2026 Flamboro Speedway - Steel City Rumble Series

The Steel City Rumble Series debuted last season and is a five-race championship for Super Stocks at Flamboro Speedway.

A race is scheduled for each month:

Saturday, May 2 - 35-laps
Saturday, June 20 - 35-laps
Saturday, July 11 - 50-laps (with Dayco Super Stock Series)
Saturday, August 15 - Twin 30-laps
Sunday, September 19 - 50-laps

The Super Stock category includes a variety of makes and models from the '60s to the current year. The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies. Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods; however, most use fiberglass body panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engines or crate motors from General Motors and Ford. The division serves as a 'stepping stone' for those drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category.

Tire rules have been implemented to reduce expenses. Teams are limited to an inventory of four used and five new tires during the season. Additionally, all drivers must use American Racer 870 tires. Furthermore, a sixth tire will be added to a team's inventory for the final race if the driver has competed in the previous four Steel City Rumble Series events. Finally, if a driver hasn't competed in the first two races and enters a single event, they must start last.

To attract Super Stock competitors, a purse per race of $4,390 is being offered. Feature races pay from first to fifteenth position. The winner earns $650, second place pays $400, and third is good for $300. The year-end points fund totals $5000, with the champion collecting $2,000. The championship pays through to the sixth spot.

The series offers several bonus awards:

Stewart's is giving $100 to the fastest qualifier at each event.
The London Recreational Racing Hard Charger Bonus awards the driver advancing the most positions during the race with $100. There is also a $500 prize for the Hard Charger Champion, awarded to the competitor who gained the most places in the series.
Collison Motorsports is paying a $100 bonus to the highest finishing registered Steel City Rumble Super Stock driver in all five Dayco events.
Robertson Racing is providing a $100 bonus at each race, selected at random, to a driver finishing in positions sixth to last.
There are also awards for the Best Appearing Car and Rookie of the Year.

The second round of the 2026 Steel City Rumble Series was held at Flamboro Speedway on June 20. Drivers competed in a thirty-five-lap contest around the 0.333-mile semi-banked asphalt oval.

Ten Steel City Rumble Series competitors’ line-up of Flamboro Speedway’s back straight for round two of the championship. On the pole is the No. 73 Alexander Glass & Door Cadillac CTS of Nick Troback. On the outside of Troback is the No. 48 Ryan's Landscaping Chevrolet Camaro driven by Coltin Everingham. In row two are the Chevrolet Camaros of Justin Collison and the points leader, Shawn Chenoweth.

Shawn Chenoweth collected his second 2026 Steel City Rumble Series win in as many events. Just a week earlier, Chenoweth was victorious in race two of the Dayco Super Stock Series. At Flamboro Speedway, he was gridded fourth after the inversion. Early in the event, Chenoweth chased Lane Zardo and Justin Collison. On lap 27, he and Zardo passed Collison. Chenoweth grabbed the win by a margin of 0.391 seconds.

For the second consecutive Steel City Rumble event, Lane Zardo claimed a runner-up result. Like Chenoweth, Zardo competed in last weekend’s Dayco Super Stock race at Peterborough Speedway, where he finished second. He was the fastest qualifier at Flamboro, driving the No. 36Z Bester Forest Products Ford Mustang and after the invert, he started fifth. Zardo chased Shawn Chenoweth to a second-place finish.

The Steel City Rumble Series is the brainchild of Justin Collison. Collison gathered feedback from competitors to create a series that is affordable and rewards racers. In the season opener, he finished third, driving the No. 89C London Recreational Racing Chevrolet Camaro. Collison started the thirty-five-lap contest in the third position. During the race, he passed Nick Troback but lost positions to Shawn Chenoweth and Lane Zardo to finish third.

Joining the series for the first time this season was Chad Corcoran. Corcoran’s best result last year was a third place. During the qualifying session, he recorded the seventh fastest time. Corcoran moved up the race order early. He was in the fifth spot when the caution flew on lap 6. Corcoran chased pole-sitter, Boris Troback, for much of the contest. With five laps remaining, he passed Troback and finished in the fourth position.
