MRR Racing

04/28/2026

Under the Hendry County lights, the dirt is about to turn into fireworks. This action-packed weekend you will see our three wheelmen charging into battle, wings tilted and tempers hot, with only one goal in mind: standing on the top step when the dust settles.

Leading the storm is Tyler Clem, who rolls into Hendry County hunting history as he looks to make it three wins in a row at this track. Confidence high, momentum rolling, and speed in the tank, Clem knows the fast way around Hendry.
But it will be anything but easy.

Mark Ruel Jr is locked in and ready to throw everything he has at the cushion in pursuit of victory. Expect him to be aggressive, fearless, and right in the mix when it matters most.

Brandon Grubaugh is equally determined to spoil the streak, bringing the kind of grit and throttle that can turn a race upside down in one corner. If there’s an opening, Grubaugh will be there.

Three elite Florida drivers. One Fast Sandpit as a battlefield. Hendry County fans are in for a full-throttle showdown.

And for the fans wanting to take home a piece of the action, all three drivers will have merchandise available at our Blue Merchandise Trailer. Stop by, gear up, and represent your favorite driver before the green flag drops! 🏁

We can’t wait for this event!

GOAL #1 UNLOCKED: A TWO-DAY EVENT!

After many great conversations with All-Tech Raceway, we’ve decided to turn the dial past 10 and UP THE ANTE...

The Tim Grubaugh Sr Sprintcar Showdown is officially becoming a TWO-DAY EVENT!

We’re still tightening bolts and polishing details, but one thing is locked in stone:

OCTOBER 30TH & 31ST

That Halloween weekend, the ground will shake as 750 horsepower, 360 cubic inch Winged Sprint Cars unleash absolute chaos around one of the finest racing surfaces in the country.
💨 Dirt flying.
🔥 Headers glowing.
🏁 Fans roaring.

🌙 Halloween vibes in full attack mode.
And honestly... this is huge.

One of the biggest things we kept hearing from out-of-town teams was:

👉 “The purse is awesome... but an 8+ hour haul for one night was tough.”

So we listened.

Now teams can make the trip worth it. Fans get TWO nights of war. And All-Tech gets to showcase the incredible facility and racing surface it deserves.

That means one thing...
THE HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR IS COMING.
A full weekend of horsepower and haunted horsepower accessories.
👻 Costumes in the pits?
🍬 Candy for the kids?
💀 Best decorated trailer contest?
🔥 Trick-or-treat tailgate zones?

🏁 Two nights of edge-of-your-seat Sprint Car insanity

This won’t be just another race.
This will be a destination weekend.
A fall festival with fuel injection.
A Halloween dirt track riot.

Now we want to hear from YOU 👇

🎃 What crazy ideas should we add to make this event unforgettable?

👻 What would make YOU load up and come?

What is Dirty Garage Promotions?

Dirty Garage Promotions was founded with a clear mission: to strengthen and grow Winged 360 sprint car racing across the Southeastern United States.

What began as an idea has evolved into an active initiative focused on addressing the real challenges facing the sport. Rising operational costs, limited promotional reach, and stagnant purses have created an unsustainable gap between expense and opportunity for teams and tracks alike. We believe that gap can be closed through strategic promotion, structured event management, and collaborative partnerships.

In 2026, Dirty Garage Promotions is proud to be actively organizing and supporting our 3rd Tim Grubaugh Sprintcar Showdown at All-Tech Raceway, widely recognized as a premier dirt facility in the Southeast (aka the Hidden Gem in the South). In partnership with the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, we are focused on delivering a professionally promoted event that elevates the experience for drivers, teams, sponsors, and fans.

In addition to event promotion, we have launched professionally branded merchandise programs featuring three of Florida’s premier drivers:
▪︎Tyler Clem
▪︎Mark Ruel Jr.
▪︎Brandon Grubaugh

These programs create additional revenue streams for drivers while strengthening fan engagement and brand visibility.

Our Vision for Growth
Dirty Garage Promotions is expanding its scope to provide:
▪︎Strategic promotional services for tracks and race series
▪︎Event development support for facilities looking to introduce or expand Winged 360 racing
Sponsorship activation and marketing partnerships for drivers
▪︎Brand development and merchandising programs
Driver representation and development opportunities

We are currently seeking:
▪︎Business partners interested in bringing Winged 360 racing to new or underserved markets
Corporate sponsors looking to align with a passionate, blue-collar fan base
▪︎Emerging drivers ready to join a structured, growth-focused promotional platform alongside proven veterans

Join OUR Investment Opportunity

Our objective is to create a sustainable business model that benefits all stakeholders in Southeastern sprint car racing. Through strategic promotion, commercial partnerships, and event ex*****on, we aim to increase purses, expand fan engagement, and build long-term viability for the sport.

We invite forward-thinking investors and partners to join us in shaping the next chapter of sprint car racing in the Southeast.

Together, we can build a stronger platform, create measurable growth, and deliver lasting impact for teams, tracks, sponsors, and fans alike.

Invest with us and we can make real change! Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much! Because Team Work makes the Dream work!

Weekend Recap from Hendry County King of the 360s

Night 1 - Friday

The team rolled into Hendry County Friday afternoon ready to get the 2026 season underway. Over the offseason, Mark put together a new chassis since the previous one had been bent last year.

The night got off to a rocky start with a not-so-great pill draw and Mark losing power steering in hot laps. Luckily, the issue was spotted right away when a line came loose. Mark tightened it up, refilled the power steering fluid, and we were ready to go for the heat race.

Mark started 6th in the first heat, and going into Turn 1 on the first lap, the car in front of him spun. Unfortunately, he had nowhere to go and hit the spinning car, knocking the front end out. The team got the front end and front wing swapped out and ready to go for the B-Main.

Mark started 8th in the B-Main and needed to finish in the top four to transfer to the feature. The track was slick and racy, with a ton of sliders being thrown in a battle for 6th. After dodging the wild ride the 5th-place car went for right in front of him, Mark threw a slider on the next restart to move into 4th and the final transfer spot. He finished the B-Main in 3rd and would line up 20th in the feature.

The track stayed very racy in the feature, and Mark started marching his way forward as soon as the green flag dropped. A few untimely cautions forced him to make the same pass multiple times, but he ultimately worked his way up to 11th. When the checkered flag flew, he finished 12th by just a few inches.

What started out as a rough night ended with a solid run and the team in good spirits heading into night two.

Night 2 - Saturday

The sun was shining Saturday, and the weather was beautiful as the crew washed and got the car ready for Night 2. With $10K to win on the line, the format was a bit different, starting with time trials. Mark was one of the last to qualify and timed in 12th. He wasn’t very happy with his qualifying effort, but it still set him up well for the heats.

He started 3rd in Heat Race 4, with the top three automatically making the feature. The heat race was a close battle between the top three, with Mark finishing 3rd and lining up 14th for the feature.

When the green flag flew, there was a series of early cautions, and Mark slipped back to 16th. Once the race really got going and stayed green, he began working his way forward through the field. By the final restart, with around 10 laps to go, Mark had worked his way up to 9th. In the closing laps, he made the pass for 8th and then snuck in the pass for 7th on the final lap.

Despite some early struggles and setbacks, it was a solid weekend competing against some really great competitors. We’d like to give a special thanks to Brandon for serving as crew chief this weekend, and to Ashley and Lennie for working hard selling merch. If you haven’t seen it yet, head over to Dirty Garage Promotions to get yours - they turned out great 🔥😍
