Travis Bruno (33r) is named the 2026 Airborne Park Speedway champion for the 5th different time. The 2026 racing season came to a close Sunday night at Airborne Park Speedway as all six weekly divisions and the third Enduro of the season took to the track for Championship Sunday. With track titles still up for grabs in several divisions, fans were treated to an exciting night of racing that included dramatic championship battles, feature victories, and even a nearly two-hour rain delay before the final champions of the season were crowned. The night opened with the 40-lap Hartson Total Opening 358 Modified feature, paying $2,500 to the winner. Seventeen cars rolled onto the speedway for the season finale, and it did not take long for a battle to break out at the front between Tim Fuller and Chris Raabe. Raabe would eventually take control of the lead and never look back on his way to his third victory of the season. While Raabe was focused on the race win, the spotlight in the championship battle was on Felix Roy and Mike Mahaney. Entering the night, Mahaney needed only a fourth-place finish or better to secure his second consecutive track championship. Roy would finish third while Mahaney came home fourth, allowing Mahaney to claim the championship by seven points. Raabe's victory also helped solidify a top-five finish in the final season standings. The Rain Pro of Vermont Limited Sportsman Modifieds were next on the track for their 20-lap feature. Eleven cars took the green flag, but after just two laps, the skies opened up and heavy rain forced a delay that would last nearly two hours. Once racing resumed, Josh Patterson led the field back to green, but Bro Roberts and Gary English quickly made their way to the front. Roberts eventually took command and held off English to score his second victory of the season. English's second-place finish was more than enough to secure his first Limited Sportsman track championship. The JS Steel Sportsman Modifieds followed with their 40-lap, $1,500-to-win feature. Travis Bruno entered the evening with a 34-point advantage over Nick Heywood in the championship standings and officially clinched the title during the event, earning his fifth Airborne Park Speedway track championship. On the track, Bruno and Keith Pelkey battled for the early lead before Bruno established control. Behind him, Joey Scarbrough and Michael Wright put on impressive drives through the field after starting 11th and 15th, respectively. Despite the pressure, Bruno stayed strong out front and held on for his first victory of the season, capping off his championship campaign in style. The Renegades were next with a 20-lap feature that featured one of the closest championship battles of the night. Billy Thwaits entered the event with a 16-point lead over Shawn Duquette. Shawn Fountain led the early laps before Duquette charged to the front and took over the top spot. Duquette would go on to score his fifth victory of the season. However, Thwaits held the championship, knowing an eighth-place finish or better would secure the title. Thwaits finished fourth, claiming his first career track championship by six points over Duquette. Twelve Crown Vics then took the green flag for their 20-lap finale. Benjamin Deyo grabbed the early lead after a spirited battle with Scott Richner, but Richie Turner quickly worked his way forward from his sixth-place starting position. Once Turner reached the front, he drove away from the field to capture his seventh victory of the season. The win also secured Turner's first Crown Vic track championship as he finished the year 25 points ahead of the competition. The biggest field of the night belonged to the Mini Stocks, with 26 cars taking part in the 20-lap finale. Cody Young and Haiden Bourdeau battled for the lead during the opening stages before Young began to pull away. Late in the race, Joe Warren had other ideas. Warren charged to the front in the closing laps, taking over the lead and racing on to score his second victory of the season. The championship battle had largely been decided coming into the night as JP Corrow held a commanding 40-point lead over Jake Fountain. Corrow officially secured the title when he signed in for the event and later finished 12th. That result gave him the championship by 24 points over Fountain. The final race of the 2026 season was the third 40-lap Enduro of the year. Twenty-one drivers took part in the season-ending event, and when the checkered flag finally waved on the year, it was Jamie Whitney Jr. standing in Victory Lane after earning the Enduro victory. With the final checkered flag of the season now in the books, attention turns to the annual Night of Champions banquet, scheduled for December 5 at the Rainbow Banquet Hall, where the champions and top performers of the 2026 season will be honored and celebrated.
