Ashton Hannon Gets Career First Win Before Mother Nature Postpones Rest of Program
LANCASTER, N.Y. (August 1, 2026) –Ashton Hannon from Cheektowaga, NY won his first career 4 Cylinder feature at Lancaster Motorplex on Saturday night, before a pop-up shower during the Late Model main event forced speedway management to postpone the rest of the evening, which was to feature the inaugural John Carlson Memorial for the Street Stocks.
Everyone in attendance is asked to keep their wristbands and receipts and follow Lancaster social media for rescheduling dates. Fans in attendance were able to participate in the autograph session. After a long period of track drying, speedway officials determined that the track was unsafe to continue racing.
John Byrd and Andrew Rocque were on the front row for the 4 Cylinder feature on the ¼-mile, with Rocque in the lead with Ashton Hannon taking over second place. Chris Deyoe Jr would take over the lead after going three-wide, with Hannon and Rocque. Hannon would take over the lead on lap seven. Hannon would go on to earn his first career win.
Stock car racing continues at Lancaster Motorplex on Saturday, August 15 for the 37th Tribute to Tommy Druar and Tony Jankowiak 110 for the Race of Champions Modifieds. The Street Stocks and the Mighty TQ Midgets will round out the racing card. Pit gates will open at 2pm, grandstands open at 4pm, racing will begin at 6pm. For those unable to attend, the racing action will be streamed on FloRacing.
