Putnam County Bank Twin 40s Will Feature Multiple Generations, Home State Drivers, and New Visitors to Ona Speedway
5 min read
Statesville, North Carolina (September 10, 2026) – After recent postponements and cancellations, Super Cup Stock Car Series competitors are more than itching for a return to the racing surface. West Virginia’s only asphalt short track seems like an optimal location for that to occur this weekend.
Ona Speedway has presented excitement for fans throughout much of the entire 19-year history of the SCSCS. Last year was no different in its comeback to the schedule after a dozen season layoff when “ShoTime” Mike won both races, each with differing receptions from the crowd.
One past winner at the facility and a two-time series champion is truly looking forward to his first visit to the historic 7/16-mile oval since last competing there in a Late Model nearly 10 years ago. Harvey Harrison, who also holds a track title when he raced there on a weekly basis, utilized patience in an entertaining 100-lap SCSCS main event on a summer night in 2012. A year later was a little more forgetful in his final-to-date Ona appearance with the series but was also memorable with two of his sons and his nephew in the field with him.
That family aspect once again comes to a special forefront where three generations are scheduled to be in competition against each other for the first time in series history.
“We do have a lot of work to do,” Harvey Harrison indicated way back on June 20th, the most recent date in which everyone with the series was together at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina where his ride departed with some damage. “(Grandson) Logan and (son) Brian have been working late at night on these cars. They are really dedicated and giving it all they’ve got. Now we’ve got a third car we have to do some work on so it’s going to be a busy month off.”
Logan Harrison plans to make his series debut after a successful test session at Franklin County Speedway in Virginia where he ran approximately 100 laps. He has been eager to get take the green flag for quite some time now at a track on Saturday in which he also participated in an open practice session the day before the series was originally scheduled to come out to Ona on August 1st.
“I’ve grown up around this series my whole life and I think it’s going to be really cool if we can get three generations running together,” the Renick, West Virginia teenager also stated after the night at Orange County.
Logan’s dad Brian Harrison has not taken a green flag since the season opener at Shenandoah Speedway in April but plans on bringing out a newly prepared car at a track in which he got his driving start in a Late Model years back.
“It’s definitely a unique racetrack,” the veteran of 82 SCSCS starts with an Ona best of fifth described. “It’s not conventional, but it’s a lot of fun. It’s a lot of slipping and sliding there, but I heard they repaved parts of it so it may be different now. I haven’t been there since.”
There are additional home state drivers eagerly awaiting Saturday. Eric Barber finished third in the 2025 standings but has not returned to the driver seat at all in 2026. That should change as the resident from only two hours away in Parkersburg, West Virginia climbs back behind the wheel.
Larry Frame is fresh off a fourth place run at Orange County, matching his series best results, including once last year at Ona. With family and friends expected to be in attendance, the Yellow Spring driver is getting into more of a rhythm when it comes to consistent and faster lap times. Much of that has been through additional guidance received from Petersburg competitor Brent Nelson, who blew a motor while having a strong run in the 2025 event and for unrelated reasons unfortunately will not be able to make the trip on Saturday, as well as Brent’s brother Rocky Nelson.
Last for now; however, certainly not least is the series point leader and a teammate of hers. Chrissy Wallace has never stepped foot on the grounds of the multi-purpose property that is shared with a private airstrip and RC flying field but is on a four-race winning streak heading into the weekend.
She has been leaning on Harvey Harrison much like he has with her for tips on navigating the tricky configurations they have each visited this year for the first time.
“Ona is a flat track,” Harvey Harrison added. “It’s going to take a little different setup, but we’re all really looking forward to it.”
Pit gates open at 1:00 p.m. with the first of two 15-minute practice sessions for the SCSCS Gen-4 style machines beginning the afternoon festivities at 2:00. Qualifying gets underway around 4:15 p.m.
Grandstand gates officially swing open for the RECO Products Kids Night at 5:00 p.m. with general admission on Saturday for only $15 and ages 12 and under admitted for free.
National Anthem and Juice Box features for the kids take place right before racing begins at 6:30 p.m. The first of the Putnam County Bank twin 40-lap main events for the Super Cup Stock Car Series starts off a packed program that includes seven local divisions additionally joining in on a night of fun.
Following the first race, an autograph session in the general admission area will include Chrissy along with her dad and SCSCS Hickory winner Mike Wallace as well as fellow past NASCAR star Jeremy Mayfield. Mayfield is also intending on competing in the races. In the five-time NASCAR Cup Series winner’s previous outing at Carteret County Speedway in early June, the Owensboro, Kentucky driver won the Pole Award and finished runner-up in both races.
