Jeremy Doss secured his first career victory in CARS Tour Southwest Pro Late Model competition by winning the Kyle Busch Classic 118 at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The inaugural event, held on October 2, 2026, honored the late Las Vegas native Kyle Busch, and Doss expressed that the win held special meaning as he was a fan of the legendary driver.
The race began with Spencer Gallagher taking the pole position, but his night ended quickly after he crashed into the outside wall on the second lap. Linny White soon took the lead, while co-points leader Kyle Keller moved into second. Jaron Giannini began challenging the top two, eventually taking second place after battling with Linny White.
The race saw significant mechanical issues and caution periods. After a caution on Lap 31 due to fluid on the track, Keller suffered brake fade and eventually lost power, forcing him to retire in 14th place. Later, on Lap 106, Eric Schmidt spun off Turn 4 after a tire failure, bringing out the final caution.
Doss maintained his charge throughout the grueling 118-lap event. On the final restart, Doss successfully passed Robby Sawyer, crossing the finish line to claim the victory. Giannini finished second, while Sawyer took third, allowing him to maintain the championship advantage heading into the season finale.
