Jason Meyers Racing Star Scores 5th Win in 12 Sprint Car Starts This Year
SARVER, PENN. (July 22, 2026) - Wednesday's Don Martin Memorial came down to the wire at Lernerville Speedway between the current Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing championship leader and a NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts regular for Hendrick Motorsports.
Leading the first 33 laps of the 35-lap main, Rico Abreu looked poised for his second Silver Cup XXXV title before Corey Day stole the lead coming to the white flag. The Jason Meyers Racing #14 held on by two-tenths to score the $25,000 payday over the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing #24.
The moment of the race came on Lap 25 when Aaron Reutzel - Abreu's closest championship contender - had risen to second-place and was tracking him down for the lead before jumping the cushion twice and ultimately stalling the Ridge & Sons Racing #87 against the wall.
Reutzel's misfortune allowed Day the chance to restart on Abreu's tail and stalk him down the final stretch. While Abreu elected to carefully float the middle through traffic, Day was comfortable against the curb and rocketed by once the white flag was in the air.
Wednesday's win marked Day's fifth score in 12 Sprint Car starts this year with Jason Meyers Racing. He also became the first repeat winner at Lernerville Speedway under High Limit sanction. At 20-years-old, the Clovis, California native now sits at 14 career wins with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing - only out-done by Abreu (29) and Kyle Larson (15).
Settling for his third runner-up result in the last week, Rico Abreu was still pleased with championship-extending performance at the Sarver, PA facility. While he hasn't won since Big Sky Speedway in June, the St. Helena, California native has found a rhythm in the Carquest Auto Parts #24 with nine-straight top-six runs to his credit.
Rounding out the podium at Lernerville was Tanner Holmes, who kicked off a big week in Buch Motorsport's home state of Pennsylvania with a third-place finish in the #13.
Closing out the top-five in the Don Martin Memorial was King Anthony XLIII (Macri) in fourth and Justin Peck in fifth aboard the Rudeen Racing #26.
Finishing out the top-10 on Wednesday was Tyler Courtney in the Clauson-Marshall Racing #7BC, Giovanni Scelzi in the Spire Motorsports #77, Kerry Madsen in the Vermeer Motorsports #55, James McFadden in the Tarlton Racing #21, and Tanner Thorson in the Rod Gross Motorsports #88.
