10/12/26 TMS FALL RACING UPDATE:

There are still THREE huge weekends of racing remaining at the Texas Motor Speedway's Dirt Track and Lil' TMS!

The first is THIS WEEKEND, Oct. 16-17 with the running of the High Limit Racing All-In Series Championship, paying $50,000 to win on the finale, which will also determine the series championship - which is still up for grabs! To purchase tickets, visit: https://highlimitracing.regfox.com/season-finale-at-texas...

Also, THIS WEEK there is a non-racing event, when Speedway Children’s Charities and Tony Stewart Racing will host the 2nd Annual Tony Stewart Bowling Tournament on October 14, 2026 - featuring RICO Abreu, Christopher Bell, Tony Stewart, EJ Tackett, Sean Rash Fan Page – and a host of others! Visit https://www.speedwaycharities.org/.../tony-stewart.../ for details.

The next event will be the Oct. 30-31st POWRi/NOW600 National Micros competing for two nights of action at the Lil' Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Grandstand tickets will be available upon your arrival at the track on race nights.

The final weekend of racing will be the highly anticipated return of the Deuces Wild Championship on Nov. 6-7, featuring the Series championship of the POWRi National 410 Winged Sprint Cars, the Heartland Late Model tour and the USRA American Racer Modified Series. This triple header was a blast last year, and you can save $22 on grandstand 2-day passes – click the POWRi link at the top of this page: www.darinshort.com for complete event information!

And if you're wondering how a 45 point lead in HL translates to finishing positions, here's a pretty easy way to visualize it:

Rico has 3057 points, Gio 3012.

Difference 45 points.

It pays 77 points to win and 9th place pays 55 points.

So, for example, if Rico finishes 9th each night and Gio finishes 1st each night, Rico will win the points championship by 1 point.

In Aaron's case, for example, he is 77 points out, at 2980. If he were to win both features, that would be 154 points, which means Rico would have to finish 17th each night (39 points/night) to win the championship title by 1 point.

And one final example, if the above scenario happened where Aaron won both nights and Rico averaged 38 or less points a night, Gio would need to finish 6th each night - and if that happened - Aaron and Gio would tie in points.

Lots of interesting scenarios and possibilities exist beyond these three quick examples heading into championship weekend.
