ATL Driver Spotlights

• Carlile Leads, Battles, and Survives for P3
Starting from pole, Steven Carlile (@carlile) led the field to green and quickly established control. He traded the lead with teammate Tyler Krawczyk early and ran up front for most of the day. After finishing second in Stage 2, Carlile was caught in a wild last-lap melee triggered by contact with #18 Vince Mitchell. Despite the chaos, he slipped through the wreckage to finish P3, leading 22 laps.

“Atlanta was exactly the kind of race that reminds you why we do this. It was wild, it was unpredictable, and somehow we still came out of it with a strong finish. Sitting second in the points this early is something I’m really proud of. I’m thrilled with where we are and even more excited about where we’re headed.”

• Krawczyk’s Debut: Fast and Fearless
Making his season debut, Tyler Krawczyk wasted no time making an impact. After starting 17th, he surged to the front, leading a race-high 84 laps and winning both stages. In the final lap chaos, he tangled with Tyler Belanger while battling for second but recovered to finish P4.

"Car felt amazing early on and got a touch loose later on in the run. The racing was a lot better than I expected. Thankfully I was able to get to together with my teammate early on and I was able to lead a lot of laps and win both of the stages. Finished 4th can’t be mad at that. Overall a really good day in the 48 Chevy!"
===

• Carter's Challenges
Chelsea Carter (@Sxlvce) faced a tough day, being involved in multiple incidents including a three-wide bump from #10 Garth Griswold that triggered a wreck, and a restart violation that put her behind. Despite the setbacks, she kept the car alive and brought it home in P22, completing all 163 laps.

Carter, frustrated with the result, could not be reached for comment.

🏁 EchoPark Speedway Race Recap

EchoPark Speedway delivered one of the wildest finishes of the season so far, and ETHiX Racing came out of the chaos with big results and even bigger momentum.

Steven Carlile started from pole, led early, and stayed up front all afternoon. After getting tagged on the final lap and surviving a five‑wide scramble through a massive wreck, he powered across the line for a strong P3 finish.

Tyler Krawczyk, making his first start of 2026, was the star of the day—84 laps led, both stage wins, and a commanding presence at the front. A late tangle while battling for second dropped him back, but he recovered for P4.

Chelsea Carter fought through multiple incidents, including being forced three‑wide and bumped early in the race. She kept the car alive and brought home a full‑distance P22.

EchoPark Speedway Race Preview | Atlanta

The NSR Owltone Cup Series rolls into EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta for Week 2, bringing another round of tight‑pack, high‑speed racing on the 1.54‑mile, steep‑banked oval. With its superspeedway‑style drafting and multi‑lane momentum racing, Atlanta offers a familiar challenge after last week’s Daytona opener.

ETHiX Racing enters the weekend with confidence. Steven Carlile (@carlile) sits 4th in points after a hard‑earned top‑five at Daytona, while Chelsea Carter (@Sxlvce) showed race‑leading speed before her engine failure. Both drivers proved they can work the draft and control lanes—skills that matter even more at Atlanta.

This week also marks the season debut of Tyler Krawczyk, returning to the lineup after missing the Daytona 500. His superspeedway instincts and calm approach add another strong piece to the team’s drafting strategy.

What to Watch
• Carlile looking to build on his top‑five momentum
• Carter aiming for a clean rebound with proven speed
• Krawczyk integrating into the three‑car draft
• Atlanta’s trademark late‑race chaos and lane changes

The energy is high, the lineup is strong, and the racing will be fast. Atlanta is the perfect place for ETHiX Racing to keep the early‑season push rolling.

ETHiX Racing Opens 2026 Season with Grit and Heart in Daytona 500 Thriller

The 2026 Owltone Designs Cup Series season roared to life at Daytona International Speedway, and ETHiX Racing Team wasted no time proving they came prepared for the fight. In a race defined by high-speed teamwork, dramatic cautions, and late-race chaos, drivers Steven Carlile and Chelsea Carter showcased resilience, speed, and the kind of determination that sets the tone for a promising year ahead.

Strong Starts and Early Momentum
Last week’s Duels set the stage for a competitive day, with Carter rolling off from 6th and Carlile from 13th. Both drivers quickly settled into the draft, navigating the cool, breezy Daytona conditions with confidence.

The first caution at Lap 16 brought early adversity when Carlile was swept into a multi-car spin involving the #4, #7, and #67. Despite the setback, he rebounded to finish 4th in Stage 1, while Carter secured 13th.

Stage 2 saw both ETHiX machines shine. Carter surged forward to claim 3rd, and Carlile followed closely in 5th, setting up a powerful run into the final segment.

It's RACEDAY.

Welcome to the first full-length points paying race of the 2026 NSR Owltone Designs Cup Series season, the Daytona 500. Spanning 200 laps with stage breaks at Lap 65 and Lap 130, this event marks Round 1 of the championship campaign and sets the tone for everything that follows.

Superspeedway racing demands precision, patience, and calculated aggression. Drivers must navigate tightly packed draft lines at nearly full throttle, where momentum shifts in seconds and positioning is everything. Clean pushes, disciplined lane control, and smart risk management will determine who survives to contend in the closing laps.

Over the course of 500 miles, strategy becomes just as critical as speed. Pit timing, drafting partners, and avoiding “the big one” are all part of the equation. As the field narrows in the final run to the checkered flag, bold moves and perfectly timed runs will decide who captures the sport’s biggest prize.

The Daytona 500 is more than just the opener—it is the statement race of the year. Win here, and you don’t just score points… you etch your name into the spotlight to begin the season.
