2/24/20261 min read

Team ESR delivered a strong showing at Iowa Speedway. Steven Burnett rolled off fifth and wasted no time moving forward, settling into second early in the race. A late caution set up a shootout to the finish, and Burnett took advantage on the restart, grabbing the lead and controlling the final 16 laps to secure his first win of the 2026 season.

Justin Kern started 14th and methodically worked his way into the top three through the middle stages of the race. Multiple late cautions and restarts shuffled the field, and Kern ultimately brought it home with a solid eighth-place finish after an impressive charge.
