Starks Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday with Skagit Speedway Win

7/4/26

Alger, WA - On the day where the USA celebrated birthday number 250, Trey Starks celebrated his 7th feature win of 2026 at Skagit Speedway by winning the Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Car main event. Austin Kerrigan and Lane Zerbin were also winners on the night, the first Skagit Speedway win for both. 

Starks started in row two and quickly moved into second place while Levi Hillier had the early lead. Starks would shoot past Hillier on lap four to take over the lead and would build a small advantage on Hillier as the pair streaked toward traffic. Starks kept a small lead the whole way, with Levi only 5-6 car lengths back the whole while, but it was enough for Trey to come home with the win. Hillier was second while Jason Solwold took third. Starks and Solwold won the heat races while Justin Youngquist set fast time. 

In the Skagit Casino Resort IMCA Modifieds, Lane Zerbin raced to his first career win. Cory Gordon led the first four laps before Zerbin found a path by him on his way to leading the rest of the feature. Following Zerbin was Rory Smith in second and Ben Gunderson in third. Gordon was a heat race winner on the night along with Rick Smith. 

Austin Kerrigan ventured North to Skagit Speedway and found himself in victory lane with the Hornets. Kerrigan battled past Mike Guffey on lap 12 to take the top spot and the victory, with Guffey running second and point’s leader Steve Peters taking third. Nick Miles was fast time. Heat winners were Peters and William Zottneck.
