September 22, 2026 — Right Rear Racing TV

Week 7 of the Right Rear Racing TV UMP Modified Series presented by Mike M Designs brought 18 drivers to the virtual Kokomo Speedway Tuesday night, and when the dust finally settled after 50 laps, a familiar name was back on top.

Tylor Clemann captured his third consecutive feature victory, continuing a late-season surge that began at Lernerville and carried through Eldora before reaching Kokomo.

With only one race remaining in the eight-week championship, the stage is now set for Championship Night at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Heat Racing Sets the Stage

The night began with two 10-lap heat races as the 18-car field battled for starting position in the 50-lap main event.

The Horsepower Hydration Heat 1 belonged to Clemann, who continued to show the speed that has made him the driver to beat over the second half of the season.

On the other side of the draw, Dylan Gillispie took the victory in the AI Crew Chief Heat 2, leading a strong group into the feature.

With the heats complete, it was time to settle things over 50 laps around the tight Kokomo bullring. Kokomo’s virtual counterpart is based on the quarter-mile, semi-banked clay oval in Kokomo, Indiana, a track well suited to close dirt-oval racing.

Clemann Survives a Battle at the Front

The Mike M Designs A-Main was anything but a runaway.

Over the course of 50 laps, the race featured six lead changes and three cautions, continually bringing the field back together and keeping the battle at the front alive.

When the checkered flag flew, however, Clemann had once again found his way to Victory Lane.

Clemann held off Ethan Hudson by just 0.691 seconds, with Hudson coming home second after a strong run. Kam Cash completed the podium in third, followed by heat-two winner Dylan Gillispie in fourth and Brad Almond rounding out the top five.

The feature produced an 18.726-second average lap time and carried a 2,573 Strength of Field, giving the 18 drivers in attendance another competitive night of racing.

From Five Different Winners to a Three-Race Streak

One of the biggest stories of the inaugural RRR UMP season has been the variety of drivers finding Victory Lane.

The series opened at Cedar Lake with Brad Almond taking the first victory. Josh Canipe followed at Volusia, Elliott O’Neal won at Lucas Oil, Josh Smith claimed Lanier, and through four weeks the series still had not produced a repeat winner.

Then came Tylor Clemann.

Clemann broke through at Lernerville in Week 5 to become the fifth different winner of the season. He followed it with another victory at Eldora in Week 6, becoming the series’ first repeat winner.

Now, after Kokomo, Clemann has made it three straight victories.

Seven races are complete. Five different drivers have won. And only one night remains.

One More Race: Championship Night

Everything now points toward The Dirt Track at Charlotte on September 29.

The eighth and final round will determine the first-ever Right Rear Racing TV UMP Modified Series Champion.

Brad Almond enters Championship Night in control of the points battle. After winning the season opener and remaining near the front throughout the seven-week campaign, a strong showing at Charlotte could finish the job. Behind him, the rest of the field has one final opportunity to shake up the standings.

Charlotte will also bring something different to close the season: three-wide starts.

After seven weeks of racing at Cedar Lake, Volusia, Lucas Oil, Lanier, Lernerville, Eldora and Kokomo, the entire championship comes down to one final 50-lap battle.

One race.

Three-wide.

And one driver will leave Charlotte as the first Right Rear Racing TV UMP Champion.
