CENTER LISLE, N.Y. — Cody Higbie hammered the high side to earn his first Dirt Track Digest TV Modified win of the 2026 season.
Jared Green was back in victory lane in the DIRTcar Sportsman, while Michael Roach dominated the IMCA Modified feature.
Jerry Lobdell Jr. made a late charge to win the Factory Stock feature. Ivan Forney used a lap 13 pass to pick up the 600 Sprint feature, and Tyler Talada dominated the 600cc Modified main event for the victory.
Rich Talada got the jump early in the Dirt Track Digest TV Modified feature from his pole starting position. Talada led the first four laps before a hard-charging Higbie took the lead on lap five, working his No. 97 around the extreme outside of the raceway.
While others tried to use the bottom, Higbie was busy working the wall through the corners to extend his advantage over the field. Tommy Collins also utilized the outside lane to move into the runner-up position on lap 13.
On lap 20, the only caution of the race gave everyone an opportunity to challenge Higbie for the top spot. When the race resumed, Higbie was not going to be denied on the outside. He went right back to the highest groove on the racetrack to keep his No. 97 out front.
While Higbie and Collins showed the way, Alan Barker charged forward from eighth to take over third on lap 27.
At the checkered flag, it was Higbie getting the job done with Collins finishing second. Barker came home third, with early leader Talada finishing fourth. Jimmy Zacharias drove forward from ninth to complete the top five.
