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

By S.M.A.S.H — May 15, 2026 The stage is set, and Friday night at Kansas Speedway is going to carry some extra weight. S.M.A.S.H rolls into one of its biggest race nights yet with a full Challenger Truck Series points race first, followed by a 100-lap East Coast Truck Series showdown featuring 12 locked-in Challenger Invaders. That means the Challenger drivers are not walking into the East Coast field fresh. They have to qualify, race 50 laps, survive their own points event,

By S.M.A.S.H — May 13, 2026 The list is final, and the stage is set. This Friday night at Kansas Speedway, the Challenger Truck Series Invaders get their shot at the East Coast Truck Series field in one of the most anticipated S.M.A.S.H events of the season so far. But they are not walking into this fresh. First, the Challenger Series drivers have to run their own scheduled points race. They have to qualify, race 50 laps, survive, and try to grab every point they can in their

By S.M.A.S.H — May 12, 2026 Kansas Speedway is about to carry one of the busiest weekends S.M.A.S.H has put together this season. Four series. Two nights. A Friday night crossover between the Challenger Series and the East Coast Truck Series. A Saturday doubleheader with the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Cup Series both looking to make noise. The East Coast Truck Series may get the live spotlight, and for good reason. It has become one of the most entertaining shows in t

By S.M.A.S.H — May 11, 2026 This Friday night, S.M.A.S.H is putting the next wave of drivers directly in the fire.
