ICU Racing



The GallStar Bracket Races featured the PBM Performance GallStars & Stripes $100,000 Drag Race at Cordova Raceway from July 2-5, 2026. The event included twin $25,000 races on Friday and Sunday, as well as Jr. Dragster Shootouts and the highlight $100K race on Saturday.

Weather issues prevented the completion of Friday’s $25,000 race. Notably, Jill Pfohl won the Friday Jr. Dragster class, defeating Mason Micetich. Saturday showcased the $100,000 main event, where Brent Vincent triumphed over Josh Goike, who turned on a red light in the final round. Matt Cheney was the only semifinalist in the No Box category. In the Jr. Dragster class, Frankie McGlynn secured a win against James Pfohl.

On Sunday, Jerry McGraw emerged victorious in the $25,000 main event against Richard Briscoe, who also turned on a red light in the final. Kabren Jackson won in the No Box category.

Phil Bryant was crowned the Fuel Factory / Autoland Outlets KING OF ILLINOIS Points Champion, leading the standings after two significant weekends of racing. He finished ahead of Shane Pope and Richard Briscoe, all part of a points program that rewarded participants for competing in both the Byron Dragway Firecracker Bracket Nationals and the Cordova event. Random cash bonuses were given to five lucky racers for their engagement in the events. Congratulations to all winners and finalists for their achievements during this thrilling racing weekend.
