3rd Place!! Check out the comments for Evan!
Sadly this is the final NLSA 2026 points standings.
Congratulations to Dexter Dvergsten on his 2026 NLSA points Championship.
2nd- Luke Hendrickson with 3 wins at Buffalo River Speedway, River Cities Speedway and Greenbush Race Park LLC which was the Olson Memorial race.
3rd- Evan Yanish Racing pulled into 3rd and kept a small gap of 4 points to keep this spot over 4th place. He partnered with Mark Willams this season. Came close to his 1st win a few times.
4th- Arlen Rygg was very consistent in the top 5. He really found some speed in that car this season. He tried all season to pass Evan in the points standings.
5th- Emmitt Isane had a wild second half of the season. Always a front runner, whom had some bad luck the last few weeks with car troubles. He did win 1 race at Greenbush Race Park.
6th- Richard Rygg struggled with car setup this season, but continued to try everything he could. He participated in every race and stayed consistent.He raced his son Arlen mighty hard at times. Lol.
7th- Hayden Koehmstedt Racing started the season out strong. Missed many races due to car troubles, but came back strong at the end of the season and won his 1st career win at River Cities Speedway.
8th- Cody Booen in his rookie year made it into the top 10 in points. He gained a ton of experience and we look forward to seeing what he can do next season.
9th, Hunter Bugge Racing had a year of struggle with his car. When it was good he ran so well. Very talented young man!
10th- Isaac Olson ran half the season and showed some real gains from his dabbling in racing last season. He was in the top 5 many races this season.
Other notes-
Kyle Cole fielded 4 drivers in his car this season. Alan Truscinski with 2 wins. Shane Wahl with a second and Dan Wiskow came out of retirement to race a couple races too. Kyle jumped in the car at the beginning of the season.
Jake Haugeberg raced 2 nights and collected a win.
Thomas Thompson one our rookies came in the second half of the season. He is figuring out his car and we really look forward to seeing what he can do next season. Welcome Thomas!
Brady Heilman had a few strong nights. We sure missed seeing the Heilman's at the track.
Zander Anderson was a top 5 runner most everynight. Glad to see him running more this season.
Vance Bennett made an appearance for 3 races. Glad to see him!
Bryce Haugeberg ran to races. Always nice to have Bryce in a car. He had a very strong year in his 305 sprint with a win in that class.
23 drivers competed in 15 NLSA races this season. We raced at River Cities Speedway, Greenbush Race Park and Buffalo River Speedway.
Thank you everyone who supports the NLSA throughout the season. We especially want to thank the tracks you have us at their tracks.
2026 was great!
