SUPER SOUTHERN SERIES

About Super Cup Stock Car Series It is with great excitement that we announce the formation of the highly anticipated SuperCup Stock Car Series (SCSCS).  This series will feature former Hooter's ProCup Steel bodied stock cars that competed from 2001-2006.  The new series recently competed in two exhibition races in 2007 at both Hickory Motor Speedway and Tri-County Motor Speedway in NC.  Both races were very competitive and featured a glimpse of the anticipated competition in 2008.

 

Coeburn, Virginia (May 4, 2026) – Harvey Harrison, Brent Nelson, Damian Payton, Chrissy Wallace – only in alphabetical order by last name because any of these four talented Super Cup Stock Car Series drivers had a realistic shot to win from the first green flag until the final checkered flag on Saturday night at Lonesome Pine Raceway.

 

There were lots of questions about what to expect with all the immaculate offseason upgrades by track owner Joey Owens and team to the Coeburn, Virginia facility, and the first one was answered in qualifying.  With her father Mike arriving in time to watch, Wallace set a new series track record in the No. 19 Dan Althoff Trucking / JDH Engineering / J4 Truss / The Also-Ran Broadcast / MW Pressure Washing / D2 Motorsports Chevrolet getting around the recently repaved 3/8-mile oval in 16.482 seconds.  In fact, Nelson, Payton, and Harrison were under the mark of 16.792 set by 2009 champion Tyler Nuckles back in that season.

 

The decision was made to start the field straight up from qualifying and immediately everyone was going hard with each of the front four recording their best lap time within the first eight laps.  At no time during the entire 30-lap distance were the leaders separated by more than three seconds in a race that went without a single yellow flag.  With 10 circuits remaining, only a tick over one second separated them and for multiple consecutive times at the stripe each ran nearly identical lap times.

 

Nevertheless, Wallace was able to lead wire to wire for her second consecutive win in 2026 and extend her margin of victory to 0.319 seconds when positions changed behind her in the closing stages.  It was by no means clear sailing, with the Concord, North Carolina resident having to keep several details in mind.

 

“Brent was coming flying, and then next thing you know thankfully he and Damian got in a little bit of a battle and I felt like that gave me the leeway I needed,” Wallace described.  “We were having a little bit of problems with our motor, bogging down coming off the corner.  Racing against the guys that are here, they are very good competitors, they’re all fast, and they race you clean and hard.”

 

Nelson was quick off the corners and on Wallace’s tail for the majority of the race; however, pushed up the track in the turn on a handful of occasions.  That allowed Payton, the first race winner at Shenandoah, to work his way inside Nelson for second and then Harrison a few laps later for third.

 

“We held our own in the first race, kind of slowly catching her at the end,” Payton indicated.  “I needed probably 10 more laps there.”

 

“Everybody was doing a good job and there was a time there you could maybe throw a blanket over all four of us,” Harrison recapped.  “We closed back up toward the end and it got pretty exciting.  The car wasn’t quite turning real good in the middle.  I noticed some other drivers doing the same thing.”

 

The lead lap finishers were inverted for the second main event, putting Nelson’s No. 80 Precision Auto Collision / JEBCO / RAM Trucking / QH Design / Nelson Motorsports Chevrolet out front despite being the odd man out from the post-race frontstretch interviews among the contenders.

 

It would be quite the fight right from the get-go as Harrison in his No. 35 John 3:16 Ford was relentless on the high side early on, leading by less than a bumper a couple times in the opening laps.  Behind them, Payton and Wallace dueled side by side making it a two-by-two formation for the first third of the distance.

 

Ultimately, Nelson cleared the Renick, West Virginia three-time Lonesome Pine winner, which slightly after allowed Wallace and Payton to follow by.  It looked to be all Nelson from there, but not so fast.  With less than 10 to go, the Summit Point, West Virginia racer found a way by Wallace for the runner-up position.  Payton then went on to record his best lap time of the race on four occurrences, including coming to the white flag.  Time though ran out and it was just over a quarter of a second victory for Nelson, his first since the conclusion of 2024 at Lonesome Pine.

 

“This was huge for us,” the Petersburg, West Virginia 2024 series champion commented.  “Last year we struggled getting the other car to work and our goal this year is to come back out and get back to where we were running good.  I knew what the car needed.  I was just off a little bit in the first race and we made wholesale changes to it and it woke up.”

 

Nelson continued to recount the challenges that he was given over the course of another caution-free race, yet again remembering battles from years back with his Renick, West Virginia friend.

 

“Harvey is a good competitor, love racing with him side by side.  I’m going to race him hard and he’s going to race me hard.  Then Damian came on there at the end and I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, but we were giving it our all.”

 

Although Payton’s record at this track now includes three runner-up performances, he was quite enthusiastic and complimentary about the evening’s quality of racing.

 

“That was probably the most fun I’ve ever had behind the wheel of a race car,” the driver of the No. 64 Fauquier Stitch Studio / Donovan Asphalt Paving / Total Stormwater Solutions LLC / Blue Ridge Seafood Restaurant / McElligott Performance & Design / Payton Racing Chevrolet said.  “Probably also the hardest I’ve ever driven a race car.  I needed like two more laps and that would have done a lot for us, but I can’t complain.”

 

“To be that evenly matched with some of the greatest drivers you could ask for, it was a great night.”

 

Wallace remarkably had her worst result of the year so far, only a third.

 

“Harvey and Brent, those two battled so long that I think Damian and I were wearing out our own stuff having our own race for third,” Wallace explained.  “All of a sudden at the same time our motor issues came back and, I don’t know if anybody could tell as red as our brakes were, we lost our brakes about lap 19 or 20.  I could have pushed the issue but I didn’t want to take a chance or opportunity of wrecking any of the cars out here.”

 

“Overall, I think it should be somewhat of a decent points night for us with leading that whole first race, so happy with that.”

 

Indeed, it was, as Wallace increased her lead to a still tight 25 advantage.  Nelson works his way within 10 of Payton, while Harrison remains only a total of 60 points behind Wallace.

 

It continues to be anybody’s race and championship to win heading into the next one at Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 16th with little room for error and additional factors in play with some drivers making their 2026 debut as expected early entrants.  The historic Newton, North Carolina track is where the Super Cup Stock Car Series all started with an exhibition event in 2007 and the return there will feature one 60-lap main event with double points on the line.

Statesville, North Carolina (May 13, 2026) – After more than a decade, the Super Cup Stock Car Series goes back to where it all started.  With expenses escalating across other touring series at the time, a lower-cost option came together and on October 13, 2007, Hickory Motor Speedway was chosen for a 50-lap trophy dash exhibition that was won by local racer Dexter Canipe Jr.

 

The 2008, 2010, and 2011 season champions were crowned at the historic 0.363-mile oval, but a checkered flag has not flown for the series composed of 3,300-pound, 600 horsepower “Gen 4” style stock cars at the track since then.  That will change this Saturday with a 60-lap main event, the longest race distance since twin races at Dominion in 2022.

 

Also on the line are double points being awarded, which will be important for the top four in the standings currently separated by only 60 points altogether but also allowing for any who missed both or one of the opening events at Shenandoah and Lonesome Pine to catch up further.

 

Those expected include the season debut of Ben Ebeling, the winningest driver in SCSCS history whose shop is only a few minutes away in Newton, North Carolina.  The 2021 series champion has participated previously in the annual Bobby Isaac Memorial for Late Models at Hickory as well as in Super Trucks and has past wins in Street Stocks.  Several of Ebeling’s current and past team members will be in their own cars and trucks during the local division features that follow on Saturday evening.

 

Scheduled to make the longest tow is Michigan’s Richard Hauck, a veteran of the ARCA Racing Series surfacing for the first time since 2023.  “ShoTime” Mike from nearby Denver, North Carolina comes out of “retirement” after his wins at West Virginia’s Ona Speedway in summer 2025 in a new machine to him that will be familiar to short track racing fans of these types of cars from a little earlier in the millennium.

 

The driver with the most success is a two-time winner already in 2026 and leads the standings coming into this event.  Chrissy Wallace went to the prior two venues without a lap of on-track experience and has not raced a Super Cup car at Hickory, but at this facility she was the first woman to win in a Late Model the number of years ago that matches her current car number – 19.

 

“Out of the whole schedule Hickory, Tri-County, and Carteret are the three that I’ve been really looking forward to,” the Concord, North Carolina competitor, who could become the second woman to win a SCSCS race at the track after Megan Reitenour made it happen in 2008, indicated.  “We’re going back to the playbooks, working on this motor and car, and hopefully we’ll give it all and win that race there.”

 

Not only will Chrissy be representing the D2 Motorsports campaign of cars.  Her father Mike Wallace, with more than 800 starts and nine wins across the three NASCAR national series, will make his series debut in the 19w.  The St. Louis, Missouri native was a 1990 Winston Racing Series regional champion and ran six races at Hickory in that decade with what was then the Busch Series.

 

Another winner this year has not taken a green flag before at the “Birthplace of NASCAR Stars” but, in addition to being on a crew for a friend and fellow racer in weekly competition Zack Wells that has assisted him as well, has been on the Hickory surface at speed back when it was not on the schedule and was permitted to shake down his ride for the first time.

 

“I’m excited for it,” Damian Payton, who now resides only about an hour out in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, confidently said.  “We tested there at the beginning of last year with this car, so I’m familiar.  I’ve turned a few laps there.  I know it’s got its own characteristics that set it apart from anything else.”

 

Harvey Harrison is a two-time champion who made his first series start at Hickory during its inaugural season and is looking forward to coming back to the storied venue.

 

“I’ve had some good luck there and I’ve had some bad nights there too, but that’s a fun track,” the Renick, West Virginia driver with a third-place finish at the facility in 2010 commented.  “It’s got a lot of history to it and we just can’t wait.”

 

Additional expertise in Harvey’s corner will be his son Brian Harrison, who also has past knowledge navigating the 14-degree banked turns in turns one and two as well as the 12-degree banked third and fourth corners, previously with two top five finishes and winning a “first-time winners” exhibition in 2011 when behind the wheel.

 

The most recent winner in the series has two prior appearances at Hickory toward the beginning of his longstanding career but is searching for his first top 10 finish there.

 

“All I remember is coming off turn four you better be pointed toward the flag stand,” Brent Nelson, from Petersburg, West Virginia and ranked second in all-time wins with a total of 26 victories, recalled.  “It’s a rough and bumpy track, wore out, we’re going to be slipping and sliding, and it’ll be fun.”

 

Running the car that Nelson competed in during those early years will be Hickory first-timer Larry Frame.  Dylan Godinez lives just down the road in Conover, North Carolina and looks to put together an impressive performance following a pair of fifth place showings to begin 2026 at Shenandoah last month with some of his coworkers planned to be in attendance from his day job at Front Row Motorsports in nearby Mooresville.

 

One more series champion intending to be there is Midland, Virginia’s JJ Pack.  The seven-time winner made his series debut at Hickory in 2010 where he led 45 laps right out of the box and ultimately finished sixth.

 

The track is available for practice throughout the week by the hour for all competitors and an early optional practice is offered at $100 per car from 10:00 a.m. through 1:00 p.m.

 

The first of two official practice sessions for the SCSCS is scheduled to take place at 2:30 p.m. with qualifying kicking off for all divisions at 5:00 p.m. and racing beginning at 7:00 p.m.  The 60-lap double points main event will be first on the docket.  Anyone out of town and unable to make the trip, the entire Saturday evening program at Hickory Motor Speedway is streamed live for FloRacing subscribers.

 

Grandstands open at 4:45 p.m. and spectators will be admitted for $14 with teens, seniors, and military for $12, and kids 12 and under admitted free.

Frontrunners from Season Opener Provide Thoughts Toward Revitalized Lonesome Pine Visit

 

  

Statesville, North Carolina (April 29, 2026) – The Super Cup Stock Car Series spring string of events moves to another 3/8-mile oval with a rather distinct story.  Lonesome Pine Raceway has undergone a substantial makeover over the winter months that has competitors looking forward to what the Coeburn, Virginia facility can offer come Saturday, May 2nd.

 

Numerous projects have included a new scoreboard, sound system, fresh paint, existing structure repairs, LED lights as well as new concession stand, tech building, and restrooms in the infield.  What racers are more than likely looking to the most though is the fresh pave, not only in the pits but across the entire track surface.

 

Two drivers that contended for victory two weeks back at Shenandoah Speedway competed at Lonesome Pine during the 2025 running and offered their initial thoughts and potential expectations.

 

“Looking forward to seeing what changed about that place,” Damian Payton, who began the 2026 season with his second career SCSCS win, indicated.  “I can imagine we are going to be running faster times.  Hoping that the grip is equal, previously they had repaved the corners and the straightaways looked like original asphalt.  You’d hit the straightaway and the tires would start spinning, so it will be interesting to see what the difference is.”

 

The driver from Summit Point, West Virginia and now residing in Winston-Salem, North Carolina is looking for his second career SCSCS Pole Award as well where the current series track record was set way back in 2009 by the champion that year, Tyler Nuckles, with a time of 16.792 seconds.  A few of the lighter-weighing Late Models were under 16 seconds during qualifying for their opener last month so records could for sure get broken.

 

Petersburg, West Virginia’s Brent Nelson has two past poles and wins at Lonesome Pine.  He conquered the Pole Award at Shenandoah and will be looking for more while finding a balance this weekend.

 

“I think it’s going to have a whole lot more grip,” the 2024 series champion predicted.  “I run a nine-inch rear end and I’m very selective with what gears I’ve got to be able to put into it.  If I go too far one way it’s going to be way too much.  We’ll just have to see what we can come up with.”

 

Chrissy Wallace is the most recent race winner this season and shortly after claiming the second Shenandoah trophy and early points lead immediately looked ahead to Lonesome Pine, remarking it “looks like a killer fast track.”  She has never been there before, but the Concord, North Carolina third-generation driver will be one of the favorites after her performances to start off the year.

 

At least one more former race and pole winner as well as two-time title earner will be on hand, driving the car that won last year’s race when eventual champion Mitch Gibson was behind the wheel.

 

“We’re excited about it,” Renick, West Virginia’s Harvey Harrison said.  “This car is different to me and I’m getting more used to it.  It’s a lot like my car (that won both races at the track in 2023), had to move the seat and everything in it and that really made a big difference (at Shenandoah).  A little bit of fine tuning and we should be good at Lonesome Pine.”

 

There will certainly be more drivers in the mix, such as the SCSCS debut for 2025 Limited Late Model track champion Nathaniel Owens, when the pit gates open on Saturday morning. Spectators will be admitted beginning at 4:00 p.m. for $15 with students $10, and kids seven and under admitted free.  VIP seating upgrades with climate-controlled tower offering food and drinks will be available as well.

 

Qualifying begins for divisions in competition at 4:30 p.m. and a “juice box” race for kids taking place prior to opening ceremonies and the start of races at 7:00 p.m.  To accommodate a huge agenda on the evening program that includes seven local classes, Super Cup Stock Car Series twin main events will be 30 or 35 laps in distance each, depending upon turnout.
