Bad News Travels Fast and Crushstation crossed the line together in the finals, which would see Crushstation get the win by a claw on the straight-line drag race. RANSOMVILLE, N.Y. — The Versus Monster Trucks Tour launched its 2026 campaign Saturday night at Ransomville Speedway, marking the tour’s fifth consecutive visit to the Western New York facility. A near-capacity crowd filled the grandstands as seven trucks from across the United States and Canada stormed into town: Bad News Travels Fast (Brandon Derrow), Crushstation (Zach Winchenbach), Hurricane Force (Steven Thompson Jr.), Joe Fly (Jordan Healey), Loud and Dirty (Perry Como), Lumberjack (Greg Winchenbach), and Rat Nasty (Ryan Como). The program opened with side-by-side racing, eventually narrowing to a final between Bad News Travels Fast and Crushstation. In a tight finish, the Monster Lobster claimed the victory “by a claw,” giving Winchenbach the first win of the season. The Best Trick contest followed, with each truck receiving two attempts and the crowd determining the winner. Brandon Derrow earned the loudest response after carrying a slap wheelie down the frontstretch, securing the victory for Bad News Travels Fast. Intermission featured kids’ Power Wheels races and a three-race quad showdown between Team New York and Team New Jersey. New York won the first two races, New Jersey claimed the third, and a captain’s challenge was ordered to settle the dispute. In the two-lap runoff, New York prevailed after the New Jersey quad broke down. Freestyle closed the night with three-minute runs for each truck. Jordan Healey opened the segment with a backflip attempt that came up short, leaving Joe Fly turtled and ending the run early. Hurricane Force followed with Steven Thompson Jr. delivering a strong wheelie attack across the frontstretch. Loud and Dirty battled motor issues throughout the evening, and Perry Como’s truck finally gave out after only a few hits. The finale belonged to Crushstation, as Zach Winchenbach delivered the strongest combination of high air, momentum, and speed. His run earned the loudest crowd reaction and secured the freestyle championship. The Versus Monster Trucks Tour returns September 19 for two shows at Stateline Speedway in Jamestown, N.Y., before concluding the season October 10 at Fonda Speedway with a two-show championship finale.

Mat Williamson (6) and Gary Lindberg (37) keep it all in the family as they battle for the win in the 358 Modified feature. RANSOMVILLE, N.Y. — A strong crowd filled the grandstands Friday night as Ransomville Speedway hosted its 14th round of the 2026 season and honored local racing legend Pete Bicknell with his induction into the Wall of Honor. All five weekly divisions were in action on a night presented by IMA and Hardison Funeral Homes, producing a full slate of racing and one of the most dramatic heat race incidents of the year. The moment that stunned the crowd came during the Krown Undercoating Modified heats when Kyle Richner was involved in contact off Turn 2 and launched into a violent series of flips down the backstretch. Richner’s car tumbled end over end at least five times before coming to rest. Despite the severity of the crash, he climbed out under his own power, drawing a loud ovation. In the Ki Po Chevrolet Street Stocks, ten cars took the green for 20 laps. James Henry dominated early before a caution erased his advantage and brought Chase Kish into contention. Kish made the winning move in the closing laps, and post-race tech added another twist when Henry was disqualified, elevating Brandon Sherwood to second and Mike Welch to third. Kish’s third win of the season tightens the championship battle, leaving him eight points behind Sherwood. The Sunflowers of Sanborn Mini Stocks saw eleven cars battle for 15 laps, highlighted by a four-car fight among Cody Griffin, Cole Susice, Jeffrey Wynes, and Ben Hornquist. Hornquist’s strong run ended when his front wheel separated from the car, triggering a caution. On the restart, Griffin pulled away to earn his second win of the season. Wynes’ third-place finish, combined with Hornquist’s DNF, extends his points lead to 54. Seventeen cars answered the call for the Stirling Lubricants Sportsman Modifieds 25-lap feature. Kyle Teeter led early before Tyler Foster took command and held off challenges from Cameron Tuttle and Jacob Bansmer. Foster secured his first career Sportsman Modified victory and moved to seventh in points. Tuttle finished second, while Cody McPherson slipped to a 54-point deficit after a quiet night. The Krown Undercoating 358 Modifieds headlined the evening with fifteen cars set for 30 laps. Steven Lewis and Dave Flannigan battled early until Flannigan clipped a tractor tire, handing Lewis the lead. From there, Mat Williamson and Gary Lindberg charged from deep in the field, overtaking Lewis and Susice as they marched forward. With ten laps remaining, the race became a family showdown between Williamson and Lindberg, with Williamson prevailing for his seventh win of the season as he continues to pad his points lead. The night concluded with the J&D Tires Novice Sportsman Modifieds, where eight cars took the green for 12 laps. Jacob Flynn led every lap until the final drag race off Turn 4, where Robert Henning edged him at the line to steal the victory by mere feet. Ransomville Speedway returns to action Friday, August 7, as Firth’s Jewelers and Crosby’s present the Mackenzie Kulesza Mini Stock Memorial. Gallery

Johnson moved to fourth in points, 20 out of the lead. Bro Roberts finished sixth to cut the standings gap in half, while Gary English’s ninth place run trimmed the margin to eight points. Sixteen Hartson Total Opening 358 Modifieds took the track for their 30-lap feature.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — The Super DIRTcar Series made its long‑awaited return to Airborne Park Speedway on Thursday night, headlining the Thunder in the Adirondacks program after a seven‑year break. Fans packed the facility despite a three‑hour rain delay, and once the track came to life, it was fast, tacky, and unforgiving — perfect for a night of high‑intensity dirt racing. The first feature of the evening was the RainPro of Vermont Limited Sportsman Modifieds, where Stephen Bushey grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and never looked back. Bushey steadily pulled away from Antony Boissonneault to score his first career Airborne Park Speedway victory, while points leader Gary English charged from mid‑pack to finish third, extending his advantage to 15 points. The spotlight then shifted to the Super DIRTcar Series Thunder in the Adirondacks 60, paying $7,200 to win. A strong field of 27 Big‑Block Modifieds took the green. Jimmy Phelps and Peter Britten staged the early battle, but Phelps eventually gained control. Late pressure came from the last two Series champions — Mat Williamson and Matt Sheppard — yet Phelps held firm, securing his second win in the last three tour events. Williamson’s runner‑up finish trimmed the championship gap to 37 points behind Alex Yankowski. In the JS Steel Sportsman Modified 25‑lap, $1,250‑to‑win feature, Caleb Drugan dominated from the start, quickly opening a gap on the field.

Cowboy Cattleaic and Joey St Mary carry the front wheels to a 340-foot pull to win the Limited Pro Tractors. The New York Tractor Pullers returned to the Clinton County Fair in Plattsburgh for the second consecutive year, packing the grandstands with fans eager for horsepower and noise. Four divisions—Limited Pro Tractors, Super Stock Diesel, Modified Tractors, and Modified Trucks—took center stage on a warm summer night. The Super Stock Diesels opened the program, where Code Red, driven by Ken Jamieson, set the tone with a 280‑foot pass. Mechanical trouble sidelined Old Black Witch and Mike Bain, giving Jamieson the victory and leaving the two tied atop the early‑season standings. Four machines rolled out for the Modified Tractors. Heaven Can Wait with Ken Angell posted the first mark at 246.26 feet, but Blue Thunder III and Steven Fraser quickly reset the bar with a strong 262.70‑foot run. Underestimated (Jeremy Smith) and the final entry both gave chase but came up roughly nine feet short. The Limited Pro Tractors produced one of the night’s biggest moments as Joey St. Mary and Cowboy Cattltleaic blasted out the back door with a massive 340‑foot pull.

Mike Mahaney (35) and Felix Roy (91) battle for the lead in the closing laps of the 75-lap $ 5,000-to-win 358 Modified event. PLATTSBURGH — Airborne Park Speedway staged one of its most anticipated programs of the season Saturday night as the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series and DIRTcar Sportsman East Series headlined the annual Battle of Plattsburgh. A strong crowd filled the grandstands for a five‑division card that blended touring‑series intensity with local‑division championship implications. Only the 358 Modifieds and Sportsman Modifieds ran heat races, with all other divisions going directly to their feature events. The RainPro of Vermont Limited Sportsman Modifieds opened the evening with a 15‑car field. A multi‑car incident on the opening lap eliminated several contenders before the race could settle into a rhythm. Adam LaFountain and Josh Patterson controlled the early pace, but the focus shifted as Gary English and Stephen Bushey advanced steadily from deeper in the lineup. English made the decisive move in the second half of the event and maintained a smooth, consistent pace to the finish. The victory allowed him to extend his championship lead to 11 points through six races, while Bushey’s charge underscored the strength of the division’s top runners. Thirteen Renegades took the green flag for their 25‑lap feature. The race quickly became another chapter in the season‑long rivalry between Billy Thwaits and Shawn Duquette, who ran nose‑to‑tail for much of the event. Thwaits held firm in the closing laps, securing his second win of the season and trimming his deficit in the standings to 26 points as the division moves toward the heart of the summer schedule. A field of 31 DIRTcar 358 Modifieds assembled for the 75‑lap, $5,000‑to‑win main event. The first caution appeared on lap 4 when William Racine took a hard ride in turn one, bunching the field for an early restart. Lance Willix and Andrew Buff set the early pace, but the front of the field tightened as Mike Mahaney, Felix Roy, and Matt Williamson moved into contention. Mahaney made the decisive pass on Willix and began to open a gap, while Willix later slipped off the top of the track attempting to regain ground. The closing laps featured a sustained contest between Mahaney and Roy, but Mahaney remained composed through traffic and secured the victory, marking his fourth consecutive win at Airborne Park Speedway. The DIRTcar Sportsman East Series brought 25 cars to the grid for their 30‑lap feature.

A 23‑car Mini Stock field closed the evening. Tyler Warren led the opening laps before pressure arrived from Joe Warren and Jeremiah King. Joe Warren took the lead as the race developed into a Warren‑versus‑Warren contest at the front. The late‑race charge came from points leader Jake Fountain, who advanced from 14th to challenge for the win.
