No driver showed more growth throughout the past USAC season than Hayden Reinbold. Now, the 22-year-old Gilbert, Arizona native is back on the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship trail full-time again in 2026 as the driver of the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports No. 19AZ on the 29-race tour.
The career crossroads Spencer Bayston faced last year are well behind him. Parting ways with Jason Meyers Racing in August left Bayston searching for a ride. Impressive runs on the West Coast in Kevin Kozlowski’s Works Limited Sprint Car and the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 reminded the sport of this 27-year-old’s talent. Most importantly, he caught the eyes of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Richard and Jennifer Marshall as they hunted a new driver.
There was no threat of rain at all Friday night at Lawton Speedway, but Scott Bogucki still wound up soaked from head to toe. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series rookie had just wheeled the Three Stooges Racing No. 51 to his first career podium. Bogucki came home second, trailing only two-time and defending champion, David Gravel.
