South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, Georgia is always a hotspot for horsepower, and the track has been bustling with back-to-back big events the past few months.

After presenting an action-packed 2 nd Annual Spring Break Ford Nationals presented by Whipple Superchargers in late February, track owners Raul and Jennifer Torres and their team members are preparing to welcome racers from across the country for Muscle Car Mayhem presented by Whipple Superchargers, March 19-21, 2026. This is the first year for the event.

“Because our inaugural Spring Break Ford Nationals presented by Whipple Superchargers in 2025 gave former NMRA racers a place to call home and went so well, we knew we had to extend an opportunity to former NMCA racers, too, so we created the inaugural Muscle Car Mayhem for 2026,” said Raul Torres. “I was inspired to produce this event because we have experienced first-hand what it feels like to lose a race, series or even a racetrack. The racers coming to Muscle Car Mayhem presented by Whipple Superchargers planned every spring to drive south to open their race season, and it is our honor to now give them that place to race in the spring at South Georgia Motorsports Park.”

To choose an inspired list of classes for the new event, Torres worked closely with Rollie Miller, Roger Conley, Don O’Neal and Ron Turransky.

“We collectively came up with what we thought would be the best possible show to put on for our fans, while giving the previous NMCA racers a place to race,” said Torres.

Classes to be contested include Small Tire Pro Stock, which offers $1,500 to win and $750 to runner-up, Xtreme Street ($3,000 to win, $1,000 to runner-up), NA Factory Stock ($3,000 to win, $600 to runner-up), Stock/Super Stock Combo ($4,000 to win, $750 to runner-up), Street Warrior 10.10 ($2,000 to win, $400 to runner-up), Street Race 8.60 ($2,000 to win, $400 to runner-up), Nostalgia Super Stock vs. Nostalgia Muscle Car ($2,000 to win, $400 to runner-up), Open Comp ($2,500 to win, $500 to runner-up), Rumble ($1,500 to win, $250 to runner-up), Street King ($1,500 to win, $250 to runner-up), King of the Street ($1,000 to win, $400 to runner-up), True Street ($1,000 for quickest average, $500 for second-quickest average, $100 for 9.00, 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 13.00, 14.00 and 15.00 averages), and Tremec Transmissions Stick Shift ($2,000 to win, $500 to runner-up).

The event will also include a car show and swap meet.

“My measuring stick for success of the Muscle Car Mayhem presented by Whipple Superchargers will be the response from our racers and fans who attend the race,” said Torres. “If they leave our race as happy as they came in, we know they will come back, which will allow the race to grow in the future. Ensuring continued success of this event will take endless hard work, which my family and team members are willing to put in for this industry.”

On Thursday, March 19, gates will open at 8 a.m. and a test and tune session will be held 10 a.m.-5 p.m. On Friday, March 20, gates will open at 8 a.m. and qualifying will be held 9 a.m.-6 p.m. On Saturday, March 21, gates will open at 8 a.m. and eliminations begin at 9 a.m.

“We are very grateful for sponsor support of this event from Whipple Superchargers and Tremec Transmissions,” said Torres. “We will exceed our partners’ expectations.”
