SALISBURY, N.C.  — As Millbridge Speedway opens its doors today for the second straight week of racing action this month, Kyle Beattie Racing and SKE Chassis pass through the gates having celebrated a win and several top finishes last week.  Payton Johnson snagged a victory in the Open class last Wednesday to lead the team's family of drivers, and he had a second in the Winged Micro class as well. 

Here's Payton talking with Tom Baker about his double-podium night...



Jace Pastore (R-Micro) and Trace Latour (Beginner Box Stock) both finished second on Saturday in the first Saturday race of the 2026 season, with Emily Dietrich also placing second in the Intermediate Saturday main. 

Kylea Beattie ran all three nights last week, and she had a strong third-place finish in Jr. Wing on Tuesday night.  She came back on Wednesday and scored a seventh place in SKE Intermediate, and finished her week with her second top five, crossing the line fifth in SKE Intermediate's Saturday race. 

Ethan Halpain finished fourth in SKE Intermediate on Wednesday, with younger brother Coco Halpain equalling that finish in Saturday's Box Stock action.   Ethan came back on Saturday with a sixth-place finish in the Intermediate feature.  

Karter Beattie had a "results don't tell the whole story" night on Wednesday.  The results show him 15th in Winged Micro and 16th in Non-Wing, but he ran strongly in both races. He wraps up his night in this interview with Tom Baker...



Millbridge Speedway returns to action this week with shows tonight and Wednesday, April 15th.  On-track action at 6:15 pm Eastern and full live coverage on DirtVision.com.  Then, on Saturday, April 18th, action continues at the track with a 5:15 starting time, also on DirtVision.com.
