- Justyn Cox claims 2nd career SCCT win on Saturday at Watsonville Speedway
Watsonville, CA…Not many drivers have been more consistent when it comes to Winged 360 Sprint Car racing over the last year than Justyn Cox in the Golden State of California. Going into Saturday at Watsonville Speedway, it had been over four years since he tasted victory lane with the Elk Grove Sprint Car Challenge Tour. The Clarksburg racer put it all together at the 66th Johnny Key Classic however and raced to his second career SCCT victory during the event. Cox took the lead at the waving of the green flag of the 30-lap Shop Kyle Larson feature and held command until young Landon Henry slid to the front on lap seven. Cox returned the favor shortly after though and dominated the remaining distance to score victory. Henry crossed the stripe in second to record his best career SCCT finish, with two-time Watsonville Speedway champ Caleb Debem in third. Marysville's Dawson Hammes came home in fourth with Livermore's Travis Labat in fifth. Completing the top 10 were Pit Stop USA/ Taco Bravo Hard Charger Carson Hammes, fast qualifier Jake Haulot, Jake Morgan, Jason Chisum and Adrianna DeMartni. Stockton's Caden Sarale dominated the BCRA/WMR Midget Super Series event over Logan Mitchell, Matt Streeter, Brody Petrie and Nicholas Leonard. The West Coast Pro Stocks saw Frank Nyback get his first career victory over Richard Brace Jr, Nick Silva, Rob Gilbertson and Brent Lawrence. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action with Western Sprint Tour Speedweek starting on July 17th at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.

- McDowell Scores Popular Victory in Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain
MARYVILLE, TN (June 20, 2026) - Dale McDowell led all 60 laps of the Mountain Moonshine Classic on Saturday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway, earning a popular hometown victory and collecting $30,000 for his 11th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. The victory was McDowell's first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph triumph since winning the Topless 100 in 2023 and his first Series victory at Smoky Mountain Speedway since 2016. Devin Moran charged from seventh to finish second after passing Friday night winner Brandon Sheppard on lap 45. Moran closed the gap in the closing laps but crossed the finish line 1.113 seconds behind McDowell. Sheppard rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third after finishing second for the first 44 laps of the race. Jake O'Neil recorded the best Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finish of his career with a fourth-place effort after running inside the top five throughout the event. Chris Madden completed the top five. With his third-place finish, Sheppard trimmed Hudson O'Neal's championship lead to just 20 points heading into next weekend's event at Lernerville Speedway. McDowell's victory was his 13th overall win at Smoky Mountain Speedway since 2008 and came in front of a home-state crowd. "I anticipated that second start and wasn't sure where the grip was going to be," McDowell said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "Things just kind of fell our way. The car was really good, and the guys have worked hard on it. I've given them some feedback, and sometimes it's probably wrong, but they keep working at it." "It was an awesome night to win close to home. Like Kyle Busch said, you never know when the last one is going to be, so I'm sure glad to get one here. Shane made a few changes from Friday night, and the car was balanced really well. I was able to pick my way through traffic and guide it where I needed to go." Moran made a late charge after overtaking Sheppard but couldn't quite reel in the veteran leader. "Dale McDowell is Dale McDowell for a reason," Moran said. "I'm ready for him to retire. When he got to traffic, I felt like I had a really good run. I was pushing hard and probably overheated the right rear tire trying to get there. Once I got to him and slid it, that pretty much hurt my chances. Still, coming from seventh to finish second isn't bad." Sheppard believed the race was decided in the opening laps. "The initial start is what lost the race for us," Sheppard said. "I saw Dale rolling a little bit and was waiting to go, but I got lifted from behind and couldn't launch like I needed to. Once he got out front, we were hoping traffic or a restart would give us an opportunity. I had a good restart and got by Madden, but on the next one I got too close to Dale entering turn one, lost the air on the nose, and Devin got by me." McDowell's winning Shane McDowell Racing Team Zero Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and backed by Reece Monument Company, Remtek Enterprises, Otterly Baths, AAA General Contracting, Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, Mark IV, M&S Motors, Jason Wright Excavating, Black Rock Enterprises, BSI Well Service, Northeastern Fabrication, and Campbell Insulation. Completing the top ten were Carson Ferguson, Max Blair, Kyle Bronson, Sam Seawright, and Dillon McCowan.

- Pursley earns first Late Model win to highlight Challenge Cup Round 2 at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 20, 2026) - Dayton Pursley overcame nerves and pressure from a pair of challengers to earn his first Late Model victory on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 23-year-old from Hermitage held off Kaeden Cornell and JC Morton to prevail in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models for a $1,000 pay day in Round 2 of the Pitts Hmes and Realty Challenge Cup. A total of 117 cars checked into the pits and other feature winners included Wyatt Gaggero (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Mason Beck (O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars) and Blaine Ewing (Hickamo Super Stocks). Pursley, who's driven Modifieds and B Mods at Lucas Oil Speedway during his young career, and also dabbled in sprint cars, was ecstatic in victory lane. He grew up coming to the track watching his dad, Jason Pursley, race Modifieds. "First of all I have to say thank you God for even letting me be here and do this," Pursley said. "But it does feel good. I'd like to say happy birthday to my mom and happy Father's Day to my dad and all the other fathers. "I don't even know what to say. I was so nervous. I had to go (to the bathroom) before (the race) and I didn't even go. I was too nervous. I want to thank my wife for being here. I don't know, just everybody who helps me." Pursley started on the pole and opened a half-second lead over Cornell by lap 10. The second half of the race saw Cornell move to the high groove in turns three and four and the low side in one and two in an effort to chase down the leader. Meanwhile, Morton advanced into third with those three well ahead of the field. As Cornell and Morton battled it out over the final laps, Pursley was able to take it to the checkers for a .457-second win over Cornell. Morton wound up third with Tucker Cox fourth and Cole Henson fifth. The Challenge Cup events pay extra money with $1,000 going to the winners in the USRA Modifieds and Late Models, and $750 to win the other three classes. Gaggero prevails in Modifieds: Eighth-starting Wyatt Gaggero took command after a caution midway through the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified feature and drove away from there for his first win of the season. Gaggero, from Wichita, Kan., beat Henry Chambers by more than three seconds to pick up the $1,000 victory. Chase Sigg led the opening lap before Chambers took the top spot on lap two. Chambers opened a three-second lead over Gaggero before a lap-nine caution wiped away that margin. The yellow was exactly what Gaggero needed, as he took the lead on the restart. Gaggero dominated form there and wound up prevailing by 3.4 seconds over Chambers by the finish. Sigg was third with Paden Phillips fourth and Cole Campbell fifth. Sheets takes B-Mod victory: Jon Sheets' flag-to-flag victory in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature saw him beat J.T. Carroll by just over a half-second. It was Sheets' second feature win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. Sheets, of Nevada, grabbed the lead at the start after a melee before an official lap could be completed saw several cars either eliminated or head ot the pits. He opened a 1.5-second margin over Morton by the halfway point on lap 10 with 12th-starting J.T. Carroll into third and Kris Jackson, who started 14th, into fourth. Morton rolled to a stop atop turn two on lap 11 to bring out a caution and put an end his chances. Sheets maintained his lead as the race remained caution-free the rest of the way and held off Carroll by .602 seconds. "I guess on that start I was moving pretty well and I saw carnage everywhere," Sheets said. "It was a long race. The race track was good, maybe a little bit top-dominant but the track must have been pretty good as the 66 (Ryan Gillmore) went to the tail and raced back up to third." Gillmore was third with Jackson fourth and Cayden Stacye fifth. Ewing wins Super Stocks thriller: Blaine Ewing of Green Ridge, Mo., made the sixth and final lead change the winner, coming out of the final turn, beating teammate Terry Schultz for the Hickamo Super Stock feature. It appeared that Schultz would pick up the win before Ewing ran him down in sight of the finish line. Ewing's margin at the checkers was .228 seconds in his first Lucas Oil Speedway win of 2026. "Honestly I didn't even see the white flag," Ewing said. "It just worked out for us. That's our other team car. I know it real well and it's fast. This place has been kryptonite for me these last couple of years, but I think we're finally starting to get it figured out." Pole starter and first-lap leader Mike Striegel saw his car lose power entering turn three on lap two. Fortunately, all the cars closing in navigated around him. Ewing led a lap after the restart before Johnny Fennewald took command on lap three. Ewing regained the lead on lap eight, passing Fennewald coming off turn two. But it was Schultz who wrested second from Fennewald on lap 11 before passing Ewing for the top spot the next time around. Ewing worked last-lap magic by using a lapped car as pick in the final turn, passing Schultz for the victory. Fennewald finished third with Aaron Poe fourth and Jacob Rexing fifth. Beck takes Stock Cars feature: Mason Beck of Urbana captured his first victory of the season, leading wire-to-wire in the 20-lap O'Reilly USRA Stock cars feature. Beck started on the pole and set the pace from the start with Jayden Bears of Kansas City giving chase. Those two separated from the field by lap five right before a trio of cautions slowed the action. Bears pulled alongside Beck on lap 12, but was unable to nudge into the lead. The two remained in a tight battle as caution flew on lap 17, just after Beck led by a few inches at the start-finish line. The three-lap shootout to the finish saw Beck hang on to beat William Garner by .816 seconds with Dawson Fennewald third, Darrell Hurt fourth and Bryan White fifth. "After I rolled this thing at (USRA) Nationals last year I haven't felt comfortable in the car and honestly about halfway through the race, I didn't feel comfortable again. It just won't do what I want," Beck said. "In a stacked field like we've got, everybody in here, you can't count out."

- Sheppard Sweeps Opening Night of Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain
MARYVILLE, TN (June 19, 2026) - Brandon Sheppard completed a clean sweep Friday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway, leading all 40 laps of the opening night of the Mountain Moonshine Classic to earn his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season. The New Berlin, Illinois driver earned $10,000 for the victory after setting overall fast time, winning his heat race, and capping off a perfect evening in Wieland Victory Lane. The win marked the 40th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph of Sheppard's career. Sheppard crossed the finish line 1.342 seconds ahead of Dale McDowell, who finished second. Garrett Alberson rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Chris Madden and Sam Seawright completed the top five. With championship points leader Hudson O'Neal finishing eighth, Sheppard trimmed his deficit from 150 points to 80 heading into Saturday night's $30,000-to-win Mountain Moonshine Classic finale. "It's hard to win here. It's nothing like any place I grew up racing," Sheppard said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "I think we won a Southern All Stars race here a long time ago, but we haven't been able to get it done since. Anytime you can run up front with Dale (McDowell) and those guys at a place like this, you know you've accomplished something." "This is our Eldora car, and I knew it was really good. I was happy with it from hot laps on. The guys did a phenomenal job getting it back together, and it was definitely a fast piece." Sheppard admitted navigating lapped traffic was one of the biggest challenges of the race. "Honestly, while I was leading, I was already thinking about what I was going to do when I got to traffic," he said. "I know better than to try passing those guys on the outside here, but they were racing three-wide in front of me. When Dale showed me a nose, I knew I had to figure out a way to get back by him and get to the bottom. I just bided my time and made it work." McDowell challenged Sheppard on multiple occasions but was never able to complete a pass for the lead. "I think I had a chance, but I hit the wall once and damaged a spoiler support, and that hurt us," McDowell said. "I was trying to widen my entry and thought I had an opening going into turn one. It was a good night for us. Once the race stayed green, I thought lapped traffic might give us an opportunity, but Brandon had really good speed in clean air. We'll work on it and see what we can do tomorrow night." Alberson continued his strong season with a third-place finish and an important gain in the championship standings. "I needed the start to go a little better," Alberson said. "If I could have gotten to Sheppard's door at the start-finish line, maybe it would have been a different race. He did exactly what he was supposed to do. We just need a little bit more. This car is really close, and honestly, this feels like a win for us. This place has been tricky for us in the past, so it's a big confidence boost." Sheppard's winning Mark Richards Racing Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and backed by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Performance Grading, Petroff Towing, Franklin Enterprises, Sunoco Race Fuels, Gunter's Honey, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, and Collins Brothers Towing. Completing the top ten were Devin Moran, Ricky Thornton Jr., Hudson O'Neal, Chris Ferguson, and Josh Rice. The evening concluded with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series crew chiefs taking center stage in a Crown Vic Challenge. Jason Durham, crew chief for Hudson O'Neal, claimed the victory in the 15-lap event. Danny White, crew chief for Brandon Sheppard, finished second, while Anthony Burroughs, crew chief for Ricky Thornton Jr., rounded out the podium in third.

- Rahmer Breaks Through In Williams Grove Sprints, Moles Takes Eastern Storm Point Lead With USAC Win
Mechanicsburg - Freddie Rahmer of Harleysville broke through for his first Williams Grove Speedway sprint car win of the season on Friday night, scoring the 20th checkered flag of his career at the oval after taking over as the third and final leader of the event. And in the Eastern Storm main event for the USAC Sprints, Californian Mitchel Moles took the win and put himself into the point leader of the Eastern Storm standings with just two races to go in the 2026 series. Nash Ely was leading the 25-lap 410 sprint main ahead of Troy Wagaman Jr. when the red flag appeared on the third circuit for a series of frontstretch flips by Cole Knopp. Knopp climbed from his racer under his own power. The restart saw Wagaman muscle by Ely for control and third starter Rahmer followed suit a lap later. And then the red flag again draped over the speedway, this time for Ely, who had bitten the fourth turn curb and flipped over. Again the driver climbed from his racer under his own power. After refueling the balance of the feature would go non-stop with Wagaman pulling out to a 1.3 second lead over Rahmer and Chase Dietz by the halfway point. Rahmer nearly repeated the feat performed by Ely a few laps earlier after action had resumed as he too bit the fourth corner curb and nearly turned over only to save the car and regoup. Shortly thereafter traffic came into play for Wagaman and by lap 16, with the track blocked in front of him, the cars of Rahmer, Dietz and also Lance Dewease were breathing down his neck. Those four drivers all raced under a blanket for the next four laps within striking distance of one another before Rahmer finally got far enough alongside Wagaman to be scored the leader with two laps to go. Relegated to second, Wagaman regrouped for the final mile and in the final set of turns he went for one big outside swoop to steal the lead back. It was anybody's raced as the pair blasted off of the fourth turn and Rahmer prevailed, holding Wagaman off by .136 seconds at the line as the pair bounced off of one another just before passing under the checkers. Dietz was third followed by Dewease and Buddy Scheweibinz. Sixth through 10th went to TJ Stutts, Samuel Miller, JJ Loss, Doug Hammaker and Brent Shearer. Heats were won by Samuel Miller, Ely and Rahmer. Justin Grant was leading the 30-lap USAC main over Briggs Danner when the only caution flag of the race appeared with two laps completed. Mitchel Moles pounced on the restart and went to work on Danner for second before taking the spot with four away. Grant hit the rear of the field on lap 12, carrying a .322 second advantage. However as the leader negotiated hectic traffic Moles erased the margin and the pair was swerving and darting between cars when Moles was able to first take a look inside for the lead with 13 laps to go. Grant was maintaining slim control with 10 laps to go and doing his best to fend off Moles, Danner and Brady Bacon before the pressure became to much with just under nine laps left. All four drivers were slicing through the backmarkers in the second turn when a Moles lane change netted him control as both he and Grant split a lapped car. Moles then powered away at the front of the field to score the $6,000 victory by 4.962 seconds. Grant settled for second followed by Bacon, Kyle Cummins and Danner. Sixth through 10th went to Robert Ballou, CJ Leary, Ricky Lewis, Charles Davis Jr., and Chase Stockon. Heats were taken by Lewis, Ed Aikin and Davis Jr. Jake Swanson of Anaheim, California, set fast time with a lap of 20.061 seconds. Feature Finishes 6/19/26 410 sprint cars, 25 laps: 1.

FREMONT, OH - Cap Henry made it five different winners in five events of the 44th Annual Overwatch Precision Ohio Sprint Speedweek Presented by Kistler Engines/Kistler Racing Products, taking the $10,000 Napa Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline Oil victory Friday, June 19 at Fremont Speedway Presented by the FriendShip Kitchen. The two time and defending Fremont Speedway track champion took the lead from Cale Thomas on lap 21 and held off a big challenge from Kalib Henry following a caution with just three laps to go to score his 28th career win at "The Track That Action Built." It is Henry's 14th career All Star victory and his fifth overall win of 2026 (3 wins at Attica and 1 at Mansfield) coming on Darmofal Racing/Murphy Tractor/Autokiniton Night. "I'm glad we finally broke our streak of finishing fifth every night. My guys have worked their butts off this week and I'm glad I could finally reward them. Last year we screwed up on the speedweek finale and it cost us the championship. Hopefully we don't do that tomorrow but Danny (Dietrich) is pretty good at Wayne County so we will have to step up our game," said Henry in the Big B Coffee/Gates Corporation Victory Lane. "I knew I had to go where no one else was running and it was the top side of one and two. It was tricky but Zack and the guys had the car really good," said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolition, Premier Planning Services, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, The Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, Innovative Excavating, FK Rod Ends, Mobil 1, King Racing Products, Simpson, Keizer Wheels, Blue Stripe Equipment Rentals, Elite Wings, SCS Gearbox, Ti64, Berryman Racing Shocks, Power Cool Manufacturing, Dyer's Top Rods, Kistler Racing Products, Griff's Engines, Callie's, Factory 41, Ballistic Designs backed #33W. Thomas grabbed the early lead of the 35-lap feature with Tim Shaffer, Kalib Henry, Darin Naida and Ryan Newton in tow. Cap Henry, who started seventh, moved into the top five by lap five as Thomas pulled away from a terrific battle for second between Shaffer and Kalib Henry. Cap Henry moved into third by lap 10 as the leaders hit lapped traffic. Cap took second from Kalib Henry on lap 13 and three laps later had closed the game to leader Thomas. Following a caution on lap 19, Cap Henry immediately put pressure to the outside of Thomas and took the lead on lap 21. With five laps to go Cap's lead was over two seconds as Thomas and Kalib Henry battled for second. A caution with just three laps to go allowed Kalib Henry to shoot to the outside of Thomas on the restart and grab second and immediately closed on Cap Henry. Kalib took a couple of peaks to Cap's outside but good not get the pass as Cap took the checkers over Kalib Henry, Thomas, Naida and Bryce Lucius. In the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints Tyler Shullick looked headed to his second career Fremont Speedway win, but Bryan Sebetto had other plans. Sebetto was the only car in the top five to go to the top of the track and following a caution on lap 18, raced side by side with Shullick until taking the lead with just five laps to go. Sebetto earned his third win of the year at Fremont and his 31st career victory at the track over Shullick, Jimmy McGrath, Dustin Dinan and Jamie Miller. "Nobody was really running the top…Dustin was early in the race but he wasn't running it as hard. That was kind of my game plan going in was to run the top in one and two and go where ever I had to go in three and four. I can't say enough about Bobby Clark and Tony Myers and Josh Wagner and my wife Rian and Kurt Level," said Clark beside his Coastal Cabinet and Flooring, Fremont Fence, Shelluke's Bar, Level Performance, Level Utilities, Nagy Equipment, Dockside Barbershop, Riehl Custom Fabrication, Cutting Edge, Schade, BSE, Overwatch Precision, BRS, Race Ready, Recker Team Howard Hanna Real Estate backed #8.

- Brody Roa Roarin' and Ready to Return to Perris on Saturday
Cypress, CA - June 18, 2026 — For only the second time in seven months, 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa will be climbing into his bright green #91R at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday night. After a successful season-opening second-place finish a month ago in the Salute to Indy at Perris, the popular driver is eagerly awaiting this week's race at the 30-year-old speed plant. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, with his wife, Tailor, and their two young daughters, nearly missed the Salute to Indy. Initially, the veteran driver had planned to make his season debut earlier than May. However, once the engine he purchased over the winter was put on the dyno, it was discovered that it had some issues. That delayed his start while waiting on replacement parts. Then, two days before the race at Perris, there was a chemical leak in Garden Grove that forced parts of the city to be evacuated. His house was four homes away from the evacuation area. While Roa, his dad Brett, and his Uncle B stayed and worked on the car, Tailor and the girls headed to the river. That came just 24 hours after she, Brody, and the girls returned from vacation at the river. Considering being out of the car so long, not having turned a lap on the new engine, and the chaos swirling from the chemical leak, Roa's performance was sensational. On Thursday night, he did a quick interview reflecting on that night at the track. S.D.: Were you surprised by how well it went on the first night out? Roa: Honestly, it went smoother than I thought with the engine. I was expecting to have to play with the throttle linkage and springs. Mess around and get myself comfortable with how the throttle works. It worked real nice. I must have gotten lucky with everything I set up and the geometry. Honestly, I did not touch it all night. That was nice. S.D.: That was a smooth start. Are you doing anything different this week? Roa: No. Just going to show up with the same stuff and hopefully with a little less rust (on himself after not racing a sprint car in six months). I hope to have another good night. We tried something in the main event that did not work. We tried it one night in the past and had similar results. We were hoping it would have a little more grip, but it didn't. I am going to leave that stuff in the garage this weekend and just show up with a car that we know works and just run it. S.D.: I am guessing you are pumped up and eager to return to action on Saturday after such a promising start. Roa: I am pretty excited after that first run. We qualified pretty good, and ran pretty good in the heat race (he won the heat). Pretty cool to show back up and do that. Hopefully, we can have a pretty similar night and do a little better. SD: You raced for points for a long, long time. After winning the 2023 USAC/CRA Championship, you started racing more for fun where and when you wanted. Do you think you will ever race for points again? Roa: Yes, and no. The points racing deal is fun. But it is a season-long pull. Showing up without having to worry about qualifying points and stuff is nice for me. Not having to worry about losing six qualifying points right off the bat to start the night is nice as well. One day, maybe. But where life is, just showing up is the way we do it right now. 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.

- Mitchel Moles and Tim Buckwalter end runner-up status at Big Diamond Speedway
(Minersville, PA 6-18-26) Big Diamond Speedway served as host to night #3 of the Yokohama Tire Eastern Storm Presented by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment which featured the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship along with the BQ Concrete 358 Modifieds which paid $6000 and $3000 respectively to the winners. For both victors —Mitchel Moles of Raisin City, California, in the USAC feature and Tim Buckwalter of Pottstown in the Modified main—the night marked a long-awaited breakthrough at Big Diamond Speedway after previous runner-up finishes. Moles was second here in the past two Eastern Storm events while Buckwalter has taken runner-up finishes four times this season. In the USAC feature Moles got the jump on pole sitter Chase Stockon in taking to the early lead over Justin Grant, Stockon, Kevin Thomas Jr., and Brady Bacon. And it didn't take him long to establish himself as the top contender, pulling to a well-enough lead over Grant during the opening circuits. While Moles was well in control there was a heavily contested battle between Grant, Stockon, Kevin Thomas Jr., and Briggs Danner taking place. Most notable was Danner and Thomas Jr., as they were engaging in a thrilling dogfight, several times in side-by-side fashion. Danner would eventually get past Thomas and then zeroed in on Stockon and Grant. By the mid-way point Moles was well ahead of the pack. Meanwhile Danner had picked up third and was closing in on Grant when on lap 19 the caution waved for a spin by Olivia Thayer. On the restart Moles fired off perfectly to maintain his lead while Danner got a good run off turn 2 and passed Grant for second. But try as he may there was no denying Moles who drove every lap with perfection and went on to score his first Big Diamond Speedway USAC Sprint Car win and first on the Eastern Storm tour. Bacon, Grant and Stockon completed the top five. "It feels good to finally get one of these at Eastern Storm," said Moles. "I told Logan (Seavey), I think it was two years ago, 'man, I really want to win here.' It's got a hell of a crowd and it's in the middle of nowhere. It's kind of the stuff I like." The 358 Modified feature was edge-of-the-seat racing as Buckwalter had to fight tooth and nail with current points leader Louden Reimert en route to claim the hard fought verdict. The race began with an electrifying three-wide battle between Corey Renninger, Cliff Quinn and Tim Fitzpatrick and at the completion of the circuit it would be Quinn who secured the lead. A restart on lap two would see sixth starting Buckwalter take over third from Renninger and the next time around got by Fitzpatrick for second. Buckwalter then rode the outside line and in doing so raced to the top spot while working lap five. Fitzpatrick would also get by Quinn and after doing so reeled in leader Buckwalter and the pair then went into a great side-by-side clash with Fitzpatrick being scored at the front to begin lap nine. That would be short lived, however, as Buckwalter quickly reclaimed the lead as they exited the second corner and at the same time Reimert was now in on the hunt. Reimert cleared Fitzpatrick as lap 10 went into the books. From there, the race became an electrifying two-car battle. Lap after lap, Buckwalter was forced into defense, holding off a relentless challenge from Reimert, who continued to search for any opening to take the lead. In the closing laps Buckwalter was keeping his Weller Motorsports No. 942 on the bottom of the track which ultimately enabled him to secure his way to victory. "It feels great to finally get one and just for Dennis and Donna Weller for trusting in me to run this car. We've had a lot of speed, but it seemed that we just couldn't knock the door down. Tonight I tried to give it away. I got up on the top and once Louden (Reimert) showed us his nose I just had to slow down and be patient and that's what we did for the last 13 laps," said Buckwalter. "I knew he was there and he's just so good this year around the bottom and I knew that's where I had to stay on those closing laps, so I had to slow down because if he was going to go around me he was going to have to do it from the top." Duane Howard moved to third on lap 14 and remained there to the finish. Logan Watt held off Mike Lisowski in completing the top five. USAC Sprint Car finish (30 laps): 1. Mitchel Moles, 2. Briggs Danner, 3. Brady Bacon, 4. Justin Grant, 5. Chase Stockon, 6. Robert Ballou, 7. Kyle Cummins, 8. Jake Swanson, 9. Hayden Reinbold, 10. Ricky Lewis, 11. Cale Coons, 12. Christian Bruno, 13.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Back at Perris Saturday After Salute to Indy Third-Place Finish
Chino Hills, CA — June 18, 2026 — Four weeks after recording his second podium finish of the 2026 season, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will be back in action this Saturday night when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to Perris Auto Speedway. The race will mark his ninth start of the season. Tafoya, who resides in Chino Hills, California, opened his 2026 campaign with a strong run that included a third-place finish at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. He followed that with a pair of sixth-place finishes at Central Arizona Speedway, along with fifth-place results at both Perris Auto Speedway and Central Arizona. After his fifth race of the year, the 28-year-old underwent surgery to repair the hand he injured at Perris in 2025. While the incision from the procedure has healed, his hand is still only about 50%. However, it would be hard to tell by looking at his results. In the three races since the surgery, Tafoya has recorded sixth and fifth-place finishes, along with the aforementioned third-place effort at Perris. Just as importantly, Tafoya has rolled the car back into the trailer in one piece after every race, and finished on the lead lap in all eight of his starts this season. Part of that success can be attributed to his improved qualifying efforts in 2026. Starting closer to the front has allowed him to avoid much of the mid-pack chaos and consistently puts himself in a position for strong finishes. Despite not chasing points in 2026 and skipping selected events, Tafoya currently sits 10th in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car championship standings. Through his first six USAC/CRA appearances of the year, Tafoya owns an impressive 6.16 qualifying average. In his two starts at Perris, that number is 6.50. Heading into Saturday's race, he carries a stellar 4.87 overall main event finishing average this season, including a 4.0 average on the famous Southern California half-mile clay oval. 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. 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 Eddie Tafoya's 2026 Results 2/28/26 Mohave Valley Raceway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 3rd A Main 3/12/26 The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Ultimate Sprint Cars 6th A Main 3/13/26 The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Ultimate Sprint Cars 6th A Main 3/21/26 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 5th A Main 4/18/26 Central Arizona Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 5th A Main 5/15/26 Central Arizona Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 5th A Main 5/16/26 Central Arizona Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 6th A Main 5/23/26 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 3rd A Main This release was produced by Scott Daloisio.

- Chris Andrews gets last lap, last corner pass for All Star Ohio Speedweek win
WAYNESFIELD, Ohio - Chris Andrews was determined not to let a feature win slip through his grasp Thursday, June 18 at Waynesfield Raceway Park. The Sandusky, Ohio driver got up on the wheel the last three laps and blasted around Bryce Lucius in the last corner of the last lap to score the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline Oil win during the 44th Annual Overwatch Precision Ohio Sprint Speedweek Presented by Kistler Engines and Kistler Racing Products. It was an emotional win for Andrews, who has struggled to start the 2026 season. "That last lap I said to myself 'Chris it's time to ball up and go.' My guys have worked so hard to turn this program around. You give so much to this sport and it sometimes just beats you down and I was to the point I was about to give up. I put it to the fence and drove the wheels off this thing," said Andrews beside his Ohio Truck Sales, Fleet Financial, Real American Beer, Whiteford Kenworth, BRS Shocks backed #15C. Andrews led the first 16 laps of the 35 lap feature at "The Field" before Lucius took over. Andrews fell back to third by lap 21 behind Lucius and Nate Dussel. With just seven laps to go Lucius was mired in thick lapped traffic and Dussel and Andrews closed. Andrews got around Dussel on the white flag lap and entering the final set of turns, Lucius had to make a decision with a lapped car and Andrews pounced, blast to the outside and around Lucius for his second career All Star win, his other series win coming in 2013. Lucius, Dussel, DJ Foos and Cap Henry rounded out the top five. Defending Ohio Speedweek champion Danny Dietrich's sixth place finish should put him in the lead heading into the $10,000 to win show Friday at Fremont and the $10,000 to win event at Wayne County Speedway Saturday. In the USAC D2 Midgets, Zach Wigal led all 20 laps for his second win of the year with the series.
