Heavy Rains Force Cedar County Changes; Reinhart Memorial Reset for Oct. 11

By Jerry Mackey TIPTON, Iowa (Oct. 3, 2026) — Heavy rains throughout the week in the Tipton area forced Darkside Promotions officials Ryan Duhme and Tim Current to postpone racing scheduled at Cedar County Raceway. Both the Gary Reinhart Memorial and Fall Bash fell victim to the wet weather after heavy rainfall left the Cedar County Fairgrounds saturated without enough drying time for racing to be held over the weekend. The Gary Reinhart Memorial has been rescheduled for Sunday, Oct. 11, at Cedar County Raceway. Gates will open at noon, with hot laps scheduled for 2 p.m. The program will feature Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds, Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars, Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods, and Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks. With the Cedar County Fairgrounds unavailable for the remainder of October, the Fall Bash will move to Maquoketa Speedway. An open practice is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 29, followed by full racing programs Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30-31.

Weaver Brothers Go 1-2 in Dream Night at Thundering Rock

By Jim Haines CUMBERLAND, Md. (Oct. 3, 2026) — The Weaver brothers enjoyed a dream weekend at Thundering Rock Raceway, with Kolby Weaver leading Kasey Weaver across the finish line for a family 1-2 Saturday night’s co-sanctioned Virginia Sprint Series and Laurel Highlands Sprint Series RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature. Kasey started the evening by winning the first heat race, while Colton Hendershot took the second. Following the redraw, Kolby and Kasey shared the front row for the feature on the big, high-speed western Maryland oval at the Allegany County Fairgrounds. Kolby jumped to the early lead with Kasey right behind him. Ryan Lynn, Hendershot, and Chris Dolan were among the early front runners as the Weaver brothers set the pace. Kolby continued to show the way, but Kasey stayed close and gave his brother little room for error. Lynn remained in the hunt while Dolan and Ken Duke worked their way into the top five. A late caution for a stopped car set up a two-lap dash to the checkered flag and gave Kasey one [Read More]

Natenstedt Rallies Late for Back-to-Back Pettit Shootout Triumph

By Ben Deatherage WATSONVILLE, Calif. (Oct. 3, 2026) — Shawn Natenstedt came from outside the top five at the lap 40 fuel break to capture Saturday night’s $3,006-to-win 16th annual Pettit Shootout for the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds at Watsonville Speedway, becoming the first driver since Bobby Hogge in 2020-21 to win consecutive editions. Natenstedt, the three-time Nevada State champion from Fernley, remains the only non-California driver to win the event in the Modified division. Hogge put the Paul Guglielmoni-owned No. 2H out front on lap one before Gavyn Manning used a lap seven restart to make a double overtake around the high side and take command in the Don Clark-provided No. 51G. Manning remained out front through challenges from 2026 IMCA Wild West Speedweek champion Matt Sanders and 2026 Merced Speedway champion Paul Stone before Natenstedt worked his way into contention. Natenstedt, who started seventh, completed his charge to the lead on lap 51 and began pulling away after encountering traffic four laps later. A lap 67 caution erased his advantage, and Manning capitalized on [Read More]
