Matthew’s 2026 Late Model program with Tom Usry Racing is the most expansive and geographically diverse component of his entire season. Competing across four distinct series — the CARS Tour, IHRA Late Model Series, I95 Showdown, and weekly racing — Matthew will take on over 20 confirmed race dates at nine tracks spread across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Indiana, and Alabama.
It is a program that covers the full breadth of the Southeast’s short track landscape, from the weekly racing intensity of South Boston Speedway in Virginia to the national-profile events of the CARS Tour — one of the most competitive Late Model series in the country. Each series and each track adds a different layer to Matthew’s development, and the accumulated mileage across all of them will prove invaluable as his career progresses.
