SEEKONK, MASS. — The first trip to Seekonk Speedway in seven years for the Granite State Pro Stock Series presented by Hudson International Speedway produced the series’ fourth different winner in four races so far this season.
On the first night of the MDP Motorsports Promotions Triple Crown, Joey Polewarczyk unseated the reigning king of the “Cement Palace” for his first GSPSS win of 2026 and the tenth of his career.
Just over a month removed from his career defining victory in the Miller Lite Salutes Don Howe 200 NASCAR Whelen Modified event in late May, fourth generation driver Mark Stewart of Riverhead notched another signature event win when he topped the Flying Dutchman Tribute 76 Friday night at Riverhead Raceway. The race run honoring the iconic Fred Harbach was the first leg of the five race 2026 Crown Jewel Series for the Ted Christopher Cup that concludes with the 10th annual Islip 300 in November.
Lee, NH — When the dust settled and the checkered flag unfurled at Lee USA Speedway Friday night, Southern New Hampshire race fans were on the edge of their seats. It was Round #2 in the Seacoast Late Model Challenge Series with Ryan Kuhn taking the early lead in the Reinbold Insurance #63MA. Kuhn earned the pole position in plus/minus handicap qualifying and quickly launched away with the early lead.
All things remained settled until lap 66 caution for Colby Meserve’s turn one spin to re-rack the field. Now alongside Jimmy Renfrew, Jr., the two ran side-by-side until turn three with Renfrew jumping to the bottom and rooting Kuhn up the track to steal the lead. The lap 77 restart following young Ayla Martin’s spin on the backstretch brought with it a final twist. Kuhn returned the favor in turn one on lap 83 to regain the lead by inches at the line as the two ran side-by-side with Geoff Rollins laying in wait behind them. Under the Friday Night Lights Ryan Kuhn would nail down the win seventeen laps later with Geoff Rollins edging Renfrew at the line for second overall.

(Du Quoin, IL) Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, returns to the Magic Mile on Independence Day as DuQuoin State Fairgrounds hosts a full day of motorcycle racing, live music, family fun, and America’s 250th birthday celebration, Saturday, July 4.

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.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Despite Mother Nature forcing a weather delay which moved two features into Sunday afternoon, fans at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway were treated to an exciting weekend of grassroots racing during the Stars, Stripes & Speed – Celebrating America’s 250 event featuring eight divisions of competition.

The CP Race Wear Bandoleros put on an incredible show as Tate Brewer of Big Cove, Alabama, and Jordan Bauer exchanged the lead repeatedly over the closing five laps. At the checkered flag, Brewer edged Bauer by just .052 seconds in a thrilling photo finish. Carter Clapp, Elliott Klein and championship leader Lucas Harrison completed the top five.
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.
Fans witnessed one of the most memorable evenings in the 81-year history of the Action Track of the East as David Darling became just the third driver ever to reach 100 career victories at Seekonk Speedway. His milestone victory highlighted an action-packed NASCAR Saturday program that also featured thrilling wins by Richie Murray, Randy Moretti and Mike Cavallaro.
