- 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. For more information on the Great Lakes Super Sprints, visit GreatLakesSuperSprints.com.

- Night of Destruction Returns to Perris Saturday - Brand-New E-Bike Will Be Given Away
Perris, California — July 21, 2026 — One month after attracting Perris Auto Speedway's largest crowd of 2026, Night of Destruction returns to the Riverside County speed plant this Saturday, July 25. Spectator gates for "The Craziest Show on Dirt" will open at 5:00 p.m., with the motorized mayhem beginning at 7:00. In addition to the wild Night of Destruction action, the evening will feature a kids' dance battle and T-shirt launches at intermission. Fans will also have opportunities to win four free tickets to any upcoming event at The PAS through the popular Heat Race Heroes contest. Also, every fan attending Saturday's event will receive a raffle ticket. One ticket will be drawn at intermission, and the lucky winner will leave the speedway with a brand-new GoTrax e-bike. "We are hoping to have another wild night and a big crowd on Saturday," promoter Don Kazarian said. "Just when you think the Night of Destruction cannot get any crazier, the drivers prove you wrong. The race last month saw wild, no-holds-barred crashes. The figure eight trailer race may have been the best one we ever had. In Demo Cross, we had one car get stuck on top of the crash wall." Recently, The PAS has been giving away bicycles at every race. This week, the promotion is being taken to the next level, with one fan winning a brand-new e-bike. "We had planned to give the e-bike away last Saturday at the micro sprint race," Kazarian said. "When we had to cancel that race, we decided to switch it up and give it away this week. It is a very nice bike and whoever wins it is going to be very happy." Fans are encouraged to arrive early to meet the drivers and collect autographs and candy on the track from 5:15 to 5:45 p.m. Heading into Saturday's event, Jesse Gordon, a respiratory therapist at Kaiser Permanente in Riverside, holds an 18-point lead over Whittier's Douglas Schattilly in the Figure 8 standings. In the Trailer Figure 8 division, defending champion Lane Hofarth of San Jacinto carries a 21-point advantage over Orange's Rob Multhaupt. Chino's Mike Brown, who drives the popular "Cops" SUV, owns a more comfortable lead in the Demo Cross championship standings. He is 33 points ahead of two-time champion Trebor Stephens, who also resides in San Jacinto. In the mini stocks, 2024 champion Steven Green Jr. leads Isaac Salazar of Mentone by 12 points before Saturday's race. In the zany double deckers, three-time defending champion Bug Ya' Later is tied with Hot Diggity Dodge for first place as the season enters its second half. In the Overall Iron Man chase, which combines points from all the classes, Hofarth has built a commanding 225-point lead over defending champion Multhaupt heading into Saturday's action. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:05 on Saturday. Adult tickets are $25.00. Students 13-18 with their school id will get in for $15.00. For kids 6-12 it is $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. For active military with proper ID, it is $5.00. Parking is $20.00 and the parking fee is by car only. Advance tickets for all PAS shows are available now at 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.

- 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.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to the Podium With Third-Place Finish at Perris
Chino Hills, CA — July 16, 2026 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. capped another successful night by driving his immaculate #51T to a third-place finish in last Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car main event at Perris Auto Speedway. For the popular driver, it was his third third-place result of the year and his sixth top-five finish in 10 starts. The Chino Hills, California, resident qualified sixth on the famous Riverside County clay oval. That placed him on the outside of the second row for his eight-lap heat race. With a top-five finish needed to advance into the pool for the main event inversion, Tafoya did exactly what was required and came home fourth. The combination of his strong qualifying effort and fourth-place heat race finish placed the 2018 PAS Young Gun champion on the outside of the front row for the main event. When the green flag dropped on the 30-lapper, the inside row jumped, and before Tafoya knew it, he had slipped back to fifth. By the end of the third circuit, he had worked his way back into fourth, where he appeared to be locked in for much of the race. At the halfway point, Tafoya trailed the third-place car by nearly half a straightaway. However, that was about to change. Tafoya refused to give up. Slowly but surely, he erased the deficit during the second half of the main event. In an impressive display of patience and driving ability, he tracked down the third-place car and completed the pass to earn the final spot on the podium. "It was a pretty good night," Tafoya told the crowd after the race. "Of course, all of us racers want more. I just gave up so many spots at the beginning. We were all ripping the top pretty fast. So it kind of took a mistake from someone to make up any ground." "I tried searching around, but everything was pretty even," he continued. I sat there trying to not make any mistakes and just kind of crept back in (into the top three)." Earlier in the evening, longtime infield announcer Chris Holt made a deal with Tafoya's mother: If her son finished in the top three, she could serve as his trophy girl. At the conclusion of the post-race interview, Holt invited her to step forward and join her son—something the driver, who had recently celebrated his 29th birthday, greatly appreciated. "It pretty awesome to have so much support from my parents," the happy driver said. "Two individuals who would do anything and give me anything I need in racing. It just makes it easier for me to do my job. We will be back in a few weeks and try to go two spots better." With the third-place result, Tafoya lowered his overall main event finishing average to 4.90 for the season. He also improved his average finish at Perris by half a point, lowering it to 4.50. Tafoya will head out on vacation at the end of the month but will return in time for the August 15 race at Perris Auto Speedway. Eddie Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at eddietafoya51.

- Hartmann basks in first win glow
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 21, 2026 - While enduring seven seasons of ups, downs, and everything in between, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team embraced a can-do attitude and steadfast dedication to a sport that is as tough as it is unforgiving. On Friday, July 17, everything fell into place as Hartmann drove his 87A machine to his first career A-main victory in the 30-lap Midwest Sprint Touring Series-Northern Outlaw Sprint Association Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings event at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. Hartmann headed into the night with fond memories of a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association event on July 19, 2024, during which he led 10 laps of the A main on the way to a then-career-best fourth-place showing. For the evening's qualifying-free racing format, which featured a deep field of 33 MSTS-NOSA competitors, Hartmann came out strong, storming up five spots from seventh to place second in the fourth 10-lap heat race. The Plymouth, Wis. driver's stellar heat race run gave him an outside front row starting spot in the six-lap dash. After placing second in the dash, Hartman launched from second in the 30-lap main event. After trailing Jack Croaker during the first three laps, Hartmann pounced to seize the lead on lap 4 and never looked back. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year endured a couple of caution and red flag periods over the final 26 laps to secure his maiden trip to victory lane. Hartmann opened the team's three-race Minnesota-North Dakota swing with a visit to Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn., where 28 cars checked in for a Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings Midwest Sprint Touring Series and Northern Outlaw Sprint Car Association co-sanctioned event at the 3/8-mile semi-banked dirt oval. The Plymouth, Wis. driver drew the pole position for the second heat race in the qualifying-free race format. Hartmann led all eight laps of the race on the way to his first heat race victory of the 2026 campaign, and a berth in the six-lap dash to set the front four rows of the 25-lap A main. After placing seventh in the dash, Hartmann lined up from the inside of the fourth row for the main event. The seventh-year Sprint Car competitor endured a handful of caution periods to post a 12th-place showing. On Saturday, July 18, Hartmann tallied a fifth-place heat race finish before ending up 23rd in the main event at Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minn., to close out the tripleheader MSTS-NOSA King of the Wings weekend. "Man, what a weekend!" Hartmann said. "It started off with two blown drive tires on the truck on the way to Ada, Minnesota, on Thursday. Friday night at River Cities really was a perfect night. Everything really went our way, and that's what it takes to win these races. At the start of that feature, I knew the inside was going to fire off better, so I tucked in and waited for my opportunity in traffic. "Running 10-second laps while in traffic is no joke," he said. "It was super tough to navigate where the guys were going, but we were able to move around to get by them. It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders Friday night after the checkers. You put so much into this sport, and it'll show you time and time again that it owes you nothing. I'm super happy I could park it for my team and family. Without them, this isn't possible. We'll let this one soak in and gear up for a doubleheader this weekend." The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is slated to venture to the western part of Wisconsin this weekend for a pair of events with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Sprint Car Series. On Friday, July 24, the team will compete at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., before traveling to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., for the prestigious $10,000-to-win Jerry Richert Memorial on Saturday, July 25. 87A Hartmann Racing 2026 sponsorship partners include Kristine Hartmann, Realtor of Pleasantview Realty, Shufflebotham Tree Service, The Dispensary, Double A Autobody, Quasius Construction, Holler n' Hills, High Speed TI, Metalcraft, Hepfner Racing Products, Berryman Racing Shocks, and Keizer Racing Wheels.

- Varin Victorious at Albany-Saratoga
By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | For the first time in 2026, and second time at Albany-Saratoga, Danny Varin was victorious on Friday with the Empire Super Sprints. The Fonda, NY driver spent the majority of the race in the top three, and took advantage of a late-race restart to get to the lead and pick up $2,000 for his efforts. Dylan Swiernik and Jason Barney led the field to green from the front row, with Swiernik taking the lead into turn one. Matt Tanner would immediately jump to second by utilizing the extreme high side of the speedway to get by Barney in turns one and two. Danny Varin settled into third, with Barney in fourth. At the front of the field, Swiernik and Tanner were running completely opposite lines, with Swiernik on the extreme bottom and Tanner on the extreme top. A caution on lap 6 for Kyle Smith bunched the field back up. On the ensuing restart, Swiernik again jumped to the lead, and Jason Barney Briefly claimed second via a slider in turn one, but was unable to hold pace and again fell to fourth. On lap 10, Tanner had a head of steam off the top side of turn four and was able to get by Swiernik to take the lead. Another caution with just 10 laps to go would set up a double file restart, with Tanner taking the lead briefly only for Swiernik to pass him using the same high line off four that afforded him the lead just a handful of laps prior. As the laps dwindled, the top four were battling hard , leading to contact between Barney and Swiernik, with Swiernik coming to a stop in turn two. On the restart with seven to go, it would be Danny Varin taking control of the field, after spending the majority of prior laps sitting in third. Tanner settled into second, with Jordan Poirier entering the top three. With a clear track in front of him, it was Varin who crossed the line first, for his first victory of 2026. "It was dicey - the track was technical tonight," said Varin in victory lane. "Im super happy for this team - we've been struggling since we went to this tire, we're just trying to work with it and do the best we can. It's hard to get a good feel for it but we will keep plugging away." Matt Tanner came home second after leading through the middle of the A-Main. "We didn't lead the laps we needed to there at the end, said Tanner. "But from where we were during speed week, we really struggled but we put our heads together and put a good package together for tonight." "It definitely paid off, we went quick time, won the heat and I was just pretty happy to run with Dylan, as fast as he's been." Jordan Poirier rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium with a third-place finish. "Every yellow I could play with my shock a little bit, try to get my car a little bit better," said Poirier. "We were just a tiny bit too loose in the beginning of the race, but after that every yellow we got better and better. Sixth to third in these conditions, I will take it." With 23 cars, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Thomas, Matt Tanner and Jason Barney. Elab Smokers Boutique heat races were won by Jordan Thomas, Matt Tanner and Jason Barney, while Shawn Donath won the Donath Motor Worx / We Know Tools - Paul Wehnau SnapOn dash.

- Williams Grove World Of Outlaws Summer Nationals Will End July
Mechanicsburg -The C & D Rigging World of Outlaws Summer Nationals are set for Friday and Saturday, July 31 and August 1 at Williams Grove Speedway. And for those keeping track, that's just two weeks away! The C & D Rigging Summer Nationals will find the most famous rivalry in all of sprint car racing again taking center stage as the outlaws invade Williams Grove to do battle with the local Pennsylvania Posse drivers. When the outlaws first hit town this season back in May, Williams Grove fans watched as Kasey Kahne and David Gravel drove to victory. Posse fans counted Friday's win as one for the home team in May as Kahne was piloting the Macri Motorsports No. 39M, subbing for an injured Anthony Macri. This time around Macri is back in the saddle and back to his winning ways at the Grove and over the outlaws in general as he just triumphed in the Kings Royal at Eldora, Ohio, for the second year in a row on Saturday night. Though not a Grove winner yet this year, oval regular Chase Dietz has cemented himself as the winningest driver in the country to date this season. On the road, Gravel has continued to win and will enter the Summer Nationals as the outlaws series point leader with seven wins under his belt while Buddy Kofoid owns nine while sitting second in points. The Summer Nationals Friday main event on July 31 will be 25-laps in distance and pay $12,000 to win. Saturday's main event will go 30-laps for $20,000 to win. Both nights of Summer Nationals action fell victim to weather last season. C & D Rigging of Grantville is a full service rigging and millwrighting company. C & D Rigging offers custom millwrighting and mechanical erection of machinery and heavy equipment with over 150 years of collective experience.

- Shane Hopkins surges to first SCCT win on Saturday at Placerville Speedway
Placerville, CA…Placerville's own Shane Hopkins withstood numerous restarts to record his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway. The 2018 SCCT Rookie of the Year piloted the familiar High Sierra Industries No. 21 mount en route to his fourth career triumph on the red clay. His win came during the second round of Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. The 30-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event was plagued by numerous yellow and red flag periods during the Gold Pan Rampage presented by Marshall. Things got off to a rough start with Cole Croft getting upside down in turn one. He eventually climbed out of the No. 29 machine and was fortunately okay after the nasty tumble. The feature never got into a groove but during all the mayhem Hopkins remained calm, cool and collected up front. He executed each restart to perfection and eventually went on to grab the Ed Entz checkered flag for the $4,000 score. Auburn's Andy Forsberg started from eighth and made several veteran moves to take over third by lap 16 and then second with 22 circuits complete. He crossed the stripe in second to cap a solid run in the finale. Colby Copeland put together a strong run in the feature to carve his way from 14th to third by the conclusion. El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte and Modesto's Tony Gomes rounded out the top five. Gomes had charged from 11th to second at one point but dropped off the edge and lost positions with eight laps remaining. Nick Parker, Carson Hammes, Steel Powell, Camden Robustelli and Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Stephen Ingraham completed the top 10. Bubba Decaires captured the B-main, while Steel Powell claimed the High Sierra Industries Dash. Heat race wins went to Nick Parker, Shane Hopkins and Braden Chiaramonte. Landon Henry earned Fast Time to begin the evening, topping a 28-car field with a lap of 10.486 around the quarter mile.

- Thornton Takes First Career Silver Dollar Nationals Win at Shelby County
HARLAN, IA (July 18, 2026) - Ricky Thornton Jr. won the 16th Annual Al Belt Custom Homes Silver Dollar Nationals on Saturday night at Shelby County Speedway, leading all 80 laps to become the 12th different driver to win the crown jewel event. Thornton, a Chandler, Arizona, native who now resides in Indianola, Iowa, earned $52,000 for the victory in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event. Jonathan Davenport, the only three-time winner in the event's history, which began in 2011, gained two positions after the race's lone caution with 70 laps complete. Davenport, who was running fourth before the yellow, passed both Brian Shirley and Bobby Pierce to earn the runner-up finish and $53,000. Pierce, who entered the event having won 12 of his previous 14 feature starts, ran second for 71 laps before Davenport slipped past him late, relegating him to third at the finish. Shirley finished fourth, while championship points leader and Thursday night's Go 50 winner Brandon Sheppard completed the top five. In Wieland Victory Lane for the 60th time in his career and the fourth time this season, Thornton joined an elite group of Silver Dollar Nationals champions. "At the start I didn't know whether I needed to be on the bottom or the top. I felt like that first lap I moved out in three and four and I was like, 'Man, that didn't feel very good.' I ran about four or five laps there, tried it again, and I don't know if they were going in too hard above the cushion. It was weird because it was really fluffed up there, so I backed down and just rode around. Then we got to lapped traffic and I felt like I really wanted to move up and try to blow by those cars." "I was trying to get myself clear of Hoffman and McCreadie. I stayed beside them for what felt like 50 laps, and I figured the top wasn't any better, so I just kept rolling around the bottom. Hats off to everyone at Koehler Motorsports. It's a little sigh of relief because I feel like we got our old selves back. I love coming to this place, and thanks to all of the fans for coming out. It's pretty awesome to win this since I'm only an hour and a half away." Davenport, who started ninth, quickly climbed to third before settling into fourth for much of the race. He passed Pierce and Shirley late to secure second. "The track just went away. We could never get it packed in under green. I floated out there a few times and just slid. Before that caution came out I went all the way to the top because we're not running for points, so I was going to try something. I thought Bobby might try the top on the restart, and if that happened it would give Shirley clean air on the bottom. Then maybe I could roll the middle just right and get a run on him. It kind of worked out, just not exactly the way I drew it up." Pierce, the 2019 Silver Dollar Nationals winner, rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. "I looked at the scoreboard and thought we were almost done because the race went by so fast. Congratulations to Ricky. He drove a heck of a race and did a great job getting through lapped traffic. I didn't have anything for him. The last time we were here it was a barnburner, so we set up for that. We made a couple of changes I didn't really like, but now I think we know a little better for next year." "I thought the top was going to be fast for a long time, but once they dropped the green the bottom was the preferred lane and the top just turned to crumbs. It caught a lot of us by surprise. I thought the track crew did everything right, and just like with a race car, you take notes for next time. I'm sure we'll get another barnburner next year." The winning Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis was powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Knight's Companies, Hoker Trucking, Capital Waste, Coltman Farms Racing, Certified Inspection Services, Strange Oval, Sunoco Race Fuels, Elite Ready Mix, D&E Outside Service, and SI Towing and Recovery. Completing the top 10 were Devin Moran, Hudson O'Neal, Max Blair, Clay Stuckey, and Ryan Gustin.

- Cox hangs on for Challenge Cup Round 3 Late Model win at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 18, 2026) - Tucker Cox parked it in victory lane in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Round 3 of the Pitts Homes and Realty Challenge Cup. It wasn't easy, even though Cox officially led all 20 laps. The Jefferson City driver earned his first feature win of the season, holding off multiple slider attempts from Robbe Ewing over the final four laps. "It was a really good race and the car was really good tonight," said Cox, who earned $1,000 for the victory. Cox started on the pole and set the early pace, leading Ewing and Matt Becker, with eighth-starting Cole Henson moving into fourth by lap four. Following a lap-six caution, Kaeden Cornell advanced into second after starting seventh. As the laps clicked by, Cox kept extending his lead and was 2.5 seconds in front of of Ewing by lap 14 with Cornell third and Henson fourth. But Cox saw his big lead wiped out with a lap-16 caution. Ewing rode the high groove to pull alongside Cox twice in the final laps, but Cox hung on to win by .151 seconds or one car length. "On that last restart I could hear him out there. On the front straightaway I could hear him, wide open going into one," Cox said of Ewing, who twice momentarily took the lead, only for Cox to cross back over before the start-finish line, Cornell was third with Bryon Allison fourth and Becker fifth. A total of 113 cars checked into the pits for the five classes, which will have 10 points races between April 10th and Aug. 29 with a number of other events to be run as non-points events. All 10 Challenge Cup events for each series will have elevated nightly purses. Year-end points payouts also will be boosted. Other feature winners on a night with several close finishes included Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Cole Campbell (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Mike Striegel (Hickamo Super Stocks) and Jaylen Wettengel (O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars). Modifieds win to Campbell is close finish: Cole Campbell of Mexico, Mo., held off Wyatt Gaggero by a few feet to earn the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified feature win. Chase Sigg led by just under one second in the early after starting on row one with Jason Pursley second and Campbell third. Two laps later, Campbell was back into second with Dean Wille up to third. Caution on lap nine bunched the field one circuit shy of the halfway mark, taking away Sigg's 1.3-second lead. Campbell used a big run on the restart to take the lead on lap 10 and he quickly opened a 1.5-second command - until caution flew again on lap 13. This time it was Sigg's turn to recapture the lead, sliding past Campbell out of turn four. The top two kept dueling with Shane Hartline and Wyatt Gaggero right behind as the laps dwindled. Campbell and Gaggero both slid high going for the win on the turn and Campbell held on by a few feet - officially .057 seconds - for his first Lucas Oil Speedway win of the season. "We honestly weren't very good at all," Campbell said of his fence-scraping triumph. "I just put it on the fence and drove the heck out out it. I can't thank my guys enough." Sigg settled for third with Hartline fourth and Nic Bidinger fifth. Sheets takes B-Mod victory: Division points leader Jon Sheets of Nevada drove to his third feature win of the season in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, leading all 20 laps and overcoming a late caution. Sheets opened a 3.1-second lead over Jackson by lap 10, opening a big gap as Jackson, J.T. Carroll and Tim Karrick battled it our for second. On his way to seemingly a sure victory became more precarious for Sheets when a lap-16 caution wiped out a lead of 3.2 seconds with Jackson running in second. Jackson fell out of contention with a mechanical issue after the restart and Sheets drove away. Sheets beat Karrick by 2.2 seconds with Cayden Stacye third, Carroll fourth and Waylon Dimmitt fifth. "We've been struggling the last couple of weeks and we worked hard on it," Sheets said. "Looking at our times after the heat races, we were about a half-second off. We worked hard and ... we had a hot rod. I think everybody knows I like a track like that. It's pretty technical up there." Striegel earns Super Stocks triumph: Mike Striegel posted a victory on his hometown crack, taking over on lap 12 and going on to beat Terry Schultz in decisive fashion in the Hickamo Super Stocks feature. Schultz led the first four laps and, just as Fennewald was taking over the lead, caution, flew for a multi-car incident on the other end of the speedway. That saved Schultz's lead as order reverted to the last completed lap. Mike Striegel joined the battle up front as Schultz continued to lead nearly halfway in the 20-lapper. Striegel pulled alongside Schultz several laps in a row but was unable to make the pass - until lap 12. Striegel made an inside pass out of turn four for the first lead change of the race. He gradually pulled away from there and went on to beat Schultz by 2.8 seconds with Fennewald another second behind in third. "This place owes me that one," Striegel said. "I've been robbed a couple of times and I got to them lapped cars and I'm like 'Lord, please, no again.' "I dedicate this race to my good friend Scott Campbell," Striegel added, in tribute to the long-time southwest Missouri Modified racer who died earlier this month. J.T. Carroll was fourth with Donnie Miller fifth. Wettengel hands on for Stock Cars win: Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., held off William Garner in a race that came down to the final turn, claiming the O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars feature. Wettengel blazed to the early lead from his front-row starting position as William Garner and Rodney Schweizer gave chase. Two caution flags later, Wettengel held a .694-second over Garner, who was beginning to cut a gap that once was more than a second. Wettengel capped the drive with a clean restart and he held on to beat Garner by just .105 seconds as the runner-up made a dive to in the inside coming out of turn four. "It was fun. The track was phenomenal," Wettengel said. "I needed the confidence boost, to get a win here for the first time since last year at the (USRA) Nationals. It was a good car and a good race." Schweitzer was third with Bryan White fourth and Dawson Fennewald fifth.
