Ryan Lynn Returns to Bedford Victory Lane After Decade-Long Wait

BEDFORD, Pa. (May 29, 2026) — The Laurel Highlands Sprint Car Series made its third visit of the season to Bedford Speedway on Friday night, and Hollidaysburg’s Ryan Lynn turned in a dominant performance to capture his first Bedford Speedway victory of 2026. Starting from the pole, Lynn quickly established himself as the driver to beat in the 20-lap RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature. The veteran racer maintained control throughout the contest while fending off challenges from a talented field eager to deny him a return trip to victory lane. The win was especially meaningful for Lynn, who celebrated his first Bedford Speedway triumph in a decade. Following the race, Lynn credited recent gains in speed and setup improvements discovered at Hagerstown Speedway for helping propel his recent success. Colton Hendershot finished second after starting third, while Mikell McGee completed the podium in third. Dylan Shatzer crossed the stripe fourth, and Jarrett Cavalet advanced from seventh to round out the top five. Earlier in the evening, Shatzer and Kasey Weaver scored victories in Laurel Highlands Sprint [Read More]

By Pete Wortman 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.

By Pete Wortman GEORGETOWN, Del. (May 29, 2026) — Defending series champion Troy Betts finally checked a long-sought accomplishment off his list Friday night, capturing his first career victory in his home state of Delaware during the DCB Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series presented by Capitol Renegade at Georgetown Speedway.

By Jim Haines NATURAL BRIDGE, Va. (May 30, 2026) — The Virginia Sprint Series returned to Natural Bridge Speedway on a clear and warm evening, and Jerald Harris flew to his first victory of the season in RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car competition. Heat race wins went to Billy Hubbard and Dylan Shatzer. Billy Hubbard and Harris paced the field to green, with Harris immediately taking command. Shatzer settled into second while Hubbard held third as the field raced around the fast and smooth clay oval.

Dewease(s) Rule Williams Grove

By Frank Buhrman MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (May 29, 2026) — Normally, the story of a River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series race isn’t dependent on what happened in another division, but Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway was an exception. Cole Dewease of Fayetteville led every lap of the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature to earn his first career PASS victory. Less than 30 minutes earlier, his father, legendary sprint car racer Lance Dewease, had also led every lap to win the night’s 410 Sprint Car feature. Father and son joined one another in both victory lane celebrations, making for a memorable evening at the historic half-mile oval. The younger Dewease’s PASS triumph came in only his seventh series start. He entered the night with a pair of PASS top-five finishes and already owned a Laurel Highlands Sprint Series victory earned May 1 at Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway. After enduring poor luck in feature redraws throughout the season, Dewease finally caught a break Friday night by drawing the pole position. From there, it was a matter of out-dragging [Read More]

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn.

The race saw multiple incidents during the opening stages before the final 11 laps clicked off under green flag conditions. Goettl held the early lead before Cory Probst charged from 10th into contention and grabbed the top spot on lap 10. Goettl stayed within striking distance as lapped traffic came into play on the white flag lap. Probst crossed the line first in the special 18-lap race honoring Kyle Busch, but relinquished the win in post-race tech after refusing a legal claim, handing the victory to Goettl. Austin Jahnz stormed from 12th to second while Chad Volk advanced from 11th to third. Scott Porter finished fourth after starting on the pole while Daniel Probst completed the top five.
