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
Saturday, 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 fourth weekend of the 2026 Steel City Rumble Series was held at Flamboro Speedway on August 15. This was a doubleheader event with drivers competing in two thirty-lap contests around the 0.333-mile semi-banked asphalt oval.

The start of the first thirty-lap feature and eight Steel City Rumble competitors charge into Flamboro’s first turn. The starting grid was set by a ‘pill draw.’ As luck would have it, the pole went to title contender Lane Zardo, driving the No. 36Z Bester Forest Products Ford Mustang. Beside Zardo is the No. 73 Alexander Glass & Door Cadillac CTS of Nick Troback. Behind the leaders is Shawn Chenoweth in the No. 89C LLR Chevrolet Camaro.

Lane Zardo is chasing Super Stock championships in the Steel City Rumble and Dayco series. The driver of the No. 36Z Bester Forest Products Ford Mustang entered the fourth weekend at Flamboro with one win. He started on the pole for the first feature and led flag-to-flag for a 0.848-second margin of victory. After the invert for the second contest, Zardo lined up sixth. He slotted in behind his rival Shawn Chenoweth and finished third.

Justin Collison saw a need to encourage and support Super Stock competitors in Ontario and, with the help of others, created the Steel City Rumble Series. Collison drives the No. 13C London Recreational Racing Chevrolet Camaro. In the first race of the doubleheader event, he was gridded sixth and passed Nick Troback for a fifth-place result. Collison started the feature on the outside of the front row and led all thirty laps for his first series victory.

The grid for the second Steel City Rumble feature was set using a full invert of the drivers that finished on the lead lap in race one. On the front row for a second time this evening was Nick Troback driving the No. 73 Alexander Glass & Door Cadillac CTS. In the second position is the No. 13C London Recreational Racing Chevrolet Camaro of Justin Collison. Behind the leaders are the Camaros of Cole Burrows and Colton Everingham.

Entering the doubleheader event, Shawn Chenoweth led the Steel City Rumble points chase with two victories. The No. 89C London Recreational Chevrolet Camaro, driven by Chenoweth, began race one in the fourth spot. He passed Colton Everingham and Nick Troback to finish second. In the final event, Chenoweth started fifth. During the contest, he came under pressure from his main opponent, Lane Zardo, but held on to the runner-up spot.

Perhaps the busiest Super Stock competitor in Ontario is Colton Everingham. Not only does Everingham participate in the Steel City Rumble and Dayco series, but he is also a regular in the Peterborough Speedway Super Stock division. He was gridded third in feature one and passed Nick Troback and Coles Burrows but could not match Shawn Chenoweth’s pace and finished third. In race two, Everingham started and finished in fourth.

The winner of the second thirty-lap Steel City Rumble feature on August 15, Justin Collison, stands in front of the No. 13C London Recreation Racing Chevrolet Camaro. Collison is the hard-working creator and organizer of the series. Since forming the Steel City Rumble championship, he has had many exciting moments, including hitting a flat-bed tow truck and climbing the back straight wall, but his best was his first win on Saturday evening.
