Pierce McCarter of Seymour, Tennessee brought his Beeman Lumber / Tennessee Homemade Wines / HR Concrete Solutions / McCarter Farms #71 to rest in victory lane on night two of the P.J. Wiggins Memorial weekend at Ocala Speedway.

Dixon who started tenth worked his way through traffic aggressively and even with a late race caution couldn't surpass the charging McCarter.
The feature looked to be going another way at the drop of the green as pole sitter Port Royal, Pennsylvania's Lane Snook in the Jerry Foster owned #5 and Paris, Tennessee's Lucas Lee #12 looked to be the class of the field until Snook spun and went pit side while Lee developed a tire issue which gave McCarter the advantage.

February 19th, 2026
After only his second start in a new Street Stock in 2026 Gibsonton, Florida's Seth Geary #7G laid claim to a visit to victory lane on night one of the P.J. Wiggins Memorial weekend at Ocala Speedway.
Geary already a proven veteran in the Open Wheel Modifieds with endless wins and several championships the change has been a slight curve for "Big Red" as he is known.

After the heat win his confidence tended him to believe they had hit the right setup for his driving style and with the help of his crew they had what was needed to compete.
Geary led every lap of the 20 lap event with his only early race nemesis being Ocala, Florida's Jason Gamble #77 until handling issue plagued Gamble relishing him to a eighth place finish.
Grady Christian #36 from Normantown, West Virginia, a one time Altoona, Florida resident would wheel his way from a eighth position starting spot to finish second while Mayo, Florida's Heath Walker #55 would claim third, Ft. White, Florida's Nevin Gainey #17 fourth and Mike Stalnaker #8 from Ocala would round out the top five.
