DIRTcar Summer Nationals Return to Lincoln Speedway This Thursday for Rain-Delayed Stop

by MikeJune 29, 2026

LINCOLN, Ill. – After Mother Nature reshuffled much of the 2026 DIRTcar Summer Nationals schedule, one of the most anticipated stops of the season is finally set to take place as the Hell Tour rolls into Lincoln Speedway this Thursday, July 2. The event serves as the makeup date for the rain-postponed June 21 program and will feature the DIRTcar Summer Nationals Late Models, DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals, and Lincoln Speedway’s exciting Crown Vic division.

Originally slated as part of Father’s Day weekend, the Lincoln Speedway event became one of many casualties of a relentless stretch of rain and severe weather that has plagued the 40th anniversary edition of the Hell Tour. In fact, the series managed to complete just one event during the most recent week of competition as repeated storms forced cancellations across the Midwest, resulting in a reshuffled schedule that now brings one of the nation’s premier dirt late model tours back to central Illinois on Thursday night.

Greece delivers early WRC drama as Neuville, Ogier and Fourmaux fill Friday’s top three.

by MikeJune 26, 2026

Thierry Neuville led EKO Acropolis Rally Greece after a punishing Friday that immediately underlined the rally’s fearsome reputation.

The Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team driver completed the opening full day 9.7sec clear of Sébastien Ogier, with team-mate Adrien Fourmaux third after an eventful leg in which he both led the rally and lost time to a puncture.

The longest day of the rally, totalling 129.22km, brought heavy road cleaning, sharp rocks and constant risk across six gravel stages north of Loutraki. Few crews escaped the day without drama, but Neuville’s measured approach proved enough to keep him in front overnight.

By John Oreovicz, IMSA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International is the first IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race since the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March to feature all four classes – Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO), and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD). It’s also the third of five rounds in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup, producing a bumper field of 54 cars.

For GTP, Watkins Glen is already the sixth of nine races, signaling the start of the final stretch of the title fight. LMP2 has run only two of seven events so far this year, so its championship is just getting underway. For GTD PRO and GTD, the Sahlen’s Six Hours marks the halfway point of the season.
