Bear Ridge Speedway is gearing up for their 59th year of consecutive racing with an “Elms at the Helm”. The Ridge continues to be the best source of great inexpensive high-quality entertainment for all ages and families.
Max Dolliver in the DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds will once again try to dethrone the six time champion. Will 2026 be the year for him or will returning veteran Richie Simmons set the track on fire as he gets back in the Modified saddle again. With the heavy hitters returning and the 2025 rookies with a year under their belt ready to do battle this year is set to be filled with great weekly racing excitement as well as all of the regular 95.3/107.1 the Wolf weekly racing divisions.
In the DIRTcar Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes the familiar face of Jason Horniak will be missing as he takes the big plunge moving up to the Sportsman Modifieds. Legendary names like Alsup and Shepard will be turning heads as they try to work their way up the points ladder in 2026.
The Dad’s 4 By Tool & Supply Sportsman Modifieds Limited is likely to see double the car counts from last year, with new drivers already signed up for the 2026 season. This is a great steppingstone to the DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds, and it is expected to see a few drivers test their talents in this division as the season progresses.
The Xtreme DIRTcar DMA Midgets numbers are looking strong this year, with several drivers already talking about being the one on top at the end of the season. Will this year’s champion once come from the Matczak or Miller Stables, or will Chris Murray be able to defend his title, to win his 3rd championship.
Also returning will be the High County Dispensary Late Models along with the LaValley Building Supply Dirt Stockers, the Woodsville Power Equipment Ridge Runners, the High Country Dispensary 4/6 Cylinder Enduro Series, and the Sting Vintage Race Dash for Cash events.
