Missouri Native Scores First Win of 2026 in Home Track Comeback
LEBANON, Mo. (May 5, 2026) — Brennon Willard turned back the clock over the weekend, returning to his asphalt roots and driving to victory at Lebanon I-44 Speedway.
“Man, this is awesome,” Willard said. “The track was great, and so was our car. It always feels good to get back to your roots. Huge shoutout to Lucas Handley for coming up and helping us this weekend. Thank you to Tyler Morrison and Chad Barber for all your hard work, and to all of our partners on both asphalt and dirt who support us.”
Back at a track he knows well, Willard set the pace in qualifying and remained a factor throughout the feature. He worked his way back to the front late to secure his first win of the season.
After leading early from the pole, he slipped to third during the middle stages before rallying in the closing laps, reclaiming the lead with five to go and holding on for the victory.
Complete results from Willard’s lone event of the week can be found at www.I44Speedway.com.
Willard has a pair of asphalt events on the horizon, beginning this weekend with a return to Lebanon. He will then shift back to dirt to defend his home turf as the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, for the 34th annual Show-Me 100, presented by Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging.
