Stone Cashes $3,500 Stock Car Triumph at Tulare’s Kris Mancebo Memorial

By Koen Shaw TULARE, Calif. (May 15, 2026) — The Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars closed out the Kris Mancebo Memorial with a thrilling 25-lap, $3,500-to-win feature at Thunderbowl Raceway on Friday night. Troy Foulger jumped out to the early lead and established a strong pace while 10th-starting Paul Stone and 12th-starting Nicholas Johnson quickly carved their way into the top five by lap five. Johnson momentarily got loose in turn one but managed to save the car and maintain his position. Shortly after, Terry DeCarlo and Fred Ryland were involved in an incident that ended Ryland’s night. A lengthy green-flag run allowed Foulger, Stone, and Johnson to separate themselves from the field before late-race cautions reset the action. Austin Pugh brought out one of the late yellows after pounding the turn three wall, while Jeff Olschowka also fell victim to multiple stoppages. On the restart with five laps remaining, the Winton driver, Stone, made the winning move around Foulger and quickly stretched his advantage to capture the $3,500 payday and his first Kris Mancebo Memorial victory.

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]
