The PASS season ended the way a Super Late Model season should end, with proven winners, tense segment racing, and a final result that rewarded more than one fast run. The Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models closed their 2026 campaign Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway with the Spencer Group Paving PASS 400. Mike Rowe, Eddie MacDonald, and Johnny Clark each claimed a segment victory, giving the finale a familiar New England short-track flavor. Ryan Kuhn left with the bigger

The landmarks that make Pensacola, Florida, the city of Five Flags appear on all 300 laps of the Snowball Derby. As the field swings around the third turn, the five flags of the five nations that have ruled over Pensacola are waving as the Super Late Models circle back to the home stretch. The history of flags goes back even further than the Snowball Derby, to when Pensacola was settled in 1559. This year, the staff at Five Flags Speedway are encouraging drivers to add a stic

The Crittenden, Kentucky driver recorded three victories, 14 top five finishes, and 24 top 10 finishes during his first full season on the tour. Rice finished ahead of f

North Wilkesboro Speedway does not need much help feeling historic. Put modifieds back on its worn-in surface, add a championship battle separated by single digits, and the old place becomes more than a stop on the schedule. It becomes the kind of race weekend drivers remember. That is the setting for the Friendly Tire 99, the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic season finale on Saturday, Oct. 17, at North Wilkesboro Speedway in the foothills of North Carolina. The nu

History was made with the green flag as the 55th Annual Winchester 400 at Winchester Speedway saw its first Saturday show and its first race under the lights. With a poor forecast on Sunday in the Midwest due to Hurricane Isaias, the ASA STARS National Tour officials and track staff made the call to move this historic race up a day to ensure the event was completed. The quest for the Winchester rifle began just before sundown, just like a tale from an old western movie. Movin

Sheldon Haudenschild turned an already memorable Ohio weekend into something bigger at Sharon Speedway. One night after winning at Mansfield Speedway, the Wooster, Ohio, driver charged from 10th to victory in Saturday’s 30-lap World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series finale. It was not a clean-air cruise. It was a patient, bottom-lane climb through a field filled with some of the best sprint car drivers in the country. Haudenschild took the KCP Racing No. 18 forwar

When it came time for Josh Berry to advance up the NASCAR developmental ladder, Carson Kvapil had the impossible task of carrying on JR Motorsports’ success in Late Model Stocks. Berry’s reputation in the discipline included victories in nearly every crown jewel event, a CARS Tour championship and a NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Division I title. Inheriting a stellar ride like JR Motorsports’ Late Model Stock would be an intimidating prospect for any driver, let alo

Thursday’s Bush’s Best 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway was a banner evening for Pinnacle Racing Group. Not only did Tristan McKee deliver PRG the ARCA Menards Series East championship, but Carson Brown also got to take the organization to Victory Lane. Although he led every lap from the pole, Brown admitted it was an arduous task holding the lead while simultaneously navigating countless lapped cars. “[This one’s] pretty high up there to be honest,” Brown said. “[My spotter] De

The SoundGear 225 presented by Stoke Shoes was a tale of two races for Conner Jones. In the first event of the day on Sunday, the 100-lap zMAX CARS Pro Late Model Tour feature, Jones had to grapple with a bitter defeat. Jones did everything possible to pass and then fend off T.J. DeCaire, but the fierce scuffle between the two eventually led to Brody Monahan stealing the victory from both. Frustrated over how the CARS PLM Tour feature turned out, Jones channeled that energy i

In only his second ASA STARS National Tour start, Keelan Harvick (Charlotte, NC) became the youngest winner in series history. Harvick started the day by claiming the Hamke Racecars Pole Award and earning the top spot. From there, he swapped the lead several times, but held the point for over 200 laps to claim the win in the Michigan 300 at Owosso Speedway. At 14 years, 1 month, and 18 days, Harvick shattered the previous record set by Gio Ruggiero. The Seekonk, MA driver was

Caden Kopel found himself in the CARS Tour Victory Lane for the third time this season, marking his first win since April at Nashville. How does it feel to get back on track with the CARS Tour? Although you recently won at the Hampton Heat, it had been some time since your last CARS Tour victory. Yes, it has been a while. After Nashville, we finished third for about three consecutive weeks, then hit a dry spell. We missed a few top-fives and performed poorly at North Wilkesbo

BROWNSBURG, Ind. – Kaden Honeycutt wants everyone to recognize the excellence of Cook Racing Technologies. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular has frequently raced for team owner Bruce Cook on the ARCA platform since 2023. Each time he takes the wheel of Cook’s No. 17, he becomes a strong contender for victory. This narrative held true Friday evening at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park as Honeycutt fended off a persistent Carson Brown amid lapped traffic to secure hi

Normally, the driver who wins an ASA STARS National Tour event starts in the top 10. That was not the case as the front two drivers in the Capital 200 presented by Appalachian Sucker Punch. Both came from the seventh row on the starting grid at Madison International Speedway to post a one-two finish. When the flag flew at the end of 200 laps, it was Kyle Steckly (Milverton, ON) coming from 14th to score his second-career win in the ASA STARS National Tour. Steckly won the Red

Thomas Annunziata had every reason to feel confident before Friday’s ARCA Menards Series race at Lime Rock Park.

He effectively used his skill and confidence to dominate Friday’s 68-lap race, securing his first victory of the season and the second win of his ARCA Menards Series career. “I grew up doing this kind of stuff, right? A lot of these guys didn’t

Is it appropriate to use the phrases “pure domination” and “fending off challengers” to describe the winner of a race? In the context of the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic event on July 4th at Caraway Speedway, the answer is unequivocally yes. Carson Loftin secured the Pace-O-Matic Pole award during qualifying, drew the number-1 position, and led every lap to secure victory in the Revolutionary 99 held in Sophia, NC. The most challenging aspect for Loftin was def

Tyler Courtney came up just one spot shy of cashing in on the $100,000 High Bank Bounty for a $400,000 payday. The Clauson Marshall/NOS Energy Drink No. 7BC settled for a still stout $50,000 runner-up to punctuate the week on a high note after a slow start. “From Wednesday to now, we made a lot of changes to the car and just worked our tails off to be in the position we were tonight,” Courtney said. “I feel like were pretty good until late. I felt like I got a pretty good res

The box score says Bobby Pierce started first and finished first, but that doesn’t even begin to tell the full story. It had been seven years since the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision last visited Ogilvie Raceway, and expectations were high at the track that’s known to give drivers plenty of room to race. When the lineup was published that had Pierce and Jonathan Davenport beside each other on the front row, the fans knew they were in for a treat. W

Prior to Saturday’s Mini’s Mission Burn Rubber to Help Another 125, no driver had claimed a second victory in the zMAX CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour at Dominion Raceway over nine previous events. Appropriately, it was Mini Tyrrell who broke this pattern. Saturday marked the fourth consecutive year that Tyrrell’s charity, Mini’s Mission, sponsored the Dominion CARS Tour event. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was founded by Tyrrell to raise awareness about childhood canc

Few drivers can claim to have earned a six-figure paycheck in a single night at a dirt track, but Nick Hoffman has recently joined this select group. Just one evening earlier, Tyler Erb became part of this elite club after local philanthropists Dan and Brenda Niss contributed a donation that elevated Friday’s winner's prize to an impressive $100,000. However, their generosity did not end there. The Blaster 57 Special finale on Saturday for the World of Outlaws Late Model Seri

In front of a live television audience on FS1, Kyle Larson displayed arguably the most dominant performance in Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing history Wednesday night at Menomonie, Wisconsin's Red Cedar Speedway. Officially, the Elk Grove, California native will go into the record books with the fourth-largest margin of victory, coming in at 3.411 seconds.

After taking the lead on Lap 13, Honeycutt drove smoothly and flawlessly to secure his first win in the national ARCA Menards Series. Despite having less road course experience than o

Nick Hoffman couldn’t have asked for a better 34th birthday present than the one he gave himself. Entering Friday’s portion of the Dairyland Showdown at Mississippi Thunder Speedway, Bobby Pierce had won the last three races on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision trail, and Hoffman was at risk of letting Pierce pull away in the points battle. He needed a momentum shift, and that’s exactly what he got. Pierce had already made headlines before the Fea

UNION, KY (May 2, 2026) – Hudson O’Neal of Martinsville, Indiana took the lead on lap three from Jason Jameson and held off Devin Moran to win the 40th Annual Ralph Latham Memorial on Saturday night at Florence Speedway.

A bold move from Andy Jankowiak around the outside of Cleetus McFarland and Gus Dean at Talladega Superspeedway propelled him to his first career ARCA Menards Series victory on Saturday afternoon. Amidst the chaos of the situation, Jankowiak stayed in the throttle, not knowing the overtime attempt was just one lap. When reality did set in, the emotions quickly overwhelmed Jankowiak, who has worked tirelessly during the 2020s to find sustainability on the ARCA Menards Series p

n two starts so far during the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season, Gio Ruggiero found Victory Lane in both. Ruggiero’s second win of the year proved to be slightly more difficult compared to his season-opening triumph at Daytona International Speedway. After fading during the final long green flag run, Ruggiero used two overtime restarts to cycle back to the front and emerge victorious Saturday in the Tide 150 at Kansas Speedway. Multiple factors motivated Ruggiero’s drive to th

The International Hot Rod Association delivered the kind of stock car racing action that fans have been asking for Saturday night. Tate Fogleman survived the chaos of 14 caution periods, and made a last-lap pass of Kade Brown to win a 125-lap Late Model Sportsman feature for the IHRA Stock Car Series at Cordele Motor Speedway. Fogleman, a winner of a 2021 NASCAR Truck Series race at Talladega, took home a $10,000 winner’s purse for conquering the 3/8-mile short track and a fi

A new circuit for the zMAX CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour did not hinder Caden Kvapil's momentum.

In two ARCA Menards Series East events this year, Tristan McKee has achieved Victory Lane twice. McKee's victory at Rockingham Speedway on Saturday was markedly different from his inaugural East Series win last weekend at Hickory Motor Speedway . Unlike his previous race, where he took the lead in the final laps, McKee led from start to finish from the pole position, successfully keeping his Pinnacle Racing Group teammate, Carson Brown, behind him. The primary challenge McKe

On Friday night at East Alabama Motor Speedway, Nick Hoffman secured the victory, leading Bobby Pierce by three points. Determined to reclaim his lead, Pierce arrived at Saturday’s event at Senoia Raceway and achieved his fourth win of the year in the Billy Clanton Classic. With 15 laps to go, the low lane became the preferred path, but Pierce defied expectations by moving to the top of Turns 1 and 2 to gain momentum on the leading Hoffman. During this maneuver, Pierce made c

The ARCA Menards Series East will make its first-ever appearance at one of the most legendary short tracks in stock car history, Hickory Motor Speedway, on March 28, 2026. The series will compete in a 150-lap event around the storied 0.363-mile oval that has been the launching point for the careers of several NASCAR champions, including the late Bobby Isaac, Ned and Dale Jarrett, Ralph and Dale Earnhardt, and many more. “Considering the tradition, history and longevity of Hic
