(Eastaboga, AL – February 25, 2026) — The curtain is set to fall on the 2026 Rogers-Dabbs Performance Parts Crate Racin’ USA Winter Shootout Series this weekend as the tour makes its final stop at Cochran Motor Speedway. One final showdown, one final chance at glory, and a boosted $5,000-to-win main event await competitors as the winter mini-series comes to a close in Cochran, Georgia.
Thanks to last-minute support from Mathews Construction Company of Dublin, Georgia, and Woodard Land & Timber Inc. of Dexter, Georgia, the season finale has received a welcome purse increase, adding even more incentive for teams to make the trip south and cap off their Winter Shootout campaigns on a high note. The added backing underscores the strong community support surrounding the finale and the growing momentum behind the series.
