The first regional champions of the 2026 Ultra4 USA season have officially been crowned, bringing the Central Series championship battles to a close. Following a season of demanding courses, intense competition, and hard-fought finishes, nine drivers secured championship titles across the series’ racing classes.
The Central Series brought together competitors from across the Ultra4 racing community, with championships contested in everything from the premier 4400 Unlimited class to the production-based 4600 Stock class, multiple UTV divisions, and youth racing categories. Each championship represents a season-long effort by drivers and teams competing for points, podium finishes, and the opportunity to claim a regional title.
The 2026 Central Series champions include Tad Dowker in 4400, Justin Barth in 4800, Austin Pyatt in 4500, and Cory Day in 4600. In the UTV divisions, Kurt Mackie claimed the 4900 Stock championship, Adam Kinnett secured the 4900 Pro Mod title, and Alan Burton took top honors in 4900 Open. The youth championships went to Kayden Gamble in Youth 1K and Brody Eustice in 170 Modified.
With the Central Series concluded, attention turned to the remaining regional championship battles in the East and West Series. Those events would determine the final regional titleholders before competitors from across the country gathered in Hazard, Kentucky, for the 2026 Ultra4 USA Nationals and the national championship finale.
The official Ultra4 USA announcement recognizes the Central Series champions and the competitors who contributed to another season of regional off-road racing.
