SWEDEBORO, N.J. (May 30, 2026) — Newark, Delaware’s Troy Betts made it two wins in as many nights as he took top honors in the 25-lap DCB Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series feature presented by Capitol Renegade at Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night. Betts, who won the MASS event the night before at Georgetown Speedway, took advantage of his front-row starting position and led every lap of the non-stop feature to complete the “MASSive” weekend sweep.

Rookie Tyler Grau and Betts brought the field to the green, however third-starting Robbie Stillwaggon surprised the front row with a turn one slider to grab the top spot. Stillwaggon, making his first start of the season, held the lead only until turn four when Betts returned the favor to be scored the leader of lap one.

Betts opened up his lead over the first five laps as Grau quickly reclaimed the second position with season opening night winner Tim Iulg moving up to challenge for the spot. Iulg eventually worked past Grau and set his sights on Betts, who was just beginning to encounter lapped traffic.

Iulg quickly closed the gap on the leader as both drivers negotiated backmarkers. Betts was flawless in traffic, using the slower cars to his advantage whenever Iulg mounted a challenge. Iulg turned the fastest lap of the race, but Betts never made a mistake and gradually rebuilt his advantage during the second half of the event.

Stillwaggon had recaptured third but spent the final 10 laps fending off challenges from Brian Carber and Adam Carberry in one of the night’s most entertaining battles.

Betts remained perfect through lapped traffic and went on to secure the victory. The win was his second straight MASS triumph and his second RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car victory of the season. The defending series champion has yet to finish outside the top three in five Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series events this year.

Iulg finished second while Carber ultimately won the battle for third. Stillwaggon crossed the stripe fourth in his season debut, with Carberry completing the top five.

DeVault Dominates for Redemption Win at Bridgeport

By Ben Deatherage SWEDESBORO, N.J. (Mar. 29, 2025) — Bob DeVault powered to a commanding win Saturday night in the 25-lap RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car main event at Bridgeport Speedway, marking the second Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series event of the season. DeVault, of Alloway, New Jersey, launched into the lead from the drop of the green at the 4/10-mile “Kingdom of Speed”. Aidan Borden held off early pressure from Dave Brown while Kevin Nagy moved into third and then passed Brown, allowing both DeVault and Borden to gain distance on the field. As DeVault navigated heavy traffic, Nagy advanced into second. Borden tried to counter but couldn’t reclaim the spot. Nagy, the 2021 series champion, began to chase down the leader, but DeVault had built an impressive advantage. A caution erased the gap with DeVault but also relieved the leader from being buried in lapped traffic. On the restart, Borden attempted to retake second, allowing DeVault to pull away again. A few laps later, Nagy came to a stop to bring out another yellow. After racing resumed, [Read More]

Rookie schools IMCA RaceSaver foes at Bloomsburg

By Frank Buhrman BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (July 25) – Rookie Zack Bealer found a way around Bloomsburg Fair Raceway that nobody else could match and scored his first win in a full-sized sprint car in Sunday’s IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car feature co-sanctioned by the Pennsylvania Sprint Series and the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series. The former micro-sprint driver, running regularly with MASS, already had amassed two top-five finishes and four top-10’s in just six starts, including a seventh at Bridgeport Speedway in his first RaceSaver start, the season-opening co-sanctioned event for both groups. He announced early Sunday he might be ready to do even better at Bloomsburg, coming from ninth starting position to finish fourth in his heat. That was the best charge by any driver in the preliminaries. Then he drew the pole for the 25-lap feature, the first ever for full-size, winged sprints on the Bloomsburg track, built earlier this year inside the horse track that was the site of many classic open-wheel races beginning nearly a century ago and ending in the 1980s.

Tanner and last week’s winner Tim Iulg for third. The trio raced three-wide multiple times in a thrilling fight that lasted several laps. By halfway, Tanner secured the position, with Iulg in pursuit and Stillwaggon fending off a hard-charging Aiden Borden. At that point, Brown [Read More]

Tomlinson Ends Dacotah Drought in Modified Main

By Becca Pelkey MANDAN, N.D. (May 29, 2026) — Dacotah Speedway was back in action on Friday night after weather forced the cancellation of the previous week’s program. Chris “The Crowbar” Tuchscherer started on the pole for the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature, but it was Marcus Tomlinson who quickly established himself as the driver to beat. The Turtle Lake racer grabbed the lead in the early stages before defending track champion Jeremy Keller reeled him in. The pair raced side by side for several laps in one of the night’s most entertaining battles. Contact between the leaders allowed Shawn Strand to close the gap, and with six laps remaining, Strand moved past Keller for second and began chasing down Tomlinson. Despite the pressure, Tomlinson remained composed and drove to victory, collecting his second Razor Chassis North Central Region win of the season and first Dacotah Speedway triumph of 2026.
