The first show of a new month brought out a solid crowd to catch the Double Toonie/Fan Appreciation Night action on Saturday, June 7th at Peterborough Speedway.

First to take the green flag was a 20-lapper for the Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Trucks, with Scott Jacobs and Howie Crowe on the front row. Jacobs took the early race lead, with teammates Mark Gordon and Crowe looking to run down the leader. Gordon took the lead and Stacy Switzer moved the No. 37 pick-up truck into fourth spot at around the same time as the frontrunners were starting to work through slower traffic. The runner-up in last year’s championship fight had a half track’s advantage over the closing stages and took the win in the caution-free feature. Crowe, Jacobs, Switzer and Shawn Murray completed the top-five.

Hudson Sellers and Jacob Vandebelt led the way as the Junior Late Model division rolled to the line for a 15-lap feature event. Sellers was joined at the front of the pack by Brody Coates as the field started to march through some backmarkers. A yellow flag, with four laps completed, slowed the pace and, at the halfway point, Hudson and Landon Sellers were fighting for the top spot. Another yellow flag brought the pack back together, with the duo of Hudson and Landon Sellers first to the checkered flag. Oliver Gibbons, Coates and Lucas Finnegan rounded out the top-five.

Will Gibbons and Kent Missons were the original front starters in the 20-lap SwitchTire Mini Stock feature, but a jumped start moved the duo back a row for the restart. John Lavalle and Ember Junkin were now in control of the field, with Gibbons, Mike Nelson, Mark Downer and Rob Crick heading toward the front of the pack. Gibbons took second from Junkin with eight laps complete and the leaders started to work through slower traffic with around 13 laps on the board.

Downer saw his night come to an end when the No. 26 machine erupted into a fireball with less than four laps remaining. Safety staff helped the driver from the car; he was checked and released at the track. Lavalle continued to lead after the red flag and held off a late-race charge from Nelson to take his first career feature win. Gibbons, Crick and Junkin were next across the line.

Johnnie McIntyre and reigning track champion Angelo Novis brought the Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock pack from the staging area for a 20-lap feature tilt. With only three laps on the scoreboard, the No. 04 ride of Samuel Arnott – who had been using the track’s outside line – brought out the red flag when his car burst into flames. Safety crews help remove Arnott from the car, but despite being unhurt, his night was over. The leaders had started working through slower traffic past the halfway mark and survived a late-race caution flag with about a handful of laps remaining. Tegan Stanley, who had been running second, took the lead with just a lap remaining and went on to win. Alex Dallaire, Victoria McLenon, Christen Lavalle and Novis chased Stanley across the stripe.

Following an early race restart, Chad Strawn and Paul Boundy were on the front row as the Jiffy Lube Super Stocks took the Great Canadian RV green flag. Strawn was the race leader, with Dylan Wills and Boundy completing the top-three spots. Clayton Reed grabbed the runner-up spot with eight laps on the scoreboard, while Strawn was putting his No. 35 machine through its paces. Reed held onto second-place, chasing Strawn across the line for the feature win. Mark Gordon, Boundy and Kyle Gordon finished out the top-five, as another Supernova Fireworks display signified the end of another night of home track racing at Canada’s Toughest 1/3 Mile.

Heat race action earlier in the night included victories by Mark Gordon, who had a pair of Renegade Truck checkered flags, with the others going to reigning track champion Howie Crowe and Stacy Switzer. Junior Late Model preliminary rounds went to Oliver Gibbons with a pair, along with Jacob Vandebelt, Kaiden Beatty, Hudson and Landon Sellers. Last week’s feature event winner Mike Nelson scored two Mini Stock qualifying round wins, with a pair of No. 10 rides – Kent Missons and Will Gibbons – taking the others. Alex Dallaire had a couple of Bone Stock heat race wins, with the others going to Tegan Stanley, Victoria McLenon, John Bates and Angelo Novis. Clayton Reed and Chad Strawn split the Super Stock opening round wins.

All finishing positions are unofficial until verified by scoring review and post-race inspection.

Bullring Bullet Points

  • Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Trucks were on the docket for the first time in 2025, with Kyle Fetterly and Alex McGibbon making their debut in the division.
  • The Junior Late Models were also in attendance for their season debut and brought 20 teams to the track.
  • A trio of Mini Coopers came to play in the Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock divisions, with reigning track champion Angelo Novis, Shannon Cappuccitti and Junior Late Model graduate Chase Stevenson repping the brand.
  • It was a great night of close racing all around. On several occasions, transponders and online race monitoring systems were used to determine finishing positions.

Peterborough Speedway staff and officials appreciate the patience and understanding of fans during an extended red flag stoppage while personnel dealt with an emergency medical situation in the grandstand near the end of the Junior Late Model feature.

Peterborough Speedway’s season continues on Saturday, June 14th as KOD Disposal presents the APC Late Model 100 and Dayco Super Stock 50-lap main events, along with the 50-lap Bone Stock Shootout, paying $250 to win and $100 to take the green. Grandstand gates open at 3:00 p.m., with racing at 5:00.

Data from last week’s Chicago Street Race will help the NASCAR Cup Series field this weekend at Sonoma Raceway, as they will race on the same Goodyear Racing Eagle tires. Sonoma is the fourth road course race of the season with all three previous races utilizing the same tire setup.

This is the only time this season that NASCAR will visit road courses on back-to-back weekends. 

“Last week’s Chicago race on the same Goodyear Racing Eagle tires should help the Cup Series teams in their Sonoma preparations,” said Stu Grant, Goodyear general manager of global race tires. “With consecutive road course races – and the Mexico City race just a few weeks before – teams should have a solid dataset to help dial in their setups.” 
 
The Xfinity Series will move to a different Eagle tire after running the first three road courses on the same tire. Teams will use a different tire code starting at Sonoma due to a minor tread compound update.  
 
Both series will have wet weather tires available in the case of inclement weather. In addition to the difference in tread pattern, these tires feature white “Goodyear Eagle” lettering on the sidewalls instead of the traditional yellow.

MTS US, an Italian-based motorsport training school that opened in Indianapolis in May, celebrated its first graduating class June 29.

Ten students from Indiana, North Carolina, New York and Wisconsin received diplomas during a ceremony at the MTS Training Center, 4007 Guion Lane, including 21-year-old Ryley Lynch, a Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate.

According to a MTS announcement, Lynch soon will start a new job with Graham Rahal Performance, where he’ll work on high-performance vehicles like Porsche and Lamborghini.

“I’ve always loved motorsports, but it seemed like a hard industry to break into,” Lynch stated. “MTS gave me the only real opportunity I’ve seen to do it. The people I got to learn from —some of them I never imagined I’d even meet in my lifetime, let alone work with side by side.”

MTS US offers hands-on training for aspiring race mechanics and data engineers. Founded by professional driver and racing team manager Eugenia Capanna, MTS prepares students for careers with teams in F1, MotoGP, IndyCar and other top racing series.

“Since opening our doors in Indianapolis, we’ve dreamed of this moment — seeing our very first group of students cross the finish line,” Capanna stated. “Their hard work, resilience and commitment have set the standard for every class that will follow. They are not just graduates — they are the foundation of our legacy in the Racing Capital of the World.”

Applications are open for the next cohort, which begins Aug. 22. MTS expects to enroll 15 to 30 students in the mechanical program and five to 10 in its data engineering track.

It certainly made for a unique spectacle.

NASCAR Next Gen cars motoring down DuSable Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue in the heart of downtown Chicago. Skyscrapers looming over the track, with painted turn lanes still on the roads and sidewalks just beyond the barriers.

The third Chicago Street Race took place last weekend. It could be the last, though NASCAR and the Windy City could agree to extend the initial three-year contract, which ended with the 2025 event, for another year or two.

Or, it could head elsewhere.

The Athletic reported last month that NASCAR and San Diego had discussed the west coast city hosting a street race. Would you like to see that?

How about one in New York City with the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty visible or Seattle with the Space Needle in the background?

Philadelphia? Denver?

International spots like Toronto, Montreal, São Paulo or London?

Heck, maybe you’d want to see NASCAR really emphasize its roots with a street race in Daytona Beach.

Let’s vote. The poll will remain open until 9 a.m. July 13. The ballot allows for multiple selections.

Iconic Rental Car Brand to Serve as Sponsor for Nemechek at Dover

Hertz, an iconic rental car brand that last served as a primary sponsor in the NASCAR Cup Series five years ago, will make its return to the series as it has partnered with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and John Hunter Nemechek, the driver of the team’s No. 42 Toyota Camry XSE. According to a press release […]

Hertz, an iconic rental car brand that last served as a primary sponsor in the NASCAR Cup Series five years ago, will make its return to the series as it has partnered with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and John Hunter Nemechek, the driver of the team’s No. 42 Toyota Camry XSE.

According to a press release from LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, Hertz will serve as the primary sponsorship partner for Nemechek and the No. 42 team in the July 20 NASCAR Cup Series event at Dover Motor Speedway.

The partnership between LMC and Hertz links motorsport investments for Knighthead Capital Management LLC, which co-owns the Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA organization in the FIA World Endurance Championship and joined LEGACY MOTOR CLUB as a co-owner heading into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

The 28-year-old Nemechek, who has enjoyed the best season of his young NASCAR Cup Series career in 2025, is ecstatic about his new partnership with Hertz.

“We’re excited to see Hertz and Hertz Car Sales on the No. 42 this summer at Dover,” said John Hunter Nemechek, driver of the LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Toyota. “It’s awesome to represent such a recognizable global brand, and even more special knowing it ties into the broader Knighthead motorsport vision that spans NASCAR and endurance racing.” 

In its last stint as a primary sponsor in the NASCAR Cup Series, Hertz’s iconic colors adorned the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet driven by William Byron in nine events over a three-season stint (2018 to 2020). Hertz is happy to expand its motorsport footprint back into the NASCAR Cup Series in a partnership that aligns with its other motorsports ventures.

“Hertz has a proud legacy in motorsports, and we’re excited to expand our presence by partnering with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and John Hunter Nemechek for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover,” said Gil West, Hertz Chief Executive Officer. “This collaboration not only highlights our iconic brand on one of racing’s biggest stages, but also showcases Hertz Car Sales as a trusted source of high-quality used vehicles. It’s an exciting opportunity to connect with fans and customers through the thrill of racing.”

Nemechek, who has collected a career-high six top-10 finishes through the opening 19 races of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, heads into this weekend’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway ranked 20th in the NASCAR Cup Series championship standings.

The driver and his No. 42 team have been among the most improved in the NASCAR Cup Series garage this season as Nemechek ranks seven positions higher in the championship standings after 19 races this year than he did at this exact point in the season in 2024.

Nemechek also recorded his career-best finish, to date, in February as he finished fifth in the season-opening Daytona 500. Nemechek has also secured top-10 finishes at Atlanta, Texas, Kansas, Mexico City, and Pocono. He’ll look to add another in a couple of weeks at Dover as he hopes to kick off his new partnership with Hertz in style.
