By S.M.A.S.H — May 28, 2026 The wait is almost over. S.M.A.S.H is one day away from kicking off a full Martinsville weekend, and all four series are preparing for one of the tightest, toughest, and most mentally demanding stops of Season One. This is not a horsepower weekend. This is not a place where drivers can stretch the field out and breathe. This is Martinsville. Flat corners. Heavy braking. Short tempers. Long nights. The weekend begins Friday with the S.M.A.S.H Challe

By S.M.A.S.H — May 27, 2026 S.M.A.S.H still has business left to handle in Season One, but the league is already giving drivers something different to look forward to once the championship pressure comes off. After weeks of points racing, race control decisions, standings battles, and serious competition, the offseason is going to open with something built for a completely different purpose. Fun. Chaos. Bad paint. And a reminder that league racing does not always have to be a

By S.M.A.S.H — May 26, 2026 The paperclip is next. This week, all four S.M.A.S.H series head to Martinsville Speedway, and there may not be a track on the schedule that tests patience, discipline, and respect quite like this one. Martinsville is not about wide-open speed. It is not about hiding behind horsepower. It is not about getting comfortable and riding around until the race comes to you. Martinsville forces drivers to earn every corner, every pass, every restart, and e

By S.M.A.S.H — May 24, 2026 Some drivers find sim racing and never really leave it. Others step away, live life, handle responsibilities, and eventually find their way back because the love for racing never went away. Daryl Griffin fits that second group. The driver of the #4 is not only a competitor inside S.M.A.S.H, but also the league owner and one of the people responsible for building the foundation behind it. His story goes back far beyond modern iRacing, back to the ea

By S.M.A.S.H — May 23, 2026 Memorial Day weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway closed with the S.M.A.S.H Cup Series taking center stage, and once again, Dillon Canova made sure the story ran through the #70 Chevrolet. After the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series opened Saturday night, the Cup Series rolled onto Charlotte for 100 laps to finish off one of the biggest weekends on the S.M.A.S.H calendar. The field had speed. The race had pressure. The track demanded discipline. But out fr

By S.M.A.S.H — May 23, 2026 Memorial Day weekend continued at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the S.M.A.S.H O’Reilly Auto Parts Series taking its turn on one of the biggest stages of the season. After Friday night’s truck doubleheader set the tone for the weekend, the O’Reilly field rolled into Charlotte for 100 laps of fast, clean, pressure-heavy racing. The track was wide. The pace was strong. The field had room to race. And Dillon Canova made sure the night belonged to him.

By S.M.A.S.H — May 23, 2026 It is race day again in S.M.A.S.H, and Charlotte Motor Speedway is not done with us yet. After the Challenger Truck Series and East Coast Truck Series opened Memorial Day weekend on Friday night, the spotlight now shifts to Saturday as the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and S.M.A.S.H Cup Series take their turn at one of the biggest tracks on the schedule. Two series. One track. One meaningful weekend. Charlotte already carries weight on any schedule. I

By S.M.A.S.H — May 22, 2026 Memorial Day weekend continued at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the S.M.A.S.H East Coast Truck Series taking over the track for the second half of Friday night’s truck doubleheader. After the Challenger Truck Series opened the evening, the East Coast field rolled into Charlotte for 100 laps with a full race still ahead and the meaning of the weekend still sitting heavy over the grid. This was not just another points night. This was Charlotte. This

By S.M.A.S.H — May 22, 2026 Memorial Day weekend opened at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the S.M.A.S.H Challenger Truck Series taking the first green flag of the Friday night doubleheader. The sun was still up, the track still had that evening daylight look, and the meaning of the weekend was already heavy before the first lap was turned. Charlotte is always a major stop on the schedule, but Memorial Day weekend gives it a different feel. This was not just another race. It wa

By S.M.A.S.H — May 22, 2026 It is race day in S.M.A.S.H, and this one carries more weight than a normal Friday night. Tonight, the Challenger Truck Series and East Coast Truck Series roll into Charlotte Motor Speedway to open Memorial Day weekend under the S.M.A.S.H banner. The Challenger Truck Series will kick off the night first, followed by the East Coast Truck Series in the second half of the Friday night doubleheader. Charlotte is already one of the biggest stages on the

By S.M.A.S.H — May 21, 2026 S.M.A.S.H is officially opening the door to something new. Driver registration is now open for the upcoming S.M.A.S.H Super Late Model Asphalt Series, marking another major step forward as the league continues building toward Season 2. This is not just another tab on the schedule. This is a new kind of racing for S.M.A.S.H. A different rhythm. A different attitude. A different test. The Super Late Model Asphalt Series brings short-track energy, tig

By S.M.A.S.H — May 20, 2026 Some race weekends are bigger than points. Some nights mean more than finishing position, lap times, or where a driver sits in the standings. Memorial Day weekend is one of those moments. As S.M.A.S.H heads into a major Charlotte Motor Speedway weekend across the league, drivers are being encouraged to take the track with something deeper than speed on display. This weekend, S.M.A.S.H is calling on its drivers to bring out custom Memorial Day tribu

By S.M.A.S.H — May 19, 2026 S.M.A.S.H has not slowed down. After a busy stretch of racing, schedule work, driver movement, and planning behind the scenes, the league is heading into one of its biggest weeks yet. Season 2 information is starting to roll out, Charlotte Motor Speedway is coming up for all four series, the Super Late Model schedule has been released, and the brand-new S.M.A.S.H podcast is set to launch next Monday night. That is a lot happening at once. But that

By S.M.A.S.H — May 18, 2026 Memorial Day weekend is coming, and S.M.A.S.H is rolling into Charlotte Motor Speedway with all four series preparing for one of the biggest weekends on the schedule. Charlotte is not just another stop. It is a statement weekend. It is one of those races where the lights feel brighter, the pressure feels heavier, and every driver wants to leave with their name attached to a strong run. From the Challenger Series to the East Coast Truck Series, from

By S.M.A.S.H — May 17, 2026 Some drivers ease into a race. Others bring speed, confidence, and the willingness to make something happen the moment the opportunity is there. Dillon Canova is the second kind. The driver of the #70 has quickly become one of the sharper names inside S.M.A.S.H, not because he races quietly, but because he brings a mix of raw pace, experience, and controlled aggression that forces everyone around him to pay attention. When asked how he would descri

By S.M.A.S.H — May 16, 2026 Kansas Speedway belonged to Dillon Canova. After already putting his stamp on the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series earlier in the night, Canova came back in the S.M.A.S.H Cup Series and did it again. In a 21-car field with a 1941 strength of field, the No. 70 controlled the Cup race, led 82 of 100 laps, and walked away from Kansas with another statement victory. It was not a quiet win. It was not a lucky win. It was the kind of performance that makes the

By S.M.A.S.H — May 16, 2026 Kansas Speedway delivered a clean, fast, and disciplined night for the S.M.A.S.H O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and when the 100-lap run was over, Dillon Canova stood above the field. Canova did not just win the race. He controlled it. In a 20-car field with an 1882 strength of field, the O’Reilly Series went 100 laps with zero cautions, zero caution laps, and four lead changes. That kind of race leaves no room for excuses. No reset. No bunching the f

By S.M.A.S.H — May 16, 2026 Race day is back for S.M.A.S.H, and Saturday night belongs to Kansas Speedway. Tonight, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the S.M.A.S.H Cup Series roll into one of the most demanding intermediate tracks on the schedule. Kansas is fast, wide, and unforgiving when drivers lose patience. It rewards momentum, clean air, tire management, and the ability to run side-by-side without turning the field into junk. For both divisions, this is more than anoth

By S.M.A.S.H — May 15, 2026 Braxton DeWeese came into Kansas Speedway and left with control of the East Coast Truck Series field. In a 100-lap Friday night race that doubled as the East Coast Truck Series points event and the Challenger Invaders crossover test, DeWeese delivered the kind of run that sets the tone for the rest of the garage. He started from the pole, led 90 laps, kept the truck clean, and took the checkered flag in front of a 26-truck field. This was not just

By S.M.A.S.H — May 15, 2026 Shane Marcum came into the Challenger Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway and left with the win. In a 50-lap race that opened one of the biggest Friday nights S.M.A.S.H has put together so far, Marcum showed the field what race control looks like. He led 35 laps, stayed clean with zero incidents, and took the checkered flag in front of a 22-truck field. Daryl Griffin finished second, giving East Coast Truck Series drivers the top two spots overall
