MSCT officials are excited to announce that the May 30th event at Colorado National Speedway will now pay $1,500 to win and $275 to start, guaranteed! Allstar Performance and MPD Racing have also chipped in with $100 Quick Time and $100 Hard Charger bonuses.
This will be the first sprint car race of 2026 at the hugely popular speedway, which will also host winged sprint cars for three nights later in the summer.
With non-winged sprint cars joining the Open Wheel Showdown in the fall, series officials are looking forward to competing at a track similar in size to the Las Vegas Bullring. “We’re thrilled to have another event at CNS this summer—it’s a great chance for teams to get familiar with the track. We’re grateful to our marketing partners for boosting the payout, which might even draw some out-of-state racers,” said Series co-owner Mike Hathaway.
The 2026 season marks the third year for the growing series, which features rules accommodating both asphalt and dirt sprint cars. For more information, visit www.momentumsct.com.

As race season gets closer, the excitement is building! With the big news of High Banks Speedway at Beacon Hill reopening, we can’t wait to get back on track. We’ll kick things off at Colorado National Speedway on May 30th with the Momentum Sprint Car Tour, and we’re pumped to turn laps again at High Banks Speedway.

There’s also the ongoing debate—wing vs. non-wing sprint cars. Which do you think is more exciting, and why? Drop your thoughts in the comments 👇

Our drivers and team are ready to take on both styles, with 4 big races on the schedule. Let’s go racing! 🏁

A frequently posed inquiry regarding our drivers is: Why have we transitioned between various racing disciplines, such as dirt to pavement and wing to non-wing?

Our drivers' involvement in diverse racing environments stems from a rich background and experience. Exposure to stories about grandpa's flat track motorcycle racing days and his involvement with the Dusters Club sparked an early interest. Additionally, Chris and Mark's upbringing on two wheels further fueled this enthusiasm.

Naturally, we began competing on ice at Rainbow Falls at a young age, progressing to Quarter midgets, which ignited the racing passion. This interest escalated as we transitioned through quads, quarter midgets, micros, lightning sprints now to sprint cars, each presenting unique driving and handling characteristics.

Consequently, continually refining racing techniques and improving the cars is essential. The distinct disciplines can be summarized as follows:

•Dirt non-wing requires precise car control.

•Dirt wing takes momentum and aggression.

•Pavement non-wing and wing demand precision and raw speed.

Huge news for our future. Having a tight bullring to race as well as CNS will provide a great race season in the coming future.

The side of grassroots racing most fans never see isn’t the track—it’s the garage.

Most nights it’s one person turning wrenches, getting done whatever job needs attention that day.

Late nights. Long weekends. Grease on your hands and a never-ending list of work.

Grassroots motorsports isn’t built on big budgets. It’s built on passion, sacrifice, and the pure love of racing. 🏁🔧

New event added to our schedule. This is huge for our team.

OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN ADDS $10,000 TO WIN NON-WING SPRINT CAR DIVISION FOR 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV (February 19, 2026) – The fourth annual Open Wheel Showdown is excited to announce the addition of Non-Wing Sprint Cars for its 2026 running at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, November 5–7.

The new division will headline Friday Night’s Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying Night, serving as the featured event of the evening. The Non-Wing Sprint Cars will compete in a 75-lap main event paying $10,000 to win and $1,000 to start, adding another marquee moment to one of asphalt racing’s richest weekends. An incentive will also be offered for teams who run both the winged and non-wing divisions with details to be announced later.

Non-Wing’s addition to the Open Wheel Showdown continues the meaningful reintroduction of pavement sprint car racing to the Las Vegas area. The Southwest region was once rich in open-wheel tradition with events like the Turkey Night Grand Prix and the Cooper World Classic drawing national attention. Bringing Non-Wing Sprint Cars back to this stage reconnects the area with that storied history while introducing a new generation of fans to the excitement of pavement sprint car competition.

The addition marks a significant expansion of the Showdown’s class structure, joining Winged Sprint Cars, Modifieds, Super Modifieds, Legends, and Bandoleros to further solidify the event as the definitive asphalt open wheel racing festival.

“Adding Non-Wing Sprint Cars to the Open Wheel Showdown builds upon my vision to make this the premier pavement open wheel event in the world," Promoter Davey Hamilton, Jr. said. "Not only will this be a great addition for the competitors and the fans, I am looking forward to jumping in to chase the $10,000 prize. Friday night under the lights in Las Vegas will be even more electric in 2026 with the Non-Wing Sprint Cars headlining the program and I can't wait to see the racing!”

The new division will receive strong support from the YourBIGPlans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour, a national series dedicated to non-wing pavement sprint car competition and preserving the heritage of the discipline.

“This is an important step for the growth of non-wing pavement sprint car racing,” said Jared Owen, Series Director of the YourBIGPlans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour. “Events like the Open Wheel Showdown create major opportunities for our teams to compete on a big stage. It’s another building block in the continued growth of this division and directly supports the momentum we’re seeing around the Unified Group Services Little 500. The more high-profile races we create for non-wing sprint cars, the stronger the foundation becomes for the future of the Little 500 and pavement sprint car racing as a whole.”

The Open Wheel Showdown continues to attract top open wheel talent from coast to coast, offering one of the most compelling purses and competitive fields in pavement racing today.

Event registration opens on March 1. More info can be found at www.OpenWheelShowdown.com
