Barre, VT – It was an action-packed afternoon of racing at Thunder Road Sunday, starting with two rained out NBT Bank features from Thursday. The Maplefields/Irving Late Models made history to start Sunday’s showcase with a long green flag run setting up a fan-favorite finish. Early polesitters Stephen Donahue and Darrell Morin slipped back after lap 20, setting up a four-car, side-by-side battle between Stephen Martin, Chris Pelkey, Taylor Hoar and Marcel Gravel. As Pelkey began to drive away, Hoar broke past the boys to chase down the #64 on the highside.
A standing room only crowd filed into Riverhead Raceway Saturday for the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet I Love America night Fireworks and School Bus Demolition Derby program and were treated to some great stock car racing prior to the family entertainment events.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 29, 2026) – Since its debut in 2001, Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, has hosted 94 races across seven series on its 1.5-mile oval. None, however, have been in the last seven years.
When the checkered flag waved on June 30, 2019, to mark the end of the Camping World 400 NASCAR Cup Series race, it also marked the end of racing on Chicagoland’s D-shaped layout. Save for serving as a storage area for pickup trucks awaiting microchips during the global shortage brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and hosting a one-off SuperMotocross event in 2023, Chicagoland has been dormant. Scooby-Doo vibes replaced the “Boogity, boogity, boogity, let’s go racing!” mantra made famous by NASCAR Hall of Fame driver and FOX broadcaster Darrell Waltrip.
CLAREMONT, NH – Four drivers won their first victory ever at Claremont Motorsports Park, two more won for the first time this season, and Robert Hagar, a previous 2026 Super Street winner, scored his first career Outlaw Late Model victory Friday.
And while it was Hagar’s first Outlaw win, it was the third this summer for the chariot he piloted to Country Fuels VIctory Lane on Friday. The Windsor, VT ace was victorious in his maiden voyage aboard the potent Streeter Construction 22 entry, a rocketship already piloted to 2026 wins by both Brandon Gray and Guy Caron.
(Stafford Springs, CT)—Now in his sixth season of Street Stock competition at Stafford Speedway, Belchertown, MA native Bill Cote is still in search of his first feature victory.

Cote has yet to visit the podium in 2026, but he has posted top-8 finishes in every race this season. Cote will be looking to break into NAPA Victory Lane this Friday, June 26 when the Street Stock division takes to the track for its biggest race of the season, the Midstate Site Development Street Stock 30.
