Sheppard Scores Fifth World of Outlaws Farmer City Victory in Illini 100 Opener

Emily Schwanke 

FARMER CITY, IL (April 10, 2026) – Brandon Sheppard’s first home-state start of 2026 gave him everything he could have hoped for.


The New Berlin, IL native was the man to beat from the moment he rolled onto the Farmer City Raceway property for the Illini 100. He laid down the fastest lap of practice on Thursday, and Friday was nothing short of perfect. Sheppard claimed the Simpson Quick Time Award in Qualifying, won his Heat Race and led all 40 laps of the main event for the 89th win of his career with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision.


The only part of the night that didn’t go exactly to plan was the Redraw, as Sheppard drew the two to start on the outside of Bilstein Pole Award winner Nick Hoffman. The No. 9’s time out front didn’t last long, as Sheppard rolled around his outside to lead the opening lap.


The race turned into a battle through traffic in the first green-flag run, as Bobby Pierce rallied to second and got within a half-second of Sheppard, but was unable to make a bid for the top spot. Pierce remained in second through a handful of restarts until Lap 31 when Brent Larson and Tyler Erb got together, sending Erb backwards directly in front of Pierce. The No. 32 had nowhere to go and piled into Erb before climbing back to seventh by the finish.


Pierce’s misfortune opened the door for Hoffman and Tim McCreadie to emerge as Sheppard’s closest challengers, but neither of them had enough to keep pace with the Rocket1 Racing machine. The win was his fifth at Farmer City with the World of Outlaws, breaking his tie with Billy Moyer for the most all-time. It was also Sheppard’s second Series win of 2026 after he topped the final night of Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, making him the fourth multi-time winner of 2026 alongside Pierce, Hoffman and Hudson O’Neal.


“Getting to the lead on the start was going to be key, for sure,” Sheppard said. “Hoffman’s been good all year, man. I know how important it is to be able to get out front and be able to run that line in [Turns] 1 and 2 and then go to the top in [Turns] 3 and 4. Knew if he was going to get the lead, he’d be hard to pass.”


McCreadie won the battle of the No. 9 cars on the closing laps to finish second, his best result since Feb. 12 at Volusia. Hoffman settled for third, which was enough to reclaim the points lead by five markers over Pierce. Daulton Wilson recorded his third top five of the year in fourth, while Ethan Dotson rounded out the top five.

Super DIRTCAR series

   

www.superdirtcarseries.com

The Super DIRTcar Series remains the premier traveling tour for Big Block Modifieds in the nation.

Each Super DIRTcar Series event follows a traditional short-track program including pre-race Hot Lap sessions, qualifying through Time Trials, Heat Races, and a Last Chance Showdown, all leading up to the 30-car Feature. The number of cars entered that night determines the number of preliminary races. The top 12 qualifiers in the heat races redraw for starting positions.

A MONEY START: Mat Williamson Opens Title Defense With Albany-Saratoga Victory

It’s the St. Catharines, ON driver’s 39th career Series win, tying Bob McCreadie

 

Joe Grabianowski

MALTA, NY (April 17, 2026) – It didn’t take long for Mat Williamson to show the rest of the field that the road to the Super DIRTcar Series championship still goes through him.

The St. Catharines, ON driver stormed past Matt Delorenzo on a Lap 28 restart and held on to win Friday’s 61st Season Opener at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.

Delorenzo, the SRI Performance and Stock Car Steel Award winner, took the early lead in the 61-lap Feature, using the inside lane to pull away from Williamson on the race’s opening lap. That advantage only lasted a few laps, though, as Mike Trautschold brought out the race’s first caution with a left front flat tire on Lap 4.

When the race resumed, Delorenzo took advantage again on the bottom and this time pulled away from the No. 88. “Matty D” was able to navigate through traffic with ease for 15 laps until another caution came out on Lap 22 for Alex Payne, who drove over the banking and spun in Turns 1 and 2.

That caution was the break that Williamson needed, as he made his move on the next restart. When the green came back out, Delorenzo ran the bottom in Turns 1 and 2, but went to the outside in Turns 3 and 4. Seeing Delorenzo go high, Williamson swapped lanes to the bottom and drove underneath the No. 3D to take the lead.

 “Money Mat” held the lead for two more restarts, but Delorenzo wouldn’t go away. As Williamson battled through traffic in the race’s closing laps, Delorenzo got within three car lengths while the three-time Series champion struggled to get by Tyler Dipple, a lap car.

With Delorenzo in striking distance, Williamson had to gain separation any way he could. As he entered Turn 3 with five laps to go, he had Jeremy Pitts and Dippel in front of him, with only the middle lane open. That’s exactly where Williamson went, driving by them both and sliding in front of Dippel’s No. 1 in the middle of the corner.

“It was just kind of knowing how much speed I was carrying,” Williamson said. “I got stuck behind the [Dippel], and there was somebody running the bottom. Tyler was pretty committed to the top. I saw “Matty D” poke his nose in (Turn) 4, so I threw a Hail Mary on the [Dippel] there, and I cleared him.

 

“I don’t know if I opened up there at the end, but I was on pins and needles.” 

From there, Williamson drove away to earn the $6,100 prize and his 39th career Super DIRTcar Series victory, tying him for seventh all-time with Bob McCreadie.

Williamson said he knew Delorenzo was close, as these two have battled for wins at the track before.

“It was a great race tonight,” Williamson said. “I appreciate him for racing me with a lot of respect there. When we got into traffic, I felt like I was catching him a little bit, but on his own, I think he was better than I was. Once you get in that dirty air, it’s tough with these Modifieds.”

Delorenzo, from Cropseyville, NY, crossed the line second, matching his best-career Super DIRTcar Series finish. He said he was happy to represent the weekly Albany-Saratoga field with a strong run.

“I’m with the best in the business here,” Delorenzo said. “I’m running one night a week as a weekend warrior here. That’s not too bad. He was a little bit better in traffic than me, and he was showing us some better lines. There wasn’t enough coming out of (Turn) 4 there to get anything. He was just sliding through, but I thought I was better in (Turns) 1 and 2 if I hit the hole right. Just came up a little bit short.”

Stewart Friesen rounded out the podium, while Jack Lehner finished fourth, and Jimmy Phelps rounded out the top five.

Snowfall, Lingering Rain Cancels Can-Am Weekend
 

LaFargeville, NY (April 7, 2026) – With heavy rain and snow over the past few days in LaFargeville, NY, leading to unfavorable track conditions at Can-Am Speedway, and weather models showing more rain and cold temperatures throughout the week, Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar Northeast, and track officials have canceled the Super DIRTcar Series portion of Thunder in the Thousand Islands weekend, and postponed the DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman Series events.

AJ Walters Opens DIRTcar Pro Stock Series With Jim Normoyle Memorial Win at Utica-Rome



 Joe Grabianowski

VERNON, NY (April 26, 2026) – It was a revolving door at the front of the field Sunday night at Utica-Rome Speedway. But after 47 laps, AJ Walters was the last man standing. 

The Newport, NY competitor held off several challenges to earn his first career DIRTcar Pro Stock victory in the Jim Normoyle Memorial. 

 

Walters, who drove a No. 7N car honoring Normoyle, took home $1,374 for the win and took home more than $2,000 between his winnings and bonuses. Six-time Pro Stock Series champion Pete Stefanski finished second, and Slater Baker closed out the podium.

 

“What a crazy event,” Walters said. “It was a long 47 laps to race up front and hold those guys off. The slightest mistake and you would lose a spot.” 

 

After whittling 48 international entries down to 30, AJ Walters redrew fifth to start the 47-lap Feature. His race began with a perfect view of Ivan Joslin, Luke Horning, Jocelyn Roy, and others battling it out for the lead. But before long, Walters found the low line had some extra bite. After battling side-by-side with Horning for multiple laps, Walters finally took the lead on Lap 30, and then it was his turn to defend. 

 

"That was nerve-racking,” Walters said. “You can’t miss your marks. You had to run a perfect race, a perfect line against this quality of drivers we have here tonight. To be able to pass some of those guys really showed we had something. A couple of those guys showed me the bottom, but there were a lot of good cars up on the top.”

 

Walters walked the bottom line right into the lead, and he pulled from experience to make the right adjustments and get it done. 

 

“It hasn’t been this slick in a long time,” Walters said.  “I had experience here weekly with it this slick back in 2017 and 2018. I was fortunate to have learned on the track we were given tonight.”

Stefanski finished second and said that compared to his Friday night at Utica-Rome, it was a win. 

 

“We had the motor let go on Friday,” Stefanski noted. “It was two races old. We went back to our old notes and old motor, and she was fast tonight.”  

 

The North Tonawanda, NY driver started back in twelfth but confidently picked off positions to get himself a shot at the win. The entire field was often involved in two and three-wide racing throughout the extended-length Feature. 

 

“It was close racing,” said third-place driver Slater Baker, from Gloversville, NY. “I knew I had nothing for AJ [Walters]. I was surprised I passed Luke [Horning]. It was slick tonight. Real slick.”
 UP NEXT: The DIRTcar Pro Stock Series heads to New York’s Capital Region for a stop at Albany-Saratoga Speedway on Friday, May 15.

 

Jim Normoyle Memorial (47 Laps): 1. 7N-AJ Walters[5]; 2. 2-Pete Stefanski[12]; 3. 9B-Slater Baker[6]; 4. 110-Devon Camenga[10]; 5. 2H-Luke Horning[3]; 6. 324-Jason Casey[22]; 7. 48-Jocelyn Roy[2]; 8. 14X-Scott Duell[16]; 9. 14-Kim Duell[21]; 10. 6-Shane Playford[9]; 11. 76-Kyle Hoard[14]; 12. 73-Bastien Caron[11]; 13. 15-Beau Ballard[7]; 14. 711-Rich Crane[23]; 15. 177-Chris Stalker[25]; 16. 13-George Cushman[15]; 17.

Brennan Moore Scores First Career DIRTcar Sportsman Series Victory at Can-Am
 Jessica Power finishes second, Tristan Ladouceur rounds out podium

Joe Grabianowski

  

LaFargeville, NY (April 24, 2026) – For the third time in the last four seasons, a first-time DIRTcar Sportsman Series winner took the checkered flag at Can-Am Speedway.

After Tyler Stevenson in 2023 and Eric Nier in 2024, Brennan Moore added his name to the Series record books, leading the final 12 laps to win Friday’s North Region opener.

Moore and defending Can-Am track champion Gavin Eisele brought the field to the green in the 30-lap Feature, with Moore taking the early advantage. That was short-lived, however, as a yellow flag for Caleb Howard and Trevor Gibbons slowed the field on Lap 2.

Eisele took advantage of that caution to wrestle the lead away from Moore on the restart, diving to the inside of the No. 35 to gain the position as they battled down the backstretch on Lap 3. Eisele tried to pull away from Moore, but once he reached lap traffic, it brought Moore back to the bumper of Eisele’s 18E.

Moore saw his chance when the bottom lane opened on Lap 19. The Elgin, ON driver powered underneath Eisele as they raced down the backstretch. However, Eisele found another opportunity to try to regain the lead. Eisele went to the outside lane in Turns 3 and 4, trying to use Greg Henry as a pick through traffic. But that allowed Moore to get away as he continued to hug the bottom.

“[Eisele] was missing the bottom off every corner, every lap,” Moore said. “And I knew that was where I was going to get him.”

Behind Moore, Eisele’s swing to the outside allowed Tristan Ladouceur and Jessica Power to close in on the runner-up spot. The three cars battled three-wide through Turns 3 and 4 with Eisele on the top, Ladouceur in the middle, and Power on the inside. It was the inside lane that won the battle, though, as Power’s momentum carried her past both to take over second with nine laps remaining. 

Moore couldn’t drive away from Power either, as a caution on Lap 23 for Logan Brown gave the Kingston, ON driver a chance at her first Can-Am Series win.

But when the race resumed, Power couldn’t get the momentum she needed, allowing Moore to hold on for his first career Series victory worth $1,000.

Late in the race, Moore said he was worried knowing that Power was behind him.

“The car was starting to go away,” Moore said. “And then we get a caution, and I see [Power] is behind me, and she started seventh, so I know she has a good car. I didn’t put very good tires on, and I could feel it going away at the end. I don’t know how we held on, but I’m glad we did.”

Power finished second after starting seventh, and Ladouceur rounded out Friday’s podium. Eisele finished fourth, and Richard Murtaugh crossed the line fifth.

UP NEXT: The DIRTcar Sportsman Series North Region heads to Brockville Ontario Speedway in Brockville, ON, on Saturday, June 20.

DIRTcar Sportsman Series Feature (30 Laps): 1. 35B-Brennan Moore[2]; 2. 52-Jessica Power[7]; 3. 92T-Tristan Ladouceur[5]; 4. 18-Gavin Eisele[1]; 5. 33-Richard Murtaugh[3]; 6.

ANDY'S HOUSE: Andy Bachetti Drives Backup Car to DIRTcar 358 Modified Series Win at Lebanon Valley
It's the Sheffield, MA driver's sixth career Series triumph

Joe Grabianowski

WEST LEBANON, NY (April 18, 2026) – In the first DIRTcar 358 Modified Series race at Lebanon Valley Speedway in almost two decades, it was one of the track’s most decorated drivers who stood in Victory Lane Saturday night.

Eleven-time 358 Modified track champion Andy Bachetti took the lead from Chris Raabe on Lap 18 and never looked back to win the $5,000 opening night prize.

However, Bachetti’s night was almost over before it started. In Hot Laps, the rear end broke on his primary car, forcing him to switch to a backup. With less than 30 minutes before Qualifying, his team got the car ready, and it paid off, as Bachetti earned the Pole for his Heat Race, won his Heat Race, and pulled a No. 2 pill in the redraw.

“This is for my whole team and everybody who works so hard,” Bachetti said. “They’re thinkers. They think so hard. They go after the right things, and that makes such a big difference, especially when a lot of people would’ve given up. But we don’t give up.”

Raabe led the field to the green in the 50-lap Feature, gaining an advantage over Bachetti on Lap 1. It wasn’t long before Bachetti made a bid for the lead, though, as he dove underneath the No. 01 on Lap 5. But Bachetti’s momentum wasn’t enough, as Raabe held on to the lead before the race’s first caution for Brett Haas in Turn 4. 

When the race resumed, Raabe continued his pace for a few laps before Bachetti tried to make another move. The “Wild Child” dove low again on Raabe, but the Alexandria, ON, driver shut the door. That didn’t deter Bachetti, though. When they entered Turns 3 and 4 on Lap 18, Bachetti powered underneath Raabe and slid in front of him to take the lead as they exited the corner.

That was all Bachetti needed to score his sixth career DIRTcar 358 Modified Series win.

With the Feature being the Lebanon Valley’s first 358 Modified race of the season, Bachetti said one of the challenges he faced was figuring out what his tires would do.

“It’s the first night on this speedway that we’ve really put laps down,” Bachetti said. “I just wasn’t sure about the tires and how good they were. I just wanted to be conservative in the beginning, and then I said, well, it’s time to go.”

Raabe settled for second, in his first-ever appearance at the “Valley of Speed.” He said his inexperience at the track played a role in knowing what to do while in the lead. 

“I really didn’t know where to run, and we were guessing there on tires,” Raabe said. “I’ll take a look at Andy’s tires to see what his were like, but I know mine were beat up pretty good.”

Mike Mahaney crossed the line third. Kyle Sheldon finished fourth, and Alex Payne rounded out the top five.

Defending Series champion Mat Williamson finished 29th after losing oil pressure in his No. 6 car during Hot Laps. With a guaranteed starting spot for the Feature, the St. Catharines, ON driver ran a few laps in Mike Engwer’s car before retiring from the event.

UP NEXT: The DIRTcar 358 Modified Series returns to action on Saturday, April 25, at Devils Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT.

HARTMAN'S VALLEY: Tim Hartman Jr. Scores DIRTcar Sportsman East Region Victory
It's the Niskayuna, NY driver's second career Series win

WEST LEBANON, NY (April 18, 2026) – After winning the Sportsman Feature in Lebanon Valley Speedway’s season opener last week, Tim Hartman Jr. didn’t let that momentum go to waste.

The Niskayuna, NY driver took the lead from A.J. Albreada on a Lap 6 restart and never looked back to win Saturday’s DIRTcar Sportsman Series East Region Feature.

Albreada led the field to the green in the 30-lap Feature, but behind him, Hartman didn’t waste any time going forward. “TH2,” who started seventh, went to the top and got to second by the time they completed Lap 1. 

“Everybody just kind of fought for the bottom going into (Turn) 1, and I figured, what the hell, I got 30 laps if this is a mistake,” Hartman said. “Just drive it in there and not lift. We came off of (Turn) 2, and I was second, and I almost had the lead in (Turn) 4. I couldn’t have asked for a better first lap.”

Hartman quickly tried to get by Albreada before a caution on Lap 5 slowed the field for the only time in the event. 

When the race resumed, it didn’t take long for Hartman to find a way past Albreada. With a swift move in Turns 3 and 4, Hartman slid in front of Albreada’s nose to take the lead.

From there, not even lap traffic would deter Hartman as he held off a late charge from Chris Crane Jr. to win his second career DIRTcar Sportsman Feature event.

Once he got the lead, Hartman said he was just making sure he hit his marks.

“We were back and forth there, and I was just trying to hit my marks,” Hartman said. “They said the 711 was coming, but he was going to have to wreck me because if I saw him, I was going to take his lane like it got taken away from me earlier in the race. But that’s just how you do it in a win in a $2,000-to-win show.”

Crane, who started fourth, got by Owen Lewis for second on Lap 26, but didn’t have enough to get to Hartman. The Canaan, CT, driver said he needed some help in lap traffic to beat the No. 22.

“He’s the best I’ve ever seen do it here in the Sportsman division,” Crane said. “When I was behind [Lewis] for that long stretch, I knew I was catching him, but noticed Tim wasn’t getting too far away. To be able to catch someone as good as he is, we’ve got a good piece here. I told my dad we’ve got to come back because we’re way too good right now.”

Lewis held on to third, Albreada finished fourth, and Craig Wholey rounded out the top five.

UP NEXT: The DIRTcar Sportsman Series East Region returns to action on Thursday, May 14 at Airborne Park Speedway, along with the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series.
