2026 SPEEDWEEK WRAP UP

The 2026 600 Speedweek was one for the record books, with a number of different accomplishments and new records achieved during a fantastic week!

The 2026 Edition was again set for seven nights of action along the east coast, starting in New Jersey at the Bridgeport Speedway, before moving to the Airport Speedway in Delaware! From there, it was five straight nights in Pennsylvania at the Greenwood Valley Action Tracks, Action Track USA, The Speedway at Pagoda MC, McGrewBid Motoplex, and the Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway!

For the first time in its history, since expanding to seven nights, all of 600 Speedweek were completed fully! Things kicked off in a big way on Sunday at Bridgeport, where a track record 103 600’s entered the pit area for action! At the conclusion of the evening, it was Kyle Spence who capitalized on late race woes of Alex Ruppert to score the win! In the Junior Sprint class, it was all Ohio’s Lucas Coulter taking home top honors of the night!

Monday at the Airport Speedway saw another 600 car count reach triple digits, as a track record 109 600’s packed the New Castle, Delaware pit area. In the main events it was James Roselli taking his first ever 600 Speedweek victory, and Cole Surman also collecting his first Junior Sprint Speedweek win!

Tuesday action moved north to GVAT, and another stellar field of 600’s were pit side, with a last lap, last corner pass deciding the feature event as Christitian Bruno picked Billy Koch’s pocket for the win. Meanwhile, Ashlyn Wittmer joined brother Jax as a Speedweek winner, taking the checkers in the Junior Sprints.

Wednesday was the first show in three years at Action Track USA to not be lost to weather, and put on a barnburner of a show with Connor Gross holding off a late race charge from both Christian Bruno and James Roselli for the triumph. While yet another first time winner found Junior Sprint victory lane as Andrew Ferriola nabbed his first win.

Thursday was the speedweek debut at the Speedway at Pagoda MC, where Connecticut’s Zach Jurcik dominated the feature front the pole and took not only his first 600 Speedweek win, but first 600 victory over all! The Junior Sprint class saw an impressive performance from Giselle Hicks, who took her first ever win with the series as well!

Friday action moved to the McGrewBid Motoplex where the action was hotter than the weather! A start to finish thriller of a 600 Feature, with Dylan Kontra coming away with his second career speedweek win. Additionally, Andrew Ferriola broke the cycle and became the first repeat junior sprint winner of the week!

Weather threw a curve ball into the mix on Saturday, and postponed the week long finale to the Sunday, where a fantastic field of 600’s and Junior Sprints battled one last time at the Clyde! At the end of 50 thrilling laps, 12th starting Kyle Spence took home the $10,000 Finale, while it was Barrett Bressler holding off Wyatt Parsley to grab his first career win!

Dominic Schmidt held off Trevor Cline to take the Speedweek championship by 13 points, with Ashlyn Wittmer joining her brother Jax as a Junior Sprint Champion! Astonishingly, for the first time ever in the 600 class, no driver qualified for every feature event!
