The road to Super DIRT Week 54 and the 2026 DIRTcar Pro Stock Series title has its toughest challenge ahead, as drivers prepare for three races over the next seven days.
Kicking off the three-race stretch is a return to Brewerton Speedway in Central Square, NY, on Monday, Aug. 17, as part of SummerFAST with the Super DIRTcar Series. Drivers will battle in a 30-lap Feature paying $1,000-to-win.

After Monday’s visit to Brewerton, the Series returns to New York’s Capital Region on back-to-back nights. First up is a stop at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, NY on Saturday, Aug. 22. Then, the Series moves to Glen Ridge Motorsports Park in Fultonville, NY on Sunday, Aug. 23.
Both races will also be 30 laps, paying $1,000-to-win.

Here’s a look at what to watch for at Brewerton, Lebanon Valley, and Glen Ridge:
Alone at the Top: With four races complete in this year’s chase for the DIRTcar Pro Stock championship, Bastien Caron sits at the top of the standings. The Inverness, QC driver holds a 28-point lead over Jason Casey entering this three-race stretch.
To keep that advantage, he’ll head to three racetracks where he’s never made a Series start, including Brewerton and Glen Ridge, where he’s never turned a lap. However, he has made a start at Lebanon Valley, finishing fourth on June 20.
A win at any of these three tracks will be his third career Series win.
Chasing Caron: While Caron has breathing room at the top of the standings, three drivers are separated by six points in the battle for second. Casey, from Canaan, CT, holds second, two points ahead of Devon Camenga, who’s two points ahead of defending Series champion Pete Stefanski.
Out of the three drivers, Casey has an advantage over the other two in this stretch as the Series visits his home track at Lebanon Valley. Casey has five victories at the track this season, including a win last Saturday. In Series events, his best finish at Lebanon Valley is a second, matching his best finish at Brewerton.
At Glen Ridge, his best finish is an eighth in 2024.
Stefanski, the six-time Series champion, is the only driver of the three to win a Series event at one of this week’s three tracks, winning at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park in 2024. The North Tonawanda, NY driver has also found success at the other two tracks, finishing second at Brewerton in 2023 and second at Lebanon Valley in 2010, along with a third-place finish last year.
Stefanski’s next win will be his 29th career Series victory.
Camenga, from Troy, NY, also has podium finishes at Brewerton and Lebanon Valley, finishing third at Lebanon Valley in 2024 and third last year during SummerFAST. Last year’s I Love NY 50 winner’s best finish at Glen Ridge is fourth in 2024. He’s searching for his second career Series triumph.
The Valley Streak: Over the history of the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series, there hasn’t been a place that’s tougher to win for the Series regulars than Lebanon Valley. In 17 races at the “Valley of Speed,” a track regular has won all 17 of them, including Frank Twing, who’s won the last two.
The Series driver who came closest to knocking off Twing last year was Stefanski, who finished third. That’s the same position that Zack Sorrentino finished in 2024. Sorrentino, from Lee, MA, is a two-time track champion at Lebanon Valley, but has only planned on following the Series regularly in 2026.
He has his chance to earn his first career Series victory in the race that’s closest to his Massachusetts home.
