At just 14 years old, Cam Panitzke is already making a name for himself in the highly competitive USRA Late Model ranks.

After coming painfully close multiple times early in the 2026 season, Cam finally broke through on June 6th with his first career USRA Late Model victory at Cedar Lake Speedway. He followed that performance with a runner-up finish on June 12th before capturing one of the biggest wins of his young career during Cedar Lake Speedway's prestigious Masters Weekend on June 13th, taking home the $1,000 winner's check.

Through just 11 starts in 2026, Cam has already accumulated:
• 2 Feature Wins
• 7 Top-5 Finishes
• 10 Top-10 Finishes

But the stats only tell part of the story.

Cam joins Blake and Ben to discuss his racing journey from go-karts to Legends cars, his experience racing on asphalt, and the transition into one of dirt racing's toughest divisions. We also dive into the emotions surrounding his recent victories and what it feels like to compete against drivers with years more experience.

One of the coolest moments of Masters Weekend came when Cam and his dad, Nick Panitzke, both found Victory Lane on the same night, creating a memory their family will never forget.

This episode is packed with excitement, confidence, and a glimpse into the future of Midwest dirt track racing. If you want to hear what a young driver sounds like after achieving a major career milestone, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
