Brandon Barker secured a victory at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday, marking his first win at the track since 2022. This performance helped Landshark Performance achieve back-to-back wins for the team in the Oxford Championship Series.
Barker took the lead during the opening laps of the Mid-Coast Excavation 50-lap feature, pulling ahead of Ryan Littlefield and Scott McDaniel to claim the win. The victory extended the Landshark Performance streak at Oxford Plains Speedway.
The race saw close competition, with Ryan Littlefield leading the initial seven laps before Barker moved into first place. Littlefield noted that Barker put significant pressure on him, resulting in a change in position as the race progressed.
Scott McDaniel finished in third place, chasing for a spot behind Barker and Littlefield. McDaniel reflected that securing third place was a good run for the team, despite not achieving a higher finish.
Wiscasset Speedway hosted dual Opening Days this past Saturday, featuring the Portland Glass Strictly Streets, Dale’s Cash Fuel Roadrunners, Creative Cleanouts Modifieds, and the Wood Pellet Warehouse Late Models for their 2026 season opener.
The Strictly Streets took to the track first for their qualifying heat races, with Ray Dinsmore and Scott Eck leading the charge. Eck edged out Dinsmore for the early lead in the 35-lap feature while Tyler Jordan and Chris Burgess filed in behind him. A mid-race caution on lap 15 brought the field back together and Scott Eck maintained command on the restart.
Melee ensued in the closing laps of the race as Dan Morton and Tyler Dinsmore made hard contact on lap 17, resulting in a red flag. After a solid performance all day, Tyler Jordan lost a tire on the restart, leading to a pile-up with just 6 laps to go that collected Chris Burgess, Landon Tapley, Dale Lawrence, Mike Delano and others.
Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour heat winners Kaiden Fisher and Gabe Brown earned the front row of the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 150 by each earning a +5 in qualifying action. After suffering with ignition issues all of Friday practice, Fisher made his presence known by leading the early circuits before Jimmy Renfrew Jr. got around him on the lap 7 restart. Renfrew kept pace ahead of the pack while the 32-car field spread out, easing the pressure on their Hoosier Racing Tires against the rough, aged surface of Lee USA Speedway.
A rough outing for rookie Holdyn Sullivan took a turn for the worse, spinning off of turn two and hard into the outside wall. Back under green, former Quebec champion Jonathan Bouvrette made a strong run to the front along with Gabe Brown as Brown took over the lead. With 50 laps remaining, Bouvrette continued to gain on lap times but lap traffic worked in Brown’s favor.
After a long and cold 6 months of hibernation, Wiscasset Speedway finally opened their doors again on Saturday afternoon for the track’s 2026 season opener featuring the T&L Automotive Pro Stocks, County Truss 4-Cylinder Pros, Davis Erector Group 207 Crate Modifieds, Thunder 4 Minis and the Darling’s Brunswick Ford Super Streets.
2025 Late Model champion Daniel Harding topped the leaderboard in practice for the Pro Stocks and pulled the #1 chip for the qualifying draw, starting on the pole in the heat race. Harding pulled away with the win while Wiscasset Speedway veteran Matt Beers took home the heat win in the second qualifier.
Matt Beers got a big jump over Daniel Harding in the spotlight 50-lap feature, pulling ahead with the early lead. Meanwhile, Nick Calvert got bent out of shape on lap 2 and went around, resulting in a caution. Daniel Harding got the upper hand on the restart, distancing himself from the competition. After a multi-lap side-by-side battle, Jamie Wright overtook third from Matt Beers on lap 13. Just as Wright was knocking on Josh St. Clair’s door for second, Kelly Moore joined the fray in the closing laps of the race, making a last-lap pass to close out the podium behind race winner Daniel Harding and multi-time track champion Josh St. Clair.
Southern New England young-gun Connor Souza sealed the deal at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday, earning his first Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour win at the Magic Mile.
After rain was forecasted for Sunday’s originally scheduled date, Mother Nature brought down plenty of sunshine on the hallowed grounds of New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday afternoon. The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour got a strong start to the 2026 season under the April rays with Brandon Barker and Connor Souza both building a +6 handicap in heat race qualifying to join the front row.
After Barker showed the way early it was young-gun Connor Souza who took over and launched away with the lead. As Souza began to pull away, the best race on track saw Jonathan Bouvrette trying to dig underneath Justin Prescott for seventh-place lap after lap. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Brandon Barker’s hot rod went cold underneath the crossed flags signaling the halfway point, bringing his battered machine behind the wall during the competition caution just one lap later.
