Bosma Makes Last-Lap Pass for Huset’s RaceSaver Victory

By Inside Line Promotions BRANDON, S.D. (July 12, 2026) — Brandon Bosma executed a dramatic last-lap pass on Lee Goos Jr. to capture the 20-lap RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature at Huset’s Speedway. Goos Jr. paced the opening 19 laps, but three cautions throughout the race largely kept the leader out of lapped traffic. Bosma stalked the Sioux Falls driver through the second half of the feature before using the high side to surge alongside exiting the final corners, edging Goos Jr. by just 0.081 seconds at the checkered flag. The Rock Rapids, Iowa, driver earned his fourth victory of the season and first at Huset’s Speedway in 2026. The triumph also marked the ninth of his career at the historic 3/8-mile oval. He became the third different winner in three events this season. Owen Carlson finished third after starting fifth. Cole Vanderheiden turned in one of the night’s biggest charges, advancing from 14th to fourth, while Micah Slendy completed the top five after starting third. Carlson, Bosma, Slendy and Michalob Voeltz each won heat races. [Read More]

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (July 11, 2026) — Tyler Drueke thrilled the Eagle Raceway crowd Saturday night, charging from the 11th starting position to win the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature after surviving a wild late-race crash and celebrating with a headfirst belly flop into the mud.

The Eagle driver earned his second RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car victory of the season, with both wins coming at Eagle Raceway. Adam Gullion raced from 12th to second, Russell held on for third after leading the early laps, Jason Danley finished fourth, and Dylan Waxdahl completed the top five.

By Evan McCrory SUMTER, S.C. (July 11, 2026) — Robert Tyler turned a front-row starting spot into a breakthrough victory Saturday night, leading all 25 laps to earn his first career Carolina Sprint Tour presented by GSR Chassis triumph at Sumter Speedway. After advancing into the redraw with a runner-up finish in his heat race, Tyler, of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, lined up alongside Jake McLain for the start of the feature. McLain found speed around the cushion on the opening lap, but Tyler powered ahead on the bottom groove entering turn three to secure the lead. Once out front, Tyler delivered a flawless drive. He expertly worked through lapped traffic while never allowing McLain or the rest of the field to mount a serious challenge. The victory continued a breakout summer for Tyler, who recently earned his first career Sprint Car win with the Virginia Sprint Series. McLain finished second, while George Loux completed the podium in third. Josh Shantz crossed the line fourth, and hometown driver Derrek Treece rounded out the top five.

Harris Makes Last-Lap Pass for Langley Speedway Victory

By Jim Haines HAMPTON, Va. (July 4, 2026) — Jerald Harris saved his best move for the final lap Saturday night at Langley Speedway, making an outside pass on Chase Burrow in turn one to capture the Virginia Sprint Series feature on Independence Day. Despite sweltering temperatures and fighter jets flying overhead throughout the day, Harris stayed cool when it mattered most. Chris Humblet and Aaron Leach won the heat races, but Leach’s night ended before the feature began when a broken driveline left him unable to answer the call for the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car main event. That moved Daren Bolac and Burrow to the front row for the start. Burrow grabbed the lead when the green flag waved, with Bolac and Harris giving chase. A quick caution for a stalled car slowed the field early before Harris moved into second. Bolac ran third, followed by Humblet and Bill Mullis. On lap eight, Bolac suffered mechanical trouble. Humblet had nowhere to go and made contact, ending the night for both drivers. Burrow and Harris pulled [Read More]

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn.

Menk finished second, Matt Looft was third, Chad Porter crossed the line fourth and Jason Schroeder rounded out the top five.
