St. Petersburg Grand Prix to Host First CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Street Race

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Aug. 20, 2025) – NASCAR introduced another innovative national series schedule as the 2026 slates were announced for the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series (formerly NASCAR Xfinity Series) and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. New and returning venues highlight next season's schedule, including all three national series competing on the streets at Naval Base Coronado in NASCAR San Diego, NASCAR Championship Weekend homecoming to Homestead-Miami Speedway, the NASCAR All-Star Race moving to Dover Motor Speedway and Cup Series points races returning to Chicagoland Speedway and North Wilkesboro Speedway.

 

"This is a landmark schedule that demonstrates NASCAR's continued innovation with a strong mix of beloved venues and exciting new and returning racetracks for race fans from coast to coast," said Ben Kennedy, EVP, Chief Venue & Racing Innovation Officer. "The 2026 NASCAR national series schedules celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary with NASCAR San Diego, welcome back Cup Series points races to Chicagoland Speedway and North Wilkesboro, takes the NASCAR All-Star Race to the Northeast for the first time and brings the NASCAR Championship back home to Homestead-Miami Speedway."

 

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy, NASCAR will once again make history by hosting a brand-new street race at Naval Base Coronado as one of the many highlights of the 2026 schedule. NASCAR San Diego will be a three-day, full-throttle race weekend with all three national series on June 19-21, 2026. This second-ever Cup Series street race will be broadcast on Prime Video on Sunday, June 21, 2026, and will be the first NASCAR event on an active military base.

 

Along with NASCAR San Diego, two new points race events will be from returning venues — Chicagoland Speedway and North Wilkesboro Speedway. TNT Sports will broadcast both events. For the first time since 2019, NASCAR will return to Chicagoland Speedway for an Independence Day extravaganza (July 4-5), featuring the Cup Series and O'Reilly Auto Parts Series racing just outside the city in Joliet, Ill. This will also mark the debut of the Cup Series' Next Gen race car at the 1.5-mile oval.

 

After three successful years hosting the NASCAR All-Star Race, North Wilkesboro Speedway will host a Cup Series points race for the first time in 30 years on Sunday, July 19. This is a historic moment for one of NASCAR's original racetracks as it returns as a points race three decades after its last, which was won by NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon.

 

The 42nd NASCAR All-Star Race will move to Dover Motor Speedway. This will be the first time the All-Star Race has been run on a 1-mile racetrack and hosted at a venue in the Northeast. The O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will complete the weekend for a memorable event at The Monster Mile on May 15-17. The first Cup Series exhibition race of the 2026 season will return to another historic venue, Bowman Gray Stadium, with the Cook Out Clash on Sunday, Feb. 1. Both events will be broadcast by FOX Sports.

 

For the first time since 2019, NASCAR's three national series will crown their champions at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The South Florida racetrack previously hosted the NASCAR Championship from 2002 to 2019. Next season's NASCAR Championship Weekend will be held on Nov. 6-8, 2026.

 

"NASCAR is dedicated to building a bold and forward-thinking schedule each year—one that brings innovation to all three national series while celebrating the legendary tracks our fans have come to love," said Jusan Hamilton, Managing Director of Competition Operations. "With new events in San Diego, Chicagoland and St. Petersburg, alongside our most iconic venues, the 2026 NASCAR schedule delivers a powerful mix of new experiences and cherished traditions for race fans. This dynamic blend also creates one of the most unique and challenging schedules for competitors in all of motorsports."

 

As the most noted tradition in NASCAR, the regular season will officially commence with the 68th running of the DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, Feb. 15, live on FOX. The next 12 Cup Series events will air on FOX Sports platforms, including Darlington Raceway on a new spring date (Sunday, March 22), Texas Motor Speedway on Cinco de Mayo Weekend (Sunday, May 3), iconic road course Watkins Glen International on Mother's Day (Sunday, May 10), and culminating with the NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover (Sunday, May 17).

 

Prime Video returns for its five-race Cup Series broadcast window starting with the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway (Sunday, May 24) followed by Nashville Superspeedway (Sunday, May 31), Michigan International Speedway (Sunday, June 7), Pocono Raceway (Sunday, June 14) and concluding with the second Cup Series street race in NASCAR history, NASCAR San Diego (Sunday, June 21).

 

TNT Sports will take the reins of the Cup Series broadcasts with the official start of the In-Season Challenge at Sonoma Raceway (Sunday, June 28). The In-Season Challenge events will take place throughout the entirety of the five-race TNT Sports portion of the season with races at Chicagoland Speedway (Sunday, July 5), EchoPark Speedway (Sunday, July 12), North Wilkesboro Speedway (Sunday, July 19) and culminating with the $1 million challenge winner being crowned on the bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a memorable race on the famed oval in the Brickyard 400 (Sunday, July 26).

 

On Sunday, Aug. 9, NASCAR returns to Iowa Speedway, where Cup Series coverage shifts to NBC and USA Network for the last 14 races, including the final stretch of regular-season races followed by Saturday night racing at Richmond Raceway (Saturday, Aug. 15), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (Sunday, Aug. 23), and the highly anticipated Coke Zero Sugar 400 regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway (Saturday, Aug. 29).

The Round of 16 in the Cup Series Playoffs begins with the crown jewel Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway (Sunday, Sept. 6) followed by World Wide Technology Raceway for the second consecutive playoff year (Sunday, Sept. 13), and concluding with the Bristol Motor Speedway Night Race (Saturday, Sept. 19).

 

After six successful years hosting the NASCAR Championship, Phoenix Raceway returns to the Round of 8 with a berth in the championship on the line on Sunday, Oct. 18, followed by Talladega Superspeedway (Sunday, Oct. 25) and Martinsville Speedway (Sunday, Nov. 1) to set the Championship 4 competing for the title at Homestead-Miami Speedway (Sunday, Nov. 8).

 

The O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series have exciting additions to their schedules, including both series returning to Rockingham Speedway over Easter weekend (April 3-4) for the second consecutive year.

The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will compete in its first two street races in the 30-plus year history of the series as it debuts at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg (Saturday, Feb. 28) and NASCAR San Diego (Friday, June 19). The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will be the feature event at Saturday's Grand Prix of St. Petersburg following NTT IndyCar Series qualifying for their season-opening race weekend. This will be the first street race in CRAFTSMAN Truck Series history.

 

Additional highlights in the 2026 NASCAR national series schedules include:

 

  • Kansas Speedway (Sunday, Sept. 27) will shift to the opening race of the Cup Series Round of 12. Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Sunday, Oct. 4) will move to the second race of the round followed by the Charlotte ROVAL elimination race  (Sunday, Oct. 11).

 

  • Lime Rock Park, one of the oldest continuously operating road racing circuits in the United States, will return to host its second CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race (Saturday, July 11).

 

  • For the fifth consecutive season, the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will return to exciting Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (Friday, July 24) located 10 miles from downtown Indianapolis.

 

  • Bristol Motor Speedway (Thursday, Sept. 17) will open the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoffs, along with Kansas Speedway (Saturday, Sept. 26) and Charlotte ROVAL (Friday, Oct. 9) in the Round of 10.

​Ontario Legend Car Series Prepares to Unload at Peterborough Speedway

Ontario Legend Car Series Prepares to Unload at Peterborough Speedway
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media


Road trips are common in short track racing. As quickly as a team returns from one show, they're packing the hauler to get ready for another. The next date on the travelling road show for the Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series will be a Saturday, August 23rd National Qualifier stop at Peterborough Speedway.
The final Ontario Legend Car Series appearance during the track's 2025 regular season will be a special event for Skelton Truck Lines and ATS Healthcare. Both companies will bring their employees to the venue Saturday night. Ron and Patti Skelton have added $ 900 to the race purse. $ 250 for 1st, $150 for 2nd and $ 100 for 3rd. The top finisher in each division – Pro, Semi Pro, Master and Young Lion – will each pocket an extra $ 100.
Peterborough Speedway brings out the best in the Ontario Legend Car Series. The last 3 shows at the popular Cottage Country circuit have all been decided by a dramatic last lap pass, including a pair of victories by Dawson Drimmie and a single checkered flag from Parker Traves. As result, a gap of 116 points is all that stands between the 1st and 5th place teams. Included in that cluster is the group's leading JF Enterprises rookie of the year contender Jake Spencer-Walt, who is 4th in the overall running order and only 70 points out of top spot. 40 racers have earned points with the Ontario Legend Car Series this year.
Even as the group heads to Central Ontario for the final time on the track's 2025 regular season schedule, they'll still make stops at Full Throttle Speedway, as well as September 6th and 21st dates at Sunset before concluding the line-up October 10th through 12th at Peterborough for the 32nd annual APC Auto Parts Autumn Colours Classic.
In addition to the Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series' National Qualifier, this weekend's agenda will also include the home track Bone Stock and Late Model divisions, along with the GSR Outlaw Midgets. Reverse and Flagpole Races will be a special attraction, with Kid's Bike Races as the intermission feature. Grandstand gates open at 5:00, with racing at 6:00.

”Thursday Night Thunder” returned to the Airborne Park Speedway this week, and the fans on hand were treated to a little bit of everything

Plattsburgh, NY-"Thursday Night Thunder" returned to the Airborne Park Speedway this week, and the fans on hand were treated to a little bit of everything. A new dad landed in victory lane. A wild finish in a special event for the Mini Stocks. Two first-time winners. And of course, kids' race car rides.

 

In the DirtCar 358 Modified 30-lap feature, Mike Mahaney roared from the ninth starting position on the grid to take the lead by lap 13 and cruise to victory. It's been a whirlwind 10 days for Mahaney, as his wife, Mandee, gave birth to the couple's first child, Emjay. He was also coming off a pair of top-six finishes in the Super DirtCar Series. It was clear "Smooth Shoe" had the car to beat from the drop of the green flag. The Elizabethtown, NY campaigner was picking off cars at a rapid clip and was in second behind early leader George Foley by lap 10. Mahaney blew past Foley on the frontstretch on lap 13 and ran away and hid from the field. Tim Fuller had a stout machine as well and moved to the second spot on lap 17, but couldn't run down Mahaney. Behind Mahaney and Fuller, Tanner Siemons was third, Dave Camara fourth, and Felix Roy fifth.

 

The Mini Stocks took to the track of "The Big A" next for their extra distance 20-lap special event with $1,000 to win. Jp Corrow took advantage of some bumping and banging on the final corner between the top two cars to snatch away the victory. After taking three restarts to get past lap one, several drivers swapped the point in the early going. Joshua Blake and Jeremiah King both led early laps before Glenn Engstrom took control on lap six. Engstrom led the next nine circuits before being overtaken by Nick Harnden on lap 16. Harnden's lead was short-lived as Speedy Bresette wrestled the lead from him on the next lap. Coming to turn three on the final lap, Bresette held a narrow advantage over Harnden and Corrow. Harnden got into the back of Bresette's machine, forcing him to bobble, and then proceeded to lose control himself, taking out one of the implement tires. Corrow was a spectator to all of that action and swept around the outside of "Senor Speed" off of turn four to collect the win and prime payday. Bresette held on for second. Engstrom, Stephen Bresette, and Jake Fountain completed the top five.

 

It was an emotional victory lane as Michael Wright won for the first time in his career in the J & S Steel Sportsmen Modified feature. Making it even more impactful for Wright was that he had to hold off one of the best in the business to do it. Chris Cayea fired from the pole and set the pace for the first 14 laps, and had fashioned a sizeable advantage. Caution flew on lap 13, changing the complexion of things. Cayea led the first lap after the restart, but Wright powered past him on lap 15 and stayed in front the rest of the way. Wright had to fend off a late challenge from Nick Heywood after the yellow came out with two to go. With the field tightened up for the restart, Wright chose the inside lane, not knowing that Heywood had used the top to make his charge. It didn't matter as Wright was quick on the trigger when the race went back to green, holding off Heywood for the victory. Heywood crossed the stripe second, followed by Travis Bruno, Cayea, and Matt Leonard. Despite coming up short, it was still a solid night for Heywood, who trailed Donovan Lussier by 12 points in the championship race coming in. Lussier headed to the pit area late in the race before returning with two to go and placing 15th.

 

Nathaniel Guay jumped to the lead from the second starting spot and led flag to flag to earn his first win of the season in the 9th State Cannabis Renegade feature. Guay had a dominant piece for most of the contest, leading by more than a half a straightaway for most of the event. Once he secured the second position, defending track champion Shawn Duquette started to chip into the margin every lap. In the closing stages, Duquette was able to pull up next to Guay on multiple occasions. Duquette's car seemed to drive off the corners better, but Guay was better going in. On the final turn, Guay ran high, with Duquette trying to sneak inside of him. The duo raced door handle to door handle to the checkered flag with Guay crossing the line first by a fender. Rounding out the top five with a ringside seat to the great battle were Brad Bushey, Tylor Terry, and Josh Terry.

 

After watching her sister collect a couple of first-place trophies this season, Sarah-Ann Lauziere breezed to the first win of her career in the 20-lap Limited Sportsman feature. Lauziere grabbed the lead from the No. 2 starting spot and never gave it up, building a lead of a full straightaway for the duration of the race. Kobe Hernandez, who has won multiple features during the season, quickly moved to the second spot but could not run  Lauziere down. Every time Hernandez appeared to slice into the deficit, the youngster from St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, QC, found another gear. Hernandez held on for the runner-up spot, followed by Gary English, Lea-Jeanne Lauziere, and pole sitter Parker Dermody.

 

The action returns to Airborne Park Speedway on Thursday, August 21st, with a "Sportsman Special" featuring a "Win and You're in the Vermont 200" 50-lap feature with $1500 to win. The winner earns a guaranteed starting spot in the $10,000 Vermont 200. The 358 Modifieds, Limited Sportsman, Renegades, and Mini Stocks will also be in action. Grandstand admission is $15. Kids 12 and under are admitted free. Pit admission is $30 for members and $40 for non-members. Racing begins at 7 p.m.

Peterborough Speedway Bone Stock Fans are Noticing Victoria McLenon

Peterborough Speedway Bone Stock Fans are Noticing Victoria McLenon
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
In many instances, the Bone Stock division is seen as a proving ground for young racers looking to build their skills. Her 2025 performance in Peterborough Speedway's field – presented by Battlefield Equipment Rental – has shown fans that Victoria McLenon doesn't have a lot to prove.
Her recent qualifying heat win and a career best 3rd place main event finish have helped the 24-year-old racer from Oshawa, Ontario find her way into 4th spot in the point standings of a group where more than 30 different racers have scored results in this year's action. The driver of the No. 89 machine is only about 2 dozen markers out of the division's overall lead.
"Fans, friends and family members have provided a ton of support and encouragement since the start of the season," said Victoria McLenon. "Everyone associated with the team has made me excited about coming to the track. We're doing well and having fun. That makes the effort we've been putting into the car worthwhile and gives up something to shoot for at every event."

Victoria McLenon says she is happy to have ongoing sponsorship partners including Comic Alley Toys, Babin's Automotive, KOD Disposal, Matco Tools – David Burns, Caught Anytime Studios, Strawnco77 and Clarke Motorsports Communications as part of the team again this year. The team is also thankful for the help at the track from John, Christen and Brad Lavalle. Ryan Babin, Zachary Cheng and Crew Chief Shawn Solomon pitch-in to make sure the car is ready roll for every race.
In Peterborough Speedway's most recent race program, McLenon logged another top 10 finish in a starting line-up that saw at least 23 Bone Stock teams take the green flag in the night's 20 lap main event.
"I like to have fun during our weekends at the track," said Victoria McLenon, who as a Customer Service Rep and Collectible Card Game Specialist at Comic Alley Toys. "With so many fast drivers in the division, I've had a great year and logged some solid laps week after week. Whenever you can park the racecar following the checkered flag after finishing a few spots ahead of where you started, it has been a good night. The team and I are hoping to keep the ball rolling."
Victoria McLenon and Peterborough Speedway's Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stocks will be back in action Saturday, July 26th in a raceday line-up that also includes the home track Jiffy Lube Super Stocks, along with the OSCAAR Modifieds and Hot Rods, plus the Outlaw Midgets. King of the Hill will be the night's intermission feature. Gates will open at 5:00, with racing at 6:00.

Chad Strawn Takes his Initial GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMod Win

Chad Strawn Takes his Initial GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMod Win
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
Teams with the GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMods came to the green flag with a simple goal. To be the next main event winner in the group's inaugural season. Front row starters Ethan Thompson and Rick Warnes set out to take the checkered flag in the Saturday, July 19th main event at the venue known for Making Memories for Life.
Thompson – who began his local racing career in Peterborough's Renegade Truck field – led the event's early laps until a yellow flag for a frontstretch spin slowed the pace. Thompson was ruled to have left early on the restart, forcing to swap positions with Warnes who was running 3rd at the time of the caution.

On the restart, Chad Strawn used the outside groove to take the race lead and held the spot – by the margin of a about a straightaway – for the balance of the race distance and scored his first main event win under the new SportsMod banner. Thompson rebounded to take 2nd, with Warnes, Glenn Morris and Craig Stevenson completing the top 5.
Peterborough Speedway GEN-3 Electric OMRS race notes: Chad Strawn and his father in-law Glenn Morris shared the night's preliminary round wins…After suffering mechanical issues during the pre-race practice sessions, John Baker Jr. and group newcomer Garrett Yake watched the action from the sidelines…Craig Stevenson – who turned his first career racing laps in 1981 – made his first start since 2018 in a substitute role for his son Brad.
Next on the GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMod schedule will be Saturday, August 2nd at Flamboro Speedway. The 2025 running of the Bill Pickford Memorial is Saturday, August 16th at Peterborough Speedway.

Parker Traves Steals Peterborough Speedway Ontario Legends Victory

Parker Traves Steals Peterborough Speedway Ontario Legends Victory
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
A potent field of 23 Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series teams came to the line for a 25-lap headliner – Saturday, July 19th – at Peterborough Speedway. Adam Cuthbertson and Mitch Wright held the front row starting spots as pack took the green flag in the main event presented by Sidetracked in Muskoka and Firehouse 343.
Cuthbertson was strong early, taking the lead from the drop of the initial green flag. The driver of the No. 79 car – who had announced his retirement from the sport last fall – had the hottest runner on the circuit on his tail, as Dawson Drimmie charged into the runner-up spot and then took the race lead a couple of laps after an early race yellow flag. Reigning series champion Mitch Wright, Cuthbertson, Parker Traves and Cole McFadden joined Drimmie for a lock on the top 5 positions when the field encountered a string of cautions with yellows slowing the pace with 7, 13, 16 and 19 laps on the scoreboard.
A late race charge saw everyone fighting for position as Drimmie looked to be on his way to another checkered flag. Parker Traves got close to the race leader and started looking for a way around the driver of the No. 66 machine. Lap after lap he'd get close to Drimmie and as the field took the white flag, a hole opened up on the backstretch. That was all the room Traves would need, as his No. 08 ride stole the main event win. Drimmie, Adam Cuthbertson, Cole McFadden and rookie of the year point leader Jake Spencer-Walt completed the top 5.
Gibson Baker, Keaton Pipe, Wes Cuthbertson, Andrew McFadden, Hailey McNicol, Caleb Drimmie, Joe Sherman, Paul Pierik. Nathan Killins, John Milwain, Rob Eggleton, Matt Thompson, Mitch Wright, Mackenzie Milwain, Robbie Sikes, Nick Portt, Nathan Huffman and Joshua Milwain rounded out the finishing order.
All finishing positions are unofficial and subject to scoring review and post race inspection.
Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Peterborough Speedway notes: Mitch Wright, Dawson Drimmie, Adam Cuthbertson and Jake Spencer-Walt had the qualifying event wins.
Next on the schedule will be a pair of combined dates with the Great Lakes Legends Series – Saturday and Sunday, August 2nd and 3rd – at Sauble Speedway. The group returns to Peterborough Speedway Saturday, August 9th.
