Mission CTR
Showcase
Takes On
Budds Creek
P
otomac Speedway, located
on the same grounds as the
famed Budds Creek Motocross
Park, welcomed the first of two
Mission Foods/Cory Texter Pro
-
motions Showcase events in the
Northeastern United States in
2026. Continued dominance at
the youth level and a collection
of first-time Showcase winners
highlighted the day's racing.
For the first time in 2026, the
450 Amateur, Open Amateur and
Road to AFT classes did not see
a rider collect multiple victories.
In 450 Amateur action, Wyland
Seger piloted his Yamaha to a
maiden Showcase victory, fend
-
ing off pressure from Canadian
racer Mateo Racine. Adam "Bud-
man" Costan-Wood turned Budds
Creek into Budman's Creek with a
late-race pass on Brody Hanson,
bringing his Turner Racing Honda
home first in Open Amateur ac-
tion. Closing out the day, Racine
got the holeshot in the Road to
AFT main event ahead of Dil-
lon Durelle and Costan-Wood.
Racine was unable to break away
from his challengers, but he
never gave them an opening to
make a pass, becoming the first
Canadian to score a Showcase
victory in 2026. While the main
events may not have gone Bayne
Nantz's way, the Colorado rider
piloted his KTM to victory in the
day's Mission Challenge Dash for
Cash.
Cruise Texter ordered up a
three-piece combo with a side
of cash, once again winning
the 50cc Chain, 65cc and Mini
Open main events. Texter added
another G&G Racing 65cc Dash
victory to his resume. After
missing the California Showcase
events, Jayden Nickens returned
to the top of the 85cc class and
the Youth Premier class. Nick
-
ens remained perfect in Show-
case competition in 2026 and
also found success in the G&G
Racing 85cc Dash at Potomac.
Hayden Hathaway joined Nick-
ens and Texter as a multi-race
winner by sweeping the Vintage
Light and Vintage Open main
events.
Jada Parker continued her
winning ways in the Women's
class, securing a third victory in
the last four Showcase events.
Another Parker nearly grabbed a
late-race victory in Open Novice
competition, but JJ Parker fell
just 0.111 of a second behind
WIND
IN THE
P32
Wyland Seger (11)
leads the pack aboard
his Yamaha. Seger
won the day's 450cc
Amateur main.
