Weekly Racing Recap: June 6, 2026
Weekly Racing returned to Vado Speedway Park on Saturday, June 6, and the night delivered exactly what weekly racing is built on: family names, points pressure, restart drama, changing track conditions, and one final feature that rewarded patience, persistence, and a long-awaited breakthrough.
After a week away from competition, five divisions rolled back under the lights at the Diamond in the Desert: S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks, Vado Speedway Super Trucks Series, White Sands Federal Credit Union POWRi 305 Winged Sprint Cars, Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars, and Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mods.
By the end of the night, five different winners had written five very different stories: Bryce Archuleta, Luis Esquivel, Wes Wofford, Rob Moseley, and Deuce Teague.
Bryce Archuleta Turns Patience Into a Pure Stock Feature Win
The feature side of the program opened with the S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks, and the division wasted no time turning the night intense.
The feature started with early pressure, a red-flag reset, and the points battle between Kristen Denman and Robert Dominguez right in the middle of the story. Denman came into the night leading the Pure Stock standings by only eight points, which meant every restart and every position mattered from the opening lap.
But the headline belonged to Bryce Archuleta.
Archuleta had already shown maturity beyond his age earlier in the night, winning his heat race with a last-lap setup and pass. In the feature, he had to start deep, work through traffic, survive the restart pressure, and chase down the front of the field.
Once the door opened, Archuleta drove through it.
The 777X found grip, stayed patient, and made the winning move on the way to a standout Pure Stock feature victory. Caleb Smith and Kristen Denman were also part of the late-race podium fight, with Denman continuing to protect valuable points in a division where the margin remains tight.
For Archuleta, it was a full-night statement: heat win, feature win, and one of the sharpest drives of the evening.
Luis Esquivel Wins a Super Truck Feature Built on Pressure
The Vado Speedway Super Trucks Series brought its usual mix of traffic, body language, and restart pressure.
The feature opened with a complete restart, and once the field settled in, multiple trucks had moments near the front. Walton Kyle Jr. showed early strength after winning his heat race. Devan Smith had speed. Christy Barnett worked into the picture. Scott Kinney, who entered the night as the points leader, remained part of the bigger championship story after winning his heat.
But as the race developed, Luis Esquivel put the 7 truck in position to control the closing laps.
Esquivel found the lane he needed, handled the pressure, and brought the truck home for the feature win. Behind him, Walton Kyle Jr. stayed in the fight, while Christy Barnett continued a strong double-duty night.
The Super Trucks gave the crowd what the class usually gives: a little chaos, a little contact, and a winner who had to survive more than just clean laps.
Wes Wofford Makes a Points-Leader Statement in the 305 Winged Sprints
The White Sands Federal Credit Union POWRi 305 Winged Sprint Cars carried one of the biggest points stories of the night.
Coming in, Wes Wofford had the points lead, but Derek DeMartino was close enough to make the night matter. DeMartino won Heat Race One, Robert Herrera won Heat Race Two, and Wofford answered by winning Heat Race Three. That set up a feature where the redraw, traffic, and restart execution all mattered.
Early in the feature, Jaydon Barnes used clean air well and looked strong out front. Wofford stayed close, searched for opportunity, and eventually used traffic and momentum to take control.
Once Wofford got to the lead, the 19 car did what points leaders are supposed to do: finish the job.
Wofford won the feature, adding a major statement to his championship campaign. Daniel Blaeser charged into the runner-up story, and Barnes remained part of the podium picture after a strong drive of his own.
The race had speed, traffic, and controversy after the checkered flag, but the win belonged to Wofford, who turned a pressure night into a points-leader performance.
Rob Moseley Finds the Top and Wins the Stock Car Feature
The Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars brought a different kind of intensity.
Stock Cars do not ask the same questions as sprint cars. They are heavier, wider, more physical, and every lane has to be earned. The feature reflected that from the start.
Craig Walker had early control. Francisco Knight, who came into the night chasing points leader Jonathan Burton, put together a strong run in an older car and spent much of the feature in the heart of the fight. Burton, starting deeper, had to manage traffic and keep the championship picture from getting away.
Then Rob Moseley found the lane that changed the race.
As the track continued to evolve, Moseley put the M46 to work on the top side. Once that line came in, he made it count. He moved into the lead late and held off the pressure to win the Stock Car feature.
Knight finished second and kept pressure on the points chase, while Burton came home third and protected a strong championship night. But the feature win went to Moseley, who read the racetrack at the right time and turned that read into Victory Lane.
Deuce Teague Breaks Through in Wild B-Mod Finale
The night closed with the Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mods, and once again, the division reminded everyone why fans should not leave before the final checkered flag.
The B-Mod feature had an unusual beginning. After a complete restart and early trouble for Mel Romero, the front of the race changed before the feature ever truly settled in. That opened the door for Deuce Teague.
And Teague took it.
The 02 inherited clean air, but nothing about the win came easy. The race was repeatedly slowed by cautions, forcing Teague to restart again and again with some of the toughest names in the division stacked behind him.
Dickie Gorham, Mike Rosales, Donavon Flores, Fito Gallardo, Christy Barnett, Israel Ortega, and others all remained part of the pressure. Every restart gave the field another chance to attack. Every caution erased the breathing room Teague had built.
Still, Teague kept answering.
He chose his lane, fired clean, kept the car underneath him, and refused to give the race away. Late in the feature, Gallardo and Flores kept the pressure alive behind him, while Barnett continued to move through traffic as part of the points story.
But the final word belonged to Teague.
After 52 Vado feature starts in the class and years of chasing the breakthrough, Deuce Teague won the Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mod A Feature. It was not the smoothest road to Victory Lane, but it was one of the most memorable.
Sometimes weekly racing gives you a dominant win. Sometimes it gives you a clean pass. And sometimes it gives you a night where everything gets weird, the restarts stack up, the field keeps coming, and the driver out front has to earn it over and over again.
That was Deuce Teague’s night.

Weekly Racing Keeps Building the Story
Saturday night at Vado was a reminder of what makes weekly racing matter.
A young driver doubled up and made a statement. A truck winner survived a race full of pressure. A sprint car points leader answered the challenge. A Stock Car veteran found the winning lane late. And a B-Mod driver finally broke through after years of work.
That is what weekly racing does best.
It builds stories one heat race, one restart, one feature, and one family moment at a time.
Vado Speedway Park thanks every driver, crew member, official, sponsor, and fan who spent Saturday night at the Diamond in the Desert. The pits, the stands, the families, and the next generation are what keep this place alive.
We’ll see you back under the lights.
