Thunder Road H-D

Tomorrow the green flag drops on the 2026 STAR Super Stock Tour Season at Anderson Motor Speedway, and I’d be lying if I said this one doesn’t mean a lot to me. This offseason I made a decision to double down on the STAR Tour. To dig my feet in deeper than ever and give this thing everything I’ve got. More awards. More opportunities for racers. More effort behind the scenes to make this series something everyone can be proud to be a part of. But I want to make one thing very clear… I couldn’t do this without my team. The people and partners standing beside me have worked their tails off to help make tomorrow happen, and the truth is this tour doesn’t exist without them. I’m incredibly thankful for the group of people helping push this thing forward. It won’t just take them tomorrow at Anderson, it’s going to take them at every STAR Tour event this season. Now I’m gonna be honest with y’all… We are not going to be perfect. We won’t be perfect tomorrow at Anderson. We won’t be perfect at Franklin County. We won’t be perfect at Carteret County. We won’t be perfect at Lonesome Pine. We won’t be perfect at Hickory. But one thing I promise every racer, partner, and fans is We will not stop fighting for the STAR Super Stock Tour. We’ll keep digging, learning, and working to make this thing better every single race. To the drivers and teams traveling from all over to race with us tomorrow, it’s simple THANK YOU. I know the miles, the money, and the effort it takes to unload a racecar, and we truly appreciate every one of you. We’re already looking ahead to Franklin County Speedway where Langley Austin and I are planning a Friday night racer appreciation cookout for everyone practicing before the Saturday race. That’s the kind of atmosphere we want to create with this series, making racers feel welcomed and appreciated, because we all know how much it takes to do this. And for those that know… Mama Judy Carlisle will have the candy bag sitting at registration tomorrow. Because at the end of the day, that’s really what this is. Just a bunch of racers and friends pulling the rope in the same direction. See y’all tomorrow at Anderson 🍻
