Butler Concludes 2026 Season Saturday Night
Quincy, MI - Season championships will be decided Saturday night at Butler Motor Speedway in all four divisions. The season finale serves as the final races of the year for both Winged Sprint Cars and UMP Modifieds in the state of Michigan.
The Sprint Car track championship is all but wrapped up as Dan McCarron holds a 74 point lead over 2022 track champion Josh Turner. McCarron will clinch his first Butler championship after qualifying Saturday night with the help of six top-five finishes throughout the season.
While the Sprint Car track championship is settled, the UMP Modified title race is anything but. Three drivers enter the night within just 15 points of each other, with defending champion Corey Bevard leading the way over Manix Furqueron and 2023 champion Robby Henderson. A feature position at Butler is two points each, so Furqueron will have to finish seven positions ahead of Bevard and Henderson eight ahead of the points leader to clinch the championship (not including any qualifying/heat race points gained during the night).
The Street Stock championship will also go down to the wire, with three drivers still mathematically eligible for the title. Jordon Hadley sits just 17 points ahead of Deuane Morley, while Tavvin Kyle needs a lot to go his way Saturday night as he sits 45 points back.
The 4-Cylinder division will crown Chad Minnix the 2026 track champion Saturday night, as he sits 79 points ahead of Bob Robinette going into the weekend. A long-time racer on both dirt and asphalt, Minnix has two feature wins and will earn his first Butler track championship Saturday night.
General admission gates open at 4:00 on Saturday, with racing set to begin at 7:30. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the gate.
