The Tekton 250 Battle at Berlin Raceway is set to light up Marne, Michigan, this summer as the second of two marquee Super Late Model events that draw the sport’s biggest names.
The race brings together a mix of NASCAR Cup Series regulars, Craftsman Truck Series veterans and a growing roster of online personalities, creating a unique blend of tradition and digital hype.
Star‑Studded Lineup
Drivers such as Carson Hocevar, the 2024 winner who has become known for his polarizing style at the track, and Ty Majeski, who captured the Money in the Bank 150 last year, are expected to be among the front‑runners.
Austin Hull, who previously took victory in the Tekton 250, returns to defend his title, while a host of other competitors — including Bubba Pollard, Tyler Lupton, Tristan McKee and the full field of Chris Shannon, Daniel Webster and Andrew Morrissey — add depth to the grid.
Perhaps the most talked‑about addition is YouTube sensation Cleetus McFarland, who will make his Super Late Model debut in the Tekton 250. His massive online following has already generated buzz, and his participation is seen as a gateway for new fans to experience the discipline of short‑track racing.
The competition is further enriched by the presence of other notable entrants such as Chase Pinsonneault, Gabe Sommers, Chase Burda, Keith Herp, Evan Shotko, Kyle Steckly, Terry Senneker, Dylan Stovall, Scott Thomas, Treyten Lapcevich, Chris Shannon, Daniel Webster, Andrew Morrissey, Buddy Head, Brian Campbell, Seth Moody, Boris Jurkovic, Justin Thomas, Kole Raz and Andrew Scheid, each bringing their own recent successes and fan bases.
Beyond the driver roster, the event promises a $40,000 prize purse for the winner, underscoring its importance within the summer double‑header format at Berlin Raceway. Fans can expect high‑octane on‑track battles, pit‑lane strategy debates and a celebration of the sport’s evolving landscape.
With the race scheduled for August 12, 2026, the Tekton 250 Battle at Berlin is poised to be a defining moment for both seasoned racers and emerging digital influencers, setting the stage for an unforgettable summer of Super Late Model action.
