🏁 VICTORY LANE | NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY 🏁
Stage 1 belonged to Allen Drake and Richard Denny. The two veterans had the field covered early, controlling the pace and keeping everyone behind them as they battled for the top spot. When the green-and-white checkered flag flew on the opening stage, it was Allen Drake collecting the Stage 1 win.
But the story changed the moment the setups were put in.
From there, Jacob Schmitt unloaded a rocket ship and never looked back. Lap after lap, Schmitt put the rest of the field in chase mode. What started as a battle among underdog contenders quickly turned into a showcase of speed, consistency, and execution from the No. 11 team.
While Drake and Denny controlled the early portion of the race, Schmitt owned the second half, driving away from the competition and leaving no doubt about who had the fastest car when it mattered most.
🏆 Winner: Jacob Schmitt

🏁 RACE RECAP | NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY 🏁
What looked like it might be an Evan Helton show early quickly turned into a strategy-filled battle that kept everyone guessing.
Evan Helton and Mason LaForge controlled the opening portion of the race, trading the advantage as the field settled into long green-flag runs. As the laps clicked away, stage breaks and pit strategy completely shuffled the running order and set the stage for a dramatic finish.
When it mattered most, it came down to Mason LaForge and Jacob Schmitt in a hard-fought, door-to-door battle for the win. Neither driver was willing to give an inch as they fought through the closing laps.
The deciding moment came during the final round of pit stops in Stage 3. Trying to gain track position, Mason came up just short on fuel. After leading late and battling for the victory, his truck ran dry entering Turn 1 on the final lap.
That opened the door for Jacob Schmitt, who capitalized on the opportunity and brought home the victory after one of the most intense battles of the season.
Sometimes racing comes down to speed. Sometimes it comes down to strategy. Tonight, it came down to fuel.

🏁 DARLINGTON DELIVERS ANOTHER CLASSIC 🏁
Last night at Darlington Raceway, emotions were running high from the very beginning. A race filled with chaos, hard racing, and plenty of hurt feelings set the stage for a dramatic finish under the lights.
When the final caution flew and set up a restart with just 5 laps remaining, Evan Helton and his team made the call of the night—taking two tires and betting everything on track position.
Behind him was Jacob Schmitt, who charged through the closing laps and was rapidly closing the gap as the laps wound down. The battle came all the way to the checkered flag, but Evan was able to hold on by the slimmest of margins.
🏆 Winner: Evan Helton
📍 Darlington Raceway
📏 Margin of Victory: 0.039 Seconds
📚 6th Closest Finish in UTLR National Series History
In a race that seemed destined to end in controversy, Evan Helton kept his composure when it mattered most and turned a bold strategy call into a trip to Victory Lane.
Sometimes all you need is two tires, five laps, and the determination to never look in the mirror.
