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.

by Lou ModestinoJune 26, 2026

Thompson, CT — A beautiful afternoon greeted the new and returning fans, teams and supporters at Thompson Speedway Wednesday night. Rookie Charles Beal led the start of the Street Stock main event with outside polesitter Mike Viens going around on lap one. Back under green, Jarrod Soucy stole the lead as Al Stone III and Ryan Lineham joined the picture up front. Veterans Stone and Lineham motored under Soucy by lap six with Ryan Lineham taking the win over Al Stone III and Soucy holding on for third.

Rookies Mikey Flynn and Andrew Brousseau brought the Thompson Sunoco Modifieds to green before Rob Schultz made contact with the backstretch wall to call out the early caution on lap two. Brousseau battled hard with Keith Rocco from then on with the rookie facing the multi-time track championship veteran. Rocco and defending champion Todd Owen made the move under Brousseau before the halfway point and that is how they ran under the twin checkered flags at the end of 35-laps.

NASCAR and American Racer Are Working Together To Address The Moving Target That Is Modified Tour Tires

by MikeJune 24, 2026

Anybody who might be tire’d of the talk of the town on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in 2026 should brace for more as the season progresses.

And that’s a good thing.

The introduction of American Racer as the Tour’s official tire supplier this season has brought a mixed bag of feedback through six of the 16 scheduled races. Some teams have thrived on the tires while others have expressed frustration. Jon McKennedy, the 2022 series champion and a two-time race winner this year, put it simply: “Some guys like them, and some guys don’t.”
