The yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour heads to Berlin Raceway for their first trip to Michigan in 2026! There is no shortage of storylines as the tour enters the Marne, Michigan facility. 

The yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour returns to Berlin Raceway on Friday, August 28. The battle at the 7/16-mile oval is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated races of the 2026 season.

An 18-car field is currently entered for the return to Marne, Michigan, with a mix of championship contenders, established Tour winners and several drivers looking to make their mark at one of the series' most demanding venues.

Kody Swanson had visited victory lane at Salem Speedway five times in USAC Silver Crown competition over the years; and even had a Super Late Model win at the Southern Indiana oval in his career going into Saturday night’s Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial.  However, Saturday night would prove to be his first Sprint Car victory at Salem, but it did not come easy.
