CUMMINS COMETH! 2026 USAC AMSOIL NATIONAL SPRINT CAR REVIEW

 

Josh James

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Speedway, Indiana (October 28, 2026)………The 3333 points Kyle Cummins garnered in the final 2026 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship standings seems fitting for the Princeton, Indiana racer who’s run variations of the 3 on his car for nearly a quarter century of sprint car racing from the 3c to the 3R to the 3p.


 

In 2026, he piloted the Petty Performance Racing/Avanti Windows & Doors – JUGO Superfoods/Mach-1/Stanton Chevy No. 3p to a second straight series title on the strength of a career high 11 wins, 351 laps led, 35 top fives, and 45 top tens in 48 feature starts, all of which ranked number one throughout the season.


 

Across a historic two-year span, Cummins has accrued a pair of USAC National Sprint Car titles, 21 wins, 567 laps led, 73 top fives, 89 top tens, and 97 starts, all categories in which he ranks number one among all series drivers on his way to backing up his first crown in 2025, while earning around $289,000 in total prize money for the year.


 

“I think I’m more excited about this one than I was the first one,” Cummins revealed. “I was always saying that just one would be cool. You can have a lucky year and it felt like everything went our way last year. To come out this year and back it up, I don’t know if everything went our way, but we definitely had a really good season.”


 

Cummins was focused on a different approach this year. After getting a first title under his belt the previous year, Cummins was dialed in on winning races and letting everything else take care of itself as far as the points were concerned.


 

“This year, because I won the championship once, every race I go to, I wanted to win,” Cummins explained. “Last year, I got real nervous and I really started points racing. If I was second and third, I kind of just stayed there because I was like, ‘hey it’s going to be a good points night.’ This year, I didn’t care about that at all. I was just trying to win races and it seemed like, this year, it’s worked out pretty good in staying consistent. If you know the team behind me, they want me to push the entire time. That was the big stepping stone from last year to this year.”


 

Cummins and crew were also compelled to tinker and experiment with new setups and combinations, especially in the early part of the season leading up to the busy and grueling summer months, namely USAC Indiana Sprint Week.


 

“It was a season where we tried a bunch of stuff just trying to get better for the bigger races,” Cummins admitted. “It was kind of a fun back-and-forth season of just trying stuff. We tried things at all the tracks we went to before Indiana Sprint Week. We were always kind of doing like a test session mainly to get good for Sprint Week.”


 

The 2026 season for Cummins and PPR could be summed up by saying that this was a checkbox type of year. There were many items left on Cummins’ radar that he was all in on crossing off throughout the year.


 

He notched his first ever USAC win at the Terre Haute Action Track’s 1/2-mile during April’s Jim Hurtubise Classic, then returned in July to score the USAC Indiana Sprint Week round there at the Don Smith Classic. In May, he checked off his first USAC triumph at Eldora Speedway’s 1/2-mile during #LetsRaceTwo then came back to The Big E in September to corral the 4-Crown Nationals. Adding to it, he also reigned for the first time at Knoxville Raceway’s 1/2-mile during May’s Corn Belt Clash.


 

“I was excited at Terre Haute and thought that was cool, but then to come back again during Sprint Week, I was probably more excited than I had been in a long time to win twice there,” Cummins fondly recalled. “Then, Eldora during the 4-Crown, that was even more exciting because it might be luck to do it once, but if you do it twice, you’ve got a pretty good car there. To knock those off was pretty exciting, and then Knoxville. To win those races I wanted to win and then to win them twice, that was definitely a cherry on top of the season for me.”


 

You can also mix in an Eastern Storm championship and an Indiana Sprint Week title for Cummins in 2026, the latter of which was where most of the season’s groundwork was geared to by the team.


 

“Our goal was to win Sprint Week,” Cummins said without hesitation. “Then, to be able to knock that off the list, that was something that I hadn’t done. That week seems like it’s harder than the whole year. For the whole year, if you have a couple of bad weekends, you can have a weekend off where you can sit and analyze the car and go through it. If you’re off at Sprint Week, once you start off, it’s really hard to get back on when you’re going back to back to back. During that week, everything has to work out right and everything’s so tight because there’s only a few races.”


 

All of the aforementioned major wins and crowns were accomplished for the first time after so many years of trying. Five of them came on 1/2-miles after only having one total in his career entering the 2026 season. Getting good on the bigger tracks has been a key to Cummins’ championship seasons, and a portion of his skill set that he now excels at after previously trying to find his footing.


 

“To win a USAC championship, I feel like you’ve got to be good at the 3/8-miles,” Cummins noted. “You’ve got to be good at the quarters, but 3/8-mile tracks are the ones you’ve got to be good at. The 3/8 to 1/2-miles are where I kind of struggled. Now, I feel way more comfortable running a 1/2-mile racetrack and I feel that we’re going to finish in the top three or top five for sure. Having a really good car on the big tracks is super important.”


 

In 2026, Cummins also collected his second consecutive Larry Rice Classic victory at Bloomington Speedway in May, then was victorious in the Eastern Storm opener in June at Grandview Speedway. He picked up a second straight score at Butler Motor Speedway, followed by the Sprintacular at Lincoln Park Speedway. He won again at Lincoln Park in late July during Indiana Sprint Week as well as the opening night of Sprint Car Smackdown in August at Kokomo.


 

Along the way, Cummins garnered an all-time record of 45 consecutive top 10 finishes in USAC National Sprint Car competition, spanning from the second race of the year at Volusia to the second to last race on the schedule at Central Arizona Raceway. That completely obliterated the former record of 29-straight top tens set by Kevin Thomas Jr. just last year in 2025.


 

On the path to the title, there was little resistance, and the pressure to perform was a fraction of what it was just one year ago, admitting the title race didn’t even register on his radar until August. After taking the point lead in the eighth round of the season in early April, Cummins never lifted as he backed up his dream season with another dream season in 2026.


 

With team owner Jerry Petty, and core team members Cameron LaRose, Zach Fields, and Kasey DeRenzy, it’s been a dream come true the 39-year-old Cummins after one of the finest two-year runs in series history.


 

“It’s been two years of a dream season,” Cummins stated. “A lot teams put in a lot of effort, but my guys go the extra mile. It’s kind of what makes me want to get up on the wheel a little bit extra just to reward them a little bit.”


 

Despite the fulfillment of back to back dream seasons, it was announced shortly after the final race of the campaign that the Petty Performance Racing national team was shutting down and would not continue into 2027. Thus closing the curtain on one of the most successful combinations and eras in USAC National Sprint Car history, albeit a relatively brief one.


 

Thirteen (13) different drivers won feature events in 2026, tied for the most with the series since 2016: Kyle Cummins (11), Mitchel Moles (7), Justin Grant (6), Briggs Danner (5), Jake Swanson (5), Brady Bacon (3), Logan Seavey (3), Gavin Miller (2), Kevin Thomas Jr. (2), Robert Ballou (1), Cale Coons (1), Trey Osborne (1), and Chase Stockon (1).


 

Justin Grant took second in the standings behind Cummins. Grant earned six wins at Ocala, Red Hill, The Dirt Track at IMS, Lawrenceburg, Tri-State, and Kokomo. His Indiana Sprint Week win in July at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway put him in an elite group alongside A.J. Foyt, Rich Vogler, Mel Kenyon, and Dave Darland as drivers who’ve accumulated 100 or more USAC national feature victories in their career. He also became the first driver to reach 70 career USAC National Sprint Car wins and also scored his sixth career Smackdown belt, and fourth in a row, in August at Kokomo.


 

Mitchel Moles tallied a third place points finish, his second consecutive top-three points placing. He earned a career best seven wins at Tri-State, Terre Haute, back to back nights at Red Hill, Big Diamond, Williams Grove, and Circle City. His seven wins were more than double his career total of five over his first four seasons with the series.


 

Jake Swanson equaled a career high by taking fourth place in the final points. He grabbed a career best five USAC National Sprint Car wins in 2026 at Volusia and Paragon, as well as three of the final five events of the year at Lawrenceburg’s Greg Staab Memorial, and twice at Central Arizona during the prelims of the Western World Championships.


 

Kevin Thomas Jr. changed teams midway through the season from Rock Steady Racing to BBI Motorsports. With BBI, he won twice, including the Indiana Sprint Week round at Kokomo and his record extending sixth Haubstadt Hustler at Tri-State, which made him just the fifth driver in series history to win 50 career races, while finishing fifth in points.


 

Briggs Danner equaled his career best with a sixth place points finish to go along with a career best five feature victories at Lawrenceburg, Circle City, and Bridgeport, where he got his first national win after recording his first ever sprint car start and win with USAC East Coast in 2020. He also added wins at Action Track USA and a second straight dub at Eldora.


 

C.J. Leary was seventh in points with 13 top fives and 26 top tens while driving for himself, the Fox Bros., Hunter Maddox, and Michael Motorsports. In February, he reached a milestone by making his 500th career USAC National Sprint Car feature start, and in May, he set a new USAC National Sprint Car ironman record with his 328th consecutive feature start.


 

Chase Stockon returned to victory lane on Friday the 13th in February at Ocala Speedway. It was his first win in the Sunshine State of Florida in eight years. Stockon also added 10 top fives, 25 top tens, and 40 laps led as the wheelman for Tom and Laurie Sertich’s No. 92. Stockon went on to finish 8th in the standings, his 14th top 10 points finish in 15 years.


 

Logan Seavey finished ninth in points but led the series standings for the first seven races of the year with early season victories in Florida at both Volusia and Ocala en route to the Winter Dirt Games championship. In September, he prevailed in the closest finish of the year by a 0.061 second margin over Kyle Cummins in USAC’s first trip to Lernerville in 15 years.


 

Robert Ballou became the 12th driver in USAC National Sprint Car history to reach the 40-win mark in July’s Indiana Sprint Week show at Bloomington. The victory came in dramatic fashion when Gavin Miller ran out of fuel on the final lap as Ballou raced by to pick up his only win of the USAC season, while rounding out the top 10 in the season points.


 

Veteran Brady Bacon moved past Dave Darland and into second place on the all-time USAC National Sprint Car win list in 2026 with a trio of scores at Eldora’s #LetsRaceTwo, Knoxville’s Corn Belt Clash, and Circle City, the latter of which was his sixth career Indiana Sprint Week win at six different tracks. He has now won a USAC Sprint Car race in 16-straight years.


 

Cale Coons earned USAC National Sprint Car Max Papis Innovations Rookie of the Year honors with a superb season in which he became a first time series winner. During a Smackdown prelim in August at Kokomo, the son of USAC career Triple Crown champion Jerry Coons Jr. became part of the 10th father/son duo to win a USAC National Sprint Car feature.


 

Coons was one of three drivers to win his first USAC National Sprint Car feature event in 2026 along with Trey Osborne and Gavin Miller. The 6’8” tall Osborne returned to Ocala and won at the place he suffered injuries at two years ago and did so with a quarter century old Mopar engine. Gavin Miller was a quick learner on the scene in 2026 as the true sprint car Rookie won twice, first at Amarillo’s Bomb City 40, then pocketed the biggest payday of the year with a $42,450 reward in the season finale Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway.


 

Furthermore, the largest car count in Indiana Sprint Week history of 71 greeted competitors at Lincoln Park Speedway in July. Justin Grant shared the series lead with Kyle Cummins by tallying 45 top 10 finishes, both of which broke the former record of 44 set by Cummins in 2025. Grant also grabbed the most fast qualifying times with 10. Cale Coons led all drivers with 16 heat race wins.


 

The biggest charge of the season was +18 by Cale Coons with a 25th to 7th run in July at the Bloomington Speedway round of Indiana Sprint Week.


 

Seven drivers started all 48 feature events: Kyle Cummins, Briggs Danner, Justin Grant, C.J. Leary, Mitchel Moles, Chase Stockon, and Jake Swanson. Ten drivers competed at every event with the aforementioned group, plus Kevin Thomas Jr., Logan Seavey, and Cale Coons.

INDYCAR WINNER CHRISTIAN RASMUSSEN TO MAKE USAC MIDGET DEBUT AT TURKEY NIGHT

 

ed  carpenter racing

VENTURA, Calif. (October 20, 2026) - NTT INDYCAR Series race winner Christian Rasmussen will trade his No. 21 Chevrolet INDYCAR for a dirt USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget this Thanksgiving weekend.


 

Rasmussen will compete in the 85th Annual ARP Turkey Night Grand Prix at southern California’s Ventura Raceway Saturday, November 28.


 

The 26-year-old Copenhagen, Denmark native will drive a Spike chassis fielded by car owner Johnny Cofer. With support from the Agajanian family, the car will emulate the iconic 1952 Agajanian Special paint scheme driven to victory at the Indianapolis 500 by Troy Ruttman.


 

Rasmussen pilots the No. 21 Chevrolet for ECR in the NTT INDYCAR Series, where he competes full-time. He claimed his first career INDYCAR win at the Milwaukee Mile in 2025.


 

“I'm excited to try something that is completely out of my wheelhouse,” said Rasmussen. “But most of all, I’m excited to get to work with Johnny Cofer and Dan Esslinger. It’s an honor to run the 1952 Agajanian Special paint scheme, and it couldn’t be at a more fitting event.”


 

The entry also marks the reunion of both Johnny Cofer and Dan Esslinger, as Cofer won the 1994 USAC Western States Midget championship with Esslinger as team owner.


 

“I want to thank ECR for the opportunity to work with Christian,” Cofer stated. “He’s an incredibly special talent. It’s been so special to work with my daughter, Maria, on this entry, and I’m fired up to go racing again with Dan Esslinger. Tapping into his brilliant mind will make this even more exciting. Having the whole family back together again means a great deal to all of us.”


 

Now, the pairing of Cofer and Esslinger is back together to put Rasmussen in the seat. The Cofer and Esslinger names have been part of West Coast midget racing for more than three decades.


 

“To be able to go racing with Johnny Cofer again is like a dream come true for me,” added Esslinger. “To add Maria Cofer and Christian Rasmussen together with my whole family is really something special. I only wish my dad was still here to see it. For now, this is just a one race deal. But stay tuned, this could get interesting.”


 

Rasmussen is the second driver in history to win a championship at every level of the ladder to the NTT INDYCAR Series. He won the USF2000 title in 2020, the Indy Pro 2000 title in 2021 and the INDY NXT by Firestone title in 2023. He won his first INDYCAR race on Aug. 24, 2025, at the Milwaukee Mile. He is known as one of the series' strongest oval racers. Rasmussen also won the LMP2 class at the 2024 Rolex 24 At Daytona with Era Motorsport.


 

Practice for the Turkey Night Grand Prix is on Friday, November 27th. Qualifying and heat races, along with the 98-lap Turkey Night Grand Prix main event follows on Saturday, November 28th. The race is the season finale of the USAC National Midget Championship season.


 

The Turkey Night Grand Prix has been a holiday tradition since 1934. It is considered the third-longest-running race in the United States, behind only the Indianapolis 500 and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

WESTERN WORLD! 2026 USAC SPRINT SEASON FINISHES WITH A FLOURISH AT CENTRAL ARIZONA RACEWAY OCT. 22-23-24

Rich Forman

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Casa Grande, Arizona (October 21, 2026)………A total of 75 sprint cars are pre-entered for the 59th annual running of the Western World Championships at Central Arizona in Casa Grande on Thursday-Friday-Saturday, October 22-23-24, 2026.


 

Thirty-nine (39) USAC AMSOIL National and Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA 410 c.i. Sprint Cars are expected to compete in the three-night event on 3/8-mile dirt oval. The 410s will be competing for $7,500-to-win on both Thursday and Friday night.


 

Saturday’s grand finale will pay $35,000-to-win and a minimum of $1,000-to-start, plus another $20,000 in total lap leader money for the top three in the running order on each lap: 1. $250, 2. $150, 3. $100. That means the winner could walk away with a grand total of #43,750 by night’s end with lap money factored in.


 

Furthermore, thirty-six (36) USAC Avanti Windows Southwest 360 c.i. Sprint Cars are signed in for Western World. A $3,000 winner’s share is up for grabs on Thursday and Friday. Saturday’s weekend capper pays $5,000-to-win and a minimum of $1,000-to-start.


 

Both divisions will be competing on all three nights with a complete program for both divisions on each of the three evenings.


 

Here’s a look as some of the top storylines heading into one of the most prestigious and history-rich sprint car races on the planet!


 


 

SEAVEY UP FOR A REPEAT


 

Logan Seavey and Abacus Racing enter the event as the defending Western World champions after winning both nights of the event one year ago at Central Arizona Raceway.


 

Seavey is the lone two-time winner of the event in this week’s field after also capturing victory in the 2021 race.


 

The three-time 2026 USAC National Sprint Car winner started the year on a high note in Florida and aims to finish up the year on a similarly high note in Arizona.

 


 

CUMMINS CLINCHING


 

Kyle Cummins holds a commanding 199-point lead over Justin Grant with just three events remaining in the race for his second consecutive USAC National Sprint Car driving title, all this week at Central Arizona Raceway.


 

Cummins could clinch the championship as early as Thursday if his lead is at least 154 points by evening’s end. A maximum total of 238 points are available throughout the final three nights (84 on Thursday, 84 on Friday, and 70 on Saturday).


 

The Princeton, Indiana native won the Western World Championships finale in 2024.

 


 

4 PAST WINNERS OF THE WORLD


 

Four past Western World Championships champions are slated to compete in this year’s edition of the event.


 

Logan Seavey is a two-time WW winner, scoring in 2021 at Arizona Speedway and in 2025 at Central Arizona Raceway. Chase Stockon reached Western World glory in 2017 at Arizona Speedway.


 

Jake Swanson earned a complete sweep of the Western World finale in 2022 at Cocopah Speedway after picking up fast qualifying honors, winning his heat race, then capturing the feature. Kyle Cummins was the dominant figure at the 2024 Western World.


 

 

TWO CROWNS FOR R.J. JOHNSON


 

Not only is the USAC National Sprint Car championship up for the taking this weekend, but so are both the USAC CRA 410 and USAC Southwest 360 Sprint Car crowns as well.

R.J. Johnson leads both standings by commanding margins with a 287-point USAC CRA lead and a 134-point advantage in the Southwest series.


 

For Johnson, it would be his third consecutive USAC CRA championship and his sixth overall USAC Southwest title, and he could become the first driver ever to win both crowns in the same season. The Arizona native is also among those eying his first Western World Championship.


 

 

LATE MODEL ACE BACK FOR MORE


 

Late model star Ricky Thornton Jr. was spectacular in his USAC National Sprint Car debut one year ago at Western World aboard a Petty Performance Racing machine.


 

He finished 4th in his prelim night feature, then capped off the finale with a 5th place result to earn Western World Rookie of the Year honors.


 

This weekend, he’ll be pulling double duty in both a PPR 410 and 360 sprint car.


 


 

DOUBLE-DUTY IN 410s & 360s


 

A total of 14 drivers will be in double-duty mode by competing in both the 410 and 360 sprint car portions of the event at Western World.


 

The list of 14 includes Ryan Bernal, Briggs Danner, Charles Davis Jr., Jacob Denney, David Gasper, Elijah Gile, R.J. Johnson, Ricky Lewis, Gavin Miller, Daylin Perreira, Dayton Shelton, Ricky Thornton Jr., J.J. Yeley, and Kevin Thomas Jr., a 360 Western World prelim feature winner in 2025.


 

Interesting, the list includes three Rookies (Denney, Gile & Miller). Furthermore, all 14 are trying to become a first-time Western World Championships titlist.


 


 

WHIZ KIDS & WESTERN WORLD ROOKIES


 

The Western World field also includes a myriad of event Rookies attempting to chase after the Whiz Kid Award, named in honor of Eric Wilkins and posted up by Team AZ Racing.


 

The prize consists of a $1,000 bonus for the top Rookie in the 410 Sprint Car portion and another $1,000 bonus to the top Rookie in the 360 Sprint Car portion.


 

The 410 Rookie class includes Elijah Gile, Gavin Miller, Tyler Cato, Cale Coons, Alex Peck, and Jacob Denney.


 

The 360 Rookie class includes Elijah Gile, Gavin Miller, Mick Gile Jr., Austin Cato, Elijah Loper, Koen Crawford, Preston Norbury, Jacob Denney, Grant Schaadt, and Andrew Sweeney.


 


 

NEW SCENERY


 

Western World also features a bit of ride shuffling as a handful of top USAC performers have stepped into new rides for the week.


 

The band is back together as C.J. Leary returns to the Michael Motorsports No. 77m for the first time in four years. This combo won eight USAC National Sprint Car feature events between 2021-2022.


 

Robert Ballou will take the wheel of the Rex Calderwood Racing No. 6, which had been driven earlier this year by Logan Calderwood.


 

Jadon Rogers will pilot the Baldwin-Fox Racing No. 5, a ride which won Western World

in 2016 and 2017 with Chris Windom and again in 2021 with Logan Seavey.


 


 

UNDERWOOD DASH


 

Arizona based Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports will once again post $5,000-to-win for the Underwood Dash presented by AME Electrical to be held during Saturday’s Western World program.


 

The Underwood Dash is a pursuit style event that will feature 10 cars competing for 12 laps in a winner-take-all special. The dash will take place in four 3-lap segments. After each segment, the last two cars running will be eliminated. Furthermore, if a car stops on the course for any reason, that car is also eliminated. Double file restarts will be utilized for each segment.


 

Saturday’s four qualifying race winners will start at the tail of the Underwood Dash. The top 6 in points after Friday’s program will be locked into the dash.


 

Kyle Cummins was the winner of the inaugural Underwood Dash in 2025.


 

Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports will be fielding two entries throughout Western World for full-time USAC National Sprint Car drivers Mitchel Moles and Hayden Reinbold.

 


 

RACE DETAILS


 

The 59th Annual Avanti Windows & Doors Western World Championships will take place at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande on Thursday-Friday-Saturday, October 22-23-24, 2026.


 

The event will feature the 410 sprint cars of the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA divisions. Plus, the USAC Avanti Windows & Doors Southwest 360 Sprint Cars.


 

Practice night kicks off the week for all Western World competitors on Wednesday, October 21, from 6-9pm Mountain Standard Time. The drivers meeting will take place at 5:15pm.


 

For all three nights of racing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the pits open at 2pm with the front gates opening at 3pm, the drivers meeting at 4pm, and cars on track at 5pm, followed by qualifying and racing.


 

Tickets will be sold at the gate on race day and are also on sale in advance at https://www.centralazraceway.com/.

Same legendary track. Same thrilling racing tradition. A new weekend designed with race fans in mind.


 

The action kicks off Saturday, August 7, as the USAC Silver Crown Championship takes to the dirt for the Bettenhausen 100. On Sunday, August 8, the ARCA Menards Series roars into action for the Allen Crowe Memorial 100. Additional racing divisions and complete schedules will be announced in the coming months.


 

More Racing Excitement. More Convenience. More Reasons to Celebrate.


 

The new dates bring some exciting advantages for race fans, competitors and families looking to experience the best of the Springfield Mile.


 

For starters, fans will enjoy no additional Illinois State Fair admission or parking charges, making it easier and more affordable to experience a full weekend of championship racing. Racing attendees can also expect easier access to the fairgrounds and a more relaxed arrival and departure experience.


 

The dedicated weekend also gives race organizers greater flexibility to build an action-packed schedule without the time constraints, and for longtime Springfield Mile enthusiasts, one of the most anticipated traditions is making a comeback: infield camping!


 

The return of infield camping will give fans an opportunity to settle in, reconnect with fellow racing enthusiasts and enjoy the camaraderie and excitement that made Springfield Mile race weekends legendary. It's a chance to bring back the sights, sounds and atmosphere of classic dirt-track racing while introducing a new generation of fans to the experience.


 

"Racing at the Springfield Mile is woven into the history of the Illinois State Fair, and that tradition isn't going anywhere," said Jerry Costello II, Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. "By giving these historic races their own weekend, we're creating an opportunity for fans to enjoy everything they love about racing at the Fair, with added convenience, easier access and the return of some favorite traditions. It's an exciting way to kick off the Fair season, and we look forward to welcoming racing fans to Springfield for an incredible weekend."


 

For generations, the Springfield Mile has welcomed some of the greatest names in American motorsports. From open-wheel legends to stock car champions, its one-mile dirt oval has provided the backdrop for unforgettable racing moments and cherished family traditions.


 

The new racing weekend builds upon that legacy, preserving the connection between the Springfield Mile and the Illinois State Fair while creating a more accessible, fan-focused experience. Conversely, the Du Quoin Mile race weekend will continue to be held during the traditional Labor Day weekend.


 

Tickets will be sold through Track Enterprises, the State Fair box office, and Ticketmaster. ARCA discount tickets will be available through Menards. All annual ticketholders will receive their renewal letters, as usual. Any new ticket inquiries can reach out to the Track Enterprises office at 217-764-3200.

Louisiana Fast! Hinton’s Rise to an Unexpected USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year Season

Josh James

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Speedway, Indiana (October 8, 2026)………In what may be the most unlikely USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year to emerge, perhaps no one was more surprised about it than Chelby Hinton.


 

“If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that I would end up being Silver Crown Rookie of the Year, I would have told you that you were lying,” Hinton admitted.


 

No lies detected.


 

In 2026, Hinton became the first driver from the state of Louisiana to score points in USAC’s Silver Crown division while also becoming the first driver from The Pelican State to capture Max Papis Innovations Rookie of the Year honors with the series.


 

Tallying six top 10 finishes in six starts throughout the 2026 season on pavement and dirt, Hinton defeated Hayden Reinbold by a mere eight points in what was one of the closet Rookie of the Year battles in series history after leapfrogging Reinbold in the final race of the year at Toledo.


 

Hinton hails from the small northwestern Louisiana village of Dubberly, whose population is 238. But as far as the element of surprise in his Rookie of the Year award is that he missed four of the first five events of the 2026 season and had literally zero previous pavement experience under his belt entering the year.


 

His actual Silver Crown debut came in last year’s finale at Eldora where he completed 17 laps before a mechanical issue sidelined him. Going into 2026, there was really no set plan to compete for Rookie of the Year. Hinton’s mentor, USAC Hall of Fame mechanic Bob East, got him connected with pavement car owner Charles Breidinger who houses his car in East’s shop.


 

In his first pavement run during June’s Hoosier Hundred at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park just two days shy of his 21st birthday, Hinton started and finished ninth, completing 99 of 100 laps while finishing ahead of several others who possess light year more Silver Crown and pavement experience. After the longest race he’d ever run to that point and the first on an asphalt surface, the post-race reaction from his team is one that Hinton still looks back on as his fondest memory from the entire season.


 

“The looks and the talks that I got from everyone when I got out of the car at IRP, just the proud look on my dad and Bob’s face and Terry (Klatt)’s face, Charles and Miss Janice (East)’s face, and Dave (Brzozowski),” Hinton recalled. “Everyone was so happy. Moments like that are, unfortunately, few and far between in this industry. But that one in particular was one that stands out.”


 

Despite that admirable performance, Hinton was absent for the next two rounds before emerging back on the pavement of Iowa Speedway in the Breidinger number 80. There, a torsion arm broke on the car in the waning stages of the race, but Hinton kept it off the wall. In a race chockfull of attrition, Hinton still managed a 9th.


 

Thereafter, another new experience was on the horizon for Hinton – the dirt miles. Terry Klatt and Bob East offered a second car for Hinton to run and he delivered a 10th at Springfield and a 6th at Du Quoin. It was at that point that a Rookie of the Year title could quite possibly be within reach, and the team’s schedule expanded as a result.


 

“After Iowa, we got back to the shop and Bob was like, “how do you feel about running a mile?” I was like, “yes!” Hinton remembered. “All I had to do was work on it, so we did that. Then, after Springfield, we decided to go to Du Quoin and there really was no plan of running Eldora. But with Bob’s willingness to keep me in a racecar, we were able to make that happen.”


 

At Eldora, Hinton was once again rock solid in the Klatt Enterprises No. 62 as he finished 9th in the 28-car field. Only a pavement show at Ohio’s Toledo Speedway remained on the schedule, and Hinton was right within striking distance, just six points behind Reinbold. That said, in response, Reinbold’s team put together a pavement car for Toledo to go head-to-head with Hinton for the crown. To that point, Reinbold had never competed on a pavement surface.


 

“Following Eldora, we were six points out of the Rookie race and we were going to try to finish Toledo with Charles,” Hinton noted. “Between Charles, Terry, and Bob, they were like, ‘make this happen.’ So, we did what we needed to do to continue the schedule.”


 

While Reinbold struggled with engine issues en route to a 17th place finish, Hinton laid down yet another solid top 10 result to lock up Rookie of the Year honors by eight markers. For Hinton, it was and forever will be a monumental moment in his career after competing semi-regularly with USAC’s National Sprint Car and Midget series over the past few seasons.


 

“This was my last shot at a USAC Rookie of the Year,” Hinton stated. “To me, it really means a lot because, if I do nothing else in my career, I can always say I did that and I’ll always be in the history books. No one can take that away from me. To me, personally, it means the world.”


 

The combination of East, Klatt and Breidinger running Hinton throughout the season may have shown separate entries on paper, but the entire group was all in on Hinton achieving the feat this year.


 

East has long been a champion of Hinton’s racing activities. When Hinton was racing micro sprints at U.S. 24 Speedway in Logansport, Indiana a few years ago, he was noticed by former USAC Midget competitor Doug Wright, who brought Hinton’s name to the attention of East, who gave him his first shot in a USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget back in 2022. For Hinton, he was starstruck just to be standing inside the Beast shop which has produced hundreds of USAC wins and numerous championships over the past four decades.


 

“(Bob) has been very instrumental to my development in really every aspect of my racing,” Hinton praised. “I owe 80 percent of my career to him right now, and I want to do everything right by that man because he’s done everything right by me. He’s always wanted me to continue to get better as a driver and a person. Since I first met Bob, I feel like I’ve grown a lot since then. We work really well together and I haven’t sat in a car yet that Bob has touched that I didn’t like or didn’t feel comfortable in. To this day, he has not done a single thing on a racecar that I didn’t absolutely love.”


 

East has long been associated with Klatt, and without them entering a second car for Hinton to drive on the dirt miles this year, the Rookie race wouldn’t have even been an afterthought.


 

“Anything Bob wants to do, it has to run through Terry, and if Terry doesn’t want me around, then nothing happens,” Hinton explained. “There isn’t a single day that goes by with him in the shop or at the races that isn’t just a blast because Terry is an absolute fun human being to be around. You won’t find a more ecstatic person at the racetrack. I wouldn’t have anything that I have without (Bob and Terry).”


 

To go from zero pavement experience to placing within the top 10 finishers in all of his pavement starts, Hinton quickly showed that he’s a highly capable shoe whether it’s dirt or pavement. It’s a quest Breidinger played a pivotal role in as he provided his Bob East-built Beast chassis for Hinton to succeed in an environment he had never before faced.


 

“I’ve loved Charles the since the first time I started talking to him and I’m guessing he did the same because he has given me anything and everything that I need to go out and compete and have a competitive racecar underneath me,” Hinton said. “No matter where he is or what he’s doing, he always makes sure that I have exactly what I need to be as competitive as I can be.”


 

All in all, in the most unexpected of Rookie seasons, Hinton and the individuals surrounding him teamed up to make it a banner year for all, even if there was really no goal set in stone at the start of the year.


 

“Obviously, I have high expectations of myself, but Bob really didn’t set any standard or goal,” Hinton elaborated. “He just wanted to keep me in a racecar. With Bob, Terry, and Charles putting me through this second and third quarter of the year, none of this would’ve been possible without them.”

DIRT SLINGIN’! USAC SPRINTS SET FOR 2 NIGHTS AT THE BURG OCTOBER 9-10

  

Steve Koletar

Lawrenceburg, Indiana (October 7, 2026)………Two more times. We’re gonna celebrate.


 

The final two Midwest events of the 2026 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season bring a double dose of dirt slingin’ to the speedy southeastern Indiana 3/8-mile oval of Lawrenceburg Speedway on Friday-Saturday, October 9-10.


 

Drivers and teams will be chasing after a $6,544 top prize during Friday’s Greg Staab Memorial and a grand prize of $20,000 during Saturday night’s Fall Nationals, with $750 to start each night.


 

The battleground is calling. So, here’s a few Greg Staab Memorial & Fall Nationals tidbits for an all-Burg USAC weekend!


 


 

ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES A SEAVEY


 

When it comes to the Fall Nationals, Logan Seavey has had the upper hand in recent years.


 

No driver has ever won the Fall Nationals in three consecutive years, but the Sutter, California native will have that opportunity this Saturday night in the $20,000-to-win feature aboard his Abacus Racing No. 57.


 

The USAC Triple Crown champion owns five overall USAC National Sprint Car wins at The Burg. However, this year’s outings at the track haven’t been to his liking with 15th place results on each occasion. Seavey looks to turn that around this weekend.


 


 

CUMMINS’ TRIFECTA COULD NET $40,000


 

USAC National Sprint Car point leader Kyle Cummins is the defending Greg Staab Memorial winner. He’s the most recent USAC National Sprint Car winner in 2026. He’s far and away the USAC National Sprint Car point leader. Oh, and he won the Fall Nationals back in 2022.


 

Cummins can add to those accolades during Saturday’s Fall Nationals if he can finish on the podium. After finishing 2nd in the first two rounds of the Trifecta at Kokomo’s Smackdown and Tri-State’s Haubstadt Hustler in August and September, respectively, a nice chunk of bonus money could be added to his bank.


 

If Cummins wins the race, he’ll pocket $40,000 with a $20,000 winner’s share, plus the $20,000 bonus. If he runs 2nd in the race, he’d collect $28,000. If he finishes 3rd, $14,000 would be awarded to Cummins. Cummins is the only driver eligible to receive the Trifecta bonus this weekend.


 


 

6 FLAGS IN THE FIELD OF THE CHECKERED VARIETY


 

Kyle Cummins, the 2022 winner, is also one of six Fall Nationals winners scheduled to compete in this weekend’s field along with Robert Ballou, Chase Stockon, Kevin Thomas Jr., Justin Grant, and Logan Seavey.


 

Ballou captured the first two editions of the event in 2007 and 2008, one on the old Lawrenceburg track and one on the current layout. Furthermore, Chase Stockon scored an emotional victory shortly after the passing of his mother in 2012.


 

Kevin Thomas Jr. is the only three-time winner of the event in 2017, 2019, and 2021. Justin Grant has won it twice in 2018 and 2023 and was just five laps away from a third victory when a flat right rear tire ended his bid for the win in 2025.


 

Logan Seavey has won the last two and is now going for an unprecedented three-in-a-row at the Fall Nationals.


 


 

DANNER’S DANCIN’


 

Briggs Danner’s winning ways have been strong of late as he was the victor at Eldora’s Thursday night USAC National Sprint Car program at the end of September. He then followed that up with a USAC Silver Crown victory at Toledo Speedway last Saturday.


 

Danner knows the fast way around Lawrenceburg. He won April’s Justin Owen Memorial at the track and was the inaugural winner of the Greg Staab Memorial back in 2024.


 

His five wins this year on the USAC National Sprint Car trail are already a career high, and now he’s aiming to add on to it at one of his favorite racetracks.


 


 

GRANT IS THE BURG MAN


 

Justin Grant is the all-time winningest USAC National Sprint Car driver at Lawrenceburg with eight career victories, the most recent of which came this past July in the series’ most recent visit to the track during USAC Indiana Sprint Week.


 

Two of Grant’s eight Burg victories have come during the Fall Nationals in 2018 and 2023.


 

His very first career USAC National Sprint Car win came at Lawrenceburg way back in 2012.


 


 

THE FALL GUYS


 

Between Mitchel Moles, Jake Swanson, and C.J. Leary, they possess 45 career USAC National Sprint Car victories at racetracks all across the country. That said, none of them thus far have occurred during the Fall Nationals, as of yet.


 

Swanson was 3rd at the 2023 Fall Nationals and was the fastest qualifier in 2020. Moles has finished 2nd in each of the past two editions of the Fall Nationals in 2024 and 2025. Moles also led all but the final turn of the 2024 Greg Staab Memorial before a mechanical issue put him out.


 

Leary was 2nd at the 2017 Fall Nationals and has been the fastest qualifier at the event on another three occasions. Leary won a pair of USAC National Sprint Car races in his career at The Burg in 2017 and 2020 and was also a track champion in 2013.


 

Cale Coons, meanwhile, takes his first crack at the Fall Nationals this Saturday. He was an 8th place finisher with USAC in the spring of this year.


 

 

CLOUSER IS ROCK STEADY FOR THE WEEKEND


 

Mario Clouser will take over the wheel of the Rock Steady Racing No. 3R this weekend in what will be his first USAC National Sprint Car appearance of the season.


 

Stevie Sussex, the team’s regular driver, has plans with family for the weekend, and thus, will not be in action this weekend. However, Sussex will be back in the ride for the remainder of the USAC season starting with the October 16 round at Dodge City Raceway Park in Kansas.


 

Clouser’s most recent USAC National Sprint Car start resulted in his best career series finish of 5th at Illinois’ Tri-City Speedway in September 2025. He also just wrapped up the USAC Silver Crown season fourth in the standings. He was a 13th place Fall Nationals finisher in 2019.


 


 

DOG DAY AFTERNOON (AND NIGHT)


 

The third running of the Greg Staab Memorial honors the life and memory of the five-time Lawrenceburg Speedway sprint car track champion in 1982-1983-1984-1985-1987.


 

Nicknamed "Dog," Staab was a longtime USAC driver and car owner who also served as the promoter of Lawrenceburg Speedway and was later a USAC National Sprint Car Competition Director.


 

As part of the event, the winner’s share will be $6,544, in recognition of the familiar No. 44 that he campaigned for several years on USAC’s Midget and Sprint Car trails as well as on the local Indiana/Ohio sprint car scene. Furthermore, the event will pay $750 to start both nights this weekend.


 

Staab scored one USAC National Sprint Car victory in his career, a memorable feat in 1988 on the pavement of Indianapolis Raceway Park that was shown live on ESPN. Staab passed away in 2017 at the age of 68.

LEARY’S CROWN! 2026 USAC SILVER CROWN SEASON REVIEW

 

Rich Forman

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Through personal loss, love, pain and joy, C.J. Leary continued to race on over the past year and a half.


 

And after finishing the USAC Silver Crown Championship points 3rd, 4th, 4th, and 2nd over the past four seasons, a title was just within reach.


 

In 2026, after 12 years after making his series debut, the Greenfield, Indiana native finally made it to the top once again, this time as a USAC Silver Crown champion.


 

Leary’s Silver Crown title is his first with the series and the second of his USAC national career after also grabbing the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship back in 2019. This one required near perfection as he finished inside the top-five in all but one of the 10 rounds while also tallying three wins.


 

He picked up two wins on the pavement at WWT Raceway and Iowa Speedway, both of which Leary admitted were “bucket list” tracks for him to win at. A repeat victory on the dirt at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds and a ceremonial swim in the infield pond / lake followed in September, to go along with a series-leading 204 laps led, and no finish worse than eighth throughout the season. By September, he had achieved a brand new series record of 15 consecutive top five finishes dating back to mid-2025.


 

The 105-point margin of Leary’s was the series’ largest since the 2015 season, while completing every single one of the 911 laps contested during the 2026 campaign. His quest to the 2026 USAC Silver Crown driving championship has spanned for nearly half of his 30 years on this earth, and this was about as perfect of a year he could’ve possibly had on the racetrack as the team finished every single race without a single DNF.


 

“Over half the battle of Silver Crown racing is making sure that your car runs the full 100 laps and finishes the races,” Leary stated. If you can do that, you’re going to be top 10 for sure, top five maybe even. We’ve had no failures the last two years, which has been just unbelievable. I owe that all to those guys for spending the time in the shop and providing us with all the right parts and pieces. It makes my job easy to show up to track and give them 100 percent.”


 

For C.J., it’s a journey to the championship that debuted in 2014. After going full-time in 2015 in the family-owned No. 30, Leary first raced to victory in USAC national competition in 2016 at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track, celebrating alongside his dad, 1997 Hoosier Hundred winner Chuck Leary, as they became the first father and son to win USAC Silver Crown races as drivers.


 

C.J.’s 2018 champ car score at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway is widely regarded as one of the best races in USAC Silver Crown history, one that C.J. cites put him “on the map” to where teams were calling him to drive their cars on a full-time basis.


 

After a run with the Klatt Enterprises team and Bob East in the forthcoming years, Leary notched another series win in 2022. But after vacating that seat in 2024, Leary joined the Team AZ Racing / Petty-Rossi / Curb-Agajanian team for 2025. Their goals were clear: win races and win championships. Despite a new pavement car, no notebook, and a new combo, they won twice and finished second in the standings for 2025. In 2026, they got even better, attaining their goals by year two in their Avanti Windows & Doors – Curb Records/DRC/Stanton Chevy No. 21.


 

At times, it takes a village to operate at an optimum level, and the 21 bunch sure has its share, becoming quite possibly the first four owner operation to earn a USAC championship, with a team that consists of Mike Burkhart, Craig Burkhart, Eric and Windy Wilkins, Justin Grau, Joe Devin of DRC, Eric Stanton of Stanton Racing Engines, Jerry Petty of Avanti Windows & Doors, Phil Rossi of Apache Transport, and Mike Curb, all of whom can now claim the 2026 Silver Crown title as their very own.


 

“It’s about the people really,” Leary tipped his cap. “I think it’s about the people you surround yourself with. And if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing, why are you doing it? There are a lot of other things out there that we could all be doing, but racing has brought us all together in the sport that we love.”


 

But amid the pursuit of accomplishing the task of capturing a USAC Silver Crown title, away from the track, Leary’s experiences were anything but perfect. An emotional roller coaster over the span of the past year and a half saw his dad pass away unexpectedly in March 2025 at the age of 59. Not only was he his dad, his mentor, and his crew chief, he was his best friend.


 

“Losing my dad was the hardest thing I’ve ever endured and I still struggle with it today. I don’t know if it’s something I’ll ever really truly get over,” C.J. said. “He was my best friend and my crew chief and he was sometimes even my worst enemy. We butted heads a lot, but I sure do wish he was here to have witnessed this season and get to celebrate this championship with us. I know that he was watching over me at all those races.”


 

In December 2025, C.J. married his longtime girlfriend, Kristy Bemmes. In 2026, C.J.’s trusty sidekick, Charlie the Black Lab, who traveled up and down the road to every one of C.J.’s USAC races going back more than a decade, passed away. Soon after, C.J. and Kristy announced that they would soon become the proud new parents of a baby boy in early 2027.


 

“I don’t know if it gets any cooler getting to win a USAC Silver Crown championship and to have a son all in the same year,” Leary beamed. “I’m really looking forward to becoming a dad. I think I’ve learned a lot from my dad and I just hope that I’m as good as he was. I think he’ll be the seventh generation of Charles Leary. That’s really cool for my family and really cool for Kristy. I think she’s going to be a great mom.”


 

Leary led the championship points for all but the first race, which was won in spectacular fashion in May at the Kansas State Fairgrounds by Hayden Reinbold. Restarting 17th after a first lap crash, then later going a lap down just 10 laps into the race, Reinbold took over the lead from a fuel-starved Justin Grant with two laps to go to become the first driver to win in his first career USAC Silver Crown start since Marv Carman in 1984.


 

Dakoda Armstrong charged from fourth to first in the first 10 laps to win the 69th running of the Hoosier Hundred at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in June. In that same race, Russ Gamester made the biggest charge of the season in what was his record-setting 31st career Hoosier Hundred start by driving from 18th to fourth. That same night, Brian Tyler and his son, Robert Tyler, became just the sixth father and son to compete in the same USAC Silver Crown race, joining David & Mike McCreary, Jim & James McElreath, Wayne Reutimann Jr. & Sr., Ken & Davey Hamilton, and Davey Hamilton Jr. & Sr.


 

Mitchel Moles led all but one lap of July’s Sumar Classic at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track as he lost the lead to his teammate Hayden Reinbold with seven laps to go, then quickly grabbed it back on the very next lap to secure the win. Moles and Reinbold’s resulting one-two finish made Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports the first team to occupy the top two spots of a USAC Silver Crown race since Tony Stewart Racing’s Levi Jones and Bryan Clauson in 2010, also at Terre Haute.


 

Briggs Danner tied for the most victories during the 2026 season, going wire-to-wire for all 100 laps to score the Rich Vogler Classic in what his first ever visit to the daunting 37 degree high banks of Indiana’s Winchester Speedway. Danner’s second career series win on July 19 came exactly one year to the day after his first win. Danner then won his first dirt mile race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds’ Bettenhausen 100 in August, taking over the lead from Justin Grant, who suffered another heartbreak when his engine expired just 13 laps from the finish line while leading. Danner then capped the season with another victory on the pavement in his first ever visit to Ohio’s Toledo Speedway.


 

During September’s 4-Crown Nationals at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway, Spire Motorsports with CB Industries debuted their new USAC Silver Crown team with Daison Pursley at the wheel. The result was absolute perfection as they were fastest in practice, captured the pole position in qualifying, then led all 50 laps en route to Pursley’s second straight Eldora champ car win. Interestingly, the top four finishers of the feature were Pursley, Brady Bacon, Matt Westfall, and Logan Seavey. For all four of those drivers, it was their only feature start of the USAC Silver Crown season.


 

Furthermore, Chase Cabre made history at Iowa when he became the first driver to win the pole position in his USAC Silver Crown debut since Shane Hmiel in 2008. In his second qualifying run at Toledo, he captured the pole position again! He led 45 laps in both races, bowing out with a mechanical issue at Iowa before finishing third at Toledo.


 

Also at Iowa, the versatile Nathan Byrd became the first driver since J.J. Yeley in 2007 at Kansas Speedway to compete in both a USAC Silver Crown and NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts race on the same day at the same track. Byrd finished fourth in the USAC race and 25th in the NASCAR event.


 

With his eighth place finish in the standings, Chelby Hinton was named the 2026 USAC Silver Crown Max Papis Innovations Rookie of the Year after finishing all six of his starts inside the top 10. In one of the closest Rookie races in series history, Louisiana’s Hinton edged Hayden Reinbold by a mere eight points.


 

Chase Cabre, Justin Grant, and C.J. Leary each led a three-way tie for the most pole positions in 2026 with two apiece.


 

Six drivers started all 10 feature events: C.J. Leary (1st in points), Briggs Danner (2nd in points), Justin Grant (3rd in points), Mario Clouser (4th in points), Gregg Cory (5th in points), and Dave Berkheimer (6th in points).


 

Seventy-two different drivers competed in a USAC Silver Crown event in 2026, the most in three years.

Season Finale Goes to Toledo on Saturday

Chuck Reed

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Toledo, Ohio (October 2, 2026)………It’s last call as the USAC Silver Crown trail in 2026 comes to the end of the road this Saturday, October 3.


 

The place is Toledo Speedway. The race is the 13th running of the Hemelgarn Racing / Super Fitness Rollie Beale Classic as the champ cars make their curtain call for the year on the 1/2-mile, high-banked paved oval in the upper northwest part of Ohio.


 

A fierce Rookie of the Year battle is at play this weekend, as are intriguing debuts, and several drivers aiming to finish their season on a high note.


 

The event remembers Toledo’s racing hero, 1973 USAC National Sprint Car champion Rollie Beale, who also later became a highly respected USAC official and served as the chief steward for both the Silver Crown and National Sprint Car series for many years.


 

Now, here’s six storylines to watch coming up this Saturday at Toledo!

 


 

LEARY LOCKED IN


 

C.J. Leary enters the Toledo finale playing with house money. He’s already clinched the 2026 USAC Silver Crown championship, the first of his career. Amazingly, he’s the first Indiana born USAC Silver Crown driving champion since Tracy Hines 26 years ago in 2000.


 

Two of Leary’s three USAC Silver Crown wins in 2026 have occurred on the asphalt, at WWT Raceway and Iowa Speedway. Furthermore, he’s currently on a string of an all-time record 15 consecutive top-five finishes with the series dating back to mid-July 2025.


 

Of course, he’d like to put the cherry on top to complete a perfect season of top-fives. But he wants more than that. In his career at Toledo, he’s finished 2nd twice in 2023 and 2024 and was fifth one year ago.

 


 

GRANT EYING FIRST CHAMP CAR W OF ‘26


 

Justin Grant enters Toledo as the defending winner of the Rollie Beale Classic at Toledo, leading all 100 laps from his outside front row starting position in April 2025 en route to the series championship.


 

However, this year, despite several strong runs, he’s been absent from USAC Silver Crown victory lane. He has six top-five finishes and has been in contention to win many of them. However, victory has eluded him thus far.


 

He owns the current longest streak of years with at least one Silver Crown victory with five dating back to 2021. Toledo marks his final opportunity of 2026 to extend that run.


 

Toledo also presents a special opportunity for Grant and his Hemelgarn Racing team. Hemelgarn, a Toledo businessman who owns the Super Fitness health club, is a longtime sponsor of the Rollie Beale Classic and was instrumental in bringing open wheel racing back to Toledo Speedway during the 2000s.

 


 

REINBOLD VS. HINTON FOR THE ROOKIE TITLE


 

Hayden Reinbold and Chelby Hinton are separated by just six points in the battle for USAC Silver Crown Max Papis Innovations Rookie of the Year honors. Both drivers will be making their Toledo debut this Saturday.


 

Gilbert, Arizona’s Reinbold will make his first pavement start of any kind in his career in the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports No. 19. The ride is a borrowed car from the Team AZ Racing / Petty-Rossi / Curb-Agajanian stable. Reinbold won the season opener back in May at the Kansas State Fairgrounds.


 

Meanwhile, Dubberly, Louisiana’s Hinton will hit the Toledo pavement for the first time in his career aboard the Breidinger Motorsports No. 80. In his five USAC Silver Crown starts this season, Hinton has yet to finish outside the top-10. His best run to date was a 6th at Du Quoin in September.

 


 

DOUBLE DUTY IN CHAMP CARS & SPRINT CARS


 

Along with USAC Silver Crown action, the 500 Sprint Car Tour will also be on hand for its event at Toledo in an open wheel doubleheader.


 

At least three drivers are planning to pull double-duty by competing in both divisions this Saturday: Tyler Roahrig, Dakoda Armstrong, and Nathan Byrd.


 

Roahrig finished 2nd in last year’s Toledo USAC Silver Crown race while Armstrong took 3rd. Byrd was a 6th place Toledo finisher in 2021.


 

On top of everything else, Byrd will be traveling back and forth between Toledo Speedway and Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin’s Road America where he is competing in the SCCA Runoffs in the Formula Atlantic division this week.


 

 

TOLEDO DEBUTS


 

Eight of the 18 drivers in Saturday’s field will be making their Toledo USAC Silver Crown debuts.


 

Among that group are top Rookie of the Year contenders Hayden Reinbold and Chelby Hinton, plus two-time 2026 series winner Briggs Danner as well as USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget winner Kale Drake, who’ll be making his pavement champ car debut.


 

Chase Cabre will make his first Toledo champ car run as will Robert Tyler. Additionally, two more drivers will be making their first USAC Silver Crown appearance of any kind this Saturday: northeast Supermodified and NEMA Midget star Chase Locke and East Coast winged sprint car racer Jared Kreider.


 

They’ll be facing off with series veterans such as Kyle Hamilton who returns to Toledo for the first time since a 6th place USAC Silver Crown finish in 2019. Kaylee Bryson made her USAC Silver Crown debut at Toledo in 2022 and finished 6th in 2023. Mario Clouser, who ranks fourth in the standings, also finished 6th at Toledo in 2024. Fifth in points in Gregg Cory who finished 13th in 2024. Dave Berkheimer, sixth in points, took a 17th place Toledo result in 2025.


 

 

A HISTORY OF CROWN FINALES


 

Saturday will mark the fourth time the USAC Silver Crown season finale has been held at Toledo Speedway. Jerry Coons Jr. won the first in 2010, while Kody Swanson won the Toledo finale in both 2011 and 2021.


 

Overall, Kody Swanson owns the most USAC Silver Crown finale victories with five. Just one driver in this Saturday’s field has won a finale. That’s C.J. Leary who earned the last win of the 2018 season at Eldora.


 

Speaking of Leary, he’s looking to become the 11th driver to win both the season finale and the USAC Silver Crown championship during the same season. That list includes: Al Unser (1973), Bobby Olivero (1979), Gary Bettenhausen (1980), Jack Hewitt (1986), Steve Butler (1992), Jimmy Sills (1996), J.J. Yeley (2002 & 2003), Bobby East (2012), Kody Swanson (2014, 2015, 2021 & 2024), and Chris Windom (2016).


 

Aaron Pierce won the 2006 season finale as a driver at Kansas Speedway. He’ll try to get it done with his team on Saturday at Toledo with Chase Cabre in the seat. Brian Tyler also achieved the same feat in the 2000 finale at Memphis Motorsports Park. His son, Robert Tyler, will be competing on Saturday with his father turning the wrenches.

Entry List for Saturday’s Toledo USAC Silver Crown Season Finale

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Toledo, Ohio (September 30, 2026)………Eighteen USAC Silver Crown drivers and cars are set to roll for this Saturday’s October 3 Hemelgarn Racing / Super Fitness Rollie Beale Classic at Ohio’s Toledo Speedway.


 

The event is the finale for the 2026 series as the field hits the 1/2-mile paved oval for 100 laps at the event honoring the 1973 USAC National Sprint Car champion who hailed from Toledo, Ohio.


 

Justin Grant enters as the defending Rollie Beale Classic winner, scoring the victory in 2025. He also earned the pole position for the race back in 2018.


 

Returning for Saturday’s lineup is C.J. Leary, who has already clinched the 2026 USAC Silver Crown title for the first time in his career, and finished 2nd at the Rollie Beale Classic in both 2023 and 2024. Tyler Roahrig took runner-up honors in the event one year ago while Dakoda Armstrong rounded out the podium in the 2025 race.


 

Kyle Hamilton is also back in the Toledo lineup for the first time since 2019, where he finished 6th. He was also 6th at Toledo back in 2012. Nathan Byrd took 6th in 2021, as did Kaylee Bryson in 2023, and Mario Clouser in 2024.


 

Gregg Cory and Dave Berkheimer are also back at Toledo this Saturday. Cory was a 13th place finisher in 2024, while Berkheimer took 17th in 2025.


 

Hayden Reinbold and Chelby Hinton are separated by just six points in the battle for USAC Silver Crown Max Papis Innovations Rookie of the Year. Reinbold will make his first pavement start of any kind in his career in the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports No. 19. The ride is a borrowed car from the Team AZ Racing / Petty-Rossi / Curb-Agajanian stable. Meanwhile, Hinton will hit the Toledo pavement for the first time in his career aboard the Breidinger Motorsports No. 80.


 

In fact, eight of the 18 drivers in the field will be making their Toledo USAC Silver Crown debuts along with Reinbold and Hinton. That list includes two-time 2026 series winner Briggs Danner as well as USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget winner Kale Drake, who’ll be making his pavement champ car debut.


 

Chase Cabre will make his first Toledo champ car run as will Robert Tyler. Additionally, two more drivers will be making their first USAC Silver Crown appearance of any kind this Saturday: Chase Locke and Jared Kreider.
