The 2026 Championship weekend is set to conclude at Riverhead Raceway this Saturday, October 3rd, and Sunday, October 4th, following a week-long delay. The action kicks off with the annual Baldwin, Evans & Jarzombek 77 on Saturday, which serves as the final race toward the 2026 track championship for the NASCAR Local Racing Series. The weekend features intense battles across multiple divisions, including Late Models, Crate Modifieds, and Super Pro Trucks.
On Saturday, the championship fight is heating up.

Meanwhile, in the Eagle Chevrolet Crate Modifieds, AJ DeSantis and Richie Davidowitz are knotted for the lead, with Michael Berner close behind in third. The Super Pro Truck title remains undecided, as Frank Dumicich Jr. holds a slim four-point lead over Mark Stewart, with Erin Solomito in third.
Sunday brings the Street Stocks and Truck Enduros.
