Mallett Back at Riverside International Speedway Saturday on Heels of Victory at the Track

Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (Oct. 26, 2026) – Only three weekends and a handful of races remain this season for Jordon Mallett.

Up next is a return to Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., this Saturday. Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains were victorious at the track on Oct. 9 during their most recent race.

“It was a great track for us for so many years,” Mallett said. “After they put the concrete wall up around the place I had yet to win a race. They changed the characteristics of it a little. It felt really good to get back to how we used to run there.”

This Saturday’s show is also the final tune-up opportunity at the track prior to the famed Flip Flop 50 the following weekend. By winning what was deemed a Flip Flop 50 qualifier at Riverside International Speedway earlier this month, Mallett is locked into the twin main events of the spectacle.

“I look at it as another night to tune on the race car before the Flip Flop 50,” he said. “We’ll see what the race track brings this week. I feel we have a super solid baseline. We’ve had that the last few times we’ve been there, but things hadn’t fell our way until the last time we were there. We won’t deviate from it a lot. It’s our nature at the same time to not be complacent and we’re not scared to try stuff.”

The season is scheduled to conclude with a USCS Series doubleheader Nov. 13-14 at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala.

“I just want to win races,” Mallett said. “It’s so simple to say, but we’ve got a race car that can win races. I haven’t lacked any confidence in it. These last five races, hopefully we can stack up a couple more wins. We need to keep putting ourselves in position. We’re consistently fast. Once that snowball builds, it’ll go in a hurry. The places we’re going to in these last five races, we’ve ran well at. I have high expectations.”

SEASON STATS –

21 races, 2 wins, 13 top fives, 17 top 10s, 18 top 15s, 21 top 20s

UP NEXT –

Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.
