(July
10, 2026) The Shannon Babb Racing (SBR) team
invaded the Hawkeye State on Thursday, July 9, as the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned the annual running of the 'Slocum
50' at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. A strong 29 car field
turned out for the $15,000 to win program. Shannon Babb stopped
the clock fourth fastest in Group A during the qualifying session,
but was later involved in a wreck early in his heat race. Unfortunately,
heavy front end damage to the #18 forced Shannon to scratch from
the remainder of the program. Full results from last night at 34
Raceway can be viewed online at

4, 2026) A lone DIRTcar Summer Nationals
stop for the #18 SBR team over the Independence Day holiday weekend

Shannon Babb knocked down the second quickest time in his group
during the qualifying session prior to securing a victory in heat
race action. Unfortunately, mechanical troubles early in the $10,000
to win headliner dropped the Moweaqua, Illinois standout to a disappointing
nineteenth place showing. Full results from last night at Red Hill
Raceway can be viewed online at

(May
10, 2026) From May 5-9, the Shannon Babb
Racing (SBR) team was slated to compete in five high-profile events
in the Land of Lincoln. Unfortunately, only two programs escaped
the wrath of Mother Nature, as shows at LaSalle Speedway, Lincoln
Speedway, and Farmer City Raceway were all rained out.
(April
28, 2026) The World of Outlaws ruling on
the tire sample taken from Saturday night’s Illini 100 at
Farmer City Raceway is unfortunate to say the least. The tire was
a National Late Model 2 that we purchased from the tire truck at
Farmer City Raceway at 3:00pm on Saturday April 11th. We cleaned
our tire with a degreaser and wiped it off to remove the factory
mold release coating from the tire. If we would have washed it off
and not wiped it off, it would’ve been ok. This resulted in
the tire not meeting the benchmark. We were honest with the World
of Outlaws on the degreaser used to clean the tire and the test
results that came back confirmed the components of that degreaser.
(April
25, 2026) Shannon Babb and his #18 team returned
to action on Friday night, April 24 at Brownstown Bullring in Brownstown,
Illinois. The MARS Late Model Championship Series presided over
their season opener last night in the Land of Lincoln and a $5,000
payday was up for grabs. Shannon stopped the clock ninth quickest
overall during the qualifying session and later blasted to the front
of his heat race to record the victory. After rolling off from the
inside of the second row for the start of the 40-lap feature, Shannon
had a good run going until his front bumper folded under and forced
him to retire in the sixteenth position. Complete results from Brownstown
Bullring can be viewed online at 
(April
12, 2026) Shannon Babb Racing (SBR) kicked
off their 2026 campaign on April 10-11 in the annual running of
the 'llini 100' at Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois!
In Friday's $12,000 to win opener, Shannon Babb unfortunately failed
to transfer into the 40-lap feature after suffering a flat tire
in his heat race. On Saturday with a $25,000 payday up for grabs,
Shannon fared much better in finishing second in his heat race and
ninth in the 60-lap headliner. Full results from the entire World
of Outlaws Late Model Series-sanctioned weekend can be viewed online
