Caden Kvapil won the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway on September 26, 2026, securing a victory in a chaotic late-model stock car event. The race featured intense on-track battles and off-track confrontations, including a physical fight between Brad Housewright and Chase Burrow following the heat races.
