Zach Sobotka erased last year’s second-place run in the Hoag Memorial by putting the No. 38 on top. The 2025 series champion and Empire Super Sprints champion fended off newly crowned two-time champion Dalton Herrick on a dramatic late restart, scoring his third CRSA victory of 2026 and a $4000 payday.
The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints were guaranteed a first-time winner when 15 drivers took the grid for Friday night’s Non-Winners event in the Hoag Memorial. Dustin Sehn and Nolan Groves battled on the front row for the $250 prize—Sehn’s No. D9 then held off a late-race charge from Groves for his first career CRSA A-Main victory.
The witching hour has arrived in the 2026 A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints season. Racing will draw to a close Friday and Saturday night in the two-night $4000-to-win Hoag Memorial, with Friday featuring a non-winners event and Saturday featuring a full day of racing.
A revision has been made for Friday night’s non-winners show as part of the Hoag Memorial at Outlaw Speedway. Not only will the winner take home $250, but the top two drivers will also be eligible to redraw for Saturday’s Elab Smokers Boutique Dash.
The season finale for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints will have to wait one more week. Track management has postponed this weekend’s Hoag Memorial to Oct. 23-24 due to weather.
Sometimes, the best wins come when you least expect them. The night before Saturday’s CRSA Sprints showdown at The Dirt Track at Genesee, Scott Kreutter had his helmet packed away when the phone rang. On the other end was car owner Brandan Warner, giving a last-minute shot behind the wheel of the No.21K.
The witching hour is here for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints as a month remains in the 2026. Two more full points shows and a show-up points event remains and it starts Friday night at Land of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua for night one of the Gerald Haers Memorial.
Du you believe it? Lance Dusett couldn’t after Thursday night at Land of Legends. The No. 14x took the lead from Tyler Graves on a lap seven restart to score his first career CRSA A-Main in the DisBatch Brewing Company/Stirling Lubricants Challenge. Dusett became the 89th different driver to win a CRSA Sprints feature.
