O’Reilly Auto Parts Triple 50’s Headlines Saturday Night Racing at Anderson Speedway
Anderson, Indiana – Three of Anderson Speedway’s premier weekly divisions will take center stage on Saturday night as the O’Reilly Auto Parts Triple 50’s highlight one of the biggest nights of the regular season.
The event begins a busy stretch to close out July, with three consecutive marquee race weekends on the Anderson Speedway schedule.
The featured event for the Beaver Contracting Legends will be the 30th running of the Fritz/Dietzen Memorial, one of the division’s most prestigious annual races.
Greg Rudzik captured last year’s Fritz/Dietzen Memorial, finishing ahead of Cory Adams and Max Olmstead II. This year’s field has yet to be finalized, but local standout John Robbins is expected to be among the favorites. Robbins has won four of the past seven editions of the memorial race and is always a contender in one of the Legends’ biggest events.
The 2026 Legends season has featured multiple contenders, with Dalton Conner earning two feature victories while Xavier King enters Saturday with momentum after scoring the most recent feature win.
The Knapp Supply Ford Division will battle for 50 laps in one of its biggest races of the season. Through three races in 2026, three different drivers have celebrated in Hoosier Lottery Victory Lane. Ronnie Phipps, Josh Sage, and defending National Crown champion Curtis Chapman have each picked up a feature victory, setting the stage for another competitive showdown.
The Front Wheel Drive Division will also contest its longest race of the year with a 50-lap feature. Caleb Southerland has been the class of the field throughout much of the season, but Gaige Hulett and Nick Warner have continued to close the gap and will look to challenge for one of the division’s biggest victories.
The Beaver Contracting Thunder Roadsters will compete in a 25-lap feature on the challenging Roval course. John Robbins and Doug Dugger have consistently battled at the front of the field this season and are expected to once again contend for the victory.
Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 5:45 p.m., with racing set for 7:30 p.m.
Adult admission is $15, children ages 6-12 are $5, and children 5 and under are admitted free.
