Tyler Kent Earns United Sprint League Rookie of the Year Honors

Tyler Kent finished the season with a big accomplishment, earning United Sprint League Rookie of the Year honors. Throughout the year, he continued to learn, improve his race craft, and gain experience competing in non-wing sprint car racing.

Looking back on the season, Kent said he enjoyed racing and knew there would be plenty to learn along the way. He had his ups and downs, but overall, he feels the season helped him grow as a driver.

Earning Rookie of the Year is especially meaningful to Kent because it is an award a driver only gets one chance to win. Being able to compete against drivers with years of experience made the accomplishment even more special. “I feel like being Rookie of the Year is a big honor because you only really get one chance at it,” Kent said.

One of the biggest things Kent learned this season was how important it is to focus on his own race. Advice from his dad, Tim, stuck with him from the beginning of the year. “You can’t chase points.” Instead of worrying about the standings or trying to force a result, Kent learned to focus on driving his own race, a lesson he plans to take with him into next season.

When it comes to non-wing sprint car racing, Kent knows what he likes best. In his opinion, there is nothing better than non-wing dirt track racing, and he hopes to keep competing in the sport for years to come.

During the USL season, Kent recorded a 10th place finish at Enid Speedway, 13th at Caney Valley Speedway, 8th at Beaver County Raceway, 14th at Lawton Speedway, 18th at Creek County Speedway, and 11th at Lawton Speedway.

Kent also gave credit to the people who helped make his racing season possible. He thanked his dad, Tim, and stepmom, Kendra, for giving him the opportunity to race as often as he could throughout the season. He also gave a special thanks to his grandpa, Bill, for towing the car to the track and being his crew chief in the pits.

He also thanked his sponsors, Oklahoma Chiller, Rose Motorsports, and Hoss Media, for their support throughout the season.

With a Rookie of the Year award to show for his efforts, Kent has plenty to be proud of after this season. Although his plans for next year are still up in the air, he hopes to be back at the track competing in the USL and continuing to improve.

This is a huge accomplishment, and he has plenty of reasons to be proud of what he achieved this season. Here's to more laps, more learning, and more success ahead!

Congratulations to Tyler Kent on earning United Sprint League Rookie of the Year!

Brett Wilson: 2026 United Sprint League Champion

Brett Wilson is your 2026 United Sprint League Champion! It was a season that came with its fair share of challenges, especially with rainouts causing long breaks between races.

For drivers, sitting out a month or longer and then trying to get back up to speed isn't easy, but Wilson managed to put together a consistent season and come away with the championship. “This season started off slow with the rained out events. It’s quite hard to wait a month or longer and get back into the car and be fast out of the gate. But overall, the season went well. Consistency is key!” Wilson said. With two wins, a second place finish, a third, a fourth, and a seventh in USL competition, Wilson stayed consistent and earned himself the championship.

Wilson first got into sprint car racing in 2015 after David Stephenson, who was building engines for him at the time, kept trying to convince him to make the switch. By the end of that season, Wilson had bought a race ready car from David and started his first full season with OCRS. David continued to help him along the way, whether it was with tires or engine information, even after Wilson could no longer afford his services. That connection would later play a big part in Wilson's love for non wing racing.

Around 2016, David and Danny Smith started a non wing race at Creek County Speedway. It started out pretty simple, with each driver putting $20 into a hat for a winner take all race. Over the years, the event grew into what is now known as the IRONMAN. Wilson spent several years trying to get a strong finish at the event, and after missing the memorial race for David the year before, he came into this season ready to give it everything he had. “I was hungry. I wanted to show David what he created, so at this year’s memorial race I didn’t hold anything back. Just 40 laps as hard as I could. If I wrecked, so be it. I was going to leave everything on the table.”

For Wilson, that race was about more than just getting a good finish. It was a chance to honor David and be part of something that had become such a big part of his racing career.

When asked what he enjoys most about non wing racing, Wilson pointed to how competitive the sport can be. He calls it “the great equalizer” because teams with expensive equipment and teams working with a smaller budget can both have a chance to win. You never know how things will play out once the green flag drops, and that's part of what keeps him coming back. Wilson plans to continue running non wing in 2027 and isn't looking to change things up anytime soon.

Wilson also shared his thoughts on the United Sprint League after its first season under new ownership. Although the weather made it difficult to get races in consistently, he appreciates the time and money that went into putting this season together and giving drivers another place to race. “I believe they did the best they could with their first year. Rain held us back quite a bit. I know they are throwing a huge amount of money into the series, and it’s greatly appreciated!”

Looking ahead to next season, Wilson plans to keep doing what he knows best. “My plans for 2027 is to come back running non wing! Doing what I do best!” he said.

Wilson also wanted to thank his sponsors, Stellar Garage Door, A&N Trailer Parts, Full Tilt Wraps, and Raindrop, for their support throughout the season. Having people behind him who help make racing possible means a lot, and he appreciates everything they do.

After a season full of rainouts and long stretches away from the track, Brett Wilson came out on top as the 2026 United Sprint League Champion. From getting his start in sprint cars back in 2015 to finding his place in non wing racing, Wilson has put in the time and effort to get where he is today.

Congratulations to Brett Wilson on a well earned championship!

United Sprint League Driver of the Week: Cameron Hagin

For this week’s United Sprint League Driver of the Week, we’re featuring Cameron Hagin of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. At 32 years old, Hagin has spent most of his life around racing, building a career that has taken him from micro sprints to midgets and sprint cars, earning championships and gaining experience across multiple divisions along the way.

Hagin’s racing journey began with his dad, who introduced him to the sport by taking him to the races. Before long, that time spent at the track turned into an opportunity of his own when his family got him a race car. He started racing at just eight years old, beginning a journey that would take him through several different levels of the sport. When asked about his favorite driver growing up, Hagin named Andy Hillenburg as the driver who made an impression on him.

Hagin raced micro sprints until he was 15 before moving into midgets and sprint cars. Along the way, he competed in a full season of the Sooner series before running a full season in the POWRi midget series. His racing experience also extended beyond the driver's seat, as he went on to work for Tanner Berryhill in NASCAR before eventually moving back home. After returning home, Hagin got involved with OCRS before making his way into non wing sprint car racing.

Cameron has also made his mark in the United Sprint League, capturing the series championship in 2022. After that championship season, he semi retired from racing, making a return for a handful of races in 2023 and 2024 before coming back full time in 2025. His return to full time competition showed that, even after stepping away for a while, the desire to race was still there.

The 2026 season hasn't been without its challenges. Hagin suffered a major setback earlier this year in a bad wreck at Beaver, putting a damper on his season. He’s ready to get back after it, with a new car now ready to go and the next chapter of his racing career waiting to unfold.

One of Hagin’s most memorable racing accomplishments came in 2009, when he won the Outlaw Championship at just 14 years old. While he admits he doesn't have one particular moment that stands above the rest, winning a championship at that age is certainly an accomplishment worth remembering.

At this stage in his career, Hagin says his focus has shifted away from setting big goals and toward enjoying his time at the track. “I don’t have any goals anymore, too old. Just to go have fun now,” Hagin said. After spending so many years involved in different forms of racing, his outlook is simple. He shows up, enjoys the competition, and makes the most of every opportunity to race.

As for the remainder of 2026, Hagin plans to take things one race at a time, with the Chili Bowl Nationals also on his radar. Beyond that, he’s leaving his schedule open and seeing where racing takes him.

When asked about his thoughts on non wing racing, Hagin didn't hesitate to share his enthusiasm. “It’s a blast, lol. It’s more driver skill than setup.” That combination of car control, adaptability, and driver ability is part of what makes non wing racing so exciting, and it's a style of racing Hagin clearly enjoys.

From getting his start in a micro sprint at eight years old to winning a championship as a teenager, becoming the 2022 United Sprint League champion, and working his way through multiple divisions, Cameron Hagin has experienced many different sides of the racing world.

Congratulations to Cameron Hagin, this week’s United Sprint League Driver of the Week!

United Sprint League Driver of the Week: Steven Shebester

This week, the United Sprint League is proud to spotlight 34 year old Steven Shebester of Tuttle, Oklahoma, as the United Sprint League Driver of the Week.

For Shebester, racing has been a part of his life since childhood, with a family background that helped spark his passion for the sport.

Shebester grew up watching his dad and uncles race at the fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. With many of their friends also involved in racing, trips to the track were always a big part of his childhood. The excitement of watching his family compete eventually led Shebester to decide that he wanted to experience racing for himself.

At just 8 years old, Shebester began his racing career in a micro. He worked his way through the ranks before moving into midgets and sprint cars around 2014, continuing to race and build his career ever since. Over the years, he has experienced plenty of memorable moments behind the wheel, including winning his first championship in restricted micros, competing in the 2014 Tulsa Shootout, earning his first sprint car win and picking up his first victory at Devil’s Bowl.

Other career highlights include earning his first $10,000 payday at the Ironman and collecting a couple of Winter Nationals wins. While there have been many memorable nights throughout his career, each of those accomplishments holds a special place for Shebester.

Away from the racetrack, Steven’s wife, Gina, and their two boys, Sage and Skylar, mean everything to him. His family has become a huge part of his racing journey, and being able to share the sport he loves with them makes every trip to the track even more special.

One memory that stands out is Skylar’s very first night at the racetrack this year. Steven was able to make it an unforgettable introduction to the sport by picking up a win. Having Gina, Sage and Skylar there to experience the victories, the challenges and everything that comes with racing makes them an important part of Steven’s journey both on and off the track.

As a young racer, Shebester looked up to two of sprint car racing’s biggest names, Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell. Their success and influence were part of what made the sport special to him as he grew up and developed his own racing career.

When asked about his goals for his racing career, Shebester kept his answer simple. His goal is “just to be rememberable.” For a driver who has spent nearly his entire life around racing, leaving behind good memories and making an impact on the sport is what matters most.

Looking toward the remainder of the 2026 season, Shebester plans to finish out the remaining ASCS Sooner Region shows and hopes to get a midget race in as well. He will continue to chase more laps, more wins and more memories as the season moves forward.

Shebester also has a strong appreciation for non wing racing and what it demands from a driver. He enjoys “the freeness of power without the wing, the front wheel dancing, and the finesse of the throttle.” He believes non wing racing is also an excellent way for drivers to develop their skills, saying it is “always a good place for drivers to learn more without being pinned to the ground.”

From watching his family race at the Oklahoma City fairgrounds as a kid to starting his own racing career at 8 years old and eventually moving through micros, midgets and sprint cars, Steven Shebester has built a career rooted in a lifelong love for racing.

The United Sprint League is proud to recognize Steven Shebester as this week’s United Sprint League Driver of the Week.

USL Driver of the Week: Tyler Sampson

At just 27 years old, Torrance, California’s Tyler Sampson carries a deep rooted passion for racing that goes back to his childhood. Growing up at the racetrack, Sampson was surrounded by race cars, drivers and the people who made the sport what it is. Some of his earliest memories came from watching his father work on and repair race cars, experiences that helped shape his love for racing.

Those childhood experiences eventually turned into a love for getting behind the wheel himself. Sampson grew up around some of the best non wing 410 racing in California, following series such as SCRA, CRA and the Valvoline Sprint Car Series. Much of his own racing experience came at his hometown track, Perris Auto Speedway, a place he holds especially close to his heart.

When asked about his favorite driver, Sampson couldn’t narrow it down to just one. His list includes his father, along with several of the childhood heroes he grew up watching. Super Rickey Gaunt, Mike Kirby, Rip Williams, “Gas Man” Richard Griffin and Kory Kruseman. For Sampson, however, one of his most memorable racing experiences involved a very special car and an even more special connection to his father.

One of his standout memories came behind the wheel of his dad’s 1984 Nance, known as “Black Betty,” which was the last car his father raced in 1994. Sampson drove the car at Belleville while his dad was there driving his uncle’s car. “Belleville has a special place in my heart,” Sampson said. “It was my first time in the big car on a half mile, and I fell in love with big tracks.”

The experience left Sampson with a feeling and excitement that he says he will always cherish.
Looking ahead, Sampson’s ultimate racing goal is to compete in 410 sprint car racing. For now, he is focused on gaining as much seat time and as many laps as possible, with hopes of competing in 410 shows and continuing to improve.

For the remainder of 2026, Sampson has plenty on his plate away from the sprint car. He plans to spend time racing go karts, doing some catfishing, working on his truck project and making the trip to the Chili Bowl.

While his plans include several different activities, racing remains at the center of Sampson’s life. Few things capture his passion more than non wing sprint car racing, a discipline he has been around since childhood. “Non wing is hands down the greatest sport of all time,” Sampson said. “There’s no other type of racing where you have to drive and control a car that is out of control for 30 to 40 laps at a time.”

That passion comes from years of watching his father and his childhood heroes compete, but it also comes from what happens when the racing gets intense. “I love when the race is getting exciting, when the drivers start to do a dogfight on the track, slide jobs and pushing their cars faster and faster to beat the other guy.”

For Tyler Sampson, racing is more than simply turning laps. It is a connection to his family, his childhood, the tracks he grew up around and the drivers who inspired him. With his sights set on more seat time, traveling to new tracks and eventually competing regularly in 410 sprint cars, Sampson is continuing to build his own story in the sport he has loved since he was a kid.

Congratulations Tyler Sampson on being named The United Sprint League driver of the week!
