Local Cody Nigh Wins California Lightning Sprint Season Finale; Jeff Dyer Clinches First Championship
Torrance, CA — October 27, 2026 — Cody Nigh, who grew up around the legendary Ventura Raceway, gave the hometown fans plenty to cheer about last Saturday night when he captured the final Motor City Buick/GMC California Lightning Sprint Car Series main event of the 2026 season. While Nigh was celebrating his victory at the famous oceanside oval, longtime series competitor Jeff Dyer was celebrating something as well—his first CLS championship. Dyer became the 16th different driver to claim the title in the series’ 32-year history.
The season finale almost never happened. After a cancelation the previous week due to high winds that damaged the facility, the race was once again in jeopardy when heavy rain soaked the track during the week. However, Ventura Raceway officials and their hardworking crew refused to throw in the towel. They shifted into high gear, worked tirelessly to get the surface race-ready, and saved the show.
