The Wayne Power Drive team traveled to I29 Speedway outside Pacific Junction Iowa on Saturday to compete in the third race of the 2026 season.  A combination of low wind conditions and a 1.4 mile road course had the Blue Devils excited to see the fastest track speeds of the year.  

Coming off of back to back wins, the S95 driven by Abby Allvin settled into the second place position at the start of the race.  With consistent lap times the S95 maintained its position throughout most of the rally similar to the previous races of the year.  Late in the race the S95 began gaining on the leader and was able to take the lead at the 57 minute mark and open a commanding lead.  The S95 finished in first place with 19 laps and a 1 lap lead.

Wayne was the only team that competed in Exhibition class, resulting in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes.  Car E107 driven by Allan Brenner finished in 3rd with 17 laps after suffering an electrical issue.  Car E22 driven by Mason Blickenstaff spent most of the race as the leader but fell late in the race to finish 2nd with 22 laps.  Car E39 driven by Josh Doring tailed the leader waiting until the 53 minute mark to make the pass for the lead.  E39 finished in first place with 23 laps and just 8 seconds behind the track record.  This is the second race win for E39 this year.

"With Wayne being the only E class cars, we were able to experiment with some new ideas.  What we learned today will change our program for years to come."  Coach Mr. Cantrell.

Wayne will Host the 2026 EVERON Power Drive Championships on May 2nd at 1100 east 10th street.  Admission is free, racing starts at 1:00 with preliminary events happening in the morning.
