Inaugural “Bring On The Thunder” Kicks Off 2026 Season

Duck River Raceway Park officially launched the 2026 season with the inaugural Bring On The Thunder event — and what a night it was.

With 162 cars on property, packed pits, and an electric atmosphere from start to finish, the first race of the year set the tone for what’s to come.

The evening was highlighted by a special presentation to Gene “Thunderman” McGregor, whom the event was created to honor. Gene was presented with a framed event flier and a Duck River derby hat — the same hat awarded to each Victory Lane winner along with their “Bring On The Thunder” check boards.

This marks the beginning of what we look forward to becoming a long-standing tradition at Duck River Raceway Park as we continue honoring Thunderman for years to come.

A huge thank you to our staff, drivers, teams, and fans for making race one smooth, safe, and unforgettable.
