NOW600 National Micros
Friesen, Roberts, Andrasek, and Kalkwarf Win on Friday at KAM Raceway!
HASTINGS, Neb. (May 15, 2026) - Jadyn Friesen, Tityn Roberts, Colton Andrasek, and Kasen Kalkwarf picked up feature wins on Friday at KAM Raceway in NOW600 Weekly Racing.
55 entries were on hand featuring 17-Non-Wing, 19-A-Class, 8-Restricted, and 11-Junior Sprints.
In NOW600 Non-Wing Micros competition, Jadyn Friesen put together a flawless evening aboard the 2F machine. After setting quick time in qualifying and charging from fourth to win his heat race, Friesen rolled off from the pole in the 25-lap A-Feature and never looked back, leading the field to claim the Nebraska Championship Cup victory. Sawyer Kiner kept Friesen honest throughout the feature to secure second, while Carson Holt charged from sixth to third at the checkered flag. Marcus Kennedy crossed fourth after winning his heat race earlier in the evening, while Kormick Linner earned hard charger honors by slicing from 13th to fifth. Heat race victories went to Friesen, Kennedy, and Kiner, while Friesen, Kaden Dady, and Tytus Loos topped qualifying groups.
The A-Class Micros provided one of the wildest features of the night with attrition playing a major role throughout the 25-lap main event. Tityn Roberts capitalized on a front row starting spot and stayed out front to collect the feature victory after winning his heat race earlier in the program. Sam Kaller delivered a strong drive from fifth to second, while Taelynne Roberts completed the family double podium in third after scoring a heat race win. Ollie Geiger advanced from tenth to fourth, and Tytus Loos rounded out the top five. The feature saw multiple DNFs and a post-race disqualification to Sawyer Zimmerman after he initially ran near the front all race long. Heat race wins belonged to Jarred Hackler, Taelynne Roberts, and Tityn Roberts, while qualifying quick times were earned by Jadyn Friesen, Sawyer Zimmerman, and Tytus Loos.
The Restricted Micros feature saw Colton Andrasek continue his strong season with an impressive run to victory in the 20-lap A-Main. Starting second, Andrasek worked past early leader Noah Copas and held off Avery Kellen late in the race to secure the win. Kellen advanced from fifth to finish second, while Copas settled for third after winning the heat race earlier in the night. Brantley Ried finished fourth with Kasen Kalkwarf completing the top five. Andrasek also paced qualifying with the fastest lap of the evening in the class.
Junior Sprints closed out the night with Kasen Kalkwarf picking up an exciting feature victory in the 15-lap main event. After qualifying quickest in his group and finishing second in his heat race, Kalkwarf charged from the outside front row to take the win over Tucker Friesen, who had earlier claimed the opening heat race victory. Bentlee Zimmerman completed the podium in third after winning the second heat race, while Easton Hackler and Camden Blumer rounded out the top five. Camden Blumer’s charge from tenth to fifth highlighted one of the strongest drives in the division, while Everett Geiger suffered heartbreak after an early DNF while running near the front.
