Petaluma Speedway 6-13-2026

For Colten Haney, Saturday night's victory was one that will be remembered for years to come. The third-generation racer captured just the second Main Event win of his career, with his first coming two years ago. Adding even more significance to the moment, Colten had to race his way past his own father, reigning Petaluma Speedway champion Jon Haney, to get it done.

The evening started with a strong run in Heat Race #1, where Colten crossed the line third behind Austin Ohlinger and heat race winner Jon Haney.

For the Main Event, Jon Haney sat on the pole position with Austin Ohlinger alongside him on the front row. Colten lined up directly behind his father on the inside of row two, setting the stage for a memorable family battle.

When the green flag dropped, Jon Haney jumped out front and looked poised to add another victory to his impressive resume. Lap after lap, Colten stayed glued to his father's rear bumper, applying constant pressure while searching for a way around. Jon never wavered, hitting his marks and fending off every challenge.

Meanwhile, Austin Ohlinger was also in the mix early, applying pressure for the lead before a pair of on-track mishaps sent him to the rear of the field. Refusing to give up, Ohlinger mounted an impressive charge back through the pack.

As the white flag waved, Jon Haney still held the lead, but Colten finally found the opening he had been looking for. Making his move on the final lap, Colten charged to the front and took the lead just in time to collect the double checkered flags and score an emotional victory.

Jon Haney would settle for second after leading all but the final lap, while Austin Ohlinger's determined comeback drive earned him a well-deserved third-place finish and a spot on the podium.

For Colten Haney, it was a special win over one of the toughest competitors in the field—and one that adds another chapter to the Haney family's racing legacy.
