SPOKANE — The 6-hour round trip to race for Dave Garber turned out to be worthwhile. Garber used a pair of main event victories and consistent finishes to claim the 2026 Montana 5 Super Series at Mission Valley Super Oval in Ronan.
It was a battle to the end where Garber won the title by a mere 10 points over JD Undem from Frenchtown, MT. Just 14 points separated the top four drivers, including Agni Howell and Jason Robinson according to the track website. “A very special thank you goes to Evans Racing Enterprises (ERE), Garrett Evans, Glenn Knutson, and their team played a tremendous role in our success this season,” the team wrote.
Car owner Larry Fitzpatrick FITZ Motorsports, team Gary Groskreutz, KC Garber, Evan & Tabi Babin, and Brice Clark.
