For Raisin City, California’s Mitchel Moles, Red Hill Raceway officially became a home away from home this weekend. After winning Friday night’s feature at the Sumner, Illinois 3/8-mile dirt oval, Moles backed it up on Saturday night to win the inaugural Illinois Sprint Car Championship, co-sanctioned by both the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and the Midwest Thunder 410 Sprint Car Series.
In sickness and in health, Mitchel Moles has had quite the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season thus far in 2026. During Friday night’s Illinois Sprint Car Championship weekend opener at Red Hill Raceway in Sumner, Illinois, Moles set a new career high in USAC National Sprint Car wins for a season with his third triumph of the year after fending off an attack from Jadon Rogers down the stretch to the checkered.
Red Hill Raceway, it’s good to be back! This time, USAC heads back to Red Hill for a brand new event on the calendar – the Illinois Sprint Car Championship – for two-straight nights of action this weekend on June 5-6, with Friday’s feature paying $6,000-to-win and Saturday’s winner bringing home $10,000.
