Inside Line Promotions – BURLINGTON, Wash. (May 19, 2026) – Trey Starks kept his top-five streak to start the season alive with his fifth straight last Saturday at Skagit Speedway.

Starks opened the 410ci winged sprint car program by setting quick time during qualifying before he maneuvered from fourth to third place in a heat race.

“We started out the night good,” he said. “The track had a lot of rain leading up to it so we knew it’d be narrow and fast. We went quick time and finished third in the heat race. We got a good start and into third and then rode there. Then we drew the six out of six in the feature redraw so not so great there.”

Starks moved into fifth place on the opening lap. He advanced to third on Lap 3 and into the runner-up position on Lap 15.

“There was a pretty good bump going into turn one and depending on how you hit it it’d upset your car,” he said. “A couple of cars in front of me started bouncing and I stayed low enough to get by both to get into third. Then the two leaders got racing pretty good and second place bounced and spun around so that put us into second about the midpoint of the feature. Robbie (Price) was really fast in clean track. We had a couple of restarts, but I couldn’t get by him. It was going to take a mistake from him for us to pass him, but he ran a good race and we finished second.”

Starks currently ranks second in the 410 championship standings by eight points.

He is back to double duty at Skagit Speedway this Saturday, competing in both the 410ci winged sprint car and 360ci winged sprint car divisions. Starks is the current leader in the 360 championship standings by 44 points.

If all goes well on Saturday, Starks plans on wrapping up the weekend by racing at the Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic on Sunday at Cottage Grove Speedway in Cottage Grove, Ore.

“It’ll be busy with the two on Saturday and making the trek on Sunday, but that’s one of the bigger races in the Northwest and one of the ones we look forward to each year,” he said. “It should be a fun weekend.”

Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (May 18, 2026) – Mother Nature forced the season opener to be delayed a week for Jack Dover, who is now slated to kick off his 2026 campaign this weekend with a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League tripleheader in Missouri.

The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver was rained out last Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. Up next is a three-race weekend starting with Dover making his debut at Electric City Speedway in Butler this Friday.

“I’m hopeful we can go down there the first night and have a good result,” he said. “We want to build on it from there. We’re hoping for a solid finish and no DNF.”

Races the two ensuing nights will be hosted by Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, where Dover last competed in July 2017.

“I’m very excited to go back,” he said. “I haven’t ran there in a long time and when I did it was in the 360 (sprint car). We had a lot of good runs. I’m looking forward to going there and hopefully coming out with a couple top fives or podiums.

“With it being our first weekend of the season we’re aiming for a strong showing each night, to run all the laps and not have any DNFs. If we can get a couple of top fives out of the weekend it’ll be a success.”

Inside Line Promotions – VIVIAN, La. (May 18, 2026) – Jordon Mallett posted a pair of podium finishes last weekend during an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints doubleheader at Ark-La-Tex Speedway.

Mallett’s results of second and third, respectively, during his debut at the track gives him six straight top-five finishes – his best run since seven in a row in the late summer of 2024. His career-best streak is eight consecutive top fives in 2020.

“Now that we’re able to race it’s showing we have a super consistent program,” he said. “We expect to be on the podium every night. We’re not one bit complacent. We’re trying stuff very night so to continue having that consistency is extremely encouraging and is a testament to A.G. (Rains) and his program.”

Mallett advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race on Friday before a late rally from the ninth starting position netted a runner-up result in the A Main. His seven positions gained earned the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars. His second-place finish also tied a season-best outing.

“I felt really good,” he said. “We were a late bloomer there in the feature. We were just okay early on, but the car really started to come to life the last 10 or 11 laps. We were able to roll through there, make good speed and have a lot of maneuverability. I wish we could have had more laps because we were able to make a lot of speed those last laps.”

Mallett continued to run strong on Saturday when he placed second in a heat race before advancing from sixth to third place in the A Main.

“We were in a little better position on Saturday night,” he said. “We made a few changes to make us better early on. The track was a little different and was bottom dominant. I was able to make speed on the top, but not move forward. I rode around in sixth or seventh most of the feature. Once we started to get toward the latter stages of the race my car kept getting better. We were able to do some things differently on restarts to use the top just enough to outrun the bottom for a lap. We made a late-race charge to get on the podium.”

USCS Series Speedweek runs the next two weekends, starting with shows this Friday at Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo.; Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.; Sunday at Old No. 1 Speedway in Harrisburg, Ark.; and Monday at Pine Ridge Speedway in Guntown, Miss.

“I’ve been waiting on Speedweek,” Mallett said. “It’s where you can do better going back-to-back-to-back. The weather doesn’t look great for this weekend, which has four races in a row close to home. I’m hoping it all times out just right so we get to race.”
