By Ben Deatherage BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 2, 2026) — Trevor Serbus charged to the lead on lap three and never looked back, capturing Sunday night’s RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature at Huset’s Speedway. The Olivia, Minnesota driver took over the top spot from Dillon Bickett on the third circuit of the 20-lap contest and controlled the remainder of the race. A caution with roughly one-third of the race remaining erased his advantage, but Serbus executed a flawless restart and steadily rebuilt his lead over the closing laps. The victory was Serbus’ third of the season, with each of his wins coming at a different racetrack. Michalob Voeltz crossed the stripe second, while early leader Bickett completed the podium in third. Corbin Erickson finished fourth, and Braden Ockenga rounded out the top five. Serbus, Logan Moore, Bickett, and Gracyn Masur each won heat races, while Aydin Lloyd captured the B Main.

After several unsuccessful bids, Lafferty capitalized when Robbie Stillwaggon drifted high entering turn three on lap 20, allowing him to drive underneath and complete the winning pass. A caution moments later for Zach Fields, who slowed with mechanical issues on the front straightaway, set up a five-lap dash to the finish. Lafferty remained in control on the restart and held off Robbie Stillwaggon to secure the victory. The win was Lafferty’s first of the season and his second [Read More]

By Frank Buhrman SELINSGROVE, Pa. (Aug. 1, 2026) — Chad Phillips raced for years before stepping away from the sport, then returned simply because he still loved racing. Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway, the Gratz driver earned a victory that fit that story perfectly, leading all 20 laps of the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature. Phillips moved to the inside of the front row after a false start reordered the lineup, took the lead from Tyler Snook at the drop of the green, and never looked back. He threaded his way through lapped traffic and maintained the top spot through a pair of late restarts before taking the checkered flag. The victory was Phillips’ first of the 2026 season and came in only his third start of the year. It was also just his 20th race since beginning his racing comeback in 2022.
