BUCKEYE BACK-TO-BACK: Haudenschild Rolls from Row Five to Sharon Victory Lane

The KCP Racing pilot takes the No. 18 from 10th to his second straight home state win

tyler carr

HARTFORD, OH (October 10, 2026) - Weekends don’t get much more special than the one Sheldon Haudenschild just had.

The Wooster, OH native grew Sheldon Haudenschild’s NOS Energy Drink Buckeye Brawl to three rounds for 2026, sending the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series to a trio of Ohio ovals.

After Millstream Speedway opened the action Thursday, the tour returned to Mansfield Speedway on Friday for the first time in 45 years. The result? Haudenschild took the KCP Racing No. 18 to Victory Lane. That moment was special enough to make his entire weekend, but he wasn’t done there.

Saturday’s finale set the stage at Hartford, OH’s Sharon Speedway and served up another $18,000 winner’s share. A tall task was ahead as Haudenschild lined up back in 10th for the 30-lap finale, but he was more than up for it.

Haudenschild rolled the bottom masterfully toward the front. He picked off some of the best Sprint Car drivers in the world one by one. The 33-year-old moved into second on the 20th circuit. Five laps later, he rolled by Logan Schuchart to take the top spot. The field stood no chance as that point as Haudenschild pulled away in the closing laps to a nearly three-second margin of victory to bring his home state fans to their feet for the second straight night.

“Hats off to (Kyle) Ripper, Adam (Clark), and Dauson (Heitritter),” Haudenschild said. “That car was so good. If I lost that race, I was going to be pretty mad at myself. I was so good. I didn’t know if that restart was a good thing or a bad thing. I kind of feel like I had the 1S guessing a little bit. Not much else to say. Like Ripper said, that was a good Ohio ass kicking these last two nights.”

The 11th win of 2026 equals Haudenschild with David Gravel for the second most this season. The 57th of his career moves him just one behind Jason Meyers for 17th all-time. Seven of those 57 have come in his home state of Ohio, making it responsible for 12% of them. It’s the second time this season he’s topped two races in a row to go along with he pulled off the feat at Cedar Lake Speedway and Hartford Speedway in the summer.

Logan Schuchart finished runner-up after leading the most laps aboard his special Federated Auto Parts “Chomping for the Cure” paint scheme on the Shark Racing No. 1S. That gave the Hanover, PA native 11 podiums this season.

Rounding out the top three was David Gravel and the Big Game Motorsports crew for their 31st podium of the campaign.

Garet Williamson and Donny Schatz completed the top five.

HOME STATE HERO: Haudenschild Drives to Emotional Mansfield Victory

The “Buckeye” helps bring the World of Outlaws back to Mansfield and goes to Victory Lane for the 10th time in 2026

tyler carr

MANSFIELD, OH (October 9, 2026) - Sheldon Haudenschild holds home close to his heart.

The 33-year-old is from Wooster, OH and still lives in the area to this day. He’s amassed legions of fans all across the country during his tenure with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, but the Haudenschild shirts show up nowhere more than the “Buckeye State.”

Friday was a special day for Haudenschild before a car even hit the track as his NOS Energy Drink Buckeye Brawl Weekend brought the tour back to Mansfield Speedway for the first time in 45 years. Matt Tifft and his team revived Mansfield, and Haudenschild helped bring The Greatest Show on Dirt back to town in the track’s comeback season. Throw in a standing room only crowd, and this was guaranteed to be a great evening no matter the outcome for Haudenschild.

But those were only the opening pages of this story that couldn’t be scripted better in fiction. The punctuation came Friday night when Haudenschild brought the packed house to their feet. He wheeled the KCP Racing No. 18 by Nate Dussel on Lap 18 and set sail. Donny Schatz jumped into the runner-up spot late, but even the 10-time Series champion couldn’t halt Haudenschild on this night. He took the checkered flag, and the roar in the stands could be heard over in Wooster.

“This race, it was like I’m just enjoying it no matter what, win or lose,” Haudenschild said. “To see these fans show up, that’s what means the most. It’s just the cherry on top to be able to win this race. Thankful for Matt Tifft, the Outlaws, Lauren (Albano) at NOS Energy Drink for putting this whole thing on. It was just a pretty quick deal of throwing it out there, and they made it happen really fast. Man, I don’t think you could ask for a better racetrack.”

It was also a special night on the statistical side for Haudenschild as Friday gave him 10 wins this season, marking the first time he’s reached double digits during a campaign. He’s the third different driver to hit 10 this season, joining Michael “Buddy” Kofoid (15 wins) and David Gravel (11 wins). The career victory tally now sits at 56 for Haudenschild, two away from tying Jason Meyers for 17th all-time.

Donny Schatz came home second in the CJB Motorsports No. 15 to notch his third podium in the last six races as the Fargo, ND native continues to build late season momentum during his 30th year on tour.

Carson Macedo ripped the tricky cushion up to the third position aboard the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41.

David Gravel and Emerson Axsom completed the top five.

NIGHTLY NOTES

Kofoid Dominates Millstream’s Buckeye Brawl Opener

The season’s winningest driver adds another to his tally with a strong performance in Ohio

tyler carr

FINDLAY, OH (October 8, 2026) - Michael “Buddy” Kofoid hit the entire field with a knockout punch Thursday night.

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series rolled into Findlay, OH’s Millstream Speedway to kickoff Sheldon Haudenschild’s NOS Energy Drink Buckeye Brawl Weekend. A stout field of 39 cars checked in, and Kofoid put a beatdown on them all in the Roth Motorsports No. 83.

The Penngrove, CA native rocketed out to the early advantage after starting on the pole for the 30-lapper. David Gravel settled into second and began to regain some ground on Kofoid as lapped traffic became a factor.

But late caution flags continued to clear the path ahead for Kofoid by giving him clean air. Garet Williamson ripped by Gravel late for second, but he also couldn’t pose a threat to Kofoid as the laps faded away. Kofoid took the checkered flag with more than a second advantage to claim round one of the three-round brawl.

“That whole race I could keep the car wherever I wanted it to be,” Kofoid said. “If I needed to pull out of line, I could do something good with it. It’s just a testament to how talented Dylan (Buswell) is as well as Nate (Knotts), and Peyton (Friedrich). They do an extremely good job. I’m very thankful to have them in my corner.”

Kofoid added to his Series-leading win total in 2026 with his 15th of the campaign. That also moved he and the Roth Motorsports crew one checkered flag away from making team history. If they can pick up one more before the season is over, they’ll equal the winningest World of Outlaws campaign in the long history of Dennis and Teresa’s famed team. The 24-year-old took sole possession of 23rd on the all-time win list with his 37th career score.

Garet Williamson finishes runner-up in the Fischer Motorsports No. 23 to get back on the podium for the first time in roughly a month, his 11th top three of the year.

David Gravel posted yet another solid finish with a third-place effort aboard the Big Game Motorsports No. 2. That’s 30 podiums in 2026 for the two-time and defending champion.

Spencer Bayston and Parker Price-Miller rounded out the top five.

POSSE POWER: Dietz’s Dream Season Continues with Williams Grove National Open Title

The York, PA native fends off Donny Schatz after Bill Balog’s misfortune for his biggest win of a magical season

 

tyler carr

MECHANICSBURG, PA (October 3, 2026) - Don’t pinch Chase Dietz. He doesn’t want to wake up from his dream 2026 season.

The York, PA native entered Williams Grove Speedway’s 64th J&S Classics National Open boasting a nation-leading 23 wins this year in 410 Sprint Car competition. But the trip to Victory Lane that came Saturday night was bigger than all the others.

The National Open is the race every Pennsylvanian grows up dreaming of winning. It’s the height of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, PA Posse rivalry. It’s more than six decades of history. It’s an unmatched atmosphere as fans flock to pack the historic 1/2 mile every fall. It’s beating the toughest field the “Keystone State” sees all year. And that’s exactly what Dietz and his Stehman Motorsports team did.

Huge heartbreak for Bill Balog helped pave the path to victory for Dietz. The “North Pole Nightmare” led the opening eight laps before an issue on the No. 17B caused him to slow from the lead. That gifted the top spot to Dietz, but the job was far from over as he had 32 laps to go and six-time National Open champion Donny Schatz in second.

Schatz stalked Dietz as the laps clicked away trying to find a way to reel him in as they navigated traffic. The CJB Motorsports No. 15 found a little speed on the bottom of Turns 3 and 4 as the checkered flag neared. He threw one final move in the final set of corners, but it wasn’t enough as Dietz stayed ahead and rolled to the finish line and brought the Posse fans to their feet. He did it. He’s forever a National Open champion.

“It’s incredible what we’ve been able to accomplish this year,” an emotional Dietz said. “To add this to it is amazing. I think I checked off every goal I wanted this year. I couldn’t do it without these guys. This is a dream come true. It seems like everything we thought about this year and what I thought about I wanted we were able to get. It takes a hell of a lot of work. It’s taken a long time to get to this point; I can tell you that right now. I got destroyed by these guys night after night for so long, even locally. You just have to keep at it.”

Dietz becomes the 37th different National Open champion through 64 runnings. He gave the Pennsylvania Posse bragging rights once again in the crown jewel after two consecutive World of Outlaws representatives winning with Carson Macedo (2024) and Sheldon Haudenschild (2025) coming out on top. The score came with a healthy $75,000 paycheck. Dietz is the ninth different multi-time winner with the tour in 2026 thanks to Saturday’s checkered flag and the one he earned in July at BAPS Motor Speedway.

Donny Schatz fell just one spot shy of a record-extending seventh National Open title. The Fargo, ND native has now finished runner-up five times to go along with his six triumphs.

“He (Dietz) had a torrid pace and did everything right there,” Schatz said. “It was all going to come down to what I did, and it was going to happen in (Turns) 3 and 4 there. I moved down and come across the bottom there and kind of let the car chalk up and go. We started to catch him there a little bit. Had I done that five or six laps sooner, maybe we’d be standing up there, but it is what it is.”

The final spot on the podium belonged to Justin Peck and Rudeen Racing for the second night in a row.

“Our race car was just really good all weekend,” Peck said. “We really didn’t change anything going into the start of the night. We felt like our package was pretty good when we were in clean air.”

David Gravel and Daryn Pittman completed the top five.

RETURN TO FORM: Gravel Gets Back to Victory Lane in National Open Prelim

The two-time champ slips by Whittall in traffic to snap an 18-race winless streak

tyler carr

 

MECHANICSBURG, PA (October 2, 2026) - The drought is over for the champion.

The last two months haven’t been ideal for David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports. Sure, they’ve consistently racked up top 10 finishes and maintained a solid point lead, but this crew is accustomed to winning and winning often.

They rolled into Williams Grove Speedway’s J&S Classics National Open on an 18-race winless streak. Oddly enough, their last victory came at none other than Williams Grove, and the historic 1/2 mile ended the slump on Friday night.

Gravel fired off on the pole for the 25-lap Feature, but it was Justin Whittall sneaking by in the opening set of corners to take command early. The two-time and defending champion didn’t get rattled. He stalked the Rod Gross Motorsports No. 67G as they neared traffic and capitalized when the door opened. Whittall couldn’t clear a slider on a lapped car and lost momentum, allowing Gravel to drive by down the front straightaway. Anthony Macri worked his way into second but couldn’t erase Gravel’s gap as the No. 2 motored to Victory Lane.

“It was just kind of roles reversed from the Dash,” Gravel explained. “He (Whittall) started on the pole, and I was able crossover and get in front of him. He did the same thing to me there in the Feature. At that point, I just had to get in line and try to build some speed up and try not to lose second. When we got to lapped traffic, I knew that would be my time to pounce. Once he got somewhat close to lapped traffic, he started stalling out. The dirty air definitely affected his race car. Then he got over the cushion once off of (Turn) 4, and I was able to get the lead that way.”

Gravel’s first win in two months is his 11th of the season and the 130th of his career with the World of Outlaws. A dozen of those have come at Williams Grove for the Watertown, CT native. He padded his lead atop the standings to 128 markers over Michael “Buddy” Kofoid. The victory also secured bragging rights for the World of Outlaws over the PA Posse in 2026 as the scoreboard now shows a 5-2 advantage for the traveling talent, an insurmountable lead with only one battle remaining.

Anthony Macri showed no signs of rust in his second race back from an injury by bringing the Macri Motorsports No. 39M home runner-up. He’ll look to give the PA Posse the National Open title on Saturday.

Rounding out the podium was Justin Peck in the Rudeen Racing No. 26, his best World of Outlaws result at the Mechanicsburg, PA oval.

Buddy Kofoid and Chase Dietz rounded out the top five.

Sheldon Haudenschild’s Homecoming Sends World of Outlaws to Three Ohio Ovals 

tyler carr

FINDLAY, OH (October 6, 2026) - Sheldon Haudenschild cares deeply for his Ohio roots and continuing the state’s rich Sprint Car racing tradition.

The Wooster, OH native’s passion will be on display this weekend as he’s bringing the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series to his home state for a tripleheader at three different racetracks. Sheldon Haudenschild’s NOS Energy Drink Buckeye Brawl Weekend sets the stage for a big trip to the “Buckeye State.” All three races will dish out $18,000 to the winner, a nod to Haudenschild’s car number with KCP Racing.

The brawl begins at Findlay, OH’s Millstream Speedway on Thursday, Oct. 8. The tour returned last year for the first time since 1994 and is back for a second consecutive season.

Round two takes The Greatest Show on Dirt to Mansfield Speedway on Friday, Oct. 9. Matt Tift and his team revived the historic track and are ready to welcome the World of Outlaws for the first time in 45 years.

The “Buckeye State” showcase is finalized on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Hartford, OH’s Sharon Speedway as the World of Outlaws makes its 16th stop at the northeast Ohio facility.

Let’s look at the top stories to watch this week:

HAUD’S HOMECOMING

The KCP Racing pit area will be busy all three nights this week.

Sheldon Haudenschild has amassed one of the most passionate followings in the sport, and it’s felt nowhere more than when he comes home. The Ohio fans watched his dad Jac Haudenschild ride the Haud Line to 72 World of Outlaws victories and many more accolades, and they’ve watched Sheldon follow in his footsteps in carving out his own legacy. He’s up to 55 career wins with nine of them coming this year, his first campaign with the KCP team.

Haudenschild would love nothing more than to add to that total this week. He’s won before at Millstream, topping a 2016 All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC) visit. Friday will mark his debut at Mansfield. He bagged a Sharon trophy with ASCoC in 2015 at the Lou Blaney Memorial. In World of Outlaws competition, he’s finished on the podium in four of his six tries.

THREE-PEAT WITHIN REACH

David Gravel is closing in on history.

A rough stretch in California for the two-time opened the door for Michael “Buddy” Kofoid’s championship hopes, but Gravel did his best to shut it as the scene shifted east. A win and a fourth at Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open upped his point lead to 142 with just 10 races remaining. If he can hold on, he’ll join Steve Kinser, Donny Schatz, and Brad Sweet as only the fourth driver to ever claim three consecutive titles.

Don’t expect Gravel to stumble on Thursday as he enters Millstream as the defending winner at the Findlay, OH track. The Watertown, CT will make his first Mansfield laps the next night. He and Big Game Motorsports have been stellar at Sharon with a 2.8 average finish in six tries, highlighted by a 2024 triumph.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

A trio of California-born World of Outlaws competitors (Buddy Kofoid, Carson Macedo, and Cole Macedo) consider Ohio a home away from home and look forward to any swing through the state. All three are united in the Linder family providing them a place to stay as they expanded their racing careers eastward.

Kofoid sits second in the standings heading to Ohio during his third tour with Roth Motorsports. His Millstream debut a year ago resulted in a runner-up finish. The time with the Linders led him to making one prior appearance at Mansfield, a fourth-place effort in 2019. He’s made four Sharon appearances, peaking at second last year.

Carson Macedo resides fourth in points, a manageable 32 markers back of Sheldon Haudenschild for third. His three trips to Millstream yielded a best finish of ninth last year in the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41. The Lemoore, CA native owns more Mansfield experience than most of his fellow World of Outlaws drivers with five starts leading to three podiums, including a 2018 Sprint Car World Championship prelim score. None of Macedo’s 10 Sharon Feature starts have resulted in a win, but he’s been on the podium on four occasions.

Cole Macedo’s sophomore World of Outlaws season sees him sitting eighth in the standings, which would mark a two-spot improvement over his rookie campaign if he can stay there. He took the TwoC Racing ride from 14th to seventh at Millstream last year. He’ll get his first look at Mansfield Saturday. Last year in his seventh Sharon appearance, the 26-year-old started on the pole and finished a solid sixth.

DOGFIGHT FOR EIGHTH

And speaking of Cole Macedo, he leads the most hotly contested battle in the points. Spots eight through 12 are separated by only 120 markers. The point fund and exclusivity bonus pay $70,000 more to finish eighth over 12th, so the five drivers in this fight will be scratching and clawing for every point they can get.

Behind Macedo, next in line is Spencer Bayston as his first year with Stenhouse Jr./Marshall Racing winds down. He won the season opener and has piled up 32 top 10s. He trails Macedo by 62.

Then it’s leading Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year presented by Five Star Bodies contender Emerson Axsom 16 markers back of Bayston. Axsom and the Klaasmeyer/Petry Motorsports team have found some speed over the last couple months with 13 top 10s in 17 races, highlighted by Axsom’s first World of Outlaws win at Huset’s Speedway.

Only two points behind Axsom is Bill Balog. The “North Pole Nightmare” has dealt with several cases of bad luck recently, but his speed over that time suggests it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if the No. 17B breaks through into Victory Lane soon.

Rounding out the group is Series sophomore Chris Windom with 40 markers separating him from Balog. He got his first career victory in August at I-55 and picked up a pair of podiums last month in the Sides Motorsports No. 7S.

BUCKEYE BRAWLERS

The World of Outlaws will have a group of talented “Buckeyes” ready to brawl this week with hopes of battling the best of the best for wins on the sport’s biggest stage.

Dale Blaney may only show up at Sharon, but he’s likely to make the most of that appearance. Last year he wheeled his brother Dave’s No. 10 to an extremely popular win at their home track, becoming the oldest victor in Series history at 61 years old.

Bradner, OH’s Nate Dussel has won at both Mansfield and Sharon this year. He’s topped a pair of FAST races at Mansfield and beat the ASCoC at Sharon in August.

Bellevue, OH’s Cap Henry is always one to watch when the World of Outlaws roll into his local region. He’s won nine 410 Sprint Car races in 2026, including Mansfield’s season opener in May.

These three will be joined by plenty more local gassers looking to impress under the bright lights.

ADAPTING AND WINNING: Joe Mooney on Macri Motorsports’ 2026 Entering National Open

tyler carr

MECHANICSBURG, PA (October 1, 2026) - The 2026 season for Macri Motorsports will be one for the record books.

Injuries have derailed a stellar year twice for Anthony Macri. This week, he’s returned to driving duties again and just in time to represent the Pennsylvania Posse at the 64th J&S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway on Oct. 2-3.

While Macri may have missed time, two things have remained constant throughout the pair of stretches: winning and Joe Mooney’s leadership as crew chief.

Macri, Mooney, and the entire team came out of the gates hot to start 2026. A pair of top fives and a win at Volusia Speedway Park in February resulted in a Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals Big Gator with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. They came back down to Florida a few weeks later and grabbed another checkered flag during the Bike Week Jamboree.

An early April injury removed Macri from the seat for nearly three months, but he picked up right where he left off in late June. Macri returned and promptly won half of Pennsylvania Speedweek’s eight races. Three weeks later, the Dillsburg, PA driver became only the second driver ever to top back-to-back Kings Royals at Eldora Speedway. A crash in August at Knoxville Raceway forced Macri to miss more time behind the wheel before his comeback this week.

During Macri’s absence, Mooney opted to keep the operation active by putting two different drivers behind the wheel.

“This year, knowing that he was going to be out 12 weeks, I didn’t want to sit out that long,” Mooney said. “It’s nice to have a break every now and then and not be racing every week, but the Outlaws were coming to town, and I knew how tough it was to sit through the National Open last year.”

The Macri Motorsports crew brought Kasey Kahne aboard to run a handful of races while Macri was first sidelined. The result? The Enumclaw, WA native picked up his first career World of Outlaws victory in only their third night teamed up at Williams Grove Speedway. Kahne’s Series debut came all the way back in 1997, and nearly three decades later Mooney helped lead him to Victory Lane. Overall, they tallied six top 10s in nine starts together.

“I had spoken to him after Anthony had gotten hurt, nothing about it, but I know how much he lives for Sprint Car racing,” Mooney recalled. “He and KKR (Kasey Kahne Racing) were down on engines as a whole, and it was kind of holding him out. He also didn’t really have a crew. He had kind of sacrificed his crew and maybe some of his engine programs for the 4 to have the 9 car running. In my mind, it was a guy with a lot of talent, a guy that’s done a lot for me in the past, and a guy that was going to respect equipment and still give us a fair shot to run well.”

That was far from Mooney’s first connection with Kahne. Mooney linked with Kasey Kahne Racing in 2019 as a car chief for Brad Sweet in the No. 49. The “Big Cat” went on to win the first of five consecutive championships that year, and Mooney was there for the first four before departing for Macri’s operation. That made Kahne’s Williams Grove triumph all the more special for Mooney. A moment to partially return the favor to a man who played a major role in his development and encouraged him to advance his career even if it meant leaving the team.

“It was awesome,” Mooney said of helping Kahne get his first win with The Greatest Show on Dirt. “Kasey was a big proponent of me coming to Macri. Honestly, I let it be known to him that last season there that I was with Brad that my goal was to be a crew chief, whether at KKR or elsewhere. He knew that I was kind of exploring some opportunities, and we talked about me possibly staying at KKR and switching to a crew chief role with him. But when he found out I had the opportunity to come work with Anthony, he was my biggest advocate. He was like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to go. That’s a great opportunity with a great young driver and a team with great equipment.’”

Macri’s August injury led to James McFadden filling the seat of the No. 39M for four races. This also signaled a reunion as Mooney and McFadden crossed paths at KKR even though they were with different cars. The punctuation of the two uniting was “J-Mac” charging from 11th to victory at Port Royal Speedway’s Tuscarora 50 for a $59,000 payday.

“James is another guy that I had a great relationship with,” Mooney said. “We weren’t on the same car at KKR, but we shared a lot of years there together and had a great relationship and were buddies off the track. We came close to possibly working together before I left KKR to go to Macri, but things just didn’t line up. We were good buddies and like minds, and I think it all just made sense. It was kind of a perfect storm. I mean, obviously not something that we wanted to happen with Anthony getting hurt, but it just made sense that the Tarlton car didn’t have any big races that week, and he was still in the country.”

Macri returned to the seat this week for a local race on Wednesday at Lincoln Speedway and didn’t take long to shake the rust. He didn’t qualify up to his usual standards but charged from ninth up to second in the 35-lap Feature.

The focus is now entirely on this weekend’s J&S Classics National Open. It’s Pennsylvania’s crown jewel. It’s lacking from both Macri and Mooney’s résumés. Macri already looks sharp again. It’s time to roll the No. 39M into Williams Grove and see if they can add one more trophy to a wild but unforgettable 2026.

“It’s a top four race on our list every year no matter the circumstances,” Mooney said of the National Open. “So, we’re just going to go out there and give it everything we got and see how it shakes out.”

orld of Outlaws, PA Posse Rivalry Reaches Peak with 64th Williams Grove National Open

tyler carr

MECHANICSBURG, PA (September 29, 2026) - The biggest week in Sprint Car racing’s fiercest rivalry is here.

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series is making the long haul from California to Pennsylvania, where the PA Posse are battening down the hatches.

The final battle of the year between the two sides shines the spotlight on Mechanicsburg, PA’s Williams Grove Speedway for the 64th running of the J&S Classics National Open. The action opens on Friday, Oct. 2, before Saturday’s finale serves up major bragging rights and $75,000 to the winner.

The World of Outlaws and PA Posse have been squaring off for decades in the fall at the iconic 1/2 mile. The more pages added to the history books, the more the intensity grows. The next chapter is about to be written. It’s time for the National Open.

Let’s look at the top stories to watch this weekend at Williams Grove:

SCHATZ’S SIX PACK

When it comes to the National Open, Donny Schatz has been breaking Beerhill Gang hearts for years.

It began in 2000 when Schatz topped the event during only his fourth year on tour. He went on to add five more (2004, 2005, 2007, 2012, and 2020) and holds the record for the most wins in the famed event with six. That mark could be much higher considering he’s also finished second on four occasions and third three times.

The 10-time Series champion heads to Pennsylvania in search of a record-extending seventh National Open. This year will be his first try since joining forces with the PA-based CJB Motorsports. The combination is fresh off a Bakersfield victory in California. They’ve struggled a bit at Williams Grove this year with a best result of 10th through four tries.

OUTLAW THREE-PEAT

There are bragging rights to hold on to for the World of Outlaws, having walked away with the big check the last two years.

Rewind to 2024 when Carson Macedo collected his second National Open title with Jason Johnson Racing. This year offers Macedo the chance to become the seventh driver with a trio of triumphs in the crown jewel.

Sheldon Haudenschild took the glory in 2025 by making a late pass on Bill Balog to win the 63rd running. That was with Stenhouse Jr./Marshall Racing, and he’ll look to become the 14th different multi-time victor aboard the KCP Racing No. 18 this week.

Those two will have fellow former National Open champion for the World of Outlaws, David Gravel, joining them. He first claimed the crown jewel in 2014 with Roth Motorsports and returned to Victory Lane in 2017 with CJB Motorsports.

In addition to going for a three-peat, the World of Outlaws is also looking to lock up season-long bragging rights in the rivalry with the Posse. The 2026 scoreboard currently reads 4-2 with The Greatest Show on Dirt holding the advantage.

NEW NATTY O THREATS

Former winners may headline the World of Outlaws roster, but a few more members of the traveling talent can’t be overlooked as they search for their first National Open triumph.

Michael “Buddy” Kofoid certainly stands out among those looking to add their name to the history books. The Penngrove, CA native boasts a pair of checkered flags at “The Grove,” including one earlier this year in July. His best National Open finish through three tries is fifth last year.

He may be from Hanover, PA, but Logan Schuchart is a certified World of Outlaws representative as he navigates his 13th consecutive year on tour. The history of his home region is important to him, and he’d love nothing more than to join the list of National Open champions. He’s been close with a trio of podiums, including a runner-up in 2021.

Bill Balog came so close to securing the Williams Grove crown jewel a year ago. The “North Pole Nightmare” led the most laps before Sheldon Haudenschild slipped by in the final circuits. He’ll be hungry for redemption following 2025’s runner-up.

LEADING THE POSSE

The PA Posse may present many capable competitors, but there’s no doubt that Chase Dietz leads the charge into the National Open.

It’s been nothing short of a dream season for the York, PA native and the Stehman Motorsports crew. They’ve won a nation-leading 22 410 Sprint Car races in 2026. One of those came against the World of Outlaws in July at BAPS. They also picked up a stout $50,019 payday at Lincoln’s Steve Smith Tribute Race. Outside of winning, Dietz traveled off the porch and qualified for both the Kings Royal and Knoxville Nationals, posting a top 10 in the latter.

A National Open would no doubt top Dietz’s extensive list of wins this year. His first World of Outlaws trophy came courtesy of opening night of the National Open last year. That’s one of eight career Williams Grove victories for Dietz, and three of those have come this season.

PA PRIDE

Expect plenty more potent Pennsylvanians to join Dietz in the quest to defend the porch and bank Saturday’s stout payday.

Anthony Macri is expected to return to action after a crash at Knoxville in August left him sidelined with injuries. It should come as no surprise if the “Concrete King” knocks off the rust fast and is a contender. The Dillsburg, PA native a 16-time Feature winner at Williams Grove.

Fayetteville, PA’s Lance Dewease is always among those to watch at the Mechanicsburg, PA 1/2 mile. His 118 wins there are by far and away the most of all-time. Five of those came at the National Open, so the chance to equal Donny Schatz for the most lies ahead aboard the Rich Eichelberger No. 8 this weekend for Dewease.

Danny Dietrich eyes a second National Open 10 years after earning his first. The Gettysburg, PA native owns 36 career Williams Grove victories (tied for 11th most), and two of those came this year in the Gary Kauffman Racing No. 48.

Owasso, OK’s Daryn Pittman may not officially be Posse, but there’s no doubt PA will claim him should he win this weekend considering his ride. The 2013 World of Outlaws champ is set to wheel the famed Kreitz Racing No. 69K. Pittman took the powder blue machine to a runner-up three years ago, his sixth second-place finish in the crown jewel.

These four will be joined by many more hoping to make Pennsylvania proud including Troy Wagaman Jr. (Hanover, PA), Freddie Rahmer (Salfordville, PA), Brock Zearfoss (Jonestown, PA), Cameron Smith (Spring Grove, PA), T.J. Stutts (Liverpool, PA), and Dylan Norris (Hanover, PA).

It then went national in 1993 and has become the premier 360 Sprint Car Series in the country, while still sanctioning nine regional series that include 360 Sprint Cars, 410 Sprint Cars and Non-Wing Sprint Cars.

OKLAHOMA TAKEOVER: Blake Hahn Snags Second ASCS Victory in 2026 at RPM Speedway

 Emily Schwanke
CRANDALL, TX (October 10, 2026) — Oklahoma ruled the Dallas metroplex on Saturday.

While the Sooners reigned on the football gridiron in the afternoon, Blake Hahn closed the night with his second American Sprint Car Series win of 2026 at Crandall, TX’s RPM Speedway.

The Sapulpa, OK native started the night from sixth as John Carney II and Kyler Johnson led the field to the green flag. On the start, multi-time ASCS Sooner Region champion Sean McClelland caught the bottom of the two drivers to take the lead while Sam Hafertepe Jr. and Matt Covington took over second and third place, respectively.

When the first caution flew on Lap 7, it gave the field a chance to chase down McClelland’s No. 1 on the restart.

While McClelland held the two National Tour title contenders at bay through the first two laps after the restart, he made a critical mistake in Turns 3-4 when he hopped through the cushion. Hafertepe reached the inside of McClelland on the exit, but Covington sliced through the middle of the two drivers across the frontstretch to become the newest leader.

As Covington led, Hafertepe held on to the runner-up spot as Hahn took third from McClelland on Lap 10. When the halfway signal was shown, the leaders became logjammed with lapped traffic surrounding each line of the 1/4-mile bullring.

Hahn found a line of driving high into the corners, then dipped to the bottom to gain pace on the straightaways. He used the line to help him get around Hafertepe for the runner-up spot on Lap 16 while Covington attempted to manage a 1.5-second lead in the pack of lappers.

While Covington kept his No. 95 Triple X Chassis around the bottom, Hahn adjusted to the middle lane and continued to inch closer with his No. 52 machine. With six laps remaining, the Glenpool, OK pilot struggled through Turns 3-4 while Hahn capitalized on the slip by pulling to the inside of the leader and gaining clearance across the frontstretch.

Through the remaining five circuits, Hahn wheeled to his 27th career ASCS National Tour win and his 16th with the Sooner Region. He enjoyed the win with his grandfather and Series founder, Emmett Hahn, who celebrated his 86th birthday.

“This chassis was dialed in tonight,” Hahn said. “We made a few changes throughout the night after every race, but man, this thing was a rocket tonight. The track got a little rough there, but this thing just rolled right through it. It was unbelievable. Haven’t really been able to do a lot of racing here lately, and this was the first night on this car. So, to be able to come out and have a run like that was awesome and we’re super stoked.”

Covington finished second while Seth Bergman charged around Hafertepe in the final laps to take the last podium position. Carney finished fourth, and Hafertepe took fifth.

Leaving the penultimate weekend, Hafertepe continues to lead the standings by 21 points over Covington as the final event to determine the 2026 ASCS National Tour champion awaits.

Quick Time Award: Sean McClelland 13.087

Seth Bergman Carries Zero Pressure in Hunt for Second ASCS National Championship

 

 
CRANDALL, TX (October 9, 2026) — Seth Bergman has nothing

Emily Schwanke

 to lose and everything to gain. 

Sitting 118 points from the top of the American Sprint Car Series points standings with three races remaining, the 2024 champion knows the work ahead of him in the three-driver fight. Despite the stakes, the work isn’t adding stress to the veteran. 

“Right now, the position we’re in, we’ve got nothing to lose,” Bergman said. “Two years ago, when we led all year, there was a lot more pressure then, and there’s more to think about when you’re the guy on the top. I feel like you got to be careful, a little bit cautious, and think more when you’re in that spot. 

“Our goal is to win, and we’re in a position where we’re behind. The pressure is going out trying to make sure our cars and things are performing like they need to. We have the pace, and for me, it’s being precise and doing what I need to do. We just need three solid nights where we can try to win, not let Sam or Matt capitalize, and really, there’s not a lot of pressure in that because we’re chasing them.” 

The Snohomish, WA native has endured a year that includes four Series wins while battling unseasoned woes that hurt his championship hopes towards the end of the campaign. Still, he is determined to stay in the conversation with Sam Hafertepe Jr. and Matt Covington after Saturday night at RPM Speedway. 

When the ASCS National Tour visited the Crandall, TX track for the first time in 2024, Bergman took his No. 23 machine to Victory Lane as he drove to the year’s points crown. He’ll use the past laps and the time around the mid-south tracks in the season to stay at the top from the start. 

“It’s a place that’s been good to us for a while,” Bergman said. “We had a really good 1/4-mile package, and we fudged it up a few times this year. But we’re rolling in there with a good game plan, and I feel like if we’re right on it, it should be a good opportunity for us to chalk up a win. It’s really simple; the mentality is to go in there and maximize everything we can through these last three races.” 

The National Tour and ASCS Sooner Region will close the year with a return to Creek County Speedway for the Fuzzy’s Fall Fling on Oct. 16-17. After picking up two top-fives and three top-10s in three races at the Sapulpa, OK track in June between ASCS and POWRi, Bergman expects similar track conditions in the fall as in the summer. 

“Right now, here in Tulsa, it’s been almost 90 degrees every day,” Bergman said. “So if that trend continues into next week, I don't think you'll see too much of a difference. I know at night it's going to cool down a little bit, so if anything, you might see a little bit more grip in the track. But I expect to see a really racey Creek. We're going to have moisture in the track, but I think it's going to be slick as well. I think the racing will be similar; it'd just be a little more enjoyable with some cooler temps.” 

While Creek County marks the starting point of a 109-day wait until Sprint Cars roar back to life at Volusia Speedway Park for the 57th Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, the veteran’s offseason work has already begun. 

Bergman continues to review the good and bad from the year to see where he can improve and what areas he can toy with before Sprint Cars roar back to life in February. 

“Our offseason has been in the works for a couple months already,” Bergman said. “Because the time off is so short now, our downtime here has us doing a lot of our offseason work to get things lined up and prepared. When we run at Creek and go home, we can get right into the work and be ahead of schedule. 

“It’s more so about learning what held us back this year. We’re coming up with plans on how to fix those areas that we felt like were hurting us. Then also trying to build a stronger team, like we want to be an elite team no matter what we do or where we go. That comes down to having the right personnel, making sure cars and the engine program are where they need to be, getting parts in order, then having the goals in mind for the offseason that will set us up in a good position for next year.” 

Bergman will go after his second Emmett Hahn Trophy in the final three races of the 2026 season with RPM on Saturday, Oct. 10, and Creek County on Friday-Saturday, Oct. 16-17. The ASCS Sooner Region will join the National Tour to determine its newest champion.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: RPM Speedway Awaits as Penultimate Weekend for ASCS National Tour, Sooner Region

 
 Everything is bigger in Texas. 
RPM Speedway Awaits as Penultimate Weekend for ASCS National Tour, Sooner Region
 
CRANDALL, TX (October 6, 2026) — Everything is bigger in Texas. 

The stakes for the American Sprint Car Series championship intensify as a visit to Crandall, TX’s RPM Speedway on Saturday, Oct. 10 marks the final weekend before the 2026 trail comes to a close at Creek County Speedway on Friday-Saturday, Oct. 16-17. Between the two weekends, the ASCS Sooner Region will join the Series to close their year. 

RPM returns to the schedule for the first time since 2024, with 30 laps around the 1/4-mile bullring rewarding a $4,000 payday to the night’s victor and vital points to log before Creek County. Grandstand tickets will be available at the track on race day.

Here’s a look at the top storylines: 

Longhorn vs. Sooner - College football will not be the only sport to host a stateline brawl in the Dallas metroplex on Saturday as the ASCS National Tour gets closer to deciding the 2026 title between a representative from each state. 

Sunnyvale, TX veteran Sam Hafertepe Jr. leads Glenpool, OK’s Matt Covington by 38 points heading into the second-to-last Saturday night Feature of the season. While Covington has more Heat wins and top-10 finishes, Hafertepe leads in Feature wins (six to Covington’s two) and has more top-fives, with 17 to Covington’s 15. 

The Series visited the track once in 2024 for a doubleheader weekend, with Seth Bergman winning the opening night and Hafertepe taking the final Feature. Covington’s best finish at RPM was a fifth-place result from the 2024 finale. 

Last Chance - Since an early turnaround in February, Seth Bergman has been on the heels of earning his second ASCS National Tour title throughout the 2026 season. 

The Snohomish, WA native earned four wins, 13 top-fives, and 18 top-10s in the year to keep his Oklahoma Chillers No. 23 within the podium of the Series standings. His hopes for the Emmett Hahn Trophy turned sideways at the last Series event at Moberly Motorsports Park after he finished 15th in the 25-lap Feature. 

Bergman needs a substantial points gain at RPM to slim a 118-point gap to Hafertepe for the lead. Bergman won the debut visit for the Series at RPM en route to the year’s championship. 

Sooner Shootout - Multiple drivers in the Sooner Region take a step closer alongside the National Tour in the final three events to crown the region’s king. 

Bonnerdale, AR’s Bradley Fezard leads 2024 champion Casey Wills by 50 points in his quest for a first title. Both drivers are hunting a first win in the 2026 season at RPM. 

Among the top five sitting within double digits of Fezard are Hayden Mabe (66 points), Steven Shebester (74 points), and Whit Gastineau (90 points). The trip to RPM will be the first time since 2010 that the Sooner Region has logged laps around the 1/2-mile bullring. 

Final Shakeup - While Hafertepe, Covington, and Bergman battle for the Emmett Hahn Trophy, the top-10 in National Tour standings have three opportunities to move upwards before season’s end. 

While Austyn Gossel chases a 77-point gap to Ryder Laplante for fifth, Series rookie Cole Schroeder is 19 points away from passing the Fort Collins, CO native for sixth. Sophomore Brogan Carder sits 27 points back, and Terry Easum follows in ninth, 35 markers behind. 

From Easum to Gossel, it’s an 81-point bubble that can make a $4,000 difference in the season-ending points fund. Though they will focus on the points gain at RPM, three of the four drivers will close the year with a career-high Series points finish.

Jett Barnes Catching Fire with ASCS in 2026, Gaining Support from Jason Meyers Racing

Emily Schwanke

 

CONCORD, NC (October 2, 2026) - Jett Barnes is not your average 15-year-old. 

Since turning his first laps in a Sprint Car in 2025, the Visalia, CA, native has stamped his place in the discipline with a standout showing through his first four events on a national stage with the American Sprint Car Series. 

Backed by two-time World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series champion and car owner Jason Meyers, Barnes has used the new challenges to build his confidence in unfamiliar territory. 

The Barnes and Meyers families crossed paths before Jett was asked to pilot the No. 14 Sprint Car. When Jason was in the market to buy a dirt kart for his son, he bought it from Nick Barnes, Jett’s father, as the families stayed connected through Jason’s racetrack, Plaza Park Speedway. 

“I met Jett about probably seven years ago now,” Meyers said. “I was looking for a cage kart for my son, who is 11 now, and at the time, Jett was young, winning everything and moving up classes. I actually met his dad, Nick, and bought the cage kart from him.  

“I watched (Jett) roll into Micros with my involvement in Plaza Park, and Jett spent some time working with Jake Hagopian, who is my partner in the track. Actually, Jake’s dad, Mark, was my mentor when I was racing Micros when I was younger, so it all kind of came together organically.” 

Beginning the year with his first Saturday A-Main appearance in his rookie Chili Bowl Nationals presented by NOS Energy Drink, among the field of 406 drivers that took a keen eye on Barnes was fellow “Golden State” native Corey Day. With Day’s endorsement, Meyers brought the teenager aboard for select races along the West Coast. 

“I got to give credit to Corey,” Meyers said. “Corey came back from the Chili Bowl, and he’s like, ‘We need to put Jett in the car.’ Like, he was that adamant that we need to do this, so we started talking, met with Jett and Nick, and we did a trial at the beginning of the year. We said, ‘No obligations, let’s run some races and let’s see how this goes.’” 

“After Chili Bowl, I didn’t know if I was gonna have a Sprint Car ride for this year,” Barnes said. “It was definitely nerve-racking, but when Jason gave me the call, it was definitely exciting. From Chili Bowl to now, I feel like I’ve made a lot of improvements. My racing ability is better; I’m faster in Qualifying, and I feel like it’s been a lot better.” 

While he’s focused on duties in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, Day is an active member of the Meyers squad through working with Jett the week and into race day. 

“He calls me pretty much before every race,” Barnes said. “He gives me the rundown on how the tracks are probably going to be throughout the night because he's been to quite a bit of them. He definitely helps in a lot of areas. It's funny, my first 410 race, I guess I was lifting a little too early, and he kept calling me a baby, so it kind of made me want to drive a little harder and just do my best.” 

“This is probably Corey’s first role really as a mentor,” Meyers said. “To see him taking what he’s learning on the NASCAR level and applying it to the Sprint Car side as well as his mentorship to Jett. I’m really proud of the team in general. It's been pretty seamless. Things like this can go well, but it can also be hard. It's been a lot of effort by everybody to make sure we had the proper things in place."

When the ASCS National Tour traveled to Montana to commence Frontier Speedweek between Big Sky Speedway and Sheridan Speedway, Barnes was unloaded and prepared to face the country’s top 360 Sprint Car drivers for the first time. 

Through the three-race stretch, Barnes earned two Quick Time awards and appeared in each night’s Honest Abe Roofing Dash. Sunday at Sheridan was his shining moment as he held off Matt Covington and Garrett Benson to score his first Series win. He found similarities in the tracks to his California experience that helped him progress faster. 

“Big Sky had a big curb and was slick too,” Barnes said. “That helped a lot, but I feel like our overall package was pretty good. Just a little bad luck on the second night, but I feel like we had really good speed throughout the whole night. And then Sheridan was, I mean, I felt like pretty dominant. We fired off well and got away dominated, but the car was really good, and the whole team did good.” 

After taking a first win with the POWRi 410 Sprint Cars at Lake Ozark Speedway the following week, Barnes made his fourth career ASCS appearance on Sept. 12 at Moberly Motorsports Park. Turning his first laps around the 3/8-mile oval, Barnes won his first Dash before outdueling Cameron Martin and Sam Hafertepe Jr. for his second consecutive Series win. 

Meyers said Barnes's youthfulness helps him adapt and find speed faster than other competitors in the program. 

“Being young is a big advantage because naivety is bliss,” Meyers said. “When you're that young and you really don't know the limits yet, it's very natural for Jett to get in and stand on the gas. I know for me, when I went out on the road, like, I wasn't afraid of speed. And frankly, when you grow up racing on California tracks, they're small, they're typically rough, and things are happening really fast. So, when you get out on a half mile, it's actually quite a bit easier on the nerves. As long as you're not afraid of the speed, it's actually less intense to race a half mile than it is to race a bullring.” 

While Barnes is set to close 2026 around California for Jason Meyers Racing, he cherishes what he’s accomplished in the year with the team and in ASCS as he prepares to spend more time racing in the national ranks. 

“It was definitely different from what I’m used to,” Barnes said. “The power of ASCS, like, the competition was really good and really tough. The first night at Big Sky, I was surprised at how good Seth (Bergman) and Sam (Hafertepe Jr.) were, and racing against them. It was different from the California competition, but it was really tough, and the tracks were awesome to visit. We’ll have some tough races coming up to try and close out on a good note, then we’ll look for good things next year.” 

Through a successful run with the team and the early bonds that Barnes has built with the team, Meyers is looking forward to giving the young Californian more chances to battle the country’s top Sprint Car drivers across the ranks in the upcoming season. 

“He came out and did a great job,” Meyers said. “He’s shown up at the shop and worked well with the guys right out of the gate. He won his third race, and it went well overall. So, we expanded the schedule this year, and we’re still working to put things together, but it looks like we’re going to put a pretty extensive schedule for Jett that’s similar to what we did with Corey. We really enjoyed our time with ASCS this summer. The hospitality was great, and we had some really good runs to show.” 

The ASCS National Tour will head into the penultimate weekend of the 2026 season at RPM Speedway on Saturday, Oct. 10. Then, the Series visits Creek County Speedway for the Fuzzy’s Fall Fling on Friday-Saturday, Oct. 16-17 to close the year.
