PORTLAND, Ore. (July 27, 2025) – The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s Western Championship Race 2 at Portland International Raceway was nearly a repeat of Race 1, with the caution-free event once again dominated by Brody Goble in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series and Ken Sutherland in TA Cup. The two fired off strong and led from flag to flag, with Goble scoring his fourth win of the season and Sutherland claiming his third-consecutive victory.

Time will tell whether Shane van Gisbergen will be remembered as the greatest road- and street-course racer in NASCAR history.
But the New Zealand native already can make an indisputable claim to unprecedented greatness barely two years after his Cup Series debut. No one ever has been this good at so many tracks with left- and right-hand turns on NASCAR’s premier circuit.

It didn’t take long to bust every bracket in NASCAR’s inaugural In-Season Challenge.
The first two stages of Saturday night’s Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Speedway took care of that. A seven-car wreck on Lap 57 and a colossal 22-car incident 12 laps later wiped out most of the top choices to win the $1-million top prize in the five-race tournament.
Barre, VT – Even with a bleak, at best, forecast hovering over Quarry Hill on Thursday, one-hundred cars flowed into the Thunder Road pit area for Nolato Vermont Night. Highlighted by the return of the Myers Container Service Triple Crown, the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers started off the night’s action.
WATERFORD – Back-to-back SK Modified® champion Todd Owen has had a hard time being the dominant force he has been in the past two seasons, but that all changed this week. Troy Talman once again showed short-run speed, but it didn’t take long for Owen to power by using a restart to his advantage.
The fireworks started off early with the rain-postponed Casella Waste Management 50-lapper for the Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Models. From the pole position hard-luck driver Scott Coburn led the early war but was overtaken by Memorial Day Classic winner Stephen Donahue on lap 15. Donahue continued to dominate through a lap-22 scramble in turn four between the 94VT of Brendan Moodie and the 0VT of Scott Dragon that took out contenders Brooks Clark and Bobby Therrien. (more…)
Over the first 115-laps of the Miller Lite 200 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Riverhead Raceway Saturday a combination of Tom Rogers Jr. of Riverhead, Dave Brigati of Calverton and Kyle Soper of Manorville showed the way. For awhile it appeared Ed Brunnhoelzl Jr. who was the last Riverhead regular to win a WMT race in 1995 would witness that 26-year mark erased. Then the second half of the race unfolded with WMT championship contender Patrick Emerling of Orchard Park, NY taking the lead on lap 116 from Soper to score the victory. (more…)
