Inside Line Promotions – GLYNDON, Minn. (July 20, 2026) – Jack Dover earned his second straight Buffalo Wild Wings King of the Wings title by garnering the most points out of the six-race series with the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series and the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association.

“It feels really good,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “That’s what you have to do to win those things is be consistent and not have any DNFs. That’s my goal every night, to not have DNFs and finish on the podium, and we did that all six nights.”

Dover duplicated his performances through the second half of the King of the Wings event, placing third, second and first, respectively, during the tripleheader last weekend.

“We ran third the first night, second the second night and won the third night last month during the first three races of the King of the Wings and we did the exact same thing last weekend,” he said. “It was great to finish on the podium during all six races, win two of them and earn another championship.”

Dover kicked off last weekend on Thursday at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Min., where he won a heat race after starting fourth. He then placed third in both the dash and the main event.

“At the beginning of the race I fell back to I think sixth,” he said. “Rubber came in about five laps in. It was really aggressive rubber. It was follow the guy in front of you. We had some late restarts and I was able to stick my nose under the guy in front of me. I did that three times and we were able to salvage a third-place finish.”

Dover produced a career-best run at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., on Friday. He captured a heat race victory, finished third in the dash and gained a position to end second in the main event.

“Overall, I was really pleased with how our night went,” he said. “I made a mistake and didn’t switch the bars. I felt like that was a lot of my issue. I just totally forgot. That’s probably the worst I felt in the car all year so not a bad night at all considering how bad I felt.”

The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Buffalo River Speedway, where Dover advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race before he won both the dash and the main event.

“It was probably the best I’ve felt pretty much all year,” he said. “I changed the bars before the feature from the dash. We were good in the dash, but not where I felt we needed to be. The car really woke up. On a restart (Mark) Dobmeier tried sliding me one time. I just kept my foot in it and was able to drive around him. Other than that I didn’t see anyone’s nose.”

Dover currently leads the MSTS championship standings by 37 points heading into another busy week with three races on tap. He’ll compete on Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa; on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn.; and on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.
