The only Wisconsin-based organization in Extravaganza! Their second year as a two-car organization was a minor success, finishing both cars inside the top-20 in points with nearly 700 laps led. Despite the accolades, their target of a Chase birth and a Jeremy Hebel victory was not to be, with the #77 team losing speed on the Speedway's. In fact, Dakota's only victory was at Bristol, worked on by teammate and former crew chief Jeremy Hebel himself! If Dakota can rebound to his 2024 form, the entire field will run for cover. Don't be shocked if Blazin' Pedals Racing knocks out the old-guard in 2026.

Wizards of Speed looked smooth in 2025! Four victories was as unprecedented as John Tyler's inauguration in 1841, pulling off three-straight wins at Darlington, Bristol and Talladega during the Spring. "We can win anywhere!" said team owner Shyrone Parkman, interviewed behind his Willis Pond mansion in Sudbury, Massachusetts. "We can also crash anywhere, and blow all eight cylinders at every facility. We have some work to do." Molemar Diggs' victory at Pocono proved that their early-season success was no fluke. Expect more consistency in 2026, with Chauncey Redmond Jr. eclipsing the top-25 in points.

Bink Lucas does it again! His fifth-straight season with exactly one victory, pulling off the feat at Nashville in June. The #5 Lifesavers Mustang ended the 2025 campaign a career-best 16th in the standings, finishing with four-straight top-13's while looking faster than the Championship contenders at Homestead. Conversely, his teammate Jimmie Stevens struggled mightily, enduring a career-worst 35th, and nearly having to qualify on speed for the Daytona 500. He beat out Rob Scarberry for the final spot by 110-points, with his New Orleans Saints "AMPIO" sponsorship on the line in 2026.

Rumors of Geer-5 Racing leasing CFM Motorsports engines for 2026 were denied by owner Glenn Kaufmann, adding a new wing to their current New Jersey warehouse. Their motor program was sub-par at best, with Donald Stewart and Ben Geer combining for 76 laps led. Luckily, Stewart jumped from 32nd to 19th in points in 2025 despite the handicap, recording five top-10 finishes in the final ten events. The #29 Twinkie Chevrolet consistently struggled throughout the year, signing former Bonanza Champion crew chief Mike Madde to help turn the tide. A top-25 finish for both cars is the goal.

Delta Sim Racing prepares for their fourth Extravaganza Series campaign, capitalizing big time by making every race in 2025! Ziggy Moonglow's huge victory in the Coca-Cola 600 sent shockwaves across the country, proving that he's finally recovered from his morbid Sonoma crash in 2023. Teammate Trae Larkin finished top-25 in points for the first time in team history, finishing races like John Battista finishes his plate. Both teams are locked into the Daytona 500, finally able to prepare for race-trim on a weekly basis. If they can stay inside the top-35 through Martinsville, this team could be the biggest sleeper for 2026.

William Perry expands his West Virginia operation! The Scott Jackson farewell tour will ride with Mudhole Motorsports, staying with the organization after moderate success down the stretch. Jackson replaced Perry after his morbid accident at Chicagoland, jumping from a desolate 39th in points with W.A.S.P. Motorsports up to 30th, enjoying three top-5 finishes while bringing vitality to the second oldest driver in the Series. He will go back to his usual #38 ATEUP livery. William Perry is still in pain from his Chicagoland crash, and will jump in a car for the first time this weekend. His victory at Kansas was a boon for the psyche of this team, hoping for more success from both drivers in 2026.
