Jacob Denney took control late and won the 30-lap Chad McDaniel Memorial on Wednesday night at Mitchell County Fairgrounds Raceway in Beloit, Kansas, earning his eighth victory of the season and the 29th USAC national midget win of his career. He passed Kale Drake for the lead on lap 16 and held off late restarts to win by 1.118 seconds. Cannon McIntosh finished second for the second straight night, Drake was third, Justin Grant was fourth and Jakeb Boxell was fifth.

The race was the second night of USAC Mid-America Midget Week and the second round of the USAC national midget series event at Beloit. Denney qualified fourth, and feature-start listings placed him third or fourth. He said improved straightaway speed helped his performance and credited his KKM team, JBL and Toyota. Toyota swept the podium in round two.

The points race was tight entering Beloit. After Gavin Miller won the feature at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex in Missouri on Tuesday night, Denney led the standings with 617 points, three ahead of Kevin Thomas Jr. Denney then strengthened that lead with the Beloit victory, leaving him atop the standings with 697 points and a 22-point edge over Thomas Jr. The next Mid-America Midget Week races were scheduled for July 10-11, 2025, at Jefferson County Speedway in Fairbury, Nebraska.

Gavin Miller opened Mid-America Midget Week with a win Monday night at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex in Sweet Springs, Missouri, taking the USAC national midget feature after starting sixth and leading the final 16 laps of the 40-lap race. Cannon McIntosh finished second, Jacob Denney was third, Kale Drake fourth and Ethan Mitchell fifth, with McIntosh and Colton Robinson trading the lead early before Miller took control late.

The week-long swing will continue with four races in five nights across Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The next stop will be Tuesday at Mitchell County Fairgrounds Raceway in Beloit, Kansas, for the 15th Chad McDaniel Memorial. The schedule will close with back-to-back events at Jefferson County Speedway in Fairbury, Nebraska, and Saturday’s July 11 finale will be a 40-lap Midwest Midget Championship feature paying $10,000 to the winner.

Drake Edwards set fast qualifying at 11.499 seconds, and the Five Star Bodies semi produced a new track record of 2:27.976.

Kyle Cummins took command late and won Friday night’s 30-lap USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship feature at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Indiana, giving the Sprintacular an early storyline as the two-night event got underway. Cummins started fifth, moved into the lead on lap 10, and held on for the win over Justin Grant, who finished second. Jadon Rogers was third, Robert Ballou fourth and Kevin Thomas Jr. fifth.

The race saw Thomas Meseraull lead the first six laps before Grant led laps 7 through 9. Rogers’ third-place run came after he recovered from a flip in his second heat race earlier in the program. Mitchel Moles earned fastest qualifier honors, and Jake Swanson was the hard charger after climbing from 18th to 8th.

Sprintacular returned to Lincoln Park for a two-night event on July 3-4, with Friday’s 30-lap feature paying $6,000 to win and Saturday’s 40-lap finale set to pay $10,000 to win. Cummins entered the weekend with a 90-point series lead and a 24-race top-10 streak. Justin Grant, Briggs Danner, Kevin Thomas Jr. and Logan Seavey were among the expected contenders, along with past Sprintacular winners Justin Grant, Cummins, C.J. Leary, Robert Ballou and Kevin Thomas Jr. Lincoln Park locals Harley Burns and Shane Cottle were also in the field, and both nights were streamed live on FloRacing.

USAC Silver Crown is set to mark its 500th championship event Sunday night, July 5, when the series stages the 22nd running of the Sumar Classic at Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Indiana. The race will cover 100 laps on the half-mile dirt oval and has drawn a 23-car entry list.

Justin Grant and C.J. Leary headline the field as former Sumar winners. Grant won the race in 2018 and 2022, and Leary won in 2016. The lineup also includes Jerry Coons Jr., Shane Cottle, Chase Stockon, Briggs Danner, Bill Rose, Robert Ballou, Mitchel Moles, Patrick Bruns and Mario Clouser.

Ballou is returning to the Sumar roster for the first time in 10 years. Seven drivers are entered as Sumar rookies, and the reports name Kyle Cummins and Hayden Reinbold among them. One source also lists Dave Peperak, while another names Darin Naida. Reinbold enters unbeaten in his USAC Silver Crown career after winning the season opener at the Kansas State Fairgrounds.

USAC inducted its 13th Hall of Fame class on July 1 at its headquarters in Speedway, Indiana, honoring a group tied to the organization’s history across technical, promotional and competitive roles. The 2026 class was presented by Avanti Windows & Doors and RDI Development.

The class included officials Jack Beckley and John Cooper, car owner Blackie Fortune and promoter Sam Nunis. Beckley was recognized for his work as a top mechanic and later as USAC technical director. Cooper was honored as USAC’s first employee and for helping build the organization’s public relations and administrative foundation before later becoming a leader at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fortune was cited as the most successful USAC car owner of the 1980s, and Nunis was credited with promoting 42 USAC national events at Trenton Speedway.

The driver honorees were Johnny Parsons, George Snider and Tom Sneva, who were recognized for long, title-rich careers in midget, sprint, Silver Crown and Indy car racing. Sneva won the Indianapolis 500 in 1983, and Snider was recognized as USAC’s first Silver Crown champion. The trio was also honored for race-winning achievements, championship success and Indianapolis 500 starts.

Kevin Thomas Jr. was declared the winner of Tuesday’s BC39 opener at the Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after post-race technical inspection disqualified Drake Edwards and the Chase McDermand Racing No. 40D. Officials said the car’s EFI box was set above the legal RPM limit, a violation under sections 413.A.3 and 413.K of the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship rulebook. Edwards and McDermand Racing were moved to last place, and the ruling changed the event’s points, payout distribution and Wednesday’s BC39 starting lineup.

Edwards had originally won the 30-lap Stoops Star Spangled Showdown, taking the lead from pole sitter Gavin Miller on lap 7 and controlling the final 24 laps. He also had early contact with teammate Briggs Danner on lap 6 before a caution and later held off a late near-miss with a lapped car. The win would have been Edwards’ second career USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship victory. Kevin Thomas Jr. finished second on the track, with Gavin Miller third, Zach Wigal fourth and Jake Swanson fifth.

The race opened the two-night BC39 Presented by Avanti Windows & Doors at the Speedway, Indiana track. The event was scheduled to conclude Wednesday with a 39-lap main event paying $20,039 to win.

Kyle Cummins won the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship feature Saturday night at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Michigan, leading all 30 laps after starting second. The victory was his second straight at Butler, his sixth USAC National Sprint Car Series win of the 2026 season and the 36th of his career. He moved to 14th on the series’ all-time wins list, became the first driver to win back-to-back USAC National Sprint Car features in Michigan since Jack Hewitt in 1994-95, and earned the K&N Clean Air Award for leading every lap.

Chase Stockon finished second, Mitchel Moles third, Briggs Danner fourth and Robert Ballou fifth. C.J. Leary started from the pole and finished sixth, while Justin Grant was seventh after setting fast time in qualifying with a 14.872-second lap. Cummins also extended his points lead over Moles.

The race was interrupted by a flip involving Keith Sheffer II on lap 2, and Jason Ferguson also flipped during qualifying. Hayden Reinbold earned hard-charger honors by advancing from 22nd to 13th. The series was scheduled to race July 3-4 at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Indiana.

Heavy overnight rain forced USAC to cancel Friday night’s AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship race at Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio, ending the first half of a rare back-to-back weekend before it could begin. Forecast showers added to the weather concerns, and officials said conditions made it impossible to proceed safely or as planned. The cancellation applied only to the Millstream round of the national sprint car schedule.

USAC was still scheduled to resume racing Saturday night at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Michigan. The two-race weekend was set to mark the first doubleheader at Millstream and Butler in 54 years, with both races planned to be streamed live on FloRacing.

Kyle Cummins entered the weekend leading the championship standings by 87 points after winning both Millstream and Butler in 2025. He also won the USAC Eastern Storm title. Mitchel Moles, who won twice during Eastern Storm and owns the one-lap track records at both speedways, was among the other drivers in the spotlight, along with Briggs Danner, who has four series wins this season, Justin Grant, who is chasing his 100th career USAC national victory, and Hayden Reinbold, who finished third at Butler last year.

Dakoda Armstrong won the 69th Hoosier Hundred in the USAC Silver Crown Series on June 25 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in Brownsburg, Indiana, leading the final 91 laps after starting fourth. C.J. Leary, who won the pole in qualifying, finished second, Tyler Roahrig placed third, Russ Gamester was fourth and Justin Grant took fifth. Armstrong earned the clean air award for leading every lap after taking the lead, and Gamester was the hard charger after climbing from 18th to fourth.

The 100-lap race drew a 23-car field and came with Leary entering as the series points leader. After the Hoosier Hundred, Leary still led the standings ahead of Grant, with Mario Clouser third. Roahrig was the defending Hoosier Hundred winner, while Bobby Santos was seeking a second victory in the event and remained tied with Kody Swanson and Tracy Hines for the most USAC wins at IRP with 15 each. Russ Gamester made a record 31st Hoosier Hundred start, Ryan Newman returned to the event for the first time since 2000, and four drivers, Colton Bettis, Briggs Danner, Chelby Hinton and Kevin Studley, made their Hoosier Hundred debuts. The next USAC Silver Crown race was scheduled for July 5 at Terre Haute Action Track.
