Jackson Builds Momentum with Strong June for Scott Hess Racing

Pair of Wingless Sportsman Victories Highlight Resurgent Month

After using the month of May to shake off the rust with a limited and sporadic racing schedule, Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing found their stride throughout June, putting together their strongest stretch of success of the 2026 season.

Jackson’s month was highlighted by a pair of Wingless Sportsman feature victories, scoring impressive wins at both Bedford Speedway and the historic Williams Grove Speedway. The month also concluded on a high note as Jackson powered his way to a runner-up finish in Winged Sportsman competition at BAPS Motor Speedway, further showcasing the team’s growing consistency and speed.

The June results are a testament to the steady progress the team has made after easing back into competition earlier in the season. With more seat time and a more consistent schedule, Jackson has steadily regained the rhythm that has made him one of the area’s most competitive Sportsman drivers.

“I think we’ve raced enough now that we’re getting comfortable and getting back to where we feel fast and good again,” Jackson said. “We’ve really been struggling a bit at BAPS specifically, so to get things going again there with a second-place finish and have a few wins on the books, we feel good about things moving forward.”

The victories at Bedford and Williams Grove not only added to the team’s win column but also reinforced the confidence that has continued to grow within the Scott Hess Racing camp. Whether competing in wingless or winged competition, Jackson has demonstrated the versatility and determination that have become trademarks of the team.

“I think we’ve run eight races total, so to win a few races makes it fun and keeps us looking for more,” Jackson said. “We want to really focus in on BAPS and give ourselves a shot to be competitive come 100-lapper time, while still enjoying some time away as well.”

With June now in the rearview mirror, Scott Hess Racing enters the heart of the summer racing season carrying plenty of momentum and optimism. The team’s July schedule presents another opportunity to build on that success with appearances at a familiar venue before venturing to a new track in search of another milestone victory.

The team is currently scheduled to compete in the following events: (Subject to Change)

• July 11 – BAPS Motor Speedway (Winged Sportsman)
• July 25 – Port Royal Speedway (Wingless Sportsman)
• July 26 – Pagoda Speedway (Wingless Sportsman)

Jackson is especially looking forward to the opportunity to race at Pagoda Speedway for the first time in his career.

“Last year I won at Selinsgrove, so it gave me the distinction of winning a feature at every track I’ve ever raced at,” Jackson said. “Now we’re headed to a new track that we’ve never raced before, so hopefully we can add Pagoda Speedway to that list. I’d love to be talking at the end of July about a few more wins and some more good runs.”

As the team continues to build on its recent success, Scott Hess Racing remains focused on carrying the momentum through the summer months, contending for victories, and continuing the upward trajectory that has made June their strongest month of the season.
