Starks Fights Bad Luck Throughout Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway

Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (June 22, 2026) – Trey Starks endured multiple bouts of misfortune last weekend during the 54th annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway.

“We had something go amiss each day,” he said. “I felt we did a good job of digging our way out of the hole as best as we could just to get hit with another event that set us back.”

Starks qualified fourth quickest in his group to kick off the first preliminary night last Thursday. Unfortunately, a DNF in a heat race due to an ignition failure relegated him to the B Main. Starks finished fourth to secure the final transfer position into the main event. He closed the night by hustling from 24th to 13th – tied for the most positions gained.

“We had to dig ourselves out of the B Main,” he said. “We worked and fought our way to 13th. We had a really good car, but it’s really difficult coming through the field. I felt we did a good job of getting as many points as we could given the circumstances.”

Starks set quick time in his qualifying group on Friday and he gained a position in a heat race to finish fifth. With a 16-car inversion, he lined up on the outside of the seventh row in the main event. Starks climbed into the top 10 before a mechanical failure ended his night early.

“We went into the feature tied for high points on the night,” he said. “We had an engine issue with about eight laps to go. It was another night that looked promising as a good points night before another DNF put us back in a hole.”

On Saturday, Starks advanced a position during a heat race to garner the ninth starting position in the main event.

“All things considered, we were still in a position to set ourselves up well for the feature,” he said. “We ran third in Saturday’s heat race for a while and had a caution halfway. I made an aggressive move on a restart to get around Rico (Abreu) and that advanced us two rows in starting positions. After everything that happened, we weren’t looking too bad starting ninth.”

Unfortunately, Starks was caught up in an early multiple-car incident on the frontstretch that damaged his race car. He restarted the race, but eventually pulled with a 21st-place result.

“Someone had an issue a couple of cars ahead and then the car in front of me got into that car,” he said. “I turned right to avoid and so did another car so we made contact. Another car ran into us from behind, giving us damage that we just couldn’t overcome. I ran a few laps, but once I went a lap down I pulled into the infield.”

Starks is scheduled to return to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for a 360ci winged sprint car event. He currently leads the championship standings by 66 points.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Bank Largest Payday in World of Outlaws History by Winning BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals

Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (June 22, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel reached new heights last weekend when he captured the 5th annual BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals at Huset’s Speedway.

The $300,000-to-win crown jewel provided the biggest payday in World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series history and it was Gravel’s fifth career six-figure payday, which is tied for second most in the storied history of the sport.

“Being a two-time High Bank Nationals champ is cool with the event only being around five years,” he said. “What a way to boost us to the top of the earnings list and we have a lot of fun stuff coming up (this summer). We have an opportunity to do some awesome things. There’s a lot of tracks we like coming up so we have a lot to look forward to.”

The week at Huset’s Speedway was a work in progress for Gravel, who improved his feature result each night during the four-day spectacle. He rebounded from a crash last Wednesday to place 13th in the feature before maneuvering from 10th to sixth place on Thursday during the $150,000-to-win Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle.

“The first night, not that anything went severally wrong, but we didn’t qualify the best,” he said. “Going four to two in the heat race was good. We were in a three-way tie for fourth in points, which fourth gets you in the feature redraw. But we lost the tiebreaker so we started 12th. If we qualified one spot better and went fourth to second in the heat race we were in the redraw and potentially starting up front. In the feature, there was a pileup in front of me. I had nowhere to go, got into the back of Donny Schatz and spun around. We fought and clawed to get back toward where we started, which I thought was pretty good.

“On Thursday, I got over the cushion and fell to fourth in the heat race. We got back to second, which was a good rebound. We started 10th in the feature and ran sixth. I felt good there.

“Then on Friday, we were hitting on all cylinders, going quick time and we were able to gain one spot in the heat race to secure a spot in the feature redraw. We pulled the No. 8 and came back with a respectable finish to be third in points.”

Gravel’s fourth-place finish in Friday’s BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals preliminary night placed him on the pole of a heat race on Saturday. Starting next to him was two-time defending event champion Michael “Buddy” Kofoid, who had recently set a World of Outlaws record with five straight feature wins at Huset’s Speedway.

“That was a stressful 12 hours,” Gravel said. “It was awesome to get the job done in the heat race and get us in the King of the Hill by winning. We shine in qualifying so we were able to take advantage to get on the pole for the feature.”

Gravel won the Unique Movers King of the Hill to garner the pole position for Saturday’s 40-lap main event.

“I was really good around the bottom the first 20 laps,” he said. “Once the first caution came out, the track changed and I moved to the top in a hurry. I made a couple of right moves to get to the top without getting passed. I didn’t feel that great on the top, but on that open red Cody (Jacobs) worked on it some and we were better.”

Gravel led all 40 laps for the big win.

“I’ve got to thank Tod Quiring,” he said. “He puts so much money into this sport. What a night.”

The week was only show-up points for the World of Outlaws so Gravel continues to lead the championship standings by 82 points.

Next up is the Federated Auto Parts Independence Spectacular this Friday and Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis.

Dover Tackling Three-Race MSTS Weekend in South Dakota

Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (June 22, 2026) – Jack Dover is heading to a Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series tripleheader in South Dakota this weekend.

The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor will race on Friday at Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen, on Saturday at Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron and on Sunday at Casino Speedway in Watertown.

“I’m excited for a three-day weekend,” he said. “We’ve lost a lot of races this season because of rainouts so hopefully the weather cooperates. We have high hopes for the weekend.”

Dover produced a runner-up result during his debut at Brown County Speedway last year.

“We had a car capable of winning there last year and it just didn’t work out in traffic,” he said. “We were right there with Tim Kaeding throughout the race and got in front of him at one point, but a lapped car was right in front entering a corner so I had to back out of it. Tim ran a good race and we didn’t get another opportunity.”

Dove last competed at Dakota State Fair Speedway in 2008. Sunday’s event at Casino Speedway will mark his first race at the dirt oval.

This weekend will be the first Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series races of the season after the previous three scheduled shows all rained out. Dover enters as the defending Series champion.

SEASON STATS –

1 race, 0 wins, 0 top fives, 0 top 10s, 0 top 15s, 0 top 20s

Mallett Charges to Podium at Crowley’s Ridge and Top Five at Riverside

Inside Line Promotions – WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (June 22, 2026) – Jordon Mallett matched his career-best run of eight straight top-five finishes thanks to a pair of top fives last weekend with the ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints.

Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains advanced from eighth to second place on Friday at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway in Paragould, Ark., and from 11th to fifth place on Saturday at Riverside International Speedway.

“I feel like the weekend went fairly good,” Mallett said. “We had to pass a lot of race cars, which makes the night longer trying to get in position. But it shows how good of a car we had all weekend.”

Mallett won a heat race to open the action at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway, where he lined up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event.

“We were in the right spots at the right time,” he said. “We had a pretty good race car and were better in some areas than others. We rode it out and it worked out to get to second. We needed traffic to make it a little more interesting to challenge for the win. The track was pretty top dominant so we would have needed more traffic to force people to move around.”

The runner-up result tied Mallett’s best outing of the season.

The team wrapped up the weekend on Saturday during what turned out to be a jumbled night at Riverside International Speedway, which hosted the Greg Hodnett Memorial.

“They wanted to do qualifying with it being a bigger show,” Mallett said. “We were quick time overall, but they came back before the heats and said it would only line up the heats. So they just inverted the fast qualifiers and lined us up fourth in the heat, which they went off passing points.”

Mallett advanced from fourth to third place in the heat race, which lined him up on the inside of the sixth row in the feature.

“We drove through the field pretty good,” he said. “We suffered a little nose wing damage and that halted our charge. We had a really, really good race car and we felt our team did our job. It was frustrating with the way they changed the format after qualifying as we were fastest and got penalized for that. But, all in all, it was a good night with a fast race car. We just wish they had picked a format and stuck to it.”

Mallett will take this weekend off before racing July 2 at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss.; and July 3-4 at Deep South Speedway in Loxley, Ala., with the USCS Series.

QUICK RESULTS –

June 19 – Crowley’s Ridge Raceway in Paragould, Ark. – Heat race: 1 (1); Feature: 2 (8).

June 20 – Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. – Heat race: 3 (4); Feature: 5 (11).

SEASON STATS –

13 races, 0 wins, 9 top fives, 10 top 10s, 10 top 15s, 13 top 20s

UP NEXT –

July 2 at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss.; and July 3-4 at Deep South Speedway in Loxley, Ala., with the USCS Series
