Clem Dominates Sugar Bowl Finale for $3,000 Payday

By Justin Newman CLEWISTON, Fla. (Feb. 7, 2026) — The Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lites took to the track Saturday night at Hendry County Motorsports Park as part of the 7th Annual Sugar Bowl, contesting a scheduled 25-lap feature that marked the second round of the Florida Winter Nationals. The event paid $3,000 to the winner and resulted in Clem’s first career Sugar Bowl triumph. Making the long trip from Bakersfield, California, Riley Clem turned in the most complete performance of the evening, sweeping the night with a strong charge from fifth to the front and carrying that momentum into the main event. He grabbed the lead on the initial start and kept all challengers at bay through multiple restarts, leading every lap en route to the victory — his second win of the 2026 season. Carson Hubbard of Ohio finished second, while Delaware’s Ryan McKinney rounded out the podium after advancing from the 16th starting position.

Hinsley Hustles From Sixth to Score Dominant Mod Lite Victory at Central Arizona

By Rowdy Briggs CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Feb. 7, 2026) — Queen Creek’s Shane Hinsley turned in a commanding performance in the Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lite feature at Central Arizona Raceway, leading every lap en route to a runaway victory — his first of the year. Starting sixth, Hinsley charged to the front on the opening start and immediately established control of the main event. The race ran caution-free, allowing the leader to build momentum and rhythm as the laps clicked off. With clean air ahead, Hinsley steadily distanced himself from the competition, ultimately crossing the finish line nearly 12 seconds ahead of the field in a flag-to-flag triumph. While the win was never in doubt, the battle for second kept fans engaged. Kobe Lomasney and John Foster waged a spirited duel throughout much of the feature before Lomasney secured the runner-up position late in the race. Foster completed the podium in third, Brandi Bender recorded a solid fourth-place finish, and Chris Lomasney rounded out the top five. The event was broadcast live on IMCA TV. [Read More]

Sugar Bowl Prelude Victory Goes to Clem to Open ’26 Florida Winter Nationals

By Justin Newman CLEWISTON, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2026) — The Prelude to the 7th Annual Sugar Bowl brought a stout field of 24 Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lites to Hendry County Motorsports Park and served as the opening night of the 2026 Florida Winter Nationals, after two events scheduled the previous weekend at Swainsboro Raceway in Georgia were lost due to weather. When the field took the green for the feature, Ohio’s Carson Hubbard surged forward from his fourth starting position, taking command on lap four and pacing the field for the remainder of the race on the track. Early pressure came from Riley Clem. Following post-race technical inspection, Hubbard was disqualified due to a fuel sample infraction, officially awarding the victory to Clem, the Bakersfield, California native now residing in Wildersville, Tennessee. It was his first win of 2026. Dillon Permann delivered one of the evening’s most impressive drives. The Port St. Lucie, Florida racer charged from 14th to second, earning Hard Charger honors after slicing through the field in the race’s closing stages. Bill [Read More]
