Race Recap – August 22nd, 2026 at Edmonton Int'l Raceway

Construction Appreciation Night brought a strong crowd to Edmonton International Raceway, setting the stage for a full evening of racing capped off with the 100‑Lap Thunder Car Special! With qualifying, heats, and a long feature ahead, the Thunder Car program had a busy and competitive night.

Thunder Car Race Results:
• Qualifying – 2nd place (fast lap 15.057)
• Heat 1A – 1st place (fast lap 14.893)
• Heat 2A – 1st place (fast lap 15.146)
• Feature – 6th place

The Thunder Car #23 came out strong early in the night, qualifying 2nd and backing it up with wins in both Heat 1A and Heat 2A. With a full invert for the feature, we rolled off 7th for the 100‑lap main. The car had speed, but the long race brought its challenges, making it a tough climb through the field. Despite the setbacks, we pushed through and crossed the line in 6th place, closing out the night with valuable experience and plenty learned for the next one.

Saturday's Thunder Car Special was proudly supported by FireX Inspections and The Battery Post out of Camrose, the event’s title sponsors and our team sponsors. From batteries, fire extinguishers, safety gear, and more, their support keeps us powered, protected, and ready to race every weekend!
