Plenty of fans and teams joined in to start their Memorial Day Weekend with a Saturday night showdown at White Mountain Motorsports Park. After struggling with a fuel issue in her heat race, Chloe Doyle kept pace with the front of the Dad’s 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Division as Makenzi Sicard and heat winner Khloe Goodbout followed close behind. Cooper Benoit and Gracen Gorham made it a five-way fight for the top spot until Gorham, Sicard and Goodbout were collected in turn four to bring out the lone caution for a green-white-checker finish. In the finale, Chloe Doyle took down her first feature win at White Mountain over Benoit and Evan Folsom.
The two-wide stronghold broke apart by lap five in the 35-lap The Farmyard Store Flying Tiger feature with Nate Hamblett driving away with the lead as Owen Cheney and Shane Sicard gave chase. Sicard faced a mirror full of Kyle Willis with Willis motoring to the outside groove. Nate Hamblett would take down the win just ahead of Cheney at the line while a side-by-side battle for third saw Kyle Willis just edge Luke Peters for the third-place podium spot.

On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch.
Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans. Throughout a career that spanned more than two decades, Kyle set records in national series wins, won championships at NASCAR’s highest level and fostered the next generation of drivers as an owner in the Truck Series. His sharp wit and competitive spirit sparked a deep emotional connection with race fans of every age, creating the proud and loyal ‘Rowdy Nation.’ Our thoughts are with Samantha, Brexton and Lennix, Kyle and Samantha’s parents, Kurt and all of Kyle’s family, Richard and Judy Childress, everyone at Richard Childress Racing, his teammates, friends and fans. NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon.
During this incredibly difficult time, we ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy and continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Further updates will be shared as appropriate.
Denny Hamlin added another chapter to his legendary NASCAR Cup Series career Sunday afternoon, surviving a chaotic and dramatic NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway to claim the $1 million prize in impressive fashion.
Hamlin battled Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Chase Briscoe throughout the closing laps of the 350-lap event, with the two repeatedly swapping the lead during the final 200-lap segment before Hamlin ultimately pulled away in the closing laps at The Monster Mile.
The victory marked Hamlin’s second career NASCAR All-Star Race win and his first since 2015 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It also made him just the 10th driver to win multiple All-Star Races and only the third driver to win the event at multiple tracks, joining Kyle Larson and Joey Logano.
Picture perfect weather greeted the fans and competitors at White Mountain Motorsports Park for HK Powersports Opening weekend. Over 100 cars filled the pit area for Saturday’s car show and season-starter while the Pro All Stars Series invasion on Sunday afternoon put an exclamation mark on a showstopping start to the 2026 season.
It all began Saturday with a moment to reflect on the loss of track builder and founder Donnie Avery with all cars on display to mark the moment. Racing action started off hot and heavy with the Dads 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Division as Gracen Gorham, Maddie Potter, Evan Folsom and Kaden Wimble fought under a blanket nearly all 15 laps! Gorham slid by Potter in the closing laps to claim the win with Wimble keeping third.
The Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Strictly Minis opened the flood-gates to start the feature with Jacob Roy, Donnie Baumgardner and Tyler Thompson duking out for the top spot. At the halfway point Thompson flew out of the groove and into the turn one concrete, drove back the pit area and called it a night. Jacob Roy capitalized late to take the HK Powersports Opening Day win over Baumgardner and John Knight at the line.
