- Madsen leads all the way in High Limit Diamond Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 18, 2025) - It was all Kerry Madsen on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 54-year-old native of Australia, who's now based in Knoxville, Iowa, picked up his first career Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint racing victory. Madsen led all 30 laps to earn the $12,000 prize. He outdistanced runner-up Sue Lynch by 2.79 seconds with Tanner Holmes finishing third. "The car's been super quick every time we've hit the track," Madsen said, noting several competitive runs in the early portion of the High Limit schedule. "The car's been quick every night, which gives you a lot of confidence. "We haven't drawn well in dashes and had some little stuff going on. We drew a good one (tonight) and the car was good and we got the job done. I'm pretty happy." That changed this time as Madsen beat Holmes in the dash, to claim the pole position for the feature. Madsen said his young crew chief Ty Wolfgang has "done a great job" getting in sync with him. Communication has been a big key. "I know it sounds weird, but just hanging out together," Madsen said of the driver-crew chief chemistry. "Dinner and a beer and just talk about racing. You do that and it might be a Wednesday night, but something clicks. He's been real receptive with that stuff and that's great." Madsen, a former Knoxville Nationals 360 winner, paced the early going after starting from the pole, with Holmes in close pursuit. Action slowed on lap six with Chase Randall and Danny Samms III tangling in turn two for the first and only yellow of the event. Lynch moved into second on the restart as Madsen opened a 1.5-second lead by lap nine as Holmes dropped to third. Madsen's margin swelled to nearly two seconds by lap 11 - but Lynch tracked down the leader and cut the deficit to a half-second at the halfway mark on lap 15. As the race continued until green-flag conditions, Madsen settled into a one-second advantage as Lynch and Holmes tried to keep pace. Madsen poured it on in the late stages, cruising to the checkers by nearly three seconds over Lynch. "Hopefully we can keep rolling like this all year. Obviously you can't win every night, but being quick and running well is going to be awesome," Madsen said. Lynch, 28 from Cowansville, Pa., said the team found some steering issues and gave him a fast car. It just was not fast enough to stay with Madsen on Saturday night. "We were battling steering issue in the dash and it was pretty obvious," Lynch said. "We just didn't have time to change it and we just tried to make it the best we could. Really the car was super good. The guys busted their butt all night. It's a testament to the team. We're working hard and hopefully one spot better real soon." Holmes, a 22-year-old from Jacksonville, Oregon, came home third with Daison Pursley fourth, Hank Davis fifth and Rico Abreu charging from 11th to sixth. "Our best night of the year," Holmes said. "We've got to race a little bit during a break with High Limit these last few weeks. Some of those nights when we got our teeth kicked in taught us a lot." The Diamond Classic was the first of three High Limit Racing events at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, with the series returning for the 16th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial, Sept. 17-19. Fast overall qualifier was Sye Lynch at 13.342 seconds out of Group A. Aaron Reutzel led Group B with a lap of 13.469 seconds. Both were well off the track record for 410 Sprints held by Rico Abreu at 12.829 seconds on June 29, 2024.

- Racy track helps Rick Laubach drive to Modified victory at Big Diamond Speedway
(Minersville, PA 4-17-26) Friday night's racing action at Big Diamond Speedway, which was sponsored by Frank DiMarco Autobody and Auto Repair of New Philadelphia, saw all six features that where run produce plenty of side-by-side racing and passing thanks to a well-prepared track surface. In the BQ Concrete 358 Modifieds Rick Laubach of Quakertown scored his 28th career win. The USS Achey Inc., 602 Crate Sportsman ran a pair of features that included the holdover from April 10 and coming home victorious was Zach Steffey of Sinking Springs and Nate Brinker from Macungie. Alex Schoffstall of Llewelyn drove to his second win in three races with the Red White and Blue Autos Inc., Roadrunners and Kevin Fitzpatrick from Branch Dale swept the twin Big Creek Rookie 602 Crate Sportsman mains. Friday night highlighted Laubach's resilience as a veteran driver, particularly after two challenging initial events that did not yield positive results, typical of what has come to be expected of the high-standard performance that has defined his career. "It hasn't been the best for us the first couple races and finally tonight Jake (Smulley) gave us a good track, you could run high and that's all you want to ask for," said Laubach. "This is one of the best facilities around and tonight there was two grooves, and you could run high and you could run low and that was good racing as far as I'm concerned." The initial outset start of the race was jumbled as the field was preparing to complete the first lap and in the process defending champion Louden Reimert was taken out after hitting the wall. When things did get going pole sitter Cody Manmiller dashed out ahead of Mike Burrows, Alan Rudalavage, Laubach and Kevin Olenick. Laubach wasn't wasting time as he blasted to second by lap three. Also on the move was Tim Buckwalter who tagged along with Laubach for third. From there Manmiller was keeping his guard up as best he could against Laubach who was keeping him close in his sights. His hard-fought effort would last until the start of lap seven as Laubach went to his outside and took control from there. Following a lap 10 caution, Buckwalter was able to move up to second. Although Buckwalter was fast just as he has been each race thus far, Laubach maintained his lead, smoothly passing slower traffic without any setbacks and went on to score his first victory of 2026. "I knew he (Buckwalter) has a good motor and when I saw him get into second I just had to beat him into the corners and just try to race and that's real racing right there and you have to have a track to do it and he (Smulley) gave it to us," said Laubach. "I'll be honest I didn't do a lot to this car, and I really didn't even scale it. I put it on the ground this afternoon and said it looks good and I told my wife I'm going to mow the grass." Not to be overshadowed by the two front runners, third place finisher Logan Watt also turned in a remarkable drive. Watt pitted following the lap one incident for a flat tire but once returning he continued to pass cars at will en route to his best run to date. Likewise, Brandon Edgar put his car through the paces in taking a solid fourth while Mike Lisowski rounded out the top five. In the make-up 602 Crate Sportsman feature Steve Hughes took the reins at the front and was having a time dueling with Jimmy Leiby. Several restarts over the first seven laps had been called back due to the front pair jumping too soon and officials felt it was then necessary to set both drivers back one row. That would put Steffey into the lead and it was clear he was not about to give it up. His car was very quick and although Nate Brinker had hustled up to second and was within reach, Steffey never wavered and held on for his first career win at Big Diamond. The nightcap saw Ryan Conrad jump to the early lead with Leiby once again the runner-up pursuer. Leiby would then make good on a lap sox restart to take over the top spot. Brinker slipped into second and when he did he began to put plenty of pressure on the leader. Brinker's persistence paid off following a lap 11 restart in which he used the outside lane to get by Leiby and move to the lead and there would be no looking back from there. As a result of his second place tallies in both features Brinker was the recipient of a free American Racer tire for having the best overall finish. Second place finisher Matt Martino had a very good run and pushed hard to try and catch Brinker and then there was that of Ryan Graver who's third place score came while blasting the outside line and had time run out before he could go any further. Alex Schoffstall overtook Mike Reichert after halfway through and easily secured his second win of the season and 39th overall in the Roadrunners feature. Reichert as well as early leader Jim Kost stayed second and third to the finish respectively. The ruling in the Rookie 602 Crate Sportsman division is win three times and you must move up to the regular Crate class and for Kevin Fitzpatrick it was easy as 1-2-3, three straight races and three straight wins. The first feature was the make-up from the previous week, and Fitzpatrick made a daring last lap pass over race-long leader Mason Harakel. The in the regularly scheduled main he needed only three laps to grab the lead from Josh Metzger and from there on it was smooth sailing. 358 Modified finish (25 laps): 1. Rick Laubach, 2.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Looks To Continue Early-Season Prowess at USAC/CRA Race at Central Arizona Raceway
Chino Hills, CA — April 16, 2026 — After last weekend's race was canceled due to weather, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will climb back into his beautiful #51T and head to Central Arizona Raceway for Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series event. It will be his first appearance at the track since last November's USAC National Sprint Car Series Western World Championships. Tafoya has enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 season. Through four starts, he has yet to finish worse than sixth. He opened the year at another Arizona venue, Mohave Valley Raceway, on February 28, where he finished third in the USAC/CRA main event. A couple of weeks later, he ventured to the half-mile Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for two nights of Ultimate Sprint Car Series competition, recording sixth-place finishes on both nights in "Sin City." He then returned to USAC/CRA action at his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, on March 21, where the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year came home fifth. This season, Tafoya has been a consistent frontrunner, leading laps and running near the head of the pack in every outing. His performance has drawn attention from both fans and competitors alike. "I feel really good, and pretty confident this year," Tafoya said last month. "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." For fans heading to Central Arizona Raceway, the track is located at 512 11 Mile Corner in Casa Grande, Arizona, 85194. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. GENERAL ADMISSION (TICKETS SOLD AT THE GATE) ADULTS: $20 SENIORS/MILITARY: $18 YOUNG ADULTS 11-17: $10 10 AND UNDER: FREE For more information, visit the track website: https://www.centralazraceway.com/ For fans unable to attend in person, the race will be streamed live on Flo Racing. Following Saturday's race, Tafoya is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday for a hand injury sustained in a crash at Perris Auto Speedway last August. He plans to return to action when the USAC/CRA series visits Central Arizona Raceway again on May 15. Eddie Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at eddietafoya51.

- Wagaman Beats Dietz and Dietrich For 8K Grove Tommy Classic Win
Mechanicsburg - Troy Wagaman Jr. claimed the 30-lap Tommy Hinnershitz Classic for Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night. It was his first win in the race, worth $8,000. It was also the first oval win of the season for the defending track champion. Both Wagaman and Danny Dietrich shared the front for the start of the main event with Wagaman getting back to the line first when the first lap was scored while Dietrich got shuffled backward. On the opening lap both Brock Zearfoss and Brent Shearer split Dietrich in the second corner, relegating him to fourth before Freddie Rahmer also drove by. Zearfoss was chasing Wagaman when the first caution flag of the race unfurled with five laps away for a spin by Kody Hartlaub. Rahmer went to work on Shearer when action resumed and took third with seven laps down. As Zearfoss raced to stay with Wagaman, Rahmer began gaining on the second place driver. And then just as Rahmer was ready to make a pass for the spot, Zearfoss slowed suddenly and withdrew on lap 14. At the same time the race at the front of the field entered the backmarkers, allowing Rahmer to begin running down the leader. And then a final caution flag with 11 laps to go wiped out a 1.3 second lead built by Wagaman when Lance Dewease stopped on the track while running seventh. Austin Bishop restarted third for the new green with Chase Dietz having slipped up to fourth. When action got back underway it was Dietrich who came to life and as both he and Dietz challenged Rahmer for second with Bishop faltering. Fans rose to their feet as the trio dueled for the spot. Dietz challenged on the bottom and Dietrich worked the top groove on Rahmer at the new green with both drivers advancing to second and third respectively by lap 23. But by the time the pair had rid themselves of Rahmer and could focus on the top spot, Wagaman had driven out to a comfortable margin. And it would be an advantage of .971 seconds that he would hold to the finish over Dietz, Dietrich, Rahmer and Cameron Smith. Sixth through 10th went to Justin Whittall, Bishop, Doug Hammaker, Matt Campbell and Shearer. The victory was the fifth overall of Wagaman's career at Williams Grove Speedway. It was also the second of the season at the track for mounts owned by Mike Heffner as Steven Snyder Jr. wheeled to a win for the stables in early April. Heats went to Bishop, Dietz and Dietrich with Dylan Cisney claiming the B Main. Wagaman set fast time with a lap of 16.786 seconds. Sam Rial won the 15-lap xtreme stock main to close the night. Evan Foust was second followed by Mike Goodwin, Rayn Bloom and Daren Rice. Heats went to Rial and Foust. Feature Finishes 4/17/26 410 sprint cars, 30 laps: 1. Troy Wagaman Jr., 2. Chase Dietz, 3.
