Cooper Broll Steps Into Solo Am Class Campaign with Forte Racing’s Expanding McLaren Trophy America Program

Monrovia, California (Monday, March 23, 2026) – Forte Racing has announced the addition of the No. 100 PiedParker McLaren Artura Trophy Evo to its 2026 McLaren Trophy America program, with Cooper Broll set to compete in the Am class as a solo driver.

The entry further expands Forte Racing’s McLaren Trophy America lineup, highlighting the team’s continued commitment to developing emerging talent while competing at the front of the field.

Broll enters the 2026 season following a steady rise through the sports car racing ranks. In his debut MTA season in 2025, he collected multiple podium finishes, quickly demonstrating the speed and consistency required to compete at the front of the field. He began his racing career with Skip Barber Racing, competing for three seasons across SRO TC America and McLaren Trophy America. After finishing sixth in the TCA championship in his inaugural season in 2023, Broll advanced to the TCX class in 2024, securing third overall in the championship.

Originally from the Lake Tahoe region, Broll developed his competitive foundation as a ski racer in the Sierra Nevada, building the discipline, focus, and mental approach that continue to define his performance on track. He is currently pursuing a degree in Finance at the University of Nevada, Reno, while also competing in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America in 2026.

Broll returns to McLaren Trophy America ready to take on a new challenge as a solo driver in the Am class.

“I am very excited to be back in McLaren Trophy America in 2026 with Forte Racing,” said Broll. “After a strong 2025 season, I feel ready to go back into it with a new challenge, driving as a single driver. I am confident that with Forte’s professionalism and skill, we are going to have a really special season together. With such an experienced team backing me, I am focused on the top step this year.”

Forte Racing Technical Director Peter Jacobs sees strong potential in Broll as he continues his progression.

“As I embark on my 41st year in professional motorsports and my eleventh consecutive season with Shane, I am thrilled to collaborate with another promising young driver working his way up the ranks, Cooper Broll. I’ve always found it a joy to witness the success of the talented young drivers I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring as they achieve important milestones throughout their careers. Cooper showed strong pace and consistency in his first McLaren Trophy America season, collecting multiple podium finishes and finishing second in the Pro class championship, results that highlight his determination and eagerness to continue learning.”

Team owner Shane Seneviratne said the No. 100 entry reflects both the strength of the program and the team’s commitment to driver development.

“Cooper is exactly the type of driver we look to work with at Forte Racing,” said Seneviratne. “He has shown consistent progression at each step in his career, and moving into a solo driver role in McLaren Trophy America is a great opportunity for him to continue that growth. The Am class is very competitive, and we believe he has the pace, mindset, and work ethic to be a strong contender this season. We’re excited to have him as part of our program.”

Forte Racing enters the 2026 season with a deep and competitive McLaren Trophy America lineup and remains committed to delivering a championship-level program for its drivers and partners.

The 2026 McLaren Trophy America season begins at Sonoma Raceway, where Broll will make his debut in the No. 100 PiedParker entry.

Two-Time and Reigning SMART Modified Tour Champion To Drive No. 5 Victory Custom Trailers Ford Mustang in NFPA 250

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 23, 2026) – Rising star Luke Baldwin will grab another rung on the NASCAR ladder when he makes his NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series debut on Saturday in the NFPA 250 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.

The two-time and reigning SMART Modified Tour champion will drive the No. 5 Victory Custom Trailers Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Hettinger Racing.

“With all that Luke has achieved of late, a lot of people have their eyes on him. We’re proud to be the ones he chose to make his NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series debut,” said team owner Chris Hettinger.

“The O’Reilly Series is a big step up, but Martinsville is a flat and fast short track, and it’s the kind of place where Luke has excelled. He’s proven he can adapt quickly and run up front driving all kinds of cars. Martinsville is the right track and this is the right time for Luke to have this opportunity.”

While new to the O’Reilly Series, Baldwin is not new to Martinsville. The 19-year-old has a pair of NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour starts at the .526-mile oval, along with a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start. Boding well for Baldwin’s O’Reilly Series debut is that he earned his best Martinsville result in his first race there – Oct. 26, 2024, when the third-generation racer qualified second and finished seventh in the Modified Tour season finale.

There is also a family connection to Martinsville. Baldwin’s grandfather, Tommy Baldwin Sr., is a two-time Modified Tour winner at Martinsville (April 23, 1988, and Oct. 30, 1988), and Baldwin’s father, Tommy Baldwin Jr., was the crew chief for those wins. Today, Tommy Baldwin Jr., is the competition director for Rick Ware Racing’s NASCAR Cup Series team after successful stints as a Cup Series crew chief and team owner.

“Martinsville has always meant a lot to my family, so to have my own opportunity at the track is definitely special,” Baldwin said. “It’s a place where I have a decent level of comfort in terms of feel and what I need in the racecar to make a fast lap. It’s tight, it’s physical, and you have to race smart to be there at the end. I’ve been fortunate to have some good experiences there already, so the goal is to lean on that and keep learning throughout the race.”

Baldwin comes into 2026 after an impressive 2025. His back-to-back SMART Modified Tour titles made him the youngest two-time champion in series history. At the season-ending awards banquet, Baldwin was named Driver of the Year, as he also led the series in wins (four), poles (three), laps led (293), and top-five finishes (10).

At the same time, Baldwin helped deliver the 2025 zMAX CARS Tour owners’ title to Rick Ware Racing (RWR) in the Pro Late Model division. The Mooresville, North Carolina, native split driving duties with four other drivers, but Baldwin still led the way with two victories. His pole run and second-place finish in the season finale Oct. 18 at North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway clinched the championship for RWR.

“I’m really proud of what we accomplished last season,” Baldwin said. “Winning back-to-back SMART Modified Tour championships takes a lot of hard work from a lot of people, and being able to help RWR win a CARS Tour owners’ title made it even more special. Opportunities like this don’t come around without results, so I’m really thankful for everyone who’s helped me get to this point.”

Baldwin made five Truck Series starts in 2025 and is set to more than double that effort in 2026 with a 12-race stint for Team Reaume that begins next weekend at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway.

“This is a really good way to head into Rockingham,” Baldwin said. “The O’Reilly Series is a step up in competition, and Martinsville is a place that really challenges you as a driver. There’s a lot to learn in a short amount of time, and that’s how it’ll be at Rockingham, too. A solid weekend at Martinsville is the best preparation for next week’s Truck race.”

Baldwin’s O’Reilly Series debut begins Friday with a 50-minute practice starting at 4:30 p.m. EDT before qualifying at 5:35 p.m. The NFPA 250 goes green on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EDT with live, flag-to-flag coverage provided by The CW and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

How Iowa’s Freeze-Thaw Cycle Destroys Your Tires

By

If you live in Iowa, you already know that winter is not just cold; it is also unpredictable. Temperatures fluctuate above and below freezing for weeks at a time, creating a freeze-thaw cycle. While most people consider the impact on roads and infrastructure, fewer realize the significant toll it takes on their tires. Understanding how this cycle works and how it damages your vehicle can help you extend the life of your tires and stay safer on the road.

What Is the Freeze-Thaw Cycle
The freeze-thaw cycle happens when temperatures fluctuate around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Water seeps into cracks and pores in surfaces like asphalt. When temperatures drop, that water freezes and expands. As temperatures rise again, the ice melts and contracts. This repeated expansion and contraction weakens surfaces over time. In Iowa, this process can repeat dozens of times throughout late fall, winter, and early spring, making it one of the most damaging seasonal patterns for both roads and tires.

How Roads Break Down in Iowa Winters
As water expands during freezing, it puts pressure on the pavement. Over time, this pressure causes cracks to widen and new ones to form. When vehicles drive over these weakened areas, chunks of pavement can break loose, creating potholes. Iowa is particularly vulnerable because of its mix of moisture, snow, and fluctuating temperatures. These potholes can appear suddenly and grow rapidly, often catching drivers off guard. Even well-maintained roads can become hazardous within a short period.

Why Potholes Are So Hard on Tires
When your vehicle hits a pothole, the impact forces your tire to compress against the wheel rim. This can cause immediate or gradual damage depending on the severity of the hit. Common issues include sidewall bulges, internal tire structure damage, and even complete blowouts. Repeated stress from multiple pothole encounters can weaken your tires over time, even if you don’t notice damage right away. This is why drivers often experience tire issues toward the end of winter or early spring.

The Hidden Damage You Cannot See
Not all tire damage is obvious. While a flat tire or visible bulge is easy to spot, internal damage can go unnoticed. The layers inside a tire can separate after repeated impacts, resulting in reduced stability and an increased risk of failure. Small cracks in the rubber can also develop due to cold temperatures and road stress. These issues may not cause immediate problems, but can significantly shorten the lifespan of your tires and compromise safety.

Cold Temperatures and Tire Pressure
Temperature swings during the freeze-thaw cycle also affect tire pressure. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, tire pressure can decrease by about 1 to 2 PSI. In Iowa winters, where temperatures can change dramatically in a single day, this means your tires are constantly expanding and contracting. Low tire pressure reduces your tire’s ability to absorb impact, making it more vulnerable to pothole damage. It also leads to uneven wear, further weakening the tire over time.

Rubber Becomes Less Flexible in the Cold
Cold weather causes tire rubber to stiffen. When rubber loses flexibility, it cannot absorb shocks as effectively. This makes every bump, crack, and pothole more damaging. Instead of flexing and bouncing back, a stiff tire is more likely to crack or sustain structural damage. This is one of the reasons winter driving can be so hard on your tires, even if you are careful.

Salt, Ice, and Chemical Exposure
Iowa roads are often treated with salt and other deicing chemicals during winter storms. While these substances improve traction and safety, they can also contribute to tire wear. Salt can dry out rubber over time, causing it to crack and become brittle. Combined with the mechanical stress from the freeze-thaw cycle, this creates a harsh environment for your tires. Regular cleaning can help, but many drivers underestimate how much these chemicals accelerate tire degradation.

Alignment and Suspension Stress
Hitting potholes not only damages your tires, but it can also affect your vehicle’s alignment and suspension. When your alignment is off, your tires wear unevenly and more quickly. Suspension components like shocks and struts can also take a hit, reducing your vehicle’s ability to handle rough roads. This creates a cycle where damaged suspension leads to increased tire wear, and worn tires exacerbate the impacts even further.

Warning Signs Your Tires Are Suffering
After a winter of freeze-thaw cycles, it is important to inspect your tires for signs of damage. Look for uneven tread wear, cracks in the sidewall, bulges, or vibrations while driving. You might also notice your vehicle pulling to one side, which can indicate alignment issues. Addressing these problems early can prevent more costly repairs and reduce the risk of a sudden tire failure.

How to Protect Your Tires During Iowa Winters
While you cannot control the weather, you can take steps to minimize damage. Check your tire pressure regularly, especially during temperature swings. Avoid potholes whenever possible, even if it means slowing down or changing lanes safely. Rotate your tires according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for your vehicle to promote even wear. Consider switching to winter tires, which are designed to remain flexible in cold conditions and provide better shock absorption.

The Importance of Regular Inspections
One of the most effective ways to protect your tires is through regular inspections. A professional can identify issues you might miss and recommend solutions before problems worsen. Visiting a trusted tire shop in Mount Pleasant, IA, can help ensure your tires are in good condition and ready to handle the challenges of Iowa roads. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your tires but also improves safety and performance.

When It Is Time to Replace Your Tires
Even with proper care, tires do not last forever. If your tread depth is low, your tires show visible damage, or you experience frequent pressure loss, it may be time for a replacement. Driving on worn or damaged tires increases your risk of accidents, especially in winter conditions. Investing in new tires before the next freeze-thaw cycle begins can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

Why Local Expertise Matters
Iowa’s unique climate means local experience is invaluable when it comes to tire care. A local tire shop in Mount Pleasant, IA, understands the specific challenges posed by freeze-thaw cycles and can recommend the best tires and maintenance practices for your needs. From selecting the right type of tire to ensuring proper installation and alignment, working with experts who know the area can make a significant difference.

Final Thoughts on Protecting Your Tires
The freeze-thaw cycle is one of the most damaging forces your tires will face in Iowa. From potholes and pressure changes to chemical exposure and cold temperatures, the combination of factors creates a perfect storm for tire wear and damage. By understanding how these conditions affect your vehicle and taking proactive steps to protect your tires, you can extend their lifespan and stay safer on the road. Regular maintenance, careful driving, and support from a trusted tire shop in Mount Pleasant, IA can help you navigate even the harshest Iowa winters with confidence.

Goodyear 400
Darlington, S.C. – March 22, 2026

AUSTIN CINDRIC No. 2 FREIGHTLINER FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 12TH STAGE 1: 8TH STAGE 2: 8TH FINISH: 5TH POINTS: 21ST
RACE RUNDOWN: Austin Cindric and the No. 2 Freightliner Ford Mustang Dark Horse team delivered a strong, methodical performance in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, coming away with a top-five finish, his first of the 2026 season. Cindric started 12th and quickly worked his way into the top 10, reporting early that his car was on the tight side. As the opening run unfolded and teams cycled through green-flag pit stops, the No. 2 team made gains, with Cindric climbing to fifth while noting the balance had shifted freer. He finished Stage 1 in eighth and came to pit road for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment. Taking the green flag for Stage 2 from seventh, Cindric continued to manage a car that fluctuated between free and tight. He reported being freer on the run but still searching for the right balance as a caution on Lap 111 brought the field back together. The team made additional adjustments during the stop, but as the run progressed, Cindric battled a tightening condition. Following another green-flag pit cycle, he found himself back in 10th before charging to an eighth-place finish in Stage 2. Cindric lined up eighth for the final stage and remained in the mix as varying pit strategies shuffled the running order when a caution shortly after the restart saw several cars stay out, leaving Cindric to restart just outside the top 10 despite a solid stop by the Freightliner crew. He continued to fight a tight-handling condition deep into the run but maintained track position inside the top 10. With just over 50 laps remaining, Cindric made his final green-flag stop for four tires and fuel, cycling back to 11th. From there, he steadily worked his way forward, breaking back into the top 10 and climbing to seventh with 25 laps to go. Over the closing laps, Cindric capitalized on his track position and pace, charging into the top five to secure his first career top-five finish at Darlington Raceway in nine Cup Series starts.

CINDRIC’S THOUGHTS: “It was a difficult weekend for the teams to kind of decide what to bring and the right things to do. My group proves time and time again that they come prepared, whether it’s changes or practice to race, things like that, so we really had a solid package to work with all day, something that we could adjust with and change with the conditions. We were overdue for this group to have a good run and I’m proud to be able to deliver it and get us to the finish line for the first time, it feels like all year without an issue, so I’m proud of the team and something to build on.”

RYAN BLANEY No. 12 MENARDS/DELTA FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 7TH STAGE 1: 3RD STAGE 2: 12TH FINISH: 3RD POINTS: 2ND
RACE RUNDOWN: Ryan Blaney and the No. 12 Menards/Delta Ford Mustang Dark Horse team jumped to second in the points standings with a third-place finish Sunday at Darlington, Blaney’s second top-five effort in his last three starts at the 1.366-mile oval. After starting seventh, Blaney worked his way up to fifth within the first 30 laps prior to the start of the green flag pit cycle. Crew chief Jonathan Hassler called the Menards/Delta Ford to pit road on lap 38 to begin the cycle, allowing Blaney to vault to second in the running order by the time the cycle completed, resulting in a third-place finish in Stage 1. A pit road penalty during the 12 team’s stop between stages saw Blaney take the ensuing restart from 20th, but responded by charging up to 12th by lap 144. Blaney hit pit road five laps later towards the end of the green flag pit cycle and picked up a few spots over the final 18 laps of the segment, crossing the line 12th in Stage 2. Hassler planned to split the final stretch into a pair of 50-lap runs, but an early caution brought a majority of the field to pit road. Another issue on the stop shuffled Blaney back to 20th in the order prior to taking the green with 91 laps remaining, as he went on to go through the field once again to regain his place in the top-10 by lap 225. Blaney reached as high as sixth when Hassler made the call for the final stop of the day under green on lap 241 as the Menards/Delta Ford went on offense for the final 52-lap run. Blaney was scored fourth when the cycle completed and showed his strength of maintaining pace the rest of the way to take the checkered flag third with several of the leaders struggling with tire wear down the stretch.

BLANEY’S THOUGHTS: “Really proud of the 12 guys for bringing me a good car and getting it better all day and kind of adjusting to where we were in the pack. That’s kind of a tough way to do it, but appreciate Menards, Delta, Ford, Ford Racing, Dent Wizard, Wabash, BODYARMOR, Advance Auto Parts, DEX Imaging, the Wurth Group for what everybody does on this program. I thought the package was really fun. You could kind of make it angry, and you were going to pay the price, and that stuff is pretty good. I think it was the first time in my Cup career that I have let guys go on a restart or on a green flag cycle, and I said to myself, I’m going to see you in about 20 [laps]. That happened multiple times. I think we’re making progress on that, so we’ll keep going. Like I said, proud of the fight by the 12 guys.”

JOEY LOGANO No. 22 SHELL-PENNZOIL FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 29TH STAGE 1: 33RD STAGE 2: 34TH FINISH: 33RD POINTS: 16TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Joey Logano and the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Mustang Dark Horse team came away with a 33rd-place finish in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington. Logano battled handling issues from the onset of Sunday’s 400-mile event before the 22 team had its first opportunity to adjust on it during a green flag stop on lap 46 before closing out Stage 1 with a 33rd-place finish. As the balance initially improved during the following run, the Shell-Pennzoil Ford built too free over the course of the long run, resulting in a 34th-place result in Stage 2. Logano continued to battle to get back on the lead over the course of the final segment, but only one caution over the final stretch thwarted any progress as the No. 22 settled for a 33rd-place finish on the day.

LOGANO’S THOUGHTS: “A tough weekend all around for our 22 team. We just never had a chance to recover after going down a lap early and it kept compounding throughout the day. A lot to work on for us and hopefully we can get things in the right direction at Martinsville.”

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Martinsville Speedway for the Cook Out 400 on Sunday, March 29. Live coverage begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

Daniel Suárez – Driver, No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 11TH

FINISH: 7TH

POINTS: 14TH

Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 7 NationsGuard Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Spire Motorsports, ran inside the top 10 for the majority of Sunday’s Goodyear 400. He finished in the seventh position — his best finish in 17 starts at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway — to earn his second top-10 finish of the season.

Suárez started 11th and ran inside the top 10 for much of Stage 1 before the No. 7 team made a green-flag stop for an adjustment to improve grip for the black-and-green machine. The 34-year-old driver cycled back into 10th place and put his fresh tires to the test to power through to a ninth-place finish, securing two bonus points as the green-and-white checkered flag waved.

Suárez gained four positions following the pit cycle at the break to start Stage 2 in fifth. A caution at Lap 112 brought him to pit road, where crew chief Ryan Sparks called for air pressure adjustments, fuel, and four fresh Goodyear tires. Suárez returned to the track in seventh with 69 laps remaining in the stage. On Lap 145, he received an additional adjustment and maintained top-10 pace to secure an additional bonus point at the stage end.

The final segment went green with 104 laps remaining in the 293-lap race and Suárez sitting in the 15th position. A caution flag waved shortly after the green flag waved and the driver reported that the car’s fire-off feels better than on the previous run, but still not as strong as it was at the start of the race. Sparks directed Suárez to stay out on the track for prime track position and the No. 7 restarted fourth with 91 laps to go in the event. Suárez made his final stop under green with 51 laps remaining and eventually crossed the finish line in seventh to advance to the 14th position in the driver championship point standings.

Daniel’s Post-Race Comments
“So proud of this No. 7 NationsGuard Chevrolet team. They did an incredible job all day long. I feel like every single week, if we look at our numbers and we can get a little bit better, that’s all I can ask for. We’re not trying to hit home runs right now, we’re just putting one step in front of the other, and that’s how progress happens. The culture of the team is pretty incredible. There are great people here; the structure’s solid, and I’m just really happy and proud to be a part of this organization. And the best part is that Spire Motorsports just continues to grow. We’re not even close to our full potential, so we just have to keep doing our thing; keep building, and get better and better.”

Michael McDowell – Driver, No. 71 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 20TH

FINISH: 20TH

POINTS: 17TH

Michael McDowell finished 20th in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway to earn his fourth top 20 of the 2026 season to go along with a famed “Darlington Stripe”.

McDowell qualified 20th, but took the green flag from the 18th position after two entries were sent to the rear. Tire wear was a concern throughout the garage, but the Travis Peterson-led team ran until lap 43 before heading to pit road under green for full service, exiting 25th. The veteran driver’s long-run pace kept him competitive, but he continued to battle a loose-handling Delaware Life Chevrolet in Stage 1. A bold three-wide move with four laps to go, earned the 41-year-old driver the free pass after crossing the line 21st after at the conclusion of the 90-lap opening stage.

A lap-112 caution brought the lead lap cars to pit road where the Glendale, Ariz., native was called for a speeding penalty that pushed him to the rear of the field for the ensuing restart. He took the green flag from 33rd on fresher rubber than the second half of the field and gained 12 positions in just four green-flag laps. During the green-flag cycle, McDowell found himself in the top 10 following a trip to pit road. Despite a net gain of 20 positions since the start of the stage, the Delaware Life driver fought handling woes later in the run, resulting in a finish of 19th at the green-and-white checkered flag ending Stage 2.

A loose right-rear tire at the stage break forced the team to head back to pit road for four fresh Goodyear Eagles, restarting 25th for the 100-lap marathon of the Final Stage. A quick caution just four laps later sent most of his competitors to pit road and moved McDowell up to fifth after staying out on slightly older tires. The No. 71 Chevy ran seven laps longer than competitors to pit from the top five for green-flag stops, gaining a tire advantage with 45 laps to the checkered flag. Following the cycle, the veteran moved foward from a running position of 23rd to gain position late in the run for a finish of 20th after 400 miles.

Michael’s Post-Race Comments
“it was a tough day for the Delaware Life Chevrolet, but Spire Motorsports as a whole showed good speed. Carson (Hocevar) and Daniel (Suárez) both brought home good and complete days in the top five and top 10, so we will have a good notebook when we come back for the Southern 500. Not the day we wanted, but we will make it up at Martinsville next week.”

Carson Hocevar – Driver, No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 16TH

FINISH: 4TH

POINTS: 13TH

Carson Hocevar, driver of Spire Motorsports’ No. 77 Chili’s Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, earned his second top-five finish of the season in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. He crossed the finish line in fourth place to secure his best result in six NASCAR Cup Series starts at “The Track Too Tough to Tame.”

The No. 77 team endured an eventful practice and qualifying session Saturday afternoon that led the team to replace the right-rear upper control arm Sunday morning during final checks, and was forced to start at the rear of the field for the unapproved adjustment. Despite the setback, the Portage, Mich., native had his eyes set forward from the drop of the green flag, reaching the 29th position in just 10 laps despite experiencing a severe lack of grip in the rear. The team fell one-lap down after the opening round of green-flag pit stops, and completed Stage 1 in 24th.

During the ensuing stage break, veteran crew chief Luke Lambert made the call for four tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment to take a swing at the rear insecurity his driver had fought throughout the opening segment. The 2024 Cup Series Rookie of the Year restarted 27th on Lap 101 and advanced to 23rd when a caution flag was waved 11 laps later. Unfortunately, the team was one position out of contention for the free pass, but elected to take the wave around during the caution period to return to the lead lap. Hocevar restarted 21st on Lap 117, and after another round of green-flag pit stops, advanced to 16th at the conclusion of Stage 2.

The 23-year-old driver restarted 19th for the 100-lap run to the finish, embarking on a spirited drive to the checkered flag. Hocevar surpassed seven drivers in the final 25 laps to take the checkered flag in fourth. He gained 32 positions from the drop of the green flag to be the “hard charger” of the day at a facility known to be tough to advance position and earned the best result for the Chevrolet camp.

Carson’s Post-Race Comments
“Super proud of this No. 77 Chili’s Marg Machine Chevrolet team. It hasn’t been a lack of effort, but just a lack of luck that takes us out of finishes, so it’s nice to finally get one today. Chili’s put a lot of effort into this throwback scheme, so it’s great to give it a good run.”

Event: Goodyear 400
Location: Darlington Raceway, Darlington, South Carolina
Date: Sunday, March 22, 2026

Start: 26th
Finish: 17th

Josh Berry and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team put together their strongest stretch in the closing laps of Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, advancing seven positions over the final 50 laps to secure a 17th-place finish. It marked their second top-20 result of the season, with the first coming in the season-opening Daytona 500 (ninth).

Berry and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang Dark Horse started 26th and worked their way into the top 10 during a cycle of green-flag pit stops in the opening 90-lap Stage. However, the team lost a lap during the cycle and finished Stage 1 in 22nd, one lap down.

In Stage 2, the team took advantage of a caution following a Lap 112 incident to take the wave-around and return to the lead lap. Berry maintained position from there and finished the Stage in 23rd.

The final Stage saw steady progress from the No. 21 team as Berry settled into the top 20 for much of the closing run. After a green-flag stop on Lap 244, Berry methodically worked forward through the field, climbing into the top 20 by Lap 286. He gained three more positions in the closing laps to cap off a 17th-place finish.

Berry and the Wood Brothers now turn their attention to Martinsville Speedway for next Sunday’s Cook Out 400.

JUSTIN BOND WINS IN PHOENIX IN JBS EQUIPMENT NHRA PRO MOD SERIES AT RACE POWERED BY LAT RACING OILS

CHANDLER, Ariz. (March 22, 2026) — Justin Bond outlasted an impressive field in the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports on Sunday at Firebird Motorsports Park, defeating Stevie “Fast” Jackson in the final round as part of this weekend’s FMP NHRA Arizona Nationals presented by NGK Spark Plugs.

The event was the second of 11 races in the series and was powered by LAT Racing Oils.

In the final round, Bond won when Jackson went red, but he also put together a standout run in the championship round, going 5.736-seconds at 251.81 mph, which was his best performance on raceday. To reach the final round, Bond defeated Nick Januik, Stan Shelton and Gainesville winner Derek Menholt.

It gives Bond his first victory of the year and seventh in his year, finishing off a strong weekend that started with the veteran qualifying second.

“It’s just been a major marathon to be here,” Bond said. “I don’t deserve it, but I’m sure happy we did it. This one is for my guys. I’ve got so many people to thank and this is a big one for us. I just had a really awesome car, and it’s the guys. We weren’t always the low of the round this particular event, but we were just racing smart and racing our opponent, racing the racetrack.

“In the final, we tuned it up pretty good, and didn’t actually need it. My staging plan worked. I never go in first, and this time I went in first, tried to rush him and he was rushed.”

Jackson, a two-time NHRA world champion, reached the final round for the 23rd time in his career after round wins against reigning world champ J.R. Gray, defending event winner Mike Stavrinos and No. 1 qualifier Lyle Barnett.

Menholt remains in the points lead after two races.

Why Electric Dirt Bike Shopping Feels Different Now

By
SM
-

At some point during the search, the decision just stops moving forward. You narrow it down to a few electric dirt bikes, go back and forth between them, and realize none of them clearly stands out. Nothing feels wrong, but nothing feels like an obvious choice either. The process that once felt quick now stretches out, with more time spent revisiting the same options and second guessing small differences.

That hesitation is something more buyers are starting to recognize. It is not a lack of options, and it is not confusion in the usual sense. It comes from the fact that choosing an electric dirt bike no longer follows a simple path. The steps are familiar, but the way those steps lead to a decision has changed, and that shift becomes more noticeable the longer the search goes on.

It’s No Longer a Simple Spec Decision

There was a time when decisions came together quickly. A few key numbers were enough to guide the process, and differences were easier to spot. Higher output, longer range, or a more aggressive setup often made one model stand out without much effort.

That clarity has faded. Many bikes now reach a similar level of performance, which means numbers alone do not separate them in a meaningful way. Once a certain baseline is met, the advantage of slightly higher specs becomes harder to feel in practice.

Because of this, buyers tend to pause more often. Instead of moving from one option to the next, they stay within a small group of choices, comparing details that are less obvious at first glance. It is common to reopen the same listings multiple times, looking for something that creates a clearer distinction.

Similar Numbers Don’t Mean the Same Ride

The moment buyers slow down, another layer of difference starts to appear. Bikes that seem nearly identical on paper begin to show their character in more subtle ways.

Power delivery is one example. Some bikes feel smooth and controlled, while others respond more abruptly. Even with similar output, that difference changes how the electric dirt bike behaves on a trail. Weight balance and suspension tuning create similar contrasts, affecting how stable or confident a ride feels.

These qualities are not immediately visible in a product listing. They become relevant only when buyers start imagining real use instead of comparing figures. Riders begin to picture tight turns, uneven terrain, or repeated short sessions, and suddenly those subtle differences feel more important than raw numbers.

Buyers Are Thinking More About Fit

Once the focus moves beyond specs, the decision becomes more personal. Buyers start to picture how a bike fits into their own routines rather than how it ranks against others.

This becomes especially clear when looking through electric dirt bikes for sale. Instead of searching for the highest numbers, many begin asking different questions. Will this feel manageable on a narrow trail. Will it stay comfortable over repeated rides. Will it suit the way I actually spend time riding.

These questions do not have simple answers, which is why the process feels slower. At the same time, they help filter out options that may look strong on paper but do not align with real use. Over time, this way of thinking creates a more stable decision, even if it takes longer to reach.

Clearer Positioning Matters More Now

As buyers take a more experience focused approach, clarity becomes increasingly valuable. In a crowded market, the bikes that are easiest to understand tend to stand out first.

When a model clearly communicates what kind of riding it is built for, it reduces the effort required to evaluate it. Buyers can quickly decide whether it matches their expectations or not, instead of trying to interpret small differences across multiple options.

Brands like Qronge are often part of this conversation. Their focus on balance, control, and everyday usability makes it easier for buyers to understand what the riding experience might feel like. That clarity does not simplify the decision entirely, but it helps reduce uncertainty at a stage where many options otherwise feel interchangeable.

It’s Not Harder to Choose, Just Different

What feels like difficulty at first is often just a change in how decisions are made. The process no longer depends on quick comparisons or standout numbers. It asks for more reflection, and in return, it offers a better sense of fit.

Buyers are not just looking for the strongest option anymore. They are looking for something that feels right over time, something that matches how they actually ride rather than how a spec sheet reads. That shift explains why decisions take longer, but also why they tend to feel more considered in the end.

That is why electric dirt bike shopping feels different now. The bikes have improved, but more importantly, the way people choose them has become more grounded and more deliberate. What once felt like a quick decision has turned into a more thoughtful process, shaped by real expectations instead of simple comparisons.
