Shenandoah Speedway Welcomes SCSCS Once Again for Championship Night

Statesville, North Carolina (October 7, 2026) – A whole lot of buzz has been building during the past few months since the Super Cup Stock Car Series last competed.  All of it culminates with Valley to Victory Championship Night at Shenandoah Speedway.  It will mark the third time in the last four years that the surrounding mountain scenery has hosted the season finale for drivers and teams.

Entering the twin 50-lap main events, Chrissy Wallace holds a 150-point advantage over Damian Payton, originally from Summit Point, West Virginia, and Renick, West Virginia’s Harvey Harrison only 50 more back.  The Concord, North Carolina third-generation driver only needs a solid finish or two replicating her results all year long to come away with the 2026 title.

During the April opener at Shenandoah, Payton claimed his second consecutive victory at the 3/8-mile progressively banked oval in which he began racing Legends cars as a teenager.  Wallace started off the year with what was her worst result to date of fourth but followed it up with a win in the second race at a track she had never competed before that day.  Wallace has won the last four races that were held at home state tracks Carteret County and Orange County during the month of June, while Payton has been ultra consistent with an average finish of 2.6 this year.

Two-time champion Harrison is looking for his first victory of 2026; however, he might be the most excited for what has been a long-awaited first for the series.  Both his son Brian Harrison and grandson Logan Harrison will be racing, the first time in history three generation will be on track at the same time.  It will be Logan’s debut after multiple test sessions at tracks in both Virginia and West Virginia.

Altogether, there could be up to seven states represented in the field on Saturday, October 10th.  The aforementioned state of West Virginia will have 2024 champion and five-time Shenandoah winner Brent Nelson as well as Larry Frame, a former regular in the track’s Mini Mod division, represented.  Virginia itself will have 2014 champion JJ Pack making his first appearance of the year.

A couple more drivers making their 2026 debut come from the Keystone State.  Littlestown, Pennsylvania’s Jason Schue and Warrington’s Mike Senica both finished top five in points during the 2024 season and each have their best career finish of third coming previously at Shenandoah.  Richard Hauck from Howell, Michigan plans to make his first start since 2023, which concluded with an eighth-place finish at the same facility.

Then there is Owensboro, Kentucky; a town and state that has brought multiple stock car racing stars to the top of the sport.  One of them currently intends to be at Shenandoah, his first time racing there.  Five-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Jeremy Mayfield is scheduled to run as a teammate to Wallace.  His previous SCSCS results include a pair of runner-up performances and a Pole Award at Carteret County.

Pit gates open at 10:00 a.m. with the first of two practice sessions for the SCSCS Gen-4 style machines taking place at approximately 12:15 p.m.  Qualifying gets underway around 3:15 p.m.

Spectators are encouraged to arrive early as there will be a fan pit party on the frontstretch from 5:00 until 5:45 with races beginning at 6:00.  General admission on Saturday is only $10 at the gate.  The evening will feature a packed program that also includes Legends cars, Bandoleros, Crown Vics, Stock 4s, and the Virginia Sprint Cars.

As announced previously, for those unable to make it to the track on Saturday, VidaneTV will be broadcasting all the action live and free of charge to watch at https://www.youtube.com/vidanetv/live and https://vidane.tv/live.  Following the final checkered flag, the annual post-season trophy and awards presentation will occur.

There will be an optional practice offered from Noon until 5:00 p.m. on Friday with cost being $50 per car.
