Ferrando Dominates Douglas County Modified Feature

By Ben Deatherage ROSEBURG, Ore. (May 15, 2026) — Grey Ferrando put together a commanding performance in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature at the Douglas County Dirtrack, collecting his third DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region victory of the season in the 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event and his first triumph of 2026 at the Roseburg 3/10-mile oval. Brett Muth led the opening lap before a caution quickly slowed the pace. On the restart, Ferrando charged from fourth and was battling for the lead within a couple of circuits. By lap three, the 2017 Cottage Grove Speedway champion had officially taken command. Another caution on lap four reset the field, but Ferrando was flawless on the restart and immediately began pulling away from the competition. The 2024 Cocopah Speedway track champion maintained a sizable advantage even after encountering lapped traffic on lap 16 and was never seriously challenged the rest of the way. Late in the race, 2019 DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region champion Bricen James moved into second after a spirited battle with reigning National Rookie [Read More]

Wilson Breaks Through at Crawford County in Mod Lites of Arkansas Action

By Bryce Vowan VAN BUREN, Ark. (May 9, 2026) — Crawford County Speedway had not always been kind to Blake Wilson, but on Saturday night the Mabelvale driver finally turned frustration into triumph.
