Good afternoon!

This weekend was an extremely busy one in pavement Late Model racing, considering how late in the year it was. This Monday Digest edition is loaded!

In a few parts of the country, drivers won races and clinched season championships at the same time, such as Kaiden Fisher in the Milton Caterpillar American-Canadian Tour (inset photo from Jimmy Wiggin Speedway Images).

Besides Fisher at Seekonk Speedway, the two main touring circuits in New England also wrapped up their seasons this weekend. The Granite State Pro Stock Series saw Wayne Helliwell Jr. grab his fourth career win in the tour; this stop at Claremont Motorsports Park was just his second series appearance in 2026. A larger field graced Oxford Plains Speedway, the home track of the Pro All Stars Series; the large group of PASS 400 celebrators included Mike Rowe, Eddie MacDonald, Johnny Clark, Ryan Kuhn and D.J. Shaw.

The year's final pavement event in the upper Midwest was the Falloween 100 at Dells Raceway Park. Ty Majeski was an unsurprising winner while Casey Johnson clinched the Alive for Five Super Late Model title. Nick Schneider had his own reason to celebrate, although he couldn't wrestle the 602 class crown from Tanner Berge.

Most of the rest of the action was in the Southeast, highlighted by the World Crown 300 at Cordele Motor Speedway where Stephen Nasse and Bubba Pollard were the standouts. North Carolina was also busy, with shows at Tri-County Speedway, Ace Speedway and Orange County Speedway. Past Tennessee track champions Lance Gatlin and Mark Day also enjoyed their weekends, as did Tucker Jones at Langley Speedway in Virginia. And out west, a disappointment earlier this fall for Las Vegas native Kyle Keller was turned around again with a big-money win at Stockton 99 Speedway.

All of those results, plus more than 20 photos, are included below. Many of the big shows also have story links which we are sharing. Scroll down past some messages from more of our fantastic advertisers to see it all!
