Two separate championship seasons will be offered in 2026 with the initial season running through June 20 with the annual Night of Fire. Following a summer break, racing resumes on Friday October 2 with the SPEARS CARS Tour West and ARCA Menards Series, West opening a planned 2026-27 fall, winter, and spring season.
Championships will be offered in the NASCAR Limited Late Models, NASCAR Modifieds, the newly combined NASCAR Street and Factory Stocks, NASCAR Mini Stocks, Terrible’s INEX Legends, and the youth of the sport in the INEX Bandoleros. Opening night includes the INEX classes competing in main events on Friday night as well. Optional Friday practice will be offered for all participating divisions.
Cody Brown won the Late Model championship on the strength of seven main event victories. Kyle Jacks took the coveted 2025 NASCAR Modifieds championship. Caitlyn Ford prevailed in the INEX Bandoleros and will take on the Terrible’s INEX Legends in 2026. Albuquerque’s Sean Salazar stood tall amongst a large group of Legends contenders for last year’s crown.
Travis Boyle won six times to take the 2025 Mini Stocks championship. Kyle Jacks and Michael Miller are the defending champions of the stock car classes heading into the new combined, race within a race, era in 2026.
