The Rogers-Dabbs Challenge Series has unveiled its 2026 racing schedule, which features five marquee races at historic short track venues across the Deep South.

The RDCS will differ slightly in just its third season, and will now feature 5 races at 5 tracks, rewarding the overall winner with $5,000. Positions 2 through 5 will be rewarded as well.

The five participating tracks: Five Flags Speedway, Cordele Motor Speedway, Mobile International Speedway, Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, and Montgomery Motor Speedway, each conduct their own Pro Late Model series events, and the RDCS races will be included in their existing schedules to avoid conflicts.

The schedule will begin with the May 15th event at Five Flags Speedway, followed by a race on June 20th at Cordele Motor Speedway. The summer stretch will continue with races at Mobile International Speedway and Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on July 11th and August 8th respectively. It all concludes on September 19th, where the fifth and final event will be held at Montgomery Motor Speedway.

“We’re excited to be a part of this series,” said Stan Narrison, General Manager of Montgomery Motor Speedway. “This gives our racers the opportunity to compete in a traveling series while still running for the championship at Montgomery. We’re very pleased to have the RDCS finale at Montgomery and look forward to working with the other tracks as part of this endeavor.

The 2024 season saw Jasper, Al. native John Bolen take home the Series Championship, with Mobile’s Dustin Smith winning Championship honors in 2025. The Rogers-Dabbs Challenge Series title has yet to leave the state of Alabama, which will make things rather interesting when approaching the series points battle in 2026.

Rogers-Dabbs Chevrolet, Brandon Mississippi, is the largest Power Train Equipment Dealer in the General Motors chain. They are a leader in the short track racing industry, offering a large inventory of GM Crate Engines at the most competitive prices in the market.
