For 2026 late model speedweeks, we saw the World of Outlaws zag on years of cooperation and schedule a race weekend directly against the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series opener. The move drew mixed opinions at the time, and it split cars in Florida and forced teams to make early decisions on what tour they would follow. No more games on signing up for both series, and deciding later in the spring....

One illegal decision five years ago set off a chain reaction that reshuffled teams, drivers, and crew chiefs across sprint car racing, and the effects are still shaping championships today.

Rico Abreu led every lap at Eagle while most of the High Limit regulars had a night to forget, and the championship standings look completely different this morning. We break down what went wrong for the favorites, why a familiar blue oval logo quietly appeared on a sprint car last night, and what it all means heading into a pivotal stretch.

A single crash may have blown the World of Outlaws championship wide open, and a tiny Pennsylvania race track might be fighting for its survival against complaints from a neighbor. We cover it all, plus talk Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora, High Limit, and more.

Brent Marks suddenly has the speed he's been missing all year. But outside of his sprint car's wrap, have things changed? We've got the answers, plus sprint car crew chief changes, early action at Eldora, and more.

Mansfield Speedway's first big weekend drew packed crowds and six-figure paydays — but what happened on the track left drivers fuming and two rival chassis builders grabbing heavy equipment in the middle of the night. We break down the good, the bad, and why this $8 million gamble isn't done yet.

We've joined up with the guys from Knoxville Nights to draft teams of sprint car drivers, but there are rules and some guys can't be taken. It's on you to decide who got the best team. Plus it was just a fun excuse to get together and talk racing.

It's a tale of two sprint car seasons: Brent Marks is searching for sponsors and speed after his deal with Fenton fell apart, while Aaron Reutzel can't stop winning and is pulling away in the High Limit championship.

The Shark Racing 1A made a surprise return at Port Royal with a new driver nobody expected. Plus, Aaron Reutzel's incredible streak continues, Rico Abreu and Logan Schuchart split Eldora wins, and an emotional rookie victory that'll hit you right in the feels.

Tire doping penalties just got a major overhaul, and many of the big dirt late model series are on the same page. We break down the new three-tier penalty structure, what it means for teams, and why Shannon Babb's recent case was the first glimpse of these changes in action.
