Pierce Collects Fourth Sharon Victory in Battle at the Border

Emily Schwanke

 

HARTFORD, OH (July 11, 2026) – Sharon Speedway has turned into Bobby Pierce‘s personal ATM.

The two-time champion of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision needed a few tries to crack the code at the Hartford, OH oval, but ever since he did, he’s been nearly unstoppable. His first two Sharon wins came in a weekend sweep of the 2024 Battle at the Border. He made it three in a row in the Friday portion of the 2025 event and was in position on Saturday for another sweep until Mike Marlar got around him.

A Friday rainout in 2026 meant Pierce only had one chance at a Sharon trophy this season, and he seized the opportunity to win for the fourth time at Sharon and the 17th time this season in World of Outlaws competition.

The first third of the race had Nick Hoffman out front as he tried to get back to Victory Lane for the first time in more than a month and put a dent in Pierce’s points lead. But Pierce was right behind him keeping the pressure on, forcing Hoffman to make the right moves once traffic became a factor.

When Hoffman drifted too high in Turn 2 and bounced on the cushion, Pierce was right there on the bottom ready to pounce. The pair drag raced down the backstretch before Pierce threw the slider in Turn 3 that moved him into the lead and ultimately won him the race. It was another dominant performance from Pierce the rest of the way, as he avoided any serious challenges to claim the 59th World of Outlaws win of his career.

“Earlier tonight, we were trying to find the balance,” Pierce said. “In the Feature, the car felt really balanced and really good. A couple tweaks we made throughout the night really helped. As I mentioned in the Redraw, the tire choice here is a really big thing. When we dropped the green flag, the top four cars all had completely different tires on them. It just goes to show that this racetrack gets really good when it’s like that because you never know what to do. I mean, I’ve won here on all sorts of different tire compounds, so I don’t really think that’s what won us the race, but I think we made the right call there.”

Hoffman and Ryan Gustin went back and forth for second throughout the Feature, but Hoffman prevailed at the end over Gustin in third. Behind them, Tim McCreadie and Tyler Erb completed the top five.

UP NEXT: The World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision contests the first of two back-to-back crown jewels with the Prairie Dirt Classic at Fairbury Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 24-25. Tickets will be available at the gate.

Wilson's First World of Outlaws Win Comes at Stateline in Rick Briggs Memorial

Emily Schwanke

BUSTI, NY (July 8, 2026) – Stateline Speedway has a knack for producing first-time winners.

The Busti, NY facility’s first two World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision races saw John Blankenship and Dick Barton score their first wins in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Last time the Series was in town in 2023, Nick Hoffman rolled into Victory Lane for the first time.

In 2026, it was Daulton Wilson’s turn.

“Big Perm” and his Big Frog/Viper Motorsports No. 58V team took on the World of Outlaws tour full-time in 2026 intending to win races against the best. He had several chances to do that early in the season, most notably at East Alabama Motor Speedway and Bedford Speedway, where he led a combined 66 laps before falling short on both occasions.

After showing plenty of speed in the spring, the summer schedule had been a grind for Wilson. Since finishing second at Bedford in mid-May, the Fayetteville, NC native only finished in the top 10 three times in 12 starts and recorded no top fives. Wilson needed a spark at Stateline, and he got everything he could have asked for.

The Rick Briggs Memorial powered by Dave Warren Powersports was simply a perfect night at the track for Wilson. He earned the Simpson Quick Time Award for the first time in his career and won his Heat Race to lock himself into the Redraw. He proceeded to pull the Bilstein Pole Award, and took advantage of that good fortune by leading all 40 circuits to become the 105th different winner in World of Outlaws history.

“It’s just awesome,” Wilson said. “We’ve had a good car all year. We’ve had some ups and downs, we’ve had our teeth kicked in and we’ve been good. It’s just awesome to finally get one done. Can’t thank Augie [Burttram] and Shawn [Martin] enough for giving me the opportunity and really putting this deal together for all of us.”

Behind Wilson, the other story of the race came in the form of Zack Mitchell, who finished second in his first start as the new driver of the G.R. Smith Motorsports No. 22*.

Nick Hoffman rounded out the podium in third for his sixth podium in the last seven races. Dave Hess Jr. finished fourth, while Bobby Pierce’s quest for a record-breaking seventh World of Outlaws win in a row ended in the fifth spot.

Weeklong Thunderstorms, Rain Cancel Gopher 50 at Deer Creek

SPRING VALLEY, MN (June 30, 2026) – With weather models showing thunderstorms and rainfall throughout the week and into the weekend in the Spring Valley, MN area, creating unfavorable conditions for racing at Deer Creek Speedway, World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision and track officials have agreed to cancel the NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50.

The decision was made keeping the best interests of traveling drivers and fans in mind, allowing them to make new plans for the special holiday weekend which honors America’s 250th birthday.

Pierce Completes Northern Swing Sweep With First Norman County Triumph

ADA, MN (June 30, 2026) – Bobby Pierce is rolling back to Oakwood, IL after a perfect northern swing.

The World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision contested six races over the past 11 days across Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. Winning one of them would be a dream for many teams, and winning a handful of them would be a realistic goal for one like Pierce’s. Instead, they won all six.

The first five of Pierce’s victories have come in all sorts of different fashions, from elbows-up battles to dominant showings and one cut short by a thunderstorm. Tuesday’s race at Norman County Raceway fell on the masterclass end of the spectrum.

The winner of both previous World of Outlaws races at Norman County, Nick Hoffman, started on the Bilstein Pole with Pierce on his outside. The high side was just fine for Pierce though, as he cleared the No. 9 off Turn 2 on the opening lap and powered away down the backstretch.

The rest of the race brought a familiar sight from the past two weeks – the No. 32 logging laps at the front of the field. There were times when slower traffic allowed his challengers to close in, but Pierce kicked it into overdrive in the late stages and eventually won by more than five seconds at the end of 50 laps.

It’s the second time in Pierce’s World of Outlaws career that he’s won six races in a row, a mark also achieved by Darrell Lanigan and Josh Richards. No one has ever won seven-straight, meaning Pierce will be chasing history next week at Stateline Speedway.

Norman County also put a bow on an unbelievable month of June for the Pierce camp. The “Smooth Operator” won 10 of the 11 races he entered, highlighted by his maiden Dirt Late Model Dream triumph at Eldora Speedway, and earned $271,500 in winnings. As far as his quest for a third World of Outlaws championship is concerned, Pierce’s advantage over Hoffman has ballooned to 76 points after it rarely grew larger than single digits in the first half of the season.

“This is just crazy,” Pierce said. “We’ve been on runs before and everything, but it’s been a heck of a run since we got this new car out at Eldora. It’s been a beast, man. I can’t do it without the help from everyone who helps me out. Whether that’s the fans for their support, my sponsors, my crew, my wife taking care of things back home while I’m out here racing. It just takes a lot.”

Hoffman finished second to go six-for-six in top fives on his trip north, while Ryan Gustin stood on the podium for the seventh time this season in third. Behind them, Tim McCreadie and Jonathan Davenport rounded out the top five.

Pierce Wins Rain-Shortened Nodak Feature for Fifth-Straight Victory

MINOT, ND (June 28, 2026) – Not even Mother Nature could put a damper on Bobby Pierce‘s winning ways.

Sunday night’s World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision Feature only lasted 38 of the 50 scheduled laps, but the result was the same as it’s been in the past four races – the No. 32 out front at the end.

The Oakwood, IL native proved that Nodak suited him in his first visit last year, when Pierce lost brakes but still finished second behind Tim McCreadie. With his left pedal functioning as it should this time, Pierce started this year’s race on the outside of the front row alongside Bilstein Pole Award winner Tyler Erb. In the first corner, all eyes were on third-starting Ethan Dotson, who slid up in front of Erb off Turn 2. That was when Pierce cut low underneath both of them to make it a three-wide race down the backstretch, which Pierce won to grab the lead.

That move turned out to the the winning one, as no one had anything for the “Smooth Operator” the rest of the way. Pierce’s lead grew as large as 3.5 seconds before it was erased by a caution, but he had no trouble staying out front on the restarts.

The dark clouds behind Turns 1 and 2 ramped up the sense of urgency, as drivers knew there was a good chance the race wouldn’t go the full distance. Pierce remained out front when the yellow flew for a the slowing No. 55E car of Eli Johnson, and with lightning in the area, the race was put on pause. Heavy rain moved in moments later, forcing Series officials to deem the race official with 38 laps complete.

The win was Pierce’s fifth in a row and his 15th of the season with the World of Outlaws, which makes 2026 the winningest season of his career with the Series with more than four months of racing still remaining. The single-season World of Outlaws win record stands at 18, a number achieved by Josh Richards in 2016 and Brandon Sheppard in 2017 and 2019. With Norman County Raceway coming up on Tuesday followed by three nights at Deer Creek Speedway next weekend, Pierce has a chance to rewrite history by the end of next week.

Behind Pierce, Nick Hoffman got around McCreadie nine laps before the stoppage to finish second and keep the points damage to a minimum. McCreadie still earned a podium spot with an impressive 15th-to-third charge, while Dennis Erb Jr. and Tyler Erb completed the top five.

Zack Mitchell Joining G.R. Smith Motorsports Full-Time With World of Outlaws

 Emily Schwanke

CONCORD, NC (July 7, 2026) – Zack Mitchell has reached a deal with G.R. Smith Motorsports to become the new driver of the No. 22* on tour with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision.

The new pairing will debut on Wednesday night at Stateline Speedway, with plans to continue through the remainder of the 2026 season and beyond.

The move comes after Drake Troutman‘s departure from the team on June 23. Smith partnered with Jake Timm for four races in Minnesota and North Dakota to continue earning owners points while the team evaluated its long-term future. G.R. Smith Motorsports sits sixth in the owners standings entering Stateline, four points behind Cooney Motorsports in fifth.

“First and foremost, I want to thank Jake Timm for stepping in and taking that role and getting us through the northern swing,” Smith said. “I got to know him a lot better over the last two weeks. Great kid, great people, I told him that I’d like to help him out in the future. Just the proximity of Minnesota to North Carolina is a long distance, and getting the equipment primarily back to North Carolina, it was important for me to run out of our shop.

“[Mitchell] is the best kept secret that the national level doesn’t know about. He’s the guy to beat in [the southeast], right? If you get Zack in the south, if you look at his stats per starts, he’s a true wheel man. To be in a situation at this time of year and to have a talent like Zack available, it got me excited to go racing again. I have a lot of respect for Zack. I’ve gotten to follow his racing career closer than most people on the national level just because of where we live. Finished second to him many a time, wishing that he was somewhere else racing when I was a driver and finishing second to him. He’s definitely a talented shoe, and I think he’s ready at this stage of his life to tackle a World of Outlaws national tour.”

One of the top regional racers in the Carolinas in recent seasons, Mitchell is getting his first chance to compete full-time at the national level as part of Smith’s operation. The Enoree, SC driver is a four-time Ultimate Super Late Model Series champion, the 2017 champion of the Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series, and he was in contention for the 2026 Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series title prior to partnering with Smith to go World of Outlaws racing.

“I gave [Smith] a call, and you know, we talked for about an hour and a half,” Mitchell said. “Kind of what he was looking for, kind of what I was looking for. We just came to an agreement that we think this would be a a pretty good deal. He put all his eggs in the basket and so did I.

Northeast Trip Features Midweek Stateline Return, Sharon Doubleheader

Emily Schwanke

 

CONCORD, NC (July 6, 2026) – Following two busy weeks in the upper Midwest, the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision is heading back toward the east coast.

Three race nights are on this week’s agenda, starting with a return to Stateline Speedway after three years away. The Rick Briggs Memorial powered by Dave Warren Powersports brings the Series to Busti, NY on Wednesday, July 8, for a 40-lap, $15,000-to-win, main event.

Teams will have Thursday off before the annual midsummer visit to Sharon Speedway for the Battle at the Border on Friday and Saturday, July 10-11. Drivers will race 40 laps for $12,000 in Friday’s lid lifter before Saturday’s finale, which pays $20,000 to the winner after 60 laps.

Joining the World of Outlaws on the card will be the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and Pro Stocks at Stateline and UMP Modifieds at Sharon.

Here are this week’s top storylines:

CHASING HISTORY: Bobby Pierce will have the opportunity at Stateline to do something no one has ever done in 25 seasons of World of Outlaws racing.

A victory on Wednesday would be his seventh in a row, breaking the record for the longest win streak in Series history. The mark to beat stands at six, a number first achieved by Darrell Lanigan in 2012, then by Pierce in 2024 before he did it again this season with six-straight wins in the upper Midwest.

Pierce’s remarkable run dating back to his first Dirt Late Model Dream triumph a month ago has his margin atop the World of Outlaws standings up to 76 points, leaving him in prime position in the chase for a third Series championship. The upcoming schedule features plenty of chances for Pierce to further expand his advantage by the end of summer. He finished third in his only prior start at Stateline, but the four events after that – the Battle at the Border, Prairie Dirt Classic, USA Nationals and the Hawkeye 100 – are all races Pierce has won in the past two years.

BACK WHERE IT BEGAN: Last time the World of Outlaws were at Stateline, first-year World of Outlaws driver Nick Hoffman rolled into Victory Lane for the first time on the national Late Model stage.

Since then, the Modified legend and his Tye Twarog Racing operation have become a top-five team in the country, one that can contend for wins everywhere they go and kept pace with Pierce in the points through the first half of the season. The only thing Hoffman hasn’t done in the past few weeks is win, and that will need to change soon if he wants to get back in the thick of championship contention.

In six races up north, Hoffman finished second four times and never ran worse than fourth. Those numbers will win you a championship in many cases, but not when you’re chasing Pierce when he’s at the top of his game.

Hoffman is obviously fond of Stateline, but Sharon will be the place where he’ll need to make improvements to avoid losing more ground in the standings. He’s finished fifth there three times in seven starts, but his other four starts have all ended outside the top five, including a 12th in 2024 and an 18th in 2025.

WELCOME HOME: Stateline isn’t exactly right down the street from Tim McCreadie’s hometown of Watertown, NY, but Wednesday will be the closest thing to a home game he’ll get all season.

McCreadie’s history at Stateline isn’t the best though, with results of 19th, 12th and 21st in three World of Outlaws appearances, although the most recent one came back in 2013. Aside from its location in McCreadie’s home state, Stateline will be a big night all around for Briggs Transport Racing. The race honors the late Rick Briggs, father of team owner Boom Briggs, and the team’s primary sponsor, Dave Warren Powersports, has played a key role in getting Stateline back on the World of Outlaws schedule.

Over at Sharon, he has a win to his credit from 2005 and more recently finished sixth and seventh in two starts last year.

SETTLING IN: The northern swing brought Trey Mills one of his best stretches yet as a national Late Model racer.

The 18-year-old’s 2026 campaign has featured several spectacular moments, like starting on the pole at the Dream and racing for the win at Golden Isles Speedway until he tumbled out of the ballpark, but he’s also been through his share of rough nights in between.

In his trip north, Mills strung together six-straight runs in the top 11. It wasn’t flashy or attention-grabbing, but that kind of quiet consistency is exactly what Mills has been looking for at this stage of his career to gain experience and respect from the World of Outlaws frontrunners. It also paid dividends in the points hunt, as Mills is up to eighth in the standings, 51 markers shy of Daulton Wilson in the MD3 Rookie of the Year battle.

Both World of Outlaws freshmen will be flying blind this week, as neither Mills nor Wilson have ever been to Stateline or Sharon.

TURNING HEADS: Logan Zarin may be too far back to catch the two rookies in front of him, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of finishing his first season at the national level off strong.

The Hookstown, PA driver has taken plenty of lumps on the road in 2026, but the team has remained positive and logged notes as they look toward the future. But last weekend, the No. 1Z team finally got to enjoy some fruits of their labor. The NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50 cancelation opened the door for Zarin to spend Independence Day at Muskingum County Speedway for the Freedom 50, and he was rewarded with a sixth-place finish, the best of his career in a full-field, national-touring event.

Luckily for Zarin, the schedule gives him an ideal chance to potentially improve on that run this week. After months of going to tracks for the first time, the World of Outlaws is going to two tracks Zarin knows well. He’s made two starts at Stateline in a Crate Late Model with the RUSH Series along with a Last Chance Showdown exit with the World of Outlaws in 2023. Sharon is where Zarin has made six World of Outlaws starts in nine attempts, with a best Feature finish of 14th from 2021.

TOP FIVE STORYLINES: Massive Minnesota Week Includes Norman County Ahead of Deer Creek's Gopher 50

CONCORD, NC (June 29, 2026) – The northern swing has reached the home stretch.

The World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision has spent the past two weeks traveling across the upper Midwest, stopping at five different tracks across Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. Two more “Gopher State” facilities remain, including the state’s biggest dirt track event.

First up is Norman County Raceway on Tuesday, June 30, which will welcome the World of Outlaws for the third year in a row for a $20,000-to-win night. From there, it’s off to Deer Creek Speedway for a three-day celebration of America’s 250th birthday.

The NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50 once again serves as the Series’ Independence Day weekend tradition on Thursday-Saturday, July 2-4. Drivers will be racing for $10,000 on Thursday and Friday and $40,000 on Saturday, while fans also have fireworks, concerts, autograph sessions and other off-track activities to look forward to.

Joining the World of Outlaws this week will be IMCA Stock Cars at Norman County, plus the Tri-State Late Model Series and USRA Modifieds at Deer Creek.

Here are this week’s top storylines:

BLAZING HOT BOBBY: The word ‘dominant’ hardly does justice to Bobby Pierce’s run up north.

Ever since they unloaded at 141 Speedway to start the northern swing, the No. 32 team have been nothing short of perfect. It doesn’t matter if the Series goes to a track Pierce has won at before, one he hasn’t been to in several years, or one he historically struggles at, he ends up in Victory Lane just the same.

Over the past five races, Pierce has collected five trophies, led 181 of the 218 completed laps and pocketed $79,000 for his efforts. But his reign of terror goes back further than that. Since his preliminary night at the Dirt Late Model Dream 25 days ago, Pierce has won nine times in 10 starts and made more than a quarter of a million dollars.

Pierce’s Nodak victory on Sunday was his 15th of the season with the World of Outlaws, pushing 2026 past his own personal record of 14 wins in 2023 with more than four months of racing left to add to his total. The World of Outlaws record is 18 wins in a single season, a number achieved by Josh Richards in 2016 and Brandon Sheppard in 2017 and 2019. If Pierce can keep his hot streak going, he stands a chance of rewriting history with plenty of room to spare.

Norman County hasn’t been a good track for Pierce in the past – he finished 22nd there in 2024 and seventh in 2025 – but bad prior results haven’t meant much as of late. Deer Creek is a different story, as Pierce is a two-time Gopher 50 champion from 2023 and 2024 and has two other World of Outlaws wins at the track.

STORMIN’ AT NORMAN: Nick Hoffman has gotten sick of watching Pierce roll into Victory Lane night after night, and Norman County could be the place for him to trade places.

Hoffman won both of the track’s two previous World of Outlaws races, although they came under very different circumstances. In 2024, three different leaders all had problems out front, which opened the door for Hoffman to score the win. His destiny was in his own hands the whole way last year though, as he led all 50 laps to go back-to-back.

Deer Creek has also been good to Hoffman, as he won the Friday portion of the 2025 Gopher 50 and has finished sixth or better in his last five World of Outlaws starts there. With five top fives in five starts so far in the upper Midwest, Hoffman will be ready to capitalize on any slip-up out of Pierce to earn win number seven of the season.

T-MAC BACK ON TRACK: If the next winner not named Pierce isn’t Hoffman, it could easily be the other No. 9 car in the field.

Tim McCreadie has taken his lumps in the first half of his second season with Briggs Transport Racing, but the team has been more consistent over the past three weeks than they have been all year. The 2006 World of Outlaws champion is riding a seven-race top-10 streak dating back to the Friday program at West Virginia Motor Speedway, with three of those being podium runs.

Those results have McCreadie back to fourth in the points standings leaving North Dakota. This week’s agenda will have him looking to improve on a 10th-place finish last year at Norman County before traveling south to Deer Creek, where he won the Gopher 50 in 2010. More recently, McCreadie finished fifth on Thursday night at the 2025 event and was running third on Friday until he was caught in a multi-car pileup on the frontstretch.

McCreadie will also be trying to build some momentum ahead of next week, which includes a rare chance to race in his home state of New York at Stateline Speedway, as well as two nights at Sharon Speedway, where he’s a past World of Outlaws winner.

REPEATING HISTORY: The story of Dennis Erb Jr.’s 2025 season was a slow start followed by a turnaround starting in mid-June. The first 34 races of 2026 have been a different verse of the same song.

The Carpentersville, IL native started the season with a pair of top fives during DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals, but what followed was a trying stretch of races when top 10s were few and far between. A runner-up at West Virginia was the spark that Erb needed, and that night was the start of seven-race run that has included five top-six finishes.

Last season’s plot culminated with a return to Victory Lane in October at Humboldt Speedway, and Erb plans to ensure his 2026 campaign goes the same way. The statistics say it could happen this week, as Erb stood on the podium at both Norman County and Deer Creek one year ago.

HOME TRACK HERO: Dustin Sorensen’s favorite week of the year is here.

The Rochester, MN driver always has the Gopher 50 circled on his calendar as his chance to go World of Outlaws racing at the track he grew up at. Sorensen’s earliest memories in racing involve watching his dad, Mike, race from the grandstands before making his own rise through Deer Creek’s Modified ranks.

Prior to joining the World of Outlaws full-time, Deer Creek was the place where Sorensen introduced himself to the national Late Model scene with a third-place run in 2023. Sorensen is on the shortlist of potential first-time winners, and he’s found more ways to lose a World of Outlaws race than he cares to admit. Should his breakthrough moment come at home this weekend, the scene after the race would be one the Deer Creek fans will never forget.

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.

THE BANDIT RIDES AGAIN: Jimmy Phelps Holds Off Stewart Friesen For Summer Shootout Win at Mohawk
Mat Williamson finishes third, cuts Alex Yankowski's points lead to four points

AKWESASNE, NY (July 8, 2026) – Almost two years to the day since his last Super DIRTcar Series win, Jimmy Phelps delivered another memorable performance.

The Baldwinsville, NY driver led all 60 laps of Wednesday’s Summer Shootout at Mohawk International Raceway, holding off Stewart Friesen in traffic to earn his first Super DIRTcar Series win since 2024.

“It feels great,” Phelps said. “You never know when the next one’s coming, or if it’s coming. To do it here, where we’ve had some success, these fans are the greatest, and I can’t thank everyone enough.”

Phelps was eager at the drop of the green flag, diving into Turn 1 on the opening lap and sliding in front of SRI Performance and Stock Car Steel Pole award winner Michael Parent to take the lead. He quickly pulled away from Parent’s No. 25P for the first three laps before the race’s first caution flew on Lap 3 for Tyler Dippel.

When the race resumed, Phelps dove to the inside again and slid up in front of Parent in Turns 1 and 2 to maintain the lead. However, that opened the inside lane for Stewart Friesen, whose momentum carried him past Parent on the inside lane for second.

Friesen tried to stay with Phelps, but the No. 98H pulled away in clean air, opening almost a two-second lead. Just as Phelps caught the tail of the field, though, the race’s second caution flew for David Hebert, who spun in Turn 2.

That put Friesen outside of Phelps on the restart. But like with Parent on the last two green flags, Phelps was better through the corner and drove away from the No. 44 on the backstretch. Friesen had another chance on a lap 41 restart, but again Phelps pulled away to a two-second advantage.

However, as the laps wound down, the “Baldwinsville Bandit” had another obstacle to overcome—lap traffic. Phelps caught the back of the field with eight laps to go, putting him right behind a battle between Hebert, Paul Mancini, and Ryan Krachun, who were racing for position and trying to stay on the lead lap.

Knowing Friesen was behind him, Phelps had to make a move. As he drove through Turns 3 and 4 on Lap 53, Phelps powered his Bicknell Chassis through the middle of the track, sandwiching himself between Hebert and Mancini. And by the time he reached Turn 3 on Lap 54, he had all three drivers cleared, gaining separation from Friesen.

From there, Phelps drove away from Friesen in the final few laps to win his 23rd career Super DIRTcar Series Feature, tying Steve Paine and Tim McCreadie for 13th on the Series all-time wins list.

Phelps said he took a lesson from the Heat Race to help him earn the $6,000 prize.

“We learned that we didn’t quite have what we needed,” Phelps said. “(Tim) Fuller definitely put it to us there a little bit. So, we went back to work.

“On the original green I thought we were in trouble with how much they worked on the top. But the bottom of (Turn) 4 was still really good to fire off of. We were able to roll in underneath and clear (Parent). At that point, we were committed to at least firing off the bottom of (Turn) 4. We were just fortunate that lap traffic went our way there. And let me tell you, this car was really, really good.”

Friesen settled for second, and for the Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON driver, the race ended just in time. He stopped on the backstretch after the checkered flag came out with a blown motor.

Despite the issues at the end, Friesen said he had another great car.

“Congrats to Jimmy,” Friesen said. “He was on point. We got close to him in traffic and was working the track a little bit. We tried a little something on the top of (Turns) 1 and 2, and it wasn’t quite there. But he had a great racecar tonight and drove a hell of a race.”

Williamson closed out Wednesday’s podium after starting eighth. The St. Catharines, ON driver leaves Mohawk four points out of the Series points lead behind Alex Yankowski, who finished eighth.

“Alex has been really good, so for us to talk about a championship right now is probably a little premature,” Williamson said. “I’d rather be the chaser than the one getting chased. 

“We kind of gambled on a tire tonight, and obviously the redraw put us in the back. But my guys made great decisions all night.”

Alex Payne crossed the line fourth, and Jackson Gill, from Plessis, NY, rounded out the top five.

UP NEXT: The Super DIRTcar Series returns to Canada for the highly anticipated King of the North at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, QC on July 20-21.

tewart Friesen Earns 56th Career Super DIRTcar Series Win at Cornwall
Alex Payne finishes second, increases lead to 17 points in standings

joe Grabianowski

LONG SAULT, ON (July 7, 2026) – Since the summer portion of the Super DIRTcar Series schedule began, no one has been able to stop Stewart Friesen.

That didn’t change on Tuesday at Cornwall Motor Speedway, as the Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON driver led the final 67 laps to win the O’Canada 75—his fourth Series win of 2026.

“What a great race car,” Friesen said. “I knew it was pretty good when we unloaded. Just needed to give a couple of tweaks to what it needed.”

Kevin Hamel, the SRI Performance and Stock Car Steel Pole Award winner, led the field to the green in the 75-lap Feature. The Cornwall regular outdueled defending race-winner Mario Clair to Turn 1 to gain the early advantage.

Behind Hamel, Friesen wasted no time moving into second, sneaking underneath Clair’s No. 124 one lap later to gain the position.

Hamel stayed in front of Friesen for the race’s first five laps. However, his advantage was negated on Lap 6 when Matt Caprara brought out the first of the event’s four yellow flags.

With lane choice on the restart as the leader, Hamel put his No. 13 on the outside, which gave Friesen the bottom. But when the race resumed on Lap 9, Friesen powered underneath him through Turns 1 and 2 to take the lead.

From there, Friesen aced three more restarts and easily moved through lap traffic to earn the $7,500 prize and his 56th career Super DIRTcar Series victory. His triumph puts him one win behind Alan Johnson for fifth on the Series all-time wins list.

While Friesen led most of the Feature, there was a point in the race when he said he wasn’t sure where to be on the track.

“What a track,” Friesen said. “Holy smokes. It was like all four seasons. We had some bite and grip, and then it got polished right off at the end. I kind of got lost in the middle of the race and didn’t know what lane to be in, but we found a sweet spot in the middle.”

Series points leader Alex Yankowski finished second, continuing his consistent season with his fourth podium. The Covington Township, PA driver, who started seventh, battled with three-time defending Series champion Mat Williamson for more than 20 laps before ultimately gaining the position.

With that finish, Yankowski increased his points lead to 17 over Williamson, who crossed the line fourth.

Alex Payne rounded out the podium, reaching third in the race’s closing laps from 19th. The Hopewell, NY driver passed Williamson with two laps to go to grab the spot after picking off cars one-by-one on the outside lane.

Hamel finished fifth, earning his best Super DIRTcar Series finish.

Up Next: The Super DIRTcar Series visits Mohawk International Raceway on Wednesday, July 8, for the Summer Shootout. Drivers will battle in a 60-lap Feature paying $6,000-to-win.

FULLER'S LEGENDARY NIGHT: Tim Fuller Holds Off Alex Payne For Land of Legends Victory
Alex Yankowski finishes fourth, extends Series points lead to 14 over Mat Williamson

joe Grabianowski

CANANDAIGUA, NY (July 3, 2026) – At age 58, Tim Fuller proved he still knows the path to Super DIRTcar Series Victory Lane.

The Edwards, NY driver led every lap of Thursday’s Stars and Stripes Spectacular at Land of Legends Raceway, holding off Alex Payne on multiple restarts to score his 37th career Series victory.

“(The) pinnacle at this point in my career,” Fuller said. “I’m 58, and I got kids behind me. And [Payne] there, I knew he was in second the whole time. Just to be able to hold him off was good in itself.

“To think I’d come here and win a Series race a few years after the last one is hard to believe.”

Fuller, the SRI Performance at Stock Car Steel Pole Award winner, led the field to the green in the 60-lap battle, outdueling Land of Legends regular Justin Haers to lead the race’s opening lap. Haers challenged Fuller for the first five laps of the race, using the inside lane  to try to wrestle the lead away.

Behind the top two, Payne started moving toward the front, working the outside lane to storm past Peter Britten for third on Lap 4. 

After the race’s first caution for Mike Trautschold on Lap 6, Payne took advantage of the restart. As Payne battled Haers for second, the Hopewell, NY driver switched lanes to the bottom and used momentum exiting Turn 4 to grab second on Lap 9.

Payne followed Fuller for the next 13 laps but wouldn’t get an opportunity at the lead until Gary Lindberg brought out the race’s second caution on Lap 22.

On the restart, Fuller chose the inside lane, and Payne took advantage, nosing ahead of the No. 19 as they raced down the backstretch. However, the pass was negated due to a caution for Ryan Krachun, who stopped in Turns 1 and 2.

From there, Fuller chose the outside for the remainder of the race, a decision that proved vital to earning the $6,076 prize.

Despite losing out on the first opportunity, Payne got another chance on a restart with 18 laps to go. When the green came back out, Payne thundered ahead of Fuller and looked as though he had finally vanquished his adversary. 

But the yellow immediately came back out, as Series officials deemed Payne jumped the start.

Fuller wouldn’t let Payne get that close again, though, as he got a monstrous run off Turn 4 when the race resumed, pulling ahead of the No. 70A for good.

“When my tire cooled down, I thought I was really good,” Fuller said. “Once it got hot, it just kind of stabilized out, but I figured they did, too. I’ve watched Alex run here for the last three or four years, and he’s turned it on the last couple. He had my attention. I peeled off all my tear-offs and said I’m not just going to hand it over, and we got it done.”

Payne settled for second, earning his best Series finish of 2026 and best Series finish at Land of Legends.

In Victory Lane, Payne admitted he jumped the restart, and said he hoped he’d be able to use Turn 4 to pass the veteran.

“That sure wasn’t for a lack of effort,” Payne said. “Man, that was close. That was all we had. Just not much I could’ve done. I thought the restarts could’ve played a little better, and the one restart I jumped a little bit. But there’s no shame to finish second to that guy. I’ve got about five of his Matchbox cars in my room.

“Off of (turn) 4, there was really nothing to grab onto when we fired. And once he realized that, it kind of took my shot away.”

Matt Sheppard crossed the line third, earning his fourth consecutive top five finish. 

Alex Yanowski finished fourth after starting 14th. The Covington Township, PA driver faced adversity to earn that finish, starting at the back of his Heat Race after he didn’t go over the scales after Qualifying.

“Kid Rocket” leaves with a 14-point lead over Mat Williamson, who finished 10th.

Peter Britten earned his second straight Series top five with a fifth-place finish.

Super DIRTcar Series Tackles First Two-Night Swing of 2026 With Stops at Cornwall, Mohawk

Brody Plotz

LONG SAULT, ON (July 6, 2026) – For the first time in 2026, the Super DIRTcar Series will battle on back-to-back nights with stops in Canada and the United States.

The Beasts of the Northeast kick off the two-night midweek swing at Cornwall Motor Speedway in Long Sault, ON, on Tuesday, July 7, for the O’Canada 75. Drivers will battle in a 75-lap Feature paying $7,500-to-win.

Then, the Series heads back to the United States for a trip to Mohawk International Raceway on Wednesday, July 8, for the Summer Shootout. Wednesday’s battle will be a 60-lap Feature paying $6,000-to-win.

How can you watch the Super DIRTcar Series? Live on DIRTVision.

Here’s a look at what to watch for at Cornwall and Mohawk:

Kid Rocket’s Return: After a fourth-place finish at Land of Legends Raceway last week, Alex Yankowski returns to a place he’s already found success in 2026, this time with the Series points lead.

The Covington Township, PA driver won this season’s earlier stop at Cornwall in May, edging out Mat Williamson for the victory. He has a 14-point lead over the three-time defending Series champion entering this week’s doubleheader. 

Yankowski has made three starts at Cornwall, earning a win, two top fives, and two top 10s. He’s only made two starts in his career at Mohawk, finishing fourth in last year’s Summer Shootout.

Williamson, who finished second at Cornwall in May, has seven wins at the track in 39 starts. However, he’s searching for his first Series victory at the 1/4-mile bullring. At Mohawk, the St. Catharines, ON driver has three wins in 18 starts, along with seven top fives and nine top 10s.

A win by “Money Mat” this week will be his 40th Series victory.

A Different Look: At this week’s stops at Cornwall and Mohawk, two drivers will have a different look when they unload their Big Blocks.

Tuesday’s race at Cornwall will be the first time we’ve seen Felix Roy drive the Paille Course Racing No. ONE car since the last stop at the track in May. It was a good Super DIRTcar Series debut for “Hollywood” in the iconic orange car, driving to a podium finish.

Roy, from Napierville, QC, has six wins at Cornwall along with 18 top fives and 24 top 10s in 32 starts. At Mohawk, Roy has a top five and six top 10s in eight starts.

Another driver who’ll have a different look is 10-time Series champion Matt Sheppard, who will drive the Bob and Randy Slack-owned No. 3RS at both events. 

Sheppard has found plenty of success at Cornwall in his career, with eight wins, 14 top fives and 22 top 10s in 25 starts. That includes Series victories in 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The Savannah, NY driver’s fourth-place finish at Cornwall in May kick-started a run of four consecutive Super DIRTcar Series top fives, vaulting him to third in points—42 points behind Yankowski.

A win at Cornwall this weekend would tie Sheppard with Brett Hearn for the most Series wins at the track (5).

“Super Matt” has also been victorious at Mohawk, earning six wins, 15 top fives and 19 top 10s in 20 starts. Sheppard is a three-time Series winner at the 4/10-mile track, winning in 2010, 2013, and 2014.

Stew is Back: The last two times the Super DIRTcar Series stars battled against Stewart Friesen, it was the Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON driver who stood in Victory Lane at Lebanon Valley Speedway and Ransomville Speedway.

He also won last year’s Summer Shootout at Mohawk, taking the lead from Yankowski early in the race. In seven starts at Mohawk, Friesen has three wins, four top fives, and six top 10s.

Friesen has also found success at Cornwall, winning twice and earning three top fives and five top 10s.  His lone Series win at Cornwall came in 2016.

Canadian Flair: Tuesday night’s race at Cornwall begins a stretch of five consecutive races where several drivers from Canada are expected to join the Super DIRTcar Series field.

One of those drivers is former Super DIRTcar Series winner Michael Parent. The Granby, QC driver finished fifth during May’s stop at Cornwall and already knows what it takes to beat the Super DIRTcar Series starts. His lone Series win came at Autodrome Drummond in 2024 when he won the first night of the King of the North.

While Parent hasn’t scored a win at either Cornwall or Mohawk, David Hebert has reached Victory Lane at both tracks on multiple occasions. 

The St. Damase, QC driver, known as the “Great Canadian Champion,” has 10 victories at Cornwall in 123 starts, including one earlier this season. He’s also earned two wins at Mohawk in 17 Features.

Super DIRTcar Series Celebrating America's Birthday With Stars and Stripes Spectacular at Land of Legends

CANANDAIGUA, NY (JUNE 30, 2026) – An annual Fourth of July weekend tradition continues this week as the Super DIRTcar Series prepares to bring fireworks and an America 250 celebration to the Finger Lakes.

The Beasts of the Northeast head to Land of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua, NY, on Thursday, July 2, for the Stars and Stripes Spectacular. Drivers will battle in a 76-lap Feature paying $6,076-to-win.

Joining the Super DIRTcar Series are the CRSA Sprint Cars.

Along with the action on the track, Land of Legends will also induct former official John Schrader and former driver Scott Schrader onto its Wall of Fame.

How can you watch the Super DIRTcar Series? Live on DIRTVision.

Here’s a look at what to watch for at Land of Legends:

A Pivotal Stop: Last season’s Stars and Stripes Spectacular was a pivotal point on the road to Mat Williamson’s 2025 Series title. The St. Catharines, ON driver wrestled the points lead away from Alex Yankowski with a win and then never relinquished it.

This season, Williamson finds himself in the same position, trailing Yankowski by three points entering Thursday’s race.

“Money Mat” already has two wins at the track this season and leads the track’s points standings. He’s also won the last three Super DIRTcar Series Features at Land of Legends.  Overall, he’s won 13 times at the Canandaigua, NY dirt track, adding 40 top fives and 54 top 10s. 

A win on Thursday would be his 40th Series victory, breaking a tie with Bob McCreadie for seventh on the all-time wins list.

Yankowski, meanwhile, will make his sixth start at the 1/2-mile track. The Covington Township, PA driver has two top fives and three top 10s in five starts at Land of Legends. However, both top fives, including a runner-up finish in 2024, are in his last two Series starts.

If “Kid Rocket” reaches Victory Lane on Thursday, it’ll be his seventh Series win at seven different tracks.

Super Consistency: Since a 28th-place finish at Georgetown Speedway in May, 10-time Series champion Matt Sheppard has quietly moved into third in the Series standings, trailing Yankowski by 46 points.

The Savannah, NY driver has been the most consistent of the top three drivers over the past three races, earning three consecutive top fives, including a second last week at Ransomville Speedway. Sheppard’s been successful at Land of Legends throughout his career, winning on 96 occasions in a Modified and eight times with the Super DIRTcar Series. Along with the wins, he has 218 top fives and 283 top 10s. 

“Super Matt” is aiming for his 104th Series triumph.

Home in Canandaigua: Along with Sheppard and Williamson, full-time Super DIRTcar Series drivers Alex Payne, Jimmy Phelps, Mike Trautschold, and Marcus Dinkins also call Land of Legends home every Saturday night.

Out of those four competitors, Payne has had the best season at the track so far with three top fives and four top 10s in four starts. Overall, the Hopewell, NY driver has five wins, 31 top fives, and 50 top 10s at the track. In Super DIRTcar Series competition, the “Slidejob Express” has finished in the top 10 in each of his last four starts, including back-to-back fourths.

Phelps, meanwhile, has eight wins at the track in his career, along with 58 top fives and 95 top 10s. He’s finished in the top 10 in five of his last seven Series starts, including a third-place finish on two occasions in 2022 and 2024. The Baldwinsville, NY driver also has a DIRTcar 358 Modified Series win at the track in 2008.

Trautschold and Dinkins will be on the hunt for their first Series win.

The Land of Legends: In addition to the Super DIRTcar Series drivers looking for a home win at Land of Legends, there will be a stout group of track regulars with the same objective.

That group is led by Peter Britten, who earned his first Land of Legends win of the season last Saturday, and the 17th of his career. Britten is a five-time Series winner after victories at Volusia Speedway Park and Weedsport Speedway in 2025.

Joining Britten is veteran Land of Legends driver Justin Haers, who narrowly missed out on a win in the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 at Super DIRT Week last year. The Phelps, NY driver, and reigning Gerald Haers Memorialwinner, is a 22-time Feature winner at the track. 

“T-Bone” already has two Series top fives this season, both coming at Volusia.

Other than Britten, the only driver to beat Williamson at Land of Legends this season is Nick Root, who’s aiming to make his first Super DIRTcar Series start. The Geneva, NY driver, who just graduated from high school last week, earned his first career win at the track earlier this year and has momentum after a win at Utica-Rome Speedway last Friday.

Zack Daniels Wins DIRTcar Pro Stock Series Duel at Mohawk

joe Grabianowski

AKWESASNE, NY (JULY 8, 2026) – DIRTcar Pro Stock Series drivers Zack Daniels and Dakota Sharp battled side-by-side in front of the Mohawk International Raceway crowd before Daniels made the final move to collect his first career Series win. 

The tenacious Tommy Lizotte snuck into second place while Sharp settled for third after a long battle for the lead. 

 

“This feels great,” Daniels said. “I’ve been trying to win one of these big checks for three years now. The car was decent until I hit a yuke tire on Lap 8, and I had my hands full. I could hook the bottom, and this thing was digging.”

 

Spaced-out caution periods allowed Sharp, who started fourth, and pole-sitter Daniels to swap the lead throughout the race. Single-file laps were rare for the leaders throughout the 35-lap Feature. 

 

“I want to thank Dakota [Sharp] for racing me clean,” Daniels said. “That was awesome. I never thought I’d win against some of these names, but here we are.”

 

Second-place finisher Tommy Lizotte, out of La Pocatiere, QC, quietly made his way up to the front from ninth. Lizotte suffered a hard crash at Cornwall the previous night.  

 

 “It was a very good run in a backup car,” said Lizotte. We drove home last night to get the backup after crashing Tuesday night. A couple laps and maybe I can go for Zack [Daniels], but I am very proud for him to take first place.”

 

Sharp, from Colton, NY, nearly came home with the victory after the race-long duel with Daniels.

 

“It was a good night,” said Daniels. “I didn't want to see the cautions late. The car went away the last two laps and fell off. Top three tonight. We’ll take it.”

 

After winning at Cornwall last night, Bastien Caron, from Inverness, QC, finished just off the podium in fourth to build his Championship points lead over Pete Stefanski and Devon Camenga, who finished 10th and 12th, respectively. 

 

UP NEXT: The DIRTcar Pro Stock Series returns to action onl Monday, August 17, when they join the Super DIRTcar Series at Brewerton Speedway for SummerFAST.

Bastien Caron Wins Wild DIRTcar Pro Stock Series Make-Up at Cornwall 

joe Grabianowski

CORNWALL, ON (July 7, 2026) – When the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series Feature at Cornwall Motor Speedway finally saw the checkered flag, after over a month of waiting, the points were turned upside down, and Bastien Caron left with the check.

The Series set the Feature lineup for Cornwall on May 31, with Jean Philippe Guay on the pole and defending Super DIRT Week champion Devon Camenga to his outside. But weather postponed the program, leaving them and the rest of the 28-car field to wait until July 7 to take the green.

When the race finally commenced on Tuesday evening, Guay drove away with the lead while Camenga’s chance of a good night evaporated off Turn 2 when he slid off track, losing six spots. He was never able to recover, eventually finishing eighth, but as the race progressed, the result proved to be a positive outcome for the driver who entered the race third in points.

Guay lost the lead to Tyler Bushey on Lap 2 and then, four laps later, like Camenga, slid off track. The mistake set him on a path that led to an issue that took him out of the race later on.

After a caution on Lap 7, Tommy Lizotte threw a slider on Bushey through Turns 3 and 4 to claim the lead. Caron, who was patiently working his way through the field from the eighth starting position – and doing so in style, carrying his left front off the ground like a Big Block Modified – then took his turn at attacking Bushey for second.

The No. 73 Pro Stock snuck by Bushey just in time for a caution on Lap 19 to bring Lizotte back within reach. When the race resumed, Caron powered past Lizotte for the lead and led a lap before the yellow flag flew again.

On the next restart, Caron almost threw away everything. He overshot Turn 2, allowing Lizotte and two more cars to get by. Unperturbed by the error, he went three-wide through Turns 3 and 4, splitting the second- and third-place cars to reclaim second and close on Lizotte.

Five laps later, while Caron and Lizotte were battling side by side for the lead, Lizotte spun in Turn 4 with the field coming at him. That included points leader Pete Stefanski, who collided with the No. 777 car and was unable to finish.

With Lizotte out of the picture, Caron found himself having to fend off Sid Harmer for the lead. Their battle lasted for a couple of laps before another caution paused the race – this time for a second incident with Jasey Casey, who entered the night second in points. Race officials also made the call to shorten the race from 50 laps to 40 at this point.

A few more cautions hindered the pace of the race, but Caron was still able to learn something from each one.

Harmer snuck under Caron and challenged for the lead on a couple of restarts, but a caution always came out before he could try to complete the pass. So, after almost losing the lead twice, Caron hugged the bottom around Turns 1 and 2, forcing Harmer to try the high line to pass him – a move that consistently worked in Caron’s favor.

The No. 73 car led the rest of the way, while Harmer, was left to battle Bushey and Burton Ward for the runner-up spot. The three drivers became the show at the finale as they waged a three-wide war around the entire 1/4-mile track on the final lap. Harmer held on to second, Ward grabbed third and Bushey finished fourth.

Caron, who entered the night fourth in Series points, 16 points behind Stefanski, survived the wild race to leave with a strong points gain, the $1,500 (CAN) check, and his second Series victory.

The free Hoosier tire went to Marc Peladeau, who finished ninth. Tech inspection included a valve spring and carburetor check.

UP NEXT
The DIRTcar Pro Stock Series continues its road to the championship finale at Super DIRT Week with a return to Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, NY, on Wednesday, July 8, joining the Super DIRTcar Series.

Tight Points Battle Highlights Mid-Week Doubleheader For DIRTcar Pro Stock Series
Pete Stefanski leads Jason Casey by six points in the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series standings

Quentin Young

LONG SAULT, ON (JULY 7, 2026) – The road to Super DIRT Week 54 continues for the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series this week, as drivers prepare for two races in two different countries.

First, the Series returns to Canada for the final time in 2026 with a stop at Cornwall Motor Speedway on Tuesday, July 7. The $1,500-to-win (CAN) event will finish off the event that was postponed on May 31. 

The postponed Feature will be the first event on the track. Then, drivers will have the chance to compete in a full show later in the night.

After stopping at Cornwall on Tuesday, the Series heads to the United States on Wednesday, July 8, for a stop at Mohawk International Raceway. Drivers will battle in a 30-lap Feature paying $1,000-to-win.

Both events will be run with the Super DIRTcar Series.

How can you watch the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series at Cornwall and Mohawk? Live on DIRTVision.

Here’s a look at what to watch for at Cornwall and Mohawk:

The Champ Leads the Pack: Entering this week’s doubleheader at Cornwall and Mohawk, Pete Stefanski holds a six-point edge over Jason Casey in the Series points standings. 

The North Tonawanda, NY, driver has wins at both facilities the Series stops at this week, winning at Cornwall in 2007 and 2008, and at Mohawk in 2009. Stefanski earned top 10s at both tracks last season, finishing sixth at Cornwall and seventh at Mohawk.

A win by the six-time Series champion will be his 29th Series win.

Casey, meanwhile, hasn’t made a start at Cornwall since he finished sixth in 2019. That’s also the last time he raced at Mohawk, when he crossed the line seventh. A win at either track would be his first career Series victory.

Cornwall Momentum: Tuesday’s Pro Stock Series event will be the third Feature of the season at Cornwall, and both have been won by Tommy Lizotte. That includes a win by the La Pocatiere, QC driver on Sunday night.

He’s also been strong at Mohawk, where he’s won two of the four starts he’s made at the Akwesasne, NY oval.

Lizotte is currently sixth in the Series standings and is searching for his first Series victory.

Other drivers who’ve been strong at Cornwall this season are three-time Series champion Jocelyn Roy and last year’s Series runner-up Tyler Bushey. Roy and Bushey join Lizotte as the only other two drivers who’ve finished in the top five in both Pro Stock features at Cornwall this season.

Roy, from St. Helene, QC, has four career Series triumphs, while Bushey, from Heuvelton, NY, has three career victories.

Stout Mohawk Stars: The last time the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series battled at Autodrome Drummond, Sid Harmer Jr. stood in Victory Lane. He’s also the last driver to earn a victory at Mohawk, winning last Friday night.

Harmer, from Governeur, NY, is a three-time Series winner and currently leads the Mohawk points standings. He’s the only driver to finish in the top five in all four Features at the track this season.

The two drivers chasing Harmer in the track’s points standings are Dakota Sharp and Zach Daniels, who’ve finished in the top five in three of the four Features at Mohawk this season.

Both drivers are searching for their first career Series victories.

Connor Crane Wins at Glen Ridge, Joey Scarborough Crowned DIRTcar Sportsman Series East Region Champion

jeremy Mcgaffin

By Joe Grabianowski

FULTONVILLE, NY (JULY 5, 2026) – DIRTcar Sportsman standout Connor Crane claimed the $2,000 DIRTcar Sportsman Series East Region finale payday Sunday at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park. 

 

Home-track hero Zach Buff and Tanner Warner, who started fifteenth, joined Crane on the podium.  

 

Crane, in his black No. 711, jumped out to an early lead and tried to leave the 30-car field in his wake. However, Brewerton Speedway invader Riley Rogala worked his way to the inside of Crane and took the lead on Lap 10. 

 

Rogala and Crane battled side-by-side through multiple restarts until lap 29, when Crane found a way around Rogala, which also allowed Zach Buff to follow through into second. From there, Crane kept the No. 711 straight and square until the checkered flag. 

 

“I was kind of waiting for the moment where he [Rogala] slipped off the bottom,” said Connor Crane. “I finally got him by running the bottom on the backstretch.”

 

“Our program is so good, I think we can go to any track and compete for a top five and even a win. I came here last week and got some notes, but this is just my second time here in a full-size car. I am really proud to get the win.”

 

Zach Buff, from Amsterdam, NY, was battling inside the top five when third-place Camron Hotaling lost control and scattered the field, bringing out an early caution flag. Buff fell back as far as fifth, but he battled back onto the podium behind Crane. 

 

“We were ripping around the top there in the beginning,” said Buff. “Then the bottom came to life and I moved down there. I was patient and picked off a couple cars at a time after falling back. It was a good run. Hats off to Crane and Warner. Those guys are great drivers. I just wish I could have been one stop better.”

 

The tenacious Tanner Warner came all the way from fifteenth to the podium. However, he waited until Lap 39 to make his final move to pass Rogala for third.  

 

“I did not expect that,” said Warner. “The restarts were our friend for sure. People slipped up at the right time, and I followed my way through. It was a good run.

 

“You had to be patient and wait. I was saving my tire, and I didn’t realize it was already the end of the race. With another ten laps, I could have gotten dicey with the leaders. 

 

With a seventh-place finish, Joey Scarborough claimed the 2026 DIRTcar Sportsman East Region Championship. The Brandon, VT driver scored one win and four Top 10s in the four East Region matchups. 

 

UP NEXT: Only the DIRTcar Sportsman Central and West Regions remain undecided. First, the West Region draws to a close in a combination event with the Central Region at Land of Legends Raceway on Wednesday, July 22. Then, on Saturday, July 25, the Central Region concludes at Fulton Speedway. 

 

Phil Arnold received a free right rear tire from Hoosier Racing Tire after finishing 20th.

The DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman Series events will pick up where they left off on July 1

LaFargeville, NY (July 3, 2026) – Can-Am Speedway’s Showdown in September weekend will be even bigger in 2026.

DIRTcar Northeast and track officials have rescheduled the remainder of the Pabst Shootout featuring the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series and DIRTcar Sportsman Series on Thursday, Sept. 10, kicking off a three-night weekend at the “Nasty Track of the North.”

The DIRTcar 358 Modified Series and DIRTcar Sportsman Series will pick up their events where they left off when the event was rained out on Wednesday, July 1. The Sportsman will not receive points, as both the North and Central Region standings will be complete. The event will remain a full-point show for 358 Modified teams.

Fans who saved their tickets and wristbands from the July 1st event can use them on Thursday, Sept. 10 only.

Joining the two DIRTcar Northeast Series on that night will be the track’s 602 Crate Sprint Cars.

With the Pabst Shootout rescheduled to Thursday of the Showdown in September, Can-Am now hosts a three-night weekend, including the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series on Sept. 10 and Sept. 11.

The Empire Super Sprints will also run double features on Friday night’s card.

Then, the Super DIRTcar Series makes its lone stop at the track on Saturday, Sept. 12, for the R.D. Hutchinson Memorial. Joining the Beasts of the Northeast will be the DIRTcar Sportsman Championship Series.
