- Hodges wins opener as USMTS King of America gets under way at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 26, 2026) - It was a memorable Thursday night for a first-time Summit United States Modified Touring Series winner as Gabe Hodges celebrated a Night One win at the King of America XV at Lucas Oil Speedway. Hodges, of Lebo, Kansas, regained the lead with eight laps remaining and held on to take the $3,000 win on the first of two preliminary nights of the 15th annual event. The 23-year-old prevailed on a night that saw 66 USMTS drivers check into the pits, with a total of 176 entries across three divisions. "I've really struggled these last few weeks," Hodges said in victory lane, his crew celebrating nearby. "We put together some good finishes at the beginning of the year and made some changes to the car. We were pretty good in practice (Wednesday) night. I'm glad we figured something out here." Action resumes on Friday with the USMTS Modifieds, Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts Stock Cars. Due to cold weather conditions, start time has been moved ahead two hours with racing at 5 p.m. Grandstands are to open at 4 p.m. with the pit office open at 2:30. The top nine USMTS drivers will take their best of the two and will be locked directly into Saturday night's three-wide start championship finale, which will pay $15,000 to win and $1,500 to start. Hodges started outside of row two and was able to catch and pass pole-starting Tyler Davis for the lead on lap four. Hodges was leading by .686 seconds when the first caution slowed the action on lap nine. Reece Solander rolled into second by lap 13 and Tanner Mullens, who started 11th, up to third as Hodges continued to lead. Hodges' lead was just under one second when caution flew on lap 17 of the 30-lapper. Mullens used the restart to slide his way past Hodges and into the lead to complete lap 18, but Hodges rallied to regain the top spot on lap 22, just before the race's fourth caution came out to set up an eight-lap shootout. Mullens lost two positions on the restart as Solander and Tyler Davis advanced to second and third. Hodges was able to hold on as the race remained green, beating Solander, his teammate, by .282 seconds. "At the beginning the top was really good and I had something to lean on," Hodges said of strategy. "Later in the race, with 10 or 12 to go, I seen Tanner's nose down here on the start and on the other end he kind of got around me. I thought I beat him back to the line and I didn't drive it down deep enough to slide him. "On that restart, I knew he couldn't run the top down here and I tried to take advantage there. It got too dirty up there and there was nothing to lean on. I kind of got down in that black groove and it cleaned up real good. We have a really good race car and really good engine under the hood." Davis finished third with Rodney Sanders rallying from 20th to fourth and Brandon Davis in fifth. Joining the USMTS Modifieds will be the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, competing Thursday and Friday for $1,000 to win and $100 to start. The top eight drivers in points will take their best night and will lock into Saturday's championship features, which will pay $3,000 to win and $400 to start for both. Jackson wires B-Mod field: Lebanon's Kris Jackson led all 20 laps, holding off Jon Sheets, for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. Jackson grabbed the early lead with Sheets giving chase, staying within a half-second through the first five laps with third-place Tim Karrick nearly two seconds behind the top duo. Jackson's lead was just .229 seconds by lap 10 with the first caution appearing a lap later for a spin in the back of the field. Karrick took away second after the restart, but Sheets regained it on lap 15. Jackson was able to open some breathing room as Sheets and Karrick battled. Jackson finished off a wire-to-wire win, finishing .367 seconds in front of Sheets with Karrick third, Josh Cain fourth and Dawson David in fifth. "If you're gonna out-run Jon Sheets, you better be on the top and you better have some momentum," Jackson said of his utilization of the high groove late in the race. "He tried putting a slider there and I was able to keep enough momentum where he couldn't really clean it." Fennewald captures Stock Cars win: Third-starting Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City took the lead on lap four and drove away to the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. William Garner, starting outside of the front row, took the lead at the start and held it until Fennewald grabbed it away on lap four. Fennewald opened a 1.4-second lead by the halfway point on lap 10. He continued to set the pace the rest of the way as the race ran caution free and Fennewald prevailed by the same margin over Garner at the checkers. "It was on point all night long," Fennewald said of his car, noting that it's special to beat a deep field of competitors. "This Stock Car deal ... from every state, the toughest stock cars are here. To be able to win this deal is pretty big." Sixth-starting Shayne Bailey wound up third with Mason Martin fourth and Jeffrey Abbey taking fifth. The USRA Stock Cars and B-Mods are running for $1,000 to win and $100 to start both Thursday and Friday. The top eight drivers in points those nights will take their best night and will lock into Saturday's championship features, which will pay $3,000 to win and $400 to start for both.

- Sexton Carries Ventura Runner-Up Momentum Into Thunderbowl Debut Saturday
Lakeside, CA — March 25, 2026 — Veteran Southern California open wheel driver Brent Sexton will wrap up a busy month of March when he makes his first appearance at Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series this Saturday night, March 28th. The race will be Sexton's fifth of the month, and it comes hot on the heels of a second-place finish in the California Lightning Sprint Car race last Saturday night at the Ventura Raceway. Sexton, a Tennessee native who lives in Lakeside, California, qualified fifth fastest at Ventura. The three-time lightning sprint car champ then placed fifth in his first heat race and won his second heat on the track that is located at the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. The wily veteran started on the pole for the 20-lap main event and led most of the first circuit on the 1/5 mile track. Sexton, who last visited the Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving weekend last year, eventually slipped back to fourth. He bided his time in fourth but had moved up to second by the time veteran starter Kris Kornder ended the 20-lapper with his checkered flag. While Sexton will be making his debut at the famous Thunderbowl on Saturday, it will be the second appearance of a Sexton Gatlin Racing car at the Central Valley track. Nearly three years ago, his youngest son, Grant, tried to tame the famous 1/3 mile clay oval. In a race with the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the then-teenage driver timed in ninth fastest in qualifying. After racing up to third in his heat race, he had a meeting with another driver's rear tire and flipped. Before getting upside down, the car slammed rear-end first into the crash wall, breaking the rear end. The crew thrashed to get the car ready for the main event and narrowly got it done before the race pushed off. However, the drive shaft pulled out after only a few laps, and Grant finished 14th. Brent is hoping to have a little better luck on his Thunderbowl debut on Saturday. At the Thunderbowl, gates will open at 4:00 with hot laps at 5:00, qualifying at 6:00, and racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00 (grandstands) and $25.00 (bleachers). For seniors, tickets are priced at $28.00 (grandstands) and $23.00 (bleaschers). Kids 6-12 are $30.00 in the grandstands and $18.00 in the bleachers. Children 5 and under are free. The Thunderbowl is located on the corner of Bardsley and K Streets at 620 South K Street, Tulare (93274). The website is http://www.thunderbowlraceway.com/ and the office phone is (559) 688-0909.

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.
