Casa Grande, Arizona (May 16, 2026)……… Ricky Lewis of Oxnard, California completed the sweep by winning Saturday night’s Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA Sprint Car event at Central Arizona Speedway.


 

Starting fifth in his Bonneau Motorsports owned Priced Right Auto Sales #15 DRC, Lewis took the lead from R.J. Johnson on the eighth lap, then led the remaining 23 laps to earn $5,000 for scoring his sixth USAC CRA victory of the season and the 18th of his career.


 

Lewis was also the winner of Friday night’s main event at Central Arizona.


 

“Chargin” Charles Davis Jr., Johnson, J.J. Yeley, and hard charger “The Pineapple” Daylin Perreira rounded out the top-five drivers.


 

With temperatures nearly reaching 100 degrees and constant winds throughout the day, twenty-six cars checked in to battle at the Pinal County Fairgrounds oval. Two-time and defending USAC CRA champion, R.J. Johnson of Laveen, Arizona was the night’s fast qualifier with a time of 16.298 seconds over Lewis, Elijah Gile, Brecken Guerrero, and leading rookie Wayne Siddle. This marked the nineteenth career Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award for the driver of the Petty Performance Racing owned Avanti Windows & Doors #1P Sherman.


 

After setting fast time, Johnson charged to victory in the 10-lap Sexton Fire Protection First Heat Race. The multi-time Arizona Sprint Car Champion finished ahead of Eddie Tafoya Jr., Verne Sweeney, Justin Kierce, Guerrero, Grant Schaadt, Zate Legend, Connor Lundy, and “The Radio Flyer” Bruce St. James.


 

Before heading to the Midwest, Buckeye, Arizona’s “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. topped the 10-lap Roy Miller Freight Lines Second Heat Race. The owner / driver of the MP Environmental #47 DRC was followed by J.J. Yeley, Lewis, Perreira, Siddle, Troy DeGaton,  Vance Wofford, Leland Fuller and Jonas Reynolds.


 

For the second night in a row, “The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams of Yorba Linda, California took the checkered flags in a 10-lap heat race.

Hernandez, Patrick Krob, and Mickey Gile.


 

After racing from sixteenth to fifth, Hilo, Hawaii’s “The Pineapple” Daylin Perreira scored the night’s Hard Charger Award / “Best Passing Job” honors at Central Arizona Raceway.

BACON BEATS ‘EM DOWN AT ELDORA, TIES DARLAND FOR 2ND ON USAC SPRINT WIN LIST

 

Ryan Sellers

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Rossburg, Ohio (May 16, 2026)………Throughout Brady Bacon’s remarkable USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car career, he’s posted some staggering statistical facts and figures.


 

On Saturday night at Rossburg, Ohio’s Eldora Speedway, the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native put another one on the board of substantial significance.


 

Bacon controlled the entire 30-lap distance as he raced to his 62nd career USAC National Sprint Car feature victory, tying himself for second place on the all-time series win list alongside Dave Darland.


 

Starting from the pole in his Chris Dyson Racing/Concord American Flagpole – Racer Magazine/Triple X/Rider Chevy, Bacon had little trouble in dismantling the 24-car field on the 1/2-mile dirt oval for his first triumph of the 2026 USAC season.


 

Bacon led every single lap en route to a 3.025 second score to capture the #LetsRaceTwo Presented by LGMG finale and a $12,000 top prize.


 

Bacon’s fourth career Eldora USAC National Sprint Car win was his third during #LetsRaceTwo, which he had also previously achieved in 2018 and 2025. Furthermore, Bacon’s latest success finally came to him following four runner-up finishes in his first seven starts with the series in 2026, including one 24 hours earlier.


 

Grant remains the all-time USAC National Sprint Car win leader with 67, but Bacon was able to edge one win closer as he hopes to get back in the race to the top of the series win list despite running a partial USAC schedule this season.


 

“It’s definitely cool,” Bacon said of equaling Darland on the list. “Hopefully, we can get some more and sneak past Justin in a little bit.”


 

Despite starting his race on the inside line, Bacon imposed his will and quickly jumped to the top ahead of outside front row starter. As Bacon settled into commanding the top spot. Grant slotted into second by the end of the opening lap. But from there on out, for all intents and purposes, all were chasing Bacon.


 

The lone red flag of the night occurred on lap six when 23rd running Paul Dues flipped upside down in turn one. He was able to climb out and walk away.


 

After the restart, a high wire act commenced among the top-four with Bacon leading the charge up top next to the outside wall ahead of Grant, Friday night Eldora winner Kyle Cummins and Briggs Danner.


 

By lap 10, Bacon’s lead stood at two full seconds. By the halfway mark on lap 15, Bacon’s advantage had ballooned to 3.4 seconds, a full straightaway distance over Grant as Bacon worked past lapped traffic with relative ease.


 

“Starting position was everything tonight,” Bacon explained. “We’re really good when it’s a fast along a pretty hard and treacherous cushion. I knew that if we got up front and didn’t make any mistakes, we’d be pretty hard to beat. Lapped traffic got a little weird there because they were throwing up so much dust that it made it hard to see the wall. That was a little tricky off turn two but the car was really good. The guys bring me a car capable of winning every night, so I’m glad to finally get this win. We’ve had a lot of second places this year.”


 

Bacon was committed to the top, never wavering on the high side momentum he’d built over the first several laps of the race, and had no inkling of letting loose of that grip anytime soon.


 

“Even the lapped cars were actually holding a pretty good pace on the bottom,” Bacon explained. “I got a little worried about that, but I was still kind of gaining on them and knew it was going to be really hard for someone to pass me if I just kept my momentum up. Luckily, not many of the lapped cars were in my lane. It gave me free range to do what I wanted, but there were a couple times I had to slide them. I was really good when I slid across turn two, and that was encouraging. If I had to get in a battle with someone, I could slide across really good.”


 

The only position in play was everything behind Bacon. Cummins made his move as he slid Grant in turn one for the second spot. Danner followed suit past Grant for third on lap 22. Likewise, Moles overtook Grant for fourth on lap 26, while Steven Snyder Jr. snookered both Grant and Moles in the waning laps to rise to fourth all while Grant fell back to sixth.


 

In the end, and through it all, Bacon was the dominant force, crossing the line as a USAC National Sprint Car winner for a record-extending 16th consecutive season, dating back to 2011. Cummins finished a distant second, with Danner third, Snyder fourth and Moles rounding out the top-five.


 

It was all clean air for Bacon from start to finish in the feature as he led every single one of the 30 laps to pick up the K & N Filters Clean Air Award.


 

In just his second career USAC National Sprint Car appearance, Snyder is making waves. In the feature, he advanced +10 from his 14th starting spot to finish fourth, making him the night’s Rod End Supply Hard Charger.


 

C.J. Leary set a brand new USAC National Sprint Car record by qualifying for his 328th consecutive feature start with the series dating back to November 2017. His new Ironman mark broke the previous record of 327 held by Justin Grant.


 

On Friday, Kyle Cummins got his first Eldora feature win. On Saturday, he collected his first fast time at The Big E in LearnLab Qualifying. Overall, it's Cummins' 21st career USAC National Sprint Car fast qualifying time, tying him with the great A.J. Foyt for 24th place all-time.

John Lee

By: Ray Cunningham


 

Butler, Missouri (May 15, 2026)………Lone Jack, Missouri’s Jack Wagner grabbed the win under the Friday night lights at Butler, Missouri’s Electric City Speedway.


 

Aboard the Jesse Hockett Racing/Wagner Boys Racing No. 77, Wagner reigned victorious in the first ever Butler Brawl in USAC Wholesale Batteries MRA Sprint Car competition.


 

Wagner was so excited afterwards with his first place trophy (a wrestling style championship belt), he stated, “I’m wearing this baby to work on Monday morning!”


 

Fellow Lone Jack chauffeur Braydon Cromwell ran second after leading the first two thirds of the race in the BCR No. 4. Just one day before his graduation from Pittsburg State University, Luke Howard (Overland Park, Kansas) brought home the Brent Lewis Racing No. 2 in third to round out the podium after advancing six spots in the feature.


 

Completing the top five on a beautiful night for racing at Mike Parker’s ECS speed plant were Chase Howard (Nesbit, Mississippi) at the wheel of his “Lucky Number 13” in fourth, and Topeka, Kansas gasman Wyatt Burks in fifth. Burks was the high point man after heat race action, but started sixth following the redraw.


 

Dakota Earls (Independence, Missouri), in the DER 15E, fought his way from 12th to sixth. Farmington, Minnesota’s Jake Kouba ran seventh, and Taylor Walton (Odessa, Missouri) won the hard charger award after starting scratch in the 25-lapper after gremlins plagued him in qualifying and the heat race. Walton rebounded in the feature, advancing seven spots to finish eighth. Justin Johnson (Parkville, Missouri) and Tyler Burton, (Independence, Missouri) rounded out the top ten, respectively, to finish in positions nine and 10.


 

Following his win in the first heat race, Samuel Wagner (Lone Jack, Missouri) ran in the top five of the feature until just past the halfway mark when he flipped between turns one and two. Samuel was okay, but his car was done for the evening.


 

The USAC Wholesale Batteries MRA Sprint Cars are in action next weekend, Saturday, May 23, at Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Missouri.

CUMMINS CHARGES BACK, LEADS FINAL LAP TO WIN ELDORA’S #LETSRACETWO OPENER

 

Ryan Sellers

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Rossburg, Ohio (May 15, 2026)………There once was a time in which Kyle Cummins admittedly struggled on 1/2-mile tracks.


 

Those days are long gone.


 

In his 17th career Eldora USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature start, the Princeton, Indiana native finally conquered the Rossburg, Ohio 1/2-mile dirt oval during Friday night’s #LetsRaceTwo Presented by LGMG opener, a victory worth $12,000.


 

Cummins captured the victory in dramatic fashion, losing the lead to Justin Grant on the white flag lap before ripping it right back on the 30th and final lap to earn his third feature victory of the USAC National Sprint Car season in his Petty Performance Racing/Avanti Windows & Doors – JUGO Superfoods/Mach-1/Stanton Chevy.


 

It took a long time to get to this point for Cummins, certainly on the 1/2-miles. He got one at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park in 2025, then notched another at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track in April of this year. Now, he finds himself on the hallowed Eldora USAC win list.


 

“Eldora Speedway is something special,” Cummins stated. “It’s been on the list for a long time. I never came to win. I just came to try and survive. Like this year at Terre Haute, I showed up and decided I wanted to win. I didn’t want to just be riding around.”


 

Cummins’ 2025 campaign at Eldora was seemingly a harbinger of things to come. He finished on the podium in all three of his USAC National Sprint Car starts at the track that year, including a third in the spring, followed by a pair of runner-up finishes in September. Lest we mention the agonizing heartbreak of his near victory during #LetsRaceTwo in 2024 in which Robert Ballou erased a half-straightaway deficit on the final lap to nip Cummins at the line by a mere .016 seconds.


 

Initially, Chase Stockon held the lead from his outside front row position and remained there for the first five laps. But the third place starting Cummins reached the point on the sixth lap, first diving under Briggs Danner in turns three and four, then moments later, sliding past Stockon for the top spot in turn one.


 

With four laps remaining, Cummins was trouncing the field to the tune of six seconds ahead of Grant. However, that was quickly dissolved when Jakeb Boxell clobbered the turn one wall and flipped several times, catching major airtime in the process. In his first career USAC National Sprint Car feature start, Boxell had moved up from 24th to 13th before the accident. During the semi-feature, he impressively drove from 10th to the win.


 

The incident also just happened to occur directly in front of Cummins who narrowly avoided contact. However, it appeared a piece of the carnage from Boxell’s accident struck Cummins’ sun visor / name plate that was affixed to his car, causing a bit of a vision obstruction as it slightly askewed itself from its normal placement on the upper right side of his frame.


 

“When he crashed, it smashed my visor in front of my face,” Cummins revealed. “I thought, ‘oh, I can deal with it.’ But when I took the green, I couldn’t even see the cushion. So, I knew it was going to be close there. I got a really good rhythm there and started feeling pretty good. Then, after that red, it kind of joggled stuff and I thought I’d be all right. As soon as we took the green, that thing was flapping in front of my face. All I needed was a couple laps here. If it would’ve been one more, I don’t know.”


 

On top off all that, Cummins full straightaway advantage and certain victory were all but gone. Now, he had Grant hot on his heels for the restart with three laps remaining. Grant stalked Cummins throughout lap 28, but coming to the white flag, Grant shot his shot, diving into turn three and sliding across the chrome of Cummins’ front bumper, seemingly within inches of sparking contact.


 

Cummins responded by turning down under Grant off turn four as Grant beat him to the start/finish line by about the width of credit card. Entering turn one for the final time, Cummins had the slider line set up to his advantage. There, he dove under Grant and slid himself all the way up to the turn two wall. That’s when the two made bumper-to-bumper contact. Grant ricocheted into the wall with his right rear tire, which thwarted all his momentum.


 

“Going down into three, I thought I got a good run, and all of a sudden, I saw him and was like, ‘I have to try to make a run,’ Cummins recalled. “I actually peeled off one time under (Robert) Ballou and got a pretty good run down the straightaway. I thought, ‘okay, I’ll do that and I can beat him. Going in, I’m like, ‘oh, I got him, I got him.’ Then, he’s turning under, and I’m going to take it in there. I did that once on a lapped car and about got in the fence and about tore the ladder off it.”


 

Escaping away, Cummins crossed the finish line 1.358 seconds to the good as the winner. Bacon capitalized on the last lap kerfuffle to grab a second place finish by a wheel over Grant. Danner took fourth while Stockon rounded out the top-five. Trey Osborne, who ran as high as second at the midway point and was running fourth on the final corner of the final lap, suffered an apparent engine issue and slowed dramatically as his car crawled across the line in a disheartening 12th place.


 

Cummins’ 33rd career USAC National Sprint Car feature triumph moved him past Rollie Beale for sole possession of 17th place on the all-time series win list. And if there was anything you could count on this night, Cummins wasn’t going to let a win at Eldora slip through his fingers any longer. Not a chance.


 

“That’s what Eldora is all about,” Cummins exclaimed. “Justin Grant is one of the best there is here. I felt like I was able to put it on the fence like you need to and make some good runs there. The last couple laps, I was just holding on, but he got a good run there. I got a pretty good diamond, and it’s the last lap at Eldora, so we just sailed in there. I thought he would turn down the hill and get back past me, and I think we bumped a little bit there. That’s for the win, baby. It’s hard racing and it’s tough to get them, especially being out in the lead for a while.”


 

Meanwhile, Grant reached a milestone by becoming just the seventh driver to reach 500 career USAC National Sprint Car feature starts, joining Dave Darland (797), Robert Ballou (560), Brady Bacon (543), Chase Stockon (532), C.J. Leary (508), and Kevin Thomas Jr. (503).


 

Grant also recorded his 42nd career USAC National Sprint Car fast time during the LearnLab Qualifying session, which moved him into a tie for sixth place all-time alongside Thomas Jr.


 

Furthermore, eighth place finisher Leary equaled an all-time USAC National Sprint Car record with his 327th consecutive USAC National Sprint Car feature start, tying Grant’s mark. Leary has started every feature event dating back to 2017.


 

Australian Todd Hobson advanced 22nd to 9th in the feature. Not only was the +13 run his best career USAC result, it also earned him Rod End Supply Hard Charger honors.


 

Cummins led 24 of the final 25 laps. But when it came to crunch time, he led the right one. By leading the most laps, he earned the K & N Filters Clean Air Award.

SALT CITY STUNNER! REINBOLD REIGNS AT HUTCH IN HIS FIRST USAC SILVER CROWN START

 

Chris Pedersen

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Hutchinson, Kansas (May 9, 2026)………Any way you slice it, the odds were stacked against Hayden Reinbold during Saturday night’s 3rd running of the Evans Building Salt City 100 at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson.


 

In what was his first career USAC Silver Crown appearance, Reinbold didn’t even make it to the green flag on the initial start after wall contact in turn four. Restarting 17th, he even went a lap down to the leader just 10 circuits into the 100-lapper.


 

Even after surging forward in the second half of the race, with 13 laps to go, Reinbold still ran fifth. With three laps to go, he occupied third behind the top-two drivers in series points a year ago. Furthermore, a half-straightaway deficit to the leader still stood in his path.


 

But at the end of it all, the 22-year-old Gilbert, Arizona native could proudly proclaim that he owned a perfect winning percentage of 100 in his USAC Silver Crown career.


 

One-for-one.


 

Reinbold made his winning move on lap 99 of 100 when racelong leader Justin Grant’s fuel tank ran dry just 1.5 laps from the finish line. Capitalizing on the situation, Reinbold scurried along the bottom of turns three and four on the 1/2-mile dirt oval, leading the final two laps to earn one of the most stunning victories in series history, considering all the circumstances.


 

“This is so much fun,” Reinbold exclaimed. “I don’t know if anybody has ever come from a lap down and went on to go win it. I’m kind of gassed. My legs are cooked. I fell off the cage.”


 

Reinbold did, in fact, fall off the roll cage on his victory lane celebration, but it was no harm, no foul. Funny thing is it took 101 starts for Reinbold to score his first career USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship feature victory in 2025 at Eldora. The Silver Crown car took just one try, and he now shares a unique stat with Jimmy Horton as the holder of an unblemished 100 percent Silver Crown winning percentage.


 

It had been nearly 42 years since a driver won in his first career USAC Silver Crown start, but Reinbold decided to take it upon himself to become the latest to achieve the feat at the wheel of his Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports/AME Electrical – RDI Development – JUGO/DRC/Stanton Chevy.


 

Marv Carman was the most recent driver to win in his first ever USAC Silver Crown start at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in 1984. In fact, only eight drivers have ever pulled off the feat: Jim McElreath (1971 Nazareth), A.J. Foyt (1971 Illinois State Fairgrounds), Danny Smith (1982 Eldora), Rick Hood (1982 Indiana State Fairgrounds), Jimmy Horton (1983 Nazareth), Herb Copeland (1983 Oklahoma City), Marv Carman (1984 Minnesota State Fairgrounds) and now Reinbold.


 

The way it all played out at Hutch could not have possibly been more dramatic. As the field was approaching the green flag on the initial start, Reinbold’s wheels got caught in the wet, causing the car to push straight into the outside turn four wall before coming to a stop and necessitating a yellow flag.


 

The contact was slight, but with a full fuel load and it being his first time in the car, it can be chalked it up to a inexperience and a learning moment.


 

“At the start, I just got tight and the track was greasy,” Reinbold explained. “I got caked in mud and I couldn’t get a tear-off off.”


 

Initially, it didn’t seem to get all that much better for Reinbold. While continuing to gain footing and gather laps, Reinbold lost a lap as pole starter Justin Grant blitzed by him just 10 laps into the race. However, with the aid of a lap 21 caution, Reinbold received his lap back per a rule that was instituted by the series a few years ago.


 

From there on, Reinbold got to work. He marched his way into the top-five by lap 64, using a part of the racetrack that had been relatively underutilized, much to his surprise.


 

“No one was going to the bottom of three and four, surprisingly,” Reinbold offered. “I felt like it was really juiced up down there, so I asked if I should go to the bottom (over the two-way radio). Since no one else was going down there, I went down there.”


 

Running the infield berm with his front wheels elevated on top of it at times, Reinbold still ran fifth with as little as 13 laps to go. He got to fourth on lap 88 when Chase Stockon fell out of contention due to a lack of fuel. He rose to third on lap 93 as he ducked under defending race winner Briggs Danner in turns three and four. Reinbold finally won a tug-of-war with C.J. Leary for second entering turn one with three laps to go.


 

But Reinbold still had to track down Grant who remained about a second ahead of him at the time with the laps dwindling. However, Grant noticeably didn’t have quite the drive off the corners as he did just moments earlier. Reinbold quickly ate up Grant’s interval on the back straight on lap 99, and completed the pass for the lead on the bottom of turns three and four just moments later.


 

On the final lap, Grant remained within a couple car lengths of Reinbold’s back bumper on the high side of turns one and two. That’s when Grant’s car appeared to practically shut off as the last fumes of fuel sloshed around. That allowed Reinbold to turn a narrow lead into an astonishing 3.042 second victory.


 

Grant crossed the line a disappointing second just inches in front of C.J. Leary in third. Kyle Steffens came home a strong fourth after starting 10th while Mario Clouser rounded out the top-five, bouncing back after suffering a flat right rear tire on lap 39 and running out of fuel on lap 88.


 

Additionally, Reinbold not only won the race, but he also did it with a flourish. Officially, he advanced seven positions to the lead from his eighth starting spot. That said, everyone saw him win the thing after restarting 17th. Either way you slice it, his spectacular back-to-front victory earned him Rod End Supply Hard Charger honors.


 

Motorsports, like life, can deliver a cruel fate when everything is seemingly going perfect. That was the case for Grant who won the pole and led 98 of the 100 laps before running out of fuel on the white flag lap. By leading the most laps, he was the night’s K & N Filters Clean Air Award recipient.


 

Grant’s start to the night was quite an adventure, as it was for all competitors. Grant literally broke the Hutchinson one-lap USAC Silver Crown track record three times during the night. He did it once in the first qualifying session before rain hit and washed the session out. With everybody required to requalify, Grant lowered the record twice more on his LearnLab re-Qualifying run with a lap of 20.789 seconds. It was the 13th career USAC Silver Crown fast qualifying time for JG, tying him with J.J. Yeley for sixth place all-time.

ROGERS’ LAST LAP RALLY BEATS SMITH AT RED HILL

Sumner, Illinois (May 9, 2026)……… Jadon Rogers passed Wesley Smith on the last lap to win Saturday night’s USAC Wholesale Batteries MRA Sprint Car Series / Midwest Thunder 410 Sprint Car Series non-points special event at Red Hill Raceway in Sumner, Illinois.


 

Earlier in the evening, Rogers (Worthington, Indiana) also fired the first salvo by winning time trials with the only lap in the 14-second bracket.


 

Smith, the Nixa, Missouri chauffeur, grabbed the lead from Wyatt Burks on the first lap, and led every lap but one in the 25-lap main event. But a restart after a caution on the last lap for a spin set up Rogers pass of Smith for the win.


 

Meanwhile, Topeka, Kansas wheelman Burks battled all night long, running inside the top-five of the feature before making a mad dash to make the podium at the end with a third in the Land of Lincoln. Arizonans Logan Calderwood and Cameron La Rose rounded out the top-five.


 

Burks won the first heat and Smith captured the second heat. Both won in impressive fashion to lead the MRA stalwarts to front row feature starting spots.


 

USAC MRA regulars Dakota Earls of Independence, Missouri and Luke Howard of Overland Park, Kansas were also on hand. Unfortunately, neither fared as well as Smith or Burks. Howard finished just outside the top ten in 11th. Earls flipped at the mid-point of the feature, ending his night in 16th. He was not injured.


 

USAC MRA returns to action next Friday night, May 15, at Electric City Raceway in Butler, Missouri for the Butler Brawl.

SILVER TO GOLD! MOLES ROLLS TO FIRST USAC SPRINT WIN OF 2026 AT TRI-STATE

Haubstadt, Indiana (May 2, 2026)………”We won at Haubstadt!”


 

Mitchel Moles finally traded in his silver for gold during Saturday night’s 13th running of the Spring Showdown at Haubstadt, Indiana’s Tri-State Speedway.


 

After several close calls in recent years – and in recent weeks – in USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship competition, the Raisin City, California native hustled past Jadon Rogers with eight laps remaining to corral his first victory of the series season.


 

Moles’ latest triumph came after finishing as the runner-up in three of his past four USAC National Sprint Car feature starts this season, finally parking his Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports/AME – Mesilla Valley Transportation/Spike/Stanton Chevy in victory lane.


 

A frequent frontrunner at the 1/4-mile dirt oval, Moles had finished on the podium in each of his past two Spring Showdown starts in 2024 and 2025, and was second in the USAC Indiana Sprint Week round at the track in 2024. This time, he was on the top step after finally putting his personal checkmark next to a Tri-State Triumph.


 

“Man, I feel like I’ve been so close,” Moles exhaled. “It was around this time last year that Justin (Grant) and I were going at it, but I gave it up with a couple laps to go. But tonight, Jadon and I got to firing some slide jobs over there and neither of us wanted to give it up. We both haven’t won a ton of USAC races. He gave it his all and I was giving it my all, and I think that’s what makes it great for the fans.”


 

Ironically, Moles’ feature victory came on the same night one of his finest streaks came to a close. Moles had been the fastest qualifier for four consecutive USAC National Sprint Car events at Tri-State dating back to 2024. On this night, he was beaten to the punch by Kyle Cummins to the tune of a mere .017 seconds.


 

Turns out, it was just fine for Moles as he notched his sixth career USAC National Sprint Car victory, tied for 78th on the all-time list alongside Emerson Axsom, Chad Boespflug, Kevin Briscoe, Shane Cottle, Jac Haudenschild, Jason McCord, Jan Opperman, Tom Sneva, George Snider and Dick Tobias.


 

Starting fifth on the grid for the 30-lap feature, Moles quickly rose to the second position on the first lap of the feature, instigating a nearly race long pursuit of frontrunner Rogers.


 

Rogers, still on the med from a broken left fibula suffered about six weeks ago, looked exemplary at the same place he picked up his one and only USAC National Sprint Car win to date back in 2022. Rogers sliced through the thick of the traffic as he kept Moles at bay for the time being. But Moles never strayed too far behind from there on out.


 

In a spectacular sequence on the 18th lap, Rogers and Moles threw hands and exchanged the lead four times in a single trip around The Class Track. Moles was able to dive under Rogers for the position in both turns one and three. However, at the exit of turns two and four, Rogers managed to fend off Moles’ attack and drive back underneath to resecure the lead by a .038 second margin at the stripe, about the diameter of a front wheel.


 

The caution fell on lap 18 when Robert Ballou (7th) and Aric Gentry (21st) stopped sideways in turns one and two. On the ensuing restart, Moles had his hands full with Kevin Thomas Jr. for the next three laps, but Moles was able to shake loose and gain some ground on Rogers once again.


 

Ninth running Eli Wilhelmus’s dramatically slowing car necessitated a yellow flag on lap 23, bringing Moles right to within a whisper of Rogers’ rear bumper. On the first lap of the resumption, Moles’ toured the middle of turns three and four, and glided up in front of Rogers at the exit of turn four to gain the lead for the first time.


 

“I think we just rolled it in a little more,” Moles explained regarding the evolution of the track surface throughout the course of the feature. “It took a little longer for that one to get picked up, and we rolled it in even more. So, I think that hurt (Jadon’s) run. I’ve been beaten like that before here, so I knew what (Kevin Thomas Jr.) was doing and I knew if I could kind of mimic that. I don’t know where their racecar was at, but when you’re good at Haubstadt, everybody’s stuff seems to go.”


 

All that said, Rogers kept his foot in it, and by the time the two reached turn four on lap 24, Rogers returned the favor and slid across the nose of Moles to retake the spot. Yet, a split second after Rogers found himself at the front once again, the caution was displayed for a two-car tangle between Eli Wilhelmus and Cale Coons, who were involved in a tussle for 15th place at the time. As a result, Rogers was moved back behind Moles for the next restart.


 

On the lap 24 restart, Moles distanced himself from the pack. Meanwhile, a battle was raging for third between Thomas and Kyle Cummins. But it was then and there that a catastrophe nearly came to fruition. As Cummins went topside around Thomas off turn two and down the back straightaway, Thomas’ right front tire and Cummins’ left rear tire brushed each other, sending Cummins’ car careening full speed sideways through the infield before he somehow managed to straighten himself out and rejoin the field, albeit after losing two positions to drop to fifth.


 

Up front, Moles had a firm grip on the number one spot and took it straight to the checkered flag to win by a 1.564 second margin over Rogers in second with Thomas taking third. Moles’ teammate, Hayden Reinbold, also demonstrated his best series finish of the year with a fourth. Cummins wound up rounding out the top-five.


 

For the first 22 laps of tonight's feature, Rogers was firmly established at the top of the leaderboard. In the end, he came home as the runner-up finisher to earn the K & N Filters Clean Air Award for the most laps led.


 

Donny Brackett raced with a damaged Jacobs Ladder during the feature, but it wasn’t enough to slow him a bit in his ex-Kyle Cummins ride. Starting 16th, Brackett raced his way up to a seventh place result, the best finish of his USAC National Sprint Car career in what was his 17th series start. He was honored as the Rod End Supply Hard Charger.

Cummins was the night’s LearnLab Fast Qualifier. His lap of 13.416 seconds represented his 20th career USAC National Sprint Car fast qualifying time, a number which moved him to 25th place all-time alongside fellow series champions Jerry Coons Jr., Tony Elliott and Roger McCluskey.

TWICE AS NICE!  CUMMINS GOES BACK TO BACK AT BLOOMINGTON’S LARRY RICE CLASSIC

indy racing

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Bloomington, Indiana (May 1, 2026)………Prior to Friday night, only driver Tony Elliott and car owner Ralph Potter had graced victory lane at the Larry Rice Classic on more than one occasion.


 

After Friday night, you can add Kyle Cummins and Petty Performance Racing to that list, as the reigning USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Champion driver and entrant backed up their Larry Rice Classic victory from one year ago to become the first back-to-back winners of the event at Indiana’s Bloomington Speedway.


 

Elliott won for Potter when the event debuted in 1993 as a USAC National Midget race. Potter returned to victory lane in 1994 with Tony Stewart piloting his V6 powered midget. Elliott returned to glory in the 1998 event, the first time it was held as a USAC National Sprint Car event.


 

It’s safe to say Cummins is officially on a roll of late, as he conquered his second consecutive USAC National Sprint Car triumph, while extending his top-five finishing streak to eight while also advancing his championship point lead to 45.


 

The Princeton, Indiana racer’s third career USAC victory at Bloomington’s red clay 1/4-mile oval was the 32nd of his USAC National Sprint Car career, moving him past Tyler Courtney and into a tie with 1973 series champion Rollie Beale for 17th place on the all-time list.


 

Cummins led all but the first lap of the 30-lap main event in his Petty Performance Racing/Avanti Windows & Doors – JUGO Superfoods/Mach-1/Stanton Chevy, blazing a trail out front for the final 29 circuits without much in the way of a creditable threat from all those who gave chase.


 

Starting from the outside of the front row, Cummins initially used the low line to bolt past pole sitter Kevin Thomas Jr. for the lead on the second lap. Thomas paced the first trip around until Cummins shot to the bottom of turn one on the second lap, blew past him and never looked back.


 

But Cummins has never fancied himself as much of a huggy-pole type of driver, a badge of honor that the event’s grand marshal, 1995 Larry Rice Classic winner Kevin Thomas, held claim to throughout his illustrious career in the Hoosier state.


 

“I’ve been coming here a long time ever since I first started. I’ve just always loved it. You’ve got the cushion to ride,” Cummins recalled. “But there at the beginning, I’m running around the bottom and I’m like, ‘I know this feels wrong.’ I was glad that the lapped cars came in there to move me to the top. Then, I knew once I got to three and four, on the top, it was definitely better.”


 

By the ninth lap, Cummins had reached the tail end of the field while carrying a full second lead ahead of Thomas, Chase Stockon, Jake Swanson and Mitchel Moles. However, on the 10th lap, any thought of Cummins getting caught in gridlock any time soon was put to rest as Gabriel Gilbert (20th) suddenly slowed on the front straightaway. Jadon Rogers nearly ramped over Gilbert’s left rear tire in the process, but kept on going. Gabriel did not return after being towed to the pits.


 

On the lap 11 restart, Thomas drifted high as he approached the back bumper of Cummins in turn three. Stockon took full advantage and drove underneath to swipe second. In medias res, Stockon was the only driver able to hang with Cummins for even a brief moment.


 

An even briefer moment saw Cummins bike in turns three and four on lap 14. Once he wrestled control back, Stockon was unable to capitalize. Mere moments later, Briggs Danner (9th) veered off the exit of turn four, then proceeded to glide slideways along the outside front straightaway wall before coming to a rest, miraculously all without making contact. The culprit was a broken steering mechanism, knocking him out of the race.


 

For Cummins, however, it was a chance to reel it in for a moment after a slight hiccup. But it was no harm, no foul essentially. It was just a part of the experience.


 

“One lap, I just grabbed the wheel and I thought I was either going to crash or I was going to win. It was one or the other,” Cummins explained. “Sometimes, you can’t really see it. You just gas it up, and hopefully, it skims through the holes. Even like the last lap, I’m like, ‘oh, did I get in too tight?’ But it makes it a little exciting and gets your blood pumping a little bit.”


 

After the midway restart, Swanson followed the path to third past Thomas on lap 16, then Swanson dug by Stockon to grab second on lap 19. Moles followed suit to third place on lap 20 as Stockon drifted outside of the low groove and fell to fourth.


 

With five to go, Moles swung around the outside of the bottom-hugging Swanson in turns one and two, and slotted himself into second. That said, the time was nigh, and Cummins was a full straightaway ahead of any of his nearest challengers.


 

Cummins sealed the deal by crossing under Rusty Nunn’s double checkered flags by a 1.997 second margin. Moles finished second for the third time in his past four starts. Swanson took third with Stockon fourth and Thomas rounding out the top-five.


 

By leading 29 of the 30 laps in the feature en route to victory, Cummins picked up the K & N Filters Clean Air Award.


 

Swanson nearly dumped it when he biked in his heat race. He ultimately gathered it up and grabbed a transfer spot to make his way into the big show. In the feature, he raced into the third spot to finish on the podium. That earned him the event’s Sober Joe Recovery of the Night honor.


 

Trey Osborne advanced 24th to 15th in the feature. The plus-nine performance made him the Rod End Supply Hard Charger for the evening.


 

Moles turned the 32nd USAC National Sprint Car LearnLab Fast Qualifying time of his career with a lap of 11.432 seconds. That moved him past 1977-1981-1982 series champion Sheldon Kinser, a Bloomington native, for 13th place on the all-time list. It's the second consecutive year that Moles was the fastest qualifier for the Larry Rice Classic.

Circle City Salute! USAC Sprints Hit Indy on May 21

indy racing

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Indianapolis, Indiana (May 18, 2026)………There’s nothing finer than Indy in the month of May.


 

But while the NTT INDYCAR Series competitors prepare for 500 miles on the other side of the city at IMS, a different breed of open wheel racing will be slinging dirt at Indianapolis, Indiana’s Circle City Raceway, located on the southeast side of Indy.


 

The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship takes on the 1/4-mile CCR bullring for 40 laps this Thursday night, May 21, for $10,000-to-win at the Circle City Salute Presented by Desnuda Organic Tequila.


 

It’s time to get after it and it’s time to read up on some of the storylines heading into this week!


 


 

SALUTE TO THE WINNERS


 

Four Circle City Salute races have produced four different Circle City Salute feature winners.


 

While Mother Nature officially won the 2025 round, it was Jake Swanson and Kyle Cummins who raced to victory on back-to-back nights back in 2023. In the Spring of 2024, it was Brady Bacon and Logan Seavey who traded turns by winning each of the two nights. Of that group, Swanson, Cummins and Seavey are expected to compete on Thursday.


 

As far as Seavey and Cummins, the past two USAC National Sprint Car champions are both tied as the winningest USAC National Sprint Car drivers of all-time at Circle City. Each driver possesses three CCR USAC wins apiece.


 


 

CIRCLE CITY SENSATIONS


 

Last weekend, C.J. Leary became the new Ironman of USAC National Sprint Car racing after making his 328th consecutive feature start dating back to the 2017 season. Over the years, Circle City has been very kind to C.J. He’s been the winner of a pair of USAC National Sprint Car feature events at the track in 2022 and 2025, both during Indiana Sprint Week.


 

Justin Grant scored his first Circle City USAC National Sprint Car win last September in a 30-lap race that featured five different lead changes. Grant led the last half of the bunch, leading the final 15 laps en route to victory.


 

Kevin Thomas Jr. was one of the early winners in the history of Circle City Raceway, scoring the September USAC National Sprint Car round there in 2022.


 


 

RUM SUCCESS


 

Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports won the very first Circle City USAC National Sprint Car feature back in 2021 with Tanner Thorson at the helm.


 

Since 2022, Mitchel Moles has been the pilot off the team’s No. 19AZ, and has reeled off four career fast qualifying awards at Circle City, including a one-lap USAC track record run of 11.819 seconds in 2022, which still stands today.


 

This Thursday, Moles and RUM are vying for their first Circle City USAC win together after finishing as the runner-up in both of their series starts there in 2025.


 


 

DENNEY MAKES DEBUT


 

Jacob Denney’s first ever start in a sprint car resulted in a feature victory, and it came right at Circle City this past April as he led the final seven laps to gain the win in Midwest Thunder 410 Sprint Car competition.


 

Now, Denney will make his first USAC National Sprint Car appearance at the very same track this Thursday night with the very same team – the Team AZ/Curb-Agajanian Racing No. 21AZ – a car which has won twice with USAC at Circle City with Jake Swanson in 2023 and C.J. Leary in 2025.


 

Of note, the last driver to win in his first career USAC National Sprint Car start was Tanner Swanson at Indiana’s Anderson Speedway in 2008. The last driver to accomplish the feat on dirt was Tony Jones at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track in 1999.


 

Denney is one of the premier drivers on the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship tour, and currently ranks as the series point leader after winning in April at the Kokomo Grand Prix.


 


 

HEY TONIGHT! CCR WINNERS ALL AROUND


 

Cale Coons made his USAC National Sprint Car debut at Circle City in 2024, but in September 2025, he returned to win a Midwest Thunder 410 Sprint Car main event at Circle City. This Thursday, USAC’s leading National Sprint Car Rooke aims for his first career series win.


 

Over the past two seasons, Jadon Rogers has won three Midwest Thunder 410 Sprint Car features at Circle City. Ricky Lewis has picked up four scores of his own at Circle City in 2024-2025 between local, Midwest Thunder 410 and BOSS competition. Robert Ballou got one at CCR in early 2024 as did Shane Cottle in 2025.


 

Zack Pretorius performed likewise, winning twice at Circle City in 2024-2025, once each with BOSS and the Midwest Thunder 410 Sprint Cars. All the aforementioned drivers plan to compete this Thursday night.


 


 

SPECIAL APPEARANCES


 

The Circle City Salute will also feature special guest appearances during the event.

Boomer, the mascot of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, will be in attendance as will Nitro, the mascot of the ECHL’s Indy Fuel. Furthermore, the Gordon Pipers will also be on hand to perform the national anthem.


 

The t-shirt cannon will also be loaded up and fired off as race fans can away with some racewear to add to their wardrobe.


 


 

RACE DETAILS


 

This Thursday night’s May 20th Circle City Salute Presented by Desnuda Organic Tequila features the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship, plus USAC Midwest Thunder SpeeD2 Midgets Pits open at 4pm Eastern with front gates opening at 5pm, the drivers meeting at 6pm and cars on track at 6:30pm followed by qualifying and racing.

USAC Sprints Face off at Terre Haute 56th Hulman Classic May 20

josh james

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Terre Haute, Indiana (May 18, 2026)………For more than a half century, the Tony Hulman Classic has been an event that every USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car driver desires to win.


 

The 56th annual chapter of the longest running USAC National Sprint Car event, dating back to 1971, returns to western Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track on Wednesday night, May 20.


 

Up for grabs is the glory of winning the Hulman Classic, the coveted rifle trophy and the $10,000 reward for a night’s worth of work on Indiana’s only 1/2-mile dirt oval.

Here are six storylines to watch!


 


 

THE HULMAN SIX


 

Six past Hulman Classic winners are expected to compete this Wednesday, including three-time winner Robert Ballou (2015-2016-2022), J.J. Yeley (1997 & 2003), Justin Grant (2025), Kevin Thomas Jr. (2017), Chase Stockon (2019) and Logan Seavey (2024).


 

Grant, Stockon and Seavey have already won in USAC National Sprint Car competition this season. Thomas Jr. and Ballou are among those looking to add their first tally of 2026 at the Action Track this weekend.


 

Yeley, meanwhile, returns to the Hulman Classic for the first time since 2004! Yeley, the 2001 and 2003 series champion, owns six USAC National Sprint Car victories in his career at Terre Haute, plus one special event.


 


 

ON THE HUNT FOR A RIFLE


 

Half the drivers currently ranking inside the top-10 of the USAC National Sprint Car point standings are seeking a first Hulman Classic victory. That’s a list that includes the likes of Kyle Cummins, Mitchel Moles, Jake Swanson, Briggs Danner and C.J. Leary.


 

Cummins and Leary already own USAC National Sprint Car feature wins at Terre Haute, but they’d also like to add the Hulman Classic’s famous rifle trophy to their collection this Wednesday.


 

Meanwhile, Cummins (2021 & 2023), Swanson (2024) and Leary (2025) have all finished as the runner-up at the Hulman Classic in recent years. Moles was 4th in 2023 while Danner was 10th in 2025.


 


 

CUMMINS’ CHECKLIST


 

Speaking of Cummins, he continues to roll with 11-straight top-five USAC National Sprint Car feature finishes entering the Hulman Classic, including a 1st and a 2nd last weekend at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway.


 

The defending champ enters the week as the series point leader by 74 markers, and back in April of this year, he scored his first career Terre Haute USAC National Sprint Car victory in the Jim Hurtubise Classic.


 

Twice, Cummins has finished as the runner-up at the Hulman in 2021 and 2023, and the coveted rifle is calling his name.


 


 

LEWIS HAS BEEN EVERYWHERE, MAN


 

Ricky Lewis’ best career USAC National Sprint Car feature finish came at the Tony Hulman Classic in 2025 where he finished 3rd after starting 10th.


 

This year, Lewis leads all drivers with eight USAC sanctioned sprint car victories across three different series: six with CRA and once each with the Southwest series and the MRA series.


 

However, a first USAC National Sprint Car win has eluded him thus far. Perhaps the Hulman Classic will be the night. Seven drivers have earned their first USAC National Sprint Car victory during the Hulman Classic: George Snider (1971), Joe Saldana (1973), Chet Johnson (1982), Cary Faas (1992), Dave Darland (1993), J.J. Yeley (1997) and Terry Pletch (1999).


 


 

GRAND MARSHAL KALITTA


 

Thirty years after his 1996 Tony Hulman Classic victory, Doug Kalitta will serve as grand marshal for the 56th running of the event featuring the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track on Wednesday night, May 20.


 

Prior to becoming the 2023 and 2025 NHRA Top Fuel dragster champion, Kalitta rose to prominence in USAC competition between 1990-1998, culminating in a National Sprint Car driving championship in 1994.


 

Across the USAC National Sprint Car and National Midget disciplines, Kalitta won 10 sprint features and seven in midgets. Twelve of his 17 career USAC national victories came at the paved high banks of Indiana’s Winchester Speedway with four more coming at Indianapolis Raceway Park’s paved oval.


 

However, there is one particular victory that stands out – his lone dirt USAC victory at the Terre Haute Action Track on May 12, 1996, where he passed Kevin Thomas with five laps remaining to win the 26th running of the Tony Hulman Classic.


 


 

HISTORY OF THE RIFLE


 

On June 19, 1966, prior to the advent of the Hulman Classic, the reward for winning each of the Twin 30-lap USAC National Sprint Car features at Terre Haute was a pair of rifles, each of which would hold a 30-30 cartridge, referring to a .30 caliber bullet and 30 grains of powder.


 

The tradition stuck, and nowadays, one treasured rifle has been annually awarded to the Hulman Classic winner dating back to 1971. To this day, it remains, perhaps, the most coveted trophy in all of USAC racing.

This Wednesday’s May 20th 56th annual Tony Hulman Classic features the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship, plus UMP DIRTcar Modifieds.

A BIGGIE AT THE BIG E! #LETSRACETWO WITH USAC & WOO AT ELDORA MAY 15-16

 

Paul Arch

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Rossburg, Ohio (May 13, 2026)………What you’ll get at Eldora Speedway this weekend is truly the best of both worlds!


 

There’s no place like Eldora Speedway, and there’s no event like #LetsRaceTwo Presented by LGMG.


 

The legendary Rossburg, Ohio 1/2-mile dirt oval will be home to USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car racing with both series competing in a dream doubleheader on back-to-back nights, Friday-Saturday, May 15-16.


 

$12,000 are on the line each night for the victor of the 10th running of the event featuring a whole wings and no wings.


 

Here’s some biggie storylines for The Big E!


 


 

BACON-SEAVEY DOUBLE DUTY


 

At least two drivers will perform double-duty with and without the wing this weekend: Brady Bacon and Logan Seavey.


 

Bacon is the defending USAC winner at #LetsRaceTwo from 2025. He also scored the USAC #LetsRaceTwo round in 2018, one of his three career USAC National Sprint Car victories at Eldora. He has also won with a wing at Eldora before, taking the 4-Crown round in 2017. He’ll be at the controls of the Chris Dyson No. 20 in the USAC portion and the TKH Motorsports No. 21H with WoO.


 

Seavey hasn’t won a #LetsRaceTwo feature as of yet, finishing as the USAC runner-up in 2024. But he has won in all three USAC national divisions at Eldora, including the sprint car in 2023. He’ll pilot the Abacus Racing No. 57 USAC car and the CB Industries-Spire Motorsports No. 87 WoO car.


 


 

LEARY ON IRONMAN RECORD WATCH


 

C.J. Leary is on the cusp of the all-time USAC National Sprint Car Ironman streak. He enters the weekend with 326 consecutive feature starts with the series dating back to 2017. Justin Grant currently holds the record of 328 between 2017 and 2025.


 

Leary won the second night of #LetsRaceTwo back in 2023, one of his two Eldora USAC Sprint Car wins. He also took the 4-Crown back in 2017. This weekend, he’ll drive the Fox Brothers Racing No. 53.


 


 

REINBOLD-UNDERWOOD ON A HOT STREAK


 

Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports is entering the weekend on a hot streak, winning the last two USAC features run over the past two weekends.


 

On May 2, Mitchel Moles took the team’s No. 19AZ to his first victory of the USAC National Sprint Car season at Indiana’s Tri-State Speedway.


 

On May 9, Hayden Reinbold followed suit by winning in his first career USAC Silver Crown start in Reinbold-Underwood’s No. 119 USAC Silver Crown car at the Kansas State Fairgrounds.


 

Mitchel, Hayden and Reinbold-Underwood have all teamed up to win USAC main events at Eldora, but none in a sprint car so far. Moles scored his first Silver Crown win there in 2024, while Reinbold tallied his first USAC Midget win at the place in 2025.


 

Now, they’ll have their chance to tame The Big E behind the wheel of a pair of Reinbold-Underwood USAC National Sprint Cars. Moles finished 4th at #LetsRaceTwo in 2025, while Reinbold took 20th.


 


 

CUMMINS EYING ELDORA REDEMPTION


 

Defending series champion Kyle Cummins continues to check items off his list as he has once again climbed to the top of the USAC National Sprint Car standings.


 

Recently, he won his first Terre Haute USAC feature in April’s Jim Hurtubise Classic on the famed 1/2-mile dirt oval. Now, he aims to knock off a victory at another famed 1/2-mile dirt oval – Eldora Speedway.


 

Cummins has put himself inside the top-five in four of his last five #LetsRaceTwo starts dating back to 2022. But it’s the first night of 2024 at Eldora he wants redemption on. Cummins led laps 23 through 29.99999 until barely being nipped at the line by Robert Ballou while Cummins was .016 seconds behind at the line.


 


 

FOUR #LETSRACETWO WINNERS


 

With four wins apiece, Robert Ballou and Justin Grant are knotted up at the top for the most feature wins in #LetsRaceTwo history, which dates back to 2015.


 

Oddly enough, on three of those occasions, Ballou and Grant won at #LetsRaceTwo on the same weekend: 2015, 2017, and 2024. Ballou added one in 2021 while Grant notched another in 2023.


 

In all, eight drivers have won the USAC portion of #LetsRaceTwo: Robert Ballou (4), Justin Grant (4), Tyler Courtney (3), Brady Bacon (2), Chad Boespflug (1), Bryan Clauson (1), C.J. Leary (1) and Chris Windom (1). Half of those - Ballou, Grant, Bacon, and Leary – will all be fighting for more wins this weekend.


 

Meanwhile, Briggs Danner won at Eldora last Fall. He and Logan Seavey are the lone two Eldora USAC Sprint Car winners also seeking a first #LetsRaceTwo triumph.


 

On the flip side, several USAC front runners are shooting for a first career Eldora USAC National Sprint Car win. Among that group are Kyle Cummins, Mitchel Moles, Jake Swanson, Kevin Thomas Jr., and Chase Stockon, which make up half of the current top-10 in the standings, plus series winners Trey Osborne and Jadon Rogers, as well as top Rookie Cale Coons, just to name a few.


 


 

SNYDER & BOXELL DEBUT


 

Two highly notable USAC National Sprint Car debuts are taking place at Eldora this weekend.


 

Steven Snyder Jr. will be in the CB Industries / Spire Motorsports No. 87, a ride which won the USAC National Sprint Cars’ most recent trip to Eldora in September 2025 with Daison Pursley driving. Snyder was the 2025 USAC National Midget Rookie of the Year and led the first six laps of a USAC National Midget feature at Eldora that same season.


 

Jakeb Boxell, meanwhile, will drive the No. 54 car owned by his mentor, Matt Westfall. Boxell finished 3rd and 6th in his first two Eldora outings with the USAC National Midgets in 2025. Westfall won his first USAC National Sprint Car feature at Eldora in 2006.

Kalitta Named Hulman Classic Grand Marshal for May 20 at Terre Haute

John Mahoney

 

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Terre Haute, Indiana (May 12, 2026)………Thirty years after his 1996 Tony Hulman Classic victory, Doug Kalitta will serve as grand marshal for the 56th running of the event featuring the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track on Wednesday night, May 20.


 

Prior to becoming the 2023 and 2025 NHRA Top Fuel dragster champion, Kalitta rose to prominence in USAC competition, culminating in a National Sprint Car driving championship in 1994.


 

Across the USAC National Sprint Car and National Midget disciplines, Kalitta won 10 sprint features and seven in midgets. Twelve of his 17 career USAC national victories came at the paved high banks of Indiana’s Winchester Speedway with four more coming at Indianapolis Raceway Park’s paved oval.


 

However, there is one particular victory that stands out – his lone dirt USAC victory at the Terre Haute Action Track on May 12, 1996, where he passed Kevin Thomas with five laps remaining to win the 26th running of the Tony Hulman Classic.


 

“My car was blowing out smoke and I think my left rear tire was just about flat, but that thing held on. There was a lot going on at the end of that race,” Kalitta recalled of the final laps of his 1996 Hulman Classic triumph. “The Hulman Classic was always on the list to win, or anything at Terre Haute, because it’s one of the coolest places I’ve ever gotten to run. I always looked forward to racing there every year. To win there was a big moment for me. I didn’t win a lot on dirt, so to get a win at the Terre Haute Action Track and the Hulman Classic meant a lot.”


 

The crew chief on Kalitta’s sprint cars during those halcyon days of the mid-1990s was National Sprint Car Hall of Fame driver Rick Ferkel, who stood in victory lane alongside Kalitta while hoisting the rifle annually awarded to the Hulman Classic winner.


 

To this day, the rifle remains one of Kalitta’s most prized racing rewards, and retains a prominent position in his trophy case, despite his crew chief’s notion.


 

“Rick always used to give me a hard time because my dad was a big hunter, and said, ‘you should’ve given that to your dad,” Kalitta said with a laugh.


 

Kalitta was a marquee talent during the 1990s and was a featured player on ESPN’s Thunder series, becoming a fixture in USAC from his 1990 debut until his final run in the spring of 1998. That said, his foray into USAC was quite uncommon. The Kalitta family’s background was drag racing. His uncle is Motorsports Hall of Fame of America inductee Connie Kalitta, and his cousin was Scott Kalitta, an 18-time winner between NHRA’s Top Fuel and Funny Car divisions.


 

So, how did Doug get the itch to go a completely different route from straight lines to ovals? It began with four-time USAC National Midget feature winner Don Schilling, and indirectly, involved USAC’s all-time winningest driver, Rich Vogler.


 

“I probably have to thank Rich Vogler more than anybody,” Kalitta explained of how he got started in USAC. “He and Don used to have a lot of battles and Don always seemed to get the worst of it. So, he’d bring his car back to the shop and it would be all wrecked. Growing up, my dad had a welding supply business and I was all into welding. I worked at different machine shops welding, fabricating and whatever, then I started working for Connie on airplanes and that’s kind of the thing I was good at and what a lot of people needed. So, I ended up helping Don, and after a while, he was like, ‘man.’ I think he felt sorry for me. He said, ‘you spend all this time helping me put these cars back together; we ought to talk to Connie and see if we can have you start running this Volkswagen (midget) he had.”


 

“My first year, I ran the ARCA Midget series, then I ended up running Don’s car on the pavement,” Kalitta added. “Then, we decided to run the whole USAC series and figure out the dirt thing (with the help of Bob East).”


 

Through it all, Doug was a constant frontrunner in USAC racing, finishing fourth in 1993 USAC National Sprint Car points and 1st in 1994, and was the runner-up with the series in both 1995 and 1996. In 1991, he was the USAC National Midget Rookie of the Year after finishing a career best third in the standings.


 

Kalitta dabbled a bit in other forms of racing. However, by the late 1990s, drag racing beckoned, and Kalitta answered the call.


 

“I ran some ARCA Stock Cars for six or seven races, and I never pushed for the Indy Racing League too much. I just never had a good opportunity there,” Kalitta explained of the other possible avenues at the time. “But before I started running midgets, I worked on Connie’s (top fuel) car for about eight years. A seat in one was just impossible to open up between my cousin and Connie both driving. So, I was wanting to drive something once I got the opportunity. Drag racing was always very intriguing to me. So, I was always looking forward to the opportunity once a seat opened up, and it finally did. With the timing of what was going on at the business too, it kind of presented itself to go drag racing.”


 

To this day, Kalitta remains in touch with the USAC National Sprint Car scene. His business, Kalitta Charters, sponsors the Dooling/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports No. 63 driven by Rookie point leader Cale Coons.


 

After all these years, Kalitta looks back on his USAC career with great fondness.


 

“We were all out there trying to whoop on each other,” Kalitta reminisced. “It was very competitive and it was the time of my life.”


 

The 56th annual Tony Hulman Classic featuring the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship, plus Modifieds takes place on Wednesday night, May 20, at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track. Pits open at 3pm Eastern with the front gates opening at 5pm, the drivers meeting at 6pm, and cars on track at 6:30pm with qualifying and racing immediately following.


 

Grandstand tickets are $30. Infield admission is $15 and allows for access to the grass infield of the Action Track through the tunnel at the far right (turn one side) of main grandstand. Kids age 12 and under are free. Pit passes are $40.

 

Hutch Opens! USAC Silver Crown Season Begins May 8-9 at Kansas State Fairgrounds

Chris Pedersen

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Hutchinson, Kansas (May 5, 2026)………The mighty Kansas State Fairgrounds in the heart of Hutchinson is where USAC Silver Crown National Championship dreams begin in 2026.


 

The Hutch half-mile dirt oval presents the third running of the Evans Building Salt City 100, the opening race on the calendar for the dirt champ cars.


 

The beautiful balance between speed, patience, bravery and concentration for 100 laps is critical at a place like Hutch. It exudes history; it demands attention; and it’s where racers from coast-to-coast will put their talents to the test with a full-on practice on Friday, May 8, followed by the real deal, a full slate on race day, Saturday, May 9.


 

The amalgamation of all these elements is the reason we’ll be there. That’s the reason you should be there. Now let’s make some history! Here are a few of the storylines to watch this weekend at Hutch.


 


 

A PERFECT 10 IN KANSAS


 

In 10 USAC Silver Crown races contested in the state of Kansas dating back to 2006, there have been exactly 10 different race winners!


 

Aaron Pierce became the first to do so with a “new generation” Silver Crown car at Kansas Speedway in 2006 while J.J. Yeley drove A.J. Foyt’s No. 14 to glory at the same place in the same car type in 2007.


 

At the Belleville High Banks, Tracy Hines (2013), Kody Swanson (2014), Chris Windom (2015), Brady Bacon (2023), Kaylee Bryson (2024) and Justin Grant (2025) have all won.


 

Kevin Thomas Jr., meanwhile, took top honors at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in 2024 as did Briggs Danner in 2025. Both will be in this weekend’s Hutchinson field, and will attempt to change that narrative.


 


 

DANNER ON DEFENSE AT SALT CITY


 

Briggs Danner captured his first career USAC Silver Crown victory during the Salt City 100 a year ago, leading the final 22 laps to score the win.


 

The Allentown, Pennsylvania racer was clutch in crunch time as he raced from third to first in a three-lap stretch between the 77th and 79th circuit, then had just enough tread on his right rear tire down the stretch to earn his first ever victory with the series in just his 10th start.


 

In 2026, the 24-year-old Danner will tackle a new challenge as he takes on a championship run with the USAC Silver Crown National Championship for DDMW Motorsports, a joint team effort between Lebanon, Ohio’s Doran Racing and Phoenix, Arizona’s DMW Motorsports who will continue to run their operations out of separate shops.

 


 

GRANT ON TITLE ALERT


 

Justin Grant has a USAC Silver Crown victory in Kansas as recently as last year, but that one came over at Belleville. Now, the Ione, California racer is eager to knock out a first on his win list this weekend at Hutch.


 

Grant comes into the 2026 season as the defending USAC Silver Crown champion, earning previous titles in 2020 and 2025. Once again, he’s back with Hemelgarn Racing for their 10th consecutive season as a Silver Crown combo.


 

His Hutch record thus far isn’t all that flashy at the moment, with finishes of 13th and 6th to his credit thus far, incidentally, being his two worst dirt finishes with the series in each of the two past years.


 

 

LEARY & CLOUSER HIGHLIGHT TWO-CAR ATTACK


 

C.J. Leary and Mario Clouser will run full-time as teammates in pursuit of the 2026 USAC Silver Crown National Championship under the Team AZ-Petty-Rossi/Curb-Agajanian banner.


 

Leary will drive the team’s No. 21 entry while Clouser will pilot the No. 20 DRC/Stanton-powered machine on both the dirt and pavement circuits throughout the 11-race tour.


 

Both team cars shared the front row and the lead of last year’s Salt City 100. Leary set a new Silver Crown track record at Hutch with a time of 20.994 seconds as well in 2025. Clouser proceeded to lead the first 42 laps before Leary held it for the next 36 circuits.


 

Leary went on to finish as the runner-up in both the race and the championship fight a year ago. Clouser bowed out early from the race with a mechanical issue, but still managed 10th. Leary also led 15 laps of the 2024 race, but an accident while battling for the lead with just 16 laps to go sent him upside down.


 

 

REINBOLD TWIN CAR TEAM DEBUTS


 

A pair of Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports cars are set to do the full allotment of six dirt USAC Silver Crown races in 2026. One for series winner Mitchel Moles and another for series newcomer Hayden Reinbold.


 

Neither driver has yet made a Hutchinson appearance. Moles (Raisin City, California) won a USAC Silver Crown race at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway in 2024. Reinbold (Gilbert, Arizona) was named the 2025 USAC National Most Improved Driver for his work in USAC’s National Sprint Car and Midget divisions. But now, he will get the chance to tackle the big cars.


 

Of note, there are three multi-car teams making the trip to Hutchinson. Briggs Danner & Bruce St. James (DDMW Motorsports), C.J. Leary & Mario Clouser (Team Arizona-Petty-Rossi/Curb-Agajanian) and Mitchel Moles & Hayden Reinbold (Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports).


 


 

NEW YEAR, NEW WINNERS ON THE HORIZON?


 

A new year brings new hopes, new dreams, and perhaps, new names who can rise to the forefront to become first-time USAC Silver Crown winners in the 2026 season. Especially considering the fact that first-time series winners have emerged in each of the first two Hutchinson races in 2024 and 2025.


 

Among those names on the list this year are Jake Swanson (Klatt Enterprises #6), Chase Stockon (Pink 69 Racing #69), Kyle Steffens (Steffens Motorsports #8) and Kale Drake (Kazmark Motorsports #92).


 

Kip Hughes (Hughes #160) returns to the Salt City 100 where he had the best run of his career one year ago, a fifth place finish. Fellow Salt City returnees include six-time Hutchinson Grand Nationals winner Danny Jennings (Grace #61), Gregg Cory (Williams-Cory #32), Dave Berkheimer (Berkheimer #31), and Steve Gennetten (GGR #64).


 

Bryan Gossel (Gossel #06), the 2020 USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year, will make his first Silver Crown appearance at Hutchinson. He has previously made sprint car starts at the track with ASCS and NCRA. USAC Southwest Sprint Car point leader Bruce St. James (DDMW #110) will make his first ever USAC Silver Crown appearance as well as Bret Triplett (SV Motorsports #65).

Southern Indiana Showcase! Bloomington & Tri-State Up Next for USAC Sprints May 1-2

Steve Koletar

  

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Speedway, Indiana (April 29, 2026)………The Red Clay & The Class Track.


 

That’s two tracks located in southern Indiana that you can instantly recognize simply by stating those two monikers.


 

The first of this weekend’s USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship rounds take us to Bloomington Speedway on Friday, May 1, for the 19th running of the Larry Rice Classic.


 

The following night, Haubstadt’s Tri-State Speedway will host the 13th running of the Spring Showdown on Saturday, May 2.


 

Here’s a glance at the storylines on this annual Bloomington/Haubstadt Spring Showcase for USAC Sprint Car racing!


 


 

HOME-CUMMINS


 

Kyle Cummins won both the Larry Rice Classic and the Spring Showdown on the same weekend one year ago, becoming the first driver in USAC National Sprint Car history to win at Bloomington and Tri-State on consecutive evenings.


 

Those victories helped propelled the Princeton, Indiana native to the USAC National Sprint Car driving championship in 2025, and entering this weekend, he resides right at the top of the standings once again.


 

He’s won twice at Bloomington in his USAC career, and seven more times at Tri-State with USAC, and was victorious in his most recent USAC National Sprint Car start on April 12 at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track, part of his ongoing streak of seven consecutive top-five finishes with the series.


 

Cummins gives no indication of slowing down any time soon, winning last Sunday’s non-sanctioned Kokomo Speedway sprint car feature by a hefty margin.


 


 

LEARY LIKE A FOX


 

C.J. Leary’s past two USAC National Sprint Car starts have resulted in two of his best runs of the 2026 season, finishing 5th at both Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute. And he accomplished it at the wheel of the Fox Brothers/Brayden Fox Racing No. 53.


 

It’s the same team which won the Bloomington Speedway track championship with Brad Fox in 1997 and again in 2024 with Brad’s son, Brayden Fox, as the driver. Brad also won a USAC Indiana Sprint Week feature at Bloomington in 1997.


 

Leary reigned victorious in the 2023 Larry Rice Classic at Bloomington, and has come close to scoring a win at Tri-State’s Spring Showdown, finishing second and coming within four laps of winning in 2018. Leary also owns Bloomington’s USAC National Sprint Car track record of 10.685 seconds.


 


 

KTJ’s BREAD & BUTTER


 

Kevin Thomas Jr. possesses a whopping 13 career USAC National Sprint Car feature victories between Bloomington and Tri-State. He’s the all-time leading winner at Tri-State with nine, and has gathered four more at Bloomington in his career.


 

He’s also one of just four drivers to win both the Larry Rice Classic and Spring Showdown in his career, along with Brady Bacon, Chris Windom and Kyle Cummins.


 

In fact, his trio of Spring Showdown wins ranks number one all-time, grabbing the top prize in the event in 2013-2018-2024. He also added a Larry Rice Classic to his tally in 2021.


 

In 2026, however, KTJ remains on the hunt for his first USAC win of the season.


 


 

MILLER DEBUT AT BLOOMINGTON


 

Bloomington’s Larry Rice Classic also presents the first opportunity of the year to see the Team Arizona/Curb-Agajanian Racing No. 21AZ in USAC competition. It was announced earlier in the season that the team set forth a part-time USAC National Sprint Car schedule with drivers Gavin Miller and Jacob Denney sharing driving duties.


 

Miller will be first up as he gets the call to make his first career USAC National Sprint Car appearance at a track that is near and dear to his career. The Allentown, Pennsylvania native has won two career USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget features at Bloomington.


 

Just last week, Miller made an impressive sprint car debut for the team at Kokomo, finishing fourth and fifth in his first ever sprint car drivers versus a stout field that contained many USAC regulars.


 

Of note, the most recent driver to win in his very first career USAC National Sprint Car feature start was Tanner Swanson at Indiana’s Anderson Speedway in 2008.


 


 

FAST TIMIN’ MOLES


 

Mitchel Moles was the quickest qualifier for both the Larry Rice Classic and the Spring Showdown one year ago in 2025.


 

In fact, the Raisin City, California racer has been the fastest qualifier in each of his past four tries at the Haubstadt, Indiana track dating back to 2024. Last year, he tied the all-time mark with 15 USAC National Sprint Car fast qualifying times during the season, equaling Kevin Thomas Jr.’s mark from 2018.


 

But now, Moles is more than ready to break through to victory lane. He’s finished as the runner-up in two of his past three series starts this month at Red Hill and Terre Haute.


 


 

LARRY RICE CLASSIC HISTORY


 

The Larry Rice Classic began as a USAC National Midget event in 1993 and 1994 at Bloomington Speedway. The event transformed into an unsanctioned sprint car event for 1995 and 1996 before going under the USAC National Sprint Car banner in 1998, where it has remained since, albeit off and on for a number of years.


 

The event honors the legacy, the life and the memory of Rice, the three-time USAC national driving champion (1973 Midget and 1977 & 1981 Silver Crown) who later became a much-loved color commentator for ESPN’s Thunder Series of USAC races on national television. Rice passed away in 2009 at the age of 63.


 

Four past Larry Rice Classic winners will be in this Friday’s field at Bloomington: Kevin Thomas Jr. (2021), C.J. Leary (2023), Logan Seavey (2024) and Kyle Cummins (2025).


 

Ralph Potter (1993-1994) is the only multi-time winning Larry Rice Classic car owner. Three more teams have an opportunity to repeat their feat this Friday: 2B Racing (2012), Abacus Racing (2024) and Petty Performance Racing (2025).


 


 

SPRING SHOWDOWN HISTORY


 

The Spring Showdown began in 2012, and has affirmed its position as one of the early season staples of the USAC National Sprint Car schedule ever since.


 

Four past Spring Showdown champions are excepted to compete in this weekend’s 13th running, including three-time winner Kevin Thomas Jr., two-time victor Kyle Cummins, plus one-time winners Justin Grant and Chase Stockon.


 


 

RACE DETAILS


 

Friday’s Larry Rice Classic on May 1 at Indiana’s Bloomington Speedway features the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and Super Stocks.
