SEEKONK, Mass. — Mother Nature may have delayed the start of Fast Friday, but once the green flag finally waved, the action came fast and furious at Seekonk Speedway. From first-time winners to drivers extending incredible winning streaks, the second half of the 2026 Fast Friday season continues to deliver unforgettable moments as championship battles begin to heat up.

Budzyna Breaks Through in Sport 4 Triple Crown

Jacob Budzyna put together one of his strongest performances of the season, leading from the opening corner to score his first Everett's Auto Parts Triple Crown Sport 4 victory of 2026.

Starting alongside rookie Anthony Mancini on the front row, Budzyna wasted little time taking command in Turn 1. Once out front, the driver of the No. 01 planted his machine on the bottom groove and never gave his competitors an opportunity to challenge.

Samantha Sleboda charged through the field to finish second after spending much of the race searching for an opening, while multiple-time winner Arthur Meack also mounted several challenges. Budzyna's impressive drive earned him his second career Sport 4 victory and secured his place in the Triple Crown finale later this season.

Winning one race is difficult.

Winning five consecutive races is something special.

Luka Dib continued his remarkable run in the Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Outlaws, charging from sixth to the lead on the opening lap before dominating all 15 circuits for his fifth straight victory.

An early incident involving Zacarias Kelley and Brady Connors brought early excitement, but once the race settled down, Dib simply drove away from the competition.

Kelley recovered from the early contact to finish second, while CJ Satterlund earned one of the best finishes of his young Outlaw career with a third-place run.

Each restart and every corner brought another challenge, but Wilkinson never faltered, earning the first Seekonk Speedway victory of his Legends Cars career.

Wakefield finished second ahead of Burns, while Tessier and Isaiah Newcomb both rebounded from early pit stops to complete the top five.
