🏁 WE’RE BACK. 🏁

Rice Lake Speedway is back—and so are we.

Opening night of the 2026 season brought the heat: stacked fields, dominant sweeps, hard chargers slicing through the pack, and a few drivers already looking mid-season sharp.

Unfortunately… not us. 😅

We break it all down—the results, the standouts, and the chaos—while Blake fires off confident takes, Ben tries to keep things on track… and occasionally derails it himself.

Then we’re joined by one of the hottest young drivers in the region, Cooper Sundby, fresh off a win at Cedar Lake Speedway and coming off his rookie season in the USRA Late Models.

He talks:
🔥 The jump to USRA Late Models
🔥 What he learned the hard way
🔥 Why nobody’s catching him off guard anymore

It’s opening night energy, questionable professionalism, a few hot takes—and just enough real insight to make it worth your time.
