the A-main again, the driver will earn a $1,000 bonus (410 sprints); $750 bonus (late models) and $500 bonus (305 sprints).
Bores also announced the three weekly divisions of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints, the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models and the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints will compete for a combined $50,000 point fund to be distributed to the top 10 in points at the end of the year.
Attica Raceway Park is set to open the 2026 season Friday, March 13.
Located in Attica, Ohio, Attica Raceway Park has been a cornerstone of dirt track racing since 1988 earning a reputation for competitive racing, dedicated fans, and a welcoming racing community.
Fans are encouraged to follow Attica Raceway Park at www.atticaracewaypark.com and on social media on X (formerly Twitter) @atticaracewyprk or Facebook at www.facebook.com/atticaracewaypark and Instagram at attica_raceway_park.
MORE ENTRIES, ADVANCE TICKETS & UPDATES for Texas Motor Speedway Midget Championship March 20-21!
Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (3/6/26). Just two weeks from today, the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Dirt Track will light up for the first time ever to host the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League with the running of the Texas Motor Speedway Midget Nationals, held Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st.
Advance online ticket sales are available by clicking https://www.powri.com/schedule/?i=31369 and there you can select which night(s) you would like to purchase advance tickets, or pit passes for. Just scroll down the schedule list and click on the tickets icon for the TMS event. You can also choose to purchase your event tickets upon arrival at the speedway on race night.
In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself is attracting the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Since last week’s update, a pair of Arizona drivers (Brody Wake, Drake Edwards), a Mississippi driver (Chase Howard) and another Oklahoma driver (Ryan Padgett) have joined the list of Midget drivers that plan to compete in this event.
Drivers can get registered by emailing Talin at talin@t2promotions.net
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS as well as many national ‘invaders’ - as there are very few other midget and non-winged events scheduled nationally this particular weekend. Paired with the fact that very few of these drivers have yet to compete on the recently upgraded and converted Lil’ TMS dirt track, it will make for even more added drama.
Including the new entries, now 12 states are currently represented in the list of expected drivers, including Jacob Denney, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Colton Robinson, Karter Sarff, Chase McDermand, Brandon Carr, Zach Daum, Alex Karpowicz, Trey Marcham, Andrew Felker, Alex Sewell, Kris Carroll, Pierce Urbanosky, Ray Brewer, Branigan Roark, Zane Lawrence, Shaun Shapel, Drew Sherman, Mack Leopard, Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Cooper Miller, Kale Drake, Brylee Miller, Kyle Jones, Tyler Edwards and Thomas Meseraull. A large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. More driver entries will be announced as registrations continue to arrive at POWRi headquarters.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
The current weather trend, if it holds together, shows a generally dry period on race week and temps around 80°, which would make for stellar racing and viewing. We’ll keep an eye on that aspect as race week draws nearer.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).
A special event info hub has been built to keep fans and teams informed of the latest event information. By clicking www.darinshort.com/powri.html you can find a variety of information: ticket links, nightly event lineup, latest event news, track weather & directions, and all the details you need to get the most out of your weekend at the track.
More details for Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, including track location and camping accommodations, can be found online at: http://www.TexasMotorSpeedway.com | 16400 Lone Star Circle, Fort Worth, TX 76177 | (817) 255-6000
All POWRi National and West Midget League events will be streamed live from Start2Finish, with both LIVE and ON-DEMAND viewing available. For subscription information, visit www.s2ftv.com
Looking beyond the March 20-21 TMS Midget Championship, fans and teams can click www.darinshort.com/tms.html the entire lineup of events at both the 4/10-mile TMS Dirt Track and the 1/5-mile Lil’ TMS Dirt Track.
Don’t miss the first ever visit of the POWRi National & West Region Midgets at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, along with the Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's, for what is sure to be two wild nights of dirt track racing action on March 20th & 21st!
Sexton Gatlin Racing Heads to One of Its Best Tracks — Imperial Valley — This Week
Lakeside, CA — March 5, 2026 — A quartet of drivers from Sexton Gatlin Racing will head to one of the team’s most successful venues, Imperial Valley Raceway, for this Friday and Saturday’s SoCal Lightning Sprints/California Lightning Sprint Cars co-sanctioned California Clash Series races. Flying the SGR banner this weekend will be Brent Sexton, his two sons Dalton and Grant, and lightning sprint sophomore Braydin Collie.
Even though the track runs a limited schedule, SGR drivers have visited victory lane four times at the track — located just a few miles from the USA/Mexico border — since 2022. In fact, Brent and both of his sons have all taken winner’s trophies home from the Imperial facility. Brent leads the way with two victories, both coming in the now-defunct POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Series. The first came on March 6, 2022, and followed a win by Dalton just 24 hours earlier. Brent’s second victory at the track came on October 20, 2023.
Grant, the youngest of Brent’s offspring, is the only member of the family trio to win there in something other than a lightning sprint. In October of 2022, he outdistanced the field in an open competition sprint car race.
While SGR is bringing four drivers to Imperial, it will only field three cars. Brent and Collie will compete both nights. However, Dalton and Grant will split driving duties in the third car. Dalton, 23, will wheel the machine on Friday, while younger brother Grant, 21, will take over the cockpit on Saturday.
For Dalton, it will be only his sixth race since 2022. He made three starts in 2023, none in 2024, and two last season. His best finish during that span came on April 15, 2023, when he placed third in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series main event at Perris Auto Speedway.
Last week, Brent made his 2026 season debut when the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway. The three-time lightning sprint champion turned in the 19th fastest lap in qualifying with a 15.237. He then started seventh and finished fifth in his 10-lap heat race. Later in the night, he advanced again, moving from his 18th-place starting position to finish 16th in the main event.
This week’s Imperial Valley races will be contested during the annual Mid-Winter Fair. Admission to both nights of racing is free with the purchase of a fair ticket. Each evening will feature a complete lightning sprint program including qualifying, heat races, and a 20-lap main event. Racing begins at 6:15 p.m. both nights.
For more information or to purchase advance fair tickets, visit www.ivfairgrounds.com/p/tickets--deals. Fans unable to attend in person can watch both nights live on speeduniontv.com.
Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds at 200 E. 2nd Street, Imperial, California 92251.
After this weekend’s races, SGR will have little time to rest. Next Thursday and Friday, March 12 and 13, Brent and Grant will compete with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2026 season.
Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2026 season possible. East County Electric Works, Antonelli’s Deli, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Takes Third at Mohave Valley in His 2026 Debut
Chino Hills, CA — March 2, 2026 — A gritty performance
earned Eddie Tafoya Jr. a hard-fought for third-place finish when the Avanti
Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Arizona’s Mohave Valley
Raceway last Saturday night. It was the veteran driver’s first race since
closing out the 2025 season last November at Perris Auto Speedway.
With a large, enthusiastic crowd packed into the grandstands and thousands more watching live on Flo Racing, Tafoya turned in the sixth-fastest qualifying time among the 22 cars on hand, stopping the clock at 14.228 seconds. The effort placed him on the inside of row three for the start of the third 10-lap heat race.
Tafoya, who resides in Chino Hills, California, wasted no time charging toward the front in the heat. On the opening lap, he quickly picked off three cars to move into second. After a yellow flag flew at the end of the first circuit, Tafoya seized the lead entering turn three on the restart and paced the field for the final nine laps.
For Tafoya, the 2019 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, the impressive heat race win, combined with his strong qualifying effort, earned him the pole position for the 30-lap main event.
When the green flag dropped, Tafoya rocketed into the lead and set the early pace. He led the first eight laps before surrendering the top spot. By the midway point, he had slipped back to fourth, but the battle was far from over. Running the bottom groove to perfection, he sliced past two competitors to climb back into second.
In the war that unfolded over the final 10 laps, Tafoya slipped back to third. From there, he fended off repeated challenges to secure a podium finish that equaled his best-ever performance on the lightning-fast Arizona clay oval.
“I was leading and trying to find some grip,” Tafoya told the crowd after the race. “It is kind of hard there leading with K.T. (Kevin Thomas Jr.) back there. He runs the bottom and Ricky (Lewis) is going to pound the top. It is kind of difficult figuring where to go. Two or three of them got around me. I had to regather myself, pull back together, make good decisions and get back up on the wheel.”
“I think everyone from California wanted to get that one for Bill Perkins,” he emotionally told the crowd. “He put a lot of us in these racecars.”
“Big thanks to Specialty Fastener, my mom and my dad, to Rowdy coming out to help, my girlfriend Amanda, and to my grandparents watching back home. It is good to be on Flo.”
Tafoya will take this weekend off before returning to action with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the 12th and 13th of this month. One week later, he will be back in USAC/CRA competition at the track closest to his Chino Hills home, Perris Auto Speedway.
Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at eddietafoya51.
Team Tafoya Racing would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season. If you would like to join forces with the team for another fun and exciting year of racing in 2026, please contact Tafoya at Eddie Tafoya Jr. at (909) 393-3999 or mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com

Tanner Carrick Opens 2026 With Merced Top-10
PETERSEN MEDIA: Kicking the 2026 NARC season off at Merced Speedway on Saturday night, Tanner Carrick rebounded from early struggles in qualifying to tally an eighth-place finish in the feature event.
“Aside from a little mistake in qualifying that set us back, I was pretty happy with how the first race of the year went,” Tanner Carrick said.
Heading to Merced Speedway on Saturday night for the 2026 NARC season opening event, Tanner Carrick didn’t get his night started how he had hoped as he timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in 16th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, the Lincoln, CA driver raced well as he worked his way to a fifth place finish in heat race action which placed him in the 12th starting position for the 30-lap feature event.
Mired in traffic for the first half of the race, Carrick was able to keep his nose clean as the race started to go off the rails as it reached the halfway point. Taking advantage of some of the wild action, Carrick moved into 11th on the 15th lap after jumped into ninth follow a lap 16 open red flag.
Battling between ninth and 10th for a handful of laps, Carrick settled into ninth on the 21st lap before taking over eighth on the 23rd stanza. Once in eighth, Carrick was able to hold the position as he capped the night off with an eighth-place finish.
“Starting fairly deep in heat races in features in these races is tough,” Carrick said. “It is important to time in well, and I have to make sure I do a better job of that movind forward this year.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 1, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 0, Top 10’s: 1

Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating
March 4, 2026 (Columbus, OH)…The Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating is proud to release the vast majority of this year’s miniseries details as the countdown to the sixth consecutive running of Western PA Speedweek begins.
The number one goal in reviving Western PA Speedweek a handful of years ago was to push forward the state of local sprint car racing in western Pennsylvania. With that in mind, speedweek officials are once again proud to announce that the 2026 iteration will become the richest speedweek in recent memory with over $100,000 in feature winnings and point fund money on the line. That impressive amount will be furthered yet by additional giveaways, awards and nightly contingencies.
“As more money becomes available for Western PA Speedweek events, we have strategically placed it where I believe we can benefit the most racers,” stated series director Tyler Beichner. “The winner’s share is what gets the attention, and understandably so, but often times it is the money spread throughout the field that bolsters an event. Western PA Speedweek car counts being historically high is an indicator that we’re continuing on the right path for our tracks, drivers and team owners.”
Another secondary benefit of restoring Western PA Speedweek has been seizing the opportunity to bridge the gap between the current state of local sprint car racing with those that laid the foundation for the sport so many years ago. Just two years ago, Western PA Speedweek was fortunate to help bring the ‘Jean Lynch Classic’ to Lernerville Speedway, and this year we proudly introduce the inaugural running of the ‘Floyd Trevis Memorial’ at Sharon Speedway. Many more details are still to come on this newly coined event that honors the father of modern sprint car racing.
A staple of Western PA Speedweek is the point fund that rewards the week’s ten most successful drivers. A cool $13,500 will be split amongst those participants, with $3,000 earmarked for the speedweek champion. As has become customary, the full point fund will once again be guaranteed with a minimum of three races completed.
The previously announced schedule will find Western PA’s finest drivers joined by a select number of invaders as they grace the clay at five area tracks on consecutive nights. After enduring a dismal week of cold and damp weather in 2025, the rain dances have already begun in an attempt to receive the good graces of Mother Nature this time around. Only once since the reawakening five years ago has Western PA Speedweek avoided any rainouts, however tracks and series officials will be trying hard to buck the trend this year.
Scheduled to kick off the week of festivities, Michaels Mercer Raceway will host a Wednesday night soiree on May 27th with a $3,500 to-win, $300 to start program. The weather has treated Mercer especially poorly as the speedway is an astounding 0-for-4 on Western PA Speedweek attempts since the rebirth, with rain winning every year. The speedweek lidlifter will mark the first of three midweek specials to be found on an aggressive season schedule under new owner Earl Michaels. Joining the 410 Sprints at the unique D-shaped 3/8th mile oval will be the RUSH Wingless Sprints and DIRTcar 602 Sportsman Modifieds.
A massive change in scenery is in store the following evening when Western PA Speedweek transitions from the tight confines of Michaels Mercer Raceway to the sprawling half-mile Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway for another $3,500 to-win, $300 to start program on Thursday, May 28th. Affectionately known as “Dirt’s Monster Half Mile”, the wide and racy speedway located just southwest of Pittsburgh has put on incredible racing in recent years. Joining the headliner 410 Sprints will be the Whoa Nellie UMP Modifieds.
Western PA Speedweek will then jumpstart the weekend at the historic Don Martin’s Lernerville Speedway on Friday, May 29th. Acting as one of the most iconic dirt tracks of the last 50 years, the traditional Friday night home for area sprint cars will welcome Western PA Speedweek’s finest for the 3rd Annual Jean Lynch Classic presented by Mosites Lynch Racing. The prestigious event will pay $4,000 to-win, $350 to start and be joined by the rest of the Fab 4 Racing family: Super Late Models, Big Block Modifieds and Pro Stocks. With last year’s iteration falling to rain, AJ Flick is the only driver with a ‘Jean Lynch Classic’ on his resume following his masterful drive to the front in 2024.
The penultimate night of Western PA Speedweek requires a short scoot across the Ohio border to the renowned Sharon Speedway for the inaugural running of the ‘Floyd Trevis Memorial’. The 30-lap affair honoring the father of modern sprint cars will be the highest paying race of the week featuring a $5,000 to-win, $400 to start main event. The history of western Pennsylvania racing simply cannot be told without the Hartford, OH oval’s inclusion, as evidenced by the scores of talented drivers that have visited victory lane at the speedway that has been running continuously since 1929! Following a full clay resurfacing nearly a decade ago, Sharon Speedway has enjoyed the highest sprint car counts in the area and has displayed arguably some of the best racing in the country. Joining the 410 Sprints will be the high-powered Big Block Modifieds and the recently introduced Crown Vics.
Last but certainly not least, Western PA Speedweek will cap off an eventful week of racing at the fast half-mile Tri City Raceway Park. Under the tutelage of second year owners Josh and Kyrsten Shiffer, the Venango County oval has experienced a resurgence of sorts highlighted by more aggressive and action-packed scheduling. The curtains will close on the sixth consecutive running of Western PA Speedweek with a $4,000 to-win, $350 to start feature. If last year’s barnburner is any indication, this is a race that you will not want to miss. Joining the 410 Sprints for the curtain call will be the RUSH Sprints and 4Cyl Mini Stocks.
Throughout the week of racing a slew of nightly bonus awards and giveaways will be presented thanks to our amazing sponsors and supporters. These extra prizes, detailed further below at the bottom of the press release, will reward drivers that earn the Quick Time, Hard Charger, Hard Luck and more!
With less than three months remaining until the green flag flies on the 2026 Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating, there’s no better time than the present to start making your plans to attend. Bring a family member, tell a friend, put in that day of vacation (let us know if you need a doctor’s note!). We cannot wait for you to join us at the track.

Milestone Home Services Named Title Partner of POWRi National Midget League & POWRi West Midget League March Swing
Belleville, IL (3/3/26) – POWRi Racing has named Milestone Home Services as the title sponsor for the highly anticipated March swing featuring the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, placing enhanced branding across the Turnpike Challenge and TMS Midget Championship.
“This was an opportunity to expand an existing partnership that offers continual support,” said Talin Turner of POWRi Racing. “Milestone Home Services has been a tremendous supporter of our competitors and our events over the years. With the shift in the early-season schedule, it made perfect sense to amplify their presence during one of our strongest regional stretches of the year.”
The two-week focus begins with the Milestone Home Services Turnpike Challenge at Creek County Speedway and Port City Raceway on March 12–14, before concluding in Texas with the Milestone Home Services TMS Midget Championship at Lil Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on March 19–21.
With the postponement of the Outlaw Nationals, POWRi leadership worked to create expanded exposure and added value for Milestone Home Services during a key regional stretch. Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Milestone Home Services will receive elevated brand integration and promotional emphasis throughout events across Oklahoma and Texas.
Additional promotional elements, cross-platform branding initiatives, and on-site activations for Milestone Home Services will be highlighted across POWRi digital and broadcast platforms during the early-season swing.
All POWRi National & West Midget League events will be streamed live from Start2Finish TV. For streaming access or to purchase an Express Pass, visit www.s2ftv.com.

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing Look Forward to Silver
Cup Follow Tough NARC Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA: Kicking their 2026 NARC campaign off on Saturday night in Merced, CA, Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing had a tough go, but the team is already turning their attention to this weekend’s double-header in Chico, CA.
“It was definitely a tough weekend, and I feel like I let everyone down with some mistakes,” Landon Brooks said. “The Hamilton Racing team prepared a great car and I just made too many mistakes and have a lot I need to clean up moving forward.”
Hitting the tight confines of the Merced Speedway on Saturday night, Brooks got the night kicked off by timing the Lipper Construction/Tiner Hirst/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 15th quickest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, the Rio Oso, CA driver slipped back to the sixth position as the race got underway. Hanging on to a sixth-place finish, Brooks moved into the feature event where he rolled off of the starting grid from the 15th position.
When the race came to life, Brooks jumped into 18th where he ran the first 10-laps until he lost the handle on the 11thcircuit and spun to a spot in turns one and two.
Restarting from 20th, Brooks was able to get rolling as he was up into 14th on the 16th lap when cars got together ahead of him and he got in on the action and damaged his front end.
Taking a trip to the work area as the race went into open red flag conditions, the extra time allowed the Hamilton Racing team to make extensive repairs and get Brooks back out for the restart.
Restarting in 15th with the way the race was going, Brooks was able to get going with the action resumed as he worked his way forward and raced into the Top-10.
Working his way up to ninth at one point, a battle inside the Top-10 on the 27th lap resulted with Brooks having another front end get knocked out which officially brought his night to an end.
“I really want to thank the Hamilton Family for going all in on me this year, and I wish we could have had a better opener,” Brooks said. “I will do a better job on my part and get our car up front and battling for top finishes. I also want to thank the Tiner Hirst guys for all of their hard work.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.

Mallett Produces Earliest Podium Performance in a Season Since 2018
Inside Line Promotions - HATTIESBURG, Miss. (March 3, 2026) - A second-place result highlighted the first handful of races of the new partnership between Jordon Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains.
The strong showing came on the heels of a challenging start to the season as the team ventured to Florida for a USCS Series doubleheader at Southern Raceway in Milton Feb. 20-21. Mallett placed fifth in a heat race before a DNF ended his season opener early.
"We wanted to get the season started early so we could get ourselves on the same page and start building a notebook," he said. "We faced a couple of mechanical gremlins, but we had good speed right away.
"Milton was up and down. We chased mechanical gremlins all night on the Friday night and it resulted in a DNF. We had speed in the car, but we needed to iron out a few kinks. We regrouped for Saturday and we were a lot better off. However, something didn't feel right on the car as the night progressed."
Mallett advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race and from ninth to sixth place in the main event.
"We had a good initial start and got ourselves into fourth or fifth," he said. "Something was off. The car wouldn't stay underneath me coming through some of the chop. We spun ourselves out trying to work through that on about Lap 7. We went back to the tail and mounted a charge back to sixth. I felt we had a lot better race car than where we finished. We found out later we had a shock that went bad. It was a relief to find something definitive to pinpoint what had happened."
The action shifted to Hattiesburg Speedway, which hosted a USCS Series doubleheader last weekend. On Friday, Mallett maneuvered from third to second in a heat race to advance into the dash. A fifth-place finish in the dash lined him up on the inside of the third row in the A Main.
"A.G. had a really well-prepared car for us and we were really good the first night," he said. "The track was uncharacteristically fast and hooked up and narrow. We became really good when we got into traffic and it got really technical. The car came to life then. The leader was good on the short runs, but not as good as us in traffic. We were right there, but wound up with a late-race red flag. After that, those last five or six laps, we didn't get back into traffic and that's what we needed. All in all, it was a super solid night and we made tremendous gains on me being comfortable in the race car and being able to contend for a win."
The second-place result was Mallett's best run since May 2025. It was also his earliest podium outing of a season since 2018, when he placed second on Feb. 24.
"We were able to take that same comfort level and roll it into Saturday," he said. "We had a lot of speed. We missed it a little in the dash and then coming around after the parade lap of the feature to line up I felt a shake so I pulled into the infield. I felt it was a terminal shake so I had to disappointedly watch the feature from the infield. Luckily, we made the right call and didn't cause any further damage."
After finishing second in a heat race and sixth in the dash, Mallett's night ended early with a DNS in the feature.
The team is taking this weekend off before returning to competition with the USCS Series March 13 at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala., and March 14 at Xtreme Speedway in Moulton, Ala.

Andy Forsberg 6th at Marysville Raceway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Marysville Raceway on Saturday night to take part in the track’s first points event of the season, Andy Forsberg rebounded from issues while leading in traffic to finish sixth in the feature.
“It was the polar opposite of last week as far as weather and the car count, but Saturday night was really good crowd, great weather, but we had another gnarly surface,” Andy Forsberg said.
With 17 cars in the pit area on this night, Forsberg timed the Pacific Highway Rentals/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply No. 92 in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Needing to win his heat race to make the redraw, the Auburn, CA driver did just that as he picked up the much-needed win which put him in the redraw where the two-pill put him on the front row of the feature event.
When the race went green, Forsberg shot out to the early lead and quickly began reeling in the back of the field as he methodically worked around the tricky surface that was presented on Saturday night.
With traffic causing some hair raising moments, Forsberg did all but get upside down at one point and it allowed Jaden Bunch to grab the lead as Forsberg worked to get back pointed the right way.
Packing his left rear full of mud, Forsberg went to the work area and was able to make quick repairs, and as he rejoined the field he lined up in eighth with the amount of cars he lapped in the early goings of the race.
Able to pick up a few positions in the final laps, Forsberg closed the night out with sixth place finish.
“Traffic was wild, and I was just thankful that we didn’t get upside down and tear a bunch of stuff up,’ Forsberg said. “Thanks to my team for working hard, and this week we will try again in Chico, CA.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 2, Wins-1, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-2

Covington Wins the Sonoran Clash Night 2
Glenpool, OK (February 25, 2026) — Matt Covington put his top-side hustle on
full display over the weekend, charging to a runner-up finish on Saturday
before storming to victory Sunday night aboard the No. 95 machine at Central
Arizona Raceway with the American Sprint Car Series during the inaugural
Sonoran Clash.
Saturday night saw Covington unload with speed at the 3/8-mile oval. After advancing through his heat race and positioning himself at the front of the field with a Dash win, Matt powered his way to a strong second-place finish in the A-Main, showing early signs that the team had found something special on the Arizona surface.
“We were really good Saturday,” Covington said. “Peck was
better in lapped traffic. It’s cool having these 410 guys come run with us
because you can always learn race craft from them. But we learned a lot
throughout the night and felt like we had something we could build on going
into Sunday.”
That momentum carried straight into Sunday’s program.
Covington again qualified well and capitalized with another heat race win. After the Dash results were finalized, Covington lined up sixth for the 30-lap feature.
When the feature went green, Peck jumped out to an early lead as Covington and the field worked to close the gap. After a caution on Lap 14, Peck ducked into the infield with a flat right-front tire, surrendering the lead to Kyler Johnson with Whit Gastineau and Covington close behind.
On the restart, Johnson stretched his advantage while Covington worked past Gastineau on Lap 18. Over the next several circuits, Matt erased a 1.5-second deficit, finding momentum on the high side, a lane few had tried, and even fewer had made work.
With five laps remaining, Covington carried a full head of
steam into Turns 3 and 4, rolling the cushion as Johnson protected the
bottom. Drag racing to the line to complete Lap 25, Covington surged ahead
to take the lead.
>From there, the Glenpool, Oklahoma native was not to be denied, pacing the
field over the final five laps to secure the $6,000 victory, .. the 23rd
American Sprint Car Series triumph of his career.
“I really can’t believe we won this thing tonight,” Covington said. “The car was great. If there’s a fast top line, I’m going to try to make it work.”
“I feel bad for those guys, they’re my friends, and I’ve stolen two from him now going back to I-55 last year,” Covington added. “He’s going to get there. It’s just traffic and experience. I didn’t do a very good job of it Saturday night with Peck, but we cleaned it up Sunday. I need to thank Steven for all his help this winter and the last month or so as we get rolling into the year. People don’t understand the work and sacrifice it takes behind the scenes and the grind up and down the road.”

Colby Copeland and C&M Motorsports Kick 2026 Off In AZ
PETERSEN MEDIA- After a strong showing at the 2025 Trophy Cup, C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland have joined forces for much of the 2026 season and over the weekend the action came to life as they made the trip to Central AZ Raceway to take on the ASCS National Tour.
“It was great to get our season kicked off, and I am really excited to work with the C&M Motorsports team in 2026,” Colby Copeland said.
Getting the action kicked off on Saturday night, Copeland timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7C in third fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Roseville, CA driver got the jump as he powered into the early lead. Keeping the rest of the field at bay, Copeland picked up the win and punched his ticket into the nightly Dash.
Starting and finishing second in the Dash, Copeland was on the front row of his first feature event of the season. When the race went green, Copeland settled into second as he fended off Justin Peck in the early stanzas and kept his other eye on early leader, Matt Covington.
Slipping back to third on the 10th lap as Peck was able to get by him, Copeland still looked very strong as he kept the C&M Motorsports mount in the hotly contested battle up front. On the 17th lap however, Copeland began to lose power, and on the 18th lap his night came to an early end.
Making repairs during the day on Sunday, the team was back in action Sunday night to cap off their 2026 opening weekend.
Timing in fifth fastest in his group on Sunday, Copeland’s fourth place finish in his heat race put him in the eight row of the 30 lap feature event.
Mired in traffic for much of the race, Copeland was able to make some headway as he worked his way towards the Top-10. Slicing and dicing his way around the Central AZ Raceway, Copeland capped the weekend off with an 11th place finish.
“We did have some bugs slow us a little in our first weekend out, but it was also the first time this team has seen the track, so in the big picture I was pleased with how it went,” Copeland added. “Big thanks to Cody and Mandi for putting together a cool schedule with me, and thanks to everyone that supports the No. 7C.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland return to action March 21st at Placerville Speedway.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Back to Florida for Bike Week Jamboree
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Feb. 24, 2026) - Big Game Motorsports returns to competition this Sunday and Monday at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., during the Bike Week Jamboree.
David Gravel used a pair of second-place finishes at the half-mile oval earlier this month during the first two points races of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season to be tied atop the championship standings.
"Lots of confidence and I felt like everything we did there was earned," he said. "We didn't have great racing luck of starting in the front row so I felt we performed every single night."
Following the two-weekend break from the season-opening event, Big Game Motorsports is now scheduled to race the next five weekends and in 17 of the next 18 weekends. Following a weekend off for the Fourth of July, the ensuing 16 weekends are busy competing before a weekend off leading into the final event of the World of Outlaws season in November.
"The boys had to go back to the shop and refill the trailer up," Gravel said after the season-opening event in Florida. "We'll be ready to go. Once that second Volusia weekend comes up it's ready for the season for real."
Gravel has won five of his last 18 World of Outlaws starts at Volusia Speedway Park.
"I'm looking forward to the weekend," he said. "They've done a great job with the race track and it's a lot of fun racing there. We have a lot of people there to support us, too."

Zearfoss caps Arizona trip with top-five, Volusia’s Bike Week Jamboree on
deck
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 23, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
JONESTOWN, Pa. (February 23, 2026) – It was a quick trip to Arizona, but Zearfoss’ trip proved prosperous, concluding his two-day visit to Central Arizona Raceway for the ASCS National Tour Sonoran Clash with a top-five outcome, doing so on Sunday, February 22. Impressive enough, Zearfoss, who drove Clayton Snow’s No. 7 in his two-day campaign, started 11th in the aforementioned top-five, crossing the line fifth with Matt Covington taking top honors.
Zearfoss and Clayton Snow finished 15th in their first outing at Central Arizona Raceway on Saturday, February 21. Over 30 entries made the call with Indiana’s own Justin Peck taking the evening’s checkers.
With his early season trek to Arizona now complete, Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing can begin preparations for their return to Florida, setting aim back on Volusia Speedway Park for the two-day Bike Week Jamboree featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.
“I was pretty pumped to get the call from Clayton Snow. It ended up being a pretty solid weekend and I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Brock Zearfoss said. “The plan now is to head back south and rejoin the World of Outlaws at Volusia, and if all goes according to plan, we’ll follow the Series through Alabama and Mississippi. Excited to see what we can do.”

HOME SWEET HOME: Whittall back from Australia, eager for
Central Pennsylvania season
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 23, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (February 23, 2026) – Justin Whittall’s 2025/2026 Tour of Australia was long and competitive, but the New Jersey native is finally home, ready for another full-on Central Pennsylvania campaign beginning with an early season stop at the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway.
Although an official start date for the team has yet to be determined, Whittall’s plan of attack for 2026 will be made up primarily of the new PA Posse 410 Sprint Series and seeing that through until Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek commences in late June. Whittall’s remaining months will remain “TBD” up until that point, utilizing prior results and standings to lay out their focus for mid to late season destinations.
“It was another fantastic trip to Australia. I’m super grateful for everything that RBH Racing did for me these last few months, but it’s good to be home and we have some work to do,” Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, said. “We’re not exactly sure when we’ll start our season, but a visit to Lincoln will likely happen before the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series schedule gets going. We’ll need some lap time to shake things down.”
The PA Posse 410 Sprint Series will feature a 47-race schedule for its inaugural season, spanning nine Central Pennsylvania tracks, plus Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland and Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey. Action will commence at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, March 21.

Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports to activate 2026
with a swing through the south

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (February 23, 2026) – Although the 2026 High Limit Racing season is not scheduled to begin until Thursday, March 12, the “Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports decided it was time to shake things down, jumpstarting their campaign with World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series competition at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, on Sunday and Monday, March 1-2. Vermeer Motorsports, who will follow High Limit Racing on a full-time basis, will use their Florida trip as an early season test session, utilizing the lap time to make sure their “55” is ready for the road.
In fact, Vermeer Motorsports, backed by TK Concrete, Maxima Trucking & Materials, and Logan Contractors, will follow the Outlaws in back-to-back weekends, continuing on with stops at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama, and Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi, on March 6-7. From there, Vermeer will move further west, joining High Limit Racing in their season opener in Las Vegas on March 12-14.
“It’s a good way to get things shook down before the High Limit season gets going…we can work out any last minute kinks or potential issues in our set-ups,” Tye Wolfgang, the team’s Crew Chief, stated. “It’s all about lap time and getting the car where it needs to be. We’re excited to get things going.”

OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN ADDS $10,000 TO WIN NON-WING SPRINT
CAR DIVISION FOR 2026
LAS VEGAS, NV (February 19, 2026) – The fourth annual Open Wheel Showdown is
excited to announce the addition of Non-Wing Sprint Cars for its 2026
running at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, November 5–7.
The new division will headline Friday Night’s Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying
Night, serving as the featured event of the evening. The Non-Wing Sprint
Cars will compete in a 75-lap main event paying $10,000 to win and $1,000 to
start, adding another marquee moment to one of asphalt racing’s richest
weekends. An incentive will also be offered for teams who run both the
winged and non-wing divisions with details to be announced later.
Non-Wing’s addition to the Open Wheel Showdown continues the meaningful
reintroduction of pavement sprint car racing to the Las Vegas area. The
Southwest region was once rich in open-wheel tradition with events like the
Turkey Night Grand Prix and the Cooper World Classic drawing national
attention. Bringing Non-Wing Sprint Cars back to this stage reconnects the
area with that storied history while introducing a new generation of fans to
the excitement of pavement sprint car competition.
The addition marks a significant expansion of the Showdown’s class
structure, joining Winged Sprint Cars, Modifieds, Super Modifieds, Legends,
and Bandoleros to further solidify the event as the definitive asphalt open
wheel racing festival.
“Adding Non-Wing Sprint Cars to the Open Wheel Showdown builds upon my
vision to make this the premier pavement open wheel event in the world,"
Promoter Davey Hamilton, Jr. said. "Not only will this be a great addition
for the competitors and the fans, I am looking forward to jumping in to
chase the $10,000 prize. Friday night under the lights in Las Vegas will be
even more electric in 2026 with the Non-Wing Sprint Cars headlining the
program and I can't wait to see the racing!”
The new division will receive strong support from the YourBIGPlans.com 500
Sprint Car Tour, a national series dedicated to non-wing pavement sprint car
competition and preserving the heritage of the discipline.
“This is an important step for the growth of non-wing pavement sprint car
racing,” said Jared Owen, Series Director of the YourBIGPlans.com 500 Sprint
Car Tour. “Events like the Open Wheel Showdown create major opportunities
for our teams to compete on a big stage. It’s another building block in the
continued growth of this division and directly supports the momentum we’re
seeing around the Unified Group Services Little 500. The more high-profile
races we create for non-wing sprint cars, the stronger the foundation
becomes for the future of the Little 500 and pavement sprint car racing as a
whole.”
The Open Wheel Showdown continues to attract top open wheel talent from
coast to coast, offering one of the most compelling purses and competitive
fields in pavement racing today.
Event registration opens on March 1. More info can be found at

February 18, 2026 – Pinellas Park, Florida – Pavement sprint car fans will be in for a treat This weekend February 20-21, 2026, as they will be entertained by two nights of racing action at Showtime Speedway as part of the 7th annual Dave Steele World Sprint Car Championship Weekend.
Friday will feature a 125-lap non-wing sprint car race followed by two twin 40-lap winged feature events the following evening. Fans will be able to witness 205 total laps of sprint car feature racing over the course of the two nights.
Friday nights 125-lap non-winged event will be the seventh consecutive year the speedway has hosted the long-distance sprint car race.

ELEVATING EXPECTATIONS: Tony Vermeer and Vermeer Motorsports set the bar
high for 2026
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 16, 2026
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (February 16, 2026) – The 2026 campaign will prove to be bigger than ever for Tony Vermeer and Vermeer Motorsports, and with the “Madman” Kerry Madsen at the helm of their TK Concrete, Maxima Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors No. 55, the team’s goals and aspirations are sure to be in reach, one of which is to be a winning threat night-in and night-out with High Limit Racing. In total, Vermeer Motorsports hopes to push their calendar to nearly 80 events in 2026, mixing in starts with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the infamous Pennsylvania Posse when not on track with High Limit.
Speaking of the Keystone State, in an effort to embed themselves deep within one of the country’s most notable sprint car hotbeds, Vermeer Motorsports made the strategic move from central Iowa to Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. The relocation not only gives Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief Tye Wolfgang a sense of “home shop advantage,” but in addition, a massive slate of open wheel contests within a relatively short drive of their Juniata County race shop. Not to mention, their own work place when the High Rollers invade Posse Country.
As noted, Pennsylvania native and championship-proven Crew Chief Tye Wolfgang will lead the charge for Tony Vermeer and the newly restructured Vermeer Motorsports (disbanding what was formerly known as Vermeer-Madsen Racing), along with Car Chief Doug Rankin and Harley Berry as the team’s Tire Specialist.
“It’s going to be an exciting year,” Tye Wolfgang was quick to note. “Tony [Vermeer] believes in us and he believes in our potential. He’s given us the tools and equipment necessary to be at the highest level. Now it’s time for us to go out and prove that we belong at the High Limit table.”
Vermeer Motorsports and Kerry Madsen will activate their full-time High Limit Racing campaign with a trip to Sin City, partaking in three straight nights of competition beginning Thursday, March 12.
“We’ve been working our tails off in restructuring this entire team,” Wolfgang added “We have a full fleet of Maxim Chassis and Fisher Racing Engines awaiting Kerry’s arrival back to the states. I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re excited for this new chapter. All that’s left to do is get on track and prove it.”

their 2026 campaign in Bakersfield on Saturday night. The series has raced
four times on the dirt at Kern Raceway, with Castro Valley’s Jake Andreotti
scoring victories twice. Bakersfield’s Cade Lewis and Arizona’s Drake
Edwards are also former winners. Stockton’s Caden Sarale led Riverside’s
Dane Culver in the 2025 series championship, with Sarale taking the title on
the strength of three main event wins. $1,200 is up for grabs for the race
winner.
The IMCA Modifieds race for an outstanding $750 to win each
night of the 2026 Bakersfield Speedway season. Drivers from across the
southwest took on the one-third mile dirt track in 2025 with veteran
multi-time champion Brad Pounds prevailing for another title for the trophy
case. The IMCA Sport Modifieds also enjoyed familiar success last season
with Tyler Bannister topping 2024 champion Jason Bannister for the top spot
in the standings. The Sport Mods continue to race for $600 to win each night

CONSISTENCY EXTENDS KINGSHOTT’S LEAD
Consistent performances during two of Western Australia’s biggest events – the Barbagallo Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals and the Krikke Boys Shootout – over the past week have rewarded Dayne Kingshott and the Krikke Motorsport team with a feature race win and extended their current Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series point standings lead.
During the $40,077 to win Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals saw the team run a black and gold WA # 77 car in tribute to Alf Barbagallo, ran an impressive second place on the opening night; however, despite being in a front-running position on the second night, things didn’t go according to plan, and he recorded a rare DNF due to an engine issue. Kingshott and the team bounced back three nights later during the Midweek Mayhem event at Perth Motorplex and picked up a third-place finish on the podium.
Last weekend’s Krikke Boys Shootout was run in honour of Daryl, Jason, Shane and Michael Kirkke with a $20,095 winner’s prize up for grabs and it is an event that is very near and dear to all at Krikke Motorsport. It started in near perfect fashion when Dayne was second in his group in qualifying and won his heat, dash and dominated the feature race for his sixth win of the season. The second and final night saw Kingshott forced to play catch up after a poor qualifying run, but he and the team showed their never-say-die spirit once again and managed to finish in sixth after they had started from a deep out of position 17 in the feature race field.
Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke was really pleased to see Kingshott and the team come away from yet another busy period of the season with more solid performances.
“Running five nights in just over a week is quite hectic for everyone, but the team once again stood up to it, and we are happy to come away from each of those nights with plenty of car speed. Obviously a DNF wasn’t ideal during the Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals, and we would have liked to have started a lot closer to the front in the Krikke Boys Shootout race, but that’s racing,” he said.
“It was a real privilege and an honour to roll out the black and gold car for the Barbagallo family during the Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals, and I would like to thank Vince Barbagallo for trusting us with that. The boys, Dayne included, haven’t missed a beat all season and I’m really looking forward to the last half a dozen rounds, as there is still plenty of racing to go and six opportunities to get another win or two before the season is done.”

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall caps his season in Australia
with three straight top-tens
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 16, 2026
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (February 16, 2026) – It’s been a long, competitive season Down Under for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall and Western Australia’s own RBH Racing, and even though Whittall’s campaign has officially come to a close, capping his visit to the Southern Hemisphere with three starts at Perth Motorplex, the American went out swinging, earning three straight top-tens with the third occurring in the Krikke Boys Shootout finale on Saturday, February 14.
Whittall, who piloted the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 during his entire stint in Australia, finished seventh, tenth, and seventh, respectively, in his final three starts, the first in Perth’s Midweek Mayhem followed by the two-day Krikke Boys Shootout.
Impressive enough, Whittall is actually five-for-five in the top-ten column in his last five visits to Perth Motorplex, all of which dating back to the two-day Mr. Sprintcar Nationals on Friday and Saturday, February 6-7.
“It’s been an incredible trip. So much to say and so many people to thank…I just don’t know where to start,” Whittall said. “I can’t say enough about everyone at RBH Racing. Since day one, they’ve treated me, as well as my entire family, like family of their own. It’s a dream come true to come to Australia and drive for their race team. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity.”
ON DECK:
Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports will activate their American season with
a visit to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania. Although the team
plans to miss the two-day Ice Breaker, an eventual early to mid-March trip
to the Pigeon Hills will be utilized as a season shakedown. More updates
will be posted in the coming days.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Justin Whittall, JW Motorsports and RBH Racing would like to thank all of
their marketing partners including: RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG
Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body,
Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant.

First Time Ever! Texas Motor Speedway Midget Championship March 20-21!
Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (2/11/26). The Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track is thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League will be taking on the ‘in your face’ action atop the 1/5-mile on Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st!
In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself will attract the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Here’s the whole scoop:
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS as well as many national ‘invaders’ - as there are very few other midget events scheduled nationally this particular weekend. Paired with the fact that very few of these drivers have yet to compete on the recently upgraded and converted Lil’ TMS dirt track, it will make for even more added drama.
Drivers such as Jacob Denney, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Colton Robinson, Karter Sarff, Chase McDermand, Brandon Carr, Zach Daum, Alex Karpowicz, Trey Marcham, Andrew Felker, Alex Sewell, Kris Carroll, Pierce Urbanosky, Ray Brewer, Branigan Roark, Zane Lawrence, Shaun Shapel & a large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. Additional specific driver entries will be announced as registrations arrive.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).
A special event info hub has been built to keep fans and teams informed of the latest event information. By clicking www.darinshort.com/powri.html you can find a variety of information: ticket links, nightly event lineup, latest event news, track weather & directions, and all the details you need to get the most out of your weekend at the track.

All POWRi National and West Midget League events will be streamed live from Start2Finish, with both LIVE and ON-DEMAND viewing available. For subscription information, visit www.s2ftv.com .
Looking beyond the March 20-21 TMS Midget Championship, fans and teams can click www.darinshort.com/tms.html the entire lineup of events at both the 4/10-mile TMS Dirt Track and the 1/5-mile Lil’ TMS Dirt Track.
Don’t miss the first ever visit of the POWRi National & West Region Midgets at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, along with the Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's, for what is sure to be two wild nights of dirt track racing action on March 20th & 21st!
Meet Perris Auto Speedway New Race Director Steve Russell
Perris, California — February 9, 2026 — When Perris Auto Speedway kicks off its historic 30th Diamond Anniversary season this Saturday, February 14, there will be a new race director for the PASSCAR classes and subsequent Nights of Destruction beginning on February 21. Taking over for longtime race director Steve Aldis is past Southern California First Division Speedway Motorcycle racer Steve Russell.
Russell first came to the track, affectionately known to fans as “The PAS,” before COVID, when he took over as the scoreboard operator. Unfortunately, due to his commitment to his day job, he had to step aside. Three years ago, when track starter Kevin Winters moved to Minnesota, the famous Riverside County speed plant put out the word that it was looking to hire a starter. Russell, who lives in Temecula, California, said his day job had changed and he would like to apply for the job. As soon as promoter Don Kazarian got word that Russell wanted to apply, the search was over. He said the job was his.

The past motorcycle racer excelled in the new post. In addition to flagging PASSCAR Stock Car Races and the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, he also flagged World of Outlaws and High Limit Sprint Cars at the track. Once again, he took to the job immediately and did an impressive job. That brought us to 2025 and Aldis' decision to step aside from his long-time race director position. This time, there was not a hunt to hire someone. Kazarian immediately wanted Russell to fill the role. When the promoter asked him if he wanted the job, Russell quickly accepted.
“Steve has the demeanor I was looking for,” Kazarian said. “He has experience. He spent enough time last year to be seasoned in that job and do it like a pro in 2026. Steve Aldiss did a great job training him.”

On Monday night, Russell took some time to talk about his racing background and the new position.
PAS: Race Director is another new job for you at Perris Auto Speedway. How excited are you about this?
Russell: I am really excited. I am looking forward to it, with it being the 30th year for Perris Auto Speedway. It is going to be some great racing and fun for the fans. I like the position, and I like working with all of the drivers and the team at Perris Auto Speedway. Being able to work with Don is exciting as well.
PAS: After such a long time being involved in Speedway Motorcycle racing, did you ever think you would be working in auto racing?
Russell: I did not think I would work in auto racing. That is a funny question. I always liked going (to auto races) but I did not see myself working in it. I kind of got the bug when I was doing the scoreboard. Then it was exciting being the starter. Now I am looking forward to this new adventure.
PAS: Let's talk about your grandpa, Warren Russell. He was big into racing, including Indy Cars.
Russell: Yes, my grandpa was big into Indy Cars. He had some friends who ran the Indy 500 and actually won the Indy 500 (Jim Rathmann in 1960). Grandpa would go every year and spend some time back at Indy. He had a drag race funny car, a couple of top fuel hydros. He had a land speed record for a while. I have always been around some form of racing.
PAS: Your grandpa had a company name Russell and Russell. One of my favorite stories about him is that his company put in the initial grandstands at Ascot in the 1950s, and about 38 years later, it put the initial grandstands in at Perris Auto Speedway. He also put grandstands in at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles and every year at the Rose Parade.
Russell: Yes, he did have a construction company. Looking back, I started working there at a really young age. Before that, I would go in and hang out with him during the day. Working there taught me a lot. A little about everything. Driving a forklift, towing a forklift, loading trucks, and doing some construction stuff. Looking back, it was a great learning experience and taught me a lot.
PSA: He also got you started in racing. How did that come about, and what persuaded you to race Speedway?
Russell: I was at the office one day with him. I had been doing some motocross riding for fun. I asked him what he thought about going motocross racing. He thought that was kind of dangerous and said let’s look at Speedway. I kind of laughed as we were going to do Speedway with no brakes. He got me a bike and the stuff I needed to go with it. We started going every weekend to Ken Maely’s place in Corona. We would go there and ride every weekend.
PAS: If I remember correctly, that was the mid-80s, correct?
Russell: That was probably 1985, and I started competing in Speedway in 1986. That was in Third Division. I moved all the way up to First Division with him. He sponsored me in my time doing that. I rode First Division for a lot of years in So Cal. We had a great time doing it together. I ended up getting hurt in 1991 or 1992. I had reconstructive knee surgery and stepped away from racing for a really long time. We actually moved out of state for a bit, but we came back in 2010. My grandpa and I were having lunch together again. I looked at him and said, ‘What do you think about going Speedway racing again?’ So we started racing again from 2010 to 2015.
PAS: Your grandpa not only sponsored you, but he sponsored and helped a lot of the top riders in So Cal. That exposed you to some other riders. Which of those guys helped you?
Russell: Bobby Schwartz was a big help to me. My grandpa started sponsoring him right when I was moving into Second Division. My grandpa helped him, and Bobby helped me. Steve Lucero was a big help. Kelly Inman was a big help, too. Actually, for a season or two, we actually worked together. He sponsored me, built a bike for me, and I rode for him.
PAS: Lets go back to your new job at Perris. Is there anything you can think of that may be a challenge for you?
Russell: I think there is going to be a learning curve for sure at the beginning. I was directing the races for the last couple of months at the end of 2025. Steve (Aldis) was a huge help in transitioning and getting me into that role, and learning. I think the biggest part will be knowing the rules right away when they happen. I have had the whole off-season to brush up on that. When I am up in the press box, I will have my notebook and everything to help. What I hope to do is run fair racing for everybody. Keep it safe and keep the program moving along. Being there to listen to the drivers, but also keep a firm hand on what is going on as well. It is really fast-paced, and there is a lot going on in the press box that you have to block out because there are so many of us up there. I think it is going to be a good season.
PAS: Anything else to add about your new gig?
Russell: I am thankful to Don for the opportunity to be the race director. I am also thankful for Steve spending that extra time working with me and helping me move into this position. Also, the whole Perris Auto Speedway team. It is a great group of guys that work really well together. I am thankful for that as well.
When Russell moved up to the press box, Chris Fulton, whose father is track man Rick “Coach” Fulton, immediately took over as the starter at the track.

DOUG JOHNSON AWARDED THE 50TH ANNUAL “GOLDEN” ANNIVERSARY AUTO-RACING PROMOTER OF THE YEAR - At the 53rd Annual RPM@Daytona Workshops at The Shores Resort & Spa
— Kathy Root Awarded 4th Annual “Jody Deery Award” | Regional Promoters of the Year Announced | Jim Ford Classic Named RPM Outstanding Event of the Year —
Daytona Beach, Fla. (February 10, 2026) — Doug Johnson, promoter of Huset’s Speedway, was introduced this afternoon as the 50th Annual “Golden Anniversary” Auto-Racing Promoter of the Year during the RPM@Daytona Workshops, held at the Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, Florida. Johnson represents Region Four – the Upper Midwest Region as part of the RPM balloting.
“This is an incredible honor,” stated Johnson. “While this award is extremely special, it truly reflects a team effort. I wouldn’t be standing here without the people who surround me and give me the opportunity to do what I love at the race track. It is humbling and one of the greatest honors you can receive in our sport. To join the list of outstanding promoters who have earned this award means a great deal to me. I especially want to thank my wife. Racing has been our life, and the track means so much to us. We hope to continue this tradition for many years to come.”

Jody Deery Award
Kathy Root of Vinton, Iowa, was announced as the fourth annual recipient of the Jody Deery Award. The award is named in honor of the late promoter Jody Deery of Rockford Speedway and has become one of the most anticipated honors presented at the RPM Workshops.

Root purchased IMCA from Keith Knaack and successfully expanded the organization into one of the largest sanctioning bodies in short-track racing, all while maintaining an affordable platform for competitors. Today, the organization continues under the leadership of her son, Brett Root.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Wrap Up DIRTcar Nationals With Two Podiums
Inside Line Promotions – BARBERVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 9, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports opened the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series points season with back-to-back second-place finishes last weekend at Volusia Speedway Park.
Following a crash on Wednesday during the 55th annual Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals opener and a rain out on Thursday, David Gravel guided the team to runner-up results on both Friday and Saturday. That currently places him tied for the World of Outlaws championship lead.
“I felt like we brought it every day and were fast every time we hit the race track,” he said. “Aside from getting turned into the wall (on Wednesday), it was a very good week for us.”
Gravel set quick time during his qualifying group, won a heat race and finished third in the dash each of the three race nights. That lined him up on the inside of the second row in every main event.
On Wednesday, Gravel was in third place when contact from a driver behind him sent him into the frontstretch wall. The impact approximately one third of the way through the 25-lap feature destroyed the race car and ended Gravel’s night early.
“I was running the bottom and guys were running the top and getting runs on me,” he said. “I was deciding it was time to get off the bottom. I got to the top off turn four and had the track to myself and moved up. All of a sudden I was in the wall and spinning around. I didn’t know what happened until I saw the video. I was coming up the track. Logan (Schuchart) had a run. He misjudged hitting my back bumper. It wasn’t malicious or on purpose.”
The team built a kit car prior to Friday’s event, which served as the first points night of the season for the World of Outlaws. Gravel fell to fourth on the start of the main event before moving into third place on Lap 7. He advanced to second on Lap 12 and reeled in the leader.
“We had a couple of shots at Buddy (Kofoid) there,” he said. “Sometimes the lappers slowed him down and sometimes me down. I had two shots at getting by him and he always returned the move. I just wasn’t able to seal the deal.”
The weekend concluded on Saturday with a similar circumstance as Gravel made a last-lap pass to take the lead briefly before the pass was returned.
“I felt we were pressuring (Anthony Macri) and getting good runs being low off turn two down the backstretch, but it’s so hard to get enough of a run to get alongside him to where he couldn’t go down and protect,” he said. “We had a head of steam coming to the white and he was slowed by the lapper. I slid across (in turn one) thinking we were going to be in good shape. The lapped car slipped up just enough and Anthony did a good job to get underneath him. It was a game of inches. If I were to redo that I could do things a little bit different, but I was in the mindset that lapped car had the bottom lane blocked and that wasn’t the case.”
The team will have the next two weekends off before resuming World of Outlaws competition at Volusia Speedway Park March 1-2 during the Bike Week Jamboree.
“You can always be better, but our qualifying program is lights out right now,” Gravel said. “I’m very, very proud of that. From there, the track is always a little different in the features. There’s things the driver could clean up a little bit and things we could do with the car, but overall I’m very, very happy. Truly we had a chance to win every night if a couple little things go our way so I’m looking forward to coming back to Volusia.”

Brian Brown concludes Volusia visit with top-five in WoO’s DIRTcar Nationals finale; Sin City road trip on deck
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (February 9, 2026) - Brian Brown’s
season-opening trip to the Sunshine State is officially complete, and
despite a few hiccups in the mix including interference by Mother Nature on
night two of the four-day World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series program,
“Blackjack” did his best to maintain focus, eventually concluding
competition with a pair of top-tens. Brown, who calls Grain Valley,
Missouri, home, saved his best achievement for last, concluding the World of
Outlaws segment of the annual DIRTcar Nationals with a fifth-place outcome
on Saturday, February 7, starting from the pole before leading the first six
circuits.
As noted, Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen
Custard, Wilkerson Crane Service, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain
Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car,
concluded the World of Outlaws stretch with two top-tens, the first being a
tenth-place run from row seven to launch action on February 4.
With his Sunshine State stint complete, Brown will now look
west, ready to help High Limit Racing kick-off their 2026 campaign in Sin
City on March 12-14.
“Feels great to cap two weeks with a World of Outlaws
top-five. I feel like our car was good enough to win, things just didn’t
play out, and maybe I didn’t make all the right decisions from my seat.
Regardless, all except one night we were in contention to win and that’s
motivating, ” Brown stated. “Chad, JB, Devin..they worked hard our entire
trip and did a phenomenal job. A great way to kick-off the year, as well as
a great way to get a feel for my wrist and its condition. Gives me an idea
on what I need to do before we head to Las Vegas. I'm still battling a
little stiffness in my forearm, but I feel like I know what I need to do.”

Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with
High Limit Racing’s season-opening Blackjack Bash at Las Vegas Motor

Thiel launches WoO Rookie campaign with solid
performances at Volusia, set to return for Bike Week Jamboree
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 9, 2026
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (February 9, 2026) – “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports made the most of their World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series rookie campaign sendoff at Volusia Speedway Park, and although box scores may not paint the whole picture, notes were assembled and confidence was attained, already aiming big in their return to Volusia for the Bike Week Jamboree in early March.
Thiel, a former IRA Series champion who calls Sheboygan, Wisconsin, home, highlighted his DIRTcar Nationals effort with back-to-back A-Main appearances on Friday and Saturday, February 6-7, finishing 19th and 21st, officially, while achieving important Series points in the process. As noted, Thiel and Greg Wheeler will get their shot at Volusia redemption in just a few weeks, returning for two nights before heading north and west to Alabama.
“It was a decent week for our team, for sure. I just need to knock some rust off,” Thiel, ace of the Scott Thiel Builders, Gibbsville Cheese, Flint Trucking, Professional Plating, No. 16C sprinter, said. “We had some highlights and I’m proud of our efforts. Our results didn’t reflect our potential. I can’t make the mistakes I made against this caliber of guys. You can find yourself behind the eight ball in a hurry. Truly happy with the speed we had. I knew that the package we put together would be good. We have some time off to regroup and get even more prepared to hit the road.”

ByTyler Altmeyer
February 9, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (February 9, 2026) – Back-to-back nights at Perth Motorplex resulted in back-to-back top-tens for Justin Whittall and RBH Racing, doing so in the two-day Mr. Sprintcar Nationals on Friday and Saturday, February 6-7. Whittall, who has been Down Under since November, finished fifth and seventh in the two-day program, launching Saturday’s finale with the fastest qualifying time overall.
As noted, Whittall’s time Down Under has been extensive, but his schedule will come to a close soon, as only three dates remain on his 2025/2026 Tour of Australia, all three being at Perth Motorplex in Western Australia. Action will resume Wednesday, February 11, with Midweek Sprintcar Mayhem, followed by the two-day Krikke Boys Shootout on February 13-14.
“Overall, just a great weekend for our RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 team. They never stop working to improve and I’m ever grateful to be a part of this journey,” Whittall said. “We have a few races left before I head home to New Jersey, so we’ll do what we can to leave on top.”

Double-D concludes Volusia visit, all eyes on Lincoln’s Ice Breaker
Weekend
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 9, 2026
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (February 9, 2026) – It was a tough week in the Sunshine State for “Double-D” Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, and although the team fell short of their goals, it’s full steam ahead, already in full prep mode for the upcoming two-day Ice Breaker Weekend at Lincoln Speedway beginning February 28.
Dietrich, Central Pennsylvania’s sprint car champion in 2025, will work to sweep the two-day Pennsylvania lidlifter – the perfect send off for what proves to be another competitive year in the Keystone State.
As hinted, it was a tough outing for Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing in Florida, missing each of the World of Outlaws A-Main contests in the four-day turned three-day DIRTcar Nationals (Thursday’s event falling to Mother Nature) program.
“We’ll learn from our mistakes and move on…that’s all anyone can do,” Dietrich, driver of the Gary Kauffman owned, Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, No. 48 sprint car, said. “Hats off to my guys. No matter what was thrown their way, they worked through it. Regardless of our results or bad luck, we made the best of our trip to Volusia. But for now, it’s time to get ready for Lincoln.”

Perris Auto Speedway’s 30th Season Opener Is One Week Away
Perris, California — February 7, 2026 — For longtime racing fans in Southern California, it may seem hard to believe, but the 30th season opener at Perris Auto Speedway is just one week away. The milestone campaign launches on Saturday, February 14, when the track hosts the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, along with the PASSCAR Super Stocks and American Factory Stocks. Spectator gates open at 5:00 PM, with racing getting underway at 7:05. One week later, on February 21, Night of Destruction makes its 2026 debut.
The season opener marks the first of 24 nights of racing action on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval, conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds.
Headlining the sprint car portion of the opener is RJ
Johnson, the second-generation standout from Laveen, Arizona, who will be
chasing a rare three-peat in the USAC/CRA Series. Joining him in pursuit of
a three-peat is American Factory Stock standout David Stites of Canyon Lake,
who is also aiming for his fourth Factory Stock championship in five years.
Stites comes in red-hot after winning the first five Factory Stock races of
2025.

Equally dominant in 2025 was Shaun Estes of Riverside, who
controlled the PASSCAR Street Stock division. Estes won six of seven main
events, finishing second in the lone race he didn’t win. The effort earned
him his second Street Stock championship, though unlike Johnson and Stites,
his return to the top required patience—thirteen years, to be exact.

“Somehow, the first race at The PAS was 30-years ago on March 30,” Kazarian said. “Actually, it should be our 31st season. However, in 2020, we only got one race in due to Covid. We do not count that one.”
Fans attending in 2026 will also enjoy lower ticket prices. Adult tickets and tickets for seniors 65 and over on USAC/PASSCAR nights have been reduced by $5.00, now priced at $30.00 and $25.00, respectively. The speedway has also brought back student pricing for teens ages 13–17, with tickets reduced by $20.00 to just $15.00. Kids ages 6–12 are $10.00, active military with ID are admitted for $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. Fairgrounds parking is $20.00.
“On a sprint car night, the teen ticket is a huge savings,” Kazarian said in January when the schedule was released. “It is a $20.00 savings on those tickets from last year’s price. And it will be a $10.00 savings on Night of Destruction. I looked at other racetracks in Northern California, Central California, and Arizona. Most tracks in our marketplace have a teen price, and we are bringing them back.”
Advance tickets for all races are available at tix.com. Fans who prefer to buy on race night can do so, as plenty of tickets will be available at the ticket window.
“In addition to the lower ticket prices, we plan on putting the fun back in racing this year. Sprint Car/PASSCAR Stock Car shows and Nights of Destruction will all be filled with family fun.”

MISSISSIPPI / ALABAMA SPRINTS SET FOR MOBILE RETURN IN 2026
February 5, 2026 – The Mississippi / Alabama Sprints are set to return to Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama on 4 occasions in 2026, with additional races in the planning stages.
The winged sprint cars will return to the high-banked half-mile MIS on March 28 with additional races currently scheduled for April 25, May 23, and August 22.
Event organizer Fred Fayard indicated an additional 2-3 races will most likely be added to the schedule and announced soon. Fayard has made no secret about his plans to bring pavement sprint car racing back to the Panhandle area on a regular basis. Fayard is the single reason for the return of winged sprint cars to MIS. He personally has secured the funding to make this venture possible.
All the events will be open tire races for 360 c.i. engines paying $2,000 to win and $500 to start.
“We’ve got four dates already announced and we’re working on two more” confirmed Fayard. “We’re still negotiating with track owner Eddie Shoemaker. These are just gonna be open shows. We’re not gonna keep points or crown a champion. We’re racing for the pleasure of it.
“I’m up to eighteen cars who have confirmed they will
participate in all these races with the possibility for more. I’m excited.
It’s gonna be a great year for us. Like I said, we’re working on 2-3 more
races. We just announced four originally to let the racers know we we’re
serious and get them to start getting ready. We might add a race at another
track, but we’ll see” concluded Fayard.
Winged sprint cars returned to MIS last April 26. after a six-year hiatus.
Tampa, Florida driver Johnny Gilbertson won a thriller I front of a huge
crowd. The popularity of the winged sprint cars led Fayard to add two more
races later in the year last season.

KINGSHOTT’S STRONG EAST COAST TRIP
Strong finishes in two of the biggest 410 Sprintcar events of the 2025-26 season in the form of the Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship saw Dayne Kingshott and the Krikke Motorsport team come away from their most recent east coast trip very satisfied.
In what was their second east coast trip of the season, Dayne and the team were amongst the podium contenders in the Grand Annual Classic at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway in Victoria before going on to finish in fourth, and then they backed up that performance the following weekend with a hard-charging sixth-place finish in the Australian Championship at Mount Gambier’s Borderline Speedway in South Australia. There was no question about it, Dayne certainly had to work hard to achieve what he did in those two events, after he had started the Grand Annual Classic deciding feature race from position 10 and then in what was a mixed Australian Championship weekend, he started from deep in the feature race field – position 16 – and went on to come home in strong fashion to finish in sixth.
“I’m really satisfied to come away with strong finishes in two of the biggest events of the season on the east coast,” commented the WA # 2 Mobil 1 / Bunbury Toyota supported Maxim driver.
“The whole Krikke Motorsport team worked very hard over this busy fortnight on the east coast taking on the biggest teams in Australia, and although I look back over this trip with happiness, it’s hard not to think what might have been had I started a bit further up in the feature race field order at both the Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship.”
Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke echoed his driver’s thoughts on their recently concluded east coast trip.
“It’s been a big fortnight and to pick up two strong results in the Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship is something I’m very proud of,” he said.
“I feel like we were competitive every time we hit the track over this past fortnight and that's a testament to what Dayne, crew chief Matt (Cochrane) and rest of the team have been building. These tracks couldn’t be more different to the Perth Motorplex and Dayne’s exposure to these types of small tracks and high level of competition is minimal really, so I’m rapt with everything we achieved.”
With the east coast trip now concluded for Dayne and the team, their attention now turns to resumption of the Maddington Toyota Series, which Dayne currently holds down a strong point standings lead, with this Friday and Saturday night’s $40,077 to win Barbagallo Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals at the Perth Motorplex.

Jeremy Wonderling left the banquet as the top point fund money recipient at a record $26,300! The Wellsville, NY standout earned an unprecedented fifth title in both the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series and City Chevrolet National Weekly Series in addition to capturing the $1,000 City Chevrolet Track Pack at McKean County Raceway. Wonderling won a total of nine races at seven different tracks in four states. Four of those wins were on the Tour where he upped his all-time total to a milestone 30 victories. Wonderling beat out 2021 champion, Kyle Hardy, for the Tour title as Hardy took home a total of $12,000 in point fund monies.
In his second year in a Late Model, Demetrios Drellos, a Big-Block Modified standout, followed the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour for the first time and finished fourth in points, which earned him the $3,000 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year honors beating out Zack Carley after a year-long battle. Drellos' total point fund earnings were $10,773.
Fifth year Late Model racer, Rob Coffaro, ran more Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series races than ever and was able to earn the D&V Jewelers "Wheelman" Bonus Event Challenge Series Championship. The Slippery Rock, Pa. driver became the 15th different champion in 16 years! In addition to his point fund monies and hardware, Coffaro also received a Zamp Helmet.
Veteran racer Kyle Thomas captured the inaugural Dave Poske's Performance Parts Mid-Ohio Valley Series title. The Pennsboro, WV driver won four races and finished runner-up three other times. He captured his first career Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Hone Tour victory on July 3 at Tyler County Speedway fending off Wonderling. Thomas earned a total of $2,300 in point fund monies.
George Casto III had an excellent season to earn the Russ King Racing Futures Cup Championship as a 17-year-old. Casto had 8 top 5s and 12 top 10s including a victory at Tyler County where he finished second in their Track Pack points. He also finished fifth in the Mid-Ohio Valley Series points. In total, the Reynoldsville, WV driver earned $1,750 in point fund monies plus was the lucky recipient of the $1,000 Dave Poske's Performance Parts gift card!
Former RUSH Sportsman Modified Futures Cup Champion, Blaze Myers, won his first RUSH Sprint Car title since making the move to the Sprint Car division in 2021. Myers of Franklin, Pa. won a personal best 11 times in route to the $5,000 Billy's Garage Weekly Series title for car owner Ted Hull. Myers now has 26 career Sprint Car victories.
Former RUSH Karting racer, Wyatt Long, made the successful jump to the RUSH Sprint Cars in 2025 and won the Russ King Racing Futures Cup Championship. After some early season struggles with no top 5s in the first 12 races, Long caught fire beginning July 6 at Stateline when he finished fifth. From that point on, the 17-year-old Georgetown, PA driver became one of the most consistent top finishers in the Series ripping off 12 top 5s to end the season! Long also won the non-winners race at Tri-City.
Chas Wolbert celebrated his fourth RUSH Sportsman Modified Weekly Series title and first ever in the "Route 7 Rumble" Series. The Warren, Ohio driver won 14 times and took home a personal best $4,500 in point fund monies. Wolbert won the 2020 and 2021 Weekly Series titles before competing full-time in Big-Block Modifieds in 2022 and 2023 and returned to the class to win titles each of the last two years.
Karston King, a third generation Modified racer, turned 15 during this past season, which was his second in a RUSH Sportsman. After tying for seventh in the 2024 Weekly Series points and sixth in the Route 7 Rumble, the North Bloomfield, Ohio racer was able to move into the top 5 in points of both Series in 2025 in addition to winning the Futures Cup title, presented by his Uncle Russ’ Russ King Racing business. King finished in the top 5 on seven occasions and failed to finish in the top 10 just twice out of 20 starts. His career best finish came on August 15 when he finished second at Raceway 7, which helped him to finish third in the Route 7 Rumble.
Josh Wilcox became a new RUSH champion taking the $3,500 Pro Mod Weekly Series title. After running limited RUSH Pro Mod events in 2021 and 2022, the 40-year-old Bradford, PA driver joined the Series as a member in 2023 and finished eighth in points. The 2024 season was a dramatic increase moving up to second in points trailing Zain Harvey, who set a Series single season record with 19 victories. Wilcox got off to a hot start in 2025 winning three of the first five races he competed in taking the early lead in points and one he’d never relinquish. He ended the season with a Series best five wins including three triumphs at Stateline and two at McKean. Amazingly, Wilcox finished in the top 5 in 17 of his 20 starts.
Fifteen-year-old RUSH Pro Mod rookie Trenton Curry of Jamestown, NY copped the Russ King Racing Futures Cup crown.
In 2023, Kaden Michael won the RUSH Stock Car Futures Cup crown. In 2024, the son of RUSH Late Model veteran, Andy Michael, took the next step capturing the Weekly Series title thanks to 11 wins in 22 races! This past season, the 17-year-old Allegany, NY driver was able to win at four of the five tracks that hosted events including three wins at both Stateline and Eriez, a victory at Freedom, along with his first career Tri-City win in his first ever visit! For the third straight year, Michael is a RUSH Champion- this time taking his second straight Weekly Series title worth $2,000!
Raiddan Wilson captured the Russ King Racing Futures Cup Championship for the RUSH Stock Cars, The 17-year-old Great Valley, NY driver won 10 races, just one less than Michael. Most impressively was the fact Wilson had 35 top 5s in 39 races!
The highlight of the banquet was the special awards ceremony. The prestigious Legacy Award was won by RUSH Late Model racer Scott Gurdak. His legacy goes back well beyond the Chevrolet Performance Crate Engine racing era; in fact, this driver started his career back in 1975. Over his 50+ years he’s won in numerous divisions; Stocks, Sportsman, Super Late Models, Big-Block Modifieds, RUSH Pro Mods and RUSH Late Models. He won 49 Big-Block Modified races alone at 10 different speedways. He’s raced against the World of Outlaws and the Super DIRTcar Series.
For the past 11 years he’s primarily been a regular on the tough Eriez-Stateline circuit with his RUSH Late Model winning numerous races and always finishing near the top of the standings. From 2016-2021, he did double duty also running a RUSH Pro Mod where he won five features and finished in the top 4 in points in his first three seasons when he competed for the championships. Throughout his illustrious career, he’s been a hard-nosed racer, but always well respected both on and off the track. He's always maintained his jovial spirit and has brought many a smile to both his friends and competitors!
Nineteen-year-old Ben Easler won the Horizon Award. Easler made the move from go-karts into full-size race cars in 2021 aboard a RUSH Sportsman Modified. He had immediate success winning a feature event, finishing fourth in the Weekly Series points and capturing the Futures Cup title. He took a huge step forward in 2022 winning six features and the Weekly Series Championship. He added four more wins in a runner-up in points in 2023, which would be his final year in a RUSH Sportsman Mod.
In 2024, he jumped into the RUSH Late Models winning a Weekly Series event at Eriez Speedway and took on the Tour where he finished 11th in points. This past season was a major step forward with additional top 5s and top 10s, and even though he didn’t win any races, what increased was his competition level on the Tour. After only recording 2 top 10s in 2024 Touring competition, Easler reeled off 8 in 2025. He recorded his first career top 5s in back-to-back races in July at Tyler County and Ohio Valley Speedways then came home a career best 3rd in the $10,000 to-win Bill Hendren Memorial in October at Pittsburgh! In the end, Easler finished fifth in points and +6 gain over 2024.
Chas Wolbert won the first of two Outstanding Achievement Awards that were presented. Wolbert won his unprecedented fourth Weekly Series title in the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds in addition to his first "Route 7 Rumble" title. His 14 victories in 2025 set a new single season win record for the division, and bumped his all-time leading total to 68 victories.
The second Outstanding Achievement was awarded to Tim Engles of Franklin, PA. A former "410" Sprint Car and Big-Block Modified racer became a car owner first for his son Jason then had a ton of success in the E-Mods with standout drivers Steve Dixon and David Scott. In between, Engles has been involved with the BRP Mod Tour and also had involvement in the promotional team at Tri-City Speedway.
In 2021, Engles went a more affordable route in the RUSH Sprint Cars and won three championships and 25 races with Chad Ruhlman. The last two years has saw Brent Rhebergen and Zach Morrow each win a pair of features and finish in the top five in points. This past season was Engles' last as a car owner as he sold his operation recently to longtime crew member, Tim Phillips, who will continue to have Morrow drive the car.
The 2025 RUSH Car Owner-of-the-Year was awarded to Ted Hull. The veteran car owner from Oil City, PA had Blaze Myers in his car for the second straight year. This time, Myers won his first RUSH Sprint Car Championship and gave Hull his second as a car owner as Jeremy Weaver won the 2020 title. Myers won 10 of his 11 races this past season driving for Hull, who now has 26 career RUSH Sprint Car victories with four different drivers in seven years of ownership. Ted's father, Cal, a 96-year-old former racer himself, joined Ted to accept the honors.
Demetrios Drellos was recognized with the 2025 Miles Traveled Award. Drellos hit the road full-time with the RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series season winning the 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year. It's estimated Drellos traveled 13,000 miles from his home in Queensbury, NY to compete in the 18 completed events.
Mike Wonderling was given the Appreciation Award. The 52-year-old Wellsville, NY veteran completed his third year on the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour as 2025 was his 28th year of racing and his last as a full-time driver.
Special thanks to Velocita-USA for providing custom drivers suits to the five Weekly Series Champions; Wonderling, Myers, Wolbert, Wilcox, and Michael. Landrum presented the inaugural "Loyalty Bonus" in 2025 to RUSH Late Model Touring Series driver, Jason Knowles, which was worth $5,000.

Blackjack opens 2026 season with back-to-back ASCS
top-tens at Volusia
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 2, 2026
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (February 2, 2026) – “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing launched their 2026 season in a big way, igniting action with their traditional Missouri exodus to Florida to join the best in the country for the annual DIRTcar Nationals. Brown, who has been sidelined since August when his hand was injured at Knoxville Raceway, launched his new year with ASCS National Tour competition at Volusia Speedway Park on January 29-30, concluding the first two nights at speed with back-to-back top-tens.
Brown, the Grain Valley, Missouri, native and ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Service, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, finished fourth and tenth, respectively, actually earning the pole position on Friday before missing a crucial setup component.
Due to weather, Saturday’s ASCS National Tour DIRTcar Nationals finale – worth $12,000-to-win – has been postponed to Monday.
“Pretty decent start to our 2026 campaign,” Brown was quick to state. “Came out pretty quick on Thursday to finish fourth after battling towards the front. Friday, we tried some things in the A-Main to get even better for Saturday, but we missed it one-thousand percent. My wrist feels pretty good…I wouldn’t say it’s ‘normal’ yet, but it’s definitely allowing me to do my job. I’m still learning to deal with it, but overall, it feels pretty decent. Chad, Justin, Devin…everyone is doing a phenomenal job. We’re going to do what we can to cap this ASCS stretch with a win, then have a great four days with the Outlaws beginning Wednesday.
“Also, I would like to thank everyone from Housby, Randy Timms of Western Flyer Express, Tim from Spring Pro, as well as Mesilla Valley Transportation for all stepping up and lending a hand when our truck broke down on the way to Florida,” Brown added. “So many other people reached out and tried to help us out and we’re ever grateful for that. When the entire sprint car community steps up like that to lend a hand, it really feels great.”

Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with

GUILFORD STEPS IN FOR BOHUD RACING
New Zealand’s Max Guilford has been one of the finds of the Australian 410 Sprintcar season so far, and for the month of February, he will join the Bohud Racing team.
As the return of regular driver Michael Stewart from injury is not too far away, the 24-year-old from Auckland will steer the NS # 14 Losi / Illawarra Truck Repairs & Spares supported Triple X car for the next four weekends of racing.
“I’m looking forward to joining the Bohud Racing team, as they have a top operation and I’m confident of us being able to do some good things together,” expressed Guilford.
“I’ve done a lot of racing so far this season in Australia, and I’m really excited about getting back to Sydney, as I had a strong run that saw me pick up a podium finish during my first visit there last month, and with the Bohud Racing team being very strong around there, I’m hoping we can come together and contend for wins.”
Bohud Racing’s team owner Scott Jones is excited about having Guilford joining them for this month’s racing, which will see them compete at Wagga Speedway on February 7, Western Sydney Speedway on February 14, Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway in Queensland on February 21 for the Ultimate Pink Night (TBC) and then back at Western Sydney Speedway on February 28.
“Max has been able to put in a number of impressive drives at major events here in Australia and he also came off a strong campaign over in America last year, so he has plenty of recent runs on the board,” he enthused.
“I’m confident Max is going to be able to hit the ground running with our team and we can provide him with a great car, and there is no reason we can’t be amongst the front running contenders straight away.”

Logan Fenton and Brent Marks Launch New Team Ahead of 2026 High Limit Series Campaign
Myerstown, Pennsylvania (January 30, 2026) – Fenton Marks Racing Development officially announces a new partnership between Logan Fenton and Brent Marks uniting experience, performance, and leadership in pursuit of the 2026 High Limit Racing Championship.
This collaboration brings together proven on-track success and off-track strategy to build a competitive, sustainable racing organization at the highest level of sprint car competition.
There will be an additional development team and the drivers will be announced in the coming weeks and the primary focus will be on developing younger talent in the industry.
Brent Marks will serve as the primary resource for driver and crew development, performance and experience guidance. Logan Fenton will shift his focus to program building, business and marketing consulting, team structure and operations.
Pennsylvania native Brent Marks, eight-time High Limit Racing race winner during the 2025 season, will pilot the Fenton Marks Racing Development No. 19, while working to better his most recent championship-seeking performance that concluded third in High Limit Racing final standings.
In addition to their High Limit Racing commitments, Brent Marks and company will hit a number of other high profile events such as the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and other local races across the country to fill the gaps.
The 2026 High Limit Racing season will officially get underway March 12–14 with the SugarBee® Blackjack Bash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Prior to the series opener, Brent Marks and Fenton Marks Racing Development will head to the Sunshine State to compete in the Dirtcar Nationals, scheduled for February 4–7.
Attica Raceway Park
ATTICA, Ohio – Attica Raceway Park will host a special anniversary race Thursday, May 14 that will pay $20,000 to win ($1,200 to start) for 410 winged sprint cars.
“This is will honor the 20th anniversary of John Bores becoming the promoter of Attica Raceway Park. John’s dedication to racing, the Attica area community, to the race teams and fans and marketing partners is truly something to celebrate,” said Justin Liskai, Director of Operations at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant.
Liskai said there could be other incentives of the unsanctioned race as more details are still being ironed out. He said the total purse on May 14 will be $68,500.
“This is a great compliment to the two World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car events we will host in 2026. It’s just part of John’s efforts to get more funds into the hands of the race teams,” noted Liskai.
Liskai said the full 2026 racing schedule will be released in the very near future. Opening night for the 2026 season is slated for Friday, March 13.

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing Set For Busy Slate in 2026
PETERSEN MEDIA: In 2026, Rio Osso, CA’s Landon Brooks will again be behind the wheel of the Hamilton Racing No. 21L with car owners Roger and Lori Hamilton as the team will set their primary focus on the NARC Championship.
With an organizational change coming near the end of 2025, the team moved its equipment to Chico, CA where it will be under the care of Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst at Tiner Hirst Ent. The duo will continue to handle the day to day, and raceday operations for the team and hope to build off the instant success they saw in the final races of last season.
“I am really excited to be back with Roger and Lori Hamilton in 2026, and I am super excited for the schedule we have put together, “ Landon Brooks said. “I think it will be super fun to compete for the NARC Championship, and to have Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst in my corner again, I am extremely confident in what we can achieve.”
The Tiner/Hirst/Brooks combo is tried and true. Back in 2023, Brooks piloted the THE house car to four victories and came into his own as a winged sprint car driver. Reuniting at the end of 2025, they picked up where they left off as they won the Mark Forni Classic at Placerville Speedway, and backed that up with a win during the opening night of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA.
Looking forward to a full season together, the excitement is equal out of the Tiner Hirst Ent. shop, as work continues in preparation for the NARC opener in one months time at Merced Speedway.
“Steven and I are super grateful that Roger and Lori Hamilton chose us to be a part of their race team,” Kyle Hirst said. “It is really cool to be paired back up with Landon Brooks and continue to work with such a young and talented driver. I am probably as excited for this season as I used to get when I was behind the wheel, and with all that is happening with 410ci racing in CA it really is great timing and something special to be a part of.”
As for Tiner, he too expressed his excitement for the season ahead.
“Heading into 2026, I am super excited to be surrounded by great people and I am looking forward to continuing to work with Roger and Lori Hamilton and their race team,” Steven Tiner said. “I am a firm believer that if you surround yourself with great people then great things will happen, and the Hamilton family has built a great race team. I am so excited that we get to continue to work with such a young and talented driver in Landon Brooks.

Mallett Teaming Up With Rains for Aggressive 50-Race Schedule This Season
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (Jan. 29, 2026) - Jordon Mallett is eager to tackle a new opportunity.
Mallett has been selected to pilot A.G. Rains' No. 3 winged sprint car for the 2026 season, which features a schedule of 50-plus races across the Mid-South and Southeastern region of the country.
"Last year was different and really I'm looking forward to the opportunity to drive for someone, especially someone as established as A.G.," Mallett said. "He asked me to drive for him at the end of 2024 for two weekends and I felt like we were really successful right off the bat together. We gelled quickly and we were in contention. We had one slip away at a $10,000-to-win show. For as early as we were in our relationship then, if you give us some time we'll become a threat. He has his program where he likes it and I feel I adapted to it really quickly so with some time we can be a consistent contender."
Mallett produced a pair of second-place finishes and three top 10s during four main event starts with Rains in October 2024. This year's partnership is scheduled to kick off Feb. 13-14 at Southern Raceway in Milton, Fla., with the USCS Series.
"We'll be starting in a couple of weeks with the USCS Series in Florida," Mallett said. "The first off weekend we really have scheduled is at the end of March. Weather will play into all of that, but once we get fired off there aren't a lot of breaks. We're pretty aggressive right now. We have more than 50 races booked. We're not following any points or anything like that. We're just racing to race. We'll be around all of the Southeastern part of the country.
"The goals are really simple. We're setting out to win races. We want to put ourselves in contention each night. If we can put ourselves in contention the wins will come. The biggest thing is putting ourselves in a good spot every time we roll out of the trailer and being prepared to capitalize whenever we are in those situations."

A MONTH OF SPEED FOR MACEDO AND HIGHLINE MOTORSPORT
There was no question about it, American Cole Macedo well and truly stepped up his game throughout his 2025-26 season Australian racing trip with the Highline Motorsport team, and it saw the duo over the past month be amongst the front runners wherever they went.
Despite joining the Perth, Western Australian-based Highline Motorsport team in a last-minute deal, Macedo hit the ground running with the Daryl Clayden-owned team and they never looked back– both on the west coast and most recently on the east coast.
It all started with the busy Christmas-New Year period on the Highline Motorsport team’s home state when they contested the USA VS WA Speedweek Series, which also saw the second annual High Limit International at the Perth Motorplex thrown in there, and Cole was a model of front-running consistency and it nearly saw him come away with the overall USA VS WA Speedweek Series point standings victory but he had to settle for second. During the eight Speedweek Series rounds, Cole finished on the podium on four occasions with it being highlighted by an outstanding final round victory at the Perth Motorplex and also a hard-fought fourth-place finish in the High Limit International.
Brimming with confidence following an impressive Speedweek Series campaign, Cole and the Highline Motorsport team headed over to the east coast, and it saw a continuation of their solid form. Making their first trip to the Tolmer Speedway track in South Australia for the Tolmer Double Down, Cole ran fourth on the opening night and then backed up this speed with a third-place finish on the second and final night.
After the two nights at Tolmer Speedway, Cole and the team ventured to Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway in Victoria for the ARB International Sprintcar Carnival the following night and it resulted in them putting together an outstanding performance and coming away with the $15,000 winner’s cheque for what was their second victory of the trip.
With the President’s Cup at Geelong’s Avalon Raceway in Victoria being a night to forget, Cole and the team bounced back the next night with a top five finish in the Kings Challenge at Mount Gambier’s Borderline Speedway in South Australia.
The main focus of the east coast trip for Cole and the Highline Motorsport team was without a doubt the Grand Annual Classic at Premier Speedway over the Australia Day Long Weekend, and they certainly didn’t disappointment. Following a near-perfect run on the qualifying night by being fastest in qualifying, winning both heat races and then finishing the night second in the preliminary feature race, Cole was one of the hot favourites heading into last Sunday night’s Grand Annual Classic deciding feature race. After starting from position three for the feature race, Cole got to the lead after a dozen or so laps, but it all turned pear shaped on lap nine when he crashed out due to innocently becoming involved in an incident between two lapped cars.
Although Cole’s Australian trip ended in disappointment, Highline Motorsport’s owner Daryl Clayden couldn’t have been prouder of the whole team.
“It’s been a massive month for the Highline Motorsport team from the elation of winning multiple major races on both sides of the country to the devastation of crashing out while leading Australia’s biggest race with a dominant car,” he said.
“I can't thank the whole team enough, as they all worked their butts off, grew and learned together each and every night. Cole is a champion driver and bloke, and I’m so very thankful to him for taking the Highline Motorsport team to new heights.”
With Cole now returning back to his homeland to prepare for his busy 2026 season in America, the Highline Motorsport team now turns its attention to Kodi Clayden and finishing off his rookie 410 Sprintcar season strongly – starting with this Friday and Saturday night’s Australian 410 Sprintcar Championship at Borderline Speedway.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Aiming to Produce Third Straight Championship Campaign
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Jan. 29, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel is seeking to join rare air this season as the team aims to capture a third consecutive World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship.
If accomplished, Gravel would become only the fourth driver to win three World of Outlaws titles in a row and just the fifth driver to garner at least three championships in a career.
“It’s really cool to have the opportunity to do that,” he said. “It’s high on our priority list, but it’s not going to be easy. I feel like we have all the tools to continue what we are doing. I feel we are getting better and stronger as the years go. For only three other drivers to have done it, that’s pretty cool.”
The grueling schedule featuring more than 80 races begins next week when Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., hosts the 55th annual Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals Feb. 4-7.
Gravel, who is entering his sixth year with Big Game Motorsports, has won five of his last 15 World of Outlaws races at the track and the team has earned the DIRTcar Nationals championship two out of the last four years. Last season, Gravel finished second, fourth, third and third, respectively, to end up second in the event standings.
“Time seems to go by faster as you get older,” he said in reference to the offseason. “After Night 1, you’re in the swing of things. It’s a relaxing way to start the year starting in Florida. Definitely love starting the year at Volusia.”
The team is coming off a stellar 2025 campaign that culminated in a second straight World of Outlaws championship. That made Gravel only the sixth driver in the history of the Series to record that feat.
The team led the World of Outlaws in feature wins with 17 (18 total victories during the season) and in podium finishes, top fives and top 10s as well as feature laps led, quick time awards, heat race wins and dash appearances.
“On-track performance, I don’t know how it could get much better,” Gravel said. “We had two parts failures and the driver drove it into the fence the last race of the season. We had that flat tire in California, too. We had three DNFs and did what we did. Realistically the goal is always zero DNFs. Hopefully a maximum of one. Any more than that is really hurting your chances to make it happen.
“Right now the good teams are really, really good. There’s always pressure to stay on top.”

Olivia Shelbo Sets Sights on Rookie of the Year Honors in 2026
The 2026 season of the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour will feature a determined contender in the Rookie of the Year battle. Olivia Shelbo prepares for her first full-time campaign on one of the premier pavement sprint car tours. With resilience, patience, and a strong racing foundation behind her, Shelbo enters the season focused on growth, consistency, and making her mark against some of the best drivers in short-track racing.
Shelbo’s journey to the 2026 season has already been shaped by perseverance. She made two starts during the 2024 season, where the team faced early adversity. Her debut season was met with challenges, including engine problems at Anderson Speedway, followed by a serious wreck during practice at Toledo Speedway that halted her season before it could get started. Despite the setbacks, those two races provided critical learning opportunities and further fueled her determination to return stronger and more prepared.
Rather than rushing back, Shelbo took a measured approach to her development in 2025, focusing on building a stronger foundation for the future.
Olivia and her father, Kevin Shelbo, dedicated the season to rebuilding a brand-new racecar from the ground up. It is an achievement that marked a major milestone for the entire team. Kevin also contested five races in the car during the 2025 season, helping to develop the program, gather data, and prepare the equipment for Olivia’s return to competition. The project represented countless hours of work, commitment, and perseverance, strengthening the family-run operation and setting the stage for Olivia’s return to competition in 2026.
Throughout the process, the Shelbo family was surrounded by support from the pavement sprint car community, with teams and competitors stepping up to help along the way. Olivia and her team are especially grateful for the encouragement and support shown by Aaron Pierce, Kevin Besecker, and Brad Larsen, along with many others who made them feel welcomed and supported. That sense of community has become a meaningful part of their journey and a cornerstone of their return to the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour.
The 2026 season represents a fresh start and a new chapter in Shelbo’s racing career. With a full schedule planned and a renewed focus on performance and consistency, her goal is clear: contend for the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour Rookie of the Year title. The upcoming season will mark her first true opportunity to showcase her ability across the tour’s diverse mix of short tracks, including high-banked bullrings and historic pavement ovals that demand both precision and patience.
Shelbo’s Rookie of the Year campaign is built on more than just on-track performance. It reflects a long-term commitment to growth, resilience through adversity, and the support of a racing family that understands what it takes to compete at a high level. With lessons learned from early challenges and a year of preparation behind the scenes, she enters 2026 more focused, more prepared, and more motivated than ever.
As the green flag drops on the 2026 yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour season, Olivia Shelbo will be one of the new faces to watch.
“We are heading into this year with the goal to finish races and have fun,” Shelbo said. “I didn’t get an opportunity to do that in 2024. By being able to finish races, we will be able to learn the car and make positive adjustments.” Her journey from adversity to opportunity makes her Rookie of the Year campaign one of the most compelling storylines of the season, as she looks to turn hard-earned experience into success on the track.
High Banks Hall of Fame 2026 Class
By Ray Cunningham
Belleville, KS: The 2026 High Banks Hall of Fame induction class includes racers from many different forms of dirt track and pavement racing disciplines.
Kansans Delbert Smith and Luke Cranston, are joined by Nebraska’s Don Droud Sr. and Missouri’s Ray Boyles. As well as Illinois’s Don Lehmann, Colorados Scott Hersh, and Arizona native Dan Drinan in this group of distinguished racing personalities.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Doney-Lawson Racing’s Xavier Doney just short of a
Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic A-Main
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 26, 2026
ODESSA, Mo. (January 26, 2026) – Odessa, Missouri’s Xavier Doney, a regular fixture for Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis house cars, did everything he could to qualify for the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Premier Speedway in Victoria, Australia, but in the end, he was just short, concluding his visit with a sixth-place performance in the finale B-Main.
Doney, who powered the Keens Race Team No. 16 in his quick trip to Premier, made his return to Australia following his Chili Bowl Nationals attempt in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he finished eighth in the second of two H-Mains. Although it was Doney’s first-ever visit to Premier, Doney is no stranger to the southern hemisphere, entering the High Limit International program at Perth Motorplex just after Christmas – he finished 15th from the inside of row 12.
The 2026 season will be bigger than ever for Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, set to chase a 60-race schedule across nearly a dozen states, complete with High Limit Racing, World of Outlaws, and POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League competition. Just as seasons prior, Xavier Doney, as well as younger sister Natalie Doney, will each participate in the ambitious schedule, and although not all of their dates are locked and sealed, the team will likely begin competition in late February at RPM Speedway in Candall, Texas.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Doney-Lawson Racing would like to thank all of their marketing partners
including:Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven,
Stanton Racing Engines, Wilwood, Keizer Wheels, AL Driveline, and DMI.
DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall fastest overall in Grand
Annual Sprintcar Classic, to conclude Australia visit with five starts at
Perth
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 26, 2026
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (January 26, 2026) – Although it was contact that kept Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall out of the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic main event, occurring in the evening’s B-Main while battling his way through the field for a transfer position, the experience gained was second-to-none, highlighting Premier Speedway’s three-day program with the event’s overall fastest qualifying time.
As expressed, Whittall, ace of the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21W, was full steam ahead in the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic B-Main, cruising his way from 17th to eighth before the aforementioned contact occurred. Aaron Reutzel, fellow American hailing from Texas, raced on to win the Classic’s top prize.
With his visit to Premier Speedway complete, Whittall and RBH Racing will now turn their focus back to Perth Motorplex, set to visit the Western Australia staple on five occasions in February.
“Another incredible experience in Australia…just super grateful for the opportunity,” Whittall explained. “We were making a lot of progress in the B, but bad luck stepped in. That seems to be the underlying theme of our season Down Under. Regardless, I’m ever grateful to be a part of this RBH Racing team. We’ll do our best to conclude my trip with some great results.”
2025/2026 Tour of Australia:

NEW LOOK, BIG PLANS: Brock Zearfoss sets aim on 110 events in 2026
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 23, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (January 23, 2026) – Activating with a three-day ASCS National Tour slate at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, the “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing have big plans for 2026, set to take on a schedule comprised of 110 events across much of the United States all while “hitting and missing” many of nation’s biggest programs.
Zearfoss, a former Port Royal Speedway Track Champion and World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series full-timer, will center his focus on a “True Outlaw” campaign, launching with the aforementioned events in Florida and ending with a visit to BAPS Motor Speedway in mid-November. Major events circled on Zearfoss’ agenda include Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial, Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal Week, Knoxville Raceway’s coveted Knoxville Nationals, Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open, and the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.
With Zearfoss’ big schedule comes a new look, all of which is made possible by dedicated support by entities such as Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment – Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness.
“It’s going to be an exciting year. Running a ‘true outlaw’ schedule gives us the opportunity to race where it makes the most sense, all while maintaining our operation out of our own shop,” Zearfoss said. “A big schedule like this takes a lot of prep and planning, and we wouldn’t be in this position without all of our dedicated partners. Many have been with us for a long time and we’re proud to be associated with all of them. They’re like family and we’re excited to share another season with them.”
Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing will roll into 2026 fresh off of a two-win season, one of which being Port Royal Speedway’s annual Labor Day Classic – accomplished in Rich Eichelberger’s No. 8.

Landon Brooks Caps 2026 Chili Bowl Off In ‘B’ Main
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals with Matt Wood Racing, Landon Brooks had another strong showing that saw him cap the prestigious event off in the Saturday night ‘B’ Main.
“It was another really fun Chili Bowl with the Matt Wood Racing team,” Landon Brooks said. “I love all of the people that we get to spend the week with, and other than locking in Saturday’s feature event it was a great week.”
Getting his first taste of the Tulsa Expo Raceway on Monday during the Race of Champions, Brooks was set for his qualifying attempt on Tuesday night aboard the Lipper Construction/Hamilton Racing/THE backed No. 57W.
Drawing the outside third row starting position in his heat race, the Rio Oso, CA driver got off to a great start as he worked his way forward to a third-place finish.
Making himself eligible for a spot in a nightly qualifier, Brooks rolled off the starting grid from the third position looking for more points to ultimately improve his feature event starting position.
Jumping into second when the race went green, nightly points are so tight each night, Brooks would have earned the front row for the feature event had he been able to pick up one more spot and win the qualifier, but settling for a runner up finish he found himself 11th for the Tuesday night feature event.
From the outside of the sixth row, Brooks went to work on the tight confines of the Tulsa Expo Raceway. Working his way forward, Brooks was able to pick up track position lap by lap as he inched closer to a Saturday night lock in spot.
Racing his way up to fifth when the checkered flag dropped, Brooks wasn’t quite able to lock into Saturday’s big dance, but was in a great position to battle for a transfer berth as he was locked into one of the twin ‘B’ Mains.
Watching how the rest of the week unfolded, Brooks was back in action on Saturday night with the ‘A’ Main on his mind.
Taking the green flag for the ‘B’, Brooks settled into eighth as he kept his eye on of the seven golden tickets into the feature event. Getting into seventh on the 11th lap, Brooks was back to ninth a lap later amidst a hotly contested battle for the final transfer position.
Doing all he could as he searched around the Expo Raceway; Brooks capped his weekend off with a ninth place finish.
“I just needed some things to go better on my qualifying night to set myself up better on Saturday, but still I was really happy with how the car felt and how the MWR team performed,” Brooks added. “I really want to thank everyone that helped all week long, and makes the MWR team what it is. I am really thankful to have such great people around me.”
Landon Brooks would like to thank Lippert Construction, Hamilton Racing, Matt Wood Racing, Keizer Wheels, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, and Shane Golobic Composites for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 2, Wins: 0, Top 5’s: 1, Top 10’s: 1
ON TAP: Landon Brooks is now idle until February 28th when he kicks the 2026 season off with Hamilton Racing at Merced Speedway.
STAY CONNECTED: Stay up to speed with Landon Brooks and team by following @LCBrooks60 on Twitter/X, 60LandonBrooks on Instagram, HamiltonRacing21L on Instagram, HamiltonRacingg on Twitter/X or by becoming a fan of Hamilton Racing on Facebook.
"KENNY'S CASH"- A NEW PROGRAM IN MEMORY OF KENNY KENT TO POTENTIALLY AWARD OVER $5,000 TO HOVIS RUSH SPRINT CAR RACERS IN 2026
By Mike Leone

sold.
"Kenny's Cash" will start with finishing position one at the
first event of 2026 and will rotate one finishing position at each
successive completed event through position 18 then will restart at position
one for the 19th event and so on. In the event there are not enough cars for
the $100 bonus position, the bonus will go to the driver finishing last.
Bonus monies will accumulate and be distributed on a monthly basis.
"We were honored when Arnie came to us wanting to give back
to his fellow competitors in memory of his father Kenny who we all knew very
well," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "This program will spread out money
to all the racers throughout the year then award a lucky, deserving driver a
$1,000 bonus that thoroughly supported the Series. We have a similar program
with our RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour where Landrum
Performance Springs awards a $5,000 bonus on the final night to a driver
that competes in at least 75% of the completed events. This popular program
will be beginning its third year in 2026, and we're excited to bring this
new 'Kenny's Cash' program to our RUSH Sprint Car racers."
The RUSH Sprint Car Series is set to embark on what will be
its most impressive season to date in what will be its ninth year in Series
history. Well over 40 events are scheduled and the Series will be showcased
in conjunction with some of the region's premier "410" Sprint Car events
including a two-night wingless sprint car extravaganza with the USAC
National Sprint Cars at Lernerville Speedway, with the World of Outlaws

Cars at both Stateline Speedway and Michaels Mercer Raceway Park as well as
the FAST on Dirt Sprints at Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway and Tri-City
Raceway Park. Many of these events will be streamed live on DIRTVision,

Eastern Motorsport Press Association
(Wilkes-Barre, PA) Fifty-three looks good on the Eastern Motorsport Press Association (EMPA), as the professional organization wrapped up another successful convention. For the 53rd time, EMPA members, award winners and guests met to honor excellence in motorsports. This year’s convention took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Friday night EMPA honored champions from the recently completed racing season. Eight drivers, along with a ninth who announced an advancement in her career, recapped their seasons and spoke of things to come in 2026. EMPA thanks Steve Shultz, Aiden Grover, Tyler Truex, Ken Duke, Jr., Trevor Gach, Zach Sobotka, Austin Beers and Sarabeth Mesko for their participation on Friday evening that kicked off the convention.
Saturday morning traditionally divides members into two rooms. Photographers view their contest to hear comments about their entries from independent judges, while writers and broadcasters attend workshops relevant to their work. Len Sammons from Area Auto Racing News and the Scranton Times-Tribune’s Scott Walsh facilitated the opening session dealing with sending copy to news outlets. Walsh and Karl Fredrickson, EMPA’s Vice President and Publisher of Speedway Illustrated Magazine, then spoke about ethics in the media. Much of their discussion related to the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists: seek the truth and report it, be independent, minimize harm, and be accountable. EMPA board member and owner of DirtTrackDigest.com Mike Mallett, and BAPS Speedway’s Promoter Kolten Gouse then spoke about what promoters expect from the media. Both groups need each other for the health and continuance of the sport.
Scott Woodruff and Doug Foley, representatives of the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) explained the recent explosion of activity in the sanctioning body by new owner Darryl Cuttell. He purchased IHRA and several tracks as an investment in the sport for the future, and to provide a safe place for families. Their new Stock Car Series is geared to local racers, keeping costs down for them, and providing payouts more rewarding of their work.
Rex Merritt, recipient of this year’s EMPA/Junie Dunlavey Memorial Spirit of the Sport Award, provided some inspirational messages that guided his remarkable contributions as a driver and innovator in the mid-west.
Dave “The Godfather” Moody, longtime announcer/protégé of the late Ken Squier lead turn announcer for the Motor Racing Network and host of XM Speedway on Sirius Radio (channel 90), engaged the audience with a blend of the serious work of an announcer along with some lighter moments he’s experienced. He also drove home the importance of being right rather than being first in sharing news, regardless of the format.
In the afternoon Moody, Mike Warren from the Super DIRTcar Series, and veteran announcer Barry Angstadt participated in EMPA’s first-ever announcer roundtable. Moderated by EMPA’s Secretary and longtime announcer Carol Houssock, the panelists addressed many aspects of the job. These included preparation, delivery, equipment failures, working solo or with a partner, and overall advice to those new to the microphone, among other topics.
The evening Hall of Fame and Awards banquet highlighted the day for attendees. EMPA’s Hall of Fame now includes six new names. Frank Cozzen, Jan Leaty and the family of the late Rick Ferkel were on hand to accept those honors. Kenny Bernstein, Paul Page and Steve Smith, Jr. could not attend but sent messages of thanks. Racers Austin Beers and Alex Payne
accepted awards for excellence in the 2025 season, while Kyle Larson and Anthony Macri were unable to attend.
EMPA members were also recognized for their professional work in motorsports. Several members won cash prizes for creativity either behind a keyboard or a camera. The organization is indebted to Pocono Raceway and Bill Brice for sponsoring the writers and photographers contest for professional members.
Halmar/Friesen Racing won the Chris Economaki Memorial Newsmaker award, Rex Merritt won the Junie Donlavey Memorial Spirit of the Sport award, and BAPS Speedway Promoter Kolten Gouse picked up a pair of awards: the EMPA Promotional Effort of the Year and the Jerry Riegle Contribution to Sprint Car Racing award presented by World Racing Group. Finally, by membership vote, Ken Bruce is the Jim Hunter Memorial Writer of the Year and Walt Smith is the Ace Lane, Sr. Memorial Photographer of the Year. Winners of the latter two awards are revealed at the event, and both winners were overcome with emotion and thanked the organization and its members for the recognition.
All of the organization’s award winners are listed below.
“We had an amazing convention, and I can’t say enough about how great the whole weekend went. I wish to thank everyone who had a hand in making our 53rd annual EMPA Convention one of the best yet, from our sponsors, guest speakers, especially Dave Moody and Rex Merritt, and to each and every member and guest who attended,” said EMPA president Dino Oberto.
Based on the number of attendees at the seminars, the banquet, and from feedback over the weekend, those who were there for any part of it said the convention met or exceeded their expectations.
Work on the 54th convention commenced on Sunday morning, with members offering suggestions and comments to make what was great even better next year. Information on EMPA is available on www.empamedia.com.
“Congratulations to all the deserving award winners and Hall of Fame inductees. I am very proud of what this organization stands for and represents in motorsports media.”

Xavier Doney enjoys Chili Bowl experience, reverts
attention back to 2026 season
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 19, 2026
ODESSA, Mo. (January 19, 2026) – It’s one of the most competitive short track events in all of motorsports, and Odessa, Missouri’s Xavier Doney was in on the action. And although the 20-year-old was shy of qualifying for Saturday’s Chili Bowl Nationals 55-lap A-Main, the experience gained was unmatchable, already working to compete in the 2027 edition next January.
Doney, who was a Chili Bowl Nationals teammate to three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion Sammy Swindell, concluded his Chili Bowl Nationals effort in Saturday’s second H-Main, finishing eighth after starting 10th on the grid. With double features all the way back to the letter Q, the H-Main feat was impressive, earning his way there via B-Main start in Thursday’s preliminary.
Swindell, a former Chili Bowl Nationals champion, concluded his Chili Bowl effort in the second O-Main, racing his way through the evening’s second Q and P feature.
With the Chili Bowl Nationals complete, the 2026 season is in full view. Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will roll into 2026 fresh off of a competitive, yet successful 2025 season padded by a podium outcome in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League driver standings. In fact, Xavier Doney, the ace who achieved the aforementioned statistic, won twice in his POWRi schedule, ending his campaign with 19 top-ten finishes in 24 A-Main starts.
Doney-Lawson Racing’s official schedule will be released in the coming weeks.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Doney-Lawson Racing would like to thank all of their marketing partners
including:Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven,

CRSA RELEASES TENTATIVE 2026 SCHEDULE
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – January 16, 2026
When May begins, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints are set to roll.
Mike Emhof Motorsports and CRSA have released their tentative 2026 schedule, with a record 26 dates scheduled across the Northeast. The series will visit 13 tracks across three states, including two new tracks for the CRSA family.
All four miniseries (DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge, I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series and Dandy Mini Series) are returning for the 21st season.
Tyler Siri’s Outlaw Speedway will continue to be a staple on the season with at least three events, as one of the richest tracks of the 2026 calendar. Like last year, it will kick off the season, this time a couple of weeks later, May 8 and conclude the season Oct. 16-17 for the Hoag Memorial $4000-to-win event. The series will also contest races July 31 in a $2,011-to-win show alongside the Empire Super Sprints. All races at Outlaw, except the Hoag Memorial, will be part of the Dandy Mini Series. Last year saw Jeff Trombley become the all-time winner in CRSA history, with Dandy Mini Series champion Jordan Hutton and Southern Tier Series champion Dillon Paddock also winning.
Paul Cole’s Land of Legends Raceway will lead in series races with four on the CRSA calendar, set for May 9, June 6, July 2 and Sept. 18 on Gerald Haers Memorial Weekend. All races are part of the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge, in which CRSA continues to battle against the 305 Sprint track regulars. Trombley, track champion Bobby Parrow and defending series champion plus Rookie of the Year Zach Sobotka won last year at the track where legends are made. Land of Legends continues to be the only CRSA-sanctioned weekly 305 Sprint track where some of CRSA’s and the best 305 drivers in the region can be seen.
Al Heinke and Jimmy Phelps’ Weedsport Speedway will return to one date in 2026, set for its traditional Memorial Day weekend date, May 24, a weekend that continues to break the
record for CRSA car counts. This will kick off the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Parrow and Paddock each scored A-Main victories last season
The following weekend, after rained out last year, Brett Deyo’s Fonda Speedway returns and is set for May 30, also an I-90 race.
The series kicks off June at Parm Atwal and Tana Robinson’s Ransomville Speedway, which returns after a pair of successful CRSA shows, with its lone race set for June 5, adding on to the DisBatch Challenge. Paddock was able to sweep both races at “The Big R” last season.
The first new track on the CRSA calendar is Doug Rose’s Bridgeport Motorsports Park. The Kingdom of Speed in New Jersey will host a pair of doubleheaders June 12-13 and Labor Day Weekend Sept. 4-5 as part of the 305 Sprint Car Nationals. These weekends will be non-point challenges in conjunction with the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series.
Jason Broedel’s Utica-Rome Speedway is set for an expansion to the CRSA schedule, as “The Home of Heroes” will host three CRSA races in 2026, June 14, July 24 and Aug. 14, all I-90 Pit Stop races. Sobotka scored his first victory in Vernon last season.
John and Laura Wight’s Fulton Speedway returns June 20 after a successful inaugural trip to the high banks last season, also a part of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Sobotka took the checkers last year on a late race restart over Parrow.
After losing both races to weather last year, Penn Can Speedway, now under Nathan Aldrich, will return to the schedule July 17 and Sept. 12 as part of King of the Can weekend. They will kick off the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.
Terry and Nikki Brewer’s Woodhull Raceway will host a race July 25 as part of the Dandy Mini Series. Paddock, Sobotka, Spencer Burley, Scott Landers and Billy VanInwegen all took wins there last year.
The second new track of the schedule will be a visit to Tyler Bartlett’s Can-Am Speedway Aug. 7. The half mile track in La Fargeville hosts a weekly division for crate sprint cars Friday nights. This event will be a 305/Crate Challenge event.
Karl and Sara Spoonhower’s Thunder Mountain Speedway will host a pair of races, Aug. 15 and Sept. 6 as a part of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series. Last season, the Smith brothers, Johnny and Mikey, each scored their first career CRSA victory in the two races in Center Lisle. There are talks of a third date in the works.
Finally, after not running last year, The Dirt Track at Genesee, now under James and Nicole Gayton, will welcome back CRSA and conclude the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge Sept. 19.
Traditional festivities will begin and end 2026 March 14-15 with the Motorsports Expo at the New York State Fairgrounds and Dec. 5 with the Awards Banquet at Vernon Downs.

American Racer Named Official Tire of Great Lakes Super Sprints
Merrill, MI - Officials with the Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) have announced American Racer as the official tire provider for the 2026 season, concluding a 10-year relationship with Hoosier Racing Tire.
The decision follows ongoing concerns from GLSS teams over the last few years. Series officials determined that introducing additional competition into the tire market was necessary to help control costs and provide racers with a more sustainable long-term option.
Beginning in 2026, GLSS competition will require American Racer tires on the rear of the car. The approved tires are the American Racer SD38 in 28.5, 29, or 30 for the left rear, and the American Racer MC3 on the right rear. Teams may run any brand of tire on the front axle.
To assist teams with the transition, GLSS will implement a
burn-off period. Hoosier Medium right rear tires will be permitted for the
first four races, while remaining Hoosier left rear tires will be allowed
for the first eight races.
GLSS Owner and Promoter Barry Marlow said the timing was right to make the
change.
“American Racer sprint car tire availability is excellent, the quality has been consistent, and the pricing will save our drivers money each race,” Marlow said. “Our Hoosier representatives have been great to work with over the years, and this decision is no reflection on their service. ”
GLSS will continue to use the 2025 tire rule for its co-sanctioned events with USCS at I-75 Raceway on April 10–11, allowing Hoosier Medium right rear tires and Hoosier left rears. Tire rules for the June 26 event at Ohsweken Speedway and the June 27 event at Buxton Speedway are currently being finalized in coordination with Ohsweken and Southern Ontario Sprints officials.
With this change, the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints (GLTS) and Great Lakes Lightning Sprints (GLLS) divisions will operate under an open tire rule, allowing teams to compete on American Racer or any other tire brand of their choice.
Great Lakes Sprints will serve as the local distributor for American Racer sprint car tires. Inventory is planned to be warehoused in Lima, Ohio; Elkhart, Indiana; Quincy, Michigan; and Midland, Michigan. Tire deliveries can be coordinated through Specialty Fuels & Logistics alongside existing methanol deliveries.
The full 2026 Great Lakes Super Sprints rule book is expected to be released in the coming weeks. Schedules for the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints and Great Lakes Lightning Sprints will also be announced soon. For more information, visit GreatLakesSprints.com.
Brody Roa Returns to the Chili Bowl Nationals for the First Time Since 2022
Cypress, CA – January 13, 2026 — For the first time since
2022, Brody Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Champion and 2019 USAC
Southwest Series titleholder, will return to the prestigious Chili Bowl
Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As he has in previous appearances, Roa
will drive for Texas-based car owner Kevin Ramey. He is scheduled to compete
in his preliminary night on Friday, January 16, with the all-important
finals taking place 24 hours later.
Roa and his wife, Tailor, flew to Oklahoma on Wednesday morning in preparation for the event. For the talented Garden Grove, California, racer, this year marks his sixth career appearance at what has grown into the largest and most competitive midget race in the world. Roa will be one of 406 drivers all chasing the iconic prize — the coveted Golden Driller Trophy.
Work obligations prevented Roa from arriving earlier in the week, forcing him to miss Sunday’s pre-race practice. In his absence, Ramey’s 22-year-old son Dylan shook down the car and helped get the #7N dialed in ahead of Roa’s arrival.
“It has been a few years,” Roa chuckled about returning to the Chili Bowl. “Kevin Ramey called and asked if I wanted to go racing. He put another car together. He has six cars running, and I am one of his fleet.
A past USAC Southwest Series champion, Roa understands that success at the Chili Bowl often hinges on a strong preliminary night. A solid performance can position a driver well for Saturday’s alphabet soup of mains, while a tough night can mean starting deep in the program early Saturday morning.
“With that many cars on hand, it is always important to go forward every time you are on the track,” Roa said. “The heat race is important to keep your nose clean, pass cars, and have a decent race to get yourself in a qualifier. That is the name of the game on the prelim. night. If you get yourself in a C Main, that is a lot of cars to pass on a prelim night. I think it was the last time I was there driving for Ramey; we had a terrible heat race. We had to go from the C, to the B, and to the A that night.”
“I think my worst year was the D main on Saturday,” Roa recalled. “When I first went there, I said, ‘If I still have my suit on when they went to live TV, I am good.’ (MAVTV would go live about the D main time).”
Looking ahead to Saturday, Roa is aiming to maximize the opportunity in what he believes is the best equipment he has had at the event.
“I would like to get as far as I can on Saturday,” Roa enthused. “Have a good prelim night. I would like to run top 10 on our prelim night. That is doable for us. Put us in a B or C on Saturday and see what we can do there. The A would be ideal on Saturday.”
Roa feels confident heading into the week, believing this year’s entry gives him his strongest chance yet at the Tulsa indoor classic. He will pilot a Spike chassis powered by an Ed Pink Ford engine.
“This is the best midget program Ramey has had since I began driving for him. I think this is the seventh different engine I have run in a midget,” Roa laughed. “And I am pretty sure I have only ran about 10 different midget races. I have been through a bunch of engine packages.”
Preparation for the race has gone beyond equipment, as Roa has also focused on his physical conditioning.
“I have lost about 20 pounds since I got the call from Ramey,” Roa enthused. “Just to try and be my best version of a midget driver.”
Fans can hear more from Roa in a recent interview on Racer
Radio Show with Dave Stall, where he discussed his return to the Chili Bowl:
http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/radio26/RACERRADIO260104.mp3
(Roa’s segment begins around the 25-minute mark).
For fans unable to attend in person, every night of the Chili Bowl will be streamed live on FloRacing.
Roa would like to thank Kevin Ramey and his entire crew for the opportunity to compete in the Chili Bowl, along with the marketing partners supporting the effort: Precise Racing Products, Smiley's Racing Products, American Fire Extinguisher, Jambo Barbeque Pits, Kiwi Landscaping, HWY 360 Pawn, Bluemax Pay, The BLRH Group, Mow Time, Graham’s Wrecking Service, Ten Hagen Excavating, and Big Dog Printing.
Perris Auto Speedway Brings Back Student Tickets and Lowers Some Other Prices
Perris, California — January 12, 2026 — Perris Auto Speedway
promoter Don Kazarian has announced the return of student ticket pricing
along with reductions to some other ticket categories, making race nights
more affordable for fans and families in 2026. Fans will see the new pricing
take effect at the 30th Anniversary Season opener featuring the Avanti
Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars on February
14, followed by the first Night of Destruction of the season on February 21.
Beginning with the February 14 season opener, teens ages 13–17 with ID will be admitted for just $15.00. In addition, adult sprint car ticket prices have been reduced from $35.00 to $30.00, while senior tickets (65 and over) have also been lowered by $5.00, and are now priced at $25.00.
The $15.00 teen ticket will also be available for Night of Destruction events, allowing teens to attend for $10.00 less than in 2025. The only exception is the gate price of $20.00 for the June 27 Fireworks Spectacular and Night of Destruction. However, advance teen tickets for that night can still be purchased for $15.00 through tix.com.
“In a world where everything seems unaffordable, we are lowering some ticket prices,” Kazarian confirmed. “We are bringing the teen ticket pricing back and holding steady on other tickets in an effort to make it affordable to enjoy a family night at The PAS in 2026.”
“On a sprint car night, the teen ticket is a huge savings,” Kazarian continued. “It is a $20.00 savings on those tickets from last year’s price. And it will be a $10.00 savings on Night of Destruction. I looked at other racetracks in Northern California, Central California, and Arizona. Most tracks in our marketplace have a teen price and we are bringing them back.”
Fans are encouraged to scroll down for ticket prices for all Oval Entertainment shows at The PAS in 2026.
Kazarian is also energized by what lies ahead on the track—not just the new pricing structure.
“I am really looking forward to this season,” the longtime promoter enthused. “I think we are going to have a banner year. With Cory (Cory Kruuseman) taking over USAC, I think there is going to be some changes there. We may see some new teams there. In the stock car program, we have made some rule changes in the Super Stocks that I think are going to help. The Night of Destruction is its own animal, and I see nothing but bigger and better things for that. Overall, I am very optimistic for this year.”
“I think the fans are going to see the fun come back at the speedway this year. We are going to get back into the interaction with the fans, and we are going to be doing a lot of giveaways.”

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Zearfoss highlights USA vs Western Australia Speedweek
finale weekend with top-ten on Friday
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 12, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (January 12, 2026) – Despite it being the Jonestown Jet’s final weekend Down Under, Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport did their best to go out on top, rejoining the world’s finest in Perth Motorplex’s two-day USA vs Western Australia Speedweek finale on Friday and Saturday, January 9-10.
In all, it was a stat-filled weekend for the former Port Royal Speedway Track Champion and Outlaw full-timer, opening action with a top-ten achievement on Friday, January 9. Zearfoss finished sixth, officially, upping his Australia top-ten count to four on the year.
Unfortunately, a top-ten repeat was cut short on Saturday, as a nozzle line broke loose while running in the fourth position.
“I can’t thank everyone at S&D Motorsport enough. It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to come to Australia and race, and they’ve gone above and beyond,” Brock Zearfoss said. “We had our ups and downs this trip and some bad luck mixed in between, but it’s a privilege to be here and I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity.”
2025/2026 Tour of Australia:
Dec 6 | Perth Motorplex | DNF
Dec 26 | Perth Motorplex | A-Main 10th

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Tough luck continues for Whittall in
USA vs WA Speedweek finale
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 12, 2026
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (January 12, 2026) – Justin Whittall and RBH Racing did their best to battle the best in Perth Motorplex’s two-day USA vs Western Australia Speedweek finale on Friday and Saturday, January 9-10, but unfortunately, it was tough luck that prevailed, keeping the New Jersey native short of all potential.
Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, was forced to retire Friday due to mechanical woes, all before accidental contact ended his feature run on Saturday. With a full slate at Tolmer Speedway and Premier Speedway on deck, Whittall and RBH Racing will do their best to reset and refocus.
“Just one of those weekends…our time will come,” Whittall, ace of the RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21, said. “We had a lot of speed all weekend and I’m grateful for the opportunity. We’ll reset this week and be ready for Tolmer on Friday.”

KRIKKE MOTORSPORT DEFENDS SPEEDWEEK TITLE
Running eight race meetings against world class 410 Sprintcar competition over the past fortnight has been no easy feat, but that was what made the Krikke Motorsport team’s USA VS WA Speedweek Series title defence with Dayne Kingshott even more rewarding.
During the eight rounds of Speedweek between the Perth Motorplex and Bunbury Speedway tracks, the WA # 2 Mobil 1 / Bunbury Toyota supported Maxim driver never finished outside the top seven with an average finishing position of fourth and it saw him and the Krikke Motorsport team score a successful USA VS WA Speedweek Series defence and the $10,000 top prize that came with it.
When it came to this season’s USA VS WA Speedweek Series highlights, it was hard to go past Kingshott’s outstanding run of podium finishes over the three nights of the High Limit International, which saw him come very close to winning the $110,000 cheque on the final night but in the end had to settle for second behind American star Kyle Larson, and another highlight came in the form of a seventh and penultimate Speedweek round victory at the Perth Motorplex.
“It’s a big achievement for the whole Krikke Motorsport team to make it back-to-back Speedweek titles, as we have all worked so hard up against world-class competition night after night, so to come out on top after the eight rounds is very satisfying for everyone,” commented Kingshott.
“After being so close to taking out the High Limit International during Speedweek, I was determined to try and get a win in the remaining rounds, which I managed to do at Perth on the second last night, and it was great to be able to do that on my way to sealing the Speedweek title for another season.”
In what has been an intense fortnight of world-class 410 Sprintcar racing, Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke was mighty proud of his team’s efforts.
“It’s great to defend the Speedweek title and a pleasing reward for the whole team for their endless efforts,” he praised.
“The past fortnight has been massive for everyone in the team and it’s a mega effort to win Speedweek against the calibre of teams over the past eight nights. The series has a lot of history and has always been against high class USA drivers, so it’s always been tough to win. To win the one Speedweek round was cool, but then to go on and win the series is something to be proud of.
“The team will now have this weekend off, before we hit the road to compete over on the east coast at the Kings Challenge, Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship, and hopefully we can continue our great season so far over there.”

Liguori & Henes Lead Honorees During Must See Racing Night Of Champions
GRAND BLANC, Mich. (Jan. 11, 2026) – In its now-traditional gala fashion, Must See Racing recognized its top drivers and teams from the 2025 season during the sanctioning body’s Night of Champions celebration Saturday night at the Fairfield Inn & Suites of Grand Blanc.
The entire evening was streamed live to a worldwide audience for the first time thanks to Racing America, the official live broadcast partner of Must See Racing.
Chief among the banquet’s honored guests were Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series champion Joe Liguori and Must See Racing Midwest Lights crate sprint car titlist J.J. Henes, both of whom were recognized for their third series crowns.
Though he didn’t reach victory lane in 2025, Liguori’s consistency was unmatched, as he raced to a 119-point advantage in the final standings and clinched the title with a race to spare prior to the finale at Montgomery (Ala.) Motor Speedway in October.
“Usually I’m a lot better at this [speaking] because I’m fired up, but nothing bad has happened yet!” quipped Liguori in the opening to his title acceptance speech. “Us Italians, we have attitudes.
“We’re a small team and it’s hard to do what we do sometimes, but we just kept pushing along all year last year,” Liguori added. “We wanted to get back to the winner’s circle – that’s the one box we didn’t check in 2025 – but getting the big trophy isn’t a bad way to end the year either. Things will look a little different this coming season, driving for PCS [Racing] instead of in the family car, but we aren’t going anywhere … you’ll have to deal with this guy all the same.
“Must See Racing has an outstanding platform and it’s an honor to stand on it and represent the series as a champion again. We’ve got three of these things now, so the chase is on to try and catch [five-time series titlist Jimmy] McCune at the top.”
Henes continued his reign at the pinnacle of the Midwest Lights crate sprint car division, making it back-to-back titles and a trio overall in a bittersweet celebration for that field of competitors.
The 2025 season marked the final year of competition for the Midwest Lights as part of Must See Racing, which will transition its focus solely to the 410ci sprint cars of its national tour for 2026.
It’s a change that Henes noted in his championship acceptance speech as he nodded to the appreciation he’s had for being able to race on the Must See Racing platform since his inaugural title-winning season in 2020.
“Without Jim and Nancy putting in so much effort to even have the series, we wouldn’t have been able to do any of the cool things we’ve done in the past six years,” pointed out Henes, who ends the Midwest Lights’ tenure as its winningest driver, best qualifier, and most-decorated champion.
“To be at every race since the beginning, to win the first championship and now the last one, it’s been a lot of fun with a lot of good competition and a lot of people that you can really have fun racing right next to and knowing that they’re going to take care of you on the racetrack,” he added. “Just a pleasure to be here and represent this division … and excited about what’s next for our family and our team.”
Henes will turn his primary focus toward dirt sprint car racing and asphalt supermodified action in 2026.
Among the other Must See Racing national honorees Saturday was Theresa Statham, the leader of the Statham Construction No. 36 squadron, who received Car Owner of the Year honors for the first time.
Though she and husband Ken were unable to attend Saturday’s banquet in person, Statham issued a statement that was read during the live banquet broadcast, giving her deep appreciation to MSR founders Jim and Nancy Hanks for giving the Florida-based team a “first-class” arena to race in.
“We’re extremely grateful for this incredible honor and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who voted to recognize us,” Statham wrote. “We’re truly touched and appreciate all that Must See Racing does in the sprint car community.”
Four-time season winner Bobby Santos III was named Driver of the Year for the first time after posting an average finish of 1.2 across his five series starts in 2025.
“This whole bunch [with MSR] is awesome wherever we show up to compete,” said Santos. “Appreciate the mutual respect from everyone involved and it’s a lot of fun to run with the competition that we get to over here. We really enjoy it – not just winning, but having to work hard to keep improving.”
Ken Mingus brought Crew Chief of the Year honors to the family-owned Mingus Racing team in an emotional reveal led by his son and driver, Kevin Mingus, who finished top three in the point standings for a second year in a row after a fierce battle with Canadian Aaron Willison down the stretch.
Though he couldn’t make the trip from New England to Michigan, Alby Ovitt was named Rookie of the Year for the national Must See Racing series as the division’s top first-year competitor.
Additional Midwest Lights award recipients included Brandon Lemmerman (Rookie of the Year) and Justin Weese (Crew Chief of the Year), while Jon Henes was named Car Owner of the Year once again.
J.J. Henes and Charlie Baur were honored as co-Drivers of the Year on the Midwest Lights side of the aisle, something Baur – who received the award for the first time – wasn’t expecting.
“I think the hardest thing for me, at least, is that this [Midwest Lights] chapter has to come to an end right after we really clicked on so many things throughout the year that put our pavement program where we’ve wanted it to get to,” said Baur. “I can’t thank Jim and Nancy enough, though, for giving us somewhere to race that has given us such great competition and so many good memories that we’ll always cherish as a family and a team.
“We might be switching primarily to dirt [sprint car] racing for 2026, but we’re keeping our pavement options open … and who knows, you guys might not be done seeing us yet!”
A complete replay of the 2025 Must See Racing banquet can be viewed on RacingAmerica.TV.
With the 2025 season officially in the books, Must See Racing will kick off its 2026 points campaign for the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series at South Carolina’s Anderson Motor Speedway on Friday, May 8.

MICHAELS MERCER RACEWAY PARK CELEBRATES 75TH ANNIVERSARY
22 EVENT SEASON IN 2026.
By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)
Michaels Mercer Raceway Park under the first year ownership
of Earl and Michelle Michaels will celebrate it’s historic 75th anniversary
season with a jampacked 22 event event season which encompasses all types of
motorsports from January through October.
In late 2025 Earl and Michelle Michaels purchased the
facility from his brother Ed and at the end of the season already began to
make improvements and will continue to do so throughout the winter. The main
focus will be on more auto racing events as there are no less than 18 nights
of auto racing for the local drivers and fans to attend. There will also be
many county discount nights as well as more functions for the younger
generation of race fans including bike races, autograph nights, and kids
club events.
The bread and butter of Mercer will continue to be the
regular weekly three division show of the racesaver 305 sprints, the DIRT
602 crate sportsman, and the mini stocks, which will appear on every regular
Saturday night event along with certain divisions for specials. The 305
sprint cars are expected to have larger numbers this year. The 602 DIRT
sportsman with no other track racing them weekly on Saturday nights now
should have a heavily contested full field of modifieds each week with an
already highly competitive field with last year just one repeat winner in 11
races. The RUSH sanctioned modifieds are able to compete with minor
modifications. The mini stocks should also have an increased car count being
sanctioned by the SCDRA with most of the tracks locally now following these
sanctioned rules.
The methanol fueled 410 winged sprint cars will make seven
appearances, including two by the All-Star sprint cars and also will be
kickoff the annual western PA sprint speedweek on the Wednesday night show.
The big block modifieds will be showcased in two big shows..
one being the annual Michaels memorial and also the Rick and Bob Ryder
memorial. Both will be extra high paying events.
After a very successful exciting show last year, the RUSH
non-wing sprint cars will make at least nine appearances on the tricky oval
which will all count for RUSH weekly points. There are no less than 25 cars
that competed in the series in 2025 and with Mercer being known as a
non-sprint car track for many decades it should prove to be exciting as the
traditional sprint car returns to Mercer.
The super late models will return again for the traditional
opening night chiller thriller scheduled for the last Saturday in March with
more shows possible throughout the year.
The micro sprints will make a return to Mercer, as well as
appearances by the crown Vics and the mod lites.
The annual little guy nationals will return in its usual
complete show format for both days featuring seven classes or more each
night.
The 75TH anniversary season will kickoff on January 24 with
the return of the Jack Frost Enduro, along with a demo derby weather
permitting, and the season will close with the annual “Pork” Mathieson
memorial enduro and demo derby.
Several swap meets, car cruises, and tractor pull events will also be on the schedule.

opportunities please visit our new facebook page Michaels Mercer Raceway

LIGUORI; HENES TO BE CROWNED MUST SEE CHAMPIONS AT AWARDS CELEBRATION
January 8, 2026 – Holly, Michigan - Joe Liguori will be officially crowned the 2025 Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com champion this Saturday night January 10, 2026, at the Champions Awards Celebration. It will be Liguori’s third series title in the past five years.
Even though Liguori has won multiple MSR titles, he’s been unable to win the titles in consecutive order. Liguori attributes this to bad luck.
“It’s been luck” reflects Liguori. “We had it in bag in 2022 until we blew the driveline out at the last race. That cost us the championship. In 2023 I was plagued with engine troubles. I really didn’t race but two races all year. Then we came back and won our second consecutive championship in a row for the first time. I’m happy with where we’re at. I would have liked to win more championships and win more races too.”
When Liguori was asked to grade his 2025 season, he gave an honest answer.
“I would probably give myself a B or B plus area. No wins but we had a couple good runs where we were competing for wins. Sandusky had a tree kind of get in the way of that one. That cost us a good solid finish that night, We had several podiums throughout the year.”
Ligouri drove for the Florida based Racing team at the final Must See Racing weekend of the year in Florida and Alabama in early October. He ran strong and was in contention for the win on the final night of the season at Montgomery, Alabama.
“That was pretty good to come out of the box so strong. We were plagued with fuel issues early in the day and didn’t get a whole lot of track time with the car. We had won there in 2021 with our own car, so we had plenty of notes.
“We were fast and started a little bit behind Aaron Willison. We kept clean air for the most part. You could have thrown a blanket over his car and my car. Right at the end I faded a little bit once Bobby (Santos) got around me. Another car in front of you with dirty air puts you behind at some of those high-speed joints. I feel if we were ahead of Aaron at the end of the race it could have been a different story.”
Liguori is eagerly waiting for the 2026 season and has high hopes driving for the PCS team several times next season.
“The plan is to defend our Must See Racing championship.
We’ll run seventy-five percent of the races for Doug Kenny the #5 car. The
other races will be in our own car. We’re also gonna chase the Race for the
Million Tour. We’re gonna go out and do the best we can all year,” concluded
Liguori.
The ceremony will also honor the accomplishments of the Must See Racing
Midwest Lights Series. JJ Henes will be crowned the 2025 Midwest Lights
Series champion during the Champions Awards Ceremony.
this Saturday’s Champions Awards Celebration will be streamed live by Racing America beginning at 7:00 PM EST. by going
to http://www.racingamerica.com or visiting the Must See
Racing Facebook page.

Brad Sweet Australian Trip Wrap Up!
IT’S A WRAP! In what was a short Australian 410 Sprintcar racing trip, Brad Sweet and the Landrigan Motorsports team recently concluded their 2025-26 season campaign over the Christmas-New Year period at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia.
Contesting a total of four nights of racing at the world-class Perth Motorplex, the American racer from California ran all three High Limit International nights, along with the fifth USA VS WA Speedweek Series round, and it saw the Sweet-Landrigan Motorsports team duo improve their performances, which resulted in 10th, sixth, 11th and fifth place finishes aboard the USA # 49 TLC Contracting supported Maxim.
“Although we would’ve liked to have finished a bit higher in the order over the four nights, the competition was tough and we were fairly happy with our progress, but our results weren’t a true flection of our overall pace,” commented Landrigan Motorsports team manager Jamie Landrigan.
“This was the fourth season in a row that Brad has ran for the Landrigan Motorsports team here in Australia, and as we always do we have a good time together – both at the race track and away from it.”
Running a team with one of the world’s leading 410 Sprintcar drivers doesn’t just function by magic, and the Landrigan Motorsports team would like to thank Steve Melville, American crew chief Joe Mooney and the cameo pit crew appearance during the High Limit International of Sprintcar legend Robbie Farr for their support. All three of these people played positive roles within the Landrigan Motorsports team during Sweet’s latest Australian trip. Also, a special thanks must go out to the team’s youngest pit crew member in Zac who was fun to have around helping out where he could on race nights with great enthusiasm.
When it comes to the question of Sweet returning to Australia with the Landrigan Motorsports team next season, the answer is a resounding YES. Stay tuned for future Landrigan Motorsports team updates regarding Sweet’s Australian return.
The Landrigan Motorsports team would like to thank their supporters:
· TLC Contracting
· Slims Tyre Service
· B.L. & S.G. Brick & Paving Cartage Contractor

ACTION SPRINT TOUR SET TO RETURN IN 2026
January 6, 2026
OHSWEKEN, ON – The Action Sprint Tour is officially set to return in 2026, bringing Crate Sprint Car competition back to the forefront with an ambitious schedule spanning two countries and seven premier dirt tracks.
The 2026 Action Sprint Tour will feature eight races at seven different venues, traveling across Ontario and making a highly anticipated stop in New York State, reaffirming the series’ regional reach and growth.
Originally launched in 2018 to provide teams with opportunities to compete at new and exciting facilities, the Action Sprint Tour took a two-year hiatus before being strategically rebuilt for the 2026 season.
“The crate engine sprint car class is the fastest-growing division in dirt racing right now,” said Clinton Geoffrey, Ohsweken Speedway General Manager and Action Sprint Tour Director. “These teams have proven they are willing to travel, and this series gives drivers the chance to earn the right to say they are the best in the region.”
The tour will kick off Friday, July 10, at Ohsweken Speedway, followed by events at Buxton Speedway, Can-Am Speedway near Watertown, New York, Brockville Speedway, Brighton Speedway, a return visit to Ohsweken Speedway, and then Merrittville Speedway, before concluding with the season finale at Cornwall Speedway.
The 2026 series champion will earn $2,500 from the points fund, while each event will pay $1,200 to win and $175 to start, offering competitive payouts throughout the season. Championship points will be calculated using each driver’s best six finishes, with five attendance points awarded at every event, encouraging both performance and commitment to the full tour.
Sponsorship and marketing opportunities remain available, as a primary series sponsor has yet to be announced, creating excitement around what has been a not-so-well-kept secret within the racing community.
“Rumours have been circulating for months,” Geoffrey added. “The teams deserve this opportunity, and the fans will be rewarded with strong car counts and outstanding racing. We’re excited to see this class continue to grow.”

Tony Stewart Named Grand Marshal Of The 40th Chili Bowl
Nationals Powered by NOS Energy
TULSA, Okla. (January 5, 2025) When you envision the Mount
Rushmore of racing, for many, the name Tony Stewart is on that list, and
rightfully so.
A USAC Triple-Crown titlist, Chili Bowl champion in 2002 and
2007, along with driving titles in NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, and SRX, to name a
few, the list of accolades and accomplishments puts the man known as “Smoke”
in a league of his own.
Making his return to Tulsa in 2026, the Chili Bowl Nationals
powered by NOS Energy Drink is honored to name the Columbus, Ind. native
Grand Marshal of the 40th running of the World’s Greatest Midget Race.
“Not only is Tony a winner here, but he was also part of
what really made the Chili Bowl take off in the early 2000s, and was the one
who really started to rebuild the connection between dirt track and NASCAR
fans. He’s an ambassador to our sport at more levels than anyone; he's a
great friend, and they don’t make them like Tony anymore, so being able to
honor him as our Grand Marshal means a lot to me, and this event,” stated
Chili Bowl co-founder, Emmett Hahn.
"I remember, we made Tony an award in 2014 to recognize what
he has done for Sprint Car racing, but this is our chance to let him know
how much the Chili Bowl appreciates him."
Along with the two Golden Drillers, Stewart has a dozen
championship A-Feature starts in 14 appearances, three podiums, four top
fives, and seven top tens. His last A-Feature appearance was in 2013.
Stewart has also been part of the track preparation crew and spent several
years working alongside Brad Chandler (aka Gravel), Steve Hahn, Matt Ward,
and Martin Edwards.
A driver and owner champion, Stewart owns titles in NASCAR,
as well as 14 USAC owner titles, nine in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy
Drink Sprint Car Series, and four in the All Star Circuit of Champions TQ
Midgets Series, as well as wins in Sprint Car racing’s most prestigious
events, including the Knoxville Nationals, 12 times.
The owner of the famed Eldora Speedway since 2004, Stewart's
cars have won the King's Royal on six occasions.
The 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy
Drink takes place January 12-17, 2026, under the giant roof of the SageNet
Center in Tulsa, Okla. Fans unable to attend the Chili Bowl Nationals can
watch every lap live at http://www.floracing.com.
Monday and Tuesday, reserved seats are available at (918)
838-3777, or at the event. Pit Passes are sold at the event and include
general admission seating on the back straightaway. Pit Passes are $60 per
weekday and $75 on Saturday. Those are sold at the event.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Mechanical woes stir up Whittall’s
weekend; Perth to host USA vs. WA Speedweek Finale

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (January 5, 2026) – It was a tough weekend Down Under for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall, and although the ace of the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 was forced to settle for a DNF as a weekend highlight, his focus remains sharp, ready to regroup for Perth Motorplex’s USA vs. Western Australia Speedweek Finale on Friday and Saturday, January 9-10.
Before a part failure ended his progress in the aforementioned DNF, Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, was battling for a top-five, climbing ahead from the outside of row six at Bunbury Speedway on Saturday, January 3.
“Had some things not go our way this weekend, but we’ll regroup and be ready to go again,” Whittall said. “Everyone at RBH Racing does an amazing job and I’m certainly privileged to be here. We have a lot of season left in Australia with a packed January schedule…plenty of time to get back on track.”

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Zearfoss with tough luck in weekend double, Perth
Motorplex ahead

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
JONESTOWN, Pa. (January 5, 2026) – The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport went toe to toe with some tough luck during the recent weekend, forced to conclude each of their starts at Perth Motorplex and Bunbury Speedway short of expectation. In fact, mechanical woes were the culprit in the aforementioned double, breaking a right rear shock stud on Friday and a birdcage – while running second – on Saturday. Regardless, the team did the best they could to persevere, still managing to finish 12th at Perth.
The Goldstar Transport, Fennell Tyres, Blue Water Shipping, Velocity Truck Centers, No. W95 team will push forward and continue their January stretch with another doubleheader, this time back at Perth Motorplex for the USA vs. Western Australia Speedweek Finale on January 9-10.
“If we can shake off some of this bad luck, we’ll be just fine,” Brock Zearfoss noted. “We still have one week to go. Can’t thank everyone at S&D Motorsport enough for their hard work, support, and most importantly, hospitality. It’s a privilege to come to Australia and compete and we’re enjoying every minute of the experience. We’ll work to end our campaign on top.”

RAISING THE BAR: Doney-Lawson Racing sets aim on major
schedule with 60 events in ten states; Partnership opportunities still
available
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 5, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (January 5, 2026) – The 2026 season will be bigger than ever for Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, set to chase a 60-race schedule across nearly a dozen states, complete with High Limit Racing, World of Outlaws, and POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League competition. Just as seasons prior, Xavier Doney, as well as younger sister Natalie Doney, will each participate in the ambitious schedule, and although not all of their dates are locked and sealed, the team will likely begin competition in late February at RPM Speedway in Candall, Texas.
With a major schedule comes major commitment, not just in time and effort, but in equipment and resources. To accommodate these commitments, Doney-Lawson Racing is actively seeking outside investment with varying partnership levels available. Those interested in joining the DLR Family should inquire within immediately, doing so via the team’s website or contact information below.
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will roll into 2026 fresh off of a competitive, yet successful 2025 season padded by a podium outcome in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League driver standings. In fact, Xavier Doney, the ace who achieved the aforementioned statistic, won twice in his POWRi schedule, ending his campaign with 19 top-ten finishes in 24 A-Main starts.
Doney-Lawson Racing’s official schedule will be released in the coming weeks.

2025 All-HammerDown! Team Release –
December 31, 2025 — Rocklin, California
HammerDownUSA.com is proud to announce the 2025 All-HammerDown! Team, honoring the top 40 short track open-wheel racers in the United States. This elite group is led by Rico Abreu, the champion of the 2025 Racers’ Racing Series.
Drivers earned their place on the All-HammerDown! Team by finishing inside the top 40 of HammerDownUSA.com’s Racers’ Racing Series standings, which were determined over a demanding 60-race schedule featuring many of the nation’s most prestigious and competitive events. To score points, a driver had to finish inside the top eleven of an A-Feature. In total, 157 drivers earned points in 2025.
“It was a remarkable year,” said Bobby Gerould, editor of HammerDownUSA.com. “There were nine races that paid $100,000 or more to win. Of the 60 events on the points-paying schedule, 51 paid at least $20,000 to the winner.”
Donny Schatz extended his unmatched streak as the only driver to be named to the All-HammerDown! Team every year since its inception in 2003, marking 23 consecutive selections.
Three racers earned first-time selections in 2025: Chase Dietz, Tanner Holmes, and Sye Lynch. This year’s roster reflects an extraordinary age range of talent — from 19-year-old Ryan Timms to 60-year-old veteran Lance Dewease.

MUST SEE RACING SET TO COMPETE IN CANADA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2026
December 30, 2025 - Holly, Michigan - Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com today announced that the series will be competing in Canada for the first time in series history when it visits Delaware Speedway in Delaware, Ontario, Canada Friday August 7, 2026.
The 40-lap event will pay $10,000 to win and $700 to start. All purse monies will be paid in U.S. Dollars.
This will be the first time since June 5, 2009, that winged pavement sprint cars have competed anywhere in the Canadian Province of Ontario. Mike Ling won that last event at Delaware Speedway over 16 years ago. It is only fitting that the return of winged pavement sprint cars to Ontario will be at the half-mile semi-banked Delaware Speedway.
Delaware Speedway management has a huge opportunity to host this historic MSR event and Delaware Speedway Director of Motorsports Alex Nagy realizes how big this event will be.
“We’re always looking for different things for our fan base” explains Nagy. “We try to feature a diverse cross section of different types of racing. We’ve looked at sprint car stuff on and off a little bit. We had some contact with local car owner Wade Litt. His son Ryan races for him, and they run with Must See Racing. He put us in touch with Must See Racing president Jim Hanks and we were able to put something together.
“It’s very exciting to us to be the ones to bring back these types of cars to the province. Fans haven’t seen these types of cars in a very long time. The timing was right and we are excited to bring asphalt sprint cars back to Ontario. With local content it should be a great show.
Our fans have a pent-up demand for these cars since it’s been so long since they’ve seen them. When I spoke with Jim Hanks, I wanted to get the purse up to show everybody we’re for real here. We’re looking to make it the best show in the area” concluded Nagy.
More details about this event will be announced as details are finalized. Officials indicated they will have a plan in place to make crossing the border an easy process for U.S. teams looking to compete in the event.
A TBA announced date for Sunday August 9 was also announced. The track and location will be announced once details have been finalized. This would give teams a two-day race weekend.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Doney-Lawson Racing’s Xavier Doney qualifies for High
Limit International finale
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 30, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (December 30, 2025) – Xavier Doney of Doney-Lawson Racing and Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars put it in the “Big Dance” Tuesday evening at the Perth Motorplex in Perth, Western Australia, eventually battling for a $110,000 top prize in High Limit Racing’s international showcase. Doney, a native of the United States who calls Odessa, Missouri, home, earned his way into the 35-lap main event through the evening’s B-Main, finishing third in the 15-lap consolation after starting fifth on the grid. The former POWRi full-timer raced on to finish 15th in the aforementioned 35-lap finale, commencing action from the inside of row 12.
The High Limit International event was three days in total beginning Sunday, December 28. Doney qualified for each of the three main events contested with the finale being his best result. The program attracted some of the best open wheel racers in the world including eventual main event winner and recent NASCAR Cup Series champion, Kyle Larson.
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will roll into 2026 fresh off of a competitive, yet successful 2025 season padded by a podium outcome in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League driver standings. In fact, Xavier Doney, the ace who achieved the aforementioned statistic, won twice in his POWRi schedule, ending his campaign with 19 top-ten finishes in 24 A-Main starts.
Doney-Lawson Racing’s official schedule will be released in the coming weeks.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Doney-Lawson Racing would like to thank all of their marketing partners
including:Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven,
Stanton Racing Engines, Wilwood, Keizer Wheels, AL Driveline, and DMI.
DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall makes big moves to qualify for High Limit
International finale; Australia season continues January 2
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 30, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (December 30, 2025) – It was a hard-fought week Down Under for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall and Australia’s own RBH Racing, but in the end, the team achieved their goal, not only qualifying for the $110,000-to-win High Limit International finale at Perth Motorplex in Perth, Western Australia, but doing so in convincing fashion; a charge from 20th to fourth in the evening’s consolation B-Main. Although forced to eventually DNF in the 35-lap headliner, the ace of the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 was scored 23rd, bettering nearly half of the 41-car field entered for competition.
Whittall’s highlight of the week occurred in the High Limit International opener on Sunday, December 28, where the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion hard-charged from 22nd to 14th – the result was good enough to secure the evening’s official Hard Charger Award.
“Just super proud of this entire RBH Racing team. We battled through a lot this week, and in the end, we put it in the show,” Whittall was quick to acknowledge. “I didn’t have a lot of confidence while I was sitting in B-Main staging, but once we got rolling, we were really good. We still have a lot of racing left on our schedule. Excited to see what we can do.”
Justin Whittall and RBH Racing will continue their 2025/2026 tour of Australia with two starts immediately following the New Year; returning to Perth on January 2 before a visit to Bunbury on January 3.

In fact, Zearfoss, who calls Jonestown, Pennsylvania, home, finished tenth, ninth, 14th, and tenth in his last four appearances, the first on December 26 in Perth’s Boxing Day program. The latter outcomes occurred in Perth’s High Limit International tripleheader on December 28-30.
“Overall, a great week for our S&D Motorsport team. They are an incredible group of people and I’m super grateful to be in this position,” Zearfoss, ace of the Goldstar Transport, Fennell Tyres, Blue Water Shipping, Velocity Truck Centers, No. W95, said. “We accomplished a lot this week, but we’re hungry for more. We’ll get back to work right away and be ready to go right after the New Year.”

Scott Hess Racing Announces Chase Gutshall as Driver of
No. 88 Winged Super Sportsman for 2026 Season at BAPS Motor Speedway
Red Lion, PA – December 22, 2025

Scott Hess Racing is proud to announce that Chase Gutshall has been named the driver of the No. 88 Winged Super Sportsman for the full slate of events at BAPS Motor Speedway during the 2026 racing season.
The announcement follows the retirement of longtime driver Tony Jackson, who concluded his tenure with the team in impressive fashion. Jackson capped off a standout season that included 15 victories, along with numerous additional wins and consistent top performances, firmly establishing the No. 88 team as one of the premier operations in the division.
Gutshall, a former Sportsman division winner, brings proven talent and versatility to the Scott Hess Racing program. After recently advancing to the highly competitive Winged 358 Sprint Car division, Gutshall is eager to stay sharp and continue gaining valuable seat time behind the wheel in the Super Sportsman ranks.
“We plan to run every show at BAPS as long as it fits into our family team’s 358 program, and I’m excited to get going in 2026,” said Gutshall. “Scott, Lori, and their entire team have built something that’s as competitive as any in the Sportsman division, and being part of that is an opportunity I’m really excited about.”
“It’ll be a bit of an adjustment getting back into a Sportsman, but the extra seat time and having fun is only going to help me mentally and physically as a driver,” Gutshall continued. “In the 358 division, track time can be limited, and this gives me more laps at key facilities. Ultimately, it’s about having fun and getting to victory lane, and I’m confident we can do that together.”
While Gutshall is slated to compete full-time at BAPS Motor Speedway in 2026, the door remains open for Jackson to make select appearances should he choose to do so throughout the season.
Scott Hess Racing is optimistic about the upcoming year and confident that the combination of Gutshall, the No. 88 machine, and the team’s proven program will continue to deliver strong performances and success.
“I’ve known Chase’s dad since he was a kid, and Tony actually played a role in bringing Chase into the fold,” said team owner Scott Hess. “He really liked Chase’s driving style, and we both feel he’s the right guy to take our team forward during this transition. We’re excited to have him on board and ready to hit the ground running in 2026.”
Gutshall also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. “I can’t thank Scott and Lori enough for believing in me and giving me this chance,” he said. “I’m also extremely thankful to their sponsors for their support and confidence in me to keep things moving in the right direction. This is a top-notch team, and I’m grateful for everyone involved.”
Sponsorship Outlook for 2026
Scott Hess Racing is pleased to announce that all current team sponsors will be returning to the No. 88 machine for the 2026 racing season, with the addition of Gutshall’s Automotive joining the program. Should additional sponsorship be secured, the team will explore the possibility of fielding a Wingless Sportsman entry at select events in support of Gutshall.
For those interested in sponsoring the team or for inquiries regarding availability and pricing, please contact Scott Hess, Chase Gutshall, or reach out to Addicted2Dirt.

Swank, certainly no stranger to a national touring series, will pair with Lubbock, Texas, ace Brenham Crouch, working to outdo the team’s 2025 High Limit Racing stat sheet and ultimately contend for a title.
The 2026 High Limit Racing championship schedule is set to ignite in mid-March with a three-night stay at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway dirt track.
“We’re excited, as well as privileged to have Tyler [Swank] come join our efforts at CJB Motorsports. He’s a guy that takes his work very seriously, and not to mention, has a wealth of knowledge and experience. We’re confident he’ll take our High Limit Racing efforts to the next level,” Chad Clemens noted. “The team has a lot of work ahead of them, but they’ll be ready. It’s going to be an exciting season and I’m anxious to get started.”
“This is an exciting opportunity and I’m ready to get to work,” Swank was quick to note. “Chad, Ann Marie, and everyone at CJB Motorsports run a top-notch operation and I hope to only add to their value. It will be a competitive year, for sure, but Brenham [Crouch] and I are ready for the challenge.”
Crouch and CJB Motorsports will roll into the 2026 High Limit Racing season fresh off of a successful 2025 campaign, concluding their efforts with a top-ten appearance in the final High Limit Racing driver championship.
More news and updates pertaining to the team’s crew and partners will be released in the coming days. Fans are encouraged to keep up with everything CJB Motorsports online at https://cjbmotorsports.net/, or on social media via FACEBOOK, X, and INSTAGRAM.

It's All Cap Henry In Finale To 27th Rumble In Fort Wayne
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Dec. 20, 2025) – In the return of the 100-lap distance to the famed Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, Ohio’s Cap Henry authored a dominant performance of epic proportions.
After earning the pole position for the grand finale of the 27th Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales, Henry took off like a shot and never trailed during the Burco Molding Race to 100 for the headlining national midget division.
Henry led every lap en route to a $4,000 victory, earning his second career Rumble in Fort Wayne triumph in the top class as part of a one-two sweep by Joe Liguori Racing.
Though the race was split into three segments – providing air quality breaks near the one-third and two-third benchmarks, respectively – there was never a point where it felt like Henry wasn’t in control.
He fended off Russ Gamester through the first 75 laps, then pulled away late after young Kasey Jedrzejek shuffled Gamester out of the mix, creating a final battle for the runner-up honors between Jedrzejek and Henry’s car owner Joe Liguori.
A spin by fifth-running Derek Bischak right after the white flag set up a green-white-checkered finish, pushing the race one lap beyond its scheduled distance, but Henry easily pulled away from Liguori to a .618-second margin of victory.
Henry drew the number-one pill early in the night and officially secured the feature pole by winning the Ohio Supermodified Sprint Series Dash. It was that moment that made him believe he could control the proceedings the way that he did come race time.
“I said [before the race] that [the field] didn’t want me starting pole and setting the pace,” Henry noted. “I guess now, you can see why just a little bit.”
The only true nervous moment for Henry all night came with 10 laps left, when he was passing the slower car of Chris Neuenschwander and got into Neuenschwander’s No. 3 with his right front tire.
It could have been disastrous, but Henry barely missed a beat and continued to lead with no discernable damage to his red No. 41.
“I thought I was there and I was trying to get out of [that situation],” Henry admitted. “To be honest with you, I thought the thing was going to blow up with 30 to go, so at that point I was running the dog crap out of it to try and make sure … if I was going to blow up, I at least wanted to have a big lead when I did.
“Luckily it didn’t happen and we were able to hold on. This is such a cool moment. … I remember being a little kid in this building and watching the 100-lappers, and I didn’t think I’d ever win one. I didn’t think I’d ever win a midget race in here, period. So just to come in here and have this good a race car, it shows how hard everyone on this [No.] 41 car works.”
There was also emotion in Henry’s voice, reflecting on the first win for Liguori’s team since the loss of former team owner Randall ‘Slim’ Williams earlier in the year.
“Man, we lost Slim this year, and I really miss him,” said Henry as tears welled in his eyes. “He was such a big part of this Joe Liguori Racing deal and it means a lot to win one for him like this. I hope he’s watching and proud of what we did here.”
A total of seven yellow flags slowed Saturday night’s midget finale, including the two scheduled air-quality breaks. The lap-35 stoppage occurred on schedule, while the lap-70 break was pushed up by eight circuits after a stuck throttle for Sam Hinds led to a huge impact with the turn-one hay bales.
The incident looked vicious, but Hinds climbed out uninjured, though his race was over at lap 62.
Liguori got to third in the final quarter of the race, chasing Jedrzejek up through traffic, before making the pass for second coming to 12 laps left and settling in well behind his teammate.
Even with the final caution giving his a chance at Henry’s bumper, Liguori tipped he had no real offense with how strong Henry was all race long.
“It’s funny; I’ve been coming here for about 20 years and won the thing a couple of times, but I’d never finished second before tonight,” Liguori said. “It’s cool to get another one-two for this team, though. We did that last year in the Saturday show, when I won and Cap ran second.
“Racing Kasey was fun and I did everything I could to be as clean as possible, but it is indoor racing and you’ve got to use the bumpers at times. I’d expect the same in return,” Liguori added. “I needed that yellow to get to Cap, but as I was chasing him, I burned the brakes off my car and had nothing left on that green-white-checkered. It was all his race at that point.”
Jedrzejek crossed third in his best Rumble midget showing in three attempts, with Gamester fading to fourth and Jakeb Boxell finishing fifth to earn Rookie of the Race honors.
Saturday’s headliner was the first 100-lap midget race in Fort Wayne in more than two decades.
Meanwhile, the 600cc micro sprint features Saturday night weren’t all about John Ivy the driver, as they’ve been in so many years past at the Rumble. They were, however, about Ivy the car owner.
Ivy’s driver Tyler Shullick swept both the winged and non-winged micro features to cap off the Rumble, pushing his weekend record to three-for-four and his career Rumble win total to six between the two micro sprint classes.
The 25-lap non-winged leg saw Shullick capitalize after race-long leader Brent Busz was spun by then runner-up Dillon Nusbaum with nine laps left, as the pair battled for the top spot into turn one.
Nusbaum was sent to the rear for the contact along with Busz, elevating Shullick to the lead from third and allowing him to run off by 1.163 seconds in the end.
Dylan Woodling, Brian Busz, Friday winner Larry Joe Sroufe, and Joss Ross completed the top five.
The winged micro 25-lapper was dominated by three John Ivy-owned race cars, with Ivy’s daughter Kelsey Mange racing to the early lead from the outside of the front row and setting the pace for the first 14 circuits.
A caution for a spinning Tylar Rankin gave Shullick a chance, though, and he darted past Mange on the 11-to-go restart and never gave up command again.
Three more cautions inside of five to go created a few nervous moments, but Mange and Ivy hung on to second and third, respectively, to complete an incredible night for their organization overall – with Shullick leading the way.
“It’s all about the people you surround yourself with. I’ve got a lot of good people in my life that make race cars like this go, and we needed all of them to do what we did this weekend,” said Shullick. “The driving part is on me, and I always give it my best effort, but the least I can do is reward this team with wins for all that they do to give me these opportunities.
“The non-wing deal, we got a break when those two got together ahead of us, but the wing deal … I ran my butt off trying to get around Kelsey. That caution, I think, saved me because she was on rails. She did a hell of a job, and I didn’t think I’d get her if it had stayed green.
“These are the weekends that we live for. I don’t think there’s another team in the pit area that has as much fun as we do and we pride ourselves on that.”
In addition to the three major classes, 16 grassroots divisions between go-karts, quarter midgets, and mini wedges also competed on Saturday.
Headlining that list of winners was Dustin Heath, who topped the 360 Clone class in the traditional Limbacher Memorial go-kart race, and triple Saturday quarter midget victor Weston Kudner.
Kudner’s scores came in the Animal Combined, Senior Honda, and Light 160 divisions.
On-demand replays of every lap from the 27th Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales are available through Pit Row TV, a member of the SPEED SPORT Network and the Rumble’s exclusive broadcast partner.
The 28th Rumble in Fort Wayne is slated for Dec. 18-19, 2026.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2025
As if the carrot being dangled wasn’t big enough, there are $30,000 more reasons for drivers to contest Speedweek in Western Australia, which kicks off at the Perth Motorplex on Boxing Day.
It can now be confirmed that a $30,000 Speedweek points will be paid to the top 15 drivers overall in the series over eight nights.
This includes a cool $10,000 going to the Speedweek winner, with the second-placed pointscorer receiving $5000 and the third-placed driver will bank $2500.
The Sprintcar Entrants Group (SEG) and the Sprintcar Association of Western Australia would like to thank Speedway Australia for providing $20,000 for the fund.
“We also want to thank the SEG board and the Perth Motorplex for each adding $5000 to the fund, taking it up to $30,000,” said SEG board chairman Geoff Kendrick.
“We think we have an amazing Speedweek series and it is world-renowned with a big list of drivers from America making their way here to compete, as well as some of the best from the east coast.
“Thanks to our television packages with Night Thunder/Channel 7 and Flo, people from all over the world will be able to watch Speedweek which is part of the 2025-26 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series championship.
“We are proud of what we have achieved with the series so far and we are sure the drivers will appreciate the extra prize fund that has now been made available – particularly the winner who will receive another $10,000 on top of the prizemoney they will receive from each round.”
A stout 41-car field is locked in for night one of Speedweek, the Burson Auto Parts Boxing Day Bonanza at the Perth Motorplex this Friday, December 26, before the field grows with the arrival of more Americans, Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet, for the three nights of High Limit International: Perth, that kicks off at the Motorplex on December 28.
Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour announces 2026 schedule
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. has officially released the 2026 schedule of events for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The California based Winged Sprint Car series is set to contest its ninth overall season, which offers another exciting slate of races up and down the West Coast.
“The Sprint Car Challenge Tour looks to be in for another entertaining season,” commented President Scott Russell. “When you look at it from April to November fans and teams have plenty of great racing to choose from. We want to send a huge thank you to Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tire and all the partners that make this tour possible.”
All www.shopkylelarson.com main events are once again $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start this coming season.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will compete in a total of 16 events, which gets underway with the April 4th running of the “Thrill on the Hill,” marking the first of three appearances at Placerville Speedway.
The tour returns to Placerville on May 30th for the second annual “Davy Thomas Memorial,” which moves to a Saturday date this coming year. SCCT will also compete at the red clay on July 18th as part of Western Sprint Tour Speedweek.
Continuing to rise in popularity among fans and teams is Merced Speedway, which is back on the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour schedule. California’s top Winged 360 Sprint Car teams will invade the high-banked quarter mile on Saturday April 25th.
The Petaluma Speedway hosts a pair of Sprint Car Challenge Tour events in 2026. Those dates will occur on June 13th with an event dubbed as “Wings Over Wine Country” and October 17th, as SCCT sanctions the $5,000-to-win “Adobe Cup” for the fifth consecutive season.
The Sprint Car Challenge Tour will again be part of the 26th annual “Mel and Marlyn Hall Memorial” held on Memorial Day weekend at Marysville Raceway. This coming year’s event takes place on Sunday May 24th and has provided several thrills over the last handful of seasons.
The always challenging and popular Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare also hosts the SCCT 360s for a can’t miss night of racing on Saturday October 3rd.
For the third consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will embark upon Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which mirrors that of the schedule last year.
The overall Speedweek champion will claim $4,000 with the runner up receiving $2,500 and third place getting $1,500. Redding’s Max Mittry claimed the title this past season by just two points over Oregon’s Kinzer Cox.
All the action launches at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Friday July 17th, followed by the “Gold Pan Rampage” at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 18th.
A travel day will be held on Sunday, before action resumes
at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Monday July 20th.
Speedweek heads for the coast on Tuesday with a date at the beautiful Coos
Bay Speedway on July 21st and continues north to Cottage Grove Speedway on
Wednesday July 22nd.
Another travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the
second ever SCCT appearance at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington for the
two-night “360 Summer Nationals” highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/
$600-to-start main event on Saturday.
Speedweek all culminates with the “Hall of Fame Tribute-360 Battle Royale” on Sunday July 26th at Gray’s Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington.
“I really want to thank the staff at Skagit Speedway for coming on board and working with us again on Western Sprint Tour Speedweek,” said Russell. “They are offering a fantastic purse for the racers at the 360 Nationals, which should make for an outstanding weekend of racing. It was great to see a lot of California fans make a vacation out of it last year and travel north with us.”
As is the norm, the Stockton Dirt Track wraps up the SCCT campaign with the 43rd annual “Tribute to Gary Patterson” on Saturday November 7th.
Thanks to the generous support from Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tires and RMI the SCCT champion once again pockets $10,000 cash.

Diamond Sprint Car Series Unveiled for Upper Midwest Teams, Tracks & Fans!
Grand Rapids, MN (12/20/25) by DarinShort.com. 2026 will mark a fresh look and excitement level for fans, teams and tracks in the Upper Midwest, as the new Pirtek Diamond Sprint Car Series rebranding; schedule and rules are now available for viewing. Click www.DiamondSprintCarSeries.com to check it all out.
And you know the expression: “put your money where your mouth is?” In that same vein, the Diamond Sprint Car Series puts its series championship winner where its name is – in the form of a diamond championship ring!
That’s right, at the conclusion of the series points season, the top driver in points will receive a custom-made diamond ring to commemorate their accomplishment.
Drivers will preregister for each event, which will allow time for the series and the track to pre-publicize to fans who they can expect to see competing on race night. This simple step will help generate fan buzz as well. Those preregistered drivers will also receive increased payback for their support come race night. Details on this driver procedure will be posted prior to each event.
In addition to the www.DiamondSprintCarSeries.com domain name, you can also click www.DiamondSprints.com as an alternate web address – for those who prefer to type in less characters...and it will take you to the same series homepage.
TECH NOTE: The above domain names are newly registered, and in the event that your web browser gives you an error message, click www.umsprints.com/diamond-series.html and it will take you to the same destination for the series. This should just be a temporary issue, again, if you run into it.
If you are on Facebook, you can click www.facebook.com/DiamondSprintCarSeries to get the latest series news and interact with others on the page.
This series offers a place for experienced sprint car racers to ‘graduate to’ and gives us, as a series, the ability to keep our weekly racing affordable and fun for all participants involved.
Detailed purse structure and preregistration procedures will be posted in the weeks to come.
Many of the tracks in the Upper Midwest are still working on their 2026 schedules, and we are listing their dates below as TBA for the time being, so be watching for the official schedule updates in the weeks to come. But here is the 2026 Diamond Sprint Car Series Schedule and expected race dates – as of 12/20/25:
May 21 Grand Rapids Speedway (MN)
May 22 Hibbing Speedway (MN)
May 23 Hibbing Speedway (MN)
June 18 TBA
June 19 TBA
July 2 TBA

THE COUNT IS IN...
We Have A New Tulsa Shootout Entry Record
Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (December 17, 2025) Just when
you think there can’t be any more Micros, a few more show up, and with the
entry deadline passing, the number of entries in the 41st annual Hyper
Racing Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy has rocketed to an unimaginable
1,939.
Set during the 2025 event, the previous record of entries
received was 1,855, with 1,798 drawing in.
“I think back to when we ran the Karts, Quads, Bikes, and
Micros, and getting 1,000 entries was pretty normal since we had over 20
classes racing, but I never imagined when we changed the event to focus on
the Micros that it was going to get this big, and I am very grateful for
it,” stated event founder, Emmett Hahn.
Among those ready to battle at the “Mecca of Micros” is Kyle
Larson, who, in an interview with FloRacing this week, explained his travel
plans from Australia, where he will be competing with the Kubota High Limit
Racing, to be part of the Sawyer Chassis Winged Outlaw ranks. Children Owen
and Audrey will also be in competition.
Talking further with Emmett and referencing Kyle planning to
be a part of the event, Hahn stated, “That right there shows what this event
is about. Getting to race, and do it with your kids, and it’s not just Kyle.
I see it all over that pit area, and well, in our office. Just like those
parents racing with their kids, my kids, and now even my grandkids are
involved with the Shootout and the Chili Bowl.”
Class counts going into the annual Hyper Racing Tulsa
Shootout powered by NOS Energy shows Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing
and JST Motorsports A-Class with the most at 460 each. Hyper Racing Non-Wing
Outlaw at 412 entries, is followed by Sawyer Chassis Winged Outlaw at 270,

National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum
Nine Inductees Announced as “Class of 2026” for National Sprint Car Hall
of Fame!
Knoxville, IA, December 19, 2025 – The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame
is pleased to announce the names of its nine inductees for 2026. Those that
will be inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame on Saturday, May
30, during the 36th induction ceremonies in Knoxville, Iowa, are:
Drivers
Steve Chassey – The native of Massachusetts returned after fighting with
honors in Vietnam to win the California Racing Association’s (CRA) Rookie of
the Year title in 1969. He continued racing sprints, midgets, dirt champ and
Indy cars across the country after relocating to Indianapolis. He won 15
times with USAC including the USAC Silver Crown “Hoosier Hundred” in 1994.
He was prolific on the high banks with USAC and is the only driver in series
history to win five times at one track in one year (Winchester Speedway,
1979). Steve was his own mechanic and engineer and after driving moved into
race broadcasting for ESPN’s “Thursday Night Thunder.”
Jerry McClung – “Termite” Jerry McClung won his first race in 1962 at
Manzanita Speedway in his native Phoenix. He followed that season with nine
wins and a track championship at Manzy in 1963. Championships followed in
1967 and 1968. That began a career in Super-modifieds and sprint cars that
saw 105 wins at Manzy alone. Jerry scored six wins with CRA including a
track record at El Centro. In 1970 and 1971, he raced USAC National Midgets,
recording ten wins and two top five finishes in points. He returned to
success in the sprint car, registering more wins, including one at the
Knoxville Raceway, where he qualified for the Knoxville Nationals finale
three times.
Jerry Stone – Jerry’s career began around his native Wichita and ranged from
super-modifieds to 100 inch dirt cars to 410 sprint cars across the Midwest
and as far east as central Pennsylvania, where he was a regular for a time.
Jerry made a name for himself, winning in many forms of racing, but his
career became focused when the NCRA was formed. He won the 1976 prestigious
Hutchinson (KS) Nationals, and later would befriend Lloyd K. Stephens and
drive for the OFIXCO team. He won four NCRA championships before 1984. The
following year he moved to central PA, racing there for a time and picking
up wins at Williams Grove, Selinsgrove and Hagerstown, to name a few tracks.
Upon returning to the Midwest, he picked up where he left off, capturing a
fifth NCRA title and the Tulsa Speedway championship in 1990. He picked up
over 125 wins in his sprint car/supermodified career and is already a member
of four different Halls of Fame.
Owners-Mechanics-Builders-Manufacturers-Car Builders
Jimmy Carr – A British Columbia native, Jimmy’s career began behind the
wheel. Over 14 years, he raced at Skagit (WA) Speedway, was the 1991 World
of Outlaws Rookie of the Year, and picked up some regional wins from
Illinois to California. His life changed when he joined forces with Danny
Lasoski as crew chief on the Roth Beef Packers #86 in 1998. His experience
as a driver translated when watching the car on the track. The car won 32
times with the WoO and took the Knoxville Nationals in 1998. Jimmy and
Lasoski would build Tony Stewart Racing from the ground up, winning over 100
races over the next several seasons. Included was three more Knoxville
Nationals titles, and a WoO championship in 2001, a year Carr was named the
WoO “Mechanic of the Year.” After Lasoski parted with TSR, Carr stayed on as
crew chief for several drivers (including Donny Schatz, who garnered 222
wins in that time), and eventually taking over as Team Manager. In five
years with Dominic Scelzi’s team from 2020 to 2025, they amassed 48 wins and
two NARC titles. In total, Jimmy’s involvement as a driver, crew chief and
team manager resulted in over 400 wins entering 2025.
Ed Iskenderian – The son of Armenian immigrants in the central valley of
California, Ed moved with his family south to Los Angeles when the grape
vines went dry in the 1920’s. LA had become the racing capital of the world.
Ed built his own Model T Roadster, but wasn’t satisfied with the
reliability, he shifted his attention to Ford’s new V-8 engine. After flying
supply missions in World War II, he worked as a Tool and Die maker.
Frustrated by having to wait five months for camshafts, he began grinding
his own with fellow Hall of Famer Ed Winfield. Word spread about the “Isky”
cams, and in combination with local hot rods forming the California Racing
Association (CRA) on oval tracks, business boomed. His one-man shop in
Culver City, California has moved to currently employ over 100 in a 75,000
square foot facility in Gardena, California. Ed was the first president of
SEMA and is in that Hall of Fame as well as PRI. Sprint cars across the
country still rely on Isky cams. Ed turned 104 in 2025.
Bob Westphal – A native of Fremont, Nebraska, Bob would eventually move his
operation to Oklahoma. He built engines that were successful in NHRA and
NASCAR, but the self-taught mechanic made his mark with sprint cars through
his Wesmar Racing Engines. Twenty-three drivers in the National Sprint Car
Hall of Fame starting with Bobby Marshall in 1981. In 1982, Sammy Swindell
grabbed the first of over 200 World of Outlaws wins for Wesmar. Bob’s
engines also won in Australia and New Zealand, and at least one was in the
Knoxville Nationals championship from 1982 through 2013, with two wins.
Wesmar also won eleven 360 Nationals titles at Knoxville. Championships came
with WoO, ASCS, USCS, URC, IRA, USAC, OCRS, NCRA and the All Stars, as well
as local and regional championships as well as other crown jewel events
across the country. He collaborated with fellow engine builder Ron Shaver in
the creation of Shaver-Wesmar Gear Drives which are used by many builders
today. Bob passed away in 2013.
Promoters-Officials-Media Members-Event/Series Sponsors
Eloy Gutierrez – A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Eloy began as an
official and flagman with the New Mexico Motor Racing Association in 1968.
His involvement in racing would span over 55 years. Eloy’s biggest
contribution may have come in the early 1990’s, when with partner, BD
Schafer, they introduced electronic timing and scoring to sprint car racing.
Initially, it made things much easier for scorers, but it has become a
technology that is taken for granted across racing at tracks, by teams and
mobile apps. Their technology took some convincing, but the World of Outlaws
agreed to take the plunge in 1998. Eloy and BD often footed the bill for the
technology and proper gear to get the job done. They also were responsible
for the labor at the track including installing scoring loops. It made it’s
television debut with TNN in 1998, and has become a staple that is taken for
granted on broadcasts on TV or PPV. Eloy passed away in 2024.
Allan Holland – A native of Drums, Pennsylvania, and a plumber by trade,
Allan utilized technology to bring results to anyone online in a matter of
hours, changing the way sprint car news was distributed and written. In
1997, shortly after the internet became mainstream, he created Hoseheads.com.
After almost 30 years, “Hoseheads” still brings timely news, columns and
photos to sprint car fans around the world. Allan’s efforts brought some of
the greatest writers and photographers to the computer for all to see.
Several Hall of Famers have contributed to Hoseheads over the years, and it
sparked the careers of several media members. In addition to the website,
which Allan still updates often 365 days a year, he penned a column for
Sprint Car & Midget for its run from 2002-22. Allan was also a producer with
the Sprint Car Network (SCN), broadcasting World of Outlaws events over the
internet for several seasons before PPV. When PPV came in, Allan has
produced several events for DirtVision, and is currently producing the shows
at Williams Grove Speedway in his native state. For many years, Allan has
spearheaded the Central PA point fund, and has been generous in sponsorship
of many sprint car related events. The “Hosehead” name has been used for
many charitable organizations, a message board, and much more over the
years!
Pre-1970
Bob Gregg – Bob’s driving career began in 1938 in the Pacific Northwest. He
raced almost 50 years, with his last event in 1986. He scored wins in every
decade. The Golden Wheels Vintage Racing Club based in western Washington
named him “Driver of the Century.” He was one of the most decorated drivers
in that region of the country. Much of his early success came in midgets
where he won 13 season titles in Oregon and Washington. He was also winning
in sprint cars, supermodifieds and roadsters during this time. In 1951, he
won the ARA sanctioned 100-mile sprint car race in Reno, and won the
eight-race US/Canada Gold Cup for sprints/supermodifieds in 1962 to name a
couple of his accomplishments. Bob’s career included 22 championships. He
passed away in 2002.
According to National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum executive director
Bob Baker, “We’d like to acknowledge the hard work put in by our National
Induction Committee and we thank them for another fine class of inductees!
We are really looking forward to our 36th induction banquet at the
Dyer-Hudson building on the Marion County Fairgrounds in Knoxville, Iowa on
Saturday, May 30!”

MACEDO LOCKED AND LOADED
COLE Macedo may only be in Australia for a month, but he is certainly going to be jamming a lot of 410 Sprintcar racing into his Christmas-New Year schedule with the Highline Motorsport team.
Although his upcoming Australian trip original plans had changed a few months ago, the 25-year-old from Lemoore in California is looking forward to linking up with the Perth, Western Australia-based Highline Motorsport team for what is his third Australian racing trip.
“Running with the Highline Motorsport team came out of the blue shortly after my previous Australian ride fell over, so I’m very grateful to be given this opportunity to run for Daryl Clayden and his Highline Motorsport team,” Cole expressed.
“Following my pleasing achievements during my last trip to Australia, I’m looking to build on that form with the Highline Motorsport team during my upcoming trip. The Highline Motorsport team have a first class operation headed by crew chief Bobby Marlow and I’m confident that we can come together and do some great things at every event we contest.”
Cole’s last Australian trip saw him perform strongly during the first annual High Limit International at the Perth Motorplex with his previous team by being in podium contention over all three nights and then he went on to win three feature races on the east coast when he drove for the Dyson Motorsport team with two wins at Sydney Speedway in NSW and the other at Premier Speedway in Victoria.
Highline Motorsport team owner / manager Daryl Clayden is equally excited to have a world class calibre driver join his team for the upcoming Christmas-New Year period.
“When Cole’s previous deal didn’t go ahead as planned, I reached out to him about putting together a deal with us, and it didn’t take long for him to agree,” explained Clayden.
“Cole showed during last season’s trip that he can mix with the best of them, and our team has left no stone unturned in giving him the best opportunity to do so no matter where we travel to. Apart from him trying to win every night, he is going to be a big help with my son Kodi who is currently in his first season of 410 Sprintcar racing, so having someone like Cole join our team is going to be invaluable for him with his learning curve.”
Stay tuned for announcements regarding the Highline Motorsport team’s merchandise for Cole’s trip.

with them. We have some great partners returning along with a lot of
upcoming news that I can’t wait to share with everyone.”
Open Wheel Showdown experienced over three million social
media impressions across its own pages, along with significant coverage from
Speed Sport and its broadcast channels Speed Sport 1 and Speed Sport 2. Open
Wheel Showdown sponsors, competitors, and fans contributed to even more
excitement and visibility for the sport through their posts and engagement
as well. The efforts culminated with the largest Saturday crowd among the
three editions of the event in 2025.
Additionally, pavement Sprint Car racing will likely
experience a dozen races with five figure paydays in 2026. When the Open
Wheel Showdown kicked off in 2023, as few as two events in the country
carried awards of that caliber.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Davey Hamilton, Jr. He’s
quickly become one of the most dynamic young race promoters in the country,”
said Patrick Lindsey, General Manager of Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “In just
three years, the Open Wheel Showdown, powered by an impressive purse, has
exploded into a must-see event for asphalt sprint car racers nationwide. The
Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway has continued to be the perfect home
for this showcase, and we’re excited to keep building on this momentum for
years to come.”
Speed Sport returns as the Open Wheel Showdown media partner
with live coverage of the entire weekend.

Spire Motorsports, Gio Scelzi Ante up for 2026 with
Full-Time High Limit Racing Entry
December 11, 2025
First up, 40th Annual Chili Bowl Nationals
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (December 11, 2025) – Spire Motorsports is “all in” for 2026. In addition to its NASCAR-focused efforts, the Mooresville, N.C.-headquartered organization will campaign a 410 winged sprint car entry full time for the 66-race Kubota High Limit Racing series with standout open-wheel pilot Giovanni “Gio” Scelzi. The team will work closely with Clauson Marshall Racing and chase the division’s 2026 championship.
Celebrated crew chief Eric Prutzman, who won six consecutive national championships with driver Brad Sweet, has joined Spire Motorsports and will lead the team’s efforts during the upcoming season.
Scelzi, 24, is the son of former NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car champion Gary Scelzi and the 2023 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year. On the national stage, the Fresno, Calif., native has collected 12 wins, 88 top-five, and 232 top-10 finishes.
Prior to the 2026 High Limit season opener, the California racer will compete in the 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Okla., in a Spire Motorsports’ Chili’s-sponsored entry prepared by legendary midget car owner Keith Kunz.
“Going on the road with High Limit is like a dream come true and to do this with people I have deep respect and appreciation for makes it even better,” said Spire Motorsports Co-Owner Jeff Dickerson. “We’ve worked with and for Kyle (Larson), Brad (Sweet), Kendra (Jacobs) and JP (Josh Peterman) for years and I have an immense amount of gratitude to them for not only building a great series but for making a series that offers long-term growth to all of us in a sport we all love. I’m thankful to Tim Clauson and the Marshalls for providing us a launch pad to make this jump and look forward to working closely this season.
“We are not a NASCAR team that is going dirt racing. We are dirt racers who happen to have a NASCAR team. This is in our blood and we can’t wait to get to Vegas in March.”
Spire Motorsports’ High Limit team will carry a High Roller Club membership card when the season opens with the Blackjack Bash March 12 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The team completed the purchase of High Limit Racing’s “9 Card” from Jason Myers Racing, following the 2025 season finale at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.
The High Roller Club, which focuses on creating a sustainable business model for race teams, will distribute up to $18 million in total value over the next four years. Membership cards grant permanent, long-term participation rights designed to drive alignment between Kubota High Limit Racing and its team owners, while guaranteeing annual payouts and providing stability for those in possession.
In 2018, Scelzi became the youngest winner in World of Outlaws history at 16-years-old, claiming victory in the prestigious National Open at Williams Grove (Pa.) Speedway. One year later, he added another milestone to his resume when he became the youngest winner in Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway history with an All-Star Circuit of Champions victory.
He dabbled in pavement racing to further build his resume and won in his first-ever start in a spec late model at Southern California’s Irwindale Speedway. In 2020, he competed in 11 ARCA Menards Series West races where he earned seven top-five and nine top-10 finishes, including a win at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.
Over the next two seasons, Scelzi shifted his focus back to his open-wheel roots, racing with both the World of Outlaws and the All Star Circuit of Champions where he combined for seven poles, three wins, 32 top fives and 87 top 10s.
The 2023 season saw him competing full time with the World of Outlaws, where he posted three poles, one win, 18 top-five and 48 top-10 finishes with his impressive freshman campaign earning him Rookie of the Year honors. The following season, he captured four wins, including a Knoxville Nationals preliminary victory, to compliment 23 top fives and 53 top 10s.
“To see the enthusiasm from the employees at Spire Motorsports, that’s really something that made an impact on me,” said Scelzi, who began his racing career at six-years-old, competing in Jr. Micro Sprints in the central California area. “The NASCAR stuff is their job but it’s pretty obvious they enjoy sprint car racing. We’ll likely run 80 to 90 times a year at probably 50 different race tracks, but when you have an owner like Jeff (Dickerson) who truly loves sprint car racing and comes from that background, it really makes this an exciting opportunity.
“I’ve known Eric (Prutzman) for a long time. When I was probably 10- or 12-years-old, when Donny Schatz was driving for Tony Stewart Racing, those guys would work out of my dad’s shop during that three-week West Coast swing and Eric was the tire guy at the time, so we became friends and stayed in touch. I’ve watched Eric’s career and he’s had amazing success. The guys who run up front all have really good equipment so, now more than ever, it’s the people. Having someone as accomplished as Eric is just as important as the equipment.”
In 2025, Scelzi parted ways with KCP Racing mid-season following a four-plus-year run and finished the season in the No. 7BC for Clauson Marshall Racing as a substitute for the injured Tyler Courtney.
With nearly 400 entries expected for this year’s Chili Bowl, it’s no wonder only a select handful – 24 to be exact – have the opportunity to compete for the storied “Golden Driller” trophy. Scelzi raced his way into the A-Main in 2018, where he started 16th but was sidelined early in the 55-lap feature, and ultimately credited with a 24th-place finish.
He is the youngest winner in Tulsa Shootout history, the precursor to the Chili Bowl Nationals, where he won the 2015 Winged A-Class feature.
“I’m thrilled to race the Chili Bowl, again,” said Scelzi. “I’ve run it three times in the past. I ran for Clauson Marshall Racing my first time and made the show. The two years after that, I was there with Chad Boat Racing. To race a car prepared by Keith Kunz at the Chili Bowl is a dream come true. They’ve won prelim after prelim and Saturday after Saturday. The Chili Bowl is an event where being lucky is just as important as having a fast race car and putting yourself in position to win a race. I’m really looking forward to getting back there. I’m really grateful to Jeff, Keith and the whole team at Chili’s for the opportunity.”

“It’s a great honour to have Brad back with us again and we are looking forward to bringing one of the world’s premier Sprintcar drivers back to Australia,” commented Landrigan Motorsports team manager Jamie Landrigan.
“Following the recent news of Brad’s retirement from the world of Sprintcar racing as a full-time driver, he has committed to a small schedule, but those four nights are going to be an opportunity to see Brad in action around one of the world’s best tracks in the Perth Motorplex.”
With less than a month to go before Brad and his family lands in Australia, the Landrigan Motorsports team is currently hard at work preparing the USA # 49 Landrigan Motorsports Maxim. For this Australian trip, Brad will be bringing with him Joe Mooney to pit crew. Mooney is the crew chief for the Macri Motorsports team over in America.

DREAM COME TRUE: Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports to chase World
of Outlaws Rookie of the Year honors in 2026
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 10, 2025
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (December 10, 2025) – It has been Scotty Thiel’s lifelong dream to hit the road with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, and now the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native and former IRA Outlaw Sprint Series champion will finally get his chance, setting aim on a full-on Rookie of the Year campaign in 2026, all while at the helm of Greg Wheeler’s No. 16C.
“This has been a goal of mine since day one and to say that it’s all finally come together is just an incredible feeling,” Thiel was quick to note. “Greg [Wheeler] and I just started talking one day…ended up bouncing some ideas off of one another and things just kinda aligned. The partnerships all came together at the right time and we were able to put this idea into motion. We still have a few details and a few partnerships to button up, but the wheels are turning and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
Although new to the Greatest Show On Dirt, the “Big Wheel” is far from new to the travel game, spending numerous summers chasing the IRA schedule across Wisconsin and Illinois, all before becoming a regular fixture with the All Star Circuit of Champions. Even since his All Star travel days, Thiel has been criss-crossing much of the Midwest, chasing the region’s biggest money opportunities and open wheel honors – many Outlaws sanctioned.
“The plan is to base our operation out of my shop in Sheboygan while still utilizing Greg Wheeler’s shop in Columbia City, Indiana. Having two locations will make the travel and all other logistics much more manageable,” Thiel continued. “Greg’s passion for the sport and desire to race mirrors the same energy I have. It’s truly a great match and I’m excited for our potential. We’re both ready to take on the challenge and finally compete as full-time Outlaws.”
Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports will begin their 2026 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year campaign with a four-night slate at Volusia Speedway Park in DeLeon Springs, Florida, on February 4-7. To learn more about the Series, visit the World of Outlaws online at www.woosprint.com.

Tony Jackson Closes Storybook Farewell Season with Scott
Hess Racing; Team Posts 15 Wins and Captures Two Wingless Championships
Newville, PA – December 10, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing put the exclamation point on a remarkable season in 2025, competing in 37 events across both the winged and wingless Sportsman divisions and delivering a results sheet that read like a highlight reel: 15 victories, 8 runner-up finishes, four third-place runs, one fourth, and three fifth-place finishes.
Even more telling than the trophies was the week-to-week consistency. The team never finished outside the top five unless sidelined by mechanical failure or an on-track accident, a testament to preparation, execution, and the steady partnership between driver and team.
“It was like a dream year. It kind of stings a little bit to walk away after a year like that, but we’ll embrace what we did and see where things go from here,” said Jackson.
The season’s momentum culminated in two championships, with Jackson and Hess securing the Wingless Championship at Path Valley Speedway and the Hess Ornamental Iron Wingless Tour Championship as well—an unforgettable pair of titles that perfectly framed a year that began with major news.
Prior to the season, Jackson announced that 2025 would be his final year before stepping away into retirement, adding extra meaning to every victory lane photo, podium celebration, and championship moment.
“Knowing this was my last full season made every race count a little more,” Jackson added. “To be able to finish it like this—with wins, with championships, and with the people who’ve meant so much to me—this is the kind of ending you dream about.”
Now, with the season complete, Jackson looks back on his career with gratitude and pride, excited for what’s next while reflecting fondly on his time behind the wheel.
“Racing has given me memories I’ll carry forever, and to say I was part of the history of the Sportsman division is pretty darn special,” Jackson said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished, and I’m thankful for everyone who supported me—my family, my crew, and every fan who cheered us on. I’m excited for the next chapter, but I’ll always be grateful for this one.”
For team owner Scott Hess, the offseason is already taking shape. Plans are currently being assembled to place a new driver in the seat for the 2026 season, but Hess emphasized that moving on from Jackson doesn’t close the door on the partnership.
“Tony’s retirement is bittersweet for all of us,” Hess said. “You don’t replace a driver like that—you build the next chapter and appreciate what you had. And I’ll say this: there will always be a seat warm for Tony here. If he ever gets the itch to race again, we’ll be ready.”
“The expectations were to always win some races and have fun racing, but Tony not only exceeded the expectations, but he set a precedent that will be hard to match going forward. I didn’t even know Tony when we started racing, and through racing we’ve built quite a relationship, but now we’re pretty much family, and I can’t thank him enough.”
Scott Hess Racing will announce additional 2026 plans—including driver and schedule details—at a later date.

He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Mechanical woes end a great night for Zearfoss at
Perth
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 8, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (December 8, 2025) – Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport launched their 2025/2026 Australian campaign in a big way, and although a mechanical woe ended their night short of the finish, with seven laps remaining to be exact, their statistics leading to that point were borderline perfect. In fact, Zearfoss was battling for a feature podium at the time his powerplant expired, igniting his evening with the second-fastest qualifying time, racing on to a heat race victory followed by another heat race runner-up result.
“We were so good up until that point, but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. We’ll shake it off and move forward,” Zearfoss, ace of the Goldstar Transport, Fennell Tyres, Blue Water Shipping, Velocity Truck Centers, No. W95, said. “Hats off to this entire S&D Motorsport team. They are the real deal. They gave me an incredible car all night at Perth. We have a great baseline and I’m confident we’ll pick up right where we left off later this month.”
Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport will continue their tour of Down Under with a return visit to Perth Motorplex in Kwinana Beach, Western Australia, on Friday, December 26.

NEW BEGINNING: Donny Schatz to pilot CJB Motorsports No.
15 entry for 2026 World of Outlaws campaign
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 8, 2025
CARLISLE, Pa. (December 8, 2025) – It is never too late for a new beginning, and for ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Champion Donny Schatz, that time is now, set to chase an 11th championship with the Greatest Show On Dirt aboard Chad and Ann Marie Clemens’ CJB Motorsports No. 15.
“These are exciting times at CJB Motorsports,” Chad Clemens was quick to note. “Donny [Schatz] is one of the best to ever sit in a sprint car and to have him join the CJB Motorsports family is incredibly special. He is not only a talented and accomplished driver, but he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. We have a lot of work to do, but we’ll be ready for 2026. We’ll see everyone in Florida.”
Schatz, who has been a staple on the World of Outlaws campaign trail for three decades, will join forces with legendary Crew Chief and Pennsylvania native, Barry Jackson, ready to ignite their title chase with a four-night slate at Volusia Speedway Park in DeLeon Springs, Florida, on February 4-7. The Series will return to the Sunshine State staple nearly a month later for the annual Bike Week Jamboree.
“Truly grateful for this opportunity. Chad, Ann Marie, the entire Clemens Family, Barry Jackson, and everyone else at CJB Motorsports have been working their tails off in putting this program together and we’re excited to get started,” Donny Schatz said. “The World of Outlaws is where I cut my teeth…it’s where I belong. I’m as confident as I have ever been heading into 2026 and I know we’ll have the tools, knowledge and experience to be successful.”
More news and updates pertaining to the team’s crew and partners will be released in the coming days. Fans are encouraged to keep up with everything CJB Motorsports online at https://cjbmotorsports.net/, or on social media via FACEBOOK, X, and INSTAGRAM.
ALLEN CO. WAR MEMORIAL COLISEUM EXPO CONVERTS TO A RACE
TRACK
Annual Rumble in Fort Wayne presents indoor racing with same amenities as
structure as outdoors
FORT WAYNE, IN (Dec. 8) – Converting the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Exposition Center (ACWMC) from four walls and a bare floor into an indoor racing facility with a 1/7-mile concrete oval is no easy task. Once a year, the ACWMC staff teams up with the crew from the Rumble in Fort Wayne to methodically accomplish the transition. This year, that transformation will take place Wednesday, December 17 in anticipation of the two-days of racing, December 19 and 20.
It begins with the placement of 5000 temporary seats, followed immediately by the onset of track construction. Highway jersey barriers, weighing over 3000 pounds each, are linked together to shape the outside safety fencing. While the barriers are being aligned, fence posts are snugly inserted; from which three bands of cables are attached. The final steps include attaching and securing chain link fencing.
For competitor safety, temporary ‘safe walls’, consisting of conveyor belting laced plywood over tires, are ratcheted to the jersey barriers at the exit of each turn. Additionally, fire-retardant sprayed straw bales are bagged and placed at critical impact points at each end of the oval.
A safety light system is erected, the flag stand is placed and sponsor banners hung.
The final step, conducted on race day, is the track surface preparation. Soda pop syrup is sprayed on to the concrete flooring and slowly ‘run in’ by vehicles for uniformity and consistency.
At that point, the ACWMC becomes a racetrack, with all of the same amenities and conditions of outdoor racing, but inside a climate-controlled building in mid-Winter.
On the racing menu for the Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales sponsored Rumble in Fort Wayne each day, with complete racing programs of preliminary heats and main events, will be Midgets, winged and non-winged 600cc Midgets plus multiple classes of Go-Karts, Wedge Karts and Quarter Midgets.

Motorsports Park followed by a July 25 event at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich.

ZACH SOBOTKA CROWNED 2025 CRSA SPRINTS CHAMPION AT AWARDS
BANQUET
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – December 7, 2025
VERNON, N.Y. – The move from Sportsman modifieds to 305 Sprint Cars paid off for Zach Sobotka as he was officially crowned A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints champion Saturday night at Vernon Downs Casino Hotel.
In his first year of CRSA competition, the driver of the No. 38 recorded five wins in 2025, in addition to a record 19 top fives and 20 top 10s. Sobotka also claimed the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge and became the first Insinger Performance Rookie of the Year to become champion since John Virgilio in 2011.
"I ran Sportsman for 10-11 years and always wanted to run sprint cars,” Sobotka said in his speech. “It was a lot of fun this year switching over to run the 305. It was a blast with everybody here. We definitely couldn’t have done it without Steve Stirling and Maxima Racing Oils. He’s been with us for five years. My dad, my grandfather, my girlfriend Kayla selling shirts every weekend and everyone else at our table. They do it all for us, they’re the people that keep us racing."
Sobotka scored his first two wins consecutively at Utica-Rome and Fulton, proving he was the man to beat once the calendar hit the summer stretch. But once the season hit July, Dillon Paddock nailed a stretch of podium finishes to close the lead and battle for the championship.
Race after race, they would battle for victories and for the championship. From July 4 to Oct. 18, they won eight of the 14 A-Mains combined. Sobotka scored wins at Woodhull, Brewerton and Land of Legends. In contrast, Paddock won at Ransomville twice, Albany-Saratoga, Weedsport and Outlaw.
In the final race paying full points at Weedsport Sept. 28, all Sobotka needed was a 13th-place finish or better to clinch. While Paddock won, Sobotka finished second in the end, enough to clinch his first championship.
“It was the best year we could have hoped for racing with Dillon every race and battle with him,” said Sobotka.
Sobotka also won the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge Championship.
In recognition of the team's success in 2025, crew chief Mike Sobotka Jr. was also named Mechanic of the Year. For gaining 97 spots this season, Zach also won the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger award.
In addition, Sobotka received the Evan Canfield Memorial Best Appearing Car award, named in honor of the late CRSA photographer.
In a record $25,445 point fund, Sobotka took home the lion’s share with $3,500. In addition, the No. 38 earned $14,310 in race earnings, along with other miniseries points in 2025. 22 drivers took home points money thanks to the miniseries in the 2025 season sponsored by many marketing partners.
Despite coming oh so close to snatching the championship, Dillon Paddock has a lot to be proud of. Leading the series in wins with six, the No. 8 racked off a streak of seven straight top fives from a third at Land of Legends July 3, to a win at Albany-Saratoga Aug. 15.
Paddock showed numerous highlight reel moments that fit with his “Show Stopper” nickname, from restarting eighth to first in the win at Albany-Saratoga, a photo finish over Zach Sobotka at Weedsport and close-quarters defending in the $4000-to-win season finale at Outlaw.
"A great year compared to our first two years wrecking a lot," said Paddock. "We wanted to win the championship, but we got to congratulate Zach and the entire No. 38 team. They had an incredible first year in sprint cars. I got to thank everyone at these two tables, especially Charlie and Blake, with me night in and night out.
Paddock also won the Award for Sportsmanship for showing respect to everyone in CRSA, along with racing clean with Sobotka at the end of the year.
The Mike Emhof Motorsports Service Award went to CRSA Assistant Race Director Nick Fultz. Fultz has played a vital role throughout his time in CRSA, stepping in when promoter Mike Emhof is unable to and being responsible for passing points and series points, plus MyRacePass, whether in the tower, in the command center, or remotely.
Spencer Burley went from relief driver for Steve Glover last season in weekly competition to full-time in CRSA action in a second Glover Racing ride. “The Motocross Kid” scored his first series podium at Fulton in June and then won his first career CRSA feature in a Twin 20 at Woodhull on night one of the New York 305 Nationals. For his performance, Burley won Outstanding Newcomer.
After a CRSA victory at Land of Legends that shocked the sprint car region, Matt Rotz made the move from weekly action to full-time series competition. “The Hopewell Hot Shoe” made 12 features but was unable to finish in the top 10, giving the No. 77 the Tough Luck Award.
Blake Warner was the first to miss the full points fund, moving from a full-time season to an 11-start year, recording four top 10s and a best finish of eighth.
Bailey Boyd made the move up from 600cc Modifieds to 305 Sprint Cars this season. It was a tough start to the year, but showed up at Ransomville, recording a pair of top fives including a second-place run, eventually leading Boyd to finish 10th in points. The No. 3 was awarded Most Improved Driver.
A couple of years ago, a workplace injury left Darryl Ruggles' racing career unknown. The last two years saw "The Motorized Madman" step back to weekly racing at his home track, Land of Legends, where he is a wall of famer. This season, Ruggles returned to full-time series with not just an excellent opportunity to partner with the series, but also to race again alongside daughter Alysha and travel weekends with her family. Despite some wild rides this year, Ruggles returned to the podium in June at Utica-Rome, earning the Perseverance Award.
For the second year in a row, the CRSA Dedication Award went to more than one individual. The Sehn family, under the Maddog Motorsports banner, continues to attend races regardless of their performance in a race or a season. The father/son combo of Jerry Sehn Jr. and Dustin Sehn races and crews together.
The final special award was the Elab Smokers Boutique Dash Series Champion, going to the driver with the most success in the Scramble Dash races. Hutton took the accolades as the Dash Champion.
The Vendor Rewards Product Giveaway Program returned for 2025, offering over $10,000 in prizes. The top prize was a Magsaurus Magneto, new, Complete Vertex Magneto, valued at $1,749. All drivers in attendance had their name placed on a wheel for the Mag and as the wheel landed on a driver's name, they were eliminated. Scott Landers was the last man standing and took home the top prize.
In closing the banquet, Emhof informed drivers and teams in attendance that an exciting schedule is in the works for season No. 21 in 2026. Several tracks that hosted CRSA in 2025 have re-upped for 2026. More to be announced in the offseason.
STATS FROM 2025: A series record 48 drivers checked into Weedsport May 25, beating out 42 that was set by “The Port” the year before.
More tracks hosted the CRSA Sprints in 2024 than in any other season, with 13.
Jeff Trombley broke the all-time record for feature wins with 18 after scoring victories at Outlaw and Land of Legends. In addition, the veteran tied Josh Pieniazek for most top fives with 63 and has won at the most tracks with nine.
Jordan Hutton has tied Mike Kiser for consecutive seasons with at least one win after scoring a victory at Outlaw in August.
Woodhull has staged 12 races without a single repeat winner.
Five drivers scored their first career CRSA victory: Johnny Smith, Zach Sobotka, Mikey Smith, Spencer Burley and Scott Landers.
Paulie Colagiovanni, Burley, Bailey Boyd, Lance Dusett, Kyle Drum, Nolan Groves and Davie Franek scored their maiden top-five this season.
Thanks to Tom Skibinski, CRSA's statistician since 2006, for compiling these nuggets.
The CRSA Sprints are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025 and are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers.

DUTTON SAFER FENCING NAMED PRESENTING SPONSOR OF CHAMPIONS CELEBRATION
December 3, 2025 - Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com today announced Dutton Safer Fencing as one of its presenting sponsors of the upcoming 2025 Champions Awards Celebration January 10, 2026.
Dutton Safer Fencing joins Bull Dog Safety & Performance, P-1 Chassis, TTI Machine, and United Blower Inc. as additional presenting sponsors of this event.
Dutton Safer Fencing is the leader in racetrack safety features that include SAFER Barrier and outside retaining wall catch fencing. Dutton Safer Fencing projects can be found at historic American ovals at Daytona, Talladega, Iowa, Michigan, and Kansas speedways among many others.
Company CEO James Dutton, who is known as “JJ” to close friends and family, also spends a substantial amount of time behind the wheel of a winged pavement sprint car during the racing season. He finished eight in the final 2025 MSR National Series point standings.
Dutton’ s name can be found on numerous cars, tracks, and series throughout the racing season. The Lutz, Florida resident has a soft spot in his heart for his fellow racers.
“I used to be that guy who ran on peoples take offs” recalls Dutton. “I just done a little better in my life as I got older. I love sprint car racing, and I love to see people go forward and get better. That’s kinda why I help people out.
“I used to be that guy who used to struggle when I was younger. I used to live paycheck to paycheck and didn’t know if I’d be able to race. I had to work two jobs to spend every dollar I could on racing. I’m now able to be able to occasionally help somebody out who might need a hand.
“Anything that has my name on it at the racetrack helps my business. My business revolves around racetracks. Catch fence, SAFER Barrier, and safety at the track. I’ve actually got a couple of jobs from my name being at the racetrack. So, not only am I helping racers, but it also helps my business. Its worked out and goes hand-in-hand.”
Dutton had a memorable racing season of his own that might be better entitled “Dutton’s World Tour”. He competed in nearly ever inch of the country and even raced on Vancouver Island in Canada in August.
The highlight of his season was his final start in October in Pinellas Park, Florida. Dutton went from seventh to first on lap one. He led most of the race before fading late in the race with mechanical gremlins. Most Dutton’s racing was with MSR this past season.
“I like Must See Racing. Jim (Hanks) has his act together. I wanted to help him out with the Champions Awards Celebration. I enjoy the different racetracks that are on the schedule. Now that I’ve got experience at these tracks, its gonna make it easier on me when we go back to them next season.” concluded Dutton.
The 2025 Champions Awards Celebration will be streamed live January 10, 2026, on Racing America.TV.

SMALL(er) TRACK ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED BY PRI T.O.P.S. HQ PANEL
Finding, Discussing and Adding Available Resources Among Topics
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (Dec. 2) – Discussing the position and role of small(er) facilities, and the issues they face in today’s motorsports world, will be addressed as part of this year’s T.O.P.S. HQ (Track Operators, Promoters & Sanctioning Bodies Headquarters) learning sessions at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) in Indianapolis.
To be moderated by Larry Boos (Rumble in Fort Wayne), on Friday, December 12 at 1:30 p.m., the assembled panel will tackle the mislabeled word small, in reference to a facility’s ability to position themselves in the motorsports industry. “Every operation has a piece and stake in the motorsports puzzle, regardless of size; it’s just a matter of discussing options,” commented Boos.
Panel members Kolten Gouse (BAPS Motor Speedway), A.J. Moore (Lake Erie Speedway), Jonathan Eckelberg (High School Racing Association) and Steve Sinclair (IRA Sprints, K & K Insurance) will offer insight into the subject matter and field questions from the attendees.
Per Gouse, “there is value in conversation; through it we can learn how small venues, with just a little tweaking, can recognize revenue from multiple areas.” Moore confirmed that statement with, “you get ideas from listening to your peers. We can chat about how to transform your venue into a true multi-use destination, expanding beyond traditional motorsports to unlock new events, audiences, and revenue streams.”
Within the discussion will be the topic of demographics. Eckelberg noted that “racetracks around the country must actively attract younger generations to sustain our sport. This is something that our organization is doing and I look forward to sharing that concept.”
Sinclair, a seasoned veteran of the sport, summed up the new panel with, “sharing ideas and discussing issues is vital to our survival, particularly to venues with limited resources. Getting us together to talk about them is the start and this is a good one.”
The “Making Small(er) Tracks Great Again” session is open at no charge to all track operators attending PRI, regardless of their operation’s surface, size or configuration. Since its inception in 1986, Performance Racing Industry (PRI) has served as the motorsports industry's key source for trends, merchandising ideas, new products, business strategies, and more. The Indianapolis Convention Center will host this year’s conclave December 11-13.

ROBINSON FAB WORX POSTS RUMBLE SENIOR CHAMP BONUS
$100 up for grabs nightly to highest M.A.C.K.S./BBSS finisher
FORT WAYNE, IN (December 2, 2025) –Experimentation is taking place in the Senior Champ go-kart division at this year’s Rumble in Fort Wayne, and it has caught the eye of Brownville, Indiana’s Colby Robinson of Robinson Fab Worx.
The class specifications for the class have been modified to allow competitors from the Midwest Asphalt Champ Kart Series (M.A.C.K.S.) and the Buckeye Buggy Super Series (BBSS) to participate in the once-a-year indoor race inside the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Dec. 19 and 20. The adaptation will allow the two series to enter with their established rules package which varies from past Rumble specs.
“Something successful business owners do is experiment and not fear trying to do something new,” commented Robinson, who began his fabrication business in 2017. “And with this new experiment of combining rules packages, we are encouraging M.A.C.K.S. and BBSS racers to give it a shot.”
To that extent, Robinson, a racer himself, is offering a $100 nightly bonus to the highest finishing M.A.C.K.S./BBSS contender in the main event. “I know that a lot of thought has been put into this concept and the only way we will know how it will work, is give it a try and I look forward to seeing the outcome.”
Two full days of racing are on tap for the annual once-a-year indoor racing program. Joining the Senior Champ karts each day for full competition will be multiple other Economy Auto Parts/Coe Heating & Air Conditioning kart classes, full-sized Midgets, LiUNA non-winged 600cc Midgets, North Baltimore Custom Cuts winged 600cc Midgets, six divisions of BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets, and Cobra Racing Tires/Wedge Innovation Wedge Karts.

Dover Highlights Season by Extending Winning Streak and Capturing Championship
Inside Line Promotions
Shawn@InsideLinePromotions.com | (541) 510-3663
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Dec. 1, 2025) – Jack Dover powered to a pair of feature victories to extend his streak of winning seasons to 21 in a row.
“Overall, I would call it an above-average season,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “Everybody always wishes it was better, but considering 410 racing is the best it’s ever been and we won two races, I’m pleased with that. Two wins doesn’t sound like a lot, but there’s hundreds of racers out there who wish they had one win. It’s getting harder each year.
“It was one of the more fun years I’ve had in racing. We got to race with some of the best racers out there and at the top level in 410s. Nowadays you have to be on top of your game as far as setup, tires, wings. It’s a challenge every night. You can’t just go out there, throw something together and get a top five. The most fun thing is probably the challenge.”
Dover’s two victories were during Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars competition. That ranked second best in the series, which he also led with 11 top fives and 12 top 10s en route to winning the championship. Dover became the first driver in MSTS history to capture both the 410 and 360 championships.
“I think it’s pretty cool,” he said. “I think I won a couple of 360 championships so to be able to get the 410 championship is cool. Also, I haven’t done much 410 racing in my career and the last two years I ran a total of like 25 races as I was helping Timmy (Estenson). It’s pretty awesome to come out with a championship this year.”
Additionally, Dover garnered the MSTS King of the Wings title and he finished fifth in the championship standings at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.
Another astounding statistic from the season is that Dover officially gained 161 positions during A Mains this season. In fact, he passed seven or more cars a whopping 13 times, moved forward double-digit positions four times and charged a season-best 14 spots during two different races.
“Something that really stands out for the season is all of the Hard Charger Awards we earned as well as finishing the season with more than 160 cars passed in the A Mains,” he said. “We weren’t as good in qualifying, but we were very good in the features. For us to pass that many cars and get that many Hard Chargers is pretty respectable.”
Also of note, Dover ended the season with seven top-10 finishes in a row and he recorded his career-best Short Track Nationals result; his best Knoxville Nationals result since 2021; his best 360 Knoxville Nationals result since 2018; his best 410 result at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, since 2014; and his best World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series result since 2014.
“I want to thank Tim Estenson and everyone who backed the team for their support this year,” Dover said. “I think with what we learned throughout the year, specifically toward the end of the season after we made some changes, if we started the season right now we’d win a lot more races and take even a bigger step forward.”
SEASON STATS –
51 races, 2 wins, 17 top fives, 28 top 10s, 33 top 15s, 37 top 20s

Eastern Motorsport Press Association Hall of Fame Inductees and Award Winners Announced…Kenny Bernstein, Frank Cozze, Rick Ferkel, Jan Leaty, Paul Page, and Steve Smith, Jr. to HoF; Austin Beers and Anthony Macri are Northeast Drivers of the Year
(HAZLE TOWNSHIP, PA 12-1-25) The Eastern Motorsport Press Association (EMPA) is proud to announce the class of 2026 entering its prestigious Hall of Fame. This announcement comes in advance of the 53rd EMPA Convention, taking place from January 16-18, at the Holiday Inn in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Members of EMPA, professionals in motorsports media, voted to induct those selected for entry into the Hall of Fame. They also voted for winners of several other awards affiliated with the organization.
The EMPA Hall of Fame inductees for 2026 represent various forms of racing. Kenny Bernstein represents the NHRA. Nicknamed both the “Bud King” and “The King of Speed”, he left his mark as a Funny Car drag racer. The first drag racer to break 300 miles per hour on a standing-start quarter mile dragstrip, Bernstein also owned King Racing, and he fielded cars in both NASCAR and IndyCar over the years. Bernstein was previously inducted into both the NHRA Hall of Fame and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
Frank Cozze has transcended the decades, beginning in the 1970’s and he is still competitive, capable of winning any race he enters. A winner in dirt Modifieds up and down the east coast, in 2008 he captured the crown jewel when he won at Super Dirt Week at the Syracuse Mile. Cozze promoted special events at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, and he and his family ran Nazareth Speedway through its final year.
The late Rick Ferkel was nicknamed “The Buckeye Traveler” as the Ohio native chased big events and was an early star when the World of Outlaws Sprint series began. One of the winningest Sprint Car drivers (250+ wins), he also spent many years as an official, crew chief for Doug Kalitta’s USCA Sprint Car team, and as a team owner. In the 1970’s, he regularly had 30+ wins, earning a career-high 38 race victories in 1978.
Jan Leaty’s asphalt racing career began in a Street Stock in 1978. He moved to a Late Model and won his first title in 1981. His career rocketed skyward when he jumped up to the Modified division. The Williamson, NY hot shoe won 9 times on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and has 18 wins on the RoC Tour, along with countless wins during weekly action at several tracks. Leaty won the prestigious Race of Champions at Pocono Raceway and had wins at North Wilkesboro, New Hampshire, and Nazareth Speedways. Jan has already been inducted into the Oswego Speedway, FOAR Score Racing Club and Race of Champions Halls of Fame.
“The Voice of the 500”, Paul Page has worldwide recognition, whether on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Radio Network or on ABC-TV broadcasts of the Indy 500. For 25 years he was part of ABC and ESPN coverage of IndyCar, NHRA, NASCAR, the X Games, the Olympics, and even the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. His co-hosting duties with Bobby Unser and Sam Posey, begun in 1988, were both entertaining and popular ‘500” broadcasts. Page returned to the IMS Radio Network in 2014-2015 as the “Voice of the 500” and he then co-hosted the 100th Indianapolis 500 broadcast in 2016.
Steve Smith, Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps throughout his 31-year career in Sprint Car racing. He won 222 features, with 84 of them on the WoO Series. His highlights include Port Royal’s Tuscarora 50, Williams Grove’s National Open (3 times), the Grove’s Mitch Smith Memorial (3 times), the ’94 Gold Cup at silver Dollar Speedway, and the ’05 Brad Doty Classic. In 2015 he won the PA Sprint Speedweek title and earned 15 wins there over the years. In 2015 Smith won the Ohio Sprint Speedweek title. Smith was inducted in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and now joins his father in the EMPA Hall of Fame.
The EMPA/Richie Evans Memorial Northeast Driver of the Year goes annually to both an asphalt and a dirt racer. By member vote, both of this year’s winners hail from Pennsylvania. For the second consecutive year the asphalt honoree won the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship. Austin Beers, a former EMPA Young Gun award winner, became the youngest Tour champion in their history. On the dirt side Anthony Macri won the PA Speedweek title, and he picked up $200,000 for winning the Kings Royal at Eldora. Those highlight many of his big achievements in 2025.
EMPA’s Al Holbert Memorial National Driver of the Year was left open for members to write in the driver he or she felt had put together the most award-worthy season. Thirteen racers earned votes, but it was Kyle Larson who is receiving this prestigious award for the fourth time.
The 2025 EMPA/John Blewett III Young Gun award, presented by New England Race Fuels, will go home with 20-year-old dirt Modified racer Alex Payne. Payne finished the season with eight wins, 47 top five and 59 top 10 finishes in 77 total starts.
Halmar/Friesen Racing has won the 2025 EMPA/Chris Economaki Memorial Newsmaker of the Year Award. Team co-owner Stewart Friesen had a great season underway until he sustained severe injuries in a vicious racing incident. The team rebounded putting Kayden Honeycutt in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck and Alex Yankowski in the Modified. Both drivers did their part to end on solid footing while Friesen continued to recover from his injuries.
Rex Merritt is the recipient of the 2025 EMPA/Junie Dunlavey Memorial Spirit of the Sport Award. His career in IMCA Modifieds dates back to what was a new concept in 1979. The winner on both dirt and asphalt hundreds of times, his sweetest win of all came when he won the A-Modified title at Lucas Oil Speedway the same year his granddaughter won the B-Modified crown. His four decades of racing clearly demonstrated his passion for the sport.
Kolten Gouse from BAPS Motor Speedway will accept a pair of awards. His versatility in racetrack promotions earned him the 2025 EMPA Promotional Effort of the Year. In 2025 he held a $5 admission to a 410 Spring Car show, a Halloween Tour with race cars throughout several nearby towns, a special media day event, a “Photo of the Day” promotion, a tribute to engine builders, and he held a fundraiser that resulted in $10,000 for area police officers killed or injured in the line of duty. Gouse will also receive the Jerry Riegle Contribution to Sprint Car Racing Award, determined and presented annually by World Racing Group.
Elections also took place for the EMPA Board of Directors. Current President Dino Oberto retained his seat, while Matt Mallett will join the Board. Both are for three-year terms.
During the formal awards dinner presentations, the organization will also recognize many of their own including the 2025 EMPA/Jim Hunter Memorial Writer of the Year and the 2025 EMPA/Ace Lane Sr. Memorial Photographer of the Year. Many members will also accept honors for work they submitted in the 2025 EMPA/Pocono Raceway Writers Contest and the 2025 EMPA/Bill Brice Photo Contest.
The annual convention begins with a Friday evening “Salute to the Champions” where local and regional driving titlists have a meet and greet with the press and enjoy socializing after interviews. Saturday consists of press conferences, workshops and guest speakers. Dave Moody, known for his work on the Motor Racing Network and for years of announcing at countless racetracks, is this year’s keynote speaker on Saturday. The convention culminates with the evening’s Hall of Fame dinner and awards ceremony.
Founded in 1969, the Eastern Motorsport Press Association is an organization of professional writers, broadcasters, announcers, videographers, and photographers working in the motorsports industry. It also includes associate and corporate members Dover Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Bill Brice, Wanick Construction, The Wire Guys, New England Race Fuels, Evergreen Raceway, Grandview Speedway, Big Diamond Speedway, Elite Custom Awards, Speedway Illustrated, World Racing Group, Himmer Graphics and Snyder Web Design, who are among the supporters of the organization.

Mallett Refreshed After Unique Year and Eager to Return to Racing in 2026
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (Dec. 1, 2025) – Perspective is a good word to describe the 2025 racing season for Jordon Mallett, who stepped away from his winged sprint car in the summer to shift priorities.
“We came out well and won a race and were doing our normal thing,” he said. “By late summer we had some family stuff going on and I decided to take a step back to be present with the family. That’s something I probably haven’t done a great job with over my career. After as many years as I’ve spent on the road, it was okay to take some time off to be with family. It was a shift in mindset.
“We had speed and everything lined up like we wanted. I wasn’t quite where I needed to be mentally and I needed to take a step back to spend family time. It was tough because I wanted to be in the race car because that’s what I know, but it was well worth it because it helped my mind. Life has changed now that I have my daughter and it’s made me appreciate my family time more. I enjoy racing, but it was a time I needed to stop and be present with her.”
Prior to his sabbatical from the seat, Mallett recorded one win and nine top 10s in 10 starts while missing out on nearly as many opportunities to race because of rainouts.
“I felt we were really solid and we had speed,” he said. “As the season progressed, it was really tough because we didn’t get an opportunity to run a lot of races because it seemed it rained every other week in the spring and summer. We had good speed, but could have been faster.”
Mallett’s triumph was his 39th career sprint car victory and it gave him a winning season during 12 of the last 14 years.
“That weekend was crazy,” he said. “We had raced with the ASCS National Tour in Kentucky in May. I went to our engine builder’s in North Carolina and went over some stuff. We decided to go to Milton, Fla., to race and it was mostly testing. On the Friday night we were hitting on all cylinders and everything went as it should have and we won. We changed a bunch of stuff up and our engine package for Saturday. We hit on all cylinders that night as well and felt we had the car to win. Some officiating got in the way and we left with a second-place finish, but it was a really solid weekend.”
Mallett has a fresh outlook for the 2026 racing season.
“My mind is focused on next year,” he said. “We left it in the summer as I was taking a little bit of time off. We’re going to get back to racing next year and are currently working on our plan.
“I want to thank our partners not only for their support of our race team, but of me as a person. They have always been behind me and were behind me this year when I needed to take some time off from racing. I feel blessed to have so many great people supporting me.”

Arenz enjoys career ascending year
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 25, 2025 – In his third full-time season of
410 Sprint Car competition, Travis Arenz broke through in impressive
fashion.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver scored a monumental upset victory in the High Limit Racing Rayce Rudeen Foundation main event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Thursday, June 5.
After pocketing by far the biggest first-place prize of his 18-season career, Arenz found himself the talk of the Sprint Car racing world with the bright lights of the Flo Racing cameras documenting his big win on the national stage.
That wasn’t the only winning the two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion did in 2025.
He also tallied a pair of victories in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on May 17 and 141 Speedway on Sept. 13.
The triumphs ran his career 410 Sprint Car A-main win total to four.
Despite missing three IRA events, Arenz capped the 2025 campaign eighth in the final IRA point standings.
Arenz, who has amassed a total of 74 career main event victories to date, capped the 2025 campaign with three A-main victories, five podium showings, nine top-five results, 14 top-10 finishes, six heat race victories, 13 dash appearances, three dash victories, and one fast qualifier award in 24 completed events.
With a total of six series and track championships under his belt, Arenz is looking forward to 2026.
“Plans for 2026 aren’t completely set yet, but I can say I will definitely be racing a Sprint Car,” Arenz said.

Travis Arenz Motorsports Sponsor Showcase – Don and Lynn Kiel
Don and Lynn Kiel’s first date came when they attended a race at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., in June 1998, and they have been together ever since, marrying on Feb. 14, 2005. Lynn spent her working career in the banking industry, retiring in 2017 after 39 years as an assistant vice president at a local Manitowoc bank.
Lynn's interest in racing started when she attended the races at the 141 Speedway as a child with her dad, Andy Endries. RIP ANDY!
Don's interest in racing started when he bought Dean Divine's Modified in the early 1970s. Don's driving experience involved Modifieds and Mini Sprints, as well as 360 Sprint Cars at Manitowoc Expo Speedway in 2011 and 2012.
Don spent four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting the night of his graduation party. He was honorably discharged after four years in 1967 as an Airman First Class. Don was a Minuteman Missile electrician serving as team chief his last year and got to take part in the test firing of four Minuteman Missiles at Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc, Calif. Don was based at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. for 41 months.
Don started flying in Cheyenne at the age of 19, secured his first flying job three days after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force at age 22, and retired at age 60. He retired as Senior Captain on the 300-passenger Airbus A330-300 flying to London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. He has logged over 30,000 hours of flying time with a lot of stories to tell.
For a glimpse of Don's career, Google Don Kiel Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame. For a view of his favorite aircraft that he owned for four years, check out the Warbird Takeoff by looking up Beech 18 Takeoff Great Radial Engine Sound on YouTube. Click on the 32-second video. Don and Lynn continue to fly his 1952 Cessna 170B, both on wheels and skis in the winter.
Don loves to say, “It's pretty cool when your vocation and avocation are one and the same!”
“We started out sponsoring Travis Arenz by buying him a set of rear tires five years ago, and the rest is history,” Don Kiel said. “Travis is a very talented racer, from the tiniest detail to the actual racing. I love to watch Travis feel the track out and then work his magic. I sponsor Travis as I feel he is one of the best!”

The Plymouth, Wis. driver completed the 2025 campaign with four top-10 main event showings, one B main victory, four IRA dash appearances, and one fast qualifier award in 27 events.

One Final Go for “Shugah’” Shane Sexton in 2025
Perris, California — November 22, 2025 — “Shugah’” Shane
Sexton will close out his 2025 campaign this Tuesday night, November 25th,
at the Bakersfield Speedway. The program features the California Lightning
Sprints presented by Motor City Buick/GMC, running in the Western States
Lightning Sprints Championship. The race is part of the USAC NOS Energy
Drink Midget Jason Leffler Memorial on the track located inside Kevin
Harvick’s Kern Raceway complex.
The outing will be the 14th of the season for the Warner Springs, California racer, his second appearance with the California Lightning Sprints, and his 10th Lightning Sprint race of the year. Earlier in 2025, the ever-upbeat Sexton made eight starts with the SoCal Lightning Sprint Cars at Barona Speedway in San Diego County, finishing sixth in the club’s second-season points chase.
Tuesday’s show marks the 22-year-old’s first return since 2021 to the Bakersfield oval located just off Interstate 5. Those earlier appearances were during his rookie season in full-size sprint cars and were also his first taste of the talent-laden USAC/CRA Series. While he did not transfer out of the B-mains, he showed promise for a newcomer and set the groundwork for his future in sprint car competition.
Sexton’s most recent race was two weeks ago with USAC/CRA at Perris Auto Speedway. On a brisk evening, he climbed into a 410 sprint car for the first time in nearly five months. After starting 21st, he charged forward six spots to finish 15th. Only two other drivers advanced more positions in the 30-lap main on the famed half-mile clay oval.
Fans who want to join “Shugah’” for his final race of 2025 can head to Bakersfield on Tuesday. Spectator gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 5:00. Adult tickets are $30, kids 6–12 are $15, and children 5 and under are admitted free. The track sits alongside Interstate 5 at 13500 Raceway Boulevard in Bakersfield. More information is available at bakersfieldspeedway.com or by calling (661) 835-1264.
Those unable to attend can still catch all the action with flag-to-flag coverage on the FloRacing app.
Thank You to Our 2025 Partners: Gas Chassis, Mike Pridgeon Race Engines, Savage Racing, and Elite Powder Coating.
Businesses interested in partnering with Shane Sexton’s exciting program are encouraged to contact him at ShaneSexton7@gmail.com or (610) 362-5921.

BULLDOG SAFETY & PERFORMANCE PARTNERS UP FOR MUST SEE CHAMPIONS CELEBRATION
November 20, 2025 – Holly, Michigan - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.com today announced that Bulldog Safety & Performance will be a presenting sponsor of the January 10, 2026, 16th annual Champions Awards Celebration.
Bulldog Safety & Performance is a Toledo, Ohio based parts and sales service that carries everything from safety equipment, wheels, shocks, and hoses among other things. They specialize in open wheel racing.
It is only fitting that Bulldog Safety & Performance has come on board as a presenting sponsor of the annual Champions Awards Celebration. The company is all too familiar with Must See Racing. The owner Jimmy McCune is a five-time series champion.
“We carry pretty much everything from safety equipment to performance parts” explains McCune. “We’ve pretty much got everything. We try to stick mostly with the open wheel stuff. We carry everything from driving equipment to performance parts. I don’t have much of a showroom at this point yet, just our Facebook page right now”.
“Most of our customers are from the dirt side, mostly dirt guys from around my area who will call me for stuff. But I’ve got a few pavement guys. This is a great way to get our name out there and let guys know we’re here and can help you with all your needs. Slowly but surely, we’re branching out.”
McCune has cut his pavement racing back in recent seasons to focus on his teenage son Jimbo McCune. The younger McCune, who is a fourth generation of the famed McCune family to have strapped behind the wheel, has shown flashes of greatness early in his career.
In only his second start on pavement this past August, he won his heat race that included the likes of his father Jimmy, Jason Blonde, and Ryan Litt. He was running in the top five of the feature before being sidelined with early mechanical issues.
“I think he completely surprised everybody. He put everybody on notice that he wants to drive a race car. He’s gonna run the majority on dirt this year, but he’ll run the asphalt races that I run. We'll see how many races that ends up being” concluded McCune.
The 2025 Champions Awards Celebration will honor 2025 MSR National Series champion Joe Liguori and 2025 MSR Lights champion JJ Henes. The event will be held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Dakota Albright Caps Season With Runner Up Finish at Hangtown 100
ETERSEN MEDIA- Traveling to Placerville Speedway on Saturday for one final race in 2025, Dakota Albright and his team had a solid finale as the Waterford, CA driver closed the year out with a 2nd place finish.
“From state to finish we were pretty good,” Dakota Albright said. “We timed in well and raced well in our heat and in the feature. We weren’t quite good enough to pick up the win, but I am happy to end our season on a good note.”
With a total of 17 Lighting Sprints checked into Placerville Speedway to take part in the Hangtown 100, Albright timed his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35jr mount in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Taking the green flag from the fifth starting position in his heat race, Albright was able to move forward on the extremely fast and locked down track surface that took a beating from excessive rain in the days leading up to the event.
Working his way up to a fourth place finish, Albright was locked into the outside of the second row for the 20-lap feature event.
Hitting the track for the feature event, things had a hard time getting going as numerous start attempts were negated to flips. Abel to avoid some of the fray, Albright was up into second when the race finally went green.
Running in second, Albright was able to keep race leader, Greg Dennett within striking distance but just didn’t quite have enough to get up to him and battle for the lead.
Despite being extremely happy with his car, Albright was forced to settle for a runner up finish on this night.
“We had a great car in the feature but he was just better,” Albright said. “Nothing to hang our heads about heading into the offseason. We had good speed, and I am happy with how we were ending our year.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright had brought his season to a close.

UNIQUE KLOTZ KLASH TEAM RACE DETAILED
25 laps of action, featuring rolling start and relay concept to determine
winning team
FORT WAYNE, IN (November 19, 2025) – “It’s going to be wild – like nothing else seen at the Rumble before,” is the best way promoter Larry Boos can sum up the newly announced Klotz Klash Team Race for karts at this year’s Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. It will be contested Saturday, Dec. 20, on day two ofthe racing extravaganza competing on the 1/7-mile purpose-built concrete oval inside the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, with $300 going to the winning team and $200 to the runner-ups.
Up to six teams can be entered into the Klotz Klash, with each team consisting of five karts, one each of the following Economy Auto Parts kart divisions – Junior 3, Junior Sportsman, Predator, Clone 360 and Senior Champ. Additionally, five different drivers must be used on the team and drivers can only drive for one team.
The initial line-up will be determined by the team captain at the time of team introductions and will start with Junior Sportsman entries in a rolling start based upon that draw. Each segment will be five quick laps. It will be a continuous green flag situation. Upon the completion of each sector, the team delegate will pull into the infield area, behind their colleague, who will be released from a Rumble official to complete their five laps.
The running order following the initial Junior 3 leg will be Senior Champ, Predator, Junior Sportsman and conclude with the Clone 360 members.
“It is going to take a lot of coordination and skill once the green flag drops,” continued Boos. “Each leg must be properly staged, the driver ready and then be smooth in blending back to the racing surface to race hard and complete their segment.”
“As a Fort Wayne-based company, Klotz Lubricants is proud to support the racing community in an event that shines a spotlight on the passion and tradition of motorsports in our region,” commented Klotz General Manager Cale Carney. “We have been following the Rumble for years; it’s a holiday season gathering of families, fans, and competitors from across the Midwest, and we’re excited to help elevate the experience.”
Founded in 1959, Klotz Oil has over 60 years of service to racers and performance enthusiasts around the world, who have relied on Klotz to grab the checkered flag. Carney concluded, “partnering with the Rumble allows us to engage directly with racers, share our commitment to high-quality products and contribute to an event that has become a staple of Fort Wayne pride.”
Joining the go-kartseach day for complete racing programs will be the full-sized Midgets, along with LiUNA non-winged 600cc Midgets, North Baltimore Custom Cuts winged 600cc Midgets, BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets andCobra Racing Tire/Wedge Innovation Wedge Karts.
Complete information regarding the December 19 and 20 events will be updated on www.rumbleinfortwayne.com as it becomes available.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Produce Special Season That Culminates in Second World of Outlaws Championship
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Nov. 18, 2025) – The 2025 racing season was a magical one for Big Game Motorsports and David Gravel.
The combination produced a second straight World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship, making Gravel only the sixth driver to ever win back-to-back titles with ‘The Greatest Show on Dirt’ in its storied history.
“I feel like it was a really successful season,” he said. “I wanted to defend the title and was able to do that. Our consistency was awesome with the guys bringing a fast race car every night. I think that was our biggest achievement. It’s pretty remarkable what we were able to do. We had high hopes.
“I think we were expected to win. It’s not easy. Everybody is gunning for you. Just because you are expected to win doesn’t mean it’s an easy task. We put our heads down and worried about ourselves and did our jobs night in and night out.”
Gravel led the World of Outlaws in feature triumphs with 17 official victories. He added another trip to Victory Lane during a race with a split field for 18 total wins.
Among the triumphs were several big moments, including the $83,000-to-win Dennis Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., and the Hard Knox Night during the Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. In total, the team was victorious in Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, New York, New Mexico, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Ontario, Canada.
“I don’t know if there’s one that sticks out other than Tulare, winning in that fashion and being our biggest win of our season,” he said. “Truly what sticks out the most to me is the struggles we had for the big events, especially the Kings Royal week and Knoxville Nationals week. I think we had very good finishes on the week; we just had to dig deep and really work for it. I’m proud of those weeks.”
Gravel charged from 19th to fifth place during the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, and from 21st to third during the Knoxville Nationals. He also placed sixth during both the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., and the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Additionally, Gravel topped the World of Outlaws in podium finishes, top fives and top 10s as well as feature laps led, quick time awards, heat race wins and dash appearances. According to stats from the World of Outlaws, Gravel’s average finish of 4.13 is the best for a champion since 2018.
“Very cool and definitely proud of it,” he said. “I’m bummed about crashing on the final race of the year because I think that could have got our average finish under four if we had finished on the podium. It was a great season and something that was hard to do. You look at the record books and it’s something that doesn’t happen very often.”
Also of note, Gravel was awarded Social Ambassador of the Year and Big Game Motorsports’ engine builder – Morrison Racing Engines – garnered the Engine Builder of the Year Award for the second straight season at the World of Outlaws banquet.
The team plans to return to World of Outlaws competition in 2026.

Dover Drives to Runner-Up Result During Debut at Vado Speedway Park
Inside Line Promotions – VADO, N.M. (Nov. 18, 2025) – Jack Dover was on the move last weekend during his debut at Vado Speedway Park.
Dover, who piloted a sprint car for Huband Motorsports, gained multiple positions each time he hit the track throughout the two-day event en route to a runner-up result on Friday and an eighth-place finish on Saturday.
“That place is cool,” he said. “It’s really racy. I thought our weekend went pretty good considering I’d never driven that car or been to that track before.”
Dover kicked off the weekend by hustling from eighth to second place during a heat race on Friday. That moved him into the feature redraw and he pulled the No. 6 to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event. Dover gained four spots to garner a podium position – his ninth of the season.
“We were pretty good,” he said. “I was able to maneuver. On the top I was good and bottom I was good. I made some mistakes in traffic and felt like the car wasn’t pulling from the middle off the corner so we fixed that the next day.”
The weekend wrapped up on Saturday with another solid performance in a heat race as Dover advanced from eighth to fifth place. That locked him into the 15th starting position in the A Main.
“The track wasn’t as wide the second day,” he said. “At that point everybody was pretty fast. We picked off a couple and got into the feature. We slowly picked them off one by one in the feature. At one point we were third or fourth. With about 10 or 12 laps to go the rubber set in and my tires went away so we lost a few positions.”
Dover’s eighth-place result was his 27th top 10 of the season.
The season concludes for Dover this Friday and Saturday at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Ariz., with the POWRi Desert Sprint Car Series. It will mark his debut at the track, where he will race for Huband Motorsports.
“I’m excited,” he said. “Me and Timmy (Estenson) went there a couple of years ago when he raced it. I think it will suit my style. I’m excited to race with the guys again and try our best.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Nov. 14 – Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M. – Heat race: 2 (8); Feature: 2 (6).
Nov. 15 – Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M. – Heat race: 5 (8); Feature: 8 (15).
SEASON STATS –
50 races, 2 wins, 16 top fives, 27 top 10s, 32 top 15s, 36 top 20s

2025 Season Celebrated at the Empire Super Sprints Awards
Banquet
By Barbara Patterson
Vernon, NY - On November 15, at the Vernon Downs Hotel, the Empire Super Sprints celebrated their 42nd season with the Chasing Neon band as entertainment. A familiar name was etched on the championship eagle trophy, as Jordan Poirier earned his fourth ESS Championship in back-to-back-to-back-to back years.
The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Jordan “the Canadian Cannon” Poirier as the 2025 Empire Super Sprints Champion. Jordan beat out runner up Dylan Swiernik, 3rd place Davie Franek, 4th place Jason Barney and 5th place Shawn Donath. Jordan earned 20 top 5s, 22 top 10s and led 98 laps. Out of the 23 races “the Canadian Cannon” finished outside the top ten only once and finished on the podium 16 times. During the season, he amassed 5 Rifenburg Contracting Corp. fast time awards, 9 Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins and 4 wins at Cornwall Motor, Brighton, Brockville Ontario and Albany-Saratoga Speedways. Jordan solidified the 7 race Canadian Series Championship by finishing in the top 10 for all of the races and winning 3 of them.
Dylan Swiernik had a banner year. He bettered his stats by finishing 2nd in points by earning 15 top 5s, 20 top 10s, 8 heat wins and 4 wins at Fulton, Can-Am, Utica-Rome and Autodrome Drummond Speedways. Dylan received the A-Verdi Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars, 91, throughout the season. The Rifenburg Contracting Fast Time Series went to Dylan for posting the fastest timed hot laps at 11 races. He was presented with the perpetual Speedweek championship belt for being the Pitre Painting CNY Speedweek Champion due to his 3 wins out of the grueling 5 race speedweek. His stats and numerous awards earned Dylan the Most Improved Driver.
Several special awards were handed out. ESS recognized the 13 different winners out of the 24 races, with 3 drivers earning their 1st victory. The Walt Throne Best Appearing Car was voted on by the fans. After over 1,000 votes the sharp looking green #7C of Dylan Swiernik’s team took home the honor. The peer-voted Mechanic of the Year award went to Cody Buhler, crew chief on the Swiernik race team. Dalton Rombough attained the Cobra Coaches Dash Series Championship by 1 point over Joe Trenca. He was presented with snake-skin cowboy boots by Cobra Coaches owner Chuck Hebing and Joe Trenca received baby pink snake-skin cowboy boots for his soon to be born daughter. The Lane’s Yamaha Rookie of the Year was Tyler Reynolds who moved from Sportsman to 360 sprints this year. Due to engine issues, he only competed in 14 races and scored his best finish of 14th at Autodrome Granby. The Outstanding Newcomer was Quebecois Alex Therrien who finished 8th in the points standings and earned his 1st feature win in front of a packed house of family and friends at Autodrome Granby. The “ironmen” drivers of Poirier, Swiernik, Franek and Barney, who competed in the entire tour, were applauded for their commitment and dedication.
ESS Technical Director Fred Shaughnessy was honored with the John Zentner Award. Fred displays the qualities of John Zentner: commitment, hard work, passion for the sport and a true friend to all in the pits. His attention to detail, work ethic, and willingness to step in wherever and whenever necessary is second to none. Congratulations to Fred who represents ESS in the best possible way.
Chuck “the Cobra” Hebing was inducted into the ESS Hall of Fame for his outstanding performance in sprint car racing. The Cobra has the most wins in ESS CNY Speedweek history with 6 and won back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012. This year Chuck came out of retirement to run 5 races and scored his 40th and final career win which moved him to 3rd place on the ESS All Time Win list. His total 360 sprint wins were 101 with multiple car owners across various sanctions at 33 different tracks. Congratulations to Chuck for his contributions as an ESS champion, competitor, sponsor and board of director.

PENNSYLVANIA’S FINEST: Danny Dietrich secures Central PA

ByTyler Altmeyer

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (November 17, 2025) – It is official; Danny Dietrich is the best open wheel ace in Pennsylvania, securing the 2025 Central PA Sprint Cars championship for a $10,000 payday.
Dietrich, who also captured the 2025 Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions, concluded his campaign with BAPS Motor Speedway’s season-ending Sprint Showdown on November 15, and despite a DNF outcome, his stat sheet speaks for itself.
“Overall, another incredible year for Gary Kauffman Racing. Everyone works so hard and I appreciate their effort. Gary gives us the tools necessary to be successful and we’ve proven that time and time again,” Dietrich, backed by Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, C&M Motorsports, Drop of Ink Tattoo, RLR Trucking, and Blud Lubricants, said. “To our partners, fans, and long time supporters, we thank you so much. We wanted our season to end on a better note than what it did, but it comes with the territory.”
“Double-D” concluded his 2025 season with a combined 12 victories, padding the stat card with an impressive 63 top-ten achievements, 47 of which occurring within the top-five. Of Dietrich’s 12 victories, perhaps his most impressive was accomplished in the Buckeye State with the Dean Knittel Memorial championship worth over $26,000 – the final leg of Ohio Sprint Speedweek.
Dietrich’s most recent victory was secured at BAPS, winning the Kevin Gobrecht Classic in late September.
“We were in a position to win a lot more than what we did, but we’ll work to outdo that next year,” Dietrich continued. “If all goes according to plan, we’ll see everyone in Florida.”

Whittall drives Curt Michael’s No. 27H to a top-ten at
BAPS; Southern Hemisphere bound
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 17, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (November 17, 2025) – Getting the call from Curt Michael led to an opportunity he could not refuse, and for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall, it also led to a season extension, driving Michael’s Heffner Racing Enterprises South No. 27H in BAPS Motor Speedway’s season-ending Sprint Showdown on Saturday, November 15.
Whittall, who recently captured a second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph at Bridgeport Motorsports Park worth $12,000, finished tenth in his Heffner South debut, catapulting ahead nine positions after starting from the inside of row ten – he was forced to do so after missing a heat race transfer position.
“Super grateful for the opportunity to drive for Curt Michael at BAPS Motor Speedway. A great chance for us to connect and a great chance for me to learn from him. In all, I’m proud of what we were able to accomplish. It’s never easy jumping into a new car, but we made a lot of progress,” Whittall said. “I’m heading Down Under here soon…I guess it’s time to pack my bags.”
As noted in prior press, Whittall is set to rejoin RBH Racing, RBH Group and Turret Engineering for an Australian campaign beginning December 6 at Perth Motorplex. In total, Whittall is scheduled to enter just over 20 events in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which headlined with High Limit Racing International just after Christmas.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2025
Dayne Kingshott is the king again!
The driver of the Krikke Motorsport W2 claimed his third successive Scardifields Smash Repairs King of Wings at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night from Australian champion James McFadden and Callum Williamson.
Kingshott held off a late lunge from McFadden on the last lap, with the margin to determine the winner of round three of the 2025-26 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series being 0.010 of a second.
After the race Kingshott admitted he thought McFadden got the win and it wasn’t until he parked the car that he realised he had won it.
And this was on top of clipping the back straight concrete fence with only a lap and a half to go in the 40-lap final that was punctuated by an infield pitstop on lap 15.
The result was also Kingshott’s second win in three outings this season, with his other result being a fifth.
He was second quickest in his qualifying group and then took a third in both his heat race and the A Dash to start from p5 in the final.
McFadden started from pole in the final after being third quickest in his group, then taking a win in his heat race and the Revolution Racegear A Dash.
Williamson also started on the front row after being third quickest in his qualifying group and then taking wins in his heat race and the Revolution Racegear B Dash.
The race had gone one lap before Matt Cross spun and was sent to the rear.
A few laps later, Kodi Clayden and Ryan Newton both headed to the work area for repairs on the back of another caution.
When the pitstop was called, Kerry Madsen was leading from Ryan Lancaster, Kingshott, McFadden and Jy Corbett.
Jason Kendrick was the primary cause of an incident with 26 laps remaining, spinning and seeing him go to the work area for repairs, along with a couple of other cars.
Lancaster’s good run came to an end shortly afterwards, hitting the fence on the main straight, while Kaiden Manders was also out, breaking a right rear tyre.
Matthew Cross, who crashed hard at the last show, did the same thing again shortly afterwards, ending his night.
Newton, who had to go to the work area early in the race to replace a buckled right rear tyre, was fourth, while Madsen held on for fifth.
Corbett, Daniel Harding, Taylor Milling, Luke Oldfield and Brad Maiolo rounded out the top 10.
The next event, round 4, will be the Jolly Good Electrics, WA Sprintcar Title, at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday, December 6.
This will be followed a week later with the first of the country rounds, at Albany Speedway, on Saturday, December 13.

2025 Season Celebrated at the Empire Super Sprints Awards Banquet
By Barbara Patterson
Vernon, NY - On November 15, at the Vernon Downs Hotel, the Empire Super Sprints celebrated their 42nd season with the Chasing Neon band as entertainment. A familiar name was etched on the championship eagle trophy, as Jordan Poirier earned his fourth ESS Championship in back-to-back-to-back-to back years.
The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Jordan “the Canadian Cannon” Poirier as the 2025 Empire Super Sprints Champion. Jordan beat out runner up Dylan Swiernik, 3rd place Davie Franek, 4th place Jason Barney and 5th place Shawn Donath. Jordan earned 20 top 5s, 22 top 10s and led 98 laps. Out of the 23 races “the Canadian Cannon” finished outside the top ten only once and finished on the podium 16 times. During the season, he amassed 5 Rifenburg Contracting Corp. fast time awards, 9 Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins and 4 wins at Cornwall Motor, Brighton, Brockville Ontario and Albany-Saratoga Speedways. Jordan solidified the 7 race Canadian Series Championship by finishing in the top 10 for all of the races and winning 3 of them.
Dylan Swiernik had a banner year. He bettered his stats by finishing 2nd in points by earning 15 top 5s, 20 top 10s, 8 heat wins and 4 wins at Fulton, Can-Am, Utica-Rome and Autodrome Drummond Speedways. Dylan received the A-Verdi Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars, 91, throughout the season. The Rifenburg Contracting Fast Time Series went to Dylan for posting the fastest timed hot laps at 11 races. He was presented with the perpetual Speedweek championship belt for being the Pitre Painting CNY Speedweek Champion due to his 3 wins out of the grueling 5 race speedweek. His stats and numerous awards earned Dylan the Most Improved Driver.
Several special awards were handed out. ESS recognized the 13 different winners out of the 24 races, with 3 drivers earning their 1st victory. The Walt Throne Best Appearing Car was voted on by the fans. After over 1,000 votes the sharp looking green #7C of Dylan Swiernik’s team took home the honor. The peer-voted Mechanic of the Year award went to Cody Buhler, crew chief on the Swiernik race team. Dalton Rombough attained the Cobra Coaches Dash Series Championship by 1 point over Joe Trenca. He was presented with snake-skin cowboy boots by Cobra Coaches owner Chuck Hebing and Joe Trenca received baby pink snake-skin cowboy boots for his soon to be born daughter. The Lane’s Yamaha Rookie of the Year was Tyler Reynolds who moved from Sportsman to 360 sprints this year. Due to engine issues, he only competed in 14 races and scored his best finish of 14th at Autodrome Granby. The Outstanding Newcomer was Quebecois Alex Therrien who finished 8th in the points standings and earned his 1st feature win in front of a packed house of family and friends at Autodrome Granby. The “ironmen” drivers of Poirier, Swiernik, Franek and Barney, who competed in the entire tour, were applauded for their commitment and dedication.
ESS Technical Director Fred Shaughnessy was honored with the John Zentner Award. Fred displays the qualities of John Zentner: commitment, hard work, passion for the sport and a true friend to all in the pits. His attention to detail, work ethic, and willingness to step in wherever and whenever necessary is second to none. Congratulations to Fred who represents ESS in the best possible way.
Chuck “the Cobra” Hebing was inducted into the ESS Hall of Fame for his outstanding performance in sprint car racing. The Cobra has the most wins in ESS CNY Speedweek history with 6 and won back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012. This year Chuck came out of retirement to run 5 races and scored his 40th and final career win which moved him to 3rd place on the ESS All Time Win list. His total 360 sprint wins were 101 with multiple car owners across various sanctions at 33 different tracks. Congratulations to Chuck for his contributions as an ESS champion, competitor, sponsor and board of director.

After Ventura Win, Jeff Dyer Heads North to Placerville for the BCRA Hangtown 100
Yucca Valley, CA — November 11, 2025 — Fresh off his latest triumph of the season at Ventura Raceway, California Highway Patrol officer and racer Jeff Dyer is heading north this weekend to tackle the annual Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway. Weather permitting, the action is set for Friday and Saturday night at the famed red-clay quarter-mile.
thumbnail (1)jj.jpg Five winner stickers from American Racer tell of Jeff Dyer's succesful season. DMS Photo.
Dyer’s Ventura victory was his third California Lightning Sprint (CLS) win of 2025—two of those coming at Ventura and one at Bakersfield—placing him second overall in CLS wins this season. Add in his two SoCal Lightning Sprint Series victories at Barona, and Dyer stands as Southern California’s winningest Lightning Sprint driver of 2025.
At Ventura last month, Dyer qualified second fastest and finished third in his heat, one spot behind teammate Drake Cardey. Starting from the pole in the main, Dyer dominated every lap around the beachside oval.
“We had a pretty good car,” Dyer said after collecting his second Ventura win of the year. “The track was a little narrow, but you could move around. I’ve had a bad back all week and almost didn’t come—but I’m glad I did. I made a few mistakes, but Bobby wasn’t close enough to capitalize. It got interesting in lapped traffic, but we got through it and got the win.”
Cardey, who qualified fourth and finished third in the main, enters the Bakersfield finale just 52 points out of first place. He also sits on the verge of clinching “Rookie of the Year” honors, needing only to take the green flag in a heat race to secure the title.
This weekend’s appearance will mark Dyer’s first return to Placerville since August 2022, when he finished 17th. His best performance at the historic track came in 2021, when he placed fifth on Night #1 of the Hangtown 100.
The weekend’s races will be Dyer’s 31st and 32nd starts of 2025, with just one event remaining after this weekend—the CLS season finale on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway on November 25th.
If Friday’s event is rained out, ticket refunds will be issued. Please note that tickets are reserved and cannot be transferred to Saturday’s show.
Fans and teams are encouraged to follow official social media channels for the latest updates and weather-related announcements.
Two-night ticket packages and single night tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr111425
or by purchasing at the gate on race day. Plenty of pit passes will also be available to take advantage of the extra seating in the pit area.
Cardey’s California Lightning Sprint Car is sponsored by Eibach Springs, Cardey Construction, Inland Rigging, Jake Swanson Shock Technology, Last Lap Insider, and Dylan Godeniz Motorsports.
In 2025, the following marketing partners will help keep Dyer on track. Straight Time Stirrups, Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.
Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2025 season.

Ayrton Gennetten Gains Third Straight Championship in
POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League
Belleville, IL (11/12/25) In a season that combined steady results with decisive victories, Versailles, Missouri’s Ayrton Gennetten completed an exceptional campaign to capture his third consecutive POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League championship.
The 2025 tour featured 25 events across the Midwest, and Gennetten was a fixture at the front from the outset. The familiar No. 3 machine visited Victory Lane three times, including triumphs at Terre Haute Action Track and Tri-City Speedway, before sealing the crown with a commanding late-season performance at Lee County Speedway in September. Along the way, he posted top-ten finishes in every start and placed inside the top five in half of them—an unmatched mark of consistency.
“A third consecutive championship shows the heart of this team,” Gennetten said. “From pre-season prep to the final weekend, we stayed consistent, made the right moves, and kept our focus. This group earned every bit of it.”
Behind the champion, Joe B. Miller kept the pressure on throughout the season, earning four feature victories to finish runner-up in the standings. Xavier Doney, a two-time winner, completed the podium positions, while Scotty Milan and Gage Montgomery rounded out the top five. Rising prospect John Barnard was recognized as Rookie of the Year following his first full-time campaign.
Having already secured titles in 2023, 2024, and now 2025, Gennetten enters the 2026 campaign as the driver everyone will chase. Off-season preparation is already underway as POWRi officials continue efforts to expand scheduling opportunities, enhance competitor programs, and deliver even more marquee events for racers and fans alike.
POWRi Racing congratulates Ayrton Gennetten and the entire team on their outstanding season and thanks all participating drivers, crews, partners, and venues for contributing to another successful year of 410-wing sprint competition.

Mintz Motorsports Signs Emerging Driver Graham Huffman
for 20-Race Schedule in 2026
Gibsonburg, Ohio — Mintz Motorsports is proud to announce that Graham
Huffman, one of the Midwest’s promising young racers, will join the team for
a 20-race schedule in 2026. Huffman will compete at select events sanctioned
by the Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) and the Attica-Fremont Championship
Series (AFCS) in Ohio.
At just 15, Huffman has already built an impressive foundation in grassroots
racing. As a standout in the NASCAR Youth Quarter Midget Series, he earned
an astonishing 45 wins in a single season, multiple championships, and the
coveted Battle at the Brickyard victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He
went on to capture a winged micro sprint track title in 2025, earned
recognition as a Mazda Spec MX-5 Shootout finalist, and a karting world
finals invitee where he’ll compete later this year - underscoring his
versatility and steady rise through multiple disciplines.
The 2026 season marks Huffman’s first full campaign in a winged sprint car -
a significant next step in his young career. The program also welcomes Mike
and Steven Linder, two respected figures in Ohio sprint car racing, who will
oversee team operations and driver development. The partnership represents a
strategic step forward as the team continues to develop young talent and
strengthen its presence in the competitive Ohio sprint car scene.
“I’ve watched winged sprint cars since I was little. Those drivers are
heroes to me,” said Graham Huffman. “To now have the chance to climb into
one and race at some of the greatest tracks in the country is incredible. I
know there’s a lot to learn, and I couldn’t ask for better people to guide
me than Mike and Steven Linder. Their experience and approach to developing
drivers are second to none, and to do it under Craig Mintz’s first-class
operation makes this an incredible opportunity. I’m ready to put in the work
and make the most of it with the Mintz Motorsports team.”
“We’re excited to have Graham join our program,” said team owner Craig Mintz.
“He’s focused, mature beyond his years, and willing to do what it takes to
grow. Running regularly at some of the toughest weekly tracks in the country
will give him valuable experience, and we’re looking forward to being part
of his development.”
Mintz Motorsports will continue to field additional entries throughout the
2026 season and is currently seeking drivers to fill remaining schedule
slots that don't conflict with Huffman’s commitments.

KODY SWANSON WINS BACK-TO-BACK BITNILE OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWNS
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 8, 2025) – Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, California used high side magic to take his second consecutive $50,000 jackpot, winning Saturday’s 100-lap feature at the BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown presented by askROI. The victory in the Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts Winged Sprint Cars came at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the third annual event.
British Columbia’s Jeff Montgomery led the 26-car field to green alongside fast-time qualifier Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. Idaho’s Mike Murgoitio used lapped traffic to dive underneath both Swanson and two-time event runner-up Bobby Santos to move into second. Santos then bounced off of Swanson in the third turn to spark a chain reaction of spins for a caution flag on lap 36.
Swanson roared around the high side of Murgoitio to retake second, then tracked down Montgomery. Montgomery led Swanson by less than a car length into the lap 50 halfway break with Murgoitio in third.
The high side continued to benefit Swanson on a restart. He raced to the outside of Montgomery and the duo staged a thrilling duel. Swanson eventually seized the lead on lap 63 and never relinquished it. Murgoitio drove to second followed by a hard-charging Santos who advanced back to third. 2023 winner Aaron Willison and Washington’s Evan Margeson rounded out the top-five.
“I knew there’s a lot of good cars here. Mike was real good and so was Bobby. I know we’re all racing hard there real early so I hate how that went (with Bobby). Appreciate racing with so many great people and the opportunity to drive this 50m for Dick Meyers and everybody on this RAM Engineering team. Man what a special group to be a part of.”
“This is a special event and I know a lot of people work hard to do it and I’m so grateful Davey (Hamilton, Jr.) got the ball rolling for us.”
Indiana’s Kevin Newton led just the final two laps to take the inaugural Larry Trigueiro Memorial for Super Modifieds, driving Warren Buddell’s famed Pink Lady No. 98 to the coveted win. Colorado’s Kyle Ray dominated all practice sessions and time trials during the Firstline Systems-sponsored event. Ray drove into the lead on lap nine of the feature, but tangled with a lapped car on lap 12. Ray was sent spinning into the turn two wall and eliminated from the event. He was uninjured.
The incident thrust Colorado’s Rich Castor into the lead with Newton in pursuit. Newton dove underneath Castor on the backstretch for the decisive pass to lead lap 29. Newton scored the $5,000 win. Castor settled for second followed by Canadian Jimmy White, Washington’s Randy Anderson, and Davey Hamilton, Sr.
Kyle Tellstrom of Ukiah, California won his inaugural appearance in the BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown, earning the $7,500 prize in the Klotz Synthetics Modifieds. The 75-lap feature saw Tellstrom maintaining a slight lead over Arizona’s Dylan Cappello. Cappello finished second while Jaron Giannini represented home turf in third. Northern California driver Cameron Austin and Colorado’s Nathan Gasser were the balance of the top-five. Defending winner Aaron McMorran recovered from an early incident to finish eighth.
INEX Legends and Bandoleros debuted at the Open Wheel Showdown with two action packed main events. 2025 INEX Legends Nationals Young Lions feature winner Ben Morabito from New York State held off a three-wide challenge to take the 30-lap feature win. The victory in the Windshield Defense Legends paid $1,500. 2025 Pro Nationals feature winner Brenden Ruzbarsky and fellow California Jeremy Doss gave Morabito all he could handle on the final restart. Mike Alcaro of Fredon, New Jersey finished fourth. NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch outperformed his son Brexton in the feature by finishing fifth.
A green-white-checkered finish led to a thrilling victory in the INEX Bandoleros main event. Idaho’s Jhett Phipps knifed underneath Las Vegas’ Caitlin Ford to take the lead in turn four and eventually the coveted victory. Utah’s Cru Bowen, Las Vegas’ Malcom Mancias, and Jaxon Muhler of Brighton, Colorado rounded out the top-five.
Hangtown 100 caps Placerville Speedway season Friday & Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and BCRA Lightning Sprints are primed to take on Placerville Speedway this Friday and Saturday for the annual running of the Hangtown 100.
Placerville Speedway is aware of the current forecast but is fully pushing forward with the event. If Friday happens to rain out, refunds will be initiated to ticket holders. With seating being reserved, however, tickets will not roll over into Saturday (if you only had a Friday ticket).
Race fans and teams are encouraged to monitor our social media channels for any updates regarding the show.
Two-night ticket packages and single night tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr111425 or by purchasing at the gate on race day. Plenty of pit passes will also be available to take advantage of the extra seating in the pit area.
The event puts a wrap on the 60th anniversary season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds based venue.
“The Hangtown 100 has become a marquee event to close out the season at Placerville Speedway,” commented track Promoter Scott Russell. “The USAC National Midgets have put on some breathtaking shows here the last several years and we expect more of the same this weekend. Hopefully the fans will come out and support two great nights of racing this Friday and Saturday.”
Prior to a rainout last year, Elk Grove’s Kyle Larson claimed his second Hangtown 100 title in 2023, while winning the feature each night. Larson, the now two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, also scooped up the inaugural running of the event in 2019.
As previously stated, Larson won’t just be co-promoter of the Hangtown 100, he will also be competing in the race once again, searching for a third career win at the event.
The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets are set for a busy California swing that gets underway at Placerville Speedway on Friday.

California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the championship standings.
A mix of California favorites, who have gone on to the national stage looking to bring home the top prize will include:
-World of Outlaws runner up and 2022 Hangtown 100 winner Buddy Kofoid. -Former Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial winner and now three-time Gold Cup victor Corey Day. -2021 Hangtown 100 champion and USAC Triple Crown winner Logan Seavey. -Lemoore’s Carson Macedo, who locked up third in WOO points with 12 triumphs this year.
Placerville Speedway hosted a pair of Avanti Windows & Doors USAC Western States Midget events this year, with wins going to Fremont’s Shane Golobic and Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick respectively. Stockton’s Caden Sarale earned the season long championship.
As is tradition, Saturday night’s main event will feature a 100-lap conclusion for the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets.
Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints will complement the event each night. The division has provided entertaining racing during the Hangtown 100 over the last few years. Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt brought home the big win during the 2023 finale.
Livermore’s Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories this season.

Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway track champion, will roll into BAPS Motor Speedway fresh off of a major win at Bridgeport Motorsports Park where the New Jersey native scored a second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph for $12,000. As hinted, Whittall’s 2025 American campaign was intended to be complete following said victory, but plans changed, and for the better.
“We didn’t have BAPS on our schedule until Curt [Michael] called…I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Whittall, who will begin his Australia campaign on December 6, said. “Curt is a knowledgeable guy and I’m excited to see what we can do. Hoping the weather cooperates. It should be a great event, and a great way to end the year officially before healing Down Under.”
As noted in prior press, Whittall is set to rejoin RBH Racing, RBH Group and Turret Engineering for an Australian campaign beginning December 6 at Perth Motorplex. In total, Whittall is scheduled to enter just over 20 events in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which headlined with High Limit Racing International just after Christmas.
ON DECK: Justin Whittall and Heffner South Racing will enter BAPS Motor Speedway’s finale on Saturday, November 15. Whittall will then switch gears and focus on his upcoming Australia campaign, which is set to begin December 6 at Perth Motorplex.

CHAPTER COMPLETE: DLR concludes POWRi campaign with back-to-back
top-tens; Down Under trip and Chili Bowl ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 10, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (November 10, 2025) – The 2025 POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League campaign is officially complete, and for Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR), and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, it’s another chapter in the team’s history book, concluding their efforts with the Deuces Wild Championship Weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on Friday and Saturday, November 7-8.
When the dust finally settled in the Lone Star State, DLR found themselves with back-to-back A-Main starts and back-to-back top-tens, each of which accomplished by Xavier Doney. Doney raced on to finish eighth and sixth, respectively, the products of forward progress. In fact, Doney advanced a total of nine feature positions over the weekend, seven on Friday with the aforementioned eighth-place finish coming from row eight. Xavier Doney concluded the 2025 POWRi championship in the third position, padded by a pair of victories and 19 top-tens in 24 A-Main appearances.
Although Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and teammate, was unable to qualify for main event competition in her two-day visit to Texas Motor Speedway, her efforts were sound and respectable, eventually concluding the year 12th in POWRi’s overall championship with one top-ten to her credit.
As noted before, Xavier Doney is pleased to announce that, not only will be he entering the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals with three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Sammy Swindell, as a teammate, but in addition, the recently turned 20-year-old is heading Down Under, set to make an appearance at the Perth Motorplex in High Limit Racing’s international program on December 28-30. The richest event in Australia history will award $110,000-to-win.

CLEAN SWEEPING: Aaron Reutzel and RSR perfect in POWRi
finale at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 10, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (November 10, 2025) – “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) made it look easy in their weekend road trip to the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, not only sweeping the two-day Deuces Wild Championship finale featuring the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League, but racing on to lead every feature circuit. In fact, Reutzel, who recently concluded the High Limit Racing championship with a second-place finish in the team race, was relatively uncontested, an example being Friday’s four-second triumph in a non-stop 25-lapper.
Reutzel’s POWRi victories propelled his season tally to 14, four of which occurring in POWRi competition. The Clute, Texas, native now owns ten career POWRi wins with his recent pair at Texas Motor Speedway accompanied by a $12,000 total winner’s share.
As an impressive side note, technically Reutzel swept the POWRi doubleheader in one day, as Friday’s main event was not completed until after midnight.
“A great way to end the season. It was an up and down year, for sure, and for obvious reasons, but this team never gave up and I’m more than proud of their efforts,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, and Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “A great effort by Aaron [Reutzel] all weekend. We’ll head back to the shop and begin preparations for next season. It will be here before we know it.”
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel will resume competition in 2026.

Andy Forsberg Caps 2025 With Win at Paul Hawes Tribute
PETERSEN MEDIA: Mother Nature postponed the original date for the Paul Hawes Tribute in Marysville, CA, but with incredible Fall weather cast over the area on Saturday night, the show was able to run in its entirety and when the dust settled int was Andy Forsberg closing his year out with his 11th feature event win.
“Everyone always gives me a hard time for going to Marysville, but some of these races do mean a lot of to me,” Andy Forsberg said. “The Toller, the Hall, and the Hawes races are special because I raced with all of those families so I am extremely thankful the track was able to get this one in.”
With 18 cars checked in on Saturday night, Forsberg laid down a great lap in qualifying time trials as he laid down a great lap and earned quick time qualifier honors.
Lining up fourth in his heat race, Forsberg searched around the extremely fast Marysville Raceway surface. With the bottom still very greasy, Forsberg explored the high side of the speedway but it too was greasy and he flirted with disaster at both ends of the track.
Able to get his mount back into the middle groove, Forsberg picked up a fourth place finish in his heat race, which put the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed in the nightly redraw.
Pulling the two, Forsberg lined up on the front row of the 25-lap feature event alongside Brad Bumgarner.
When the race came to life, Forsberg was shot out of a cannon as he quickly pulled away from the leaders and worked his way towards the rear of the field.
With the surface still very fast, Forsberg still managed to get towards traffic, though he was able to slow his pace a touch to avoid navigating slower cars on the hooked up surface, but it did allow Bumgarner to reel him in.
Amidst a near non-stop run, the caution flag did fly on the 18th circuit and give Forsberg clear traffic for the final six lap.
Able to keep Bumgarner at bay, Forsberg powered to is 11th win of the season as he brought his year to an end.
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 49, Wins-11, Top 5’s-25, Top 10’s-31
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team have concluded their 2025 season.

Kaleb Johnson Produces Four Feature Triumphs During Solid Season
Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 10, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson enjoyed a strong year that featured four feature victories and a runner-up result in the Huset’s Speedway championship standings.
“I would say overall it went pretty well,” the Team DGRD driver said. “I felt we were strong for most of the year. We showed speed, but have to improve on certain areas. A lot of it is qualifying. We qualified good at Huset’s, but on the bigger stages, that’s where we struggled and that seems to dictate how your night goes. If we can improve on that it will give us a better shot at racing up front in the national shows.”
Johnson kicked off the season at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., by winning the season opener. It marked his first career 410ci winged sprint car triumph. He followed that up by capturing the second and third races of the season at the high-banked oval, becoming the first driver since 2008 to win the first three points races of the year at Huset’s Speedway.
“Our month of May was our best of the season,” he said. “All things were clicking and we were working really good as a team. Everything we did just went right. We had some good results on the track. At Huset’s, I felt any time the track slicked off we had a shot to win and we proved that. It was a good stretch.”
Johnson recorded his final victory of the season in September at Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill., where he earned his first-ever Midwest Open Wheel Association triumph.
“Spoon River was a good night, too,” he said. “We unloaded with speed and managed to get it done in the feature. We had a car I could put anywhere on the track. It was cool to shake off some bad luck that we had for awhile and turn it around with a win.”
After leading the Huset’s Speedway points standings for most of the season, Johnson placed second in the final standings by only five points.
“That one stings, especially when you don’t finish outside the top 10 in points races at the track all year,” he said. “It came down to qualifying the very last night. At the end of the day we lost to one of the hottest drivers in the country. Second is something to still be proud of.”
Also of note, Johnson earned his first career top-10 finish in Central Pennsylvania, he garnered his third career top 10 with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and he finished in the top 10 in the Knoxville Raceway (in Knoxville, Iowa) championship standings despite not competing there full time.
“I want to thank Dennis and Betty Gainey, our crew and the great sponsors for the opportunity and for the support,” Johnson said. “We had some great moments and some moments to build on this year.”

Dover Scores Two Seventh-Place Finishes During POWRi Event in Texas
Inside Line Promotions – FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 10, 2025) – Jack Dover produced a pair of seventh-place results last weekend at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway during a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League doubleheader.
“Overall, I’d say I was eight out of a 10 pleased with it,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “I made some errors and we could have made the car a little better. Realistically, we should have been a top-five car both nights. Considering I’d never been there before and having almost 40 cars there, it was pretty respectable.”
Dover qualified 17th quickest to open Friday’s racing program. A seventh-place result in a heat race was followed by a charge from fifth to second place in the B Main. That transferred Dover into the back of the main event. He hustled from 18th to seventh place to garner the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
“Qualifying and the heat race didn’t go very well so that put us in the B Main,” he said. “We made it through that by gaining some spots and then the car was really good in the A Main. It was probably one of the better races I’ve had all year. I was able to maneuver wherever. Top, bottom, middle, it didn’t matter. We got really strong the last 10 laps.”
Saturday showed improvement as Dover timed in 13th quickest in qualifying. A heat race win locked him directly into the main event. He picked up a pair of positions to place seventh in the event finale.
“We got a little better in qualifying and won our heat race,” he said. “We started further forward in the feature and was able to advance a couple of spots. Almost every time we hit the track all weekend we moved ahead so it was a good weekend.”
Next up, Dover will make his debut at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M., this Friday and Saturday.
QUICK RESULTS –
Nov. 7 – The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas – Qualifying: 17; Heat race: 7 (5); B Main: 2 (5); Feature: 7 (18).

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Capture World of Outlaws Championship After Strong Showing at World of Outlaws World Finals
Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 10, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports capped a second straight championship season with a winning performance during the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte last weekend.
David Gravel placed second on Thursday and was victorious on Friday before the event ended with a DNF on Saturday. The overall performance was strong enough for the team to garner the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship for the second year in a row.
“It was an awesome season,” he said. “It started off strong. We were just so consistent this year. Sprint car racing is just so tough. I’m so proud of what we were able to do this year, the full body of work from beginning to end. I think all of us at Big Game Motorsports feel that way.”
Gravel timed in second quickest in his group, won a heat race and placed second in both the dash and feature on Thursday – ending less than a second behind the leader after running second for all 25 laps.
On Friday, Gravel, who had set quick time in his group, won a heat race and finished sixth in the dash to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event.
“I felt like the bottom of (turns) one and two wasn’t very good, but in (turns) three and four I felt pretty good,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I wasn’t having good exit speed, but was really gaining to the center. I just kept working it. I changed my entry a lot of times there in (turns) three and four at the end. The more I got in the brown, the better, and more I gained on (Rico Abreu). He definitely started hanging for sure. He was struggling there in (turns) one and two. I got faster than him in the cushion, and he was definitely hanging on. It’s good to get a win.”
Gravel worked his way into the runner-up position by Lap 15 before pouncing in the waning laps, leading the final two circuits to give him a triumph during seven of the last nine years at the track.
Gravel was the high-points driver entering the season finale on Saturday. A heat race win and dash victory gave him the pole position for the main event. He led the first 14 laps before contact with the wall resulted in an early exit with a 25th-place result.
“What a season,” he said. “I’m just really proud of my guys. I feel really bad for them tonight with what happened, but it doesn’t put a black eye on your whole season. It’s been such a good year. I just can’t believe how consistent we were all season. These guys produced every night, and I can’t thank them enough.”

Turkey Night Grand Prix Next for Brent and Grant Sexton
Lakeside, CA — November 5, 2025 — Southern California sprint car veterans Brent and Grant Sexton will return to action on Thanksgiving weekend for one of the sport’s crown jewels—the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor’s Ventura Raceway. The historic holiday classic will mark the father-and-son duo’s first sprint car outing since tackling the Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway in late October.
The debut trip to the Arizona oval for Sexton Gatlin Racing was anything but easy. Grant battled a stubborn fuel system that refused to cooperate, leaving patriarch Brent to carry the team’s banner. A three-time California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, Brent’s night was cut short in his heat race by a faulty mag box on Friday, sidelining the bright #44 early.
Returning Saturday, determined to turn things around, Brent’s luck refused to change. A broken rear brake mount in his qualifier left him with only front brakes for the C-Main, but the veteran’s steady hands kept him out of trouble long enough to transfer into the B-Main. Unfortunately, a sheared U-joint ended the night and the team’s Arizona adventure prematurely.
While the weekend proved frustrating for the Sextons, Sexton Gatlin Racing’s rising rookie, Braydin Collie, gave the team something to smile about at the Ventura Raceway. The talented teen turned in the eighth-fastest qualifying time, won his heat race, and finished seventh in the 25-lap main event. Heading into the California Lightning Sprint Car Series finale at Bakersfield on November 25th, the El Cajon racer sits sixth in Motor City Buick/GMC championship points—just one point out of fifth—and second in Rookie of the Year standings. Though it is unlikely without a lot of good fortune, Collie remains mathematically alive in the Rookie of the Year chase. Before that finale in Bakersfield, he’ll trade dirt for desert when he competes in Mexico’s legendary Baja 1000 in a trophy truck next week.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2025 season.
Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

BOBBY SANTOS LEADS THURSDAY PRACTICE FOR OPEN WHEEL
SHOWDOWN
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 16, 2025) – Two-time BITNILE Open
Wheel Showdown runner-up Bobby Santos kicked off his drive for Saturday’s
$50,000 payday by leading Thursday’s practice action at the Bullring at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway. Santos roared around the .375-mile speedway in the
Elliott’s Custom Trailer & Carts Winged Sprints action at 12.054 seconds,
averaging 111.99 miles per hour.
Opening practice was led by Kingsburg, Calif.’s Kody
Swanson, the defending winner. 2023 winner Aaron Willison of British
Columbia, Canada paced the second session.
“It’s tough. I mean a lot of great race cars here. Davey and
his crew have put on an unbelievable event. As far as I’m concerned it is
the biggest race of the year. Just been working hard to have a good car to
get here. Practice went well today. The next two days are more important
than today,” Santos said. “Tomorrow’s all about going fast for a couple laps
and putting ourselves in position to start up front. Then we will put this
thing into race mode Saturday morning.”
The opening session saw wild swings of pace, with JoJo
Helberg of Rohnert Park initially unloading several tenths ahead before the
rest of the pack grabbed hold of the speedway. Warm 80 degree temperatures
presented a challenging surface for the winged machines. British Columbia,
Canada’s Jeff Montgomery continued his tradition of strong opening practice
day performances as well, ending the night session in fifth.
Colorado’s Kyle Ray dominated both practices for the
inaugural Larry Trigueiro Memorial for the Firstline Systems Super Modifieds.
Ukiah, California’s Kyle Tellstrom and Las Vegas’ Jaron Giannini split the
Klotz Synthetics Modifieds practices. Both sessions saw at least the
top-five cars separated by less than a tenth of a second.
Windshield Defense INEX Legends made their debut laps with
New York racer and 2025 Young Lions Nationals feature winner Ben Morbadito
leading the first session. California Legends stalwart Jeremy Doss paced the
night session. 14-year-old Liam Hammond of Denver, Colorado and Indiana’s
Chase Bohannon led the INEX Bandolero trials.
BR Motorsports Qualifying Night is on tap for Friday night.
Admission gates open at 10:45am followed by final practices for all five
divisions. Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts Winged Sprint Cars kick off
time trials at 1:40pm followed by Klotz Synthetics Modifieds and Windshield
Defense Legends in qualifying activities. Opening ceremonies are at 4:35pm
followed by a full slate of heat races, C-Mains, and the Firstline Systems
Pole Shuffle for Winged Sprints.
Tickets are available via the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
website or at the gates. Pit Passes will be sold at the gate and include
grandstand access.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Closes Out His 2025 Racing Season Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway
Chino Hills, CA — November 7, 2025 — A racing season that
began 271 days ago and 2,449 miles away in Barberville, Florida, will come
to a close this Saturday night when Eddie Tafoya Jr. caps off his campaign
just 36 miles from home in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car
Series at Perris Auto Speedway. In the span since his first race of the
year, the Chino Hills, California, driver has competed 24 times with three
different associations, at eight tracks, in three states.
Perris Auto Speedway—where his father, Eddie Tafoya Sr., also raced sprint cars—is the track the 28-year-old knows best. He first turned laps there in 2018, winning the track’s Young Gun Sprint Car Series title. One year later, he captured the prestigious USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award, with most of his early laps coming on the famed Riverside County half-mile clay oval.
Tafoya’s latest appearance on the 29-year-old track came last Saturday night in USAC/CRA competition. It was his ninth start of the season at Perris, where he qualified sixth with a blistering 16.711-second lap. That effort put him in the second 10-lap heat race, where he started fourth, charged forward, and finished third.
His qualifying time and heat race finish placed Tafoya on the outside of the front row in his sharp-looking #57T. Unfortunately, early turn-two chaos dropped him back in the pack. Had it been a Speedway Motorcycle race, a “first corner bunching” restart might have been called, putting him back up front—but this was sprint car racing, and the green stayed out.
In one of the toughest fields of the season at Perris, Tafoya regrouped and held strong inside the top 10 all night, finishing 10th at the checkered flag.
Remarkably, even without running full-time in 2025, Tafoya enters Saturday’s season finale 10th in the championship standings. In nine Perris starts this year, he’s logged eight top-10s and two top-fives, highlighted by a fourth-place finish on September 13th.
“No plans for next year yet,” Tafoya said when asked about the off-season and 2026. “Just the same off-season stuff as usual—tearing the cars down and getting them ready to go for the start of next season. It comes up fast.”
Saturday’s program at Perris will also feature a custom car show. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing beginning 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:30. It will also be Fan Appreciation night and all fans 13 and over will get in for the discounted rate of $25.00.
This Saturday, Perris

JEFF MONTGOMERY WINS FIRSTLINE SYSTEMS POLE SUFFLE AT
OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 7, 2025) – Jeff Montgomery of Cobble
Hill, British Columbia, Canada led wire-to-wire in Friday’s Firstline
Systems Pole Shuffle for Winged Sprints, earning the pole position for
Saturday’s $50,000 to win BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown in Las Vegas.
Montgomery topped an all-star cast of Elliott’s Trailers & Carts Winged
Sprint Cars in the 12-car, 10-lap event to cap BR Motorsports qualifying
night.
“It means a lot. It shows what kind of race team we have. At
the end of the day, starting on the pole doesn’t win it. You have to lead
one lap – the last lap – that’s the one that pays the money. If I can run
the 10 laps I just ran at the end of this race tomorrow night, we should
have no problem winning it. We have the best winged pavement sprint car
drivers in the world here so I have my hands full,” Montgomery said.
Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. led Winged Sprint Cars
qualifying presented by Hamada, timing in at 11.774 seconds at 114.659 miles
per hour.
Trainor, JoJo Helberg, Bobby Santos, 2023 winner Aaron
Willison, 2024 winner Kody Swanson, and Montgomery won the 12-lap Beast
Chassis heat races. Idaho’s Mike Anderson then won the Wildwood Brakes
C-Main.
The 12 drivers who transferred out of the heat races drew
for the starting lineup for the shuffle, with Montgomery drawing the pole
alongside Trainor. Montgomery and Trainor will be the front row for
Saturday’s 100-lap, $50,000-to-win contest. Santos finished the shuffle in
third, setting the stage for a powerful second row alongside Swanson.
2024 Klotz Synthetics Modifieds winner Aaron McMorran led
qualifying action before heat races went to Kyle Tellstrom, 2025 Bullring
Modified champion Kyle Jacks, and Kris Price.
Windshield Defense INEX Legends qualifying was led by New
York’s Ben Morabito. INEX Bandoleros and the Inaugural Larry Trigueiro
Memorial for Super Modifieds wrapped up practice action Friday as well. Both
divisions will time trial before racing begins on Saturday.
Admission gates open at 11am Saturday followed by final
practices. Opening Ceremonies are at 2:15pm followed by four B-Features and
five Championship Features for the 2025 BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown.
Tickets are available via the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
website or at the gates. Pit Passes will be sold at the gate and include
grandstand access.
Live coverage of the entire event is on Speed Sport 2.

Brody Roa Gears Up for His 2025 Season Finale This Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway!
Cypress, CA – November 5, 2025 — One of Southern
California’s most popular open-wheel racers, Brody Roa, will wrap up his
impressive 2025 campaign this Saturday night, November 8th, when Heimark
Distributors Anheuser Busch presents the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA
Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway. The lightning-fast half-mile clay oval
will open its spectator gates at 5:00 p.m., with racing starting earlier
than usual at 6:30.
Nineteen other cars were on hand for the most recent high-intensity 410 sprint car battle at the track, located just over an hour east of Los Angeles. Roa, 34, qualified fifth-fastest for the second consecutive race, clocking a 16.687-second lap—his quickest qualifying effort in nine Perris appearances this season.
Starting on the outside of row two in a stacked 10-car, 10-lap heat race, the friendly Garden Grove, California, racer steered his bright green #91R to a strong second-place finish, earning a spot among the first three rows for the 30-lap main event.
When the field lined up for the finale, Roa—winner of the previous race at the track two weeks earlier—started on the inside of the front row. He held third for most of the race before crossing the line fifth at the finish.
For the 2023 USAC/CRA Series Champion, it marked his 10th top-10 finish in 13 starts this year. In his last six outings, Roa hasn’t finished worse than eighth, tallying four top-fives highlighted by his October 18th victory at Perris.
Roa is currently exploring the possibility of a return to January’s Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the first time since 2022. Stay tuned for updates.

Chase Johnson Classic converges at Merced Speedway on November 22nd
By Gary Thomas
Merced, CA…One of the more anticipated events each season in California is the November appearance by the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars at Merced Speedway.
This season the show has received an extra boost with the inaugural Chase Johnson Classic presented by American Rock and Rent taking to the Merced high banks on Saturday November 22nd.
Both the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars will hand out $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start with additional prizes up for grabs during the night, which are noted at bottom of release. If anybody would like to contribute to the event, please contact chasejohnsonracing@yahoo.com
“My goal for this race is to give back to the racing community and display my appreciation for all that they have done for me,” Johnson stated. “I want to put on a fun event for the fans, teams and would like to thank everyone that has contributed to it thus far. We are still actively looking for additional sponsors and awards and would love to grow this race even more.”
The Chase Johnson Racing No. 24 team will have a show car on hand in the grandstands for kids/ adults to sit in and take photos.
The CJR operation will be in the pit area with the race hauler. The 24-car in fact, will pace the field for both the Midget and Sprint Car features. Fans are encouraged to stop by after the races to hang out. An electric guitar performance will also kick things off in grand fashion for the National Anthem.
All paid fans in the stands will receive a ticket to win a signed piece of memorabilia by all drivers racing during the night.
The Chase Johnson Classic marks the final Winged 360 Sprint Car event of the season in the Golden State.
Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno.
The muffler rule for Winged 360 Sprint Cars will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers. Weight rule will be 1500 pounds with the driver fully suited in the car.
Additional rules will fall in line with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. An SCCT style format, minus the Dash, with a 24-car starting field will be utilized.
Bixby, Oklahoma’s Cannon McIntosh, who has been gaining Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the standings.
NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson of Elk Grove swept both the USAC National Midget and Winged 360 Sprint Car finale last November at Merced Speedway.
Tickets for the Chase Johnson Classic presented by American Rock and Rent on Saturday November 22nd cost $30 for adults (ages 16 and up), while ages 5-15 cost $15. Those four and under are free.

Sprint Cars, Stock Cars, A Car Show, And Fan Appreciation Night At Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Perris, California — November 4, 2025 — Fans are in for a
blockbuster evening this Saturday night, November 8th, when Heimark
Distributors Anheuser Busch presents an unforgettable night of high-octane
entertainment at Perris Auto Speedway. The program features the Avanti
Windows USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, plus the PASSCAR Super Stocks, Street Stocks,
and American Factory Stocks battling it out in the annual Jerry Dodd
Champion’s Night. Adding even more excitement, Oval Entertainment and Suns 7
Collective will host “Speed and Style,” featuring the Cars N Coffee
Riverside Car Show. And as if that weren’t enough—it’s Fan Appreciation
Night, with adult admission just $25.00! Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and racing
kicks off 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday’s show will mark the final 2025 appearance for both USAC/CRA and PASSCAR competitors. While Laveen, Arizona’s RJ Johnson has clinched his second straight USAC/CRA championship, and Riverside’s Shaun Estes has secured his first Street Stock crown since 2012, two titles are still on the line. David Stites enters the night with a slim 15-point lead over James Keller of Oak Hills in the Factory Stock Championship, while in the Super Stocks, 2023 champ Ricky Lee of Banning holds a razor-thin two-point edge over four-time PAS titleholder Chuck Becker of Yucaipa.
“It is going to be a great night,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “The USAC/CRA finale, with no two-time series champion RJ Johnson, will be complemented by USAC National drivers Mitchell Moles, who won last week, his teammate Hayden Reinbold, and Jake Swanson. It should be a great race once again. Last Saturday, the fight for the lead was fantastic between Moles and Austin Williams. Also, a full program with all three of our stock car classes and a showdown for the super stock title between Chuck Becker and Rickie Lee.”
“We are also looking forward to the ‘Speed and Style’ with the Cars N Coffee Riverside Car Show,” Kazarian continued. “The response to the car show has been great, and we expect to see some beautiful cars on Saturday. The car show starts when the gates open, and it is included with the price of a race ticket.”
Saturday is also Fan Appreciation Night at The PAS, with ticket prices slashed to $25.00 for those ages 13 and up and seniors. Kids 6–12 are $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds parking fee is $20.00 (the parking fee is payable by card only). Advance tickets are available now at tix.com, and plenty of walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.
After Saturday, The PAS will host one final event in 2025—the Pick Your Part Night of Destruction, closing out the year on November 22nd.

Belleville, IL. (11/4/25) The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League, running in conjunction with the POWRi MYCO Plastics Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, is set to close out its thrilling 2025 season in grand fashion as the nation’s top open-wheel stars converge on the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track for the highly anticipated “Deuces Wild” weekend, Friday and Saturday, November 7–8.
Serving as one of the premier sprint car showcases in the Lone Star State, Deuces Wild will feature two full nights of high-speed competition, with drivers from across the country battling for glory on the high-banked half-mile just outside the famed Texas Motor Speedway.
Wrapping up the season with a Texas-sized two-step, series point leader Ayrton Gennetten looks to seal the deal on his third straight championship, with four-time race winner Joe B. Miller and two-time victor Xavier Doney joining him on the divisional podium. Scotty Milan and Gage Montgomery remain locked in an intense battle rounding out the top five in the standings heading into the weekend.
Adding to the intrigue heading into Deuces Wild, the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League will also see John Barnard officially clinch 2025 Rookie of the Year honors. Meanwhile, the resurgence of Rees Moran and the rapid rise of Sean Rayhall continue to draw attention, with Short Track Nationals Champion Hank Davis looking to extend his hot streak. Texas native Preston Perlmutter and rising star Natalie Doney also aim to lock down top-ten finishes in the final standings.
Running alongside the POWRi MYCO Plastics Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, two POWRi 410 Sprint divisional championships will be crowned over the November 7–8 weekend. In Elite competition, Brandon Anderson enters the weekend with a narrow 50-point advantage over Cody Garner, while Austin Mundie remains within striking distance in third. Colby Stubblefield and Carson Bolden round out the regional top five, with Dalton Stevens, John Carney II, Ryder McCutcheon, Brett Becker, and Marcus Thomas also expected to contend at TMS.
Ramping up the action, a deep roster of national and regional stars is set to invade Texas, including eight-time series winner and High Limit standout Aaron Reutzel, three-time league winner and ASCS National point leader Sam Hafertepe Jr., 2025 Knoxville Raceway Track Champion Austin McCarl, inaugural league champion Roger Crockett, and three-time POWRi National Midget League champion Zach Daum, all joining the two-day showdown.
Adding even more firepower to the Deuces Wild entry list, former POWRi National Midget League champion and High Limit High Roller Brenham Crouch returns aboard the Joey Starnes Racing entry. Ian Madsen will make the trek to Texas, joined by Oklahoma veteran Danny Jennings, Iowa’s Steve Pumphrey, Tennessee’s Howard Moore, Nebraska’s “Gasman” Jack Dover, and Texas talents Christopher Townsend and Brekton Crouch, all chasing victory in the Lone Star State.

Tanner Holmes Caps Season with Tarlton Motorsports Off
With Stockton Top- 5
PETERSEN MEDIA- Fresh off the news that Tanner Holmes was
making the move to Buch Motorsports to run a full High Limit schedule in
2026, the Jacksonville, OR driver had one finale race with Tarlton
Motorsports on the books and he had a nice final outing with the team as he
pocketed a fifth place finish.
“It was a great way to end our time together,” Tanner Holes
said. “Despite the track being tough to pass on much of the night, we had a
great speed and came away with a really solid finish.”
With 22 cars in the pit area, Holmes timed the Tarlton and
Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales backed No. 21 in sixth
fastest in time trials, and lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Settling into second on the extremely fast and tight racing
surface, Holmes held down the spot as he ripped around the tight bullring.
Finishing second, Holmes secured the eighth starting spot in
the final NARC 30-lap feature of the 2025 season.
When the race came to life, Holmes was quickly up into sixth
as a couple of early cautions slowed the early goings of the race. Once
things settled in and the race got into rhythm, Holmes was able to work into
fifth and chase after the likes of Tim Kaeding and DJ Netto who ran ahead of
him.
Though traffic helped tighten things up at the front of the
field, there wasn’t a ton of passing opportunity. Continuing to hold down
fifth, Holmes capped his 2025 season with Tarlton Motorsports off with a
fifth place finish.
“I really felt like we were as good as anyone out there in
the feature, but just didn’t quite have enough room to move around,” Holmes
said. “With our time together coming to an end, I really want to thank Tommy
Tarlton and the entire Tarlton family for the opportunity to run such an
iconic car this season. I always want to thank Drew Warner and everyone that
helped on the car all year. They made it such a fun season, and one that I
will never forget.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 26, Wins: 4, Top 5’s: 10, Top 10’s:
14

Dover Posts Career-Best Short Track Nationals Result With Top-Five Run
Inside Line Promotions – TEXARKANA, Ark. (Nov. 3, 2025) – Jack Dover produced his career-best result during the 38th annual Short Track Nationals on Saturday at Texarkana 67 Speedway.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver made his debut at the track, which hosted the event that had been held at the now-closed I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., for more than three decades. It was Dover’s first time racing in the Short Track Nationals in a decade.
“I’m very happy,” he said. “I wouldn’t say we had a car capable of winning, but we were a little better than our results showed. I think I could have done a little better job and the car probably had a little more in it for better results. Overall, it was a good weekend.”
Dover kicked off the two-day event on Friday by qualifying fifth quickest in his group. He then placed fourth in a heat race to lock into the main event.
“I thought we were decent in qualifying,” he said. “In the heat race I should have been at least a second-place car. I slid Cole Macedo twice for the lead. When I did that it killed my momentum and allowed two guys to get around me. Coming in afterwards and talking with the guys, I should have just settled for second. Then in the feature I putted around the bottom for most of the race and gained what I could.”
Dover advanced from 12th to eighth place in the main event.
A third-place result in a heat race opened Saturday’s program and sent Dover directly into the 41-lap A Main.
“In the heat race I was trying to slide for second,” he said. “I fell back to fourth and somebody fell out so that put us third as we finished where we started. In the feature it was kind of a survive game. That’s what we did. As the race went on and we lost our fuel load we got faster. On Lap 38, with three laps to go, we were the second-fastest car. But my nose wing broke with two laps to go as I was getting ready to pass for fourth. Considering we hadn’t been to that track and didn’t have any notes, it was a decent weekend.”
Dover’s fifth-place result was his top finish during a Short Track Nationals finale. It marked his 16th top-five outing of the season.
Up next is a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League doubleheader at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, this Friday and Saturday. It will be his first time competing at the track.
“I’m excited for a big track and something new,” he said. “I think we’ll have some good competition to go up against to see where we stack up.”

Oct. 31 – Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Ark. – Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 4 (2); Feature: 8 (12).

Forsberg 8th at SCCT Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to action over the weekend to take part in
both the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and NARC finales in Stockton, CA, Andy
Forsberg scored an eighth-place finish on Friday night with the SCCT before
having a DNF on Saturday night with NARC.
“It was an okay weekend for our team,” Andy Forsberg said.
“Friday night I made a bonehead mistake in qualifying and pulled off on my
second lap thinking I made two laps already, and Saturday night we just
struggled all night in the 410ci.”
Checking in for the SCCT finale on Friday night with 26 cars
in the pit area, Forsberg opened the weekend up by timing the PHR/Meridian
Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in 21st fastest with only the one lap
taken.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, Forsberg was able to dig
out of the hole he put himself in as he raced to a third-place finish in his
heat race and improved his starting position in the feature emphatically.
Rolling off of the starting grid from 12th, Forsberg was
able to avoid some of the chaos that took place early in the feature event
that ultimately forced the officials to call for an ‘open red’ at the
halfway point of the feature.
Working his way up into sixth after the crews cleared the
track, Forsberg looked for a way inside the Top-5 as the laps wound down.
Having some trouble on the narrow exit for turn four, Forsberg ended up
losing a pair of positions in the final five laps as he slipped back to an
eighth-place finish.
Saturday night saw the team swap power plant to take part in
the NARC season finale. After getting off to a slow start in time trials,
Forsberg was able to again make up for it in his heat race as he powered his
way from seventh to fourth to again improve his feature event starting
position.
Ripping around the Stockton Dirt Track bullring, a mid race
restart didn’t got Forsberg’s way and it saw him get up over the racing
surface and lose quite a few positions.
Making the decision to gather it up slowly, Forsberg then
pulled his machine back to the pit area and brough his night to a close.
“We just seem to be a little off with our 410ci and our
car,” Forsberg said. “We just weren’t great on Saturday.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian
Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western
Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness,
Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co.,
and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 48, Wins-10, Top 5’s-24, Top 10’s-30
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team set to return to
action this weekend at Marysville Raceway for the Spooktacular make up race.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Enter World of Outlaws
World Finals on Brink of Second Championship
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Nov. 3, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports is only a handful of nights away from capturing its second straight World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship.
David Gravel holds a 138-point lead in the championship standings entering the World of Outlaws World Finals, which runs this Wednesday through Saturday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C.
“It’s been a great season,” he said. “We had a couple of bumps along the way, but as far as our on-track performance, it’s been pretty flawless. You can’t ask for much more than to have the speed we did night in and night out.
“You just take it one weekend at a time. We had amazing qualifying speed this year. We were consistently on the front row of heat races and we capitalized. We got into a lot of dashes this year. I felt whenever we had to dig ourselves out of a hole we were able to, but 90 percent of the time we put ourselves in position.”
The team will look to do that one final weekend at a track where Gravel has seven career World of Outlaws wins. In fact, he’s been victorious during six of the last eight years at the World of Outlaws World Finals.
“Charlotte has been a really good track for us so we’re hoping to close off the season with at last a win or two,” he said. “I always have good vibes at Charlotte. We have a lot of family members and friends who come. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. You know at the end of the weekend you’re done for the year. We’re excited with the speed we’ve had and eager to get some races in at Charlotte.”
Given Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the event is 138 points, the team simply needs to finish 23rd or better in each of the three main events to secure the championship even if the driver second in the standings wins all three races.

Kaleb Johnson Excited for Return to World of Outlaws
World Finals
Inside Line Promotions – SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Nov. 3, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson is bound for North Carolina this week to tackle the World of Outlaws World Finals for the second year in a row.
The Team DGRD driver invades The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord Wednesday through Saturday for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season finale.
“It’s something I’m looking forward to,” Johnson said. “It’s a cool event and the race track kind of suits my style. It’s big and fast and wide and gets slick. Hopefully we can improve on our results from last year.”
Johnson made his debut at the track during the World of Outlaws World Finals last year. His best result was the final night when he advanced from 14th to ninth place in the Last Chance Showdown to miss making the main event by only five positions.
“The way the race track races it gets slick fast and the lines change throughout the race,” he said. “I’d say that’s the most important part. I feel like we have our program headed in the right direction. I definitely feel more confident this year than last year. I think if I can manage to make two or all three features I’d be a happy camper.”
The World of Outlaws World Finals is the penultimate event of the season for Johnson, who has spent the last month and a half on the road racing against some of the best drivers in the business and venturing to tracks for the first or second time.
“I can see where it’d be tough to continually get your butt kicked, but I look at the grand scheme of things and sometimes you have to get your butt kicked to get better,” he said. “I take it as a learning step and motivation to try to get better. Hopefully we can take another step forward this week at the World Finals.”

FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN PROMOTER HAMILTON JR.
November 2, 2025 – Las Vegas, Nevada - We are just days away
from the kick-off of the 2025 Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by
askROI at the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. For event promoter
Davey Hamilto Jr., it’s been a lot of long days and many hours spent at the
track since mid-September.
Hamilton Jr. is a perfectionist, and the organization of the event reflects
himself. Every aspect of the event must be done right with no exceptions. He
oversees virtually every aspect of the November 6-8, 2025, event year-round.
But Hamilton Jr. will be the first to admit this has been a very unusual
year regarding the Open Wheel Showdown.
“It’s not necessary for me to be here that early” explains Hamilton Jr. “But
I want everything to be so perfect and continue to grow like it has been. I
go to the racetrack every single day to see what they’re doing, learn, and
meet new people. I am taking notes to see what needs to be done before our
event.
“There’s so much that goes into this one race. Even yesterday I spent two
hours printing probably 2000 different papers and documents that are for the
teams to have. We have contingency decals. So, we had to put together 250
different bags with twenty or so different companies’ stickers in them. It
sounds easy but it takes hours, if not a whole day. And there are so many
banners that need to be hung. I have been doing everything myself. My help
won’t start arriving until Sunday. There is a lot to it, but I take pride in
this event, and I want everything to be perfect with it.
“This has been a weird year. I’ve been dealing with some personal things
that’s made it tough. We have had a lot of people back out as far as helpers
go. Our entire hospitality truck, everybody backed out. The chefs, helpers,
drivers, everybody. Thanks to the Bitnile group they plugged in people to
get it out here.
“The guy who handles my media is dealing with some personal stuff as well.
It’s just been a weird year where there have been problems with people.
We’re still going to make the most of it and see how it goes. It would have
been nice coming into this year with no hiccups.
As the creator of the event, Hamilton Jr. is also a competitor in the winged
sprint car portion of the race. Perhaps nobody wants to win this race more
than Hamilton Jr. himself. He has made no secrets of wanting an Open Wheel
Showdown trophy on his trophy mantle. He finished third in the inaugural
2023 running. But his dreams of an OWS victory might have to be shelved in
2025.
Hamilton Jr. was involved in a very serious accident in a Must See Racing
event at Pensacola, Florida on October 3, 2025. A parts failure sent him
hard into the outside retaining wall. He received a neck injury that forced
him to withdraw from a scheduled INDY NXT test and hasn’t been in a race car
since that crash a month ago. It’s unclear if he will participate in this
year’s race.
“To be honest, there is a concern with me even racing this year. It may not
even happen. Nobody’s gonna know until Thursday, including myself, if I’m
even able to run the event. Regardless, I’m gonna be there as a promotor.
Hopefully I’ll be there as a driver too. If I can’t go as a driver, it’s
gonna be a tough weekend for me. I put my entire life into this event 365
days of the year. I’m gonna get in the car Thursday and make some laps and
see where we’re at.”
When Hamilton Jr. announced the inaugural Open Wheel Showdown in July of
2023, it sent shockwaves through the sport. Never had a pavement sprint car
paid $50,000 to win from a combined purse of over $150,000
That inaugural OWS helped fuel the fire for bigger paying pavement sprint
car races annually. Winged pavement sprint car races paying $10,000 or more
to win are becoming the regular, Hamilton Jr. showed it was possible, and
teams deserved a few bigger paying races throughout the calendar year.
In late September Floridian and current car owner Dick Fieler announced his
intentions to contest four high-paying winged pavement sprint car races in
2026, at four different tracks around the country, with a total purse of
$600,000 using his personal monies. The new "Race for the Million" series
will also include a substantial point fund at the end of the year, announced
at $300,000 for the four races.
Hamilton Jr. has mixed emotions on the new series due to how he feels the
group attempted to ride the coattails of his hard work and blueprint for the
OWS success the past three years.
“I did my event with the sole purpose of giving the pavement guys, who spend
an incredible amount of money and race for so little, a chance to race for
good money. I wanted to show promoters we can race for good money and put on
a good show. I accomplished that.
“I’m excited about this "Race for the Million" series. The only thing I
disagree with is they tried to negotiate a deal to overtake my event at the
exact same location. That would kill me. It’s great and I’m gonna be a
driver in that deal.
“I’ve put all my effort, energy, life, sweat, blood, everything into this
event. To even hear or see that there were conversations of overtaking my
event around the same time frame. I probably would have walked away and
never tried it again. I feel like I’ve taken pride and shown everybody what
it's like to race in a professional atmosphere.
“They tried to negotiate with LVMS to put on an event right before OWS. That
would’ve killed OWS. Not every team has huge funding. Most couldn’t do two
events in Las Vegas within a couple weeks timeframe. I’m so excited its
happening with our sport, but I’m disappointed they even tried to think
about doing that at LVMS.
“I’m thankful someone like Dick (Fieler) is putting up that kind of money.
Unfortunately, the guys he put in charge are Wankers and Clowns and are
using his money one hundred percent. Dick could’ve done a better job of
working with other series and tracks. It’s gonna hurt local tracks and
series. People are gonna be saving their time, energy, and money to spend
$10,000-$20,000 each time to go run these four races. Tires, fuel, hotels,
pit passe, all that stuff. It’s gonna water down your local races. Teams are
gonna basically run five races next year. The Million Dollar Series and my
deal at Las Vegas. But we’ll see.
“I had a talk today with the title sponsor. I already kind of know the
direction of the next few years with the track and multiple sponsors. I’m
not gonna release anything right now. On top of everything I have new
partners. These are people who do way bigger events than I do. They want to
be involved with the event. They’re coming out this year. It’s exciting for
me right now. As soon as Sunday hits, it’s all about next year.” concluded

OUT ON TOP: Justin Whittall concludes 2025 season with
second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 3, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (November 3, 2025) – Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports went out with a bang at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, concluding their 2025 campaign with a second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph on Saturday, November 1. Whittall, now a two-time winner in 2025, secured a $12,000 payday for his efforts, outperforming the likes of Chase Dietz, Anthony Macri, and Danny Dietrich.
As noted, Whittall is a two-time main event winner in 2025, his first occurring at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” in mid-July.
“Man, what a way to end the year. This team has worked their tails off all season and they deserved this. We’ve been looking forward to the Dirty Jersey Finale since it was announced, and to say that we won this race two years in a row in front of our family and friends is pretty special,” Whittall, driver of the RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, said. “It was a great year. We had our ups and downs, but this made it all worth it. We’ll begin preparations for next year right away.”
With his 2025 American campaign officially complete, Justin Whittall will now switch gears and begin preparations for Down Under, set to rejoin RBH Racing, RBH Group and Turret Engineering for an Australian campaign beginning December 6 at Perth Motorplex. In total, Whittall is scheduled to enter just over 20 events in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which headlined with High Limit Racing International just after Christmas.
“I’m excited to get back to Australia. Ever grateful for this opportunity. Everyone at RBH Racing does such a great job and they make the trip so enjoyable,” Whittall continued. “We’re going to do everything we can to be in the hunt every night. I know we have what it takes to be up front.”

RUMBLE MIDGET TEAMS REACT TO FORMAT CHANGE
Departure from Two Single Nights of Racing to Progressive Format Will Require Strategy
FT. WAYNE, IN (Nov. 2) – Details regarding the restructured format for this year’s Midget program of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales, set for December 19 & 20, have been released and they have triggered reactions from participating teams. Rather than two complete racing programs, with neither having a bearing on the other, this year’s chase on the 1/7-mile purpose built concrete oval inside Fort Wayne’s Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center will see a progressive format, culminating with Saturday’s Burco Molding Race to 100.
The new design has the teams guessing. Joe Liguori, who has won a 50-lap chase each of the past two years, is one of them. “The new format adds a new element to our team’s strategy,” commented the Lebanon, IN veteran. “But we will all be in the same playing field when it comes to strategizing the event, so I am sure it will be exciting for the fans to watch.”
The process begins Friday with single car qualifying runs, which will then split the field into odd/even sets. Each set will stage their own heat races and main event, with points accumulated from every position earned. Those points will then determine the starting line-ups for Saturday’s heat races to finalize the 100-lap finale. As an incentive, the top two finishers from each of Friday’s 30-lap main events will automatically transfer to Saturday’s Burco sponsored Race to 100.
Jim Anderson (Joliet, IL) who has a previous Rumble Midget win to his credit chimed in, “one of the bigger positives that struck out to me is the change promotes consistency. Over the two nights of racing, you will have to be consistent in your efforts to have good finishes to build points.”
Saturday’s headliner is a total of 100 laps, with ‘environmentally friendly’ breaks built in after 35 and 70 laps before the final 30-lap shootout to determine the winner. Mike Fedorcak (Roanoke, IN) also has a Rumble victory to his credit and also cites strategy as being important. “I’m among those that are looking forward to developing a new strategy to compete in the new format. I think it will present new opportunities for racers that normally aren’t front runners and should be exciting for the fans to watch it unfold.”
While new in structure, the Race to 100 is a throwback of sorts to the days of racing on the adjoining Coliseum hockey rink floor. The idea was conceived by Burco Molding’s Randy Burrow (Noblesville, IN) who will be entering 3 cars into the fray. “We need a change; it’s time to stir the pot and go back to 100 laps of feature racing that made history.” Jerry Nuckles (Columbus, OH) who competed in the 100-lappers of the past, now fields a car for his son Bryan. “This could be interesting for the fans, and sure will be different from when I raced for Jim & Mike Streicher. Driver seats with head rests/shoulder support or cars with power steering did not exist in the 1970’s and 80’s. It makes a little easier for today’s drivers, but this format is going to get them on their toes.”
New, challenging and uncertainty will be the key words of the weekend. Previous winner Nick Hamilton (Danville, IN) is up to the challenge. “I’m always excited to continue the tradition of the Rumble while finding new ways to maintain a great show for the fans and a unique weekend of racing for the drivers.” Also expressing interest is Tony Neuenschwander (New Haven, IN) who will be in the field with his son Chris behind the wheel. “We’ve been working on our car, with some new upgrades. The competition has gotten tougher every year, and this should provide some new kinks in the action, so we are urging our fans to come out to witness us test this change.”
Joining the Midgets over the Dec. 19 and 20 weekend will be the LiUNA non-winged and North Baltimore Custom Cuts winged 600cc Midgets, multiple classes of go-karts, BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets and Wedge Karts.

The ‘Road to the Hockett’ will further strengthen the event’s foundation and spotlight the passion and commitment that define open-wheel racing at Lucas Oil Speedway, with Kubota High Limit Racing joining the winged portion of the program.”

HURRICANE SET TO HIT OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN NEXT WEEKEND
October 31, 2025 – Las Vegas, Nevada - There’s a Hurricane headed straight for the Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by askROI in the form of Jeff “The Hurricane” Montgomery. Montgomery will be one of over 70 pre-entered winged sprint car drivers hoping to stake claim to $50,000 with a win in the November 6-8, 2025, event at the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Montgomery, who hails from Langford Station, British Columbia, Canada is one of a handful of Canadian drivers expected to compete in this year’s event. Montgomery has so far made the A-Main in both times he has competed in the OWS.
As Montgomery returns to this year’s race, he does so with confidence. He is fresh off the 2025 Northwest Sprint Tour championship. In addition, he picked up a win with the series at Penticton, BC, Canada June 7 and set two new track records throughout the season.
The 55-year-old Canadian might be a dark horse in this year’s race, but also someone to watch closely. In 2023 he started on the front row before getting caught up in an early race misfortune. Last year he was running inside the top 10 before he had a tire go low as he was steadily moving through the field to earn the “Hard Charger” Award.
“Last year I got a flat tire in my heat race and had to run the C” remembers Montgomery. I came through the C and B to get into the A and started last (25). At one point I got up to seventh or eighth and had a left front tire going down. I fell back to eleventh. We had some bad luck, but you can’t control that stuff, right? I think we had a car capable of maybe getting inside the top five last year.
“We’ve had some bad luck the past two years there. If we could run in the top five this year, I’d be happy, but I’d like to win it. These guys are the best of the best. There are so many guys capable of winning. You need a bit of luck and some things to fall your way. But I feel like we have a top five car this year.
I really like the Open Wheel Showdown. It’s pretty cool what Davey Hamilton Jr.’s done. It's close to home and everyone from Canada can come down to watch. It's really hyped up as well. We have a car capable of running up front so that makes everything a bit more enjoyable. “I got a good team and car owner in Rob Leighton. He believes in me and gives me everything I need. It’s a long race. You gotta save your equipment the first 50 laps and save your stuff until the end.If we can do that, and get some good luck, we should be there at the end” concluded Montgomery.

Roa Returns to Perris After First Win of the Season
Cypress, CA – October 29, 2025 — This Saturday night, star
USAC/CRA Sprint Car driver Brody Roa returns to Perris Auto Speedway riding
high after scoring his first victory of the year! The action-packed show
presented by Heimark Distributors Anheuser/Busch will see spectator gates
open at 5:00 p.m., with racing starting 30 minutes earlier than usual at
6:30.
The 34-year-old Garden Grove, California, racing veteran notched his long-awaited first win of 2025 two weeks ago, outdistancing the field on the legendary Southern California half-mile clay oval. The triumph marked his 22nd career USAC/CRA victory, placing him fourth all-time since the series’ inception in 2004 — and the winningest active driver in the division today.
Saturday’s event will be Roa’s 13th start of the season, with eight of the previous 12 coming at Perris. Impressively, he’s finished outside the top eight only once — a 17th-place result after being sidelined in a crash. His Perris résumé includes four top-five finishes, highlighted by a third on September 27th and that thrilling win on October 18th. His average main-event finish at the track is a strong 6.5, and an even better 5.0 if you remove the DNF.
“First off, I have to thank my dad and Uncle B,” an emotional Roa told fans after his long-awaited victory. “I have felt like a turd all day. Every time I came off the track, I went into the trailer and went to sleep. Ricky (leader Ricky Lewis, who was taken out by a crash) had us covered, but you have to be there at the end — and we did it. It’s pretty cool just to be up there with those guys and pick one off.”
After this Saturday’s show, Roa and his brilliant green #91R team will be back in action one week later when USAC/CRA wraps up its 2025 season at Perris on November 8th.
Saturday’s tickets are $35.00 for fans age 13 and up. For seniors 65 and over, it is $30.00. Kids 6 – 12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20.00 (parking payment is by card only). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. The track website is www.perrisautospeedway.com and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

Swedesboro, NJ – Promoters Doug Rose and Danny Dietrich have announced a schedule change for this weekend’s Dirty Jersey Finale presented by Better Contracting Services, NY.

New Jersey’s own Justin Whittall, last year’s Dirty Jersey winner, returns as a top contender, while 2024 event champion Kyle Reinhardt returns in a new role — serving as crew chief for 18-year-old Preston Lattomus of Lewes, Delaware, Williams Grove Speedway Rookie of the Year
Anthony Macri leads a strong PA Posse contingent including Dietrich, Freddie Rahmer Jr., Lance Dewease, and Brock Zearfoss.

Starks Highlights Season With Two More Championships and Marquee Victories
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Oct. 28, 2025) – The 2025 season was another banner year for Trey Starks, who reached the double-digit wins mark and garnered multiple championships for the second straight season.
Starks posted 10 feature triumphs, including a division-best five victories in the 410ci winged sprint car class and a division-best five wins in the 360ci winged sprint car class at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash.
That led to Starks becoming the first driver in 25 years and only the second person ever to win both the 410 and 360 track championships in the same season at Skagit Speedway.
It marked the fourth consecutive season Starks has won the 410 track title, earning the owner’s championship each of those four years and the driver’s championship each of those years except in 2023. It was also the second straight year that Starks captured the 360 track title. That gives him six total track championships in the last four years.
“There’s a lot of history with Skagit Speedway and I feel like when you look back at the champions there’s been many eras,” he said. “Skagit has taken on a different form throughout the last few years. In the 15 years I’ve been racing, this time is quite arguably the most competitive it’s ever been so to be as strong as we’ve been is really special.”
In addition to the championships, Starks highlighted the season by becoming the first driver to win both the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup and the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew in the same season. It was his first career Super Dirt Cup triumph and his third 360 Nationals victory in the last four years.
“Especially at Dirt Cup, we’ve been in contention many, many times,” he said. “Dirt Cup, like all races with a difficult format and high car counts, a lot of times you can be very fast and not have anything to show for it at the end of the weekend. That’s been us many times. This year we were prepared. We had speed and put ourselves in the correct position. Then we were able to capitalize on it. After so many years when something has gone wrong, to be able to put it all together and have something to show for it is really, really cool.”
Also of note, Starks won two features on the same night at Skagit Speedway for the third straight season and he captured the Skagit Speedway 410 season opener for the third year in a row. Starks was also victorious during the final points race in both the 410 and 360 divisions at his home track.
“I think this season is one of the more special ones for a few reasons,” he said. “First and foremost, Dirt Cup highlights the whole year. It’s arguably the highlight of my entire career just because of what the race itself means to me. You could say last year the back-to-back High Limit wins were pretty close, but Dirt Cup being a race I’ve been trying to win since 2010 and grew up watching, it was really special to knock that one off. To be the only driver to win Dirt Cup and 360 Nationals in the same year and the first one in 25 years to win both championships in the same season, there’s tons of highlights and headlines this year. For me, to know that we still have speed and are really competitive and successful on the biggest stage was rewarding. With the competition at Skagit getting tougher every year, it’s more difficult to achieve seasons like this. For us to put it all together is really cool for me because realistically a season like this will be a lot tougher as the years roll on.

MUST SEE RACING ANNOUNCES 2026 SCHEDULE
October 28, 2025 - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com today released its 2026 schedule. The schedule includes traditional venues, a new venue, and a track the series hasn’t raced at since 2021. 2026 will mark the seventeenth consecutive year the series has sanctioned 410-winged pavement sprint car racing.
The early version of the 2026 schedule contains eight events in five different states.
The 2026 season kicks off May 8 when the series visits 3/8 semi banked Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, South Carolina. It will be the first time the series has visited the facility since 2021. Joe Liguori and Troy DeCaire were victorious the last time the series competed in a two-day event there.
The series will then head to Cordele Motor Speedway in Cordele, Georgia the following evening May 9. It will be the first-ever visit by MSR to the 3/8 facility. It has also been since July 20, 2013, that winged sprint cars last raced there. Brian Gingras won that event nearly thirteen years ago.
Both early season events will pay $5,000 to win and $700 to start each night.
Next up will be a return to Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on Saturday June 6. Berlin has hosted an MSR event every year since its formation in 2010 and is the oldest track on the schedule. This event will be Round #1 of the Fast Car Dash miniseries. A separate points fund will give teams a chance to earn extra money by competing in the Fast Car Dash miniseries.
This event will be just three days after the new Million Dollar Series event at nearby Owosso Speedway. This event will give out-of-town teams the chance to compete with MSR as there will be a good number of out-of-town cars in the area. A huge field of cars is expected.
The final round of the Fast Car Dash will be contested at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan for the only visit to Owosso Speedway in 2026 on Saturday July 11. Kody Swanson picked up $10,000 after winning the August 31 event at the 3/8-high banked speedway on August 31.
There is a TBA announced date of August 7-8 on the schedule. Series officials announced details of these dates will be announced soon, once details have been finalized.
The 2026 season will conclude on October 1-2. The series
will make a return visit to Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on
Friday night October 1 before wrapping up the weekend at Montgomery Motor
Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama the following evening. Both events will be
part of the 2nd annual Southern Shootout. Bobby Santos III swept the
Southern Shootout in 2025.
Additional details pertaining to the 2026 schedule will be announced in the
coming weeks. Like and follow us on Facebook or visit www.mustseeracing.com.
HUMPHRIES OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN CHANCES
October 28, 2025 – Las Vegas, Nevada - Chowchilla, California’s Eric Humphries is eagerly looking forward to next weekend’s Bitnile.Com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by askROI. If things go the way Humphries anticipate they go, he could be battLing for the $50,000 first place prize money.
Humpries is no stranger to winged asphalt sprint car racing. He’s been good, really good. He is a three-time King of the Wing National champion. He has won multiple times with the series over the years. At times, he’s been downright dominant.
But the last couple of years he’s focused on winged dirt sprint car racing and his family. He’s put focus on being a dad and helping his children with the different sports they have recently pursued.
“I think I’m going into the Open Wheel Showdown with 12-13 shows under my belt. That’s the most I’ve run on pavement the last few years” explained Humphries. “What ended up happening is I got heavily involved in baseball with my oldest kid” explained the 39-year-old Humphries. “He made the all-star team, and I became the all-star coach. I didn’t even get going until May because of all of that.
“We took a year off about two years ago. I had to focus on the family business. Being a dad is what happened to me as well. I’ve been going racing with my boys and working on the family business. I’m pretty much retired from dirt. I feel to be good on dirt you gotta race 30-40 times a year. I can’t do that anymore with being a dad, racing with my boys, and enjoying life. But I feel like I’m better on the asphalt. It’s second nature to me.
“I feel good about our equipment and where we’re at, as a team. I think we size up good against the guys who are coming. But that’s a tall order to win the thing. We’re gonna do what we can to be there at the end. It’s such a long race. It’s 100 laps. You can be fast the first 50, but it’s the last 50 that matters.”
Humphries returned in a big way in 2025. He has won twice with Speed Tour including a win in the $10,000 Pink Lady Classic at Meridian (ID) Speedway in September. Many of the same drivers he will face off against at the Open Wheel Showdown were at the Pink Lady Classic. He also won a non-wing race with NCMA at the Harvest Classic at Madera Speedway.
“I took a couple of years off and stayed quiet. But we updated all our stuff. We are in a different car now. We got a Grip Chassis. But we still got our BEAST stuff. We’ve updated our motor program. My brother is still very much a part of the crew chief side of things for our Harvest Supply Racing Team. I got Jeff Gardner with Rev Con Suspension with us now. Our program is good right now.
“There are so many people making this happen this year. Harvest Supply, TBM Brakes, RevCon Suspension, Royal’s Welding, RDM Deisel, IRM Inc., car owners Carl and Dennis Mott, and Dennis Boulding. My crew guys Scott, Tony, Jeff, and Clinton. A lot of people are behind this deal.”
Humpries finished in the top 10 in the inaugural OWS. He
finished fifth last year and feels a win, or at the very least, a top 3.
“We have a lot of momentum going into the Open Wheel Showdown. It’s going to
be a tall order to win it. There are gonna be so many good drivers there. I
love this race. You got the best of the best in the country. Where We’re at
now, I feel good about another top five. But I think we’ll be contending for
a win” concluded Humphries.
Dover Eager for Return to Short Track Nationals to Start Final Month of Season
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 28, 2025) – Jack Dover is down to his final month of the racing season.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver plans to compete the next four weekends in four different states to wrap up the 2025 campaign. It will mark his first time at each of the four tracks on the schedule.
“It should be a pretty exciting month,” Dover said. “We get to travel and go to tracks I’ve never raced at. That’s always interesting. I’m excited to see if we can wrap up the year strong. As the year has gone on we’ve gotten better so I’m looking forward to seeing how we do.”
The action begins this Friday and Saturday at Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Ark., during the 38th annual Short Track Nationals. It’s his first time competing at the Short Track Nationals – an event that was founded at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., and recently moved to Texarkana 67 Speedway – since 2015.
“My goal is a top 10,” he said. “At Short Track Nationals the key was always to survive. If this is anything like how the event was then we’ll do our best to avoid any trouble and move forward.”
From Arkansas, Dover and the team will head to Texas to compete on Nov. 7-8 with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.
On Nov. 14-15, Dover plans to race at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M., before the season concludes Nov. 21-22 at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Ariz., with the POWRi Desert Sprint Car Series.
“I’m really excited for Vado and Central Arizona,” he said. “Doing that southern swing is something I enjoy. We’ve done that a couple of years at other tracks down there in the past and it’s kind of like a vacation while you’re racing.”
SEASON STATS –
45 races, 2 wins, 15 top fives, 22 top 10s, 27 top 15s, 31 top 20s

Halloween showdown wraps up SCCT season at Stockton Dirt Track Friday
By Gary Thomas
Stockton, CA…What started in March will conclude this Friday when the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour tackles the Stockton Dirt Track to open the 42nd annual Tribute to Gary Patterson on Halloween.
The event has morphed back into a double header weekend with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour and West Coast Pro Stocks launching things on Friday October 31st.
Kids 12 and under wearing a costume will receive free admission in the stands on Halloween. Teams are also encouraged to bring candy for a Trick or Treat in the pit area following the races.
Saturday November 1st will then showcase the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, the California Midget Super Series and Dwarf Cars. Plenty of camping is available on the fairgrounds for those who want to make a weekend out of it at the Tribute to Gary Patterson.
“Everyone with Noceti Group is looking forward to GP weekend this Friday and Saturday,” said Stockton Dirt Track Promoter Tony Noceti. “We continue doing work on this track to try and give teams the best possible surface. Back in March it was dialed in a little more and I feel that we should have two great nights of racing to finish off the championships.”
The Shop Kyle Larson SCCT main event will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start during the Halloween night spectacular. It marks the first event at the Stockton Dirt Track for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since last season.
Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track.
“We are excited for Stockton on Friday and will be looking to have a solid night,” commented Wood. “My team and all our supporters have helped put us in this position heading into the SCCT finale. It would mean a lot to become the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour champion.”
Yuba City’s Seth Standley will also be looking for a strong night to finish out the SCCT season. The 19-year-old holds down second in the standings and is 57-points back of Wood. Montana’s Cole Schroeder, SCCT Western Sprint Tour champion Max Mittry and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes round out the top five.
Brentwood’s Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Marysville’s Carson Hammes and Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi complete the top 10 heading into the Stockton Dirt Track.
Known as the “Dancing Phantom from Stockton,” the “Preacher,” the “Hostile Hippie” or just simply “GP,” Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others.
Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. “GP” moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we’ve paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.

WILLISON TAKING OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN PREP SERIUOSLY
October 26, 2025 – Las Vegas, Nevada - Langley, British Columbia, Canada
driver Aaron Willison returns to this year's Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown
Presented by askROI looking to take home $50,000 back to Canada.
He was the inaugural 2023 Open Wheel Showdown champion and is all too
familiar with what it takes to win the prestigious event. He is set to
battle the best winged pavement sprint car drivers in the country November
6-8, 2025, at the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The “Asphalt Assassin” as he is nicknamed, has had a very good season. He
has won on three occasions this year. He finished runner-up in the Northwest
Sprint Tour championship and ended up third in the Must See Racing
championship. This was a successful season by any account.
But in Willison’s eyes, it was mediocre. Last year alone he led the country
with twelve total feature victories with no less than six different
sanctioning bodies. He was also the NST champion and finished as the #2
ranked driver in the National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings. A win in this
year’s Open Wheel Showdown would salvage the season as being successful for
Willison.
“We had a great car all year. Lots of great speed everywhere we went” stated
Willison. “But it was just one of those years. We kept getting caught up in
little issues. Got run into, run over, run over things, everything under the
sun. In 2024 it seemed like everything went right. This year everything that
could go wrong did go wrong. It’s one of those deals. You take the good with
the bad. A win in the Open Wheel Showdown, or at the very least a good run
there, would feel good on the year.”
Willison is one of only two drivers to have finished on the podium at the
Open Wheel Showdown each of the previous two seasons. Willson finished third
in last year’s event.
“This year, just like the last couple years, you hear all these stories
going into it about this star driver, this star crew chief, this person, and
that person putting deals together for this race. When it all shakes out on
Saturday night, it’s always the regular guys who run well all over the
country that end up on the front straight there. It’s been an honor to have
been there both times and I’m proud of it.
Just like the previous two seasons, Willison is taking preparation for the
Open Wheel Showdown seriously.
“It’s the same as the last couple of years. The bulk of it is you come with
a fresh motor, fresh rear end, fresh shocks, and fresh brakes. You go
through the car from top to bottom. You don’t just pull across the country
and go to a race of this level with stuff that’s got a bunch of time on it.
"The Rendle Brothers Racing team is coming with our best foot forward. We
got a fresh motor I’m really happy with I think we’re gonna bring a great
product out there again. I Can’t wait to get back to Las Vegas” concluded
Willison.
United Sprint League now under new ownership
By John Rittenoure - TULSA, Okla. (October 27, 2025) - It
was not an easy decision to make, but Michael Tyre has sold the United
Sprint League to Nick and Ashley Newton of Oklahoma City.
Nick operates Ortco, Inc. which has been the title sponsor
of USL for the past two years, and the Newton’s also own the sprint car
driven by 2025 USL champion Tanner Conn.
Tyre has worked tirelessly over the past two seasons to
rebuild non-wing sprint car racing in Oklahoma and felt the time was right
for someone to take it to the next level.
“It was a very hard decision to make after so many years,”
said Tyre, who will remain involved with USL through the 2025 banquet. “I
was race director with USL for four years and owned it for two years. I just
feel like it is the right time.
“I am very proud of what we’ve accomplished with the series
and how it’s grown. The people we’ve had helping, working at the track, the
sponsors, drivers, I mean, everybody involved has been a huge part of what
the series has become.”
Tyre feels USL is in a good position now and ready for
someone with more resources to continue what he started.
“Nick and I have been talking off and on for a year about
what the future of USL would be like,” Tyre said. “Nick and Ortco, Inc.’s
contribution to USL started at the beginning of me and Jennifer owning it
and he has always wanted to be a part of the future of USL. So the timing
works out with him wanting to carry the torch and maybe take it further than
I have the time or resources to do.
“When we decided to do this, non-wing racing was in a bit of
an uncertain place and the goal was to help non-wing racing to have a place
here in Oklahoma and a good foundation to move forward on. It takes a lot of
work, time and effort and it is hard to keep up with. We accomplished goals
for the series to make non-wing stable and I feel like it is just time.
“I miss the other side of racing. I want to get back in the
car more.”
Tyre is very thankful for the support he received the past
two years.
“I just want to say thanks to everyone, especially my wife
for allowing me to take this on and make something that we can be proud of,”
he said. “I am so thankful for everyone that’s been involved.”
After working closely with Tyre the past two years Ashley
and Nick felt they were ready to step into the role of series ownership.
“Working with Tyre the past two years I feel it (non-wing
racing) has gotten better around here and I want to keep it going,” Nick
Newton said. “He was ready to get out and do more family things and I was in
a position to do it.
“I always wanted to do it,” Ashley Newton said. “Last year I
presented trophies, and this year Michael took a chance on me and let me do
the marketing for the series, so I am pretty excited to step into this role
and see what we can do with the non-wing racing,”
Running the series will be a team effort between Nick and
Ashley.
“Nick plans on making the calls on the track, and I’m going
to handle everything else with the series, the marketing, scheduling of
races, sponsorships and all of that,” Ashley said. “One of the biggest
things that we’re trying to do for 2026 is to get the purse increased. That
is my number one goal.
“And we got to get connected more to the fans and, you know,
even the kids. There is not a lot of new generation coming into it.”
As a series owner Newton realizes some may have concerns of
conflict should he continue to be a car owner.
“Right now that is up in the air,” Nick said of his
involvement as a team owner. “If I did race it I would’t be connected to it
while I’m at the racetrack, because I think it is a conflict of interest. So
its up in the air right now.
“If someone wants to race the car they would have to get it
ready and t take care of it. People of done it, I can still own the car and
it be there as long as I don’t touch it and try to work on it.”
Very few changes, if any, are planed in the nightly race
format.
“I don’t feel like there was a lot broken with the series,”
said Nick. “I don’t plan to change the format. I feel like everything went
pretty well. Michael laid it out well. We had some close finishes. I don’t
feel any changes need to happen.”
A drivers, owners, meeting is planned to get input from the
teams prior to the 2026 season.
“I plan to have a meeting with any of the people that are
going to run USL so I can have their input on things,” Nick said. “Racing
kind of needs to get back to the niche of like being a family again.”
“We just want to grow it and make it fun again.”

It’s Clicking Now: Ross Poised for Strong Finish to 2025
Abbottstown, PA – October 23, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Three weeks ago at Williams Grove’s National Open, Tyler Ross and Ross Racing solved a challenge that had plagued the team most of the season. As a result, he scored a 13th-place finish in the prestigious event. More importantly, it boosted confidence and morale.
Less than one week later, Ross prepared for two more rounds with the World of Outlaws, hoping to continue the newfound momentum.
GAME OF INCHES
The two-race weekend against the PA Posse’s longtime foe, the Outlaws, kicked off on neutral turf at New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey.
After a respectable qualifying run and heat race finish, Ross started 15th in the 30-lap A-main.
Just a few laps into the race, Ross had surged inside the top ten before it all unraveled. On an early restart, he hopped the right rear of another car and ended up at the back of the field.
“Our results don’t show the speed we had. The guys gave me a really good car. I really feel we had a solid top-ten car if not for the contact on the restart,” a disappointed Ross said.
LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS
Ross was looking forward to taking on the touring series at his weekly home, Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania.
The Lincoln University, PA driver qualified 11th in his flight, then looked to move forward from his heat race starting spot outside row three. In close quarters on the start, Ross got a piece of another car’s right rear tire. It was enough to upset the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service / Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5, and drop him to the back of the field. Recovering the lost track position proved to be difficult with a narrow racing groove.
Ross utilized a track provisional to join the field for the 35-lap feature, taking the green flag from the 26th starting spot.
He wasted no time, racing his way to 16th by lap thirteen. Ross went on to pass a total of thirteen cars to finish 13th. It was a stellar recovery from a disappointing start to the night.
“Man, I would have liked to have seen what we would have been able to do with a better starting spot,” a smiling Ross said of the bittersweet finish.
“That was the first time we brought the white car here this year, and I felt extremely comfortable in the feature.”
STRONG FINISH
Ross returned to Lincoln Speedway over the recent weekend for the track’s season finale, dubbed the “Final 50”, and he came out of the gate strong, qualifying 6th quickest and taking his 5th heat race win of the season.
From his 4th row starting spot in the extra-distance main event, Ross held his ground in the back half of the top ten throughout the first half of the race.
Just after the halfway point, Ross fought his way into 6th and continued to press forward, cracking the top five and holding down the position for the final three circuits to secure his 8th top-five and 19th top-ten of the 2025 season.
“I’m very pleased with our night. We were okay in the feature, just couldn’t get going good enough before the rubber came in. The car was good, it’s just tough redrawing a 7 and trying to drive to the front with other fast cars,” Ross commented on his night.
Ross has three races remaining on his 2025 schedule, beginning at BAPS Motor Speedway this Saturday. The following weekend he will make the short trip to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in NJ for the Dirty Jersey Finale. The final outing of the year will be November 15th at BAPS.
“I hope we can just keep this going and finish strong with top-fives or podium finishes. We want to end the year on a high note and start the rebuild for next year with a solid foundation,” Ross said.
Fans can follow Ross Racing on Facebook for the latest schedule updates and other news.

Free admission for kids 12 and under in costume on October 31 at Stockton Dirt Track
By Gary Thomas
Stockton, CA…With the Tribute to Gary Patterson fast approaching the Stockton Dirt Track is pleased to announce there will be free admission in the stands for kids 12 and under wearing a costume during the Friday opener on Halloween.
A Trick or Treat is also planned after the races in the pit area and teams are encouraged to bring candy for the youngsters as they make their way around the trailers.
The Friday October 31st event marks championship night for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The traveling Winged 360 Sprint Car Series has competed up and down the West Coast this year, from as far south as Tulare and as far north as Skagit Speedway in Washington.
Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track.
Yuba City’s Seth Standley, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Redding’s Max Mittry and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes round out the top five in the standings.
“We look forward to finishing off the Sprint Car Challenge Tour season on Halloween night at the Stockton Dirt Track,” commented tour President Scott Russell. “Thank you to Tony Noceti and his team for allowing free admittance to kids 12 and under in costume. Hopefully everyone will come out and help us wrap up the SCCT season in style.”
The Halloween special will also be the season finale for both the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars and the West Coast Pro Stocks.
One night later the championship finals continue with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, the BCRA/WMR Midget Super Series and Dwarf Cars on Saturday November 1st. Hanford’s DJ Netto holds the NARC 410 point lead going into their next event this weekend.
Known as the “Dancing Phantom from Stockton,” the “Preacher,” the “Hostile Hippie” or just simply “GP,” Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others.
Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. “GP” moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we’ve paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.
Tickets for both nights can be purchased at the gate or online via www.stocktondirttrack.com
The Stockton Dirt Track is a quarter mile clay oval located on the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton, California. The physical address is 1658 S Airport Way, Stockton, CA 95206.
Tanner Holmes Battles to Exciting Trophy Cup Feature
Event Win
PETERSEN MEDIA- Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports
didn’t quit despite having a tough first two nights of the Trophy Cup. Not
sitting where they wanted in points, they focused on racing into the show on
Saturday night, and after transferring through the ‘B’, Holmes went toe to
toe with Levi Hillier and Spencer Bayston to claim the Saturday night
feature event victory.
“It was a bit of a tough first two nights for our race
team,” Tanner Holmes said. “We qualified really well, but we just didn’t
quite have the Trophy Cup luck we needed to race to the front so, our points
just weren’t there.”
Lining up in the second row of his Saturday night heat race
aboard the Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales
backed No. 21 entry, Holmes worked his way to a third-place finish.
Still not in the Top 18 for event points, Holmes lined up in
the second row of the ‘B’, with six transfers into the feature event up for
grabs. Racing his way to a second-place finish, the Jacksonville, OR driver
was locked into the 50-lap feature event where he took the green flag from
the outside of the second row.
On the slick feature event surface, Holmes worked his way
into third in the opening laps, and then was into second on the ninth lap
when the earlier leader ran into issues.
Slipping back on the ensuing restart as he chased after Levi
Hillier, Holmes fell back to sixth on the 11th lap but was able to get back
up on the thick cushion that had built up and back into fourth on the 13th
lap, before moving back into third on lap 16.
Racing back into second just before the race’s halfway
point, Holmes closed in on Hillier as they raced hard and reached the back
of the field.
Getting into the race lead on the 27th lap, the red flew and
allowed teams to re fuel and make adjustments for the final half of the
race.
Nailing the restart and powering his way away from the
field, Holmes set a strong pace though, behind him Spencer Bayston was
reeling him in.
On the 46th lap, Bayston was able to driver around Holmes in
traffic and drop him back to second, but Holmes didn’t go away. Continuing
to battle, Holmes returned the favor on the 49th lap and went on to pick up
the popular feature event win.
“When I saw Bayston get by, I knew it had to push it harder
with time running out,” Holmes said. “Luckily I was able to pace him, and
then coming to the white a hole opened up and I was able to capitalize and
get the Tarlton Motorsports another win in Tulare, CA. A huge thanks to
everyone on our team for all of their hard work as well as to the Tarlton
family for their continued support.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 25, Wins: 4, Top 5’s: 9, Top 10’s: 13

return to action for the NARC finale on November 1st in Stockton, CA.

Dominic Scelzi Rallies for Third-Place Finish in Final Trophy Cup Standings
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Oct. 22, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi produced another successful Trophy Cup, finishing third in overall points out of more than 50 competitors during the marquee event at Thunderbowl Raceway last weekend.
Scelzi kicked off the 31st edition of the three-day event last Thursday.
“We qualified third in our group and went eighth to fourth in the heat race,” he said. “That gave us good points and lined us up ninth in the main event. At one point we got to sixth and were right behind fourth and fifth. A car half spun in front of us and we had to lift. I lost two spots and ran there until the end when I picked up one more spot to run seventh.”
That was the preliminary night the team used as Friday’s program featured Scelzi timing in 12th quickest in his group before placing fifth in a heat race, sixth in the B Main and 24th in the A Main.
A run from seventh to fifth place in a heat race on Saturday lined Scelzi up 17th in the 50-lap main event that was fully inverted.
“I felt we were in a good position,” he said. “My only concern was if guys fall out or pull off it gives free spots to the guys starting on the back row. That’s what really hurt us as several cars didn’t finish. I didn’t know where the other guys with higher points than I had were, but knowing we got to fifth by the end of the race felt good. That’s usually a place where I thought that’d be enough for us, but it wasn’t quite enough to win.”
Scelzi charged from 17th to fifth place, which was the third-most positions gained in the race. He finished third in the final standings – only 12 points out of the lead.
“I’m happy with the performance,” he said. “You want to win it, but I felt we did everything we possibly could have to create the best outcome. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. I think just being a little better in the main event on the first preliminary night was the only place we could have improved.”
Scelzi plans to compete this Saturday at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif., during the October Classic with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. He placed third during this race last year.

Lattomus Makes First National Main With High Limit
Racing, Logs Top Ten in Lincoln’s Final 50
Abbottstown, PA – October 22, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus battled through an end-of-summer slump and bounced back by checking off a career first.
The momentum continued with a top ten finish last weekend in the longest A-main of his rookie 410 sprint car campaign.
The young Delaware product is looking to keep it rolling over the coming weeks as he closes out his first season at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Lattomus closed out September by joining the High Limit Racing series at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in New Jersey. In his first visit to the high-banked, 4-tenths mile oval, he overcame a disappointing qualifying lap by fighting his way through the B-main to make his first national touring series feature event. Unfortunately, the event was cut short when rain came after lap ten, stealing his opportunity to move forward in the A-main.
“Making our first national series feature at Bridgeport was a very cool moment for me, even though it got cut short by the weather,” Lattomus shared.
“I love Bridgeport as a racetrack, and I call it my home track because I’ve been going there my whole life to watch national touring races. It’s always been the closest track to us to have those races.”
Two weeks later, Lattomus backed up the accomplishment by duplicating the achievement against the World of Outlaws at New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey on his first visit in a 410 sprint car. He brought home a 20th-place finish.
“Both series were a privilege to race with and I’m excited to race with them again,” Lattomus said.
BIG REBOUND
Lattomus returned to more familiar turf on October 11th, once again taking on the World of Outlaws, this time at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA. A poor qualifying lap put the Lewes, DE driver in a hole he could not dig out of, ending his night short of the A-main.
The following Saturday, Lattomus and team returned to Lincoln Speedway to wrap up the speedway’s season in the Final 50 event. They brought back the same car they raced the week before against the Outlaws, a car that the team has struggled with recently.
On this night, it was a different story. Adjustments led to a good qualifying lap, 5th in his flight. Lattomus followed it up with a heat race podium, then charged from 11th to 7th in the 50-lap finale to record his 5th top-ten of the season.
“Our last two Saturdays were in the PA car. We finally made progress on it, and we put together a good night. The qualifying lap set us up for the 50-lapper,” Lattomus commented.
WRAPPING IT UP
Lattomus will wrap up his season in the coming weeks. The next two weekends are set in stone with a possible third race in mid-November.
“We will be at BAPS (Motor Speedway) this weekend, and we are running Bridgeport (Motorsports Park) at the end of the month. The November BAPS race is tentative, depending on the weather,” Lattomus shared.
“BAPS is a track we haven’t had much time on this year due to weather and mechanical problems, but the last feature we ran there, we had great speed. I can’t wait to get back to Bridgeport. I really like the track. I love racing there.”
Lattomus has diligently worked through the challenges and learning curve of his first 410 sprint car season, and as he approaches the conclusion of his rookie season, his optimism and growing confidence are apparent.

SOS ANNOUNCES LS ENGINE OPTION
ST. MARYS, Ont. (October 21, 2025) - In an effort to make 360 Sprint Car racing in Southern Ontario more affordable, the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) will be allowing a spec General Motors (GM) LS-3 racing engine for the 2026 racing season. The engine will feature an aluminum block and heads and - based on current pricing - will have an out-the-door maximum cost of $26,000 CAD. This engine is not meant to make obsolete or replace the current 360 engine program already in place; it is to allow teams a lower-cost alternative to compete at the 360 level.
The target for the engine will be 640 horsepower; while that is shy of the current 700-plus horsepower engines, it is expected that the LS engine’s 75-pound weight advantage will offset most of the power differential. The engine will utilize aftermarket components in several areas, but will use an aluminum block and cylinder heads as supplied from GM. To ease the transition for any interested 602 Crate Sprint Car teams, the engine has been designed to use the same Holley carburetor and fuel pump system that is in current use in the Crate division.
A prototype engine has been developed by DSE Performance and successfully run in late-season competition by Jamie Turner. In its first race with the Ontario Traditional Sprints series, Turner finished second in the feature event. In its only SOS race at Merrittville on Oct 4, Jamie started 25th with the engine and had advanced four positions when brake issues halted the team after eight laps.
The three leading Sprint Car engine builders in Ontario are all involved in the rules package development. This group includes DSE Performance, Leitch Performance Engines, and Klotz Engine Machine Shop - these will be the only accredited LS engine builders. The majority of the rules package has been finalized but - in an effort to maximize horsepower with no cost impact and to ensure parts availability - some work has yet to be completed.
Since the project’s beginning, we have kept in contact with Ohsweken Speedway management and made them aware of the engine’s development. In return, Ohsweken track management has stated that they will allow the engine to compete in their 360 Sprint Car events, with Brighton Speedway on board as well.
We will keep you informed of any further developments and a finalized rules package in the next few weeks. Please contact Peter Turford at pturford@southernontariosprints.com for more information.

ROOKIE HAS LOFTY EXPECTATIONS FOR OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN
October 21, 2025 - Las Vegas, Nevada - A quick look at the Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by askROI winged sprint car entry list reveals a little-known driver from Brighton, Colorado. Adam Hilton has officially filed an entry and plans to participate in his very first OWS at the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway November 6-8.
Hilton’s story is an intriguing one. There’s a reason fans may be unfamiliar with him. He’s a rookie. And when we say rookie, he’s a rookie in every sense.
The OWS has quickly become the biggest pavement sprint car race in the entire country in terms of total car count and prize money. Teams annually migrate from all over the country in hopes of taking home the $50,000 first place prize money. Every driver has self-imposed goals of what they hope to accomplish during the weekend in Las Vegas. Hilton is no different.
The 42-year-old Hilton might have the toughest job ahead of him compared to others. Not only is he a sprint car rookie, but he only has five career starts dating back to last season, and they have all come at Colorado National Speedway in Dacono, Colorado.
What he lacks in track time and set-up experience, he more than makes up for it with enthusiasm, passion, and lofty goals.
His love for sprint cars began as a kid in 1995.
“I was riding my bicycle as a kid in 1995. This guy in my neighborhood, Craig Shaeffer, started his sprint car down the street by my house” remembers Hilton. “I chased that thing with my bicycle. I ended up being on his ASCS championship team in 1996 after that. I wasn’t more than ten or eleven years old.”
After a career that included super stocks and late models, Hilton bought a sprint car in 2024.
“After a late model race a couple years ago. I was having a beer with Cris Muhler. He was telling me about this new non-wing sprint car series that was starting. He said I’ll sell you that sprint car in my back yard for $4,000. A guy I was crewing on a late model for had an all-aluminum engine sitting in the shop. He told me to take it and put it in the car. The whole thing just started coming together from there even though we didn’t race that car.”
“Then a friend of mine, Steve Lacy’s dad, had a sprint car. He had the passion to race again but Steve didn’t have the passion to drive again. Low and behold enough people came together and purchased the BEAST for me that they had for sale.
In a career that has so far included only four winged shows at CNS, he proudly points out he has made the A-main all four times with fields of nearly 30 cars.
“My third time out was a non-wing race at the same track. I got quick time. I was second in my heat race. In the feature event I was taking the lead and spun out. I got a flat, spun out, and couldn’t get it fixed. Made both A-mains gain this year at CNS during the fourth of July weekend.”
Now Hilton prepares to take on a field of some of the best winged pavement sprint car drivers in the country in a little over two weeks.
“This sprint car venture has kind of given me a drive in life and rejuvenated my passion for racing. Driving a sprint car has always been on my bucket list. I’ve always dreamed of doing this and its happening.
“When I told everybody I wanted to do Las Vegas, everyone pretty much told me its way above where we’re at. I said, ‘who says I can’t do it’. I looked at the roster and thought I’ve raced ahead of a lot of these guys already. I’m no Aaron Willison but I’ve already beaten a bunch of these guys. I’ve never driven a lap on the “Bullring” but I’ve watched races there.
“Steve Lacy has helped me acquire some pieces and components for the car. I think we now have something I can make the main event with.
“My goal is to make the A-main, which I feel I can. But the racer in me wants to go out and win it. I know I’ll have my work cut out for me and this won’t be an easy task. but the competitive part of me likes challenges. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I’ve had so many people step up and make this happen. If it wasn’t for these folks, I wouldn’t be going to Las Vegas. Custom Linings, Blue Ribbon Trophies, Colorado Imaging, Millenium Concrete Cutting, GTI Golf Carts, Uptown Speed Shop, Accublast, RAW Racing, Buckeye Welding, I.M.M., NBQ Motorsports, and many friends and family have donated countless hours to make this all possible.”
You must appreciate the hunger, passion, and drive Hilton exhibits. You can’t help but wanna pull for this rookie with odds stacked against him. If things go the way Hilton would like in Las Vegas, he may not be under the radar much longer.

Dover Preparing for Atomic Speedway Debut This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Jack Dover is bound for Ohio this weekend to tackle a doubleheader at Atomic Speedway.
The high-banked oval in Chillicothe hosts a two-day show running Friday and Saturday.
“The furthest East I’ve raced is Eldora and this is my second time going that far East,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “It’s something new, another new track on my list. There’s a good payout, too. I’m excited for the challenge of a new track and getting to meet some new Ohio fans.
“With those guys, if we can go out there and run in the top 10 it’s a very good weekend. Our goal is to win, but you have to have realistic expectations and a top 10 this weekend would be stellar.”
Dover last competed on Oct. 10-11 at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., during the Heart of America Showdown with Kubota High Limit Racing. He made the main event during the opening night before ending in the B Main the following night.
“Our results don’t show we were good, but we had speed,” he said. “We went out last in our qualifying group and the track was definitely getting slower, but we still were 11th quick on the Saturday show. In the heat race I made a mistake and fell back a couple of positions. Then in the B Main the track was really fast so it was tough to move forward. You have to be on point and not make any mistakes when racing with a national series. We learned from the weekend and are excited for our next challenge this weekend in Ohio.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 10 – Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. – Qualifying: 12; Heat race: 6 (6); B Main: 3 (6); Feature: 24 (23).

Kaleb Johnson Earns First Career Top 10 in Central Pennsylvania
Inside Line Promotions – ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson captured his first career top-10 result racing with the PA Posse last Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.
“With the weather forecast for the World of Outlaws and Lincoln making an effort to get in the make-up feature we decided that was the best option for our team to race last weekend,” the Team DGRD driver said. “I think it went all right. It felt good to get a top 10.”
Johnson lined up 13th for the make-up feature of an event that rained out last month.
“I avoided three wrecks on the initial start so that put me in a good spot,” he said. “I felt a lot more comfortable. The track got pretty slick and was around the top. I think I was up to eighth or so after those early crashes. We went single file. I got by a guy and rolled around the top. It was a little tough to pass. You had to be super technical. I ended up getting passed with a couple to go for seventh. It was good to kinda be close to the front because our Pennsylvania swing had been a struggle.”
Johnson’s eighth-place result was his 26th top 10 of the season.
He qualified 11th quickest in his group and advanced a position to place fifth in a heat race to lock into the night’s final feature, in which he ended 16th.
“I was able to get a good initial start in the heat race,” he said. “We got to fifth and stayed there for the rest of the race. It was good to lock into the feature and not have to run the B Main.
“We rolled around 16th or 17th most of the feature. A few guys dropped out and I got passed by a few. It was good to go 50 laps. We struggled to find grip on the slick track so it was a good night of learning.”
Johnson will take the next two weeks off before ending the season Nov. 5-8 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C., during the World of Outlaws World Finals with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Starks Garners Top 10 in Trophy Cup Standings Despite Adversity
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Trey Starks pieced together a strong performance throughout the 31st annual Trophy Cup.
Starks overcame adversity to finish eighth in the standings out of more than 50 drivers who tackled the marquee event at Thunderbowl Raceway last weekend.
“We did wreck some stuff, but all things considered it wasn’t that bad,” he said. “We crashed on Friday and pulled a new car down. It hurt the car in the most minimal way it could. We were kind of struggling with that car anyway so we pulled the car down from upstairs and it seemed to be better.
“Ironically, we had success in the 360s this year, but we struggled with that 360 car all year. We had speed, but we had to make more adjustments than we normally have to. I think it was time for that one to be cycled out anyway. It’s a car from 2013 so it’s the oldest one we have.”
Starks kicked off the three-race event on Thursday by qualifying 14th quickest in his group. He advanced from fourth to win a heat race before maneuvering from seventh to fifth place in the main event.
“All weekend we didn’t qualify where we wanted, but the way the format works out you aren’t completely behind the eight ball if you don’t qualify well,” he said. “We capitalized and made up spots in the heat race to garner a lot of points. That gave us a semi-decent starting spot in the feature. We ran around the top five the whole time. We were trying to find what the car needed. We weren’t great, but we were able to stay in the top five and salvage a decent points night to take some of the pressure off the second night.”
That was fortunate as Friday’s program ended early following a flip during a heat race.
Starks opened Saturday’s show by driving from sixth to fourth place in a heat race. That locked him into the fully inverted, 50-lap feature.
“We were third in points, but there was a big points discrepancy between us and the high-points guy,” he said. “Third through 12th was only a few points. That put me further in the invert, but I didn’t have a big enough points cushion to be able to finish behind those guys. I would have much rather been 12th to 15th in points to be closer to the front. Third through about 18th in points wasn’t much of a difference.
“At the end of the day you have to go forward as much as you can, pass as many cars as you can and hope at the end you did enough. Starting at the back you can get put down a lap real quick. We tried to work our way forward. There were a few wrecks and we found ourselves caught up in one trying to slow down for the wreck. We caught the cushion wrong off the gas and ended up tumbling over. Thankfully we didn’t have that much damage. We spent some time in the work area to get back out there, but we couldn’t fix everything and we had damage the whole race. All things considered, with the damage we had, being able to march to 11th was pretty good, but with the way the points shook out it wasn’t quite enough.”
Starks was tied for the fourth-most positions gained as he hustled from 22nd to 11th.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Reach Victory Lane for 17th Total Time This Season
Inside Line Promotions – SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports earned its second-most World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victories in a season last Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway, where David Gravel guided the team to its 16th triumph of the year with ‘The Greatest Show on Dirt.’
Gravel qualified fourth quickest, placed second in a heat race and won the dash to garner the pole position of the main event at the dirt oval in Putnamville, Ind. He led the opening lap before falling to second. Gravel reclaimed the top spot on Lap 13 and held on for the remainder of the race, which showcased contact during the battle for the lead in turn four on the final circuit.
“Obviously, you don’t want guys to come together on the last corner racing for the win,” Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “We were equal, wheel-to-wheel there. I just think we were racing for the same spot, last lap, last corner for the win. I felt like I kind of had position on him down the backstretch. I felt like he kind of forced it to go outside of me. He knew I was going to the cushion. I didn’t wreck him on purpose. I know that, and hopefully he does as well. I don’t want to get into a crash and knock the guy out that we’re racing in points either. I want to win fair and square. I just got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson), Pete (Stephens), and Luke (Vaughn) is here helping us out.”
The winning performance marked the 17th overall victory of the season – tied for the second most in a season (2011) for Big Game Motorsports. That year and the following season, when Big Game Motorsports won a season-best 23 total races with 22 being World of Outlaws shows, the team had two full-time drivers.
Saturday’s World of Outlaws event at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., fell to the weather. The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway, where Gravel set quick time during World of Outlaws qualifying for the 23rd time this season. He also established a new track record.
A heat race win and a runner-up result in the dash started Gravel on the outside of the front row in the main event. He battled between second and third throughout the race before ending third for his 39th podium run of the season.
“It was interesting,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I felt like the bottom was going to be the place to be in (turns) one and two the whole time. Sheldon (Haudenschild) showed us the top was the place to be, and I saw him almost crash that one time outside of me. I thought maybe he just had a hero lap, but then the next lap he drove around me. Then I kind of got up there and followed him.”
The team heads to 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., this Friday for the Wichita Sprint Car Showdown before venturing to Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla., on Saturday for the Jason Johnson Classic presented by FK Rod Ends.
Gravel holds a 138-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the weekend.

JONESTOWN, Pa. (October 20, 2025) – Brock Zearfoss’ final visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway resulted in another sound outcome for the Jonestown, Pennsylvania, native, this time securing a top-ten – finishing sixth, officially – in the speedway’s 50-lap, $15,000-to-win “Final 50” on Saturday, October 18. Zearfoss, now with 43 top-tens on the year, started third on the A-Main grid, launching preliminary competition with a heat race victory.
As hinted, Zearfoss’ back half of 2025 has been productive to say the least, securing two victories since Labor Day, one of which Williams Grove Speedway’s Billy Kimmel Memorial. Each of the aforementioned victories were attained aboard Rich Eichelberger’s Lobar Inc. No. 8.
“Another solid effort for this team. Lincoln has never been a regular destination for us, but to come out of there with a top-ten is always special. I think we were better than where we finished, but we’ll regroup and do it again soon,” Brock Zearfoss, backed by Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness, said. “The plan is to visit BAPS this weekend in our own Brock Zearfoss Racing 3Z.

HEADLINES GALORE: Doney-Lawson Racing joins best in High Limit start at
Lucas Oil; Xavier Doney excited to head Down Under and enter Chili Bowl
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 20, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (October 20, 2025) – Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars did their best to beat the best Wednesday evening at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, and although they were unable to attain the evening’s top achievement, their results were special in their own right, concluding the High Limit Racing Roto-Rooter Midweek Series program with a 13th-place finish after starting one position back.
Doney, the ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No 74 sprinter who calls Odessa, Missouri, home, launched his evening with the national travelers with the 11th-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish fifth in his respective heat race. The eventual 13th-place outcome concluded his 2025 efforts with High Limit, as the Series eventually concluded their campaign at Texas Motor Speedway October 17-18.
Speaking of Texas Motor Speedway, Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing will get their turn at the Fort Worth facility in a few, short weeks, capping the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League schedule with a doubleheader on Friday and Saturday, November 7-8. Doney will roll into the Lone Star State third in the POWRi season championship, padded by 17 top-tens including two victories. Xavier’s youngster sister and teammate, Natalie Doney, will also be in action in Fort Worth, Texas. The young lady is currently 11th in the POWRi championship with one top-ten to her credit.
With all other news considered, Xavier Doney is pleased to announce that, not only will be he entering the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals with three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Sammy Swindell, as a teammate, but in addition, the recently turned 20-year-old is heading Down Under, set to make an appearance at the Perth Motorplex in High Limit Racing’s international program on December 28-30. The richest event in Australia history will award $110,000-to-win.

CASHING IN THEIR CHIPS: Aaron Reutzel and RSR close out
2025 High Limit season second in owner championship
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 20, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (October 20, 2025) – It was a season to remember for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), and despite all of the ups and downs including a midyear driver substitution as the result of Reutzel’s foot injury, the team persevered, capping off their 2025 High Limit Racing campaign with a runner-up finish in the Owner Championship, falling by mere-45 markers to Rico Abreu’s Rico Abreu Racing.
Reutzel, a former multi-time All Star Circuit of Champions champion who calls Clute, Texas, home, concluded the High Limit Racing season with three starts in four days, finishing no worse than eighth in his tour of the Central Time Zone, all of which culminating with back-to-back top-tens (sixth and eighth) in Texas Motor Speedway’s High Limit Racing season finale on October 17-18.
Reutzel’s season highlight reel is extensive, but perhaps his most rewarding achievement, literally, was Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial worth $100,000. “A-Aron” is certainly no stranger to high stakes at the Port Royal, Pennsylvania, half-mile, winning the speedway’s coveted Tuscarora 50, as well, a feat accomplished in 2019.
As noted, RSR was forced to take on a mid-season driver substitution as the result of Reutzel’s foot injury sustained in Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal week. Justin Sanders, a native of California, filled the void for Brian and Lisa Ridge, winning two rounds of action including a Gold Cup Race of Champions preliminary at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California.
“It was a season to remember, nonetheless, and Lisa and I couldn’t be more proud,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “This entire team worked to the edge and back, and although our goal was to win a team title, to finish second is pretty special, especially considering the hoops we had to jump through. Congratulations to Rico Abreu and his entire team. They were almost perfect from start to finish, so hats off to them. As far as RSR, we’re excited for what the future brings. Only great things are ahead.
“To our friends, family, and team partners, we thank you,” Ridge added. “It takes an army to keep a team competitive, and fortunately for us, we’re surrounded by great people.”
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel are unsure of coming plans. More
news to be released in the coming days.

WATERS RETURNS TO OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN WITH FIRM GOALS
October 19, 2025 - Las Vegas, Nevada - When 21-yeat-old Grantsville, Utah
driver Natalie Waters arrives at this year’s Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown
Presented by askROI, she will do so with an extra bit of confidence. She is
coming off her career best winged sprint car finish and will bring a band
new Big Willy Chassis with her to this year’s November 6-8, 2025, race at
the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Waters has yet to make the OWS winged sprint car A-main, but she’s been awfully close on both occasions, only missing the cut-off by one or two positions at most. She admits her confidence is high entering this year’s event.
“We qualified fifth at this year’s Pink Lady Classic in Meridian, Idaho against the same guys, and that was huge” explains Waters. “We’re really excited to get back down there with this new car. It’s nothing but the best. Will’s (Big Willy Chassis builder) helped us a lot. With this new motor, it’s definitely a stronger motor than what we’ve had in the past. Being able to go there without motor issues and not having to figure things out in our third year there, our confidence is high heading into OWS with this car and new motor.”
“A couple of years ago I was in a transfer spot and blew my motor. Then after I blew the motor, a guy comes running down and tells me I got the provisional. But I couldn’t race because we didn’t have a motor. This last year the top six transferred and I finished seventh. The thing that sucked was that the first-place guy was so far ahead I didn’t see him. When I was counting cars, I thought I was sixth and in the show. When I got to the pits everyone was telling me I was so close. That was a little bit of heartbreak to find out we finished seventh. Weve been so close every year.”
Waters ventured up to Vancouver Island, Canada for the Neil Montgomery Memorial at Saratoga Speedway in August. When the dust had settled, she found herself with a podium finish in the richest pavement sprint car race in Canada, further enhancing her confidence this year.
“We hauled all the way up to Vancouver Island, had to take the ferry and do all that fun stuff. We struggled at first but got things figured out. We qualified good. The way they do the pill draw we ended up starting on the outside of the front row.”
“It poured rain all weekend, so we didn’t get much track time. That track is really tricky. It reminds me of a road course. It’s got a weird dog leg and has a wall around the inside. You can’t really see the exit of the corner. I held my line and followed the guy in front of me. He’s a local driver with a lot of laps there. On a restart I kind of messed up and got passed and finished third. Finishing on the podium was a cool moment for me.”
In addition to on-track success, Waters races for a cause. She is a spokeswoman for ‘Racing to end Bullying’. She uses racing to bring awareness and raise money for the cause.
“We wanna make the show this year. That would be huge for
us. You watch these long-distance sprint car races every year, and it
becomes a survival game. Just to make the show and finish would be a really
good start for us. Staying on the lead lap would be huge. Running top five,
and then top three, would be our next goals. I’m really excited for this
year” concluded Waters.
Waters acknowledged her participation in this year’s OWS would not be
possible if not for a handful of individuals. Her Wickless Sensations Sprint
Car Team wishes to thank Wickless Sensations, Sorenson Construction, Idaho
Powder Coating, and Big Willy Chassis.

HOAG MEMORIAL TO CLOSE 2025 CRSA SEASON WITH
$4000-TO-WIN, $300-TO-START SHOW
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – October 15, 2025
DUNDEE, N.Y. – This Saturday, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints raise the stakes once again with a $4000-to-win, $300-to-start show at Tyler Siri’s Outlaw Speedway in the Hoag Memorial.
This event is part of a doubleheader weekend challenge alongside the Empire Super Sprints, in which a driver has the opportunity to win $ 13000 this weekend. Should a driver win the ESS feature Friday (also $4000 to win) and the CRSA feature Saturday, they will receive a $5000 bonus.
Those who plan to run both nights will receive two free pit passes for CRSA Saturday, provided they compete Friday. Additionally, anyone who runs with a temporary membership will have their fees waived.
This is the third time the CRSA Sprints have been held at the 4/10-mile track in 2025. CRSA kicked off its 20th anniversary in April and saw Jeff Trombley pick up a record-breaking 15th career win. Last August, Jordan Hutton, who finished runner-up to Trombley, scored a victory of his own.
Action this Saturday can be seen live on The Cushion.
Here’s a look at the top stories.
Format: CRSA has announced the format for Saturday's running of the Hoag Memorial, similar to the New York 305 Nationals at Woodhull.
With pill draw and motor heats kicking off the program as always, timed hot laps will follow. Drivers will qualify within their group using a split format to set the lineups for heats. Times will only be against cars in a driver’s group.
The top four in the lineup will invert before the green flag for 10-lap heats. The top four or five will transfer, depending on the car count, with the winner and fastest timer in each group advancing to a redraw for dash spots. The dash will be eight laps. The rest will lineup heads-up in the A and B mains.
The last-chance qualifier will be 12 laps, with the top two fastest time trialers who did not qualify on the front ahead of those in heads-up. The top four will transfer to the 30-lap feature.
Sobotka’s Spotlight: With this race being show-up points only, as long as Zach Sobotka draws a pill and attempts to fire his car for hot laps, he will be crowned the 2025 CRSA Sprints champion and be the first rookie champion since John Virgilio in 2011.
In his first full season running sprint cars, Sobotka picked up five wins in 2025 at Utica-Rome, Fulton, Woodhull, Brewerton and Land of Legends. Every race Sobotka participated in resulted in a top-10 finish, with the worst finish being ninth. Sobotka's 18 top fives are also the most anyone has recorded in a season of CRSA competition.
Outside of CRSA, Sobotka made his debut with the World of Outlaws and finished eighth at Weedsport and also won his first career Empire Super Sprints feature at Brewerton.
Double Duty? Opportunity for More Money: Many drivers are accepting the challenge to compete in both sprint car events. Those that run double duty will be placed in a separate points fund, depending on which engine is used Friday, either the 360 or the 305. The top five in each points fund will range from $1000 to win, down to $100 for fifth place. If someone wins both nights, they are not eligible for the point fund.
By the Numbers: Seven different drivers have found victory lane at 82 Main. 32 different drivers have finished in the top five, with Dalton Herrick leading the way with four, followed by Tomy Moreau and Jordan Hutton with three. Just around 10 active drivers, or so, have finished in the top five.
From the Frontman: “The 20th season of CRSA has gone by very quick. We’ve had an incredible year of racing, featuring everything from car counts and loyalty giveaways to shows with over $1000 to win, and more. We can’t thank enough the drivers, their teams and our sponsors for their support in 2025! Looking forward to ending the season with a bang!”
Up Next: CRSA Sprints will celebrate the year with its annual awards banquet at Vernon Downs Casino Hotel Dec. 6.

ZNR Overcoming Challenges of Building a 410 Program,
Forging Ahead With 2026 Prep
Millerstown, PA – October 16, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Zach Newlin and his family have been patiently and diligently working to build their own 410 sprint car program over the past two seasons. It has been a challenging and often frustrating undertaking, but it is also a journey that has the potential to be one of the Millerstown, Pennsylvania team’s most rewarding experiences in racing.
Unfortunately, Newlin’s 2025 season ended abruptly and prematurely with a bent race car. The good news is, he and the team had made a breakthrough that night before the crash and went into the offseason with optimism for the future. More on that in a bit.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Newlin and his family’s decision to resurrect their team in 2023 came on the heels of opportunities to drive winged 410 sprint cars for a few other owners from late 2020 through mid-2022.
The popular driver known as ‘Zach Daddy’ had some high points in those rides, the foremost being making his first World of Outlaws A-main, which came at Port Royal Speedway in the Allan Pryde No.29 in 2021.
During the offseason following the 2022 season, Newlin and his family, who had previously fielded successful 305 and 358 sprint car programs, decided it was time to control their own destiny. Despite knowing it would be an uphill battle, both financially and competitively, it was the path that was calling them.
“We built our own 305 sprint car team and had a lot of success. We had a lot of fun doing it, too. When we decided to go 358 racing, it wasn’t as simple as a bigger motor. There was a learning curve, but we managed to win a race in our first year,” Newlin said.
“We knew building a 410 team would be the hardest thing we’ve ever done in racing.”
Newlin’s racing resume is a solid one. He has been racing for over 25 years, and he has been successful from go-karts to micro sprints to full-size sprint cars.
In 358 sprint car competition from 2020 to 2023, Newlin has won twice at Williams Grove Speedway and earned the track’s Rookie of the Year honors in 2020. In that rookie year, which consisted of eleven races, Newlin finished in the top ten an impressive eight times.
In 305 sprint cars from 2015 to 2019, Newlin is a 2-time PA Sprint Series Champion, a 2-time PA RaceSaver IMCA Champion, and a 4-time BAPS Motor Speedway Champion. In addition, he amassed 15 wins and 100 top-ten finishes during those seasons.
STRATEGIC CHOICES
“We have always made the most of what we had. We have never had the budget to have top-of-the-line stuff at any level, but we have been successful because we worked hard, took care of our equipment, and made smart choices,” Newlin shared.
Newlin not only has a day job, but he also owns his own business, Newlin Bar Service, which offers titanium torsion arms, torsion bar dyno testing, and exclusive cleaning tools for sprint cars and micro sprints. While all of that is going well, the economic times have left him with a little business debt to prioritize, which means less funds are available for racing.
“I won’t run myself or anyone into the ground financially to race more,” Newlin said.
“We pick and choose when and where we race to make sure every time we unload, we are going to add the most value to growing our program. We need to maximize laps to make progress.”
Newlin’s engine is down on horsepower compared to the top teams, so he has to factor that in when picking his battles. He is always looking at track schedules and sizing up each event to determine his team’s potential to make laps and money.
“All the internal engine parts are new, but the block is twenty years old, and the heads are pretty old too. It’s not a bad engine by any means, but it’s limited on how much it can produce,” Newlin said.
Sure, the number of race nights he can take on is limited by budget, but even a larger contribution from a sponsor wouldn’t necessarily mean adding races to his schedule.
Newlin’s team is also limited because there are so few shows available these days that fit the criteria for teams like his. For example, they have to consider expected field sizes that provide a reasonable chance to make the feature, plus they have to weigh their odds based on the start money and tow money offered by the track.
“We have to look at all the factors before we decide to go racing. We can’t just go because we want to. We have to race smart right now until we can build this thing up,” Newlin explained.
“If we had the funding to buy some new components like a rear end and wheels, that would make a big difference. We often race on used tires to save money, so funds to buy new tires would be helpful, of course. Our suspension, the shocks, bars, and arms are up to date, but it would help a lot to upgrade those other components.”
Newlin noted that the team is definitely looking for additional marketing partners for 2026, but was clear that more funding would not necessarily mean adding races to the team’s schedule. Upgrading components and racing on new tires when it makes sense would definitely help improve their performance, but the team’s ability to add races would require a much larger influx of funds to help change the factors in the decision process they currently have to go through to choose when and where to race.
COMING TOGETHER
Zach and his crew chief, brother Lance Newlin, wrestled with their Butler Hill Maple Farm, Ron’s RV Sales No.11z throughout 2025, tinkering with the setup, motor, and everything in between to find the right combination. It seemed nothing helped the car reach the potential they felt it could.
Finally, good news. At Port Royal Speedway on August 30th, they made a discovery about their fueling system. It only took a few laps to confirm they were onto something.
The bad news? Now they would go back to square one to find the right setup for the newfound RPMs.
“We discovered an issue with our pill selector. The engine not running properly impacts the setup. We chased the setup, but now we know that was never going to really solve the problem,” Newlin explained.
“Most of the year, our setup was off and we were down horsepower, but we were still running decent lap times. With just this fueling issue resolved, I’m confident we will have the speed we need to be more competitive in 2026. When we get the setup dialed in on top of that, we can be in position to make more shows and race for top-15’s and top 10’s consistently.”
“We know we can’t win races with the engine and components we have, but those are realistic goals if we get the most out of our equipment at the shows we choose to run.”
FORGING AHEAD
As we mentioned, Newlin crashed out of his last race in 2025, but just one month later, preparations for 2026 are well underway. The team purchased an RPM chassis with less than twenty races on it to replace the one that was bent in the season-ending crash in September. Newlin has already had the frame painted, installed the XC Gear Monkey Bars system, and mounted his seat.
The XC Gear Monkey Bars system is an anti-vibration race seat mount that is specifically intended to reduce injuries. It is designed to lessen the effect of constant vibration on the driver and to mitigate high-impact forces during a crash.
The team’s engine will soon be on its way to Hershey Racing Engines to be looked over and ensure it is ready for 2026. Meanwhile, they will begin to assemble their car, going over every component thoroughly, replacing what they have to, and upgrading what they are able to.
Newlin stuck close to home at Port Royal and Selinsgrove Speedways in 2025 for two reasons. First, those two tracks offered the best opportunities for him to get laps and make money. Second, the team’s truck wasn’t ideal for traveling very far. The team will have a better truck in 2026, so that would allow them to go a little further from home, if it makes sense to do so based on other factors.
Another positive note regarding the 2026 season is that the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car is expected to return to competition with Newlin at the wheel. The 21m team sat out the balance of 2025 after car owner Dan Mansberger lost his battle with cancer. Dan wanted the team to continue without him, so his son, Nathan, will oversee the team to ensure that happens.
“I love racing with those guys (Mansberger Motorsports) and I can’t wait to get back to the track with them. Dan was such a good guy, and we miss him. I was so happy to get his car back to victory lane, and we are going to do everything we can to do it again,” Newlin said.

After a Week in Yosemite, Brody Roa Heads Back to Battle at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Cypress, CA – October 12, 2025 — After a week of camping and
recharging with his wife and daughters in the majestic Yosemite National
Park, a rejuvenated Brody Roa is ready to get back behind the wheel when the
Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto
Speedway this Saturday, October 18th. For Roa, it’s the first of three races
in four weeks at the legendary Riverside County half-mile oval.
Saturday’s showdown comes just two weeks after another impressive performance from the veteran racer at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, where he earned his second In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger award of the season. The Garden Grove, California star has a special connection with Mohave. It is the site of one of the most thrilling victories of his career, when he stormed from 11th to win a 30-lap USAC/CRA main event in dominating fashion on October 8, 2022.
At the same track two weeks ago, Roa qualified 14th out of 28 cars with a lap of 14.549. He then piloted his immaculate #91R sprint car to a convincing victory in the first heat race of the night. It was his fifth USAC/CRA heat race win of 2025.
True to form, Roa started deep in the feature but wasted no time charging through the pack. In the 30-lap main event, the 34-year-old methodically picked off eight competitors to claim a hard-earned sixth-place finish.
So far this season in his own #91R machine, Roa has started nine main events, finishing in the top ten every time except for one. That came in June at Perris in a race that he had just taken the lead before being sidelined by misfortune. His 2025 stats include three top-five finishes and a season-best third at Perris three weeks ago.
At Perris this year, Roa’s average main event finish is a solid 7.28. Remove the race he was knocked out of, and that number improves to an impressive 5.66. That fine number offers proof that “The Pride of Garden Grove” is as fast and focused as ever heading into Saturday night’s return to the “Southern California Home of USAC/CRA.”
Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking (payment for parking is by card only).
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks Join USAC/CRA Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris
Perris, California — October 13, 2025 — The 2025 racing season at Perris Auto Speedway charges into the home stretch this Saturday night, October 18th, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to headline an action-packed card that also features the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks. Spectator gates for the thrilling night of high-speed dirt track racing and family fun open at 5:00 PM, with the first green flag waving at 7:00.
The 29th season at the popular Riverside County half-mile clay oval is winding down with just five races to go. The USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars will be in action this Saturday, October 18th, November 1st, and November 8th. LKQ Pick Your Part will present the final two Nights of Destruction on October 18th and November 22nd.
Going into the last Super Stock race on September 27th, it had been the year of Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker. The four-time track champion was still chasing his first win of the season but had finished runner-up in the first four races and built a comfortable points lead. However, disaster struck that night, taking Becker out early and opening the door for Banning’s Ricky Lee. The 2023 Super Stock champ capitalized with a big win and now trails Becker by only three points heading into Saturday’s showdown.
Victorville’s Rick Arringdale, a former PAS stock car champ in 1998 and 2001, sits third in the standings. Beaumont’s Steven Welch and Bakersfield’s second-generation racer Billy Simkins round out the top five.
In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Riverside’s Shawn Estes, the 2012 class champion, has been unbeatable in 2025—sweeping every heat and main event so far this season. That perfect record has earned him a commanding 22-point lead over George Leventis of Palos Verdes with three races remaining. Estes’ son in law, Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda, ranks third. He is followed by Ohio transplant Evan Sennett of Riverside and 2021 champion Brandon Kelly, who are ranked fourth and fifth.
On the USAC/CRA side, Laveen, Arizona’s RJ Johnson—the defending series champion—has found his groove, winning the last two main events at The PAS. Those back-to-back victories, his only USAC/CRA wins of the season, have helped him stretch his lead to 65 points over Oxnard’s Ricky Lewis with five races left (three at Perris and two next week at Central Arizona Raceway). Lewis, who led the standings for much of the year, still tops the win chart with eight triumphs in 2025. Four of his wins have came in the first eight races at Perris.
“The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams of Corona, San Diego’s AJ Bender, and Yucaipa’s Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm complete the top five.
Saturday’s tickets are $35.00 for those 13 years old and over. Kids (6–12) get in for $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, but plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available at the gate.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Earn 15th Win of 2025
Season with Wingless Triumph at Selinsgrove Speedway
Selinsgrove, PA – October 13, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tony Jackson and the Scott Hess Racing team continued their dominant 2025 campaign this past weekend, capturing their 15th victory of the season with an impressive wingless feature win at Selinsgrove Speedway.
Jackson started the night with determination, charging from his fifth-place starting spot in the heat race to take the win, securing the third starting position for the evening’s 20-lap main event. When the green flag dropped, Jackson fell back a spot. However, by lap six, he had worked himself into the lead, and he never looked back, taking the checkered flag in convincing fashion.
“We fell back as far as fourth early in things, but we just worked ourselves back to the front around lap six,” said Jackson. “The track was in really good shape and things went nonstop, so once we got to the lead it was just my job not to mess it up.”
The triumph marks another highlight in what has been a standout year for Jackson and the Scott Hess Racing team. As the 2025 season nears its conclusion — and with Jackson preparing to step away from full-time competition — every race has taken on added significance.
The team will take the upcoming weekend off, but they have two more events remaining on their 2025 schedule before Jackson officially retires from the sport.
“We have two races left on the schedule, and when you look at how the weather has been, it’s kind of starting to sink in that this could be the last one,” he said. “I’m trying to soak in each race, win as many as we can, and just take it all in every time we hit the track.”
With 15 wins already under their belt, Jackson and the Scott
Hess Racing team aim to finish their storybook season — and Jackson’s career
— on the highest possible note.
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

Big Money On The Line in ESS Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue
(Dundee, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints are set to take the track on Friday at the Outlaw Speedway. As part of the annual Hoag Memorial weekend, Fridays main event will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start, with $100 of tow money offered to drivers that don’t make the show. Fridays event is also part of a two day challenge. Saturday, the CRSA 305 sprints will take the track in another $4,000 to win affair, and a $5,000 bonus has been put up for any driver that wins on Friday in 360 competition with the Empire Super Sprints and Saturday in 305 competition with the CRSA Sprints. If successful, one driver could leave the weekend with $13,000. Two separate point funds have been set aside this weekend as well, one for any driver that competes Friday in a 360 and Saturday in a 305, along with one for any driver that competes in a 305 both nights. As Fridays event is an Empire Super Sprints sanctioned event, all cars competing will need to adhere to the ESS rulebook, including having front axle tethers and running an HTC plated Medium 1 tire. Cars competing in the Saturday portion will similarly need to adhere to the CRSA rulebook. Leading the charge into the weekend is Jordan Thomas, who picked up the Empire Super Sprints win back in September at the Outlaw Speedway. Thomas is expected to have a 305 under the hood Saturday as well, in hopes of taking home the $13,000 if he can complete the weekend sweep. As the 2025 points season concluded two weeks ago at the Fulton Speedway where Jordan Poirier was crowned the champion, Friday’s event at Outlaw will not award points and the standings are considered final. Gate times, prices, a schedule of events and any other pertinent information for this weekend’s activities can be found on the Empire Super Sprints, CRSA Sprints and Outlaw Speedway social media pages, along with each organizations web pages.

National Champs To Go Head To Head
By Phil Michell Motorsport Media
For the second time this season the Wingless Sprints will
feature at the Murray Machining and Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway with 36
drivers nominated for the October 18 event. The list includes 9 of the top
10 drivers from the opening night’s feature event along with several
high-profile additions, including the current Australian Champion Tyson
Martin and regular feature winner Jack McCarthy. But they will have to work
hard for the win this weekend as they missed gaining some valuable early
season track time but having said that Martin is coming off a trip north to
Darwin and McCarthy dominated the Speedcar events at the venue over the
October long weekend.
Following his victory on night 1 dual National Champion Joel
Chadwick will be looking to build on his successful debut driving for Andrew
and Lyn May and he will be determined to get an early season win over the
defending Australian Champion. Rylan Furler will be another to watch as he
will be hoping to go one spot better than his last start after leading for a
majority of the opening A-Main. Mildura’s Jordon Bolitho will be another
major contender after an impressive outing last start, which included two
heat wins and a podium feature result.
Regular front runner Jack McCarthy is set for a busy night
as he is entered to compete in Caleb Evans' second Wingless Sprint and his
own LS Powered Sprintcar, so he will get plenty of laps on Saturday night.
Despite the fact he will be jumping between cars throughout the night
McCarthy has the talent to have a successful night in both classes.
After missing the opening night at Murray Bridge several
other drivers will join Martin and McCarthy in their season debut on
Saturday including Melissa Crouch, who recently recorded a podium finish in
Speedcar competition at Murray Bridge, local Murray Bridge racer Brett
Ireland, who will drive one of the Pitcher Racing entries, young live-wire
Thomas Norvill and Harley Alexander.
The impressive line-up also includes Michael Spoljaric,
Robert Heard, Darryl Sloan, James Rodda, Ross Miller and rookie Hayden
Mason, who will all be hoping to build on their early season top 10 results
while Sam Martin, Tate Cowie, Kaitlyn Vickers, Jesse Alexander and Thomas
Walkom will all be optimistic about bouncing back from a tough season
opener.
The action throughout the heats will be at a maximum, with
36 cars nominated the heat fields will be at capacity with 12 car races, the
largest grid size allowed as written in the AWSR rule book. The six heat
races will be followed by a B-Main and a 25-lap finale.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Post Podium at New Egypt Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports highlighted last weekend with its 37th podium performance of the season on Friday at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J.
David Gravel guided the team to its 22nd quick time of the season with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series before winning a heat race and maneuvering from sixth to third place in the dash.
“We were hitting on all eight every time we hit the track,” he said. “We had a bad dash draw, but we were able to get to the second row. I felt we’d have a shot to win that race. It never worked out, but we ran a solid third.”
Gravel ran third throughout the feature for his 54th top-five result of the season.
The team ventured to Lincoln Speedway on Saturday.
“It started great going quick time in our group,” he said. “We won a heat race and won the dash. The wheels fell off about Lap 6 in the feature. I tried to limp it the end, but didn’t make it. The clamp that holds the magneto on the engine broke so the magneto turned and either severely retarded or advanced the timing. The motor ran hot and ended up failing. It was a stupid, cheap part failure and something you couldn’t prevent.”
Gravel suffered a DNF approximately one third of the way through the 35-lap feature, leaving him with a 26th-place result. The team’s points lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings was cut to 106 points with eight races remaining this season.
“It sucks,” he said. “You work all year to gain 10 points or 20 points. To lose 42 points in one night is definitely something you never want to happen. Two mechanical issues this year have put us down. We have to come back and come out swinging this weekend and have three good runs.”
Next is a three-race weekend with World of Outlaws shows on Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind., for the Putnamville Showdown; on Saturday at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., for the LaSalle Showdown; and on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., for the Badger State Triple.
“I haven’t been to Lincoln Park in a long time,” Gravel said. “It’s a super tight track with a big cushion. The last time I was there we ran good with the Outlaws. I don’t really know much about LaSalle. I don’t remember racing there. And Angell Park, it’s been a while since I’ve been there, too.”
Gravel finished second during his most recent visit to Lincoln Park Speedway in 2016. In 2013, he ran eighth the last time he competed at LaSalle Speedway. Gravel placed fourth in 2016 during his last race at Angell Park Speedway.

Kaleb Johnson Battles Adversity On and Off Track During Tough Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson fought adversity throughout last weekend in the Northeast.
Johnson and Team DGRD were unable to compete in a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series event on Friday at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J., because of a trailer problem. The team then battled through the learning woes on Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.
“The first time we went there we struggled with the rotation of the race car and this time we had a little too much,” Johnson said. “I didn’t qualify well. I was running in a decent spot in the heat race and screwed up. I drove it in too hot into turn three and spun out. I had just passed for eighth. I was frustrated, but at the end of the day I’m trying to get the laps to be competitive. I chalk it up as a learning experience.”
Johnson, who qualified 17th quickest in his group and placed 11th in a heat race, rallied from 10th to sixth place in the C Main.
Another big weekend of learning is on tap as Johnson will make his debut at three tracks during a World of Outlaws tripleheader. The action begins on Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind., during the Putnamville Showdown. On Saturday, LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., hosts the LaSalle Showdown. The weekend wraps up on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., during the Badger State Triple.
“I’m looking forward to it because they are all shorter tracks and we’ve been decent on the shorter tracks,” Johnson said. “A main goal is to make the features and get as many laps as we can. That’s a good expectation. We’re getting out of our comfort zone and we want to maximize our learning.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 11 – Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa. – Qualifying: 17; Heat race: 11 (9); C Main: 6 (10).

Starks Holds High Expectations in Return to Trophy Cup
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Trey Starks will wrap up his season this weekend when he travels to California for the 31st annual Trophy Cup.
Starks, with the support of Kevin Rudeen and Rudeen Racing, is venturing to Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the marquee event that runs Thursday through Saturday.
“My results at Trophy Cup over the years have definitely varied,” he said. “The first time I went down to Trophy Cup we had a pretty good run. Since then, like Tulare can do, we got ate up a couple of times. We had some good runs and had some crashes. We didn’t have much consistency. Then I didn’t race there for several years.
“We had a good run last year. Between last year and racing at that track a couple of years ago for Dominic (Scelzi), we had good success. With that and taking our own package down there, I think we can have a lot of success over the weekend. Our 360 package is close to the top on the West Coast. Tulare is definitely different from Skagit, but I think we can make our racing package fit well there.”
Starks enjoyed a career-best Trophy Cup last year when he won the 50-lap finale and finished seventh in event points out of more than 60 competitors. It marked his first time at the event in seven years.
“I think the goal for this year is to be a contender to win the Cup come Saturday,” he said. “It’s a very unique race and usually the winner of the Cup isn’t necessarily in contention for the feature win on Saturday. It’s a race that requires you to race so hard the entire time. You are constantly fighting and passing cars. It’s cool because you don’t really know until the dust literally settles after the feature on Saturday who has won. The goal for us is to have solid runs and be in contention to win the Cup on Saturday night.”
Starks enters his season finale with 10 feature victories this season. That gives him double-digit wins for the second straight season and the fourth time in his career.
SEASON STATS –
33 races, 10 wins, 21 top fives, 25 top 10s, 28 top 15s, 30 top 20s

Dominic Scelzi Gearing Up for Trophy Cup a Year After Career-Best Outing at Event
Inside Line Promotions – ANTIOCH, Calif. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi is eager to tackle one of his favorite events of the season.
Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., hosts the 31st annual Trophy Cup this Thursday through Saturday.
“We’ve been very fast a lot of times at the event,” Scelzi said. “We’ve had great nights and great points finishes. But nothing is guaranteed and nothing is given. You just go there and hope that things go the right way.”
Scelzi’s best showing at the marquee event was last year when he ran second during the second preliminary night before charging from 22nd to eighth during the finale. That placed him second in the event standings – only three points out of the top spot out of more than 60 competitors.
“I’m hoping that we can have a good showing and we can do something special,” he said. “I’m going in there without any expectations. I’m going to show up and see what cards we are dealt. You just know you are going into a dogfight.”
Scelzi competed last Saturday at Antioch Speedway during a NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event. He qualified second quickest, won a heat race and placed second in the dash to start the main event on the outside of the front row.
“I was the second guy out to qualify and the track was still really greasy,” he said. “I held quick time for about halfway through, but it cleaned off and got faster. Then I won the heat race. I barely won the start of the dash and they sent me back a row saying I jumped the start. I got from third to second in it.
“I ran second the majority of the main event. We had a restart halfway through and I passed D.J. (Netto) for the lead, but we didn’t complete a lap so I restarted second. We went green again for about five laps and I was all over D.J. before we had another caution. On the restart I got into turn one, hit the curb the wrong way and off it went. I felt we had a car that was capable of winning, but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way for us. I’m happy we had speed.”
Scelzi was credited with a 12th-place result following the wreck.
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 11 – Antioch Speedway in Antioch, Calif. – Qualifying: 9; Heat race: 1 (2); Dash: 2 (1); Feature: 12 (2).
SEASON STATS –
51 races, 3 wins, 17 top fives, 35 top 10s, 42 top 15s, 46 top 20s

Paul Nienhiser Caps 2025 Season In Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA Getting in one final race for the season on Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway, Paul Nienhiser put an exclamation point on a very turbulent season that saw him miss three months to injury as he parked his PNR No. 9x mount in victory lane at the Ron Milton Race of Champions in front of a throng of family and friends.
“Last Saturday night we weren’t very good at Jacksonville, so Scott Bonar went to work all week to see if he could figure out where we were missing,” Nienhiser said. “He came up with a few things and it made a ton of difference.”
Drawing the front row for his heat race, Nienhiser lined up alongside MOWA Championship contender, Mario Clouser. With both drivers needing the win badly for event points, Nienhiser was able to get the jump as he went on to secure the win.
With a vibration hounding Nienhiser and the CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc./MB Heating and Cooling No. 9x, the team made the decision to swap out the rear-end and driveline prior to the feature event.
Able to make the changes Nienhiser’s family did the deed of drawing him the two pill for the redraw, and he was on the front row of the feature event.
When the field was shown the green flag, the Chapin, IL mashed the throttle and showcased a very strong Buffalo Wild Wings/T&K Tree Services backed entry. Simply able to put his car anywhere on the speedway to make grip, Nienhiser looked very solid out front and showed no signs of rust.
Despite losing a right-rear wheel cover and dealing with the vibration of a packed wheel, Nienhiser went on the score the win convincingly.
“It was just the perfect way to cap off a really tough year,” Paul Nienhiser added. “The last couple of seasons have really put us through the ringer with tragedy and hardship, and even on Friday night one of my close friends suffered a heart attack post race, but fortunately he is on the road to recovery. With it marking the end to our season, I really want to take the opportunity to thank my family, friends, fans, and marketing partners for all of the encouragement to get back racing after the injury. I also want to thank all of the guys who do such an incredible job on both the No. 9x and the No. 50- Scott Bonar, Greg Ford, Caleb Wankle, Drake Willhite, Weston Crews, Travis Pence, Zac Houtz, Tony Gaylord, Tom Griffin, and Eldon Stocker.
Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer, Dekalb/Asgrow, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-19, Wins-7, Top 5’s-12, Top 10’s-14

Part Failure Hinders Andy Forsberg at Petaluma Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making one final trip of 2025 to Petaluma Speedway on Saturday night to take part in the track’s season finale, Andy Forsberg looked to be on his way to his 11th win of the season until a part failure late in the race dashed those hopes.
“Petaluma Speedway always does it pretty big for their finale and it was great to get down there and see a really good crowd on hand,” Andy Forsberg said. “We had a really good car, but we had a radius rod stud break, and ended our night.”
Timing the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in fourth fastest in qualifying, the Auburn, CA driver lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Taking advantage of a mishap in front of him, Forsberg was able to pick up the win and lock himself into the redraw.
Pulling the one, Forsberg got the jump when the race came to life and started to pull away from the field and soon found traffic despite the low car count.
Getting into traffic, Forsberg checked up as he navigated slower traffic and it allowed Chance Grasty to power his way into the top spot.
Chasing after Grasty, Forsberg was able to pounce as Grasty got too tight and he reclaimed the race lead.
Clicking off laps out front, Forsberg felt something let go in his front end and was able to get whoa’d up before making contact with the wall.
“It was a fun night despite the DNF,” Forsberg said. “Just a really cool atmosphere at the track and that always makes such a difference in these nights.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 46, Wins-10, Top 5’s-24, Top 10’s-30
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are idle this weekend and return on action on 10/25 at Marysville Raceway for the Spooktacular.

THE FINAL LUNGE: Aaron Reutzel and RSR to close out High Limit Racing
campaign with starts at Lucas Oil and Texas Motor Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 13, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (October 13, 2025) – And it all comes down to this.
Despite only three starts remaining on the 2025 High Limit Racing campaign, “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) are well within striking distance, trailing Rico Abreu and Rico Abreu Racing by a mere 20 markers in the High Limit Owners Championship – a crown carrying a $250,000 potential. Reutzel, who calls Clute, Texas, home, will roll into the final three events with a recent top-five sweep to his credit, finishing no worse than fourth in a two-day visit to Kansas City, Kansas.
“It all comes down to this,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Ridge & Sons Racing, Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “Can’t say enough about this team and what they’ve been able to accomplish, and overcome. Even with Aaron [Reutzel] out to injury, everyone came together and persevered. Justin [Sanders] did a fantastic job for this race team and we wouldn’t be in this owners hunt without him. I’m confident we have what it takes to get to the top of the championship by Saturday night.”
As noted, it was a productive weekend in Kansas City for Reutzel and RSR, eventually capping the Heartland of America Showdown at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, with a runner-up and fourth-place finish, respectively. The two-day outcome not only kept Reutzel within championship striking distance, but it padded an incredible stat sheet for the team out of Knoxville, Iowa, now with a combined 50 top-tens on the year, 36 of which occurring within the top-five. Not to mention, Aaron Reutzel and mid-season substitute Justin Sanders have amassed 12 total victories.
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel will conclude their 2025 High
Limit Racing campaign with a midweek visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in

THAT’S A WRAP: TKS Motorsports concludes 2025 season with
High Limit at Lakeside
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 13, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (October 13, 2025) – For Troy and Tammy Renfro’s TKS Motorsports, the 2025 season is officially complete, and although the stat sheet reflects a trying year for the Mitchellville, Iowa-based open wheel program, there were plenty of shining moments, all of which reflecting hard work, perseverance, and most importantly, a positive attitude.
Capping their year, officially, TKS Motorsports and driver Ian Madsen made the tow to Kansas City, Kansas, joining High Limit Racing in the two-day Heartland of America Showdown at Lakeside Speedway on October 10-11. Despite missing main event competition on Friday, the team rebounded and made the most of their Saturday appearance, battling through the evening’s B-Main before rallying for a 15th-place feature score.
Madsen, who missed a large chunk of his TKS Motorsports assignment due to injury, rolled into Lakeside with a full head of steam, reuniting with the team by scoring a podium in Lee County Speedway’s Hawkeye Nationals featuring POWRi on Saturday, October 4. Madsen’s podium was just one of five top-fives for TKS Motorsports in 2025, ending the year with 11 top-tens total including a pair of runner-up performances at Jackson Motorplex and Knoxville Raceway; the runner-ups occurred in back-to-back weekends.
“An up and down year, for sure, but we’re proud of everyone…more than proud. The team stayed positive and worked hard through every obstacle and that’s more important than any statistic,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, Justice Brothers, Serenity Custom Woodworking, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “To our partners, fans, friends, and everyone else who stepped up to lend a hand this season, we thank you. We’re not exactly sure of our plan for 2026, but we’ll have something put together soon.”

TKS Motorsports will unveil news regarding 2026 in the coming weeks. Stay

Doney-Lawson Racing to rejoin High Limit Racing in Midweek stop at Lucas
Oil Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 13, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (October 13, 2025) – It was a hard-fought weekend in Kansas City for Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, and although the young man out of Odessa, Missouri, was unable to qualify for High Limit Racing main event competition on Saturday, October 11, Friday’s Heartland of America Showdown outcome at Lakeside Speedway was more than productive, eventually concluding his efforts with a Hard Charger Award.
Xavier Doney, ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter, earned the aforementioned Hard Charger Award with a seven-spot rally, concluding A-Main competition with a 13th-place finish from 20th on the grid. The Hard Charger Award pads an already impressive stat card for the now 20-year-old, who celebrated his birthday over the weekend, a stat card that includes two POWRi victories, most recently at 34 Raceway in late August.
Three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Sammy Swindell, was also in on the action at Lakeside Speedway, not only joining Doney-Lawson Racing in a second car, but resuming his role as team mentor. Swindell went on to qualify for each of the High Limit Racing main events.
Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will resume action rather quickly, set to rejoin High Limit Racing in a midweek visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Wednesday, October 15.

Whittall, ace of his own RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, finished ninth in his top-ten effort, climbing ahead from 13th on the A-Main grid. The Vincentown, New Jersey, wheelman qualified for the evening’s 30-lap finale via fifth-place finish in his respective heat.
Although the World of Outlaws will not return to New Jersey in 2025, action in the Garden State is far from over, as the 410 sprinters will make their return to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, for the annual Dirty Jersey Finale on Friday and Saturday, October 31 and November 1.
Whittall is the defending Dirty Jersey Finale champion.
“It was great to race with the Outlaws in our home state. We don’t have a ton of opportunities to race in New Jersey, period, so we try to take advantage of every opportunity given,” Whittall expressed. “We have a little bit of time off before we race again at Bridgeport. We were fortunate enough to win the Dirty Jersey Finale last year, so it’s our goal to repeat.”

Dietrich, a 12-time winner in 2025, is certainly no stranger to success at the Selinsgrove half-mile, actually sweeping the facility’s double feature program on Friday, August 15.
As hinted, it was a mechanical woe that hurt Dietrich’s potential at Lincoln, surrendering with just 17 of 30 laps recorded.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (October 13, 2025) - The month of October
has been a touch sour for Kerry Madsen and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian
Racing (TSR), forced to highlight their most recent stretch through the
country’s Mid-Atlantic with a 16th-place outcome at Lincoln Speedway in
Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, October 11. Despite some rough and
tough luck, the “Madman” is regrouped and ready to rock, set to rejoin TSR
in a Midwest triple beginning Friday, October 17, at Lincoln Park Speedway
in Putnamville, Indiana.
As noted, Madsen, ace of Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Advance
Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and
Carts, No. 15 sprint car, highlighted his recent stretch with a 16th-place
outing at Lincoln, but contrary to the stat card, things were on pace to be
much greater. In fact, on Friday at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, New
Jersey, Madsen carried a top-ten potential the entire evening, actually
lining up eighth after finishing third in his respective heat race. It was
an on-track incident that canceled said potential, eventually returning to
the speedway to be scored 21st.
Madsen and TSR will roll into Lincoln Park as the sixth-best team in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series standings padded by a combined 33 top-tens, one of which a recent podium by Madsen in New Mexico.
ON DECK:
Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will continue their 2025 World of Outlaws

Russell Motorsports partners with Kyle Larson for Hangtown 100 in November
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. is pleased to announce it has entered a partnership with former NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Larson for the annual Hangtown 100 moving forward at Placerville Speedway.
Both nights on Friday and Saturday November 14th and 15th will continue to showcase the popular USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets. Rounding out the card at the event and sure to bring thrills of their own will be the Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints.
“We are excited to continue growing the Hangtown 100 and working with Kyle Larson to make that happen,” commented Placerville Speedway Scott Russell. “Matt Wood had the original vision of getting the Hangtown 100 going and I want to thank him for making it possible, because without Matt it wouldn’t have even happened. Moving into the future, he is allowing us to take things over by partnering with Kyle.”
In 2007, at the ripe young age of 14, Larson competed in his first career Sprint Car race at Placerville Speedway and earned his initial victory at the track that same season. The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based facility was also where the Elk Grove, California native wrapped up his Golden State KWS-NARC Series title in 2010.
Larson won’t just be co-promoter of the Hangtown 100, he will also be competing in the race, searching for a third career win at the event. He spoke about the new partnership with RMI.
"It’s really special to be part of an event that means so much to me. Placerville Speedway is a place where my family and I grew up going to, not just as fans, but to race. Teaming up with Scott and Kami to continue growing this event is incredibly important to me, and I’m excited to not only help promote, but also to compete!"
The inaugural running of the Hangtown 100 in 2019 saw Larson capture a thrilling victory in both the 100-lap feature and the overall points, taking home $32,000 for his efforts. The 33-year-old returned in 2023 to perform the same feat. With last season’s rainout, he will go into next month as the defending winner of the event.
Larson began this season by earning another triumph at the Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is currently locked in another championship battle for the NASCAR Cup title.
As noted, long-time car owner and midget enthusiast Matt Wood brought about the idea of starting the Hangtown 100 and shared his thoughts on the event moving forward.
“The Hangtown 100 has been one of the best ideas I’ve ever had. Having someone with Kyle’s passion for the sport and willing to take it to the next level is the best thing that could happen. Congrats to Kyle and his team. I am excited to see where the HT 100 ends up.”
Bixby, Oklahoma’s Cannon McIntosh, who has been getting Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the championship standings.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to Perris After Another Top-10 Finish
Chino Hills, CA — October 8, 2025 — After a brief break from competition, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will return to action when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series resumes on Saturday, October 18th, at Perris Auto Speedway. The event will mark the 22nd start of the season for the Chino Hills, California, racer and his ninth appearance of the year at the track closest to his home.
Tafoya, 28, heads into the night following another solid top-10 performance at the famed half mile on September 27th. On an evening when rain showers surrounded the facility and came within a mile of the oval, the driver of the eye-catching #51T qualified eighth quick with a lap of 17.066 seconds.
The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year went on to finish fifth in his heat race. In the 30-lap main event, he started in the eighth position and maintained his consistent form to finish in the same spot against a tough field of competitors.
In eight main event starts at Perris in 2025, the track’s 2018 Young Guns Champion has finished inside the top 10 seven times. The only exception came in the season opener on March 1st, when loose belts forced him to slow mid-race and he placed 13th. His best Perris result this year is a fourth-place finish on September 13th in a race streamed live worldwide on Dirt Vision. His average main event finish in 2025 at the long-time Riverside County half mile stands at an impressive 8.125.
Tafoya has qualified in seven of eight visits to The PAS this season. The lone miss occurred on August 16th, when a tumble during his first qualifying lap sidelined his effort. His quickest qualifying time came at the March 1st season opener—16.668 seconds—while his best qualifying position, sixth, has been achieved twice (April 5th and June 21st). His overall qualifying average entering the October 18th event is 8.288.
Event Info: • Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025 • Location: Perris Auto Speedway, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA • Times: Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., racing at 7:00 p.m. • Tickets: Ages 13+ – $35.00 | Seniors (65+) – $30.00 | Kids 6–12 – $10.00 | Children 5 & under – Free • Parking: $20.00 (Fairgrounds parking is card only) • Tickets: Advance tickets at tix.com | Plenty of walk-up tickets available • Track Info: perrisautospeedway.com | 951-940-0134

The Shark Takes Bite Out of NARC Points Lead; Runs 2nd in
Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA- With time winding down on the 2025 NARC Championship battle, Sean Becker commonly known as ‘The Shark’ took a bite out of DJ Netto’s point lead as his second place finish put him just 7 markers out of the top spot with three races left on the schedule.
“I owe Saturday nigh to Crew Chief, Brad Bumgarner,” Sean Becker said. “It was one of those nights where we were immediately fast as soon as the trailer door went down.”
Heading to Tulare, CA’s Thunderbowl Raceway on Saturday night, Becker kicked the night off by timing the Bjork Construction/Kaeding Performance backed No. 7B entry in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Roseville, CA driver picked up a spot as he jumped into third. Holding the position, Becker’s third place finish locked him into the all-important Dash where his runner up finish put him on the front row of the 30-lapper alongside Tanner Holmes.
On the tricky Thunderbowl Raceway surface, Becker settled into second as he chased after Holmes who set a strong pace early.
As they field got into traffic, Becker admittedly made a couple of bad decisions as he slipped back to fifth on the 13th lap.
Using a restart on lap 14 to propel himself back into fourth, Becker again used a restart four laps later to put himself back up in third as he battled with Jesse Schlotfeldt for the runner up position.
Looking like he’d run third on this night, Becker was waiting in the wings and took advantage of a Schlotfeldt issue and grabbed second in the final two laps. Finishing second, Becker close the points gap to just seven markers heading into this weekend’s event at Antioch Speedway.
“I made a couple of bad decisions in traffic, but luckily I had a really good car that allowed me to use restarts to make up some of lost ground and get us back into second,” Sean Becker added.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-36, Wins-0, Top 5’s-9, Top-10’s- 23
ON TAP: Becker and the Bjork Racing team will be back in action Saturday night in Antioch, CA.
STAY CONNECTED: If you can’t be at the track, make sure to give Sean a follow on Instagram at @BeckerRacing23.

Grasty 12th with NARC in Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA- Venturing to Tulare, CA on Saturday night with the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC), Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team had a bit of an off night as they ran 12th in the feature event.
“We unfortunately didn’t get timed in well at all,” Chance Grasty said. “Then in our heat we had a shock go bad, which led to our car not handling well at all and actually feeling pretty evil.”
Timing the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 in 13th fastest in qualifying time trials, the Suisun City, CA driver found himself in the third row of his heat race.
When the heat came to life, Grasty started to feel the ill effects of a failing left rear shock as he hung on as best he could and wrestled his mount around Thunderbowl Raceway. Finishing sixth, Grasty was locked into the 16th starting position in the feature event as the team went to work to make repairs and make sure nothing else had failed.
Taking the green flag from the outside of the eighth row, Grasty admittedly felt much better in the 30-lap finale as he used it as an opportunity to feel things out for the upcoming Trophy Cup.
With the way the track was, it was tough to make a big run through the field, but Grasty did what he could while in traffic as he moved into 14th on the fourth lap, and then was in 13th on the 10th marker.
Continuing to log laps and challenge where he could, Grasty worked his way into 11th just past the halfway point of the feature event and looked for a way inside the Top-10.
Bouncing between 11th and 12th during the final 10 laps of the race, Grasty ultimately capped his night off with a 12thplace finish.
“It wasn’t the night we had in mind, but I think we may have been dealing with a bad shock in qualifying too,” Grasty said. “Super thankful to have a great team behind me who never quits, and in the end it was really good for us to get more laps in Tulare, CA with Trophy Cup on the horizon.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will head to Petaluma Speedway this Saturday night.

Museum of American Speed Acquires Historic Collection
by Pat Sullivan
Clay Smith the Director of the Museum of American Speed has announced that the Lincoln, Nebraska museum has purchased the extensive collection of Hall of Fame photographer John Mahoney. By any yardstick one employs, this is a historically significant acquisition. “We at the Museum of American Speed are honored to be the new home of the John Mahoney archive,” Smith notes, “John is one of the most important racing photographers in the history of the sport and his presence as a recorder of racing history from A.J. Foyt to Kyle Larson speaks for itself. The Museum of American Speed will make every effort to use John's images for the betterment of the sport of auto racing."
Echoing Smith’s observations, the museum’s official Historian Bob Mays adds, “John is the undisputed leader in photographic documentation of the history of auto racing over the last seven decades and we are honored that he has chosen the Museum of American Speed to preserve and continue his legacy.”
The collection includes over 165,000 images including the work of other noteworthy photographers that had been previously bequeathed to Mahoney for preservation. This was not a decision Mahoney took lightly. “After sixty years of living the dream of shooting my favorite sport, it’s time to put my photo career on the trailer,” John notes, “My negative and digital files are now housed at the Museum of American Speed. This new arrangement could not have worked out better with long-time photographer/publisher friend Bob Mays overseeing my collection at the fabulous facility founded by “Speedy Bill” Smith. My wife Martha and I are lucky to enjoy good health and look forward to continuing adventures.”
Mahoney’s website, johnmahoneyphoto.com containing more than 15,000 open wheel photos, will remain active for now but will be managed by the Museum in the future. Please continue to monitor the American Museum of Speed official website https://www.museumofamericanspeed.org for updates as they occur.
The museum acquired the Leroy Byers, Denver, Colorado, archive in 2019 and the Earl Garretson, Astell, Georgia, archive in 2024. Now, with the additions of Mahoney’s collection, the Museum of American Speed has one of the most complete auto racing archives in the United States.
One Race Makes All the Difference for Tyler Ross
Mechanicsburg, PA – October 7, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross has finished in the top ten in nearly fifty percent of the races he has entered in 2025, a statistic that many teams would be happy to own.
For Ross, though, there is unfinished business. He has yet to crack victory lane this year, something he knows his team is capable of. They have proven it multiple times in recent years.
No matter how good your team is, winning is never guaranteed in 410 sprint car racing, but Ross and his team have been working hard all season to overcome hurdles that they are confident are standing between Ross Racing and their next checkered flag.
CUT SHORT IN JERSEY
To close out the month of September, Ross made the trip to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Swedesboro, NJ, to take on the High Limit Racing series. The one-hour tow was the shortest of the season for the Lincoln University, PA, driver who is accustomed to traveling anywhere from ninety minutes to nearly three hours to race.
“We have always been pretty solid at Bridgeport,” Ross commented.
“We brought our white car here for one final shakedown before the National Open at Williams Grove. That’s really the event we have been preparing this car for all along. We’ve been battling a brake issue with this car since we first rolled it out of the shop this year, so we want to get that resolved.”
The car was brand new from chassis to engine earlier this year and has shown promise in limited action, but the team has been working to resolve a brake issue on the car. They have replaced the master brake cylinder, calipers, and other components, with no luck thus far.
“People wonder how it can so long to resolve an issue like we’re having with the brakes. There’s a lot of trial and error involved. These systems are expensive, so you can’t just toss them aside and buy a new one. You can come up with ideas and make changes in the shop, but troubleshooting really only happens when you are on the track. If you figure three laps for hot laps, a couple laps for qualifying, ten more for a heat, and a 25-lap feature, our max for a night is about 40 laps…and those are almost all competitive laps. Something is at stake every time we are trying to figure out the issue,” Ross explained.
Ross turned in a decent performance at Bridgeport, but was still dealing with some brake issues throughout the night. He qualified 11th overall, finished 4th in his heat, and started 12th in the A-main. A top-ten finish was certainly within reach.
The brake issue worked against Ross at the start of the A-main, and he fell to 15th in traffic. Before he could rebound and regain the spots, the rains came and stopped the race after just ten laps.
CAN’T CATCH A ‘BRAKE’
To add to their challenges, upon returning to their shop and performing maintenance on the car to prepare for the coming weekend at Williams Grove, the team discovered a broken valve spring in the engine. Likely another reason for the slow start in Bridgeport’s finale.
Fortunately, the engine builder was able to make the repairs quickly. Ross and his team had the powerplant back in the car Thursday night, less than twenty-four hours before the National Open kicked off.
While that was good news, Ross was still fighting brake issues. The team went over the entire system again and made some changes in hopes of finally eliminating the issue.
Friday night at Williams Grove, Ross timed 9th in his flight and started 5th in his heat. The top five finishers would transfer directly to the A-main; however, the brake issue hindered Ross, and he slipped to an 8th-place finish.
Ross started on the pole of the B-main and only needed to maintain a top-four spot to advance to the feature, but the struggles continued. He faded to a 6th-place finish.
“After the heat race, we went back to work on the brakes, but unfortunately, what we did made it worse. I basically had no brakes at all in the B-main. It may sound odd, but you can’t get around this place fast without brakes,” Ross explained.
“I knew the car was good, though. It has a lot of speed in it. I told my team if we got the brakes figured out, this thing (the white car) was going to be really, really good.”
UNEXPECTED FAVOR
“Leaving the track Friday night, Tyler Esh stopped me. He recognized that we were having brake issues, so he told me he was going home and taking his Smith Titanium system off of his car to bring to our shop Saturday morning for us to put on our car,” Ross shared.
“I told him I appreciated that a ton. We had tried everything and just couldn’t figure out the issue with our system.”
The brake system change was completed Saturday, along with the usual maintenance and race day prep, then it was back on the road to Williams Grove once again.
The loaned brake system did the trick.
Ross timed 5th quickest in a stacked flight that included names like Gravel, Kofoid, Dewease, Macedo, Wagaman, Dietrich, Rahmer, Dietz, Scelzi, Pursley, Peck, and more. He went on to transfer through his heat race and earn the 13th starting spot in the National Open main event.
With 56 quality race teams on hand Saturday, it was no small accomplishment just to make the show, but he held his ground and brought the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service No.5 home 13th at the end of the 40-lap event.
“Saturday was huge for us. We haven’t been great at Williams Grove this year. We put it in the show and had a shot at a top ten finish against this field. I’m feeling pretty good about what our team accomplished,” a very happy Ross said.
“With the brake issues resolved, I was kinda learning the car all over again in the heat. Obviously, it has had speed all along, but I can drive it differently with brakes, so we had to make some adjustments after the heat.”
“I can’t thank Tyler Esh enough for loaning us his Smith Titanium brake system. It solved our problem and gave us a chance tonight.”
“Rick Ciarrocchi bought this new motor for us this year, specifically because he had a goal of making the National Open. I’m proud that we checked off that goal for him.”
It was especially satisfying for Ross and his team, not only because of overcoming the brake issue, but because they have been through so much other adversity in 2025 as well.
The team struggled early in the season and made the decision to change shocks mid-season. They have also had multiple truck issues, making it a challenge to find a way to get to the track at times.
“Everything combined to put a lot of pressure on me and the entire team. Moral has been down. Honestly, it was affecting the team to the point we weren’t sure what we were going to do in 2026,” Ross admitted.
“When we thank all the people who support us, it’s not just words. We are talking about people like Tyler (Esh), Rick (Ciarrocchi), and all the other people who contribute to our program. If they don’t do what they do for us, we literally would not be here.”
“Saturday night took a huge weight off everyone’s shoulders. I can’t tell you how much that run meant to all of us.”
One race really can make all the difference.

Kaleb Johnson Eager for World of Outlaws Weekend in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Inside Line Promotions – MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (Oct. 6, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson is competing with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in New Jersey and Pennsylvania this weekend.
The Team DGRD driver will make his debut at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J., on Friday during the New Egypt Showdown before heading to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa., on Saturday for the Keystone Showdown.
“I’m looking forward to the weekend,” Johnson said. “I’ve watched videos of New Egypt. It looks like a unique place. I’m excited to get to smaller tracks as that’s where we’ve been more consistent. Hopefully we can make the A Main, learn and roll it into the trailer each night.”
Johnson raced with the World of Outlaws last weekend at Williams Grove Speedway, which hosted the J & S Classics National Open.
The weekend began on Friday with Johnson qualifying 24th quickest in his group. He placed 11th in the non-qualifier before rallying from 11th to fifth place in the C Main.
On Saturday, Johnson was 20th quickest in his qualifying group. He ended 11th in a heat race and third in the C Main, finishing only one position out of a transfer into the Last Chance Showdown.
“We knew it’d be tough going into it and it wasn’t the weekend we wanted, but we got better as the weekend went on,” he said. “We needed to be quicker in qualifying each night. The starts there are pretty much everything and that’s something I need to work on. With how the corners are shaped and the long straightaways, if you can pass a guy or two on the start it’s everything. I think I raced okay. I just need to work on starts and putting myself in a better position to pass guys when I can. I got more comfortable as the weekend went on so there were some positives.”

Oct. 3 – Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa. – Qualifying: 24; Non-qualifier: 11 (8); C Main: 5 (11).

Dover Joining High Limit Racing at Lakeside Speedway This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 6, 2025) – Jack Dover is planning to invade Lakeside Speedway this weekend during a Kubota High Limit Racing doubleheader.
The dirt track in Kansas City, Kan., hosts the Heart of America Showdown on Friday and Saturday.
“I’m very excited,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “I’ve won there in the past in a 360 sprint car and feel good going into two races with High Limit.”
Dover’s most recent victory at the fast track is an ASCS regional triumph in August 2012. He posted a runner-up result with the ASCS National Tour at the track in May 2023 and he gained the third-most positions during a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series race there in October 2023.
“I can use all of that for self-confidence,” he said. “The biggest thing I’m thinking about is how good we were there two months ago. If we didn’t have a malfunction I felt we had a good shot at winning the feature that night.”
Dover has made two visits to Lakeside Speedway this season with a best outing of 22nd in August.
“We really struggled our first visit, which was our second race of the season and with High Limit,” he said. “We went back in August and were leading a heat race when we broke a rear end. I felt we had really good speed from hot laps, qualifying, in the heat race. We had a really good setup. We’ll go there with that and see where we stack up this weekend.”

(Oct. 6, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports has stepped closer to its second straight World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship after earning a pair of top 10s last weekend during the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway.

During Friday’s 25-lap feature, Gravel battled for a top five throughout the race before ending seventh. The following night he climbed into the top five on Lap 14, but a miscue cost him several positions two laps later. Gravel then rallied from outside the top 10 to finish sixth – his 61st top-10 result of the season.
The team currently holds a 146-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings with 10 features remaining this season.

Tanner Holmes Returns to Tarlton Motorsports and Scores
NARC Victory
PETERSEN MEDIA- Saturday night, Tanner Homes returned to the
seat of the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 entry to kick off the second part of
his 2025 schedule, and made some noise as he picked up his third win of the
year with the team as he was victorious with NARC at the Thunderbowl in
Tulare, CA.
“It was great to get back in the Tarlton Motorsports entry
over the weekend,” Tanner Holmes said. “Drew Warner and Nate Matherly really
had our car rolling and it was good to have speed right out of the gate.”
Running double duty on this night, Holmes and company were
in action with both the SCCT 360 Series as well as NARC.
With 35 cars on hand in 360ci competition, Holmes timed in
second fastest in his qualifying flight, but he unfortunately came up light
at the scales and his time was disallowed. Rather than get down, the team
used it as a true Tune Up opportunity for the Trophy Cup which is an event
based all on inverts.
Lining up eighth in his heat race, Holmes had his elbows up
in the Tarlton and Son, Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales
backed No. 21 as he carved his way up to fifth and locked into the feature
event.
Taking the green flag from the 18th starting position, the
only stoppage of the race came on the second lap when the red flag was
needed. Once the race got back into green flag conditions, the Jacksonville,
OR driver was on the move as he worked around the high banked speedway.
Working into the Top-10 at the race’s halfway point, Holmes
continued to work as he eventually took ninth on the 22ndlap, which is where
he went on to finish.
In NARC action, Holmes was just as good as he kicked the
night off by earning fast time honors in qualifications.
Lining up fourth in his heat race, Holmes simply settled
into fourth when the race came to life. Maintaining his position to earn a
Dash spot, Holmes’ fourth place finish put him in the Dash.
Pulling the one, Holmes lined up on the pole of the six-lap
shootout where he promptly stormed to the win and earned the pole for the
30-lap feature event.
Leading the field to green, Holmes flexed his muscle early
and powered away from the field. With the track being tricky in a few spots,
the Oregon native was able to find the smoothest surface as he clicked off
impressive laps.
Leading the way from start to finish, Holmes was able to
pocket his third win of the season aboard the famed Tarlton No. 21.
“We were really lights out in both cars, which is a huge
confidence boost as we ready for Trophy Cup,” Holmes said. “With us getting
caught behind in 360ci action, it worked out to where we could try some
things starting in the back to get us ready for having to pass cars next
week. Overall, it was a great night, and I was really happy to park this car
on the front stretch.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 22, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 8, Top 10’s: 12
ON TAP: Tarlton Motorsports and Holmes will off this week as
they ready for the Trophy Cup which will be hosted in Tulare, CA Oct. 16-18.

The Hawkeye Nationals triumph, Reutzel’s second of the year with POWRi, secured a $7,000 payday, simultaneously pushing his season’s win tally to 12, as well as 34 top-fives. The Clute, Texas, native secured his trip to victory lane with a move on lap 10, driving on to lead the final 15 circuits.
As hinted, Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) opened their Lee County assault with a runner-up score on Friday, falling just behind Oklahoma’s own Brady Bacon.
“To get a win in Iowa is always special. We had a lot of friends, family, and partners with us all weekend at Lee County, so to get it done in front of them is a huge deal. I’m proud of everyone,” Brian Ridge was quick to note. “Our High Limit schedule continues this weekend in Kansas City…we’ll be ready. The team title is still in reach. We just have to capitalize.”

REUNITED: Ian Madsen drives TKS Motorsports to Hawkeye
Nationals podium at Lee County; Lakeside ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 6, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (October 6, 2025) – Ian Madsen’s return to TKS Motorsports was impressive, to say the least, not only driving the Mitchellville, Iowa-based operation to back-to-back POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League top-tens at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa, but the St. Marys, New South Wales, Australia, native ultimately capped the Hawkeye Nationals with a podium, finishing just behind Emerson Axsom and winner Aaron Reutzel. The podium resulted in TKS Motorsports’ fifth top-five of the season, now with 11 top-tens since the beginning of the year.
Although Madsen – who was sidelined due to a mid-season injury – finished higher in the Hawkeye Nationals finale, his effort in Friday’s opener was just as head-turning, eventually climbing 14 spots to finish sixth from row ten, simultaneously clinching the evening’s Hard Charger Award.
Padding their weekend stat sheet, Madsen’s preliminary effort in Saturday’s Hawkeye Nationals finale kicked-off with a heat race victory.
“Super proud of what Ian [Madsen] was able to accomplish this weekend. He’s a talented race car driver with a lot of confidence. We knew he may have needed some time to knock the rust off, but he certainly proved he hasn’t lost a step,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Hats off to this entire team. It was a hard-fought weekend in Donnellson, but we’re ready to keep this momentum going. Looking forward to Lakeside this Friday and Saturday.”

Doney-Lawson Racing caps Hawkeye Nationals with top-ten, to join High
Limit Racing at Lakeside
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 6, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (October 6, 2025) – It was a hard-fought weekend in the Hawkeye State for Odessa, Missouri’s own Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing, and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, eventually highlighting Lee County Speedway’s Hawkeye Nationals featuring the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League with a top-ten outcome, accomplished by Xavier on Saturday, October 4.
Finishing ninth, officially, Xavier’s top-ten – his 18th of the season – was the product of forward progress as well as perseverance, climbing ahead from 14th on the $7,000-to-win grid while simultaneously throttling by his Friday A-Main finish by five positions.
For POWRi Outlaw Sprint League Rookie of the Year contender Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and Doney-Lawson Racing teammate, the two-day headliner was productive in her own right, not only qualifying for the Hawkeye Nationals weekend finale, but driving on to finish 22nd. Although ultimately missing the top-ten, the A-Main qualification padded a growing resume, one that already includes an 11-position A-Main charge from earlier this season.
With Lee County’s Hawkeye Nationals officially in the books, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing will now turn their focus toward High Limit Racing, set to challenge the national travelers in a two-day appearance at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday and Saturday, October 10-11.

CRSA SPRINTS PREPARED FOR DUTCH HOAG MEMORIAL OCT. 18; SET FOR $4000 TO WIN, $300 TO START, EXTRA BONUSES UP FOR GRAB NIGHT BEFORE
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – October 1, 2025 – Photo By: Erika Bye
The high-paying races aren’t over yet.
After a successful weekend at Woodhull Raceway three weeks ago, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints will close 2025 Oct. 18 with the Dutch Hoag Memorial at Outlaw Speedway, paying $4000 to win, $300 to start, $100 to tow, in an altogether $14900 purse.
The event will be a one-day show paying show-up points to the overall championship. The night before, all drivers are invited to compete in Friday night's Empire Super Sprints show, which will pay $4000 to win, $400 to start and $100 to tow. CRSA and Racesaver rules are welcome for both days.
ESS and CRSA are helping racers stretch their budgets by waiving the $50 one-day pass for 360s/305s competed Friday, then 305s only Saturday. $20 pill draw still applies for both days.
Any teams that compete Friday, regardless of car, and then race a 305 Saturday will receive two free pit passes Saturday. Teams will have to pay at the pit gate and get an envelope for $90 when they pull their pill at the Mike Emhof Motorsports command center Saturday.
To raise the stakes, any driver who sweeps the weekend will receive a $5000 bonus in addition to the $4000 won each night. That’s $13000 in potential winnings across the weekend.
In addition, two separate points funds will be up for grabs. Those who run a 360 Friday and a 305 Saturday will be eligible for one points fund. Those who are 305 exclusive will be eligible for a separate points fund.
The point funds will each pay $1000 for first, $500 for second, $300 for third, $200 for fourth and $100 for fifth. (If someone wins both nights, they are not eligible for the point money, though the fund will still pay out to the remaining eligible teams.)
Many drivers have competed in both series this season, including series rookie points leader Zach Sobotka, New York 305 Nationals winner Billy VanInwegen, Jordan Hutton and Spencer Burley, among others. Sobotka, in addition to scoring five wins with CRSA, won an Empire Super Sprints feature at Brewerton last month. He is set to clinch the CRSA championship with an entry the 18th.
The format for CRSA’s event at Outlaw will be announced soon. The battles are set to take place Oct. 17 and 18 and will be live on The Cushion.
The CRSA Sprints are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025 and are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers.

Jett Barnes displays speed at Fall Nationals in Chico/ Thunderbowl Raceway debut up next
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…Making his third career Silver Dollar Speedway appearance this past weekend, young Jett Barnes finished off the annual Fall Nationals by setting fast time in his group and running around the top five for a majority of the feature, until experiencing late misfortune.
“It was a great opportunity to head for Chico and compete at the Falls Nationals in memory of Stephen Allard,” Barnes said. “Opening night didn’t start off as good as I had hoped. We qualified ninth and then fell back a couple spots in the heat. Lining up in 19th I figured the track out quickly though in the feature and made it up to the top 10 at one point. While passing for ninth I got into it with another car when we stacked up. That essentially ended any chance of a solid finish.”
Barnes returned on Saturday and immediately demonstrated strength at the Fall Nationals finale. He ripped off an 11.980 to set fast time in Group A qualifying and brought home a third-place result in his heat race aboard the Clayton Snow Racing/ Gary Silva Ranches No. 7 entry.
It was good enough to solidify a spot in the evenings Dash, where he would claim a runner up finish.
“I was pretty confident going into Saturday since I knew we had a fast car,” he commented. “We were fortunate to get fast time in Group A qualifying and then finish third in the heat race. In the Dash I started third and got into second on the opening lap to earn a starting spot on the front row.”
Starting alongside 28-time Sprint Car champion Andy Forsberg, the Visalia driver ran in and around the top five over the first half of the 35-lap main event. A wild conclusion was seen over the final stages and Barnes positioned himself in fifth on a restart with 10 laps remaining.
When the green flag waved again, he battled hard with Kaleb Montgomery and Dominic Gorden for the third position.
He then attempted to take over the fourth spot on lap 28, but just enough contact ensued, resulting in him getting over the edge of the banking and into the wall. He was able to continue but fell back to 10th, before ultimately finishing the contest in P13.
“I was struggling a bit at the beginning but after about 15 laps or so, the top came in and I was able to move back up to the front pack,” Barnes stated. “As the race was winding down, I was attempting to pass for fourth when the car in front of me jumped the cushion. Unfortunately, we came together, and it sent me off the track, resulting in another tough finish.”
Barnes will now set his sights on Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare this Saturday with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up marks the first start of his career at the famed one-third mile clay oval.
“I feel like I learned a lot this past weekend and look forward to Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday for the Trophy Cup Tune-Up. I am very excited to run Tulare for the first time. I feel that it will be a track I enjoy because it’s a place you have to run hard at. Hopefully we can bring home a good finish.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate while live video will be provided by www.calidirt.tv and www.floracing.com

WINGED SPRINT CARS RETURN TO MOBILE INTERNATIONAL THIS SATURDAY NIGHT
October 1, 2025 - The Mississippi / Alabama Sprint Cars will be back in action this Saturday night October 4 for the third time this season at Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama. The winged 360 pavement sprint car event will pay $2,000 t win and $500 to start.
Winged sprint cars returned to the legendary half mile speedway for the first time in six years this past April 26. Tampa, Florida driver Johnny Gilbertson found victory lane after a furious battle with Dave Mader III for most of the race. That successful event led MIS owner Eddie Showmaker to add a second event on September 6. Teenage sensation Colton Bettis won that event in dominating fashion.
After two highly successful winged sprint car events at MIS in 2025, the most recent October 4 date was added. Race organizer Fred Fayard has also indicated monthly 360-winged sprint car events will be featured at the track in 2026.
Saturday's event will also be part of the "Backyard Brawl 125" and will include the UARA National Super Late Model event. The nights racing is being sponsored by Johnny's Premier RV, Fred Fayard Inc, and presented by RB.
Expected entrants include early 2025 winners Johnny Gilbertson, Todd Fayard, Blake Mallette, Joey Schmidt, and Butch David among others.
EXPECTED ENTRANTS

Empire Super Sprints Round Out 2025 Points Season Friday at Fulton
By Curtis Berleue
(Fulton, NY) | With just one point paying race left on the schedule, the Empire Super Sprints head to the Fulton Speedway this week as part of the annual Outlaw 200 weekend. Headlining the Friday night action, the stars and cars of the best 360 sprint car drivers in the northeast will compete for a $2,000 to win top prize. While Jordan Poirier has already locked up his third consecutive championship, the points battle behind him is very much alive going into the final night of action. Dylan Swiernik, who has had a breakout season thus far that includes winning the CNY Speedweek title, currently sits in second place with a 148-point advantage over Davie Franek in third. Behind Franek, Jason Barney sits fourth in points with Shawn Donath rounding out the top five. In two events completed at Fulton already in 2025, Shawn Donath was the most recent winner back on August 30. Dylan Swiernik picked up the CNY Speedweek win at the Oswego County oval on July 5. Both drivers look to cap off the 2025 season with a strong points finish, as each of them sit in the top five in points currently as well.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 1, 2025 – Austin Hartmann
and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team capped the 2025 campaign on a positive note

race, Hartmann wound up second to earn the 13th starting position in the

Arenz drops curtain on remarkable 2025 campaign
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 1, 2025 – Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team crew capped a highly memorable 2025 season with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series curtain closer as part of the eighth annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, Sept. 27.
The 18th-year racer began the night by qualifying a strong third in the 33-car field with a lap of 11.554 seconds. Arenz then placed fifth in the third IRA heat race to earn a dash spot.
The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion then placed fourth after starting third in the second four-lap dash to gain the eighth starting position in the 30-lap Rick Schmidt Memorial main event.
Arenz’s participation in the main event proved to be short-lived, as he was involved in a four-car incident in turn two on lap three, which ended both his night and the 2025 season.
“The night started out on a positive note as I ran a third quick qualifying lap, but the night quickly started to take a turn in the opposite direction,” Arenz said. “With hurting the equipment I have in the last few weeks, I had to run my backup car again. I describe that car as temperamental and it really challenges my skills as a driver. It requires very technical adjustments and really makes you work for it. We fell back a few spots in the heat race, but I was able to get back into a transfer spot, which allowed a starting position in the dash. Very early on in the feature, I was, unfortunately, caught up in a wreck with nowhere to go, ending our night early.”
Arenz capped the 2025 campaign with three A-main victories, five podium showings, 14 top-10 finishes, six heat race victories, 13 dash appearances, three dash victories, and one fast qualifier award in 24 completed events.
The clear highlight of both his 2025 season and his entire racing career was a highly improbable $26,000 victory against the biggest names in the Winged Sprint Car business with Kubota High Limit Racing at the Rayce Rudeen Foundation event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., on Thursday, June 4.
Arenz also tallied two IRA A-main victories at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 17, and 141 Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 13, to finish 2025 with a career-high three 410 Sprint Car victories in a season.
On the downside, mechanical issues and on-track incidents forced Arenz to retire from a handful of main events early and to miss IRA events at Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 6 and Jackson Motorplex on Saturday, Sept. 20. He ended the 2025 campaign eighth in the final IRA point standings.
The 2025 Travis Arenz Motorsports sponsorship partners include Professional Plating Inc., Service One Transportation Inc., Don and Lynn Kiel, Oostburg Concrete, Wittkopp Funeral and Cremation Services, Pfeffer Trucking, Carbliss, Oostburg State Bank, PalletWorks LLC, Jensen Sales and Service, Roth’s Auto Restoration, Sonntag Plumbing Inc., Amy Bruechert Realty, Lake Auto Glass, Fastenal, Hair Fellers Barbershop, Arenz Auto Detailing and Duehring’s Tax Service.

Thunderbowl Raceway hosts penultimate SCCT event this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Tulare, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is set to make its annual October trip to the Central Valley for this Saturday’s “Chris & Brian Faria Memorial” at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.
It marks the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at the track prior to Trophy Cup 31 on October 16th-18th. Purse info and more on the lucrative event can be found via www.tularetrophycup.com
The Faria Memorial this Saturday October 4th also features the NARC 410 Sprint Cars and has long been a cornerstone on the Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway schedule over the years.
Chris Faria was an up and coming driver who was the youngest of five children to Danny Sr. & Arlet Faria. He grew up on their farm in Tipton and was known as the prankster of the family. Chris unfortunately lost his life at the age of 21 during a farming accident and his memory has been kept alive with a memorial race at the Thunderbowl Raceway ever since.
Brian was the oldest of the five Faria children and was taken from us in January of 2006 during an accident while driving on a highway. Brian enjoyed helping out with the track preparation at the Thunderbowl, as he drove the water truck and the grader among other things.
“We look forward to hosting the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on Saturday,” track GM Josh Miller said. “It’s always one of the big events at Thunderbowl Raceway and having both SCCT and NARC should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 4th and then return for the Trophy Cup in a couple weeks.”
With two events remaining in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season, it continues to be Austin Wood sitting atop the standings.
The 15-year-old from Sacramento hung tough to record an eight-place finish during the most recent race in Petaluma and looks for another consistent outing at Thunderbowl Raceway this weekend. Wood ran eighth at Tulare during a local event in May.
Yuba City’s Seth Standley finished right behind Wood in the main event at Petaluma Speedway and goes into Tulare 47-markers back of the lead. Standley will be searching for a strong night at the Thunderbowl to close the gap.
Rounding out the top five going into the penultimate round of the campaign are Bozeman, Montana’s Cole Schroeder, Redding’s Max Mittry and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes.
Comprising the remainder of the top 10 are Brentwood’s Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Marysville’s Carson Hammes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.
The SCCT stop at Thunderbowl Raceway last year was captured by Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick over Central Valley racer Caeden Steele and San Jose’s Tim Kaeding.
Tickets and Details:
Adult Grandstand tickets for the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up at Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday October 4 cost $35, while Bleacher tickets are $30. Senior and child pricing is also available. Tickets can be purchased at the gate on race day.

Paul Nienhiser Scores Pair of Runner Up's In Return To
Racing
PETERSEN MEDIA After enduring a back injury on July 6th, Paul Nienhiser had been in rest, recovery, and rehab mode ever since. Late last week, the Chapin, IL driver got the green light to return to racing and despite being a little out of racing shape, Nienhiser picked up a pair of two second place finishes.
“My main goal in getting back in the car was just to see how my back would feel in a real racing scenario and back at speed,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Also, almost three months out of a car is a long time, so I was also just hoping to get some confidence back as well.”
Checking into Jacksonville Speedway on Friday night, Nienhiser made his comeback in front of a throng of family and friends. Drawing the seventh starting position for his heat race, Nienhiser quickly went to work a very rough and choppy race track.
With a very strong CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc./MB Heating and Cooling Inc. backed No. 9x under him, Nienhiser put on a show as he carved his way to a third place finish which put him fourth overall in ‘A’ Main points.
Making adjustments to his entry before the feature, Nienhiser was admittedly out of gas after the physically demanding heat race. Still, when the green flag flew in the main, he wasted no time jumping into second as he chased after Jake Neuman.
Doing all he could to hang on to his car as he wrestled through the rough surface, Nienhiser made a bid for the lead at the race’s halfway point but ultimately saw Neuman race back by him.
Hanging on to second, a very worn out Nienhiser completed the comeback with a valiant run.
Saturday night, Nienhiser headed to 34 Raceway for the Fall Haul in Scott Bonars owned No. 50, a place that the duo have been so good at year after year but an event that has alluded them.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Nienhiser jumped out to the early lead and never looked back. Picking up the win, Nienhiser moved into the Dash where he picked up a fourth-place finish.
When the feature went green, Nienhiser jumped into second as him and Dustin Selvage were putting on a show and pounding the fence lap after lap. With the track far less demanding than the surface on Friday, Nienhiser was still digging deep to will himself to the race finish.
Getting alongside Selvage a few times, he just didn’t quite have the forward drive he needed to pull off a serious challenge for the lead. A late restart bunched the field back up, and when the green flashed Nienhiser was able to pounce as Selvage made a slight bobble and found himself out front.
With his tires a bit sealed over, JJ Hickle was waiting in the wings and with all of the momentum he was able to get by Nienhiser and pick up the win as Nienhiser again settled for a runner up finish.
“I definitely exceeded all expectations last weekend,” Nienhiser said with a laugh. “First and foremost I have to thank the village of guys that made this possible. Scott, Bonar, Zoom (Greg Ford), Caleb Wankle, Drake Willhite, Weston Crews, Craig Grimsley, Travis Pence, and Zac Houtz played a massive role in making this all possible and they busted their butt’s both nights. I wanted to badly to give them a win for all they did for me, but with them behind me I am super confident in what is to come as long as I can continue to get myself back into racing shape.”
Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer, Dekalb/Asgrow, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-17, Wins-6, Top 5’s-10, Top 10’s-12
ON TAP: Nienhiser is scheduled to get right back after this weekend with two nights at Jacksonville Speedway on the schedule.

KCP Racing and Cory Eliason Team Up To Finish 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series Schedule
PETERSEN MEDIA: As 2026 plans start to come together and get finalized, KCP Racing and Emerson Axsom have ended their partnership as the team now looks to veteran driver, Cory Eliason, to finish out the 2025 World of Outlaws slate.
“First and foremost we want to thank Emerson Axsom for his services the last two months,” KCP Racing’s Matt Barbara said. “He came into our program at one of the most grueling times of the year and performed very well after stepping away from a very successful KPM team. With plans starting to come together for next year, we both felt it was the right time to go our separate ways and we think it gives him a great shot to get started on 2026.”
Moving forward, KCP Racing has tabbed Visalia, CA native, Cory Eliason to run the remainder of the Outlaws slate kicking off with this weekend’s event at Williams Grove Speedway.
“After the Dennis Roth Classic my season was over, so to have Matt Barbara call and offer me the chance to race for another month, I jumped at it,” Eliason said. “I am working on finalizing my plans for next year, and I know the KCP team has some changes coming, so really just looking forward to having some fun and hopefully giving this team a win over the last chunk of the season.”

Kaleb Johnson Makes Gains During Tripleheader Weekend in Pennsylvania
Inside Line Promotions – SPRING RUN, Pa. (Sept. 29, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson improved his results throughout a busy weekend in Pennsylvania.
“They were three completely different tracks, but all had similar heaviness,” he said. “We struggled to start each night, but got better the more laps we got.”
The action began on Friday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, where the Team DGRD driver was 18th quickest in time trials. Johnson then placed eighth in a heat race and 10th in the B Main.
“We were too snug pretty much the whole night,” he said. “We qualified okay. In the heat race I didn’t get a good start and then in the B Main we had the car a lot better. I made a mistake down the backstretch and got into the wall and tore the Jacob’s Ladder out. It was tough to do much after that.”
Johnson qualified 15th quickest to kick off his debut at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown on Saturday. A fifth-place result in a heat race locked him into the main event, which was washed out by rain.
“The track was a lot heavier than what we were expecting,” he said. “It was the one night we drew good and didn’t want to because the track got faster and faster. I felt we qualified okay. It was tough to do much in the heat race and then the feature rained out. It was good to get laps before the Outlaws show there in a couple of weeks.”
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Path Valley Speedway Park, where Johnson also made his first appearance. He was 17th quickest in his group during qualifying. A charge from ninth to sixth place in a heat race narrowly missed locking into the main event. Johnson finished fourth in the B Main to garner the final A-Main transfer position. He maneuvered from 24th to 15th before dropping four positions in the waning laps due to a tire going flat.
“We didn’t start off too good and were too tight at the beginning of the night, but we steadily improved,” he said. “We went forward in the heat race and hung on in the B Main. I was happy to make the show. It’s tough when you’re starting in the back like that. On a race track that small a lot can happen. We avoided all the wrecks and got better so that’s all I could ask for.”
Johnson will remain in Pennsylvania this weekend for the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway. He made his debut at the track and in the event last year.

Tanner Carrick Picks Up A Pair of Top-10’s at Fall
Nationals
PETERSEN MEDIA: After a week off, Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports team was back in action over the weekend in Chico, CA where he scored a 10th place finish on Friday night before running 6th in Saturday’s Fall Nationals finale.
“Friday night we were pretty good, and I think we showed that after going to work area and then coming back out and still running in the Top-10,” Tanner Carrick said.
Friday night the weekend doubleheader kicked off with Carrick timing the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T in third quickest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Carrick battled hard with Nick Parker as the duo both looked for a spot in the Trophy Dash. Settling into second after a couple of circuits, Carrick held on to finish in the runner-up spot which put him in the fifth row of the opening night feature event.
Running in ninth as the race came to life, Carrick moved into eighth on the 11th lap before he was caught up in a tangle on the 12th lap and took a trip to the work area.
Able to restart the race, Carrick was back in 20th and didn’t have a ton of time to make up ground.
Doing what he could from the back of the pack, Carrick worked into 18th on lap 18 and then was into 17th on the 22nd lap.
Moving into 14th with five laps left in the race, Carrick was up into 12th on the 27th before moving back into the Top-10 on lap 29. Holding 10th for the final lap, Carrick capped off a solid rebound by going from 20th to 10th in 14 laps.
Back at the track on Saturday night, Carrick again got off to a strong start as he timed in third quickest in his flight for the second consecutive night. Again, on the front row of his heat race the Lincoln, CA driver was able to get the jump on this night.
Picking up the win, Carrick was locked into the Dash where his seventh-place finish put him in the fourth row of the 35-lap finale.
Getting into fifth when the race came to life, Carrick was in the fifth position when the red flag flew on the seventh lap for a medical emergency.
When the race finally resumed after an extended stoppage, Carrick was able to take over fourth, as the battle from second-fifth got extremely exciting.
Getting into third briefly at the halfway point, Carrick was back to fifth on the next lap.
Slipping back as far as seventh amidst tight knit action around the Silver Dollar Speedway Carrick was able to work back into sixth on the 28th lap and went on to close his night out there.
“We had a good car all weekend, and happy to get a couple of decent finishes,” Carrick said. “It was a fun weekend, and I am thankful for everyone that helped us out all weekend long.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

Andy Forsberg Scores 4th Career Fall Nationals Win
PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team had another strong weekend. Taking part in the Fall Nationals in Chico, CA, Forsberg picked up a third place finish on Friday night and came back even better on Saturday night at he claimed his fourth career Fall Nationals crowd.
“After the six weeks or so we had, to have two great weekends in a row is really satisfying,” Andy Forsberg said. “Not only for me as a driver, but for the team behind me who has continued to work through the rough patch. It is also pretty cool to get a win in front of one of my biggest fans.”
Kicking the weekend off on Friday night for the opening night of the Fall Nationals, Forsberg got things underway by timing the Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax/PHR backed No. 92 in fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver got a nice jump as he worked his way forward and finished third. By way of his finish, Forsberg not only locked into the opening night feature event but was also in the Dash due to his qualifying efforts.
Finishing fourth in the Dash, Forsberg rolled off the starting grid from the outside of the second row for the 30-lapper. Slipping back to fifth in the opening stanzas of the race, Forsberg worked his way into fourth on the restart with 11 laps to go in the race.
The next lap he overtook third as he chased after the lead duo of Landon Brooks and Dominic Groden. Unable to make a run at the top two in the final laps, Forsberg capped the opening night of the weekend off with a third place run.
Back in action for Saturday night’s Fall Nationals finale which also served as the season finale for Silver Dollar Speedway, Forsberg kicked the night off by timing in sixth quickest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row his Saturday night heat race, Forsberg got the jump and took the early lead. Wiring the field from start to finish, Forsberg was again in both the feature event as well as the Dash where the one pill put him on the pole of the six lap shootout.
Leading all six laps in the Dash, Forsberg found himself on the pole of the 35-lap Fall Nationals feature event. When the race went green, Forsberg quickly raced out to the early lead before a red flag was needed for a fan emergency on the seventh lap.
After the extended stoppage, Forsberg was back on the loud pedal as he raced out front with a torrid battle behind him. A couple of additional stoppages slowed the pace, and in the race’s closing laps Forsberg found himself in a hotly contested battle with Shane Golobic.
With Golobic throwing a pair of pass attempts at him, Forsberg was able to negate the efforts and score his 10th win of the season.
“Just happy to get back up front and getting this team back in victory lane and at a race that means a lot to many of us,” Forsberg added. “Thanks to Paul, Brian, Kelli, Jack, and everyone that was up in our pit area all weekend helping us out.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Dover Rebounds to Earn Hard Charger Award During Debut at Plymouth Dirt Track
Inside Line Promotions – PLYMOUTH, Wis. (Sept. 29, 2025) – Jack Dover captured the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars last Saturday during the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series season finale at the Plymouth Dirt Track.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver opened his debut at the track by timing in 14th quickest during qualifying. Unfortunately, a DNF in a heat race relegated him to the B Main. Dover won that race to transfer into the back of the main event.
“We went out third in qualifying and the track was a little greasy,” he said. “The track got faster and I ended up three tenths off quick time, but that’s part of the draw. Sometimes you wish you drew up front and sometimes at the back.
“We took off in the heat race and my steering gear was locking up going into turn one. It really started acting up so I pulled in. We got it switched and we were pretty good in the B Main.”
Dover hustled from the 21st starting position to 11th place by Lap 10 of the A Main, but a flat tire near the midpoint of the 30-lap race dropped him to the rear of the field. Following a pit stop to replace the tire, Dover was able to salvage a solid outing by climbing back into the top 15 before a last-lap pass gave him a 14th-place finish.
“We tightened the car up a little more, put some tires on and filled it with fuel for the start of the feature,” he said. “About halfway through we lost the left rear tire. We came in, switched it, got back out there and were able to pass a few more cars. Without that tire issue we were probably a fifth or sixth-place car.
“You can’t prevent a steering gear breaking so it’s one of those things. The tire coming apart, we couldn’t control that either. It stinks we had all that happen eight hours from home, but we never give up. We have fight in us and we have speed.”
The racing plan for this weekend is to be determined.
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 27 – Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. – Qualifying: 14; Heat race: 8 (1); B Main: 1 (1); Feature: 14 (21).

43 races, 2 wins, 15 top fives, 22 top 10s, 27 top 15s, 31 top 20s

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Bring Home Buckeye Brawl Victory
Inside Line Promotions – HARTFORD, Ohio (Sept. 29, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports and David Gravel drove into the Winner’s Circle for the 16th time this season last Friday during the Buckeye Brawl presented by NOS Energy Drink at Millstream Speedway.
It marked Gravel’s first World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series triumph at the track in Findlay, Ohio, and his 119th career win with the Series.
The night began with Gravel timing in fifth quickest in his group. A runner-up result in a heat race advanced him into the dash and a second-place showing in that race lined him up on the outside of the front row in the main event. Gravel battled for the lead throughout first third of the race before taking the top spot for good in traffic.
“Sometimes it’s better to be running second,” Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “Buddy (Kofoid) was searching around and running low below guys, and I got really big runs on him on the top. He didn’t know. He was just trying to get by lapped cars, and I was lucky to take advantage of it. He kind of went low and slid across, and I kind of followed him in to hit the bottom really good and got in front of him off of (turn) four. That was the winning move. I knew it was going to come down to a corner or two.”
The weekend in Ohio wrapped up on Saturday at Sharon Speedway, which hosted the Federated Auto Parts Showdown. Gravel was fifth quickest in his qualifying group and he won a heat race. He placed third in the dash and fourth in the A Main for his 53rd top five of the season.
The team holds a 150-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings with a dozen races remaining this season. Next up is the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., this Friday and Saturday. Gravel won the marquee event in 2014 and in 2017.
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 26 – Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio – Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 2 (2); Dash: 2 (3); Feature: 1 (2).
Sept. 27 – Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio – Qualifying: 3; Heat race: 1 (2); Dash: 3 (5); Feature: 4 (3).

Dietrich closes out weekend fourth with High Limit; Williams Grove
Speedway National Open to launch October slate
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (September 29, 2025) – It was a three-start weekend for Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, and although the team out of Gettysburg was short of attaining win #13, their results were stout in their own right, highlighting all attempts with a High Limit Racing top-five at Path Valley Speedway Park on Sunday, September 28.

Dietrich’s only weekend “disappointment” occurred on Saturday at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, where he was scored 14th with High Limit Racing. The truth is, only ten laps were recorded, as Mother Nature reared her ugly head and crashed the party.
“Hats off to Bridgeport for doing what they could to get the show in. I think we would have definitely moved forward, but we were low on time. Regardless, we’ll get our chance there again soon,” Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, said. “We want to win the National Open…we’re not really worried about anything else at this point.”

Whittall wheels to back-to-back top-tens; Williams Grove
Speedway National Open ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (September 29, 2025) – Back-to-back starts resulted in back-to-back top-tens for Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports, joining the field in Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open Tuneup on Friday, September 26, followed by a High Limit Racing appearance at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, on Saturday, September 27. The Vincentown, New Jersey, ace finished no worse than ninth in the weekend pair, and even that result had the potential to be greater, as Bridgeport’s main event was called after just ten circuits – Mother Nature being the culprit.
Whittall, the driver of his own RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, launched his weekend with a sixth-place outcome at Williams Grove Speedway, gaining valuable lap time and insight before the Outlaws invade for the $75,000 National Open. As hinted, Whittall closed out his weekend with a ninth-place finish at Bridgeport, but the main event was eventually interrupted by a downpour; he started 11th.
Whittall is a former winner at Bridgeport, scoring the season-ending Dirty Jersey Finale a season ago.
“Feels good to keep our consistency rolling,” Justin Whittall noted. “Definitely didn’t need that rain on Saturday. I think we had the potential to move forward. To have the opportunity to race in our home state in front of our friends and family is pretty special. That opportunity doesn’t come up too often. Everyone works really hard on this team and I’m grateful. We have a big one ahead. We’ll do whatever we can to put ourselves in a great position on Saturday night.”
ON DECK:
Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports will continue their 2025 season with
Williams Grove Speedway’s annual National Open on Friday and Saturday,
October 3-4. Saturday’s 40-lap finale will award a $75,000 payday.

SEASON COMPLETE: Andrews closes out 2025 by joining Outlaws in final Ohio
swing
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (September 29, 2025) – For the final time this season, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series invaded the Buckeye State, and Sandusky’s own Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing was in on the action, joining the Greatest Show On Dirt at Millstream Speedway in Findlay and Sharon Speedway in Hartford on Friday and Saturday, September 26-27.
Although the team missed the top-ten in each of their Ohio outings, there were plenty of shining moments, most of which accomplished at Millstream to launch the weekend. In fact, Andrews, a former Attica Raceway Park track champion, activated his evening with the fourth-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish fourth in his respective heat race before lining up tenth in the evening’s main. A great start, nonetheless, Andrews faded and was eventually scored 23rd, a misinterpreted setup being the culprit.
Andrews’ Sharon visit concluded in the evening’s Last Chance Showdown.
Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will now shut the door on the year, anxious to tear down and regroup for the 2026 season. The team will end their campaign with one victory and 14 top-ten appearances, the win occurring at Attica Raceway Park on Friday, March 28. Recent highlights include back-to-back eighth-place finishes in Fremont Speedway’s annual Jim Ford Classic – a weekend that featured the All Star Circuit of Champions.
“It was a fun season but I’m kinda happy it’s done. We did our best to improve and we definitely made some gains, but we’re ready to get things torn down and begin preparations for next year,” Chris Andrews noted. “To our partners, fans, and friends, we thank you for your support. We couldn’t do any of this without you. We’re pretty privileged to live in an area so rich in racing tradition. It’s a competitive part of the country, but it’s that level of competitiveness that makes teams as good as they are. We look forward to seeing everyone in the spring.”

Reutzel highlights recent High Limit stretch with top-ten
in New Jersey; Lee County’s Hawkeye Nationals to kick-off October
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 29, 2025) – It was a roller coaster weekend in the Mid-Atlantic for Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), highlighting their trips to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, and Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run, Pennsylvania, with a top-ten finish, doing so at the former on Saturday, September 27.

Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “But still, hats off to this entire team. No matter what’s thrown their way, they always find a way to overcome it, and they’ve proven that over and over this year. Take away the hiccups and obstacles and I think we have a championship locked.
“Ready to get after it close to home this weekend,” Ridge continued. “Racing at Lee County gives us the opportunity to race in front of our home state partners. It should be an exciting weekend.”

MILLER SET TO MAKE 410 DEBUT WITH MUST SEE RACING
September 30, 2025 - Ocklawaha, Florida’s Daniel Miller is set to make his Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com debut when the series visits the Panhandle area for two nights of racing as part of the ‘Southern Shootout’. Not only will it be his first points paying MSR debut, but it will also be the first time he has run an unrestricted 410 engine in competition.
The series will visit Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on Friday October 3 and will conclude the racing weekend the following evening on Saturday October 4 at Montgomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama. Both events will pay $10,000-to-win.
The 2023 Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series champion is no stranger to asphalt winged sprint car racing. In addition to his championship, he has previously won with the series during his racing career.
Miller did compete in the special co-sanctioned MSR / SSSS ‘Children’s Dream Fund 50’ non points event in 2024, but it was a restricted 410 engine race. This weekend’s racing agenda will be the first time he will get to feel the true horsepower of a 410 engine. The SSSS is a 360 series.
“It will be the first time I’ve run with Must See Racing and with a 410 before. It’s definitely gonna be a learning curve” explained Miller. “I haven’t even tested the 410 yet. There is an open practice on Thursday. We’re gonna try and make it up for that to get some seat time.
“We’ve talked about running these races for a while. My car owner Chaz Hambling has had the 410 for a while. We ended up putting the 410 in about a month ago just to make sure we didn’t have any bugs or anything going on.
“These tracks will be new for me. I’ve run Five Flags in a late model but never in a sprint car. I liked Five Flags. It was definitely different. I remember it was fast and ate tires a lot. But comparing the late model to a sprint car there are two different animals.
‘We’re trying to get through some recent misfortunes with the car. We’ve struggled. We’re trying to get through some of the lows of the P1 car. We’re trying to get some of the things we’ve found wrong with the car straightened out. I think we’re there. If we do good this weekend, I think Chaz and everybody will be happy to do some more 410 racing in the future”.
The 29-year-old Miller began driving for the Chaz Hambling owned P-1 Chassis racing team in the spring. Despite driving for two different teams this season, he currently sits in seventh place in the SSSS points standings despite missing a race.
“Chaz has been great to drive for. Anything we’ve needed he’s bought. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. We explain it and he’s on board.
“I’d love to win this weekend. If the car is good, I think
we’ll have a chance. I’d love to run in the top five. We’re gonna have a
bunch of cars there so even a top ten and I’d be happy” concluded Miller.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (September 29, 2025) - It was a rocky

forced him to retire; there was no time in the work area.

two-weekend Mid-Atlantic stretch for the Greatest Show On Dirt, visiting New

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing claim opening night of the Fall Nationals
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…Landon Brooks made the move by Dominic Gorden early and fended him off for the duration of the feature to bring home opening night of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.
The 21-year-old drove a magnificent race through lapped traffic to tally his second win in three weeks aboard the newly formed Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise No. 21L Sprint Car.
“Lapped traffic was definitely treacherous in the feature,” Brooks commented afterwards. “It was hard to tell where everyone was going to go at times. Luckily it worked out and we are standing up here in victory lane to open the Fall Nationals.”
Brooks began the evening by qualifying fourth in Group B time trials at the helm of the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount.
He would get the jump in the night’s final heat race and lead flag to flag, locking up a spot in the evening’s Dash.
At the waving of the green flag in the six-lap contest, Brooks got an exceptional start from row two, moving into second and then attempted to challenge the leader.
He had to get out of the gas slightly though and it allowed Max Mittry the chance to get back by. He went on to cross the stripe in third, placing him on the inside of row two for the main event.
When the 30-lap feature began Brooks immediately hopped up to the second spot and then began to hound leader Dominic Gorden. With seven circuits complete the Yuba City driver made his move to rocket past Gorden and assume the point.
Racing through thick lapped traffic Brooks picked his spots wisely and went on to grab his second career Silver Dollar Speedway victory.
“I want to send a big thanks to Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst for getting me comfortable again,” Brooks said. “We have gelled well again right off the bat and that’s been great. Thank you to Dave Lippert for all his support along with Roger and Lori Hamilton for believing in us. We have a lot of great partners with this team and couldn’t do it without all of them as well.”
Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise will now get set to tackle Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the 31st running of the Trophy Cup on October 16th, 17th and 18th.
“I am really happy with our speed right now going into Trophy Cup,” he stated. “I look forward to the event, as I’ve ran well in Tulare with Steven and Kyle previously, so hopefully we can continue that in a few weeks.”
Tickets for the 31st Trophy Cup can be purchased at the gate while live video will be provided by www.floracing.com

Covington Claims ASCS National Win at I-55
Matt Covington Racing – Glenpool, OK (September 26, 2025)
Matt Covington battled through an action-packed weekend with the ASCS
National Tour, scoring a 4th-place finish Friday at Paducah International
Raceway after an early setback, then rebounding in a big way to claim
Saturday night’s victory at Federated Auto Parts I-55 Raceway in his Reece
Construction/D&W Towing/Simpson Race Products/Triple X machine.
Friday night at Paducah was shaping up to be another strong outing for Covington. After setting quick time in his group, finishing 2nd in his heat, and winning the dash, he led the early stages of the feature before a punctured right-rear tire forced an unscheduled trip to the pits. Restarting from the back, Covington charged through the field to salvage a 4th-place finish.
On Saturday at I-55, Covington set the tone early by breaking the track record and posting overall fast time. After transferring through his heat, he advanced to the dash, finishing 2nd and earning a front-row starting spot for the main event. With the green flag waving, Covington settled into 3rd before moving into 2nd by midway. As the race wound down and traffic became heavy, he maneuvered his Missile Motorsports/Outlaw Wings/KSE Products/Fisher Racing Engines-powered entry past the leader and held on through the closing laps to secure the ASCS National Tour win.
“This was a big win for us, and it felt great to get it,” Covington said. “We had a couple of mechanical issues throughout the night that kept us scrambling until feature time, so pulling it off was really rewarding. I-55 is such a historic, high-speed place, ...it fits my style and is always a blast to race at. Friday was tough with the flat at Paducah, but to rally back to 4th there and then win at I-55 made for a great momentum weekend. We’ve had speed all year, and it’s showing here lately. Now we just need to stay focused and finish strong these last few weeks.”
Covington also took time to thank his team and partners:
“None of this would be possible without the support of our partners,
sponsors, fans, and my crew. A big shoutout to Steven for all his hard work
at the shop and on the road. This is truly a team effort and the grind on
the road is not easy.”
The Covington Racing team will take the upcoming weekend off to regroup, freshen up the cars, and prepare for the final stretch of the season.

Steadying the Ship: Kody Hartlaub Closing in on Being
Consistent Contender
East Berlin, PA – September 26, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Kody Hartlaub felt like his second career 410 sprint car win was within reach last Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.
He had good reason to feel that way. He timed 5th quickest overall, then led every lap in his heat race, winning by over 2.3 seconds, to earn the pole for the A-main.
Hartlaub led 19 laps, but unfortunately, bad luck intervened.
“That one stings. A bolt came out of the brake pedal on lap 2, and I had no brakes. I feel so bad for my guys and my sponsors. I feel we had that one,” a disappointed Hartlaub explained.
“I was able to hang on to the top spot for most of the race, but the lack of brakes became extremely challenging. I tried my hardest to race the car to maintain as much speed as possible, but unfortunately, we dropped a few spots and ended up 5th.”
LEARNING FROM CHALLENGES
Coming off his first career 410 sprint car win six weeks ago, Hartlaub was feeling good about his team’s growth and progression through the 2025 season.
Hartlaub was inching closer to that moment for several races. The Williams Grove victory gave the East Berlin (PA) driver an average finishing position of 6.75 over a four-race stretch, a significant improvement over his average finish of 16th in the four races before that stretch.
With the Central Pennsylvania season heading into the home stretch, this was the timely momentum Harlaub, team owner Pat Brewer, and the entire NinetyFive Motorsports team needed.
The showing this past Friday certainly proves Hartlaub’s win in August was not a fluke, and it also shows the team can work through challenges and find their rhythm again.
The weekend after that August 15th win, Hartlaub kept the momentum going with two more top ten finishes at Williams Grove Speedway’s Jack Gunn Memorial and Lincoln Speedway’s Kramer Klash. However, the final weekend of August brought challenges and frustrating nights for Hartlaub and his team, who finished outside the top ten twice and failed to make the starting field once.
Hartlaub, Brewer, and the NinetyFive Motorsports team are well aware you can’t rest on your laurels in sprint car racing. What works today may not work tomorrow. It is a constant battle to find the combination needed to be competitive every time a team unloads.
“Some of the things we tried Labor Day weekend didn’t work like we had hoped, but that’s what you have to do in this sport. You have to constantly work to get better, but sometimes you learn the most from the things that don’t work,” Hartlaub explained.
“We took a week off at the beginning of September, and we worked on the changes we felt we needed to make to get our speed back. It felt good to see that pay off by getting back in the top ten at Williams Grove.”
Hartlaub was referring to the team’s effort back on September 12th, where he recorded a runner-up finish in his heat race and a 6th-place finish in the feature.
The following night at Lincoln Speedway, Hartlaub struggled, dropping out of the main event at the halfway point due to an ill-handling racecar, once again proving that what worked yesterday may not work today. The team went back to work that week to get ready for Williams Grove, and we now know they bounced back strong and nearly captured another win.
It’s an ongoing battle for every team in sprint car racing, a roller-coaster ride if you will, but when a team overcomes those challenges and achieves success, there’s nothing quite like that feeling of satisfaction. It’s only a matter of time until Hartlaub feels that again.
UP NEXT
Hartlaub and the NinetyFive Motorsports team will return to
Williams Grove Speedway Friday night for the final tuneup before the
National Open. Saturday night, they will venture to Bridgeport Motorsports
Park in Swedesboro, NJ, to take on the High Limit Racing series on the
high-banked 4-tenths mile oval.

Belleville, IL. (9/24/2025) Following on-track retaliation and rule violations, POWRi officials have suspended and fined driver Riley Kreisel after actions that took place on Saturday, September 20, at Lucas Oil Speedway during the Hockett/McMillin Memorial in POWRi WAR Sprint competition.
During green-flag competition in the Wholesale Batteries POWRi WAR/MWRA Challenge Series feature, contact occurred between Landon Simon and Riley Kreisel, after which Kreisel slowed and brought out the caution. As officials attempted to direct the No. 91 off the track and into the work area, Kreisel accelerated and struck the No. 24 of Landon Simon, causing damage to the rear tail tank and bumper. After both cars came to a stop on the backstretch, Kreisel exited his car and attempted to inflict further damage on the No. 24 before POWRi and Lucas Oil Speedway officials intervened and removed him from the scene.
As a result of this violation, Riley Kreisel has been suspended from all POWRi-sanctioned events for six months. The suspension will pause at the conclusion of the 2025 race season and resume at the start of the 2026 season (pending schedules). In addition, Kreisel has been fined $1,000, which must be paid before he is permitted to return to competition. Upon his return, he will be placed on probation for six months at all POWRi-sanctioned events. Event payout from Saturday night has also been withheld by POWRi officials following the incident.
The Series rules on retaliation are as follows: POWRi Race Procedures, page 7, section a: If a participant engages in retaliation before, during, or after a race, the participant will be disqualified and will receive no points or pay. Additional fines or suspensions may be imposed at the discretion of the Series and/or Competition Director.
Further updates will be made public via POWRi social media channels and online at www.powri.com.
Complete rules and guidelines for all POWRi divisions can be found at www.powri.com/rules. All questions or concerns regarding this matter should be directed to POWRi officials.

Press Release By: Marty Czekala – September 25, 2025 – Photo By: Erika Bye
After taking last weekend off, a vital doubleheader is set to commence for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints.
Saturday, a DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge champion will be crowned at Land of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua, in the series' final stop of the year at the Ontario County Fairgrounds.
Sunday is take three of the series' feature-only event at Weedsport Speedway, after being held back in July to determine if Zach Sobotka or Dillon Paddock will have the major championship advantage going into October, with a show-up points race remaining. The race will also determine the winner of the I-90 Pit Stop Championship.
At Land of Legends, Jeff Trombley and Bobby Parrow have scored victories this season and are the top two in DisBatch points. They will be among 17 drivers eligible to win the three-race miniseries in Canandaigua this season. It is also a show-up points race toward the overall championship.
At Weedsport, Parrow won a feature last May to end a series winless streak dating back to 2021. Back in July, the series completed preliminary actions for its second event at “The Port” in 2025, but the feature was postponed due to rain. A makeup race was planned for September but was rained out on the scheduled day.
Here’s a look at the news and notes leading up to race weekend.
Tune In: Action can be seen live for free on Land of Legends TV Saturday at Canandaigua, with a simulcast on DIRTVision, then on Dirt Track Digest Sunday at Weedsport featuring Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
Last Time Out: The biggest weekend in CRSA history took place with the return of the New York 305 Nationals at Woodhull Raceway, paying $4000 to win, making it the richest race in series history.
With $29000 paid over a two-day show. Friday night started with Twin 20-lap features to see who would be the first two locked into Saturday’s A-Main with a guaranteed top 10 spot.
Second-year 305 Sprint Car driver Spencer Burley picked off his first career A-Main after holding off Zach Sobotka throughout the second half of the feature.
In the second feature, Scott Landers started on pole and led all 20 laps to pick up his first career victory.
Moving into Saturday, Billy VanInwegen had been running consistently well in a part-time 305 schedule, finishing in the top five in every race, just yet to find that checkered flag.
While VanInwegen lost the lead after starting from pole, he regained it with 11 to go after passing Mikey Smith for his eighth career CRSA victory and first New York 305 Nationals championship.
“That’s very cool,” said VanInwegen. “I had my head down, really thinking hard during the long red. He gave me the top and I was able to get a really good run through the middle, clear him and set sail for third.”
Smith finished second while Dillon Paddock scored third.
Championship Scenarios: Starting with the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge, Bobby Parrow leads Jeff Trombley by seven points and Lance Dusett by nine.
Should the gap(s) not change into Saturday’s feature, a podium finish by Parrow would clinch the championship. A fourth or worse and Trombley could win to clinch. For Dusett, a fifth or worse for Parrow and the No. 14X would have a shot at the title.
Keep an eye on drivers in the top five in points, including Dillon Paddock and Zach Sobotka.
In the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, as long as Sobotka doesn’t finish 25th Sunday, he’ll win the I-90 Miniseries off a strong campaign.
Finally, with heat races in the books at Weedsport, a 13th or 14th place finish or better for Sobotka will clinch him the major championship advantage with one show-up points weekend remaining on the CRSA calendar. The No. 38's worst finish in 2025 is a ninth. Other than that, top fives. Sobotka finished fifth last May at “The Port.”
Paddock finished second last May, matching his best finish at the track from two years ago.
Rest of Standings: Outside of Sobotka and Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion Dillon Paddock, Dandy Miniseries champion Jordan Hutton runs third in points, 60 points ahead of Dalton Herrick in third, who had a rough full points show last time at Ransomville after flipping.
In the battle for fifth, Scott Landers is 20 ahead of Timmy Lotz.
The closest battle in the top 10 in points is for seventh, with Alysha Bay up seven markers on Spencer Burley.
The rest of the top 12 have Darryl Ruggles in ninth, 316 points behind Sobotka, Vince Chicklets in 10th, 398 points back, Bailey Boyd in 11th, 416 points behind the leader and Steve Glover in 12th, 547 points back.
CRSA Drivers vs Land of Legends Regulars: If there’s a 305 version of 410 series regulars vs the Pennsylvania Posse, it’s when CRSA heads to Land of Legends Raceway.
Expect drivers from the likes of Dillon Paddock, Zach Sobotka, Land of Legends Wall of Famer Darryl Ruggles, Alysha Bay and Spencer Burley to compete for good finishes against the track regulars from the likes of track champion Bobby Parrow, Lance Dusett, Ethan Gray and Dan Craun amongst the notables.
Three of the last four winners of a CRSA show at Land of Legends have been track regulars in the 305 Sprint division that year. Them being Bobby Parrow last July and Matt Rotz and Dillon Paddock last season.
2023 was a hybrid of CRSA/Land of Legends regulars when Dalton Herrick and Jordan Hutton took checkers two seasons ago (Hutton won the track championship in 2023 as well).
Extra for Saturday’s winner: Thanks to VanBortel Trucking, a right rear Hoosier tire will be on the line for the winner. Ike VanBortel gave out right rears earlier this season to the winners of both CRSA shows at Land of Legends.
Look Back at July 26: Preliminary action wrapped up before Mother Nature wiped out the feature not once, but twice.
Aaron Shelton won his first heat race of the year, narrowly beating Mikey Smith. Timmy Lotz, Johnny Smith and Scott Landers all won heats two through four, respectively. The Elab Smokers Boutique Scramble Dash saw Mikey Smith win the $100 bonus and start ninth.
The redraw saw Scott Landers take the pole, followed by Timmy Lotz starting second. Dillon Paddock will start fifth and Zach Sobotka starts seventh. For the full lineup, head to the bottom of the story or head to the MyRacePass app.
By the Numbers: Car counts have been heavy at Canandaigua for CRSA competition, with 29 and 31 cars in the earlier two shows.
12 drivers have found their way to victory lane in Canandaigua. Darryl Ruggles leads with five, followed by Jeff Trombley with four and Alysha Bay with three. Jordan Hutton and Bobby Parrow each have two and seven drivers have a win. Seven drivers recorded their first career win. Dan Craun is the only driver to qualify for all 22 A-Mains.
Entering Weedsport, 25 drivers will start the feature. Of the four past winners, three will take the green. 11 of the 24 drivers in the feature have finished in the top five at "The Port."
From the Frontman: “The end of the season is near and time has gone very fast. We’re excited to crown a couple of champions and see who will come out with the overall points lead at the end of Weedsport. Very thankful to Paul Cole for another great year of CRSA-sanctioned competition at Land of Legends and to Jimmy Phelps for being able to make up the race from July this late in the season, along with two great events in 2025." ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA will have a couple of weeks off before closing the season Oct. 18 at Outlaw with another New York 305 Nationals paying $4000 to win.

Winning Start For A New Combination
By Phil Michell Motorsport Media
The South Australian Wingless Sprint season got underway
last Saturday night on a chilly September night at the Murray Machining and
Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway. Despite an early start to the season the first
event attracted a healthy car count of 34 competitors. After six heat races
and a B-Main the top 20 drivers battled it out for the opening 25 lap finale
and when the chequered flag fell it was a familiar name in victory lane.
After a heat win and a second placed finish earlier in the
night former Australian Champion Joel Chadwick made a successful debut
driving for Andrew and Lyn May as he drove their immaculately presented #47
to a convincing win. After starting on the front row and leading the opening
14 laps Rylan Furler had to settle for the runner-up position while
Mildura’s Jordon Bolitho was impressive all evening and capped off a great
night as he filled the final podium position.
Michael “Spike” Spoljaric was next across the line while
Robert Heard completed the top five. Darryl Sloan had one of his best
meetings for some time as he finished sixth ahead of Bordertown’s James
Rodda, Ross Miller, Hayden Mason, and Aaron Kennett. Darryl Knuckey and Sam
Martin were only other finishers. Up until the final lap Martin was destined
for a result just outside the top five until contact with Tate Cowie robbed
them both of a better result.
The biggest casualty of the main event was Jess Alexander,
who’s night came to a premature end after inverting his bright pink and
black #84 in turn four.
Earlier in the night the heat winners were Jordon Bolitho
(2), Rylan Furler, Robert Heard, Lochie Evans and Joel Chadwick.
Rookie Hayden Mason made an immediate statement as he was
the only debutante to qualify for the A-Main after winning the B-main while
Leanne Turner, Victorian Aaron Kennett and Thomas Walkom also transferred
via the last chance qualifier.
The next event on the South Australian Wingless Sprint
calendar will be a double header at Bordertown’s Tolmer Speedway on Friday
October 10 and Saturday October 11, 2025. Last season an invitational field
of Wingless Sprints supported the Grand Re-Opening of the venue, and this
will be the first time that an open event has been scheduled at the newly
redesigned high-banked track.
The Friday night meeting will the see the Wingless Sprints
programmed along with the Formula 500’s at what will be the venue’s Opening
Night of the 2025/26 season while the action will step up the following
night as Round 1 of the SA State Series will take place.

BRE RACING ENGINES RETURNS AS RUMBLE QUARTER MIDGET SPONSOR
Leading Ohio-based Engine Builder Shares in Excitement of Annual Indoor Racing Event
ROSSBURG, OH (Sept. 25) – BRE Racing Engines, of McClure, OH, specializes in precision and attention to detail, which has led them to become one of the most respected and recognizable engine builders in the Quarter Midget racing industry. Owners Javin and Claire Mendoza see those same qualities within the operation of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales and have continued their partnership with the annual indoor racing event to sponsor the Quarter Midget division.
Contested on a purpose-built 1/7-mile concrete oval inside Fort Wayne’s (IN) Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center, the event dates this year will be December 19 and 20, 2025.
“BRE Racing Engines looks forward to sponsoring another great year at the Rumble,” chimed Javin and Claire. Claire continued, “every year, those who race the Rumble come back itching for more of this exciting and challenging event.”
The challenges come in the form of deviation from traditional Quarter Midget racing. First and foremost is the size of the racetrack. The industry standard for Quarter Midget racing is a 1/20-mile oval. The oval inside the Expo Center is nearly 2-and-a-half times bigger than that; resulting in much higher speeds than the racers are accustomed to. With increased speeds, drafting skills and reflexes play high dividends in a driver’s performance. Drivers in the BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midget division range from five to sixteen years of age.
“The Quarter Midget division, and its young drivers, adds to the unique concept of the Rumble,” noted promoter Larry Boos. “Sharing the same racetrack as the Midget, 600cc Midgets and go-karts throughout the weekend can be taunting and demanding for the younger drivers but entertaining for the race fans.”
“The Rumble has been one of our most favorite events in all our years of racing,” commented Javin. “The atmosphere is like none other – the size of the building, the size of the track, the size of the crowd we race in front of, and the competition level puts this event high on the ‘must do’ list.”
Each day/night of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales offers complete racing programs for the six-divisions of BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets.
Javin concluded, “our racers and customers benefit from our experience, professionalism and the highest standards in race engine preparation and assembly. The Quarter Midget racers at the Rumble do the same – they benefit from the experience and professionalism of a first-class indoor racing event.”
Complete event and ticket information for the Rumble in Fort Wayne will be released in November.

Tyler Ross Employing Calculated Risks To Accelerate
Success and Team Growth
Abbottstown, PA – September 23, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross knows very well that for a sprint car team to be successful, they can never stand still. A team can never assume that what worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
The Lincoln University, PA driver closed out August with positive momentum in his Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5 program, but when the team returned in mid-September, they were prepared to implement changes to keep their program moving forward.
SHOCKING
At Lincoln Speedway’s Weldon Sterner Memorial, Ross rolled out a new shock package.
While there is always a learning curve for any equipment change, this one was certainly good right out of the box. Ross logged the 6th quickest lap in Flight 2 qualifying and a runner-up finish in his heat race.
Ross started 12th in the A-main and was looking to move forward as he has done so often this season; however, a close encounter with another competitor on the start dropped him back a few positions. He was never able to fully recover the track position and came home 14th.
“We weren’t as bad as the finish looks,” a positive Ross said. “I got chopped on the start, and that cost me a few spots. Everyone is so close, so starts are really important. When you lose momentum like that, it’s just hard to make up those positions.”
BLACK AND WHITE
The following weekend, Ross unloaded his white-bodied car, a chassis and engine combination better suited for the demands of Williams Grove’s long straightaways. The car was brand new for 2025 and had only logged a few races earlier this summer.
Ross’s night got rolling with another solid qualifying effort, 6th overall. He backed it up with another 2nd-place run in his heat race, putting him 9th on the grid for the 25-lap feature. He moved forward early in the A-main and held the 8th spot at the halfway mark. In the closing laps, he slipped outside the top ten briefly but was able to battle back to secure a top-ten finish.
“We’re still battling brake issues with this car, so I’ll take 10th. Anxious to see what we can do with this car when we can get past that issue,” Ross shared.
“We are planning to run this car with High Limit at Bridgeport this weekend, as well as here at the National Open.”
Ross closed out this past weekend with a stop at BAPS Motor Speedway for the Kevin Gobrecht Classic. This time, he was strapped into his black-bodied No.5.
The night got off to a rough start with a poor qualifying lap, putting Ross deep in the starting lineup for his heat race. An 8th-place finish in that qualifying race translated to starting 20th in the A-main.
Ross saved his best for last. He charged from his 10th-row starting spot to finish 12th and earn the Hard Charger Award for the event.
“We knew changing our shock program was going to be a learning curve, but we still felt the need to make a change to try to be a bit better,” Ross explained.
“It might not have been the ideal time to do it this late in the season with a lot of big races happening, but I’m confident we will figure it out. It’s only been a few races with them, and there are things we have done well and not so well. We just have to keep digging.”

Spencer Bayston So Close at Roth Classic
PETERSEN MEDIA- Wrapping up a three-race stint with Tarlton Motorsports
during the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series’ CA swing,
Spencer Bayston saved his best for last as he nearly used last lap heroics
to win the Dennis Roth Classic only to come .021 seconds short as he ran
second.
“Anytime you get the chance to run with the Tarlton
Motorsports group you know it’s going to be a good trip,” Spencer Bayston
said. “It was great to unload with speed every time we hit the track, and it
was great to finish with a strong run on Saturday night.”
Checking in at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA on Saturday
night for the Dennis Roth Classic, Bayston got the night off to a great
start as he timed the Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive
Auto Sales backed No. 21 in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Lebanon, IN
driver mashed the throttle when the green flag was displayed and quickly
jumped out into the lead. Leading from green the checkered, Bayston’s win
not only locked him into the $83,000-to-win feature event, it also put him
in the all important Dash.
Pulling the three in the redraw, Bayston was able to gain a
spot and improve his starting a position by a row as his second place finish
put him on the front row of the ‘A’ alongside Kaleb Montgomery.
When the feature came to life, Bayston settled into third as
he chased after the lead duo of Montgomery and Corey Day. Looking strong in
third, a restart on the 13th lap saw David Gravel get by and put him back in
fourth.
A restart on the 18th lap saw the leaders get together, and
Bayston was able to dart to the lead, however the caution flew and put him
in second as David Gravel found himself out front.
When the action restarted Gravel paced the field though
Bayston didn’t let him out of his sights. Though Gravel did create a bit of
a gap, Bayston seemingly saved his best for the last laps as he closed in
with five to go, and made things exciting up front.
As the two raced through traffic, Bayston was all over
Gravel as the white flag flew. Getting into the wall a bit in turns one and
two, Bayston made a massive recovery down the back stretch and used a full
head of steam to pull alongside Gravel as they raced through three and four.
In a drag race coming to the checkered, Gravel was barely
able to fend Bayston off as he came up just short of the massive win and
fell just .021 seconds short of the big pay day.
“It really is a testament to the program that (crew chief)
Drew Warner runs with the ability to get myself comfortable that quick and
to be able to contend with the best cars in the country. I really want to
thank the entire Tarlton family as well as everyone associated with Tarlton
Motorsports for having me out to drive for them.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 32, Wins: 7, Top 5’s: 17, Top 10’s:

Pokorski banks solid Jackson Nationals debut
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 23, 2025 – In his first appearance at the prestigious 47th annual Jackson Nationals, Alex Pokorski acquainted himself quite nicely with the fast four-tenths-mile Jackson Motorplex in co-sanctioned Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association, Northern Outlaw Sprint Association, and Midwest Sprint Touring Series competition at Jackson, Minn., on Saturday, Sept. 20.
Behind the wheel of the No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team 410 Sprint Car, Pokorski was fast right out of the trailer, qualifying 13th overall in the strong 35-car field with a lap of 15.565 seconds.
After starting on the outside of the front row in the second heat race, the fifth-year Sprint Car campaigner fell back to seventh in the running order. He pulled off the racing surface on lap 7 after experiencing smoke from an overflow of oil.
Based on the Jackson Nationals points formula, Alex earned the 17th starting spot in the 24-car A-main field. He drove a smooth and consistent race on the way to a 21st place showing in his first Jackson Nationals 30-lap main event.
“I really liked Jackson,” Pokorski said. “I felt comfortable right away on the top of the track. As the track changed from track work, we didn't make the right changes. Eventually, the track came back to us as it dried out later in the feature. Being behind at that point, I spent the rest of the race trying to learn how to run the inside berm effectively. It was a bit challenging, but I had fun. It was encouraging to have speed early, and we learned some things on how to set up our car for bigger tracks.”
Pokorski is planning to make an appearance at the final event of the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season on Saturday, Sept. 27, at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

WORLD OF OUTLAWS SPRINT CARS SET FOR REGION'S ONLY
APPEARANCE OF 2025 SATURDAY AT SHARON
September 24, 2025
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway will close out the 96th anniversary season this Saturday night (September 27) as the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series invade the 3/8-mile Hartford, Ohio oval for the Federated Auto Parts Showdown. The Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods will also be part of the show. Warmups will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by qualifying and racing.
Saturday will be the season's only appearance in the eastern Ohio/western Pennsylvania region by "The Greatest Show on Dirt" and the final one of 2025 in the Buckeye State. Unfortunately, Mother Nature has claimed the last two scheduled WoO shows at Sharon including the May 24 event as well as this event one-year ago; however, Saturday's weather is looking perfect with sunshine and temps in the upper 70s.
The last time the World of Outlaws competed at Sharon was on May 18, 2024 when David Gravel pocketed a $12,000 payday for his first career Sharon win. The WoO completed both events at Sharon in 2023 as the May show was won by 10-time Series Champion, Donny Schatz, for his first Sharon "410" feature win. Brad Sweet topped the September show for the second straight year in route to his fifth Series championship. In 2021, Dave Blaney won in spectacular fashion over Sheldon Haudenschild for his 95th career WoO win, but first since 1997!
Prior to 2021, the World of Outlaws last appeared at Sharon on June 1, 2007 when the "King of the Outlaws", Steve Kinser, scored the victory. Kinser leads the way at Sharon with four WoO wins, while aside from Sweet, Danny Lasoski is the only other repeat winner with victories in 2002 and 2004. Besides Gravel, Schatz and Blaney, other WoO winners at Sharon with one victory include the retired racers of Jac Haudenschild (2006), Jason Meyers (2005), and Joey Saldana (2002).
Entering this all-Ohio WoO weekend (Millstream Speedway on Friday night), defending Series Champion, David Gravel, sits atop the standings. Gravel, who also leads the Series in victories at 14, has a 150-point lead on 11-time winner, Buddy Kofoid. Carson Macedo also has double digit victories in 2025 with 10 and is third in points. Two-time 2025 winner, Logan Schuchart, is fourth over Ohio fan favorite Sheldon Haudenschild, who also has two wins.
Schatz will look for his first win of 2025 as he's teamed up with Jason Sides for the first time this weekend, and despite already competing in four different rides, Schatz is still holding on to sixth in points. Bill Balog has had a solid sophomore season on the tour winning three times and is seventh. Positions 8-14 are made up of WoO rookies with Garet Williamson leading the way over Chris Windom, Cole Macedo, Hunter Schuerenberg, Zach Hampton, Skylar Gee, and Conner Morrell. Two other substitute drivers for platinum teams that will be on hand include Kerry Madsen aboard the Tony Stewart Racing #14 and Emerson Axsom in the KCP Racing #18.
The World of Outlaws will bring 16 full-time teams to Sharon on Saturday to take on the very best throughout Ohio, western Pa., and beyond. Sharon has completed just six Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Car events in 2025 as the World of Outlaws, Western PA Speedweek, and the Ohio Speedweek All Star Circuit of Champions events unfortunately all fell victim to Mother Nature in addition to the July 26 Bala Management "Super Series" event. The average car count in those six events is 30.
A.J. Flick ended a two-and-a-half-year winless drought at Sharon winning the May 10 opener. Dale Blaney then won the next two events aboard his brother Dave’s famous red #10. Danny Dietrich won his first “Lou Blaney Memorial” on August 9 worth $13,000. Two nights later, Brandon Spithaler got the monkey off his back with his first career Sharon “410” win. And most recently, Cap Henry, who is having a career best season throughout Ohio, won his fourth career race at Sharon in his 2025 debut on August 16.
Also on the program are the Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods racing for $800 to-win. The Econo Mods have completed seven events this season. Coleton Longwell leads the way with three victories including the most recent worth $1,200 on August 23. Joe Gabrielson is the only other repeat winner, while Brendan Warner and Garrett Calvert have one win each. The Econo Mods have averaged 28 cars per event this season, and another strong field expected Saturday in their final race of 2025.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award to the Econo Mods. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature.
The Performance Bodies "Nosed Out" program will award a $100 Performance Bodies gift card redeemable only at Wedge Motorsports to a driver in the Econo Mods. The recipient will be the driver that most closely beat out another competitor for any finishing position on the lead lap in those divisions. Tiebreaker will be the driver with the best finishing position.
There is no Sharon registration fee for Econo Mods. One-way driver radios are mandatory; channel 454.000. AMB/MyLaps transponders are required; rentals available for $25. If you have yet to register for the 2025 season, please bring the registration form with you completed https://www.sharonspeedway.com/downloads/get.aspx?i=1006835
Alcon Mechanical Econo Mod Feature Payoff: 1. $800 2. $400 3. $300 4. $250 5. $225 6. $220 7. $210 8. $200 9. $190 10. $185 11. $180 12. $175 13. $170 14-18. $165 19-24. $160.
Fans can not only experience viewing from the frontstretch and backstretch grandstands, but also from the infield fan zone, which includes concessions and restrooms. Sharon is the only track in the area to have viewing from the unique infield perspective. There will be times throughout the night when fans can cross on the frontstretch back and forth.

Lattomus Taking One Step Back To Take Two Forward
York Haven, PA – September 24, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91 team were building steady momentum as August came to a close. The young Lewes, Delaware driver was learning and adapting, producing better results and glimpses of the team’s potential.
Since then, over the past three weeks, they have struggled to achieve the same results, although the learning and adapting certainly continue.
There’s often more to changes in a race team’s performance than meets the eye. An improvement or a decline can stem from a lot of different factors. Luck of the draw when you qualify, track conditions, setup choices, decisions behind the wheel…there are a lot of factors any given night. Equipment differences are also part of that equation.
There is a lot to learn for a rookie 410 sprint car driver. Handling the horsepower, making split-second decisions behind the wheel, providing feedback to the crew without much experience to base it on, and dealing with the elevated level of competition are just the beginning.
Add equipment differences to that equation, and it gets even more complex and challenging for any driver, let alone a rookie. These aren’t excuses; they are the real challenges of the sport of sprint car racing.
While fans may not see the difference from their seat, since the beginning of the season, the 91 team has been racing two different cars on a rotating schedule. This not only builds depth to their program, but it also prevents a single motor from being ‘lapped out’ and in need of a refresh too quickly.
There are very few subtle differences between the cars, but the differences are enough that identical setups and driving styles aren’t guaranteed to produce the same performance.
“We had a very good stretch in what we call the NJ car, and I started to get used to and like the motor we have in that car,” Lattomus shared.
“The past few weeks, we have been racing what we call our PA car, which has a slightly different motor in it. The guys and I have been working hard to adjust and give that car what it wants to be fast.”
In simplest terms, differences between engines can affect where peak horsepower is reached during a lap. That can affect corner exit and/or corner entry speed, which then necessitate different chassis setups and/or driving styles to achieve equivalent lap times as another combination.
“Right now we are definitely in a slump, but we are taking one step back to make two steps forward,” Lattomus commented.
“We have been able to work together and start to show improvement over the last couple of races with this car. Our results may not show it, but as each night progresses, we improve.”
There is no better opportunity for a driver and team to learn than when they are facing challenges.
“My feedback and communication within the team has definitely been a big thing recently in trying to become better all around when we are struggling like this,” Lattmus explained.
“With only a handful of races left, we will have limited chances to show how much we have improved as a team, but we are heading in the right direction for sure.”
Lattomus will return to Williams Grove Speedway this Friday, then will take on the High Limit Racing series at Bridgeport Motorsports Park on Saturday.
The race at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, which is located in Swedesboro, NJ, is a big one for Lattomus, not only because the touring professional series is coming to town but because he has family and friends right across the Delaware River bridge from the event, giving them a great opportunity to see the young Delaware driver compete in person.
The following weekend, Lattomus will compete twice with the World of Outlaws, first at New Egypt Speedway in NJ, then at Lincoln Speedway in PA.

Skagit Speedway
Alger, WA - The final race weekend of 2025 is here. It's time for the fourth annual Survive the 55 with the IMCA Modifieds. Join us at Skagit Speedway this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26-27, as some of the best Modified drivers battle it out for 55 laps and $10,260 – the highest paying Modified race on the West Coast! Plus, you won't want to miss the last appearance of the CGE Garage Midgets on Friday and the 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday.
For the fourth time, some of the best IMCA Modified drivers flock to Skagit Speedway for the Survive the 55. Jon DeBenedetti was the inaugural winner back in 2022, with Grey Ferrando winning in 2023 and Tom Berry Jr. winning in 2024. The Skagit Speedway IMCA Modifieds wrapped up their 2025 season points chase this past Saturday, Sept. 20, and Jeff Westergard won his second Skagit Speedway points title. Westergard finished the season with two wins, seven top fives, and eight top 10s in eight features raced. The Sedro-Woolley, WA native was the only driver to never finish outside the top ten in all eight races. Adam Holtrop ended the year second in points, eight points shy of Westergard. Holtrop had seven top fives and seven top 10s in eight features raced. The only time he missed the top five was May 3, when he finished 11th. James Bundy finished third in points with three top fives and seven top 10s in eight features raced.
Cole Logan tied Westergard with the most wins this year, both winning twice, with Logan also taking home rookie of the year honors. Last year, Tyson Blood was the highest-finishing driver from the State of Washington, after starting eighth, he picked up two spots to finish sixth. Ferrando was the hard charger, moving up 12 positions to finish ninth after starting 21st.
The CGE Garage Midgets wrapped up their season on Friday, Sept. 19, on Night One of Season Championship weekend. They will be the support division on Friday, just like they were in 2024. Nick Evans got the win that night after starting fifth. Shane Smith won the season points championship this year with two wins and eight top fives in eight races, not missing the top five once. Ryan Orchard finished second in points with three wins, six top fives, and eight top 10s in eight features. Evans finished third with no wins, five top fives, and seven top 10s in eight features.
The 360 Sprint Cars are here one more time for their final appearance of the season. They were the support class in 2024 as well, and Trey Starks won that night with Colton Heath charging from sixth to second. Starks finished the regular season on a high note, wrapping up championships in both the 410 and 360 Sprint Car Divisions. The driver from Puyallup finished the year with five wins, nine top fives, and 10 top 10s in 11 features raced. Jason Solwold finished second in the points with two wins, seven top fives, 10 top 10s, in 11 features raced. Heath wrapped the top three with one win, eight top fives, and 10 top 10s in 11 features.

Landon Brooks logs laps at Thunderbowl Raceway with Fall Nationals Friday up next
By Gary Thomas
Tulare, CA…After winning the Last Chance Showdown in convincing fashion, Landon Brooks was able to advance forward in the main event, capping off a night of competition with the World of Outlaws at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.
“I definitely wish we could have gotten Friday in to have something to build off of going into the Saturday show,” Brooks said after his first 410 start with the newly formed Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise team. “I felt good by the end of the night though. I just didn’t get qualified well enough to start it off and that put us in a hole.”
The Yuba City driver began the Dennis Roth Classic by qualifying 19th in a stout field of 37 cars aboard the Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Ent/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount.
A seventh-place result in the heat race placed him into the Last Chance Showdown, where he started from the outside of row one. He got the jump at the waving of the green flag and never looked back on way to victory.
Starting 21st in a rare 28-car field, Brooks hung around the 20th position over the first half of the race.
The 21-year-old then began to climb forward over the final half, getting up to 15th at one point, before crossing the stripe in 16th to wrap up the night.
Next up for Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise is the Friday night portion of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.
The 32nd annual event held in memory of the late Stephen Allard finishes off the season at the famed quarter mile bullring.
In 2023 Brooks won a Winged 360 Sprint Car show at the track and ran third at the Fall Nationals driving for Tiner-Hirst Enterprise.
“I look forward to getting back to Chico one last time on Friday,” Brooks commented. “A couple years ago I had a lot of success at Silver Dollar Speedway with Steve and Kyle so hopefully that will continue this weekend.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via www.silverdollarspeedway.com while www.floracing.com will have live coverage.

Kaleb Johnson Improves Throughout 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – ROSSBURG, Ohio (Sept. 22, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson finished one spot shy of tying his season-best Kubota High Limit Racing result last Saturday during the 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway.
Johnson and Team DGRD decided to tackle the High Limit doubleheader at the half-mile oval with the weather forecast showing wet weather at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn.
“We hated to miss Jackson, but we ended up getting two nights in at Eldora,” he said. “From Friday to Saturday I got more comfortable and the crew guys did a great job. I was able to race better once I did that.”
Johnson opened Friday’s program by qualifying 16th quickest in his group. He advanced from eighth to sixth place in a heat race and from third to second place in the B Main to transfer into the back of the main event. Johnson ended the night with a 21st-place result.
“We didn’t qualify very good and that put us behind on Friday, but we were at least able to make the feature and run the laps,” he said. “That was important for Saturday. We continued to get better every time we hit the track.”
Improvement continued to show on Saturday as Johnson maneuvered from sixth to fourth place during a qualifier to lock into the main event. He started 15th and battled for a top 10 before finishing 13th.
“We were racing for a top 10 and I made a couple of mistakes and wasn’t able to recover,” he said. “It was great from where we started in qualifying on Friday.”
The team will head to Pennsylvania to compete this Friday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Saturday at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown and Sunday at Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run. Sunday’s event is a High Limit Racing show.
“I’m looking forward to it and going to two tracks I haven’t been to,” he said. “I have limited laps at Williams Grove and haven’t been to Lincoln or Path Valley. I want to make all the A Mains and get as many laps as possible.”

Sept. 19 – Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio – Qualifying: 16; Heat race: 6 (8); B Main: 2 (3); Feature: 21 (21).

Dover Records Top Five During Jackson Nationals to Lock Up MSTS Championship
Inside Line Promotions – JACKSON, Minn. (Sept. 22, 2025) – Jack Dover wrapped up the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars championship last Saturday when he produced a fourth-place result at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted the Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids.
It marked Dover’s first career 410 series championship and the second straight MSTS title for Tim Estenson Motorsports. Additionally, Dover became the first driver to win both the 410 and 360 MSTS championships as he claimed the 360 title in 2019.
“We expected to put ourselves in a position to contend for the championship so it was relieving to accomplish it,” he said. “It’s rewarding to deliver a championship to our team and the partners who support us.”
The Jackson Nationals opener rained out, leaving just Saturday’s finale as the lone race of the weekend.
“We were fastest in hot laps and second in our qualifying group,” he said. “They reworked the track so it was too good and everybody was fast in the heat race.”
Dover finished fourth in his heat race to advance into the King of the Hill. He placed seventh in that race to line up on the inside of the fourth row in the main event, which was sanctioned by the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series and the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association along with the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars.
“We got really fast about halfway through,” he said. “We had a shot at third or second, but the red came out with about six laps to go and we finished where we restarted – fourth. I feel like before the red came out we ran them down from a straightaway and traffic has a little to do with that. To be competitive and run fourth to Austin McCarl, who has a lot of laps with the World of Outlaws and High Limit this year and is the Knoxville Raceway track champion, as well as Ryan Timms, who won the Knoxville Nationals and Huset’s Speedway championship, shows how strong our team is. It feels like we’re getting the speed we’ve been looking for.”
Dover will make his debut at Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., this Saturday during the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series season finale. He has two top fives and three top 10s in four IRA features this season.
“The way this car has been working and how we’re figuring things out, I feel really good going into this weekend,” he said.
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 20 – Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 4 (4); King of the Hill: 7 (7); Feature: 4 (7).

Starks Wins Final Skagit Speedway Points Races to Secure 410 and 360 Track Championships
Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (Sept. 22, 2025) – Trey Starks made the most of Championship Weekend at Skagit Speedway, where he won both the 410ci and 360ci winged final points race of the season to earn the championship in each division.
That pushes Starks’ victory total to 10 triumphs this season, scoring double-digit wins for the second straight year and the fourth time in his career. Additionally, Starks became the first driver in 25 years and only the second person ever to capture those sprint car championships in the same season at Skagit Speedway.
“We did exactly what we needed and capped it off with two wins,” he said. “We had to work for both of them, but we ended up on top on Championship Weekend so it was pretty cool.
“There’s a fine line of racing hard and putting yourself in a bad spot. It was being cautious at the same time as moving forward. It was a good, smooth night each night. The track conditions were pretty slick, about the least amount of grip we’ve seen all year. I think that played into our hand. The pace slowed down so we could make our own pace a little and search around the track. It was two of the best nights of the year as far as our performance and the track conditions and the way it played out.”
Starks produced nearly identical results both nights by qualifying second quickest and advancing from fourth to second place in a heat race to make the feature redraw. On Friday, Starks lined up third. He took the lead on Lap 20 en route to his division-best fifth triumph.
“I fell to fourth on the start as the inside didn’t get as good of a start,” he said. “I think by the seventh lap we were into third. We got into second just before a restart around the one-third point. From there it was trying to track down Jason (Solwold). My preferred lane was through the middle and Jason was kind of finding it as well. I just had to wait for him to search around to open the lane lower on the track. Once he did that I was able to make my move and stay to his inside entering turn one. After we were in clean air the car felt really good. However, we had a tire going down about the last five laps and almost didn’t make it to the end. It was about as flat as it could be when the race ended. I’m surprised it didn’t explode.”
On Saturday, Starks started the 30-lap main event on the outside of the front row. He quickly took the top spot, but fell to second on Lap 15 before regaining the lead for good on Lap 24 for his division-best fourth victory.
“We grabbed the lead early and got to traffic,” he said. “I got slowed down a bunch. The track was really slick across so if you weren’t in the grip you were losing speed. I tried to make a move a lap or two early and got slowed down so we ended up losing the lead. We started chasing the leader back down and we had a caution. On the restart he went to the bottom and I went to the top to wind my momentum up. We had enough speed I was able to slide him into turns one and two.”
It marked the fourth straight year Starks has won the 410 championship at Skagit Speedway, where he was both the driver and owner champion this year, in 2023 and in 2022. Last year he was the owner champion while placing second in the driver standings. This year marked his second straight season of winning the 360 championship at the track.
Starks plans on wrapping up the season Oct. 16-18 at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., during the 31st annual Trophy Cup.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Produce Electrifying Win During Dennis Roth Classic
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Sept. 22, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel captured the $83,000-to-win Dennis Roth Classic in thrilling fashion last Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway.
The victory was the team’s 15th total win of the season and it marked Gravel’s fourth career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series triumph at the tricky track – tied for the most in Series history.
Following a rainout on Friday, the marquee event concluded on Saturday with Gravel setting quick time during qualifying for the 19th time this season. He then won a heat race before placing fifth in the dash. That lined him up on the inside of the third row in the main event.
Gravel dropped to sixth on the start before climbing back into the top five on Lap 4. He moved to fourth on Lap 12 and to third one lap later. With the top two making contact and going to the work area, Gravel inherited the lead on Lap 19. He led the remainder of the 35-lap feature, which concluded in a side-by-side finish at the line with Gravel edging Spencer Bayston by 0.021 seconds.
“I saw (Bayston) go around me coming to the white and knew I had to fill the hole in (turns) one and two,” Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I knew I wanted to get under Gauge (Garcia) there (entering turn three) and just drove in way too hard and couldn’t stick the middle and had to slide all the way across, and I figured he was coming with a run.
“What a race. Crazy deal what happened in the front there (between Kaleb Montgomery and Corey Day) and gave us a shot to win there. I think if those two guys don’t get together, we probably don’t have a shot to win the race. I’m just glad to hang on. You don’t want to lose races like that, especially big paying ones. It feels good to win another race at Tulare.”
Gravel extended his World of Outlaws points lead to 150 points heading into the Buckeye Brawl presented by NOS Energy Drink this Friday at Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio, followed by the Federated Auto Parts Showdown at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio, on Saturday.
Friday marks the first World of Outlaws race at Millstream Speedway since 1994. Gravel won last year’s World of Outlaws event at Sharon Speedway.

Andy Forsberg Puts String Of Tough Luck Behind Him As He Wins Adobe Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA: The last month has been trying for Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team. Saturday night was hopefully a turning point for Forsberg and company for the home stretch of 2025 as he raced to a Sprint Car Challenge Tour win at the Adobe Cup in Petaluma, CA.
“It has been a rough couple of weeks for our team, and this was hopefully the medicine we needed for a strong finish to the year,” Andy Forsberg said. “We were pretty good all night, and in the feature the track was as ‘Petaluma’ as you could get which is right up my alley and we were able to fend off (Sean) Becker and (Justyn) Cox to grab the win.”
With 23 cars checked in for the $5,000-to-win even, Forsberg kicked the night off by timing the Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax/Wilkie Masonry backed No. 92 in sixth quickest in qualifying time trials.
Earning the front row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA was able to get the jump as the field was shown the green flag. Leading from flag to flag, Forsberg’s win put him in the High Sierra Industries Dash where a third place finish put him in the second row of the feature event.
Settling into third whe the race came to life, a myriad of stoppages hindered the events flow, but Forsberg was able to use the early restarts to his advantage as he took the second spot on the 10th lap, and then surged his way into the lead on the 18th marker.
On a very fast Petaluma Speedway surface, the lead trio of Forsberg, Becker, and Cox seemed to be lighting fast as they spent much of their time playing a high speed game of chess through traffic when green flag runs allowed.
Able to make all the right decisions in traffic, Forsberg fended off to duo and recorded his ninth win of the 2025 season.
“Really thankful that my team has stuck behind me, and continued to work hard through the rut we were in,” Forsberg said. “Hoping we can take some of this momentum and run well again this weekend in Chico, CA.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 43, Wins-9, Top 5’s-22, Top 10’s-28
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are slated to take part in this weekend’s Fall Nationals in Chico, CA on Friday and Saturday.

NOONAN CHASING CONSISTENCY
HEADING into his second season in 360/LS Sprintcars, Koby Noonan has one main goal and is to be a consistent top five contender throughout his 2025-26 season campaign.
After finishing just outside the top three (fourth) during last season’s SRA Series point standings in the 360/LS Sprintcar class, Noonan has mapped out a 14 night season schedule throughout Victoria and it is where he is aiming to be a consistent top five runner.
“I’m very excited about my second season in 360/LS Sprintcar racing, and I feel that I learned quite a lot during my first season, which I’m hoping can be the launching pad for an improved run this season,” enthused the 24-year-old from Bairnsdale in Victoria, who is really looking forward to being able to race twice on home soil – Bairnsdale Speedway – this season.
“My main goal for this season is to be a top five contender on a consistent basis, and if I can do that, I’m hoping I can improve on my fourth place finish in last season’s SRA Series point score.”
Apart from being consistent, Noonan is looking to continue his steep Sprintcar learning curve.
“When it comes to Sprintcar racing, there is so much to learn, and as they say, it’s basically a five-year apprenticeship, and here I am in my second year,” the VA # 26 KZS Auto Works / Sondra’s Hairdressers supported Cool car driver commented.
“I feel that I’m growing in confidence with every outing – both out there racing and within the car itself – and I’m hoping that can continue this season.”
During the off season, Noonan made the massive trip up to Cairns Speedway in North Queensland to compete in the Thunder in the Cane Fields over two weekends in August. It was a mixed run for Noonan and his team, which saw them in the wars during the opening weekend with two crashes and then they bounced back the following weekend to come away with a pair of top 10 finishes.
The first outing of the new season for Noonan is set to be this Friday night (September 26) at his home track: Bairnsdale Speedway.
KZS Motorsport would like to thank their 2025-26 season supporters:

Dakota Albright 4th at Wayne Albright Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to Merced Speedway to race in honor of his late father, Wayne, Dakota Albright picked up a fourth-place finish during the Wayne Albright Memorial.
“This is obviously a race that means the world to me, and it is one that I want to win very badly each year,” Albright said. “We had a really good car, but with the way the track was in the feature I just couldn’t get going to battle up front.”
Hitting the high banked ¼ mile in the first qualifying group, Albright got off to a solid start as he timed his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Johnson and Matos CPA’s/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35jr in ninth quickest overall.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Waterford, CA driver got a great jump when the green flag flew and showed he may be a problem for the field in the feature event.
Grabbing the lead, Albright raced his way to the win which then put him in the second row of the Wayne Albright Memorial feature event, which he looked to defend his 2024 title.
When the feature came to life, Albright quickly took the third spot as he began chasing after the lead duo as they ripped around the extremely slick bullring.
Slipping back to fourth on the eighth lap, Albright started to get too free and searched around to find grip as he slipped back to fifth. Running in fifth as the track started to take rubber Albright settled in line.
Keeping his tires under him and in the rubber, he was able to make a move on the last lap to net a fourth place finish.
“I thought the track would take rubber a little earlier in the feature so we just got too free as it cleaned off,” Albright said. “Just missed it, but happy to get another top-five.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Johnson and Matos CPA’s, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nurcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright will have a few weekends off before returning to Placerville Speedway for the Hangtown 100 in November.

Doney-Lawson Racing with big results in busy weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer September 22, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (September 22, 2025) – The 15th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, proved to be a busy effort for Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, entering not only the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League portion of the three-day turned two-day program, but Xavier Doney, the eldest of the Doney teammates and siblings, entered the POWRi WAR non-wing portion, as well. When the dust finally settled in the Show-Me State, Doney-Lawson Racing had accumulated a pair of top-tens, and incidentally, one with the wing on and one with the wing off.
Xavier Doney, ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter, earned each of the aforementioned top-tens, climbing ten spots to finish tenth in Friday’s POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League A-Main, followed by a ninth-place score in Saturday’s WAR non-wing A-Main. In fact, Doney was well on his way to a top-five in Friday’s WAR main event, that until a steering issue sent the Odessa, Missouri, native to the tail; he was racing in the third position with seven laps recorded.
Although missing the top-ten, Natalie Doney, younger sister and teammate to Xavier Doney, had a productive weekend in her own right, qualifying for each of the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League A-Mains on September 19-20 and highlighting all attempts with a 17th-place score on Saturday – a six-position advancement.
Xavier Doney’s stat chart now includes 17 top-tens on the season, two victories to boot. Natalie Doney, chasing Rookie of the Year honors with POWRi, owns one top-ten on the season, as well an impressive 11-spot Hard Charger Award.
ON DECK: Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing are unsure of upcoming plans. More news to be posted in the coming days.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (September 22, 2025) – For the final time in 2025, Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing joined the 410 Sprint Car field at Fremont Speedway, and like so many occasions prior, the Sandusky, Ohio, native raced his way to a top-ten, concluding the facility’s final sprint car event of the season with an eighth-place result from seventh on the grid.
Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer No. 15C sprint car, is a perfect four-for-four at Fremont during the month of September, finishing no worse than eighth even amongst the All Star Circuit of Champions in the Jim Ford Classic doubleheader.
“We’re rolling right along and it feels pretty good. We’ve been slowly building our program for next year…trying some things here and there to see what could better our performances. We’re almost out of time,” Andrews said. “Hats off to this entire team and all of our partners. It’s been a fun year and we’re privileged to be in this position. We’re going to keep working and hopefully cap our season on a great note. We’re excited to rejoin the Outlaws this weekend at Millstream.

Aaron Reutzel & RSR earn three straight podiums in visits
to Lawrenceburg and Eldora; New Jersey and Pennsylvania on deck
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 22, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 22, 2025) – Three nights of competition resulted in three straight podium appearances for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), highlighting their swing through Indiana and Ohio with an Eldora Speedway triumph on Friday, September 19 – the team’s 11th victory of the year. The $12,000 score, occurring in Eldora’s 4-Crown Nationals High Limit Racing opener, gave the team a heightened sense of redemption, as Reutzel was injured at the Speedway during Kings Royal Week in mid-July.
A dramatic ending, to say the least, Reutzel, ace of Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, earned his Eldora victory in the closing circuits, taking advantage of a three-to-go restart to work by High Limit Racing championship rival, Rico Abreu.
As noted, it was an all-podium week for the team out of Knoxville, Iowa, launching action with a runner-up score – edged out by less than a second – at Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on Wednesday, September 17, racing on to lead 23 laps before finishing third in Eldora Speedway’s 4-Crown Nationals finale on Saturday, September 20.
“It was a great week for this race team and I’m proud of everyone. We knew Eldora was going to be a little bit of a mental hurdle, but Aaron [Reutzel] persevered and got the job done…that says so much about what this team is capable of handling,” Brian Ridge, owner of RSR said. “We’re ready to head back east and do it again. The title chase is close and the schedule is running thin. We’re going to do what we can to keep this team in championship contention.”
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel will continue their 2025 High
Limit Racing campaign with a return to the Mid-Atlantic, set to visit

Justyn Cox finishes Placerville Speedway campaign with runner up at Forni-Humphreys Classic
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing have been one of the more potent combinations over the final stretch of the Berco Redwood championship season at Placerville Speedway.
Cox ultimately put a bow on the Placerville campaign this past Saturday by bringing home a runner up effort during the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic.
When all was said and done, he ended up finishing sixth in the final standings with a victory on August 9th at the competitive quarter mile.
“Though the final point result wasn’t ideal for what we had in mind, the goal of getting back racing steady and building mental confidence was achieved,” Cox stated. “The last handful of races we had a shot to win every show and that’s what means the most to me. I really had fun running my first full point season at Placerville and am super thankful to have such a great track so close to home.”
The championship finale this past Saturday saw him qualify third in Group B time trials, before dominating his heat race for victory.
Settling into fourth on the start of the 30-lap feature, Cox began to hound point leader and eventual track champion Tony Gomes. The pair raced close together in exciting fashion for multiple circuits, prior to the Clarksburg driver assuming the spot on lap 18.
Cox continued to be on the attack as the race wound down and would slip past Shane Golobic to grab the runner up position with just a few laps remaining. He went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag in that spot, recording his third result of second or better in the final four point races.
“Being one spot short of a third Forni is a tough pill to swallow, but I did all I could and know circumstances just didn’t allow much of a shot to contend for a win there getting to second so late in the race,” Cox elaborated.
The 31-year-old driver spoke about this season and gave his thanks to all involved.
“I am thankful for Josh, Roger and Lori for allowing this to happen in 2025, as it was a big undertaking for them to run two cars for most of the year. The unwavering support from all the sponsors was huge, Dave Lippert was a big part of the help as well and I want to send a big thank you to him.”
Cox also discussed being teamed up with sponsor Berco Redwood / Berry Lumber this season.
“Having Tim Berry and family with Berco Redwood / Berry Lumber back this year was very exciting for myself and our team. Tim has been a staple of my career for over a decade now. He’s supported me with many different teams and is always in my corner. I was so happy to pair him up with the 42x team and fly the Berco colors all season long at a track is title sponsor of. It felt amazing getting Berco back in victory lane on a car at Placerville, as well as just being associated with his great brand yet again.”

Arenz tallies 2025 victory No. 3 at 141
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 17, 2025 – Although it may not be his home track, 141 Speedway is the next best thing for Travis Arenz.
After earning the signature win of his racing career on June 5 with the Kubota High Limit Racing Series, Arenz backed it up with his first career Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main triumph at the unique third-mile semi-banked egg-shaped clay oval in Francis Creek, Wis., on Saturday, Sept. 13.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor opened the night by qualifying 10th in the 25-car field with a lap of 11.232 seconds. After winning the first eight-lap heat race, Arenz won the first four-lap dash to claim the pole of the 30-lap main event.
The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion fell to second on the opening lap and trailed race leader Danny Schlafer until using a low move to seize the top spot on lap 17.
Arenz, who claimed the 2016 Northern Sport Mod title at 141 Speedway, would not be denied the rest of the way en route to his second IRA A-main victory of the 2025 season, third overall main event triumph of the current campaign, third career IRA A-main win, and 74th overall A-main victory in 17 seasons of competition.
He opened the doubleheader weekend by qualifying 12th in the 29-car field at Wilmot Raceway on Friday, Sept. 12. After finishing third in the third heat race, Arenz advanced from the 11th starting spot to claim a fourth place showing in the 30-lap main event.
“I ran our backup car this weekend,” Arenz said. “This car tends to react to changes differently than my other chassis do, so we made what he had work. The car was not very good at Wilmot early in the night. However, it got better, and we had a respectable fourth place finish. We weren’t as competitive as we should have been, but I knew finishing was important.
“At 141, the car was decent in the heat race and dash, but again I had to make it work,” he said. “The car was much better in the feature. After making a few adjustments, I was able to move around the track as I needed to earn another victory at 141.”
Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team are set to enter the 47th annual Jackson Nationals at the four-tenths-mile semi-banked Jackson Motorplex dirt oval in Jackson, Minn., on Friday, Sept. 19, and Saturday, Sept. 20.
The 410 Sprint Car portion of the event is co-sanctioned by the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association, Northern Outlaw Sprint Association, and Midwest Sprint Touring Series. RaceSaver 305 Sprint Cars are also on the card both nights.
Racing program on Friday, Sept. 19 features the Tweeter Memorial presented by Joel Pingeon Trucking for $5,000 to win and $500 to start.
The Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, for $12,000 to win and $1,200 to start.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Celebrate Historic Win
at BAPS Motor Speedway
York Haven, PA – September 17, 2025

Image Credit: Tim Basehore / WRT Speedwerx
Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing captured yet another dominant victory this past Saturday at BAPS Motor Speedway, marking their impressive 14th win of the 2025 racing season. This victory, however, holds extra significance as it also marks Jackson’s 60th career win, adding another milestone to the long list of accomplishments in his storied racing career.
This weekend’s triumph, which came in Winged Sportsman competition, could very well be Jackson’s final time behind the wheel of a winged sportsman car, adding an air of irony and celebration to the already remarkable feat. As Jackson winds down his career, he continues to show the skill, determination, and consistency that have made him one of the most respected drivers in the Sportsman division.
“Realistically, I thought we would get to 50 as we started the year at 46, but I didn’t imagine 60 was in the cards,” said Jackson. “I’ve won a lot of races in my career, but this is the most we’ve ever had in one season. It’s been an unbelievable season.”
Jackson’s journey to victory lane started off with a solid performance in his heat race, where he finished exactly where he started—4th. The effort set him up well for the A-Main event, where he would line up in the same position. By the time the green flag waved, Jackson was already up to 2nd place, and within a handful of laps, he took the lead. From there, it was all Jackson, as he controlled the race and led the rest of the way to take the checkered flag with an impressive margin of 6.034 seconds.
“Honestly, the track wasn’t really to our liking early in the night, but Scott really convinced me the car would come to us later, and boy was he right,” said Jackson. “The car was so good come feature time, and when the car feels that good, you really just have to not mess it up.”
With only a handful of races remaining in the 2025 season, Jackson remains focused on finishing strong. The team will head to Path Valley Speedway next Saturday for one night of wingless competition.
“We’ve got a few shows left to go on the season and I’m
looking forward to closing things out strong,” he said. “We’ve been so good
in the wingless car all season, so I’m feeling confident in our chances, and
I’m just having a lot of fun these days at the track.”
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, and the Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway
in Iowa.
TSR will operate under the High Limit Racing franchise
currently held by Rico Abreu Racing. High Limit Racing has approved the
lease of the franchise to TSR.
“Rico has proven to be a tremendous talent behind the wheel,
but also a great ambassador for the sport,” said Tony Stewart, owner, TSR.
“Rico and I have been good friends for a long time, and I’ve always admired
the way he races. He competes with passion, and he is the gold standard for
the way he represents his partners and the sport.
“Rico is the complete package, and we’re genuinely excited
to have him join our program.”
Abreu is one of the most recognizable names in sprint car
racing. The 33-year-old from St. Helena, California, currently leads the
High Limit Racing championship standings thanks to a series-leading nine
victories. He is the 2014 USAC National Midget champion and a two-time
winner of the prestigious Chili Bowl Nationals.
“Driving for Tony Stewart Racing is a dream come true,”
Abreu said. “Tony has built one of the most respected programs in all of
racing, and having the chance to represent TSR feels like a huge reward.
Tony has been a friend and mentor to me for many years, and to go racing
with him in High Limit Racing is a surreal opportunity that I’m excited to
begin.”
The partnership between Abreu and Stewart underscores TSR’s
commitment to building on its legacy of success and competing at the highest
level of sprint car racing. Full details of team partners and the 2026
racing schedule will be released at a later date.

Petaluma Speedway Adobe Cup welcomes SCCT this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Petaluma, CA…With the season winding down the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is prepared to sanction the $5,000-to-win “Adobe Cup” at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday September 20th.
The evening of family fun at the 14th annual Adobe Cup marks the final appearance of the season for SCCT at Sonoma County’s longest running entertainment venue. Following this Saturday’s outing the Sprint Car Challenge Tour will have just two events remaining in 2025.
Adding to the excitement at the event will be the annual Bob McCoy Super Stock Memorial, along with the BCRA-WMR Midget Super Series.
The familiar Petaluma 3/8-mile oval routinely produces thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing, as lapped traffic can create some of the most frenetic competition of any venue on tour. Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 3:45pm and cars on track around 4.
“We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour as part of the 14th annual Adobe Cup this weekend,” said Petaluma Promoter Rick Faeth. “Petaluma Speedway doesn’t hold as many Winged Sprint Car shows nowadays, but the fans have certainly flocked to the track when we have. The Bob McCoy Memorial has also become a big stock car race, and the Midget Super Series has been successful this season, so we think this will be a superb program for everyone to attend.”
This Saturday’s 14th annual Adobe Cup marks the first event for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since finishing WST Speedweek in July.
Sacramento’s Austin Wood goes into Petaluma sitting atop the standings, as he looks to become the youngest SCCT champion in its history. Wood hopes to secure his first win of the season at the Adobe Cup.
Yuba City’s Seth Standley has moved to second in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings following Speedweek. Standley finds himself 46 points back of Wood and will be gunning for a solid night at the Adobe Cup to help close the gap.
Cole Schroeder has also been a common sight this year and has positioned himself third in the points with three shows remaining. The Bozeman, Montana driver stands 50 markers out of the top spot heading into the $5,000-to-win Adobe Cup.
Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion Max Mittry of Redding and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes complete the top five in the Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings with three rounds left.
The remainder of the top 10 in SCCT points is filled out by Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato, Brentwood’s Adrianna Demartini, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Marysville’s Carson Hammes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.
Multi-time Adobe Cup winner Andy Forsberg will be one of the favorites in the field on Saturday. The two-time SCCT champ ran second to first time Sprint Car Challenge Tour winner Chance Grasty during the visit in June.

Dave was not just a race organizer. He was a believer - in hope, in fans, in the ability of motorsports to create real-world change. For years, his partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the staff at the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway gave this event a soul. And when Dave came to 26 Promotions, he carried his wish: to see the Trophy Cup continue, with its charitable focus shifting to the Rayce Rudeen Foundation - a cause dedicated to saving lives and supporting families affected by addiction. We did not just accept Dave’s challenge. We embraced his legacy with everything we have. Today, the Trophy Cup remains a celebration of speed and skill, with a focus on the race fans perspective - but more importantly, it’s a rallying point for compassion, community, and healing throughout Tulare and beyond. Behind the scenes, some faces may change, but the soul of this event remains the same. We’re proud to work alongside Steve Faria, the passionate Tulare Thunderbowl team, and volunteers like the Gomez family, whose love for the sport and selfless dedication transform this race into something profoundly meaningful.

Jett Barnes caps Placerville Speedway season with fourth place finish at Forni-Humphreys Classic
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Rookie Sprint Car driver Jett Barnes wrapped up the Berco Redwood championship season at Placerville Speedway on Saturday, racing to a solid fourth-place finish in the main event.
Barnes, who made his Sprint Car debut at the track in July, won a feature at Placerville last month and was happy to finish off the red clay campaign with a strong night aboard the Clayton Snow Racing/ Gary Silva Ranches No. 7.
“It was a good way for us to end the Placerville Speedway Sprint Car season with a top five last Saturday,” Barnes said. “I want to give a big thank you to Clayton Snow and the whole team for their support.”
The most recent point race at Placerville on August 9th had seen Barnes qualify P2 and then run second for a majority of the main event, only to have issues late in the going hamper the strong outing.
At the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic this past Saturday he began the program by qualifying sixth in Group A time trials. Barnes then captured the night’s second heat race, placing him into the top eight redraw.
“I pulled the 23 pill to start things off, which put us in the first group of qualifying,” Barnes stated. “I felt like I made some decent laps in time trials and ended up sixth. That put us on the front row of the heat race and fortunately, I was able to get the jump and win it.”
Lining up on the inside of row three the Visalia driver ran among the top five for the duration of the 30-lapper, while being locked in several tight battles. With a few circuits left he solidified the fourth spot, where he went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag.
“The track was good in the feature and made for a lot passing. I found the right line late in the race and was able to bring home a fourth-place result. I always want better but to run top five in a stout field of cars was a positive.”
Next up for Barnes and Clayton Snow Racing will be the annual Fall Nationals at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway.
The two-night Winged 360 Sprint Car event will be his third time competing at the famed quarter mile.
Tickets can be purchased at www.silverdollarspeedway.com and live coverage will be provided by Flo Racing.

Skagit Speedway
Alger, WA – It's time to crown a champion this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 19-20, at Skagit Speedway. Join us for Season Championship weekend presented by The Skagit Casino Resort. The 360 Sprint Cars, CGE Garage Midgets, and Hornets race Friday, while the KarMART 410 Sprint Cars, Sportsman Sprint Cars, and IMCA Modifieds race Saturday. Saturday night, the sky will light up with a post-race fireworks show.
FRIDAY:
The 360 Sprint Cars return for the final time this year at Skagit Speedway as Trey Starks looks to go back-to-back and lock up his second 360 Sprint Car championship. The last time the 360 Sprint Cars were at Skagit Speedway, Jason Solwold won after starting on the pole. Cam Smith pulled out to the early advantage before Solwold tracked him down late in the race. Starks finished second that night. Starks leads the points firmly with 1112 and a 76-point cushion to Solwold, who has 1036 points. Colton Heath is in third with 1009 points, Levi Hillier is fourth with 971 points, and Tanner Holm rounds out the top five with 885 points.
The top three in points (Starks, Solwold, and Heath) in 10 A-Mains have all only missed finishing inside the top-10 once. Starks and Heath are tied for the most top-fives with eight, while Solwold has six top-fives. Starks has the most wins in the division at four, Solwold and Jesse Schlotfeldt have a pair, while Heath and Colby Thornhill both have one.
The 360 Summer Challenge Series wraps up this weekend at Skagit Speedway with Heath leading the way in points. Hillier is 20 points behind Heath, and Levi Kuntz is in third, 95 points behind Hillier. Destry Miller is fourth, and Bill Rude is fifth. Those top five in points are the only five that have participated in five of the six races so far. To be eligible for the points fund payout, you have to compete in all six races.
The CGE Garage Midgets return to Skagit Speedway this weekend after last racing Aug. 23 during All Phase Heating & Air Conditioning Night. Alex Peck picked up his first win of the year after starting second. Peck chased race leader Shane Smith for the opening nine laps until Smith tangled with a slower car, allowing Peck to drive around him on lap 10. Smith fell to fourth and recovered to second; however, he never got back around Peck.
Shane Smith still leads the points battle with 706 points, Ryan Orchard is second with 675 (-31) points, and Nick Evans is in third with 644 (-62) points. If Smith can secure the championship, it would be his second Skagit Speedway championship in the midgets; his first one came in 2022. Alex Peck is the defending champion from 2024; however, he is 93 points back in sixth place.
The Hornets are back one more time after racing just a weekend ago. Vance Hibbard charged from 13th to first to take the lead on lap six and never looked back to score his first Hornet win in six years. Howard Vos grew his points lead over Bryce Kolar in second. Vos now has 797 points, Kolar has 664 (-113) points, and Tazio Andreassen takes over third from Braxton Housman, who now falls to 10th after missing last Saturday, Sept. 13. Andreassen has 626 (-171) points. The championship would be the fourth for Vos, tying him with Freddie Vela for the most championships in the Hornets Division. The last championship for Vos was in 2023.
SATURDAY:
The KarMART 410 Sprint Cars are here for the final time in 2025, and the points battle has been hot coming into the home stretch. Jason Solwold had a five-point lead over Trey Starks going into last Saturday, Sept. 13; however, the points have now swung back in Starks ' favor. The T&C Concepts 55 now has a 13-point advantage over Solwold, who drops back to second. Robbie Price remains in third with a 124-point disadvantage to Starks. Solwold is the defending track champion from 2024 after Starks won back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023. If Trey wins, it will be his third 410 Sprint Car track championship.
Heath collected the win most recently, winning this past Saturday, Sept. 13. The win was the second of the year for him in the 410 division. Heath started second and quickly sprang to the lead and pulled away with the advantage. Starks moved his way from fourth to second and caught Heath in the late stages of the race, trading slide jobs with Heath but to no avail as Heath held him off despite a late race restart to take home the win.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars return after last racing the weekend before the Skagit Nationals. Steven Hendrickson is knocking on the door of Jayden Whitney, who is currently the leader in points. Whitney has 962 total points, and Hendrickson is second, only three points behind with 959 total points. Jesson Jacobson is third with 947 (-15) points. Any one of these three drivers could win the points championship with a good night. A perfect night in points is categorized as QuickTime in qualifying (15 points), winning your Heat Race (10 points), and winning the A-Main (100 points). This points system applies to all divisions except the IMCA Modifieds. There will not be a repeat winner, as Kai Dixon, the 2024 winner, has not competed in a Sportsman Sprint Car this year.
Hendrickson is the winningest driver in the Sportsman Sprint Car division with four; the next closest is Whitney and Jacobson, who both have two. Macie Logsdon has one. Hendrickson is also the most recent winner. This year, the top 12 car owners in the Sportsman Sprint Car Owner's Final Points Standings will have the chance to win one of four complete RaceSaver Engines, each valued at approximately $20,000! These engines will be awarded during the 2025 Skagit Speedway Champions Banquet.
That battle for the 12th and final spot is close, with just 10 or fewer points separating 12th from 15th in points. Dustin Gehring (owner driver) is in 15th place, behind Tony Bundy, who sits in that 12th and final spot. Gehring is 10 points behind Bundy. Wendy Johnson (owner of Allison Johnson's car) is in 14th place and eight points behind. Paul Hopkins (owner of Shawn Wallenfelsz Jr.'s car) is in 13th place and only two points behind Bundy.
This Saturday also serves as the final tune-up for all Skagit Speedway IMCA Modifieds before the Survive the 55 and Jeff Westergard is in search of his second Skagit Speedway championship. Rory Smith is the most recent winner in the division, picking up his first-ever Skagit Speedway win on Saturday, Sept. 13. Smith led all 25 laps, facing little challenge over his top spot.
Westergard leads the points with 266, Adam Holtrop is second with 255 (-11) points, and James Bundy is third with 247 (-19). The Modifieds receive points based on feature finishing position, so Holtrop could still beat Westergard, but Holtrop would have to beat Westergard by at least 12 finishing positions.

SWANSON CONTINUES TO HOLD TOP SPOT IN PAVEMENT SPRINT RANKINGS
September 16, 2025 – Anderson, Indiana – The fourth edition of the 2025 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings was revealed Tuesday afternoon, and Kody Swanson continues to hold the top spot. Swanson has held the top spot for most of the season on the heels of eight total wins in 2025.
Bobby Santos III has quietly moved into second place behind Swanson. Dakoda Armstrong has moved into the top three for the first time since the rankings were announced last season.
Sixteen-year-old Colton Bettis, who led the rankings briefly in the spring, is still lurking in fourth place.
Swanson currently holds a marginal lead over Santos, but it is far from safe. Some of the bigger pavement sprint car races are at the back end of the season including the Pink Lady Classic, a pair of 500 Sprint Car Tour events, a pair of Must See Racing events, and the Open Wheel Showdown. If a driver could get hot, and win any combination of these events, they could tighten the gap on Swanson to close the season out and make things interesting.
2025 NATIONAL PAVEMENT SPRINT CAR RANKINGS #4 (Thru 9/16/25)
1. Kody Swanson - 63
2. Bobby Santos III – 43

Landon Brooks scores victory at Forni-Humphreys Classic in first start back with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…On Saturday night, Landon Brooks delivered an exceptional performance at Placerville Speedway’s Forni-Humphreys Classic, securing the highest paying 360 Sprint Car victory in track history.
It marked his first night piloting the Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise No. 21L Sprint Car and paid a handsome $10,085-to-win.
“I’m thankful for everyone involved with this team and was really excited to have a great night last Saturday,” Brooks commented. “I am happy for Roger and Lori Hamilton and grateful that they believe in my abilities. They have put so much into this and I’m happy to get them a win at this race.”
Brooks kicked things off at the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic by qualifying second in Group A time trials aboard the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount.
A third-place effort in his heat race then placed him into the redraw, where he would pick the lucky number one pill.
At the waving of the green flag Brooks jumped out front and held the field at bay over the first several circuits. Hanging in tough for multiple yellow flag periods the 21-year-old was flawless on every restart, having to contend with veteran Shane Golobic.
A longer green flag run was then seen to complete the 30-lapper and Brooks worked lapped traffic to perfection during it. The Yuba City driver pulled away and accepted the Darin Stahl checkered flag for his second career Forni-Humphreys Classic win.
“Lapped traffic was a bit tricky, and I felt like I kept hitting the curb wrong,” Brooks stated. “I won the Forni-Humphreys Classic a couple years ago with Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst so it’s cool to get another one with them working on the car. I want to give a huge thanks to Roger and Lori Hamilton, Dave Lippert and Lippert Construction and everyone that supports us.”
Next up for Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise is the two-night Dennis Roth Classic at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink doubleheader will hand out a stellar $83,000-to-win during the finale.
“I am excited to get to Tulare for the Roth Classic this weekend,” he said. “A couple years ago with Steven and Kyle I had a lot of speed at the Thunderbowl so hopefully we can put together a pair of good nights with the Outlaws.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate while live coverage will be provided by Dirtvision.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Rebound for 50th Top Five of the Season
Inside Line Promotions – PERRIS, Calif. (Sept. 15, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports rebounded in a big way last weekend.
Misfortune halted a strong run on Friday at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif., where David Gravel was running second in the final laps when a flat tire relegated him to a 17th-place result – his second-worst finish in a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series points race this season.
The team responded on Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway, where Gravel was second quickest in qualifying before he placed second in a heat race, the dash and the main event.
“Bill (Balog) was awesome early on in lapped traffic,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “He was the class of the field. And then there at the end he started getting spinny. It seems like he got a hole in his right rear. When I had the whole bottom to myself, I was definitely gaining on him. Once he kind of moved down my car kind of unhooked. I still had a shot at it though. If I ran the bottom of (turns) three and four on the last lap, I think I had a chance to win.”
Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings is 144 points heading into the Dennis Roth Classic this Friday and Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif.
Gravel won the opening night of the marquee event last year for his third career World of Outlaws victory at the track.

Sept. 12 – Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif. – Qualifying: 7; Heat race: 3 (3); Feature: 17 (7).

Joel Myers Jr Set for Hockett/McMillin Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA: A tough couple of weeks for Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports haven’t deterred the team as they have already began preparing for this weekend’s Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial in Wheatland, MO.
“It has been a tough couple of weeks for us unfortunately,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We broke a motor two weeks ago running fifth at Cedar Lake, then this past weekend we had a steering box go bad on Friday night, and then on Saturday we just struggled. Really looking forward to this weekend and getting to Lucas Oil Speedway.”
Spending this past weekend in Ohio competing with the All Star Circuit of Champions, Myers Jr got the weekend kicked off by timing the Velocity Engineering/IPC/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 19 entry timed in eighth fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Sebastopol, CA driver finished third which put him in the 14th starting position for the feature event on a very slick Fremont Speedway surface.
Getting a good start when the race went green, Myers Jr jumped into 10th before he moved into ninth on the 3rd lap. Continuing to battled inside the Top-10 as he worked around the slick surface, issues arose on his Hayward Motorsports entry on the 30th circuit as his steering box failed and brought his night to an end.
Able to make repairs for Saturday’s event, Myers Jr and team were back at Fremont for the Jim Ford Memorial finale, as he kicked the night off by timing in sixth quickest in time trials.
Picking up another third-place finish in heat race competition, Myers Jr locked into the feature event as he took the green flag from the 12th starting position.
On another extremely slick racing surface, Meyers was just a little off as he never really was able to get going through the middle of the track like much of the field. Getting as high as 11th at the halfway point of the race, Myers slowly slipped back and capped his weekend off with a 15th place finish.
“It’s a tricky place and when it gets that slick it gets even more technical and we just missed it for the feature,” Myers Jr said. “Thanks to everyone who continues to support our team.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Dover Rallies From Ninth to Capture MSTS Event at Clay County Fair Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SPENCER, Iowa (Sept. 15, 2025) – Jack Dover earned his first career win at Clay County Fair Speedway last Friday in impressive fashion.
Dover guided the Tim Estenson Motorsports No. 53 from ninth to the Winner’s Circle during a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event.
“It felt really good,” he said. “Considering this was really the third week with our brand new car, to be as good as we were was a really good feeling.”
Dover moved from sixth to fifth place in a heat race to narrowly miss making the feature redraw. That lined him up on the inside of the fifth row in the main event. He advanced into the top five on Lap 3. By Lap 11, Dover was running third and he took over the runner-up position on Lap 13. Five laps later, Dover drove into the top spot en route to his second triumph of the season.
“I expected not to be in the redraw because we started sixth and the track wasn’t wide in the heat race,” he said. “We started the feature ninth and everybody kept ripping the top at the beginning. There was a lot of moisture on the bottom so I putted around the bottom probably the first 10 laps. Finally the bottom went away where I had to move to the top. I made a few slide jobs. The track was really good.”
The performance also earned the Hard Charger Award for gaining the most positions and it added to his lead in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings heading into the final doubleheader of the season.
Jackson Motorplex in Jackson., Minn., hosts the Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids this Friday and Saturday. The MSTS 410 Sprint Cars as well as the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series and the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association will be in action both nights.

Andy Forsberg 10th at Placerville Speedway’s Season Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team were back at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the Mark Forni/CJ Humphreys Memorial which capped the regular season at the track, and Forsberg finished 10th in the feature event.
“We have just had a tough road the last few weeks,” Andy Forsberg said. “The team has been working extremely hard, but things just haven’t gone our way. I know we will keep at it and hopefully turn this around as the season winds down.”
A robust 35 cars packed into the Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the weekly series’ finale, and Forsberg got the night kicked off by timing the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in fifth fastest in his qualifying flight, which put him on the front row of his heat race.
Lining up on the outside of the first heat, Forsberg got the jump and took the early lead which was pivotal as he still had a shot at the track championship. Keeping the top spot, Forsberg grabbed the win and garnered a spot in the redraw where the six lined him up in the third row of the feature event.
When the race came to life, Forsberg spent the early laps battling for top five position as he was in a tight knit battle for fifth and sixth. Continuing to work around the ¼ mile bullring, Forsberg worked into fifth on the ninth lap before he slipped back to eight on lap 10.
As the laps clicked off, the Auburn, CA driver continued to search around the speedway to find a line to get moving back forward but just wasn’t able to make anything happen as he continued to battle in the Top-10. Getting back into sixth briefly on the 19th circuit, close quarters racing action saw him slip back to 10th on the 22nd lap.
Unable to gain any lost track position in the final eighth laps, Forsberg brought his night to an end with a 10th place finish.
“We were just a little off in the feature and couldn’t get going,” Forsberg said. “This week we get back to SCCT action as we head to Petaluma Speedway, and we will continue to work at getting this turned around.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Tanner Carrick 7th at Placerville Speedway’s Regular
Season Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA: Checking in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the $10,085-to-win Forni/Humphreys Classic, Tanner Carrick and his team picked up a seventh-place finish in what was the final sprint car race of the year at the speedway.
“We had a decent night, we just really couldn’t get going in the feature,” Tanner Carrick said. “We put ourselves in the redraw and we just maintained for 30-laps.”
A total of 35 cars checked into Placerville Speedway for the highest paying 360ci race ever held at the track, and Carrick got the night started by timing his CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in fourth fastest in his qualifying flight.
With a strong effort, Carrick earned the pole for his heat race, which was vital as a win would qualify him for the redraw. When the green flag was displayed to the Lincoln, CA runner, Carrick smashed the throttle and darted out to the lead.
Racing his way to the win, Carrick was safely in the feature event and also earned that coveted redraw berth where the seven placed him in the fourth row for the 30-lap finale.
When the race went green, Carrick got off to a solid start as he quickly moved into sixth and then moved into fifth on the eighth lap. Going back and forth between fifth and sixth for 15 laps, Carrick finally settled into sixth on the 20th lap.
Continuing to look for a way back into the Top-Five as the race neared the finish, a misstep on the 28th lap saw Carrick slip back to seventh where he went on to take the checkered flag.
“We just needed to be a little better for the feature, but happy to be in the Top-10,” Carrick said. “It has been a really busy few weeks, so I definitely want to thank my guys for continuing to work hard.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

Tony Gomes Claims Placerville Speedway Championship with
C&M Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- A tight points battle came to a head on Saturday night during Placerville Speedway’s season finale, and when the dust settled it was Tony Gomes and C&M Motorsports hoisting their first championship trophy at the historic track located in El Dorado County.
“Saturday night was a dream come true, and it is great to have so many years of hard work pay off,” Tony Gomes said. “We went into the night with a slim lead and knew what we needed to do, and we came out swinging and had a great night.”
With 35 cars on hand for the track’s season finale event which was also the famed Forni/Humphreys Classic, Gomes got the night underway by timing the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c in second fastest in time trials.
Simply needing to transfer through his heat to earn a spot in the redraw, the Modesto, CA pilot played it safe as he went from fourth to third to punch his ticket into both the feature event as well as the all-important redraw.
Pulling the three, Gomes lined the MatriScope/Alturas Tires/Swartz Diesel backed entry up in the second row of the feature event knowing his championship competitors needed to get in front of him by quite a few spots to upend him.
When the race went green, Gomes hard on the throttle as he settled into third and chased after the lead duo of Landon Brooks and Shane Golobic. Playing it safe as any misstep could cost himself and the team a title, Gomes was still extremely competitive as he battled in the lead pack.
Continuing to run in third, in the last few laps he slipped back to fifth as he opted to not force any issues as his first ever sprint car championship was in his grasp. Still, having a great night, Gomes took the checkered flag in the fifth spot, and then the celebration with his C&M Motorsports team was on with many friends and marketing partners in attendance.
“It just means a lot to finally get Cody and Mandi a track championship at Placerville Speedway after all the years they have supported me, and how close we have came in years past,” Gomes added. “To finally do it is a great feeling, and truly we couldn’t have done it without the great people and partners that have supported and helped over the years. Aside from Cody and Mandi, I also want to thank Bobby Bumgarner, John Svensson, Cody Cook, and Brad Kennedy for their hard work. Having a great group behind you with a positive attitude goes along way, and they all helped ensure we had a smooth night. It is great to be able to say that we are Placerville Speedway Champions.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: With Placerville Speedway’s 2025 season wrapped up, C&M Motorsports is TBD on their remaining schedule.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-21, Wins-3, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-14

Kaleb Johnson Scores First Career MOWA Win During Debut at Spoon River Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – CANTON, Ill. (Sept. 15, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson returned to Victory Lane last Saturday during his first-ever race at Spoon River Speedway.
The triumph for the Team DGRD competitor tied the bow on a weekend that showcased a fast race car during a Midwest Open Wheel Association doubleheader.
“I felt we could have won on Friday, but it didn’t work out,” he said. “On Saturday, we were fast all night and able to finally get rid of some bad luck. Just to turn the last five or six weeks around felt good. It gave everybody the little confidence boost we need.”
Johnson was nearly victorious on Friday at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., where he advanced from fourth to win a heat race. He redrew the No. 6 to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event.
“From the time I first got on the track until the night was over we got better and I got better,” he said. “As I got more laps I got more comfortable. We had a shot to win. I felt I was patient the laps before that. I got a good run off turn two. I tried to throw a slider in turns and four and got hit in the rear of the car and we crashed.”
Johnson had maneuvered into the runner-up position by Lap 18. Three laps later, he made a bid for the lead in turns three and four that ended with contact, which resulted in a DNF. Johnson was credited with a 13th-place result.
“As I started driving the car harder I was able to launch it off the cushion and into the rubber,” he said. “I could carry so much more speed down the straightaway. I was pleased even though the end result wasn’t great.”
The team continued its speed on Saturday at Spoon River Speedway, where Johnson won a heat race to advance into the feature redraw. He pulled the No. 6 for the second straight night.
“I had a blast,” he said. “I thought the place was awesome. There was a huge rut going into turn three. It made it interesting. In the feature we got to traffic really quick and I used that to my advantage. I slid a couple of guys in turns one and two and a couple of others slid off the track. We got the lead with a few laps to go. One lap late in the race I drove it pretty hard into turn three and hit that rut hard. I really had to get out of it and slow the car down to avoid getting into the wall, but luckily we avoided disaster and held on to win.”
It marked his first career MOWA victory and his fourth total triumph this year.
Johnson plans to race this Friday and Saturday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., during the Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids.

Starks Reclaims Skagit Speedway Points Lead Following Runner-Up Result
Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (Sept. 15, 2025) – Trey Starks recorded his 16th podium result of the season last Saturday at Skagit Speedway, where he regained the points lead in the 410ci winged sprint car division.
Starks qualified second quickest before he advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race and from fourth to second place in the A Main.
“We started off good and were able to capitalize on each situation we had,” he said. “We moved forward and were really close at the end. I think we just needed a couple of things to go our way and we would have had a shot. I felt good with our speed and fairly happy with the end result. Obviously you want to win every time, but all in all, it was a solid night.”
Championship Weekend arrives this weekend when the track hosts the final points race for the 360ci winged sprint cars on Friday and the 410ci winged sprint cars on Saturday.
Starks has driven to a division-best four 360 sprint car victories at Skagit Speedway this season to build a 76-point lead in the championship standings. He has earned a division-best three 410 triumphs and leads the standings by 13 points heading into the finale.
“I feel really good,” he said. “I feel like the track conditions were back where they fit our program, where the track is really wide and losing some grip in the feature. I feel like that’s where we excel. It’ll be nice to get two nights of racing in to kind of close out the season here in the Northwest. If we do everything right, I think we can have two good showings and compete for the win each night.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 13 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 3 (4); Feature: 2 (4).

31 races, 8 wins, 19 top fives, 23 top 10s, 26 top 15s, 28 top 20s

He followed with a 17th-place outing on Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway.
“The weekend overall was a bit back and forth as we weren’t able to make the progress we wanted on Saturday,” he said. “However, taking some momentum from Friday and heading to one of my favorite tracks this weekend, I’m optimistic.”
Scelzi will join the World of Outlaws this Friday and Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., during the Dennis Roth Classic.
“The Dennis Roth Classic is a big event on the West Coast that honors someone who has been very helpful throughout my racing career,” he said. “We have a lot of laps and have enjoyed a lot of success over the years in Tulare so hopefully we can have two strong nights this weekend.”

Gobrecht weekend ahead

(September 15, 2025) – It was a three-race stretch through Posse Country for Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports, eventually concluding competition with two top-fives in three starts, all of which activating with a podium run at the famed Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, September 12. The recently crowned Port Royal Speedway champion, a first-ever feat, finished second in his podium outcome, commencing his Billy Kimmel Memorial campaign from the point – directly beside eventual winner Brock Zearfoss. The New Jersey ace launched his effort with a heat race victory.
Whittall’s second of two top-fives occurred two nights later at Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, concluding the Jim Nace Memorial National Open with a fourth-place score. The finish bumped Whittall’s top-five count to 16 on the season, simultaneously increasing his top-ten count to 28.
Although missing the top-ten, Whittall’s effort in Saturday’s Weldon Sterner Memorial at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, was productive in its own right, turning a not-so-routine visit to the Pigeon Hills into a 13th-place score.
“Another great weekend for our RBH Group | JW Motorsports team. The pressure is off now that we accomplished our championship goals at Port Royal, so I think it’s easier now just to go out and ‘race,’” Whittall said. “The plan is to continue our season at Williams Grove and BAPS this weekend. We’ll do our best to honor one of the sport’s greats.”

Andrews, a one-time Ohio winner in 2025 as well as a former Attica Raceway Park track champion, finished eighth in each of his Jim Ford Classic outings, utilizing the aforementioned heat race triumphs to set his evenings’ tones.
With all results considered, the Sandusky native now stands at 13 top-tens on the season which includes his March victory at Attica Raceway Park.
Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio, will cap all 410 sprint competition this Saturday, September 20.
“Happy for this entire Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer team. It was a fun weekend at Fremont, and to come out of there with back-to-back All Star top-tens is pretty special. Of course, we wanted more, but we had fun and that is all we can ask for,” Andrews was quick to note. “We kinda kicked the year off with a win, so we’ll work to close out the year with a win, as well. We have a few more starts planned after this weekend’s trip to Fremont, but to do it at Fremont would be pretty special.”

Early September Start For Wingless Season
By Phil Michell Motorsport Media
After what has seemed to be one of the shortest off seasons
in recent years the new South Australian Wingless Sprint season will begin
this Saturday night (September 20) at the Murray Machining and Sheds Murray
Bridge Speedway. The opening show of the year has attracted a field of 34
drivers, with the list of nominations suggesting that the battle for the
first South Australian main event victory will be wide open.
Although the season is just kicking off there are several
drivers who have already seen on track action recently including Tailem
Bend’s Sam Martin, Kaitlin Vickers and Sharni Pitcher, therefore they may
have an advantage over the rest of the field knowing that there hasn’t been
any local early season practice sessions.
Martin will return to four wheels this weekend after a trip
to Darwin’s Northline Speedway a few weeks ago, where he finished on the
podium in the 2025 Northern Territory 500cc Solo Championship, while Vickers
was in action last weekend supporting the “Micro’s on the Murray” event at
The Bend. Sharni Pitcher is another competitor who has been extremely busy
lately having competed in Darwin during the Chariots of Thunder.
Joining them at Murray Bridge on Saturday night will be the
likes of pre-race favourite Rylan Furler, local’s Mason Merritt and Robert
Heard, Bordertown’s James Rodda, Kadina’s Tate Cowie, Darryl Knuckey, Lockie
and Caleb Evans, Thomas Walkom, Michael Busby, Darryl Sloan, Ross Miller,
and Michael Spoljaric.
One driver who will unfortunately be missing this season is
regular front runner Anthony Tapley, who has stepped aside from driving the
Andrew and Lyn May owned #47 after winning the 2024/25 SA State Series, and
finishing third overall in the State Points. Taking his place will be dual
Australian Champion Joel Chadwick and this new combination will be a strong
one. Rookie Nick May will share the driving duties with Joel throughout the
season.
After more than a decade away from Wingless Sprint racing
Brad Kirtland is among a number of new competitors for the 2025/26 season
with the list including Mount Gambier’s Ryan Broome, Brother of leading
competitor Mitch, former circuit racer Hayden Jericho, Ryan Watts, Hayden
and Joshua Mason and Byron Wright.
Hamilton based racer Aaron Kennett will make the trek from
Victoria along with Mildura residents Jordon Bolitho and Diesel Fallon. Last
season Fallon was the recipient of the Club’s “Encouragement Award,” and the
youngster will want to build on what was an impressive season having stepped
up from Junior Sedans.
The format for the night will feature two rounds of heat
races, a B-main, and a 20-car A-Main over 25 laps.
Event Details - Opening Night – Murray Bridge Speedway,
Saturday 20th September 2025:
Current Nominations (34 Cars) - S8 Darryl Sloan, S14 Joshua Rusby, S15 Ryan

RETRO REVAMP OF SORTS COMING FOR MIDGETS AT THE RUMBLE
Burco Molding to Sponsor ‘Race to 100’
FORT WAYNE, IN (Sept. 10) – In a return, of sorts, to its beginnings, the Midget program of this year’s 27th running of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales will see some format changes for the December 19 and 20 weekend with what will become ‘The Burco Molding Race to 100’.
Recently, veteran car owner Randy Burrow approached Rumble’s Larry Boos with a simple comment, “I think we need a change, it’s time to stir the pot to keep the product fresh.” With an open-mind Boos agreed to listen to Burrow who summed up his final thoughts with four words, “bring back the 100”.
With that – a little history.
For years, dating back to January 6, 1956, when the United States Auto Club was introduced to the world via the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, the headlining Midget main event was contested at 100 laps. Even though the event was transferred over to the newer and attached Expo Center in 1998, the distance remained the same.
However, over recent years, for air quality concerns, the distance was reduced to 50 laps.
With those concerns in mind, Burrow, and fellow racers Mike Fedorcak and Joe Liguori collaborated with Boos on how to approach the return to 100 laps of feature racing.
The trio embraced the concept but universally conceded that it would require ingenuity to address the inherent need to refresh the air. Fedorcak summed it up. “I love the challenge of 100 laps of Midget racing at the Rumble, but we know we can’t go 100 laps straight without acknowledging that we will have to stop and clear the air, so let’s just plan on two ‘environmentally friendly’ gaps.”
Burrow and Liguori agreed with Burrow then reminding the group “100 laps is still 100 laps regardless of how we get there – so we are racing to 100 laps to determine the winner.” Liguori directed his comments to Boos with “we have to face reality and do what is best for the fans, and that is to give them a competitive race while remaining comfortable, and we, as racers, can do that, now you, as the promoter, need to come up with fan engagement during those breaks.” Boos agreed and his dedicated Rumble team is in the planning process, accordingly.
With the Burco Molding Race to 100 comes a complete revamp of the weekend for the Midgets. Instead of two nights of individual racing programs, it will be truly a race to the 100. Friday (December 19) will see the field split into even/odd groups after qualifying, with each group competing in their own heats and 25-lap main events. The top two finishers from each of those mains will automatically transfer to the Burco Molding Race to 100. Points will be earned throughout Friday night, with those points used to line up Saturday’s (December 20) heat races.
“The progression towards getting into Saturday’s Race to 100 will keep the fans engaged. And like I said earlier, it is time to stir up the pot a little and try something old and put it into today’s reality. I will be entering three cars again this year, and I have as much to gain or lose from this change as anyone, but I am raring to go,” summed up Burrow.
Over the course of the next several weeks, more details about the enhanced format and other Rumble information will be announced via social media and on the event’s website www.rumbleinfortwayne.com.
Joining the Midgets for the 27th running of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales over the December 19 and 20 weekend on the 1/7-mile purpose-built concrete oval inside the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center will be winged and non-winged 600cc Midgets along with multiple classes of Go-Karts and Quarter
Hartmann looks to shake off Cedar Lake setbacks with MOWA jaunt
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 10, 2025 – In a season plagued by mechanical woes and on-track incidents, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team saw the 2025 campaign continue on a similar note at the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at Cedar Lake, Wis. on New Richmond, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept. 6.
Hartmann began the opening night of the two-day program on Friday, Sept. 5, by qualifying 23rd in the stellar 46-car field. From there, Hartmann started eighth and failed to finish in the second heat race. The 25-year-old Plymouth resident started 12th in the first B main and again retired before the end of the race with mechanical woes.
Rain before the start of the racing program on Saturday, Sept. 6, prompted the format for the evening to change from qualifying and dash draw to heat race draw and passing points.
With 36 cars on hand, Hartmann drew the sixth starting spot and moved up to fifth in heat four. In challenging heavy, wet, and rough track conditions, the Plymouth, Wis. resident finished third in the B main to qualify for the 30-lap main event. Hartmann was scheduled to start 21st, but he elected not to enter the feature race.
“It’s been a tough one, there’s no sugar coating it,” Hartmann said. “We’ve gotten pretty beat down to say the least. We found our issue at Cedar Lake to be the stumble valve. With how the track was and starting at the back, I didn’t see it worth risking another car to run Saturday’s feature. We’ll try it again this weekend with the MOWA series.”
The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is slated to head south of the border to compete in a doubleheader weekend with the Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) 410 Sprint Car Series, starting with the Carolyn Schuh Memorial on Friday, Sept. 12, at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill.
The Badger Midgets, Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman, and Street Stocks are also on the card. Hot laps start at 6:30 p.m. with racing at 7 p.m.
The Jacksonville Speedway event will be live-streamed on DirtVision.
On Saturday, Sept. 13, Hartmann and the team will travel with MOWA to Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill., to compete in the Tom Knowles Memorial.
MARA Midgets, DIRTcar Pro Late Models, and B Modifieds will also be in action.
Hot laps are scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m.

Arenz aims to regroup with IRA doubleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 10, 2025 – What was shaping up to be a promising weekend at one of the most prestigious events on the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series schedule, ended in early disappointment for Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team during night one of the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 5.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. racer opened the night by qualifying 41st in the stellar 46-car field. He advanced to sixth from the 10th starting spot in the fourth 8-lap IRA heat race.
After starting fourth in B main 2, Arenz moved up to third to gain a starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started 22nd and was running 18th when he hit the turn two wall and flipped on lap 18, which knocked him out of the race. He was scored 22nd.
Extensive damage to the car forced Arenz to withdraw from Saturday night’s racing program.
“There isn’t really anything to say about Cedar Lake,” Arenz said. “We’ll be back this weekend at Wilmot and 141.”
The team is now slated to compete in a doubleheader IRA weekend starting Friday, Sept. 12, at Wilmot Raceway, Wis., as part of the Wilmot Fall Festival, which will also feature the Winged Crate Sprints, Street Stocks, A Modified, and Bandits.
Hot laps are scheduled to start at 5:45 p.m. with racing at 6:45 p.m.
On Sunday, Sept. 13, the team is scheduled to enter an IRA event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. Legends and IMCA Sport Mods are also on the card.
Racing is set to begin at 6 p.m.

GULF COAST TO CLOSE OUT 2025 MUST SEE RACING SEASON
September 10, 2025 - Holly. Michigan - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts. Com is preparing for the biggest weekend of its sixteen-year existence when the 410-winged asphalt sprint car series visits the Gulf Coast Region of the country October 2-4, 2025.
The series will kick off the ‘Southern Shootout’ Friday night October 3, 2025, when it visits Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida for the first time in eleven seasons. The following evening October 4 the series will head north to Montgomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama for the first time since 2021.
Teams will be battling it out for a $10,000 winners share from a total purse of $31,000 each night. These events will pay $700 to start the twenty-four-car starting field each night. This will be the richest weekend in the history of the series that inaugurated in 2010. A total weekend purse of over $62,000 will be up for grabs.
In addition to Must See Racing regulars, the event is expected to draw teams from the Florida based Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series and the new Alabama/Mississippi Sprint Car group.
The Gulf Coast area isn’t new to Must See Racing. From 2012 -2014 the series annually visited he area with stops at Five Flags and Mobile, Alabama. It returned to the area with a weekend visit to Montgomery in 2021.
Aaron Pierce was victorious the last time the series visited Five Flags Speedway on April 11, 2014. Troy DeCaire and Joe Liguori found victory lane the last time the series competed at Montgomery Motor Speedway in October of 2021.
It is only fitting that the 2025 MSR season will conclude at two of the most historic venues in the southern part of the country. It will also be a rare opportunity to watch winged pavement sprint cars compete on half-mile venues, which has been a rare occurrence lately.
Five Flags Speedway opened in 1953 and is the home of the annual Snowball Derby Super Late Model race. Montgomery Motor Speedway opened in 1955 and hosted numerous NASCAR Grand National events in the early years of its history.
Joe Liguori looks to close out the 2025 MSR season with another MSR championship. He currently holds a commanding 64-point lead over Ryan Litt. Kevin Mingus sits in third place currently 41 points behind Litt.
Entries for these events are just now beginning to be received. MSR will reveal the entries as they are received beginning in the next few days.

PADDOCK CROWNED JOE’S GARAGE SOUTHERN TIER SERIES CHAMPION
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – September 10, 2025
As the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints were not able to make up both races at Penn Can Speedway (June 6 and July 11) due to weather, Dillon Paddock has been named Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion.
It is the first miniseries championship for "The Show Stopper," as he posted a pair of thirds at Thunder Mountain this miniseason, the only track that was able to hold races without weather impacting.
“Thunder Mountain was definitely a turnaround for us this year,” said Paddock. “Consistency is the name of the game this year for us. Not usually something of my nature, but just happened to work out that way this year.”
Overall, Paddock has racked up 12 podiums in 15 features, including the two at Thunder Mountain.
The pair of podiums for Paddock in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series was good enough to beat Billy VanInwegen by four points, Johnny Smith by seven points, Jordan Hutton by 11 points and Zach Sobotka by 15.
“Winning anything nowadays is tough, so just to win a miniseries is cool, all in all and hopefully we can win a couple more races before the year’s out,” Paddock said.
Paddock had only run one career race at Thunder Mountain and Penn Can each going in, finishing seventh and 14th, respectively.
Joe’s Garage is the official sponsor of the Southern Tier Series. Known as a one-stop shop for automotive maintenance, Joe’s also provides 23.5-hour towing and roadside assistance to keep drivers on the move whenever issues arise. Conveniently located at the corner of Robinson and Bradywine in Binghamton, Joe’s is committed to serving the community both on and off the road. For assistance, customers can call their 24/7 hotline at (607) 723-3520.
Joe’s Garage activated their sponsorship further by bringing a flatbed of their own to Thunder Mountain in July and also towed Scott Landers’ No. 33 car to the Syracuse Motorsports Expo last Spring.
2025 has been a career year for Paddock, as he has piloted his No. 8 to four wins so far in 2025, including the series’ most recent stop at Ransomville, sweeping the two stops at “The Big R.” Paddock has also scored wins at Albany-Saratoga and Woodhull, a track CRSA heads to this weekend for the New York 305 Nationals.
In the overall standings, Paddocks trails 29 points to Zach Sobotka for the overall title with one whole points-paying race left to go in a few weeks at Weedsport.
“He’s tough to beat, but we’re right there,” said Paddock. “We can’t hang our heads. Can’t thank my entire team, all my sponsors, crew and family. There’s a lot that goes into this.”
The CRSA Sprints are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025 and are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers. Associate sponsors include Pit Stop Convenience Stores, DisBatch Brewing Company, Dandy, Joe's Garage, Westward Painting Company, Elab Smokers Boutique, iFreeze Storage & Distribution Center, Maguire Automotive Group, Powdertech Powdercoating, Ruggles World of Auto Body, PJC Business Ventures, Profab Enterprises, Magsarus Ignitions, Highside Racewear, Hoosier Racing Tire, Insinger Performance with their Stinger Race Fuel, My Race Pass and is owned and operated by Mike Emhof Motorsports.

Heated point battle concludes in grand fashion at Forni-Humphreys Classic Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The biggest event of the Berco Redwood championship campaign invades Placerville Speedway this Saturday September 13th, with the $8,500 to win “Forni-Humphreys Classic” set to finish off the point season in style.
The 20th running of the event is shaping up to be one of the best, with just 10 points separating the top three drivers in the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car standings. Modesto’s Tony Gomes goes into the finale with a scant three-point lead over Sacramento’s Austin Wood.
Lurking back in third and just 10 markers behind Gomes is veteran Andy Forsberg, who always seems to find a way to come out on top in championship battles.
All three drivers have been fantastic this season at Placerville Speedway and Saturday should be a night to remember. Suisun City’s Chance Grasty (24-points behind Gomes) and Placerville’s Shane Hopkins complete the top five heading into the championship finale.
Oakley’s Nick Baldwin has become one of the best to ever sit behind the wheel of a race car at Placerville Speedway. He will be attempting to lock up his sixth consecutive Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock title this weekend and number seven overall.
Yuba City’s Rod Oliver and Nevada driver Howard Miller both are searching for their initial Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model and Mountain Democrat Mini Truck title respectively. Oliver and Miller look to finish it off at the Forni-Humphreys Classic on Saturday.
About the event:
The Forni family has a great history in El Dorado County, with deep ties to the El Dorado County Fairgrounds and much of the land on which it sits. Much like his forefathers, Mark Forni had a great passion for the county fair and its attributes, especially the racetrack.
From the time he was a young child and the days when Placerville Speedway was known as Hangtown Speedway, Mark was actively involved with the weekly auto races, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need involved with the sport he loved.
Later in life, Mark continued his contributions to local auto racing, sponsoring many race teams with his business, Forni’s Trucking. He later became a member of the El Dorado County Fair Board and focused on the issues regarding the future of the fair and the speedway.
Mark Forni believed in working relationships. He understood the importance of race promoters, sponsorships, and the one key element for every event to be successful, the spectator.
In November of 2004, Mark was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. During his final months, Mark had the opportunity to say goodbye to friends and family and spend some special moments with his wife and children, a bittersweet time for those who knew and loved him so much. In the summer of 2005, Mark passed away at the early age of 45.
Saturday is also our way of remembering our fellow friend C.J. Humphreys, who we lost in February of 2023.
Affectionately known as the “Happy Camper” C.J. ranks number six in all-time Winged 360 Sprint Car wins on the red clay, having earned 25 victories in his career. He also holds the honor of being the original North vs South Civil War Series champion during the 1991 season.
Chris and his No. 85 Sprint Car were as synonymous as any in the Placerville Speedway pit area over the years. His competitive spirit and all-around good-natured attitude have been sorely missed around the track.

FRED RANNARD, SR OPEN WHEEL CLASSIC
Dear Friends,
On behalf of my entire family thank you for your support of the ninth annual
Fred Rannard, Sr. Open Wheel Classic last weekend at Agassiz Speedway in
Agassiz, British Columbia.
The event was another big success despite smoke from nearby forest fires,
high humidity all weekend, the closure of many highways in BC and a slight
chance of rain on race day. A special thanks goes out to all of the drivers,
crews and fans from all over BC and Washington that braved the elements,
took detours, travelled on BC Ferries or crossed the border to get here. You
are indeed a dedicated group.
Agassiz's Troy Globe is the winningest driver in Fred Rannard, Sr. Open
Wheel Classic history (five championships) and he won the sprint car feature
for the second time to go along with his three midget titles. Victoria's
Darian Zeinstra became the first repeat winner of the dwarf car portion of
the event as he held off his younger brother Zack who won the race last
year. Bradie Rogers from Chilliwack completed the natural hat trick as he
was victorious in the midget main event for the third straight year.
The evening began with the popular meet and greet autograph session on the
track before it was time for the opening ceremonies. Drivers from as far
away as Ucluelet, BC and Colville, Washington introduced themselves to the
big crowd before Murray Jones did his usual fine job singing the national
anthems.
As always we thank the staff at Agassiz Speedway, the drivers, crews and
officials from the Can Am Sprint Car series, the Vancouver Island Dwarf Car
Club, the South Sound Bandits, our generous sponsors and great fans.
Thanks again to everyone and we are already planning big things for the
tenth annual Fred Rannard, Sr. Open Wheel Classic in 2026.
Sincerely,

Dover Earns Hard Charger Award After Driving From 24th to 10th at Cedar Lake Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (Sept. 9, 2025) – Jack Dover officially passed 14 cars during the opening-night feature of the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial last Friday at Cedar Lake Speedway.
That earned the Hard Charger Award for gaining the most positions during the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series event.
“We got rolling in the feature and made a lot of progress,” he said. “It was a great way to end the night after a bit of a struggle early.”
Dover timed in 10th quickest in his group before a seventh-place finish in a heat race relegated him to a B Main. The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver advanced from fifth to fourth place in the B Main to garner the final transfer position into the main event.
Dover then charged from 24th to 10th in the feature, marking his 20th top-10 outing of the season.
“About halfway through the feature was when we really took off,” he said. “We were sliding guys and able to maneuver well. That was a fun race.”
With a wet forecast on Saturday, Dover and the team headed home to prepare for a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars show this Friday at Clay County Fair Speedway in Spencer, Iowa. Dover enters the event leading the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings by 44 points with only three Series races remaining this season.
“I’m looking forward to going back to Clay County Fair Speedway for the first time in about two years,” he said. “Hopefully we can put ourselves in position early in the night to be a contender in the main event.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 5 – Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. – Qualifying: 10; Heat race: 7 (5); B Main: 4 (5); Feature: 10 (24).
SEASON STATS –
40 races, 1 win, 13 top fives, 20 top 10s, 24 top 15s, 28 top 20s

Starks Aiming to Regain Skagit Speedway Points Lead This Saturday
Inside Line Promotions – PORT ROYAL, Pa. (Sept. 9, 2025) – Trey Starks returns to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for the second-to-final 410ci winged sprint car race of the season at the track.
Starks currently ranks second in the championship standings at the high-banked oval in Alger, Wash., but is only five points out of the top spot.
“We’ve won some big ones this year, but it feels our win count is down,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong, if I only had two wins this year and they were Dirt Cup and 360 Nationals I’d be happy. But I also want to win every time I race. We have a couple more good opportunities and I think we’re capable. It’d be nice to add a couple more wins and end the season on a high note.”
Starks leads the division with three victories. He ranks second in both top fives – six – and top 10s – eight. A rough outing during the recent Skagit Nationals dropped him out of the points lead for the first time this season.
“We had poor finishes a couple of the nights and in a points battle you can’t have many bad weekends, but I think we’re in a position to be in the hunt,” he said. “We just need to do what we know how to do and close out the year strong.”
Starks ventured to Port Royal Speedway last weekend for the Tuscarora 50 – a Kubota High Limit Racing event in which he drove for Jason Meyers Racing.
Starks earned an eighth-place result last Thursday during the opening night before placing 24th on Friday and 15th in the B Main on Saturday.
“I was really happy with our speed out of the gate on Thursday,” he said. “It seemed as the track lost some grip we definitely struggled. We worked all weekend to find what we could do to make the car better for me and get it moving forward. We needed more time when the track got slower, but I think both parties learned a ton.
“Big picture, I was very happy to be able to do it and despite some of our results I had a very nice time out there. Between getting back to Pennsylvania and seeing a lot of friends I’d made running there, running at one of my favorite tracks and working with the guys at Jason Meyers racing, it made it really nice to be out there. I feel like I was able to offer some of my input from both racing at Port Royal earlier in my career and having a lot of experience now as a driver. I had a great time and would definitely do it again.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 4 – Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 4 (4); Dash: 6 (7); Feature: 8 (6).
Sept. 5 – Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa. – Qualifying: 8; Heat race: 8 (3); B Main: 11 (12); Feature: 24 (25).
Sept. 6 – Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa. – Qualifying: 21; Heat race: 6 (7); B Main: 15 (18).

“It’s great to have Aaron [Reutzel] back. We weren’t really sure what to expect, but we were confident and we knew he’d do everything he could to be up front, even with his foot not 100% and still needing a crutch. He certainly proved he can do anything,” Brian Ridge said. “Hats off to this entire team. These guys bust their butts and they continue to amaze me.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (September 8, 2025) – Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing did everything they could to claim a first-ever Tuscarora 50 title, but the Gettysburg native fell just short, closing out the High Limit Racing tripleheader with a seventh-place score in the $58,000-to-win finale on Saturday, September 6. Dietrich, who rolled into Port Royal Speedway with 11 wins to his credit in 2025, commenced the Tuscarora 50 finale with a heat race victory, eventually lining up sixth for the 50-lapper.

He was a heat race winner on Thursday, as well.
“A solid week all around, but we wanted a little bit more,” Dietrich said. “Can’t say enough about Gary Kauffman and this entire ‘48’ team. That race continues to elude us, but we’ll get it done eventually. We have another busy weekend ahead, so we’ll work for some redemption starting Friday.”

THOMPSON READY FOR CHARIOTS CHALLENGE:
The biggest challenge of Jet Thompson's short 410 Sprintcar career awaits him when he contests the upcoming 2025 Chariots of Thunder at Darwin's Northline Speedway.
The 19-year-old and his family-based team heads up to Northline Speedway later this week from their Alice Springs base to tackle the Chariots of Thunder event.
Heading into the Chariots of Thunder, Jet has run a handful of Sprintcar race meetings around his home track - Arunga Park Speedway - and earlier this season ventured up to Northline Speedway to run one of their club race meetings.
"I'm very excited about being able to compete against some of the country's top Sprintcar racers and try and learn as much as I can," enthused the third generation Sprintcar racer.
"I haven't set any big goals for my first Chariots of Thunder attempt other than being able to get the most out of the opportunity of being able to run three nights of Sprintcar racing in a row up against some quality opposition."
This year's edition of the Chariots of Thunder at Northline Speedway starts this Thursday night, followed by Friday and Saturday night's action.

Madsen pilots TSR to podium in New Mexico; California stretch begins Friday in Bakersfield
2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Team Standings: 6th | 6778 [-620]
Date: Friday, September 5th Series: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Event: World of Outlaws Desert Showdown Track: Vado Speedway Park (Vado, New Mexico) Kerry Madsen A-Main Finish: 3rd (3rd) *Saturday’s event at Vado was canceled.
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (September 8, 2025) - “The Madman” Kerry Madsen put on a show Friday night at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico, not only concluding competition with a third-place outcome, but leading laps in the process. The eventual podium was Madsen’s first of the season with Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, helping boost the team’s overall top-five count to nine, as well as 30 top-tens.
As hinted, Madsen led ten laps in his effort in New Mexico. David Gravel, the eventual winner, would slip by Madsen following a misjudged lapped car.
“I saw David or heard him a couple of times and thought, ‘I’ve got to go,’” Madsen said at Vado. “I actually had a great run on the lapped car, and that one lap he decided to go middle-top, and I thought, ‘Oh my god. Being half a car back I could’ve zipped under him.’ David was knocking on the door, so you’ve got to go win the race. Honestly, I’m disappointed not to but still pretty excited to have a great run.”
Madsen, aboard Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, No. 15S sprint car, kicked-off preliminary competition with the fifth-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish second in his respective heat race. A win at Vado would have snapped Madsen’s World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win drought; his last triumph was in 2021.
The Desert Showdown at Vado was scheduled to be two days, but Mother Nature had other plans and ruined Saturday’s event.
ON DECK: Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will continue their 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a stretch through California beginning Friday and Saturday, September 12-13, at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway and Perris Auto Speedway.

NEW YORK 305 NATIONALS SET TO PUSH OFF THIS WEEKEND AT
WOODHULL
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – September 8, 2025
The biggest event in the history of the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints is around the corner.
"The Future Stars of Sprint Cars" are set for the return of the two-night New York 305 Nationals presented by Dandy at Woodhull Raceway, Friday and Saturday night.
It is the first New York Nationals for CRSA since 2019 at Land of Legends Raceway. It is also the first of two nationals the series will host in 2025, with the latter at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee next month.
In a near $29000 purse over the two-day period, the winner Saturday will take home $4000 to win, making it the richest purse in CRSA history and the largest lion's share the series has offered for winning.
It is the third time the series has run at Woodhull in 2025. CRSA’s top two drivers in points this season, Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock, each have taken a checkered flag at “New York’s Toughest Bullring.”
“The weekend we’ve been looking forward to is finally here!” said Mike Emhof, owner of CRSA Sprints. “We can’t thank Nikki and Terry Brewer, plus Terry Pierce, enough for hosting one of two Nationals events this year. Our drivers have put on two incredible shows at Woodhull this year and we’re excited to see how it turns out with $4000 on the line.”
“This is going to be one of the biggest weekends Woodhull Raceway has ever hosted,” said Nikki and Terry Brewer, per Woodhull’s press release. “From the state’s best sprint car drivers battling for glory, to the memorial races, live music and the return of old-school Powder Puff action, fans will get it all in one unforgettable weekend.”
Here’s a look at the top stories plus the format for the weekend.
Last Time Out: CRSA headed out West to Ransomville Speedway for their second trip ever to “The Big R.”
Dillon Paddock started on pole, lost the lead on the opening lap, but regained it on lap four to take his fourth win of 2025 and his second win of the year at Ransomville.
With the win, Paddock becomes the first driver in over a decade to sweep races at a single track that hosted multiple races in a season. Danny Varin was the last to do it at Albany-Saratoga in 2014.
Paddock was able to cut his gap behind Sobotka in the overall championship to 29, meaning a 13th or better by Sobotka at Weedsport would clinch the championship for the No. 38 in his rookie season.
The race at Weedsport was scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed again due to rain. A makeup date is in the works.
Format: This weekend’s format will be different from a regular CRSA race night.
Friday night, like a regular race, an open draw will lineup eight-lap heat races. Passing points (as explained in the CRSA rulebook) will set the starting lineup. However, passing points will set the starting lineup for a pair of 20-lap A-Mains presented by Mike Emhof Motorsports. Odd-numbered positions in passing points will lineup in race one and even-numbered will lineup in race two.
The winners of each of the Twin 20s will lock into the dash for Saturday.
For Saturday (based on 50 teams), time trials will take place following hot laps, two laps within a group-only format to set the lineups for heat races.
For heats, the top four in the starting lineup will invert before the green flag. Heats are 10 laps, where the top four lock into the A-Main. The winner and fastest qualifier in the top four will go to the dash draw.
A C-Main will be 12 laps, featuring drivers 36th-50th in heat qualifying finishes, lining up based on finish. The top five will transfer to the back of the B-Main.
Between the C and B-Mains will be a pair of six-lap dashes, featuring the heat winners plus fastest qualifiers from those heats. The two lock-ins from the Friday twin 20s will also be in either by qualifying or can take 11th and 12th if no time trial. Odd pill draws will head to dash one, while even pill draws will head to dash two. Dash one sets the inside of rows one through six, while dash two sets the outside.
The B-Main is 15 laps, featuring drivers 21st through 35th in heats. The lineup is based on heat finish position. However, drivers that finished fifth place in heats will draw for positions one through five, sixth place will draw for six through 10, seventh will draw for positions 11 through 15, then the top five from the C-Main will lineup heads up, 16 through 20. The top two will transfer to the feature.
The feature is 30 laps with 24 starters. Top 12 determined by pole dash finish, spots 13-22 determined by heat finish draw of highest finisher not 13th through 17th and the last heat qualifier 18th through 22nd. Spots 23 and 24 are the B-Main qualifiers. Winner takes home $4000 and is proclaimed New York 305 Nationals champion.
Fun Events Planned: Woodhull Raceway has added to the festivities for the weekend.
Once the checkers wave Friday, the fun keeps rolling with a live concert by Be Damned and a massive bonfire to keep the energy late into the night.
Those interested in camping can bring their RVs or tents for free.
The CRSA Sprints' merchandise trailer will be open throughout both days. T-shirts, hats, hoodies, stickers and more will be available, plus limited edition 20th Anniversary apparel, while supplies last.
Who to Watch For: Each having won the last four races, Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock will be drivers to keep an eye on.
Sobotka won at Woodhull last August and has four wins in 2025. In addition, the driver of the No. 38 has had opportunities in bigger shows with the 360 Empire Super Sprints, winning at Brewerton and the 410 World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, finishing ninth in his debut. This season, every race except one, Sobotka has finished in the top five and is a race away from tying the season record.
Paddock, this season’s Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion, won at Woodhull last May and also has four wins on the season. The man they call "The Show Stopper" has had highlight reel moments, from ripping the top around tracks to using lines no one else goes to, gaining numerous spots on restarts. The No. 8 had a seven-race streak in top-three finishes from July 3 to Aug. 22.
Jordan Hutton is the last driver to win a CRSA feature not named Sobotka or Paddock. Hutton, this season’s Dandy Miniseries champion and 2023 series champion, is a past winner at Woodhull in 2023. “J-Hutt” finished second and fourth in both CRSA appearances at the track. The No. 66 has five top fives in the last six races.
Dalton Herrick scored a sixth and a seventh at Woodhull this season. Herrick, 2022 series champion, has consistently put his No. 29 in the top 10 and has a best finish of fourth at Outlaw Speedway Aug. 8.
Billy VanInwegen has made occasional appearances with CRSA this season, but when he enters, he is a threat. "Billy V" has recorded top-five finishes in all eight starts with the series, with three seconds on the year. The big races he has been known to shine in the Mike VanDusen Racing-owned No. 56V and Saturday night could be that moment.
The preliminary entry list is below. Teams with 305 Sprint Cars can still register for $100 with your name, car number and address to http://venmo.com/woodhullraceway. Anyone who doesn’t have Venmo can send a cash or check payment of $100 to Nikki Brewer at 3842 Upper Swale Road Cameron, NY 14819.
Technical rules are in the CRSA rulebook. Pre-tech will happen at the scales. Teams will be given a sticker for the weekend that they will need on their cars to race. Teams should bring their hard cards with them, regardless of the series they compete in full-time.

Bonuses: Besides the $4000 to win, extra bonuses are up for grabs.
CRSA, which has led the nation with driver giveaways, has expanded its giveaway program for this weekend. At the drivers' meeting Sept. 13, two complete sets of Smith Ti 305 legal front and rear brake kits will be given away in two separate drawings.
Drawing one will be for drivers who have competed four or fewer times in 2025 before the Sept. 12 show. Draw two will be for drivers who have competed five or more times going into the weekend. The only requirement to be eligible for the Saturday drawings is that you have to bring your car into the pits, register to race, draw a pill and attend the drivers' meeting.
In addition, the New York State Stock Car Association (NYSSCA), which sponsored a series race at Woodhull Raceway last August, will be giving out $50 to the highest finishing NYSSCA member in each of the Friday night Twin 20s.
Saturday night, they will award $100 and $75 to the two highest member finishers and $50 to a wild card member.
Representatives will be there both nights if anyone would like to join.

Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing achieve Dash win and top 5 finish with NARC 410
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing put forth a strong outing with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars on Saturday, tallying a Dash win and a top five effort in the feature at Placerville Speedway.
“It was fun getting back to racing a 410 with NARC,” Cox commented. “I enjoyed my time over the years running with the NARC series. It felt good having solid speed right off the bat, everything was lining up correctly and we had a rocket ship of a car.”
Cox began the Pay Dirt Showdown on Saturday by clocking the ninth fastest lap during ARP Qualifying aboard the Berco Redwood/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales No. 42x.
He then got the jump in his heat race and never looked back to pick up the win, locking up a starting spot in the Dash.
The 31-year-old proceeded to claim a dominating victory in the Beacon Wealth Strategy Dash to earn the pole position for the main event.
When the green flag waved in the 30-lapper Cox battled tooth and nail with Sean Becker for the lead over the first few circuits. He eventually settled into fourth, where he would run throughout the contest.
Cox closed on the third-place car as things wound down but had to settle for a P4 result at the Ed Entz checkered flag.
“In the main event we had a small issue on the right rear of the car, and it hindered how I could run the cushion, which is exactly where I needed to be for a shot to win. All around though, we had a ton of speed regardless. It felt nice to have a smooth night and be up front where we should be.”
Next up for Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing is the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic at Placerville Speedway this September 13th. It marks the final night of point racing during the Berco Redwood championship season.
Cox has captured the event twice before and hopes to do so again this weekend.
“I’m excited for the Forni-Humphreys Classic this weekend,” he said. “I would love to win a third one, which would mean even more now with CJ’s name attached to it. I miss him a lot, he will forever be my pit neighbor, and I hope to add my name to the list again in honor of him.”

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Ready for Perris’ Biggest Sprint Car Night of 2025
Chino Hills, CA — September 7, 2025 — After a weekend off
following three straight nights of racing in Northern California, Eddie
Tafoya Jr. returns to action this Saturday, September 13th, when Perris Auto
Speedway hosts its biggest sprint car program of the season. Tafoya will
pilot his familiar #51T in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car
Series that sharing the spotlight with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink
Sprint Cars in a rare and exciting open-wheel doubleheader.
The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California racer comes into the event with momentum, fresh off his best finish of 2025 — a fourth-place run in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Petaluma Speedway on Labor Day. In just his second career start with the USCS, and his first appearance at Petaluma since 2019, Tafoya charged forward from seventh on the grid to secure the top-five result on the tight 3/8-mile oval.
Earlier that evening, Tafoya was third-fastest in his qualifying group, seventh overall of the 20 cars on hand and recorded a third-place finish in his 10-lap heat race.
“The night went well,” Tafoya said of Petaluma. “The track changes a lot. You kind of start tightening up the car and then go back to where you started for the main event. Just had to make sure the car was drivable after the two previous nights.”
The strong Petaluma outing came on the heels of Tafoya’s participation in the historic reopening of Calistoga Speedway over Labor Day weekend. Racing returned to the iconic half-mile for the first time in six years in front of sellout crowds. On night one, Tafoya timed in eighth-fastest among 34 cars, finished fifth in his heat, and transferred through the B-main before ending the A-main in 16th. Night two saw him post the 18th-quickest qualifying lap, grab a second in his heat, and lock into the feature, where he placed 18th.
“I was pretty excited to go back there,” Tafoya said of his return to the big half mile. “ I am always happy to go to big fast racetracks. Unfortunately, the results didn’t necessarily pan out how we wanted but we still had fun up there. The first night I had a good starting spot in eighth. I just think I was way to tight. I was trying to compensate on how slick the dirt was getting but then it ended up getting rough so I was kind of caught in a sticky situation. I was just stuck.”
“The second night, it felt a lot better in the heat race and I almost won it,” Tafoya continued. “ In the main, we had a right rear shock let go. So I was all over the place and on the verge of being out of control, so I brought it in early.”
Tafoya, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, will now look to build on that experience as he tackles one of the biggest stages of the season at Perris Auto Speedway.
“I really do not think about it once I am inside the racecar,” Tafoya said when asked about racing in front of big crowds. “It is definitely cool to see afterwards when the people come down and appreciate the things we do. We are definitely small compared to a lot of other motorsports so its nice to have some recognition.”
