August 1, 2026 – Millville, NJ — The New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville hosted an action-packed day of high-speed drama during the New Jersey Lottery SpeedTour with SVRA. The premier road-racing event on the 2.25-mile Thunderbolt Raceway featured intense open-wheel competition highlighted by the FR Americas Championship.
In Race 1, rookie Luke Powers secured his first career single-seater victory driving for Toney Driver Development, while Alejandro “Alex” Bobadilla and Christian Bogle rounded out the podium.
The day was filled with high stakes as the pre-weekend championship points leader, Evagoras Papasavvas, suffered an early mechanical failure in his No. 71 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3, forcing a premature retirement from the round.
Away from the intense championship battles, the weekend also catered to auto enthusiasts of all generations. Attendees packed the venue to enjoy qualifying sessions for the F4 U.S. Championship and the Ligier JS F4 Series, alongside historic and modern wings and prototypes.
