Manning Charges From Seventh for First Santa Maria Win of 2026

By Stephanie Odom SANTA MARIA, Calif. (June 6, 2026) — Tyler Bannister appeared poised to continue his dominance in Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified competition Saturday night at Santa Maria Speedway. The Bakersfield driver entered the evening a perfect two-for-two at the Central Coast facility in 2026 and added another heat race victory to his résumé.

Bannister also charged forward in the closing stages, but Manning proved untouchable over the final circuits, racing away to secure his first Santa Maria Speedway victory of the season. The win was Manning’s fourth of 2026 in the DeVilbiss [Read More]
