Registered Drivers – 2026

Meet the Official Registered Drivers of the 2026 Upstate Chevy Dealers Autism Acceptance Race

The 5th Annual Upstate Chevy Dealers Autism Acceptance Race returns to Albany-Saratoga Speedway on Friday, September 4, 2026 (Rain Date: Friday, September 18, 2026) with one mission: to use the excitement of dirt track racing to create awareness, acceptance, and opportunity for individuals and families affected by Autism.

Featuring a $10,000 winner’s purse, more than $30,000 in total payouts, and up to 32 of the Northeast’s best Pro Stock drivers, this has become one of the premier Pro Stock events in the region. But this race is about much more than the checkered flag. Every lap, every sponsor, every fan, and every driver helps support local Autism organizations and expand opportunities for the Autism community.

Towards the bottom of the page you can find the registered drivers, their car numbers, sponsors and home town tracks and series.

 

OUTSIDE POLE CHARITY FUNDRAISER
This fundraiser determines the Outside Pole Award. All registered drivers are eligible for the outside pole starting position. The driver who raises the most money for our autism charities will earn the outside pole for the $10,000-to-win race. To donate, scroll to the bottom of this section and click “View All Fundraisers.” Then find the driver you want to support, click their name, and follow the prompts to make a donation on their behalf. Your donation helps give that driver the outside pole starting spot on race night.

Tie-Break Rule: In the event that two or more drivers finish with the same fundraising total, the outside pole will be awarded to the driver who first reached that total, as determined by the timestamp of the qualifying donation. In the event that donation timing cannot be verified due to a platform or technology issue beyond our control, race officials shall have final authority to determine the outside pole award.
