NEW SMYRNA, Fla: The offseason has taken the checkered flag, but Casey Roderick and Rette Jones Racing are ready to take the green flag in their pursuit of the 2026 ASA STARS National Tour championship, beginning Tuesday night at New Smyrna (Fla.) Speedway.
Roderick, 33, returns for his third start under the Rette Jones Racing banner in the Sunshine State on February 10, looking to capitalize on the speed and promise shown in his first two appearances with the Mooresville, N.C.-based organization.
Woodford, VA – Race fans can look forward to a perfect afternoon of short-track action as the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour heads to Dominion Raceway for a Sunday matinee event on April 26, following a schedule adjustment from the originally planned Saturday, April 25 date.
The change was made by Track Enterprises, promoter of the event, as well as MDM Promotions Owner Marty Melo to avoid overlapping with the CARS Tour race scheduled for the same weekend. The move allows fans, teams, and competitors to enjoy two marquee racing events without conflict while setting the stage for a family-friendly Sunday afternoon show.
Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT ended up taking the Checkered Flag in the Clash at Bowman Gray while Middletown, Ct’s Joey Logano took the 11th place. Both drivers hung on to finish putting up with clear weather which turned into the worst storm that can be described as a finish in what’s called a Nor’easter, if you live anywhere chose to the City of Boston, MA.
