QUINCY, MI (June 20, 2026) — Brock Hallett completed his racing tour of the United States of America by winning the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association feature Saturday night at Butler Motor Speedway.
Hallett, from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia took the lead from Scotty Neitzel on lap 10 and overcame a tangle with his fellow countryman Todd Moule in slower traffic to claim his second feature victory this season at Butler.
Thomas Meseraull and Neitzel started on the front row for the 30-lap main event. Meseraull led the first three circuits before Neitzel was able to get a run on the bottom of the racetrack between turns three and four to take the lead.
Before Neitzel could get comfortable up-front Hallett’s car came to life as he went from third to first position in three consecutive laps, taking the lead from Neitzel on lap 10 blasting around the top of the 3/8-mile oval.
Hallett appeared to be comfortably in the lead until tangling with Moule while attempting to put him a lap down. Both cars were sideways in turn four with Moule sliding to a stop and Hallett driving away unscathed.
During the final restart Hallett was able to drive away to a 1.556 second advantage over Travis Arnez at the finish. Meseraull, Neitzel, and Logan Julien rounded out the top five.
By virtue of his fifth-place finish, Julien took over the IRA Sprint Car Series point lead over Travis Arnez. Will Armitage, who led the point standings until recent engine issues dropped to third in the standings.
