DriveRefine Performance Management Weekend Recap:

Another race weekend at Dillon Motor Speedway for Eli Black, Rhylee Hutchins, and Colton Hale ended with top-five finishes across the board.

In the Young Lions race, both Eli and Rhylee had strong performances. Eli started on pole and battled inside the top two for all 25 laps before crossing the line in second, his second consecutive runner-up finish! Rhylee started in sixth and fought hard against her fellow competitors, passing multiple cars before crossing the line fourth. Another solid performance for the No. 15 machine!

In the Semi-Pro event, Colton was looking to go back-to-back at Dillon. Colton started second and was showing he had the pace from the get-go. Unfortunately, Colton was spun while battling for the lead, ending his chance at winning. However, Colton battled back through the field, one by one, to cross the line fifth. Colton also set the fastest lap of the race during his persistent drive.

At White Mountain Motorsports Park, Sylas Ripley put together another solid performance in his PASS SLM. After leading some laps in the Heat race, Ripley spent most of the feature event running up front battling it out with the toughest in the north east. On a late race restart, Ripley was unable to get down to the lower line and found himself sliding a little bit and speedy dry. Sylas would eventually cross the line eighth with a clean racecar as the team gears up for a busy weekend ahead.

At just 17 years old, Sylas Ripley continues to build an impressive resume in New England short-track racing.

DRIVER SPOTLIGHT: RHYLEE HUTCHINS

At just 14 years old, Rhylee Hutchins continues to build an impressive foundation in U.S. Legend Cars competition.

From success in Bandoleros to multiple Young Lions victories in 2026, Rhylee has continued to make steady progress through each stage of her young racing career. Her third-place finish at the 2025 U.S. Legend Cars Asphalt Nationals also showed she can compete on a national stage.

With experience on both dirt and asphalt, continued development, and plenty of racing still ahead, Rhylee is building her career one race at a time.
