- Thomas Tops Empire Super Sprints Field at Cornwall
By Curtis Berleue (Cornwall, ONT) | On Sunday night in Cornwall, Jordan Thomas picked up his first Empire Super Sprints win of the season over Alex Therrien and Shawn Donath. Thomas led 20 laps after starting on the pole to earn $2,000 and extend his Transport Benoit Lafleur Canadian Tour points lead. Jordan Thomas and Alex Bergeron would lead the field to the initial green, with Bergeron jumping out to an early lead. His lead was short lived though, as the field was stopped by a red flag for Evan Reynolds flipping in turn four. When racing resumed, Bergeron again took the lead, with Thomas and Alex Therrien falling in line behind him. As the leaders entered lap traffic, Bergeron maintained pace until making contact with a lap car, resulting in a flip in turn one. As Thomas inherited the lead on the ensuing restart, he was able to maintain it through multiple restarts and heavy lap traffic. Jordan Poirier had entered a podium spot, from his eighth-place starting position, only to be involved in an incident with four laps to go, effectively ending his night. Thomas would have to survive one final restart with a lap remaining, but was able to hold on to capture his first Empire Super Sprints win of the 2026 season. "Bergeron really set a good pace there at the beginning," said Thomas in victory lane. "It was just equal with those lap cars. We'd catch them in a couple laps and they were kind of all over the place and hard to judge." "I don't know what it is about this track, it's kind of like Outlaw down home and I go pretty good there so I'm always really excited to get back here, I wish it was on the schedule a little bit more." Alex Therrien held on for a second-place finish. "I think I was too gentle with the lap cars," said Therrien. "I tried my best, but Jordan was very fast." Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashely Lynn Winery podium with a third place finish. "These guys have got my car driving super good, this is a new car and it's been driving extremely well since we got it out of the box," said Donath. "The restarts - they were starting really early so when you were back a couple of rows, it made it extremely difficult to keep up." With 24 cars signed in, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Mathieu Bardier, Shawn Donath and Jason Barney. Elab Smokers Boutique heats were won by Jordan Poirier, Jeremy Lafleur and Joe Trenca. The Empire Super Sprints will now have a week off, followed by another trip north of the border - this time to Autodrome Granby on Friday August 21, and Autodrome Drummond on Saturday August 22.

- 34th Annual Topless 100 Awaits Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Batesville Motor Speedway
BATAVIA, OH (August 10, 2026) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series heads to Batesville Motor Speedway in Batesville, Arkansas, this Friday and Saturday, August 14-15, for the 34th Annual Ace Doran Topless 100 presented by Big River Steel. One of the most recognizable events on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series calendar, the Topless 100 puts a unique twist on Super Late Model racing as competitors remove the roofs from their cars for the weekend. The two-day event will feature a pair of preliminary features Friday before Saturday night's 100-lap finale, which will pay $50,000 to the winner. On Friday, Pit gates will close at 2:30 p.m. and reopen at 3 p.m., with the general admission gates opening at 4 p.m., followed by the drivers meeting at 7 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT. Two preliminary events will be held on Friday, each offering a $5,000-to-win prize. The field will be divided into two groups based on a pill draw, with each group competing in a full program of Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and their respective 25-lap segments A-Main. The top 16 drivers in points from Friday's preliminary events will automatically qualify for the A-Main on Saturday, while the remaining drivers will start in a B-Main. Championship night begins with pit gates opening at 4 p.m. The grandstands also open at 4 p.m. Fans will have an opportunity to meet the drivers during an autograph session from 6:15-7 p.m., with hot laps beginning at 7:30 p.m. CT. The on-track action begins with Dirt Draft Hot Laps at 7:30 PM, followed by B-Mains for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. The weekend then reaches its climax with the 34th Annual Topless 100 - a 100-lap Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series A-Main paying $50,000 to win. The runner-up will collect $20,000, third pays $10,000, and each of the 24 feature starters is guaranteed at least $2,000 from the $150,000 Saturday night purse. The IMCA Modifieds will compete in a complete program each night. The Topless 100 weekend arrives with the battle for the Big River Steel Championship Presented by ARP continuing to tighten. Brandon Sheppard leads the standings, just 85 markers ahead of Hudson O'Neal. Devin Moran is a close third, leaving the top three separated by only 145 points entering the weekend. Brandon Overton holds fourth, followed by Max Blair. Ricky Thornton Jr., Garrett Alberson, Josh Rice, Brian Shirley and Kyle Bronson complete the current top 10.

- Chance Grasty makes late move to record 2nd career Placerville win
Placerville, CA…Chance Grasty made a bold move during a lap 17 restart to grab the lead and go on to record his second career Placerville Speedway victory on Saturday night. Fellow winners at Red Hawk Resort + Casino Night included Rod Oliver with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Michael Tobiason with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars. The 30-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with Justyn Cox jumping out to the lead and having his way with things for much of the contest. Numerous slowdowns were seen during the main event, but Cox was perfect on each and every restart for a majority of the contest. Chance Grasty had methodically worked his way forward though and was determined to pounce as the race wound down. Grasty charged into second on lap 16 and would make the race changing move on a restart to blast around Cox for the top spot. Once taking over the lead on lap 18 Grasty walked away to claim the Ed Entz checkered flag over Cox, Jake Morgan, Tanner Carrick and Kenny Wanderstadt. A strong field of 29 Sprint Cars competed on Saturday night. Yuba City's Rod Oliver claimed the Ltd. Late Model feature for his second win of the year over Tyler Lightfoot and Clark Gougliomani. Kevin Jinkerson led early in the Pure Stock main event until encountering issues right when Nick Baldwin made the move by on lap 14. Baldwin went on to claim his 47th career Placerville Speedway win over Lightfoot and Ray Trimble. The Nor-Cal Dwarf Car feature provided excitement with multiple drivers from Southern California battling up front. Robert Peters led early until Michael Tobiason charged past to grab the lead. He then had to withstand the challenges of Darren Brown but hung tough and claimed the checkered flag for his first career Placerville Speedway. Brown, Mike Reeder, Dan Geil and Toby Brown completed top five. Placerville Speedway returns to action with Kings Meats Burger Night on Saturday August 15th.

- Josh Rice Scores Biggest Win of His Career with First North/South 100 Title
WALTON, KY (August 8, 2026) - Josh Rice finally sealed the deal Saturday night, capturing the biggest win of his career at his home track with a victory in the 44th Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil at Florence Speedway. Rice earned a career-high $75,000 before a packed grandstand. Rice and Jonathan Davenport endured a wild, lead-swapping duel, with Rice leading the final two laps to earn the victory at the track where he began his career in an open-wheel modified. Luke Morey, making his first North-South 100 start, finished third, followed by Devin Moran and Brandon Overton. Dan Ebert took the lead at the start and paced the first seven laps before Davenport took over the top spot. On a lap 11 restart, Ebert's driveline broke, causing him to slow coming off turn four and triggering a 15-car pileup. The incident eliminated LOLMDS championship points leader Brandon Sheppard and Bobby Pierce, who was seeking his fourth consecutive North-South 100 victory. After a lengthy cleanup, Davenport maintained the lead until lap 25, when Kyle Bronson took over the top spot. Bronson and Davenport were battling for the race lead when the two made contact coming off turn two, sending Davenport spinning into the inside berm. Bronson then led until lap 62, when Devin Moran took over. Moran held the lead until Davenport, who had pitted for repairs following the lap 51 incident, charged back to the front. Davenport's lead was short-lived, as Moran regained the top spot on lap 85. Davenport answered immediately, passing Moran to retake the lead on lap 86. Davenport held the lead until Rice charged from fourth and caught him as the duo raced to the white flag. Rice took the lead off turn four, then lost it between turns three and four after getting into the wall on the final lap. He drove back underneath Davenport to take the checkered flag. In Wieland Victory Lane for the fifth time in his career, the current O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie-of-the-Year points leader reflected on the victory. "I am a frickin' North-South 100 winner. We put on four different tires, wrecked three different times and we had a Daytona 500 crash on the front stretch. It worked out and I didn't even know I had a left front. I had about six pep talks when I pitted. I am speechless. What just happened? I can't thank my dad and mom enough for everything. We have made a mess of this race so many times. I just can't thank my sponsors enough throughout the years, and just everybody who stuck by me. All of my guys, all of my family and friends are here. It's incredible," said the Crittenden, Kentucky, racer, who is in his first full season of national touring racing. "Man, I just kept getting crowded off the corners. When you slide those guys, it's either hit 'em down the straightaway or slide them to let them know you are coming. Man, I'd get runs on those guys and I'd have to calm myself down. My car was not good, but when I hit it right, my car was really good. I just tried to stay focused, and I don't know how clean some of those sliders were on JD. I felt like I owed him one, and I got it back down in three. He apologized afterwards. I think a lot of JD. We've had a lot of good racing here recently," said the 28-year-old racer. Rice explained what went through his mind during the frenetic final laps of the race. "You have no idea how hard it is to be, like, the fans are paying attention. They're just crazy. When I slid him (Davenport) down here, I got all crossed up on the cushion and I cut down on him, and I probably figured he was aggravated about that. All the way down the back chute, I didn't know what to do, whether to slide myself, and I started to think about last night and how out of control I was getting to it. So I guess I will just enter it and prepare to cross, and my right-rear tire hit the cushion just perfectly and it launched me. I knew it was over before it was over, and I'm like, this is perfect. Got the best run that I could ever imagine." Davenport, who was seeking his third career North/South 100 victory, finished second, 0.574 seconds behind Rice. "I can't remember everything that happened. We took off pretty good there. I just hated it for all the guys that got taken out there in that wreck. It definitely changed the complexion of the race. The first time me and Josh got together, I really thought I left him just enough room and he jumped my right front. It was just a racing deal, and I knew he would probably be mad. I was coming back through there after I pitted. I started picking them off. I never could really run the cushion; I got to bouncing a couple of times. I just progressed back up through there and got by Josh again. I thought I was going to be okay, and I got by Devin (Moran) and I got a little excited. I guess we started to really roll through the middle, and I could catch the brown in three and four pretty good. I couldn't circle there and leave pretty good." Morey, who before this weekend had raced only once at Florence in his career, made his first North-South 100 start and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third after starting 19th. "Yeah, that was crazy. It was the first North-South for me. I had only been here one other time. I am telling you, it was crazy watching Rice and them go after it and the fans freaking out. I would have been thankful to battle for 20th. I never thought we'd be here standing on the frontstretch afterwards."

- Brandon Davis completes USMTS Show-Me Shootout sweep at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 8, 2026) - Brandon Davis completed a memorable weekend by completing a sweep Saturday night at the 17th annual Summit USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Davis, of Hayfield, Minn., took the lead away from Tanner Mullens on lap 30 and went on to win $5,000 prizes on back-to-back nghts at Lucas Oil Speedway. Moreover, it was Davis' fifth straight USMTS victory. "Heck no. I've never gotten five of these in one season," Davis said of his streak in victory lane. "I haven't raced with them as much, but these guys are good. This car is just really good right now." Other feature winners on the program were Robbe Ewing (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Rodney Schweizer (O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars). Davis started seventh and gradually worked his way toward the front as Mullens, of Wichita, Kan., set the pace. Mullens built the lead to 1.6 seconds by lap eight with Davis rallying into third by lap 17, three seconds behind the leader. Davis got around Stevens for second two laps later and began to slice into Mullens' margin. Mullens led Davis by 1.8 seconds at the halfway mark in a race that had remained caution-free. Davis continued to quickly gain and was within .420 seconds as caution flew on lap 25 for Gary Christian's spin. Wolff was running third with Jim Chisholm fourth and Stevens fifth. The restart saw Mullens retain the lead, but another caution appeared on lap 27 for 24th-running Ryan Murphy's spin in turn two. Wolff and Davis swapped second the next couple of leaps. Then it was Davis' turn to take his first lead, sliding around Mullens out of turn four on lap 30. That would be the winning move en route to his 16th career USMTS triumph. "Tanner was kind of moving around and defending and I thought I might catch him sleeping on the outside," Davis said. "I actually ended up getting on the bottom and then doing the slider. This thing is so good. It's crazy. "I came here here a couple of different times for some big shows and thought I was never going to get the job done. To get it done against these guys it's just surreal." Davis said his pursuit of a USMTS championship will continue with one car and one motor, plus a borrowed truck and hauler from a lifelong friend. "I don't know if I sealed my tire up or what," Mullen said. "But I don't think it would have mattered. He's a lot better than us right now. We just have to work on it and get better." Before he could clear to a lead of any margin, caution appeared again on lap 31, leading Davis nine laps to hold off Mullens, Wolff and fourth-place Rodney Sanders. With three cars battling for second after the restart, Davis quickly opened a 1.7-second lead - but that's when another caution slowed the field with five laps remaining. The additional restart didn't matter as Davis cruised once action resumed, beating Mullens by about 10 car lengths. Sanders finished third with Chisholm fourth and Jake Timm fifth after starting 22nd. "We're steady," Sanders said of his finish. "Congrats to Brandon. He's really good right now." There were 45 USMTS cars on hand for the second straight night. Nic Bidinger set fast qualifying time in Group A at 16.628 seconds with Tyler Wolff pacing Group B at 16.721. Ewing wires Late Model field: Robbe Ewing of Stockton led all 20 laps, but had to withstand a restart midway through the event, to earn the Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature. It was Ewing's second feature win of the season as he cut into division points leader JC Morton at the top of the standings. Ewing started on the pole and led the way, opening a half-second margin over Cole Henson when caution flew on lap nine. After action resumed, Ewing cleared away to a 1.2-second leader over Henson with Kaeden Cornell another second behind on lap 15. Ewing took it home from there, finishing two seconds in front of Henson with Cornell coming home in third. "I didn't know where anybody was at," Ewing said of his competitors. "I kept seeing some noses down here but just tried to stay as smooth and as clean as I could. The track crew did another great job tonight." Tyler went from ninth to fourth and Dustin Atkinson wound up fifth after starting 14th. B-Mod sweep completed by Sheets: Jon Sheets of Nevada, completed a Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod two-night sweep, leading all 20 laps for his fifth victory at the track this season and 10th win overall. "It's never easy," Sheets said. "We were lucky to get the lead early. Track position was a key tonight. We weren't uber good down through one and two, but three and four was so technical that you had to keep your car straight and catch that moisture on the way off. "I had one goal tonight and that was not make our guys work so. We had both ends knocked off last night I don't think anything tonight, so that's always a good night." Sheets rolled from the start by had a 1.1-second lead over Cayden Stacye midway through the 20-lapper. In a race without a caution after a lone yellow after lap one, Sheets prevailed by one second. Tyler Potter was third with Mike Striegel fourth and Colson Kirk fifth. Schweizer wins Stock Cars feature: Rodney Schweizer of Kansas City, Kan., took the lead on lap four and rolled to the O'Reilly's USRA Stocks cars victory, beating Friday night winner Jaylen Wettengel by 3.2 seconds. The fifth-starting Wettengel fell back to seventh early before rolling back into contention, taking over second by lap 10. While he was second-best this time, he was no match for Schweizer who found Lucas Oil Speedway victory lane for the first time this season. "He;'s always good here," Schweizer said of Wettengel.

- Mintz rebounds for Fremont 410 win; Sebetto nabs 6th 305 victory; Golembiewski tames trucks
FREMONT, Ohio - A few weeks ago Craig Mintz destroyed a car at Fremont Speedway Fueled by the FriendShip Kitchen. His team went to work and built a new car and it paid off Saturday, Aug. 8 on Fremont Federal Credit Union/S&S Hauling and Excavating Night. Mintz, a four time Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint Fremont track champion, took the lead on lap 21 from DJ Foos who had led form the drop of the green in the 30-lap affair. Foos didn't give up, racing side by side with Mintz for the next hand full of laps. Mintz was able to weave through lapped traffic to earn his 20th career victory at "The Track That Action Built." His brother-in-law Nate Dussel charged from 16th to finish second with Foos, Cap Henry and Bryce Lucius rounding out the top five. Henry's fourth place finish expands his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Henry is trying to secure his third straight and fifth series title. "This says a lot about my guys, Chris, my dad, Heather, Cruz, Chase….busted their butts to get us a race car together. Paul Kistler rebuilt us an engine so we came here with a fresh race car and fresh bullet but we didn't know what to do and what the car was going to do. It was pretty good tonight," said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Gill Construction, Grant Decker Construction, Bettsville American Legion, KS Sales and Service, Linder's Speed Equipment backed #09. Foos led the first 11 laps of the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main before sixth starter Bryan Sebetto took over in heavy lapped traffic. Sebetto drove away for his sixth win of the season at Fremont and his 10th overall of 2026. Foos, Steve Rando, Seth Schneider and Jamie Miller rounded out the top five. Sebetto's 34th career win at Fremont puts him into a tie for 15th on the all-time win list with hall of famer Al Franks. The win also boosts his lead in the Real Geese Decoys/Real Capz Attica Fremont Championship Series. "Nights like tonight it's not about horse power it's about getting the car locked down on the track. We tried another shock deal with Berryman Racing Shocks and it was flawless. We made some last minute changes right before I got into the car…further than we've ever went and it paid off. About the third lap in I trunked the wing and said just forget about the wing and just run the car. I could run top, middle or bottom. The car was perfect," said Sebetto beside his Coastal Cabinet and Flooring, Fremont Fence, Shelluke's Bar, Level Performance, Level Utilities, Nagy Equipment, Dockside Barbershop, Riehl Custom Fabrication, Cutting Edge Counter Tops, Schade Builder Supply, BSE Fabrication, Overwatch Precision, BRS, Race Ready Apparel, Recker Team Howard Hanna Real Estate backed #8. Toledo, Ohio's Dave "Gumby" Golembiewski took the lead from Kent Brewer on lap six and then battled with five time and defending track champion Shawn Valenti the last seven laps of the 20 lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature to secure his sixth career Fremont win. Valenti, Dustin Keegan, Keith Sorg and Steve Miller rounded out the top five in a very entertaining race. "Jamie Miller drove this thing to a win and now I got one. Ron Miller builds one hell of a truck," said Golembiewski. Fremont Speedway Fueled by the FriendShip Kitchen will be back in action Monday, Aug. 24 with the 305 Sprints and a special school bus race on the racing card to kick off the Sandusky County Fair.
