Smith and McCreadie Take Modified Mains, Green, Beebe, Bobbett, Lobdell Jr. Also Reach Victory Lane at Thunder Mountain Speedway

CENTER LISLE, NY – For only the fourth time in 2026, the weather gods smiled on Thunder Mountain Speedway to allow a night of racing. Matt Smith captured a thrilling Dirt Track Digest TV Modified 35-lap feature, while Jordan McCreadie took down the DIRTcar 358 Modified 30-lap feature win. Other winners included Jared Green in the DIRTcar Sportsman feature, Chelsie Beebe in the 600cc Modified main event, Zach Bobbett with the 600 Sprints, and Jerry Lobdell Jr., who dominated the 20-lap Factory Stock dance.

Tommy Collins got the jump at the start of the Dirt Track Digest TV Modified feature after starting on the outside of the front row alongside pole sitter Eric Leet. The duo battled throughout the opening laps, and a caution came out with Collins still staying at the front.

With 10 laps complete, Collins kept the race lead while brothers Matt Smith and Darren Smith challenged one another for the runner-up position. Eventually, Matt was able to secure that position.

As the race moved to halfway, Matt began to close on Collins for the number one spot. Collins worked the cushion, as did Matt, while his brother worked down low.

Matt worked over Collins on lap 20, pulling a slider in turns three and four. Collins returned the favor in turns one and two. Matt stayed with Collins into turns three and four and pulled the same slide job to take the lead on lap 21. From there, Matt pulled away as his brother Darren worked by Collins in traffic to eventually take second.

In the final laps, Darren closed in, but it was all Matt, securing his second win of the season. Darren finished second with Collins holding off challenges to finish third. Cody Higbie was fourth with Leet rounding out the top five.

Jordan McCreadie charged from the sixth starting position to score the victory in the 30-lap DIRTcar 358 Modified feature after taking the lead from Jimmy Zacharias on lap 15. Zacharias, who started second, paced the opening half of the event before McCreadie made his move to the front and never looked back. Matt Smith completed the podium with a third-place finish after starting fifth, while Cody Higbie crossed the line fourth and Brandon Walters rounded out the top five. 

Jared Green pulled off a dramatic last-lap pass to capture the 25-lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature after tracking down race-long leader Alan Komar. Komar, who started from the pole, appeared headed for victory as he paced the field for nearly the entire event, but Green, who rolled off eighth, made his winning move coming off turn four on the final lap to steal the win. Komar settled for a hard-fought second-place finish, while Chance Spoonhower Jr. completed the podium in third. Matt Brewer crossed the line fourth after starting fifth in a competitive Sportsman main event. 

Chelsie Beebe went wire-to-wire to score the victory in the 20-lap 600cc Modified feature, leading every circuit from her pole starting position. Beebe faced a late challenge from Tom Donohue but remained in control when it mattered most to secure the win. Jared Green put together an impressive drive from 12th to finish second, while Charles Lohmeyer completed the podium in third. Samuel Hubbard charged from 16th to fourth, and Talan Oliver advanced from 11th to round out the top five.

Zach Bobbett raced to victory in the 20-lap 600cc Sprint feature, taking advantage of his front-row starting spot to earn the win. Bobbett held off a strong field throughout the event, with Kyle Pierce charging from seventh to finish second at the checkered flag. Isabella Landis turned in a solid run to claim third, while Cliff Pierce crossed the line fourth. Ivan Forney completed the top five after advancing from the eighth starting position.

Jerry Lobdell Jr. took command on lap five and never looked back en route to victory in the 20-lap Factory Stock feature. Lobdell, who started second, tracked down early leader Brian Rhodes and made the winning pass to secure the top spot. Rhodes held on for second at the finish, while Mike Morse completed the podium in third. Jason Rhodes crossed the line fourth, and Shane Moshier rounded out the top five.
