Matlock took the UTV Overall win aboard his Polaris RZR Pro R Factory, securing the $50,000 purse tied to Polaris' SCORE Challenge. The challenge, announced in July, offered the prize to any eligible UTV racer who could beat the factory RZR Factory Racing team and capture the UTV Overall victory.

Bristol, Tenn. – September 11, 2026 -- Brad Pitt will serve as Grand Marshal for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race on Saturday, Sept. 19 at Bristol Motor Speedway, appearing alongside Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris six days before Pitt's new film opens in theaters.

It marks the third race of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Chase, a 500-lap event on Bristol's 0.533-mile concrete oval.

Monza – September 08, 2026 -- Barilla hosted the first-ever "La Tavolata" dinner ahead of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, seating more than 200 guests at a table stretching nearly 100 meters through the paddock.

The Thursday evening gathering brought together drivers, team principals, mechanics, engineers, strategists, safety and medical car drivers, personal trainers, and tire technicians -- the people whose coordination shapes every race weekend but who rarely share a meal together during it.

VCARB driver Yuki Tsunoda dined alongside his own race engineer

Among the attendees were VCARB driver Yuki Tsunoda and his Race Engineer, Alexandre Iliopoulos. Tsunoda said the evening showcased "all the people it takes to win on and off track," adding that teamwork rarely gets celebrated outside of race weekends.

The complex spans 16 acres near Topgolf and Smash Park

Supercharged Entertainment Polaris will mirror the design of the company's New Jersey location, which opened in Edison in December 2022. The site sits within the Polaris Centers of Commerce, alongside existing shopping and dining destinations.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Audi brought its performance credentials to the Miami Grand Prix at the end of April, marking the brand's first US Formula 1 appearance as a factory team and debuting the all-new Audi RS 5 in the F1 Pirelli Hot Lap Program for the first time on American soil. The weekend spanned the racetrack at Miami Gardens and the streets of Wynwood, with city-wide fan activations, partner events, and premium hospitality at Turn 1 running from April 30 through May 3. For Audi, the Miami debut carried particular significance — it was the brand's first US factory racing appearance since competing in Formula E in New York City in 2021.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 24, 2025 – Formula E returned to Sanya, China for the first time in seven years, and the Citroën Racing Formula E Team had one of those days that reminds everyone why electric street racing is impossible to predict. Round 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship played out around the Haitang Bay circuit under intense heat, featuring a mid-race red flag, two Full Course Yellow periods, and enough position shuffling to keep fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Jean-Éric Vergne worked his way from thirteenth to eighth to claim four championship points, while Nick Cassidy — who briefly led the race — was ultimately unclassified after a string of incidents derailed what had been a genuinely strong afternoon.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 24, 2026 – Team Peugeot TotalEnergies and its six drivers made it to the finish line of the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans, completing a gruelling race weekend that coincided with the centenary of Peugeot's first Le Mans participation — though the result, an 11th and 12th place finish, fell short of what the team had been chasing. The two PEUGEOT 9X8 Hypercars crossed the finish line after 24 hours of relentless racing at the Circuit de la Sarthe, collecting six FIA WEC championship points and a clear sense of what needs to improve before the season closes out and before the 2027 programme takes shape.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 15, 2026 – Alfa Romeo has claimed victory at the 44th 1000 Miglia, with a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport driven by Juan and Margarita Tonconogy crossing the finish line first on Brescia's Viale Venezia on June 13. It is the brand's 11th overall win at what is widely called the most beautiful race in the world, extending a record of dominance stretching back to 1928 that no other manufacturer has come close to matching. Alongside the outright victory, Alfa Romeo turned up in force — 50 cars at the start line, a rare 1956 1900 Super Sprint from the Heritage Hub Italy collection drawing crowds along the route, and the dynamic debut of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa limited series.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 15, 2025 – Peugeot has announced an exclusive collaboration with the 24 Hours of Le Mans to mark 100 years since its first appearance at the legendary race, resulting in a new special edition range set to launch at next year's Le Mans event. The PEUGEOT 24 Hours Le Mans Edition will span five models — the 208, 308, 408, 3008, and 5008 — and draws on a partnership built around shared values: technological innovation, endurance, and French prestige. It's a meaningful milestone for a brand that has won the race three times and still competes there today with the 9X8 Hypercar.
