• Angelo Dinkov and Matthew Hagen Fastest Cayman in Ultra-Competitive Run Group G Field in the 2020 No. 00 TPC Racing Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport
• Shaun McKaigue and Louis-Philippe “LP” Dumoulin Qualify Sixth in Run Group G Porsche GT3 Cup Class in the 2012 No. 34 TPC Racing Porsche 997 GT3 Cup

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (November 8, 2025) – This weekend’s Historic SportsCar Racing (HSR) Classic Daytona 24 Hour presented by Mission Foods brings TPC Racing back to the site of one of its most memorable achievements – Daytona International Speedway – where team founder Michael Levitas, Spencer Pumpelly, Randy Pobst and Ian Baas drove a 2006 No. 36 Porsche 911 GT3 to the GT class win in the 2006 Rolex 24 At Daytona.

While TPC Racing still fields that very Porsche in HSR competition, the main focus this weekend is on the team’s 2020 No. 00 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport and supporting the 2012 No. 34 Porsche 997.2 GT3 Cup of longtime TPC Racing driver Shaun McKaigue.

Both Porsche’s compete in the 11th running of the HSR Classic Daytona 24 Hour, which started today at 2 p.m. EST and runs straight through the next 24 hours until the final checkered flag just before 2 p.m. EST on Sunday, November 9. The racing is continuous and puts each of the competing seven Run Groups on track for 24 consecutive hour-long sessions.

TPC Racing’s entries will do battle in the ultra-competitive Run Group G category that is 30-plus car field of generally GT Modern (GTM) machinery from the last 15 years that has been retired from contemporary competition.

Both the Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport of co-drivers Matt Hagen and Angelo Dinkov and McKaigue’s GT3 Cup car, which he co-drives with coach and co-driver Louis-Philippe “LP” Dumoulin, have been on pace all weekend. They backed up the fast form with solid Group G qualifying efforts in Friday’s fast-paced nighttime time trials.

The No. 00 clocked in a solid fifth overall as the fastest of the eight Cayman in the race. The No. 34 in turn held its own in the 11-strong Porsche GT3 Cup field with the sixth fastest time for a 911-based Porsche, which was also good enough for 12th overall on the starting grid.

Run Group G is scheduled to be on track for its first of four 42-minute segment race today 7:00 p.m. EST. The second round takes place early Sunday morning at 1 a.m. EDT with the final two races later on Sunday at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. EST. The Sunday afternoon race is the 24th and final round of the overall HSR Classic Daytona 24 Hour race weekend.

Meanwhile, TPC Racing and Mike and Harris Levitas are targeting the 2nd Annual IMSA Classic at the 64th Rolex 24 At Daytona, January 21 – 24, as the next race for their largely unchanged 2006 Rolex 24 GT winner. The HSR IMSA Classic is a Rolex 24 At Daytona tribute race showcasing the legendary sports cars that have contested America’s premier 24-hour race since the 1960s.

TPC Racing’s Rolex 24 winner is a perfect fit for next year’s HSR IMSA Classic featured era that showcases authentic and period-correct sports cars between the years of 1990 and 2010 with a verifiable Rolex 24 At Daytona history.

Harris Levitas, TPC Racing Director of Race Operations: “The HSR Daytona Classic 24 is a very enjoyable end-of-year event. I think it’s our fourth year of participation, and it’s great. The team is all here, and we’re having some fun. But at the same time, we’re here to get a good result and show what we can do. The format of the Classic is unique, with all the aspects of running in the daytime and at night. That creates a lot of work for us, getting the setup changed from a car suited for the night back to the more optimal conditions of the daytime. The main goal is for the drivers to have fun and to get the best result that they can. Matthew Hagen is one of our newer customers who recently earned his competition license, so it’s a very exciting event for him, especially being at Daytona, which is special anytime. He’s having a really good time. It’s a true learning experience for Matthew and the first race of this kind for him and Angelo Dinkov. If they can just keep it consistent and clean, they should be able to have a strong finish. We’ve also got Shaun McKaigue here with his 997 Porsche Cup GT3 Cup car and his friend, coach and our teammate Louis-Philippe Dumoulin. Shaun has run well with us for some podiums. He’s been doing this race for a long time, and we’ve always had a lot of fun together. It’s a good way for him to wrap up his season.”

Angelo Dinkov, Driver – TPC Racing No. 00 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport: “I am thrilled to be joining TPC Racing for the second HSR race weekend this year, following our successful debut in their GT4 RS Clubsport at the Classi Watkins Glen Six Hour in June. We did have great pace there as we dialed in the setup. The car was fast right off the truck, and we have improved our performance this week. The weather looks quite good, and the grid is packed with some talented drivers, so my goal is to simply keep it clean and try to make forward progress. I am joined this week by my esteemed codriver Matthew Hagen, and we will be working together closely on the fast banks of Daytona.”

Matthew Hagen, Driver – TPC Racing No. 00 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport: “It’s an honor to be racing with TPC Racing, a group that has won the Rolex 24 At Daytona, and my co-driver Angelo Dinkov. I’m really grateful to be with them and to get to race alongside cars that have won the motorsports endurance ‘Triple Crown’ of Le Mans, Daytona, and Sebring. It’s an impressive field. Vintage racing is unique because it affords fans and drivers alike the ability to experience a race car ‘Hall of Fame’ from across multiple time periods. These are fantastic vehicles, and you actually get to push them to their limits. It’s a very different experience when you are racing wheel-to-wheel, especially at these legendary tracks. Daytona has such a rich legacy in endurance racing, and any time you’re able to compete here, it’s a special experience. While I have no doubt that when Angelo is in the car it will be among the fastest in the class. Awin for me is being able to go out, race a clean race, and experience Daytona at full throttle.”

No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA is only Hypercar to score points in every race

SAKHIR, Bahrain (November 8, 2025) – Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA closed the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season with disappointment tempered by optimism for 2026 and overall congratulations for what was accomplished in the first year as a works team.

Sixth place in the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain by the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Alex Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens followed a string of strong performances. The trio delivered Cadillac’s maiden WEC victory in July, earned three poles and completed the season as the lone Hypercar to score points in all eight races. They placed fifth in the provisional drivers’ standings – one point out of fourth – to tie the program’s best.

Cadillac tied its best standing of fourth in the Manufacturers’ Championship in its third season of WEC Hypercar competition. The desert event marked the 50th race (23 WEC, 27 IMSA) for the Cadillac V-Series.R.

Jenson Button, in his final competitive race start, took the checkered flag in 16th position in the No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R to close a stellar motorsports career that included a Formula 1 world championship. The hybrid racecar powered by the purpose-built 5.5-liter DOHC V8 engine that he shared with Earl Bamber and Sebastien Bourdais, secured three front row starting spots and a runner-up finish to the sister car at Interlagos.

Improvisation on a punishing circuit, which has its original surface since opening in 2004, for teams and drivers was the order of the day. The race that totaled 236 laps on the 5.412 km (3.363-mile), 15-turn Bahrain International Circuit transitioned from late afternoon desert heat to cooler ambient and track temperatures under the lights.

The No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R, after qualifying in the top 10 for the seventh time in the eight races, ran as high as fourth with 83 minutes left with Stevens taking over for Norman Nato on Lap 198. Following a Safety Car period for a car off course and a subsequent full course yellow for debris, the final green flag flew with 27 minutes remaining and Stevens locked in a non-contact dance with the No. 93 Ferrari for position.

Stevens nudged ahead once in the tight Turn 1 but couldn’t hold the position and eventually finished eight-tenths of a second arrears the Ferrari and 40.527 seconds off the winning No. 7 Toyota.

The No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R’s progressed was blunted when Button incurred a 30-second penalty near the midpoint of the race for contact with a LMGT3 car. Bourdais and Bamber followed in the car, which was a lap down, before Button returned to drive the final 57 minutes.

Ferrari earned the manufacturers’ top prize for its first top-level title in world championship sports car racing since 1972, and the brand won the drivers’ title.

The 2026 season begins in late March at the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar for the third consecutive season.

What they’re saying

No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R

Alex Lynn: “I gave it my absolute all – as always. I didn’t leave anything on the table. With the BOP we have, we always knew it was going to be a challenge for us this weekend and, whilst I don’t think it’s going to go our way today, we gave everything we had out there, so we have to be proud of that. And, although today may not turn out to be our race, I think we need to take a step back and remember that we’ve had a very good year overall as a team. A good race at the end with P6. A bit unfortunate at the end with the VSC, but, honestly, we had a great season. Scored points in every race and narrowly missed P3 in the drivers championship, which for myself, Will and Norman would have been an amazing achievement. Just proud to be a part of this team and thank you Cadillac for everything.”

Norman Nato: “We tried our best and maximized everything and had a clean race. We were the only car to score points in all races this season. With a new car and a new team as well, we can be proud. We’re not far away of scoring top three in manufacturers and as drivers – a few missed points. A year ago, we were just starting this program and since then a lot of work has been dope. Honestly, it was not perfect. It’s had to have a perfect car in one year, but we can be really proud of what we’ve done. It means a lot that we’re the only car scoring points every weekend and to be in position to fight until the end, so thank you to everyone.”

Will Stevens: “Honestly, disappointing because we didn’t get third in the drivers championship and it was super close at the end. It was a fun couple of stints. We needed to pass cars. I tried my best to pass the 83 because obviously at that point if we got past anybody, we got third, so I tried my best. Overall, I think we should be proud. We’re the only car in this championship to finish in the points every race, which I think we should be proud of. We’ll keep working in the winter and come back stronger next year.”

No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R

Earl Bamber: “I think (the season) was really positive. We got some podiums, some amazing results and were fighting for second in the manufacturers championship. So, a lot of positives to bring forward to 2026.”

Sebastien Bourdais: “I think there is a lot of promise. The 12 car had quite an amazing season with a win and a lot of strong performances, and again today just behind Toyota and three Ferraris. They legitimately had a shot for P3 in the championship, which is more than I think we could have hoped for in our first year of collaboration between JOTA and Cadillac. Proud of the boys. On our end, we had pace a lot of times this year and unfortunately for one reason or another there was always something that got in the way and we just never got the results we hoped for. Proud of the organization in general and we’ll miss JB next year but I’m sure we’ll have a strong lineup and hopefully we can put it all together and come back stronger.”

Jenson Button (photo on right): “It was lovely to finish my career in the car crossing the line under the checkered flag. It definitely wasn’t a great race on our side of the garage, but I still enjoyed the moment. (about the incident) When I got in the car we were near the back, struggling for pace and trying to save tires for the end. I then had a few incidents that didn’t help, including contact with the 54 Ferrari GT. I went around the outside through Turn 3, a line I’ve used many times, and thought I was clear when I felt a hit from the rear that sent him spinning. It was unfortunate and I feel for him, but there really wasn’t anything I could do. It was genuinely a racing incident made tricky by another Hypercar on the inside.”

Hard-fought race to close FIA WEC season for TF Sport Corvettes

SAHKIR, Bahrain (November 8, 2025) – TF Sport’s No. 33 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Daniel Juncadella, Jonny Edgar and Ben Keating closed their season Saturday with a sixth-place LMGT3 finish in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s Eight Hours of Bahrain.

It was the first points-scoring finish since July for the No. 33 Corvette trio, which opened the season in February with a class victory at Qatar and entered Bahrain with hopes of fighting for top-three finish in the class championship.

Fortunes weren’t any better for the No. 81 Corvette of Charlie Eastwood, Jonny Edgar and Tom Van Rompuy. Winners in the previous WEC round at Fuji, they arrived this week with an outside chance at the LMGT3 title. However they finished 11th on Saturday and out of the points to place fifth in the class standings, one spot ahead of their teammates.

There were different tire and driver rotation strategies throughout the LMGT3 race. For the two Corvette, Keating and Van Rompuy started with each doing a triple-stint in the heat. Keating took tires on his first stop in an effort to gain track position and doubled those to the driver change just past the 2.5-hour mark while Van Rompuy double stinted his opening set and got fresh tires for his final run.

Edgar and Andrade had to suffer with tire-saving as well with the goal of being able to have three fresh sets of tires for both Corvettes at the end. Both double-stinted one set of tires and then took a split set shortly after the restart following the first of two Safety Car periods. The final driver swaps came inside the final two hours, 45 minutes with Eastwood climbing into the No. 81 Corvette first followed by Juncadella in the No. 33.

A late safety car period created some drama but ultimately the pace of the leading cars was too much for the Corvettes to overcome.

TF Sport and the Corvette Z06 GT3.R program will start the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship with the 1812KM of Qatar on March 28.

TF SPORT POST-EVENT QUOTES

DANIEL JUNCADELLA, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “That’s the season for us in WEC. Unfortunately it wasn’t what I expected from this season. It was looking good after Qatar with the first win but unfortunately the rest of the season we struggled to match the pace of the cars up front. Today we could only manage P6 after struggling in the last stint and sixth in the championship result. A disappointing result but a lot of positives to take into next season.”

JONNY EDGAR, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “The safety car was pretty unlucky with the timing of it. We were on pretty good tires at the time but had to put a set on during the Safety Car because otherwise on the restart we would have dropped to the back. We had a set on from qualifying because you have to use them at some point. But that stint was pretty OK. To make sure we have tires left to the end we had to put on a set from my stint back on, so they were more than a half-stint old compared to others. As everyone’s tires wore, my pace got closer and closer. Overall I’m pretty happy all things considered. It was a shame about the Safety Car timing. A stint later or earlier probably would have helped us more, but what happened probably helped a few competitors catch up.”

BEN KEATING, NO. 33 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “I feel good. It was a lot of fun out there. It was kind of hot in the beginning. Everybody has such different strategies in a long race. You have to double-stint tires at some point so everyone is doing a whole different combination of things. I’m really proud of the TF Sport guys because I think they called it really well. I had a lot of fun, but it’s mayhem. I think I had contact five or six times. Thank goodness the Corvette is such a strong car! It was beautiful because we all kept it straight and on the track. This was the kind of racing where it’s fun and you enjoy it.”

(On the strategy) “I was saving fuel a lot because it was also saving the tires. We were doing longer stints than most of the other cars and trying to save my tires for the third stint. I was pretty happy and did a decent lap at the very end of the double-stint. So the strategy was good.”

CHARLIE EASTWOOD, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “A tricky day for us. We obviously were carrying ballast from the previous success we’ve had in the last few rounds. We just missed a podium for the championship. It is what it is and we didn’t have the pace. Still, it was an amazing year with everyone from TF Sport and Corvette Racing. The jump that we made from last season to here is huge, and hopefully we can go and gain a couple more steps next year.”

RUI ANDRADE, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “A difficult finish with how we came into the weekend. Both cars had a bit more exceptions. We were fighting for the championship and the 33 was fighting for the top-three. Unfortunately we just didn’t have the pace all weekend. We tried a risky strategy to save tires early in the race and try to be competitive late. Even this didn’t pay off, even with a safety car. We got bunched up and the other cars were a bit too quick for us. But it was a good season with a lot of positives to take away. We can all be pretty happy. The drivers and team did a great job. From where we were last year to coming here to fight for the championship after race wins and podiums, it was a big step forward. Everyone should be proud.”

TOM VAN ROMPUY, NO. 81 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “Not the result we were hoping for. We just missed out on the third position in the championship with not scoring points today. It was a tough race for us with the pace we had and also struggling with the tires. We tried to maximize what we had. We took a gamble on the strategy but the race didn’t come to us. It’s been a nice two years with TF Sport, Corvette and Pratt Miller. I’d like to thank all the people involved for all their efforts. It was a nice adventure and I hope someday it will continue. I’m looking back on two great seasons and had big fun. So today wasn’t the result we were hoping for but that’s racing.”

• With championship titles on the line, David Gravel (World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series), Jonathan Davenport (World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Models) and Alex Payne (Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds) each secured feature victories in Friday night World of Outlaws World Finals action
• With one final day of dirt-slinging excitement remaining, tickets are still available at www.charlottemotorspeedway.com or can be purchased at the gate

CONCORD, N.C., (Nov. 7, 2025) – In Friday night’s dirt-slinging action, David Gravel (World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series), Jonathan Davenport (World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Models) and Alex Payne (Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds) emerged victorious with one night left of adrenaline-charged competition.

On top of an action-packed slate of racing competition, fans were also treated to one of dirt racing’s most iconic sights — the fan-favorite Friday night 3×4-Wide Salute. As the field fanned out across The Dirt Track at Charlotte, the thunderous display served as a fitting season finale, with the packed grandstands rising to their feet to take in the breathtaking show of horsepower and pride.

GRAVEL SEALS THE DEAL IN THE DIRT

Adding another chapter to an already dominant season, Gravel marked another tally in the win column after battling through intense competition in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car division.

Gravel, who came into the night locked in as the 2025 Sprint Car champion after a stellar season of 17 victories, but the battle was far from easy in Friday’s sprint to the finish line.

Brent Marks, who dominated the red clay all day, started on the pole, followed by Thursday night’s feature winner Rico Abreu, while Gravel started sixth. While it looked like Marks would run away with the race early, it wasn’t until a series of cautions that Abreu and Gravel went full throttle in their 900-horsepower machines to get around Marks, going wheel-to-wheel in a dash to the checkered flag.

As the laps dwindled, the competition heated up. The field shuffled and all eyes were up top as Gravel and Abreu traded positions, all the way to the white flag. Gravel was able to make a final charge with one lap to go, sliding around Abreu to seal the deal with only 0.629 seconds to spare.

Abreu, Sprint Car legend Donny Schatz, Chase Randall and Spencer Bayston completed the top five.

With one day left, Gravel looks to put the cherry on top of the season with one more trip to Victory Lane before claiming his second consecutive World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car title at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

SUPERMAN SOARS TO RECORD SEVENTH CHARLOTTE WIN

“Superman” Jonathan Davenport once again lived up to his nickname Friday night as he walked away from The Dirt Track at Charlotte $15,000 richer after capturing the World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Models Feature.

The Georgia native’s triumph marked his seventh triumph at Charlotte, tying Jimmy Owens for the most Outlaw victories at the famed four-tenths-mile clay oval.

“I would’ve never believed it from my first win here in a crate car to now out here at the World Finals. To have my name up there with all the greats like Scott (Bloomquist), Jimmy (Owens) and Chris (Madden), sure is special,” Davenport said in Victory Lane.

It didn’t take long for the action to heat up as Davenport launched from the pole, quickly pulling away from Drake Troutman. Excitement unfolded deeper in the pack as Tyler Erb Jr. sliced through the field, climbing from 11th to seventh by Lap 12.

Meanwhile, in the caution-free race, Davenport showed no mercy at the front. As the laps clicked away, he navigated lapped traffic with precision all the way to the checkered flag, followed by Troutman and Brandon Sheppard to round out the podium.

“Phenomenal race track,” Davenport said. “I felt like when I was going through traffic, I could go anywhere there. Had some better momentum around the middle than at the bottom, because it’s so flat there.”

Despite finishing 16th in Friday night’s feature, Bobby Pierce’s consistency throughout the season secured the 2025 World of Outlaws Late Models championship, clinching the title with one night of racing still to go.

PAYNE DOMINATES ON THE DIRT TRACK

In Friday’s Super DIRTcar Series action, Alex Payne brought home the third win of his career, his second in seven days and his first-ever triumph at the World of Outlaw World Finals – in a wild 30-lap feature.

The race was paused for a red flag on the opening lap after racer Tyler Siri made contact with the wall in Turn 3. Siri was responsive following the incident and was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.

When racing resumed, Payne dominated the field from the pole, pulling away from the pack by more than six seconds en route to a commanding victory.

“I’m speechless again. I could really get used to this,” Payne said. “Man, what an effort. What a car. What a crowd. Look at this place. Holy crap, this is awesome. You might not know me, but we’re working on that… We’ve been working so hard to come here and compete with these guys. I made some decisions that I didn’t know were right or wrong, but we’re here.”

After winning his heat race earlier in the evening, defending series champion Mat Williamson needed only to start the feature race to accumulate enough points to earn his third series title. His runner-up finish in Friday’s A-main was more than enough to mathematically secure his title. With the championship secure, the Ontario, Canada native can enjoy Saturday’s victory lap.

“We haven’t won as much as we did last year, but we had a lot of seconds, thirds and fourths,” Williamson said. “That’s what it takes to win a championship. It’s fun to be able to come down here and just race and not think about points.”

Tim Fuller, Erick Rudolph and Felix Roy rounded out the Top 5 in Friday’s action.

LAS VEGAS, NV (November 7, 2025) – Jeff Montgomery of Cobble Hill, British Columbia, Canada led wire-to-wire in Friday’s Firstline Systems Pole Shuffle for Winged Sprints, earning the pole position for Saturday’s $50,000 to win BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown in Las Vegas. Montgomery topped an all-star cast of Elliott’s Trailers & Carts Winged Sprint Cars in the 12-car, 10-lap event to cap BR Motorsports qualifying night.

“It means a lot. It shows what kind of race team we have. At the end of the day, starting on the pole doesn’t win it. You have to lead one lap – the last lap – that’s the one that pays the money. If I can run the 10 laps I just ran at the end of this race tomorrow night, we should have no problem winning it. We have the best winged pavement sprint car drivers in the world here so I have my hands full,” Montgomery said.

Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. led Winged Sprint Cars qualifying presented by Hamada, timing in at 11.774 seconds at 114.659 miles per hour.

Trainor, JoJo Helberg, Bobby Santos, 2023 winner Aaron Willison, 2024 winner Kody Swanson, and Montgomery won the 12-lap Beast Chassis heat races. Idaho’s Mike Anderson then won the Wildwood Brakes C-Main.

The 12 drivers who transferred out of the heat races drew for the starting lineup for the shuffle, with Montgomery drawing the pole alongside Trainor. Montgomery and Trainor will be the front row for Saturday’s 100-lap, $50,000-to-win contest. Santos finished the shuffle in third, setting the stage for a powerful second row alongside Swanson.

2024 Klotz Synthetics Modifieds winner Aaron McMorran led qualifying action before heat races went to Kyle Tellstrom, 2025 Bullring Modified champion Kyle Jacks, and Kris Price.

Windshield Defense INEX Legends qualifying was led by New York’s Ben Morabito. INEX Bandoleros and the Inaugural Larry Trigueiro Memorial for Super Modifieds wrapped up practice action Friday as well. Both divisions will time trial before racing begins on Saturday.

Admission gates open at 11am Saturday followed by final practices. Opening Ceremonies are at 2:15pm followed by four B-Features and five Championship Features for the 2025 BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown.

Tickets are available via the Las Vegas Motor Speedway website or at the gates. Pit Passes will be sold at the gate and include grandstand access.

Live coverage of the entire event is on Speed Sport 2.

About the Open Wheel Showdown:

The Open Wheel Showdown is the premier pavement open wheel event in the country, attracting top drivers and teams from across the country to compete for record-breaking purses and national attention.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.: Rette Jones Racing confirmed today that it will field an entry for veteran Super Late Model standout Casey Roderick in this weekend’s 40th annual All American 400 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in Tennessee.

The crown-jewel event, sanctioned by the ASA STARS National Tour, will close out the 2025 season and feature the top Super Late Model competitors from across North America.

Roderick, the 2024 ASA STARS National Tour champion, has long established himself among the elite in Super Late Model competition.

His decorated résumé includes three Southern Super Series championships and a Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Track Championship.

The 33-year-old Georgia native is also no stranger to success in the prestigious 400-lap event, having previously won the All American 400 in Music City.

A former NASCAR competitor, Roderick will pilot the No. 30 Port City Racecars Ford, serving as a teammate to Rette Jones Racing developmental driver Kyle Steckly.

“It’s exciting to join Rette Jones Racing for such a marquee event,” said Roderick. “Mark [Rette] and Terry (Jones) have built a first-class program that’s proven capable of running up front anywhere, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to drive their No. 30 Ford this weekend in Nashville.

“The All American 400 is one of those races every Late Model driver circles on their calendar, and to have another shot at victory with a team like this means a lot.”

Rette Jones Racing co-owner Mark Rette said the team’s relationship with Roderick made this collaboration a natural fit for one of the sport’s most prestigious events.

“Casey is a champion and a proven winner at every level,” Rette said. “His experience, especially at Nashville, brings a ton of value to our program and we’re proud to have him represent RJR alongside Kyle this weekend.”

Roderick echoed that excitement about working with his young teammate. “Kyle’s an impressive young driver who’s been making a name for himself in both Canada and the United States,” he added.

“We’ve already talked about bouncing ideas off each other throughout the weekend. Hopefully, we can both unload strong, push each other and give Rette Jones Racing a pair of cars capable of contending for the win on Sunday.”

The All-American 400 presented by Appalachian Sucker Punch will mark race 12 on the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour calendar, drawing an elite field of national champions, short track standouts and rising stars.

— Race of Champions Management Negotiating New 2026 Plans; Adjusts Holland Speedway Date —

Elma, N.Y. – (November 7, 2025) – Race fans and competitors can continue to fill their calendars with key dates for the 2026 racing season, as Race of Champions management releases additional “save-the-date” announcements for upcoming “Family of Series” events.

Race of Champions management is actively finalizing several traditional events while negotiating the addition of new ones for the 2026 season.

The 2026 dates for Holland (N.Y.) Speedway were originally announced in late August at the track’s season-closing event. Holland will host Race of Champions events on Saturday, June 6, and Saturday, August 29.

The Race of Champions Modified Series event, initially slated for Saturday, July 25, will now move to Saturday, July 18 to avoid scheduling conflicts with other touring Modified series. The adjustment ensures competitors have the opportunity to race on the “high banks” without overlap.

In addition, Race of Champions and Holland Speedway management are introducing a fourth event, scheduled for Saturday, August 8, which will feature the Race of Champions Sportsman Modified Series. Full event details will be announced soon.

The Race of Champions Sportsman Modified Series will also compete at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 11.

The Race of Champions Family of Series will then return to Lake Erie Speedway for the traditional Race of Champions weekend on Thursday, September 10; Friday, September 11; and Saturday, September 12, with Sunday, September 13 reserved as the inclement weather date. Complete event details and full weekend schedules will be released at a later date.

The Race of Champions “Family of Series” includes the Modifieds; Sportsman Modifieds; Late Models; Super Stocks; Street Stocks; 602 Sportsman Modifieds and the FOAR SCORE Dash Four Cylinder Series as always.

“We are always working diligently on our schedule,” stated Joe Skotnicki, Race of Champions. “The schedule is a jigsaw puzzle that’s constantly in motion as circumstances change. We do our best to accommodate everyone and understand that some dates may shift from time to time. This past season was exciting, and we’re focused on continuously improving our product and giving racers and fans the opportunity to compete at premier events throughout the region.”

All Race of Champions “Family of Series” events will continue to be streamed live on RoCModifiedSeries.TV powered by Racing America in 2026.
