Damien Rydvall Racing #89

Made the paper again 😊

It was a great night of racing for the 2026 Military Appreciation & NASCAR Finals Photo by VelocityMotorsportsNews.com at Edmonton International Raceway EIR It was worth the drive to EIR in Wetaskiwin to see Championship Winners for NASCAR Late Models, NASCAR Thunder Cars, NASCAR Pure Stocks, Future Stocks, Mini Cups, and Baby Grands. The singing race car driver Car 23 Kaylee Wil...

Wow… 2026 Future Stock Champion. Still hard to believe 🏆

First, I want to thank my pit crew: my dad, Sebastian Rydvall; my cousin, Simon Roy; my Farfar, Lars Rydvall; and my sponsor, Brant Carswell.

You guys have been there every step of the way — turning wrenches, making adjustments, solving problems, and keeping me going through the good races and the tough ones. I couldn’t have done this without you. This championship belongs to you guys just as much as it belongs to me.

I also want to give a very special thank-you to the man who built this car, James Haitel my mechanic.

James, you built me one heck of a Mazda 3. She drives like a dream. Thank you for all the time, knowledge, and hard work you put into building this car and helping make this championship possible.

I want to thank my family and friends for all the support throughout the season. Racing takes a lot of time, effort, money, and sacrifice, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who stood behind me. Big thank you to my Farmor for feeding us this season!!!!

And of course, a massive thank-you to our 2026 sponsors:

Pakrat Towing
Haitels Garage
Carnwood Contracting
Impact Mobile Tire
The Pop Culture Pub Podcast Network
NAPA – McLean’s Auto Parts
OK Tire
R&R Consulting

Thank you for believing in me, believing in this team, and helping keep this Mazda 3 on the track this season.

I also want to thank Edmonton International Raceway, the officials, volunteers, track staff, and everyone who makes racing at EIR race nights possible.

And a special thank-you to Ron and Loretta.

Thank you for letting us young kids race. You’ve given us the opportunity to come out here, learn, compete, and chase our dreams.

We appreciate you more than you know.

I also want to thank my fellow drivers: Lawson, Paxton, Olivia, Stella, Mason, and Lillian. You are all talented drivers, and it was a pleasure racing with you. Every battle, every close finish, and every tough night pushed us to become better. Lawson, it was a battle to the finish. To my shake and bake bro- can’t wait until next season Paxton. You are gonna crush it!!!

This season had its ups and downs. There were races where everything went our way, and races where we had to fight for every position. But we never stopped showing up. We never stopped working. And we never stopped believing.

And now, after all the laps, all the late nights, all the work, and all the battles…

He we are, the 2026 Future Stock Champion at Edmonton International Raceway 🥇

But before I finish, there’s one person I want to dedicate this championship to.

My Nana, Darcy 🩷

You left to meet Creator last November, and a piece of my heart left with you. I miss you every day.

You were one of my biggest supporters. You believed in me, you cheered me on, and you were always proud of what I was doing.

Even though you’re not here for me to see you in the stands, I know you’re with me at every turn.

This championship is dedicated to you, Nana.

I hope I made you proud.

I love you, Nana. 🩷

This one’s for you.

-Your honey boy

You wanna know what really makes a race season?

Sure, the racing is fun. The trophies are shiny. The cars are loud.

But the best part? The friends. 🏁❤️

This year’s Future Stock class was something special. These kids showed up to race each other and somehow ended up becoming a little racetrack family.

And naturally, the boys decided the perfect way to celebrate the season was with a farts and pizza party. 🍕💨

Because apparently nothing says “lasting friendship” quite like pepperoni, questionable smells, and zero adult supervision of the fart jokes. 😂

We invited the girls.

They said HARD PASS.

Honestly? Fair. 🤣

Thank you to every racer and every family who made Future Stock 2026 so much fun.

The checkered flags will get put away. The cars will go back in the shop. But the friendships, the laughs, and the absolutely ridiculous memories?

Those are sticking around.

2026 Future Stock — one heck of a season. 🏁❤️
