division.
There are 17 POWRi national touring drivers (listed below) and the Invaders
Bonus will be open to all registered sprint car drivers that choose to race
at this event that are not part of the POWRi national tour...so in effect,
it will create a race within a race.
The bonus will be paid nightly, $500 to the highest finishing registered
Invading driver – unless that Invading driver wins the A-feature, and then
the bonus becomes $1,000 nightly!
Translated, the Friday A-feature pays $5,000 to win, and then it bumps up to
$7,000 to win on Saturday. If a registered Invading driver happens to win
both nights, they’ll take home a $14,000 weekend haul!

simple process and it’s free: simply email Talin at talin@t2promotions.net
with your intent to race in this event by the close of business on Monday,
April 20th to be eligible. Please submit your driver’s name, car number,

POWRi national tour drivers at this event, in advance, as we will announce

Impressive Finish For Brent Sexton At Tulare – Four SGR Drivers Head To Santa Maria Saturday
Lakeside, CA — April 2, 2026 — Despite being down a cylinder
in the USCS main event, Brent Sexton started 14th and finished seventh in
his first appearance at Tulare’s Thunderbowl Raceway last Saturday night.
This Saturday, the veteran racer and three other Sexton Gatlin Racing
drivers will head to the Santa Maria Speedway for the Motor City Buick/GMC
California Lightning Sprint Car Series race.
Coming off a second-place finish in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series the previous week at Ventura, Sexton was making his second Ultimate Sprint Car Series start of the 2026 campaign. He was hoping things would go better than his previous outing when he was clobbered by another car and flipped on lap one of his heat race at Las Vegas. The impact sent Sexton tumbling upside down. While he emerged unscathed, the same could not be said for his car, and he was done for the weekend.
Fortunately, the veteran Lakeside, California, racer put that night behind him and delivered a strong performance in his maiden voyage at the Thunderbowl. He qualified fifth in his group of seven cars with a lap of 17.334, which ranked 11th fastest among the 22 cars on hand.
After a fifth-place finish in his heat race, the three-time lightning sprint car champion started the main event 14th. It took four laps for him to pass a car and move into 13th. From there, he methodically worked his way forward. When a red flag due to a crash shortened the race about three-quarters of the way through due to time constraints, Sexton had climbed to seventh.
“We felt good in the car the whole time,” the friendly driver said. “We lost a pushrod in practice the night before. Thanks to Jimmy May, he had the parts, and we replaced it. But it did it again in hot laps on race night. So, we plugged off the injection and pulled the plug wire on one of the cylinders and ran on seven cylinders.”
“I was extremely happy,” the Tennessee native continued. “I figured we were going to have one hand behind our back, but I think it helped us.”
“Extremely impressed,” he enthusiastically stated about the track located in California’s Central Valley. “It was fun as hell for a non-wing sprint car. I am looking forward to coming back.”
This week at Santa Maria, four SGR drivers and three of the team’s cars will be on track. Brent, Braydin Collie of El Cajon, and Mark Henry of Rosamond will steer the SGR team cars. Brent’s youngest son, 21-year-old Grant, will drive the Savage Racing #3F owned by Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull.
Brent, Grant, and Collie are no strangers to Santa Maria. Brent and Grant have both competed there for years with strong results. Brent’s history at the track dates back to the late 1990s. Two years ago, Collie made his lightning sprint car debut on the famous 1/3-mile oval that opened in 1964 and surprised many with a sixth-place finish. Last year, he made two trips up the coast and recorded fifth and sixth-place results.
For fans who want to catch this week’s race live, spectator gates will open at 4:00 p.m., with racing at 6:00. Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo, California. For more information, visit www.santamariaspeedway.net or call (815) 619-0478.
After this week’s race at Santa Maria, SGR will continue its
busy schedule on April 10th and 11th. Brent and Grant will head 350 miles
north to contest the next two rounds of the SCLS Series. On April 10th, they
will compete at Watsonville Speedway. Twenty-four hours later, they will
race at Merced Speedway for the second event of the two-day weekend.

Steady Progress for Lattomus and Team Early in the 2026 Season
York Haven, PA – April 2, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
As the 2026 sprint car season kicks off, Preston Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91 team are reflecting on their early progress and continued development. A key focus for Lattomus has been improving his qualifying performance, a strategy that has already seen positive results.
QUALIFYING SUCCESS
Lattomus has successfully earned top-ten starting positions in his last three races, partially attributing this achievement to consistent speed, particularly at BAPS Motor Speedway.
“Qualifying has definitely been a positive this year, especially at BAPS. To be able to carry that effort to other tracks is still a goal.” Lattomus shared, commenting on the importance of maintaining qualifying performance across various tracks.
CHALLENGES
Despite strong starts, each A-main presented unique challenges.
“The goal is always to go forward in the A-main, and I didn’t get that done the last three starts. The first race at BAPS (Motor Speedway) was me just making mistakes early, and then as I started making good laps, everything just got spread out,” Lattomus explained.
“At Port Royal, I feel I learned every time I hit the track. In the feature, I put myself in a bad spot at the start, and it took a few laps to recover. After those first few laps, I got into a groove, running solid, consistent laps, but then got swallowed up with lap traffic, and it pretty much finished my race.”
“Last weekend at BAPS (Motor Speedway), we showed our speed all day. I lost all my ground in the first few laps. The track prep before the feature made it heavier than we expected. I just had no power and got driven around until about lap 4. It was tough to pass and make up ground all day.“
“I know that is something to aim my sights on, being better and more aggressive on the starts.”
IIMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS
Good communication is key to making good decisions, not just in racing but almost anywhere.
Lattomus and his team felt improved communication among team members would make a notable difference in their performance, so during offseason meetings, it became one of the team’s key goals for 2026.
“Our communications seem to be getting better every night now that it is a known priority among everyone. It has really helped us make the car and me better as the night goes on compared to last year,” Lattomus noted, emphasizing the ongoing focus on collaboration among team members.
EQUIPMENT CONSISTENCY
Lattomus knows he has good equipment. With equipment largely unchanged from last season, he and his team are building on their existing setup.
“We have the equipment to compete for wins. We haven’t made any major changes equipment-wise yet this season. We are working on improving in the areas we know we need to, while continuing to build on the progress we have made with what we have. ” Lattomus added.
UPCOMING PLANS
Lattomus will compete at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway in Pennsylvania this weekend, followed by a return to BAPS Motors Speedway the following weekend.

He’s Back: Tony Jackson Returns to Scott Hess Racing Sportsman for Select Shows in 2026
Newville, PA – April 2, 2026
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Coming just a day after April Fools’ Day, this is no joke — Tony Jackson is returning to the driver’s seat.
The veteran racer will pilot the Scott Hess Racing Sportsman for a select winged and wingless schedule in 2026, after previously announcing that 2025 would be his final season behind the wheel.
Jackson’s return will begin with a pair of wingless events on April 24 at Williams Grove Speedway and April 25 at Port Royal Speedway. He also plans to compete in wingless competition alongside the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars at Lincoln Speedway on May 5th.
“This was always kind of the plan, but I wanted Scott to be able to find someone to race full-time, as I just really didn’t want to do it all that much,” said Jackson. “I wanted to give Chase and the team the time to get going and get racing first, respectively, but we wanted to get the word out and start getting ready to go compete for wins.”
Jackson’s 2026 schedule will be selective, allowing him to balance time away from full-time competition while still competing for victories in the familiar Scott Hess Racing entry. Following a successful 2025 campaign, Jackson credited the support of his sponsors, friends, and family as the driving force behind his decision to come back for a limited run.
“We have a rough schedule kind of laid out, but this gives me the ability to be flexible and make sure my family and business get my attention first,” he said. “If I have something on the schedule and my boy has a ballgame that pops up, that’s going to get my attention and that’s the plan.”
Jackson also emphasized that his return will not take away from Chase Gutshall’s efforts behind the wheel of Scott Hess Racing’s winged Sportsman.
“Chase is already kind of stepping into a tough situation with a car that’s won a lot of races and been successful,” he said. “I want to make sure he can feel confident and appreciated, and I’m sure those guys are going to win a lot of shows together. There may be a few nights where we run two cars here and there, and ultimately the goal for us is to just have some fun, win some races, and hopefully we can both do that for Scott and all our sponsors.”
Additional appearances will be announced at a later date.

HOVIS RUSH RACERS TO COMPETE FOR $130,000+ OF ADDITIONAL CASH & VALUABLE PRODUCTS VIA CONTIGENCY PROGRAMS IN 2026 AS CORPORATE MARKETING PARTNER SUPPORT CONTINUES TO INCREASE
By Mike Leone
April 2, 2026 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Pulaski, PA)…As the 2026 season is set to begin, drivers
throughout the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Racing Series presented by
Born2Run Lubricants will not only be vying for what is considered to be the
nation's richest Chevrolet Performance crate engine championship point
funds, but also more than $130,000 of additional cash and valuable products
throughout RUSH's various contingency programs.
The RUSH Late Models will see well over $70,000 of
contingency value posted, while the RUSH Sprint Cars, RUSH Sportsman
Modifieds, RUSH Pro Mods, and RUSH Stock Cars will have an additional
$60,000+ posted in cash and useful valuable product!
"It's always been my goal to give back to as many RUSH
racers as possible," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "We know that not
every racer that competes throughout RUSH will finish in paying positions of
our championship point funds, but I do think the majority of our racers have
an opportunity at some time throughout the season to receive a great item
that can be beneficial to their racing operation over and above their normal
event payoffs."
"We currently have over 40 corporate marketing partners,
many of which have been with us for numerous years," revealed Emig. "We
simply could not sustain RUSH without them and we're greatly appreciative
for their unwavering support! Our goal with RUSH has always been to 'keep
people racing'! Simply put, the more cars we can keep on the speedway the
more opportunity they have to market their products and services. We've had
a phenomenal off-season as far as securing new corporate marketing partners,
several of whom have been instrumental in helping us create numerous new and
exciting programs in addition to our traditional ones."
The centerpiece of all of the RUSH contingency programs has
always been the renowned "Manufacturers Nights" presented by MSD
Performance. These events for each RUSH division guarantees every racer
competing at "Mfg. Night" a product certificate. The RUSH Late Model
certificates range in value from $400 to $2,000, while the other RUSH
divisions vary from a minimum value of $300 to $1,000. The certificates are
determined by a random draw, and most importantly are redeemed for the
actual value of the product, as racers do not have to spend additional funds
to receive them.
New for 2026 will be "Kenny's Cash", presented by RUSH
Sprint Car racer Arnie Kent in memory of his father, Kenny. This exciting
program will potentially distribute over $5,000 to the Series' race teams.
One-hundred dollars will be awarded to a lucky driver by rotating positions
at each 2026 RUSH Sprint Car event, then at the season ending event, a
$1,000 drawing will be held for drivers that compete in 75% or more of the
completed events.
Beginning in 2024,with its foundation set by the Landrum
Performance Springs $5,000 "Loyalty Bonus", an entire new program has been
developed known as the "Loyalty Program" for the RUSH Late Model Flynn's
Tire/Gunter's Hone Touring Series. This has been instrumental in securing a
large core group of racers who attend every event, which resulted in an
average car count of 37 in 2025 with many races seeing well over 40 cars
including an all-time record 62 at Lernerville Speedway's "Bill Emig
Memorial" presented by Sunoco Race Fuels. This program rewards committed
Tour racers several thousand dollars of value over and above the $76,000
championship points fund and the event payoffs, which feature a minimum of
$4,000 to-win.
In addition to the $5,000 Landrum Performance Springs
"Loyalty Bonus", which was won by New York racers Austin Allen (2024) and
Jason Knowles (2025), Touring drivers will also be eligible for the new
Capital Contracting Service "Allegiance Rewards", Real Merchant Services DMV
"Free Ride", and the Bazell Race Fuels "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" which
will push the overall value available to these racers to an estimated
$15,000.
After each completed four Tour events, Capital Contracting
Service will distribute $600 to lucky RUSH Late Model teams. Drivers/Owners
must be a Touring Series member and compete in 75% or more of the completed
events to be eligible for the three drawings of $300, $200, $100.
Former RUSH Late Model racer, Donnie Tepper, has come on
board with his Real Merchant Services DMV to award a free $100 entry fee to
Touring Series member drivers after they complete six consecutive events.
Real Merchant Services DMV will also present the "Wheelman" Bonus Event
Challenge Series.
Also new for 2026 will be the exciting "Hottest of the Hot"
presented by Schneider Trucks that will award $50 to the fastest driver in
hot laps, the $100 "Pedal Down" Hard Charger presented by Hoosier Tire
Western Pennsylvania as well as the $100 "Tough Break of the Night"
presented by Close Racing Supply. With the addition of the Bazell Race Fuels
"Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" fuel cards for non-Touring drivers, "Spoiler
Alert" that distributes a $150 spoiler kit from Ontime Body & Graphic,
$2,000 in Henry's Headers & Exhaust Systems certificates, and the BOGO
Landrum Performance Springs certificates totaling $15,0000, a whopping
$32,000+ in additional cash and products will be up for grabs at the Flynn's
Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series events.
And not to forget the literal crown jewel of all prizes
available to the RUSH Late Model racers is the $8,000 "Bill Emig Memorial"
Championship diamond ring designed and created by D&V Jewelers; considered
by to be one of the most coveted awards in all of Chevrolet Performance
crate engine racing that goes with the $20,000 cash! Mark Whitener (2022),
Max Blair (2023), Dave Hess, Jr. (2024) and Mason Zeigler (2025) have been
the only racers to capture this spectacular jewel; who will be the fifth?

Persistent Rainfall and Cold Temperatures Force POWRi 410 Cancellation at 34 Raceway
Belleville, IL. (4/1/2026) - POWRi Racing officials have announced the cancellation of the scheduled Heartland Harley-Davidson 410 Spring Fling at 34 Raceway on April 3-4 due to substantial precipitation and forecasted cold temperatures throughout the week and into the weekend.
“With consistent rainfall throughout the week, little improvement in the forecast, and rising travel costs, the decision was made in the best interest of teams, fans, and competitors,” said Talin Turner, Series Director of POWRi Racing. “We didn’t want to put teams on the road with no real hope of getting the races in.”
At this time, no postponement date has been secured for the canceled event. However, should an opportunity to reschedule become available, POWRi Racing and 34 Raceway will provide updates accordingly. The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League is scheduled to return to 34 Raceway on Friday, September 4.

Tanner Carrick Pleased with Double Duty Showing in Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Tanner Carrick continued his early season double duty outings. Saturday night, Carrick was back in action in Tulare, CA where he resumed action with NARC and was also in action with the non-winged USCS.
“Overall, we had really good speed in both cars,” Tanner Carrick said. “It was a bummer that the non-winged race got cut short, because I think we could have a good race with Ryan Bernal, and in the NARC race, I got rolling but just misjudged a car and ended up spinning to a stop.”
With 29 NARC cars checked into the pit area for the series’ second event of the season, Carrick timed the CVC/Cemex/California Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in 17th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, Carrick was in a very entertaining three car battle for position, and when the race ended, he did end up sixth which did lock him into the 30-lap feature event.
Moving into the feature event, the Lincoln, CA driver took the green flag from the 17th starting position on a very slick and racy Thunderbowl Raceway surface. After the race’s first stoppage, Carrick used the restart to make a couple of big moves.
Sitting in 16th, Carrick jumped into 13th when the race came back to life and was in the Top-10 a lap later. With a big run heading into turn one, Carrick closed in on a car quickly and as he tried to get slowed down he made slight contact with the left rear and brought his car to a stop on the seventh lap.
Able to restart from last, Carrick was able to pick up a few positions but as rubber started to go down on the speedway, his progress was slowed as he capped the night off in 18th.
Also competing in non-winged action on this night, Carrick got his USCS part of the night off to a great start as he earned quick time honors.
Advancing from fifth to third in his heat race, Carrick lined up for the feature event in the sixth position. Running in sixth as the USCS feature came to life, Carrick moved into fifth on eighth lap, and then worked into fourth at what was the scheduled halfway point of the race.
Running in fourth, Carrick slipped back to fifth on the 19th lap, only to see the red flag come out and put him in third. Under the red flag, circumstance in the race changed and officials opted to call the race short six laps from the scheduled finish.
“Good speed in both our cars, and that is definitely a confidence booster heading into our busy schedule,” Carrick added.
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 10, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 4, Top 10’s: 5
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick will be back in action on Saturday night in Placerville, CA.

81 Speedway showcased the Tallgrass Tussle on Saturday and Gravel kicked off the program by establishing a new track record during qualifying. A heat race victory was followed by a charge from eighth to fifth place in the dash. Gravel ran inside the top five early before ending the main event sixth - his ninth top 10 of the season.
The team holds a 48-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering a rare Weekend off - the last until the Fourth of July Weekend.

Andy Forsberg Scores First Placerville Speedway Win of Season
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to action on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Andy Forsberg continued a strong start to the 2026 season as he picked up his 78th career win at the track which marked the team’s fourth tally of the year.
“We were able to get timed in a little better on Saturday night, which was a big step in the right direction for us and that set our night up,” Andy Forsberg said.
Timing in third fastest on Saturday night aboard the Pacific Highway Rentals/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply backed No.92, Forsberg picked up a fourth-place finish in his heat race.
With his qualifying time mixed with his heat race transfer, the Auburn, CA driver was in the redraw where the two pill put him on the front row of the 25-lap feature event.
When the Ed Entz green flag dropped, Forsberg stood on the loud pedal and jumped out to the lead as he went to work on the top side of the Placerville Speedway surface.
Despite a copious amount of cautions plaguing the feature event, Forsberg was crisp on every restart and kept the field at bay as he stayed in command of the feature event.
Leading from flag to flag, Forsberg raced to his fourth win of the season, and his 78th career win at the track he has called home for the bulk of his career.
“It was a bit of a mess of a feature at times, but we had a great car and we were able to nail each restart and stay our front,” Forsberg said. “I was happy with our qualifying speed because with this week being an SCCT race, we will need to be on our game.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing Hard Charge with NARC
PETERSEN MEDIA: Despite a sluggish start to the night on Saturday in Tulare, CA, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team kept their nose to the grindstone and came to life when it mattered most as Brooks charged from 20th to 6thin the feature event.
“Our night started off decent in qualifying, but we struggled in our heat race, and I made some bad decisions,” Landon Brooks said.
With 29 cars checked into Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA, the Rio Oso, CA driver timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L mount in 14th fastest.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, Brooks slipped back out of a transfer as he worked around the 1/3 mile oval. Battling with Tanner Carrick, Brooks’ seventh place finish put him in the night’s ‘B’ Main with one final opportunity to lock into the feature event.
Starting on the front row of the semi, Brooks ran a very solid 12-lap race as he held the second position and punched his ticket into the night’s 30-lapper.
Taking the green flag from the 20th starting position, a very racy Thunderbowl allowed Brooks to make quite the charge forward. Using a restart on lap three to gain a ton of ground, Brooks jumped up to 13th before three and four wide racing around the slick surface, saw him move into 10th on the fourth lap.
Racing into eighth on the eighth on the eighth lap, Brooks continued to surge forward as he was into seventh a lap later. Moving into sixth on the 15th lap, Brooks got into a very spirited battle with Shane Golobic for fifth as the duo spent the final half of the race going back and forth as they battled for the final top-five position.
When the checkered flag flew, Brooks capped a very strong run in the ‘A’ off with a hard fought sixth place finish.
“I really have to give the Hamilton Racing team a ton of credit, because I felt so comfortable in the feature event,” Brooks added. “I could go wherever I needed, and if things played out a little different, I honestly believe we could have ended up on the podium. We will take the really good run in the ‘A’, and get ready for Placerville this Saturday.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Chance Grasty’s Consistent Start to 2026 Continues
PETERSEN MEDIA- Continuing an extremely consistent start to the 2026 season, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team picked up a seventh-place finish on Saturday night during the second round of NARC action.
“We got a very good draw, and that helped us time in third fastest,” Chance Grasty said. “Qualifying with NARC is huge, so that really set the tone for the rest of the night.”
With 29 cars checked into the pit area, the Suisun City, CA timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in third quickest in time trials.
Just needing to finish in the top-six in his heat race to qualify for the Dash, Grasty got a great jump from his fourth starting position as he settled into second. Searching around the Thunderbowl surface, Grasty did lose a position but his third-place finish was still enough to garner a Dash berth and lock into the feature event.
Finishing sixth in the Dash, Grasty was set to take the green flag for the feature event from the outside of the third row.
When the race came to life, Grasty quickly jumped into fifth before the first of a few cautions that were scattered in the race flew.
Slipping back to seventh on the first restart, Grasty was able to race is way forward, but found himself in a couple of multi car battles for position, with action all over the 1/3 mile oval.
Getting back into the Top-Five at one point, Grasty slipped back to seventh when the checkered flag flew on the feature event.
“There was really good action in the feature event, and we had a good car,” Grasty added. “We were just back in seventh when the rubber started to go down in the last few laps and that’s where he finished. Overall, I was pretty happy with the night in general.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, No. 48 sprint car, finished fourth in his top-five appearance, commencing action from row three.
“It’s tough to build some rhythm when we’re forced to fight Mother Nature at the same time,” Dietrich said. “Regardless, I’m happy to get another top-five at BAPS. I wanted to be up front, but consistency is important. We’ll see how the weather plays out this week…hopefully better.”

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (March 30, 2026) – It was a chilly night in the Show-Me State, but Doney-Lawson Racing’s (DLR) Xavier Doney was up for the task, joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in the KC Classic at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Missouri, on Friday, March 27.
In all, a consistent effort by the Odessa, Missouri, native, racing on to not only qualify through his respective heat race, but eventually cap the evening with a 17th-place score in the 30-lap main event. A respectable outing for the Doney-Lawson Racing | Schee-Lawson Chassis House Car program, the team launched their evening in the Show-Me State with the 15th-fastest qualifying time of 28 entries.
The coming Easter Weekend will prove to be just as busy for DLR, setting their compass toward the Hawkeye State for the two-day POWRi invasion of 34 Raceway on Friday and Saturday, April 3-4. Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and teammate at Doney-Lawson Racing powered by Kat Excavation, Pella Building Systems-Mini Storage Specialists, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Five Star Bodies, and Stanton Racing Engines, will make her 2026 debut in the aforementioned doubleheader.
The Doney Family are certainly no strangers to POWRi competition, as Xavier finished third in the 2025 Series championship.

ByTyler Altmeyer
March 30, 2026
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (March 30, 2026) – The “Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports have been on the move, quite literally, earning back-to-back top-ten appearances in recent starts at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico, and Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas, on Tuesday and Friday, March 24 and 27.
In fact, Madsen, now with seven top-tens on the season aboard Vermeer’s TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors, No. 55 sprinter, finished ninth in each of his top-ten achievements, the latter the product of an impressive hard charge from 19th on the grid. The ten-spot increase was enough to solidify Route 66’s official Hard Charger Award, finishing just behind Texas’ own Sam Hafertepe Jr.
With all results considered, Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports sit sixth in the High Limit Racing championship, 29 points out of the top-five (with Tyler Courtney in fifth) and 104 points out of the lead (Tanner Thorson).
High Limit’s “High Rollers” were intended to continue action at Dodge City Raceway Park on Saturday, March 28, but Mother Nature had other plans.
“Overall, a consistent weekend for our team, and that’s what we’re after,” Tye Wolfgang, Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief, explained. “Victories are our main priority, but maintaining consistency is just as important. Things are looking up from here and we’re excited about it.
“We’ll take Easter off to regroup before getting back to action,” Wolfgang continued. “We don’t have an exact plan for April 10-11, but we’ll have something figured out soon.”
ON DECK:
Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will continue their 2026 Interstate

Brian Brown Racing working hard in making improvements;
Upcoming weekend still TBD
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 30, 2026
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (March 30, 2026) – The 2026 season has been somewhat of a struggle for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing, forced to settle with another unsatisfactory result at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, on Saturday, March 28. Brown, whose resume speaks for itself with multiple Knoxville Raceway track championships, was scored 24th in the World of Outlaws program, commencing action from 17th on the grid.
Despite the frustration, the Grain Valley, Missouri, ace refuses to settle, praising his team’s hard work and determination in making their Casey’s | FVP cars better going forward.
“A pretty solid preliminary effort at 81 Speedway, but as we’ve said, it’s been a struggle to free up our cars in the A-Mains. We took a huge swing the other way this weekend. Still not where we need to be right now,” Brown was quick to note. “Depiste all of that, the guys continue to work really hard in getting us going in the right direction, working toward better, consistent finishes. The season is early. Plenty of time to get our cars better and get my wrist better. Not sure of an exact plan for the coming weekend. We’ll put something out as soon as we have a destination determined.”
Brown was fifth in his respective heat race in Park City, kicking things off with the ninth-fastest time in the first of two qualifying flights.

MUST SEE RACING CHANGES HANDS
March 25, 2026 - Holly, Michigan - Must See Racing CEO and President Jim Hanks today announced that he has sold his sprint car series and will step away from the day-to-day operations of the series effectively immediately. The timing of the sale comes less than six weeks before the opening weekend is set to kick off the sixteenth season of racing for the 410-winged asphalt sprint car series.
Long time Must See Racing official Tony Roberts now assumes ownership of the series. The Indiana native began his tenure in auto racing in an official's capacity in the early1990's while living in California. His brother Dan Robets was working at Ventura Raceway. He was heading up a local karting club that raced at the track and asked Tony for a hand.
Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Roberts moved to Bakersfield, California after a stint in the United States Air Force.in the late 1980's.
Shortly after his Ventura Raceway stint, Roberts landed a job with the USAC Western States Series. During his tenure with the USAC, he held several prominent roles within the series under the tutelage of Tommy Hunt.
After moving back to the Midwest in 2013 Roberts took a
position of Track Director with Must See Racing at the Urging of Bill
Shipman. He was immediately impressed with 410-winged pavement sprint car
racing noting that it was exciting and captivating.
He has been involved with multiple racing series over the years that have
included a variety of race cars including Go Karts, 410-winged sprint cars,
midgets, USAC Silver Crown cars, and super modifieds among others. He has
worked at tracks ranging in size from a quarter mile to one mile in length.
"It's an honor to be able to acquire such a historic series" stated Roberts. "Jim Hanks has done a remarkable job establishing a brand-name brand with great drivers and exciting racing. I already have a great relationship with the teams from my time as an official. I hope to honor the traditions and build on what Jim and Nancy have established for years to come".
Hanks, 78, caught the racing bug as a small child while attending races at Motor City Speedway in Detroit. He instantly caught the racing bug and soon began racing Go Karts. He would purchase sprint cars and USAC Silver Crown cars in the mid 1990's. His cars were a regular staple at USAC Sprint Car, USAC Silver Crown, and Super Sprints events. Notable drivers include Kevin Feeney, Aaron Pierce, Mike Ling, and Curt Shumaker.
Hanks, along with his wife Nancy of 56 years, founded Must See Racing as a motorsport's television production entity in 2008. He produced tape delayed racing broadcasts for Fox Sports Network in the early years. He ultimately sought to bring winged pavement sprint car events regularly into the homes and televisions of millions.
After difficulties convincing two rival series to work
together in an effort to produce sufficient car counts for his nationally
televised events, Hanks decided to form his own series so he could have
control of every aspect of his events from start to finish. He believed
creating his own series was essential to producing quality winged pavement
sprint car events for national television audiences.
In 2011 the Must See Racing Sprint Series was born. The series had a strong
presence in the Midwest. The Holly, Michigan based series has competed in 13
different states to date. The sanctioning body has also included Super
Modifieds and 602 Crate Sprint Cars under its umbrella in the past. MSR
sanctioned and televised the Little 500 from 2012-2020.
Two events that stand out in MSR's sixteen-year history was a one-off non-wing sprint car event at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana. That event saw 27 cars take the green flag during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic year. Kody Swanson won the event that was televised on MAVTV.
On October 1, 2011, MSR visited Bristol Motor Speedway for the only time winged pavement sprint cars visited the legendary high-banked half-mile speedway. Brain Gerster won that $10,000 event and still today holds the all-time track record with a lap of 12.742-seconds (150+ mph).
“For over thirty years I have been blessed with the privilege to participate as a car owner and as the founder and owner of Must See Racing which has been an important business endeavor and a responsibility to best represent our sport providing racing entertainment for the fans and value for the teams, tracks, sponsors and all the stakeholders.
Positively contributing to racing has been important and a key part of my life however, I must immediately and unconditionally retire from the business of racing for the wellbeing of my family, my health and the future of MSR.
My gratitude for the business and personal support over the years is beyond measure and I thank everyone ...our staff, the teams, tracks, multimedia partners, sponsors, fans and most importantly my wife Nancy.
Moving forward under the direction and management of the experienced and capable hands of long time MSR official Tony Roberts the future of Must See Racing is strong, very strong. “
An impressive 2026 schedule is already in place that
includes three $10,000-to-win events and a first-ever trip to Canada on
August 7. For more info, please visit http://www.mustseeracing.com.
News, information and updates about the all new MUST SEE RACING will soon be available and provided by Tony Roberts.
MISSISSIPPI / ALABAMA SPRINTS SET FOR MOBILE RETURN
March 24, 2026 - The Mississippi / Alabama sprints are set to kick off the 2026 season this Saturday night March 28 at Mobile International Speedway (MIS) in Irvington, Alabama.
Winged sprint car racing returned to MIS last April 26 after a six-year hiatus. Tampa, Florida’s Johnny Gilbertson won that event in front of a packed house. The popularity of the sprint car return to MIS led to an additional two more races last year.
Race organizer Fred Fayard, who was responsible for organizing the return, sought to add even more races in 2026 at MIS. A schedule of four races at MIS was initially announced at the first of the year with the possibility of even more events.
Fayard encouraged a group of 360-winged sprint cars from the Mississippi / Alabama area to band together for regular winged sprint car racing at MIS in 2026 and beyond. Long range plans include adding another track or two as car count increases.
The events will be 360 winged where no points will be accumulated, and no champion will be crowned at the conclusion of year. The events will pay $2,000 to win and $500 to start. The events are being organized to be run with the emphasis on having fun.
A strong field of nearly 20 cars representing five states is expected for the season opener Saturday. There were three different winners of the three races contested in 2025. A competitive event with a possible new winner is anticipated.

He brings with him one of the most accomplished resumes in American motorsports.
A native of South Bend, Indiana, Newman rose through the ranks with a reputation for engineering precision and raw speed. A Purdue University engineering graduate, he quickly made a name for himself in NASCAR. Over the course of his career, Newman has recorded 18 wins in the NASCAR Cup Series, along with more than 50 pole positions, consistently competing at the highest level of stock car racing for over two decades.
His biggest triumph came in 2008 with a victory in the Daytona 500, one of the sport’s most prestigious events. Newman also contended for a championship in 2014, finishing second in the final standings, further solidifying his reputation as one of the sport’s toughest and most consistent competitors.
Despite his success on NASCAR’s biggest stages, Newman has never strayed far from his Midwestern roots or his passion for short track racing. That passion continues to bring him back to the Little 500 at Anderson Speedway. A race known for its 500-lap grind, live pit stops, and unmatched intensity in pavement sprint car competition.
Newman will make his fourth career start in the Little 500, having previously competed in 2022, 2024, and 2025. His best performance came in 2024, when he raced to a strong sixth-place finish against a deep and competitive field. Each appearance has added to his experience in the unique event, as he continues to pursue a breakthrough run in the historic race.
Little 500 legend and nine-time winner, Eric Gordon, will once again lead the charge for Ryan Newman. Gordon, who has been a cornerstone of the team, keeps the car in Indiana and meticulously fine-tunes it for every race. His expertise and experience at the Little 500 make him an invaluable asset as Newman aims to add another strong finish to his impressive record.
For the 2026 edition, Newman will be backed by primary sponsor Ed Martin Ford, with additional support from Finzer Roller, Bobcat Company, and Lucas Oil.
With his combination of experience, mechanical knowledge, and relentless determination, Newman’s return adds even more depth to an already stacked field. As the laps wind down on the 500-lap classic, don’t be surprised to see the Indiana native in the mix, continuing his pursuit of a Little 500 victory.
The 78th Unified Group Little 500 presented by ED Martin Automotive Group week begins Wednesday May 20 for practice. CB Fabricating Pole Day is Thursday, May 21, and Bump Day is Friday, May 22. The historic 500 lap race is scheduled to start at 8:00pm on Saturday, May 23. Fans unable to attend in person can watch racing live on Racing America. Click Here to Purchase Tickets today.

Placerville Speedway hosts Sluice Box Bonanza this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…A four division program rumbles into Placerville Speedway this Saturday March 28th when the quarter mile plays host to the Sluice Box Bonanza.
The Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars make their second appearance of the year after launching 2026 last week.
Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield snagged the win over championship contender Justyn Cox of Clarksburg. Austin Wood, Max Mittry and Colby Copeland completed the top five on opening night.
This Saturday is final Winged 360 Sprint Car tune up prior to the SCCT opener on April 4th.
The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks are back at it for their second point race on Saturday. Placerville’s own Tyler Lightfoot grabbed his second career Pure Stock win last week while holding off the relentless challenges of Nick Baldwin from Oakley.
Making their season debut on Saturday will be the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. The grass roots racing division offers an economic way to get on track and have some fun. Nevada driver Howard Miller scooped up one win on way to the championship last year.
The traveling Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars round out the card at the Sluice Box Bonanza. Marysville’s Josh Young and Elk Grove’s Jake Morgan captured the Hunt Tour visits last season. The wingless warriors also return for another event on June 13th.
Placerville Speedway is proud to be nestled in the heart of gold country, and we pay homage to that with the Sluice Box Bonanza this weekend.
A sluice box is a highly efficient, portable gold-mining tool used to separate heavy gold from gravel using water flow, catching gold behind riffles and inside matting. Often made of aluminum with rubber or carpet liners, these devices are essential for processing 10 to 20 times more material than panning.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during the Sluice Box Bonanza will be General Admission on Saturday March 28th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
Adult tickets cost just $20, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $18. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr-032826
The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. Cars hit the track at 5:15pm with hot laps, ADCO Driveline Qualifying and racing to follow.
The Placerville Speedway is located on the beautiful El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, California. Take Hwy US-50 to Forni Road/Placerville Drive exit. Then go north on Placerville Drive to the Fairgrounds. The physical address is 100 Placerville Dr., Placerville, CA 95667. For more information log onto http://www.placervillespeedway.com

One Goal in Mind: Bobby Santos III Targets Little 500 and Full-Season Success
As the calendar inches closer to the start of the 2026 yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour season, Bobby Santos III isn’t reinventing the wheel—he’s refining it.
After a steady offseason centered on fine-tuning rather than wholesale changes, Santos enters the year with a quiet confidence. With the prestigious Unified Group Services Little 500 circled firmly on his calendar, the veteran driver believes his team is better positioned than it has been in recent seasons.
“I feel like we’ve had a good offseason,” Santos said. “I’m optimistic that we’re in a better spot with our race car than we have been the last couple years. I’m excited. I think we’re prepared, and I’m really hoping we can unload with more speed than we’ve had.”
In 2026, that preparation comes with added commitment. Santos and DJ Racing intend to compete in every event on the 500 Sprint Car Tour schedule, signaling a full-season focus with a clear emphasis on consistency and championship contention.
At the center of it all remains the Unified Group Services Little 500.
While the full schedule is on the radar, Santos has made it clear the crown jewel event carries special importance.
“That’s the one I’ve got circled,” he said. “But we’re focused on being strong everywhere. Running the full schedule, you’ve got to be competitive week in and week out.”
Now firmly one of the seasoned veterans in the field, Santos’ approach has evolved over time. Once guided closely by his father in the shop, he now shoulders the responsibility of car preparation himself. A transition that has strengthened his understanding of the craft.
“At first that was harder, but I feel like I’ve learned and come a long way,” Santos explained. “And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how important it is to be in good shape. I take pride in being able to compete physically, even against the younger guys.”
That mindset began to pay dividends last season.
A breakthrough victory at Toledo Speedway highlighted Santos’ 2025 campaign and marked a turning point. After a disappointing run in the Little 500, the team regrouped, made adjustments, and found consistency across multiple tracks.
“Winning Toledo was definitely the highlight,” he said. “But really from that point on, I felt like we had decent speed and were competitive everywhere we went.”
Strong finishes at Salem Speedway and Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park further reinforced that progress. At IRP in particular, Santos believes the team uncovered something valuable. Something he’s eager to build on, even if the return trip doesn’t come until the fall.
“I think we found something there last October that we can carry forward,” Santos said. “I’m excited to go back and feel like we can be even better.”
While Santos is focused on his own performance, he’s equally aware of the rising level of competition across the 500 Sprint Car Tour. With a growing list of contenders capable of winning on any given night, the margin for error continues to shrink.
“From winning a race to running eighth is a pretty fine line now,” he noted. “That’s how competitive it’s become. But I love it, it brings out the best in me.”
Behind the scenes, Santos continues to rely on the unwavering support of his family. His parents remain a constant presence at the racetrack, playing integral roles in the operation.
“I don’t think they’ve missed a race since 2019,” Santos said. “My mom helps keep everything organized, and my dad is someone I can always rely on for setup and ideas. I’d probably be lost without them.”
That same sense of loyalty extends to longtime car owner Dick Fieler, with whom Santos enters his 11th season. Their enduring partnership is a rarity in motorsports—and one Santos doesn’t take for granted.
“To have a relationship like that in racing is unbelievable,” he said. “Dick loves sprint car racing and gives me every tool to succeed. I’m very lucky to be part of it.”
With a strengthened notebook, a full-season commitment, and a renewed focus on the sport’s biggest stage, Santos’ outlook for 2026 can be summed up in a single word:
“Focused.”
High Limit Top-5 For Joel Myers Jr
PETERSEN MEDIA: Joel Myers Jr had a great showing with the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing Series on Thursday night in Arizona. Lining up 14th in the feature event, Myers Jr patiently worked his way forward and scored a 5th place finish.
“We got our week off to a great start, then just had some things not go our way on Friday and Saturday,” Myers Jr said. “After running fifth on Thursday, Friday night we got too tight in the feature and faded back a little, and on Saturday night we had a part failure end our night while running in a transfer position in our heat.”
Kicking the Cactus Classic off on Thursday night in Casa Grande, AZ, Myers Jr timed the Graham Rahal Performance/Gary Tennyson Motorsports/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 19 in 17th fastest in time trials.
Going from sixth to fifth in his heat race, Myers Jr earned the transfer into the feature event where he rolled off the starting grid from the 14th position.
Abel to run a patient race amidst some of the chaos in the early laps, Myers Jr up into eighth on the 4th lap, and then made a couple of moves to take over third on the 8th lap.
Battling for third and fourth for a majority of the race, Myers Jr flexed his muscle and went toe-to-toe with some of the best in the world.
On the 20th lap, Gio Scelzi was able to sneak by Myers Jr and put him in the fifth position, where he went on to finish.
Timing in ninth fastest in time trials on Friday night, Myers Jr again finished fifth in his heat race which put him 17th on the starting grid on this night. In the early stages of the feature, Myers Jr worked his way up into the Top-15, but as he started to battle a tight car he lost the track position that he worked so hard for and ended up 20th.
Saturday night saw Myers Jr again time in very well, as his eighth quickest effort put him in the third row of his heat race. When the heat came to life, Myers Jr settled into fifth as he appeared to be on his way to transferring directly into the feature event, but on the race’s last lap he endured a rear end failure which ultimately brought his night to an end.
“It definitely wasn’t the final night we wanted to have, but I was happy with the speed our car had all weekend,” Myers Jr said. “I really want to give a huge thank you to Graham Rahal Performance and Gary Tennyson Motorsports for all of their support the last two weeks. It was a ton of fun to represent both of them with High Limit Racing. Along with their support, I appreciate all of our marketing partners for making this all possible.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Chance Grasty Sixth Placerville Speedway’s Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA- Making the decision to head to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the track’s season opening event, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team picked up a sixth place finish as they now turn their attention back to the 2026 NARC schedule.
“It wasn’t a great night for us, but with the track staying pretty fast all night, you really needed to position yourself well, and I didn’t take advantage of a front row starting spot in our heat, and missed the redraw,” Chance Grasty said.
Timing the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in sixth fastest in time trials, the Suisun City, CA driver lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Not getting the jump he needed, Grasty slipped back into second. Holding the runner up position, Grasty locked directly into the feature event, but he didn’t qualify for the redraw and lined up ninth in the feature event.
When the 30-lap affair went green, Grasty jumped up into sixth in the first few laps of the race as the field filtered out around the ¼ mile bullring.
Despite getting into traffic quickly, Grasty held down the position as he continued to work around the speedway.
On the 27th lap, a restart changed the look of the race a bit for Grasty. When the race resumed, Grasty slipped back to seventh briefly, but was able to power his way into fifth briefly until he fell to sixth at the finish line.
“It was just one of those races where we needed to be in the first few rows,” Grasty said. “I am excited to get back to our NARC schedule this weekend in Tulare, CA.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will be in Tulare, CA on Saturday night.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-3, Wins-0, Top 5’s-0, Top 10’s-3

STEWART PRIMED FOR BOHUD RACING RETURN
To say that Michael Stewart is excited about his return to 410 Sprintcar racing with the Bohud Racing team would be quite the understatement, and the feeling is certainly mutual from everyone within the Bohud Racing team.
After spending the last six months on the sidelines with neck injuries following a crash back in September last year, Stewart is raring to go for his Sprintcar racing return aboard the NS # 14 Losi / Illawarra Truck Repairs & Spares supported Triple X car for this weekend’s Red Hot Shootout at Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway in Queensland.
“It’s been quite difficult sitting on the sidelines, especially during the busy parts of the season, but it has pushed me on to work hard on my recovery and get back out there,” the 30-year-old said, who ironically makes his return to Sprintcar racing at the track where he got injured last September.
“During my recovery, I’ve managed to get myself into the best physical shape I’ve ever been in since I began speedway racing due to getting hard into some training, and hopefully it’s going to allow me to be competitive from the outset and amongst the front runners.”
The return of Stewart to the Bohud Racing team is with a heavy heart following the recent passing of integral team member Paul Jones following a short battle with cancer.
“Paul was a massive part of the Bohud Racing team and he lived and breathed Sprintcar racing, and he is already so dearly missed by everyone within the team, and it’s going to be especially tough when we get out there and get back into racing,” expressed Michael, whose favourite saying of Paul’s was when he would say after he’d come into the pits after a good run, ‘the car looks bloody fast’.
“There is no doubt about it, Paul would want the Bohud Racing team to continue with the Sprintcar racing program, and that’s exactly what we are going to do by going out there and racing in his honour.”
The $20,000 to win Red Hot Shootout is going to be fought out this Friday and Saturday night. At last season’s running of the event, Stewart enjoyed an impressive run and ended up finishing on the podium in third.

Andy Forsberg Nets Two Top-10’s During Watsonville and Placerville’s Season Opening Evening
PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsbserg and the PHR Racing team had another busy weekend which saw the team pick up a fourth-place finish on Friday night at Watsonville Speedway and backed it up with a seventh-place finish at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.
“Friday night, we still fought that engine that has been having us rack our brains, so we decided to pull it before the feature and the replacement ran really well,” Forsberg said. “Saturday night, we had really good speed, but I just got caught behind a car that got out of shape late in the race and lost a couple spots playing the avoiding game.”
Friday night, Forsberg and company checked into Watsonville Speedway where they got off to a bit of a slow start as the Auburn, CA driver timed in 9th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Able to work his way up to a third-place finish in his heat race, Forsberg and company still were not happy with how their powerplant was behaving and made the decision to swap prior to the ‘A’ Main.
With a ton of hands-on-deck to assist in the swap, Forsberg was able to take his eighth starting position in the 25-lap feature event. When the race went green, Forsberg was extremely fast as he carved his way forward, and laid down some of the quickest laps of the race.
Powering his way up into third, Forsberg lost the spot in the closing laps and capped the night off with a fourth-place finish.
Saturday night saw the team make the trip to Placerville Speedway to take part in the track’s season opening event. With 23 cars checked into the pit area, Forsberg was the last car to time in and ended up 11th on the speed chart.
Finishing third in his heat race, Forsberg transferred into the feature event where he took the green flag from the 10thposition, on a surface that stayed very ‘grippy’ and retained a lot of moisture despite unseasonably high temperatures.
When the green flag dropped, Forsberg was able to make some big moves on the ¼ mile bullring as he worked his way through the Top-10 and into the Top-5. Getting into fifth after a couple of timely cautions, he looked to be on his way to a fifth-place finish until a car got out of shape in front of him and as he took evasive action to avoid contact, he lost a few positions and slipped back to a seventh-place finish.
“I am really proud of my team with how hard they worked all weekend long,” Forsberg said. “I am surrounded by a great group of people who love to go racing, and it makes it fun. I am little disappointed with how our night ended on Saturday, but that has nothing to do with how our car was, just a bit bummed with how the last few laps turned out for us.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 7, Wins-3, Top 5’s-5, Top 10’s-7
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will be back at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

Colby Copeland and C&M Motorsports 5th at Placerville
Speedway’s Season Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA- Climbing back aboard the C&M Motorsports No. 7C on Saturday night, Colby Copeland and team had a solid night on ‘the hill’ as the Roseville, CA driver picked up a fifth-place finish in the feature event.
“Once we got on track after qualifying it was really a solid night for the C&M Motorsports team,” Colby Copeland said. “We were just a little off, but Cody, and Bobby, and John went to work and put a really racy car under me for the rest of the night.”
With 23 cars on hand for the track’s season opening event, Copeland timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7C entry in 16th fastest in time trials.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, Copeland had a strong car under him, but the track conditions didn’t allow for much passing. Able to gain a position and finish fifth, Copeland locked directly into the 30-lap feature event where he took the green flag from the 13th starting position.
Despite the unseasonable warm temperatures that blanketed the area, the race track still held a ton of moisture all night long and created for a lightning-fast surface.
In the opening stanzas of the ‘A’, Copeland was a little ‘tight’ with a full fuel load, but as the lacks clicked off, he was able to start working his way forward. Racing his way into eighth at the race’s halfway point.
Running in eighth for 10-laps, Copeland moved into seventh with five laps to go, and on the 28th lap he took full advantage of a couple of cars washing up the track in front of him and shot into fifth.
Holding the position for the final two laps, Copeland capped the night off with a fifth-place finish.
“I am just really thankful for the opportunity to run with C&M Motorsports, and each night out has been a lot of fun,” Copeland added.
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Econo Lube-n-Tune, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland return to action April 1st at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-3, Wins-0, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-2

Dakota Albright 2nd to Open 2026 Season
PETERSEN MEDIA- Checking in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night to open up his 2026 campaign, Dakota Albright had a very fast racecar that resulted in a second-place finish.
“We have some prototype components we are trying to start the year, and they seemed to work really well on Saturday night,” Dakota Albright said. “With the track staying really fast all night, it definitely helped with what we were trying, so overall I would say it was a successful night.”
Timing in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials, Albright lined his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35JR entry up in the second row of his heat race.
In an extremely entertaining battle up front between Albright, Greg Dennett, and Justin Norton, Albright settled for a third-place finish which pitted him in the 5th starting position for the 20-lap feature event.
With the car ahead of him not firing off great when the feature came to life, Albright slipped back to seventh initially, but was able to power his way back into fourth by the end of the first lap.
With a full head of steam he powered into third on the second lap, and the top three broke away and left the rest of the field in their wake. Closing the gap in what was a non-stop affair, Albright took the checkered in third, but after post-race tech was bumped up to second officially.
“It was a fun feature event, and I wish we could have been a row better because I think we would have had something for the top-two,” Albright added. “I want to extend a big thank you to Parker Performance and Fab for their efforts on a few things for us, as well as to all of our partners for their support.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Sweep Oklahoma Weekend to Push Winning Streak to Three in a Row
Inside Line Promotions – SAPULPA, Okla. (March 23, 2026) – It’s all clicking for Big Game Motorsports, which is coming off a sweep of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series weekend in Oklahoma.
Triumphs during the Sooner Stampede on Friday at Lawton Speedway and the Creekadega 40 on Saturday at Creek County Speedway moved David Gravel into sole possession of sixth place on the World of Outlaws wins list with 123 trips to Victory Lane. It also marked the first time in his career that he’s captured three consecutive Outlaws victories.
“It’s hard to win races,” he said. “Even though you put yourself in position doesn’t mean you’re going to win. To start the year in Volusia, we were one corner away, but just didn’t get the job done. When we left Volusia we knew we were heading to a lot of short tracks. They guys are working hard and making the car better and better.”
Gravel opened Friday’s program at the bullring in Lawton by qualifying second quickest in his group. A heat race win moved him into the dash, which he won from the outside of the front row to garner the pole position for the 35-lap main event.
“We qualified solid, ran good in the heat race and won the dash,” he said. “The bottom was worn out (to start the main event). Brady (Bacon) ran the top and showed it was the place to be in the feature. I got in line behind him. I was pacing him and seeing how the race played out. We didn’t get into too much lapped traffic because of some cautions. Midway through the race Sheldon (Haudenschild) kept poking his nose in on me. I went and poked the middle. The car stuck really good and so I was like, ‘Oh, it’s taking rubber already.’ Brady had no idea and I was able to find it before he did. I controlled the race from there.”
Gravel took the lead on Lap 19 and held the point position for the remainder of the race.
On Saturday, Gravel was on top from the start of the night at Creek County Speedway. He set quick time overall and picked up a heat race win before drawing the worst number – eight – in the dash redraw.
“I felt like we weren’t probably going to win from eighth, but thought if we could get to the next row in the dash and pick off one or two cars early in the feature, it could work out,” he said. “We finished fifth in the dash and they tilled the bottom of the track so I felt that was going to be the place to be. It all worked out as planned. The top four of us were battling back and forth. I found myself in second and was able to get the lead. I lost it in traffic and was able to gain it back with a couple to go. I had to be patient there. I didn’t get overly excited and stayed the course.”
Gravel, who moved to fourth on the opening lap, gained two positions on Lap 18 before he took the lead on Lap 23. He briefly lost the top spot in traffic on Lap 33, but regained it on Lap 36 and held on throughout the final five laps.
The strong weekend increased Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 58 points.
Up next is the KC Classic this Friday at U.S. 36 Raceway near Osborn, Mo., followed by the Tallgrass Tussle on Saturday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan. Gravel was victorious at U.S. 36 Raceway and he finished second at 81 Speedway during his most recent visit to both tracks in 2024.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (March 23, 2026) – It was another competitive weekend on the road for “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports, this time joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in starts at Lawton Speedway and Creek County Speedway on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.
Although settling for feature finishes outside of the top-ten, 18th and 24th, respectively, there were plenty of shining moments, one of which a heat race victory at Lawton which sent the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native directly to the evening’s dash; he finished eighth.
The World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year contender will now move ahead, aiming at upcoming starts at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Missouri, and 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, on Friday and Saturday, March 27-28.
“Laps make progress,” Thiel, driver of Greg Wheeler’s Scott Thiel Builders, Gibbsville Cheese, Flint Trucking, Professional Plating, Richards Well Drilling, Complete Water, GRP Motorsports, No. 16C, said. “I think we’re making a lot of progress.

Madsen and Vermeer strong in Arizona; Action continues Tuesday at Vado
March 23, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (March 23, 2026) – The “Madman” Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports made the most of their three-day weekend at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Arizona, concluding the Cactus Classic triple with back-to-back top-tens. A consistent performance, nonetheless, each of Madsen’s High Limit top-tens were sixth-place outcomes, doing so on Thursday and Friday, March 19-20.
Despite slipping back in Saturday’s weekend finale, finishing 12th from seventh on the grid, Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports worked their way forward in the overall Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing championship, now seventh in the team standings with only 78 points separating themselves from Series leader Tanner Thorson.
“Super happy with our team this weekend. Things are coming together and we’re really excited about our progress,” Tye Wolfgang, Crew Chief of the TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors, No. 55 sprinter, explained. “We wanted a little bit more out of our Saturday result, but the consistency was there and the speed is obvious. We’ll put this momentum to good work beginning tomorrow night at Vado.
“The opportunity to race on live TV is really special,” Wolfgang added about Vado. “This gives our partners the extra exposure they deserve. We’re working for a great result.”

Reutzel and RSR highlight Arizona visit with Friday
podium; Vado, Route 66, Dodge City all ahead
March 23, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (March 23, 2026) – In all, it was a sound three days at Central Arizona Raceway for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), concluding the Cactus Classic featuring High Limit Racing by capturing back-to-back top-five results – a picture perfect ending after their efforts started with a roll over on Thursday, March 19.
Reutzel, ace of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, Rasmusson Service Center, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprinter, finished second and fifth in his back-to-back top-five outcomes, leading the first seven laps on Friday, March 20, before charging ahead four spots in Saturday’s Casa Grande finale.
As noted, the weekend kicked-off on a bad note, taking a tumble on Thursday due to a nowhere-to-go situation; he was scored 19th. With all results considered, even the negative, Reutzel and RSR remain well within the top-five of the High Limit Racing championship chase, currently fourth in the standings with a 34-point gap separating the Iowa team from the top.
“Not the way we wanted the weekend to start, but like we’ve shown so many times in the past, we were able to recover and put up big numbers on Friday and Saturday,” Ryan Wyant, RSR Team Manager, said. “Hats off to this entire team. Their ability to persevere never ceases to amaze us. Here’s to a big week ahead including a stop at Vado tomorrow night.”

Up and down Arizona visit for Brian Brown Racing; Vado and 81 Speedway all ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (March 23, 2026) - It was another
action-packed weekend in America’s southwest for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and
Brian Brown Racing, continuing their 2026 campaign with High Limit Racing’s
three-day Cactus Classic at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Arizona,
on March 19-21.
Brown, who’s been on the High Limit trail since their
Blackjack Bash season-opener in Vegas, highlighted his visit to the Grand
Canyon State with a 15th-place score on Thursday, battling through his
respective heat race before finishing sixth in the evening's dash.
Unfortunately, contact during the evening’s main event wreaked havoc for the
Grain Valley, Missouri, ace, ultimately forced to settle for the
aforementioned 15th-place finish.
“Definitely unloaded a faster Casey’s | FVP No. 21 in Arizona than in Las Vegas, the first night especially,” Brian Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, discussed. “Timed really well before racing through our heat race and finishing sixth in the dash. In the main, we got to third really quick, but unfortunately got turned around with some others getting involved. I felt we had a really strong run going, just unfortunate to get spun out and ending with a 15th-place finish.
“Our balance is just a little bit off yet,” Brown added. “Not quite where we need to be by the time the feature comes around. We’re working to fix that and inching closer towards it. We’re really looking forward to Vado, especially with a live broadcast on FS1. It’s a fantastic way for our partners to gain some extra exposure on live television. We don’t have the privilege to be on live television too often, but when the opportunity rises, we want to make sure we’re a part of the program.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with

New era of Michaels Mercer raceway presented by sunbelt rentals and Erme’s distributing/miller lite to begin with annual “Chiller thriller” Saturday March 28th.
By Jim Balentine
(Mercer, Pa)
A new era of michaels Mercer raceway which is celebrating it’s 75th anniversary season will kick into high gear next Saturday, March 28 with the annual running of the “chiller thriller” featuring the unsanctioned super late models in a $3000 to win event.. along with the Mercer Mercantile IMCA racesaver 305 sprints; top shelf trucking 602 dirt crate sportsman modifieds; the king forest products SCDRA mini stocks; and the crown Vic’s. Sunbelt rentals will return as a corporate sponsor as well as Erme’s distributing/miller lite.
The historic speedway which has been owned by the Michaels family since 2019 will now be in the hands of Earl and wife Michelle Michaels. The staff has been busy since the end of last season with massive upgrades to the facility and a different outlook for 2026 which will include at least 19 events.
The “chiller thriller” has been run as the opening night at Mercer since 2004 and it continues on in its 23RD year.
The super late models will be unsanctioned with an open tire rule and will follow the general guidelines of the local area late model tracks. The minimum weight will be 2300 lbs with driver. The crate late models will be permitted to run and must weigh 2200 lbs. It will pay $3000 to win and $250 to start. They will qualify for their heat race position.
There will be a $500 bonus for sweeping the chiller thriller and the ULMS show Sponsored by M&T Appliances in Bridgeville, PA.
The high horsepower full bodied machines have always put on a great show at the tricky Mercer oval with 3 abreast racing and with the red clay drivers will be racing top to bottom all around the speedway…and with no “home track advantage” it should be an exciting show to see who can be victorious in the event. A lot of buzz has already generated regarding this event with drivers showing interest from stateline, Eriez, Marion Center, Hummingbird, and Wayne county in Ohio as well as some drivers from Central Pennsylvania.
The super late models were at one time the class that opened
the season at the “chiller thriller” for many years. John Lee captured the
first super late model race since 2017 during last years chiller thriller.
Dave Hess Jr. won the super lm feature in April of 2017. Russell King took
the win in 2016. Gregg Satterlee-‘14, Rob Blair-‘13, and Mike Knight have
been the more recent winners.
Other late model drivers capturing wins at Mercer since 1994 are Dave
Scott-3; Keith Barbara -2; Alan Dellinger -2; Dick Barton -1; John mollick
-1; Nick Jones-1. The division also ran weekly for one season in 1974 when
both Canfield and Butler Speedway closed with Ralph Quarterson the lone
champion.
The IMCA racesaver 305. Sprints will have a new sponsor with Mercer Mercantile..Vivian Jones will return to defend her track championship. and more cars are scheduled to compete this year.
Top shelf trucking returns to sponsor the ever-growing 602 dirt crate sportsman modifieds. Last season’s championship came down to the very last lap of the season as Caden Petry picked up his first track title. There should be between 20 to 30 cars competing weekly at the speedway this season with no other track racing the division on Saturday nights.
King Forest products also returns as the sponsor for the SCDRA mini stocks for 2026. Last season Mercer veteran Andy Thompson captured another track championship. The division experienced some growing pains last year with the new rules and regulations however, this year should have an increased field each week.
The crown Vic’s, which were added last year to the schedule, will be back for the first of many shows as many tracks in the immediate area are now adding the division. last year drivers came as far as Hagerstown, Maryland to compete and hopefully a large car count will be there on Saturday night.
Pit gates will open at 4,
Grandstands will open at 5
Hot laps to begin at 6, with qualifying for the super late models and racing
to follow.
Grandstand admission will be $20, the new family pass with two adults up to three children under the age of 16 will be $35 and pits will be $35.
There will be an open practice Friday March 27th with a $20 pit admission. The grandstand will be closed. Pits open at 4 pm and practice will be from 5 pm-dark. It is open to any car from any speedway. Please bring your transponder number if it is different from last season to the practice.
There will be a one time $25 registration fee for the super late models and a one time $50 registration fee for all other divisions. Please bring the fee and the registration form found on the website and Facebook to the pit sign in when you pay for your pit pass at a separate window. Bring it to the Friday practice to avoid a delay on Saturday.

LIGUORI CHASES ANOTHER MUST SEE RACING TITLE IN 2026
March 20, 2026 - When three-time Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com champion Joe Liguori makes his 2026 debut, he will do so with a new team and new colors. Liguori will be chasing his fourth series title.
Liguori began driving for the Riverview, Florida based PCS Racing Team owned by Doug Kenny late last season. He ran a strong third place in the 2025 MSR finale at Montgomery, Alabama this past October to seal his third championship. With a little luck in that race, he may have had a shot to win it. The season ending weekend at Pensacola, Florida and Montgomery, Alabama was the first time Liguori had run for the team in MSR competition.
Things appear to be bright in 2026. Liguori has teamed up with the PCS Racing Team for an assault on the 2026 MSR championship.
“The last two years I never really focused on points” explains Liguori. “I just said we’re gonna run all the races. Halfway through the season is when we started points racing. I’ve tried points racing in the past at the start of the season and it kinda bit us in the tail one time. I don’t feel like having that pressure all year long. Lately I’ve just treated it like another race every time we pulled into the pits”.
Teaming up with Kenny may have increased Liguori’s chances at another title. The two are pooling their equipment together and Liguori will now have a backup car, if needed, for the MSR season that is spread over seven months.
“When it comes to equipment and funding this will probably be one of my best seasons in racing. We’ve run for other people, but at the end of the night, we always try to make sure the bills are paid. Then it’s a matter of who actually made money that night. Sometimes everybody comes down missing a little bit of money. That’s how it goes sometimes.
“This year with Doug and them, we feel like we’ve got the equipment. We have new engines in the process right now getting ready to get installed in the car for some races, and then we start the Must See Racing season. We’ll get Doug’s second car dialed in over the summer. We’ll have my car as a back-up. We’re very fortunate to be able to have three cars at our becking call.”
Liguori may not be thinking about it at the moment, but he’s slowing catching five-time MSR champion Jimmy McCune.
“I think if we get to the fifth championship, I’ll worry about trying to knock him off. But you never know. This year we may go out and never win another championship. The goal really is to just win races. I don’t think anybody will ever catch Jimmy on the wins list of forty plus wins. But it would be nice to get to the double-digit area”.
Liguori likes the 2026 MSR season but admits it’s challenging living in Indiana.
“Everything is still over four hours away from the house.
But that’s the way it goes. I live in Indiana and it’s more of a non-wing
area. The wing guys are always up north or down south. That’s what I get for
living in Indiana and wanting to be a wing guy. The schedule is spread out
enough where we can do other things. I plan on doing a few non-wing races
this year and the Race for the Million races.
“This year it will be a different look for us running the #5 for Doug Kenny
and the PCS Racing Team. Everything is in place for a good run. We’ll see
how the season plays out and we’ll try to get them a Must See Racing
championship this year” concluded Liguori.
Early Season Speed Boosting Eddie Tafoya’s Confidence – Perris This Saturday
Chino Hills, CA — March 19, 2026 — Due to some extra
early-season speed in 2026, veteran sprint car racer Eddie Tafoya Jr. is
enjoying a boost in confidence. The next test for the friendly driver will
come this Saturday night, March 21, when he competes with the Avanti Windows
and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Southern California’s Perris Auto
Speedway.
Through his first three races of 2026, Tafoya, who lives in Chino Hills, California, has qualified sixth, eighth, and seventh fastest. That has all boded well and given him and his team a boost in confidence. Those qualifying efforts, combined with good performances in his heat races (two wins and a third in his first three races), have turned into good starting positions in the main events.
“I feel really good, and pretty confident this year,” Tafoya said. “The car has been working good and the balance is good. It is a combination of preparation and experience. I am just relaxed and confident on what we have got. It has been pretty good and I am excited.”
While he has a boosted level of confidence early this season, the likeable racer still believes he has a bit of work to do.
“For sure, that is a big point I had to work on,” Tafoya said about qualifying. “I am always fast when it comes to race time. Every race this year, I have put myself in a better position. That is definitely a positive. I just have to keep doing the same thing. I have got to start strong and figure out the last 5% of the night. I am very excited and have a good base to build on.”
After starting on the pole in his first USAC/CRA race of the season at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, Tafoya led the first seven laps before finishing third.
Last week, he contested the first two nights of the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. On the first night, he started second and ran near the front for most of the race before slipping back to sixth at the end. Twenty-four hours later, he started seventh and finished sixth on a well-worn racetrack.
“It (the track) definitely got chewed up,” Tafoya recalled about the two nights in Vegas. “It was not ideal going out after the wing cars. It was pretty unique, I guess you could say. There were big pot holes, and you kind of had to figure out what you could go through or what you had to go around.”
“The top side and the bottom were way different,” he continued. “I would adjust for one, and the track would kind of move away from there. It was hard to stray away from where I had already adjusted to. I was kind of stuck with 10 to go, so I made the best of it.”
This week, instead of driving to Arizona or Nevada to compete, Tafoya will be racing at Perris, which is only 35 miles from his home. It is the same track where he won the PAS Young Guns title in 2018. It is also the track where he raced a 410 sprint car the first time in 2019, and the track he raced most often on when he won the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year title the same season.
“I feel good,” Tafoya confidently said about racing on his home track. “I feel I am in the best place coming into the start of the season that I have been in the last couple of years or so. I am kind of excited to see what kind of speed we have and what we can do.”
In 2025, Tafoya raced at Perris 10 times. He had eight top-10 finishes at the famous track. His best two outings were a fourth-place finish on September 15th and a fifth-place finish on June 21st.
Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris. For more information, visit the track website at [perrisautospeedway.com]perrisautospeedway.com or call 951-940-0134.

Cappetta Opens 2026 Season with Strong Runner-Up Finish
at Lincoln Speedway
By Emily Winslow
Abbottstown, PA – March 20, 2026
by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Ashley Cappetta kicked off her 2026 racing season in impressive fashion on Saturday, March 14, at Lincoln Speedway, with a second-place finish in the 358 Sprint Car division.
Despite an uncharacteristically low early-season car count, Cappetta and her team made the most of the opportunity, showing speed and consistency from the start of the night.
“We were a little surprised by the car count,” Cappetta said. “But it’s early in the season, it was cold, and not everyone is ready yet. We were just focused on making the most of what we had.”
While a hot lap experiment didn’t go as planned, she quickly rebounded, making the right adjustments for the remainder of the night. After a decent pill draw, Cappetta earned a strong feature starting position through her heat race performance.
“I knew after the heat race what we needed to change,” she said. “The car felt good, and I knew the track would get more challenging as the night went on.”
In the feature, Cappetta showcased both speed and composure, avoiding multiple incidents — including an early pileup and a close call with a spinning car — to remain in contention throughout the race.
“It was definitely intense,” Cappetta said. “There were a couple of really close moments that could have ended our night, but we were able to get through them.”
Battling near the front for the duration of the feature, Cappetta overcame a significant challenge as her brakes faded in and out, forcing her to adapt her driving style, especially on restarts.
“I didn’t have brakes consistently, which made it tough,” she explained. “Restarts were tricky, but in a way they helped because I could work the brakes and keep them somewhat there. On that kind of track, you really need them.”
Despite the setback, Cappetta held strong to secure a second-place finish — a result that carries extra meaning for both her and her team.
“It feels really good to start the season like this,” she said. “My dad puts a lot of work into this car, especially over the winter while I’m focused on my business. I was honestly just as happy for him as I was for myself.”
The strong opening night also carried emotional significance, as Cappetta dedicated the performance to her late grandmother.
“With everything going on, it meant a lot to have a run like that for her,” she added.
Off the track, Cappetta also expressed appreciation for the support shown at her annual preseason fundraiser, which saw a strong turnout despite a busy holiday weekend.
“We really appreciate everyone who came out,” she said. “It’s always great to kick off the season with the people who support us.”
Looking ahead, Cappetta plans to focus her 2026 schedule
primarily on Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, with additional
appearances at Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway.
ABOUT ASHLEY CAPPETTA
Ashley Cappetta is a second-generation racer following her uncle’s footsteps. She started her racing career in 2012. It was her first year piloting her race car but certainly not her first exposure to the sport. She was introduced to racing by her father, who was Steve Smith’s crew chief. Her uncle, Rob Cappetta was also involved in the sport driving his own #89 sprint car and went on to be a gasman for Robert Yates Racing. Ashley is making her own way by being the first female in her family to set center stage as a driver. Ashley has had a couple of years of sprint car experience with various teams, starting out as a crew member doing such simple tasks as scrapping mud to advancing her skills into doing maintenance for her own race car. Ashley showing her success with not only her abilities working on her race car but also by winning a Hard Charger Award in only her first season racing. Ashley feels she has the best of both worlds by not only knowing how to race but by having the knowledge of the mechanics and being able to provide detailed feedback to her team. Her goal is to continue to grow as a racer and work her way up through the sprint car division.

Kody Hartlaub Sets Sights on 2026 Success with New
Partners
York Haven, PA – March 19, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Kody Hartlaub kicked off his third season at the wheel of a winged 410 sprint car on Sunday at BAPS Motor Speedway. In 2024, the East Berlin, PA driver earned Rookie of the Year honors at both Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways. In 2025, he captured his first 410 victory at Williams Grove.
What does 2026 hold for the 30-year-old rising star of the sport? Time will tell, but odds are it will be worth watching.
NO RUST HERE
Hartlaub showed no signs of rust during Sunday’s opener at BAPS Motor Speedway, timing 4th in his group to get his night off to a strong start. Unfortunately, a mechanical issue in the heat race led to a DNF.
After making repairs, he was able to rebound in the B-Main, driving from 9th to 3rd to transfer into the 30-lap A-main. He continued to pass cars in the main event, driving from 20th to 13th to close out the night.
“We had a good car right out of the gate, so we feel good about all the work we put in over the winter. It felt good to bounce back by passing 13 cars in the B and the A to salvage our night.” Hartlaub commented.
“The car was good enough to be a top-five or top-ten car if we had not had the issue in the heat race, so we’ll take that, regroup this week, and get ready for Port Royal Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway next weekend. Huge thanks to the partners who make this possible.”

PLAN OF ATTACK
When asked about his goals for his third 410 season, Hartlaub’s sense of humor was front and center.
“Don’t suck,” he said with a laugh.
Hartlaub added that he and the team expect to run well at places they are familiar with and have logged many laps.
“We measure success based on being prepared and putting our best effort forward. If we use the notes and experience we have at the familiar tracks and we do our best each night, then we feel good. The results, the wins, will come if we do those things.” Harlaub explained.
Turning the conversation to the new places the team plans to visit in 2026, Hartlaub said the goal is simply to learn and make gains each time.
“Racing new tracks will make us better. It will challenge us to apply our experience to adapt and learn. We are really looking forward to that aspect of the season because we know it will help us continue to improve as a team to establish ourselves as a contender every time we unload.” Hartlaub shared.
Hartlaub will see plenty of familiar tracks and some new ones this season. The team plans to race in the new PA Posse 410 Sprint Series, PA Speedweek, and the regional World of Outlaws shows, bringing their schedule to nearly 60 races.

RACE FOR THE MILLION TO SUPPORT CHILDREN’S DREAM FUND
March 19, 2026 - Race For The Million founder Richard Fieler recently
announced that he intends to donate money from entries received for his
inaugural event at Five Flags Speedway to JJ Dutton’s efforts to raise money
for the Children’s Dream Fund Organization.
“The Race For The Million is pleased to announce that the Children’s Dream
Fund will be its official charity,” said Richard Fieler.” The Dream Fund is
closely affiliated with sprint car racing. Driver / owner JJ Dutton has made
that happen, and it is much appreciated.
“The fund will receive $25 from every entry from Race For The Million’s
Pensacola event. Currently there are 56 entries. We will present the money
at the Pensacola event to Dutton personality to go towards his goal of
raising additional money from his Children’s Dram Fund Weekend races in
October.
“I think JJ has done a good job and he’s putting some good races on at
Montgomery and Pensacola in the fall. People like his races and they go to
them and he’s able to raise money for the Children’s Dream Fund with them.
“Secondarily I think it’s a really good charity. We all go through it with
parents and grand parents with Cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and so forth.
You’re pretty much with no hope in those deals. It seems to prove true, but
not always. We see how hard that is for an adult to manage. For kids it must
be terribly difficult to manage. Theres nothing in their brain that’s taught
them how to manage it. For them to have something that gives them hope and
to do something totally outside of the box, is a marvelous gift to give
somebody” finished Fieler.
The Children’s Dream Fund Organization is a non-profit organization that
believes that every child facing a life-threatening illness deserves the
chance to dream, and to see that dream come true. Since 1981, they’ve
created joyful, personalized experiences for children across West Central
Florida, from dream vacations, celebrity meet-and-greets, to meaningful
gifts. Each dream offers a break from treatment, a boost of hope, and
lasting memories for families.
Dutton, whose daughter Sadie was once a Children’s Dream Fund recipient,
holds the organization near and dear to his heart. He annually promotes the
Children’s Dream Fund winged sprint car event with the goal of raising money
and bringing awareness to the organization. This year’s events will be part
of the Must See Racing visit October 2-3, 2026. at Five Flags Speedway and
Montogomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama.
“When I found out what Dick (Fieler) planned to do I realized how blessed we
are that he wanted to do that for us” stated Dutton. “He knows how important
that organization is to my heart. Dick’s a class act guy. I was excited for
the Dream Fund and the kids of the Dream Fund. They will get to experience a
good little vacation or get away with that money.
“It’s really great knowing all the drivers contributed to it. I wanna thank
all the drivers and Dick Fieler himself for this generous contribution. I
will be competing in this event myself. I might even have the Children’s
Dream Fund car that I will run in October on display that Weekend” concluded
Dutton.
The Race For The Million will hold its inaugural event in less than four
weeks at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida April 10. The four-race
series will continue throughout the summer with a total purse and points
fund of one million dollars. The series is the first of its kind to feature
substantial money for a winged pavement sprint car series.

SOONER STATE SENDOFF: Doney-Lawson Racing to open 2026 with World of
Outlaws double in Oklahoma
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 19, 2026
ODESSA, Mo. (March 19, 2026) – The time has come for Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars to open their 2026 campaign, and what a way it will begin. If all goes according to plan, and if Mother Nature stays calm, Odessa, Missouri’s Xavier Doney will open action with World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts at Lawton Speedway in Lawton, Oklahoma, and Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.
With much of their focus stapled to the 2026 POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League campaign, DLR will still make the time to dip and dive elsewhere, the aforementioned weekend included. In fact, Doney-Lawson Racing will return to the national-touring spotlight the following weekend, planning to rejoin the Greatest Show On Dirt in Missouri and Kansas, or with High Limit Racing during their stop in Dodge City.
The POWRi 410 schedule – a slate that the Doney Family is certainly no stranger to – will activate Easter Weekend, headlining a doubleheader at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday, April 3-4. Xavier Doney finished third in the POWRi standings in 2025, earning 19 top-ten finishes in 24 contests, two of which resulting in victory. Natalie Doney, ready to take on her second, full season in the seat of a 410 sprinter, finished 12th in the POWRi standings, working her way into 15 main events.
Natalie Doney, Xavier’s teammate and younger sister, will not participate in the team’s first two weekends of competition, launching her slate with POWRi in early April.
To learn more about the team’s upcoming starts at Lawton and Creek County, visit the World of Outlaws online at www.woosprint.com.
ON DECK:
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will launch
their 2026 season with back-to-back World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
starts at Lawton Speedway in Lawton, Oklahoma, and Creek County Speedway in
Sapulpa, Oklahoma, on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21.

Solid Weekend: Tyler Ross Collects Podium and Top Five in
Pennsylvania
By mraddicted2dirt on Mar 17, 2026 10:25 am
York Haven, PA – March 17, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Following some opening day challenges at Lincoln Speedway’s Ice Breaker last month, Tyler Ross has rebounded for three consecutive solid runs of 7th, 3rd, and 5th in A-main competition to kick off the Central Pennsylvania sprint car season.
The opening weeks of Ross’s season continue the strong momentum he built in the closing month of the 2025 campaign.
A GOOD SIGN
Ross got right down to business Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Speedway by racing from his 3rd starting spot to a runner-up finish in his heat race to earn a spot in the redraw.
That effort paid off when he drew the pole for the 30-lap A-main. Ross took command at the drop of the green and held a comfortable lead throughout the first half of the race. Meanwhile, Freddie Rahmer was working his way into position to take a shot at the top spot.
Rahmer finally made his move for the lead in traffic on lap 16. Ross attempted to turn back under the No.51 but couldn’t get back by.
“I knew he (Rahmer) was coming. When you are leading, you don’t know where to run. I was making laps, trying to take the air off him or break his momentum, but he was just a little bit better than us late in the race.” Ross explained.
“It feels good to run well early in the season. Traditionally, we are slow starters. Hopefully, this is a sign of good things to come.”
“The first week at the Ice Breaker, we just weren’t sharp. It took all of us a week to get back in a rhythm and shake off the rust. The last few races we have been on point and having fun.”
STAYING STRONG
Ross continued to show speed the next day at BAPS Motor Speedway’s 410 sprint car opener, leading every lap and topping Lance Dewease and Anthony Macri to take the win from the pole of his heat race.
From the 5th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main, Ross was racey again, climbing to 3rd by lap 14. He held a firm grip on the podium spot until late in the race. He slipped back two spots in the final four laps but was able to bring home a top-five finish.
“The car went away a little late in the race, but with some fine-tuning, we will be ok.” Ross shared.
“We are happy to be up front running with the teams we know we are capable of running with. We are a small, family-owned team, and we are right there with the guys who do this for a living. We are going to keep digging and putting ourselves in position to win, and the wins will come.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Ross’s 2026 season schedule will likely mirror last year’s, with a primary focus on Lincoln Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway, while also venturing to Grandview, Bridgeport, and Port Royal on occasion.
Fans should follow “Ross Racing 5” on Facebook to keep up
with schedule updates and news throughout Tyler’s season!

POWRi Championship Contenders and Early-Season Standouts Target Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Debut
Belleville, IL. (3/18/26) - The POWRi National and West Midget Leagues continue building early-season momentum entering the highly anticipated debut of the Lil Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, presented by Milestone Home Services, with pre-entry interest stacking the bill of top-notch competitors heading to the DFW area on March 19-21.
Teams will get their first look at the facility with a practice session on Thursday, followed by two full points-paying events on Friday and Saturday that could play an early role in shaping the championship landscape.
With the season beginning to take form, several drivers enter the weekend firmly in the early POWRi National points conversation, including the defending league champion Jacob Denney, the Keith Kunz Motorsports standout already having notched a pair of feature wins on the year and sitting comfortably in second place in the standings.
Keeping pace amongst the yearly front-runners, former POWRi Micro Champion Kale Drake currently sits fourth in the yearly standings as 2023 National Midget Champion Karter Sarff circles inside the current top five after impressive showings at Port City.
A strong group of drivers continues to apply pressure in the standings as the POWRi Midget Leagues head to Texas, including Keith Kunz Motorsports teammate Gavin Miller alongside Colton Robinson, each remaining within reach of the points pinnacle as the championship battle begins to take shape.
Proving the strength of the POWRi National Midget rookie of the year class, Chase McDermand Racing unloads a pair of front-running first-years, including Drew Sherman and Mack Leopard, as Overland Park, Kansas wheelman Hank Soares and Nesbit, Mississippi talent Chase Howard join the 2-Fellas Racing stable in the Texas debut.
The weekend also presents a prime opportunity for drivers seeking to gain ground early in the season, including Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Brody Wake, Ryan Padgett, and Ethan Mitchell, each aiming to capitalize on the two-night format.
Additional entries continue to round out the competitive field, including Cullen Hutchison, who will campaign the full POWRi season in the Sam Johnson Racing entry as he looks to make an early-season impression in national midget competition.
Consistency across multiple nights will be key at a new venue, placing added importance on POWRi West Midget League drivers such as two-time champion Andrew Felker, current point leader Kyle Jones, Cooper Miller, Pierce Urbanosky, eleven-time victor Trey Marcham, and Brylee Kilmer, who continue to look for strong weekends to climb the order of competition.
Adding even more names to the entrant list for 2026, POWRi National and West Midget Leagues will welcome the addition of a trio of Kevin Ramey Racing drivers, with Dylan Ramey and Chance Crum making their season debuts, as well as Rylan Gray joining forces with the team for the Texas two-step weekend.
Key Storylines Heading to Texas
The upcoming weekend also carries historical significance as the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues make their debut at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, marking the first time the series has competed at the Texas Motor Speedway facility. The event also signals a return to the Lone Star State for the series for the first time since 2021, bringing national-level midget competition back to Texas in front of a new audience.
With a new venue comes added intrigue, as teams will work quickly during Thursday’s practice session to adapt to the unique characteristics of the freshly prepared dirt surface before two championship-paying nights begin on Friday and Saturday. Track position, adaptability, and consistency across both nights will likely prove crucial in determining who leaves Texas with momentum in the early-season standings.
Another developing storyline centers around the championship picture, as several drivers currently positioned near the top of the POWRi National standings will not be in attendance, opening the door for others to gain valuable ground in the points race. With multiple contenders capable of capitalizing on the opportunity, the Texas weekend could play a major role in shaping the early championship outlook.
Drivers to Watch
Jacob Denney enters the weekend as one of the early favorites, already claiming two feature victories this season and sitting second in POWRi National points. The Keith Kunz Motorsports standout has quickly established himself as one of the drivers to beat whenever the green flag drops.
Kale Drake continues to build momentum in the RMS Racing entry after a consistent start to the year, positioning himself firmly inside the championship conversation.
Former POWRi National Midget Champion Karter Sarff remains another strong contender, carrying early-season speed into the Texas weekend with Trifecta Motorsports.
Representing the depth of the Keith Kunz Motorsports lineup, Gavin Miller will look to continue climbing the standings with another strong performance as the young driver gains experience at the national level.
On the POWRi West side, current point leader Kyle Jones enters the weekend aiming to translate his early-season momentum into results against the combined National and West fields.
Veteran competitor Trey Marcham, an eleven-time POWRi winner, also remains a driver to watch as his experience and consistency make him a threat whenever the series visits new venues.
Drivers such as Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Ryan Padgett, Ethan Mitchell, and Cullen Hutchison will also look to capitalize on the two-night format while attempting to gain valuable ground early in the championship standings.

“We’re focusing on quality over quantity,” he said. “We want to do the best we can when we show up. We’ll go to each race with the intention of being as fast as we can and growing our program. I’m optimistic about this season.”
Scelzi enters the season riding an 11-year winning streak, including multiple triumphs during each of the last nine seasons.

Tribute to Al Hinds christens new Placerville season on Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is prepared to open its 61st season of competition this Saturday by honoring a man that had a key role in making it all possible, with the 23rd annual “Tribute to Al Hinds” tackling the red clay.
Divisions set to christen the Berco Building Materials/ Hoosier Tires championship season on March 21st will include the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks, Ltd. Late Models and the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints.
The Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars will offer $2,500-to-win/ $250-to-start the feature on Saturday.
Live music and Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour takes place from 4-6pm, while magician/ juggler Cody Ebert will be on hand to entertain the masses from 4:30-6pm.
The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many.
Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. He took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field.
The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life, he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport.
The inaugural Tribute to Al Hinds was captured by Roger Crockett, while last season saw Andy Forsberg snag his fourth triumph in the event.
Track champions last season with the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks and Ltd. Late Models included Modesto’s Tony Gomes, Oakley’s Nick Baldwin and Yuba City’s Rod Oliver respectively.
Livermore’s Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories last season. The division will be on hand several times once again this year.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during the Tribute to Al Hinds will be General Admission on Saturday March 21st, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.

Andy Forsberg Back In Marysville Raceway Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making a return trip to Marysville, CA on Saturday night to shake down a new engine the team acquired over the off season that they still aren’t happy with, the engines still hounded the team but Forsberg was able to grab his third win of the season.
“We have this engine we picked up that we just can’t quite get figured out,” Andy Forsberg said. “We came back up here to try and get it ironed out and everything we tried doesn’t seem to help or hurt it, so it’s been a bit frustrating, but it was a fun night of racing and great to get another win for this group.”
With 17 cars checked into the pit area on Saturday night, Forsberg timed the PHR/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply No. 92 in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver worked his way to a second place finish which again put him in the nightly redraw. Finally having a bad draw in 2026, the five pill placed Forsberg in the third row for the start of the feature event.
When the ‘A’ went green, Forsberg worked his way in fourth right away as he was patient in a race that saw quite a few stoppages. Working his way into third on the 12th lap, Forsberg jumped into second two laps later and began to pressure Billy Wallace for the race’s top spot.
In traffic, Forsberg was able to make his move on the 20th lap, as he took the lead and never looked back. Leading the rest of the way, Forsberg was able to secure his third win of the season in just his team’s fifth start.
“Like I said, with the engine issues we are trying to diagnose, this team worked hard all night long,” Forsberg said. “After the races we were able to make a few laps with a new tank and we think that was our issue, but wont know for sure until we get back racing.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 5, Wins-3, Top 5’s-4, Top 10’s-5

Non Wing Runner Up Highlights Las Vegas, NV Trip for Tanner Carrick
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making the trip to Las Vegas, NV to do double duty with USCS
and High Limit over the weekend, Tanner Carrick picked up a pair of Non-Wing
top five finishes and made some big improvements on their winged car from
last year’s trip.
“We had a great non winged car all weekend,” Tanner Carrick
said. “Our winged car we were a little off, but we were in a much better
spot than we were last year so that was definitely a positive.”
In non winged action on Thursday night, Carrick timed in
fastest in his qualifying flight, which then put him in the third row of his
heat race. From the fifth starting spot, Carrick was able to showcase his
speed as he worked his way forward and tallied a heat race win.
Lining up fourth in the feature event, Carrick spent his
night battling the likes of Ryan Bernal, Brady Bacon, and Ricky Lewis as the
leaders sliced and diced around the tricky surface.
When the race drew to a close, Carrick closed it out with a
fourth-place finish.
In High Limit action on Thursday night, Carrick got off to a
slower start than he desired as he timed in 15th fastest in his qualifying
flight and ran seventh in his heat.
Forced into the ‘B’, Carrick worked his way forward from
seventh and secured the fourth and final transfer position into the feature
event. Starting 24th, Carrick wasn’t able to get going from the tail of the
field and finished 24th on this night.
Friday night saw another night of double-duty for the
Lincoln, CA driver and he continued to shine in non-wing action as he timed
in fourth fastest in his qualifying group and again raced his way to a heat
race win.
Lining up on the front row of the USCS feature event,
Carrick jumped out to the early lead and looked very strong out front. While
he led the way, behind him Ryan Bernal was closing in. Able to fend off
Bernal for a few laps, Carrick coughed up the lead with 10-to-go.
Slipping back into second, Carrick would chase after Bernal
though he wasn’t able to close in on him as he capped the non-wing portion
of the trip with a second-place finish.
Friday in High Limit action, Carrick got off to a much
better start than he did on Thursday as he timed in ninth fastest in time
trials, and pocketed a fifth-place finish in heat race competition.
Transferring directly into the feature event, Carrick lined
up 18th on the starting grid. Jumping into 16th as soon as the race came to
life, Carrick settled into and worked around the slick surface.
Holding the spot all race long, Carrick closed his night out
with a 16th place finish.
With the non-wing division not on Saturday’s schedule,
Carrick was solely in action with High Limit as he got the night kicked off
by timing in eighth fastest in time trials.
Again, finishing fifth in his heat, Carrick moved into the
feature event where he ended up with an 18th place finish.
“It was a busy weekend, and I am thankful for everyone that
made it possible,” Carrick noted. “Happy with the progress we made in the
winged car, and looking forward to our CA schedule starting to ramp up.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California
Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson
Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A
Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 8, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 3, Top 10’s: 4
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick will be idle this weekend before
returning to action on the 28th in Tulare, CA.

Whittall ready for PA Posse 410 Sprint Series sendoff at Port Royal
Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 16, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (March 16, 2026) – Although his season’s first start on American soil ended shy of expectation, scored 16th in Saturday’s visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall is already back in focus, set to kick-off the PA Posse Sprint Series with a doubleheader at Port Royal Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, March 21-22.

The end result wasn’t what we were after, but we were able to shake some things down and do a little prep work for Port Royal,” Justin Whittall said. “More than ready to get back to the ‘Speed Palace.’ We were fortunate to win a championship there last year and we’re positive momentum will be on our side.”

Scotty Thiel sets compass for Oklahoma

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (March 16, 2026) – The “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports are heading for Oklahoma, ready to rejoin the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in a two-day invasion, all of which beginning Friday, March 20, in Lawton Speedway’s Sooner Stampede. From there, the Greatest Show On Dirt will move to Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, on Saturday, March 21. The Creekadega 40 will feature the Outlaws at Creek County for the first time.
Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports will roll into Oklahoma fresh off of a visit to Kennedale Speedway Park in Kennedale, Texas. The Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native finished 17th the first night; Saturday’s finale was eventually postponed due to a fatal incident involving a Series official.
“First and foremost, our hearts are with everyone at Kennedale, as well as the World of Outlaws. What happened was tragic, as well as heartbreaking, and we’re praying for everyone affected,” Thiel was quick to note. “All we can do is keep our heads up and keep powering forward. We’ll work towards a fresh start on Friday at Lawton.”

IT’S HERE! TMS Midget Championship RACE WEEK March 20-21! Great Forecast!
Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (3/16/26). This weekend the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Dirt Track will light up for the first time ever to host the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League with the running of the Texas Motor Speedway Midget Nationals, held Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st. Current weather forecasts show dry and warm weather conditions throughout the event weekend.
Advance online ticket sales are available by clicking https://www.powri.com/schedule/?i=31369 and there you can select which night(s) you would like to purchase advance tickets, or pit passes for. Just scroll down the schedule list and click on the ‘tickets’ icon for the TMS event. You can also choose to purchase your event tickets upon arrival at the speedway on race night.
In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself is attracting the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Since last week’s update, a pair of Indiana drivers (Rylan Gray and Tony
Helton), and a Kansas driver (Hank Soares) have joined the list of Midget
drivers that plan to compete in this event.
Drivers can get registered by emailing Talin at talin@t2promotions.net
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS plus several national invaders, as there are very few other midget and non-winged events scheduled nationally this particular weekend. Paired with the fact that very few of these drivers have yet to compete on the recently upgraded and converted Lil’ TMS dirt track, it will make for even more excitement.
Including the new entries, now 14 states are currently represented in the list of expected drivers, including Jacob Denney, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Colton Robinson, Karter Sarff, Chase McDermand, Brandon Carr, Zach Daum, Alex Karpowicz, Trey Marcham, Andrew Felker, Alex Sewell, Kris Carroll, Pierce Urbanosky, Ray Brewer, Branigan Roark, Zane Lawrence, Shaun Shapel, Drew Sherman, Mack Leopard, Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Cooper Miller, Kale Drake, Brylee Miller, Kyle Jones, Tyler Edwards, Thomas Meseraull, Brody Wake, Drake Edwards and Ryan Padgett. A large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. More driver entries are expected when race night kicks off.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
The current weather forecast shows a dry period this week and temps around 90°, which will make for stellar racing and viewing.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).
A special event info hub has been built to keep fans and teams informed of the latest event information.

O'Gara Aims to Return to Victory Lane in 2026
As the yourBigPlans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour prepares for another competitive season, Kyle O'Gara and the No. 67 team have spent the offseason focused on one simple objective: getting back to Victory Lane.
For O’Gara, the winter months have been anything but quiet. The team has essentially started from scratch in preparation for the upcoming season.
“It’s been a rebuilding year,” O’Gara said. “Everything from the car, ground up, was a fresh rebuild. The engine is still at the engine builder after we hurt it at the last IRP race. We’re heading into the season as fresh as possible with every bit of our team.”
While the car is being refreshed, much of the work has
centered on preparation and development. Crew chief Brad Larson has been
busy refining the team’s chassis and working through new shock packages as
the team looks to find even more speed in 2026.
Strong Performance Despite Tough Luck
On paper, the 2025 season may not reflect the true performance of the No. 67 team.
“On paper it looked like our worst year ever with the 500 Sprint Car Tour,” O’Gara explained. “But realistically, if you take a couple part failures out of it, I think we had a championship year going.”
Mechanical issues repeatedly disrupted what could have been a breakthrough season. Despite that misfortune, O’Gara still managed several standout performances, including a podium finish in the prestigious Unified Group Services Little 500 along with four additional podium runs during the season.
“We just couldn’t get away from the gremlins,” O’Gara said.
“But I thought it was our best on-track performance that we’ve ever had.”
Breakthrough Moments in Michigan
Several of those strong runs came during the Michigan swing, including an impressive showing at Owosso Speedway. The race marked the first time non-wing sprint cars competed at the facility, and O’Gara’s team came prepared.
“We came off the trailer firing on all cylinders and went quick time,” O’Gara said. “That was our first ever pole with the 500 Tour.”
After starting near the front, O’Gara quickly worked his way into second place and pressured race winner Tyler Roahrig late in the race.
“We really had a great long-run car,” O’Gara said. “We just kept getting yellows at the wrong time.”
Despite the runner-up finish, O’Gara left impressed with the facility and eager to return.
“That was an incredible place and a great racetrack,” he said.
Another track where the team made noticeable gains was Berlin Raceway. O’Gara remembers his first visit to the high-banked oval as a difficult experience.
“Our first race there we ran eighth or ninth and were a lap down,” O’Gara said. “I had never been more miserable in a race car.”
Since then, the team has steadily improved. O’Gara has now scored multiple podium finishes at Berlin and believes the gap to the front continues to shrink.
“To go from being a lap down to having eyes on the 56 car (Tyler Roahrig) at the end of the race shows how much progress we’ve made,” he said.
Still, the team isn’t satisfied.
“We’re getting closer, but we’re not winning races there
yet. So we still have work to do.”
Focus Shifts to Winning
For 2026, O’Gara and Larson have made a conscious decision to simplify their goals.
“We have to get the 67 car back to Victory Lane,” O’Gara said. “Brad and I have talked a lot about that this offseason. We’re putting the championship out of our minds and focusing on wins.”
While one victory would be satisfying, O’Gara believes the team is capable of more.
“I’d be happy with one win,” he said. “But I’d be frustrated if we only got one. With the package we have and the people around us, I think we can win multiple races.”
O’Gara also admits his driving style has evolved over the years. Experience, particularly at Anderson Speedway has helped transform him into a more assertive racer.
“I feel like I’m pretty aggressive nowadays,” he said. “If there’s a hole in front of me, I’m going to take it. We don’t go to the racetrack to run second.”
Part of what makes those wins so difficult is the depth of talent across the tour.
“The competition level just keeps increasing,” O’Gara said.
Drivers like Kody Swanson, Bobby Santos III, Dakoda Armstrong, and Roahrig headline a field that O’Gara believes features as many as eight potential winners every race.
“I think there are six to eight cars that can win any
night,” he said. “That just shows how strong the competition is.”
Earning Respect
During the tour’s media day, drivers were asked to vote for the most underrated competitor in the series. O’Gara finished tied with rising driver Jackson Macenko.
For O’Gara, the recognition means a lot.
“I just hope it means we have the respect around the pit area that I think we deserve,” he said. “We’ve proven ourselves over the years, but we still have a long way to go.”
With a rebuilt car, renewed focus, and plenty of motivation, the No. 67 team enters the 2026 season determined to turn strong performances into the one result that matters most.
Victory Lane.

Brown with tough luck in Vegas trio, to follow High Limit to Central Arizona
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (March 16, 2026) - Brian Brown and Brian
Brown Racing rolled into Sin City with high hopes and big goals, but
unfortunately, it was all tough luck for “Blackjack” in High Limit Racing’s
2026 season opener at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, qualifying
for one of three main events contested.
Dubbed the Blackjack Bash, the three-day contest featured
some of the nation’s most talented open wheel aces, all of whom chasing the
$21,000 payday up for grabs Saturday night. Despite the aforementioned tough
luck, scored 24th in his only A-Main appearance of the weekend, the Grain
Valley, Missouri, native and multi-time Knoxville Raceway Track Champion is
eager and ready to continue, set to rejoin High Limit for three days in
Arizona.
“Just a rough weekend all the way around in Vegas. We had
high hopes heading into the event, especially when considering our past
results. We were confident in our game plan, hoping we would unload really
close to where we needed to be. Unfortunately, we were just a little off all
weekend. Getting buried after qualifying can hurt your effort in a hurry,”
Brian Brown, ace of the Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane
Rental, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer,
Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 said. “But, that’s the great thing about
racing…done on Saturday, but you get to try again on Thursday. We’re going
to take what we learned and put our best foot forward. The season is young,
and we’ve had some solid results thus far, we just need to make sure we go
over the car and be fully ready when we head into Casa Grande.
“We’d also like to send out our most heartfelt condolences
to the family of Billy Hurt, who lost his life in a tragic accident at
Kennedale Speedway while responding to an accident, as well as Jerry, a
World of Outlaws official who was also hurt in the same incident at
Kennedale,” Brown added. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those families.
Those guys put their life on the line to keep us safe and they can never be
thanked enough.”

Adapting and Improving: Lattomus on His 2026 Racing Plans
Lewes, DE – March 13, 2026
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus closed out his rookie 410 sprint car campaign last season by making his first High Limit Racing and World of Outlaws features at Bridgeport and New Egypt in New Jersey, then returned to familiar turf in Pennsylvania to record a top-ten finish in Lincoln Speedway’s Final 50.
In 2026, he returns for his sophomore season, aiming to continue that momentum, once again at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91.
THE FOCUS
Lattomus is approaching the 2026 season with continued improvement in mind. To do that, he plans to use a formula that has worked for him at every level he has competed at on his way up to 410 sprint cars.
The Lewes, DE driver has always challenged himself by running a variety of tracks and racing against the best competition he can find.
The team will make the PA Posse Sprint Series a primary focus, but also plans to do some traveling.
“The PA Posse series will keep us moving around to a lot of different tracks, but we are also looking at following the Outlaws and High Limit on their New York swings, hitting part of Ohio Speedweek, and maybe adding a couple of trips to Lernerville Speedway in Western, PA,” Lattomus explained.
“I think racing at a variety of tracks helps me shorten the learning curve when I get in a new race car. It helps me learn more about the car, what it needs, and how to drive it compared to running the same track every week.”
Some may agree, some may disagree with his thinking, but there’s no arguing that it has worked for him at every level of racing so far in his young career.
The tentative schedule for the 19-year-old Lattomus and team will take them to at least four or five different regions and numerous tracks in pursuit of seat time and experience.
THE GOALS
The schedule and the venues will provide the opportunities, but what are the things Lattomus and his team will aim for to continue to improve?
“One of the big things we talked about in our meetings over the winter was communications.” Lattomus shared.
“These cars were new to me last year. The difference from 358 sprint cars was enough that sometimes I wasn’t sure how the car should feel, so it was hard for me to explain to Kyle (Reinhardt) and the guys what I needed. I got a lot better as the season went on, and I need to continue that this year. We agreed we can all do better and that will be a key to getting to the next level.”
Lattomus plans to focus on improving his qualifying efforts as a foundational piece of reaching the team’s goals.
“We have a lot of big races on the schedule, and your qualifying laps are the key to those nights. We want to put ourselves in a position to compete from the beginning of the night.” Lattomus said.
“The competition is too tough to dig out of an early hole from a poor qualifying effort.”
Another goal the team has is more consistency. It sounds cliché, and of course, it’s something every team strives for, but it’s true that consistency is key. Better qualifying efforts and improved communications are a great first step toward achieving consistency, but Lattomus knows part of the formula also involves improved decision-making behind the wheel. He believes that goes hand-in-hand with gaining experience, something he clearly showed to be true late in 2025 after he had a lot more laps under his belt.
Lattomus has his sights set on continuing to make more ‘big shows’ as he did late in 2025. He also believes he and his team are capable of finding victory lane at least once in 2026.
“I know we have the equipment to win, and I know I’m capable. If we keep doing the work, it will come. I believe in my team and in myself.” Lattomus commented.

Collie Scores Career-Best Second For Sexton Gatlin Racing At Imperial
SGR rebounds from opening night setbacks; Brent Sexton and son Grant headed to Las Vegas for USCS opener
Lakeside, CA — March 10, 2026 — After a difficult start to the weekend for Sexton Gatlin Racing, sophomore lightning sprint car driver Braydin Collie delivered the team’s best result of the weekend with his career-best second-place finish in Saturday’s 20-lap California Clash main event at Imperial Valley Raceway.
This week, the focus shifts to Nevada as Brent Sexton and his youngest son, Grant Sexton, head to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Thursday and Friday for the season-opening races of the Ultimate Sprint Car Series.
Last week, SGR brought four drivers and three cars to the famed Imperial Valley Raceway in southeast California. The plan called for Brent Sexton and Collie to race their own cars both nights, while Brent’s oldest son Dalton would drive the team’s third car on Friday with Grant scheduled to take over on Saturday.
Unfortunately, Dalton’s night ended early on Friday due to a chain issue. Things started much better for Collie and Brent, who qualified ninth and 12th respectively in the 19-car field. The outlook improved even more in their eight-lap heat race when Brent drove to victory with Collie finishing second.
For the 20-lap main event, Brent started on the pole with Collie rolling off seventh. Brent quickly settled into second while Collie held position in seventh. The race remained steady until lap nine when Collie tipped over in turn two. The young driver was uninjured, but the beautiful #44 machine was finished for the night.
Sexton appeared headed for a runner-up finish until lap 14 when his car suddenly puffed smoke, forcing him out of the race. Brent was ultimately credited with a 10th-place finish while Collie was scored 13th.
Twenty-four hours later, Sexton and Collie returned for round two with a new teammate joining the lineup. Rising star Braden Chiaramonte climbed aboard the team’s #3C entry.
Collie led the SGR trio in qualifying with the third-fastest time in the 18-car field. Chiaramonte qualified sixth and Sexton ninth. The team again performed well in the heat race competition. For the second night in a row, Brent won his heat race with Collie right behind in second. Chiaramonte placed third in his heat.
In the smoother-running 20-lap feature, Collie and Sexton started side-by-side in row two while Chiaramonte lined up 10th. Chiaramonte quickly became one of the race’s biggest stories, passing five cars on the opening lap to move into fifth. Within six laps, he had advanced all the way to second.
On lap seven, Chiaramonte secured second place and began chasing the leader. For four laps the pair battled for the top spot, thrilling the fans before a yellow flag slowed the action on lap 14. Just as the fight for the lead was set to resume, the caution came back out when a car slowed on the restart. Unfortunately, it was Chiaramonte. An electrical issue sidelined the #3C and ended his night with a disappointing 15th-place finish.
Despite the setback, Sexton Gatlin Racing remained in contention. Chiaramonte’s misfortune elevated Collie to second with seven laps remaining. The Lakeside driver pressured the leader all the way to the finish and secured his best result yet in lightning sprint competition.
Sexton crossed the line in seventh, an improvement of three positions from the night before.
Heading into the next California Lightning Sprint Car Series race at Ventura Raceway on March 21st, Collie sits sixth in the championship standings while Sexton is tied for eighth.
Before that event, Brent and Grant Sexton will compete Thursday and Friday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the opening rounds of the 2026 Ultimate Sprint Car Series season. Fans unable to attend can watch both nights live on FloRacing.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2026 season.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Makes First Las Vegas Motor Speedway Appearance This Week
Chino Hills, CA — March 10, 2026 — After one of the most
impressive performances of his career two weeks ago, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will
make his first-ever appearance at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Thursday
and Friday, March 12 and 13. Tafoya will compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car
Series 2026 season openers. The event will run in conjunction with the High
Limit Series openers, and both nights will be available on FloRacing.

The visit to the oval located just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip will see Tafoya racing on the biggest track he has competed on since a trip to Northern California for the reopening of the Calistoga Speedway last Labor Day weekend. Prior to that in 2025, he raced at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park with the USAC National Sprint Car Series 13 months ago. Like those two tracks, Las Vegas is much larger than the tracks Tafoya normally competes on.
For the 28-year-old Tafoya, it will be only his second and third races since finishing the 2025 campaign at Perris Auto Speedway last November. Two weeks ago at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, the Chino Hills, California resident shook off any winter rust he may have had with one of his best sprint car performances.
At Mohave, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion and the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year timed in sixth fastest among the 22 cars on hand for the second race of the USAC/CRA season. He then came from fifth to win his 10-lap heat race.
In the 30-lap main event, Tafoya rocketed into the lead at the drop of the green flag and paced the field for the first seven laps before relinquishing the top spot. At the halfway point, he had slipped back to fourth and was battling to remain inside the top five.
Not to be deterred, Tafoya got his elbows up and found a sweet spot on the low line of the track. Competing against some of the toughest hombres west of the Mississippi, he drove his way back to second place. In the end, he slipped back one position to finish third. It was one of the toughest races of his career on the West Coast, and he passed the challenge with flying colors.
Tafoya will have little time to rest after this week’s races. A week from Saturday, March 21, he will compete with the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway.

Team Tafoya Racing would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season.

Jeff Dyer Gets Win at Imperial Valley Raceway – Las Vegas This Week
Yucca Valley, CA — March 11, 2025 — Jeff Dyer notched his
first win of the 2026 campaign when he scored a commanding victory in Round
#1 of the California Lightning Sprint Cars/SoCal Lightning Sprints
“California Clash” at the Imperial Valley Raceway. One night later, he
finished eighth in Round #2. This week, he will race Thursday and Friday,
March 11th and 12th, in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series season openers at the
Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
After qualifying eighth to open the lightning sprint portion of his schedule last Friday night, Dyer won his eight-lap heat race. That earned him the fourth starting spot in the scheduled 20-lap main event.
It did not take California Highway Patrol officer Dyer long to work his way into the lead. Using the outside line, he was in second place by the end of the first circuit. Two laps later, he drove around the outside of the leader and moved away to a comfortable lead.
Dyer stayed in the lead for the duration. That included six restarts caused by on-track chaos that necessitated yellow and red flags. Every time the green track lights came back on, Dyer simply drove away from the pack. However, it was not necessarily easy.
“We had a really good car,” Dyer commented. “All of my offseason stuff sort of came to fruition. I did not realize how fast I was until I watched the video. It is kind of frustrating with all of those yellows and reds. It kind of messes up your momentum. Sometimes lapped traffic can allow you to pull away a little more, but sometimes it can hurt you, too.”
Twenty-four hours later on the same track, things did not work out quite as well. He timed in second quick of the 18 cars on hand but started and finished fourth in his heat. In a frustrating main event, he started ninth and finished eighth.
“Saturday, we started off good,” Dyer lamented. “But it was a completely different track on Saturday than it was on Friday. I had a good car, but I did not do very good in my heat race. It was a points format. I did not pass anyone in my heat. So, I had to start ninth in the main.”
“It was just hard to pass on a one-lane track,” he said when thinking about the main. “Every time I would get some spots, I would do something stupid and lose two spots. I kept going forward and backward. It looked like there was some stuff on top, but every time you went up there, it was like driving on ice.”
Dyer came out of the weekend second in both the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and the California Clash Series points, only 17 points behind the leader. His next chance to slice into the leader’s advantage in the CLS regular season standings will come on March 21st at Ventura Raceway. For the California Clash Series, that opportunity will come on August 29 at Perris Auto Speedway.
This week, with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series in Las Vegas, Dyer will tackle the biggest track on which he has ever raced. Basically, he will set up the car as he does for Perris and adjust from that point on.
In 2026, the following marketing partners will help keep Dyer on track: Amsoil Oil Twins, Jobu Racing, Fonseca Racing, and Specialty Fasteners. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2026, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.
Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and
Beverly Sels, throughout the 2026 season.

Tanner Carrick Runs Second At Silver Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA: Traveling to Chico, CA over the weekend to take part in the Silver Cup, Tanner Carrick bounced back from on track issues early on Friday night and recorded a second-place finish on Saturday night after leading much of the feature event.
“Friday night we got ran over early in the night and it pretty much dictated our finish, and on Saturday night we were really good, but traffic got tricky and it ended up letting Austin Wood get by,” Tanner Carrick said.
Timing in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials, Carrick was in prime position to contend for a Dash spot as he lined up on the front row of his heat race. Issues in the heat saw Carrick finish in the sixth spot which placed him 18th on the feature event starting grid on a very hooked up and fast surface.
Battling hard on the hooked-up surface, Carrick’s night came to an early end as he was credited with an 11th place finish.
Back in action on Saturday night, Carrick came out extremely fast as he timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in Sixth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Starting on the pole of his heat race, Carrick was not to be denied on this night as he powered to the win again on a very hooked up and fast Silver Dollar Speedway surface.
Pulling the one pill in the Dash draw, Carrick continued to flex his muscle on the lightning-fast surface as he powered to the Dash win and earned the pole for the 30-lap Silver Cup feature event.
When the green flag was displayed, Carrick continued to showcase the same speed he had all night as he jumped into early lead. Out front, Carrick quickly reeled in the back of the field as he began the lapping process and spent much of his race running through traffic.
Looking very strong out front, lap 17 saw him take evasive action in traffic and as he did so, it opened the door for Austin Wood to race by him. Slipping back to second, Carrick was unable to get back by Wood and went on to close his weekend out with a second-place finish.
“Bummed we couldn’t come away with a win, but happy to have really good speed all weekend,” Tanner Carrick said. “Big thanks to Clark and my guys for always working so hard.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 3, Wins: -0, Top 5’s: 1, Top 10’s: 2
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick is now set to head to Las Vegas, NV and compete in winged and non-winged action this Thursday-Saturday.

Star-Studded Entry List Takes Shape for POWRi Turnpike Challenge Presented by Milestone Home Services
One of the deepest entry lists in Turnpike Challenge history is preparing to battle across Creek County Speedway and Port City Raceway.
Belleville, IL. (3/11/26) - Continuing as the seasonal-opening staple of POWRi National and West Midget League competition, the Thirteenth Annual Turnpike Challenge presented by Milestone Home Services returns to a pair of familiar Sooner State venues this week. The event begins with a single-night stop at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa on Thursday, March 12, before shifting north to Port City Raceway for back-to-back nights of racing on Friday and Saturday, March 13–14.
With 40+ entries expected, the field for the 13th Annual Turnpike Challenge is shaping up to be one of the deepest and most competitive editions in event history.
The Turnpike Challenge has grown into one of the most anticipated early-season events on the schedule, regularly attracting a blend of championship contenders, rising rookies, and standout regional competitors. With three nights of racing across two Oklahoma facilities, teams will look to establish early momentum in the 2026 championship chase while chasing one of the most sought-after victories on the opening stretch of the POWRi season.
What to Watch For
• RMS Racing Reloads — Former Micro champion Kale Drake begins his first full POWRi championship campaign with RMS Racing as the Oklahoma swing sets the early tone for the season.
• Trifecta Title Threat — 2023 POWRi champion Karter Sarff teams with Trifecta Motorsports in a pairing expected to contend for wins and the championship throughout the 2026 campaign.
• Reinbold/Underwood Rookie Debut — Arizona standout Drew Sherman begins his rookie season with Reinbold/Underwood Motorsports, making his POWRi National tour debut during the Turnpike Challenge.
• Chase McDermand Racing Duo — The emerging pairing of Mack Leopard and Drake Edwards enters the season with momentum, giving Chase McDermand Racing a formidable two-car effort.
• Depth of the Field — With more than forty expected entries featuring national contenders, experienced regional standouts, and a wave of rising rookies, the Turnpike Challenge once again showcases one of the most competitive early-season lineups in POWRi competition.
Notable Entries
A strong mix of national contenders, proven winners, and rising stars are expected to headline the Turnpike Challenge entry list.
Reigning POWRi National Midget League champion and nine-time feature winner Jacob Denney begins the 2026 season looking to continue the momentum that carried him to last year’s championship.
The always potent Keith Kunz Motorsports stable will be represented by four-time POWRi winner Gavin Miller alongside reigning Rookie of the Year Colton Robinson, both capable of striking early during the Oklahoma swing.
Fresh off a preliminary night victory at the Chili Bowl Nationals, Oklahoma standout Blake Hahn brings the home-state advantage and strong fan support that comes with racing in his backyard.
Returning to POWRi competition, four-time feature winner Kevin Thomas Jr. adds another nationally recognized contender to the entry list while Hayden Reinbold, a two-time POWRi feature winner, continues to build momentum entering the new season.
Former POWRi champion Karter Sarff joins Trifecta Motorsports in a pairing expected to be among the most consistent contenders throughout the 2026 championship chase, while Kale Drake begins his first full national campaign with RMS Racing.
Highlighting a strong 2026 Rookie of the Year class are several talented newcomers including Drew Sherman, Hank Soares, and Bradley Cox, each looking to make an immediate impression during the season-opening weekend.
Teams Bringing Added Depth
Adding additional strength to the already loaded field are several multi-car operations and experienced regional teams.
Jody Rosenboom Racing is expected to bring a strong three-car effort to the Turnpike Challenge with micro-sprint veteran Frank Flud, Jonathan Beason — fresh off capturing a coveted Tulsa Shootout Driller — and Tye Wilke all slated to compete.
Morton Excavating also enters with a three-car effort including Lane Goodman, Kade Morton, and Chance Morton, all familiar with racing in the Oklahoma region.
Additionally, rookie competitor Brant Woods is expected to pilot the well-known George Malone No. 85, adding another young contender to the stout entry list.

Landon Brooks Third at Silver Cup Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending the weekend at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA for the ‘Silver Cup’, Landon Brooks and the Hamilton Racing team picked up a third-place finish on Friday night and ended up 13th during Saturday night’s finale.
“All weekend long the track was super hooked up and fast, and that bit me a little bit on Friday as I ran out of tear offs with about seven laps to go,” Landon Brooks said. “We were so good all night, and I believe we had a car to contend for the top spot up until I had play it conservative in the closing laps.”
With 21 cars checked into the pit area on Friday night, Brooks timed the Lippert Construction/Tiner Hirst Enterprise/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L mount in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials before recording a runner up finish in heat race competition.
Just narrowly missing out on the Dash, the Rio Oso, CA driver was slotted to take the green flag from the seventh starting position for the first 30-lap feature of the weekend.
Moving into sixth when the field was shown the green, Brooks worked his way into fifth on the fourth lap and was really one of the only drivers who was able to make moves on the hooked-up surface.
Racing into fourth on the 10th lap, Brooks continued his charge to the front as he got into a battle for the final podium position on the 12th lap and swapped the third and fourth position for the next four laps.
Settling back into fourth on 15th lap, Brooks continued to bide his time, though he started to run low on tear-offs as he chased after a spot on the podium. With vision running low, Brooks was able to take over third on the 26th lap, where he went on to close the night out.
Back in action for the Silver Cup finale on Saturday, Brooks and company opted to try a few different things on another heavy surface as they opened the night up timing in 20th fastest amongst the 26 entrants.
Advancing to a sixth-place finish in his heat race, Brooks locked directly into the feature event where he then took the green flag from the 17th starting position.
Mired in heavy traffic on another locked down surface, Brooks slowly worked his way forward with passing being at a premium. Working his way towards the Top-10, Brooks wasn’t quite able to crack it as he closed the weekend out with a 13th place finish.
“We tried a few things on Saturday, and though the results weren’t what we wanted I think it was really productive in teaching us a few things for the season ahead,” Brooks added. “Big thanks to everyone associated with Hamilton Racing and all of our partners for continuing to support my racing efforts.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.

Chance Grasty Sixth at Silver Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA- Heading to Chico, CA on Saturday night for the Silver Cup, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team battled from their 11th starting position to score a 6th place finish in the feature event.
“The track was really fast and hard to pass on, so it wasn’t quite the result we were after but it was good to move forward like we did,” Chance Grasty said.
With 26 cars in the pit area, Grasty timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in 12th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Suisun City, CA driver started and finished third in his heat race, which put him 11th on the starting grid for the 30-lap feature event.
Hoping the track would go away and widen out as the night progressed, Grasty would not get his wish as the moisture hung around all night long and created a very fast a narrow racing surface.
Getting a great start when the race came to life, Grasty was able to work his way into the eighth position where he ran much of the night. With passing extremely difficult in this race, the youngster continued to hit his marks and wait for an opening to get a few more positions.
Getting in seventh on a late restart, Grasty worked into sixth on the 27th lap and looked for a way into the Top-5 as he chased after Max Mittry and Andy Forsberg who ran just ahead of him.
Unable to get into the top-five, Grasty capped the night off with a sixth place finish.
“I was really hoping we could get into the Top-Five in that last run, but it was just so tough to make up ground,” Grasty added. “Big thanks to the F&F Racing guys for always working so hard. We had a lot of speed, so we will certainly take the positives from the night and build.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Triple X Race Co., Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Econo Lube ‘N’ Tune, XC Gear, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.

Shane Golobic Third at Silver Cup with C&M Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- Getting the call from C&M Motorsports to run their Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c over the weekend, Shane Golobic and team had mechanical issues end their night early on Friday, but bounced back with a third-place finish on Saturday night.
“I was super thankful to get the chance to fill in for my NOS Energy Drink teammate, Colby Copeland over the weekend,” Shane Golobic said. “It was a fun weekend racing the Cody and Mandi Geaney, and their team.”
Getting the weekend kicked off on Friday night with fast time efforts in qualifying, issues in their heat race resulted in their night coming to an early end.
Able to make repairs during the day on Saturday, Golobic and company were back in action for Saturday’s finale where the Fremont, CA driver timed in eighth fastest amongst the 26 drivers checked into the pit area.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Golobic was able to get the jump over Friday night’s feature event winner, Andy Forsberg. Leading the way from start to finish, Golobic was able to score the win and secure a spot in the nightly Dash.
Going from fifth to fourth in the Dash, Golobic took the green flag for Saturday’s feature event on the outside of the second row on a very hooked up and fast racing surface.
Running in the fourth spot in the opening laps of the race, Golobic took the third position on 7th lap as he chased after the lead duo of Austin Wood and Tanner Carrick.
Continuing to hold down the final spot on the podium, Golobic capped the weekend off with a third place finish in ‘fill in’ duty with C&M Motorsports.
“I really enjoyed working with Cody and Bobby, and am appreciative for their hard work in getting the issues we had on Friday sorted out so we could have a strong night on Saturday.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.

Mallett Heading to North Alabama Speedway for First Time Since 2020 and Xtreme Speedway for First Time Since 2011
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (March 10, 2026) - Jordon Mallett has a pair of Alabama ovals on his weekend schedule.
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains will venture to North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia on Friday and Xtreme Speedway in Moulton on Saturday during a USCS Series doubleheader.
"We're just wanting to continue to build a notebook, but run well while we do that," Mallett said. "The ultimate goal is to continue developing a notebook between me and A.G. and getting me more acclimated in his program. We have speed. We just have some things to refine."
Mallett has limited laps at the two dirt tracks. He's competed at North Alabama Speedway five times. After placing ninth during his debut in 2011, Mallett ended seventh (twice) and fourth, respectively, in 2018 before recording a career-best third-place outing in 2020.
Mallett placed 13 th during his lone appearance at Xtreme Speedway in 2011.
"I've been to North Alabama Speedway a few times, not a lot but a few," he said. "The times I've been there it was all about where we drew early on. In the feature it could get narrow and hard to pass, but we normally ran okay there. I know it's changed and gotten better so I'm eager to see it. And I don't remember how it was the one time we were at Xtreme Speedway.
"I'm just looking forward to getting some races in. We have done four official races this year, but only one of those nights we got through unscathed. Hopefully we can have a good weekend and turn some great laps."

Dietrich to continue March slate with Lincoln and BAPS
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 9, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (March 9, 2026) – Danny Dietrich’s Sunday outing to Lincoln Speedway may have ended on a bad note, tipping over just before the finish to be scored 16th, but his focus is far from removed, already aiming big in a two-race weekend in Central Pennsylvania beginning Saturday, March 14, at Lincoln Speedway.
Dietrich, the driver of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, No. 48 sprinter, will continue his mid-March slate with a Sunday visit to BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven on March 15. The event will be BAPS’ first sprint car program of the season.
As noted, Dietrich’s recent visit to Lincoln ended on a sour note, tipping over in turns three and four just before the checkers were shown. The Gettysburg ace and reigning Central PA champion was battling for a top-five at the time of the incident.
“Not the ending we wanted…an embarrassing ending,” Dietrich said. “We’ll shake this off and move forward. Not much else to say other than we owe more to our fans and supporters.”
ON DECK:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2026 season with
another weekend double in the Keystone State, visiting Lincoln Speedway and
BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, March 14-15.

A podium for Zearfoss at Lincoln; Lincoln and BAPS ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
March 9, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (March 9, 2026) – The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss made the most of his Sunday visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, capping the afternoon program with a podium run. Zearfoss, who calls Jonestown, Pennsylvania, home, finished third in the Pigeon Hills, climbing three spots from the outside of row three. The podium, the second top-five of the season for Zearfoss, activated with a podium in his heat race; he finished third from fifth.
Zearfoss’ Lincoln Speedway visit was intended to be two days, but Saturday’s program was eventually called off due to Mother Nature.
“It was a good day for our team…a solid rebound after some bad luck in Florida,” Zearfoss, ace of the Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, Blue Mountain Wellness, No. 3Z sprint car, said. “Hats off to this entire team. A lot of prep and a lot of early season travel. Ready to get back at it with another round this weekend.”

Attica Raceway Park
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
ATTICA, OH – Long time race fans can remember when the previous week’s
feature winner had to start last in the following week’s feature. For 2026,
Attica Raceway Park will incorporate a twist on that concept for weekly,
non-sanctioned events called the Attica A-Main Challenge.
“We are always looking for ways to add excitement to our racing program,” said Attica Promoter John Bores.
HOW IT WORKS
The winner of the previous weekly race will start sixth in the following week’s A-main if a two heat format is incorporated or will start eighth in the A-main in a three heat or more format. Sanctioned races such as the World of Outlaws, All Star Circuit of Champions and Iron Man series and the Attica John Bores Anniversary Special are not included in this format.
The previous week’s feature winner must make the redraw through their heat race. Also, Bores is offering bonus money. Should the driver come from the designated starting position (sixth or eighth) and win the A-main again, the driver will earn a $1,000 bonus (410 sprints); $750 bonus (late models) and $500 bonus (305 sprints).
Bores also announced the three weekly divisions of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints, the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models and the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints will compete for a combined $50,000 point fund to be distributed to the top 10 in points at the end of the year.
Attica Raceway Park is set to open the 2026 season Friday, March 13.
Located in Attica, Ohio, Attica Raceway Park has been a cornerstone of dirt track racing since 1988 earning a reputation for competitive racing, dedicated fans, and a welcoming racing community.
Fans are encouraged to follow Attica Raceway Park at www.atticaracewaypark.com and on social media on X (formerly Twitter) @atticaracewyprk or Facebook at www.facebook.com/atticaracewaypark and Instagram at attica_raceway_park.
MORE ENTRIES, ADVANCE TICKETS & UPDATES for Texas Motor Speedway Midget Championship March 20-21!
Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (3/6/26). Just two weeks from today, the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Dirt Track will light up for the first time ever to host the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League with the running of the Texas Motor Speedway Midget Nationals, held Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st.
Advance online ticket sales are available by clicking https://www.powri.com/schedule/?i=31369 and there you can select which night(s) you would like to purchase advance tickets, or pit passes for. Just scroll down the schedule list and click on the tickets icon for the TMS event. You can also choose to purchase your event tickets upon arrival at the speedway on race night.
In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself is attracting the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Since last week’s update, a pair of Arizona drivers (Brody Wake, Drake Edwards), a Mississippi driver (Chase Howard) and another Oklahoma driver (Ryan Padgett) have joined the list of Midget drivers that plan to compete in this event.
Drivers can get registered by emailing Talin at talin@t2promotions.net
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS as well as many national ‘invaders’ - as there are very few other midget and non-winged events scheduled nationally this particular weekend. Paired with the fact that very few of these drivers have yet to compete on the recently upgraded and converted Lil’ TMS dirt track, it will make for even more added drama.
Including the new entries, now 12 states are currently represented in the list of expected drivers, including Jacob Denney, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Colton Robinson, Karter Sarff, Chase McDermand, Brandon Carr, Zach Daum, Alex Karpowicz, Trey Marcham, Andrew Felker, Alex Sewell, Kris Carroll, Pierce Urbanosky, Ray Brewer, Branigan Roark, Zane Lawrence, Shaun Shapel, Drew Sherman, Mack Leopard, Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Cooper Miller, Kale Drake, Brylee Miller, Kyle Jones, Tyler Edwards and Thomas Meseraull. A large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. More driver entries will be announced as registrations continue to arrive at POWRi headquarters.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
The current weather trend, if it holds together, shows a generally dry period on race week and temps around 80°, which would make for stellar racing and viewing. We’ll keep an eye on that aspect as race week draws nearer.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).
A special event info hub has been built to keep fans and teams informed of the latest event information. By clicking www.darinshort.com/powri.html you can find a variety of information: ticket links, nightly event lineup, latest event news, track weather & directions, and all the details you need to get the most out of your weekend at the track.
More details for Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, including track location and camping accommodations, can be found online at: http://www.TexasMotorSpeedway.com | 16400 Lone Star Circle, Fort Worth, TX 76177 | (817) 255-6000
All POWRi National and West Midget League events will be streamed live from Start2Finish, with both LIVE and ON-DEMAND viewing available. For subscription information, visit www.s2ftv.com
Looking beyond the March 20-21 TMS Midget Championship, fans and teams can click www.darinshort.com/tms.html the entire lineup of events at both the 4/10-mile TMS Dirt Track and the 1/5-mile Lil’ TMS Dirt Track.
Don’t miss the first ever visit of the POWRi National & West Region Midgets at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, along with the Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's, for what is sure to be two wild nights of dirt track racing action on March 20th & 21st!
Sexton Gatlin Racing Heads to One of Its Best Tracks — Imperial Valley — This Week
Lakeside, CA — March 5, 2026 — A quartet of drivers from Sexton Gatlin Racing will head to one of the team’s most successful venues, Imperial Valley Raceway, for this Friday and Saturday’s SoCal Lightning Sprints/California Lightning Sprint Cars co-sanctioned California Clash Series races. Flying the SGR banner this weekend will be Brent Sexton, his two sons Dalton and Grant, and lightning sprint sophomore Braydin Collie.
Even though the track runs a limited schedule, SGR drivers have visited victory lane four times at the track — located just a few miles from the USA/Mexico border — since 2022. In fact, Brent and both of his sons have all taken winner’s trophies home from the Imperial facility. Brent leads the way with two victories, both coming in the now-defunct POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Series. The first came on March 6, 2022, and followed a win by Dalton just 24 hours earlier. Brent’s second victory at the track came on October 20, 2023.
Grant, the youngest of Brent’s offspring, is the only member of the family trio to win there in something other than a lightning sprint. In October of 2022, he outdistanced the field in an open competition sprint car race.
While SGR is bringing four drivers to Imperial, it will only field three cars. Brent and Collie will compete both nights. However, Dalton and Grant will split driving duties in the third car. Dalton, 23, will wheel the machine on Friday, while younger brother Grant, 21, will take over the cockpit on Saturday.
For Dalton, it will be only his sixth race since 2022. He made three starts in 2023, none in 2024, and two last season. His best finish during that span came on April 15, 2023, when he placed third in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series main event at Perris Auto Speedway.
Last week, Brent made his 2026 season debut when the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway. The three-time lightning sprint champion turned in the 19th fastest lap in qualifying with a 15.237. He then started seventh and finished fifth in his 10-lap heat race. Later in the night, he advanced again, moving from his 18th-place starting position to finish 16th in the main event.
This week’s Imperial Valley races will be contested during the annual Mid-Winter Fair. Admission to both nights of racing is free with the purchase of a fair ticket. Each evening will feature a complete lightning sprint program including qualifying, heat races, and a 20-lap main event. Racing begins at 6:15 p.m. both nights.
For more information or to purchase advance fair tickets, visit www.ivfairgrounds.com/p/tickets--deals. Fans unable to attend in person can watch both nights live on speeduniontv.com.
Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds at 200 E. 2nd Street, Imperial, California 92251.
After this weekend’s races, SGR will have little time to rest. Next Thursday and Friday, March 12 and 13, Brent and Grant will compete with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2026 season.
Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2026 season possible. East County Electric Works, Antonelli’s Deli, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Takes Third at Mohave Valley in His 2026 Debut
Chino Hills, CA — March 2, 2026 — A gritty performance
earned Eddie Tafoya Jr. a hard-fought for third-place finish when the Avanti
Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Arizona’s Mohave Valley
Raceway last Saturday night. It was the veteran driver’s first race since
closing out the 2025 season last November at Perris Auto Speedway.
With a large, enthusiastic crowd packed into the grandstands and thousands more watching live on Flo Racing, Tafoya turned in the sixth-fastest qualifying time among the 22 cars on hand, stopping the clock at 14.228 seconds. The effort placed him on the inside of row three for the start of the third 10-lap heat race.
Tafoya, who resides in Chino Hills, California, wasted no time charging toward the front in the heat. On the opening lap, he quickly picked off three cars to move into second. After a yellow flag flew at the end of the first circuit, Tafoya seized the lead entering turn three on the restart and paced the field for the final nine laps.
For Tafoya, the 2019 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, the impressive heat race win, combined with his strong qualifying effort, earned him the pole position for the 30-lap main event.
When the green flag dropped, Tafoya rocketed into the lead and set the early pace. He led the first eight laps before surrendering the top spot. By the midway point, he had slipped back to fourth, but the battle was far from over. Running the bottom groove to perfection, he sliced past two competitors to climb back into second.
In the war that unfolded over the final 10 laps, Tafoya slipped back to third. From there, he fended off repeated challenges to secure a podium finish that equaled his best-ever performance on the lightning-fast Arizona clay oval.
“I was leading and trying to find some grip,” Tafoya told the crowd after the race. “It is kind of hard there leading with K.T. (Kevin Thomas Jr.) back there. He runs the bottom and Ricky (Lewis) is going to pound the top. It is kind of difficult figuring where to go. Two or three of them got around me. I had to regather myself, pull back together, make good decisions and get back up on the wheel.”
“I think everyone from California wanted to get that one for Bill Perkins,” he emotionally told the crowd. “He put a lot of us in these racecars.”
“Big thanks to Specialty Fastener, my mom and my dad, to Rowdy coming out to help, my girlfriend Amanda, and to my grandparents watching back home. It is good to be on Flo.”
Tafoya will take this weekend off before returning to action with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the 12th and 13th of this month. One week later, he will be back in USAC/CRA competition at the track closest to his Chino Hills home, Perris Auto Speedway.
Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at eddietafoya51.
Team Tafoya Racing would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season. If you would like to join forces with the team for another fun and exciting year of racing in 2026, please contact Tafoya at Eddie Tafoya Jr. at (909) 393-3999 or mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com

Tanner Carrick Opens 2026 With Merced Top-10
PETERSEN MEDIA: Kicking the 2026 NARC season off at Merced Speedway on Saturday night, Tanner Carrick rebounded from early struggles in qualifying to tally an eighth-place finish in the feature event.
“Aside from a little mistake in qualifying that set us back, I was pretty happy with how the first race of the year went,” Tanner Carrick said.
Heading to Merced Speedway on Saturday night for the 2026 NARC season opening event, Tanner Carrick didn’t get his night started how he had hoped as he timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in 16th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, the Lincoln, CA driver raced well as he worked his way to a fifth place finish in heat race action which placed him in the 12th starting position for the 30-lap feature event.
Mired in traffic for the first half of the race, Carrick was able to keep his nose clean as the race started to go off the rails as it reached the halfway point. Taking advantage of some of the wild action, Carrick moved into 11th on the 15th lap after jumped into ninth follow a lap 16 open red flag.
Battling between ninth and 10th for a handful of laps, Carrick settled into ninth on the 21st lap before taking over eighth on the 23rd stanza. Once in eighth, Carrick was able to hold the position as he capped the night off with an eighth-place finish.
“Starting fairly deep in heat races in features in these races is tough,” Carrick said. “It is important to time in well, and I have to make sure I do a better job of that movind forward this year.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating
March 4, 2026 (Columbus, OH)…The Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating is proud to release the vast majority of this year’s miniseries details as the countdown to the sixth consecutive running of Western PA Speedweek begins.
The number one goal in reviving Western PA Speedweek a handful of years ago was to push forward the state of local sprint car racing in western Pennsylvania. With that in mind, speedweek officials are once again proud to announce that the 2026 iteration will become the richest speedweek in recent memory with over $100,000 in feature winnings and point fund money on the line. That impressive amount will be furthered yet by additional giveaways, awards and nightly contingencies.
“As more money becomes available for Western PA Speedweek events, we have strategically placed it where I believe we can benefit the most racers,” stated series director Tyler Beichner. “The winner’s share is what gets the attention, and understandably so, but often times it is the money spread throughout the field that bolsters an event. Western PA Speedweek car counts being historically high is an indicator that we’re continuing on the right path for our tracks, drivers and team owners.”
Another secondary benefit of restoring Western PA Speedweek has been seizing the opportunity to bridge the gap between the current state of local sprint car racing with those that laid the foundation for the sport so many years ago. Just two years ago, Western PA Speedweek was fortunate to help bring the ‘Jean Lynch Classic’ to Lernerville Speedway, and this year we proudly introduce the inaugural running of the ‘Floyd Trevis Memorial’ at Sharon Speedway. Many more details are still to come on this newly coined event that honors the father of modern sprint car racing.
A staple of Western PA Speedweek is the point fund that rewards the week’s ten most successful drivers. A cool $13,500 will be split amongst those participants, with $3,000 earmarked for the speedweek champion. As has become customary, the full point fund will once again be guaranteed with a minimum of three races completed.
The previously announced schedule will find Western PA’s finest drivers joined by a select number of invaders as they grace the clay at five area tracks on consecutive nights. After enduring a dismal week of cold and damp weather in 2025, the rain dances have already begun in an attempt to receive the good graces of Mother Nature this time around. Only once since the reawakening five years ago has Western PA Speedweek avoided any rainouts, however tracks and series officials will be trying hard to buck the trend this year.
Scheduled to kick off the week of festivities, Michaels Mercer Raceway will host a Wednesday night soiree on May 27th with a $3,500 to-win, $300 to start program. The weather has treated Mercer especially poorly as the speedway is an astounding 0-for-4 on Western PA Speedweek attempts since the rebirth, with rain winning every year. The speedweek lidlifter will mark the first of three midweek specials to be found on an aggressive season schedule under new owner Earl Michaels. Joining the 410 Sprints at the unique D-shaped 3/8th mile oval will be the RUSH Wingless Sprints and DIRTcar 602 Sportsman Modifieds.
A massive change in scenery is in store the following evening when Western PA Speedweek transitions from the tight confines of Michaels Mercer Raceway to the sprawling half-mile Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway for another $3,500 to-win, $300 to start program on Thursday, May 28th. Affectionately known as “Dirt’s Monster Half Mile”, the wide and racy speedway located just southwest of Pittsburgh has put on incredible racing in recent years. Joining the headliner 410 Sprints will be the Whoa Nellie UMP Modifieds.
Western PA Speedweek will then jumpstart the weekend at the historic Don Martin’s Lernerville Speedway on Friday, May 29th. Acting as one of the most iconic dirt tracks of the last 50 years, the traditional Friday night home for area sprint cars will welcome Western PA Speedweek’s finest for the 3rd Annual Jean Lynch Classic presented by Mosites Lynch Racing. The prestigious event will pay $4,000 to-win, $350 to start and be joined by the rest of the Fab 4 Racing family: Super Late Models, Big Block Modifieds and Pro Stocks. With last year’s iteration falling to rain, AJ Flick is the only driver with a ‘Jean Lynch Classic’ on his resume following his masterful drive to the front in 2024.
The penultimate night of Western PA Speedweek requires a short scoot across the Ohio border to the renowned Sharon Speedway for the inaugural running of the ‘Floyd Trevis Memorial’. The 30-lap affair honoring the father of modern sprint cars will be the highest paying race of the week featuring a $5,000 to-win, $400 to start main event. The history of western Pennsylvania racing simply cannot be told without the Hartford, OH oval’s inclusion, as evidenced by the scores of talented drivers that have visited victory lane at the speedway that has been running continuously since 1929! Following a full clay resurfacing nearly a decade ago, Sharon Speedway has enjoyed the highest sprint car counts in the area and has displayed arguably some of the best racing in the country. Joining the 410 Sprints will be the high-powered Big Block Modifieds and the recently introduced Crown Vics.
Last but certainly not least, Western PA Speedweek will cap off an eventful week of racing at the fast half-mile Tri City Raceway Park. Under the tutelage of second year owners Josh and Kyrsten Shiffer, the Venango County oval has experienced a resurgence of sorts highlighted by more aggressive and action-packed scheduling. The curtains will close on the sixth consecutive running of Western PA Speedweek with a $4,000 to-win, $350 to start feature. If last year’s barnburner is any indication, this is a race that you will not want to miss. Joining the 410 Sprints for the curtain call will be the RUSH Sprints and 4Cyl Mini Stocks.
Throughout the week of racing a slew of nightly bonus awards and giveaways will be presented thanks to our amazing sponsors and supporters. These extra prizes, detailed further below at the bottom of the press release, will reward drivers that earn the Quick Time, Hard Charger, Hard Luck and more!
With less than three months remaining until the green flag flies on the 2026 Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants Western PA Speedweek presented by J.S. Bova Excavating, there’s no better time than the present to start making your plans to attend. Bring a family member, tell a friend, put in that day of vacation (let us know if you need a doctor’s note!). We cannot wait for you to join us at the track.

Milestone Home Services Named Title Partner of POWRi National Midget League & POWRi West Midget League March Swing
Belleville, IL (3/3/26) – POWRi Racing has named Milestone Home Services as the title sponsor for the highly anticipated March swing featuring the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, placing enhanced branding across the Turnpike Challenge and TMS Midget Championship.
“This was an opportunity to expand an existing partnership that offers continual support,” said Talin Turner of POWRi Racing. “Milestone Home Services has been a tremendous supporter of our competitors and our events over the years. With the shift in the early-season schedule, it made perfect sense to amplify their presence during one of our strongest regional stretches of the year.”
The two-week focus begins with the Milestone Home Services Turnpike Challenge at Creek County Speedway and Port City Raceway on March 12–14, before concluding in Texas with the Milestone Home Services TMS Midget Championship at Lil Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on March 19–21.
With the postponement of the Outlaw Nationals, POWRi leadership worked to create expanded exposure and added value for Milestone Home Services during a key regional stretch. Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Milestone Home Services will receive elevated brand integration and promotional emphasis throughout events across Oklahoma and Texas.
Additional promotional elements, cross-platform branding initiatives, and on-site activations for Milestone Home Services will be highlighted across POWRi digital and broadcast platforms during the early-season swing.
All POWRi National & West Midget League events will be streamed live from Start2Finish TV. For streaming access or to purchase an Express Pass, visit www.s2ftv.com.

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing Look Forward to Silver
Cup Follow Tough NARC Opener
PETERSEN MEDIA: Kicking their 2026 NARC campaign off on Saturday night in Merced, CA, Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing had a tough go, but the team is already turning their attention to this weekend’s double-header in Chico, CA.
“It was definitely a tough weekend, and I feel like I let everyone down with some mistakes,” Landon Brooks said. “The Hamilton Racing team prepared a great car and I just made too many mistakes and have a lot I need to clean up moving forward.”
Hitting the tight confines of the Merced Speedway on Saturday night, Brooks got the night kicked off by timing the Lipper Construction/Tiner Hirst/Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L in 15th quickest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, the Rio Oso, CA driver slipped back to the sixth position as the race got underway. Hanging on to a sixth-place finish, Brooks moved into the feature event where he rolled off of the starting grid from the 15th position.
When the race came to life, Brooks jumped into 18th where he ran the first 10-laps until he lost the handle on the 11thcircuit and spun to a spot in turns one and two.
Restarting from 20th, Brooks was able to get rolling as he was up into 14th on the 16th lap when cars got together ahead of him and he got in on the action and damaged his front end.
Taking a trip to the work area as the race went into open red flag conditions, the extra time allowed the Hamilton Racing team to make extensive repairs and get Brooks back out for the restart.
Restarting in 15th with the way the race was going, Brooks was able to get going with the action resumed as he worked his way forward and raced into the Top-10.
Working his way up to ninth at one point, a battle inside the Top-10 on the 27th lap resulted with Brooks having another front end get knocked out which officially brought his night to an end.
“I really want to thank the Hamilton Family for going all in on me this year, and I wish we could have had a better opener,” Brooks said. “I will do a better job on my part and get our car up front and battling for top finishes. I also want to thank the Tiner Hirst guys for all of their hard work.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 1, Wins- 0, Top 5’s- 0, Top 10’s- 0
ON TAP: Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing are back in action this Friday and Saturday in Chico, CA.
STAY CONNECTED: Stay up to speed with Landon Brooks and team by following @LCBrooks60 on Twitter/X, 60LandonBrooks on Instagram, HamiltonRacing21L on Instagram, HamiltonRacingg on Twitter/X or by becoming a fan of Hamilton Racing on Facebook.
Mallett Produces Earliest Podium Performance in a Season Since 2018
Inside Line Promotions - HATTIESBURG, Miss. (March 3, 2026) - A second-place result highlighted the first handful of races of the new partnership between Jordon Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains.
The strong showing came on the heels of a challenging start to the season as the team ventured to Florida for a USCS Series doubleheader at Southern Raceway in Milton Feb. 20-21. Mallett placed fifth in a heat race before a DNF ended his season opener early.
"We wanted to get the season started early so we could get ourselves on the same page and start building a notebook," he said. "We faced a couple of mechanical gremlins, but we had good speed right away.
"Milton was up and down. We chased mechanical gremlins all night on the Friday night and it resulted in a DNF. We had speed in the car, but we needed to iron out a few kinks. We regrouped for Saturday and we were a lot better off. However, something didn't feel right on the car as the night progressed."
Mallett advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race and from ninth to sixth place in the main event.
"We had a good initial start and got ourselves into fourth or fifth," he said. "Something was off. The car wouldn't stay underneath me coming through some of the chop. We spun ourselves out trying to work through that on about Lap 7. We went back to the tail and mounted a charge back to sixth. I felt we had a lot better race car than where we finished. We found out later we had a shock that went bad. It was a relief to find something definitive to pinpoint what had happened."
The action shifted to Hattiesburg Speedway, which hosted a USCS Series doubleheader last weekend. On Friday, Mallett maneuvered from third to second in a heat race to advance into the dash. A fifth-place finish in the dash lined him up on the inside of the third row in the A Main.
"A.G. had a really well-prepared car for us and we were really good the first night," he said. "The track was uncharacteristically fast and hooked up and narrow. We became really good when we got into traffic and it got really technical. The car came to life then. The leader was good on the short runs, but not as good as us in traffic. We were right there, but wound up with a late-race red flag. After that, those last five or six laps, we didn't get back into traffic and that's what we needed. All in all, it was a super solid night and we made tremendous gains on me being comfortable in the race car and being able to contend for a win."
The second-place result was Mallett's best run since May 2025. It was also his earliest podium outing of a season since 2018, when he placed second on Feb. 24.
"We were able to take that same comfort level and roll it into Saturday," he said. "We had a lot of speed. We missed it a little in the dash and then coming around after the parade lap of the feature to line up I felt a shake so I pulled into the infield. I felt it was a terminal shake so I had to disappointedly watch the feature from the infield. Luckily, we made the right call and didn't cause any further damage."
After finishing second in a heat race and sixth in the dash, Mallett's night ended early with a DNS in the feature.
The team is taking this weekend off before returning to competition with the USCS Series March 13 at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala., and March 14 at Xtreme Speedway in Moulton, Ala.

Andy Forsberg 6th at Marysville Raceway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Marysville Raceway on Saturday night to take part in the track’s first points event of the season, Andy Forsberg rebounded from issues while leading in traffic to finish sixth in the feature.
“It was the polar opposite of last week as far as weather and the car count, but Saturday night was really good crowd, great weather, but we had another gnarly surface,” Andy Forsberg said.
With 17 cars in the pit area on this night, Forsberg timed the Pacific Highway Rentals/Wilkie Masonry/Western Traffic Supply No. 92 in fifth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Needing to win his heat race to make the redraw, the Auburn, CA driver did just that as he picked up the much-needed win which put him in the redraw where the two-pill put him on the front row of the feature event.
When the race went green, Forsberg shot out to the early lead and quickly began reeling in the back of the field as he methodically worked around the tricky surface that was presented on Saturday night.
With traffic causing some hair raising moments, Forsberg did all but get upside down at one point and it allowed Jaden Bunch to grab the lead as Forsberg worked to get back pointed the right way.
Packing his left rear full of mud, Forsberg went to the work area and was able to make quick repairs, and as he rejoined the field he lined up in eighth with the amount of cars he lapped in the early goings of the race.
Able to pick up a few positions in the final laps, Forsberg closed the night out with sixth place finish.
“Traffic was wild, and I was just thankful that we didn’t get upside down and tear a bunch of stuff up,’ Forsberg said. “Thanks to my team for working hard, and this week we will try again in Chico, CA.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Pacific Highway Rentals, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 2, Wins-1, Top 5’s-1, Top 10’s-2
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will be in action this Friday and Saturday in Chico, CA for the Silver Cup.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Garner Two Podiums to Finish Florida Swing in Style
Inside Line Promotions – BARBERVILLE, Fla. (March 3, 2026) – A pair of podium finishes during the Bike Week Jamboree gave Big Game Motorsports sole possession of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship lead.

Big Game Motorsports enters the weekend riding a four-race streak of podium performances in Florida throughout the last month. Following back-to-back second-place showings in February, Gravel set quick time during qualifying on Sunday. He won a heat race, maneuvered from sixth to third place in the dash and gained a position to place second in the A Main.
A seventh-place qualifying effort on Monday – the first time Gravel hasn’t been quick time in his flight all season – was followed by second-place runs in a heat race and the dash before the night concluded with a third-place result in the A Main.

Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (2/26/26). The Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Dirt Track is thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League will be taking on the ‘in your face’ action atop the 1/5-mile on Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st – and advance online ticket sales are now available!

A large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. More driver entries will be announced as registrations continue to arrive at POWRi headquarters.

emailing Talin at: Talin@T2promotions.net
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to
follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There
is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.

Covington Wins the Sonoran Clash Night 2
Glenpool, OK (February 25, 2026) — Matt Covington put his top-side hustle on
full display over the weekend, charging to a runner-up finish on Saturday
before storming to victory Sunday night aboard the No. 95 machine at Central
Arizona Raceway with the American Sprint Car Series during the inaugural
Sonoran Clash.
Saturday night saw Covington unload with speed at the 3/8-mile oval. After advancing through his heat race and positioning himself at the front of the field with a Dash win, Matt powered his way to a strong second-place finish in the A-Main, showing early signs that the team had found something special on the Arizona surface.
“We were really good Saturday,” Covington said. “Peck was
better in lapped traffic. It’s cool having these 410 guys come run with us
because you can always learn race craft from them. But we learned a lot
throughout the night and felt like we had something we could build on going
into Sunday.”
That momentum carried straight into Sunday’s program.
Covington again qualified well and capitalized with another heat race win. After the Dash results were finalized, Covington lined up sixth for the 30-lap feature.
When the feature went green, Peck jumped out to an early lead as Covington and the field worked to close the gap. After a caution on Lap 14, Peck ducked into the infield with a flat right-front tire, surrendering the lead to Kyler Johnson with Whit Gastineau and Covington close behind.
On the restart, Johnson stretched his advantage while Covington worked past Gastineau on Lap 18. Over the next several circuits, Matt erased a 1.5-second deficit, finding momentum on the high side, a lane few had tried, and even fewer had made work.
With five laps remaining, Covington carried a full head of
steam into Turns 3 and 4, rolling the cushion as Johnson protected the
bottom. Drag racing to the line to complete Lap 25, Covington surged ahead
to take the lead.
>From there, the Glenpool, Oklahoma native was not to be denied, pacing the
field over the final five laps to secure the $6,000 victory, .. the 23rd
American Sprint Car Series triumph of his career.
“I really can’t believe we won this thing tonight,” Covington said. “The car was great. If there’s a fast top line, I’m going to try to make it work.”
“I feel bad for those guys, they’re my friends, and I’ve stolen two from him now going back to I-55 last year,” Covington added. “He’s going to get there. It’s just traffic and experience. I didn’t do a very good job of it Saturday night with Peck, but we cleaned it up Sunday. I need to thank Steven for all his help this winter and the last month or so as we get rolling into the year. People don’t understand the work and sacrifice it takes behind the scenes and the grind up and down the road.”

Colby Copeland and C&M Motorsports Kick 2026 Off In AZ
PETERSEN MEDIA- After a strong showing at the 2025 Trophy Cup, C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland have joined forces for much of the 2026 season and over the weekend the action came to life as they made the trip to Central AZ Raceway to take on the ASCS National Tour.
“It was great to get our season kicked off, and I am really excited to work with the C&M Motorsports team in 2026,” Colby Copeland said.
Getting the action kicked off on Saturday night, Copeland timed the NOS Energy Drink/Lund Construction/Anrak backed No. 7C in third fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Roseville, CA driver got the jump as he powered into the early lead. Keeping the rest of the field at bay, Copeland picked up the win and punched his ticket into the nightly Dash.
Starting and finishing second in the Dash, Copeland was on the front row of his first feature event of the season. When the race went green, Copeland settled into second as he fended off Justin Peck in the early stanzas and kept his other eye on early leader, Matt Covington.
Slipping back to third on the 10th lap as Peck was able to get by him, Copeland still looked very strong as he kept the C&M Motorsports mount in the hotly contested battle up front. On the 17th lap however, Copeland began to lose power, and on the 18th lap his night came to an early end.
Making repairs during the day on Sunday, the team was back in action Sunday night to cap off their 2026 opening weekend.
Timing in fifth fastest in his group on Sunday, Copeland’s fourth place finish in his heat race put him in the eight row of the 30 lap feature event.
Mired in traffic for much of the race, Copeland was able to make some headway as he worked his way towards the Top-10. Slicing and dicing his way around the Central AZ Raceway, Copeland capped the weekend off with an 11th place finish.
“We did have some bugs slow us a little in our first weekend out, but it was also the first time this team has seen the track, so in the big picture I was pleased with how it went,” Copeland added. “Big thanks to Cody and Mandi for putting together a cool schedule with me, and thanks to everyone that supports the No. 7C.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Colby Copeland return to action March 21st at Placerville Speedway.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Back to Florida for Bike Week Jamboree
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Feb. 24, 2026) - Big Game Motorsports returns to competition this Sunday and Monday at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., during the Bike Week Jamboree.
David Gravel used a pair of second-place finishes at the half-mile oval earlier this month during the first two points races of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season to be tied atop the championship standings.
"Lots of confidence and I felt like everything we did there was earned," he said. "We didn't have great racing luck of starting in the front row so I felt we performed every single night."
Following the two-weekend break from the season-opening event, Big Game Motorsports is now scheduled to race the next five weekends and in 17 of the next 18 weekends. Following a weekend off for the Fourth of July, the ensuing 16 weekends are busy competing before a weekend off leading into the final event of the World of Outlaws season in November.
"The boys had to go back to the shop and refill the trailer up," Gravel said after the season-opening event in Florida. "We'll be ready to go. Once that second Volusia weekend comes up it's ready for the season for real."
Gravel has won five of his last 18 World of Outlaws starts at Volusia Speedway Park.
"I'm looking forward to the weekend," he said. "They've done a great job with the race track and it's a lot of fun racing there. We have a lot of people there to support us, too."

JONESTOWN, Pa.

Impressive enough, Zearfoss, who drove Clayton Snow’s No. 7 in his two-day campaign, started 11th in the aforementioned top-five, crossing the line fifth with Matt Covington taking top honors.
Zearfoss and Clayton Snow finished 15th in their first outing at Central Arizona Raceway on Saturday, February 21. Over 30 entries made the call with Indiana’s own Justin Peck taking the evening’s checkers.
With his early season trek to Arizona now complete, Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing can begin preparations for their return to Florida, setting aim back on Volusia Speedway Park for the two-day Bike Week Jamboree featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.
“I was pretty pumped to get the call from Clayton Snow. It ended up being a pretty solid weekend and I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Brock Zearfoss said. “The plan now is to head back south and rejoin the World of Outlaws at Volusia, and if all goes according to plan, we’ll follow the Series through Alabama and Mississippi. Excited to see what we can do.”

HOME SWEET HOME: Whittall back from Australia, eager for
Central Pennsylvania season
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 23, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (February 23, 2026) – Justin Whittall’s 2025/2026 Tour of Australia was long and competitive, but the New Jersey native is finally home, ready for another full-on Central Pennsylvania campaign beginning with an early season stop at the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway.
Although an official start date for the team has yet to be determined, Whittall’s plan of attack for 2026 will be made up primarily of the new PA Posse 410 Sprint Series and seeing that through until Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek commences in late June. Whittall’s remaining months will remain “TBD” up until that point, utilizing prior results and standings to lay out their focus for mid to late season destinations.
“It was another fantastic trip to Australia. I’m super grateful for everything that RBH Racing did for me these last few months, but it’s good to be home and we have some work to do,” Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, said. “We’re not exactly sure when we’ll start our season, but a visit to Lincoln will likely happen before the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series schedule gets going. We’ll need some lap time to shake things down.”
The PA Posse 410 Sprint Series will feature a 47-race schedule for its inaugural season, spanning nine Central Pennsylvania tracks, plus Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland and Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey. Action will commence at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, March 21.

Vermeer Motorsports, who will follow High Limit Racing on a full-time basis, will use their Florida trip as an early season test session, utilizing the lap time to make sure their “55” is ready for the road.
In fact, Vermeer Motorsports, backed by TK Concrete, Maxima Trucking & Materials, and Logan Contractors, will follow the Outlaws in back-to-back weekends, continuing on with stops at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama, and Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi, on March 6-7. From there, Vermeer will move further west, joining High Limit Racing in their season opener in Las Vegas on March 12-14.
“It’s a good way to get things shook down before the High Limit season gets going…we can work out any last minute kinks or potential issues in our set-ups,” Tye Wolfgang, the team’s Crew Chief, stated. “It’s all about lap time and getting the car where it needs to be. We’re excited to get things going.”
ON DECK:
Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will activate their 2026 season with
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series competition at Volusia Speedway Park on
March 1-2. The team will then follow the Greatest Show On Dirt to Talladega
Short Track and Magnolia Motor Speedway on March 6-7.
High Limit Racing’s SugarBee Blackjack Bash – their season opener – at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Dirt Track in Las Vegas, Nevada, is set for March 12-14.

OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN ADDS $10,000 TO WIN NON-WING SPRINT
CAR DIVISION FOR 2026
LAS VEGAS, NV (February 19, 2026) – The fourth annual Open Wheel Showdown is
excited to announce the addition of Non-Wing Sprint Cars for its 2026
running at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, November 5–7.
The new division will headline Friday Night’s Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying
Night, serving as the featured event of the evening. The Non-Wing Sprint
Cars will compete in a 75-lap main event paying $10,000 to win and $1,000 to
start, adding another marquee moment to one of asphalt racing’s richest
weekends. An incentive will also be offered for teams who run both the
winged and non-wing divisions with details to be announced later.
Non-Wing’s addition to the Open Wheel Showdown continues the meaningful
reintroduction of pavement sprint car racing to the Las Vegas area. The
Southwest region was once rich in open-wheel tradition with events like the
Turkey Night Grand Prix and the Cooper World Classic drawing national
attention. Bringing Non-Wing Sprint Cars back to this stage reconnects the
area with that storied history while introducing a new generation of fans to
the excitement of pavement sprint car competition.
The addition marks a significant expansion of the Showdown’s class
structure, joining Winged Sprint Cars, Modifieds, Super Modifieds, Legends,
and Bandoleros to further solidify the event as the definitive asphalt open
wheel racing festival.
“Adding Non-Wing Sprint Cars to the Open Wheel Showdown builds upon my
vision to make this the premier pavement open wheel event in the world,"
Promoter Davey Hamilton, Jr. said. "Not only will this be a great addition
for the competitors and the fans, I am looking forward to jumping in to
chase the $10,000 prize. Friday night under the lights in Las Vegas will be
even more electric in 2026 with the Non-Wing Sprint Cars headlining the
program and I can't wait to see the racing!”
The new division will receive strong support from the YourBIGPlans.com 500
Sprint Car Tour, a national series dedicated to non-wing pavement sprint car
competition and preserving the heritage of the discipline.
“This is an important step for the growth of non-wing pavement sprint car
racing,” said Jared Owen, Series Director of the YourBIGPlans.com 500 Sprint
Car Tour. “Events like the Open Wheel Showdown create major opportunities
for our teams to compete on a big stage. It’s another building block in the
continued growth of this division and directly supports the momentum we’re
seeing around the Unified Group Services Little 500. The more high-profile
races we create for non-wing sprint cars, the stronger the foundation
becomes for the future of the Little 500 and pavement sprint car racing as a
whole.”
The Open Wheel Showdown continues to attract top open wheel talent from
coast to coast, offering one of the most compelling purses and competitive
fields in pavement racing today.
Event registration opens on March 1. More info can be found at

ELEVATING EXPECTATIONS: Tony Vermeer and Vermeer Motorsports set the bar
high for 2026
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 16, 2026
MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (February 16, 2026) – The 2026 campaign will prove to be bigger than ever for Tony Vermeer and Vermeer Motorsports, and with the “Madman” Kerry Madsen at the helm of their TK Concrete, Maxima Trucking & Materials, Logan Contractors No. 55, the team’s goals and aspirations are sure to be in reach, one of which is to be a winning threat night-in and night-out with High Limit Racing. In total, Vermeer Motorsports hopes to push their calendar to nearly 80 events in 2026, mixing in starts with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the infamous Pennsylvania Posse when not on track with High Limit.
Speaking of the Keystone State, in an effort to embed themselves deep within one of the country’s most notable sprint car hotbeds, Vermeer Motorsports made the strategic move from central Iowa to Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. The relocation not only gives Vermeer Motorsports Crew Chief Tye Wolfgang a sense of “home shop advantage,” but in addition, a massive slate of open wheel contests within a relatively short drive of their Juniata County race shop. Not to mention, their own work place when the High Rollers invade Posse Country.
As noted, Pennsylvania native and championship-proven Crew Chief Tye Wolfgang will lead the charge for Tony Vermeer and the newly restructured Vermeer Motorsports (disbanding what was formerly known as Vermeer-Madsen Racing), along with Car Chief Doug Rankin and Harley Berry as the team’s Tire Specialist.
“It’s going to be an exciting year,” Tye Wolfgang was quick to note. “Tony [Vermeer] believes in us and he believes in our potential. He’s given us the tools and equipment necessary to be at the highest level. Now it’s time for us to go out and prove that we belong at the High Limit table.”
Vermeer Motorsports and Kerry Madsen will activate their full-time High Limit Racing campaign with a trip to Sin City, partaking in three straight nights of competition beginning Thursday, March 12.
“We’ve been working our tails off in restructuring this entire team,” Wolfgang added “We have a full fleet of Maxim Chassis and Fisher Racing Engines awaiting Kerry’s arrival back to the states. I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re excited for this new chapter. All that’s left to do is get on track and prove it.”

Kerry Madsen and Vermeer Motorsports will activate their 2026 season with

their 2026 campaign in Bakersfield on Saturday night. The series has raced
four times on the dirt at Kern Raceway, with Castro Valley’s Jake Andreotti
scoring victories twice. Bakersfield’s Cade Lewis and Arizona’s Drake
Edwards are also former winners. Stockton’s Caden Sarale led Riverside’s
Dane Culver in the 2025 series championship, with Sarale taking the title on
the strength of three main event wins. $1,200 is up for grabs for the race
winner.
The IMCA Modifieds race for an outstanding $750 to win each
night of the 2026 Bakersfield Speedway season. Drivers from across the
southwest took on the one-third mile dirt track in 2025 with veteran
multi-time champion Brad Pounds prevailing for another title for the trophy
case. The IMCA Sport Modifieds also enjoyed familiar success last season
with Tyler Bannister topping 2024 champion Jason Bannister for the top spot
in the standings. The Sport Mods continue to race for $600 to win each night
this year.

plenty of energy surrounding their season openers this Friday night.

take to the dirt on Saturday night for their first of seven races in
Bakersfield this year. Bakersfield’s JD Brown starred in the series
throughout 2025 and defends home turf against racers from across the region.

CONSISTENCY EXTENDS KINGSHOTT’S LEAD
Consistent performances during two of Western Australia’s biggest events – the Barbagallo Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals and the Krikke Boys Shootout – over the past week have rewarded Dayne Kingshott and the Krikke Motorsport team with a feature race win and extended their current Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series point standings lead.
During the $40,077 to win Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals saw the team run a black and gold WA # 77 car in tribute to Alf Barbagallo, ran an impressive second place on the opening night; however, despite being in a front-running position on the second night, things didn’t go according to plan, and he recorded a rare DNF due to an engine issue. Kingshott and the team bounced back three nights later during the Midweek Mayhem event at Perth Motorplex and picked up a third-place finish on the podium.
Last weekend’s Krikke Boys Shootout was run in honour of Daryl, Jason, Shane and Michael Kirkke with a $20,095 winner’s prize up for grabs and it is an event that is very near and dear to all at Krikke Motorsport. It started in near perfect fashion when Dayne was second in his group in qualifying and won his heat, dash and dominated the feature race for his sixth win of the season. The second and final night saw Kingshott forced to play catch up after a poor qualifying run, but he and the team showed their never-say-die spirit once again and managed to finish in sixth after they had started from a deep out of position 17 in the feature race field.
Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke was really pleased to see Kingshott and the team come away from yet another busy period of the season with more solid performances.
“Running five nights in just over a week is quite hectic for everyone, but the team once again stood up to it, and we are happy to come away from each of those nights with plenty of car speed. Obviously a DNF wasn’t ideal during the Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals, and we would have liked to have started a lot closer to the front in the Krikke Boys Shootout race, but that’s racing,” he said.
“It was a real privilege and an honour to roll out the black and gold car for the Barbagallo family during the Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals, and I would like to thank Vince Barbagallo for trusting us with that. The boys, Dayne included, haven’t missed a beat all season and I’m really looking forward to the last half a dozen rounds, as there is still plenty of racing to go and six opportunities to get another win or two before the season is done.”

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall caps his season in Australia
with three straight top-tens
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 16, 2026
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (February 16, 2026) – It’s been a long, competitive season Down Under for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall and Western Australia’s own RBH Racing, and even though Whittall’s campaign has officially come to a close, capping his visit to the Southern Hemisphere with three starts at Perth Motorplex, the American went out swinging, earning three straight top-tens with the third occurring in the Krikke Boys Shootout finale on Saturday, February 14.
Whittall, who piloted the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 during his entire stint in Australia, finished seventh, tenth, and seventh, respectively, in his final three starts, the first in Perth’s Midweek Mayhem followed by the two-day Krikke Boys Shootout.
Impressive enough, Whittall is actually five-for-five in the top-ten column in his last five visits to Perth Motorplex, all of which dating back to the two-day Mr. Sprintcar Nationals on Friday and Saturday, February 6-7.
“It’s been an incredible trip. So much to say and so many people to thank…I just don’t know where to start,” Whittall said. “I can’t say enough about everyone at RBH Racing. Since day one, they’ve treated me, as well as my entire family, like family of their own. It’s a dream come true to come to Australia and drive for their race team. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity.”
ON DECK:
Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports will activate their American season with
a visit to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania. Although the team
plans to miss the two-day Ice Breaker, an eventual early to mid-March trip
to the Pigeon Hills will be utilized as a season shakedown. More updates
will be posted in the coming days.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Justin Whittall, JW Motorsports and RBH Racing would like to thank all of
their marketing partners including: RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG
Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body,
Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant.

First Time Ever! Texas Motor Speedway Midget Championship March 20-21!
Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (2/11/26). The Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track is thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League will be taking on the ‘in your face’ action atop the 1/5-mile on Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st!
In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself will attract the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Here’s the whole scoop:
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS as well as many national ‘invaders’ - as there are very few other midget events scheduled nationally this particular weekend. Paired with the fact that very few of these drivers have yet to compete on the recently upgraded and converted Lil’ TMS dirt track, it will make for even more added drama.
Drivers such as Jacob Denney, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Colton Robinson, Karter Sarff, Chase McDermand, Brandon Carr, Zach Daum, Alex Karpowicz, Trey Marcham, Andrew Felker, Alex Sewell, Kris Carroll, Pierce Urbanosky, Ray Brewer, Branigan Roark, Zane Lawrence, Shaun Shapel & a large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. Additional specific driver entries will be announced as registrations arrive.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).
A special event info hub has been built to keep fans and teams informed of the latest event information. By clicking www.darinshort.com/powri.html you can find a variety of information: ticket links, nightly event lineup, latest event news, track weather & directions, and all the details you need to get the most out of your weekend at the track.

Don’t miss the first ever visit of the POWRi National & West Region Midgets at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, along with the Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's, for what is sure to be two wild nights of dirt track racing action on March 20th & 21st!
Meet Perris Auto Speedway New Race Director Steve Russell
Perris, California — February 9, 2026 — When Perris Auto Speedway kicks off its historic 30th Diamond Anniversary season this Saturday, February 14, there will be a new race director for the PASSCAR classes and subsequent Nights of Destruction beginning on February 21. Taking over for longtime race director Steve Aldis is past Southern California First Division Speedway Motorcycle racer Steve Russell.
Russell first came to the track, affectionately known to fans as “The PAS,” before COVID, when he took over as the scoreboard operator. Unfortunately, due to his commitment to his day job, he had to step aside. Three years ago, when track starter Kevin Winters moved to Minnesota, the famous Riverside County speed plant put out the word that it was looking to hire a starter. Russell, who lives in Temecula, California, said his day job had changed and he would like to apply for the job. As soon as promoter Don Kazarian got word that Russell wanted to apply, the search was over. He said the job was his.

The past motorcycle racer excelled in the new post. In addition to flagging PASSCAR Stock Car Races and the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, he also flagged World of Outlaws and High Limit Sprint Cars at the track. Once again, he took to the job immediately and did an impressive job. That brought us to 2025 and Aldis' decision to step aside from his long-time race director position. This time, there was not a hunt to hire someone. Kazarian immediately wanted Russell to fill the role. When the promoter asked him if he wanted the job, Russell quickly accepted.
“Steve has the demeanor I was looking for,” Kazarian said. “He has experience. He spent enough time last year to be seasoned in that job and do it like a pro in 2026. Steve Aldiss did a great job training him.”

On Monday night, Russell took some time to talk about his racing background and the new position.
PAS: Race Director is another new job for you at Perris Auto Speedway. How excited are you about this?
Russell: I am really excited. I am looking forward to it, with it being the 30th year for Perris Auto Speedway. It is going to be some great racing and fun for the fans. I like the position, and I like working with all of the drivers and the team at Perris Auto Speedway. Being able to work with Don is exciting as well.
PAS: After such a long time being involved in Speedway Motorcycle racing, did you ever think you would be working in auto racing?
Russell: I did not think I would work in auto racing. That is a funny question. I always liked going (to auto races) but I did not see myself working in it. I kind of got the bug when I was doing the scoreboard. Then it was exciting being the starter. Now I am looking forward to this new adventure.
PAS: Let's talk about your grandpa, Warren Russell. He was big into racing, including Indy Cars.
Russell: Yes, my grandpa was big into Indy Cars. He had some friends who ran the Indy 500 and actually won the Indy 500 (Jim Rathmann in 1960). Grandpa would go every year and spend some time back at Indy. He had a drag race funny car, a couple of top fuel hydros. He had a land speed record for a while. I have always been around some form of racing.
PAS: Your grandpa had a company name Russell and Russell. One of my favorite stories about him is that his company put in the initial grandstands at Ascot in the 1950s, and about 38 years later, it put the initial grandstands in at Perris Auto Speedway. He also put grandstands in at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles and every year at the Rose Parade.
Russell: Yes, he did have a construction company. Looking back, I started working there at a really young age. Before that, I would go in and hang out with him during the day. Working there taught me a lot. A little about everything. Driving a forklift, towing a forklift, loading trucks, and doing some construction stuff. Looking back, it was a great learning experience and taught me a lot.
PSA: He also got you started in racing. How did that come about, and what persuaded you to race Speedway?
Russell: I was at the office one day with him. I had been doing some motocross riding for fun. I asked him what he thought about going motocross racing. He thought that was kind of dangerous and said let’s look at Speedway. I kind of laughed as we were going to do Speedway with no brakes. He got me a bike and the stuff I needed to go with it. We started going every weekend to Ken Maely’s place in Corona. We would go there and ride every weekend.
PAS: If I remember correctly, that was the mid-80s, correct?
Russell: That was probably 1985, and I started competing in Speedway in 1986. That was in Third Division. I moved all the way up to First Division with him. He sponsored me in my time doing that. I rode First Division for a lot of years in So Cal. We had a great time doing it together. I ended up getting hurt in 1991 or 1992. I had reconstructive knee surgery and stepped away from racing for a really long time. We actually moved out of state for a bit, but we came back in 2010. My grandpa and I were having lunch together again. I looked at him and said, ‘What do you think about going Speedway racing again?’ So we started racing again from 2010 to 2015.
PAS: Your grandpa not only sponsored you, but he sponsored and helped a lot of the top riders in So Cal. That exposed you to some other riders. Which of those guys helped you?
Russell: Bobby Schwartz was a big help to me. My grandpa started sponsoring him right when I was moving into Second Division. My grandpa helped him, and Bobby helped me. Steve Lucero was a big help. Kelly Inman was a big help, too. Actually, for a season or two, we actually worked together. He sponsored me, built a bike for me, and I rode for him.
PAS: Lets go back to your new job at Perris. Is there anything you can think of that may be a challenge for you?
Russell: I think there is going to be a learning curve for sure at the beginning. I was directing the races for the last couple of months at the end of 2025. Steve (Aldis) was a huge help in transitioning and getting me into that role, and learning. I think the biggest part will be knowing the rules right away when they happen. I have had the whole off-season to brush up on that. When I am up in the press box, I will have my notebook and everything to help. What I hope to do is run fair racing for everybody. Keep it safe and keep the program moving along. Being there to listen to the drivers, but also keep a firm hand on what is going on as well. It is really fast-paced, and there is a lot going on in the press box that you have to block out because there are so many of us up there. I think it is going to be a good season.
PAS: Anything else to add about your new gig?
Russell: I am thankful to Don for the opportunity to be the race director. I am also thankful for Steve spending that extra time working with me and helping me move into this position. Also, the whole Perris Auto Speedway team. It is a great group of guys that work really well together. I am thankful for that as well.
When Russell moved up to the press box, Chris Fulton, whose father is track man Rick “Coach” Fulton, immediately took over as the starter at the track.

Johnson represents Region Four – the Upper Midwest Region as part of the RPM balloting.
“This is an incredible honor,” stated Johnson. “While this award is extremely special, it truly reflects a team effort. I wouldn’t be standing here without the people who surround me and give me the opportunity to do what I love at the race track.

I especially want to thank my wife. Racing has been our life, and the track means so much to us. We hope to continue this tradition for many years to come.”

Today, the organization continues under the leadership of her son, Brett Root.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Wrap Up DIRTcar Nationals With Two Podiums
Inside Line Promotions – BARBERVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 9, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports opened the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series points season with back-to-back second-place finishes last weekend at Volusia Speedway Park.
Following a crash on Wednesday during the 55th annual Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals opener and a rain out on Thursday, David Gravel guided the team to runner-up results on both Friday and Saturday. That currently places him tied for the World of Outlaws championship lead.
“I felt like we brought it every day and were fast every time we hit the race track,” he said. “Aside from getting turned into the wall (on Wednesday), it was a very good week for us.”
Gravel set quick time during his qualifying group, won a heat race and finished third in the dash each of the three race nights. That lined him up on the inside of the second row in every main event.
On Wednesday, Gravel was in third place when contact from a driver behind him sent him into the frontstretch wall. The impact approximately one third of the way through the 25-lap feature destroyed the race car and ended Gravel’s night early.
“I was running the bottom and guys were running the top and getting runs on me,” he said. “I was deciding it was time to get off the bottom. I got to the top off turn four and had the track to myself and moved up. All of a sudden I was in the wall and spinning around. I didn’t know what happened until I saw the video. I was coming up the track. Logan (Schuchart) had a run. He misjudged hitting my back bumper. It wasn’t malicious or on purpose.”
The team built a kit car prior to Friday’s event, which served as the first points night of the season for the World of Outlaws. Gravel fell to fourth on the start of the main event before moving into third place on Lap 7. He advanced to second on Lap 12 and reeled in the leader.
“We had a couple of shots at Buddy (Kofoid) there,” he said. “Sometimes the lappers slowed him down and sometimes me down. I had two shots at getting by him and he always returned the move. I just wasn’t able to seal the deal.”
The weekend concluded on Saturday with a similar circumstance as Gravel made a last-lap pass to take the lead briefly before the pass was returned.
“I felt we were pressuring (Anthony Macri) and getting good runs being low off turn two down the backstretch, but it’s so hard to get enough of a run to get alongside him to where he couldn’t go down and protect,” he said. “We had a head of steam coming to the white and he was slowed by the lapper. I slid across (in turn one) thinking we were going to be in good shape. The lapped car slipped up just enough and Anthony did a good job to get underneath him. It was a game of inches. If I were to redo that I could do things a little bit different, but I was in the mindset that lapped car had the bottom lane blocked and that wasn’t the case.”
The team will have the next two weekends off before resuming World of Outlaws competition at Volusia Speedway Park March 1-2 during the Bike Week Jamboree.
“You can always be better, but our qualifying program is lights out right now,” Gravel said. “I’m very, very proud of that. From there, the track is always a little different in the features. There’s things the driver could clean up a little bit and things we could do with the car, but overall I’m very, very happy. Truly we had a chance to win every night if a couple little things go our way so I’m looking forward to coming back to Volusia.”

Brian Brown concludes Volusia visit with top-five in WoO’s DIRTcar Nationals finale; Sin City road trip on deck
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (February 9, 2026) - Brian Brown’s
season-opening trip to the Sunshine State is officially complete, and
despite a few hiccups in the mix including interference by Mother Nature on
night two of the four-day World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series program,
“Blackjack” did his best to maintain focus, eventually concluding
competition with a pair of top-tens. Brown, who calls Grain Valley,
Missouri, home, saved his best achievement for last, concluding the World of
Outlaws segment of the annual DIRTcar Nationals with a fifth-place outcome
on Saturday, February 7, starting from the pole before leading the first six
circuits.
As noted, Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen
Custard, Wilkerson Crane Service, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain
Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car,
concluded the World of Outlaws stretch with two top-tens, the first being a
tenth-place run from row seven to launch action on February 4.
With his Sunshine State stint complete, Brown will now look
west, ready to help High Limit Racing kick-off their 2026 campaign in Sin
City on March 12-14.
“Feels great to cap two weeks with a World of Outlaws
top-five. I feel like our car was good enough to win, things just didn’t
play out, and maybe I didn’t make all the right decisions from my seat.
Regardless, all except one night we were in contention to win and that’s
motivating, ” Brown stated. “Chad, JB, Devin..they worked hard our entire
trip and did a phenomenal job. A great way to kick-off the year, as well as
a great way to get a feel for my wrist and its condition. Gives me an idea
on what I need to do before we head to Las Vegas. I'm still battling a
little stiffness in my forearm, but I feel like I know what I need to do.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with
High Limit Racing’s season-opening Blackjack Bash at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 12-14.

Thiel launches WoO Rookie campaign with solid
performances at Volusia, set to return for Bike Week Jamboree
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 9, 2026
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (February 9, 2026) – “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports made the most of their World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series rookie campaign sendoff at Volusia Speedway Park, and although box scores may not paint the whole picture, notes were assembled and confidence was attained, already aiming big in their return to Volusia for the Bike Week Jamboree in early March.
Thiel, a former IRA Series champion who calls Sheboygan, Wisconsin, home, highlighted his DIRTcar Nationals effort with back-to-back A-Main appearances on Friday and Saturday, February 6-7, finishing 19th and 21st, officially, while achieving important Series points in the process. As noted, Thiel and Greg Wheeler will get their shot at Volusia redemption in just a few weeks, returning for two nights before heading north and west to Alabama.
“It was a decent week for our team, for sure. I just need to knock some rust off,” Thiel, ace of the Scott Thiel Builders, Gibbsville Cheese, Flint Trucking, Professional Plating, No. 16C sprinter, said. “We had some highlights and I’m proud of our efforts. Our results didn’t reflect our potential. I can’t make the mistakes I made against this caliber of guys. You can find yourself behind the eight ball in a hurry. Truly happy with the speed we had. I knew that the package we put together would be good. We have some time off to regroup and get even more prepared to hit the road.”

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall rolls to back-to-back
top-tens in Perth’s Mr. Sprintcar Nationals
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 9, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (February 9, 2026) – Back-to-back nights at Perth Motorplex resulted in back-to-back top-tens for Justin Whittall and RBH Racing, doing so in the two-day Mr. Sprintcar Nationals on Friday and Saturday, February 6-7. Whittall, who has been Down Under since November, finished fifth and seventh in the two-day program, launching Saturday’s finale with the fastest qualifying time overall.
As noted, Whittall’s time Down Under has been extensive, but his schedule will come to a close soon, as only three dates remain on his 2025/2026 Tour of Australia, all three being at Perth Motorplex in Western Australia. Action will resume Wednesday, February 11, with Midweek Sprintcar Mayhem, followed by the two-day Krikke Boys Shootout on February 13-14.
“Overall, just a great weekend for our RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 team. They never stop working to improve and I’m ever grateful to be a part of this journey,” Whittall said. “We have a few races left before I head home to New Jersey, so we’ll do what we can to leave on top.”

Double-D concludes Volusia visit, all eyes on Lincoln’s Ice Breaker
Weekend
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 9, 2026
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (February 9, 2026) – It was a tough week in the Sunshine State for “Double-D” Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, and although the team fell short of their goals, it’s full steam ahead, already in full prep mode for the upcoming two-day Ice Breaker Weekend at Lincoln Speedway beginning February 28.
Dietrich, Central Pennsylvania’s sprint car champion in 2025, will work to sweep the two-day Pennsylvania lidlifter – the perfect send off for what proves to be another competitive year in the Keystone State.
As hinted, it was a tough outing for Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing in Florida, missing each of the World of Outlaws A-Main contests in the four-day turned three-day DIRTcar Nationals (Thursday’s event falling to Mother Nature) program.
“We’ll learn from our mistakes and move on…that’s all anyone can do,” Dietrich, driver of the Gary Kauffman owned, Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, No. 48 sprint car, said. “Hats off to my guys. No matter what was thrown their way, they worked through it. Regardless of our results or bad luck, we made the best of our trip to Volusia. But for now, it’s time to get ready for Lincoln.”

Perris Auto Speedway’s 30th Season Opener Is One Week Away
Perris, California — February 7, 2026 — For longtime racing fans in Southern California, it may seem hard to believe, but the 30th season opener at Perris Auto Speedway is just one week away. The milestone campaign launches on Saturday, February 14, when the track hosts the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, along with the PASSCAR Super Stocks and American Factory Stocks. Spectator gates open at 5:00 PM, with racing getting underway at 7:05. One week later, on February 21, Night of Destruction makes its 2026 debut.
The season opener marks the first of 24 nights of racing action on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval, conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds.
Headlining the sprint car portion of the opener is RJ
Johnson, the second-generation standout from Laveen, Arizona, who will be
chasing a rare three-peat in the USAC/CRA Series. Joining him in pursuit of
a three-peat is American Factory Stock standout David Stites of Canyon Lake,
who is also aiming for his fourth Factory Stock championship in five years.
Stites comes in red-hot after winning the first five Factory Stock races of
2025.

Equally dominant in 2025 was Shaun Estes of Riverside, who
controlled the PASSCAR Street Stock division. Estes won six of seven main
events, finishing second in the lone race he didn’t win. The effort earned
him his second Street Stock championship, though unlike Johnson and Stites,
his return to the top required patience—thirteen years, to be exact.

“Somehow, the first race at The PAS was 30-years ago on March 30,” Kazarian said. “Actually, it should be our 31st season. However, in 2020, we only got one race in due to Covid. We do not count that one.”
Fans attending in 2026 will also enjoy lower ticket prices. Adult tickets and tickets for seniors 65 and over on USAC/PASSCAR nights have been reduced by $5.00, now priced at $30.00 and $25.00, respectively. The speedway has also brought back student pricing for teens ages 13–17, with tickets reduced by $20.00 to just $15.00. Kids ages 6–12 are $10.00, active military with ID are admitted for $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. Fairgrounds parking is $20.00.
“On a sprint car night, the teen ticket is a huge savings,” Kazarian said in January when the schedule was released. “It is a $20.00 savings on those tickets from last year’s price. And it will be a $10.00 savings on Night of Destruction. I looked at other racetracks in Northern California, Central California, and Arizona. Most tracks in our marketplace have a teen price, and we are bringing them back.”
Advance tickets for all races are available at tix.com. Fans who prefer to buy on race night can do so, as plenty of tickets will be available at the ticket window.
“In addition to the lower ticket prices, we plan on putting the fun back in racing this year. Sprint Car/PASSCAR Stock Car shows and Nights of Destruction will all be filled with family fun.”

MISSISSIPPI / ALABAMA SPRINTS SET FOR MOBILE RETURN IN 2026
February 5, 2026 – The Mississippi / Alabama Sprints are set to return to Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama on 4 occasions in 2026, with additional races in the planning stages.
The winged sprint cars will return to the high-banked half-mile MIS on March 28 with additional races currently scheduled for April 25, May 23, and August 22.
Event organizer Fred Fayard indicated an additional 2-3 races will most likely be added to the schedule and announced soon. Fayard has made no secret about his plans to bring pavement sprint car racing back to the Panhandle area on a regular basis. Fayard is the single reason for the return of winged sprint cars to MIS. He personally has secured the funding to make this venture possible.
All the events will be open tire races for 360 c.i. engines paying $2,000 to win and $500 to start.
“We’ve got four dates already announced and we’re working on two more” confirmed Fayard. “We’re still negotiating with track owner Eddie Shoemaker. These are just gonna be open shows. We’re not gonna keep points or crown a champion. We’re racing for the pleasure of it.
“I’m up to eighteen cars who have confirmed they will
participate in all these races with the possibility for more. I’m excited.
It’s gonna be a great year for us. Like I said, we’re working on 2-3 more
races. We just announced four originally to let the racers know we we’re
serious and get them to start getting ready. We might add a race at another
track, but we’ll see” concluded Fayard.
Winged sprint cars returned to MIS last April 26. after a six-year hiatus.
Tampa, Florida driver Johnny Gilbertson won a thriller I front of a huge
crowd. The popularity of the winged sprint cars led Fayard to add two more
races later in the year last season.

KINGSHOTT’S STRONG EAST COAST TRIP
Strong finishes in two of the biggest 410 Sprintcar events of the 2025-26 season in the form of the Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship saw Dayne Kingshott and the Krikke Motorsport team come away from their most recent east coast trip very satisfied.
In what was their second east coast trip of the season, Dayne and the team were amongst the podium contenders in the Grand Annual Classic at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway in Victoria before going on to finish in fourth, and then they backed up that performance the following weekend with a hard-charging sixth-place finish in the Australian Championship at Mount Gambier’s Borderline Speedway in South Australia. There was no question about it, Dayne certainly had to work hard to achieve what he did in those two events, after he had started the Grand Annual Classic deciding feature race from position 10 and then in what was a mixed Australian Championship weekend, he started from deep in the feature race field – position 16 – and went on to come home in strong fashion to finish in sixth.
“I’m really satisfied to come away with strong finishes in two of the biggest events of the season on the east coast,” commented the WA # 2 Mobil 1 / Bunbury Toyota supported Maxim driver.
“The whole Krikke Motorsport team worked very hard over this busy fortnight on the east coast taking on the biggest teams in Australia, and although I look back over this trip with happiness, it’s hard not to think what might have been had I started a bit further up in the feature race field order at both the Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship.”
Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke echoed his driver’s thoughts on their recently concluded east coast trip.
“It’s been a big fortnight and to pick up two strong results in the Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship is something I’m very proud of,” he said.
“I feel like we were competitive every time we hit the track over this past fortnight and that's a testament to what Dayne, crew chief Matt (Cochrane) and rest of the team have been building. These tracks couldn’t be more different to the Perth Motorplex and Dayne’s exposure to these types of small tracks and high level of competition is minimal really, so I’m rapt with everything we achieved.”
With the east coast trip now concluded for Dayne and the team, their attention now turns to resumption of the Maddington Toyota Series, which Dayne currently holds down a strong point standings lead, with this Friday and Saturday night’s $40,077 to win Barbagallo Australian MR Sprintcar Nationals at the Perth Motorplex.

In his second year in a Late Model, Demetrios Drellos, a Big-Block Modified standout, followed the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour for the first time and finished fourth in points, which earned him the $3,000 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year honors beating out Zack Carley after a year-long battle.

He captured his first career Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Hone Tour victory on July 3 at Tyler County Speedway fending off Wonderling. Thomas earned a total of $2,300 in point fund monies.
George Casto III had an excellent season to earn the Russ King Racing Futures Cup Championship as a 17-year-old.

In total, the Reynoldsville, WV driver earned $1,750 in point fund monies plus was the lucky recipient of the $1,000 Dave Poske's Performance Parts gift card!
Former RUSH Sportsman Modified Futures Cup Champion, Blaze Myers, won his first RUSH Sprint Car title since making the move to the Sprint Car division in 2021. Myers of Franklin, Pa. won a personal best 11 times in route to the $5,000 Billy's Garage Weekly Series title for car owner Ted Hull. Myers now has 26 career Sprint Car victories.
Former RUSH Karting racer, Wyatt Long, made the successful jump to the RUSH Sprint Cars in 2025 and won the Russ King Racing Futures Cup Championship. After some early season struggles with no top 5s in the first 12 races, Long caught fire beginning July 6 at Stateline when he finished fifth. From that point on, the 17-year-old Georgetown, PA driver became one of the most consistent top finishers in the Series ripping off 12 top 5s to end the season! Long also won the non-winners race at Tri-City.
Chas Wolbert celebrated his fourth RUSH Sportsman Modified Weekly Series title and first ever in the "Route 7 Rumble" Series. The Warren, Ohio driver won 14 times and took home a personal best $4,500 in point fund monies. Wolbert won the 2020 and 2021 Weekly Series titles before competing full-time in Big-Block Modifieds in 2022 and 2023 and returned to the class to win titles each of the last two years.
Karston King, a third generation Modified racer, turned 15 during this past season, which was his second in a RUSH Sportsman. After tying for seventh in the 2024 Weekly Series points and sixth in the Route 7 Rumble, the North Bloomfield, Ohio racer was able to move into the top 5 in points of both Series in 2025 in addition to winning the Futures Cup title, presented by his Uncle Russ’ Russ King Racing business. King finished in the top 5 on seven occasions and failed to finish in the top 10 just twice out of 20 starts. His career best finish came on August 15 when he finished second at Raceway 7, which helped him to finish third in the Route 7 Rumble.
Josh Wilcox became a new RUSH champion taking the $3,500 Pro Mod Weekly Series title. After running limited RUSH Pro Mod events in 2021 and 2022, the 40-year-old Bradford, PA driver joined the Series as a member in 2023 and finished eighth in points. The 2024 season was a dramatic increase moving up to second in points trailing Zain Harvey, who set a Series single season record with 19 victories. Wilcox got off to a hot start in 2025 winning three of the first five races he competed in taking the early lead in points and one he’d never relinquish. He ended the season with a Series best five wins including three triumphs at Stateline and two at McKean. Amazingly, Wilcox finished in the top 5 in 17 of his 20 starts.
Fifteen-year-old RUSH Pro Mod rookie Trenton Curry of Jamestown, NY copped the Russ King Racing Futures Cup crown.
In 2023, Kaden Michael won the RUSH Stock Car Futures Cup crown. In 2024, the son of RUSH Late Model veteran, Andy Michael, took the next step capturing the Weekly Series title thanks to 11 wins in 22 races! This past season, the 17-year-old Allegany, NY driver was able to win at four of the five tracks that hosted events including three wins at both Stateline and Eriez, a victory at Freedom, along with his first career Tri-City win in his first ever visit! For the third straight year, Michael is a RUSH Champion- this time taking his second straight Weekly Series title worth $2,000!
Raiddan Wilson captured the Russ King Racing Futures Cup Championship for the RUSH Stock Cars, The 17-year-old Great Valley, NY driver won 10 races, just one less than Michael. Most impressively was the fact Wilson had 35 top 5s in 39 races!
The highlight of the banquet was the special awards ceremony. The prestigious Legacy Award was won by RUSH Late Model racer Scott Gurdak. His legacy goes back well beyond the Chevrolet Performance Crate Engine racing era; in fact, this driver started his career back in 1975. Over his 50+ years he’s won in numerous divisions; Stocks, Sportsman, Super Late Models, Big-Block Modifieds, RUSH Pro Mods and RUSH Late Models. He won 49 Big-Block Modified races alone at 10 different speedways. He’s raced against the World of Outlaws and the Super DIRTcar Series.
For the past 11 years he’s primarily been a regular on the tough Eriez-Stateline circuit with his RUSH Late Model winning numerous races and always finishing near the top of the standings. From 2016-2021, he did double duty also running a RUSH Pro Mod where he won five features and finished in the top 4 in points in his first three seasons when he competed for the championships. Throughout his illustrious career, he’s been a hard-nosed racer, but always well respected both on and off the track. He's always maintained his jovial spirit and has brought many a smile to both his friends and competitors!
Nineteen-year-old Ben Easler won the Horizon Award. Easler made the move from go-karts into full-size race cars in 2021 aboard a RUSH Sportsman Modified. He had immediate success winning a feature event, finishing fourth in the Weekly Series points and capturing the Futures Cup title. He took a huge step forward in 2022 winning six features and the Weekly Series Championship. He added four more wins in a runner-up in points in 2023, which would be his final year in a RUSH Sportsman Mod.
In 2024, he jumped into the RUSH Late Models winning a Weekly Series event at Eriez Speedway and took on the Tour where he finished 11th in points. This past season was a major step forward with additional top 5s and top 10s, and even though he didn’t win any races, what increased was his competition level on the Tour. After only recording 2 top 10s in 2024 Touring competition, Easler reeled off 8 in 2025. He recorded his first career top 5s in back-to-back races in July at Tyler County and Ohio Valley Speedways then came home a career best 3rd in the $10,000 to-win Bill Hendren Memorial in October at Pittsburgh! In the end, Easler finished fifth in points and +6 gain over 2024.
Chas Wolbert won the first of two Outstanding Achievement Awards that were presented. Wolbert won his unprecedented fourth Weekly Series title in the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds in addition to his first "Route 7 Rumble" title. His 14 victories in 2025 set a new single season win record for the division, and bumped his all-time leading total to 68 victories.
The second Outstanding Achievement was awarded to Tim Engles of Franklin, PA. A former "410" Sprint Car and Big-Block Modified racer became a car owner first for his son Jason then had a ton of success in the E-Mods with standout drivers Steve Dixon and David Scott. In between, Engles has been involved with the BRP Mod Tour and also had involvement in the promotional team at Tri-City Speedway.
In 2021, Engles went a more affordable route in the RUSH Sprint Cars and won three championships and 25 races with Chad Ruhlman. The last two years has saw Brent Rhebergen and Zach Morrow each win a pair of features and finish in the top five in points. This past season was Engles' last as a car owner as he sold his operation recently to longtime crew member, Tim Phillips, who will continue to have Morrow drive the car.
The 2025 RUSH Car Owner-of-the-Year was awarded to Ted Hull. The veteran car owner from Oil City, PA had Blaze Myers in his car for the second straight year. This time, Myers won his first RUSH Sprint Car Championship and gave Hull his second as a car owner as Jeremy Weaver won the 2020 title. Myers won 10 of his 11 races this past season driving for Hull, who now has 26 career RUSH Sprint Car victories with four different drivers in seven years of ownership. Ted's father, Cal, a 96-year-old former racer himself, joined Ted to accept the honors.
Demetrios Drellos was recognized with the 2025 Miles Traveled Award. Drellos hit the road full-time with the RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series season winning the 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year. It's estimated Drellos traveled 13,000 miles from his home in Queensbury, NY to compete in the 18 completed events.
Mike Wonderling was given the Appreciation Award. The 52-year-old Wellsville, NY veteran completed his third year on the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour as 2025 was his 28th year of racing and his last as a full-time driver.
Special thanks to Velocita-USA for providing custom drivers suits to the five Weekly Series Champions; Wonderling, Myers, Wolbert, Wilcox, and Michael. Landrum presented the inaugural "Loyalty Bonus" in 2025 to RUSH Late Model Touring Series driver, Jason Knowles, which was worth $5,000.

Blackjack opens 2026 season with back-to-back ASCS
top-tens at Volusia
ByTyler Altmeyer
February 2, 2026
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (February 2, 2026) – “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing launched their 2026 season in a big way, igniting action with their traditional Missouri exodus to Florida to join the best in the country for the annual DIRTcar Nationals. Brown, who has been sidelined since August when his hand was injured at Knoxville Raceway, launched his new year with ASCS National Tour competition at Volusia Speedway Park on January 29-30, concluding the first two nights at speed with back-to-back top-tens.
Brown, the Grain Valley, Missouri, native and ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Wilkerson Crane Service, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mountain Dew, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, finished fourth and tenth, respectively, actually earning the pole position on Friday before missing a crucial setup component.
Due to weather, Saturday’s ASCS National Tour DIRTcar Nationals finale – worth $12,000-to-win – has been postponed to Monday.
“Pretty decent start to our 2026 campaign,” Brown was quick to state. “Came out pretty quick on Thursday to finish fourth after battling towards the front. Friday, we tried some things in the A-Main to get even better for Saturday, but we missed it one-thousand percent. My wrist feels pretty good…I wouldn’t say it’s ‘normal’ yet, but it’s definitely allowing me to do my job. I’m still learning to deal with it, but overall, it feels pretty decent. Chad, Justin, Devin…everyone is doing a phenomenal job. We’re going to do what we can to cap this ASCS stretch with a win, then have a great four days with the Outlaws beginning Wednesday.
“Also, I would like to thank everyone from Housby, Randy Timms of Western Flyer Express, Tim from Spring Pro, as well as Mesilla Valley Transportation for all stepping up and lending a hand when our truck broke down on the way to Florida,” Brown added. “So many other people reached out and tried to help us out and we’re ever grateful for that. When the entire sprint car community steps up like that to lend a hand, it really feels great.”

Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2026 campaign with
ASCS National Tour competition at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville,

GUILFORD STEPS IN FOR BOHUD RACING
New Zealand’s Max Guilford has been one of the finds of the Australian 410 Sprintcar season so far, and for the month of February, he will join the Bohud Racing team.
As the return of regular driver Michael Stewart from injury is not too far away, the 24-year-old from Auckland will steer the NS # 14 Losi / Illawarra Truck Repairs & Spares supported Triple X car for the next four weekends of racing.
“I’m looking forward to joining the Bohud Racing team, as they have a top operation and I’m confident of us being able to do some good things together,” expressed Guilford.
“I’ve done a lot of racing so far this season in Australia, and I’m really excited about getting back to Sydney, as I had a strong run that saw me pick up a podium finish during my first visit there last month, and with the Bohud Racing team being very strong around there, I’m hoping we can come together and contend for wins.”
Bohud Racing’s team owner Scott Jones is excited about having Guilford joining them for this month’s racing, which will see them compete at Wagga Speedway on February 7, Western Sydney Speedway on February 14, Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway in Queensland on February 21 for the Ultimate Pink Night (TBC) and then back at Western Sydney Speedway on February 28.
“Max has been able to put in a number of impressive drives at major events here in Australia and he also came off a strong campaign over in America last year, so he has plenty of recent runs on the board,” he enthused.
“I’m confident Max is going to be able to hit the ground running with our team and we can provide him with a great car, and there is no reason we can’t be amongst the front running contenders straight away.”

Logan Fenton and Brent Marks Launch New Team Ahead of 2026 High Limit Series Campaign
Myerstown, Pennsylvania (January 30, 2026) – Fenton Marks Racing Development officially announces a new partnership between Logan Fenton and Brent Marks uniting experience, performance, and leadership in pursuit of the 2026 High Limit Racing Championship.
This collaboration brings together proven on-track success and off-track strategy to build a competitive, sustainable racing organization at the highest level of sprint car competition.
There will be an additional development team and the drivers will be announced in the coming weeks and the primary focus will be on developing younger talent in the industry.
Brent Marks will serve as the primary resource for driver and crew development, performance and experience guidance. Logan Fenton will shift his focus to program building, business and marketing consulting, team structure and operations.
Pennsylvania native Brent Marks, eight-time High Limit Racing race winner during the 2025 season, will pilot the Fenton Marks Racing Development No. 19, while working to better his most recent championship-seeking performance that concluded third in High Limit Racing final standings.
In addition to their High Limit Racing commitments, Brent Marks and company will hit a number of other high profile events such as the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and other local races across the country to fill the gaps.
The 2026 High Limit Racing season will officially get underway March 12–14 with the SugarBee® Blackjack Bash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Prior to the series opener, Brent Marks and Fenton Marks Racing Development will head to the Sunshine State to compete in the Dirtcar Nationals, scheduled for February 4–7.

ATTICA, Ohio – Attica Raceway Park will host a special anniversary race Thursday, May 14 that will pay $20,000 to win ($1,200 to start) for 410 winged sprint cars.
“This is will honor the 20th anniversary of John Bores becoming the promoter of Attica Raceway Park.

Liskai said there could be other incentives of the unsanctioned race as more details are still being ironed out. He said the total purse on May 14 will be $68,500.
“This is a great compliment to the two World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car events we will host in 2026. It’s just part of John’s efforts to get more funds into the hands of the race teams,” noted Liskai.
Liskai said the full 2026 racing schedule will be released in the very near future. Opening night for the 2026 season is slated for Friday, March 13.

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing Set For Busy Slate in 2026
PETERSEN MEDIA: In 2026, Rio Osso, CA’s Landon Brooks will again be behind the wheel of the Hamilton Racing No. 21L with car owners Roger and Lori Hamilton as the team will set their primary focus on the NARC Championship.
With an organizational change coming near the end of 2025, the team moved its equipment to Chico, CA where it will be under the care of Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst at Tiner Hirst Ent. The duo will continue to handle the day to day, and raceday operations for the team and hope to build off the instant success they saw in the final races of last season.
“I am really excited to be back with Roger and Lori Hamilton in 2026, and I am super excited for the schedule we have put together, “ Landon Brooks said. “I think it will be super fun to compete for the NARC Championship, and to have Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst in my corner again, I am extremely confident in what we can achieve.”
The Tiner/Hirst/Brooks combo is tried and true. Back in 2023, Brooks piloted the THE house car to four victories and came into his own as a winged sprint car driver. Reuniting at the end of 2025, they picked up where they left off as they won the Mark Forni Classic at Placerville Speedway, and backed that up with a win during the opening night of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA.
Looking forward to a full season together, the excitement is equal out of the Tiner Hirst Ent. shop, as work continues in preparation for the NARC opener in one months time at Merced Speedway.
“Steven and I are super grateful that Roger and Lori Hamilton chose us to be a part of their race team,” Kyle Hirst said. “It is really cool to be paired back up with Landon Brooks and continue to work with such a young and talented driver. I am probably as excited for this season as I used to get when I was behind the wheel, and with all that is happening with 410ci racing in CA it really is great timing and something special to be a part of.”
As for Tiner, he too expressed his excitement for the season ahead.
“Heading into 2026, I am super excited to be surrounded by great people and I am looking forward to continuing to work with Roger and Lori Hamilton and their race team,” Steven Tiner said. “I am a firm believer that if you surround yourself with great people then great things will happen, and the Hamilton family has built a great race team. I am so excited that we get to continue to work with such a young and talented driver in Landon Brooks. Kyle and I have had success with him in the past, and we are both excited to see how much he can continue to progress and achieve success.”
Aside from the NARC Championship chase, the Lipper Construction/Tiner Hirst Ent./Mozingo Construction backed No. 21L will also be in action at 11 Sprint Car Challenge Tour events, including the series’ Speedweek through the Northwest, as well as all six High Limit events later this Summer, and will also take part in the Trophy Cup as well as the Fall Nationals.
“Honestly, I really feel like this is a dream team,” Brooks added. “Roger and Lori Hamilton are amazing car owners and great friends, Steven and Kyle are really good at what they do and we have had so much success together, and to add that in with some awesome partners including Dave Lippert, and Dan Ewart and you can’t help but be excited. We all have great relationships and that makes it extremely fun and definitely helps lead to success.”
Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing would like to thank Lippert Construction, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Mozingo Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, Clow Valve, Vinyltech PVC Pipe, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, B Scadden Designs, SIP, North Bay Waterworks, Custom Pipe & Fabrication, Star Pipe Products, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, Eagle Chassis, XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. HRP, Sander Engineering, K1 Racegear, Kevin Sharrah Designs, Petersen Media, Met Tec Titanium, Slade Shocks, Wilwood Disc Brakes, System 1 Pro Ignition, and ZMax for their support.

Mallett Teaming Up With Rains for Aggressive 50-Race Schedule This Season
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (Jan. 29, 2026) - Jordon Mallett is eager to tackle a new opportunity.
Mallett has been selected to pilot A.G. Rains' No. 3 winged sprint car for the 2026 season, which features a schedule of 50-plus races across the Mid-South and Southeastern region of the country.
"Last year was different and really I'm looking forward to the opportunity to drive for someone, especially someone as established as A.G.," Mallett said. "He asked me to drive for him at the end of 2024 for two weekends and I felt like we were really successful right off the bat together. We gelled quickly and we were in contention. We had one slip away at a $10,000-to-win show. For as early as we were in our relationship then, if you give us some time we'll become a threat. He has his program where he likes it and I feel I adapted to it really quickly so with some time we can be a consistent contender."
Mallett produced a pair of second-place finishes and three top 10s during four main event starts with Rains in October 2024. This year's partnership is scheduled to kick off Feb. 13-14 at Southern Raceway in Milton, Fla., with the USCS Series.
"We'll be starting in a couple of weeks with the USCS Series in Florida," Mallett said. "The first off weekend we really have scheduled is at the end of March. Weather will play into all of that, but once we get fired off there aren't a lot of breaks. We're pretty aggressive right now. We have more than 50 races booked. We're not following any points or anything like that. We're just racing to race. We'll be around all of the Southeastern part of the country.
"The goals are really simple. We're setting out to win races. We want to put ourselves in contention each night. If we can put ourselves in contention the wins will come. The biggest thing is putting ourselves in a good spot every time we roll out of the trailer and being prepared to capitalize whenever we are in those situations."

A MONTH OF SPEED FOR MACEDO AND HIGHLINE MOTORSPORT
There was no question about it, American Cole Macedo well and truly stepped up his game throughout his 2025-26 season Australian racing trip with the Highline Motorsport team, and it saw the duo over the past month be amongst the front runners wherever they went.
Despite joining the Perth, Western Australian-based Highline Motorsport team in a last-minute deal, Macedo hit the ground running with the Daryl Clayden-owned team and they never looked back– both on the west coast and most recently on the east coast.
It all started with the busy Christmas-New Year period on the Highline Motorsport team’s home state when they contested the USA VS WA Speedweek Series, which also saw the second annual High Limit International at the Perth Motorplex thrown in there, and Cole was a model of front-running consistency and it nearly saw him come away with the overall USA VS WA Speedweek Series point standings victory but he had to settle for second. During the eight Speedweek Series rounds, Cole finished on the podium on four occasions with it being highlighted by an outstanding final round victory at the Perth Motorplex and also a hard-fought fourth-place finish in the High Limit International.
Brimming with confidence following an impressive Speedweek Series campaign, Cole and the Highline Motorsport team headed over to the east coast, and it saw a continuation of their solid form. Making their first trip to the Tolmer Speedway track in South Australia for the Tolmer Double Down, Cole ran fourth on the opening night and then backed up this speed with a third-place finish on the second and final night.
After the two nights at Tolmer Speedway, Cole and the team ventured to Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway in Victoria for the ARB International Sprintcar Carnival the following night and it resulted in them putting together an outstanding performance and coming away with the $15,000 winner’s cheque for what was their second victory of the trip.
With the President’s Cup at Geelong’s Avalon Raceway in Victoria being a night to forget, Cole and the team bounced back the next night with a top five finish in the Kings Challenge at Mount Gambier’s Borderline Speedway in South Australia.
The main focus of the east coast trip for Cole and the Highline Motorsport team was without a doubt the Grand Annual Classic at Premier Speedway over the Australia Day Long Weekend, and they certainly didn’t disappointment. Following a near-perfect run on the qualifying night by being fastest in qualifying, winning both heat races and then finishing the night second in the preliminary feature race, Cole was one of the hot favourites heading into last Sunday night’s Grand Annual Classic deciding feature race. After starting from position three for the feature race, Cole got to the lead after a dozen or so laps, but it all turned pear shaped on lap nine when he crashed out due to innocently becoming involved in an incident between two lapped cars.
Although Cole’s Australian trip ended in disappointment, Highline Motorsport’s owner Daryl Clayden couldn’t have been prouder of the whole team.
“It’s been a massive month for the Highline Motorsport team from the elation of winning multiple major races on both sides of the country to the devastation of crashing out while leading Australia’s biggest race with a dominant car,” he said.
“I can't thank the whole team enough, as they all worked their butts off, grew and learned together each and every night. Cole is a champion driver and bloke, and I’m so very thankful to him for taking the Highline Motorsport team to new heights.”
With Cole now returning back to his homeland to prepare for his busy 2026 season in America, the Highline Motorsport team now turns its attention to Kodi Clayden and finishing off his rookie 410 Sprintcar season strongly – starting with this Friday and Saturday night’s Australian 410 Sprintcar Championship at Borderline Speedway.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Aiming to Produce Third Straight Championship Campaign
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Jan. 29, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel is seeking to join rare air this season as the team aims to capture a third consecutive World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship.
If accomplished, Gravel would become only the fourth driver to win three World of Outlaws titles in a row and just the fifth driver to garner at least three championships in a career.
“It’s really cool to have the opportunity to do that,” he said. “It’s high on our priority list, but it’s not going to be easy. I feel like we have all the tools to continue what we are doing. I feel we are getting better and stronger as the years go. For only three other drivers to have done it, that’s pretty cool.”
The grueling schedule featuring more than 80 races begins next week when Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., hosts the 55th annual Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals Feb. 4-7.
Gravel, who is entering his sixth year with Big Game Motorsports, has won five of his last 15 World of Outlaws races at the track and the team has earned the DIRTcar Nationals championship two out of the last four years. Last season, Gravel finished second, fourth, third and third, respectively, to end up second in the event standings.
“Time seems to go by faster as you get older,” he said in reference to the offseason. “After Night 1, you’re in the swing of things. It’s a relaxing way to start the year starting in Florida. Definitely love starting the year at Volusia.”
The team is coming off a stellar 2025 campaign that culminated in a second straight World of Outlaws championship. That made Gravel only the sixth driver in the history of the Series to record that feat.
The team led the World of Outlaws in feature wins with 17 (18 total victories during the season) and in podium finishes, top fives and top 10s as well as feature laps led, quick time awards, heat race wins and dash appearances.
“On-track performance, I don’t know how it could get much better,” Gravel said. “We had two parts failures and the driver drove it into the fence the last race of the season. We had that flat tire in California, too. We had three DNFs and did what we did. Realistically the goal is always zero DNFs. Hopefully a maximum of one. Any more than that is really hurting your chances to make it happen.
“Right now the good teams are really, really good. There’s always pressure to stay on top.”

It will be the first Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour show at the track since 2023. Previous winners of the Key Classic in SCCT competition have included Dominic Scelzi on two occasions, along with Shane Golobic.
Thanks to the support of www.shopkylelarson.com all main events with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour are once again a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start this season. It all gets underway with the Thrill on the Hill at Placerville Speedway on April 4th.

Olivia Shelbo Sets Sights on Rookie of the Year Honors in 2026
The 2026 season of the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour will feature a determined contender in the Rookie of the Year battle. Olivia Shelbo prepares for her first full-time campaign on one of the premier pavement sprint car tours. With resilience, patience, and a strong racing foundation behind her, Shelbo enters the season focused on growth, consistency, and making her mark against some of the best drivers in short-track racing.
Shelbo’s journey to the 2026 season has already been shaped by perseverance. She made two starts during the 2024 season, where the team faced early adversity. Her debut season was met with challenges, including engine problems at Anderson Speedway, followed by a serious wreck during practice at Toledo Speedway that halted her season before it could get started. Despite the setbacks, those two races provided critical learning opportunities and further fueled her determination to return stronger and more prepared.
Rather than rushing back, Shelbo took a measured approach to her development in 2025, focusing on building a stronger foundation for the future.
Olivia and her father, Kevin Shelbo, dedicated the season to rebuilding a brand-new racecar from the ground up. It is an achievement that marked a major milestone for the entire team. Kevin also contested five races in the car during the 2025 season, helping to develop the program, gather data, and prepare the equipment for Olivia’s return to competition. The project represented countless hours of work, commitment, and perseverance, strengthening the family-run operation and setting the stage for Olivia’s return to competition in 2026.
Throughout the process, the Shelbo family was surrounded by support from the pavement sprint car community, with teams and competitors stepping up to help along the way. Olivia and her team are especially grateful for the encouragement and support shown by Aaron Pierce, Kevin Besecker, and Brad Larsen, along with many others who made them feel welcomed and supported. That sense of community has become a meaningful part of their journey and a cornerstone of their return to the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour.
The 2026 season represents a fresh start and a new chapter in Shelbo’s racing career. With a full schedule planned and a renewed focus on performance and consistency, her goal is clear: contend for the yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour Rookie of the Year title. The upcoming season will mark her first true opportunity to showcase her ability across the tour’s diverse mix of short tracks, including high-banked bullrings and historic pavement ovals that demand both precision and patience.
Shelbo’s Rookie of the Year campaign is built on more than just on-track performance. It reflects a long-term commitment to growth, resilience through adversity, and the support of a racing family that understands what it takes to compete at a high level. With lessons learned from early challenges and a year of preparation behind the scenes, she enters 2026 more focused, more prepared, and more motivated than ever.
As the green flag drops on the 2026 yourBIGplans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour season, Olivia Shelbo will be one of the new faces to watch.
“We are heading into this year with the goal to finish races and have fun,” Shelbo said. “I didn’t get an opportunity to do that in 2024. By being able to finish races, we will be able to learn the car and make positive adjustments.” Her journey from adversity to opportunity makes her Rookie of the Year campaign one of the most compelling storylines of the season, as she looks to turn hard-earned experience into success on the track.

By Ray Cunningham
Belleville, KS: The 2026 High Banks Hall of Fame induction class includes racers from many different forms of dirt track and pavement racing disciplines.

Don Droud Sr: The patriarch of the Droud racing clan out of Nebraska that includes sons Don Jr. and Rodney, raced for over sixty years in motorcycles, car racing, and vintage racing meets.

Ray Boyles: Missouri’s Ray Boyles has been involved in racing since the 1940’s helping first his uncle Junior Hower, before later venturing out as an owner with his wife Sandy in micro, mini sprint and midget competition.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Doney-Lawson Racing’s Xavier Doney just short of a
Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic A-Main
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 26, 2026
ODESSA, Mo. (January 26, 2026) – Odessa, Missouri’s Xavier Doney, a regular fixture for Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis house cars, did everything he could to qualify for the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Premier Speedway in Victoria, Australia, but in the end, he was just short, concluding his visit with a sixth-place performance in the finale B-Main.
Doney, who powered the Keens Race Team No. 16 in his quick trip to Premier, made his return to Australia following his Chili Bowl Nationals attempt in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he finished eighth in the second of two H-Mains. Although it was Doney’s first-ever visit to Premier, Doney is no stranger to the southern hemisphere, entering the High Limit International program at Perth Motorplex just after Christmas – he finished 15th from the inside of row 12.
The 2026 season will be bigger than ever for Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, set to chase a 60-race schedule across nearly a dozen states, complete with High Limit Racing, World of Outlaws, and POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League competition. Just as seasons prior, Xavier Doney, as well as younger sister Natalie Doney, will each participate in the ambitious schedule, and although not all of their dates are locked and sealed, the team will likely begin competition in late February at RPM Speedway in Candall, Texas.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Doney-Lawson Racing would like to thank all of their marketing partners
including:Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven,
Stanton Racing Engines, Wilwood, Keizer Wheels, AL Driveline, and DMI.
DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall fastest overall in Grand
Annual Sprintcar Classic, to conclude Australia visit with five starts at
Perth
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 26, 2026
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (January 26, 2026) – Although it was contact that kept Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall out of the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic main event, occurring in the evening’s B-Main while battling his way through the field for a transfer position, the experience gained was second-to-none, highlighting Premier Speedway’s three-day program with the event’s overall fastest qualifying time.
As expressed, Whittall, ace of the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21W, was full steam ahead in the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic B-Main, cruising his way from 17th to eighth before the aforementioned contact occurred.

NEW LOOK, BIG PLANS: Brock Zearfoss sets aim on 110 events in 2026
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 23, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (January 23, 2026) – Activating with a three-day ASCS National Tour slate at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, the “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing have big plans for 2026, set to take on a schedule comprised of 110 events across much of the United States all while “hitting and missing” many of nation’s biggest programs.
Zearfoss, a former Port Royal Speedway Track Champion and World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series full-timer, will center his focus on a “True Outlaw” campaign, launching with the aforementioned events in Florida and ending with a visit to BAPS Motor Speedway in mid-November. Major events circled on Zearfoss’ agenda include Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial, Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal Week, Knoxville Raceway’s coveted Knoxville Nationals, Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open, and the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.
With Zearfoss’ big schedule comes a new look, all of which is made possible by dedicated support by entities such as Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment – Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, OMP, Shilling Excavating, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness.
“It’s going to be an exciting year. Running a ‘true outlaw’ schedule gives us the opportunity to race where it makes the most sense, all while maintaining our operation out of our own shop,” Zearfoss said. “A big schedule like this takes a lot of prep and planning, and we wouldn’t be in this position without all of our dedicated partners. Many have been with us for a long time and we’re proud to be associated with all of them. They’re like family and we’re excited to share another season with them.”
Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing will roll into 2026 fresh off of a two-win season, one of which being Port Royal Speedway’s annual Labor Day Classic – accomplished in Rich Eichelberger’s No. 8.

Landon Brooks Caps 2026 Chili Bowl Off In ‘B’ Main
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals with Matt Wood Racing, Landon Brooks had another strong showing that saw him cap the prestigious event off in the Saturday night ‘B’ Main.
“It was another really fun Chili Bowl with the Matt Wood Racing team,” Landon Brooks said. “I love all of the people that we get to spend the week with, and other than locking in Saturday’s feature event it was a great week.”
Getting his first taste of the Tulsa Expo Raceway on Monday during the Race of Champions, Brooks was set for his qualifying attempt on Tuesday night aboard the Lipper Construction/Hamilton Racing/THE backed No. 57W.
Drawing the outside third row starting position in his heat race, the Rio Oso, CA driver got off to a great start as he worked his way forward to a third-place finish.
Making himself eligible for a spot in a nightly qualifier, Brooks rolled off the starting grid from the third position looking for more points to ultimately improve his feature event starting position.
Jumping into second when the race went green, nightly points are so tight each night, Brooks would have earned the front row for the feature event had he been able to pick up one more spot and win the qualifier, but settling for a runner up finish he found himself 11th for the Tuesday night feature event.
From the outside of the sixth row, Brooks went to work on the tight confines of the Tulsa Expo Raceway. Working his way forward, Brooks was able to pick up track position lap by lap as he inched closer to a Saturday night lock in spot.
Racing his way up to fifth when the checkered flag dropped, Brooks wasn’t quite able to lock into Saturday’s big dance, but was in a great position to battle for a transfer berth as he was locked into one of the twin ‘B’ Mains.
Watching how the rest of the week unfolded, Brooks was back in action on Saturday night with the ‘A’ Main on his mind.
Taking the green flag for the ‘B’, Brooks settled into eighth as he kept his eye on of the seven golden tickets into the feature event. Getting into seventh on the 11th lap, Brooks was back to ninth a lap later amidst a hotly contested battle for the final transfer position.
Doing all he could as he searched around the Expo Raceway; Brooks capped his weekend off with a ninth place finish.
“I just needed some things to go better on my qualifying night to set myself up better on Saturday, but still I was really happy with how the car felt and how the MWR team performed,” Brooks added. “I really want to thank everyone that helped all week long, and makes the MWR team what it is. I am really thankful to have such great people around me.”
Landon Brooks would like to thank Lippert Construction, Hamilton Racing, Matt Wood Racing, Keizer Wheels, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, and Shane Golobic Composites for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 2, Wins: 0, Top 5’s: 1, Top 10’s: 1
ON TAP: Landon Brooks is now idle until February 28th when he kicks the 2026 season off with Hamilton Racing at Merced Speedway.
STAY CONNECTED: Stay up to speed with Landon Brooks and team by following @LCBrooks60 on Twitter/X, 60LandonBrooks on Instagram, HamiltonRacing21L on Instagram, HamiltonRacingg on Twitter/X or by becoming a fan of Hamilton Racing on Facebook.
"KENNY'S CASH"- A NEW PROGRAM IN MEMORY OF KENNY KENT TO POTENTIALLY AWARD OVER $5,000 TO HOVIS RUSH SPRINT CAR RACERS IN 2026
By Mike Leone
January 21, 2026 -
(Pulaski, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Sprint
Car Series is excited to announce a new program for the upcoming 2026 season
that will potentially distribute over $5,000 to the Series' race teams. The
"Kenny's Cash" program will award $100 to a lucky driver at each 2026 RUSH
Sprint Car event. Then at the season ending event, a $1,000 drawing will be
held for drivers that compete in 75% or more of the completed events. The
program is being put on by Arnie Kent in memory of his father, Kenny, who
passed away on October 27, 2025.
Veteran racer, Arnie Kent, has been a longtime proponent and
supporter of the RUSH Sprint Cars. Kent was one of the two drivers to test a
RUSH Sprint Car in late 2017. Kent, a four-time RUSH Sprint Car winner, is
the only driver to compete all eight years in the class running 126 of the
178 events contested all time. Kent has also finished in the top six in
points six of the eight years. His father Kenny was alongside him in the pit
area for his entire racing career. Also, Kent's Equipment Rental Options was
the Weekly Series presenting sponsor from 2020-2022 before the business was
sold.
"Kenny's Cash" will start with finishing position one at the
first event of 2026 and will rotate one finishing position at each
successive completed event through position 18 then will restart at position
one for the 19th event and so on. In the event there are not enough cars for
the $100 bonus position, the bonus will go to the driver finishing last.
Bonus monies will accumulate and be distributed on a monthly basis.
"We were honored when Arnie came to us wanting to give back
to his fellow competitors in memory of his father Kenny who we all knew very
well," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "This program will spread out money
to all the racers throughout the year then award a lucky, deserving driver a
$1,000 bonus that thoroughly supported the Series. We have a similar program
with our RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour where Landrum
Performance Springs awards a $5,000 bonus on the final night to a driver
that competes in at least 75% of the completed events. This popular program
will be beginning its third year in 2026, and we're excited to bring this
new 'Kenny's Cash' program to our RUSH Sprint Car racers."
The RUSH Sprint Car Series is set to embark on what will be
its most impressive season to date in what will be its ninth year in Series
history. Well over 40 events are scheduled and the Series will be showcased
in conjunction with some of the region's premier "410" Sprint Car events
including a two-night wingless sprint car extravaganza with the USAC
National Sprint Cars at Lernerville Speedway, with the World of Outlaws
Sprint Cars at Sharon Speedway, the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint
Cars at both Stateline Speedway and Michaels Mercer Raceway Park as well as
the FAST on Dirt Sprints at Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway and Tri-City
Raceway Park. Many of these events will be streamed live on DIRTVision,
FloRacing, The Cushion, and Dirt.tv.

Eastern Motorsport Press Association
(Wilkes-Barre, PA) Fifty-three looks good on the Eastern Motorsport Press Association (EMPA), as the professional organization wrapped up another successful convention. For the 53rd time, EMPA members, award winners and guests met to honor excellence in motorsports. This year’s convention took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Friday night EMPA honored champions from the recently completed racing season. Eight drivers, along with a ninth who announced an advancement in her career, recapped their seasons and spoke of things to come in 2026. EMPA thanks Steve Shultz, Aiden Grover, Tyler Truex, Ken Duke, Jr., Trevor Gach, Zach Sobotka, Austin Beers and Sarabeth Mesko for their participation on Friday evening that kicked off the convention.
Saturday morning traditionally divides members into two rooms. Photographers view their contest to hear comments about their entries from independent judges, while writers and broadcasters attend workshops relevant to their work. Len Sammons from Area Auto Racing News and the Scranton Times-Tribune’s Scott Walsh facilitated the opening session dealing with sending copy to news outlets. Walsh and Karl Fredrickson, EMPA’s Vice President and Publisher of Speedway Illustrated Magazine, then spoke about ethics in the media. Much of their discussion related to the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists: seek the truth and report it, be independent, minimize harm, and be accountable. EMPA board member and owner of DirtTrackDigest.com Mike Mallett, and BAPS Speedway’s Promoter Kolten Gouse then spoke about what promoters expect from the media. Both groups need each other for the health and continuance of the sport.
Scott Woodruff and Doug Foley, representatives of the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) explained the recent explosion of activity in the sanctioning body by new owner Darryl Cuttell. He purchased IHRA and several tracks as an investment in the sport for the future, and to provide a safe place for families. Their new Stock Car Series is geared to local racers, keeping costs down for them, and providing payouts more rewarding of their work.
Rex Merritt, recipient of this year’s EMPA/Junie Dunlavey Memorial Spirit of the Sport Award, provided some inspirational messages that guided his remarkable contributions as a driver and innovator in the mid-west.
Dave “The Godfather” Moody, longtime announcer/protégé of the late Ken Squier lead turn announcer for the Motor Racing Network and host of XM Speedway on Sirius Radio (channel 90), engaged the audience with a blend of the serious work of an announcer along with some lighter moments he’s experienced. He also drove home the importance of being right rather than being first in sharing news, regardless of the format.
In the afternoon Moody, Mike Warren from the Super DIRTcar Series, and veteran announcer Barry Angstadt participated in EMPA’s first-ever announcer roundtable. Moderated by EMPA’s Secretary and longtime announcer Carol Houssock, the panelists addressed many aspects of the job. These included preparation, delivery, equipment failures, working solo or with a partner, and overall advice to those new to the microphone, among other topics.
The evening Hall of Fame and Awards banquet highlighted the day for attendees. EMPA’s Hall of Fame now includes six new names. Frank Cozzen, Jan Leaty and the family of the late Rick Ferkel were on hand to accept those honors. Kenny Bernstein, Paul Page and Steve Smith, Jr. could not attend but sent messages of thanks. Racers Austin Beers and Alex Payne
accepted awards for excellence in the 2025 season, while Kyle Larson and Anthony Macri were unable to attend.
EMPA members were also recognized for their professional work in motorsports. Several members won cash prizes for creativity either behind a keyboard or a camera. The organization is indebted to Pocono Raceway and Bill Brice for sponsoring the writers and photographers contest for professional members.
Halmar/Friesen Racing won the Chris Economaki Memorial Newsmaker award, Rex Merritt won the Junie Donlavey Memorial Spirit of the Sport award, and BAPS Speedway Promoter Kolten Gouse picked up a pair of awards: the EMPA Promotional Effort of the Year and the Jerry Riegle Contribution to Sprint Car Racing award presented by World Racing Group. Finally, by membership vote, Ken Bruce is the Jim Hunter Memorial Writer of the Year and Walt Smith is the Ace Lane, Sr. Memorial Photographer of the Year. Winners of the latter two awards are revealed at the event, and both winners were overcome with emotion and thanked the organization and its members for the recognition.
All of the organization’s award winners are listed below.
“We had an amazing convention, and I can’t say enough about how great the whole weekend went. I wish to thank everyone who had a hand in making our 53rd annual EMPA Convention one of the best yet, from our sponsors, guest speakers, especially Dave Moody and Rex Merritt, and to each and every member and guest who attended,” said EMPA president Dino Oberto.
Based on the number of attendees at the seminars, the banquet, and from feedback over the weekend, those who were there for any part of it said the convention met or exceeded their expectations.
Work on the 54th convention commenced on Sunday morning, with members offering suggestions and comments to make what was great even better next year. Information on EMPA is available on www.empamedia.com.
“Congratulations to all the deserving award winners and Hall of Fame inductees. I am very proud of what this organization stands for and represents in motorsports media.”

Xavier Doney enjoys Chili Bowl experience, reverts
attention back to 2026 season
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 19, 2026
ODESSA, Mo. (January 19, 2026) – It’s one of the most competitive short track events in all of motorsports, and Odessa, Missouri’s Xavier Doney was in on the action. And although the 20-year-old was shy of qualifying for Saturday’s Chili Bowl Nationals 55-lap A-Main, the experience gained was unmatchable, already working to compete in the 2027 edition next January.
Doney, who was a Chili Bowl Nationals teammate to three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion Sammy Swindell, concluded his Chili Bowl Nationals effort in Saturday’s second H-Main, finishing eighth after starting 10th on the grid. With double features all the way back to the letter Q, the H-Main feat was impressive, earning his way there via B-Main start in Thursday’s preliminary.
Swindell, a former Chili Bowl Nationals champion, concluded his Chili Bowl effort in the second O-Main, racing his way through the evening’s second Q and P feature.
With the Chili Bowl Nationals complete, the 2026 season is in full view. Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will roll into 2026 fresh off of a competitive, yet successful 2025 season padded by a podium outcome in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League driver standings. In fact, Xavier Doney, the ace who achieved the aforementioned statistic, won twice in his POWRi schedule, ending his campaign with 19 top-ten finishes in 24 A-Main starts.
Doney-Lawson Racing’s official schedule will be released in the coming weeks.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Doney-Lawson Racing would like to thank all of their marketing partners
including:Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven,
Stanton Racing Engines, Wilwood, Keizer Wheels, AL Driveline, and DMI.

CRSA RELEASES TENTATIVE 2026 SCHEDULE
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – January 16, 2026
When May begins, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints are set to roll.
Mike Emhof Motorsports and CRSA have released their tentative 2026 schedule, with a record 26 dates scheduled across the Northeast. The series will visit 13 tracks across three states, including two new tracks for the CRSA family.
All four miniseries (DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge, I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series and Dandy Mini Series) are returning for the 21st season.
Tyler Siri’s Outlaw Speedway will continue to be a staple on the season with at least three events, as one of the richest tracks of the 2026 calendar. Like last year, it will kick off the season, this time a couple of weeks later, May 8 and conclude the season Oct. 16-17 for the Hoag Memorial $4000-to-win event. The series will also contest races July 31 in a $2,011-to-win show alongside the Empire Super Sprints. All races at Outlaw, except the Hoag Memorial, will be part of the Dandy Mini Series. Last year saw Jeff Trombley become the all-time winner in CRSA history, with Dandy Mini Series champion Jordan Hutton and Southern Tier Series champion Dillon Paddock also winning.
Paul Cole’s Land of Legends Raceway will lead in series races with four on the CRSA calendar, set for May 9, June 6, July 2 and Sept. 18 on Gerald Haers Memorial Weekend. All races are part of the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge, in which CRSA continues to battle against the 305 Sprint track regulars. Trombley, track champion Bobby Parrow and defending series champion plus Rookie of the Year Zach Sobotka won last year at the track where legends are made. Land of Legends continues to be the only CRSA-sanctioned weekly 305 Sprint track where some of CRSA’s and the best 305 drivers in the region can be seen.
Al Heinke and Jimmy Phelps’ Weedsport Speedway will return to one date in 2026, set for its traditional Memorial Day weekend date, May 24, a weekend that continues to break the
record for CRSA car counts. This will kick off the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Parrow and Paddock each scored A-Main victories last season
The following weekend, after rained out last year, Brett Deyo’s Fonda Speedway returns and is set for May 30, also an I-90 race.
The series kicks off June at Parm Atwal and Tana Robinson’s Ransomville Speedway, which returns after a pair of successful CRSA shows, with its lone race set for June 5, adding on to the DisBatch Challenge. Paddock was able to sweep both races at “The Big R” last season.
The first new track on the CRSA calendar is Doug Rose’s Bridgeport Motorsports Park. The Kingdom of Speed in New Jersey will host a pair of doubleheaders June 12-13 and Labor Day Weekend Sept. 4-5 as part of the 305 Sprint Car Nationals. These weekends will be non-point challenges in conjunction with the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series.
Jason Broedel’s Utica-Rome Speedway is set for an expansion to the CRSA schedule, as “The Home of Heroes” will host three CRSA races in 2026, June 14, July 24 and Aug. 14, all I-90 Pit Stop races. Sobotka scored his first victory in Vernon last season.
John and Laura Wight’s Fulton Speedway returns June 20 after a successful inaugural trip to the high banks last season, also a part of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Sobotka took the checkers last year on a late race restart over Parrow.
After losing both races to weather last year, Penn Can Speedway, now under Nathan Aldrich, will return to the schedule July 17 and Sept. 12 as part of King of the Can weekend. They will kick off the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.
Terry and Nikki Brewer’s Woodhull Raceway will host a race July 25 as part of the Dandy Mini Series. Paddock, Sobotka, Spencer Burley, Scott Landers and Billy VanInwegen all took wins there last year.
The second new track of the schedule will be a visit to Tyler Bartlett’s Can-Am Speedway Aug. 7. The half mile track in La Fargeville hosts a weekly division for crate sprint cars Friday nights. This event will be a 305/Crate Challenge event.
Karl and Sara Spoonhower’s Thunder Mountain Speedway will host a pair of races, Aug. 15 and Sept. 6 as a part of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series. Last season, the Smith brothers, Johnny and Mikey, each scored their first career CRSA victory in the two races in Center Lisle. There are talks of a third date in the works.
Finally, after not running last year, The Dirt Track at Genesee, now under James and Nicole Gayton, will welcome back CRSA and conclude the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge Sept. 19.
Traditional festivities will begin and end 2026 March 14-15 with the Motorsports Expo at the New York State Fairgrounds and Dec. 5 with the Awards Banquet at Vernon Downs.

American Racer Named Official Tire of Great Lakes Super Sprints
Merrill, MI - Officials with the Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) have announced American Racer as the official tire provider for the 2026 season, concluding a 10-year relationship with Hoosier Racing Tire.
The decision follows ongoing concerns from GLSS teams over the last few years. Series officials determined that introducing additional competition into the tire market was necessary to help control costs and provide racers with a more sustainable long-term option.
Beginning in 2026, GLSS competition will require American Racer tires on the rear of the car. The approved tires are the American Racer SD38 in 28.5, 29, or 30 for the left rear, and the American Racer MC3 on the right rear. Teams may run any brand of tire on the front axle.
To assist teams with the transition, GLSS will implement a
burn-off period. Hoosier Medium right rear tires will be permitted for the
first four races, while remaining Hoosier left rear tires will be allowed
for the first eight races.
GLSS Owner and Promoter Barry Marlow said the timing was right to make the
change.
“American Racer sprint car tire availability is excellent, the quality has been consistent, and the pricing will save our drivers money each race,” Marlow said. “Our Hoosier representatives have been great to work with over the years, and this decision is no reflection on their service. ”
GLSS will continue to use the 2025 tire rule for its co-sanctioned events with USCS at I-75 Raceway on April 10–11, allowing Hoosier Medium right rear tires and Hoosier left rears. Tire rules for the June 26 event at Ohsweken Speedway and the June 27 event at Buxton Speedway are currently being finalized in coordination with Ohsweken and Southern Ontario Sprints officials.
With this change, the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints (GLTS) and Great Lakes Lightning Sprints (GLLS) divisions will operate under an open tire rule, allowing teams to compete on American Racer or any other tire brand of their choice.
Great Lakes Sprints will serve as the local distributor for American Racer sprint car tires. Inventory is planned to be warehoused in Lima, Ohio; Elkhart, Indiana; Quincy, Michigan; and Midland, Michigan. Tire deliveries can be coordinated through Specialty Fuels & Logistics alongside existing methanol deliveries.
The full 2026 Great Lakes Super Sprints rule book is expected to be released in the coming weeks. Schedules for the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints and Great Lakes Lightning Sprints will also be announced soon. For more information, visit GreatLakesSprints.com.
Brody Roa Returns to the Chili Bowl Nationals for the First Time Since 2022
Cypress, CA – January 13, 2026 — For the first time since
2022, Brody Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Champion and 2019 USAC
Southwest Series titleholder, will return to the prestigious Chili Bowl
Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As he has in previous appearances, Roa
will drive for Texas-based car owner Kevin Ramey. He is scheduled to compete
in his preliminary night on Friday, January 16, with the all-important
finals taking place 24 hours later.
Roa and his wife, Tailor, flew to Oklahoma on Wednesday morning in preparation for the event. For the talented Garden Grove, California, racer, this year marks his sixth career appearance at what has grown into the largest and most competitive midget race in the world. Roa will be one of 406 drivers all chasing the iconic prize — the coveted Golden Driller Trophy.
Work obligations prevented Roa from arriving earlier in the week, forcing him to miss Sunday’s pre-race practice. In his absence, Ramey’s 22-year-old son Dylan shook down the car and helped get the #7N dialed in ahead of Roa’s arrival.
“It has been a few years,” Roa chuckled about returning to the Chili Bowl. “Kevin Ramey called and asked if I wanted to go racing. He put another car together. He has six cars running, and I am one of his fleet.
A past USAC Southwest Series champion, Roa understands that success at the Chili Bowl often hinges on a strong preliminary night. A solid performance can position a driver well for Saturday’s alphabet soup of mains, while a tough night can mean starting deep in the program early Saturday morning.
“With that many cars on hand, it is always important to go forward every time you are on the track,” Roa said. “The heat race is important to keep your nose clean, pass cars, and have a decent race to get yourself in a qualifier. That is the name of the game on the prelim. night. If you get yourself in a C Main, that is a lot of cars to pass on a prelim night. I think it was the last time I was there driving for Ramey; we had a terrible heat race. We had to go from the C, to the B, and to the A that night.”
“I think my worst year was the D main on Saturday,” Roa recalled. “When I first went there, I said, ‘If I still have my suit on when they went to live TV, I am good.’ (MAVTV would go live about the D main time).”
Looking ahead to Saturday, Roa is aiming to maximize the opportunity in what he believes is the best equipment he has had at the event.
“I would like to get as far as I can on Saturday,” Roa enthused. “Have a good prelim night. I would like to run top 10 on our prelim night. That is doable for us. Put us in a B or C on Saturday and see what we can do there. The A would be ideal on Saturday.”
Roa feels confident heading into the week, believing this year’s entry gives him his strongest chance yet at the Tulsa indoor classic. He will pilot a Spike chassis powered by an Ed Pink Ford engine.
“This is the best midget program Ramey has had since I began driving for him. I think this is the seventh different engine I have run in a midget,” Roa laughed. “And I am pretty sure I have only ran about 10 different midget races. I have been through a bunch of engine packages.”
Preparation for the race has gone beyond equipment, as Roa has also focused on his physical conditioning.
“I have lost about 20 pounds since I got the call from Ramey,” Roa enthused. “Just to try and be my best version of a midget driver.”
Fans can hear more from Roa in a recent interview on Racer
Radio Show with Dave Stall, where he discussed his return to the Chili Bowl:
http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/radio26/RACERRADIO260104.mp3
(Roa’s segment begins around the 25-minute mark).
For fans unable to attend in person, every night of the Chili Bowl will be streamed live on FloRacing.
Roa would like to thank Kevin Ramey and his entire crew for the opportunity to compete in the Chili Bowl, along with the marketing partners supporting the effort: Precise Racing Products, Smiley's Racing Products, American Fire Extinguisher, Jambo Barbeque Pits, Kiwi Landscaping, HWY 360 Pawn, Bluemax Pay, The BLRH Group, Mow Time, Graham’s Wrecking Service, Ten Hagen Excavating, and Big Dog Printing.
Perris Auto Speedway Brings Back Student Tickets and Lowers Some Other Prices
Perris, California — January 12, 2026 — Perris Auto Speedway
promoter Don Kazarian has announced the return of student ticket pricing
along with reductions to some other ticket categories, making race nights
more affordable for fans and families in 2026. Fans will see the new pricing
take effect at the 30th Anniversary Season opener featuring the Avanti
Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars on February
14, followed by the first Night of Destruction of the season on February 21.
Beginning with the February 14 season opener, teens ages 13–17 with ID will be admitted for just $15.00. In addition, adult sprint car ticket prices have been reduced from $35.00 to $30.00, while senior tickets (65 and over) have also been lowered by $5.00, and are now priced at $25.00.
The $15.00 teen ticket will also be available for Night of Destruction events, allowing teens to attend for $10.00 less than in 2025. The only exception is the gate price of $20.00 for the June 27 Fireworks Spectacular and Night of Destruction. However, advance teen tickets for that night can still be purchased for $15.00 through tix.com.
“In a world where everything seems unaffordable, we are lowering some ticket prices,” Kazarian confirmed. “We are bringing the teen ticket pricing back and holding steady on other tickets in an effort to make it affordable to enjoy a family night at The PAS in 2026.”
“On a sprint car night, the teen ticket is a huge savings,” Kazarian continued. “It is a $20.00 savings on those tickets from last year’s price. And it will be a $10.00 savings on Night of Destruction. I looked at other racetracks in Northern California, Central California, and Arizona. Most tracks in our marketplace have a teen price and we are bringing them back.”
Fans are encouraged to scroll down for ticket prices for all Oval Entertainment shows at The PAS in 2026.
Kazarian is also energized by what lies ahead on the track—not just the new pricing structure.
“I am really looking forward to this season,” the longtime promoter enthused. “I think we are going to have a banner year. With Cory (Cory Kruuseman) taking over USAC, I think there is going to be some changes there. We may see some new teams there. In the stock car program, we have made some rule changes in the Super Stocks that I think are going to help. The Night of Destruction is its own animal, and I see nothing but bigger and better things for that. Overall, I am very optimistic for this year.”
“I think the fans are going to see the fun come back at the speedway this year. We are going to get back into the interaction with the fans, and we are going to be doing a lot of giveaways.”

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Zearfoss highlights USA vs Western Australia Speedweek
finale weekend with top-ten on Friday
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 12, 2026
JONESTOWN, Pa. (January 12, 2026) – Despite it being the Jonestown Jet’s final weekend Down Under, Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport did their best to go out on top, rejoining the world’s finest in Perth Motorplex’s two-day USA vs Western Australia Speedweek finale on Friday and Saturday, January 9-10.
In all, it was a stat-filled weekend for the former Port Royal Speedway Track Champion and Outlaw full-timer, opening action with a top-ten achievement on Friday, January 9. Zearfoss finished sixth, officially, upping his Australia top-ten count to four on the year.
Unfortunately, a top-ten repeat was cut short on Saturday, as a nozzle line broke loose while running in the fourth position.
“I can’t thank everyone at S&D Motorsport enough. It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to come to Australia and race, and they’ve gone above and beyond,” Brock Zearfoss said. “We had our ups and downs this trip and some bad luck mixed in between, but it’s a privilege to be here and I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity.”

January 12, 2026
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (January 12, 2026) – Justin Whittall and RBH Racing did their best to battle the best in Perth Motorplex’s two-day USA vs Western Australia Speedweek finale on Friday and Saturday, January 9-10, but unfortunately, it was tough luck that prevailed, keeping the New Jersey native short of all potential.
Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, was forced to retire Friday due to mechanical woes, all before accidental contact ended his feature run on Saturday. With a full slate at Tolmer Speedway and Premier Speedway on deck, Whittall and RBH Racing will do their best to reset and refocus.
“Just one of those weekends…our time will come,” Whittall, ace of the RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21, said. “We had a lot of speed all weekend and I’m grateful for the opportunity. We’ll reset this week and be ready for Tolmer on Friday.”

KRIKKE MOTORSPORT DEFENDS SPEEDWEEK TITLE
Running eight race meetings against world class 410 Sprintcar competition over the past fortnight has been no easy feat, but that was what made the Krikke Motorsport team’s USA VS WA Speedweek Series title defence with Dayne Kingshott even more rewarding.
During the eight rounds of Speedweek between the Perth Motorplex and Bunbury Speedway tracks, the WA # 2 Mobil 1 / Bunbury Toyota supported Maxim driver never finished outside the top seven with an average finishing position of fourth and it saw him and the Krikke Motorsport team score a successful USA VS WA Speedweek Series defence and the $10,000 top prize that came with it.
When it came to this season’s USA VS WA Speedweek Series highlights, it was hard to go past Kingshott’s outstanding run of podium finishes over the three nights of the High Limit International, which saw him come very close to winning the $110,000 cheque on the final night but in the end had to settle for second behind American star Kyle Larson, and another highlight came in the form of a seventh and penultimate Speedweek round victory at the Perth Motorplex.
“It’s a big achievement for the whole Krikke Motorsport team to make it back-to-back Speedweek titles, as we have all worked so hard up against world-class competition night after night, so to come out on top after the eight rounds is very satisfying for everyone,” commented Kingshott.
“After being so close to taking out the High Limit International during Speedweek, I was determined to try and get a win in the remaining rounds, which I managed to do at Perth on the second last night, and it was great to be able to do that on my way to sealing the Speedweek title for another season.”
In what has been an intense fortnight of world-class 410 Sprintcar racing, Krikke Motorsport team manager Ryan Krikke was mighty proud of his team’s efforts.
“It’s great to defend the Speedweek title and a pleasing reward for the whole team for their endless efforts,” he praised.
“The past fortnight has been massive for everyone in the team and it’s a mega effort to win Speedweek against the calibre of teams over the past eight nights. The series has a lot of history and has always been against high class USA drivers, so it’s always been tough to win. To win the one Speedweek round was cool, but then to go on and win the series is something to be proud of.
“The team will now have this weekend off, before we hit the road to compete over on the east coast at the Kings Challenge, Grand Annual Classic and the Australian Championship, and hopefully we can continue our great season so far over there.”

Liguori & Henes Lead Honorees During Must See Racing Night Of Champions
GRAND BLANC, Mich. (Jan. 11, 2026) – In its now-traditional gala fashion, Must See Racing recognized its top drivers and teams from the 2025 season during the sanctioning body’s Night of Champions celebration Saturday night at the Fairfield Inn & Suites of Grand Blanc.
The entire evening was streamed live to a worldwide audience for the first time thanks to Racing America, the official live broadcast partner of Must See Racing.
Chief among the banquet’s honored guests were Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series champion Joe Liguori and Must See Racing Midwest Lights crate sprint car titlist J.J. Henes, both of whom were recognized for their third series crowns.
Though he didn’t reach victory lane in 2025, Liguori’s consistency was unmatched, as he raced to a 119-point advantage in the final standings and clinched the title with a race to spare prior to the finale at Montgomery (Ala.) Motor Speedway in October.
“Usually I’m a lot better at this [speaking] because I’m fired up, but nothing bad has happened yet!” quipped Liguori in the opening to his title acceptance speech. “Us Italians, we have attitudes.
“We’re a small team and it’s hard to do what we do sometimes, but we just kept pushing along all year last year,” Liguori added. “We wanted to get back to the winner’s circle – that’s the one box we didn’t check in 2025 – but getting the big trophy isn’t a bad way to end the year either. Things will look a little different this coming season, driving for PCS [Racing] instead of in the family car, but we aren’t going anywhere … you’ll have to deal with this guy all the same.
“Must See Racing has an outstanding platform and it’s an honor to stand on it and represent the series as a champion again. We’ve got three of these things now, so the chase is on to try and catch [five-time series titlist Jimmy] McCune at the top.”
Henes continued his reign at the pinnacle of the Midwest Lights crate sprint car division, making it back-to-back titles and a trio overall in a bittersweet celebration for that field of competitors.
The 2025 season marked the final year of competition for the Midwest Lights as part of Must See Racing, which will transition its focus solely to the 410ci sprint cars of its national tour for 2026.
It’s a change that Henes noted in his championship acceptance speech as he nodded to the appreciation he’s had for being able to race on the Must See Racing platform since his inaugural title-winning season in 2020.
“Without Jim and Nancy putting in so much effort to even have the series, we wouldn’t have been able to do any of the cool things we’ve done in the past six years,” pointed out Henes, who ends the Midwest Lights’ tenure as its winningest driver, best qualifier, and most-decorated champion.
“To be at every race since the beginning, to win the first championship and now the last one, it’s been a lot of fun with a lot of good competition and a lot of people that you can really have fun racing right next to and knowing that they’re going to take care of you on the racetrack,” he added. “Just a pleasure to be here and represent this division … and excited about what’s next for our family and our team.”
Henes will turn his primary focus toward dirt sprint car racing and asphalt supermodified action in 2026.
Among the other Must See Racing national honorees Saturday was Theresa Statham, the leader of the Statham Construction No. 36 squadron, who received Car Owner of the Year honors for the first time.
Though she and husband Ken were unable to attend Saturday’s banquet in person, Statham issued a statement that was read during the live banquet broadcast, giving her deep appreciation to MSR founders Jim and Nancy Hanks for giving the Florida-based team a “first-class” arena to race in.
“We’re extremely grateful for this incredible honor and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who voted to recognize us,” Statham wrote. “We’re truly touched and appreciate all that Must See Racing does in the sprint car community.”
Four-time season winner Bobby Santos III was named Driver of the Year for the first time after posting an average finish of 1.2 across his five series starts in 2025.
“This whole bunch [with MSR] is awesome wherever we show up to compete,” said Santos. “Appreciate the mutual respect from everyone involved and it’s a lot of fun to run with the competition that we get to over here. We really enjoy it – not just winning, but having to work hard to keep improving.”
Ken Mingus brought Crew Chief of the Year honors to the family-owned Mingus Racing team in an emotional reveal led by his son and driver, Kevin Mingus, who finished top three in the point standings for a second year in a row after a fierce battle with Canadian Aaron Willison down the stretch.
Though he couldn’t make the trip from New England to Michigan, Alby Ovitt was named Rookie of the Year for the national Must See Racing series as the division’s top first-year competitor.
Additional Midwest Lights award recipients included Brandon Lemmerman (Rookie of the Year) and Justin Weese (Crew Chief of the Year), while Jon Henes was named Car Owner of the Year once again.
J.J. Henes and Charlie Baur were honored as co-Drivers of the Year on the Midwest Lights side of the aisle, something Baur – who received the award for the first time – wasn’t expecting.
“I think the hardest thing for me, at least, is that this [Midwest Lights] chapter has to come to an end right after we really clicked on so many things throughout the year that put our pavement program where we’ve wanted it to get to,” said Baur. “I can’t thank Jim and Nancy enough, though, for giving us somewhere to race that has given us such great competition and so many good memories that we’ll always cherish as a family and a team.
“We might be switching primarily to dirt [sprint car] racing for 2026, but we’re keeping our pavement options open … and who knows, you guys might not be done seeing us yet!”
A complete replay of the 2025 Must See Racing banquet can be viewed on RacingAmerica.TV.
With the 2025 season officially in the books, Must See Racing will kick off its 2026 points campaign for the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series at South Carolina’s Anderson Motor Speedway on Friday, May 8.

MICHAELS MERCER RACEWAY PARK CELEBRATES 75TH ANNIVERSARY
22 EVENT SEASON IN 2026.
By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)
Michaels Mercer Raceway Park under the first year ownership
of Earl and Michelle Michaels will celebrate it’s historic 75th anniversary
season with a jampacked 22 event event season which encompasses all types of
motorsports from January through October.
In late 2025 Earl and Michelle Michaels purchased the
facility from his brother Ed and at the end of the season already began to
make improvements and will continue to do so throughout the winter. The main
focus will be on more auto racing events as there are no less than 18 nights
of auto racing for the local drivers and fans to attend. There will also be
many county discount nights as well as more functions for the younger
generation of race fans including bike races, autograph nights, and kids
club events.
The bread and butter of Mercer will continue to be the
regular weekly three division show of the racesaver 305 sprints, the DIRT
602 crate sportsman, and the mini stocks, which will appear on every regular
Saturday night event along with certain divisions for specials. The 305
sprint cars are expected to have larger numbers this year. The 602 DIRT
sportsman with no other track racing them weekly on Saturday nights now
should have a heavily contested full field of modifieds each week with an
already highly competitive field with last year just one repeat winner in 11
races. The RUSH sanctioned modifieds are able to compete with minor
modifications. The mini stocks should also have an increased car count being
sanctioned by the SCDRA with most of the tracks locally now following these
sanctioned rules.
The methanol fueled 410 winged sprint cars will make seven
appearances, including two by the All-Star sprint cars and also will be
kickoff the annual western PA sprint speedweek on the Wednesday night show.
The big block modifieds will be showcased in two big shows..
one being the annual Michaels memorial and also the Rick and Bob Ryder
memorial. Both will be extra high paying events.
After a very successful exciting show last year, the RUSH
non-wing sprint cars will make at least nine appearances on the tricky oval
which will all count for RUSH weekly points. There are no less than 25 cars
that competed in the series in 2025 and with Mercer being known as a
non-sprint car track for many decades it should prove to be exciting as the
traditional sprint car returns to Mercer.
The super late models will return again for the traditional
opening night chiller thriller scheduled for the last Saturday in March with
more shows possible throughout the year.
The micro sprints will make a return to Mercer, as well as
appearances by the crown Vics and the mod lites.
The annual little guy nationals will return in its usual
complete show format for both days featuring seven classes or more each
night.
The 75TH anniversary season will kickoff on January 24 with
the return of the Jack Frost Enduro, along with a demo derby weather
permitting, and the season will close with the annual “Pork” Mathieson
memorial enduro and demo derby.
Several swap meets, car cruises, and tractor pull events will also be on the schedule.

opportunities please visit our new facebook page Michaels Mercer Raceway

LIGUORI; HENES TO BE CROWNED MUST SEE CHAMPIONS AT AWARDS CELEBRATION
January 8, 2026 – Holly, Michigan - Joe Liguori will be officially crowned the 2025 Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com champion this Saturday night January 10, 2026, at the Champions Awards Celebration. It will be Liguori’s third series title in the past five years.
Even though Liguori has won multiple MSR titles, he’s been unable to win the titles in consecutive order. Liguori attributes this to bad luck.
“It’s been luck” reflects Liguori. “We had it in bag in 2022 until we blew the driveline out at the last race. That cost us the championship. In 2023 I was plagued with engine troubles. I really didn’t race but two races all year. Then we came back and won our second consecutive championship in a row for the first time. I’m happy with where we’re at. I would have liked to win more championships and win more races too.”
When Liguori was asked to grade his 2025 season, he gave an honest answer.
“I would probably give myself a B or B plus area. No wins but we had a couple good runs where we were competing for wins. Sandusky had a tree kind of get in the way of that one. That cost us a good solid finish that night, We had several podiums throughout the year.”
Ligouri drove for the Florida based Racing team at the final Must See Racing weekend of the year in Florida and Alabama in early October. He ran strong and was in contention for the win on the final night of the season at Montgomery, Alabama.
“That was pretty good to come out of the box so strong. We were plagued with fuel issues early in the day and didn’t get a whole lot of track time with the car. We had won there in 2021 with our own car, so we had plenty of notes.
“We were fast and started a little bit behind Aaron Willison. We kept clean air for the most part. You could have thrown a blanket over his car and my car. Right at the end I faded a little bit once Bobby (Santos) got around me. Another car in front of you with dirty air puts you behind at some of those high-speed joints. I feel if we were ahead of Aaron at the end of the race it could have been a different story.”
Liguori is eagerly waiting for the 2026 season and has high hopes driving for the PCS team several times next season.
“The plan is to defend our Must See Racing championship.
We’ll run seventy-five percent of the races for Doug Kenny the #5 car. The
other races will be in our own car. We’re also gonna chase the Race for the
Million Tour. We’re gonna go out and do the best we can all year,” concluded
Liguori.
The ceremony will also honor the accomplishments of the Must See Racing
Midwest Lights Series. JJ Henes will be crowned the 2025 Midwest Lights
Series champion during the Champions Awards Ceremony.
this Saturday’s Champions Awards Celebration will be streamed live by Racing America beginning at 7:00 PM EST. by going

Racing Facebook page.

Brad Sweet Australian Trip Wrap Up!
IT’S A WRAP! In what was a short Australian 410 Sprintcar racing trip, Brad Sweet and the Landrigan Motorsports team recently concluded their 2025-26 season campaign over the Christmas-New Year period at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia.
Contesting a total of four nights of racing at the world-class Perth Motorplex, the American racer from California ran all three High Limit International nights, along with the fifth USA VS WA Speedweek Series round, and it saw the Sweet-Landrigan Motorsports team duo improve their performances, which resulted in 10th, sixth, 11th and fifth place finishes aboard the USA # 49 TLC Contracting supported Maxim.
“Although we would’ve liked to have finished a bit higher in the order over the four nights, the competition was tough and we were fairly happy with our progress, but our results weren’t a true flection of our overall pace,” commented Landrigan Motorsports team manager Jamie Landrigan.
“This was the fourth season in a row that Brad has ran for the Landrigan Motorsports team here in Australia, and as we always do we have a good time together – both at the race track and away from it.”
Running a team with one of the world’s leading 410 Sprintcar drivers doesn’t just function by magic, and the Landrigan Motorsports team would like to thank Steve Melville, American crew chief Joe Mooney and the cameo pit crew appearance during the High Limit International of Sprintcar legend Robbie Farr for their support. All three of these people played positive roles within the Landrigan Motorsports team during Sweet’s latest Australian trip. Also, a special thanks must go out to the team’s youngest pit crew member in Zac who was fun to have around helping out where he could on race nights with great enthusiasm.
When it comes to the question of Sweet returning to Australia with the Landrigan Motorsports team next season, the answer is a resounding YES. Stay tuned for future Landrigan Motorsports team updates regarding Sweet’s Australian return.
The Landrigan Motorsports team would like to thank their supporters:
· TLC Contracting
· Slims Tyre Service
· B.L. & S.G. Brick & Paving Cartage Contractor
To find out more about the Landrigan Motorsports team, you can by searching Landrigan Motorsports on both Facebook and Instagram.

ACTION SPRINT TOUR SET TO RETURN IN 2026
January 6, 2026
OHSWEKEN, ON – The Action Sprint Tour is officially set to return in 2026, bringing Crate Sprint Car competition back to the forefront with an ambitious schedule spanning two countries and seven premier dirt tracks.
The 2026 Action Sprint Tour will feature eight races at seven different venues, traveling across Ontario and making a highly anticipated stop in New York State, reaffirming the series’ regional reach and growth.
Originally launched in 2018 to provide teams with opportunities to compete at new and exciting facilities, the Action Sprint Tour took a two-year hiatus before being strategically rebuilt for the 2026 season.
“The crate engine sprint car class is the fastest-growing division in dirt racing right now,” said Clinton Geoffrey, Ohsweken Speedway General Manager and Action Sprint Tour Director. “These teams have proven they are willing to travel, and this series gives drivers the chance to earn the right to say they are the best in the region.”
The tour will kick off Friday, July 10, at Ohsweken Speedway, followed by events at Buxton Speedway, Can-Am Speedway near Watertown, New York, Brockville Speedway, Brighton Speedway, a return visit to Ohsweken Speedway, and then Merrittville Speedway, before concluding with the season finale at Cornwall Speedway.
The 2026 series champion will earn $2,500 from the points fund, while each event will pay $1,200 to win and $175 to start, offering competitive payouts throughout the season. Championship points will be calculated using each driver’s best six finishes, with five attendance points awarded at every event, encouraging both performance and commitment to the full tour.
Sponsorship and marketing opportunities remain available, as a primary series sponsor has yet to be announced, creating excitement around what has been a not-so-well-kept secret within the racing community.
“Rumours have been circulating for months,” Geoffrey added. “The teams deserve this opportunity, and the fans will be rewarded with strong car counts and outstanding racing. We’re excited to see this class continue to grow.”

Tony Stewart Named Grand Marshal Of The 40th Chili Bowl
Nationals Powered by NOS Energy
TULSA, Okla. (January 5, 2025) When you envision the Mount
Rushmore of racing, for many, the name Tony Stewart is on that list, and
rightfully so.
A USAC Triple-Crown titlist, Chili Bowl champion in 2002 and
2007, along with driving titles in NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, and SRX, to name a
few, the list of accolades and accomplishments puts the man known as “Smoke”
in a league of his own.
Making his return to Tulsa in 2026, the Chili Bowl Nationals
powered by NOS Energy Drink is honored to name the Columbus, Ind. native
Grand Marshal of the 40th running of the World’s Greatest Midget Race.
“Not only is Tony a winner here, but he was also part of
what really made the Chili Bowl take off in the early 2000s, and was the one
who really started to rebuild the connection between dirt track and NASCAR
fans. He’s an ambassador to our sport at more levels than anyone; he's a
great friend, and they don’t make them like Tony anymore, so being able to
honor him as our Grand Marshal means a lot to me, and this event,” stated
Chili Bowl co-founder, Emmett Hahn.
"I remember, we made Tony an award in 2014 to recognize what
he has done for Sprint Car racing, but this is our chance to let him know
how much the Chili Bowl appreciates him."
Along with the two Golden Drillers, Stewart has a dozen
championship A-Feature starts in 14 appearances, three podiums, four top
fives, and seven top tens. His last A-Feature appearance was in 2013.
Stewart has also been part of the track preparation crew and spent several
years working alongside Brad Chandler (aka Gravel), Steve Hahn, Matt Ward,
and Martin Edwards.
A driver and owner champion, Stewart owns titles in NASCAR,
as well as 14 USAC owner titles, nine in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy
Drink Sprint Car Series, and four in the All Star Circuit of Champions TQ
Midgets Series, as well as wins in Sprint Car racing’s most prestigious
events, including the Knoxville Nationals, 12 times.
The owner of the famed Eldora Speedway since 2004, Stewart's
cars have won the King's Royal on six occasions.
The 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy
Drink takes place January 12-17, 2026, under the giant roof of the SageNet
Center in Tulsa, Okla. Fans unable to attend the Chili Bowl Nationals can
watch every lap live at http://www.floracing.com.
Monday and Tuesday, reserved seats are available at (918)
838-3777, or at the event. Pit Passes are sold at the event and include
general admission seating on the back straightaway. Pit Passes are $60 per
weekday and $75 on Saturday. Those are sold at the event.

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (January 5, 2026) – It was a tough weekend Down Under for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall, and although the ace of the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 was forced to settle for a DNF as a weekend highlight, his focus remains sharp, ready to regroup for Perth Motorplex’s USA vs. Western Australia Speedweek Finale on Friday and Saturday, January 9-10.
Before a part failure ended his progress in the aforementioned DNF, Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion, was battling for a top-five, climbing ahead from the outside of row six at Bunbury Speedway on Saturday, January 3.
“Had some things not go our way this weekend, but we’ll regroup and be ready to go again,” Whittall said. “Everyone at RBH Racing does an amazing job and I’m certainly privileged to be here. We have a lot of season left in Australia with a packed January schedule…plenty of time to get back on track.”

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
JONESTOWN, Pa. (January 5, 2026) – The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport went toe to toe with some tough luck during the recent weekend, forced to conclude each of their starts at Perth Motorplex and Bunbury Speedway short of expectation. In fact, mechanical woes were the culprit in the aforementioned double, breaking a right rear shock stud on Friday and a birdcage – while running second – on Saturday. Regardless, the team did the best they could to persevere, still managing to finish 12th at Perth.
The Goldstar Transport, Fennell Tyres, Blue Water Shipping, Velocity Truck Centers, No. W95 team will push forward and continue their January stretch with another doubleheader, this time back at Perth Motorplex for the USA vs. Western Australia Speedweek Finale on January 9-10.
“If we can shake off some of this bad luck, we’ll be just fine,” Brock Zearfoss noted. “We still have one week to go. Can’t thank everyone at S&D Motorsport enough for their hard work, support, and most importantly, hospitality. It’s a privilege to come to Australia and compete and we’re enjoying every minute of the experience. We’ll work to end our campaign on top.”

RAISING THE BAR: Doney-Lawson Racing sets aim on major
schedule with 60 events in ten states; Partnership opportunities still
available
ByTyler Altmeyer
January 5, 2026
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (January 5, 2026) – The 2026 season will be bigger than ever for Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, set to chase a 60-race schedule across nearly a dozen states, complete with High Limit Racing, World of Outlaws, and POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League competition. Just as seasons prior, Xavier Doney, as well as younger sister Natalie Doney, will each participate in the ambitious schedule, and although not all of their dates are locked and sealed, the team will likely begin competition in late February at RPM Speedway in Candall, Texas.
With a major schedule comes major commitment, not just in time and effort, but in equipment and resources. To accommodate these commitments, Doney-Lawson Racing is actively seeking outside investment with varying partnership levels available. Those interested in joining the DLR Family should inquire within immediately, doing so via the team’s website or contact information below.
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will roll into 2026 fresh off of a competitive, yet successful 2025 season padded by a podium outcome in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League driver standings. In fact, Xavier Doney, the ace who achieved the aforementioned statistic, won twice in his POWRi schedule, ending his campaign with 19 top-ten finishes in 24 A-Main starts.
Doney-Lawson Racing’s official schedule will be released in the coming weeks.

2025 All-HammerDown! Team Release –
December 31, 2025 — Rocklin, California
HammerDownUSA.com is proud to announce the 2025 All-HammerDown! Team, honoring the top 40 short track open-wheel racers in the United States. This elite group is led by Rico Abreu, the champion of the 2025 Racers’ Racing Series.
Drivers earned their place on the All-HammerDown! Team by finishing inside the top 40 of HammerDownUSA.com’s Racers’ Racing Series standings, which were determined over a demanding 60-race schedule featuring many of the nation’s most prestigious and competitive events. To score points, a driver had to finish inside the top eleven of an A-Feature. In total, 157 drivers earned points in 2025.
“It was a remarkable year,” said Bobby Gerould, editor of HammerDownUSA.com. “There were nine races that paid $100,000 or more to win. Of the 60 events on the points-paying schedule, 51 paid at least $20,000 to the winner.”
Donny Schatz extended his unmatched streak as the only driver to be named to the All-HammerDown! Team every year since its inception in 2003, marking 23 consecutive selections.
Three racers earned first-time selections in 2025: Chase Dietz, Tanner Holmes, and Sye Lynch. This year’s roster reflects an extraordinary age range of talent — from 19-year-old Ryan Timms to 60-year-old veteran Lance Dewease.

MUST SEE RACING SET TO COMPETE IN CANADA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2026
December 30, 2025 - Holly, Michigan - Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com today announced that the series will be competing in Canada for the first time in series history when it visits Delaware Speedway in Delaware, Ontario, Canada Friday August 7, 2026.
The 40-lap event will pay $10,000 to win and $700 to start. All purse monies will be paid in U.S. Dollars.
This will be the first time since June 5, 2009, that winged pavement sprint cars have competed anywhere in the Canadian Province of Ontario. Mike Ling won that last event at Delaware Speedway over 16 years ago. It is only fitting that the return of winged pavement sprint cars to Ontario will be at the half-mile semi-banked Delaware Speedway.
Delaware Speedway management has a huge opportunity to host this historic MSR event and Delaware Speedway Director of Motorsports Alex Nagy realizes how big this event will be.
“We’re always looking for different things for our fan base” explains Nagy. “We try to feature a diverse cross section of different types of racing. We’ve looked at sprint car stuff on and off a little bit. We had some contact with local car owner Wade Litt. His son Ryan races for him, and they run with Must See Racing. He put us in touch with Must See Racing president Jim Hanks and we were able to put something together.
“It’s very exciting to us to be the ones to bring back these types of cars to the province. Fans haven’t seen these types of cars in a very long time. The timing was right and we are excited to bring asphalt sprint cars back to Ontario. With local content it should be a great show.
Our fans have a pent-up demand for these cars since it’s been so long since they’ve seen them. When I spoke with Jim Hanks, I wanted to get the purse up to show everybody we’re for real here. We’re looking to make it the best show in the area” concluded Nagy.
More details about this event will be announced as details are finalized. Officials indicated they will have a plan in place to make crossing the border an easy process for U.S. teams looking to compete in the event.
A TBA announced date for Sunday August 9 was also announced. The track and location will be announced once details have been finalized. This would give teams a two-day race weekend.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Doney-Lawson Racing’s Xavier Doney qualifies for High
Limit International finale
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 30, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (December 30, 2025) – Xavier Doney of Doney-Lawson Racing and Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars put it in the “Big Dance” Tuesday evening at the Perth Motorplex in Perth, Western Australia, eventually battling for a $110,000 top prize in High Limit Racing’s international showcase. Doney, a native of the United States who calls Odessa, Missouri, home, earned his way into the 35-lap main event through the evening’s B-Main, finishing third in the 15-lap consolation after starting fifth on the grid. The former POWRi full-timer raced on to finish 15th in the aforementioned 35-lap finale, commencing action from the inside of row 12.
The High Limit International event was three days in total beginning Sunday, December 28. Doney qualified for each of the three main events contested with the finale being his best result. The program attracted some of the best open wheel racers in the world including eventual main event winner and recent NASCAR Cup Series champion, Kyle Larson.
Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will roll into 2026 fresh off of a competitive, yet successful 2025 season padded by a podium outcome in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League driver standings. In fact, Xavier Doney, the ace who achieved the aforementioned statistic, won twice in his POWRi schedule, ending his campaign with 19 top-ten finishes in 24 A-Main starts.
Doney-Lawson Racing’s official schedule will be released in the coming weeks.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Whittall makes big moves to qualify for High Limit
International finale; Australia season continues January 2
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 30, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (December 30, 2025) – It was a hard-fought week Down Under for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall and Australia’s own RBH Racing, but in the end, the team achieved their goal, not only qualifying for the $110,000-to-win High Limit International finale at Perth Motorplex in Perth, Western Australia, but doing so in convincing fashion; a charge from 20th to fourth in the evening’s consolation B-Main. Although forced to eventually DNF in the 35-lap headliner, the ace of the RBH Racing, RBH Group, Turret Engineering, No. 21 was scored 23rd, bettering nearly half of the 41-car field entered for competition.
Whittall’s highlight of the week occurred in the High Limit International opener on Sunday, December 28, where the 2025 Port Royal Speedway Track Champion hard-charged from 22nd to 14th – the result was good enough to secure the evening’s official Hard Charger Award.
“Just super proud of this entire RBH Racing team. We battled through a lot this week, and in the end, we put it in the show,” Whittall was quick to acknowledge. “I didn’t have a lot of confidence while I was sitting in B-Main staging, but once we got rolling, we were really good. We still have a lot of racing left on our schedule. Excited to see what we can do.”
Justin Whittall and RBH Racing will continue their 2025/2026 tour of Australia with two starts immediately following the New Year; returning to Perth on January 2 before a visit to Bunbury on January 3.

Scott Hess Racing Announces Chase Gutshall as Driver of
No. 88 Winged Super Sportsman for 2026 Season at BAPS Motor Speedway

Scott Hess Racing is proud to announce that Chase Gutshall has been named the driver of the No. 88 Winged Super Sportsman for the full slate of events at BAPS Motor Speedway during the 2026 racing season.
The announcement follows the retirement of longtime driver Tony Jackson, who concluded his tenure with the team in impressive fashion. Jackson capped off a standout season that included 15 victories, along with numerous additional wins and consistent top performances, firmly establishing the No. 88 team as one of the premier operations in the division.
Gutshall, a former Sportsman division winner, brings proven talent and versatility to the Scott Hess Racing program. After recently advancing to the highly competitive Winged 358 Sprint Car division, Gutshall is eager to stay sharp and continue gaining valuable seat time behind the wheel in the Super Sportsman ranks.
“We plan to run every show at BAPS as long as it fits into our family team’s 358 program, and I’m excited to get going in 2026,” said Gutshall. “Scott, Lori, and their entire team have built something that’s as competitive as any in the Sportsman division, and being part of that is an opportunity I’m really excited about.”
“It’ll be a bit of an adjustment getting back into a Sportsman, but the extra seat time and having fun is only going to help me mentally and physically as a driver,” Gutshall continued. “In the 358 division, track time can be limited, and this gives me more laps at key facilities. Ultimately, it’s about having fun and getting to victory lane, and I’m confident we can do that together.”
While Gutshall is slated to compete full-time at BAPS Motor Speedway in 2026, the door remains open for Jackson to make select appearances should he choose to do so throughout the season.
Scott Hess Racing is optimistic about the upcoming year and confident that the combination of Gutshall, the No. 88 machine, and the team’s proven program will continue to deliver strong performances and success.
“I’ve known Chase’s dad since he was a kid, and Tony actually played a role in bringing Chase into the fold,” said team owner Scott Hess. “He really liked Chase’s driving style, and we both feel he’s the right guy to take our team forward during this transition. We’re excited to have him on board and ready to hit the ground running in 2026.”
Gutshall also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. “I can’t thank Scott and Lori enough for believing in me and giving me this chance,” he said. “I’m also extremely thankful to their sponsors for their support and confidence in me to keep things moving in the right direction. This is a top-notch team, and I’m grateful for everyone involved.”
Sponsorship Outlook for 2026
Scott Hess Racing is pleased to announce that all current team sponsors will be returning to the No. 88 machine for the 2026 racing season, with the addition of Gutshall’s Automotive joining the program. Should additional sponsorship be secured, the team will explore the possibility of fielding a Wingless Sportsman entry at select events in support of Gutshall.
For those interested in sponsoring the team or for inquiries regarding availability and pricing, please contact Scott Hess, Chase Gutshall, or reach out to Addicted2Dirt.

Swank, certainly no stranger to a national touring series, will pair with Lubbock, Texas, ace Brenham Crouch, working to outdo the team’s 2025 High Limit Racing stat sheet and ultimately contend for a title.
The 2026 High Limit Racing championship schedule is set to ignite in mid-March with a three-night stay at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway dirt track.
“We’re excited, as well as privileged to have Tyler [Swank] come join our efforts at CJB Motorsports. He’s a guy that takes his work very seriously, and not to mention, has a wealth of knowledge and experience. We’re confident he’ll take our High Limit Racing efforts to the next level,” Chad Clemens noted. “The team has a lot of work ahead of them, but they’ll be ready. It’s going to be an exciting season and I’m anxious to get started.”
“This is an exciting opportunity and I’m ready to get to work,” Swank was quick to note. “Chad, Ann Marie, and everyone at CJB Motorsports run a top-notch operation and I hope to only add to their value. It will be a competitive year, for sure, but Brenham [Crouch] and I are ready for the challenge.”
Crouch and CJB Motorsports will roll into the 2026 High Limit Racing season fresh off of a successful 2025 campaign, concluding their efforts with a top-ten appearance in the final High Limit Racing driver championship.
More news and updates pertaining to the team’s crew and partners will be released in the coming days. Fans are encouraged to keep up with everything CJB Motorsports online at https://cjbmotorsports.net/, or on social media via FACEBOOK, X, and INSTAGRAM.

It's All Cap Henry In Finale To 27th Rumble In Fort Wayne
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Dec. 20, 2025) – In the return of the 100-lap distance to the famed Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, Ohio’s Cap Henry authored a dominant performance of epic proportions.
After earning the pole position for the grand finale of the 27th Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales, Henry took off like a shot and never trailed during the Burco Molding Race to 100 for the headlining national midget division.
Henry led every lap en route to a $4,000 victory, earning his second career Rumble in Fort Wayne triumph in the top class as part of a one-two sweep by Joe Liguori Racing.
Though the race was split into three segments – providing air quality breaks near the one-third and two-third benchmarks, respectively – there was never a point where it felt like Henry wasn’t in control.
He fended off Russ Gamester through the first 75 laps, then pulled away late after young Kasey Jedrzejek shuffled Gamester out of the mix, creating a final battle for the runner-up honors between Jedrzejek and Henry’s car owner Joe Liguori.
A spin by fifth-running Derek Bischak right after the white flag set up a green-white-checkered finish, pushing the race one lap beyond its scheduled distance, but Henry easily pulled away from Liguori to a .618-second margin of victory.
Henry drew the number-one pill early in the night and officially secured the feature pole by winning the Ohio Supermodified Sprint Series Dash. It was that moment that made him believe he could control the proceedings the way that he did come race time.
“I said [before the race] that [the field] didn’t want me starting pole and setting the pace,” Henry noted. “I guess now, you can see why just a little bit.”
The only true nervous moment for Henry all night came with 10 laps left, when he was passing the slower car of Chris Neuenschwander and got into Neuenschwander’s No. 3 with his right front tire.
It could have been disastrous, but Henry barely missed a beat and continued to lead with no discernable damage to his red No. 41.
“I thought I was there and I was trying to get out of [that situation],” Henry admitted. “To be honest with you, I thought the thing was going to blow up with 30 to go, so at that point I was running the dog crap out of it to try and make sure … if I was going to blow up, I at least wanted to have a big lead when I did.
“Luckily it didn’t happen and we were able to hold on. This is such a cool moment. … I remember being a little kid in this building and watching the 100-lappers, and I didn’t think I’d ever win one. I didn’t think I’d ever win a midget race in here, period. So just to come in here and have this good a race car, it shows how hard everyone on this [No.] 41 car works.”
There was also emotion in Henry’s voice, reflecting on the first win for Liguori’s team since the loss of former team owner Randall ‘Slim’ Williams earlier in the year.
“Man, we lost Slim this year, and I really miss him,” said Henry as tears welled in his eyes. “He was such a big part of this Joe Liguori Racing deal and it means a lot to win one for him like this. I hope he’s watching and proud of what we did here.”
A total of seven yellow flags slowed Saturday night’s midget finale, including the two scheduled air-quality breaks. The lap-35 stoppage occurred on schedule, while the lap-70 break was pushed up by eight circuits after a stuck throttle for Sam Hinds led to a huge impact with the turn-one hay bales.
The incident looked vicious, but Hinds climbed out uninjured, though his race was over at lap 62.
Liguori got to third in the final quarter of the race, chasing Jedrzejek up through traffic, before making the pass for second coming to 12 laps left and settling in well behind his teammate.
Even with the final caution giving his a chance at Henry’s bumper, Liguori tipped he had no real offense with how strong Henry was all race long.
“It’s funny; I’ve been coming here for about 20 years and won the thing a couple of times, but I’d never finished second before tonight,” Liguori said. “It’s cool to get another one-two for this team, though. We did that last year in the Saturday show, when I won and Cap ran second.
“Racing Kasey was fun and I did everything I could to be as clean as possible, but it is indoor racing and you’ve got to use the bumpers at times. I’d expect the same in return,” Liguori added. “I needed that yellow to get to Cap, but as I was chasing him, I burned the brakes off my car and had nothing left on that green-white-checkered. It was all his race at that point.”
Jedrzejek crossed third in his best Rumble midget showing in three attempts, with Gamester fading to fourth and Jakeb Boxell finishing fifth to earn Rookie of the Race honors.
Saturday’s headliner was the first 100-lap midget race in Fort Wayne in more than two decades.
Meanwhile, the 600cc micro sprint features Saturday night weren’t all about John Ivy the driver, as they’ve been in so many years past at the Rumble. They were, however, about Ivy the car owner.
Ivy’s driver Tyler Shullick swept both the winged and non-winged micro features to cap off the Rumble, pushing his weekend record to three-for-four and his career Rumble win total to six between the two micro sprint classes.
The 25-lap non-winged leg saw Shullick capitalize after race-long leader Brent Busz was spun by then runner-up Dillon Nusbaum with nine laps left, as the pair battled for the top spot into turn one.
Nusbaum was sent to the rear for the contact along with Busz, elevating Shullick to the lead from third and allowing him to run off by 1.163 seconds in the end.
Dylan Woodling, Brian Busz, Friday winner Larry Joe Sroufe, and Joss Ross completed the top five.
The winged micro 25-lapper was dominated by three John Ivy-owned race cars, with Ivy’s daughter Kelsey Mange racing to the early lead from the outside of the front row and setting the pace for the first 14 circuits.
A caution for a spinning Tylar Rankin gave Shullick a chance, though, and he darted past Mange on the 11-to-go restart and never gave up command again.
Three more cautions inside of five to go created a few nervous moments, but Mange and Ivy hung on to second and third, respectively, to complete an incredible night for their organization overall – with Shullick leading the way.
“It’s all about the people you surround yourself with. I’ve got a lot of good people in my life that make race cars like this go, and we needed all of them to do what we did this weekend,” said Shullick. “The driving part is on me, and I always give it my best effort, but the least I can do is reward this team with wins for all that they do to give me these opportunities.
“The non-wing deal, we got a break when those two got together ahead of us, but the wing deal … I ran my butt off trying to get around Kelsey. That caution, I think, saved me because she was on rails. She did a hell of a job, and I didn’t think I’d get her if it had stayed green.
“These are the weekends that we live for. I don’t think there’s another team in the pit area that has as much fun as we do and we pride ourselves on that.”
In addition to the three major classes, 16 grassroots divisions between go-karts, quarter midgets, and mini wedges also competed on Saturday.
Headlining that list of winners was Dustin Heath, who topped the 360 Clone class in the traditional Limbacher Memorial go-kart race, and triple Saturday quarter midget victor Weston Kudner.
Kudner’s scores came in the Animal Combined, Senior Honda, and Light 160 divisions.
On-demand replays of every lap from the 27th Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales are available through Pit Row TV, a member of the SPEED SPORT Network and the Rumble’s exclusive broadcast partner.
The 28th Rumble in Fort Wayne is slated for Dec. 18-19, 2026.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2025
As if the carrot being dangled wasn’t big enough, there are $30,000 more reasons for drivers to contest Speedweek in Western Australia, which kicks off at the Perth Motorplex on Boxing Day.
It can now be confirmed that a $30,000 Speedweek points will be paid to the top 15 drivers overall in the series over eight nights.
This includes a cool $10,000 going to the Speedweek winner, with the second-placed pointscorer receiving $5000 and the third-placed driver will bank $2500.
The Sprintcar Entrants Group (SEG) and the Sprintcar Association of Western Australia would like to thank Speedway Australia for providing $20,000 for the fund.
“We also want to thank the SEG board and the Perth Motorplex for each adding $5000 to the fund, taking it up to $30,000,” said SEG board chairman Geoff Kendrick.
“We think we have an amazing Speedweek series and it is world-renowned with a big list of drivers from America making their way here to compete, as well as some of the best from the east coast.
“Thanks to our television packages with Night Thunder/Channel 7 and Flo, people from all over the world will be able to watch Speedweek which is part of the 2025-26 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series championship.
“We are proud of what we have achieved with the series so far and we are sure the drivers will appreciate the extra prize fund that has now been made available – particularly the winner who will receive another $10,000 on top of the prizemoney they will receive from each round.”
A stout 41-car field is locked in for night one of Speedweek, the Burson Auto Parts Boxing Day Bonanza at the Perth Motorplex this Friday, December 26, before the field grows with the arrival of more Americans, Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet, for the three nights of High Limit International: Perth, that kicks off at the Motorplex on December 28.
Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour announces 2026 schedule
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. has officially released the 2026 schedule of events for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The California based Winged Sprint Car series is set to contest its ninth overall season, which offers another exciting slate of races up and down the West Coast.
“The Sprint Car Challenge Tour looks to be in for another entertaining season,” commented President Scott Russell. “When you look at it from April to November fans and teams have plenty of great racing to choose from. We want to send a huge thank you to Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tire and all the partners that make this tour possible.”
All www.shopkylelarson.com main events are once again $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start this coming season.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will compete in a total of 16 events, which gets underway with the April 4th running of the “Thrill on the Hill,” marking the first of three appearances at Placerville Speedway.
The tour returns to Placerville on May 30th for the second annual “Davy Thomas Memorial,” which moves to a Saturday date this coming year. SCCT will also compete at the red clay on July 18th as part of Western Sprint Tour Speedweek.
Continuing to rise in popularity among fans and teams is Merced Speedway, which is back on the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour schedule. California’s top Winged 360 Sprint Car teams will invade the high-banked quarter mile on Saturday April 25th.
The Petaluma Speedway hosts a pair of Sprint Car Challenge Tour events in 2026. Those dates will occur on June 13th with an event dubbed as “Wings Over Wine Country” and October 17th, as SCCT sanctions the $5,000-to-win “Adobe Cup” for the fifth consecutive season.
The Sprint Car Challenge Tour will again be part of the 26th annual “Mel and Marlyn Hall Memorial” held on Memorial Day weekend at Marysville Raceway. This coming year’s event takes place on Sunday May 24th and has provided several thrills over the last handful of seasons.
The always challenging and popular Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare also hosts the SCCT 360s for a can’t miss night of racing on Saturday October 3rd.
For the third consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will embark upon Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which mirrors that of the schedule last year.
The overall Speedweek champion will claim $4,000 with the runner up receiving $2,500 and third place getting $1,500. Redding’s Max Mittry claimed the title this past season by just two points over Oregon’s Kinzer Cox.
All the action launches at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Friday July 17th, followed by the “Gold Pan Rampage” at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 18th.
A travel day will be held on Sunday, before action resumes
at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Monday July 20th.
Speedweek heads for the coast on Tuesday with a date at the beautiful Coos
Bay Speedway on July 21st and continues north to Cottage Grove Speedway on
Wednesday July 22nd.
Another travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the
second ever SCCT appearance at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington for the
two-night “360 Summer Nationals” highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/
$600-to-start main event on Saturday.
Speedweek all culminates with the “Hall of Fame Tribute-360 Battle Royale” on Sunday July 26th at Gray’s Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington.
“I really want to thank the staff at Skagit Speedway for coming on board and working with us again on Western Sprint Tour Speedweek,” said Russell. “They are offering a fantastic purse for the racers at the 360 Nationals, which should make for an outstanding weekend of racing. It was great to see a lot of California fans make a vacation out of it last year and travel north with us.”
As is the norm, the Stockton Dirt Track wraps up the SCCT campaign with the 43rd annual “Tribute to Gary Patterson” on Saturday November 7th.
Thanks to the generous support from Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tires and RMI the SCCT champion once again pockets $10,000 cash.

Diamond Sprint Car Series Unveiled for Upper Midwest Teams, Tracks & Fans!
Grand Rapids, MN (12/20/25) by DarinShort.com. 2026 will mark a fresh look and excitement level for fans, teams and tracks in the Upper Midwest, as the new Pirtek Diamond Sprint Car Series rebranding; schedule and rules are now available for viewing. Click www.DiamondSprintCarSeries.com to check it all out.
And you know the expression: “put your money where your mouth is?” In that same vein, the Diamond Sprint Car Series puts its series championship winner where its name is – in the form of a diamond championship ring!
That’s right, at the conclusion of the series points season, the top driver in points will receive a custom-made diamond ring to commemorate their accomplishment.
Drivers will preregister for each event, which will allow time for the series and the track to pre-publicize to fans who they can expect to see competing on race night. This simple step will help generate fan buzz as well. Those preregistered drivers will also receive increased payback for their support come race night. Details on this driver procedure will be posted prior to each event.
In addition to the www.DiamondSprintCarSeries.com domain name, you can also click www.DiamondSprints.com as an alternate web address – for those who prefer to type in less characters...and it will take you to the same series homepage.
TECH NOTE: The above domain names are newly registered, and in the event that your web browser gives you an error message, click www.umsprints.com/diamond-series.html and it will take you to the same destination for the series. This should just be a temporary issue, again, if you run into it.
If you are on Facebook, you can click www.facebook.com/DiamondSprintCarSeries to get the latest series news and interact with others on the page.
This series offers a place for experienced sprint car racers to ‘graduate to’ and gives us, as a series, the ability to keep our weekly racing affordable and fun for all participants involved.
Detailed purse structure and preregistration procedures will be posted in the weeks to come.
Many of the tracks in the Upper Midwest are still working on their 2026 schedules, and we are listing their dates below as TBA for the time being, so be watching for the official schedule updates in the weeks to come. But here is the 2026 Diamond Sprint Car Series Schedule and expected race dates – as of 12/20/25:
May 21 Grand Rapids Speedway (MN)
May 22 Hibbing Speedway (MN)
May 23 Hibbing Speedway (MN)
June 18 TBA
June 19 TBA
July 2 TBA
July 3 TBA
July 4 Viking Speedway (MN)
Aug 7 TBA
Aug 8 ABC Raceway (WI)

If your track is interested in Diamond Sprint Car Series booking information, or if your business is looking for an effective way to get your name out, please contact Caley Emerson at: caley15e@gmail.com or 218-398-7807.
To everyone that has supported the High Roller Series the past two seasons, we thank you, and we’re looking forward to coming back stronger and bigger in 2026 as the Diamond Sprint Car Series – and we will see you at the track this spring!

THE COUNT IS IN...
We Have A New Tulsa Shootout Entry Record
Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (December 17, 2025) Just when
you think there can’t be any more Micros, a few more show up, and with the
entry deadline passing, the number of entries in the 41st annual Hyper
Racing Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy has rocketed to an unimaginable
1,939.
Set during the 2025 event, the previous record of entries
received was 1,855, with 1,798 drawing in.
“I think back to when we ran the Karts, Quads, Bikes, and
Micros, and getting 1,000 entries was pretty normal since we had over 20
classes racing, but I never imagined when we changed the event to focus on
the Micros that it was going to get this big, and I am very grateful for
it,” stated event founder, Emmett Hahn.
Among those ready to battle at the “Mecca of Micros” is Kyle
Larson, who, in an interview with FloRacing this week, explained his travel
plans from Australia, where he will be competing with the Kubota High Limit
Racing, to be part of the Sawyer Chassis Winged Outlaw ranks. Children Owen
and Audrey will also be in competition.
Talking further with Emmett and referencing Kyle planning to
be a part of the event, Hahn stated, “That right there shows what this event
is about. Getting to race, and do it with your kids, and it’s not just Kyle.
I see it all over that pit area, and well, in our office. Just like those
parents racing with their kids, my kids, and now even my grandkids are
involved with the Shootout and the Chili Bowl.”
Class counts going into the annual Hyper Racing Tulsa
Shootout powered by NOS Energy shows Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing
and JST Motorsports A-Class with the most at 460 each. Hyper Racing Non-Wing
Outlaw at 412 entries, is followed by Sawyer Chassis Winged Outlaw at 270,

National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum
Nine Inductees Announced as “Class of 2026” for National Sprint Car Hall
of Fame!
Knoxville, IA, December 19, 2025 – The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame
is pleased to announce the names of its nine inductees for 2026. Those that
will be inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame on Saturday, May
30, during the 36th induction ceremonies in Knoxville, Iowa, are:
Drivers
Steve Chassey – The native of Massachusetts returned after fighting with
honors in Vietnam to win the California Racing Association’s (CRA) Rookie of
the Year title in 1969. He continued racing sprints, midgets, dirt champ and
Indy cars across the country after relocating to Indianapolis. He won 15
times with USAC including the USAC Silver Crown “Hoosier Hundred” in 1994.
He was prolific on the high banks with USAC and is the only driver in series
history to win five times at one track in one year (Winchester Speedway,
1979). Steve was his own mechanic and engineer and after driving moved into
race broadcasting for ESPN’s “Thursday Night Thunder.”
Jerry McClung – “Termite” Jerry McClung won his first race in 1962 at
Manzanita Speedway in his native Phoenix. He followed that season with nine
wins and a track championship at Manzy in 1963. Championships followed in
1967 and 1968. That began a career in Super-modifieds and sprint cars that
saw 105 wins at Manzy alone. Jerry scored six wins with CRA including a
track record at El Centro. In 1970 and 1971, he raced USAC National Midgets,
recording ten wins and two top five finishes in points. He returned to
success in the sprint car, registering more wins, including one at the
Knoxville Raceway, where he qualified for the Knoxville Nationals finale
three times.
Jerry Stone – Jerry’s career began around his native Wichita and ranged from
super-modifieds to 100 inch dirt cars to 410 sprint cars across the Midwest
and as far east as central Pennsylvania, where he was a regular for a time.
Jerry made a name for himself, winning in many forms of racing, but his
career became focused when the NCRA was formed. He won the 1976 prestigious
Hutchinson (KS) Nationals, and later would befriend Lloyd K. Stephens and
drive for the OFIXCO team. He won four NCRA championships before 1984. The
following year he moved to central PA, racing there for a time and picking
up wins at Williams Grove, Selinsgrove and Hagerstown, to name a few tracks.
Upon returning to the Midwest, he picked up where he left off, capturing a
fifth NCRA title and the Tulsa Speedway championship in 1990. He picked up
over 125 wins in his sprint car/supermodified career and is already a member
of four different Halls of Fame.
Owners-Mechanics-Builders-Manufacturers-Car Builders
Jimmy Carr – A British Columbia native, Jimmy’s career began behind the
wheel. Over 14 years, he raced at Skagit (WA) Speedway, was the 1991 World
of Outlaws Rookie of the Year, and picked up some regional wins from
Illinois to California. His life changed when he joined forces with Danny
Lasoski as crew chief on the Roth Beef Packers #86 in 1998. His experience
as a driver translated when watching the car on the track. The car won 32
times with the WoO and took the Knoxville Nationals in 1998. Jimmy and
Lasoski would build Tony Stewart Racing from the ground up, winning over 100
races over the next several seasons. Included was three more Knoxville
Nationals titles, and a WoO championship in 2001, a year Carr was named the
WoO “Mechanic of the Year.” After Lasoski parted with TSR, Carr stayed on as
crew chief for several drivers (including Donny Schatz, who garnered 222
wins in that time), and eventually taking over as Team Manager. In five
years with Dominic Scelzi’s team from 2020 to 2025, they amassed 48 wins and
two NARC titles. In total, Jimmy’s involvement as a driver, crew chief and
team manager resulted in over 400 wins entering 2025.
Ed Iskenderian – The son of Armenian immigrants in the central valley of
California, Ed moved with his family south to Los Angeles when the grape
vines went dry in the 1920’s. LA had become the racing capital of the world.
Ed built his own Model T Roadster, but wasn’t satisfied with the
reliability, he shifted his attention to Ford’s new V-8 engine. After flying
supply missions in World War II, he worked as a Tool and Die maker.
Frustrated by having to wait five months for camshafts, he began grinding
his own with fellow Hall of Famer Ed Winfield. Word spread about the “Isky”
cams, and in combination with local hot rods forming the California Racing
Association (CRA) on oval tracks, business boomed. His one-man shop in
Culver City, California has moved to currently employ over 100 in a 75,000
square foot facility in Gardena, California. Ed was the first president of
SEMA and is in that Hall of Fame as well as PRI. Sprint cars across the
country still rely on Isky cams. Ed turned 104 in 2025.
Bob Westphal – A native of Fremont, Nebraska, Bob would eventually move his
operation to Oklahoma. He built engines that were successful in NHRA and
NASCAR, but the self-taught mechanic made his mark with sprint cars through
his Wesmar Racing Engines. Twenty-three drivers in the National Sprint Car
Hall of Fame starting with Bobby Marshall in 1981. In 1982, Sammy Swindell
grabbed the first of over 200 World of Outlaws wins for Wesmar. Bob’s
engines also won in Australia and New Zealand, and at least one was in the
Knoxville Nationals championship from 1982 through 2013, with two wins.
Wesmar also won eleven 360 Nationals titles at Knoxville. Championships came
with WoO, ASCS, USCS, URC, IRA, USAC, OCRS, NCRA and the All Stars, as well
as local and regional championships as well as other crown jewel events
across the country. He collaborated with fellow engine builder Ron Shaver in
the creation of Shaver-Wesmar Gear Drives which are used by many builders
today. Bob passed away in 2013.
Promoters-Officials-Media Members-Event/Series Sponsors
Eloy Gutierrez – A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Eloy began as an
official and flagman with the New Mexico Motor Racing Association in 1968.
His involvement in racing would span over 55 years. Eloy’s biggest
contribution may have come in the early 1990’s, when with partner, BD
Schafer, they introduced electronic timing and scoring to sprint car racing.
Initially, it made things much easier for scorers, but it has become a
technology that is taken for granted across racing at tracks, by teams and
mobile apps. Their technology took some convincing, but the World of Outlaws
agreed to take the plunge in 1998. Eloy and BD often footed the bill for the
technology and proper gear to get the job done. They also were responsible
for the labor at the track including installing scoring loops. It made it’s
television debut with TNN in 1998, and has become a staple that is taken for
granted on broadcasts on TV or PPV. Eloy passed away in 2024.
Allan Holland – A native of Drums, Pennsylvania, and a plumber by trade,
Allan utilized technology to bring results to anyone online in a matter of
hours, changing the way sprint car news was distributed and written. In
1997, shortly after the internet became mainstream, he created Hoseheads.com.
After almost 30 years, “Hoseheads” still brings timely news, columns and
photos to sprint car fans around the world. Allan’s efforts brought some of
the greatest writers and photographers to the computer for all to see.
Several Hall of Famers have contributed to Hoseheads over the years, and it
sparked the careers of several media members. In addition to the website,
which Allan still updates often 365 days a year, he penned a column for
Sprint Car & Midget for its run from 2002-22. Allan was also a producer with
the Sprint Car Network (SCN), broadcasting World of Outlaws events over the
internet for several seasons before PPV. When PPV came in, Allan has
produced several events for DirtVision, and is currently producing the shows
at Williams Grove Speedway in his native state. For many years, Allan has
spearheaded the Central PA point fund, and has been generous in sponsorship
of many sprint car related events. The “Hosehead” name has been used for
many charitable organizations, a message board, and much more over the
years!
Pre-1970
Bob Gregg – Bob’s driving career began in 1938 in the Pacific Northwest. He
raced almost 50 years, with his last event in 1986. He scored wins in every
decade. The Golden Wheels Vintage Racing Club based in western Washington
named him “Driver of the Century.” He was one of the most decorated drivers
in that region of the country. Much of his early success came in midgets
where he won 13 season titles in Oregon and Washington. He was also winning
in sprint cars, supermodifieds and roadsters during this time. In 1951, he
won the ARA sanctioned 100-mile sprint car race in Reno, and won the
eight-race US/Canada Gold Cup for sprints/supermodifieds in 1962 to name a
couple of his accomplishments. Bob’s career included 22 championships. He
passed away in 2002.
According to National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum executive director
Bob Baker, “We’d like to acknowledge the hard work put in by our National
Induction Committee and we thank them for another fine class of inductees!
We are really looking forward to our 36th induction banquet at the
Dyer-Hudson building on the Marion County Fairgrounds in Knoxville, Iowa on
Saturday, May 30!”

MACEDO LOCKED AND LOADED
COLE Macedo may only be in Australia for a month, but he is certainly going to be jamming a lot of 410 Sprintcar racing into his Christmas-New Year schedule with the Highline Motorsport team.
Although his upcoming Australian trip original plans had changed a few months ago, the 25-year-old from Lemoore in California is looking forward to linking up with the Perth, Western Australia-based Highline Motorsport team for what is his third Australian racing trip.
“Running with the Highline Motorsport team came out of the blue shortly after my previous Australian ride fell over, so I’m very grateful to be given this opportunity to run for Daryl Clayden and his Highline Motorsport team,” Cole expressed.
“Following my pleasing achievements during my last trip to Australia, I’m looking to build on that form with the Highline Motorsport team during my upcoming trip. The Highline Motorsport team have a first class operation headed by crew chief Bobby Marlow and I’m confident that we can come together and do some great things at every event we contest.”
Cole’s last Australian trip saw him perform strongly during the first annual High Limit International at the Perth Motorplex with his previous team by being in podium contention over all three nights and then he went on to win three feature races on the east coast when he drove for the Dyson Motorsport team with two wins at Sydney Speedway in NSW and the other at Premier Speedway in Victoria.
Highline Motorsport team owner / manager Daryl Clayden is equally excited to have a world class calibre driver join his team for the upcoming Christmas-New Year period.
“When Cole’s previous deal didn’t go ahead as planned, I reached out to him about putting together a deal with us, and it didn’t take long for him to agree,” explained Clayden.
“Cole showed during last season’s trip that he can mix with the best of them, and our team has left no stone unturned in giving him the best opportunity to do so no matter where we travel to. Apart from him trying to win every night, he is going to be a big help with my son Kodi who is currently in his first season of 410 Sprintcar racing, so having someone like Cole join our team is going to be invaluable for him with his learning curve.”
Stay tuned for announcements regarding the Highline Motorsport team’s merchandise for Cole’s trip.

OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN RETURNS FOR FOURTH RUNNING IN LAS
VEGAS, NOV 5-7, 2026
LAS VEGAS, NV (December 11, 2025) – The fourth annual Davey
Hamilton, Jr.’s Open Wheel Showdown has confirmed a return to the Bullring
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, bringing the definitive pavement open wheel
event to the .375-mile oval November 5-7, 2026. The highest paying weekend
on asphalt continues with $50,000 on the line for the Winged Sprint Cars.
The Larry Trigueiro Memorial for Super Modifieds will pay a record $10,000
to win. Open Wheel Modifieds return for their third appearance at the
Showdown and will also race for $10,000 to win.
Legends and Bandoleros return in 2026 for the next
generation of pavement open wheel competitors. Additional programming
announcements will be made in the coming months. New for 2026 is the
addition of heat races for the Legends and a pole shuffle for both the
Legends and Modifieds. The expanded Friday lineup will see the Winged Sprint
Cars, Modifieds, and Legends all participating in the same event format.
Saturday’s program includes features for all five divisions.
Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. won his second consecutive
100-lap Winged Sprint Car feature in 2025 against a nearly 50-car turnout.
Bobby Santos earned his third consecutive podium as well.
Driver registrations, hotel registrations, and RV bookings
will open in January at www.OpenWheelShowdown.com Division and event
sponsorship details will also be announced throughout 2026.
“I am excited to keep Open Wheel Showdown growing and
staying at Las Vegas,” Promoter Davey Hamilton, Jr. said. “The LVMS team is
really getting behind the event in a big way and I see a lot of great years
with them. We have some great partners returning along with a lot of
upcoming news that I can’t wait to share with everyone.”
Open Wheel Showdown experienced over three million social
media impressions across its own pages, along with significant coverage from
Speed Sport and its broadcast channels Speed Sport 1 and Speed Sport 2. Open
Wheel Showdown sponsors, competitors, and fans contributed to even more
excitement and visibility for the sport through their posts and engagement
as well. The efforts culminated with the largest Saturday crowd among the
three editions of the event in 2025.
Additionally, pavement Sprint Car racing will likely
experience a dozen races with five figure paydays in 2026. When the Open
Wheel Showdown kicked off in 2023, as few as two events in the country
carried awards of that caliber.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Davey Hamilton, Jr. He’s
quickly become one of the most dynamic young race promoters in the country,”
said Patrick Lindsey, General Manager of Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “In just
three years, the Open Wheel Showdown, powered by an impressive purse, has
exploded into a must-see event for asphalt sprint car racers nationwide. The
Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway has continued to be the perfect home
for this showcase, and we’re excited to keep building on this momentum for
years to come.”
Speed Sport returns as the Open Wheel Showdown media partner
with live coverage of the entire weekend.

First up, 40th Annual Chili Bowl Nationals
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (December 11, 2025) – Spire Motorsports is “all in” for 2026.

Celebrated crew chief Eric Prutzman, who won six consecutive national championships with driver Brad Sweet, has joined Spire Motorsports and will lead the team’s efforts during the upcoming season.
Scelzi, 24, is the son of former NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car champion Gary Scelzi and the 2023 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year. On the national stage, the Fresno, Calif., native has collected 12 wins, 88 top-five, and 232 top-10 finishes.
Prior to the 2026 High Limit season opener, the California racer will compete in the 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Okla., in a Spire Motorsports’ Chili’s-sponsored entry prepared by legendary midget car owner Keith Kunz.
“Going on the road with High Limit is like a dream come true and to do this with people I have deep respect and appreciation for makes it even better,” said Spire Motorsports Co-Owner Jeff Dickerson. “We’ve worked with and for Kyle (Larson), Brad (Sweet), Kendra (Jacobs) and JP (Josh Peterman) for years and I have an immense amount of gratitude to them for not only building a great series but for making a series that offers long-term growth to all of us in a sport we all love. I’m thankful to Tim Clauson and the Marshalls for providing us a launch pad to make this jump and look forward to working closely this season.
“We are not a NASCAR team that is going dirt racing. We are dirt racers who happen to have a NASCAR team. This is in our blood and we can’t wait to get to Vegas in March.”
Spire Motorsports’ High Limit team will carry a High Roller Club membership card when the season opens with the Blackjack Bash March 12 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The team completed the purchase of High Limit Racing’s “9 Card” from Jason Myers Racing, following the 2025 season finale at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.
The High Roller Club, which focuses on creating a sustainable business model for race teams, will distribute up to $18 million in total value over the next four years. Membership cards grant permanent, long-term participation rights designed to drive alignment between Kubota High Limit Racing and its team owners, while guaranteeing annual payouts and providing stability for those in possession.
In 2018, Scelzi became the youngest winner in World of Outlaws history at 16-years-old, claiming victory in the prestigious National Open at Williams Grove (Pa.) Speedway. One year later, he added another milestone to his resume when he became the youngest winner in Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway history with an All-Star Circuit of Champions victory.
He dabbled in pavement racing to further build his resume and won in his first-ever start in a spec late model at Southern California’s Irwindale Speedway. In 2020, he competed in 11 ARCA Menards Series West races where he earned seven top-five and nine top-10 finishes, including a win at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.
Over the next two seasons, Scelzi shifted his focus back to his open-wheel roots, racing with both the World of Outlaws and the All Star Circuit of Champions where he combined for seven poles, three wins, 32 top fives and 87 top 10s.
The 2023 season saw him competing full time with the World of Outlaws, where he posted three poles, one win, 18 top-five and 48 top-10 finishes with his impressive freshman campaign earning him Rookie of the Year honors. The following season, he captured four wins, including a Knoxville Nationals preliminary victory, to compliment 23 top fives and 53 top 10s.
“To see the enthusiasm from the employees at Spire Motorsports, that’s really something that made an impact on me,” said Scelzi, who began his racing career at six-years-old, competing in Jr. Micro Sprints in the central California area. “The NASCAR stuff is their job but it’s pretty obvious they enjoy sprint car racing. We’ll likely run 80 to 90 times a year at probably 50 different race tracks, but when you have an owner like Jeff (Dickerson) who truly loves sprint car racing and comes from that background, it really makes this an exciting opportunity.
“I’ve known Eric (Prutzman) for a long time. When I was probably 10- or 12-years-old, when Donny Schatz was driving for Tony Stewart Racing, those guys would work out of my dad’s shop during that three-week West Coast swing and Eric was the tire guy at the time, so we became friends and stayed in touch. I’ve watched Eric’s career and he’s had amazing success. The guys who run up front all have really good equipment so, now more than ever, it’s the people. Having someone as accomplished as Eric is just as important as the equipment.”
In 2025, Scelzi parted ways with KCP Racing mid-season following a four-plus-year run and finished the season in the No. 7BC for Clauson Marshall Racing as a substitute for the injured Tyler Courtney.
With nearly 400 entries expected for this year’s Chili Bowl, it’s no wonder only a select handful – 24 to be exact – have the opportunity to compete for the storied “Golden Driller” trophy. Scelzi raced his way into the A-Main in 2018, where he started 16th but was sidelined early in the 55-lap feature, and ultimately credited with a 24th-place finish.
He is the youngest winner in Tulsa Shootout history, the precursor to the Chili Bowl Nationals, where he won the 2015 Winged A-Class feature.
“I’m thrilled to race the Chili Bowl, again,” said Scelzi. “I’ve run it three times in the past. I ran for Clauson Marshall Racing my first time and made the show. The two years after that, I was there with Chad Boat Racing. To race a car prepared by Keith Kunz at the Chili Bowl is a dream come true. They’ve won prelim after prelim and Saturday after Saturday. The Chili Bowl is an event where being lucky is just as important as having a fast race car and putting yourself in position to win a race. I’m really looking forward to getting back there. I’m really grateful to Jeff, Keith and the whole team at Chili’s for the opportunity.”

“Following the recent news of Brad’s retirement from the world of Sprintcar racing as a full-time driver, he has committed to a small schedule, but those four nights are going to be an opportunity to see Brad in action around one of the world’s best tracks in the Perth Motorplex.”
With less than a month to go before Brad and his family lands in Australia, the Landrigan Motorsports team is currently hard at work preparing the USA # 49 Landrigan Motorsports Maxim. For this Australian trip, Brad will be bringing with him Joe Mooney to pit crew. Mooney is the crew chief for the Macri Motorsports team over in America.

DREAM COME TRUE: Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports to chase World
of Outlaws Rookie of the Year honors in 2026
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 10, 2025
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (December 10, 2025) – It has been Scotty Thiel’s lifelong dream to hit the road with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, and now the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native and former IRA Outlaw Sprint Series champion will finally get his chance, setting aim on a full-on Rookie of the Year campaign in 2026, all while at the helm of Greg Wheeler’s No. 16C.
“This has been a goal of mine since day one and to say that it’s all finally come together is just an incredible feeling,” Thiel was quick to note. “Greg [Wheeler] and I just started talking one day…ended up bouncing some ideas off of one another and things just kinda aligned. The partnerships all came together at the right time and we were able to put this idea into motion. We still have a few details and a few partnerships to button up, but the wheels are turning and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
Although new to the Greatest Show On Dirt, the “Big Wheel” is far from new to the travel game, spending numerous summers chasing the IRA schedule across Wisconsin and Illinois, all before becoming a regular fixture with the All Star Circuit of Champions. Even since his All Star travel days, Thiel has been criss-crossing much of the Midwest, chasing the region’s biggest money opportunities and open wheel honors – many Outlaws sanctioned.
“The plan is to base our operation out of my shop in Sheboygan while still utilizing Greg Wheeler’s shop in Columbia City, Indiana. Having two locations will make the travel and all other logistics much more manageable,” Thiel continued. “Greg’s passion for the sport and desire to race mirrors the same energy I have. It’s truly a great match and I’m excited for our potential. We’re both ready to take on the challenge and finally compete as full-time Outlaws.”
Scotty Thiel and Greg Wheeler Motorsports will begin their 2026 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year campaign with a four-night slate at Volusia Speedway Park in DeLeon Springs, Florida, on February 4-7. To learn more about the Series, visit the World of Outlaws online at www.woosprint.com.

Tony Jackson Closes Storybook Farewell Season with Scott
Hess Racing; Team Posts 15 Wins and Captures Two Wingless Championships
Newville, PA – December 10, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing put the exclamation point on a remarkable season in 2025, competing in 37 events across both the winged and wingless Sportsman divisions and delivering a results sheet that read like a highlight reel: 15 victories, 8 runner-up finishes, four third-place runs, one fourth, and three fifth-place finishes.
Even more telling than the trophies was the week-to-week consistency. The team never finished outside the top five unless sidelined by mechanical failure or an on-track accident, a testament to preparation, execution, and the steady partnership between driver and team.
“It was like a dream year. It kind of stings a little bit to walk away after a year like that, but we’ll embrace what we did and see where things go from here,” said Jackson.
The season’s momentum culminated in two championships, with Jackson and Hess securing the Wingless Championship at Path Valley Speedway and the Hess Ornamental Iron Wingless Tour Championship as well—an unforgettable pair of titles that perfectly framed a year that began with major news.
Prior to the season, Jackson announced that 2025 would be his final year before stepping away into retirement, adding extra meaning to every victory lane photo, podium celebration, and championship moment.
“Knowing this was my last full season made every race count a little more,” Jackson added. “To be able to finish it like this—with wins, with championships, and with the people who’ve meant so much to me—this is the kind of ending you dream about.”
Now, with the season complete, Jackson looks back on his career with gratitude and pride, excited for what’s next while reflecting fondly on his time behind the wheel.
“Racing has given me memories I’ll carry forever, and to say I was part of the history of the Sportsman division is pretty darn special,” Jackson said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished, and I’m thankful for everyone who supported me—my family, my crew, and every fan who cheered us on. I’m excited for the next chapter, but I’ll always be grateful for this one.”
For team owner Scott Hess, the offseason is already taking shape. Plans are currently being assembled to place a new driver in the seat for the 2026 season, but Hess emphasized that moving on from Jackson doesn’t close the door on the partnership.
“Tony’s retirement is bittersweet for all of us,” Hess said. “You don’t replace a driver like that—you build the next chapter and appreciate what you had. And I’ll say this: there will always be a seat warm for Tony here. If he ever gets the itch to race again, we’ll be ready.”
“The expectations were to always win some races and have fun racing, but Tony not only exceeded the expectations, but he set a precedent that will be hard to match going forward. I didn’t even know Tony when we started racing, and through racing we’ve built quite a relationship, but now we’re pretty much family, and I can’t thank him enough.”
Scott Hess Racing will announce additional 2026 plans—including driver and schedule details—at a later date.

DOWN UNDER UPDATE: Mechanical woes end a great night for Zearfoss at
Perth
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 8, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (December 8, 2025) – Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport launched their 2025/2026 Australian campaign in a big way, and although a mechanical woe ended their night short of the finish, with seven laps remaining to be exact, their statistics leading to that point were borderline perfect. In fact, Zearfoss was battling for a feature podium at the time his powerplant expired, igniting his evening with the second-fastest qualifying time, racing on to a heat race victory followed by another heat race runner-up result.
“We were so good up until that point, but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. We’ll shake it off and move forward,” Zearfoss, ace of the Goldstar Transport, Fennell Tyres, Blue Water Shipping, Velocity Truck Centers, No. W95, said. “Hats off to this entire S&D Motorsport team. They are the real deal. They gave me an incredible car all night at Perth. We have a great baseline and I’m confident we’ll pick up right where we left off later this month.”
Brock Zearfoss and S&D Motorsport will continue their tour of Down Under with a return visit to Perth Motorplex in Kwinana Beach, Western Australia, on Friday, December 26.

NEW BEGINNING: Donny Schatz to pilot CJB Motorsports No.
15 entry for 2026 World of Outlaws campaign
ByTyler Altmeyer
December 8, 2025
CARLISLE, Pa. (December 8, 2025) – It is never too late for a new beginning, and for ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Champion Donny Schatz, that time is now, set to chase an 11th championship with the Greatest Show On Dirt aboard Chad and Ann Marie Clemens’ CJB Motorsports No. 15.
“These are exciting times at CJB Motorsports,” Chad Clemens was quick to note. “Donny [Schatz] is one of the best to ever sit in a sprint car and to have him join the CJB Motorsports family is incredibly special. He is not only a talented and accomplished driver, but he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. We have a lot of work to do, but we’ll be ready for 2026. We’ll see everyone in Florida.”
Schatz, who has been a staple on the World of Outlaws campaign trail for three decades, will join forces with legendary Crew Chief and Pennsylvania native, Barry Jackson, ready to ignite their title chase with a four-night slate at Volusia Speedway Park in DeLeon Springs, Florida, on February 4-7. The Series will return to the Sunshine State staple nearly a month later for the annual Bike Week Jamboree.
“Truly grateful for this opportunity. Chad, Ann Marie, the entire Clemens Family, Barry Jackson, and everyone else at CJB Motorsports have been working their tails off in putting this program together and we’re excited to get started,” Donny Schatz said. “The World of Outlaws is where I cut my teeth…it’s where I belong. I’m as confident as I have ever been heading into 2026 and I know we’ll have the tools, knowledge and experience to be successful.”
More news and updates pertaining to the team’s crew and partners will be released in the coming days. Fans are encouraged to keep up with everything CJB Motorsports online at https://cjbmotorsports.net/, or on social media via FACEBOOK, X, and INSTAGRAM.
ALLEN CO. WAR MEMORIAL COLISEUM EXPO CONVERTS TO A RACE
TRACK
Annual Rumble in Fort Wayne presents indoor racing with same amenities as
structure as outdoors
FORT WAYNE, IN (Dec. 8) – Converting the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Exposition Center (ACWMC) from four walls and a bare floor into an indoor racing facility with a 1/7-mile concrete oval is no easy task. Once a year, the ACWMC staff teams up with the crew from the Rumble in Fort Wayne to methodically accomplish the transition. This year, that transformation will take place Wednesday, December 17 in anticipation of the two-days of racing, December 19 and 20.
It begins with the placement of 5000 temporary seats, followed immediately by the onset of track construction. Highway jersey barriers, weighing over 3000 pounds each, are linked together to shape the outside safety fencing. While the barriers are being aligned, fence posts are snugly inserted; from which three bands of cables are attached. The final steps include attaching and securing chain link fencing.
For competitor safety, temporary ‘safe walls’, consisting of conveyor belting laced plywood over tires, are ratcheted to the jersey barriers at the exit of each turn. Additionally, fire-retardant sprayed straw bales are bagged and placed at critical impact points at each end of the oval.
A safety light system is erected, the flag stand is placed and sponsor banners hung.
The final step, conducted on race day, is the track surface preparation. Soda pop syrup is sprayed on to the concrete flooring and slowly ‘run in’ by vehicles for uniformity and consistency.
At that point, the ACWMC becomes a racetrack, with all of the same amenities and conditions of outdoor racing, but inside a climate-controlled building in mid-Winter.
On the racing menu for the Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales sponsored Rumble in Fort Wayne each day, with complete racing programs of preliminary heats and main events, will be Midgets, winged and non-winged 600cc Midgets plus multiple classes of Go-Karts, Wedge Karts and Quarter Midgets.

ZACH SOBOTKA CROWNED 2025 CRSA SPRINTS CHAMPION AT AWARDS
BANQUET
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – December 7, 2025
VERNON, N.Y. – The move from Sportsman modifieds to 305 Sprint Cars paid off for Zach Sobotka as he was officially crowned A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints champion Saturday night at Vernon Downs Casino Hotel.
In his first year of CRSA competition, the driver of the No. 38 recorded five wins in 2025, in addition to a record 19 top fives and 20 top 10s. Sobotka also claimed the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge and became the first Insinger Performance Rookie of the Year to become champion since John Virgilio in 2011.
"I ran Sportsman for 10-11 years and always wanted to run sprint cars,” Sobotka said in his speech. “It was a lot of fun this year switching over to run the 305. It was a blast with everybody here. We definitely couldn’t have done it without Steve Stirling and Maxima Racing Oils. He’s been with us for five years. My dad, my grandfather, my girlfriend Kayla selling shirts every weekend and everyone else at our table. They do it all for us, they’re the people that keep us racing."
Sobotka scored his first two wins consecutively at Utica-Rome and Fulton, proving he was the man to beat once the calendar hit the summer stretch. But once the season hit July, Dillon Paddock nailed a stretch of podium finishes to close the lead and battle for the championship.
Race after race, they would battle for victories and for the championship. From July 4 to Oct. 18, they won eight of the 14 A-Mains combined. Sobotka scored wins at Woodhull, Brewerton and Land of Legends. In contrast, Paddock won at Ransomville twice, Albany-Saratoga, Weedsport and Outlaw.
In the final race paying full points at Weedsport Sept. 28, all Sobotka needed was a 13th-place finish or better to clinch. While Paddock won, Sobotka finished second in the end, enough to clinch his first championship.
“It was the best year we could have hoped for racing with Dillon every race and battle with him,” said Sobotka.
Sobotka also won the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge Championship.
In recognition of the team's success in 2025, crew chief Mike Sobotka Jr. was also named Mechanic of the Year. For gaining 97 spots this season, Zach also won the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger award.
In addition, Sobotka received the Evan Canfield Memorial Best Appearing Car award, named in honor of the late CRSA photographer.
In a record $25,445 point fund, Sobotka took home the lion’s share with $3,500. In addition, the No. 38 earned $14,310 in race earnings, along with other miniseries points in 2025. 22 drivers took home points money thanks to the miniseries in the 2025 season sponsored by many marketing partners.
Despite coming oh so close to snatching the championship, Dillon Paddock has a lot to be proud of. Leading the series in wins with six, the No. 8 racked off a streak of seven straight top fives from a third at Land of Legends July 3, to a win at Albany-Saratoga Aug. 15.
Paddock showed numerous highlight reel moments that fit with his “Show Stopper” nickname, from restarting eighth to first in the win at Albany-Saratoga, a photo finish over Zach Sobotka at Weedsport and close-quarters defending in the $4000-to-win season finale at Outlaw.
"A great year compared to our first two years wrecking a lot," said Paddock. "We wanted to win the championship, but we got to congratulate Zach and the entire No. 38 team. They had an incredible first year in sprint cars. I got to thank everyone at these two tables, especially Charlie and Blake, with me night in and night out.
Paddock also won the Award for Sportsmanship for showing respect to everyone in CRSA, along with racing clean with Sobotka at the end of the year.
The Mike Emhof Motorsports Service Award went to CRSA Assistant Race Director Nick Fultz. Fultz has played a vital role throughout his time in CRSA, stepping in when promoter Mike Emhof is unable to and being responsible for passing points and series points, plus MyRacePass, whether in the tower, in the command center, or remotely.
Spencer Burley went from relief driver for Steve Glover last season in weekly competition to full-time in CRSA action in a second Glover Racing ride. “The Motocross Kid” scored his first series podium at Fulton in June and then won his first career CRSA feature in a Twin 20 at Woodhull on night one of the New York 305 Nationals. For his performance, Burley won Outstanding Newcomer.
After a CRSA victory at Land of Legends that shocked the sprint car region, Matt Rotz made the move from weekly action to full-time series competition. “The Hopewell Hot Shoe” made 12 features but was unable to finish in the top 10, giving the No. 77 the Tough Luck Award.
Blake Warner was the first to miss the full points fund, moving from a full-time season to an 11-start year, recording four top 10s and a best finish of eighth.
Bailey Boyd made the move up from 600cc Modifieds to 305 Sprint Cars this season. It was a tough start to the year, but showed up at Ransomville, recording a pair of top fives including a second-place run, eventually leading Boyd to finish 10th in points. The No. 3 was awarded Most Improved Driver.
A couple of years ago, a workplace injury left Darryl Ruggles' racing career unknown. The last two years saw "The Motorized Madman" step back to weekly racing at his home track, Land of Legends, where he is a wall of famer. This season, Ruggles returned to full-time series with not just an excellent opportunity to partner with the series, but also to race again alongside daughter Alysha and travel weekends with her family. Despite some wild rides this year, Ruggles returned to the podium in June at Utica-Rome, earning the Perseverance Award.
For the second year in a row, the CRSA Dedication Award went to more than one individual. The Sehn family, under the Maddog Motorsports banner, continues to attend races regardless of their performance in a race or a season. The father/son combo of Jerry Sehn Jr. and Dustin Sehn races and crews together.
The final special award was the Elab Smokers Boutique Dash Series Champion, going to the driver with the most success in the Scramble Dash races. Hutton took the accolades as the Dash Champion.
The Vendor Rewards Product Giveaway Program returned for 2025, offering over $10,000 in prizes. The top prize was a Magsaurus Magneto, new, Complete Vertex Magneto, valued at $1,749. All drivers in attendance had their name placed on a wheel for the Mag and as the wheel landed on a driver's name, they were eliminated. Scott Landers was the last man standing and took home the top prize.
In closing the banquet, Emhof informed drivers and teams in attendance that an exciting schedule is in the works for season No. 21 in 2026. Several tracks that hosted CRSA in 2025 have re-upped for 2026. More to be announced in the offseason.
STATS FROM 2025: A series record 48 drivers checked into Weedsport May 25, beating out 42 that was set by “The Port” the year before.
More tracks hosted the CRSA Sprints in 2024 than in any other season, with 13.
Jeff Trombley broke the all-time record for feature wins with 18 after scoring victories at Outlaw and Land of Legends. In addition, the veteran tied Josh Pieniazek for most top fives with 63 and has won at the most tracks with nine.
Jordan Hutton has tied Mike Kiser for consecutive seasons with at least one win after scoring a victory at Outlaw in August.
Woodhull has staged 12 races without a single repeat winner.
Five drivers scored their first career CRSA victory: Johnny Smith, Zach Sobotka, Mikey Smith, Spencer Burley and Scott Landers.
Paulie Colagiovanni, Burley, Bailey Boyd, Lance Dusett, Kyle Drum, Nolan Groves and Davie Franek scored their maiden top-five this season.
Thanks to Tom Skibinski, CRSA's statistician since 2006, for compiling these nuggets.
The CRSA Sprints are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025 and are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers.

DUTTON SAFER FENCING NAMED PRESENTING SPONSOR OF CHAMPIONS CELEBRATION
December 3, 2025 - Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com today announced Dutton Safer Fencing as one of its presenting sponsors of the upcoming 2025 Champions Awards Celebration January 10, 2026.
Dutton Safer Fencing joins Bull Dog Safety & Performance, P-1 Chassis, TTI Machine, and United Blower Inc. as additional presenting sponsors of this event.
Dutton Safer Fencing is the leader in racetrack safety features that include SAFER Barrier and outside retaining wall catch fencing. Dutton Safer Fencing projects can be found at historic American ovals at Daytona, Talladega, Iowa, Michigan, and Kansas speedways among many others.
Company CEO James Dutton, who is known as “JJ” to close friends and family, also spends a substantial amount of time behind the wheel of a winged pavement sprint car during the racing season. He finished eight in the final 2025 MSR National Series point standings.
Dutton’ s name can be found on numerous cars, tracks, and series throughout the racing season. The Lutz, Florida resident has a soft spot in his heart for his fellow racers.
“I used to be that guy who ran on peoples take offs” recalls Dutton. “I just done a little better in my life as I got older. I love sprint car racing, and I love to see people go forward and get better. That’s kinda why I help people out.
“I used to be that guy who used to struggle when I was younger. I used to live paycheck to paycheck and didn’t know if I’d be able to race. I had to work two jobs to spend every dollar I could on racing. I’m now able to be able to occasionally help somebody out who might need a hand.
“Anything that has my name on it at the racetrack helps my business. My business revolves around racetracks. Catch fence, SAFER Barrier, and safety at the track. I’ve actually got a couple of jobs from my name being at the racetrack. So, not only am I helping racers, but it also helps my business. Its worked out and goes hand-in-hand.”
Dutton had a memorable racing season of his own that might be better entitled “Dutton’s World Tour”. He competed in nearly ever inch of the country and even raced on Vancouver Island in Canada in August.
The highlight of his season was his final start in October in Pinellas Park, Florida. Dutton went from seventh to first on lap one. He led most of the race before fading late in the race with mechanical gremlins. Most Dutton’s racing was with MSR this past season.
“I like Must See Racing. Jim (Hanks) has his act together. I wanted to help him out with the Champions Awards Celebration. I enjoy the different racetracks that are on the schedule. Now that I’ve got experience at these tracks, its gonna make it easier on me when we go back to them next season.” concluded Dutton.
The 2025 Champions Awards Celebration will be streamed live January 10, 2026, on Racing America.TV.

SMALL(er) TRACK ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED BY PRI T.O.P.S. HQ PANEL
Finding, Discussing and Adding Available Resources Among Topics
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (Dec. 2) – Discussing the position and role of small(er) facilities, and the issues they face in today’s motorsports world, will be addressed as part of this year’s T.O.P.S. HQ (Track Operators, Promoters & Sanctioning Bodies Headquarters) learning sessions at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) in Indianapolis.
To be moderated by Larry Boos (Rumble in Fort Wayne), on Friday, December 12 at 1:30 p.m., the assembled panel will tackle the mislabeled word small, in reference to a facility’s ability to position themselves in the motorsports industry. “Every operation has a piece and stake in the motorsports puzzle, regardless of size; it’s just a matter of discussing options,” commented Boos.
Panel members Kolten Gouse (BAPS Motor Speedway), A.J. Moore (Lake Erie Speedway), Jonathan Eckelberg (High School Racing Association) and Steve Sinclair (IRA Sprints, K & K Insurance) will offer insight into the subject matter and field questions from the attendees.
Per Gouse, “there is value in conversation; through it we can learn how small venues, with just a little tweaking, can recognize revenue from multiple areas.” Moore confirmed that statement with, “you get ideas from listening to your peers. We can chat about how to transform your venue into a true multi-use destination, expanding beyond traditional motorsports to unlock new events, audiences, and revenue streams.”
Within the discussion will be the topic of demographics. Eckelberg noted that “racetracks around the country must actively attract younger generations to sustain our sport. This is something that our organization is doing and I look forward to sharing that concept.”
Sinclair, a seasoned veteran of the sport, summed up the new panel with, “sharing ideas and discussing issues is vital to our survival, particularly to venues with limited resources. Getting us together to talk about them is the start and this is a good one.”
The “Making Small(er) Tracks Great Again” session is open at no charge to all track operators attending PRI, regardless of their operation’s surface, size or configuration. Since its inception in 1986, Performance Racing Industry (PRI) has served as the motorsports industry's key source for trends, merchandising ideas, new products, business strategies, and more. The Indianapolis Convention Center will host this year’s conclave December 11-13.

ROBINSON FAB WORX POSTS RUMBLE SENIOR CHAMP BONUS
$100 up for grabs nightly to highest M.A.C.K.S./BBSS finisher
FORT WAYNE, IN (December 2, 2025) –Experimentation is taking place in the Senior Champ go-kart division at this year’s Rumble in Fort Wayne, and it has caught the eye of Brownville, Indiana’s Colby Robinson of Robinson Fab Worx.
The class specifications for the class have been modified to allow competitors from the Midwest Asphalt Champ Kart Series (M.A.C.K.S.) and the Buckeye Buggy Super Series (BBSS) to participate in the once-a-year indoor race inside the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Dec. 19 and 20. The adaptation will allow the two series to enter with their established rules package which varies from past Rumble specs.
“Something successful business owners do is experiment and not fear trying to do something new,” commented Robinson, who began his fabrication business in 2017. “And with this new experiment of combining rules packages, we are encouraging M.A.C.K.S. and BBSS racers to give it a shot.”
To that extent, Robinson, a racer himself, is offering a $100 nightly bonus to the highest finishing M.A.C.K.S./BBSS contender in the main event. “I know that a lot of thought has been put into this concept and the only way we will know how it will work, is give it a try and I look forward to seeing the outcome.”
Two full days of racing are on tap for the annual once-a-year indoor racing program. Joining the Senior Champ karts each day for full competition will be multiple other Economy Auto Parts/Coe Heating & Air Conditioning kart classes, full-sized Midgets, LiUNA non-winged 600cc Midgets, North Baltimore Custom Cuts winged 600cc Midgets, six divisions of BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets, and Cobra Racing Tires/Wedge Innovation Wedge Karts.

Dover Highlights Season by Extending Winning Streak and Capturing Championship
Inside Line Promotions
Shawn@InsideLinePromotions.com | (541) 510-3663
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Dec. 1, 2025) – Jack Dover powered to a pair of feature victories to extend his streak of winning seasons to 21 in a row.
“Overall, I would call it an above-average season,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “Everybody always wishes it was better, but considering 410 racing is the best it’s ever been and we won two races, I’m pleased with that. Two wins doesn’t sound like a lot, but there’s hundreds of racers out there who wish they had one win. It’s getting harder each year.
“It was one of the more fun years I’ve had in racing. We got to race with some of the best racers out there and at the top level in 410s. Nowadays you have to be on top of your game as far as setup, tires, wings. It’s a challenge every night. You can’t just go out there, throw something together and get a top five. The most fun thing is probably the challenge.”
Dover’s two victories were during Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars competition. That ranked second best in the series, which he also led with 11 top fives and 12 top 10s en route to winning the championship. Dover became the first driver in MSTS history to capture both the 410 and 360 championships.
“I think it’s pretty cool,” he said. “I think I won a couple of 360 championships so to be able to get the 410 championship is cool. Also, I haven’t done much 410 racing in my career and the last two years I ran a total of like 25 races as I was helping Timmy (Estenson). It’s pretty awesome to come out with a championship this year.”
Additionally, Dover garnered the MSTS King of the Wings title and he finished fifth in the championship standings at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.
Another astounding statistic from the season is that Dover officially gained 161 positions during A Mains this season. In fact, he passed seven or more cars a whopping 13 times, moved forward double-digit positions four times and charged a season-best 14 spots during two different races.
“Something that really stands out for the season is all of the Hard Charger Awards we earned as well as finishing the season with more than 160 cars passed in the A Mains,” he said. “We weren’t as good in qualifying, but we were very good in the features. For us to pass that many cars and get that many Hard Chargers is pretty respectable.”
Also of note, Dover ended the season with seven top-10 finishes in a row and he recorded his career-best Short Track Nationals result; his best Knoxville Nationals result since 2021; his best 360 Knoxville Nationals result since 2018; his best 410 result at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, since 2014; and his best World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series result since 2014.
“I want to thank Tim Estenson and everyone who backed the team for their support this year,” Dover said. “I think with what we learned throughout the year, specifically toward the end of the season after we made some changes, if we started the season right now we’d win a lot more races and take even a bigger step forward.”
SEASON STATS –
51 races, 2 wins, 17 top fives, 28 top 10s, 33 top 15s, 37 top 20s

Eastern Motorsport Press Association Hall of Fame Inductees and Award Winners Announced…Kenny Bernstein, Frank Cozze, Rick Ferkel, Jan Leaty, Paul Page, and Steve Smith, Jr. to HoF; Austin Beers and Anthony Macri are Northeast Drivers of the Year
(HAZLE TOWNSHIP, PA 12-1-25) The Eastern Motorsport Press Association (EMPA) is proud to announce the class of 2026 entering its prestigious Hall of Fame. This announcement comes in advance of the 53rd EMPA Convention, taking place from January 16-18, at the Holiday Inn in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Members of EMPA, professionals in motorsports media, voted to induct those selected for entry into the Hall of Fame. They also voted for winners of several other awards affiliated with the organization.
The EMPA Hall of Fame inductees for 2026 represent various forms of racing. Kenny Bernstein represents the NHRA. Nicknamed both the “Bud King” and “The King of Speed”, he left his mark as a Funny Car drag racer. The first drag racer to break 300 miles per hour on a standing-start quarter mile dragstrip, Bernstein also owned King Racing, and he fielded cars in both NASCAR and IndyCar over the years. Bernstein was previously inducted into both the NHRA Hall of Fame and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
Frank Cozze has transcended the decades, beginning in the 1970’s and he is still competitive, capable of winning any race he enters. A winner in dirt Modifieds up and down the east coast, in 2008 he captured the crown jewel when he won at Super Dirt Week at the Syracuse Mile. Cozze promoted special events at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, and he and his family ran Nazareth Speedway through its final year.
The late Rick Ferkel was nicknamed “The Buckeye Traveler” as the Ohio native chased big events and was an early star when the World of Outlaws Sprint series began. One of the winningest Sprint Car drivers (250+ wins), he also spent many years as an official, crew chief for Doug Kalitta’s USCA Sprint Car team, and as a team owner. In the 1970’s, he regularly had 30+ wins, earning a career-high 38 race victories in 1978.
Jan Leaty’s asphalt racing career began in a Street Stock in 1978. He moved to a Late Model and won his first title in 1981. His career rocketed skyward when he jumped up to the Modified division. The Williamson, NY hot shoe won 9 times on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and has 18 wins on the RoC Tour, along with countless wins during weekly action at several tracks. Leaty won the prestigious Race of Champions at Pocono Raceway and had wins at North Wilkesboro, New Hampshire, and Nazareth Speedways. Jan has already been inducted into the Oswego Speedway, FOAR Score Racing Club and Race of Champions Halls of Fame.
“The Voice of the 500”, Paul Page has worldwide recognition, whether on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Radio Network or on ABC-TV broadcasts of the Indy 500. For 25 years he was part of ABC and ESPN coverage of IndyCar, NHRA, NASCAR, the X Games, the Olympics, and even the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. His co-hosting duties with Bobby Unser and Sam Posey, begun in 1988, were both entertaining and popular ‘500” broadcasts. Page returned to the IMS Radio Network in 2014-2015 as the “Voice of the 500” and he then co-hosted the 100th Indianapolis 500 broadcast in 2016.
Steve Smith, Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps throughout his 31-year career in Sprint Car racing. He won 222 features, with 84 of them on the WoO Series. His highlights include Port Royal’s Tuscarora 50, Williams Grove’s National Open (3 times), the Grove’s Mitch Smith Memorial (3 times), the ’94 Gold Cup at silver Dollar Speedway, and the ’05 Brad Doty Classic. In 2015 he won the PA Sprint Speedweek title and earned 15 wins there over the years. In 2015 Smith won the Ohio Sprint Speedweek title. Smith was inducted in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and now joins his father in the EMPA Hall of Fame.
The EMPA/Richie Evans Memorial Northeast Driver of the Year goes annually to both an asphalt and a dirt racer. By member vote, both of this year’s winners hail from Pennsylvania. For the second consecutive year the asphalt honoree won the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship. Austin Beers, a former EMPA Young Gun award winner, became the youngest Tour champion in their history. On the dirt side Anthony Macri won the PA Speedweek title, and he picked up $200,000 for winning the Kings Royal at Eldora. Those highlight many of his big achievements in 2025.
EMPA’s Al Holbert Memorial National Driver of the Year was left open for members to write in the driver he or she felt had put together the most award-worthy season. Thirteen racers earned votes, but it was Kyle Larson who is receiving this prestigious award for the fourth time.
The 2025 EMPA/John Blewett III Young Gun award, presented by New England Race Fuels, will go home with 20-year-old dirt Modified racer Alex Payne. Payne finished the season with eight wins, 47 top five and 59 top 10 finishes in 77 total starts.
Halmar/Friesen Racing has won the 2025 EMPA/Chris Economaki Memorial Newsmaker of the Year Award. Team co-owner Stewart Friesen had a great season underway until he sustained severe injuries in a vicious racing incident. The team rebounded putting Kayden Honeycutt in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck and Alex Yankowski in the Modified. Both drivers did their part to end on solid footing while Friesen continued to recover from his injuries.
Rex Merritt is the recipient of the 2025 EMPA/Junie Dunlavey Memorial Spirit of the Sport Award. His career in IMCA Modifieds dates back to what was a new concept in 1979. The winner on both dirt and asphalt hundreds of times, his sweetest win of all came when he won the A-Modified title at Lucas Oil Speedway the same year his granddaughter won the B-Modified crown. His four decades of racing clearly demonstrated his passion for the sport.
Kolten Gouse from BAPS Motor Speedway will accept a pair of awards. His versatility in racetrack promotions earned him the 2025 EMPA Promotional Effort of the Year. In 2025 he held a $5 admission to a 410 Spring Car show, a Halloween Tour with race cars throughout several nearby towns, a special media day event, a “Photo of the Day” promotion, a tribute to engine builders, and he held a fundraiser that resulted in $10,000 for area police officers killed or injured in the line of duty. Gouse will also receive the Jerry Riegle Contribution to Sprint Car Racing Award, determined and presented annually by World Racing Group.
Elections also took place for the EMPA Board of Directors. Current President Dino Oberto retained his seat, while Matt Mallett will join the Board. Both are for three-year terms.
During the formal awards dinner presentations, the organization will also recognize many of their own including the 2025 EMPA/Jim Hunter Memorial Writer of the Year and the 2025 EMPA/Ace Lane Sr. Memorial Photographer of the Year. Many members will also accept honors for work they submitted in the 2025 EMPA/Pocono Raceway Writers Contest and the 2025 EMPA/Bill Brice Photo Contest.
The annual convention begins with a Friday evening “Salute to the Champions” where local and regional driving titlists have a meet and greet with the press and enjoy socializing after interviews. Saturday consists of press conferences, workshops and guest speakers. Dave Moody, known for his work on the Motor Racing Network and for years of announcing at countless racetracks, is this year’s keynote speaker on Saturday. The convention culminates with the evening’s Hall of Fame dinner and awards ceremony.
Founded in 1969, the Eastern Motorsport Press Association is an organization of professional writers, broadcasters, announcers, videographers, and photographers working in the motorsports industry. It also includes associate and corporate members Dover Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Bill Brice, Wanick Construction, The Wire Guys, New England Race Fuels, Evergreen Raceway, Grandview Speedway, Big Diamond Speedway, Elite Custom Awards, Speedway Illustrated, World Racing Group, Himmer Graphics and Snyder Web Design, who are among the supporters of the organization.

Mallett Refreshed After Unique Year and Eager to Return to Racing in 2026
Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (Dec. 1, 2025) – Perspective is a good word to describe the 2025 racing season for Jordon Mallett, who stepped away from his winged sprint car in the summer to shift priorities.
“We came out well and won a race and were doing our normal thing,” he said. “By late summer we had some family stuff going on and I decided to take a step back to be present with the family. That’s something I probably haven’t done a great job with over my career. After as many years as I’ve spent on the road, it was okay to take some time off to be with family. It was a shift in mindset.
“We had speed and everything lined up like we wanted. I wasn’t quite where I needed to be mentally and I needed to take a step back to spend family time. It was tough because I wanted to be in the race car because that’s what I know, but it was well worth it because it helped my mind. Life has changed now that I have my daughter and it’s made me appreciate my family time more. I enjoy racing, but it was a time I needed to stop and be present with her.”
Prior to his sabbatical from the seat, Mallett recorded one win and nine top 10s in 10 starts while missing out on nearly as many opportunities to race because of rainouts.
“I felt we were really solid and we had speed,” he said. “As the season progressed, it was really tough because we didn’t get an opportunity to run a lot of races because it seemed it rained every other week in the spring and summer. We had good speed, but could have been faster.”
Mallett’s triumph was his 39th career sprint car victory and it gave him a winning season during 12 of the last 14 years.
“That weekend was crazy,” he said. “We had raced with the ASCS National Tour in Kentucky in May. I went to our engine builder’s in North Carolina and went over some stuff. We decided to go to Milton, Fla., to race and it was mostly testing. On the Friday night we were hitting on all cylinders and everything went as it should have and we won. We changed a bunch of stuff up and our engine package for Saturday. We hit on all cylinders that night as well and felt we had the car to win. Some officiating got in the way and we left with a second-place finish, but it was a really solid weekend.”
Mallett has a fresh outlook for the 2026 racing season.
“My mind is focused on next year,” he said. “We left it in the summer as I was taking a little bit of time off. We’re going to get back to racing next year and are currently working on our plan.
“I want to thank our partners not only for their support of our race team, but of me as a person. They have always been behind me and were behind me this year when I needed to take some time off from racing. I feel blessed to have so many great people supporting me.”

Arenz enjoys career ascending year
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 25, 2025 – In his third full-time season of
410 Sprint Car competition, Travis Arenz broke through in impressive
fashion.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver scored a monumental upset victory in the High Limit Racing Rayce Rudeen Foundation main event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Thursday, June 5.
After pocketing by far the biggest first-place prize of his 18-season career, Arenz found himself the talk of the Sprint Car racing world with the bright lights of the Flo Racing cameras documenting his big win on the national stage.
That wasn’t the only winning the two-time Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion did in 2025.
He also tallied a pair of victories in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on May 17 and 141 Speedway on Sept. 13.
The triumphs ran his career 410 Sprint Car A-main win total to four.

Travis Arenz Motorsports Sponsor Showcase – Don and Lynn Kiel
Don and Lynn Kiel’s first date came when they attended a race at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., in June 1998, and they have been together ever since, marrying on Feb. 14, 2005. Lynn spent her working career in the banking industry, retiring in 2017 after 39 years as an assistant vice president at a local Manitowoc bank.
Lynn's interest in racing started when she attended the races at the 141 Speedway as a child with her dad, Andy Endries. RIP ANDY!
Don's interest in racing started when he bought Dean Divine's Modified in the early 1970s. Don's driving experience involved Modifieds and Mini Sprints, as well as 360 Sprint Cars at Manitowoc Expo Speedway in 2011 and 2012.
Don spent four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting the night of his graduation party. He was honorably discharged after four years in 1967 as an Airman First Class. Don was a Minuteman Missile electrician serving as team chief his last year and got to take part in the test firing of four Minuteman Missiles at Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc, Calif. Don was based at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. for 41 months.
Don started flying in Cheyenne at the age of 19, secured his first flying job three days after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force at age 22, and retired at age 60. He retired as Senior Captain on the 300-passenger Airbus A330-300 flying to London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. He has logged over 30,000 hours of flying time with a lot of stories to tell.
For a glimpse of Don's career, Google Don Kiel Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame. For a view of his favorite aircraft that he owned for four years, check out the Warbird Takeoff by looking up Beech 18 Takeoff Great Radial Engine Sound on YouTube. Click on the 32-second video. Don and Lynn continue to fly his 1952 Cessna 170B, both on wheels and skis in the winter.
Don loves to say, “It's pretty cool when your vocation and avocation are one and the same!”
“We started out sponsoring Travis Arenz by buying him a set of rear tires five years ago, and the rest is history,” Don Kiel said. “Travis is a very talented racer, from the tiniest detail to the actual racing. I love to watch Travis feel the track out and then work his magic. I sponsor Travis as I feel he is one of the best!”

Hartmann traverses challenging 2025 campaign
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 26, 2025 – It took a stiff upper lip for Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team to plow through an assortment of mechanical maladies with dogged determination during the 2025 racing season.
The Plymouth, Wis. driver’s fourth foray behind the wheel of a 410 Sprint Car got off to a bumpy start with a string of motor issues to start the year.
Despite the setbacks, Hartmann rallied to tally four top-10 main event finishes, including a season-best seventh-place run at Beaver Dam Raceway on July 27.
In addition, Hartmann earned his second career fast qualifier award in a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., on May 25.

The team also made its Knoxville Raceway debut on July 19.
Hartmann wrapped up the 2025 season with a solid 10th-place run in the Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Sept. 27 to secure an 18th-place showing in the final IRA point standings.
The Plymouth, Wis. driver completed the 2025 campaign with four top-10 main event showings, one B main victory, four IRA dash appearances, and one fast qualifier award in 27 events.
“With everything we dealt with during the season, it was good to end it on a solid note,” Hartmann said following a top-10 showing in the team’s 2025 season finale at Plymouth.

One Final Go for “Shugah’” Shane Sexton in 2025
Perris, California — November 22, 2025 — “Shugah’” Shane
Sexton will close out his 2025 campaign this Tuesday night, November 25th,
at the Bakersfield Speedway. The program features the California Lightning
Sprints presented by Motor City Buick/GMC, running in the Western States
Lightning Sprints Championship. The race is part of the USAC NOS Energy
Drink Midget Jason Leffler Memorial on the track located inside Kevin
Harvick’s Kern Raceway complex.
The outing will be the 14th of the season for the Warner Springs, California racer, his second appearance with the California Lightning Sprints, and his 10th Lightning Sprint race of the year. Earlier in 2025, the ever-upbeat Sexton made eight starts with the SoCal Lightning Sprint Cars at Barona Speedway in San Diego County, finishing sixth in the club’s second-season points chase.
Tuesday’s show marks the 22-year-old’s first return since 2021 to the Bakersfield oval located just off Interstate 5. Those earlier appearances were during his rookie season in full-size sprint cars and were also his first taste of the talent-laden USAC/CRA Series. While he did not transfer out of the B-mains, he showed promise for a newcomer and set the groundwork for his future in sprint car competition.
Sexton’s most recent race was two weeks ago with USAC/CRA at Perris Auto Speedway. On a brisk evening, he climbed into a 410 sprint car for the first time in nearly five months. After starting 21st, he charged forward six spots to finish 15th. Only two other drivers advanced more positions in the 30-lap main on the famed half-mile clay oval.
Fans who want to join “Shugah’” for his final race of 2025 can head to Bakersfield on Tuesday. Spectator gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 5:00. Adult tickets are $30, kids 6–12 are $15, and children 5 and under are admitted free. The track sits alongside Interstate 5 at 13500 Raceway Boulevard in Bakersfield. More information is available at bakersfieldspeedway.com or by calling (661) 835-1264.
Those unable to attend can still catch all the action with flag-to-flag coverage on the FloRacing app.
Thank You to Our 2025 Partners: Gas Chassis, Mike Pridgeon Race Engines, Savage Racing, and Elite Powder Coating.
Businesses interested in partnering with Shane Sexton’s exciting program are encouraged to contact him at ShaneSexton7@gmail.com or (610) 362-5921.

BULLDOG SAFETY & PERFORMANCE PARTNERS UP FOR MUST SEE CHAMPIONS CELEBRATION
November 20, 2025 – Holly, Michigan - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.com today announced that Bulldog Safety & Performance will be a presenting sponsor of the January 10, 2026, 16th annual Champions Awards Celebration.
Bulldog Safety & Performance is a Toledo, Ohio based parts and sales service that carries everything from safety equipment, wheels, shocks, and hoses among other things. They specialize in open wheel racing.
It is only fitting that Bulldog Safety & Performance has come on board as a presenting sponsor of the annual Champions Awards Celebration. The company is all too familiar with Must See Racing. The owner Jimmy McCune is a five-time series champion.
“We carry pretty much everything from safety equipment to performance parts” explains McCune. “We’ve pretty much got everything. We try to stick mostly with the open wheel stuff. We carry everything from driving equipment to performance parts. I don’t have much of a showroom at this point yet, just our Facebook page right now”.
“Most of our customers are from the dirt side, mostly dirt guys from around my area who will call me for stuff. But I’ve got a few pavement guys. This is a great way to get our name out there and let guys know we’re here and can help you with all your needs. Slowly but surely, we’re branching out.”
McCune has cut his pavement racing back in recent seasons to focus on his teenage son Jimbo McCune. The younger McCune, who is a fourth generation of the famed McCune family to have strapped behind the wheel, has shown flashes of greatness early in his career.
In only his second start on pavement this past August, he won his heat race that included the likes of his father Jimmy, Jason Blonde, and Ryan Litt. He was running in the top five of the feature before being sidelined with early mechanical issues.
“I think he completely surprised everybody. He put everybody on notice that he wants to drive a race car. He’s gonna run the majority on dirt this year, but he’ll run the asphalt races that I run. We'll see how many races that ends up being” concluded McCune.
The 2025 Champions Awards Celebration will honor 2025 MSR National Series champion Joe Liguori and 2025 MSR Lights champion JJ Henes. The event will be held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Dakota Albright Caps Season With Runner Up Finish at Hangtown 100
ETERSEN MEDIA- Traveling to Placerville Speedway on Saturday for one final race in 2025, Dakota Albright and his team had a solid finale as the Waterford, CA driver closed the year out with a 2nd place finish.
“From state to finish we were pretty good,” Dakota Albright said. “We timed in well and raced well in our heat and in the feature. We weren’t quite good enough to pick up the win, but I am happy to end our season on a good note.”
With a total of 17 Lighting Sprints checked into Placerville Speedway to take part in the Hangtown 100, Albright timed his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Matos Accountancy/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35jr mount in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Taking the green flag from the fifth starting position in his heat race, Albright was able to move forward on the extremely fast and locked down track surface that took a beating from excessive rain in the days leading up to the event.
Working his way up to a fourth place finish, Albright was locked into the outside of the second row for the 20-lap feature event.
Hitting the track for the feature event, things had a hard time getting going as numerous start attempts were negated to flips. Abel to avoid some of the fray, Albright was up into second when the race finally went green.
Running in second, Albright was able to keep race leader, Greg Dennett within striking distance but just didn’t quite have enough to get up to him and battle for the lead.
Despite being extremely happy with his car, Albright was forced to settle for a runner up finish on this night.
“We had a great car in the feature but he was just better,” Albright said. “Nothing to hang our heads about heading into the offseason. We had good speed, and I am happy with how we were ending our year.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Matos Accountancy, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nutcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright had brought his season to a close.

UNIQUE KLOTZ KLASH TEAM RACE DETAILED
25 laps of action, featuring rolling start and relay concept to determine
winning team
FORT WAYNE, IN (November 19, 2025) – “It’s going to be wild – like nothing else seen at the Rumble before,” is the best way promoter Larry Boos can sum up the newly announced Klotz Klash Team Race for karts at this year’s Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. It will be contested Saturday, Dec. 20, on day two ofthe racing extravaganza competing on the 1/7-mile purpose-built concrete oval inside the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, with $300 going to the winning team and $200 to the runner-ups.
Up to six teams can be entered into the Klotz Klash, with each team consisting of five karts, one each of the following Economy Auto Parts kart divisions – Junior 3, Junior Sportsman, Predator, Clone 360 and Senior Champ. Additionally, five different drivers must be used on the team and drivers can only drive for one team.
The initial line-up will be determined by the team captain at the time of team introductions and will start with Junior Sportsman entries in a rolling start based upon that draw. Each segment will be five quick laps. It will be a continuous green flag situation. Upon the completion of each sector, the team delegate will pull into the infield area, behind their colleague, who will be released from a Rumble official to complete their five laps.
The running order following the initial Junior 3 leg will be Senior Champ, Predator, Junior Sportsman and conclude with the Clone 360 members.
“It is going to take a lot of coordination and skill once the green flag drops,” continued Boos. “Each leg must be properly staged, the driver ready and then be smooth in blending back to the racing surface to race hard and complete their segment.”
“As a Fort Wayne-based company, Klotz Lubricants is proud to support the racing community in an event that shines a spotlight on the passion and tradition of motorsports in our region,” commented Klotz General Manager Cale Carney. “We have been following the Rumble for years; it’s a holiday season gathering of families, fans, and competitors from across the Midwest, and we’re excited to help elevate the experience.”
Founded in 1959, Klotz Oil has over 60 years of service to racers and performance enthusiasts around the world, who have relied on Klotz to grab the checkered flag. Carney concluded, “partnering with the Rumble allows us to engage directly with racers, share our commitment to high-quality products and contribute to an event that has become a staple of Fort Wayne pride.”
Joining the go-kartseach day for complete racing programs will be the full-sized Midgets, along with LiUNA non-winged 600cc Midgets, North Baltimore Custom Cuts winged 600cc Midgets, BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets andCobra Racing Tire/Wedge Innovation Wedge Karts.
Complete information regarding the December 19 and 20 events will be updated on www.rumbleinfortwayne.com as it becomes available.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Produce Special Season That Culminates in Second World of Outlaws Championship
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Nov. 18, 2025) – The 2025 racing season was a magical one for Big Game Motorsports and David Gravel.
The combination produced a second straight World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship, making Gravel only the sixth driver to ever win back-to-back titles with ‘The Greatest Show on Dirt’ in its storied history.
“I feel like it was a really successful season,” he said. “I wanted to defend the title and was able to do that. Our consistency was awesome with the guys bringing a fast race car every night. I think that was our biggest achievement. It’s pretty remarkable what we were able to do. We had high hopes.
“I think we were expected to win. It’s not easy. Everybody is gunning for you. Just because you are expected to win doesn’t mean it’s an easy task. We put our heads down and worried about ourselves and did our jobs night in and night out.”
Gravel led the World of Outlaws in feature triumphs with 17 official victories. He added another trip to Victory Lane during a race with a split field for 18 total wins.
Among the triumphs were several big moments, including the $83,000-to-win Dennis Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., and the Hard Knox Night during the Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. In total, the team was victorious in Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, New York, New Mexico, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Ontario, Canada.
“I don’t know if there’s one that sticks out other than Tulare, winning in that fashion and being our biggest win of our season,” he said. “Truly what sticks out the most to me is the struggles we had for the big events, especially the Kings Royal week and Knoxville Nationals week. I think we had very good finishes on the week; we just had to dig deep and really work for it. I’m proud of those weeks.”
Gravel charged from 19th to fifth place during the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, and from 21st to third during the Knoxville Nationals. He also placed sixth during both the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., and the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Additionally, Gravel topped the World of Outlaws in podium finishes, top fives and top 10s as well as feature laps led, quick time awards, heat race wins and dash appearances. According to stats from the World of Outlaws, Gravel’s average finish of 4.13 is the best for a champion since 2018.
“Very cool and definitely proud of it,” he said. “I’m bummed about crashing on the final race of the year because I think that could have got our average finish under four if we had finished on the podium. It was a great season and something that was hard to do. You look at the record books and it’s something that doesn’t happen very often.”
Also of note, Gravel was awarded Social Ambassador of the Year and Big Game Motorsports’ engine builder – Morrison Racing Engines – garnered the Engine Builder of the Year Award for the second straight season at the World of Outlaws banquet.
The team plans to return to World of Outlaws competition in 2026.

Inside Line Promotions – VADO, N.M. (Nov. 18, 2025) – Jack Dover was on the move last weekend during his debut at Vado Speedway Park.
Dover, who piloted a sprint car for Huband Motorsports, gained multiple positions each time he hit the track throughout the two-day event en route to a runner-up result on Friday and an eighth-place finish on Saturday.
“That place is cool,” he said. “It’s really racy. I thought our weekend went pretty good considering I’d never driven that car or been to that track before.”
Dover kicked off the weekend by hustling from eighth to second place during a heat race on Friday. That moved him into the feature redraw and he pulled the No. 6 to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event. Dover gained four spots to garner a podium position – his ninth of the season.
“We were pretty good,” he said. “I was able to maneuver. On the top I was good and bottom I was good. I made some mistakes in traffic and felt like the car wasn’t pulling from the middle off the corner so we fixed that the next day.”
The weekend wrapped up on Saturday with another solid performance in a heat race as Dover advanced from eighth to fifth place. That locked him into the 15th starting position in the A Main.
“The track wasn’t as wide the second day,” he said. “At that point everybody was pretty fast. We picked off a couple and got into the feature. We slowly picked them off one by one in the feature. At one point we were third or fourth. With about 10 or 12 laps to go the rubber set in and my tires went away so we lost a few positions.”
Dover’s eighth-place result was his 27th top 10 of the season.
The season concludes for Dover this Friday and Saturday at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Ariz., with the POWRi Desert Sprint Car Series. It will mark his debut at the track, where he will race for Huband Motorsports.
“I’m excited,” he said. “Me and Timmy (Estenson) went there a couple of years ago when he raced it. I think it will suit my style. I’m excited to race with the guys again and try our best.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Nov. 14 – Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M. – Heat race: 2 (8); Feature: 2 (6).
Nov. 15 – Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M. – Heat race: 5 (8); Feature: 8 (15).

Banquet
By Barbara Patterson
Vernon, NY - On November 15, at the Vernon Downs Hotel, the Empire Super Sprints celebrated their 42nd season with the Chasing Neon band as entertainment. A familiar name was etched on the championship eagle trophy, as Jordan Poirier earned his fourth ESS Championship in back-to-back-to-back-to back years.
The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Jordan “the Canadian Cannon” Poirier as the 2025 Empire Super Sprints Champion. Jordan beat out runner up Dylan Swiernik, 3rd place Davie Franek, 4th place Jason Barney and 5th place Shawn Donath. Jordan earned 20 top 5s, 22 top 10s and led 98 laps. Out of the 23 races “the Canadian Cannon” finished outside the top ten only once and finished on the podium 16 times. During the season, he amassed 5 Rifenburg Contracting Corp. fast time awards, 9 Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins and 4 wins at Cornwall Motor, Brighton, Brockville Ontario and Albany-Saratoga Speedways. Jordan solidified the 7 race Canadian Series Championship by finishing in the top 10 for all of the races and winning 3 of them.
Dylan Swiernik had a banner year. He bettered his stats by finishing 2nd in points by earning 15 top 5s, 20 top 10s, 8 heat wins and 4 wins at Fulton, Can-Am, Utica-Rome and Autodrome Drummond Speedways.

He was presented with the perpetual Speedweek championship belt for being the Pitre Painting CNY Speedweek Champion due to his 3 wins out of the grueling 5 race speedweek. His stats and numerous awards earned Dylan the Most Improved Driver.
Several special awards were handed out. ESS recognized the 13 different winners out of the 24 races, with 3 drivers earning their 1st victory. The Walt Throne Best Appearing Car was voted on by the fans. After over 1,000 votes the sharp looking green #7C of Dylan Swiernik’s team took home the honor. The peer-voted Mechanic of the Year award went to Cody Buhler, crew chief on the Swiernik race team. Dalton Rombough attained the Cobra Coaches Dash Series Championship by 1 point over Joe Trenca.

The Lane’s Yamaha Rookie of the Year was Tyler Reynolds who moved from Sportsman to 360 sprints this year. Due to engine issues, he only competed in 14 races and scored his best finish of 14th at Autodrome Granby. The Outstanding Newcomer was Quebecois Alex Therrien who finished 8th in the points standings and earned his 1st feature win in front of a packed house of family and friends at Autodrome Granby. The “ironmen” drivers of Poirier, Swiernik, Franek and Barney, who competed in the entire tour, were applauded for their commitment and dedication.
ESS Technical Director Fred Shaughnessy was honored with the John Zentner Award. Fred displays the qualities of John Zentner: commitment, hard work, passion for the sport and a true friend to all in the pits. His attention to detail, work ethic, and willingness to step in wherever and whenever necessary is second to none. Congratulations to Fred who represents ESS in the best possible way.
Chuck “the Cobra” Hebing was inducted into the ESS Hall of Fame for his outstanding performance in sprint car racing. The Cobra has the most wins in ESS CNY Speedweek history with 6 and won back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012. This year Chuck came out of retirement to run 5 races and scored his 40th and final career win which moved him to 3rd place on the ESS All Time Win list. His total 360 sprint wins were 101 with multiple car owners across various sanctions at 33 different tracks.

PENNSYLVANIA’S FINEST: Danny Dietrich secures Central PA
Sprint Cars championship worth $10,000
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 17, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (November 17, 2025) – It is official; Danny Dietrich is the best open wheel ace in Pennsylvania, securing the 2025 Central PA Sprint Cars championship for a $10,000 payday.
Dietrich, who also captured the 2025 Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions, concluded his campaign with BAPS Motor Speedway’s season-ending Sprint Showdown on November 15, and despite a DNF outcome, his stat sheet speaks for itself.
“Overall, another incredible year for Gary Kauffman Racing. Everyone works so hard and I appreciate their effort. Gary gives us the tools necessary to be successful and we’ve proven that time and time again,” Dietrich, backed by Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, C&M Motorsports, Drop of Ink Tattoo, RLR Trucking, and Blud Lubricants, said. “To our partners, fans, and long time supporters, we thank you so much. We wanted our season to end on a better note than what it did, but it comes with the territory.”
“Double-D” concluded his 2025 season with a combined 12 victories, padding the stat card with an impressive 63 top-ten achievements, 47 of which occurring within the top-five. Of Dietrich’s 12 victories, perhaps his most impressive was accomplished in the Buckeye State with the Dean Knittel Memorial championship worth over $26,000 – the final leg of Ohio Sprint Speedweek.
Dietrich’s most recent victory was secured at BAPS, winning the Kevin Gobrecht Classic in late September.
“We were in a position to win a lot more than what we did, but we’ll work to outdo that next year,” Dietrich continued. “If all goes according to plan, we’ll see everyone in Florida.”

Whittall drives Curt Michael’s No. 27H to a top-ten at
BAPS; Southern Hemisphere bound
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 17, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (November 17, 2025) – Getting the call from Curt Michael led to an opportunity he could not refuse, and for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall, it also led to a season extension, driving Michael’s Heffner Racing Enterprises South No. 27H in BAPS Motor Speedway’s season-ending Sprint Showdown on Saturday, November 15.
Whittall, who recently captured a second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph at Bridgeport Motorsports Park worth $12,000, finished tenth in his Heffner South debut, catapulting ahead nine positions after starting from the inside of row ten – he was forced to do so after missing a heat race transfer position.
“Super grateful for the opportunity to drive for Curt Michael at BAPS Motor Speedway. A great chance for us to connect and a great chance for me to learn from him. In all, I’m proud of what we were able to accomplish. It’s never easy jumping into a new car, but we made a lot of progress,” Whittall said. “I’m heading Down Under here soon…I guess it’s time to pack my bags.”
As noted in prior press, Whittall is set to rejoin RBH Racing, RBH Group and Turret Engineering for an Australian campaign beginning December 6 at Perth Motorplex. In total, Whittall is scheduled to enter just over 20 events in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which headlined with High Limit Racing International just after Christmas.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2025
Dayne Kingshott is the king again!
The driver of the Krikke Motorsport W2 claimed his third successive Scardifields Smash Repairs King of Wings at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night from Australian champion James McFadden and Callum Williamson.
Kingshott held off a late lunge from McFadden on the last lap, with the margin to determine the winner of round three of the 2025-26 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series being 0.010 of a second.
After the race Kingshott admitted he thought McFadden got the win and it wasn’t until he parked the car that he realised he had won it.
And this was on top of clipping the back straight concrete fence with only a lap and a half to go in the 40-lap final that was punctuated by an infield pitstop on lap 15.
The result was also Kingshott’s second win in three outings this season, with his other result being a fifth.
He was second quickest in his qualifying group and then took a third in both his heat race and the A Dash to start from p5 in the final.
McFadden started from pole in the final after being third quickest in his group, then taking a win in his heat race and the Revolution Racegear A Dash.
Williamson also started on the front row after being third quickest in his qualifying group and then taking wins in his heat race and the Revolution Racegear B Dash.
The race had gone one lap before Matt Cross spun and was sent to the rear.
A few laps later, Kodi Clayden and Ryan Newton both headed to the work area for repairs on the back of another caution.
When the pitstop was called, Kerry Madsen was leading from Ryan Lancaster, Kingshott, McFadden and Jy Corbett.
Jason Kendrick was the primary cause of an incident with 26 laps remaining, spinning and seeing him go to the work area for repairs, along with a couple of other cars.
Lancaster’s good run came to an end shortly afterwards, hitting the fence on the main straight, while Kaiden Manders was also out, breaking a right rear tyre.
Matthew Cross, who crashed hard at the last show, did the same thing again shortly afterwards, ending his night.
Newton, who had to go to the work area early in the race to replace a buckled right rear tyre, was fourth, while Madsen held on for fifth.
Corbett, Daniel Harding, Taylor Milling, Luke Oldfield and Brad Maiolo rounded out the top 10.
The next event, round 4, will be the Jolly Good Electrics, WA Sprintcar Title, at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday, December 6.
This will be followed a week later with the first of the country rounds, at Albany Speedway, on Saturday, December 13.

Jordan beat out runner up Dylan Swiernik, 3rd place Davie Franek, 4th place Jason Barney and 5th place Shawn Donath. Jordan earned 20 top 5s, 22 top 10s and led 98 laps.

During the season, he amassed 5 Rifenburg Contracting Corp. fast time awards, 9 Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins and 4 wins at Cornwall Motor, Brighton, Brockville Ontario and Albany-Saratoga Speedways. Jordan solidified the 7 race Canadian Series Championship by finishing in the top 10 for all of the races and winning 3 of them.
Dylan Swiernik had a banner year. He bettered his stats by finishing 2nd in points by earning 15 top 5s, 20 top 10s, 8 heat wins and 4 wins at Fulton, Can-Am, Utica-Rome and Autodrome Drummond Speedways.

The Walt Throne Best Appearing Car was voted on by the fans. After over 1,000 votes the sharp looking green #7C of Dylan Swiernik’s team took home the honor. The peer-voted Mechanic of the Year award went to Cody Buhler, crew chief on the Swiernik race team. Dalton Rombough attained the Cobra Coaches Dash Series Championship by 1 point over Joe Trenca. He was presented with snake-skin cowboy boots by Cobra Coaches owner Chuck Hebing and Joe Trenca received baby pink snake-skin cowboy boots for his soon to be born daughter. The Lane’s Yamaha Rookie of the Year was Tyler Reynolds who moved from Sportsman to 360 sprints this year. Due to engine issues, he only competed in 14 races and scored his best finish of 14th at Autodrome Granby. The Outstanding Newcomer was Quebecois Alex Therrien who finished 8th in the points standings and earned his 1st feature win in front of a packed house of family and friends at Autodrome Granby. The “ironmen” drivers of Poirier, Swiernik, Franek and Barney, who competed in the entire tour, were applauded for their commitment and dedication.
ESS Technical Director Fred Shaughnessy was honored with the John Zentner Award. Fred displays the qualities of John Zentner: commitment, hard work, passion for the sport and a true friend to all in the pits.

After Ventura Win, Jeff Dyer Heads North to Placerville for the BCRA Hangtown 100
Yucca Valley, CA — November 11, 2025 — Fresh off his latest triumph of the season at Ventura Raceway, California Highway Patrol officer and racer Jeff Dyer is heading north this weekend to tackle the annual Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway. Weather permitting, the action is set for Friday and Saturday night at the famed red-clay quarter-mile.
thumbnail (1)jj.jpg Five winner stickers from American Racer tell of Jeff Dyer's succesful season. DMS Photo.
Dyer’s Ventura victory was his third California Lightning Sprint (CLS) win of 2025—two of those coming at Ventura and one at Bakersfield—placing him second overall in CLS wins this season. Add in his two SoCal Lightning Sprint Series victories at Barona, and Dyer stands as Southern California’s winningest Lightning Sprint driver of 2025.
At Ventura last month, Dyer qualified second fastest and finished third in his heat, one spot behind teammate Drake Cardey. Starting from the pole in the main, Dyer dominated every lap around the beachside oval.
“We had a pretty good car,” Dyer said after collecting his second Ventura win of the year. “The track was a little narrow, but you could move around. I’ve had a bad back all week and almost didn’t come—but I’m glad I did. I made a few mistakes, but Bobby wasn’t close enough to capitalize. It got interesting in lapped traffic, but we got through it and got the win.”
Cardey, who qualified fourth and finished third in the main, enters the Bakersfield finale just 52 points out of first place. He also sits on the verge of clinching “Rookie of the Year” honors, needing only to take the green flag in a heat race to secure the title.
This weekend’s appearance will mark Dyer’s first return to Placerville since August 2022, when he finished 17th. His best performance at the historic track came in 2021, when he placed fifth on Night #1 of the Hangtown 100.
The weekend’s races will be Dyer’s 31st and 32nd starts of 2025, with just one event remaining after this weekend—the CLS season finale on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway on November 25th.
If Friday’s event is rained out, ticket refunds will be issued. Please note that tickets are reserved and cannot be transferred to Saturday’s show.
Fans and teams are encouraged to follow official social media channels for the latest updates and weather-related announcements.
Two-night ticket packages and single night tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr111425
or by purchasing at the gate on race day. Plenty of pit passes will also be available to take advantage of the extra seating in the pit area.
Cardey’s California Lightning Sprint Car is sponsored by Eibach Springs, Cardey Construction, Inland Rigging, Jake Swanson Shock Technology, Last Lap Insider, and Dylan Godeniz Motorsports.
In 2025, the following marketing partners will help keep Dyer on track. Straight Time Stirrups, Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.
Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2025 season.

Ayrton Gennetten Gains Third Straight Championship in
POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League
Belleville, IL (11/12/25) In a season that combined steady results with decisive victories, Versailles, Missouri’s Ayrton Gennetten completed an exceptional campaign to capture his third consecutive POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League championship.
The 2025 tour featured 25 events across the Midwest, and Gennetten was a fixture at the front from the outset. The familiar No. 3 machine visited Victory Lane three times, including triumphs at Terre Haute Action Track and Tri-City Speedway, before sealing the crown with a commanding late-season performance at Lee County Speedway in September. Along the way, he posted top-ten finishes in every start and placed inside the top five in half of them—an unmatched mark of consistency.
“A third consecutive championship shows the heart of this team,” Gennetten said. “From pre-season prep to the final weekend, we stayed consistent, made the right moves, and kept our focus. This group earned every bit of it.”
Behind the champion, Joe B. Miller kept the pressure on throughout the season, earning four feature victories to finish runner-up in the standings. Xavier Doney, a two-time winner, completed the podium positions, while Scotty Milan and Gage Montgomery rounded out the top five. Rising prospect John Barnard was recognized as Rookie of the Year following his first full-time campaign.
Having already secured titles in 2023, 2024, and now 2025, Gennetten enters the 2026 campaign as the driver everyone will chase. Off-season preparation is already underway as POWRi officials continue efforts to expand scheduling opportunities, enhance competitor programs, and deliver even more marquee events for racers and fans alike.
POWRi Racing congratulates Ayrton Gennetten and the entire team on their outstanding season and thanks all participating drivers, crews, partners, and venues for contributing to another successful year of 410-wing sprint competition.

Mintz Motorsports Signs Emerging Driver Graham Huffman
for 20-Race Schedule in 2026
Gibsonburg, Ohio — Mintz Motorsports is proud to announce that Graham
Huffman, one of the Midwest’s promising young racers, will join the team for
a 20-race schedule in 2026. Huffman will compete at select events sanctioned
by the Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) and the Attica-Fremont Championship
Series (AFCS) in Ohio.
At just 15, Huffman has already built an impressive foundation in grassroots
racing. As a standout in the NASCAR Youth Quarter Midget Series, he earned
an astonishing 45 wins in a single season, multiple championships, and the
coveted Battle at the Brickyard victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He
went on to capture a winged micro sprint track title in 2025, earned
recognition as a Mazda Spec MX-5 Shootout finalist, and a karting world
finals invitee where he’ll compete later this year - underscoring his
versatility and steady rise through multiple disciplines.
The 2026 season marks Huffman’s first full campaign in a winged sprint car -
a significant next step in his young career. The program also welcomes Mike
and Steven Linder, two respected figures in Ohio sprint car racing, who will
oversee team operations and driver development. The partnership represents a
strategic step forward as the team continues to develop young talent and
strengthen its presence in the competitive Ohio sprint car scene.
“I’ve watched winged sprint cars since I was little. Those drivers are
heroes to me,” said Graham Huffman. “To now have the chance to climb into
one and race at some of the greatest tracks in the country is incredible. I
know there’s a lot to learn, and I couldn’t ask for better people to guide
me than Mike and Steven Linder. Their experience and approach to developing
drivers are second to none, and to do it under Craig Mintz’s first-class
operation makes this an incredible opportunity. I’m ready to put in the work
and make the most of it with the Mintz Motorsports team.”
“We’re excited to have Graham join our program,” said team owner Craig Mintz.
“He’s focused, mature beyond his years, and willing to do what it takes to
grow. Running regularly at some of the toughest weekly tracks in the country
will give him valuable experience, and we’re looking forward to being part
of his development.”
Mintz Motorsports will continue to field additional entries throughout the
2026 season and is currently seeking drivers to fill remaining schedule
slots that don't conflict with Huffman’s commitments.

KODY SWANSON WINS BACK-TO-BACK BITNILE OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWNS
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 8, 2025) – Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, California used high side magic to take his second consecutive $50,000 jackpot, winning Saturday’s 100-lap feature at the BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown presented by askROI. The victory in the Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts Winged Sprint Cars came at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the third annual event.
British Columbia’s Jeff Montgomery led the 26-car field to green alongside fast-time qualifier Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. Idaho’s Mike Murgoitio used lapped traffic to dive underneath both Swanson and two-time event runner-up Bobby Santos to move into second. Santos then bounced off of Swanson in the third turn to spark a chain reaction of spins for a caution flag on lap 36.
Swanson roared around the high side of Murgoitio to retake second, then tracked down Montgomery. Montgomery led Swanson by less than a car length into the lap 50 halfway break with Murgoitio in third.
The high side continued to benefit Swanson on a restart. He raced to the outside of Montgomery and the duo staged a thrilling duel. Swanson eventually seized the lead on lap 63 and never relinquished it. Murgoitio drove to second followed by a hard-charging Santos who advanced back to third. 2023 winner Aaron Willison and Washington’s Evan Margeson rounded out the top-five.
“I knew there’s a lot of good cars here. Mike was real good and so was Bobby. I know we’re all racing hard there real early so I hate how that went (with Bobby). Appreciate racing with so many great people and the opportunity to drive this 50m for Dick Meyers and everybody on this RAM Engineering team. Man what a special group to be a part of.”
“This is a special event and I know a lot of people work hard to do it and I’m so grateful Davey (Hamilton, Jr.) got the ball rolling for us.”
Indiana’s Kevin Newton led just the final two laps to take the inaugural Larry Trigueiro Memorial for Super Modifieds, driving Warren Buddell’s famed Pink Lady No. 98 to the coveted win. Colorado’s Kyle Ray dominated all practice sessions and time trials during the Firstline Systems-sponsored event. Ray drove into the lead on lap nine of the feature, but tangled with a lapped car on lap 12. Ray was sent spinning into the turn two wall and eliminated from the event. He was uninjured.
The incident thrust Colorado’s Rich Castor into the lead with Newton in pursuit. Newton dove underneath Castor on the backstretch for the decisive pass to lead lap 29. Newton scored the $5,000 win. Castor settled for second followed by Canadian Jimmy White, Washington’s Randy Anderson, and Davey Hamilton, Sr.
Kyle Tellstrom of Ukiah, California won his inaugural appearance in the BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown, earning the $7,500 prize in the Klotz Synthetics Modifieds. The 75-lap feature saw Tellstrom maintaining a slight lead over Arizona’s Dylan Cappello. Cappello finished second while Jaron Giannini represented home turf in third. Northern California driver Cameron Austin and Colorado’s Nathan Gasser were the balance of the top-five. Defending winner Aaron McMorran recovered from an early incident to finish eighth.
INEX Legends and Bandoleros debuted at the Open Wheel Showdown with two action packed main events. 2025 INEX Legends Nationals Young Lions feature winner Ben Morabito from New York State held off a three-wide challenge to take the 30-lap feature win. The victory in the Windshield Defense Legends paid $1,500. 2025 Pro Nationals feature winner Brenden Ruzbarsky and fellow California Jeremy Doss gave Morabito all he could handle on the final restart. Mike Alcaro of Fredon, New Jersey finished fourth. NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch outperformed his son Brexton in the feature by finishing fifth.
A green-white-checkered finish led to a thrilling victory in the INEX Bandoleros main event. Idaho’s Jhett Phipps knifed underneath Las Vegas’ Caitlin Ford to take the lead in turn four and eventually the coveted victory.

By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and BCRA Lightning Sprints are primed to take on Placerville Speedway this Friday and Saturday for the annual running of the Hangtown 100.
Placerville Speedway is aware of the current forecast but is fully pushing forward with the event. If Friday happens to rain out, refunds will be initiated to ticket holders. With seating being reserved, however, tickets will not roll over into Saturday (if you only had a Friday ticket).
Race fans and teams are encouraged to monitor our social media channels for any updates regarding the show.
Two-night ticket packages and single night tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr111425 or by purchasing at the gate on race day. Plenty of pit passes will also be available to take advantage of the extra seating in the pit area.
The event puts a wrap on the 60th anniversary season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds based venue.
“The Hangtown 100 has become a marquee event to close out the season at Placerville Speedway,” commented track Promoter Scott Russell. “The USAC National Midgets have put on some breathtaking shows here the last several years and we expect more of the same this weekend. Hopefully the fans will come out and support two great nights of racing this Friday and Saturday.”
Prior to a rainout last year, Elk Grove’s Kyle Larson claimed his second Hangtown 100 title in 2023, while winning the feature each night. Larson, the now two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, also scooped up the inaugural running of the event in 2019.
As previously stated, Larson won’t just be co-promoter of the Hangtown 100, he will also be competing in the race once again, searching for a third career win at the event.
The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets are set for a busy California swing that gets underway at Placerville Speedway on Friday.
Bixby, Oklahoma’s Cannon McIntosh, who has been gathering Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the championship standings.
A mix of California favorites, who have gone on to the national stage looking to bring home the top prize will include:
-World of Outlaws runner up and 2022 Hangtown 100 winner Buddy Kofoid. -Former Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial winner and now three-time Gold Cup victor Corey Day. -2021 Hangtown 100 champion and USAC Triple Crown winner Logan Seavey. -Lemoore’s Carson Macedo, who locked up third in WOO points with 12 triumphs this year.
Placerville Speedway hosted a pair of Avanti Windows & Doors USAC Western States Midget events this year, with wins going to Fremont’s Shane Golobic and Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick respectively. Stockton’s Caden Sarale earned the season long championship.
As is tradition, Saturday night’s main event will feature a 100-lap conclusion for the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets.
Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints will complement the event each night. The division has provided entertaining racing during the Hangtown 100 over the last few years. Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt brought home the big win during the 2023 finale.
Livermore’s Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories this season.

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (November 10, 2025) – In a sudden change of events, Justin Whittall’s 2025 American campaign is not complete after all, getting the call to compete in BAPS Motor Speedway’s season finale – set for Saturday, November 15 – for Heffner South Racing.
Whittall, the 2025 Port Royal Speedway track champion, will roll into BAPS Motor Speedway fresh off of a major win at Bridgeport Motorsports Park where the New Jersey native scored a second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph for $12,000. As hinted, Whittall’s 2025 American campaign was intended to be complete following said victory, but plans changed, and for the better.
“We didn’t have BAPS on our schedule until Curt [Michael] called…I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Whittall, who will begin his Australia campaign on December 6, said. “Curt is a knowledgeable guy and I’m excited to see what we can do. Hoping the weather cooperates. It should be a great event, and a great way to end the year officially before healing Down Under.”
As noted in prior press, Whittall is set to rejoin RBH Racing, RBH Group and Turret Engineering for an Australian campaign beginning December 6 at Perth Motorplex. In total, Whittall is scheduled to enter just over 20 events in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which headlined with High Limit Racing International just after Christmas.
ON DECK: Justin Whittall and Heffner South Racing will enter BAPS Motor Speedway’s finale on Saturday, November 15. Whittall will then switch gears and focus on his upcoming Australia campaign, which is set to begin December 6 at Perth Motorplex.

CHAPTER COMPLETE: DLR concludes POWRi campaign with back-to-back
top-tens; Down Under trip and Chili Bowl ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 10, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (November 10, 2025) – The 2025 POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League campaign is officially complete, and for Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR), and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, it’s another chapter in the team’s history book, concluding their efforts with the Deuces Wild Championship Weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on Friday and Saturday, November 7-8.
When the dust finally settled in the Lone Star State, DLR found themselves with back-to-back A-Main starts and back-to-back top-tens, each of which accomplished by Xavier Doney. Doney raced on to finish eighth and sixth, respectively, the products of forward progress. In fact, Doney advanced a total of nine feature positions over the weekend, seven on Friday with the aforementioned eighth-place finish coming from row eight. Xavier Doney concluded the 2025 POWRi championship in the third position, padded by a pair of victories and 19 top-tens in 24 A-Main appearances.
Although Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and teammate, was unable to qualify for main event competition in her two-day visit to Texas Motor Speedway, her efforts were sound and respectable, eventually concluding the year 12th in POWRi’s overall championship with one top-ten to her credit.
As noted before, Xavier Doney is pleased to announce that, not only will be he entering the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals with three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Sammy Swindell, as a teammate, but in addition, the recently turned 20-year-old is heading Down Under, set to make an appearance at the Perth Motorplex in High Limit Racing’s international program on December 28-30. The richest event in Australia history will award $110,000-to-win.

CLEAN SWEEPING: Aaron Reutzel and RSR perfect in POWRi
finale at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 10, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (November 10, 2025) – “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) made it look easy in their weekend road trip to the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, not only sweeping the two-day Deuces Wild Championship finale featuring the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League, but racing on to lead every feature circuit. In fact, Reutzel, who recently concluded the High Limit Racing championship with a second-place finish in the team race, was relatively uncontested, an example being Friday’s four-second triumph in a non-stop 25-lapper.
Reutzel’s POWRi victories propelled his season tally to 14, four of which occurring in POWRi competition. The Clute, Texas, native now owns ten career POWRi wins with his recent pair at Texas Motor Speedway accompanied by a $12,000 total winner’s share.
As an impressive side note, technically Reutzel swept the POWRi doubleheader in one day, as Friday’s main event was not completed until after midnight.
“A great way to end the season. It was an up and down year, for sure, and for obvious reasons, but this team never gave up and I’m more than proud of their efforts,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, and Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “A great effort by Aaron [Reutzel] all weekend. We’ll head back to the shop and begin preparations for next season. It will be here before we know it.”
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel will resume competition in 2026.

Andy Forsberg Caps 2025 With Win at Paul Hawes Tribute
PETERSEN MEDIA: Mother Nature postponed the original date for the Paul Hawes Tribute in Marysville, CA, but with incredible Fall weather cast over the area on Saturday night, the show was able to run in its entirety and when the dust settled int was Andy Forsberg closing his year out with his 11th feature event win.
“Everyone always gives me a hard time for going to Marysville, but some of these races do mean a lot of to me,” Andy Forsberg said. “The Toller, the Hall, and the Hawes races are special because I raced with all of those families so I am extremely thankful the track was able to get this one in.”
With 18 cars checked in on Saturday night, Forsberg laid down a great lap in qualifying time trials as he laid down a great lap and earned quick time qualifier honors.
Lining up fourth in his heat race, Forsberg searched around the extremely fast Marysville Raceway surface. With the bottom still very greasy, Forsberg explored the high side of the speedway but it too was greasy and he flirted with disaster at both ends of the track.
Able to get his mount back into the middle groove, Forsberg picked up a fourth place finish in his heat race, which put the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed in the nightly redraw.
Pulling the two, Forsberg lined up on the front row of the 25-lap feature event alongside Brad Bumgarner.
When the race came to life, Forsberg was shot out of a cannon as he quickly pulled away from the leaders and worked his way towards the rear of the field.
With the surface still very fast, Forsberg still managed to get towards traffic, though he was able to slow his pace a touch to avoid navigating slower cars on the hooked up surface, but it did allow Bumgarner to reel him in.
Amidst a near non-stop run, the caution flag did fly on the 18th circuit and give Forsberg clear traffic for the final six lap.
Able to keep Bumgarner at bay, Forsberg powered to is 11th win of the season as he brought his year to an end.
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 49, Wins-11, Top 5’s-25, Top 10’s-31
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team have concluded their 2025 season.

Kaleb Johnson Produces Four Feature Triumphs During Solid Season
Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 10, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson enjoyed a strong year that featured four feature victories and a runner-up result in the Huset’s Speedway championship standings.
“I would say overall it went pretty well,” the Team DGRD driver said. “I felt we were strong for most of the year. We showed speed, but have to improve on certain areas. A lot of it is qualifying. We qualified good at Huset’s, but on the bigger stages, that’s where we struggled and that seems to dictate how your night goes. If we can improve on that it will give us a better shot at racing up front in the national shows.”
Johnson kicked off the season at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., by winning the season opener. It marked his first career 410ci winged sprint car triumph. He followed that up by capturing the second and third races of the season at the high-banked oval, becoming the first driver since 2008 to win the first three points races of the year at Huset’s Speedway.
“Our month of May was our best of the season,” he said. “All things were clicking and we were working really good as a team. Everything we did just went right. We had some good results on the track. At Huset’s, I felt any time the track slicked off we had a shot to win and we proved that. It was a good stretch.”
Johnson recorded his final victory of the season in September at Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill., where he earned his first-ever Midwest Open Wheel Association triumph.
“Spoon River was a good night, too,” he said. “We unloaded with speed and managed to get it done in the feature. We had a car I could put anywhere on the track. It was cool to shake off some bad luck that we had for awhile and turn it around with a win.”
After leading the Huset’s Speedway points standings for most of the season, Johnson placed second in the final standings by only five points.
“That one stings, especially when you don’t finish outside the top 10 in points races at the track all year,” he said. “It came down to qualifying the very last night. At the end of the day we lost to one of the hottest drivers in the country. Second is something to still be proud of.”
Also of note, Johnson earned his first career top-10 finish in Central Pennsylvania, he garnered his third career top 10 with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and he finished in the top 10 in the Knoxville Raceway (in Knoxville, Iowa) championship standings despite not competing there full time.
“I want to thank Dennis and Betty Gainey, our crew and the great sponsors for the opportunity and for the support,” Johnson said. “We had some great moments and some moments to build on this year.”

Dover Scores Two Seventh-Place Finishes During POWRi Event in Texas
Inside Line Promotions – FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 10, 2025) – Jack Dover produced a pair of seventh-place results last weekend at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway during a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League doubleheader.
“Overall, I’d say I was eight out of a 10 pleased with it,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “I made some errors and we could have made the car a little better. Realistically, we should have been a top-five car both nights. Considering I’d never been there before and having almost 40 cars there, it was pretty respectable.”
Dover qualified 17th quickest to open Friday’s racing program. A seventh-place result in a heat race was followed by a charge from fifth to second place in the B Main. That transferred Dover into the back of the main event. He hustled from 18th to seventh place to garner the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
“Qualifying and the heat race didn’t go very well so that put us in the B Main,” he said. “We made it through that by gaining some spots and then the car was really good in the A Main. It was probably one of the better races I’ve had all year. I was able to maneuver wherever. Top, bottom, middle, it didn’t matter. We got really strong the last 10 laps.”
Saturday showed improvement as Dover timed in 13th quickest in qualifying. A heat race win locked him directly into the main event. He picked up a pair of positions to place seventh in the event finale.
“We got a little better in qualifying and won our heat race,” he said. “We started further forward in the feature and was able to advance a couple of spots. Almost every time we hit the track all weekend we moved ahead so it was a good weekend.”
Next up, Dover will make his debut at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M., this Friday and Saturday.
QUICK RESULTS –
Nov. 7 – The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas – Qualifying: 17; Heat race: 7 (5); B Main: 2 (5); Feature: 7 (18).

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Capture World of Outlaws Championship After Strong Showing at World of Outlaws World Finals
Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 10, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports capped a second straight championship season with a winning performance during the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte last weekend.
David Gravel placed second on Thursday and was victorious on Friday before the event ended with a DNF on Saturday. The overall performance was strong enough for the team to garner the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship for the second year in a row.
“It was an awesome season,” he said. “It started off strong. We were just so consistent this year. Sprint car racing is just so tough. I’m so proud of what we were able to do this year, the full body of work from beginning to end. I think all of us at Big Game Motorsports feel that way.”
Gravel timed in second quickest in his group, won a heat race and placed second in both the dash and feature on Thursday – ending less than a second behind the leader after running second for all 25 laps.
On Friday, Gravel, who had set quick time in his group, won a heat race and finished sixth in the dash to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event.
“I felt like the bottom of (turns) one and two wasn’t very good, but in (turns) three and four I felt pretty good,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I wasn’t having good exit speed, but was really gaining to the center. I just kept working it. I changed my entry a lot of times there in (turns) three and four at the end. The more I got in the brown, the better, and more I gained on (Rico Abreu). He definitely started hanging for sure. He was struggling there in (turns) one and two. I got faster than him in the cushion, and he was definitely hanging on. It’s good to get a win.”
Gravel worked his way into the runner-up position by Lap 15 before pouncing in the waning laps, leading the final two circuits to give him a triumph during seven of the last nine years at the track.
Gravel was the high-points driver entering the season finale on Saturday. A heat race win and dash victory gave him the pole position for the main event. He led the first 14 laps before contact with the wall resulted in an early exit with a 25th-place result.
“What a season,” he said. “I’m just really proud of my guys. I feel really bad for them tonight with what happened, but it doesn’t put a black eye on your whole season. It’s been such a good year. I just can’t believe how consistent we were all season. These guys produced every night, and I can’t thank them enough.”

Turkey Night Grand Prix Next for Brent and Grant Sexton
Lakeside, CA — November 5, 2025 — Southern California sprint car veterans Brent and Grant Sexton will return to action on Thanksgiving weekend for one of the sport’s crown jewels—the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor’s Ventura Raceway. The historic holiday classic will mark the father-and-son duo’s first sprint car outing since tackling the Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway in late October.
The debut trip to the Arizona oval for Sexton Gatlin Racing was anything but easy. Grant battled a stubborn fuel system that refused to cooperate, leaving patriarch Brent to carry the team’s banner. A three-time California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, Brent’s night was cut short in his heat race by a faulty mag box on Friday, sidelining the bright #44 early.
Returning Saturday, determined to turn things around, Brent’s luck refused to change. A broken rear brake mount in his qualifier left him with only front brakes for the C-Main, but the veteran’s steady hands kept him out of trouble long enough to transfer into the B-Main. Unfortunately, a sheared U-joint ended the night and the team’s Arizona adventure prematurely.
While the weekend proved frustrating for the Sextons, Sexton Gatlin Racing’s rising rookie, Braydin Collie, gave the team something to smile about at the Ventura Raceway. The talented teen turned in the eighth-fastest qualifying time, won his heat race, and finished seventh in the 25-lap main event. Heading into the California Lightning Sprint Car Series finale at Bakersfield on November 25th, the El Cajon racer sits sixth in Motor City Buick/GMC championship points—just one point out of fifth—and second in Rookie of the Year standings. Though it is unlikely without a lot of good fortune, Collie remains mathematically alive in the Rookie of the Year chase. Before that finale in Bakersfield, he’ll trade dirt for desert when he competes in Mexico’s legendary Baja 1000 in a trophy truck next week.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2025 season.
Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

BOBBY SANTOS LEADS THURSDAY PRACTICE FOR OPEN WHEEL
SHOWDOWN
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 16, 2025) – Two-time BITNILE Open
Wheel Showdown runner-up Bobby Santos kicked off his drive for Saturday’s
$50,000 payday by leading Thursday’s practice action at the Bullring at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway. Santos roared around the .375-mile speedway in the
Elliott’s Custom Trailer & Carts Winged Sprints action at 12.054 seconds,
averaging 111.99 miles per hour.
Opening practice was led by Kingsburg, Calif.’s Kody
Swanson, the defending winner. 2023 winner Aaron Willison of British
Columbia, Canada paced the second session.
“It’s tough. I mean a lot of great race cars here. Davey and
his crew have put on an unbelievable event. As far as I’m concerned it is
the biggest race of the year. Just been working hard to have a good car to
get here. Practice went well today. The next two days are more important
than today,” Santos said. “Tomorrow’s all about going fast for a couple laps
and putting ourselves in position to start up front. Then we will put this
thing into race mode Saturday morning.”
The opening session saw wild swings of pace, with JoJo
Helberg of Rohnert Park initially unloading several tenths ahead before the
rest of the pack grabbed hold of the speedway. Warm 80 degree temperatures
presented a challenging surface for the winged machines. British Columbia,
Canada’s Jeff Montgomery continued his tradition of strong opening practice
day performances as well, ending the night session in fifth.
Colorado’s Kyle Ray dominated both practices for the
inaugural Larry Trigueiro Memorial for the Firstline Systems Super Modifieds.
Ukiah, California’s Kyle Tellstrom and Las Vegas’ Jaron Giannini split the
Klotz Synthetics Modifieds practices. Both sessions saw at least the
top-five cars separated by less than a tenth of a second.
Windshield Defense INEX Legends made their debut laps with
New York racer and 2025 Young Lions Nationals feature winner Ben Morbadito
leading the first session. California Legends stalwart Jeremy Doss paced the
night session. 14-year-old Liam Hammond of Denver, Colorado and Indiana’s
Chase Bohannon led the INEX Bandolero trials.
BR Motorsports Qualifying Night is on tap for Friday night.
Admission gates open at 10:45am followed by final practices for all five
divisions. Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts Winged Sprint Cars kick off
time trials at 1:40pm followed by Klotz Synthetics Modifieds and Windshield
Defense Legends in qualifying activities. Opening ceremonies are at 4:35pm
followed by a full slate of heat races, C-Mains, and the Firstline Systems
Pole Shuffle for Winged Sprints.
Tickets are available via the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
website or at the gates. Pit Passes will be sold at the gate and include
grandstand access.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Closes Out His 2025 Racing Season Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway
Chino Hills, CA — November 7, 2025 — A racing season that
began 271 days ago and 2,449 miles away in Barberville, Florida, will come
to a close this Saturday night when Eddie Tafoya Jr. caps off his campaign
just 36 miles from home in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car
Series at Perris Auto Speedway. In the span since his first race of the
year, the Chino Hills, California, driver has competed 24 times with three
different associations, at eight tracks, in three states.
Perris Auto Speedway—where his father, Eddie Tafoya Sr., also raced sprint cars—is the track the 28-year-old knows best. He first turned laps there in 2018, winning the track’s Young Gun Sprint Car Series title. One year later, he captured the prestigious USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award, with most of his early laps coming on the famed Riverside County half-mile clay oval.
Tafoya’s latest appearance on the 29-year-old track came last Saturday night in USAC/CRA competition. It was his ninth start of the season at Perris, where he qualified sixth with a blistering 16.711-second lap. That effort put him in the second 10-lap heat race, where he started fourth, charged forward, and finished third.
His qualifying time and heat race finish placed Tafoya on the outside of the front row in his sharp-looking #57T. Unfortunately, early turn-two chaos dropped him back in the pack. Had it been a Speedway Motorcycle race, a “first corner bunching” restart might have been called, putting him back up front—but this was sprint car racing, and the green stayed out.
In one of the toughest fields of the season at Perris, Tafoya regrouped and held strong inside the top 10 all night, finishing 10th at the checkered flag.
Remarkably, even without running full-time in 2025, Tafoya enters Saturday’s season finale 10th in the championship standings. In nine Perris starts this year, he’s logged eight top-10s and two top-fives, highlighted by a fourth-place finish on September 13th.
“No plans for next year yet,” Tafoya said when asked about the off-season and 2026. “Just the same off-season stuff as usual—tearing the cars down and getting them ready to go for the start of next season. It comes up fast.”
Saturday’s program at Perris will also feature a custom car show. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing beginning 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:30. It will also be Fan Appreciation night and all fans 13 and over will get in for the discounted rate of $25.00.
This Saturday, Perris

JEFF MONTGOMERY WINS FIRSTLINE SYSTEMS POLE SUFFLE AT
OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 7, 2025) – Jeff Montgomery of Cobble
Hill, British Columbia, Canada led wire-to-wire in Friday’s Firstline
Systems Pole Shuffle for Winged Sprints, earning the pole position for
Saturday’s $50,000 to win BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown in Las Vegas.
Montgomery topped an all-star cast of Elliott’s Trailers & Carts Winged
Sprint Cars in the 12-car, 10-lap event to cap BR Motorsports qualifying
night.
“It means a lot. It shows what kind of race team we have. At
the end of the day, starting on the pole doesn’t win it. You have to lead
one lap – the last lap – that’s the one that pays the money. If I can run
the 10 laps I just ran at the end of this race tomorrow night, we should
have no problem winning it. We have the best winged pavement sprint car
drivers in the world here so I have my hands full,” Montgomery said.
Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. led Winged Sprint Cars
qualifying presented by Hamada, timing in at 11.774 seconds at 114.659 miles
per hour.
Trainor, JoJo Helberg, Bobby Santos, 2023 winner Aaron
Willison, 2024 winner Kody Swanson, and Montgomery won the 12-lap Beast
Chassis heat races. Idaho’s Mike Anderson then won the Wildwood Brakes
C-Main.
The 12 drivers who transferred out of the heat races drew
for the starting lineup for the shuffle, with Montgomery drawing the pole
alongside Trainor. Montgomery and Trainor will be the front row for
Saturday’s 100-lap, $50,000-to-win contest. Santos finished the shuffle in
third, setting the stage for a powerful second row alongside Swanson.
2024 Klotz Synthetics Modifieds winner Aaron McMorran led
qualifying action before heat races went to Kyle Tellstrom, 2025 Bullring
Modified champion Kyle Jacks, and Kris Price.
Windshield Defense INEX Legends qualifying was led by New
York’s Ben Morabito. INEX Bandoleros and the Inaugural Larry Trigueiro
Memorial for Super Modifieds wrapped up practice action Friday as well. Both
divisions will time trial before racing begins on Saturday.
Admission gates open at 11am Saturday followed by final
practices. Opening Ceremonies are at 2:15pm followed by four B-Features and
five Championship Features for the 2025 BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown.
Tickets are available via the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
website or at the gates. Pit Passes will be sold at the gate and include
grandstand access.
Live coverage of the entire event is on Speed Sport 2.

Brody Roa Gears Up for His 2025 Season Finale This Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway!
Cypress, CA – November 5, 2025 — One of Southern
California’s most popular open-wheel racers, Brody Roa, will wrap up his
impressive 2025 campaign this Saturday night, November 8th, when Heimark
Distributors Anheuser Busch presents the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA
Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway. The lightning-fast half-mile clay oval
will open its spectator gates at 5:00 p.m., with racing starting earlier
than usual at 6:30.
Nineteen other cars were on hand for the most recent high-intensity 410 sprint car battle at the track, located just over an hour east of Los Angeles. Roa, 34, qualified fifth-fastest for the second consecutive race, clocking a 16.687-second lap—his quickest qualifying effort in nine Perris appearances this season.
Starting on the outside of row two in a stacked 10-car, 10-lap heat race, the friendly Garden Grove, California, racer steered his bright green #91R to a strong second-place finish, earning a spot among the first three rows for the 30-lap main event.
When the field lined up for the finale, Roa—winner of the previous race at the track two weeks earlier—started on the inside of the front row. He held third for most of the race before crossing the line fifth at the finish.
For the 2023 USAC/CRA Series Champion, it marked his 10th top-10 finish in 13 starts this year. In his last six outings, Roa hasn’t finished worse than eighth, tallying four top-fives highlighted by his October 18th victory at Perris.
Roa is currently exploring the possibility of a return to January’s Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the first time since 2022. Stay tuned for updates.

Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno.
The muffler rule for Winged 360 Sprint Cars will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers. Weight rule will be 1500 pounds with the driver fully suited in the car.
Additional rules will fall in line with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. An SCCT style format, minus the Dash, with a 24-car starting field will be utilized.
Bixby, Oklahoma’s Cannon McIntosh, who has been gaining Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the standings.
NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson of Elk Grove swept both the USAC National Midget and Winged 360 Sprint Car finale last November at Merced Speedway.
Tickets for the Chase Johnson Classic presented by American Rock and Rent on Saturday November 22nd cost $30 for adults (ages 16 and up), while ages 5-15 cost $15. Those four and under are free.

Sprint Cars, Stock Cars, A Car Show, And Fan Appreciation Night At Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Perris, California — November 4, 2025 — Fans are in for a
blockbuster evening this Saturday night, November 8th, when Heimark
Distributors Anheuser Busch presents an unforgettable night of high-octane
entertainment at Perris Auto Speedway. The program features the Avanti
Windows USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, plus the PASSCAR Super Stocks, Street Stocks,
and American Factory Stocks battling it out in the annual Jerry Dodd
Champion’s Night. Adding even more excitement, Oval Entertainment and Suns 7
Collective will host “Speed and Style,” featuring the Cars N Coffee
Riverside Car Show. And as if that weren’t enough—it’s Fan Appreciation
Night, with adult admission just $25.00! Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and racing
kicks off 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday’s show will mark the final 2025 appearance for both USAC/CRA and PASSCAR competitors. While Laveen, Arizona’s RJ Johnson has clinched his second straight USAC/CRA championship, and Riverside’s Shaun Estes has secured his first Street Stock crown since 2012, two titles are still on the line. David Stites enters the night with a slim 15-point lead over James Keller of Oak Hills in the Factory Stock Championship, while in the Super Stocks, 2023 champ Ricky Lee of Banning holds a razor-thin two-point edge over four-time PAS titleholder Chuck Becker of Yucaipa.
“It is going to be a great night,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “The USAC/CRA finale, with no two-time series champion RJ Johnson, will be complemented by USAC National drivers Mitchell Moles, who won last week, his teammate Hayden Reinbold, and Jake Swanson. It should be a great race once again. Last Saturday, the fight for the lead was fantastic between Moles and Austin Williams. Also, a full program with all three of our stock car classes and a showdown for the super stock title between Chuck Becker and Rickie Lee.”
“We are also looking forward to the ‘Speed and Style’ with the Cars N Coffee Riverside Car Show,” Kazarian continued. “The response to the car show has been great, and we expect to see some beautiful cars on Saturday. The car show starts when the gates open, and it is included with the price of a race ticket.”
Saturday is also Fan Appreciation Night at The PAS, with ticket prices slashed to $25.00 for those ages 13 and up and seniors. Kids 6–12 are $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds parking fee is $20.00 (the parking fee is payable by card only). Advance tickets are available now at tix.com, and plenty of walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.
After Saturday, The PAS will host one final event in 2025—the Pick Your Part Night of Destruction, closing out the year on November 22nd.

Deuces Wild Drivers to Watch: POWRi 410 Sprints at Texas Motor Speedway Deuces Wild Drivers to Watch: POWRi 410 Sprints at Texas Motor Speedway
Belleville, IL. (11/4/25) The POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League, running in conjunction with the POWRi MYCO Plastics Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, is set to close out its thrilling 2025 season in grand fashion as the nation’s top open-wheel stars converge on the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track for the highly anticipated “Deuces Wild” weekend, Friday and Saturday, November 7–8.
Serving as one of the premier sprint car showcases in the Lone Star State, Deuces Wild will feature two full nights of high-speed competition, with drivers from across the country battling for glory on the high-banked half-mile just outside the famed Texas Motor Speedway.
Wrapping up the season with a Texas-sized two-step, series point leader Ayrton Gennetten looks to seal the deal on his third straight championship, with four-time race winner Joe B. Miller and two-time victor Xavier Doney joining him on the divisional podium. Scotty Milan and Gage Montgomery remain locked in an intense battle rounding out the top five in the standings heading into the weekend.
Adding to the intrigue heading into Deuces Wild, the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League will also see John Barnard officially clinch 2025 Rookie of the Year honors. Meanwhile, the resurgence of Rees Moran and the rapid rise of Sean Rayhall continue to draw attention, with Short Track Nationals Champion Hank Davis looking to extend his hot streak. Texas native Preston Perlmutter and rising star Natalie Doney also aim to lock down top-ten finishes in the final standings.
Running alongside the POWRi MYCO Plastics Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, two POWRi 410 Sprint divisional championships will be crowned over the November 7–8 weekend. In Elite competition, Brandon Anderson enters the weekend with a narrow 50-point advantage over Cody Garner, while Austin Mundie remains within striking distance in third. Colby Stubblefield and Carson Bolden round out the regional top five, with Dalton Stevens, John Carney II, Ryder McCutcheon, Brett Becker, and Marcus Thomas also expected to contend at TMS.
Ramping up the action, a deep roster of national and regional stars is set to invade Texas, including eight-time series winner and High Limit standout Aaron Reutzel, three-time league winner and ASCS National point leader Sam Hafertepe Jr., 2025 Knoxville Raceway Track Champion Austin McCarl, inaugural league champion Roger Crockett, and three-time POWRi National Midget League champion Zach Daum, all joining the two-day showdown.
Adding even more firepower to the Deuces Wild entry list, former POWRi National Midget League champion and High Limit High Roller Brenham Crouch returns aboard the Joey Starnes Racing entry. Ian Madsen will make the trek to Texas, joined by Oklahoma veteran Danny Jennings, Iowa’s Steve Pumphrey, Tennessee’s Howard Moore, Nebraska’s “Gasman” Jack Dover, and Texas talents Christopher Townsend and Brekton Crouch, all chasing victory in the Lone Star State.

Tanner Holmes Caps Season with Tarlton Motorsports Off
With Stockton Top- 5
PETERSEN MEDIA- Fresh off the news that Tanner Holmes was
making the move to Buch Motorsports to run a full High Limit schedule in
2026, the Jacksonville, OR driver had one finale race with Tarlton
Motorsports on the books and he had a nice final outing with the team as he
pocketed a fifth place finish.
“It was a great way to end our time together,” Tanner Holes
said. “Despite the track being tough to pass on much of the night, we had a
great speed and came away with a really solid finish.”
With 22 cars in the pit area, Holmes timed the Tarlton and
Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales backed No. 21 in sixth
fastest in time trials, and lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Settling into second on the extremely fast and tight racing
surface, Holmes held down the spot as he ripped around the tight bullring.
Finishing second, Holmes secured the eighth starting spot in
the final NARC 30-lap feature of the 2025 season.
When the race came to life, Holmes was quickly up into sixth
as a couple of early cautions slowed the early goings of the race. Once
things settled in and the race got into rhythm, Holmes was able to work into
fifth and chase after the likes of Tim Kaeding and DJ Netto who ran ahead of
him.
Though traffic helped tighten things up at the front of the
field, there wasn’t a ton of passing opportunity. Continuing to hold down
fifth, Holmes capped his 2025 season with Tarlton Motorsports off with a
fifth place finish.
“I really felt like we were as good as anyone out there in
the feature, but just didn’t quite have enough room to move around,” Holmes
said. “With our time together coming to an end, I really want to thank Tommy
Tarlton and the entire Tarlton family for the opportunity to run such an
iconic car this season. I always want to thank Drew Warner and everyone that
helped on the car all year. They made it such a fun season, and one that I
will never forget.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.

Dover Posts Career-Best Short Track Nationals Result With Top-Five Run
Inside Line Promotions – TEXARKANA, Ark. (Nov. 3, 2025) – Jack Dover produced his career-best result during the 38th annual Short Track Nationals on Saturday at Texarkana 67 Speedway.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver made his debut at the track, which hosted the event that had been held at the now-closed I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., for more than three decades. It was Dover’s first time racing in the Short Track Nationals in a decade.
“I’m very happy,” he said. “I wouldn’t say we had a car capable of winning, but we were a little better than our results showed. I think I could have done a little better job and the car probably had a little more in it for better results. Overall, it was a good weekend.”
Dover kicked off the two-day event on Friday by qualifying fifth quickest in his group. He then placed fourth in a heat race to lock into the main event.
“I thought we were decent in qualifying,” he said. “In the heat race I should have been at least a second-place car. I slid Cole Macedo twice for the lead. When I did that it killed my momentum and allowed two guys to get around me. Coming in afterwards and talking with the guys, I should have just settled for second. Then in the feature I putted around the bottom for most of the race and gained what I could.”
Dover advanced from 12th to eighth place in the main event.
A third-place result in a heat race opened Saturday’s program and sent Dover directly into the 41-lap A Main.
“In the heat race I was trying to slide for second,” he said. “I fell back to fourth and somebody fell out so that put us third as we finished where we started. In the feature it was kind of a survive game. That’s what we did. As the race went on and we lost our fuel load we got faster. On Lap 38, with three laps to go, we were the second-fastest car. But my nose wing broke with two laps to go as I was getting ready to pass for fourth. Considering we hadn’t been to that track and didn’t have any notes, it was a decent weekend.”
Dover’s fifth-place result was his top finish during a Short Track Nationals finale. It marked his 16th top-five outing of the season.
Up next is a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League doubleheader at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, this Friday and Saturday. It will be his first time competing at the track.
“I’m excited for a big track and something new,” he said. “I think we’ll have some good competition to go up against to see where we stack up.”

Oct. 31 – Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Ark. – Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 4 (2); Feature: 8 (12).

Forsberg 8th at SCCT Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to action over the weekend to take part in
both the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and NARC finales in Stockton, CA, Andy
Forsberg scored an eighth-place finish on Friday night with the SCCT before
having a DNF on Saturday night with NARC.
“It was an okay weekend for our team,” Andy Forsberg said.
“Friday night I made a bonehead mistake in qualifying and pulled off on my
second lap thinking I made two laps already, and Saturday night we just
struggled all night in the 410ci.”
Checking in for the SCCT finale on Friday night with 26 cars
in the pit area, Forsberg opened the weekend up by timing the PHR/Meridian
Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in 21st fastest with only the one lap
taken.
Lining up sixth in his heat race, Forsberg was able to dig
out of the hole he put himself in as he raced to a third-place finish in his
heat race and improved his starting position in the feature emphatically.
Rolling off of the starting grid from 12th, Forsberg was
able to avoid some of the chaos that took place early in the feature event
that ultimately forced the officials to call for an ‘open red’ at the
halfway point of the feature.
Working his way up into sixth after the crews cleared the
track, Forsberg looked for a way inside the Top-5 as the laps wound down.
Having some trouble on the narrow exit for turn four, Forsberg ended up
losing a pair of positions in the final five laps as he slipped back to an
eighth-place finish.
Saturday night saw the team swap power plant to take part in
the NARC season finale. After getting off to a slow start in time trials,
Forsberg was able to again make up for it in his heat race as he powered his
way from seventh to fourth to again improve his feature event starting
position.
Ripping around the Stockton Dirt Track bullring, a mid race
restart didn’t got Forsberg’s way and it saw him get up over the racing
surface and lose quite a few positions.
Making the decision to gather it up slowly, Forsberg then
pulled his machine back to the pit area and brough his night to a close.
“We just seem to be a little off with our 410ci and our
car,” Forsberg said. “We just weren’t great on Saturday.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian
Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western
Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness,
Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co.,
and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 48, Wins-10, Top 5’s-24, Top 10’s-30
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team set to return to
action this weekend at Marysville Raceway for the Spooktacular make up race.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Enter World of Outlaws
World Finals on Brink of Second Championship
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Nov. 3, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports is only a handful of nights away from capturing its second straight World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship.
David Gravel holds a 138-point lead in the championship standings entering the World of Outlaws World Finals, which runs this Wednesday through Saturday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C.
“It’s been a great season,” he said. “We had a couple of bumps along the way, but as far as our on-track performance, it’s been pretty flawless. You can’t ask for much more than to have the speed we did night in and night out.
“You just take it one weekend at a time. We had amazing qualifying speed this year. We were consistently on the front row of heat races and we capitalized. We got into a lot of dashes this year. I felt whenever we had to dig ourselves out of a hole we were able to, but 90 percent of the time we put ourselves in position.”
The team will look to do that one final weekend at a track where Gravel has seven career World of Outlaws wins. In fact, he’s been victorious during six of the last eight years at the World of Outlaws World Finals.
“Charlotte has been a really good track for us so we’re hoping to close off the season with at last a win or two,” he said. “I always have good vibes at Charlotte. We have a lot of family members and friends who come. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. You know at the end of the weekend you’re done for the year. We’re excited with the speed we’ve had and eager to get some races in at Charlotte.”
Given Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the event is 138 points, the team simply needs to finish 23rd or better in each of the three main events to secure the championship even if the driver second in the standings wins all three races.

Kaleb Johnson Excited for Return to World of Outlaws
World Finals
Inside Line Promotions – SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Nov. 3, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson is bound for North Carolina this week to tackle the World of Outlaws World Finals for the second year in a row.
The Team DGRD driver invades The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord Wednesday through Saturday for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season finale.
“It’s something I’m looking forward to,” Johnson said. “It’s a cool event and the race track kind of suits my style. It’s big and fast and wide and gets slick. Hopefully we can improve on our results from last year.”
Johnson made his debut at the track during the World of Outlaws World Finals last year. His best result was the final night when he advanced from 14th to ninth place in the Last Chance Showdown to miss making the main event by only five positions.
“The way the race track races it gets slick fast and the lines change throughout the race,” he said. “I’d say that’s the most important part. I feel like we have our program headed in the right direction. I definitely feel more confident this year than last year. I think if I can manage to make two or all three features I’d be a happy camper.”
The World of Outlaws World Finals is the penultimate event of the season for Johnson, who has spent the last month and a half on the road racing against some of the best drivers in the business and venturing to tracks for the first or second time.
“I can see where it’d be tough to continually get your butt kicked, but I look at the grand scheme of things and sometimes you have to get your butt kicked to get better,” he said. “I take it as a learning step and motivation to try to get better. Hopefully we can take another step forward this week at the World Finals.”

But Hamilton Jr. will be the first to admit this has been a very unusual
year regarding the Open Wheel Showdown.
“It’s not necessary for me to be here that early” explains Hamilton Jr. “But
I want everything to be so perfect and continue to grow like it has been. I
go to the racetrack every single day to see what they’re doing, learn, and
meet new people. I am taking notes to see what needs to be done before our
event.
“There’s so much that goes into this one race. Even yesterday I spent two
hours printing probably 2000 different papers and documents that are for the
teams to have. We have contingency decals. So, we had to put together 250
different bags with twenty or so different companies’ stickers in them. It
sounds easy but it takes hours, if not a whole day. And there are so many
banners that need to be hung. I have been doing everything myself. My help
won’t start arriving until Sunday. There is a lot to it, but I take pride in
this event, and I want everything to be perfect with it.
“This has been a weird year. I’ve been dealing with some personal things
that’s made it tough. We have had a lot of people back out as far as helpers
go. Our entire hospitality truck, everybody backed out. The chefs, helpers,
drivers, everybody. Thanks to the Bitnile group they plugged in people to
get it out here.
“The guy who handles my media is dealing with some personal stuff as well.
It’s just been a weird year where there have been problems with people.
We’re still going to make the most of it and see how it goes. It would have
been nice coming into this year with no hiccups.
As the creator of the event, Hamilton Jr. is also a competitor in the winged
sprint car portion of the race. Perhaps nobody wants to win this race more
than Hamilton Jr. himself. He has made no secrets of wanting an Open Wheel
Showdown trophy on his trophy mantle. He finished third in the inaugural
2023 running. But his dreams of an OWS victory might have to be shelved in
2025.
Hamilton Jr. was involved in a very serious accident in a Must See Racing
event at Pensacola, Florida on October 3, 2025. A parts failure sent him
hard into the outside retaining wall. He received a neck injury that forced
him to withdraw from a scheduled INDY NXT test and hasn’t been in a race car
since that crash a month ago. It’s unclear if he will participate in this
year’s race.
“To be honest, there is a concern with me even racing this year. It may not
even happen. Nobody’s gonna know until Thursday, including myself, if I’m
even able to run the event. Regardless, I’m gonna be there as a promotor.
Hopefully I’ll be there as a driver too. If I can’t go as a driver, it’s
gonna be a tough weekend for me. I put my entire life into this event 365
days of the year. I’m gonna get in the car Thursday and make some laps and
see where we’re at.”
When Hamilton Jr. announced the inaugural Open Wheel Showdown in July of
2023, it sent shockwaves through the sport. Never had a pavement sprint car
paid $50,000 to win from a combined purse of over $150,000
That inaugural OWS helped fuel the fire for bigger paying pavement sprint
car races annually. Winged pavement sprint car races paying $10,000 or more
to win are becoming the regular, Hamilton Jr. showed it was possible, and
teams deserved a few bigger paying races throughout the calendar year.
In late September Floridian and current car owner Dick Fieler announced his
intentions to contest four high-paying winged pavement sprint car races in
2026, at four different tracks around the country, with a total purse of
$600,000 using his personal monies. The new "Race for the Million" series
will also include a substantial point fund at the end of the year, announced
at $300,000 for the four races.
Hamilton Jr. has mixed emotions on the new series due to how he feels the
group attempted to ride the coattails of his hard work and blueprint for the
OWS success the past three years.
“I did my event with the sole purpose of giving the pavement guys, who spend
an incredible amount of money and race for so little, a chance to race for
good money. I wanted to show promoters we can race for good money and put on
a good show. I accomplished that.
“I’m excited about this "Race for the Million" series. The only thing I
disagree with is they tried to negotiate a deal to overtake my event at the
exact same location. That would kill me. It’s great and I’m gonna be a
driver in that deal.
“I’ve put all my effort, energy, life, sweat, blood, everything into this
event. To even hear or see that there were conversations of overtaking my
event around the same time frame. I probably would have walked away and
never tried it again. I feel like I’ve taken pride and shown everybody what
it's like to race in a professional atmosphere.
“They tried to negotiate with LVMS to put on an event right before OWS. That
would’ve killed OWS. Not every team has huge funding. Most couldn’t do two
events in Las Vegas within a couple weeks timeframe. I’m so excited its
happening with our sport, but I’m disappointed they even tried to think
about doing that at LVMS.
“I’m thankful someone like Dick (Fieler) is putting up that kind of money.
Unfortunately, the guys he put in charge are Wankers and Clowns and are
using his money one hundred percent. Dick could’ve done a better job of
working with other series and tracks. It’s gonna hurt local tracks and
series. People are gonna be saving their time, energy, and money to spend
$10,000-$20,000 each time to go run these four races. Tires, fuel, hotels,
pit passe, all that stuff. It’s gonna water down your local races. Teams are
gonna basically run five races next year. The Million Dollar Series and my
deal at Las Vegas. But we’ll see.
“I had a talk today with the title sponsor. I already kind of know the
direction of the next few years with the track and multiple sponsors. I’m
not gonna release anything right now. On top of everything I have new
partners. These are people who do way bigger events than I do. They want to
be involved with the event. They’re coming out this year. It’s exciting for
me right now. As soon as Sunday hits, it’s all about next year.” concluded

OUT ON TOP: Justin Whittall concludes 2025 season with
second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph
ByTyler Altmeyer
November 3, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (November 3, 2025) – Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports went out with a bang at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, concluding their 2025 campaign with a second consecutive Dirty Jersey Finale triumph on Saturday, November 1. Whittall, now a two-time winner in 2025, secured a $12,000 payday for his efforts, outperforming the likes of Chase Dietz, Anthony Macri, and Danny Dietrich.
As noted, Whittall is a two-time main event winner in 2025, his first occurring at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” in mid-July.
“Man, what a way to end the year. This team has worked their tails off all season and they deserved this. We’ve been looking forward to the Dirty Jersey Finale since it was announced, and to say that we won this race two years in a row in front of our family and friends is pretty special,” Whittall, driver of the RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, said. “It was a great year. We had our ups and downs, but this made it all worth it. We’ll begin preparations for next year right away.”
With his 2025 American campaign officially complete, Justin Whittall will now switch gears and begin preparations for Down Under, set to rejoin RBH Racing, RBH Group and Turret Engineering for an Australian campaign beginning December 6 at Perth Motorplex. In total, Whittall is scheduled to enter just over 20 events in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which headlined with High Limit Racing International just after Christmas.
“I’m excited to get back to Australia. Ever grateful for this opportunity. Everyone at RBH Racing does such a great job and they make the trip so enjoyable,” Whittall continued. “We’re going to do everything we can to be in the hunt every night. I know we have what it takes to be up front.”

RUMBLE MIDGET TEAMS REACT TO FORMAT CHANGE
Departure from Two Single Nights of Racing to Progressive Format Will Require Strategy
FT. WAYNE, IN (Nov. 2) – Details regarding the restructured format for this year’s Midget program of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales, set for December 19 & 20, have been released and they have triggered reactions from participating teams. Rather than two complete racing programs, with neither having a bearing on the other, this year’s chase on the 1/7-mile purpose built concrete oval inside Fort Wayne’s Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center will see a progressive format, culminating with Saturday’s Burco Molding Race to 100.
The new design has the teams guessing. Joe Liguori, who has won a 50-lap chase each of the past two years, is one of them. “The new format adds a new element to our team’s strategy,” commented the Lebanon, IN veteran. “But we will all be in the same playing field when it comes to strategizing the event, so I am sure it will be exciting for the fans to watch.”
The process begins Friday with single car qualifying runs, which will then split the field into odd/even sets. Each set will stage their own heat races and main event, with points accumulated from every position earned. Those points will then determine the starting line-ups for Saturday’s heat races to finalize the 100-lap finale. As an incentive, the top two finishers from each of Friday’s 30-lap main events will automatically transfer to Saturday’s Burco sponsored Race to 100.
Jim Anderson (Joliet, IL) who has a previous Rumble Midget win to his credit chimed in, “one of the bigger positives that struck out to me is the change promotes consistency. Over the two nights of racing, you will have to be consistent in your efforts to have good finishes to build points.”
Saturday’s headliner is a total of 100 laps, with ‘environmentally friendly’ breaks built in after 35 and 70 laps before the final 30-lap shootout to determine the winner. Mike Fedorcak (Roanoke, IN) also has a Rumble victory to his credit and also cites strategy as being important. “I’m among those that are looking forward to developing a new strategy to compete in the new format. I think it will present new opportunities for racers that normally aren’t front runners and should be exciting for the fans to watch it unfold.”
While new in structure, the Race to 100 is a throwback of sorts to the days of racing on the adjoining Coliseum hockey rink floor. The idea was conceived by Burco Molding’s Randy Burrow (Noblesville, IN) who will be entering 3 cars into the fray. “We need a change; it’s time to stir the pot and go back to 100 laps of feature racing that made history.” Jerry Nuckles (Columbus, OH) who competed in the 100-lappers of the past, now fields a car for his son Bryan. “This could be interesting for the fans, and sure will be different from when I raced for Jim & Mike Streicher. Driver seats with head rests/shoulder support or cars with power steering did not exist in the 1970’s and 80’s. It makes a little easier for today’s drivers, but this format is going to get them on their toes.”
New, challenging and uncertainty will be the key words of the weekend. Previous winner Nick Hamilton (Danville, IN) is up to the challenge. “I’m always excited to continue the tradition of the Rumble while finding new ways to maintain a great show for the fans and a unique weekend of racing for the drivers.” Also expressing interest is Tony Neuenschwander (New Haven, IN) who will be in the field with his son Chris behind the wheel. “We’ve been working on our car, with some new upgrades. The competition has gotten tougher every year, and this should provide some new kinks in the action, so we are urging our fans to come out to witness us test this change.”
Joining the Midgets over the Dec. 19 and 20 weekend will be the LiUNA non-winged and North Baltimore Custom Cuts winged 600cc Midgets, multiple classes of go-karts, BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets and Wedge Karts.

HURRICANE SET TO HIT OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN NEXT WEEKEND
October 31, 2025 – Las Vegas, Nevada - There’s a Hurricane headed straight for the Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by askROI in the form of Jeff “The Hurricane” Montgomery. Montgomery will be one of over 70 pre-entered winged sprint car drivers hoping to stake claim to $50,000 with a win in the November 6-8, 2025, event at the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Montgomery, who hails from Langford Station, British Columbia, Canada is one of a handful of Canadian drivers expected to compete in this year’s event. Montgomery has so far made the A-Main in both times he has competed in the OWS.
As Montgomery returns to this year’s race, he does so with confidence. He is fresh off the 2025 Northwest Sprint Tour championship. In addition, he picked up a win with the series at Penticton, BC, Canada June 7 and set two new track records throughout the season.
The 55-year-old Canadian might be a dark horse in this year’s race, but also someone to watch closely. In 2023 he started on the front row before getting caught up in an early race misfortune. Last year he was running inside the top 10 before he had a tire go low as he was steadily moving through the field to earn the “Hard Charger” Award.
“Last year I got a flat tire in my heat race and had to run the C” remembers Montgomery. I came through the C and B to get into the A and started last (25). At one point I got up to seventh or eighth and had a left front tire going down. I fell back to eleventh. We had some bad luck, but you can’t control that stuff, right? I think we had a car capable of maybe getting inside the top five last year.
“We’ve had some bad luck the past two years there. If we could run in the top five this year, I’d be happy, but I’d like to win it. These guys are the best of the best. There are so many guys capable of winning. You need a bit of luck and some things to fall your way. But I feel like we have a top five car this year.
I really like the Open Wheel Showdown. It’s pretty cool what Davey Hamilton Jr.’s done. It's close to home and everyone from Canada can come down to watch. It's really hyped up as well. We have a car capable of running up front so that makes everything a bit more enjoyable. “I got a good team and car owner in Rob Leighton. He believes in me and gives me everything I need. It’s a long race. You gotta save your equipment the first 50 laps and save your stuff until the end.If we can do that, and get some good luck, we should be there at the end” concluded Montgomery.

Roa Returns to Perris After First Win of the Season
Cypress, CA – October 29, 2025 — This Saturday night, star
USAC/CRA Sprint Car driver Brody Roa returns to Perris Auto Speedway riding
high after scoring his first victory of the year! The action-packed show
presented by Heimark Distributors Anheuser/Busch will see spectator gates
open at 5:00 p.m., with racing starting 30 minutes earlier than usual at
6:30.
The 34-year-old Garden Grove, California, racing veteran notched his long-awaited first win of 2025 two weeks ago, outdistancing the field on the legendary Southern California half-mile clay oval. The triumph marked his 22nd career USAC/CRA victory, placing him fourth all-time since the series’ inception in 2004 — and the winningest active driver in the division today.
Saturday’s event will be Roa’s 13th start of the season, with eight of the previous 12 coming at Perris. Impressively, he’s finished outside the top eight only once — a 17th-place result after being sidelined in a crash. His Perris résumé includes four top-five finishes, highlighted by a third on September 27th and that thrilling win on October 18th. His average main-event finish at the track is a strong 6.5, and an even better 5.0 if you remove the DNF.
“First off, I have to thank my dad and Uncle B,” an emotional Roa told fans after his long-awaited victory. “I have felt like a turd all day. Every time I came off the track, I went into the trailer and went to sleep. Ricky (leader Ricky Lewis, who was taken out by a crash) had us covered, but you have to be there at the end — and we did it. It’s pretty cool just to be up there with those guys and pick one off.”
After this Saturday’s show, Roa and his brilliant green #91R team will be back in action one week later when USAC/CRA wraps up its 2025 season at Perris on November 8th.
Saturday’s tickets are $35.00 for fans age 13 and up. For seniors 65 and over, it is $30.00. Kids 6 – 12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20.00 (parking payment is by card only). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. The track website is www.perrisautospeedway.com and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

Swedesboro, NJ – Promoters Doug Rose and Danny Dietrich have announced a schedule change for this weekend’s Dirty Jersey Finale presented by Better Contracting Services, NY.

Starks Highlights Season With Two More Championships and Marquee Victories
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Oct. 28, 2025) – The 2025 season was another banner year for Trey Starks, who reached the double-digit wins mark and garnered multiple championships for the second straight season.
Starks posted 10 feature triumphs, including a division-best five victories in the 410ci winged sprint car class and a division-best five wins in the 360ci winged sprint car class at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash.
That led to Starks becoming the first driver in 25 years and only the second person ever to win both the 410 and 360 track championships in the same season at Skagit Speedway.
It marked the fourth consecutive season Starks has won the 410 track title, earning the owner’s championship each of those four years and the driver’s championship each of those years except in 2023. It was also the second straight year that Starks captured the 360 track title. That gives him six total track championships in the last four years.
“There’s a lot of history with Skagit Speedway and I feel like when you look back at the champions there’s been many eras,” he said. “Skagit has taken on a different form throughout the last few years. In the 15 years I’ve been racing, this time is quite arguably the most competitive it’s ever been so to be as strong as we’ve been is really special.”
In addition to the championships, Starks highlighted the season by becoming the first driver to win both the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup and the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew in the same season. It was his first career Super Dirt Cup triumph and his third 360 Nationals victory in the last four years.
“Especially at Dirt Cup, we’ve been in contention many, many times,” he said. “Dirt Cup, like all races with a difficult format and high car counts, a lot of times you can be very fast and not have anything to show for it at the end of the weekend. That’s been us many times. This year we were prepared. We had speed and put ourselves in the correct position. Then we were able to capitalize on it. After so many years when something has gone wrong, to be able to put it all together and have something to show for it is really, really cool.”
Also of note, Starks won two features on the same night at Skagit Speedway for the third straight season and he captured the Skagit Speedway 410 season opener for the third year in a row. Starks was also victorious during the final points race in both the 410 and 360 divisions at his home track.
“I think this season is one of the more special ones for a few reasons,” he said. “First and foremost, Dirt Cup highlights the whole year. It’s arguably the highlight of my entire career just because of what the race itself means to me. You could say last year the back-to-back High Limit wins were pretty close, but Dirt Cup being a race I’ve been trying to win since 2010 and grew up watching, it was really special to knock that one off. To be the only driver to win Dirt Cup and 360 Nationals in the same year and the first one in 25 years to win both championships in the same season, there’s tons of highlights and headlines this year. For me, to know that we still have speed and are really competitive and successful on the biggest stage was rewarding. With the competition at Skagit getting tougher every year, it’s more difficult to achieve seasons like this. For us to put it all together is really cool for me because realistically a season like this will be a lot tougher as the years roll on. To etch my name in the history books of not only Skagit but the racing in the Northwest is special.”
SEASON STATS –
36 races, 10 wins, 22 top fives, 26 top 10s, 30 top 15s, 32 top 20s

The series will then head to Cordele Motor Speedway in Cordele, Georgia the following evening May 9. It will be the first-ever visit by MSR to the 3/8 facility. It has also been since July 20, 2013, that winged sprint cars last raced there. Brian Gingras won that event nearly thirteen years ago.
Both early season events will pay $5,000 to win and $700 to start each night.
Next up will be a return to Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on Saturday June 6. Berlin has hosted an MSR event every year since its formation in 2010 and is the oldest track on the schedule. This event will be Round #1 of the Fast Car Dash miniseries. A separate points fund will give teams a chance to earn extra money by competing in the Fast Car Dash miniseries.
This event will be just three days after the new Million Dollar Series event at nearby Owosso Speedway. This event will give out-of-town teams the chance to compete with MSR as there will be a good number of out-of-town cars in the area. A huge field of cars is expected.
The final round of the Fast Car Dash will be contested at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan for the only visit to Owosso Speedway in 2026 on Saturday July 11. Kody Swanson picked up $10,000 after winning the August 31 event at the 3/8-high banked speedway on August 31.
There is a TBA announced date of August 7-8 on the schedule. Series officials announced details of these dates will be announced soon, once details have been finalized.
The 2026 season will conclude on October 1-2. The series
will make a return visit to Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on
Friday night October 1 before wrapping up the weekend at Montgomery Motor
Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama the following evening. Both events will be
part of the 2nd annual Southern Shootout. Bobby Santos III swept the
Southern Shootout in 2025.
Additional details pertaining to the 2026 schedule will be announced in the
coming weeks. Like and follow us on Facebook or visit www.mustseeracing.com.
HUMPHRIES OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN CHANCES
October 28, 2025 – Las Vegas, Nevada - Chowchilla, California’s Eric Humphries is eagerly looking forward to next weekend’s Bitnile.Com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by askROI. If things go the way Humphries anticipate they go, he could be battLing for the $50,000 first place prize money.
Humpries is no stranger to winged asphalt sprint car racing. He’s been good, really good. He is a three-time King of the Wing National champion. He has won multiple times with the series over the years. At times, he’s been downright dominant.
But the last couple of years he’s focused on winged dirt sprint car racing and his family. He’s put focus on being a dad and helping his children with the different sports they have recently pursued.
“I think I’m going into the Open Wheel Showdown with 12-13 shows under my belt. That’s the most I’ve run on pavement the last few years” explained Humphries. “What ended up happening is I got heavily involved in baseball with my oldest kid” explained the 39-year-old Humphries. “He made the all-star team, and I became the all-star coach. I didn’t even get going until May because of all of that.
“We took a year off about two years ago. I had to focus on the family business. Being a dad is what happened to me as well. I’ve been going racing with my boys and working on the family business. I’m pretty much retired from dirt. I feel to be good on dirt you gotta race 30-40 times a year. I can’t do that anymore with being a dad, racing with my boys, and enjoying life. But I feel like I’m better on the asphalt. It’s second nature to me.
“I feel good about our equipment and where we’re at, as a team. I think we size up good against the guys who are coming. But that’s a tall order to win the thing. We’re gonna do what we can to be there at the end. It’s such a long race. It’s 100 laps. You can be fast the first 50, but it’s the last 50 that matters.”
Humphries returned in a big way in 2025. He has won twice with Speed Tour including a win in the $10,000 Pink Lady Classic at Meridian (ID) Speedway in September. Many of the same drivers he will face off against at the Open Wheel Showdown were at the Pink Lady Classic. He also won a non-wing race with NCMA at the Harvest Classic at Madera Speedway.
“I took a couple of years off and stayed quiet. But we updated all our stuff. We are in a different car now. We got a Grip Chassis. But we still got our BEAST stuff. We’ve updated our motor program. My brother is still very much a part of the crew chief side of things for our Harvest Supply Racing Team. I got Jeff Gardner with Rev Con Suspension with us now. Our program is good right now.
“There are so many people making this happen this year. Harvest Supply, TBM Brakes, RevCon Suspension, Royal’s Welding, RDM Deisel, IRM Inc., car owners Carl and Dennis Mott, and Dennis Boulding. My crew guys Scott, Tony, Jeff, and Clinton. A lot of people are behind this deal.”
Humpries finished in the top 10 in the inaugural OWS. He
finished fifth last year and feels a win, or at the very least, a top 3.
“We have a lot of momentum going into the Open Wheel Showdown. It’s going to
be a tall order to win it. There are gonna be so many good drivers there. I
love this race. You got the best of the best in the country. Where We’re at
now, I feel good about another top five. But I think we’ll be contending for
a win” concluded Humphries.
Dover Eager for Return to Short Track Nationals to Start Final Month of Season
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 28, 2025) – Jack Dover is down to his final month of the racing season.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver plans to compete the next four weekends in four different states to wrap up the 2025 campaign. It will mark his first time at each of the four tracks on the schedule.
“It should be a pretty exciting month,” Dover said. “We get to travel and go to tracks I’ve never raced at. That’s always interesting. I’m excited to see if we can wrap up the year strong. As the year has gone on we’ve gotten better so I’m looking forward to seeing how we do.”
The action begins this Friday and Saturday at Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Ark., during the 38th annual Short Track Nationals. It’s his first time competing at the Short Track Nationals – an event that was founded at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., and recently moved to Texarkana 67 Speedway – since 2015.
“My goal is a top 10,” he said. “At Short Track Nationals the key was always to survive. If this is anything like how the event was then we’ll do our best to avoid any trouble and move forward.”
From Arkansas, Dover and the team will head to Texas to compete on Nov. 7-8 with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.
On Nov. 14-15, Dover plans to race at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M., before the season concludes Nov. 21-22 at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande, Ariz., with the POWRi Desert Sprint Car Series.
“I’m really excited for Vado and Central Arizona,” he said. “Doing that southern swing is something I enjoy. We’ve done that a couple of years at other tracks down there in the past and it’s kind of like a vacation while you’re racing.”
SEASON STATS –
45 races, 2 wins, 15 top fives, 22 top 10s, 27 top 15s, 31 top 20s

Halloween showdown wraps up SCCT season at Stockton Dirt Track Friday
By Gary Thomas
Stockton, CA…What started in March will conclude this Friday when the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour tackles the Stockton Dirt Track to open the 42nd annual Tribute to Gary Patterson on Halloween.
The event has morphed back into a double header weekend with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour and West Coast Pro Stocks launching things on Friday October 31st.
Kids 12 and under wearing a costume will receive free admission in the stands on Halloween. Teams are also encouraged to bring candy for a Trick or Treat in the pit area following the races.
Saturday November 1st will then showcase the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, the California Midget Super Series and Dwarf Cars. Plenty of camping is available on the fairgrounds for those who want to make a weekend out of it at the Tribute to Gary Patterson.
“Everyone with Noceti Group is looking forward to GP weekend this Friday and Saturday,” said Stockton Dirt Track Promoter Tony Noceti. “We continue doing work on this track to try and give teams the best possible surface. Back in March it was dialed in a little more and I feel that we should have two great nights of racing to finish off the championships.”
The Shop Kyle Larson SCCT main event will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start during the Halloween night spectacular. It marks the first event at the Stockton Dirt Track for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since last season.
Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track.
“We are excited for Stockton on Friday and will be looking to have a solid night,” commented Wood. “My team and all our supporters have helped put us in this position heading into the SCCT finale. It would mean a lot to become the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour champion.”
Yuba City’s Seth Standley will also be looking for a strong night to finish out the SCCT season. The 19-year-old holds down second in the standings and is 57-points back of Wood. Montana’s Cole Schroeder, SCCT Western Sprint Tour champion Max Mittry and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes round out the top five.
Brentwood’s Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Marysville’s Carson Hammes and Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi complete the top 10 heading into the Stockton Dirt Track.
Known as the “Dancing Phantom from Stockton,” the “Preacher,” the “Hostile Hippie” or just simply “GP,” Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others.
Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. “GP” moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we’ve paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.

has won on three occasions this year. He finished runner-up in the Northwest
Sprint Tour championship and ended up third in the Must See Racing
championship. This was a successful season by any account.
But in Willison’s eyes, it was mediocre. Last year alone he led the country
with twelve total feature victories with no less than six different
sanctioning bodies. He was also the NST champion and finished as the #2
ranked driver in the National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings. A win in this
year’s Open Wheel Showdown would salvage the season as being successful for
Willison.
“We had a great car all year. Lots of great speed everywhere we went” stated
Willison. “But it was just one of those years. We kept getting caught up in
little issues. Got run into, run over, run over things, everything under the
sun. In 2024 it seemed like everything went right. This year everything that
could go wrong did go wrong. It’s one of those deals. You take the good with
the bad. A win in the Open Wheel Showdown, or at the very least a good run
there, would feel good on the year.”
Willison is one of only two drivers to have finished on the podium at the
Open Wheel Showdown each of the previous two seasons. Willson finished third
in last year’s event.
“This year, just like the last couple years, you hear all these stories
going into it about this star driver, this star crew chief, this person, and
that person putting deals together for this race. When it all shakes out on
Saturday night, it’s always the regular guys who run well all over the
country that end up on the front straight there. It’s been an honor to have
been there both times and I’m proud of it.
Just like the previous two seasons, Willison is taking preparation for the
Open Wheel Showdown seriously.
“It’s the same as the last couple of years. The bulk of it is you come with
a fresh motor, fresh rear end, fresh shocks, and fresh brakes. You go
through the car from top to bottom. You don’t just pull across the country
and go to a race of this level with stuff that’s got a bunch of time on it.
"The Rendle Brothers Racing team is coming with our best foot forward. We
got a fresh motor I’m really happy with I think we’re gonna bring a great
product out there again. I Can’t wait to get back to Las Vegas” concluded
Willison.
United Sprint League now under new ownership
By John Rittenoure - TULSA, Okla. (October 27, 2025) - It
was not an easy decision to make, but Michael Tyre has sold the United
Sprint League to Nick and Ashley Newton of Oklahoma City.
Nick operates Ortco, Inc. which has been the title sponsor
of USL for the past two years, and the Newton’s also own the sprint car
driven by 2025 USL champion Tanner Conn.
Tyre has worked tirelessly over the past two seasons to
rebuild non-wing sprint car racing in Oklahoma and felt the time was right
for someone to take it to the next level.
“It was a very hard decision to make after so many years,”
said Tyre, who will remain involved with USL through the 2025 banquet. “I
was race director with USL for four years and owned it for two years. I just
feel like it is the right time.
“I am very proud of what we’ve accomplished with the series
and how it’s grown. The people we’ve had helping, working at the track, the
sponsors, drivers, I mean, everybody involved has been a huge part of what
the series has become.”
Tyre feels USL is in a good position now and ready for
someone with more resources to continue what he started.
“Nick and I have been talking off and on for a year about
what the future of USL would be like,” Tyre said. “Nick and Ortco, Inc.’s
contribution to USL started at the beginning of me and Jennifer owning it
and he has always wanted to be a part of the future of USL. So the timing
works out with him wanting to carry the torch and maybe take it further than
I have the time or resources to do.
“When we decided to do this, non-wing racing was in a bit of
an uncertain place and the goal was to help non-wing racing to have a place
here in Oklahoma and a good foundation to move forward on. It takes a lot of
work, time and effort and it is hard to keep up with. We accomplished goals
for the series to make non-wing stable and I feel like it is just time.
“I miss the other side of racing. I want to get back in the
car more.”
Tyre is very thankful for the support he received the past
two years.
“I just want to say thanks to everyone, especially my wife
for allowing me to take this on and make something that we can be proud of,”
he said. “I am so thankful for everyone that’s been involved.”
After working closely with Tyre the past two years Ashley
and Nick felt they were ready to step into the role of series ownership.
“Working with Tyre the past two years I feel it (non-wing
racing) has gotten better around here and I want to keep it going,” Nick
Newton said. “He was ready to get out and do more family things and I was in
a position to do it.
“I always wanted to do it,” Ashley Newton said. “Last year I
presented trophies, and this year Michael took a chance on me and let me do
the marketing for the series, so I am pretty excited to step into this role
and see what we can do with the non-wing racing,”
Running the series will be a team effort between Nick and
Ashley.
“Nick plans on making the calls on the track, and I’m going
to handle everything else with the series, the marketing, scheduling of
races, sponsorships and all of that,” Ashley said. “One of the biggest
things that we’re trying to do for 2026 is to get the purse increased. That
is my number one goal.
“And we got to get connected more to the fans and, you know,
even the kids. There is not a lot of new generation coming into it.”
As a series owner Newton realizes some may have concerns of
conflict should he continue to be a car owner.
“Right now that is up in the air,” Nick said of his
involvement as a team owner. “If I did race it I would’t be connected to it
while I’m at the racetrack, because I think it is a conflict of interest. So
its up in the air right now.
“If someone wants to race the car they would have to get it
ready and t take care of it. People of done it, I can still own the car and
it be there as long as I don’t touch it and try to work on it.”
Very few changes, if any, are planed in the nightly race
format.
“I don’t feel like there was a lot broken with the series,”
said Nick. “I don’t plan to change the format. I feel like everything went
pretty well. Michael laid it out well. We had some close finishes. I don’t
feel any changes need to happen.”
A drivers, owners, meeting is planned to get input from the
teams prior to the 2026 season.
“I plan to have a meeting with any of the people that are
going to run USL so I can have their input on things,” Nick said. “Racing
kind of needs to get back to the niche of like being a family again.”
“We just want to grow it and make it fun again.”

It’s Clicking Now: Ross Poised for Strong Finish to 2025
Abbottstown, PA – October 23, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Three weeks ago at Williams Grove’s National Open, Tyler Ross and Ross Racing solved a challenge that had plagued the team most of the season. As a result, he scored a 13th-place finish in the prestigious event. More importantly, it boosted confidence and morale.
Less than one week later, Ross prepared for two more rounds with the World of Outlaws, hoping to continue the newfound momentum.
GAME OF INCHES
The two-race weekend against the PA Posse’s longtime foe, the Outlaws, kicked off on neutral turf at New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey.
After a respectable qualifying run and heat race finish, Ross started 15th in the 30-lap A-main.
Just a few laps into the race, Ross had surged inside the top ten before it all unraveled. On an early restart, he hopped the right rear of another car and ended up at the back of the field.
“Our results don’t show the speed we had. The guys gave me a really good car. I really feel we had a solid top-ten car if not for the contact on the restart,” a disappointed Ross said.
LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS
Ross was looking forward to taking on the touring series at his weekly home, Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania.
The Lincoln University, PA driver qualified 11th in his flight, then looked to move forward from his heat race starting spot outside row three. In close quarters on the start, Ross got a piece of another car’s right rear tire. It was enough to upset the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service / Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5, and drop him to the back of the field. Recovering the lost track position proved to be difficult with a narrow racing groove.
Ross utilized a track provisional to join the field for the 35-lap feature, taking the green flag from the 26th starting spot.
He wasted no time, racing his way to 16th by lap thirteen. Ross went on to pass a total of thirteen cars to finish 13th. It was a stellar recovery from a disappointing start to the night.
“Man, I would have liked to have seen what we would have been able to do with a better starting spot,” a smiling Ross said of the bittersweet finish.
“That was the first time we brought the white car here this year, and I felt extremely comfortable in the feature.”
STRONG FINISH
Ross returned to Lincoln Speedway over the recent weekend for the track’s season finale, dubbed the “Final 50”, and he came out of the gate strong, qualifying 6th quickest and taking his 5th heat race win of the season.
From his 4th row starting spot in the extra-distance main event, Ross held his ground in the back half of the top ten throughout the first half of the race.
Just after the halfway point, Ross fought his way into 6th and continued to press forward, cracking the top five and holding down the position for the final three circuits to secure his 8th top-five and 19th top-ten of the 2025 season.
“I’m very pleased with our night. We were okay in the feature, just couldn’t get going good enough before the rubber came in. The car was good, it’s just tough redrawing a 7 and trying to drive to the front with other fast cars,” Ross commented on his night.
Ross has three races remaining on his 2025 schedule, beginning at BAPS Motor Speedway this Saturday. The following weekend he will make the short trip to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in NJ for the Dirty Jersey Finale. The final outing of the year will be November 15th at BAPS.
“I hope we can just keep this going and finish strong with top-fives or podium finishes. We want to end the year on a high note and start the rebuild for next year with a solid foundation,” Ross said.
Fans can follow Ross Racing on Facebook for the latest schedule updates and other news.

Free admission for kids 12 and under in costume on October 31 at Stockton Dirt Track
By Gary Thomas
Stockton, CA…With the Tribute to Gary Patterson fast approaching the Stockton Dirt Track is pleased to announce there will be free admission in the stands for kids 12 and under wearing a costume during the Friday opener on Halloween.
A Trick or Treat is also planned after the races in the pit area and teams are encouraged to bring candy for the youngsters as they make their way around the trailers.
The Friday October 31st event marks championship night for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The traveling Winged 360 Sprint Car Series has competed up and down the West Coast this year, from as far south as Tulare and as far north as Skagit Speedway in Washington.
Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track.
Yuba City’s Seth Standley, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Redding’s Max Mittry and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes round out the top five in the standings.
“We look forward to finishing off the Sprint Car Challenge Tour season on Halloween night at the Stockton Dirt Track,” commented tour President Scott Russell. “Thank you to Tony Noceti and his team for allowing free admittance to kids 12 and under in costume. Hopefully everyone will come out and help us wrap up the SCCT season in style.”
The Halloween special will also be the season finale for both the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars and the West Coast Pro Stocks.
One night later the championship finals continue with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, the BCRA/WMR Midget Super Series and Dwarf Cars on Saturday November 1st. Hanford’s DJ Netto holds the NARC 410 point lead going into their next event this weekend.
Known as the “Dancing Phantom from Stockton,” the “Preacher,” the “Hostile Hippie” or just simply “GP,” Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others.
Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. “GP” moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we’ve paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.
Tickets for both nights can be purchased at the gate or online via www.stocktondirttrack.com
The Stockton Dirt Track is a quarter mile clay oval located on the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton, California. The physical address is 1658 S Airport Way, Stockton, CA 95206.
Tanner Holmes Battles to Exciting Trophy Cup Feature
Event Win
PETERSEN MEDIA- Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports
didn’t quit despite having a tough first two nights of the Trophy Cup. Not
sitting where they wanted in points, they focused on racing into the show on
Saturday night, and after transferring through the ‘B’, Holmes went toe to
toe with Levi Hillier and Spencer Bayston to claim the Saturday night
feature event victory.
“It was a bit of a tough first two nights for our race
team,” Tanner Holmes said. “We qualified really well, but we just didn’t
quite have the Trophy Cup luck we needed to race to the front so, our points
just weren’t there.”
Lining up in the second row of his Saturday night heat race
aboard the Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales
backed No. 21 entry, Holmes worked his way to a third-place finish.
Still not in the Top 18 for event points, Holmes lined up in
the second row of the ‘B’, with six transfers into the feature event up for
grabs. Racing his way to a second-place finish, the Jacksonville, OR driver
was locked into the 50-lap feature event where he took the green flag from
the outside of the second row.
On the slick feature event surface, Holmes worked his way
into third in the opening laps, and then was into second on the ninth lap
when the earlier leader ran into issues.
Slipping back on the ensuing restart as he chased after Levi
Hillier, Holmes fell back to sixth on the 11th lap but was able to get back
up on the thick cushion that had built up and back into fourth on the 13th
lap, before moving back into third on lap 16.
Racing back into second just before the race’s halfway
point, Holmes closed in on Hillier as they raced hard and reached the back
of the field.
Getting into the race lead on the 27th lap, the red flew and
allowed teams to re fuel and make adjustments for the final half of the
race.
Nailing the restart and powering his way away from the
field, Holmes set a strong pace though, behind him Spencer Bayston was
reeling him in.
On the 46th lap, Bayston was able to driver around Holmes in
traffic and drop him back to second, but Holmes didn’t go away. Continuing
to battle, Holmes returned the favor on the 49th lap and went on to pick up
the popular feature event win.
“When I saw Bayston get by, I knew it had to push it harder
with time running out,” Holmes said. “Luckily I was able to pace him, and
then coming to the white a hole opened up and I was able to capitalize and
get the Tarlton Motorsports another win in Tulare, CA. A huge thanks to
everyone on our team for all of their hard work as well as to the Tarlton
family for their continued support.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 25, Wins: 4, Top 5’s: 9, Top 10’s: 13

return to action for the NARC finale on November 1st in Stockton, CA.

Dominic Scelzi Rallies for Third-Place Finish in Final Trophy Cup Standings
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Oct. 22, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi produced another successful Trophy Cup, finishing third in overall points out of more than 50 competitors during the marquee event at Thunderbowl Raceway last weekend.
Scelzi kicked off the 31st edition of the three-day event last Thursday.
“We qualified third in our group and went eighth to fourth in the heat race,” he said. “That gave us good points and lined us up ninth in the main event. At one point we got to sixth and were right behind fourth and fifth. A car half spun in front of us and we had to lift. I lost two spots and ran there until the end when I picked up one more spot to run seventh.”
That was the preliminary night the team used as Friday’s program featured Scelzi timing in 12th quickest in his group before placing fifth in a heat race, sixth in the B Main and 24th in the A Main.
A run from seventh to fifth place in a heat race on Saturday lined Scelzi up 17th in the 50-lap main event that was fully inverted.
“I felt we were in a good position,” he said. “My only concern was if guys fall out or pull off it gives free spots to the guys starting on the back row. That’s what really hurt us as several cars didn’t finish. I didn’t know where the other guys with higher points than I had were, but knowing we got to fifth by the end of the race felt good. That’s usually a place where I thought that’d be enough for us, but it wasn’t quite enough to win.”
Scelzi charged from 17th to fifth place, which was the third-most positions gained in the race. He finished third in the final standings – only 12 points out of the lead.
“I’m happy with the performance,” he said. “You want to win it, but I felt we did everything we possibly could have to create the best outcome. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. I think just being a little better in the main event on the first preliminary night was the only place we could have improved.”
Scelzi plans to compete this Saturday at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif., during the October Classic with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. He placed third during this race last year.

Lattomus Makes First National Main With High Limit
Racing, Logs Top Ten in Lincoln’s Final 50
Abbottstown, PA – October 22, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus battled through an end-of-summer slump and bounced back by checking off a career first.
The momentum continued with a top ten finish last weekend in the longest A-main of his rookie 410 sprint car campaign.
The young Delaware product is looking to keep it rolling over the coming weeks as he closes out his first season at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Lattomus closed out September by joining the High Limit Racing series at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in New Jersey. In his first visit to the high-banked, 4-tenths mile oval, he overcame a disappointing qualifying lap by fighting his way through the B-main to make his first national touring series feature event. Unfortunately, the event was cut short when rain came after lap ten, stealing his opportunity to move forward in the A-main.
“Making our first national series feature at Bridgeport was a very cool moment for me, even though it got cut short by the weather,” Lattomus shared.
“I love Bridgeport as a racetrack, and I call it my home track because I’ve been going there my whole life to watch national touring races. It’s always been the closest track to us to have those races.”
Two weeks later, Lattomus backed up the accomplishment by duplicating the achievement against the World of Outlaws at New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey on his first visit in a 410 sprint car. He brought home a 20th-place finish.
“Both series were a privilege to race with and I’m excited to race with them again,” Lattomus said.
BIG REBOUND
Lattomus returned to more familiar turf on October 11th, once again taking on the World of Outlaws, this time at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA. A poor qualifying lap put the Lewes, DE driver in a hole he could not dig out of, ending his night short of the A-main.
The following Saturday, Lattomus and team returned to Lincoln Speedway to wrap up the speedway’s season in the Final 50 event. They brought back the same car they raced the week before against the Outlaws, a car that the team has struggled with recently.
On this night, it was a different story. Adjustments led to a good qualifying lap, 5th in his flight. Lattomus followed it up with a heat race podium, then charged from 11th to 7th in the 50-lap finale to record his 5th top-ten of the season.
“Our last two Saturdays were in the PA car. We finally made progress on it, and we put together a good night. The qualifying lap set us up for the 50-lapper,” Lattomus commented.
WRAPPING IT UP
Lattomus will wrap up his season in the coming weeks. The next two weekends are set in stone with a possible third race in mid-November.
“We will be at BAPS (Motor Speedway) this weekend, and we are running Bridgeport (Motorsports Park) at the end of the month. The November BAPS race is tentative, depending on the weather,” Lattomus shared.
“BAPS is a track we haven’t had much time on this year due to weather and mechanical problems, but the last feature we ran there, we had great speed. I can’t wait to get back to Bridgeport. I really like the track. I love racing there.”
Lattomus has diligently worked through the challenges and learning curve of his first 410 sprint car season, and as he approaches the conclusion of his rookie season, his optimism and growing confidence are apparent.

SOS ANNOUNCES LS ENGINE OPTION
ST. MARYS, Ont. (October 21, 2025) - In an effort to make 360 Sprint Car racing in Southern Ontario more affordable, the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) will be allowing a spec General Motors (GM) LS-3 racing engine for the 2026 racing season. The engine will feature an aluminum block and heads and - based on current pricing - will have an out-the-door maximum cost of $26,000 CAD. This engine is not meant to make obsolete or replace the current 360 engine program already in place; it is to allow teams a lower-cost alternative to compete at the 360 level.
The target for the engine will be 640 horsepower; while that is shy of the current 700-plus horsepower engines, it is expected that the LS engine’s 75-pound weight advantage will offset most of the power differential. The engine will utilize aftermarket components in several areas, but will use an aluminum block and cylinder heads as supplied from GM. To ease the transition for any interested 602 Crate Sprint Car teams, the engine has been designed to use the same Holley carburetor and fuel pump system that is in current use in the Crate division.
A prototype engine has been developed by DSE Performance and successfully run in late-season competition by Jamie Turner. In its first race with the Ontario Traditional Sprints series, Turner finished second in the feature event. In its only SOS race at Merrittville on Oct 4, Jamie started 25th with the engine and had advanced four positions when brake issues halted the team after eight laps.
The three leading Sprint Car engine builders in Ontario are all involved in the rules package development. This group includes DSE Performance, Leitch Performance Engines, and Klotz Engine Machine Shop - these will be the only accredited LS engine builders. The majority of the rules package has been finalized but - in an effort to maximize horsepower with no cost impact and to ensure parts availability - some work has yet to be completed.
Since the project’s beginning, we have kept in contact with Ohsweken Speedway management and made them aware of the engine’s development. In return, Ohsweken track management has stated that they will allow the engine to compete in their 360 Sprint Car events, with Brighton Speedway on board as well.
We will keep you informed of any further developments and a finalized rules package in the next few weeks. Please contact Peter Turford at pturford@southernontariosprints.com for more information.

ROOKIE HAS LOFTY EXPECTATIONS FOR OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN
October 21, 2025 - Las Vegas, Nevada - A quick look at the Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown Presented by askROI winged sprint car entry list reveals a little-known driver from Brighton, Colorado. Adam Hilton has officially filed an entry and plans to participate in his very first OWS at the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway November 6-8.
Hilton’s story is an intriguing one. There’s a reason fans may be unfamiliar with him. He’s a rookie. And when we say rookie, he’s a rookie in every sense.
The OWS has quickly become the biggest pavement sprint car race in the entire country in terms of total car count and prize money. Teams annually migrate from all over the country in hopes of taking home the $50,000 first place prize money. Every driver has self-imposed goals of what they hope to accomplish during the weekend in Las Vegas. Hilton is no different.
The 42-year-old Hilton might have the toughest job ahead of him compared to others. Not only is he a sprint car rookie, but he only has five career starts dating back to last season, and they have all come at Colorado National Speedway in Dacono, Colorado.
What he lacks in track time and set-up experience, he more than makes up for it with enthusiasm, passion, and lofty goals.
His love for sprint cars began as a kid in 1995.
“I was riding my bicycle as a kid in 1995. This guy in my neighborhood, Craig Shaeffer, started his sprint car down the street by my house” remembers Hilton. “I chased that thing with my bicycle. I ended up being on his ASCS championship team in 1996 after that. I wasn’t more than ten or eleven years old.”
After a career that included super stocks and late models, Hilton bought a sprint car in 2024.
“After a late model race a couple years ago. I was having a beer with Cris Muhler. He was telling me about this new non-wing sprint car series that was starting. He said I’ll sell you that sprint car in my back yard for $4,000. A guy I was crewing on a late model for had an all-aluminum engine sitting in the shop. He told me to take it and put it in the car. The whole thing just started coming together from there even though we didn’t race that car.”
“Then a friend of mine, Steve Lacy’s dad, had a sprint car. He had the passion to race again but Steve didn’t have the passion to drive again. Low and behold enough people came together and purchased the BEAST for me that they had for sale.
In a career that has so far included only four winged shows at CNS, he proudly points out he has made the A-main all four times with fields of nearly 30 cars.
“My third time out was a non-wing race at the same track. I got quick time. I was second in my heat race. In the feature event I was taking the lead and spun out. I got a flat, spun out, and couldn’t get it fixed. Made both A-mains gain this year at CNS during the fourth of July weekend.”
Now Hilton prepares to take on a field of some of the best winged pavement sprint car drivers in the country in a little over two weeks.
“This sprint car venture has kind of given me a drive in life and rejuvenated my passion for racing. Driving a sprint car has always been on my bucket list. I’ve always dreamed of doing this and its happening.
“When I told everybody I wanted to do Las Vegas, everyone pretty much told me its way above where we’re at. I said, ‘who says I can’t do it’. I looked at the roster and thought I’ve raced ahead of a lot of these guys already. I’m no Aaron Willison but I’ve already beaten a bunch of these guys. I’ve never driven a lap on the “Bullring” but I’ve watched races there.
“Steve Lacy has helped me acquire some pieces and components for the car. I think we now have something I can make the main event with.
“My goal is to make the A-main, which I feel I can. But the racer in me wants to go out and win it. I know I’ll have my work cut out for me and this won’t be an easy task. but the competitive part of me likes challenges. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I’ve had so many people step up and make this happen. If it wasn’t for these folks, I wouldn’t be going to Las Vegas. Custom Linings, Blue Ribbon Trophies, Colorado Imaging, Millenium Concrete Cutting, GTI Golf Carts, Uptown Speed Shop, Accublast, RAW Racing, Buckeye Welding, I.M.M., NBQ Motorsports, and many friends and family have donated countless hours to make this all possible.”
You must appreciate the hunger, passion, and drive Hilton exhibits. You can’t help but wanna pull for this rookie with odds stacked against him. If things go the way Hilton would like in Las Vegas, he may not be under the radar much longer.

Dover Preparing for Atomic Speedway Debut This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Jack Dover is bound for Ohio this weekend to tackle a doubleheader at Atomic Speedway.
The high-banked oval in Chillicothe hosts a two-day show running Friday and Saturday.
“The furthest East I’ve raced is Eldora and this is my second time going that far East,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “It’s something new, another new track on my list. There’s a good payout, too. I’m excited for the challenge of a new track and getting to meet some new Ohio fans.
“With those guys, if we can go out there and run in the top 10 it’s a very good weekend. Our goal is to win, but you have to have realistic expectations and a top 10 this weekend would be stellar.”
Dover last competed on Oct. 10-11 at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., during the Heart of America Showdown with Kubota High Limit Racing. He made the main event during the opening night before ending in the B Main the following night.
“Our results don’t show we were good, but we had speed,” he said. “We went out last in our qualifying group and the track was definitely getting slower, but we still were 11th quick on the Saturday show. In the heat race I made a mistake and fell back a couple of positions. Then in the B Main the track was really fast so it was tough to move forward. You have to be on point and not make any mistakes when racing with a national series. We learned from the weekend and are excited for our next challenge this weekend in Ohio.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 10 – Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. – Qualifying: 12; Heat race: 6 (6); B Main: 3 (6); Feature: 24 (23).

Kaleb Johnson Earns First Career Top 10 in Central Pennsylvania
Inside Line Promotions – ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson captured his first career top-10 result racing with the PA Posse last Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.
“With the weather forecast for the World of Outlaws and Lincoln making an effort to get in the make-up feature we decided that was the best option for our team to race last weekend,” the Team DGRD driver said. “I think it went all right. It felt good to get a top 10.”
Johnson lined up 13th for the make-up feature of an event that rained out last month.
“I avoided three wrecks on the initial start so that put me in a good spot,” he said. “I felt a lot more comfortable. The track got pretty slick and was around the top. I think I was up to eighth or so after those early crashes. We went single file. I got by a guy and rolled around the top. It was a little tough to pass. You had to be super technical. I ended up getting passed with a couple to go for seventh. It was good to kinda be close to the front because our Pennsylvania swing had been a struggle.”
Johnson’s eighth-place result was his 26th top 10 of the season.
He qualified 11th quickest in his group and advanced a position to place fifth in a heat race to lock into the night’s final feature, in which he ended 16th.
“I was able to get a good initial start in the heat race,” he said. “We got to fifth and stayed there for the rest of the race. It was good to lock into the feature and not have to run the B Main.
“We rolled around 16th or 17th most of the feature. A few guys dropped out and I got passed by a few. It was good to go 50 laps. We struggled to find grip on the slick track so it was a good night of learning.”
Johnson will take the next two weeks off before ending the season Nov. 5-8 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C., during the World of Outlaws World Finals with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Oct. 17 – Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa. – Qualifying: 11; Heat race: 5 (6); Feature: 16 (17); Make-up feature: 8 (13).

Starks Garners Top 10 in Trophy Cup Standings Despite Adversity
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Trey Starks pieced together a strong performance throughout the 31st annual Trophy Cup.
Starks overcame adversity to finish eighth in the standings out of more than 50 drivers who tackled the marquee event at Thunderbowl Raceway last weekend.
“We did wreck some stuff, but all things considered it wasn’t that bad,” he said. “We crashed on Friday and pulled a new car down. It hurt the car in the most minimal way it could. We were kind of struggling with that car anyway so we pulled the car down from upstairs and it seemed to be better.
“Ironically, we had success in the 360s this year, but we struggled with that 360 car all year. We had speed, but we had to make more adjustments than we normally have to. I think it was time for that one to be cycled out anyway. It’s a car from 2013 so it’s the oldest one we have.”
Starks kicked off the three-race event on Thursday by qualifying 14th quickest in his group. He advanced from fourth to win a heat race before maneuvering from seventh to fifth place in the main event.
“All weekend we didn’t qualify where we wanted, but the way the format works out you aren’t completely behind the eight ball if you don’t qualify well,” he said. “We capitalized and made up spots in the heat race to garner a lot of points. That gave us a semi-decent starting spot in the feature. We ran around the top five the whole time. We were trying to find what the car needed. We weren’t great, but we were able to stay in the top five and salvage a decent points night to take some of the pressure off the second night.”
That was fortunate as Friday’s program ended early following a flip during a heat race.
Starks opened Saturday’s show by driving from sixth to fourth place in a heat race. That locked him into the fully inverted, 50-lap feature.
“We were third in points, but there was a big points discrepancy between us and the high-points guy,” he said. “Third through 12th was only a few points. That put me further in the invert, but I didn’t have a big enough points cushion to be able to finish behind those guys. I would have much rather been 12th to 15th in points to be closer to the front. Third through about 18th in points wasn’t much of a difference.
“At the end of the day you have to go forward as much as you can, pass as many cars as you can and hope at the end you did enough. Starting at the back you can get put down a lap real quick. We tried to work our way forward. There were a few wrecks and we found ourselves caught up in one trying to slow down for the wreck. We caught the cushion wrong off the gas and ended up tumbling over. Thankfully we didn’t have that much damage. We spent some time in the work area to get back out there, but we couldn’t fix everything and we had damage the whole race. All things considered, with the damage we had, being able to march to 11th was pretty good, but with the way the points shook out it wasn’t quite enough.”
Starks was tied for the fourth-most positions gained as he hustled from 22nd to 11th.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Reach Victory Lane for 17th Total Time This Season
Inside Line Promotions – SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (Oct. 20, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports earned its second-most World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victories in a season last Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway, where David Gravel guided the team to its 16th triumph of the year with ‘The Greatest Show on Dirt.’
Gravel qualified fourth quickest, placed second in a heat race and won the dash to garner the pole position of the main event at the dirt oval in Putnamville, Ind. He led the opening lap before falling to second. Gravel reclaimed the top spot on Lap 13 and held on for the remainder of the race, which showcased contact during the battle for the lead in turn four on the final circuit.
“Obviously, you don’t want guys to come together on the last corner racing for the win,” Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “We were equal, wheel-to-wheel there. I just think we were racing for the same spot, last lap, last corner for the win. I felt like I kind of had position on him down the backstretch. I felt like he kind of forced it to go outside of me. He knew I was going to the cushion. I didn’t wreck him on purpose. I know that, and hopefully he does as well. I don’t want to get into a crash and knock the guy out that we’re racing in points either. I want to win fair and square. I just got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson), Pete (Stephens), and Luke (Vaughn) is here helping us out.”
The winning performance marked the 17th overall victory of the season – tied for the second most in a season (2011) for Big Game Motorsports. That year and the following season, when Big Game Motorsports won a season-best 23 total races with 22 being World of Outlaws shows, the team had two full-time drivers.
Saturday’s World of Outlaws event at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., fell to the weather. The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway, where Gravel set quick time during World of Outlaws qualifying for the 23rd time this season. He also established a new track record.
A heat race win and a runner-up result in the dash started Gravel on the outside of the front row in the main event. He battled between second and third throughout the race before ending third for his 39th podium run of the season.
“It was interesting,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I felt like the bottom was going to be the place to be in (turns) one and two the whole time. Sheldon (Haudenschild) showed us the top was the place to be, and I saw him almost crash that one time outside of me. I thought maybe he just had a hero lap, but then the next lap he drove around me. Then I kind of got up there and followed him.”
The team heads to 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., this Friday for the Wichita Sprint Car Showdown before venturing to Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla., on Saturday for the Jason Johnson Classic presented by FK Rod Ends.
Gravel holds a 138-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the weekend.

Zearfoss sixth in Lincoln’s 50-lapper; BAPS visit next for BZR 3Z
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 20, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (October 20, 2025) – Brock Zearfoss’ final visit to the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway resulted in another sound outcome for the Jonestown, Pennsylvania, native, this time securing a top-ten – finishing sixth, officially – in the speedway’s 50-lap, $15,000-to-win “Final 50” on Saturday, October 18. Zearfoss, now with 43 top-tens on the year, started third on the A-Main grid, launching preliminary competition with a heat race victory.
As hinted, Zearfoss’ back half of 2025 has been productive to say the least, securing two victories since Labor Day, one of which Williams Grove Speedway’s Billy Kimmel Memorial. Each of the aforementioned victories were attained aboard Rich Eichelberger’s Lobar Inc. No. 8.
“Another solid effort for this team. Lincoln has never been a regular destination for us, but to come out of there with a top-ten is always special. I think we were better than where we finished, but we’ll regroup and do it again soon,” Brock Zearfoss, backed by Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness, said. “The plan is to visit BAPS this weekend in our own Brock Zearfoss Racing 3Z. We’ve had some success there so there’s no reason we can’t do it again.”

HEADLINES GALORE: Doney-Lawson Racing joins best in High Limit start at
Lucas Oil; Xavier Doney excited to head Down Under and enter Chili Bowl
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 20, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (October 20, 2025) – Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars did their best to beat the best Wednesday evening at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, and although they were unable to attain the evening’s top achievement, their results were special in their own right, concluding the High Limit Racing Roto-Rooter Midweek Series program with a 13th-place finish after starting one position back.
Doney, the ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No 74 sprinter who calls Odessa, Missouri, home, launched his evening with the national travelers with the 11th-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish fifth in his respective heat race. The eventual 13th-place outcome concluded his 2025 efforts with High Limit, as the Series eventually concluded their campaign at Texas Motor Speedway October 17-18.
Speaking of Texas Motor Speedway, Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing will get their turn at the Fort Worth facility in a few, short weeks, capping the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League schedule with a doubleheader on Friday and Saturday, November 7-8. Doney will roll into the Lone Star State third in the POWRi season championship, padded by 17 top-tens including two victories. Xavier’s youngster sister and teammate, Natalie Doney, will also be in action in Fort Worth, Texas. The young lady is currently 11th in the POWRi championship with one top-ten to her credit.
With all other news considered, Xavier Doney is pleased to announce that, not only will be he entering the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals with three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Sammy Swindell, as a teammate, but in addition, the recently turned 20-year-old is heading Down Under, set to make an appearance at the Perth Motorplex in High Limit Racing’s international program on December 28-30. The richest event in Australia history will award $110,000-to-win.

CASHING IN THEIR CHIPS: Aaron Reutzel and RSR close out
2025 High Limit season second in owner championship
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 20, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (October 20, 2025) – It was a season to remember for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), and despite all of the ups and downs including a midyear driver substitution as the result of Reutzel’s foot injury, the team persevered, capping off their 2025 High Limit Racing campaign with a runner-up finish in the Owner Championship, falling by mere-45 markers to Rico Abreu’s Rico Abreu Racing.
Reutzel, a former multi-time All Star Circuit of Champions champion who calls Clute, Texas, home, concluded the High Limit Racing season with three starts in four days, finishing no worse than eighth in his tour of the Central Time Zone, all of which culminating with back-to-back top-tens (sixth and eighth) in Texas Motor Speedway’s High Limit Racing season finale on October 17-18.
Reutzel’s season highlight reel is extensive, but perhaps his most rewarding achievement, literally, was Port Royal Speedway’s Bob Weikert Memorial worth $100,000. “A-Aron” is certainly no stranger to high stakes at the Port Royal, Pennsylvania, half-mile, winning the speedway’s coveted Tuscarora 50, as well, a feat accomplished in 2019.
As noted, RSR was forced to take on a mid-season driver substitution as the result of Reutzel’s foot injury sustained in Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal week. Justin Sanders, a native of California, filled the void for Brian and Lisa Ridge, winning two rounds of action including a Gold Cup Race of Champions preliminary at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California.
“It was a season to remember, nonetheless, and Lisa and I couldn’t be more proud,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “This entire team worked to the edge and back, and although our goal was to win a team title, to finish second is pretty special, especially considering the hoops we had to jump through. Congratulations to Rico Abreu and his entire team. They were almost perfect from start to finish, so hats off to them. As far as RSR, we’re excited for what the future brings. Only great things are ahead.
“To our friends, family, and team partners, we thank you,” Ridge added. “It takes an army to keep a team competitive, and fortunately for us, we’re surrounded by great people.”

Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel are unsure of coming plans. More
news to be released in the coming days.

WATERS RETURNS TO OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN WITH FIRM GOALS
October 19, 2025 - Las Vegas, Nevada - When 21-yeat-old Grantsville, Utah
driver Natalie Waters arrives at this year’s Bitnile.com Open Wheel Showdown
Presented by askROI, she will do so with an extra bit of confidence. She is
coming off her career best winged sprint car finish and will bring a band
new Big Willy Chassis with her to this year’s November 6-8, 2025, race at
the “Bullring” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Waters has yet to make the OWS winged sprint car A-main, but she’s been awfully close on both occasions, only missing the cut-off by one or two positions at most. She admits her confidence is high entering this year’s event.
“We qualified fifth at this year’s Pink Lady Classic in Meridian, Idaho against the same guys, and that was huge” explains Waters. “We’re really excited to get back down there with this new car. It’s nothing but the best. Will’s (Big Willy Chassis builder) helped us a lot. With this new motor, it’s definitely a stronger motor than what we’ve had in the past. Being able to go there without motor issues and not having to figure things out in our third year there, our confidence is high heading into OWS with this car and new motor.”
“A couple of years ago I was in a transfer spot and blew my motor. Then after I blew the motor, a guy comes running down and tells me I got the provisional. But I couldn’t race because we didn’t have a motor. This last year the top six transferred and I finished seventh. The thing that sucked was that the first-place guy was so far ahead I didn’t see him. When I was counting cars, I thought I was sixth and in the show. When I got to the pits everyone was telling me I was so close. That was a little bit of heartbreak to find out we finished seventh. Weve been so close every year.”
Waters ventured up to Vancouver Island, Canada for the Neil Montgomery Memorial at Saratoga Speedway in August. When the dust had settled, she found herself with a podium finish in the richest pavement sprint car race in Canada, further enhancing her confidence this year.
“We hauled all the way up to Vancouver Island, had to take the ferry and do all that fun stuff. We struggled at first but got things figured out. We qualified good. The way they do the pill draw we ended up starting on the outside of the front row.”
“It poured rain all weekend, so we didn’t get much track time. That track is really tricky. It reminds me of a road course. It’s got a weird dog leg and has a wall around the inside. You can’t really see the exit of the corner. I held my line and followed the guy in front of me. He’s a local driver with a lot of laps there. On a restart I kind of messed up and got passed and finished third. Finishing on the podium was a cool moment for me.”
In addition to on-track success, Waters races for a cause. She is a spokeswoman for ‘Racing to end Bullying’. She uses racing to bring awareness and raise money for the cause.
“We wanna make the show this year. That would be huge for
us. You watch these long-distance sprint car races every year, and it
becomes a survival game. Just to make the show and finish would be a really
good start for us. Staying on the lead lap would be huge. Running top five,
and then top three, would be our next goals. I’m really excited for this
year” concluded Waters.
Waters acknowledged her participation in this year’s OWS would not be
possible if not for a handful of individuals. Her Wickless Sensations Sprint
Car Team wishes to thank Wickless Sensations, Sorenson Construction, Idaho
Powder Coating, and Big Willy Chassis.

Showdown, advanced 12 spots in the aforementioned hard-charging performance,

HOAG MEMORIAL TO CLOSE 2025 CRSA SEASON WITH
$4000-TO-WIN, $300-TO-START SHOW
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – October 15, 2025
DUNDEE, N.Y. – This Saturday, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints raise the stakes once again with a $4000-to-win, $300-to-start show at Tyler Siri’s Outlaw Speedway in the Hoag Memorial.
This event is part of a doubleheader weekend challenge alongside the Empire Super Sprints, in which a driver has the opportunity to win $ 13000 this weekend. Should a driver win the ESS feature Friday (also $4000 to win) and the CRSA feature Saturday, they will receive a $5000 bonus.
Those who plan to run both nights will receive two free pit passes for CRSA Saturday, provided they compete Friday. Additionally, anyone who runs with a temporary membership will have their fees waived.
This is the third time the CRSA Sprints have been held at the 4/10-mile track in 2025. CRSA kicked off its 20th anniversary in April and saw Jeff Trombley pick up a record-breaking 15th career win. Last August, Jordan Hutton, who finished runner-up to Trombley, scored a victory of his own.
Action this Saturday can be seen live on The Cushion.
Here’s a look at the top stories.
Format: CRSA has announced the format for Saturday's running of the Hoag Memorial, similar to the New York 305 Nationals at Woodhull.
With pill draw and motor heats kicking off the program as always, timed hot laps will follow. Drivers will qualify within their group using a split format to set the lineups for heats. Times will only be against cars in a driver’s group.
The top four in the lineup will invert before the green flag for 10-lap heats. The top four or five will transfer, depending on the car count, with the winner and fastest timer in each group advancing to a redraw for dash spots. The dash will be eight laps. The rest will lineup heads-up in the A and B mains.
The last-chance qualifier will be 12 laps, with the top two fastest time trialers who did not qualify on the front ahead of those in heads-up. The top four will transfer to the 30-lap feature.
Sobotka’s Spotlight: With this race being show-up points only, as long as Zach Sobotka draws a pill and attempts to fire his car for hot laps, he will be crowned the 2025 CRSA Sprints champion and be the first rookie champion since John Virgilio in 2011.
In his first full season running sprint cars, Sobotka picked up five wins in 2025 at Utica-Rome, Fulton, Woodhull, Brewerton and Land of Legends. Every race Sobotka participated in resulted in a top-10 finish, with the worst finish being ninth. Sobotka's 18 top fives are also the most anyone has recorded in a season of CRSA competition.
Outside of CRSA, Sobotka made his debut with the World of Outlaws and finished eighth at Weedsport and also won his first career Empire Super Sprints feature at Brewerton.
Double Duty? Opportunity for More Money: Many drivers are accepting the challenge to compete in both sprint car events. Those that run double duty will be placed in a separate points fund, depending on which engine is used Friday, either the 360 or the 305. The top five in each points fund will range from $1000 to win, down to $100 for fifth place. If someone wins both nights, they are not eligible for the point fund.
By the Numbers: Seven different drivers have found victory lane at 82 Main. 32 different drivers have finished in the top five, with Dalton Herrick leading the way with four, followed by Tomy Moreau and Jordan Hutton with three. Just around 10 active drivers, or so, have finished in the top five.
From the Frontman: “The 20th season of CRSA has gone by very quick. We’ve had an incredible year of racing, featuring everything from car counts and loyalty giveaways to shows with over $1000 to win, and more. We can’t thank enough the drivers, their teams and our sponsors for their support in 2025! Looking forward to ending the season with a bang!”
Up Next: CRSA Sprints will celebrate the year with its annual awards banquet at Vernon Downs Casino Hotel Dec. 6.

ZNR Overcoming Challenges of Building a 410 Program,
Forging Ahead With 2026 Prep
Millerstown, PA – October 16, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Zach Newlin and his family have been patiently and diligently working to build their own 410 sprint car program over the past two seasons. It has been a challenging and often frustrating undertaking, but it is also a journey that has the potential to be one of the Millerstown, Pennsylvania team’s most rewarding experiences in racing.
Unfortunately, Newlin’s 2025 season ended abruptly and prematurely with a bent race car. The good news is, he and the team had made a breakthrough that night before the crash and went into the offseason with optimism for the future. More on that in a bit.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Newlin and his family’s decision to resurrect their team in 2023 came on the heels of opportunities to drive winged 410 sprint cars for a few other owners from late 2020 through mid-2022.
The popular driver known as ‘Zach Daddy’ had some high points in those rides, the foremost being making his first World of Outlaws A-main, which came at Port Royal Speedway in the Allan Pryde No.29 in 2021.
During the offseason following the 2022 season, Newlin and his family, who had previously fielded successful 305 and 358 sprint car programs, decided it was time to control their own destiny. Despite knowing it would be an uphill battle, both financially and competitively, it was the path that was calling them.
“We built our own 305 sprint car team and had a lot of success. We had a lot of fun doing it, too. When we decided to go 358 racing, it wasn’t as simple as a bigger motor. There was a learning curve, but we managed to win a race in our first year,” Newlin said.
“We knew building a 410 team would be the hardest thing we’ve ever done in racing.”
Newlin’s racing resume is a solid one. He has been racing for over 25 years, and he has been successful from go-karts to micro sprints to full-size sprint cars.
In 358 sprint car competition from 2020 to 2023, Newlin has won twice at Williams Grove Speedway and earned the track’s Rookie of the Year honors in 2020. In that rookie year, which consisted of eleven races, Newlin finished in the top ten an impressive eight times.
In 305 sprint cars from 2015 to 2019, Newlin is a 2-time PA Sprint Series Champion, a 2-time PA RaceSaver IMCA Champion, and a 4-time BAPS Motor Speedway Champion. In addition, he amassed 15 wins and 100 top-ten finishes during those seasons.
STRATEGIC CHOICES
“We have always made the most of what we had. We have never had the budget to have top-of-the-line stuff at any level, but we have been successful because we worked hard, took care of our equipment, and made smart choices,” Newlin shared.
Newlin not only has a day job, but he also owns his own business, Newlin Bar Service, which offers titanium torsion arms, torsion bar dyno testing, and exclusive cleaning tools for sprint cars and micro sprints. While all of that is going well, the economic times have left him with a little business debt to prioritize, which means less funds are available for racing.
“I won’t run myself or anyone into the ground financially to race more,” Newlin said.
“We pick and choose when and where we race to make sure every time we unload, we are going to add the most value to growing our program. We need to maximize laps to make progress.”
Newlin’s engine is down on horsepower compared to the top teams, so he has to factor that in when picking his battles. He is always looking at track schedules and sizing up each event to determine his team’s potential to make laps and money.
“All the internal engine parts are new, but the block is twenty years old, and the heads are pretty old too. It’s not a bad engine by any means, but it’s limited on how much it can produce,” Newlin said.
Sure, the number of race nights he can take on is limited by budget, but even a larger contribution from a sponsor wouldn’t necessarily mean adding races to his schedule.
Newlin’s team is also limited because there are so few shows available these days that fit the criteria for teams like his. For example, they have to consider expected field sizes that provide a reasonable chance to make the feature, plus they have to weigh their odds based on the start money and tow money offered by the track.
“We have to look at all the factors before we decide to go racing. We can’t just go because we want to. We have to race smart right now until we can build this thing up,” Newlin explained.
“If we had the funding to buy some new components like a rear end and wheels, that would make a big difference. We often race on used tires to save money, so funds to buy new tires would be helpful, of course. Our suspension, the shocks, bars, and arms are up to date, but it would help a lot to upgrade those other components.”
Newlin noted that the team is definitely looking for additional marketing partners for 2026, but was clear that more funding would not necessarily mean adding races to the team’s schedule. Upgrading components and racing on new tires when it makes sense would definitely help improve their performance, but the team’s ability to add races would require a much larger influx of funds to help change the factors in the decision process they currently have to go through to choose when and where to race.
COMING TOGETHER
Zach and his crew chief, brother Lance Newlin, wrestled with their Butler Hill Maple Farm, Ron’s RV Sales No.11z throughout 2025, tinkering with the setup, motor, and everything in between to find the right combination. It seemed nothing helped the car reach the potential they felt it could.
Finally, good news. At Port Royal Speedway on August 30th, they made a discovery about their fueling system. It only took a few laps to confirm they were onto something.
The bad news? Now they would go back to square one to find the right setup for the newfound RPMs.
“We discovered an issue with our pill selector. The engine not running properly impacts the setup. We chased the setup, but now we know that was never going to really solve the problem,” Newlin explained.
“Most of the year, our setup was off and we were down horsepower, but we were still running decent lap times. With just this fueling issue resolved, I’m confident we will have the speed we need to be more competitive in 2026. When we get the setup dialed in on top of that, we can be in position to make more shows and race for top-15’s and top 10’s consistently.”
“We know we can’t win races with the engine and components we have, but those are realistic goals if we get the most out of our equipment at the shows we choose to run.”
FORGING AHEAD
As we mentioned, Newlin crashed out of his last race in 2025, but just one month later, preparations for 2026 are well underway. The team purchased an RPM chassis with less than twenty races on it to replace the one that was bent in the season-ending crash in September. Newlin has already had the frame painted, installed the XC Gear Monkey Bars system, and mounted his seat.
The XC Gear Monkey Bars system is an anti-vibration race seat mount that is specifically intended to reduce injuries. It is designed to lessen the effect of constant vibration on the driver and to mitigate high-impact forces during a crash.
The team’s engine will soon be on its way to Hershey Racing Engines to be looked over and ensure it is ready for 2026. Meanwhile, they will begin to assemble their car, going over every component thoroughly, replacing what they have to, and upgrading what they are able to.
Newlin stuck close to home at Port Royal and Selinsgrove Speedways in 2025 for two reasons. First, those two tracks offered the best opportunities for him to get laps and make money. Second, the team’s truck wasn’t ideal for traveling very far. The team will have a better truck in 2026, so that would allow them to go a little further from home, if it makes sense to do so based on other factors.
Another positive note regarding the 2026 season is that the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car is expected to return to competition with Newlin at the wheel. The 21m team sat out the balance of 2025 after car owner Dan Mansberger lost his battle with cancer. Dan wanted the team to continue without him, so his son, Nathan, will oversee the team to ensure that happens.
“I love racing with those guys (Mansberger Motorsports) and I can’t wait to get back to the track with them. Dan was such a good guy, and we miss him. I was so happy to get his car back to victory lane, and we are going to do everything we can to do it again,” Newlin said.

After a Week in Yosemite, Brody Roa Heads Back to Battle at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Cypress, CA – October 12, 2025 — After a week of camping and
recharging with his wife and daughters in the majestic Yosemite National
Park, a rejuvenated Brody Roa is ready to get back behind the wheel when the
Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto
Speedway this Saturday, October 18th. For Roa, it’s the first of three races
in four weeks at the legendary Riverside County half-mile oval.
Saturday’s showdown comes just two weeks after another impressive performance from the veteran racer at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, where he earned his second In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger award of the season. The Garden Grove, California star has a special connection with Mohave. It is the site of one of the most thrilling victories of his career, when he stormed from 11th to win a 30-lap USAC/CRA main event in dominating fashion on October 8, 2022.
At the same track two weeks ago, Roa qualified 14th out of 28 cars with a lap of 14.549. He then piloted his immaculate #91R sprint car to a convincing victory in the first heat race of the night. It was his fifth USAC/CRA heat race win of 2025.
True to form, Roa started deep in the feature but wasted no time charging through the pack. In the 30-lap main event, the 34-year-old methodically picked off eight competitors to claim a hard-earned sixth-place finish.
So far this season in his own #91R machine, Roa has started nine main events, finishing in the top ten every time except for one. That came in June at Perris in a race that he had just taken the lead before being sidelined by misfortune. His 2025 stats include three top-five finishes and a season-best third at Perris three weeks ago.
At Perris this year, Roa’s average main event finish is a solid 7.28. Remove the race he was knocked out of, and that number improves to an impressive 5.66. That fine number offers proof that “The Pride of Garden Grove” is as fast and focused as ever heading into Saturday night’s return to the “Southern California Home of USAC/CRA.”
Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking (payment for parking is by card only).
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks Join USAC/CRA Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris
Perris, California — October 13, 2025 — The 2025 racing season at Perris Auto Speedway charges into the home stretch this Saturday night, October 18th, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to headline an action-packed card that also features the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks. Spectator gates for the thrilling night of high-speed dirt track racing and family fun open at 5:00 PM, with the first green flag waving at 7:00.
The 29th season at the popular Riverside County half-mile clay oval is winding down with just five races to go. The USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars will be in action this Saturday, October 18th, November 1st, and November 8th. LKQ Pick Your Part will present the final two Nights of Destruction on October 18th and November 22nd.
Going into the last Super Stock race on September 27th, it had been the year of Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker. The four-time track champion was still chasing his first win of the season but had finished runner-up in the first four races and built a comfortable points lead. However, disaster struck that night, taking Becker out early and opening the door for Banning’s Ricky Lee. The 2023 Super Stock champ capitalized with a big win and now trails Becker by only three points heading into Saturday’s showdown.
Victorville’s Rick Arringdale, a former PAS stock car champ in 1998 and 2001, sits third in the standings. Beaumont’s Steven Welch and Bakersfield’s second-generation racer Billy Simkins round out the top five.
In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Riverside’s Shawn Estes, the 2012 class champion, has been unbeatable in 2025—sweeping every heat and main event so far this season. That perfect record has earned him a commanding 22-point lead over George Leventis of Palos Verdes with three races remaining. Estes’ son in law, Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda, ranks third. He is followed by Ohio transplant Evan Sennett of Riverside and 2021 champion Brandon Kelly, who are ranked fourth and fifth.
On the USAC/CRA side, Laveen, Arizona’s RJ Johnson—the defending series champion—has found his groove, winning the last two main events at The PAS. Those back-to-back victories, his only USAC/CRA wins of the season, have helped him stretch his lead to 65 points over Oxnard’s Ricky Lewis with five races left (three at Perris and two next week at Central Arizona Raceway). Lewis, who led the standings for much of the year, still tops the win chart with eight triumphs in 2025. Four of his wins have came in the first eight races at Perris.
“The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams of Corona, San Diego’s AJ Bender, and Yucaipa’s Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm complete the top five.
Saturday’s tickets are $35.00 for those 13 years old and over. Kids (6–12) get in for $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, but plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available at the gate.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Earn 15th Win of 2025
Season with Wingless Triumph at Selinsgrove Speedway
Selinsgrove, PA – October 13, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tony Jackson and the Scott Hess Racing team continued their dominant 2025 campaign this past weekend, capturing their 15th victory of the season with an impressive wingless feature win at Selinsgrove Speedway.
Jackson started the night with determination, charging from his fifth-place starting spot in the heat race to take the win, securing the third starting position for the evening’s 20-lap main event. When the green flag dropped, Jackson fell back a spot. However, by lap six, he had worked himself into the lead, and he never looked back, taking the checkered flag in convincing fashion.
“We fell back as far as fourth early in things, but we just worked ourselves back to the front around lap six,” said Jackson. “The track was in really good shape and things went nonstop, so once we got to the lead it was just my job not to mess it up.”
The triumph marks another highlight in what has been a standout year for Jackson and the Scott Hess Racing team. As the 2025 season nears its conclusion — and with Jackson preparing to step away from full-time competition — every race has taken on added significance.
The team will take the upcoming weekend off, but they have two more events remaining on their 2025 schedule before Jackson officially retires from the sport.
“We have two races left on the schedule, and when you look at how the weather has been, it’s kind of starting to sink in that this could be the last one,” he said. “I’m trying to soak in each race, win as many as we can, and just take it all in every time we hit the track.”
With 15 wins already under their belt, Jackson and the Scott
Hess Racing team aim to finish their storybook season — and Jackson’s career
— on the highest possible note.
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

Big Money On The Line in ESS Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue
(Dundee, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints are set to take the track on Friday at the Outlaw Speedway. As part of the annual Hoag Memorial weekend, Fridays main event will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start, with $100 of tow money offered to drivers that don’t make the show. Fridays event is also part of a two day challenge. Saturday, the CRSA 305 sprints will take the track in another $4,000 to win affair, and a $5,000 bonus has been put up for any driver that wins on Friday in 360 competition with the Empire Super Sprints and Saturday in 305 competition with the CRSA Sprints. If successful, one driver could leave the weekend with $13,000. Two separate point funds have been set aside this weekend as well, one for any driver that competes Friday in a 360 and Saturday in a 305, along with one for any driver that competes in a 305 both nights. As Fridays event is an Empire Super Sprints sanctioned event, all cars competing will need to adhere to the ESS rulebook, including having front axle tethers and running an HTC plated Medium 1 tire. Cars competing in the Saturday portion will similarly need to adhere to the CRSA rulebook. Leading the charge into the weekend is Jordan Thomas, who picked up the Empire Super Sprints win back in September at the Outlaw Speedway. Thomas is expected to have a 305 under the hood Saturday as well, in hopes of taking home the $13,000 if he can complete the weekend sweep. As the 2025 points season concluded two weeks ago at the Fulton Speedway where Jordan Poirier was crowned the champion, Friday’s event at Outlaw will not award points and the standings are considered final.

National Champs To Go Head To Head
By Phil Michell Motorsport Media
For the second time this season the Wingless Sprints will
feature at the Murray Machining and Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway with 36
drivers nominated for the October 18 event. The list includes 9 of the top
10 drivers from the opening night’s feature event along with several
high-profile additions, including the current Australian Champion Tyson
Martin and regular feature winner Jack McCarthy. But they will have to work
hard for the win this weekend as they missed gaining some valuable early
season track time but having said that Martin is coming off a trip north to
Darwin and McCarthy dominated the Speedcar events at the venue over the
October long weekend.
Following his victory on night 1 dual National Champion Joel
Chadwick will be looking to build on his successful debut driving for Andrew
and Lyn May and he will be determined to get an early season win over the
defending Australian Champion. Rylan Furler will be another to watch as he
will be hoping to go one spot better than his last start after leading for a
majority of the opening A-Main. Mildura’s Jordon Bolitho will be another
major contender after an impressive outing last start, which included two
heat wins and a podium feature result.
Regular front runner Jack McCarthy is set for a busy night
as he is entered to compete in Caleb Evans' second Wingless Sprint and his
own LS Powered Sprintcar, so he will get plenty of laps on Saturday night.
Despite the fact he will be jumping between cars throughout the night
McCarthy has the talent to have a successful night in both classes.
After missing the opening night at Murray Bridge several
other drivers will join Martin and McCarthy in their season debut on
Saturday including Melissa Crouch, who recently recorded a podium finish in
Speedcar competition at Murray Bridge, local Murray Bridge racer Brett
Ireland, who will drive one of the Pitcher Racing entries, young live-wire
Thomas Norvill and Harley Alexander.
The impressive line-up also includes Michael Spoljaric,
Robert Heard, Darryl Sloan, James Rodda, Ross Miller and rookie Hayden
Mason, who will all be hoping to build on their early season top 10 results
while Sam Martin, Tate Cowie, Kaitlyn Vickers, Jesse Alexander and Thomas
Walkom will all be optimistic about bouncing back from a tough season
opener.
The action throughout the heats will be at a maximum, with
36 cars nominated the heat fields will be at capacity with 12 car races, the
largest grid size allowed as written in the AWSR rule book. The six heat
races will be followed by a B-Main and a 25-lap finale.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Post Podium at New Egypt Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports highlighted last weekend with its 37th podium performance of the season on Friday at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J.
David Gravel guided the team to its 22nd quick time of the season with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series before winning a heat race and maneuvering from sixth to third place in the dash.
“We were hitting on all eight every time we hit the track,” he said. “We had a bad dash draw, but we were able to get to the second row. I felt we’d have a shot to win that race. It never worked out, but we ran a solid third.”
Gravel ran third throughout the feature for his 54th top-five result of the season.
The team ventured to Lincoln Speedway on Saturday.
“It started great going quick time in our group,” he said. “We won a heat race and won the dash. The wheels fell off about Lap 6 in the feature. I tried to limp it the end, but didn’t make it. The clamp that holds the magneto on the engine broke so the magneto turned and either severely retarded or advanced the timing. The motor ran hot and ended up failing. It was a stupid, cheap part failure and something you couldn’t prevent.”
Gravel suffered a DNF approximately one third of the way through the 35-lap feature, leaving him with a 26th-place result. The team’s points lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings was cut to 106 points with eight races remaining this season.
“It sucks,” he said. “You work all year to gain 10 points or 20 points. To lose 42 points in one night is definitely something you never want to happen. Two mechanical issues this year have put us down. We have to come back and come out swinging this weekend and have three good runs.”
Next is a three-race weekend with World of Outlaws shows on Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind., for the Putnamville Showdown; on Saturday at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., for the LaSalle Showdown; and on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., for the Badger State Triple.
“I haven’t been to Lincoln Park in a long time,” Gravel said. “It’s a super tight track with a big cushion. The last time I was there we ran good with the Outlaws. I don’t really know much about LaSalle. I don’t remember racing there. And Angell Park, it’s been a while since I’ve been there, too.”
Gravel finished second during his most recent visit to Lincoln Park Speedway in 2016. In 2013, he ran eighth the last time he competed at LaSalle Speedway. Gravel placed fourth in 2016 during his last race at Angell Park Speedway.

Kaleb Johnson Battles Adversity On and Off Track During Tough Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson fought adversity throughout last weekend in the Northeast.
Johnson and Team DGRD were unable to compete in a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series event on Friday at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J., because of a trailer problem. The team then battled through the learning woes on Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.
“The first time we went there we struggled with the rotation of the race car and this time we had a little too much,” Johnson said. “I didn’t qualify well. I was running in a decent spot in the heat race and screwed up. I drove it in too hot into turn three and spun out. I had just passed for eighth. I was frustrated, but at the end of the day I’m trying to get the laps to be competitive. I chalk it up as a learning experience.”
Johnson, who qualified 17th quickest in his group and placed 11th in a heat race, rallied from 10th to sixth place in the C Main.
Another big weekend of learning is on tap as Johnson will make his debut at three tracks during a World of Outlaws tripleheader. The action begins on Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind., during the Putnamville Showdown. On Saturday, LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., hosts the LaSalle Showdown. The weekend wraps up on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., during the Badger State Triple.
“I’m looking forward to it because they are all shorter tracks and we’ve been decent on the shorter tracks,” Johnson said. “A main goal is to make the features and get as many laps as we can. That’s a good expectation. We’re getting out of our comfort zone and we want to maximize our learning.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 11 – Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa. – Qualifying: 17; Heat race: 11 (9); C Main: 6 (10).

Starks Holds High Expectations in Return to Trophy Cup
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Trey Starks will wrap up his season this weekend when he travels to California for the 31st annual Trophy Cup.
Starks, with the support of Kevin Rudeen and Rudeen Racing, is venturing to Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the marquee event that runs Thursday through Saturday.
“My results at Trophy Cup over the years have definitely varied,” he said. “The first time I went down to Trophy Cup we had a pretty good run. Since then, like Tulare can do, we got ate up a couple of times. We had some good runs and had some crashes. We didn’t have much consistency. Then I didn’t race there for several years.
“We had a good run last year. Between last year and racing at that track a couple of years ago for Dominic (Scelzi), we had good success. With that and taking our own package down there, I think we can have a lot of success over the weekend. Our 360 package is close to the top on the West Coast. Tulare is definitely different from Skagit, but I think we can make our racing package fit well there.”
Starks enjoyed a career-best Trophy Cup last year when he won the 50-lap finale and finished seventh in event points out of more than 60 competitors. It marked his first time at the event in seven years.
“I think the goal for this year is to be a contender to win the Cup come Saturday,” he said. “It’s a very unique race and usually the winner of the Cup isn’t necessarily in contention for the feature win on Saturday. It’s a race that requires you to race so hard the entire time. You are constantly fighting and passing cars. It’s cool because you don’t really know until the dust literally settles after the feature on Saturday who has won. The goal for us is to have solid runs and be in contention to win the Cup on Saturday night.”
Starks enters his season finale with 10 feature victories this season. That gives him double-digit wins for the second straight season and the fourth time in his career.
SEASON STATS –
33 races, 10 wins, 21 top fives, 25 top 10s, 28 top 15s, 30 top 20s

Dominic Scelzi Gearing Up for Trophy Cup a Year After Career-Best Outing at Event
Inside Line Promotions – ANTIOCH, Calif. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi is eager to tackle one of his favorite events of the season.
Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., hosts the 31st annual Trophy Cup this Thursday through Saturday.
“We’ve been very fast a lot of times at the event,” Scelzi said. “We’ve had great nights and great points finishes. But nothing is guaranteed and nothing is given. You just go there and hope that things go the right way.”
Scelzi’s best showing at the marquee event was last year when he ran second during the second preliminary night before charging from 22nd to eighth during the finale. That placed him second in the event standings – only three points out of the top spot out of more than 60 competitors.
“I’m hoping that we can have a good showing and we can do something special,” he said. “I’m going in there without any expectations. I’m going to show up and see what cards we are dealt. You just know you are going into a dogfight.”
Scelzi competed last Saturday at Antioch Speedway during a NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event. He qualified second quickest, won a heat race and placed second in the dash to start the main event on the outside of the front row.
“I was the second guy out to qualify and the track was still really greasy,” he said. “I held quick time for about halfway through, but it cleaned off and got faster. Then I won the heat race. I barely won the start of the dash and they sent me back a row saying I jumped the start. I got from third to second in it.
“I ran second the majority of the main event. We had a restart halfway through and I passed D.J. (Netto) for the lead, but we didn’t complete a lap so I restarted second. We went green again for about five laps and I was all over D.J. before we had another caution. On the restart I got into turn one, hit the curb the wrong way and off it went. I felt we had a car that was capable of winning, but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way for us. I’m happy we had speed.”
Scelzi was credited with a 12th-place result following the wreck.
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 11 – Antioch Speedway in Antioch, Calif. – Qualifying: 9; Heat race: 1 (2); Dash: 2 (1); Feature: 12 (2).

Paul Nienhiser Caps 2025 Season In Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA Getting in one final race for the season on Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway, Paul Nienhiser put an exclamation point on a very turbulent season that saw him miss three months to injury as he parked his PNR No. 9x mount in victory lane at the Ron Milton Race of Champions in front of a throng of family and friends.
“Last Saturday night we weren’t very good at Jacksonville, so Scott Bonar went to work all week to see if he could figure out where we were missing,” Nienhiser said. “He came up with a few things and it made a ton of difference.”
Drawing the front row for his heat race, Nienhiser lined up alongside MOWA Championship contender, Mario Clouser. With both drivers needing the win badly for event points, Nienhiser was able to get the jump as he went on to secure the win.
With a vibration hounding Nienhiser and the CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc./MB Heating and Cooling No. 9x, the team made the decision to swap out the rear-end and driveline prior to the feature event.
Able to make the changes Nienhiser’s family did the deed of drawing him the two pill for the redraw, and he was on the front row of the feature event.
When the field was shown the green flag, the Chapin, IL mashed the throttle and showcased a very strong Buffalo Wild Wings/T&K Tree Services backed entry. Simply able to put his car anywhere on the speedway to make grip, Nienhiser looked very solid out front and showed no signs of rust.
Despite losing a right-rear wheel cover and dealing with the vibration of a packed wheel, Nienhiser went on the score the win convincingly.
“It was just the perfect way to cap off a really tough year,” Paul Nienhiser added. “The last couple of seasons have really put us through the ringer with tragedy and hardship, and even on Friday night one of my close friends suffered a heart attack post race, but fortunately he is on the road to recovery. With it marking the end to our season, I really want to take the opportunity to thank my family, friends, fans, and marketing partners for all of the encouragement to get back racing after the injury. I also want to thank all of the guys who do such an incredible job on both the No. 9x and the No. 50- Scott Bonar, Greg Ford, Caleb Wankle, Drake Willhite, Weston Crews, Travis Pence, Zac Houtz, Tony Gaylord, Tom Griffin, and Eldon Stocker.
Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer, Dekalb/Asgrow, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-19, Wins-7, Top 5’s-12, Top 10’s-14

Part Failure Hinders Andy Forsberg at Petaluma Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Making one final trip of 2025 to Petaluma Speedway on Saturday night to take part in the track’s season finale, Andy Forsberg looked to be on his way to his 11th win of the season until a part failure late in the race dashed those hopes.
“Petaluma Speedway always does it pretty big for their finale and it was great to get down there and see a really good crowd on hand,” Andy Forsberg said. “We had a really good car, but we had a radius rod stud break, and ended our night.”
Timing the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in fourth fastest in qualifying, the Auburn, CA driver lined up on the front row of his heat race.
Taking advantage of a mishap in front of him, Forsberg was able to pick up the win and lock himself into the redraw.
Pulling the one, Forsberg got the jump when the race came to life and started to pull away from the field and soon found traffic despite the low car count.
Getting into traffic, Forsberg checked up as he navigated slower traffic and it allowed Chance Grasty to power his way into the top spot.
Chasing after Grasty, Forsberg was able to pounce as Grasty got too tight and he reclaimed the race lead.
Clicking off laps out front, Forsberg felt something let go in his front end and was able to get whoa’d up before making contact with the wall.
“It was a fun night despite the DNF,” Forsberg said. “Just a really cool atmosphere at the track and that always makes such a difference in these nights.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 46, Wins-10, Top 5’s-24, Top 10’s-30
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are idle this weekend and return on action on 10/25 at Marysville Raceway for the Spooktacular.

THE FINAL LUNGE: Aaron Reutzel and RSR to close out High Limit Racing
campaign with starts at Lucas Oil and Texas Motor Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 13, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (October 13, 2025) – And it all comes down to this.
Despite only three starts remaining on the 2025 High Limit Racing campaign, “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) are well within striking distance, trailing Rico Abreu and Rico Abreu Racing by a mere 20 markers in the High Limit Owners Championship – a crown carrying a $250,000 potential. Reutzel, who calls Clute, Texas, home, will roll into the final three events with a recent top-five sweep to his credit, finishing no worse than fourth in a two-day visit to Kansas City, Kansas.
“It all comes down to this,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Ridge & Sons Racing, Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, said. “Can’t say enough about this team and what they’ve been able to accomplish, and overcome. Even with Aaron [Reutzel] out to injury, everyone came together and persevered. Justin [Sanders] did a fantastic job for this race team and we wouldn’t be in this owners hunt without him. I’m confident we have what it takes to get to the top of the championship by Saturday night.”
As noted, it was a productive weekend in Kansas City for Reutzel and RSR, eventually capping the Heartland of America Showdown at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, with a runner-up and fourth-place finish, respectively. The two-day outcome not only kept Reutzel within championship striking distance, but it padded an incredible stat sheet for the team out of Knoxville, Iowa, now with a combined 50 top-tens on the year, 36 of which occurring within the top-five. Not to mention, Aaron Reutzel and mid-season substitute Justin Sanders have amassed 12 total victories.

THAT’S A WRAP: TKS Motorsports concludes 2025 season with
High Limit at Lakeside
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 13, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (October 13, 2025) – For Troy and Tammy Renfro’s TKS Motorsports, the 2025 season is officially complete, and although the stat sheet reflects a trying year for the Mitchellville, Iowa-based open wheel program, there were plenty of shining moments, all of which reflecting hard work, perseverance, and most importantly, a positive attitude.
Capping their year, officially, TKS Motorsports and driver Ian Madsen made the tow to Kansas City, Kansas, joining High Limit Racing in the two-day Heartland of America Showdown at Lakeside Speedway on October 10-11. Despite missing main event competition on Friday, the team rebounded and made the most of their Saturday appearance, battling through the evening’s B-Main before rallying for a 15th-place feature score.
Madsen, who missed a large chunk of his TKS Motorsports assignment due to injury, rolled into Lakeside with a full head of steam, reuniting with the team by scoring a podium in Lee County Speedway’s Hawkeye Nationals featuring POWRi on Saturday, October 4. Madsen’s podium was just one of five top-fives for TKS Motorsports in 2025, ending the year with 11 top-tens total including a pair of runner-up performances at Jackson Motorplex and Knoxville Raceway; the runner-ups occurred in back-to-back weekends.
“An up and down year, for sure, but we’re proud of everyone…more than proud. The team stayed positive and worked hard through every obstacle and that’s more important than any statistic,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, Justice Brothers, Serenity Custom Woodworking, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “To our partners, fans, friends, and everyone else who stepped up to lend a hand this season, we thank you. We’re not exactly sure of our plan for 2026, but we’ll have something put together soon.”

Doney-Lawson Racing to rejoin High Limit Racing in Midweek stop at Lucas
Oil Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 13, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (October 13, 2025) – It was a hard-fought weekend in Kansas City for Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, and although the young man out of Odessa, Missouri, was unable to qualify for High Limit Racing main event competition on Saturday, October 11, Friday’s Heartland of America Showdown outcome at Lakeside Speedway was more than productive, eventually concluding his efforts with a Hard Charger Award.
Xavier Doney, ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter, earned the aforementioned Hard Charger Award with a seven-spot rally, concluding A-Main competition with a 13th-place finish from 20th on the grid. The Hard Charger Award pads an already impressive stat card for the now 20-year-old, who celebrated his birthday over the weekend, a stat card that includes two POWRi victories, most recently at 34 Raceway in late August.
Three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Sammy Swindell, was also in on the action at Lakeside Speedway, not only joining Doney-Lawson Racing in a second car, but resuming his role as team mentor. Swindell went on to qualify for each of the High Limit Racing main events.
Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will resume action rather quickly, set to rejoin High Limit Racing in a midweek visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Wednesday, October 15.

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (October 13, 2025) – Justin Whittall’s home state appearance with the Greatest Show On Dirt was great in its own right, not only qualifying for A-Main competition at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, New Jersey, on Friday, October 10, but racing on to secure a top-ten finish – his third with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in 2025.
Whittall, ace of his own RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, finished ninth in his top-ten effort, climbing ahead from 13th on the A-Main grid. The Vincentown, New Jersey, wheelman qualified for the evening’s 30-lap finale via fifth-place finish in his respective heat.
Although the World of Outlaws will not return to New Jersey in 2025, action in the Garden State is far from over, as the 410 sprinters will make their return to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, for the annual Dirty Jersey Finale on Friday and Saturday, October 31 and November 1.
Whittall is the defending Dirty Jersey Finale champion.
“It was great to race with the Outlaws in our home state. We don’t have a ton of opportunities to race in New Jersey, period, so we try to take advantage of every opportunity given,” Whittall expressed. “We have a little bit of time off before we race again at Bridgeport. We were fortunate enough to win the Dirty Jersey Finale last year, so it’s our goal to repeat.”

Dietrich, a 12-time winner in 2025, is certainly no stranger to success at the Selinsgrove half-mile, actually sweeping the facility’s double feature program on Friday, August 15.
As hinted, it was a mechanical woe that hurt Dietrich’s potential at Lincoln, surrendering with just 17 of 30 laps recorded.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (October 13, 2025) - The month of October
has been a touch sour for Kerry Madsen and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian
Racing (TSR), forced to highlight their most recent stretch through the
country’s Mid-Atlantic with a 16th-place outcome at Lincoln Speedway in
Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, October 11. Despite some rough and
tough luck, the “Madman” is regrouped and ready to rock, set to rejoin TSR
in a Midwest triple beginning Friday, October 17, at Lincoln Park Speedway
in Putnamville, Indiana.
As noted, Madsen, ace of Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Advance
Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and
Carts, No. 15 sprint car, highlighted his recent stretch with a 16th-place
outing at Lincoln, but contrary to the stat card, things were on pace to be
much greater. In fact, on Friday at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, New
Jersey, Madsen carried a top-ten potential the entire evening, actually
lining up eighth after finishing third in his respective heat race. It was
an on-track incident that canceled said potential, eventually returning to
the speedway to be scored 21st.
Madsen and TSR will roll into Lincoln Park as the sixth-best team in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series standings padded by a combined 33 top-tens, one of which a recent podium by Madsen in New Mexico.

Russell Motorsports partners with Kyle Larson for Hangtown 100 in November
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. is pleased to announce it has entered a partnership with former NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Larson for the annual Hangtown 100 moving forward at Placerville Speedway.
Both nights on Friday and Saturday November 14th and 15th will continue to showcase the popular USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets. Rounding out the card at the event and sure to bring thrills of their own will be the Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints.
“We are excited to continue growing the Hangtown 100 and working with Kyle Larson to make that happen,” commented Placerville Speedway Scott Russell. “Matt Wood had the original vision of getting the Hangtown 100 going and I want to thank him for making it possible, because without Matt it wouldn’t have even happened. Moving into the future, he is allowing us to take things over by partnering with Kyle.”
In 2007, at the ripe young age of 14, Larson competed in his first career Sprint Car race at Placerville Speedway and earned his initial victory at the track that same season. The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based facility was also where the Elk Grove, California native wrapped up his Golden State KWS-NARC Series title in 2010.
Larson won’t just be co-promoter of the Hangtown 100, he will also be competing in the race, searching for a third career win at the event. He spoke about the new partnership with RMI.
"It’s really special to be part of an event that means so much to me. Placerville Speedway is a place where my family and I grew up going to, not just as fans, but to race. Teaming up with Scott and Kami to continue growing this event is incredibly important to me, and I’m excited to not only help promote, but also to compete!"
The inaugural running of the Hangtown 100 in 2019 saw Larson capture a thrilling victory in both the 100-lap feature and the overall points, taking home $32,000 for his efforts. The 33-year-old returned in 2023 to perform the same feat. With last season’s rainout, he will go into next month as the defending winner of the event.
Larson began this season by earning another triumph at the Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is currently locked in another championship battle for the NASCAR Cup title.
As noted, long-time car owner and midget enthusiast Matt Wood brought about the idea of starting the Hangtown 100 and shared his thoughts on the event moving forward.
“The Hangtown 100 has been one of the best ideas I’ve ever had. Having someone with Kyle’s passion for the sport and willing to take it to the next level is the best thing that could happen. Congrats to Kyle and his team. I am excited to see where the HT 100 ends up.”
Bixby, Oklahoma’s Cannon McIntosh, who has been getting Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the championship standings.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to Perris After Another Top-10 Finish
Chino Hills, CA — October 8, 2025 — After a brief break from competition, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will return to action when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series resumes on Saturday, October 18th, at Perris Auto Speedway. The event will mark the 22nd start of the season for the Chino Hills, California, racer and his ninth appearance of the year at the track closest to his home.
Tafoya, 28, heads into the night following another solid top-10 performance at the famed half mile on September 27th. On an evening when rain showers surrounded the facility and came within a mile of the oval, the driver of the eye-catching #51T qualified eighth quick with a lap of 17.066 seconds.
The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year went on to finish fifth in his heat race. In the 30-lap main event, he started in the eighth position and maintained his consistent form to finish in the same spot against a tough field of competitors.
In eight main event starts at Perris in 2025, the track’s 2018 Young Guns Champion has finished inside the top 10 seven times. The only exception came in the season opener on March 1st, when loose belts forced him to slow mid-race and he placed 13th. His best Perris result this year is a fourth-place finish on September 13th in a race streamed live worldwide on Dirt Vision. His average main event finish in 2025 at the long-time Riverside County half mile stands at an impressive 8.125.
Tafoya has qualified in seven of eight visits to The PAS this season. The lone miss occurred on August 16th, when a tumble during his first qualifying lap sidelined his effort. His quickest qualifying time came at the March 1st season opener—16.668 seconds—while his best qualifying position, sixth, has been achieved twice (April 5th and June 21st). His overall qualifying average entering the October 18th event is 8.288.
Event Info: • Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025 • Location: Perris Auto Speedway, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA • Times: Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., racing at 7:00 p.m. • Tickets: Ages 13+ – $35.00 | Seniors (65+) – $30.00 | Kids 6–12 – $10.00 | Children 5 & under – Free • Parking: $20.00 (Fairgrounds parking is card only) • Tickets: Advance tickets at tix.com | Plenty of walk-up tickets available • Track Info: perrisautospeedway.com | 951-940-0134

The Shark Takes Bite Out of NARC Points Lead; Runs 2nd in
Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA- With time winding down on the 2025 NARC Championship battle, Sean Becker commonly known as ‘The Shark’ took a bite out of DJ Netto’s point lead as his second place finish put him just 7 markers out of the top spot with three races left on the schedule.
“I owe Saturday nigh to Crew Chief, Brad Bumgarner,” Sean Becker said. “It was one of those nights where we were immediately fast as soon as the trailer door went down.”
Heading to Tulare, CA’s Thunderbowl Raceway on Saturday night, Becker kicked the night off by timing the Bjork Construction/Kaeding Performance backed No. 7B entry in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Roseville, CA driver picked up a spot as he jumped into third. Holding the position, Becker’s third place finish locked him into the all-important Dash where his runner up finish put him on the front row of the 30-lapper alongside Tanner Holmes.
On the tricky Thunderbowl Raceway surface, Becker settled into second as he chased after Holmes who set a strong pace early.
As they field got into traffic, Becker admittedly made a couple of bad decisions as he slipped back to fifth on the 13th lap.
Using a restart on lap 14 to propel himself back into fourth, Becker again used a restart four laps later to put himself back up in third as he battled with Jesse Schlotfeldt for the runner up position.
Looking like he’d run third on this night, Becker was waiting in the wings and took advantage of a Schlotfeldt issue and grabbed second in the final two laps. Finishing second, Becker close the points gap to just seven markers heading into this weekend’s event at Antioch Speedway.
“I made a couple of bad decisions in traffic, but luckily I had a really good car that allowed me to use restarts to make up some of lost ground and get us back into second,” Sean Becker added.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-36, Wins-0, Top 5’s-9, Top-10’s- 23
ON TAP: Becker and the Bjork Racing team will be back in action Saturday night in Antioch, CA.
STAY CONNECTED: If you can’t be at the track, make sure to give Sean a follow on Instagram at @BeckerRacing23.

Grasty 12th with NARC in Tulare, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA- Venturing to Tulare, CA on Saturday night with the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC), Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team had a bit of an off night as they ran 12th in the feature event.
“We unfortunately didn’t get timed in well at all,” Chance Grasty said. “Then in our heat we had a shock go bad, which led to our car not handling well at all and actually feeling pretty evil.”
Timing the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 in 13th fastest in qualifying time trials, the Suisun City, CA driver found himself in the third row of his heat race.
When the heat came to life, Grasty started to feel the ill effects of a failing left rear shock as he hung on as best he could and wrestled his mount around Thunderbowl Raceway. Finishing sixth, Grasty was locked into the 16th starting position in the feature event as the team went to work to make repairs and make sure nothing else had failed.
Taking the green flag from the outside of the eighth row, Grasty admittedly felt much better in the 30-lap finale as he used it as an opportunity to feel things out for the upcoming Trophy Cup.
With the way the track was, it was tough to make a big run through the field, but Grasty did what he could while in traffic as he moved into 14th on the fourth lap, and then was in 13th on the 10th marker.
Continuing to log laps and challenge where he could, Grasty worked his way into 11th just past the halfway point of the feature event and looked for a way inside the Top-10.
Bouncing between 11th and 12th during the final 10 laps of the race, Grasty ultimately capped his night off with a 12thplace finish.
“It wasn’t the night we had in mind, but I think we may have been dealing with a bad shock in qualifying too,” Grasty said. “Super thankful to have a great team behind me who never quits, and in the end it was really good for us to get more laps in Tulare, CA with Trophy Cup on the horizon.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will head to Petaluma Speedway this Saturday night.

Museum of American Speed Acquires Historic Collection
by Pat Sullivan
Clay Smith the Director of the Museum of American Speed has announced that the Lincoln, Nebraska museum has purchased the extensive collection of Hall of Fame photographer John Mahoney. By any yardstick one employs, this is a historically significant acquisition. “We at the Museum of American Speed are honored to be the new home of the John Mahoney archive,” Smith notes, “John is one of the most important racing photographers in the history of the sport and his presence as a recorder of racing history from A.J. Foyt to Kyle Larson speaks for itself. The Museum of American Speed will make every effort to use John's images for the betterment of the sport of auto racing."
Echoing Smith’s observations, the museum’s official Historian Bob Mays adds, “John is the undisputed leader in photographic documentation of the history of auto racing over the last seven decades and we are honored that he has chosen the Museum of American Speed to preserve and continue his legacy.”
The collection includes over 165,000 images including the work of other noteworthy photographers that had been previously bequeathed to Mahoney for preservation. This was not a decision Mahoney took lightly. “After sixty years of living the dream of shooting my favorite sport, it’s time to put my photo career on the trailer,” John notes, “My negative and digital files are now housed at the Museum of American Speed. This new arrangement could not have worked out better with long-time photographer/publisher friend Bob Mays overseeing my collection at the fabulous facility founded by “Speedy Bill” Smith. My wife Martha and I are lucky to enjoy good health and look forward to continuing adventures.”
Mahoney’s website, johnmahoneyphoto.com containing more than 15,000 open wheel photos, will remain active for now but will be managed by the Museum in the future. Please continue to monitor the American Museum of Speed official website https://www.museumofamericanspeed.org for updates as they occur.
The museum acquired the Leroy Byers, Denver, Colorado, archive in 2019 and the Earl Garretson, Astell, Georgia, archive in 2024. Now, with the additions of Mahoney’s collection, the Museum of American Speed has one of the most complete auto racing archives in the United States.
One Race Makes All the Difference for Tyler Ross
Mechanicsburg, PA – October 7, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross has finished in the top ten in nearly fifty percent of the races he has entered in 2025, a statistic that many teams would be happy to own.
For Ross, though, there is unfinished business. He has yet to crack victory lane this year, something he knows his team is capable of. They have proven it multiple times in recent years.
No matter how good your team is, winning is never guaranteed in 410 sprint car racing, but Ross and his team have been working hard all season to overcome hurdles that they are confident are standing between Ross Racing and their next checkered flag.
CUT SHORT IN JERSEY
To close out the month of September, Ross made the trip to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Swedesboro, NJ, to take on the High Limit Racing series. The one-hour tow was the shortest of the season for the Lincoln University, PA, driver who is accustomed to traveling anywhere from ninety minutes to nearly three hours to race.
“We have always been pretty solid at Bridgeport,” Ross commented.
“We brought our white car here for one final shakedown before the National Open at Williams Grove. That’s really the event we have been preparing this car for all along. We’ve been battling a brake issue with this car since we first rolled it out of the shop this year, so we want to get that resolved.”
The car was brand new from chassis to engine earlier this year and has shown promise in limited action, but the team has been working to resolve a brake issue on the car. They have replaced the master brake cylinder, calipers, and other components, with no luck thus far.
“People wonder how it can so long to resolve an issue like we’re having with the brakes. There’s a lot of trial and error involved. These systems are expensive, so you can’t just toss them aside and buy a new one. You can come up with ideas and make changes in the shop, but troubleshooting really only happens when you are on the track. If you figure three laps for hot laps, a couple laps for qualifying, ten more for a heat, and a 25-lap feature, our max for a night is about 40 laps…and those are almost all competitive laps. Something is at stake every time we are trying to figure out the issue,” Ross explained.
Ross turned in a decent performance at Bridgeport, but was still dealing with some brake issues throughout the night. He qualified 11th overall, finished 4th in his heat, and started 12th in the A-main. A top-ten finish was certainly within reach.
The brake issue worked against Ross at the start of the A-main, and he fell to 15th in traffic. Before he could rebound and regain the spots, the rains came and stopped the race after just ten laps.
CAN’T CATCH A ‘BRAKE’
To add to their challenges, upon returning to their shop and performing maintenance on the car to prepare for the coming weekend at Williams Grove, the team discovered a broken valve spring in the engine. Likely another reason for the slow start in Bridgeport’s finale.
Fortunately, the engine builder was able to make the repairs quickly. Ross and his team had the powerplant back in the car Thursday night, less than twenty-four hours before the National Open kicked off.
While that was good news, Ross was still fighting brake issues. The team went over the entire system again and made some changes in hopes of finally eliminating the issue.
Friday night at Williams Grove, Ross timed 9th in his flight and started 5th in his heat. The top five finishers would transfer directly to the A-main; however, the brake issue hindered Ross, and he slipped to an 8th-place finish.
Ross started on the pole of the B-main and only needed to maintain a top-four spot to advance to the feature, but the struggles continued. He faded to a 6th-place finish.
“After the heat race, we went back to work on the brakes, but unfortunately, what we did made it worse. I basically had no brakes at all in the B-main. It may sound odd, but you can’t get around this place fast without brakes,” Ross explained.
“I knew the car was good, though. It has a lot of speed in it. I told my team if we got the brakes figured out, this thing (the white car) was going to be really, really good.”
UNEXPECTED FAVOR
“Leaving the track Friday night, Tyler Esh stopped me. He recognized that we were having brake issues, so he told me he was going home and taking his Smith Titanium system off of his car to bring to our shop Saturday morning for us to put on our car,” Ross shared.
“I told him I appreciated that a ton. We had tried everything and just couldn’t figure out the issue with our system.”
The brake system change was completed Saturday, along with the usual maintenance and race day prep, then it was back on the road to Williams Grove once again.
The loaned brake system did the trick.
Ross timed 5th quickest in a stacked flight that included names like Gravel, Kofoid, Dewease, Macedo, Wagaman, Dietrich, Rahmer, Dietz, Scelzi, Pursley, Peck, and more. He went on to transfer through his heat race and earn the 13th starting spot in the National Open main event.
With 56 quality race teams on hand Saturday, it was no small accomplishment just to make the show, but he held his ground and brought the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service No.5 home 13th at the end of the 40-lap event.
“Saturday was huge for us. We haven’t been great at Williams Grove this year. We put it in the show and had a shot at a top ten finish against this field. I’m feeling pretty good about what our team accomplished,” a very happy Ross said.
“With the brake issues resolved, I was kinda learning the car all over again in the heat. Obviously, it has had speed all along, but I can drive it differently with brakes, so we had to make some adjustments after the heat.”
“I can’t thank Tyler Esh enough for loaning us his Smith Titanium brake system. It solved our problem and gave us a chance tonight.”
“Rick Ciarrocchi bought this new motor for us this year, specifically because he had a goal of making the National Open. I’m proud that we checked off that goal for him.”
It was especially satisfying for Ross and his team, not only because of overcoming the brake issue, but because they have been through so much other adversity in 2025 as well.
The team struggled early in the season and made the decision to change shocks mid-season. They have also had multiple truck issues, making it a challenge to find a way to get to the track at times.
“Everything combined to put a lot of pressure on me and the entire team. Moral has been down. Honestly, it was affecting the team to the point we weren’t sure what we were going to do in 2026,” Ross admitted.
“When we thank all the people who support us, it’s not just words. We are talking about people like Tyler (Esh), Rick (Ciarrocchi), and all the other people who contribute to our program. If they don’t do what they do for us, we literally would not be here.”
“Saturday night took a huge weight off everyone’s shoulders. I can’t tell you how much that run meant to all of us.”
One race really can make all the difference.

Kaleb Johnson Eager for World of Outlaws Weekend in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Inside Line Promotions – MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (Oct. 6, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson is competing with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in New Jersey and Pennsylvania this weekend.
The Team DGRD driver will make his debut at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, N.J., on Friday during the New Egypt Showdown before heading to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa., on Saturday for the Keystone Showdown.
“I’m looking forward to the weekend,” Johnson said. “I’ve watched videos of New Egypt. It looks like a unique place. I’m excited to get to smaller tracks as that’s where we’ve been more consistent. Hopefully we can make the A Main, learn and roll it into the trailer each night.”
Johnson raced with the World of Outlaws last weekend at Williams Grove Speedway, which hosted the J & S Classics National Open.
The weekend began on Friday with Johnson qualifying 24th quickest in his group. He placed 11th in the non-qualifier before rallying from 11th to fifth place in the C Main.
On Saturday, Johnson was 20th quickest in his qualifying group. He ended 11th in a heat race and third in the C Main, finishing only one position out of a transfer into the Last Chance Showdown.
“We knew it’d be tough going into it and it wasn’t the weekend we wanted, but we got better as the weekend went on,” he said. “We needed to be quicker in qualifying each night. The starts there are pretty much everything and that’s something I need to work on. With how the corners are shaped and the long straightaways, if you can pass a guy or two on the start it’s everything. I think I raced okay. I just need to work on starts and putting myself in a better position to pass guys when I can. I got more comfortable as the weekend went on so there were some positives.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Oct. 3 – Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa. – Qualifying: 24; Non-qualifier: 11 (8); C Main: 5 (11).

Dover Joining High Limit Racing at Lakeside Speedway This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 6, 2025) – Jack Dover is planning to invade Lakeside Speedway this weekend during a Kubota High Limit Racing doubleheader.
The dirt track in Kansas City, Kan., hosts the Heart of America Showdown on Friday and Saturday.
“I’m very excited,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “I’ve won there in the past in a 360 sprint car and feel good going into two races with High Limit.”
Dover’s most recent victory at the fast track is an ASCS regional triumph in August 2012. He posted a runner-up result with the ASCS National Tour at the track in May 2023 and he gained the third-most positions during a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series race there in October 2023.
“I can use all of that for self-confidence,” he said. “The biggest thing I’m thinking about is how good we were there two months ago. If we didn’t have a malfunction I felt we had a good shot at winning the feature that night.”
Dover has made two visits to Lakeside Speedway this season with a best outing of 22nd in August.
“We really struggled our first visit, which was our second race of the season and with High Limit,” he said. “We went back in August and were leading a heat race when we broke a rear end. I felt we had really good speed from hot laps, qualifying, in the heat race. We had a really good setup. We’ll go there with that and see where we stack up this weekend.”

During Friday’s 25-lap feature, Gravel battled for a top five throughout the race before ending seventh. The following night he climbed into the top five on Lap 14, but a miscue cost him several positions two laps later.

Tanner Holmes Returns to Tarlton Motorsports and Scores
NARC Victory
PETERSEN MEDIA- Saturday night, Tanner Homes returned to the
seat of the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 entry to kick off the second part of
his 2025 schedule, and made some noise as he picked up his third win of the
year with the team as he was victorious with NARC at the Thunderbowl in
Tulare, CA.
“It was great to get back in the Tarlton Motorsports entry
over the weekend,” Tanner Holmes said. “Drew Warner and Nate Matherly really
had our car rolling and it was good to have speed right out of the gate.”
Running double duty on this night, Holmes and company were
in action with both the SCCT 360 Series as well as NARC.
With 35 cars on hand in 360ci competition, Holmes timed in
second fastest in his qualifying flight, but he unfortunately came up light
at the scales and his time was disallowed. Rather than get down, the team
used it as a true Tune Up opportunity for the Trophy Cup which is an event
based all on inverts.
Lining up eighth in his heat race, Holmes had his elbows up
in the Tarlton and Son, Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales
backed No. 21 as he carved his way up to fifth and locked into the feature
event.
Taking the green flag from the 18th starting position, the
only stoppage of the race came on the second lap when the red flag was
needed. Once the race got back into green flag conditions, the Jacksonville,
OR driver was on the move as he worked around the high banked speedway.
Working into the Top-10 at the race’s halfway point, Holmes
continued to work as he eventually took ninth on the 22ndlap, which is where
he went on to finish.
In NARC action, Holmes was just as good as he kicked the
night off by earning fast time honors in qualifications.
Lining up fourth in his heat race, Holmes simply settled
into fourth when the race came to life. Maintaining his position to earn a
Dash spot, Holmes’ fourth place finish put him in the Dash.
Pulling the one, Holmes lined up on the pole of the six-lap
shootout where he promptly stormed to the win and earned the pole for the
30-lap feature event.
Leading the field to green, Holmes flexed his muscle early
and powered away from the field. With the track being tricky in a few spots,
the Oregon native was able to find the smoothest surface as he clicked off
impressive laps.
Leading the way from start to finish, Holmes was able to
pocket his third win of the season aboard the famed Tarlton No. 21.
“We were really lights out in both cars, which is a huge
confidence boost as we ready for Trophy Cup,” Holmes said. “With us getting
caught behind in 360ci action, it worked out to where we could try some
things starting in the back to get us ready for having to pass cars next
week. Overall, it was a great night, and I was really happy to park this car
on the front stretch.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 22, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 8, Top 10’s: 12
ON TAP: Tarlton Motorsports and Holmes will off this week as
they ready for the Trophy Cup which will be hosted in Tulare, CA Oct. 16-18.

Reutzel and RSR claim Hawkeye Nationals title; Lakeside to continue High
Limit Racing schedule
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 6, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (October 6, 2025) – “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel was almost perfect in his weekend effort at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa, joining the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League for the two-day Hawkeye Nationals on Friday and Saturday, October 3-4.
Reutzel, the ace of Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Ridge & Sons Racing, Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprinter, finished no worse than second in his two-day campaign, eventually concluding action with a victory over Emerson Axsom in the weekend finale. The Hawkeye Nationals triumph, Reutzel’s second of the year with POWRi, secured a $7,000 payday, simultaneously pushing his season’s win tally to 12, as well as 34 top-fives. The Clute, Texas, native secured his trip to victory lane with a move on lap 10, driving on to lead the final 15 circuits.
As hinted, Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) opened their Lee County assault with a runner-up score on Friday, falling just behind Oklahoma’s own Brady Bacon.
“To get a win in Iowa is always special. We had a lot of friends, family, and partners with us all weekend at Lee County, so to get it done in front of them is a huge deal. I’m proud of everyone,” Brian Ridge was quick to note. “Our High Limit schedule continues this weekend in Kansas City…we’ll be ready. The team title is still in reach. We just have to capitalize.”
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel will continue their 2025

REUNITED: Ian Madsen drives TKS Motorsports to Hawkeye
Nationals podium at Lee County; Lakeside ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 6, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (October 6, 2025) – Ian Madsen’s return to TKS Motorsports was impressive, to say the least, not only driving the Mitchellville, Iowa-based operation to back-to-back POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League top-tens at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa, but the St. Marys, New South Wales, Australia, native ultimately capped the Hawkeye Nationals with a podium, finishing just behind Emerson Axsom and winner Aaron Reutzel. The podium resulted in TKS Motorsports’ fifth top-five of the season, now with 11 top-tens since the beginning of the year.
Although Madsen – who was sidelined due to a mid-season injury – finished higher in the Hawkeye Nationals finale, his effort in Friday’s opener was just as head-turning, eventually climbing 14 spots to finish sixth from row ten, simultaneously clinching the evening’s Hard Charger Award.
Padding their weekend stat sheet, Madsen’s preliminary effort in Saturday’s Hawkeye Nationals finale kicked-off with a heat race victory.
“Super proud of what Ian [Madsen] was able to accomplish this weekend. He’s a talented race car driver with a lot of confidence. We knew he may have needed some time to knock the rust off, but he certainly proved he hasn’t lost a step,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Hats off to this entire team. It was a hard-fought weekend in Donnellson, but we’re ready to keep this momentum going. Looking forward to Lakeside this Friday and Saturday.”

Doney-Lawson Racing caps Hawkeye Nationals with top-ten, to join High
Limit Racing at Lakeside
ByTyler Altmeyer
October 6, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (October 6, 2025) – It was a hard-fought weekend in the Hawkeye State for Odessa, Missouri’s own Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing, and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, eventually highlighting Lee County Speedway’s Hawkeye Nationals featuring the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League with a top-ten outcome, accomplished by Xavier on Saturday, October 4.
Finishing ninth, officially, Xavier’s top-ten – his 18th of the season – was the product of forward progress as well as perseverance, climbing ahead from 14th on the $7,000-to-win grid while simultaneously throttling by his Friday A-Main finish by five positions.
For POWRi Outlaw Sprint League Rookie of the Year contender Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and Doney-Lawson Racing teammate, the two-day headliner was productive in her own right, not only qualifying for the Hawkeye Nationals weekend finale, but driving on to finish 22nd. Although ultimately missing the top-ten, the A-Main qualification padded a growing resume, one that already includes an 11-position A-Main charge from earlier this season.
With Lee County’s Hawkeye Nationals officially in the books, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing will now turn their focus toward High Limit Racing, set to challenge the national travelers in a two-day appearance at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday and Saturday, October 10-11.

CRSA SPRINTS PREPARED FOR DUTCH HOAG MEMORIAL OCT. 18; SET FOR $4000 TO WIN, $300 TO START, EXTRA BONUSES UP FOR GRAB NIGHT BEFORE
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – October 1, 2025 – Photo By: Erika Bye
The high-paying races aren’t over yet.
After a successful weekend at Woodhull Raceway three weeks ago, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints will close 2025 Oct. 18 with the Dutch Hoag Memorial at Outlaw Speedway, paying $4000 to win, $300 to start, $100 to tow, in an altogether $14900 purse.
The event will be a one-day show paying show-up points to the overall championship. The night before, all drivers are invited to compete in Friday night's Empire Super Sprints show, which will pay $4000 to win, $400 to start and $100 to tow. CRSA and Racesaver rules are welcome for both days.
ESS and CRSA are helping racers stretch their budgets by waiving the $50 one-day pass for 360s/305s competed Friday, then 305s only Saturday. $20 pill draw still applies for both days.
Any teams that compete Friday, regardless of car, and then race a 305 Saturday will receive two free pit passes Saturday. Teams will have to pay at the pit gate and get an envelope for $90 when they pull their pill at the Mike Emhof Motorsports command center Saturday.
To raise the stakes, any driver who sweeps the weekend will receive a $5000 bonus in addition to the $4000 won each night. That’s $13000 in potential winnings across the weekend.
In addition, two separate points funds will be up for grabs. Those who run a 360 Friday and a 305 Saturday will be eligible for one points fund. Those who are 305 exclusive will be eligible for a separate points fund.
The point funds will each pay $1000 for first, $500 for second, $300 for third, $200 for fourth and $100 for fifth. (If someone wins both nights, they are not eligible for the point money, though the fund will still pay out to the remaining eligible teams.)
Many drivers have competed in both series this season, including series rookie points leader Zach Sobotka, New York 305 Nationals winner Billy VanInwegen, Jordan Hutton and Spencer Burley, among others. Sobotka, in addition to scoring five wins with CRSA, won an Empire Super Sprints feature at Brewerton last month. He is set to clinch the CRSA championship with an entry the 18th.
The format for CRSA’s event at Outlaw will be announced soon. The battles are set to take place Oct. 17 and 18 and will be live on The Cushion.
The CRSA Sprints are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025 and are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers. Associate sponsors include Pit Stop Convenience Stores, DisBatch Brewing Company, Dandy, Joe's Garage, Westward Painting Company, Elab Smokers Boutique, iFreeze Storage & Distribution Center, Maguire Automotive Group, Powdertech Powdercoating, Ruggles World of Auto Body, PJC Business Ventures, Profab Enterprises, Magsarus Ignitions, Highside Racewear, Hoosier Racing Tire, Insinger Performance with their Stinger Race Fuel, My Race Pass and is owned and operated by Mike Emhof Motorsports.

Jett Barnes displays speed at Fall Nationals in Chico/ Thunderbowl Raceway debut up next
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…Making his third career Silver Dollar Speedway appearance this past weekend, young Jett Barnes finished off the annual Fall Nationals by setting fast time in his group and running around the top five for a majority of the feature, until experiencing late misfortune.
“It was a great opportunity to head for Chico and compete at the Falls Nationals in memory of Stephen Allard,” Barnes said. “Opening night didn’t start off as good as I had hoped. We qualified ninth and then fell back a couple spots in the heat. Lining up in 19th I figured the track out quickly though in the feature and made it up to the top 10 at one point. While passing for ninth I got into it with another car when we stacked up. That essentially ended any chance of a solid finish.”
Barnes returned on Saturday and immediately demonstrated strength at the Fall Nationals finale. He ripped off an 11.980 to set fast time in Group A qualifying and brought home a third-place result in his heat race aboard the Clayton Snow Racing/ Gary Silva Ranches No. 7 entry.
It was good enough to solidify a spot in the evenings Dash, where he would claim a runner up finish.
“I was pretty confident going into Saturday since I knew we had a fast car,” he commented. “We were fortunate to get fast time in Group A qualifying and then finish third in the heat race. In the Dash I started third and got into second on the opening lap to earn a starting spot on the front row.”
Starting alongside 28-time Sprint Car champion Andy Forsberg, the Visalia driver ran in and around the top five over the first half of the 35-lap main event. A wild conclusion was seen over the final stages and Barnes positioned himself in fifth on a restart with 10 laps remaining.
When the green flag waved again, he battled hard with Kaleb Montgomery and Dominic Gorden for the third position.
He then attempted to take over the fourth spot on lap 28, but just enough contact ensued, resulting in him getting over the edge of the banking and into the wall. He was able to continue but fell back to 10th, before ultimately finishing the contest in P13.
“I was struggling a bit at the beginning but after about 15 laps or so, the top came in and I was able to move back up to the front pack,” Barnes stated. “As the race was winding down, I was attempting to pass for fourth when the car in front of me jumped the cushion. Unfortunately, we came together, and it sent me off the track, resulting in another tough finish.”
Barnes will now set his sights on Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare this Saturday with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up marks the first start of his career at the famed one-third mile clay oval.
“I feel like I learned a lot this past weekend and look forward to Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday for the Trophy Cup Tune-Up. I am very excited to run Tulare for the first time. I feel that it will be a track I enjoy because it’s a place you have to run hard at. Hopefully we can bring home a good finish.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate while live video will be provided by www.calidirt.tv and www.floracing.com

October 1, 2025 - The Mississippi / Alabama Sprint Cars will be back in action this Saturday night October 4 for the third time this season at Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama. The winged 360 pavement sprint car event will pay $2,000 t win and $500 to start.
Winged sprint cars returned to the legendary half mile speedway for the first time in six years this past April 26. Tampa, Florida driver Johnny Gilbertson found victory lane after a furious battle with Dave Mader III for most of the race. That successful event led MIS owner Eddie Showmaker to add a second event on September 6. Teenage sensation Colton Bettis won that event in dominating fashion.
After two highly successful winged sprint car events at MIS in 2025, the most recent October 4 date was added. Race organizer Fred Fayard has also indicated monthly 360-winged sprint car events will be featured at the track in 2026.
Saturday's event will also be part of the "Backyard Brawl 125" and will include the UARA National Super Late Model event. The nights racing is being sponsored by Johnny's Premier RV, Fred Fayard Inc, and presented by RB.
Expected entrants include early 2025 winners Johnny Gilbertson, Todd Fayard, Blake Mallette, Joey Schmidt, and Butch David among others.
EXPECTED ENTRANTS

By Curtis Berleue
(Fulton, NY) | With just one point paying race left on the schedule, the Empire Super Sprints head to the Fulton Speedway this week as part of the annual Outlaw 200 weekend. Headlining the Friday night action, the stars and cars of the best 360 sprint car drivers in the northeast will compete for a $2,000 to win top prize. While Jordan Poirier has already locked up his third consecutive championship, the points battle behind him is very much alive going into the final night of action. Dylan Swiernik, who has had a breakout season thus far that includes winning the CNY Speedweek title, currently sits in second place with a 148-point advantage over Davie Franek in third. Behind Franek, Jason Barney sits fourth in points with Shawn Donath rounding out the top five. In two events completed at Fulton already in 2025, Shawn Donath was the most recent winner back on August 30. Dylan Swiernik picked up the CNY Speedweek win at the Oswego County oval on July 5. Both drivers look to cap off the 2025 season with a strong points finish, as each of them sit in the top five in points currently as well.

race, Hartmann wound up second to earn the 13th starting position in the

Arenz drops curtain on remarkable 2025 campaign
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 1, 2025 – Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team crew capped a highly memorable 2025 season with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series curtain closer as part of the eighth annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., on Saturday, Sept. 27.
The 18th-year racer began the night by qualifying a strong third in the 33-car field with a lap of 11.554 seconds. Arenz then placed fifth in the third IRA heat race to earn a dash spot.
The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion then placed fourth after starting third in the second four-lap dash to gain the eighth starting position in the 30-lap Rick Schmidt Memorial main event.
Arenz’s participation in the main event proved to be short-lived, as he was involved in a four-car incident in turn two on lap three, which ended both his night and the 2025 season.
“The night started out on a positive note as I ran a third quick qualifying lap, but the night quickly started to take a turn in the opposite direction,” Arenz said. “With hurting the equipment I have in the last few weeks, I had to run my backup car again. I describe that car as temperamental and it really challenges my skills as a driver. It requires very technical adjustments and really makes you work for it. We fell back a few spots in the heat race, but I was able to get back into a transfer spot, which allowed a starting position in the dash. Very early on in the feature, I was, unfortunately, caught up in a wreck with nowhere to go, ending our night early.”
Arenz capped the 2025 campaign with three A-main victories, five podium showings, 14 top-10 finishes, six heat race victories, 13 dash appearances, three dash victories, and one fast qualifier award in 24 completed events.
The clear highlight of both his 2025 season and his entire racing career was a highly improbable $26,000 victory against the biggest names in the Winged Sprint Car business with Kubota High Limit Racing at the Rayce Rudeen Foundation event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., on Thursday, June 4.
Arenz also tallied two IRA A-main victories at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 17, and 141 Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 13, to finish 2025 with a career-high three 410 Sprint Car victories in a season.
On the downside, mechanical issues and on-track incidents forced Arenz to retire from a handful of main events early and to miss IRA events at Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 6 and Jackson Motorplex on Saturday, Sept. 20. He ended the 2025 campaign eighth in the final IRA point standings.

Thunderbowl Raceway hosts penultimate SCCT event this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Tulare, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is set to make its annual October trip to the Central Valley for this Saturday’s “Chris & Brian Faria Memorial” at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.
It marks the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at the track prior to Trophy Cup 31 on October 16th-18th. Purse info and more on the lucrative event can be found via www.tularetrophycup.com
The Faria Memorial this Saturday October 4th also features the NARC 410 Sprint Cars and has long been a cornerstone on the Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway schedule over the years.
Chris Faria was an up and coming driver who was the youngest of five children to Danny Sr. & Arlet Faria. He grew up on their farm in Tipton and was known as the prankster of the family. Chris unfortunately lost his life at the age of 21 during a farming accident and his memory has been kept alive with a memorial race at the Thunderbowl Raceway ever since.
Brian was the oldest of the five Faria children and was taken from us in January of 2006 during an accident while driving on a highway. Brian enjoyed helping out with the track preparation at the Thunderbowl, as he drove the water truck and the grader among other things.
“We look forward to hosting the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on Saturday,” track GM Josh Miller said. “It’s always one of the big events at Thunderbowl Raceway and having both SCCT and NARC should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 4th and then return for the Trophy Cup in a couple weeks.”
With two events remaining in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season, it continues to be Austin Wood sitting atop the standings.
The 15-year-old from Sacramento hung tough to record an eight-place finish during the most recent race in Petaluma and looks for another consistent outing at Thunderbowl Raceway this weekend. Wood ran eighth at Tulare during a local event in May.
Yuba City’s Seth Standley finished right behind Wood in the main event at Petaluma Speedway and goes into Tulare 47-markers back of the lead. Standley will be searching for a strong night at the Thunderbowl to close the gap.
Rounding out the top five going into the penultimate round of the campaign are Bozeman, Montana’s Cole Schroeder, Redding’s Max Mittry and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes.
Comprising the remainder of the top 10 are Brentwood’s Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Marysville’s Carson Hammes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.
The SCCT stop at Thunderbowl Raceway last year was captured by Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick over Central Valley racer Caeden Steele and San Jose’s Tim Kaeding.
Tickets and Details:
Adult Grandstand tickets for the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up at Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday October 4 cost $35, while Bleacher tickets are $30. Senior and child pricing is also available. Tickets can be purchased at the gate on race day.

Paul Nienhiser Scores Pair of Runner Up's In Return To
Racing
PETERSEN MEDIA After enduring a back injury on July 6th, Paul Nienhiser had been in rest, recovery, and rehab mode ever since. Late last week, the Chapin, IL driver got the green light to return to racing and despite being a little out of racing shape, Nienhiser picked up a pair of two second place finishes.
“My main goal in getting back in the car was just to see how my back would feel in a real racing scenario and back at speed,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Also, almost three months out of a car is a long time, so I was also just hoping to get some confidence back as well.”
Checking into Jacksonville Speedway on Friday night, Nienhiser made his comeback in front of a throng of family and friends. Drawing the seventh starting position for his heat race, Nienhiser quickly went to work a very rough and choppy race track.
With a very strong CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc./MB Heating and Cooling Inc. backed No. 9x under him, Nienhiser put on a show as he carved his way to a third place finish which put him fourth overall in ‘A’ Main points.
Making adjustments to his entry before the feature, Nienhiser was admittedly out of gas after the physically demanding heat race. Still, when the green flag flew in the main, he wasted no time jumping into second as he chased after Jake Neuman.
Doing all he could to hang on to his car as he wrestled through the rough surface, Nienhiser made a bid for the lead at the race’s halfway point but ultimately saw Neuman race back by him.
Hanging on to second, a very worn out Nienhiser completed the comeback with a valiant run.
Saturday night, Nienhiser headed to 34 Raceway for the Fall Haul in Scott Bonars owned No. 50, a place that the duo have been so good at year after year but an event that has alluded them.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Nienhiser jumped out to the early lead and never looked back. Picking up the win, Nienhiser moved into the Dash where he picked up a fourth-place finish.
When the feature went green, Nienhiser jumped into second as him and Dustin Selvage were putting on a show and pounding the fence lap after lap. With the track far less demanding than the surface on Friday, Nienhiser was still digging deep to will himself to the race finish.
Getting alongside Selvage a few times, he just didn’t quite have the forward drive he needed to pull off a serious challenge for the lead. A late restart bunched the field back up, and when the green flashed Nienhiser was able to pounce as Selvage made a slight bobble and found himself out front.
With his tires a bit sealed over, JJ Hickle was waiting in the wings and with all of the momentum he was able to get by Nienhiser and pick up the win as Nienhiser again settled for a runner up finish.
“I definitely exceeded all expectations last weekend,” Nienhiser said with a laugh. “First and foremost I have to thank the village of guys that made this possible. Scott, Bonar, Zoom (Greg Ford), Caleb Wankle, Drake Willhite, Weston Crews, Craig Grimsley, Travis Pence, and Zac Houtz played a massive role in making this all possible and they busted their butt’s both nights. I wanted to badly to give them a win for all they did for me, but with them behind me I am super confident in what is to come as long as I can continue to get myself back into racing shape.”
Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer, Dekalb/Asgrow, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-17, Wins-6, Top 5’s-10, Top 10’s-12
ON TAP: Nienhiser is scheduled to get right back after this weekend with two nights at Jacksonville Speedway on the schedule.

KCP Racing and Cory Eliason Team Up To Finish 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series Schedule
PETERSEN MEDIA: As 2026 plans start to come together and get finalized, KCP Racing and Emerson Axsom have ended their partnership as the team now looks to veteran driver, Cory Eliason, to finish out the 2025 World of Outlaws slate.
“First and foremost we want to thank Emerson Axsom for his services the last two months,” KCP Racing’s Matt Barbara said. “He came into our program at one of the most grueling times of the year and performed very well after stepping away from a very successful KPM team. With plans starting to come together for next year, we both felt it was the right time to go our separate ways and we think it gives him a great shot to get started on 2026.”
Moving forward, KCP Racing has tabbed Visalia, CA native, Cory Eliason to run the remainder of the Outlaws slate kicking off with this weekend’s event at Williams Grove Speedway.
“After the Dennis Roth Classic my season was over, so to have Matt Barbara call and offer me the chance to race for another month, I jumped at it,” Eliason said. “I am working on finalizing my plans for next year, and I know the KCP team has some changes coming, so really just looking forward to having some fun and hopefully giving this team a win over the last chunk of the season.”

Kaleb Johnson Makes Gains During Tripleheader Weekend in Pennsylvania
Inside Line Promotions – SPRING RUN, Pa. (Sept. 29, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson improved his results throughout a busy weekend in Pennsylvania.
“They were three completely different tracks, but all had similar heaviness,” he said. “We struggled to start each night, but got better the more laps we got.”
The action began on Friday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, where the Team DGRD driver was 18th quickest in time trials. Johnson then placed eighth in a heat race and 10th in the B Main.
“We were too snug pretty much the whole night,” he said. “We qualified okay. In the heat race I didn’t get a good start and then in the B Main we had the car a lot better. I made a mistake down the backstretch and got into the wall and tore the Jacob’s Ladder out. It was tough to do much after that.”
Johnson qualified 15th quickest to kick off his debut at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown on Saturday. A fifth-place result in a heat race locked him into the main event, which was washed out by rain.
“The track was a lot heavier than what we were expecting,” he said. “It was the one night we drew good and didn’t want to because the track got faster and faster. I felt we qualified okay. It was tough to do much in the heat race and then the feature rained out. It was good to get laps before the Outlaws show there in a couple of weeks.”
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Path Valley Speedway Park, where Johnson also made his first appearance. He was 17th quickest in his group during qualifying. A charge from ninth to sixth place in a heat race narrowly missed locking into the main event. Johnson finished fourth in the B Main to garner the final A-Main transfer position. He maneuvered from 24th to 15th before dropping four positions in the waning laps due to a tire going flat.
“We didn’t start off too good and were too tight at the beginning of the night, but we steadily improved,” he said. “We went forward in the heat race and hung on in the B Main. I was happy to make the show. It’s tough when you’re starting in the back like that. On a race track that small a lot can happen. We avoided all the wrecks and got better so that’s all I could ask for.”
Johnson will remain in Pennsylvania this weekend for the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway. He made his debut at the track and in the event last year.
“I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “Qualifying is the main thing. It’s a big weekend with a lot of cars. There’s a lot of emphasis on qualifying well to put ourselves in position to be competitive. I think my biggest goal is to try to make the feature each night.”

Tanner Carrick Picks Up A Pair of Top-10’s at Fall
Nationals
PETERSEN MEDIA: After a week off, Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports team was back in action over the weekend in Chico, CA where he scored a 10th place finish on Friday night before running 6th in Saturday’s Fall Nationals finale.
“Friday night we were pretty good, and I think we showed that after going to work area and then coming back out and still running in the Top-10,” Tanner Carrick said.
Friday night the weekend doubleheader kicked off with Carrick timing the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T in third quickest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Carrick battled hard with Nick Parker as the duo both looked for a spot in the Trophy Dash. Settling into second after a couple of circuits, Carrick held on to finish in the runner-up spot which put him in the fifth row of the opening night feature event.
Running in ninth as the race came to life, Carrick moved into eighth on the 11th lap before he was caught up in a tangle on the 12th lap and took a trip to the work area.
Able to restart the race, Carrick was back in 20th and didn’t have a ton of time to make up ground.
Doing what he could from the back of the pack, Carrick worked into 18th on lap 18 and then was into 17th on the 22nd lap.
Moving into 14th with five laps left in the race, Carrick was up into 12th on the 27th before moving back into the Top-10 on lap 29. Holding 10th for the final lap, Carrick capped off a solid rebound by going from 20th to 10th in 14 laps.
Back at the track on Saturday night, Carrick again got off to a strong start as he timed in third quickest in his flight for the second consecutive night. Again, on the front row of his heat race the Lincoln, CA driver was able to get the jump on this night.
Picking up the win, Carrick was locked into the Dash where his seventh-place finish put him in the fourth row of the 35-lap finale.
Getting into fifth when the race came to life, Carrick was in the fifth position when the red flag flew on the seventh lap for a medical emergency.
When the race finally resumed after an extended stoppage, Carrick was able to take over fourth, as the battle from second-fifth got extremely exciting.
Getting into third briefly at the halfway point, Carrick was back to fifth on the next lap.
Slipping back as far as seventh amidst tight knit action around the Silver Dollar Speedway Carrick was able to work back into sixth on the 28th lap and went on to close his night out there.
“We had a good car all weekend, and happy to get a couple of decent finishes,” Carrick said. “It was a fun weekend, and I am thankful for everyone that helped us out all weekend long.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

Andy Forsberg Scores 4th Career Fall Nationals Win
PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team had another strong weekend. Taking part in the Fall Nationals in Chico, CA, Forsberg picked up a third place finish on Friday night and came back even better on Saturday night at he claimed his fourth career Fall Nationals crowd.
“After the six weeks or so we had, to have two great weekends in a row is really satisfying,” Andy Forsberg said. “Not only for me as a driver, but for the team behind me who has continued to work through the rough patch. It is also pretty cool to get a win in front of one of my biggest fans.”
Kicking the weekend off on Friday night for the opening night of the Fall Nationals, Forsberg got things underway by timing the Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax/PHR backed No. 92 in fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver got a nice jump as he worked his way forward and finished third. By way of his finish, Forsberg not only locked into the opening night feature event but was also in the Dash due to his qualifying efforts.
Finishing fourth in the Dash, Forsberg rolled off the starting grid from the outside of the second row for the 30-lapper. Slipping back to fifth in the opening stanzas of the race, Forsberg worked his way into fourth on the restart with 11 laps to go in the race.
The next lap he overtook third as he chased after the lead duo of Landon Brooks and Dominic Groden. Unable to make a run at the top two in the final laps, Forsberg capped the opening night of the weekend off with a third place run.
Back in action for Saturday night’s Fall Nationals finale which also served as the season finale for Silver Dollar Speedway, Forsberg kicked the night off by timing in sixth quickest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row his Saturday night heat race, Forsberg got the jump and took the early lead. Wiring the field from start to finish, Forsberg was again in both the feature event as well as the Dash where the one pill put him on the pole of the six lap shootout.
Leading all six laps in the Dash, Forsberg found himself on the pole of the 35-lap Fall Nationals feature event. When the race went green, Forsberg quickly raced out to the early lead before a red flag was needed for a fan emergency on the seventh lap.
After the extended stoppage, Forsberg was back on the loud pedal as he raced out front with a torrid battle behind him. A couple of additional stoppages slowed the pace, and in the race’s closing laps Forsberg found himself in a hotly contested battle with Shane Golobic.
With Golobic throwing a pair of pass attempts at him, Forsberg was able to negate the efforts and score his 10th win of the season.
“Just happy to get back up front and getting this team back in victory lane and at a race that means a lot to many of us,” Forsberg added. “Thanks to Paul, Brian, Kelli, Jack, and everyone that was up in our pit area all weekend helping us out.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Dover Rebounds to Earn Hard Charger Award During Debut at Plymouth Dirt Track
Inside Line Promotions – PLYMOUTH, Wis. (Sept. 29, 2025) – Jack Dover captured the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars last Saturday during the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series season finale at the Plymouth Dirt Track.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver opened his debut at the track by timing in 14th quickest during qualifying. Unfortunately, a DNF in a heat race relegated him to the B Main. Dover won that race to transfer into the back of the main event.
“We went out third in qualifying and the track was a little greasy,” he said. “The track got faster and I ended up three tenths off quick time, but that’s part of the draw. Sometimes you wish you drew up front and sometimes at the back.
“We took off in the heat race and my steering gear was locking up going into turn one. It really started acting up so I pulled in. We got it switched and we were pretty good in the B Main.”
Dover hustled from the 21st starting position to 11th place by Lap 10 of the A Main, but a flat tire near the midpoint of the 30-lap race dropped him to the rear of the field. Following a pit stop to replace the tire, Dover was able to salvage a solid outing by climbing back into the top 15 before a last-lap pass gave him a 14th-place finish.
“We tightened the car up a little more, put some tires on and filled it with fuel for the start of the feature,” he said. “About halfway through we lost the left rear tire. We came in, switched it, got back out there and were able to pass a few more cars. Without that tire issue we were probably a fifth or sixth-place car.
“You can’t prevent a steering gear breaking so it’s one of those things. The tire coming apart, we couldn’t control that either. It stinks we had all that happen eight hours from home, but we never give up. We have fight in us and we have speed.”
The racing plan for this weekend is to be determined.

Sept. 27 – Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. – Qualifying: 14; Heat race: 8 (1); B Main: 1 (1); Feature: 14 (21).

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Bring Home Buckeye Brawl Victory
Inside Line Promotions – HARTFORD, Ohio (Sept. 29, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports and David Gravel drove into the Winner’s Circle for the 16th time this season last Friday during the Buckeye Brawl presented by NOS Energy Drink at Millstream Speedway.
It marked Gravel’s first World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series triumph at the track in Findlay, Ohio, and his 119th career win with the Series.
The night began with Gravel timing in fifth quickest in his group. A runner-up result in a heat race advanced him into the dash and a second-place showing in that race lined him up on the outside of the front row in the main event. Gravel battled for the lead throughout first third of the race before taking the top spot for good in traffic.
“Sometimes it’s better to be running second,” Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “Buddy (Kofoid) was searching around and running low below guys, and I got really big runs on him on the top. He didn’t know. He was just trying to get by lapped cars, and I was lucky to take advantage of it. He kind of went low and slid across, and I kind of followed him in to hit the bottom really good and got in front of him off of (turn) four. That was the winning move. I knew it was going to come down to a corner or two.”
The weekend in Ohio wrapped up on Saturday at Sharon Speedway, which hosted the Federated Auto Parts Showdown. Gravel was fifth quickest in his qualifying group and he won a heat race. He placed third in the dash and fourth in the A Main for his 53rd top five of the season.
The team holds a 150-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings with a dozen races remaining this season. Next up is the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., this Friday and Saturday. Gravel won the marquee event in 2014 and in 2017.
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 26 – Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio – Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 2 (2); Dash: 2 (3); Feature: 1 (2).
Sept. 27 – Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio – Qualifying: 3; Heat race: 1 (2); Dash: 3 (5); Feature: 4 (3).

Dietrich closes out weekend fourth with High Limit; Williams Grove
Speedway National Open to launch October slate
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025

(September 29, 2025) – It was a three-start weekend for Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, and although the team out of Gettysburg was short of attaining win #13, their results were stout in their own right, highlighting all attempts with a High Limit Racing top-five at Path Valley Speedway Park on Sunday, September 28.

Dietrich’s only weekend “disappointment” occurred on Saturday at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, where he was scored 14th with High Limit Racing. The truth is, only ten laps were recorded, as Mother Nature reared her ugly head and crashed the party.
“Hats off to Bridgeport for doing what they could to get the show in. I think we would have definitely moved forward, but we were low on time. Regardless, we’ll get our chance there again soon,” Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, said. “We want to win the National Open…we’re not really worried about anything else at this point.”

Whittall wheels to back-to-back top-tens; Williams Grove
Speedway National Open ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (September 29, 2025) – Back-to-back starts resulted in back-to-back top-tens for Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports, joining the field in Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open Tuneup on Friday, September 26, followed by a High Limit Racing appearance at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, on Saturday, September 27. The Vincentown, New Jersey, ace finished no worse than ninth in the weekend pair, and even that result had the potential to be greater, as Bridgeport’s main event was called after just ten circuits – Mother Nature being the culprit.
Whittall, the driver of his own RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, launched his weekend with a sixth-place outcome at Williams Grove Speedway, gaining valuable lap time and insight before the Outlaws invade for the $75,000 National Open. As hinted, Whittall closed out his weekend with a ninth-place finish at Bridgeport, but the main event was eventually interrupted by a downpour; he started 11th.
Whittall is a former winner at Bridgeport, scoring the season-ending Dirty Jersey Finale a season ago.
“Feels good to keep our consistency rolling,” Justin Whittall noted. “Definitely didn’t need that rain on Saturday. I think we had the potential to move forward. To have the opportunity to race in our home state in front of our friends and family is pretty special. That opportunity doesn’t come up too often. Everyone works really hard on this team and I’m grateful. We have a big one ahead. We’ll do whatever we can to put ourselves in a great position on Saturday night.”
ON DECK:

Williams Grove Speedway’s annual National Open on Friday and Saturday,
October 3-4. Saturday’s 40-lap finale will award a $75,000 payday.

SEASON COMPLETE: Andrews closes out 2025 by joining Outlaws in final Ohio
swing
ByTyler Altmeyer

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (September 29, 2025) – For the final time this season, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series invaded the Buckeye State, and Sandusky’s own Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing was in on the action, joining the Greatest Show On Dirt at Millstream Speedway in Findlay and Sharon Speedway in Hartford on Friday and Saturday, September 26-27.
Although the team missed the top-ten in each of their Ohio outings, there were plenty of shining moments, most of which accomplished at Millstream to launch the weekend. In fact, Andrews, a former Attica Raceway Park track champion, activated his evening with the fourth-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish fourth in his respective heat race before lining up tenth in the evening’s main. A great start, nonetheless, Andrews faded and was eventually scored 23rd, a misinterpreted setup being the culprit.
Andrews’ Sharon visit concluded in the evening’s Last Chance Showdown.
Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will now shut the door on the year, anxious to tear down and regroup for the 2026 season. The team will end their campaign with one victory and 14 top-ten appearances, the win occurring at Attica Raceway Park on Friday, March 28. Recent highlights include back-to-back eighth-place finishes in Fremont Speedway’s annual Jim Ford Classic – a weekend that featured the All Star Circuit of Champions.
“It was a fun season but I’m kinda happy it’s done. We did our best to improve and we definitely made some gains, but we’re ready to get things torn down and begin preparations for next year,” Chris Andrews noted. “To our partners, fans, and friends, we thank you for your support. We couldn’t do any of this without you. We’re pretty privileged to live in an area so rich in racing tradition. It’s a competitive part of the country, but it’s that level of competitiveness that makes teams as good as they are. We look forward to seeing everyone in the spring.”

ByTyler Altmeyer
September 29, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 29, 2025) – It was a roller coaster weekend in the Mid-Atlantic for Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), highlighting their trips to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Bridgeport, New Jersey, and Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run, Pennsylvania, with a top-ten finish, doing so at the former on Saturday, September 27.

Take away the hiccups and obstacles and I think we have a championship locked.
“Ready to get after it close to home this weekend,” Ridge continued. “Racing at Lee County gives us the opportunity to race in front of our home state partners. It should be an exciting weekend.”

MILLER SET TO MAKE 410 DEBUT WITH MUST SEE RACING
September 30, 2025 - Ocklawaha, Florida’s Daniel Miller is set to make his Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com debut when the series visits the Panhandle area for two nights of racing as part of the ‘Southern Shootout’. Not only will it be his first points paying MSR debut, but it will also be the first time he has run an unrestricted 410 engine in competition.
The series will visit Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on Friday October 3 and will conclude the racing weekend the following evening on Saturday October 4 at Montgomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama. Both events will pay $10,000-to-win.
The 2023 Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series champion is no stranger to asphalt winged sprint car racing. In addition to his championship, he has previously won with the series during his racing career.
Miller did compete in the special co-sanctioned MSR / SSSS ‘Children’s Dream Fund 50’ non points event in 2024, but it was a restricted 410 engine race. This weekend’s racing agenda will be the first time he will get to feel the true horsepower of a 410 engine. The SSSS is a 360 series.
“It will be the first time I’ve run with Must See Racing and with a 410 before. It’s definitely gonna be a learning curve” explained Miller. “I haven’t even tested the 410 yet. There is an open practice on Thursday. We’re gonna try and make it up for that to get some seat time.
“We’ve talked about running these races for a while. My car owner Chaz Hambling has had the 410 for a while. We ended up putting the 410 in about a month ago just to make sure we didn’t have any bugs or anything going on.
“These tracks will be new for me. I’ve run Five Flags in a late model but never in a sprint car. I liked Five Flags. It was definitely different. I remember it was fast and ate tires a lot. But comparing the late model to a sprint car there are two different animals.
‘We’re trying to get through some recent misfortunes with the car. We’ve struggled. We’re trying to get through some of the lows of the P1 car. We’re trying to get some of the things we’ve found wrong with the car straightened out. I think we’re there. If we do good this weekend, I think Chaz and everybody will be happy to do some more 410 racing in the future”.
The 29-year-old Miller began driving for the Chaz Hambling owned P-1 Chassis racing team in the spring. Despite driving for two different teams this season, he currently sits in seventh place in the SSSS points standings despite missing a race.
“Chaz has been great to drive for. Anything we’ve needed he’s bought. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. We explain it and he’s on board.
“I’d love to win this weekend. If the car is good, I think
we’ll have a chance. I’d love to run in the top five. We’re gonna have a
bunch of cars there so even a top ten and I’d be happy” concluded Miller.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (September 29, 2025) - It was a rocky

Madsen was battling within the top-ten on Friday before a late incident
forced him to retire; there was no time in the work area.
The Williams Grove Speedway National Open will launch a
two-weekend Mid-Atlantic stretch for the Greatest Show On Dirt, visiting New
Egypt, New Jersey, the following Friday before returning to the “Fabulous”

Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing claim opening night of the Fall Nationals
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…Landon Brooks made the move by Dominic Gorden early and fended him off for the duration of the feature to bring home opening night of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.
The 21-year-old drove a magnificent race through lapped traffic to tally his second win in three weeks aboard the newly formed Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise No. 21L Sprint Car.
“Lapped traffic was definitely treacherous in the feature,” Brooks commented afterwards. “It was hard to tell where everyone was going to go at times. Luckily it worked out and we are standing up here in victory lane to open the Fall Nationals.”
Brooks began the evening by qualifying fourth in Group B time trials at the helm of the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount.
He would get the jump in the night’s final heat race and lead flag to flag, locking up a spot in the evening’s Dash.
At the waving of the green flag in the six-lap contest, Brooks got an exceptional start from row two, moving into second and then attempted to challenge the leader.
He had to get out of the gas slightly though and it allowed Max Mittry the chance to get back by. He went on to cross the stripe in third, placing him on the inside of row two for the main event.
When the 30-lap feature began Brooks immediately hopped up to the second spot and then began to hound leader Dominic Gorden. With seven circuits complete the Yuba City driver made his move to rocket past Gorden and assume the point.
Racing through thick lapped traffic Brooks picked his spots wisely and went on to grab his second career Silver Dollar Speedway victory.
“I want to send a big thanks to Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst for getting me comfortable again,” Brooks said. “We have gelled well again right off the bat and that’s been great. Thank you to Dave Lippert for all his support along with Roger and Lori Hamilton for believing in us. We have a lot of great partners with this team and couldn’t do it without all of them as well.”
Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise will now get set to tackle Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the 31st running of the Trophy Cup on October 16th, 17th and 18th.
“I am really happy with our speed right now going into Trophy Cup,” he stated. “I look forward to the event, as I’ve ran well in Tulare with Steven and Kyle previously, so hopefully we can continue that in a few weeks.”
Tickets for the 31st Trophy Cup can be purchased at the gate while live video will be provided by www.floracing.com

Covington Claims ASCS National Win at I-55
Matt Covington Racing – Glenpool, OK (September 26, 2025)
Matt Covington battled through an action-packed weekend with the ASCS
National Tour, scoring a 4th-place finish Friday at Paducah International
Raceway after an early setback, then rebounding in a big way to claim
Saturday night’s victory at Federated Auto Parts I-55 Raceway in his Reece
Construction/D&W Towing/Simpson Race Products/Triple X machine.
Friday night at Paducah was shaping up to be another strong outing for Covington. After setting quick time in his group, finishing 2nd in his heat, and winning the dash, he led the early stages of the feature before a punctured right-rear tire forced an unscheduled trip to the pits. Restarting from the back, Covington charged through the field to salvage a 4th-place finish.
On Saturday at I-55, Covington set the tone early by breaking the track record and posting overall fast time. After transferring through his heat, he advanced to the dash, finishing 2nd and earning a front-row starting spot for the main event. With the green flag waving, Covington settled into 3rd before moving into 2nd by midway. As the race wound down and traffic became heavy, he maneuvered his Missile Motorsports/Outlaw Wings/KSE Products/Fisher Racing Engines-powered entry past the leader and held on through the closing laps to secure the ASCS National Tour win.
“This was a big win for us, and it felt great to get it,” Covington said. “We had a couple of mechanical issues throughout the night that kept us scrambling until feature time, so pulling it off was really rewarding. I-55 is such a historic, high-speed place, ...it fits my style and is always a blast to race at. Friday was tough with the flat at Paducah, but to rally back to 4th there and then win at I-55 made for a great momentum weekend. We’ve had speed all year, and it’s showing here lately. Now we just need to stay focused and finish strong these last few weeks.”
Covington also took time to thank his team and partners:
“None of this would be possible without the support of our partners,
sponsors, fans, and my crew. A big shoutout to Steven for all his hard work
at the shop and on the road. This is truly a team effort and the grind on
the road is not easy.”
The Covington Racing team will take the upcoming weekend off to regroup, freshen up the cars, and prepare for the final stretch of the season.

Steadying the Ship: Kody Hartlaub Closing in on Being
Consistent Contender
East Berlin, PA – September 26, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Kody Hartlaub felt like his second career 410 sprint car win was within reach last Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.
He had good reason to feel that way. He timed 5th quickest overall, then led every lap in his heat race, winning by over 2.3 seconds, to earn the pole for the A-main.
Hartlaub led 19 laps, but unfortunately, bad luck intervened.
“That one stings. A bolt came out of the brake pedal on lap 2, and I had no brakes. I feel so bad for my guys and my sponsors. I feel we had that one,” a disappointed Hartlaub explained.
“I was able to hang on to the top spot for most of the race, but the lack of brakes became extremely challenging. I tried my hardest to race the car to maintain as much speed as possible, but unfortunately, we dropped a few spots and ended up 5th.”
LEARNING FROM CHALLENGES
Coming off his first career 410 sprint car win six weeks ago, Hartlaub was feeling good about his team’s growth and progression through the 2025 season.
Hartlaub was inching closer to that moment for several races. The Williams Grove victory gave the East Berlin (PA) driver an average finishing position of 6.75 over a four-race stretch, a significant improvement over his average finish of 16th in the four races before that stretch.
With the Central Pennsylvania season heading into the home stretch, this was the timely momentum Harlaub, team owner Pat Brewer, and the entire NinetyFive Motorsports team needed.
The showing this past Friday certainly proves Hartlaub’s win in August was not a fluke, and it also shows the team can work through challenges and find their rhythm again.
The weekend after that August 15th win, Hartlaub kept the momentum going with two more top ten finishes at Williams Grove Speedway’s Jack Gunn Memorial and Lincoln Speedway’s Kramer Klash. However, the final weekend of August brought challenges and frustrating nights for Hartlaub and his team, who finished outside the top ten twice and failed to make the starting field once.
Hartlaub, Brewer, and the NinetyFive Motorsports team are well aware you can’t rest on your laurels in sprint car racing. What works today may not work tomorrow. It is a constant battle to find the combination needed to be competitive every time a team unloads.
“Some of the things we tried Labor Day weekend didn’t work like we had hoped, but that’s what you have to do in this sport. You have to constantly work to get better, but sometimes you learn the most from the things that don’t work,” Hartlaub explained.
“We took a week off at the beginning of September, and we worked on the changes we felt we needed to make to get our speed back. It felt good to see that pay off by getting back in the top ten at Williams Grove.”
Hartlaub was referring to the team’s effort back on September 12th, where he recorded a runner-up finish in his heat race and a 6th-place finish in the feature.
The following night at Lincoln Speedway, Hartlaub struggled, dropping out of the main event at the halfway point due to an ill-handling racecar, once again proving that what worked yesterday may not work today. The team went back to work that week to get ready for Williams Grove, and we now know they bounced back strong and nearly captured another win.
It’s an ongoing battle for every team in sprint car racing, a roller-coaster ride if you will, but when a team overcomes those challenges and achieves success, there’s nothing quite like that feeling of satisfaction. It’s only a matter of time until Hartlaub feels that again.
UP NEXT
Hartlaub and the NinetyFive Motorsports team will return to
Williams Grove Speedway Friday night for the final tuneup before the
National Open. Saturday night, they will venture to Bridgeport Motorsports
Park in Swedesboro, NJ, to take on the High Limit Racing series on the
high-banked 4-tenths mile oval.

PENALTY REPORT: Kreisel Fined & Suspended Following On-Track Incident at Lucas Oil Speedway
Belleville, IL. (9/24/2025) Following on-track retaliation and rule violations, POWRi officials have suspended and fined driver Riley Kreisel after actions that took place on Saturday, September 20, at Lucas Oil Speedway during the Hockett/McMillin Memorial in POWRi WAR Sprint competition.
During green-flag competition in the Wholesale Batteries POWRi WAR/MWRA Challenge Series feature, contact occurred between Landon Simon and Riley Kreisel, after which Kreisel slowed and brought out the caution. As officials attempted to direct the No. 91 off the track and into the work area, Kreisel accelerated and struck the No. 24 of Landon Simon, causing damage to the rear tail tank and bumper. After both cars came to a stop on the backstretch, Kreisel exited his car and attempted to inflict further damage on the No. 24 before POWRi and Lucas Oil Speedway officials intervened and removed him from the scene.
As a result of this violation, Riley Kreisel has been suspended from all POWRi-sanctioned events for six months. The suspension will pause at the conclusion of the 2025 race season and resume at the start of the 2026 season (pending schedules). In addition, Kreisel has been fined $1,000, which must be paid before he is permitted to return to competition. Upon his return, he will be placed on probation for six months at all POWRi-sanctioned events. Event payout from Saturday night has also been withheld by POWRi officials following the incident.

Press Release By: Marty Czekala – September 25, 2025 – Photo By: Erika Bye
After taking last weekend off, a vital doubleheader is set to commence for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints.
Saturday, a DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge champion will be crowned at Land of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua, in the series' final stop of the year at the Ontario County Fairgrounds.
Sunday is take three of the series' feature-only event at Weedsport Speedway, after being held back in July to determine if Zach Sobotka or Dillon Paddock will have the major championship advantage going into October, with a show-up points race remaining. The race will also determine the winner of the I-90 Pit Stop Championship.
At Land of Legends, Jeff Trombley and Bobby Parrow have scored victories this season and are the top two in DisBatch points. They will be among 17 drivers eligible to win the three-race miniseries in Canandaigua this season. It is also a show-up points race toward the overall championship.
At Weedsport, Parrow won a feature last May to end a series winless streak dating back to 2021. Back in July, the series completed preliminary actions for its second event at “The Port” in 2025, but the feature was postponed due to rain. A makeup race was planned for September but was rained out on the scheduled day.
Here’s a look at the news and notes leading up to race weekend.
Tune In: Action can be seen live for free on Land of Legends TV Saturday at Canandaigua, with a simulcast on DIRTVision, then on Dirt Track Digest Sunday at Weedsport featuring Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
Last Time Out: The biggest weekend in CRSA history took place with the return of the New York 305 Nationals at Woodhull Raceway, paying $4000 to win, making it the richest race in series history.
With $29000 paid over a two-day show. Friday night started with Twin 20-lap features to see who would be the first two locked into Saturday’s A-Main with a guaranteed top 10 spot.
Second-year 305 Sprint Car driver Spencer Burley picked off his first career A-Main after holding off Zach Sobotka throughout the second half of the feature.
In the second feature, Scott Landers started on pole and led all 20 laps to pick up his first career victory.
Moving into Saturday, Billy VanInwegen had been running consistently well in a part-time 305 schedule, finishing in the top five in every race, just yet to find that checkered flag.
While VanInwegen lost the lead after starting from pole, he regained it with 11 to go after passing Mikey Smith for his eighth career CRSA victory and first New York 305 Nationals championship.
“That’s very cool,” said VanInwegen. “I had my head down, really thinking hard during the long red. He gave me the top and I was able to get a really good run through the middle, clear him and set sail for third.”
Smith finished second while Dillon Paddock scored third.
Championship Scenarios: Starting with the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge, Bobby Parrow leads Jeff Trombley by seven points and Lance Dusett by nine.
Should the gap(s) not change into Saturday’s feature, a podium finish by Parrow would clinch the championship. A fourth or worse and Trombley could win to clinch. For Dusett, a fifth or worse for Parrow and the No. 14X would have a shot at the title.
Keep an eye on drivers in the top five in points, including Dillon Paddock and Zach Sobotka.
In the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, as long as Sobotka doesn’t finish 25th Sunday, he’ll win the I-90 Miniseries off a strong campaign.
Finally, with heat races in the books at Weedsport, a 13th or 14th place finish or better for Sobotka will clinch him the major championship advantage with one show-up points weekend remaining on the CRSA calendar. The No. 38's worst finish in 2025 is a ninth. Other than that, top fives. Sobotka finished fifth last May at “The Port.”
Paddock finished second last May, matching his best finish at the track from two years ago.
Rest of Standings: Outside of Sobotka and Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion Dillon Paddock, Dandy Miniseries champion Jordan Hutton runs third in points, 60 points ahead of Dalton Herrick in third, who had a rough full points show last time at Ransomville after flipping.
In the battle for fifth, Scott Landers is 20 ahead of Timmy Lotz.
The closest battle in the top 10 in points is for seventh, with Alysha Bay up seven markers on Spencer Burley.
The rest of the top 12 have Darryl Ruggles in ninth, 316 points behind Sobotka, Vince Chicklets in 10th, 398 points back, Bailey Boyd in 11th, 416 points behind the leader and Steve Glover in 12th, 547 points back.
CRSA Drivers vs Land of Legends Regulars: If there’s a 305 version of 410 series regulars vs the Pennsylvania Posse, it’s when CRSA heads to Land of Legends Raceway.
Expect drivers from the likes of Dillon Paddock, Zach Sobotka, Land of Legends Wall of Famer Darryl Ruggles, Alysha Bay and Spencer Burley to compete for good finishes against the track regulars from the likes of track champion Bobby Parrow, Lance Dusett, Ethan Gray and Dan Craun amongst the notables.
Three of the last four winners of a CRSA show at Land of Legends have been track regulars in the 305 Sprint division that year. Them being Bobby Parrow last July and Matt Rotz and Dillon Paddock last season.
2023 was a hybrid of CRSA/Land of Legends regulars when Dalton Herrick and Jordan Hutton took checkers two seasons ago (Hutton won the track championship in 2023 as well).
Extra for Saturday’s winner: Thanks to VanBortel Trucking, a right rear Hoosier tire will be on the line for the winner. Ike VanBortel gave out right rears earlier this season to the winners of both CRSA shows at Land of Legends.
Look Back at July 26: Preliminary action wrapped up before Mother Nature wiped out the feature not once, but twice.
Aaron Shelton won his first heat race of the year, narrowly beating Mikey Smith. Timmy Lotz, Johnny Smith and Scott Landers all won heats two through four, respectively. The Elab Smokers Boutique Scramble Dash saw Mikey Smith win the $100 bonus and start ninth.
The redraw saw Scott Landers take the pole, followed by Timmy Lotz starting second. Dillon Paddock will start fifth and Zach Sobotka starts seventh. For the full lineup, head to the bottom of the story or head to the MyRacePass app.
By the Numbers: Car counts have been heavy at Canandaigua for CRSA competition, with 29 and 31 cars in the earlier two shows.
12 drivers have found their way to victory lane in Canandaigua. Darryl Ruggles leads with five, followed by Jeff Trombley with four and Alysha Bay with three. Jordan Hutton and Bobby Parrow each have two and seven drivers have a win. Seven drivers recorded their first career win. Dan Craun is the only driver to qualify for all 22 A-Mains.
Entering Weedsport, 25 drivers will start the feature. Of the four past winners, three will take the green. 11 of the 24 drivers in the feature have finished in the top five at "The Port."
From the Frontman: “The end of the season is near and time has gone very fast. We’re excited to crown a couple of champions and see who will come out with the overall points lead at the end of Weedsport. Very thankful to Paul Cole for another great year of CRSA-sanctioned competition at Land of Legends and to Jimmy Phelps for being able to make up the race from July this late in the season, along with two great events in 2025." ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA will have a couple of weeks off before closing the season Oct. 18 at Outlaw with another New York 305 Nationals paying $4000 to win.

Winning Start For A New Combination
By Phil Michell Motorsport Media
The South Australian Wingless Sprint season got underway
last Saturday night on a chilly September night at the Murray Machining and
Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway. Despite an early start to the season the first
event attracted a healthy car count of 34 competitors. After six heat races
and a B-Main the top 20 drivers battled it out for the opening 25 lap finale
and when the chequered flag fell it was a familiar name in victory lane.
After a heat win and a second placed finish earlier in the
night former Australian Champion Joel Chadwick made a successful debut
driving for Andrew and Lyn May as he drove their immaculately presented #47
to a convincing win. After starting on the front row and leading the opening
14 laps Rylan Furler had to settle for the runner-up position while
Mildura’s Jordon Bolitho was impressive all evening and capped off a great
night as he filled the final podium position.
Michael “Spike” Spoljaric was next across the line while
Robert Heard completed the top five. Darryl Sloan had one of his best
meetings for some time as he finished sixth ahead of Bordertown’s James
Rodda, Ross Miller, Hayden Mason, and Aaron Kennett. Darryl Knuckey and Sam
Martin were only other finishers. Up until the final lap Martin was destined
for a result just outside the top five until contact with Tate Cowie robbed
them both of a better result.
The biggest casualty of the main event was Jess Alexander,
who’s night came to a premature end after inverting his bright pink and
black #84 in turn four.
Earlier in the night the heat winners were Jordon Bolitho
(2), Rylan Furler, Robert Heard, Lochie Evans and Joel Chadwick.
Rookie Hayden Mason made an immediate statement as he was
the only debutante to qualify for the A-Main after winning the B-main while
Leanne Turner, Victorian Aaron Kennett and Thomas Walkom also transferred
via the last chance qualifier.
The next event on the South Australian Wingless Sprint
calendar will be a double header at Bordertown’s Tolmer Speedway on Friday
October 10 and Saturday October 11, 2025. Last season an invitational field
of Wingless Sprints supported the Grand Re-Opening of the venue, and this
will be the first time that an open event has been scheduled at the newly
redesigned high-banked track.
The Friday night meeting will the see the Wingless Sprints
programmed along with the Formula 500’s at what will be the venue’s Opening
Night of the 2025/26 season while the action will step up the following
night as Round 1 of the SA State Series will take place.

BRE RACING ENGINES RETURNS AS RUMBLE QUARTER MIDGET SPONSOR
Leading Ohio-based Engine Builder Shares in Excitement of Annual Indoor Racing Event
ROSSBURG, OH (Sept. 25) – BRE Racing Engines, of McClure, OH, specializes in precision and attention to detail, which has led them to become one of the most respected and recognizable engine builders in the Quarter Midget racing industry. Owners Javin and Claire Mendoza see those same qualities within the operation of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales and have continued their partnership with the annual indoor racing event to sponsor the Quarter Midget division.
Contested on a purpose-built 1/7-mile concrete oval inside Fort Wayne’s (IN) Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center, the event dates this year will be December 19 and 20, 2025.
“BRE Racing Engines looks forward to sponsoring another great year at the Rumble,” chimed Javin and Claire. Claire continued, “every year, those who race the Rumble come back itching for more of this exciting and challenging event.”
The challenges come in the form of deviation from traditional Quarter Midget racing. First and foremost is the size of the racetrack. The industry standard for Quarter Midget racing is a 1/20-mile oval. The oval inside the Expo Center is nearly 2-and-a-half times bigger than that; resulting in much higher speeds than the racers are accustomed to. With increased speeds, drafting skills and reflexes play high dividends in a driver’s performance. Drivers in the BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midget division range from five to sixteen years of age.
“The Quarter Midget division, and its young drivers, adds to the unique concept of the Rumble,” noted promoter Larry Boos. “Sharing the same racetrack as the Midget, 600cc Midgets and go-karts throughout the weekend can be taunting and demanding for the younger drivers but entertaining for the race fans.”
“The Rumble has been one of our most favorite events in all our years of racing,” commented Javin. “The atmosphere is like none other – the size of the building, the size of the track, the size of the crowd we race in front of, and the competition level puts this event high on the ‘must do’ list.”
Each day/night of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales offers complete racing programs for the six-divisions of BRE Racing Engines Quarter Midgets.
Javin concluded, “our racers and customers benefit from our experience, professionalism and the highest standards in race engine preparation and assembly. The Quarter Midget racers at the Rumble do the same – they benefit from the experience and professionalism of a first-class indoor racing event.”
Complete event and ticket information for the Rumble in Fort Wayne will be released in November.

CRSA Sprints Issues Penalty to No. 66 Hutton Racing; Clarifies Rulebook to Strengthen Pit Area Safety
SODUS, N.Y. — The CRSA Sprints has announced disciplinary action against the No. 66 Hutton Racing team following multiple safety and conduct violations that occurred during Night 2 of the NY 305 Nationals at Woodhull Raceway on Sept. 13, 2025.
A monetary fine was issued to the No. 66 Hutton Racing Team and the driver, crew and sponsors of the No. 66 Hutton Racing Team have been placed on probation for the remainder of the 2025 season.

Tyler Ross Employing Calculated Risks To Accelerate
Success and Team Growth
Abbottstown, PA – September 23, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross knows very well that for a sprint car team to be successful, they can never stand still. A team can never assume that what worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
The Lincoln University, PA driver closed out August with positive momentum in his Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5 program, but when the team returned in mid-September, they were prepared to implement changes to keep their program moving forward.
SHOCKING
At Lincoln Speedway’s Weldon Sterner Memorial, Ross rolled out a new shock package.
While there is always a learning curve for any equipment change, this one was certainly good right out of the box. Ross logged the 6th quickest lap in Flight 2 qualifying and a runner-up finish in his heat race.
Ross started 12th in the A-main and was looking to move forward as he has done so often this season; however, a close encounter with another competitor on the start dropped him back a few positions. He was never able to fully recover the track position and came home 14th.
“We weren’t as bad as the finish looks,” a positive Ross said. “I got chopped on the start, and that cost me a few spots. Everyone is so close, so starts are really important. When you lose momentum like that, it’s just hard to make up those positions.”
BLACK AND WHITE
The following weekend, Ross unloaded his white-bodied car, a chassis and engine combination better suited for the demands of Williams Grove’s long straightaways. The car was brand new for 2025 and had only logged a few races earlier this summer.
Ross’s night got rolling with another solid qualifying effort, 6th overall. He backed it up with another 2nd-place run in his heat race, putting him 9th on the grid for the 25-lap feature. He moved forward early in the A-main and held the 8th spot at the halfway mark. In the closing laps, he slipped outside the top ten briefly but was able to battle back to secure a top-ten finish.
“We’re still battling brake issues with this car, so I’ll take 10th. Anxious to see what we can do with this car when we can get past that issue,” Ross shared.
“We are planning to run this car with High Limit at Bridgeport this weekend, as well as here at the National Open.”
Ross closed out this past weekend with a stop at BAPS Motor Speedway for the Kevin Gobrecht Classic. This time, he was strapped into his black-bodied No.5.
The night got off to a rough start with a poor qualifying lap, putting Ross deep in the starting lineup for his heat race. An 8th-place finish in that qualifying race translated to starting 20th in the A-main.
Ross saved his best for last. He charged from his 10th-row starting spot to finish 12th and earn the Hard Charger Award for the event.
“We knew changing our shock program was going to be a learning curve, but we still felt the need to make a change to try to be a bit better,” Ross explained.
“It might not have been the ideal time to do it this late in the season with a lot of big races happening, but I’m confident we will figure it out. It’s only been a few races with them, and there are things we have done well and not so well. We just have to keep digging.”

Spencer Bayston So Close at Roth Classic
PETERSEN MEDIA- Wrapping up a three-race stint with Tarlton Motorsports
during the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series’ CA swing,
Spencer Bayston saved his best for last as he nearly used last lap heroics
to win the Dennis Roth Classic only to come .021 seconds short as he ran
second.
“Anytime you get the chance to run with the Tarlton
Motorsports group you know it’s going to be a good trip,” Spencer Bayston
said. “It was great to unload with speed every time we hit the track, and it
was great to finish with a strong run on Saturday night.”
Checking in at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA on Saturday
night for the Dennis Roth Classic, Bayston got the night off to a great
start as he timed the Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive
Auto Sales backed No. 21 in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Lebanon, IN
driver mashed the throttle when the green flag was displayed and quickly
jumped out into the lead. Leading from green the checkered, Bayston’s win
not only locked him into the $83,000-to-win feature event, it also put him
in the all important Dash.
Pulling the three in the redraw, Bayston was able to gain a
spot and improve his starting a position by a row as his second place finish
put him on the front row of the ‘A’ alongside Kaleb Montgomery.
When the feature came to life, Bayston settled into third as
he chased after the lead duo of Montgomery and Corey Day. Looking strong in
third, a restart on the 13th lap saw David Gravel get by and put him back in
fourth.
A restart on the 18th lap saw the leaders get together, and
Bayston was able to dart to the lead, however the caution flew and put him
in second as David Gravel found himself out front.
When the action restarted Gravel paced the field though
Bayston didn’t let him out of his sights. Though Gravel did create a bit of
a gap, Bayston seemingly saved his best for the last laps as he closed in
with five to go, and made things exciting up front.
As the two raced through traffic, Bayston was all over
Gravel as the white flag flew. Getting into the wall a bit in turns one and
two, Bayston made a massive recovery down the back stretch and used a full
head of steam to pull alongside Gravel as they raced through three and four.
In a drag race coming to the checkered, Gravel was barely
able to fend Bayston off as he came up just short of the massive win and
fell just .021 seconds short of the big pay day.
“It really is a testament to the program that (crew chief)
Drew Warner runs with the ability to get myself comfortable that quick and
to be able to contend with the best cars in the country. I really want to
thank the entire Tarlton family as well as everyone associated with Tarlton
Motorsports for having me out to drive for them.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 32, Wins: 7, Top 5’s: 17, Top 10’s:

Pokorski banks solid Jackson Nationals debut
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 23, 2025 – In his first appearance at the prestigious 47th annual Jackson Nationals, Alex Pokorski acquainted himself quite nicely with the fast four-tenths-mile Jackson Motorplex in co-sanctioned Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association, Northern Outlaw Sprint Association, and Midwest Sprint Touring Series competition at Jackson, Minn., on Saturday, Sept. 20.
Behind the wheel of the No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team 410 Sprint Car, Pokorski was fast right out of the trailer, qualifying 13th overall in the strong 35-car field with a lap of 15.565 seconds.
After starting on the outside of the front row in the second heat race, the fifth-year Sprint Car campaigner fell back to seventh in the running order. He pulled off the racing surface on lap 7 after experiencing smoke from an overflow of oil.
Based on the Jackson Nationals points formula, Alex earned the 17th starting spot in the 24-car A-main field. He drove a smooth and consistent race on the way to a 21st place showing in his first Jackson Nationals 30-lap main event.
“I really liked Jackson,” Pokorski said. “I felt comfortable right away on the top of the track. As the track changed from track work, we didn't make the right changes. Eventually, the track came back to us as it dried out later in the feature. Being behind at that point, I spent the rest of the race trying to learn how to run the inside berm effectively. It was a bit challenging, but I had fun. It was encouraging to have speed early, and we learned some things on how to set up our car for bigger tracks.”
Pokorski is planning to make an appearance at the final event of the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season on Saturday, Sept. 27, at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

WORLD OF OUTLAWS SPRINT CARS SET FOR REGION'S ONLY
APPEARANCE OF 2025 SATURDAY AT SHARON
September 24, 2025
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway will close out the 96th anniversary season this Saturday night (September 27) as the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series invade the 3/8-mile Hartford, Ohio oval for the Federated Auto Parts Showdown. The Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods will also be part of the show. Warmups will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by qualifying and racing.
Saturday will be the season's only appearance in the eastern Ohio/western Pennsylvania region by "The Greatest Show on Dirt" and the final one of 2025 in the Buckeye State. Unfortunately, Mother Nature has claimed the last two scheduled WoO shows at Sharon including the May 24 event as well as this event one-year ago; however, Saturday's weather is looking perfect with sunshine and temps in the upper 70s.
The last time the World of Outlaws competed at Sharon was on May 18, 2024 when David Gravel pocketed a $12,000 payday for his first career Sharon win. The WoO completed both events at Sharon in 2023 as the May show was won by 10-time Series Champion, Donny Schatz, for his first Sharon "410" feature win. Brad Sweet topped the September show for the second straight year in route to his fifth Series championship. In 2021, Dave Blaney won in spectacular fashion over Sheldon Haudenschild for his 95th career WoO win, but first since 1997!
Prior to 2021, the World of Outlaws last appeared at Sharon on June 1, 2007 when the "King of the Outlaws", Steve Kinser, scored the victory. Kinser leads the way at Sharon with four WoO wins, while aside from Sweet, Danny Lasoski is the only other repeat winner with victories in 2002 and 2004. Besides Gravel, Schatz and Blaney, other WoO winners at Sharon with one victory include the retired racers of Jac Haudenschild (2006), Jason Meyers (2005), and Joey Saldana (2002).
Entering this all-Ohio WoO weekend (Millstream Speedway on Friday night), defending Series Champion, David Gravel, sits atop the standings. Gravel, who also leads the Series in victories at 14, has a 150-point lead on 11-time winner, Buddy Kofoid. Carson Macedo also has double digit victories in 2025 with 10 and is third in points. Two-time 2025 winner, Logan Schuchart, is fourth over Ohio fan favorite Sheldon Haudenschild, who also has two wins.
Schatz will look for his first win of 2025 as he's teamed up with Jason Sides for the first time this weekend, and despite already competing in four different rides, Schatz is still holding on to sixth in points. Bill Balog has had a solid sophomore season on the tour winning three times and is seventh. Positions 8-14 are made up of WoO rookies with Garet Williamson leading the way over Chris Windom, Cole Macedo, Hunter Schuerenberg, Zach Hampton, Skylar Gee, and Conner Morrell. Two other substitute drivers for platinum teams that will be on hand include Kerry Madsen aboard the Tony Stewart Racing #14 and Emerson Axsom in the KCP Racing #18.
The World of Outlaws will bring 16 full-time teams to Sharon on Saturday to take on the very best throughout Ohio, western Pa., and beyond. Sharon has completed just six Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Car events in 2025 as the World of Outlaws, Western PA Speedweek, and the Ohio Speedweek All Star Circuit of Champions events unfortunately all fell victim to Mother Nature in addition to the July 26 Bala Management "Super Series" event. The average car count in those six events is 30.
A.J. Flick ended a two-and-a-half-year winless drought at Sharon winning the May 10 opener. Dale Blaney then won the next two events aboard his brother Dave’s famous red #10. Danny Dietrich won his first “Lou Blaney Memorial” on August 9 worth $13,000. Two nights later, Brandon Spithaler got the monkey off his back with his first career Sharon “410” win. And most recently, Cap Henry, who is having a career best season throughout Ohio, won his fourth career race at Sharon in his 2025 debut on August 16.
Also on the program are the Alcon Mechanical Econo Mods racing for $800 to-win. The Econo Mods have completed seven events this season. Coleton Longwell leads the way with three victories including the most recent worth $1,200 on August 23. Joe Gabrielson is the only other repeat winner, while Brendan Warner and Garrett Calvert have one win each. The Econo Mods have averaged 28 cars per event this season, and another strong field expected Saturday in their final race of 2025.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award to the Econo Mods. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature.
The Performance Bodies "Nosed Out" program will award a $100 Performance Bodies gift card redeemable only at Wedge Motorsports to a driver in the Econo Mods. The recipient will be the driver that most closely beat out another competitor for any finishing position on the lead lap in those divisions. Tiebreaker will be the driver with the best finishing position.
There is no Sharon registration fee for Econo Mods. One-way driver radios are mandatory; channel 454.000. AMB/MyLaps transponders are required; rentals available for $25. If you have yet to register for the 2025 season, please bring the registration form with you completed https://www.sharonspeedway.com/downloads/get.aspx?i=1006835
Alcon Mechanical Econo Mod Feature Payoff: 1. $800 2. $400 3. $300 4. $250 5. $225 6. $220 7. $210 8. $200 9. $190 10. $185 11. $180 12. $175 13. $170 14-18. $165 19-24. $160.
Fans can not only experience viewing from the frontstretch and backstretch grandstands, but also from the infield fan zone, which includes concessions and restrooms. Sharon is the only track in the area to have viewing from the unique infield perspective. There will be times throughout the night when fans can cross on the frontstretch back and forth.

Lattomus Taking One Step Back To Take Two Forward
York Haven, PA – September 24, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91 team were building steady momentum as August came to a close. The young Lewes, Delaware driver was learning and adapting, producing better results and glimpses of the team’s potential.
Since then, over the past three weeks, they have struggled to achieve the same results, although the learning and adapting certainly continue.
There’s often more to changes in a race team’s performance than meets the eye. An improvement or a decline can stem from a lot of different factors. Luck of the draw when you qualify, track conditions, setup choices, decisions behind the wheel…there are a lot of factors any given night. Equipment differences are also part of that equation.
There is a lot to learn for a rookie 410 sprint car driver. Handling the horsepower, making split-second decisions behind the wheel, providing feedback to the crew without much experience to base it on, and dealing with the elevated level of competition are just the beginning.
Add equipment differences to that equation, and it gets even more complex and challenging for any driver, let alone a rookie. These aren’t excuses; they are the real challenges of the sport of sprint car racing.
While fans may not see the difference from their seat, since the beginning of the season, the 91 team has been racing two different cars on a rotating schedule. This not only builds depth to their program, but it also prevents a single motor from being ‘lapped out’ and in need of a refresh too quickly.
There are very few subtle differences between the cars, but the differences are enough that identical setups and driving styles aren’t guaranteed to produce the same performance.
“We had a very good stretch in what we call the NJ car, and I started to get used to and like the motor we have in that car,” Lattomus shared.
“The past few weeks, we have been racing what we call our PA car, which has a slightly different motor in it. The guys and I have been working hard to adjust and give that car what it wants to be fast.”
In simplest terms, differences between engines can affect where peak horsepower is reached during a lap. That can affect corner exit and/or corner entry speed, which then necessitate different chassis setups and/or driving styles to achieve equivalent lap times as another combination.
“Right now we are definitely in a slump, but we are taking one step back to make two steps forward,” Lattomus commented.
“We have been able to work together and start to show improvement over the last couple of races with this car. Our results may not show it, but as each night progresses, we improve.”
There is no better opportunity for a driver and team to learn than when they are facing challenges.
“My feedback and communication within the team has definitely been a big thing recently in trying to become better all around when we are struggling like this,” Lattmus explained.
“With only a handful of races left, we will have limited chances to show how much we have improved as a team, but we are heading in the right direction for sure.”
Lattomus will return to Williams Grove Speedway this Friday, then will take on the High Limit Racing series at Bridgeport Motorsports Park on Saturday.
The race at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, which is located in Swedesboro, NJ, is a big one for Lattomus, not only because the touring professional series is coming to town but because he has family and friends right across the Delaware River bridge from the event, giving them a great opportunity to see the young Delaware driver compete in person.
The following weekend, Lattomus will compete twice with the World of Outlaws, first at New Egypt Speedway in NJ, then at Lincoln Speedway in PA.

Skagit Speedway
Alger, WA - The final race weekend of 2025 is here. It's time for the fourth annual Survive the 55 with the IMCA Modifieds. Join us at Skagit Speedway this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26-27, as some of the best Modified drivers battle it out for 55 laps and $10,260 – the highest paying Modified race on the West Coast! Plus, you won't want to miss the last appearance of the CGE Garage Midgets on Friday and the 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday.
For the fourth time, some of the best IMCA Modified drivers flock to Skagit Speedway for the Survive the 55. Jon DeBenedetti was the inaugural winner back in 2022, with Grey Ferrando winning in 2023 and Tom Berry Jr. winning in 2024. The Skagit Speedway IMCA Modifieds wrapped up their 2025 season points chase this past Saturday, Sept. 20, and Jeff Westergard won his second Skagit Speedway points title. Westergard finished the season with two wins, seven top fives, and eight top 10s in eight features raced. The Sedro-Woolley, WA native was the only driver to never finish outside the top ten in all eight races. Adam Holtrop ended the year second in points, eight points shy of Westergard. Holtrop had seven top fives and seven top 10s in eight features raced. The only time he missed the top five was May 3, when he finished 11th. James Bundy finished third in points with three top fives and seven top 10s in eight features raced.
Cole Logan tied Westergard with the most wins this year, both winning twice, with Logan also taking home rookie of the year honors. Last year, Tyson Blood was the highest-finishing driver from the State of Washington, after starting eighth, he picked up two spots to finish sixth. Ferrando was the hard charger, moving up 12 positions to finish ninth after starting 21st.
The CGE Garage Midgets wrapped up their season on Friday, Sept. 19, on Night One of Season Championship weekend. They will be the support division on Friday, just like they were in 2024. Nick Evans got the win that night after starting fifth. Shane Smith won the season points championship this year with two wins and eight top fives in eight races, not missing the top five once. Ryan Orchard finished second in points with three wins, six top fives, and eight top 10s in eight features. Evans finished third with no wins, five top fives, and seven top 10s in eight features.
The 360 Sprint Cars are here one more time for their final appearance of the season. They were the support class in 2024 as well, and Trey Starks won that night with Colton Heath charging from sixth to second. Starks finished the regular season on a high note, wrapping up championships in both the 410 and 360 Sprint Car Divisions. The driver from Puyallup finished the year with five wins, nine top fives, and 10 top 10s in 11 features raced. Jason Solwold finished second in the points with two wins, seven top fives, 10 top 10s, in 11 features raced. Heath wrapped the top three with one win, eight top fives, and 10 top 10s in 11 features.

Landon Brooks logs laps at Thunderbowl Raceway with Fall Nationals Friday up next
By Gary Thomas
Tulare, CA…After winning the Last Chance Showdown in convincing fashion, Landon Brooks was able to advance forward in the main event, capping off a night of competition with the World of Outlaws at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.
“I definitely wish we could have gotten Friday in to have something to build off of going into the Saturday show,” Brooks said after his first 410 start with the newly formed Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise team. “I felt good by the end of the night though. I just didn’t get qualified well enough to start it off and that put us in a hole.”
The Yuba City driver began the Dennis Roth Classic by qualifying 19th in a stout field of 37 cars aboard the Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Ent/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount.
A seventh-place result in the heat race placed him into the Last Chance Showdown, where he started from the outside of row one. He got the jump at the waving of the green flag and never looked back on way to victory.
Starting 21st in a rare 28-car field, Brooks hung around the 20th position over the first half of the race.
The 21-year-old then began to climb forward over the final half, getting up to 15th at one point, before crossing the stripe in 16th to wrap up the night.
Next up for Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise is the Friday night portion of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.
The 32nd annual event held in memory of the late Stephen Allard finishes off the season at the famed quarter mile bullring.
In 2023 Brooks won a Winged 360 Sprint Car show at the track and ran third at the Fall Nationals driving for Tiner-Hirst Enterprise.
“I look forward to getting back to Chico one last time on Friday,” Brooks commented. “A couple years ago I had a lot of success at Silver Dollar Speedway with Steve and Kyle so hopefully that will continue this weekend.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via www.silverdollarspeedway.com while www.floracing.com will have live coverage.

Kaleb Johnson Improves Throughout 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – ROSSBURG, Ohio (Sept. 22, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson finished one spot shy of tying his season-best Kubota High Limit Racing result last Saturday during the 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway.
Johnson and Team DGRD decided to tackle the High Limit doubleheader at the half-mile oval with the weather forecast showing wet weather at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn.
“We hated to miss Jackson, but we ended up getting two nights in at Eldora,” he said. “From Friday to Saturday I got more comfortable and the crew guys did a great job. I was able to race better once I did that.”
Johnson opened Friday’s program by qualifying 16th quickest in his group. He advanced from eighth to sixth place in a heat race and from third to second place in the B Main to transfer into the back of the main event. Johnson ended the night with a 21st-place result.
“We didn’t qualify very good and that put us behind on Friday, but we were at least able to make the feature and run the laps,” he said. “That was important for Saturday. We continued to get better every time we hit the track.”
Improvement continued to show on Saturday as Johnson maneuvered from sixth to fourth place during a qualifier to lock into the main event. He started 15th and battled for a top 10 before finishing 13th.
“We were racing for a top 10 and I made a couple of mistakes and wasn’t able to recover,” he said. “It was great from where we started in qualifying on Friday.”
The team will head to Pennsylvania to compete this Friday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Saturday at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown and Sunday at Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run. Sunday’s event is a High Limit Racing show.
“I’m looking forward to it and going to two tracks I haven’t been to,” he said. “I have limited laps at Williams Grove and haven’t been to Lincoln or Path Valley. I want to make all the A Mains and get as many laps as possible.”

Sept. 19 – Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio – Qualifying: 16; Heat race: 6 (8); B Main: 2 (3); Feature: 21 (21).

Dover Records Top Five During Jackson Nationals to Lock Up MSTS Championship
Inside Line Promotions – JACKSON, Minn. (Sept. 22, 2025) – Jack Dover wrapped up the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars championship last Saturday when he produced a fourth-place result at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted the Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids.
It marked Dover’s first career 410 series championship and the second straight MSTS title for Tim Estenson Motorsports. Additionally, Dover became the first driver to win both the 410 and 360 MSTS championships as he claimed the 360 title in 2019.
“We expected to put ourselves in a position to contend for the championship so it was relieving to accomplish it,” he said. “It’s rewarding to deliver a championship to our team and the partners who support us.”
The Jackson Nationals opener rained out, leaving just Saturday’s finale as the lone race of the weekend.
“We were fastest in hot laps and second in our qualifying group,” he said. “They reworked the track so it was too good and everybody was fast in the heat race.”
Dover finished fourth in his heat race to advance into the King of the Hill. He placed seventh in that race to line up on the inside of the fourth row in the main event, which was sanctioned by the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series and the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association along with the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars.
“We got really fast about halfway through,” he said. “We had a shot at third or second, but the red came out with about six laps to go and we finished where we restarted – fourth. I feel like before the red came out we ran them down from a straightaway and traffic has a little to do with that. To be competitive and run fourth to Austin McCarl, who has a lot of laps with the World of Outlaws and High Limit this year and is the Knoxville Raceway track champion, as well as Ryan Timms, who won the Knoxville Nationals and Huset’s Speedway championship, shows how strong our team is. It feels like we’re getting the speed we’ve been looking for.”
Dover will make his debut at Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., this Saturday during the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series season finale. He has two top fives and three top 10s in four IRA features this season.
“The way this car has been working and how we’re figuring things out, I feel really good going into this weekend,” he said.
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 20 – Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 4 (4); King of the Hill: 7 (7); Feature: 4 (7).

Starks Wins Final Skagit Speedway Points Races to Secure 410 and 360 Track Championships
Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (Sept. 22, 2025) – Trey Starks made the most of Championship Weekend at Skagit Speedway, where he won both the 410ci and 360ci winged final points race of the season to earn the championship in each division.
That pushes Starks’ victory total to 10 triumphs this season, scoring double-digit wins for the second straight year and the fourth time in his career. Additionally, Starks became the first driver in 25 years and only the second person ever to capture those sprint car championships in the same season at Skagit Speedway.
“We did exactly what we needed and capped it off with two wins,” he said. “We had to work for both of them, but we ended up on top on Championship Weekend so it was pretty cool.
“There’s a fine line of racing hard and putting yourself in a bad spot. It was being cautious at the same time as moving forward. It was a good, smooth night each night. The track conditions were pretty slick, about the least amount of grip we’ve seen all year. I think that played into our hand. The pace slowed down so we could make our own pace a little and search around the track. It was two of the best nights of the year as far as our performance and the track conditions and the way it played out.”
Starks produced nearly identical results both nights by qualifying second quickest and advancing from fourth to second place in a heat race to make the feature redraw. On Friday, Starks lined up third. He took the lead on Lap 20 en route to his division-best fifth triumph.
“I fell to fourth on the start as the inside didn’t get as good of a start,” he said. “I think by the seventh lap we were into third. We got into second just before a restart around the one-third point. From there it was trying to track down Jason (Solwold). My preferred lane was through the middle and Jason was kind of finding it as well. I just had to wait for him to search around to open the lane lower on the track. Once he did that I was able to make my move and stay to his inside entering turn one. After we were in clean air the car felt really good. However, we had a tire going down about the last five laps and almost didn’t make it to the end. It was about as flat as it could be when the race ended. I’m surprised it didn’t explode.”
On Saturday, Starks started the 30-lap main event on the outside of the front row. He quickly took the top spot, but fell to second on Lap 15 before regaining the lead for good on Lap 24 for his division-best fourth victory.
“We grabbed the lead early and got to traffic,” he said. “I got slowed down a bunch. The track was really slick across so if you weren’t in the grip you were losing speed. I tried to make a move a lap or two early and got slowed down so we ended up losing the lead. We started chasing the leader back down and we had a caution. On the restart he went to the bottom and I went to the top to wind my momentum up. We had enough speed I was able to slide him into turns one and two.”
It marked the fourth straight year Starks has won the 410 championship at Skagit Speedway, where he was both the driver and owner champion this year, in 2023 and in 2022. Last year he was the owner champion while placing second in the driver standings. This year marked his second straight season of winning the 360 championship at the track.
Starks plans on wrapping up the season Oct. 16-18 at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., during the 31st annual Trophy Cup.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Produce Electrifying Win During Dennis Roth Classic
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Sept. 22, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel captured the $83,000-to-win Dennis Roth Classic in thrilling fashion last Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway.
The victory was the team’s 15th total win of the season and it marked Gravel’s fourth career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series triumph at the tricky track – tied for the most in Series history.
Following a rainout on Friday, the marquee event concluded on Saturday with Gravel setting quick time during qualifying for the 19th time this season. He then won a heat race before placing fifth in the dash. That lined him up on the inside of the third row in the main event.
Gravel dropped to sixth on the start before climbing back into the top five on Lap 4. He moved to fourth on Lap 12 and to third one lap later. With the top two making contact and going to the work area, Gravel inherited the lead on Lap 19. He led the remainder of the 35-lap feature, which concluded in a side-by-side finish at the line with Gravel edging Spencer Bayston by 0.021 seconds.
“I saw (Bayston) go around me coming to the white and knew I had to fill the hole in (turns) one and two,” Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I knew I wanted to get under Gauge (Garcia) there (entering turn three) and just drove in way too hard and couldn’t stick the middle and had to slide all the way across, and I figured he was coming with a run.
“What a race. Crazy deal what happened in the front there (between Kaleb Montgomery and Corey Day) and gave us a shot to win there. I think if those two guys don’t get together, we probably don’t have a shot to win the race. I’m just glad to hang on. You don’t want to lose races like that, especially big paying ones. It feels good to win another race at Tulare.”
Gravel extended his World of Outlaws points lead to 150 points heading into the Buckeye Brawl presented by NOS Energy Drink this Friday at Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio, followed by the Federated Auto Parts Showdown at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio, on Saturday.
Friday marks the first World of Outlaws race at Millstream Speedway since 1994. Gravel won last year’s World of Outlaws event at Sharon Speedway.

Andy Forsberg Puts String Of Tough Luck Behind Him As He Wins Adobe Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA: The last month has been trying for Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team. Saturday night was hopefully a turning point for Forsberg and company for the home stretch of 2025 as he raced to a Sprint Car Challenge Tour win at the Adobe Cup in Petaluma, CA.
“It has been a rough couple of weeks for our team, and this was hopefully the medicine we needed for a strong finish to the year,” Andy Forsberg said. “We were pretty good all night, and in the feature the track was as ‘Petaluma’ as you could get which is right up my alley and we were able to fend off (Sean) Becker and (Justyn) Cox to grab the win.”
With 23 cars checked in for the $5,000-to-win even, Forsberg kicked the night off by timing the Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax/Wilkie Masonry backed No. 92 in sixth quickest in qualifying time trials.
Earning the front row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA was able to get the jump as the field was shown the green flag. Leading from flag to flag, Forsberg’s win put him in the High Sierra Industries Dash where a third place finish put him in the second row of the feature event.
Settling into third whe the race came to life, a myriad of stoppages hindered the events flow, but Forsberg was able to use the early restarts to his advantage as he took the second spot on the 10th lap, and then surged his way into the lead on the 18th marker.
On a very fast Petaluma Speedway surface, the lead trio of Forsberg, Becker, and Cox seemed to be lighting fast as they spent much of their time playing a high speed game of chess through traffic when green flag runs allowed.
Able to make all the right decisions in traffic, Forsberg fended off to duo and recorded his ninth win of the 2025 season.
“Really thankful that my team has stuck behind me, and continued to work hard through the rut we were in,” Forsberg said. “Hoping we can take some of this momentum and run well again this weekend in Chico, CA.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races- 43, Wins-9, Top 5’s-22, Top 10’s-28
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are slated to take part in this weekend’s Fall Nationals in Chico, CA on Friday and Saturday.

NOONAN CHASING CONSISTENCY
HEADING into his second season in 360/LS Sprintcars, Koby Noonan has one main goal and is to be a consistent top five contender throughout his 2025-26 season campaign.
After finishing just outside the top three (fourth) during last season’s SRA Series point standings in the 360/LS Sprintcar class, Noonan has mapped out a 14 night season schedule throughout Victoria and it is where he is aiming to be a consistent top five runner.
“I’m very excited about my second season in 360/LS Sprintcar racing, and I feel that I learned quite a lot during my first season, which I’m hoping can be the launching pad for an improved run this season,” enthused the 24-year-old from Bairnsdale in Victoria, who is really looking forward to being able to race twice on home soil – Bairnsdale Speedway – this season.
“My main goal for this season is to be a top five contender on a consistent basis, and if I can do that, I’m hoping I can improve on my fourth place finish in last season’s SRA Series point score.”
Apart from being consistent, Noonan is looking to continue his steep Sprintcar learning curve.
“When it comes to Sprintcar racing, there is so much to learn, and as they say, it’s basically a five-year apprenticeship, and here I am in my second year,” the VA # 26 KZS Auto Works / Sondra’s Hairdressers supported Cool car driver commented.
“I feel that I’m growing in confidence with every outing – both out there racing and within the car itself – and I’m hoping that can continue this season.”
During the off season, Noonan made the massive trip up to Cairns Speedway in North Queensland to compete in the Thunder in the Cane Fields over two weekends in August. It was a mixed run for Noonan and his team, which saw them in the wars during the opening weekend with two crashes and then they bounced back the following weekend to come away with a pair of top 10 finishes.
The first outing of the new season for Noonan is set to be this Friday night (September 26) at his home track: Bairnsdale Speedway.
KZS Motorsport would like to thank their 2025-26 season supporters:

Dakota Albright 4th at Wayne Albright Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to Merced Speedway to race in honor of his late father, Wayne, Dakota Albright picked up a fourth-place finish during the Wayne Albright Memorial.
“This is obviously a race that means the world to me, and it is one that I want to win very badly each year,” Albright said. “We had a really good car, but with the way the track was in the feature I just couldn’t get going to battle up front.”
Hitting the high banked ¼ mile in the first qualifying group, Albright got off to a solid start as he timed his Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Johnson and Matos CPA’s/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35jr in ninth quickest overall.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Waterford, CA driver got a great jump when the green flag flew and showed he may be a problem for the field in the feature event.
Grabbing the lead, Albright raced his way to the win which then put him in the second row of the Wayne Albright Memorial feature event, which he looked to defend his 2024 title.
When the feature came to life, Albright quickly took the third spot as he began chasing after the lead duo as they ripped around the extremely slick bullring.
Slipping back to fourth on the eighth lap, Albright started to get too free and searched around to find grip as he slipped back to fifth. Running in fifth as the track started to take rubber Albright settled in line.
Keeping his tires under him and in the rubber, he was able to make a move on the last lap to net a fourth place finish.
“I thought the track would take rubber a little earlier in the feature so we just got too free as it cleaned off,” Albright said. “Just missed it, but happy to get another top-five.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Johnson and Matos CPA’s, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nurcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.
ON TAP: Albright will have a few weekends off before returning to Placerville Speedway for the Hangtown 100 in November.

Doney-Lawson Racing with big results in busy weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer September 22, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (September 22, 2025) – The 15th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, proved to be a busy effort for Doney-Lawson Racing and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, entering not only the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League portion of the three-day turned two-day program, but Xavier Doney, the eldest of the Doney teammates and siblings, entered the POWRi WAR non-wing portion, as well. When the dust finally settled in the Show-Me State, Doney-Lawson Racing had accumulated a pair of top-tens, and incidentally, one with the wing on and one with the wing off.
Xavier Doney, ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter, earned each of the aforementioned top-tens, climbing ten spots to finish tenth in Friday’s POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League A-Main, followed by a ninth-place score in Saturday’s WAR non-wing A-Main. In fact, Doney was well on his way to a top-five in Friday’s WAR main event, that until a steering issue sent the Odessa, Missouri, native to the tail; he was racing in the third position with seven laps recorded.
Although missing the top-ten, Natalie Doney, younger sister and teammate to Xavier Doney, had a productive weekend in her own right, qualifying for each of the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League A-Mains on September 19-20 and highlighting all attempts with a 17th-place score on Saturday – a six-position advancement.
Xavier Doney’s stat chart now includes 17 top-tens on the season, two victories to boot. Natalie Doney, chasing Rookie of the Year honors with POWRi, owns one top-ten on the season, as well an impressive 11-spot Hard Charger Award.
ON DECK: Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing are unsure of upcoming plans. More news to be posted in the coming days.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (September 22, 2025) – For the final time in 2025, Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing joined the 410 Sprint Car field at Fremont Speedway, and like so many occasions prior, the Sandusky, Ohio, native raced his way to a top-ten, concluding the facility’s final sprint car event of the season with an eighth-place result from seventh on the grid.
Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer No. 15C sprint car, is a perfect four-for-four at Fremont during the month of September, finishing no worse than eighth even amongst the All Star Circuit of Champions in the Jim Ford Classic doubleheader.
“We’re rolling right along and it feels pretty good. We’ve been slowly building our program for next year…trying some things here and there to see what could better our performances. We’re almost out of time,” Andrews said. “Hats off to this entire team and all of our partners. It’s been a fun year and we’re privileged to be in this position. We’re going to keep working and hopefully cap our season on a great note. We’re excited to rejoin the Outlaws this weekend at Millstream.

Aaron Reutzel & RSR earn three straight podiums in visits
to Lawrenceburg and Eldora; New Jersey and Pennsylvania on deck
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 22, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 22, 2025) – Three nights of competition resulted in three straight podium appearances for “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR), highlighting their swing through Indiana and Ohio with an Eldora Speedway triumph on Friday, September 19 – the team’s 11th victory of the year. The $12,000 score, occurring in Eldora’s 4-Crown Nationals High Limit Racing opener, gave the team a heightened sense of redemption, as Reutzel was injured at the Speedway during Kings Royal Week in mid-July.
A dramatic ending, to say the least, Reutzel, ace of Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, earned his Eldora victory in the closing circuits, taking advantage of a three-to-go restart to work by High Limit Racing championship rival, Rico Abreu.
As noted, it was an all-podium week for the team out of Knoxville, Iowa, launching action with a runner-up score – edged out by less than a second – at Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on Wednesday, September 17, racing on to lead 23 laps before finishing third in Eldora Speedway’s 4-Crown Nationals finale on Saturday, September 20.
“It was a great week for this race team and I’m proud of everyone. We knew Eldora was going to be a little bit of a mental hurdle, but Aaron [Reutzel] persevered and got the job done…that says so much about what this team is capable of handling,” Brian Ridge, owner of RSR said. “We’re ready to head back east and do it again. The title chase is close and the schedule is running thin. We’re going to do what we can to keep this team in championship contention.”
ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Aaron Reutzel will continue their 2025 High

Justyn Cox finishes Placerville Speedway campaign with runner up at Forni-Humphreys Classic
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing have been one of the more potent combinations over the final stretch of the Berco Redwood championship season at Placerville Speedway.
Cox ultimately put a bow on the Placerville campaign this past Saturday by bringing home a runner up effort during the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic.
When all was said and done, he ended up finishing sixth in the final standings with a victory on August 9th at the competitive quarter mile.
“Though the final point result wasn’t ideal for what we had in mind, the goal of getting back racing steady and building mental confidence was achieved,” Cox stated. “The last handful of races we had a shot to win every show and that’s what means the most to me. I really had fun running my first full point season at Placerville and am super thankful to have such a great track so close to home.”
The championship finale this past Saturday saw him qualify third in Group B time trials, before dominating his heat race for victory.
Settling into fourth on the start of the 30-lap feature, Cox began to hound point leader and eventual track champion Tony Gomes. The pair raced close together in exciting fashion for multiple circuits, prior to the Clarksburg driver assuming the spot on lap 18.
Cox continued to be on the attack as the race wound down and would slip past Shane Golobic to grab the runner up position with just a few laps remaining. He went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag in that spot, recording his third result of second or better in the final four point races.
“Being one spot short of a third Forni is a tough pill to swallow, but I did all I could and know circumstances just didn’t allow much of a shot to contend for a win there getting to second so late in the race,” Cox elaborated.
The 31-year-old driver spoke about this season and gave his thanks to all involved.
“I am thankful for Josh, Roger and Lori for allowing this to happen in 2025, as it was a big undertaking for them to run two cars for most of the year. The unwavering support from all the sponsors was huge, Dave Lippert was a big part of the help as well and I want to send a big thank you to him.”
Cox also discussed being teamed up with sponsor Berco Redwood / Berry Lumber this season.
“Having Tim Berry and family with Berco Redwood / Berry Lumber back this year was very exciting for myself and our team. Tim has been a staple of my career for over a decade now. He’s supported me with many different teams and is always in my corner. I was so happy to pair him up with the 42x team and fly the Berco colors all season long at a track is title sponsor of. It felt amazing getting Berco back in victory lane on a car at Placerville, as well as just being associated with his great brand yet again.”

Arenz tallies 2025 victory No. 3 at 141
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 17, 2025 – Although it may not be his home track, 141 Speedway is the next best thing for Travis Arenz.
After earning the signature win of his racing career on June 5 with the Kubota High Limit Racing Series, Arenz backed it up with his first career Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main triumph at the unique third-mile semi-banked egg-shaped clay oval in Francis Creek, Wis., on Saturday, Sept. 13.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor opened the night by qualifying 10th in the 25-car field with a lap of 11.232 seconds. After winning the first eight-lap heat race, Arenz won the first four-lap dash to claim the pole of the 30-lap main event.
The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion fell to second on the opening lap and trailed race leader Danny Schlafer until using a low move to seize the top spot on lap 17.
Arenz, who claimed the 2016 Northern Sport Mod title at 141 Speedway, would not be denied the rest of the way en route to his second IRA A-main victory of the 2025 season, third overall main event triumph of the current campaign, third career IRA A-main win, and 74th overall A-main victory in 17 seasons of competition.
He opened the doubleheader weekend by qualifying 12th in the 29-car field at Wilmot Raceway on Friday, Sept. 12. After finishing third in the third heat race, Arenz advanced from the 11th starting spot to claim a fourth place showing in the 30-lap main event.
“I ran our backup car this weekend,” Arenz said. “This car tends to react to changes differently than my other chassis do, so we made what he had work. The car was not very good at Wilmot early in the night. However, it got better, and we had a respectable fourth place finish. We weren’t as competitive as we should have been, but I knew finishing was important.
“At 141, the car was decent in the heat race and dash, but again I had to make it work,” he said. “The car was much better in the feature. After making a few adjustments, I was able to move around the track as I needed to earn another victory at 141.”
Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team are set to enter the 47th annual Jackson Nationals at the four-tenths-mile semi-banked Jackson Motorplex dirt oval in Jackson, Minn., on Friday, Sept. 19, and Saturday, Sept. 20.
The 410 Sprint Car portion of the event is co-sanctioned by the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association, Northern Outlaw Sprint Association, and Midwest Sprint Touring Series. RaceSaver 305 Sprint Cars are also on the card both nights.
Racing program on Friday, Sept. 19 features the Tweeter Memorial presented by Joel Pingeon Trucking for $5,000 to win and $500 to start.
The Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, for $12,000 to win and $1,200 to start.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Celebrate Historic Win
at BAPS Motor Speedway
York Haven, PA – September 17, 2025

Image Credit: Tim Basehore / WRT Speedwerx
Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing captured yet another dominant victory this past Saturday at BAPS Motor Speedway, marking their impressive 14th win of the 2025 racing season. This victory, however, holds extra significance as it also marks Jackson’s 60th career win, adding another milestone to the long list of accomplishments in his storied racing career.
This weekend’s triumph, which came in Winged Sportsman competition, could very well be Jackson’s final time behind the wheel of a winged sportsman car, adding an air of irony and celebration to the already remarkable feat. As Jackson winds down his career, he continues to show the skill, determination, and consistency that have made him one of the most respected drivers in the Sportsman division.
“Realistically, I thought we would get to 50 as we started the year at 46, but I didn’t imagine 60 was in the cards,” said Jackson. “I’ve won a lot of races in my career, but this is the most we’ve ever had in one season. It’s been an unbelievable season.”
Jackson’s journey to victory lane started off with a solid performance in his heat race, where he finished exactly where he started—4th. The effort set him up well for the A-Main event, where he would line up in the same position. By the time the green flag waved, Jackson was already up to 2nd place, and within a handful of laps, he took the lead. From there, it was all Jackson, as he controlled the race and led the rest of the way to take the checkered flag with an impressive margin of 6.034 seconds.
“Honestly, the track wasn’t really to our liking early in the night, but Scott really convinced me the car would come to us later, and boy was he right,” said Jackson. “The car was so good come feature time, and when the car feels that good, you really just have to not mess it up.”
With only a handful of races remaining in the 2025 season, Jackson remains focused on finishing strong. The team will head to Path Valley Speedway next Saturday for one night of wingless competition.
“We’ve got a few shows left to go on the season and I’m
looking forward to closing things out strong,” he said. “We’ve been so good
in the wingless car all season, so I’m feeling confident in our chances, and
I’m just having a lot of fun these days at the track.”
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

RICO ABREU TO DRIVE FOR TONY STEWART/CURB-AGAJANIAN RACING BEGINNING IN 2026
Versatile Sprint Car Driver to Pilot TSR No. 24 in Kubota
High Limit Racing Series
BROWNSBURG, IN – September 17, 2025 – Rico Abreu will

Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, and the Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway

but also a great ambassador for the sport,” said Tony Stewart, owner, TSR.

the way he races. He competes with passion, and he is the gold standard for
the way he represents his partners and the sport.
“Rico is the complete package, and we’re genuinely excited
to have him join our program.”
Abreu is one of the most recognizable names in sprint car
racing. The 33-year-old from St. Helena, California, currently leads the
High Limit Racing championship standings thanks to a series-leading nine
victories. He is the 2014 USAC National Midget champion and a two-time
winner of the prestigious Chili Bowl Nationals.
“Driving for Tony Stewart Racing is a dream come true,”
Abreu said. “Tony has built one of the most respected programs in all of

begin.”

commitment to building on its legacy of success and competing at the highest
level of sprint car racing. Full details of team partners and the 2026
racing schedule will be released at a later date.

Petaluma Speedway Adobe Cup welcomes SCCT this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Petaluma, CA…With the season winding down the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is prepared to sanction the $5,000-to-win “Adobe Cup” at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday September 20th.
The evening of family fun at the 14th annual Adobe Cup marks the final appearance of the season for SCCT at Sonoma County’s longest running entertainment venue. Following this Saturday’s outing the Sprint Car Challenge Tour will have just two events remaining in 2025.
Adding to the excitement at the event will be the annual Bob McCoy Super Stock Memorial, along with the BCRA-WMR Midget Super Series.
The familiar Petaluma 3/8-mile oval routinely produces thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing, as lapped traffic can create some of the most frenetic competition of any venue on tour. Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 3:45pm and cars on track around 4.
“We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour as part of the 14th annual Adobe Cup this weekend,” said Petaluma Promoter Rick Faeth. “Petaluma Speedway doesn’t hold as many Winged Sprint Car shows nowadays, but the fans have certainly flocked to the track when we have. The Bob McCoy Memorial has also become a big stock car race, and the Midget Super Series has been successful this season, so we think this will be a superb program for everyone to attend.”
This Saturday’s 14th annual Adobe Cup marks the first event for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since finishing WST Speedweek in July.
Sacramento’s Austin Wood goes into Petaluma sitting atop the standings, as he looks to become the youngest SCCT champion in its history. Wood hopes to secure his first win of the season at the Adobe Cup.
Yuba City’s Seth Standley has moved to second in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings following Speedweek. Standley finds himself 46 points back of Wood and will be gunning for a solid night at the Adobe Cup to help close the gap.
Cole Schroeder has also been a common sight this year and has positioned himself third in the points with three shows remaining. The Bozeman, Montana driver stands 50 markers out of the top spot heading into the $5,000-to-win Adobe Cup.
Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion Max Mittry of Redding and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes complete the top five in the Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings with three rounds left.
The remainder of the top 10 in SCCT points is filled out by Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato, Brentwood’s Adrianna Demartini, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Marysville’s Carson Hammes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.
Multi-time Adobe Cup winner Andy Forsberg will be one of the favorites in the field on Saturday. The two-time SCCT champ ran second to first time Sprint Car Challenge Tour winner Chance Grasty during the visit in June.

Dave was not just a race organizer. He was a believer - in hope, in fans, in the ability of motorsports to create real-world change. For years, his partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the staff at the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway gave this event a soul. And when Dave came to 26 Promotions, he carried his wish: to see the Trophy Cup continue, with its charitable focus shifting to the Rayce Rudeen Foundation - a cause dedicated to saving lives and supporting families affected by addiction. We did not just accept Dave’s challenge. We embraced his legacy with everything we have. Today, the Trophy Cup remains a celebration of speed and skill, with a focus on the race fans perspective - but more importantly, it’s a rallying point for compassion, community, and healing throughout Tulare and beyond. Behind the scenes, some faces may change, but the soul of this event remains the same. We’re proud to work alongside Steve Faria, the passionate Tulare Thunderbowl team, and volunteers like the Gomez family, whose love for the sport and selfless dedication transform this race into something profoundly meaningful.

Jett Barnes caps Placerville Speedway season with fourth place finish at Forni-Humphreys Classic
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Rookie Sprint Car driver Jett Barnes wrapped up the Berco Redwood championship season at Placerville Speedway on Saturday, racing to a solid fourth-place finish in the main event.
Barnes, who made his Sprint Car debut at the track in July, won a feature at Placerville last month and was happy to finish off the red clay campaign with a strong night aboard the Clayton Snow Racing/ Gary Silva Ranches No. 7.
“It was a good way for us to end the Placerville Speedway Sprint Car season with a top five last Saturday,” Barnes said. “I want to give a big thank you to Clayton Snow and the whole team for their support.”
The most recent point race at Placerville on August 9th had seen Barnes qualify P2 and then run second for a majority of the main event, only to have issues late in the going hamper the strong outing.
At the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic this past Saturday he began the program by qualifying sixth in Group A time trials. Barnes then captured the night’s second heat race, placing him into the top eight redraw.
“I pulled the 23 pill to start things off, which put us in the first group of qualifying,” Barnes stated. “I felt like I made some decent laps in time trials and ended up sixth. That put us on the front row of the heat race and fortunately, I was able to get the jump and win it.”
Lining up on the inside of row three the Visalia driver ran among the top five for the duration of the 30-lapper, while being locked in several tight battles. With a few circuits left he solidified the fourth spot, where he went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag.
“The track was good in the feature and made for a lot passing. I found the right line late in the race and was able to bring home a fourth-place result. I always want better but to run top five in a stout field of cars was a positive.”
Next up for Barnes and Clayton Snow Racing will be the annual Fall Nationals at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway.
The two-night Winged 360 Sprint Car event will be his third time competing at the famed quarter mile.
Tickets can be purchased at www.silverdollarspeedway.com and live coverage will be provided by Flo Racing.

Skagit Speedway
Alger, WA – It's time to crown a champion this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 19-20, at Skagit Speedway. Join us for Season Championship weekend presented by The Skagit Casino Resort. The 360 Sprint Cars, CGE Garage Midgets, and Hornets race Friday, while the KarMART 410 Sprint Cars, Sportsman Sprint Cars, and IMCA Modifieds race Saturday. Saturday night, the sky will light up with a post-race fireworks show.
FRIDAY:
The 360 Sprint Cars return for the final time this year at Skagit Speedway as Trey Starks looks to go back-to-back and lock up his second 360 Sprint Car championship. The last time the 360 Sprint Cars were at Skagit Speedway, Jason Solwold won after starting on the pole. Cam Smith pulled out to the early advantage before Solwold tracked him down late in the race. Starks finished second that night. Starks leads the points firmly with 1112 and a 76-point cushion to Solwold, who has 1036 points. Colton Heath is in third with 1009 points, Levi Hillier is fourth with 971 points, and Tanner Holm rounds out the top five with 885 points.
The top three in points (Starks, Solwold, and Heath) in 10 A-Mains have all only missed finishing inside the top-10 once. Starks and Heath are tied for the most top-fives with eight, while Solwold has six top-fives. Starks has the most wins in the division at four, Solwold and Jesse Schlotfeldt have a pair, while Heath and Colby Thornhill both have one.
The 360 Summer Challenge Series wraps up this weekend at Skagit Speedway with Heath leading the way in points. Hillier is 20 points behind Heath, and Levi Kuntz is in third, 95 points behind Hillier. Destry Miller is fourth, and Bill Rude is fifth. Those top five in points are the only five that have participated in five of the six races so far. To be eligible for the points fund payout, you have to compete in all six races.
The CGE Garage Midgets return to Skagit Speedway this weekend after last racing Aug. 23 during All Phase Heating & Air Conditioning Night. Alex Peck picked up his first win of the year after starting second. Peck chased race leader Shane Smith for the opening nine laps until Smith tangled with a slower car, allowing Peck to drive around him on lap 10. Smith fell to fourth and recovered to second; however, he never got back around Peck.
Shane Smith still leads the points battle with 706 points, Ryan Orchard is second with 675 (-31) points, and Nick Evans is in third with 644 (-62) points. If Smith can secure the championship, it would be his second Skagit Speedway championship in the midgets; his first one came in 2022. Alex Peck is the defending champion from 2024; however, he is 93 points back in sixth place.
The Hornets are back one more time after racing just a weekend ago. Vance Hibbard charged from 13th to first to take the lead on lap six and never looked back to score his first Hornet win in six years. Howard Vos grew his points lead over Bryce Kolar in second. Vos now has 797 points, Kolar has 664 (-113) points, and Tazio Andreassen takes over third from Braxton Housman, who now falls to 10th after missing last Saturday, Sept. 13. Andreassen has 626 (-171) points. The championship would be the fourth for Vos, tying him with Freddie Vela for the most championships in the Hornets Division. The last championship for Vos was in 2023.
SATURDAY:
The KarMART 410 Sprint Cars are here for the final time in 2025, and the points battle has been hot coming into the home stretch. Jason Solwold had a five-point lead over Trey Starks going into last Saturday, Sept. 13; however, the points have now swung back in Starks ' favor. The T&C Concepts 55 now has a 13-point advantage over Solwold, who drops back to second. Robbie Price remains in third with a 124-point disadvantage to Starks. Solwold is the defending track champion from 2024 after Starks won back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023. If Trey wins, it will be his third 410 Sprint Car track championship.
Heath collected the win most recently, winning this past Saturday, Sept. 13. The win was the second of the year for him in the 410 division. Heath started second and quickly sprang to the lead and pulled away with the advantage. Starks moved his way from fourth to second and caught Heath in the late stages of the race, trading slide jobs with Heath but to no avail as Heath held him off despite a late race restart to take home the win.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars return after last racing the weekend before the Skagit Nationals. Steven Hendrickson is knocking on the door of Jayden Whitney, who is currently the leader in points. Whitney has 962 total points, and Hendrickson is second, only three points behind with 959 total points. Jesson Jacobson is third with 947 (-15) points. Any one of these three drivers could win the points championship with a good night. A perfect night in points is categorized as QuickTime in qualifying (15 points), winning your Heat Race (10 points), and winning the A-Main (100 points). This points system applies to all divisions except the IMCA Modifieds. There will not be a repeat winner, as Kai Dixon, the 2024 winner, has not competed in a Sportsman Sprint Car this year.
Hendrickson is the winningest driver in the Sportsman Sprint Car division with four; the next closest is Whitney and Jacobson, who both have two. Macie Logsdon has one. Hendrickson is also the most recent winner. This year, the top 12 car owners in the Sportsman Sprint Car Owner's Final Points Standings will have the chance to win one of four complete RaceSaver Engines, each valued at approximately $20,000! These engines will be awarded during the 2025 Skagit Speedway Champions Banquet.
That battle for the 12th and final spot is close, with just 10 or fewer points separating 12th from 15th in points. Dustin Gehring (owner driver) is in 15th place, behind Tony Bundy, who sits in that 12th and final spot. Gehring is 10 points behind Bundy. Wendy Johnson (owner of Allison Johnson's car) is in 14th place and eight points behind. Paul Hopkins (owner of Shawn Wallenfelsz Jr.'s car) is in 13th place and only two points behind Bundy.
This Saturday also serves as the final tune-up for all Skagit Speedway IMCA Modifieds before the Survive the 55 and Jeff Westergard is in search of his second Skagit Speedway championship. Rory Smith is the most recent winner in the division, picking up his first-ever Skagit Speedway win on Saturday, Sept. 13. Smith led all 25 laps, facing little challenge over his top spot.
Westergard leads the points with 266, Adam Holtrop is second with 255 (-11) points, and James Bundy is third with 247 (-19). The Modifieds receive points based on feature finishing position, so Holtrop could still beat Westergard, but Holtrop would have to beat Westergard by at least 12 finishing positions.

SWANSON CONTINUES TO HOLD TOP SPOT IN PAVEMENT SPRINT RANKINGS
September 16, 2025 – Anderson, Indiana – The fourth edition of the 2025 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings was revealed Tuesday afternoon, and Kody Swanson continues to hold the top spot. Swanson has held the top spot for most of the season on the heels of eight total wins in 2025.
Bobby Santos III has quietly moved into second place behind Swanson. Dakoda Armstrong has moved into the top three for the first time since the rankings were announced last season.
Sixteen-year-old Colton Bettis, who led the rankings briefly in the spring, is still lurking in fourth place.
Swanson currently holds a marginal lead over Santos, but it is far from safe. Some of the bigger pavement sprint car races are at the back end of the season including the Pink Lady Classic, a pair of 500 Sprint Car Tour events, a pair of Must See Racing events, and the Open Wheel Showdown. If a driver could get hot, and win any combination of these events, they could tighten the gap on Swanson to close the season out and make things interesting.
2025 NATIONAL PAVEMENT SPRINT CAR RANKINGS #4 (Thru 9/16/25)
1. Kody Swanson - 63

Landon Brooks scores victory at Forni-Humphreys Classic in first start back with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…On Saturday night, Landon Brooks delivered an exceptional performance at Placerville Speedway’s Forni-Humphreys Classic, securing the highest paying 360 Sprint Car victory in track history.
It marked his first night piloting the Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise No. 21L Sprint Car and paid a handsome $10,085-to-win.
“I’m thankful for everyone involved with this team and was really excited to have a great night last Saturday,” Brooks commented. “I am happy for Roger and Lori Hamilton and grateful that they believe in my abilities. They have put so much into this and I’m happy to get them a win at this race.”
Brooks kicked things off at the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic by qualifying second in Group A time trials aboard the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount.
A third-place effort in his heat race then placed him into the redraw, where he would pick the lucky number one pill.
At the waving of the green flag Brooks jumped out front and held the field at bay over the first several circuits. Hanging in tough for multiple yellow flag periods the 21-year-old was flawless on every restart, having to contend with veteran Shane Golobic.
A longer green flag run was then seen to complete the 30-lapper and Brooks worked lapped traffic to perfection during it. The Yuba City driver pulled away and accepted the Darin Stahl checkered flag for his second career Forni-Humphreys Classic win.
“Lapped traffic was a bit tricky, and I felt like I kept hitting the curb wrong,” Brooks stated. “I won the Forni-Humphreys Classic a couple years ago with Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst so it’s cool to get another one with them working on the car. I want to give a huge thanks to Roger and Lori Hamilton, Dave Lippert and Lippert Construction and everyone that supports us.”
Next up for Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise is the two-night Dennis Roth Classic at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink doubleheader will hand out a stellar $83,000-to-win during the finale.
“I am excited to get to Tulare for the Roth Classic this weekend,” he said. “A couple years ago with Steven and Kyle I had a lot of speed at the Thunderbowl so hopefully we can put together a pair of good nights with the Outlaws.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate while live coverage will be provided by Dirtvision.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Rebound for 50th Top Five of the Season
Inside Line Promotions – PERRIS, Calif. (Sept. 15, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports rebounded in a big way last weekend.
Misfortune halted a strong run on Friday at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif., where David Gravel was running second in the final laps when a flat tire relegated him to a 17th-place result – his second-worst finish in a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series points race this season.
The team responded on Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway, where Gravel was second quickest in qualifying before he placed second in a heat race, the dash and the main event.
“Bill (Balog) was awesome early on in lapped traffic,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “He was the class of the field. And then there at the end he started getting spinny. It seems like he got a hole in his right rear. When I had the whole bottom to myself, I was definitely gaining on him. Once he kind of moved down my car kind of unhooked. I still had a shot at it though. If I ran the bottom of (turns) three and four on the last lap, I think I had a chance to win.”
Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings is 144 points heading into the Dennis Roth Classic this Friday and Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif.
Gravel won the opening night of the marquee event last year for his third career World of Outlaws victory at the track.

Sept. 12 – Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif. – Qualifying: 7; Heat race: 3 (3); Feature: 17 (7).

Joel Myers Jr Set for Hockett/McMillin Memorial
PETERSEN MEDIA: A tough couple of weeks for Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports haven’t deterred the team as they have already began preparing for this weekend’s Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial in Wheatland, MO.
“It has been a tough couple of weeks for us unfortunately,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We broke a motor two weeks ago running fifth at Cedar Lake, then this past weekend we had a steering box go bad on Friday night, and then on Saturday we just struggled. Really looking forward to this weekend and getting to Lucas Oil Speedway.”
Spending this past weekend in Ohio competing with the All Star Circuit of Champions, Myers Jr got the weekend kicked off by timing the Velocity Engineering/IPC/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 19 entry timed in eighth fastest in his qualifying flight.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Sebastopol, CA driver finished third which put him in the 14th starting position for the feature event on a very slick Fremont Speedway surface.
Getting a good start when the race went green, Myers Jr jumped into 10th before he moved into ninth on the 3rd lap. Continuing to battled inside the Top-10 as he worked around the slick surface, issues arose on his Hayward Motorsports entry on the 30th circuit as his steering box failed and brought his night to an end.
Able to make repairs for Saturday’s event, Myers Jr and team were back at Fremont for the Jim Ford Memorial finale, as he kicked the night off by timing in sixth quickest in time trials.
Picking up another third-place finish in heat race competition, Myers Jr locked into the feature event as he took the green flag from the 12th starting position.
On another extremely slick racing surface, Meyers was just a little off as he never really was able to get going through the middle of the track like much of the field. Getting as high as 11th at the halfway point of the race, Myers slowly slipped back and capped his weekend off with a 15th place finish.
“It’s a tricky place and when it gets that slick it gets even more technical and we just missed it for the feature,” Myers Jr said. “Thanks to everyone who continues to support our team.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Dover Rallies From Ninth to Capture MSTS Event at Clay County Fair Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SPENCER, Iowa (Sept. 15, 2025) – Jack Dover earned his first career win at Clay County Fair Speedway last Friday in impressive fashion.
Dover guided the Tim Estenson Motorsports No. 53 from ninth to the Winner’s Circle during a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event.
“It felt really good,” he said. “Considering this was really the third week with our brand new car, to be as good as we were was a really good feeling.”
Dover moved from sixth to fifth place in a heat race to narrowly miss making the feature redraw. That lined him up on the inside of the fifth row in the main event. He advanced into the top five on Lap 3. By Lap 11, Dover was running third and he took over the runner-up position on Lap 13. Five laps later, Dover drove into the top spot en route to his second triumph of the season.
“I expected not to be in the redraw because we started sixth and the track wasn’t wide in the heat race,” he said. “We started the feature ninth and everybody kept ripping the top at the beginning. There was a lot of moisture on the bottom so I putted around the bottom probably the first 10 laps. Finally the bottom went away where I had to move to the top. I made a few slide jobs. The track was really good.”
The performance also earned the Hard Charger Award for gaining the most positions and it added to his lead in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings heading into the final doubleheader of the season.
Jackson Motorplex in Jackson., Minn., hosts the Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids this Friday and Saturday. The MSTS 410 Sprint Cars as well as the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series and the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association will be in action both nights.

Andy Forsberg 10th at Placerville Speedway’s Season Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA: Andy Forsberg and the PHR Racing team were back at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the Mark Forni/CJ Humphreys Memorial which capped the regular season at the track, and Forsberg finished 10th in the feature event.
“We have just had a tough road the last few weeks,” Andy Forsberg said. “The team has been working extremely hard, but things just haven’t gone our way. I know we will keep at it and hopefully turn this around as the season winds down.”
A robust 35 cars packed into the Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the weekly series’ finale, and Forsberg got the night kicked off by timing the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in fifth fastest in his qualifying flight, which put him on the front row of his heat race.
Lining up on the outside of the first heat, Forsberg got the jump and took the early lead which was pivotal as he still had a shot at the track championship. Keeping the top spot, Forsberg grabbed the win and garnered a spot in the redraw where the six lined him up in the third row of the feature event.
When the race came to life, Forsberg spent the early laps battling for top five position as he was in a tight knit battle for fifth and sixth. Continuing to work around the ¼ mile bullring, Forsberg worked into fifth on the ninth lap before he slipped back to eight on lap 10.
As the laps clicked off, the Auburn, CA driver continued to search around the speedway to find a line to get moving back forward but just wasn’t able to make anything happen as he continued to battle in the Top-10. Getting back into sixth briefly on the 19th circuit, close quarters racing action saw him slip back to 10th on the 22nd lap.
Unable to gain any lost track position in the final eighth laps, Forsberg brought his night to an end with a 10th place finish.
“We were just a little off in the feature and couldn’t get going,” Forsberg said. “This week we get back to SCCT action as we head to Petaluma Speedway, and we will continue to work at getting this turned around.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Tanner Carrick 7th at Placerville Speedway’s Regular
Season Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA: Checking in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for the $10,085-to-win Forni/Humphreys Classic, Tanner Carrick and his team picked up a seventh-place finish in what was the final sprint car race of the year at the speedway.
“We had a decent night, we just really couldn’t get going in the feature,” Tanner Carrick said. “We put ourselves in the redraw and we just maintained for 30-laps.”
A total of 35 cars checked into Placerville Speedway for the highest paying 360ci race ever held at the track, and Carrick got the night started by timing his CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in fourth fastest in his qualifying flight.
With a strong effort, Carrick earned the pole for his heat race, which was vital as a win would qualify him for the redraw. When the green flag was displayed to the Lincoln, CA runner, Carrick smashed the throttle and darted out to the lead.
Racing his way to the win, Carrick was safely in the feature event and also earned that coveted redraw berth where the seven placed him in the fourth row for the 30-lap finale.
When the race went green, Carrick got off to a solid start as he quickly moved into sixth and then moved into fifth on the eighth lap. Going back and forth between fifth and sixth for 15 laps, Carrick finally settled into sixth on the 20th lap.
Continuing to look for a way back into the Top-Five as the race neared the finish, a misstep on the 28th lap saw Carrick slip back to seventh where he went on to take the checkered flag.
“We just needed to be a little better for the feature, but happy to be in the Top-10,” Carrick said. “It has been a really busy few weeks, so I definitely want to thank my guys for continuing to work hard.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

Tony Gomes Claims Placerville Speedway Championship with
C&M Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- A tight points battle came to a head on Saturday night during Placerville Speedway’s season finale, and when the dust settled it was Tony Gomes and C&M Motorsports hoisting their first championship trophy at the historic track located in El Dorado County.
“Saturday night was a dream come true, and it is great to have so many years of hard work pay off,” Tony Gomes said. “We went into the night with a slim lead and knew what we needed to do, and we came out swinging and had a great night.”
With 35 cars on hand for the track’s season finale event which was also the famed Forni/Humphreys Classic, Gomes got the night underway by timing the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c in second fastest in time trials.
Simply needing to transfer through his heat to earn a spot in the redraw, the Modesto, CA pilot played it safe as he went from fourth to third to punch his ticket into both the feature event as well as the all-important redraw.
Pulling the three, Gomes lined the MatriScope/Alturas Tires/Swartz Diesel backed entry up in the second row of the feature event knowing his championship competitors needed to get in front of him by quite a few spots to upend him.
When the race went green, Gomes hard on the throttle as he settled into third and chased after the lead duo of Landon Brooks and Shane Golobic. Playing it safe as any misstep could cost himself and the team a title, Gomes was still extremely competitive as he battled in the lead pack.
Continuing to run in third, in the last few laps he slipped back to fifth as he opted to not force any issues as his first ever sprint car championship was in his grasp. Still, having a great night, Gomes took the checkered flag in the fifth spot, and then the celebration with his C&M Motorsports team was on with many friends and marketing partners in attendance.
“It just means a lot to finally get Cody and Mandi a track championship at Placerville Speedway after all the years they have supported me, and how close we have came in years past,” Gomes added. “To finally do it is a great feeling, and truly we couldn’t have done it without the great people and partners that have supported and helped over the years. Aside from Cody and Mandi, I also want to thank Bobby Bumgarner, John Svensson, Cody Cook, and Brad Kennedy for their hard work. Having a great group behind you with a positive attitude goes along way, and they all helped ensure we had a smooth night. It is great to be able to say that we are Placerville Speedway Champions.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: With Placerville Speedway’s 2025 season wrapped up, C&M Motorsports is TBD on their remaining schedule.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-21, Wins-3, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-14

Kaleb Johnson Scores First Career MOWA Win During Debut at Spoon River Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – CANTON, Ill. (Sept. 15, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson returned to Victory Lane last Saturday during his first-ever race at Spoon River Speedway.
The triumph for the Team DGRD competitor tied the bow on a weekend that showcased a fast race car during a Midwest Open Wheel Association doubleheader.
“I felt we could have won on Friday, but it didn’t work out,” he said. “On Saturday, we were fast all night and able to finally get rid of some bad luck. Just to turn the last five or six weeks around felt good. It gave everybody the little confidence boost we need.”
Johnson was nearly victorious on Friday at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., where he advanced from fourth to win a heat race. He redrew the No. 6 to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event.
“From the time I first got on the track until the night was over we got better and I got better,” he said. “As I got more laps I got more comfortable. We had a shot to win. I felt I was patient the laps before that. I got a good run off turn two. I tried to throw a slider in turns and four and got hit in the rear of the car and we crashed.”
Johnson had maneuvered into the runner-up position by Lap 18. Three laps later, he made a bid for the lead in turns three and four that ended with contact, which resulted in a DNF. Johnson was credited with a 13th-place result.
“As I started driving the car harder I was able to launch it off the cushion and into the rubber,” he said. “I could carry so much more speed down the straightaway. I was pleased even though the end result wasn’t great.”
The team continued its speed on Saturday at Spoon River Speedway, where Johnson won a heat race to advance into the feature redraw. He pulled the No. 6 for the second straight night.
“I had a blast,” he said. “I thought the place was awesome. There was a huge rut going into turn three. It made it interesting. In the feature we got to traffic really quick and I used that to my advantage. I slid a couple of guys in turns one and two and a couple of others slid off the track. We got the lead with a few laps to go. One lap late in the race I drove it pretty hard into turn three and hit that rut hard. I really had to get out of it and slow the car down to avoid getting into the wall, but luckily we avoided disaster and held on to win.”
It marked his first career MOWA victory and his fourth total triumph this year.
Johnson plans to race this Friday and Saturday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., during the Bank Midwest Jackson Nationals presented by Wyffels Hybrids.

Starks qualified second quickest before he advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race and from fourth to second place in the A Main.
“We started off good and were able to capitalize on each situation we had,” he said. “We moved forward and were really close at the end. I think we just needed a couple of things to go our way and we would have had a shot. I felt good with our speed and fairly happy with the end result. Obviously you want to win every time, but all in all, it was a solid night.”
Championship Weekend arrives this weekend when the track hosts the final points race for the 360ci winged sprint cars on Friday and the 410ci winged sprint cars on Saturday.
Starks has driven to a division-best four 360 sprint car victories at Skagit Speedway this season to build a 76-point lead in the championship standings. He has earned a division-best three 410 triumphs and leads the standings by 13 points heading into the finale.
“I feel really good,” he said. “I feel like the track conditions were back where they fit our program, where the track is really wide and losing some grip in the feature. I feel like that’s where we excel. It’ll be nice to get two nights of racing in to kind of close out the season here in the Northwest. If we do everything right, I think we can have two good showings and compete for the win each night.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 13 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 3 (4); Feature: 2 (4).

31 races, 8 wins, 19 top fives, 23 top 10s, 26 top 15s, 28 top 20s

He followed with a 17th-place outing on Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway.
“The weekend overall was a bit back and forth as we weren’t able to make the progress we wanted on Saturday,” he said. “However, taking some momentum from Friday and heading to one of my favorite tracks this weekend, I’m optimistic.”
Scelzi will join the World of Outlaws this Friday and Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., during the Dennis Roth Classic.
“The Dennis Roth Classic is a big event on the West Coast that honors someone who has been very helpful throughout my racing career,” he said. “We have a lot of laps and have enjoyed a lot of success over the years in Tulare so hopefully we can have two strong nights this weekend.”

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (September 15, 2025) – It was a three-race stretch through Posse Country for Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports, eventually concluding competition with two top-fives in three starts, all of which activating with a podium run at the famed Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, September 12. The recently crowned Port Royal Speedway champion, a first-ever feat, finished second in his podium outcome, commencing his Billy Kimmel Memorial campaign from the point – directly beside eventual winner Brock Zearfoss. The New Jersey ace launched his effort with a heat race victory.
Whittall’s second of two top-fives occurred two nights later at Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, concluding the Jim Nace Memorial National Open with a fourth-place score. The finish bumped Whittall’s top-five count to 16 on the season, simultaneously increasing his top-ten count to 28.
Although missing the top-ten, Whittall’s effort in Saturday’s Weldon Sterner Memorial at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, was productive in its own right, turning a not-so-routine visit to the Pigeon Hills into a 13th-place score.
“Another great weekend for our RBH Group | JW Motorsports team. The pressure is off now that we accomplished our championship goals at Port Royal, so I think it’s easier now just to go out and ‘race,’” Whittall said. “The plan is to continue our season at Williams Grove and BAPS this weekend. We’ll do our best to honor one of the sport’s greats.”

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (September 15, 2025) – Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing put it all together in Fremont Speedway’s annual Jim Ford Classic doubleheader on September 12-13, guiding their Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer hot rod to back-to-back All Star Circuit of Champions top-tens, as well as back-to-back heat race triumphs. Andrews, a one-time Ohio winner in 2025 as well as a former Attica Raceway Park track champion, finished eighth in each of his Jim Ford Classic outings, utilizing the aforementioned heat race triumphs to set his evenings’ tones.
With all results considered, the Sandusky native now stands at 13 top-tens on the season which includes his March victory at Attica Raceway Park.
Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio, will cap all 410 sprint competition this Saturday, September 20.
“Happy for this entire Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer team. It was a fun weekend at Fremont, and to come out of there with back-to-back All Star top-tens is pretty special. Of course, we wanted more, but we had fun and that is all we can ask for,” Andrews was quick to note. “We kinda kicked the year off with a win, so we’ll work to close out the year with a win, as well. We have a few more starts planned after this weekend’s trip to Fremont, but to do it at Fremont would be pretty special.”

Early September Start For Wingless Season
By Phil Michell Motorsport Media
After what has seemed to be one of the shortest off seasons
in recent years the new South Australian Wingless Sprint season will begin
this Saturday night (September 20) at the Murray Machining and Sheds Murray
Bridge Speedway. The opening show of the year has attracted a field of 34
drivers, with the list of nominations suggesting that the battle for the
first South Australian main event victory will be wide open.
Although the season is just kicking off there are several
drivers who have already seen on track action recently including Tailem
Bend’s Sam Martin, Kaitlin Vickers and Sharni Pitcher, therefore they may
have an advantage over the rest of the field knowing that there hasn’t been
any local early season practice sessions.
Martin will return to four wheels this weekend after a trip
to Darwin’s Northline Speedway a few weeks ago, where he finished on the
podium in the 2025 Northern Territory 500cc Solo Championship, while Vickers
was in action last weekend supporting the “Micro’s on the Murray” event at
The Bend. Sharni Pitcher is another competitor who has been extremely busy
lately having competed in Darwin during the Chariots of Thunder.
Joining them at Murray Bridge on Saturday night will be the
likes of pre-race favourite Rylan Furler, local’s Mason Merritt and Robert
Heard, Bordertown’s James Rodda, Kadina’s Tate Cowie, Darryl Knuckey, Lockie
and Caleb Evans, Thomas Walkom, Michael Busby, Darryl Sloan, Ross Miller,
and Michael Spoljaric.
One driver who will unfortunately be missing this season is
regular front runner Anthony Tapley, who has stepped aside from driving the
Andrew and Lyn May owned #47 after winning the 2024/25 SA State Series, and
finishing third overall in the State Points. Taking his place will be dual
Australian Champion Joel Chadwick and this new combination will be a strong
one. Rookie Nick May will share the driving duties with Joel throughout the
season.
After more than a decade away from Wingless Sprint racing
Brad Kirtland is among a number of new competitors for the 2025/26 season
with the list including Mount Gambier’s Ryan Broome, Brother of leading
competitor Mitch, former circuit racer Hayden Jericho, Ryan Watts, Hayden
and Joshua Mason and Byron Wright.
Hamilton based racer Aaron Kennett will make the trek from
Victoria along with Mildura residents Jordon Bolitho and Diesel Fallon. Last
season Fallon was the recipient of the Club’s “Encouragement Award,” and the
youngster will want to build on what was an impressive season having stepped
up from Junior Sedans.
The format for the night will feature two rounds of heat
races, a B-main, and a 20-car A-Main over 25 laps.
Event Details - Opening Night – Murray Bridge Speedway,
Saturday 20th September 2025:
Current Nominations (34 Cars) - S8 Darryl Sloan, S14 Joshua Rusby, S15 Ryan

RETRO REVAMP OF SORTS COMING FOR MIDGETS AT THE RUMBLE
Burco Molding to Sponsor ‘Race to 100’
FORT WAYNE, IN (Sept. 10) – In a return, of sorts, to its beginnings, the Midget program of this year’s 27th running of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales will see some format changes for the December 19 and 20 weekend with what will become ‘The Burco Molding Race to 100’.
Recently, veteran car owner Randy Burrow approached Rumble’s Larry Boos with a simple comment, “I think we need a change, it’s time to stir the pot to keep the product fresh.” With an open-mind Boos agreed to listen to Burrow who summed up his final thoughts with four words, “bring back the 100”.
With that – a little history.
For years, dating back to January 6, 1956, when the United States Auto Club was introduced to the world via the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, the headlining Midget main event was contested at 100 laps. Even though the event was transferred over to the newer and attached Expo Center in 1998, the distance remained the same.
However, over recent years, for air quality concerns, the distance was reduced to 50 laps.
With those concerns in mind, Burrow, and fellow racers Mike Fedorcak and Joe Liguori collaborated with Boos on how to approach the return to 100 laps of feature racing.
The trio embraced the concept but universally conceded that it would require ingenuity to address the inherent need to refresh the air. Fedorcak summed it up. “I love the challenge of 100 laps of Midget racing at the Rumble, but we know we can’t go 100 laps straight without acknowledging that we will have to stop and clear the air, so let’s just plan on two ‘environmentally friendly’ gaps.”
Burrow and Liguori agreed with Burrow then reminding the group “100 laps is still 100 laps regardless of how we get there – so we are racing to 100 laps to determine the winner.” Liguori directed his comments to Boos with “we have to face reality and do what is best for the fans, and that is to give them a competitive race while remaining comfortable, and we, as racers, can do that, now you, as the promoter, need to come up with fan engagement during those breaks.” Boos agreed and his dedicated Rumble team is in the planning process, accordingly.
With the Burco Molding Race to 100 comes a complete revamp of the weekend for the Midgets. Instead of two nights of individual racing programs, it will be truly a race to the 100. Friday (December 19) will see the field split into even/odd groups after qualifying, with each group competing in their own heats and 25-lap main events. The top two finishers from each of those mains will automatically transfer to the Burco Molding Race to 100. Points will be earned throughout Friday night, with those points used to line up Saturday’s (December 20) heat races.
“The progression towards getting into Saturday’s Race to 100 will keep the fans engaged. And like I said earlier, it is time to stir up the pot a little and try something old and put it into today’s reality. I will be entering three cars again this year, and I have as much to gain or lose from this change as anyone, but I am raring to go,” summed up Burrow.
Over the course of the next several weeks, more details about the enhanced format and other Rumble information will be announced via social media and on the event’s website www.rumbleinfortwayne.com.
Joining the Midgets for the 27th running of the Rumble in Fort Wayne presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales over the December 19 and 20 weekend on the 1/7-mile purpose-built concrete oval inside the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center will be winged and non-winged 600cc Midgets along with multiple classes of Go-Karts and Quarter
Hartmann looks to shake off Cedar Lake setbacks with MOWA jaunt
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 10, 2025 – In a season plagued by mechanical woes and on-track incidents, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team saw the 2025 campaign continue on a similar note at the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at Cedar Lake, Wis. on New Richmond, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept. 6.
Hartmann began the opening night of the two-day program on Friday, Sept. 5, by qualifying 23rd in the stellar 46-car field. From there, Hartmann started eighth and failed to finish in the second heat race. The 25-year-old Plymouth resident started 12th in the first B main and again retired before the end of the race with mechanical woes.
Rain before the start of the racing program on Saturday, Sept. 6, prompted the format for the evening to change from qualifying and dash draw to heat race draw and passing points.
With 36 cars on hand, Hartmann drew the sixth starting spot and moved up to fifth in heat four. In challenging heavy, wet, and rough track conditions, the Plymouth, Wis. resident finished third in the B main to qualify for the 30-lap main event. Hartmann was scheduled to start 21st, but he elected not to enter the feature race.
“It’s been a tough one, there’s no sugar coating it,” Hartmann said. “We’ve gotten pretty beat down to say the least. We found our issue at Cedar Lake to be the stumble valve. With how the track was and starting at the back, I didn’t see it worth risking another car to run Saturday’s feature. We’ll try it again this weekend with the MOWA series.”
The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is slated to head south of the border to compete in a doubleheader weekend with the Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) 410 Sprint Car Series, starting with the Carolyn Schuh Memorial on Friday, Sept. 12, at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill.
The Badger Midgets, Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman, and Street Stocks are also on the card. Hot laps start at 6:30 p.m. with racing at 7 p.m.
The Jacksonville Speedway event will be live-streamed on DirtVision.
On Saturday, Sept. 13, Hartmann and the team will travel with MOWA to Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill., to compete in the Tom Knowles Memorial.
MARA Midgets, DIRTcar Pro Late Models, and B Modifieds will also be in action.
Hot laps are scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m.

Arenz aims to regroup with IRA doubleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 10, 2025 – What was shaping up to be a promising weekend at one of the most prestigious events on the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series schedule, ended in early disappointment for Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team during night one of the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 5.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. racer opened the night by qualifying 41st in the stellar 46-car field. He advanced to sixth from the 10th starting spot in the fourth 8-lap IRA heat race.
After starting fourth in B main 2, Arenz moved up to third to gain a starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started 22nd and was running 18th when he hit the turn two wall and flipped on lap 18, which knocked him out of the race. He was scored 22nd.
Extensive damage to the car forced Arenz to withdraw from Saturday night’s racing program.
“There isn’t really anything to say about Cedar Lake,” Arenz said. “We’ll be back this weekend at Wilmot and 141.”
The team is now slated to compete in a doubleheader IRA weekend starting Friday, Sept. 12, at Wilmot Raceway, Wis., as part of the Wilmot Fall Festival, which will also feature the Winged Crate Sprints, Street Stocks, A Modified, and Bandits.
Hot laps are scheduled to start at 5:45 p.m. with racing at 6:45 p.m.
On Sunday, Sept. 13, the team is scheduled to enter an IRA event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. Legends and IMCA Sport Mods are also on the card.
Racing is set to begin at 6 p.m.

GULF COAST TO CLOSE OUT 2025 MUST SEE RACING SEASON
September 10, 2025 - Holly. Michigan - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts. Com is preparing for the biggest weekend of its sixteen-year existence when the 410-winged asphalt sprint car series visits the Gulf Coast Region of the country October 2-4, 2025.
The series will kick off the ‘Southern Shootout’ Friday night October 3, 2025, when it visits Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida for the first time in eleven seasons. The following evening October 4 the series will head north to Montgomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama for the first time since 2021.
Teams will be battling it out for a $10,000 winners share from a total purse of $31,000 each night. These events will pay $700 to start the twenty-four-car starting field each night. This will be the richest weekend in the history of the series that inaugurated in 2010. A total weekend purse of over $62,000 will be up for grabs.
In addition to Must See Racing regulars, the event is expected to draw teams from the Florida based Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series and the new Alabama/Mississippi Sprint Car group.
The Gulf Coast area isn’t new to Must See Racing. From 2012 -2014 the series annually visited he area with stops at Five Flags and Mobile, Alabama. It returned to the area with a weekend visit to Montgomery in 2021.
Aaron Pierce was victorious the last time the series visited Five Flags Speedway on April 11, 2014. Troy DeCaire and Joe Liguori found victory lane the last time the series competed at Montgomery Motor Speedway in October of 2021.
It is only fitting that the 2025 MSR season will conclude at two of the most historic venues in the southern part of the country. It will also be a rare opportunity to watch winged pavement sprint cars compete on half-mile venues, which has been a rare occurrence lately.
Five Flags Speedway opened in 1953 and is the home of the annual Snowball Derby Super Late Model race. Montgomery Motor Speedway opened in 1955 and hosted numerous NASCAR Grand National events in the early years of its history.
Joe Liguori looks to close out the 2025 MSR season with another MSR championship. He currently holds a commanding 64-point lead over Ryan Litt. Kevin Mingus sits in third place currently 41 points behind Litt.
Entries for these events are just now beginning to be received. MSR will reveal the entries as they are received beginning in the next few days.

PADDOCK CROWNED JOE’S GARAGE SOUTHERN TIER SERIES CHAMPION
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – September 10, 2025
As the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints were not able to make up both races at Penn Can Speedway (June 6 and July 11) due to weather, Dillon Paddock has been named Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion.
It is the first miniseries championship for "The Show Stopper," as he posted a pair of thirds at Thunder Mountain this miniseason, the only track that was able to hold races without weather impacting.
“Thunder Mountain was definitely a turnaround for us this year,” said Paddock. “Consistency is the name of the game this year for us. Not usually something of my nature, but just happened to work out that way this year.”
Overall, Paddock has racked up 12 podiums in 15 features, including the two at Thunder Mountain.
The pair of podiums for Paddock in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series was good enough to beat Billy VanInwegen by four points, Johnny Smith by seven points, Jordan Hutton by 11 points and Zach Sobotka by 15.
“Winning anything nowadays is tough, so just to win a miniseries is cool, all in all and hopefully we can win a couple more races before the year’s out,” Paddock said.
Paddock had only run one career race at Thunder Mountain and Penn Can each going in, finishing seventh and 14th, respectively.
Joe’s Garage is the official sponsor of the Southern Tier Series. Known as a one-stop shop for automotive maintenance, Joe’s also provides 23.5-hour towing and roadside assistance to keep drivers on the move whenever issues arise. Conveniently located at the corner of Robinson and Bradywine in Binghamton, Joe’s is committed to serving the community both on and off the road. For assistance, customers can call their 24/7 hotline at (607) 723-3520.
Joe’s Garage activated their sponsorship further by bringing a flatbed of their own to Thunder Mountain in July and also towed Scott Landers’ No. 33 car to the Syracuse Motorsports Expo last Spring.
2025 has been a career year for Paddock, as he has piloted his No. 8 to four wins so far in 2025, including the series’ most recent stop at Ransomville, sweeping the two stops at “The Big R.” Paddock has also scored wins at Albany-Saratoga and Woodhull, a track CRSA heads to this weekend for the New York 305 Nationals.
In the overall standings, Paddocks trails 29 points to Zach Sobotka for the overall title with one whole points-paying race left to go in a few weeks at Weedsport.
“He’s tough to beat, but we’re right there,” said Paddock. “We can’t hang our heads. Can’t thank my entire team, all my sponsors, crew and family. There’s a lot that goes into this.”
The CRSA Sprints are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025 and are brought to you by A-Verdi Storage Containers. Associate sponsors include Pit Stop Convenience Stores, DisBatch Brewing Company, Dandy, Joe's Garage, Westward Painting Company, Elab Smokers Boutique, iFreeze Storage & Distribution Center, Maguire Automotive Group, Powdertech Powdercoating, Ruggles World of Auto Body, PJC Business Ventures, Profab Enterprises, Magsarus Ignitions, Highside Racewear, Hoosier Racing Tire, Insinger Performance with their Stinger Race Fuel, My Race Pass and is owned and operated by Mike Emhof Motorsports.

Heated point battle concludes in grand fashion at Forni-Humphreys Classic Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The biggest event of the Berco Redwood championship campaign invades Placerville Speedway this Saturday September 13th, with the $8,500 to win “Forni-Humphreys Classic” set to finish off the point season in style.
The 20th running of the event is shaping up to be one of the best, with just 10 points separating the top three drivers in the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car standings. Modesto’s Tony Gomes goes into the finale with a scant three-point lead over Sacramento’s Austin Wood.
Lurking back in third and just 10 markers behind Gomes is veteran Andy Forsberg, who always seems to find a way to come out on top in championship battles.
All three drivers have been fantastic this season at Placerville Speedway and Saturday should be a night to remember. Suisun City’s Chance Grasty (24-points behind Gomes) and Placerville’s Shane Hopkins complete the top five heading into the championship finale.
Oakley’s Nick Baldwin has become one of the best to ever sit behind the wheel of a race car at Placerville Speedway. He will be attempting to lock up his sixth consecutive Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock title this weekend and number seven overall.
Yuba City’s Rod Oliver and Nevada driver Howard Miller both are searching for their initial Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model and Mountain Democrat Mini Truck title respectively. Oliver and Miller look to finish it off at the Forni-Humphreys Classic on Saturday.
About the event:
The Forni family has a great history in El Dorado County, with deep ties to the El Dorado County Fairgrounds and much of the land on which it sits. Much like his forefathers, Mark Forni had a great passion for the county fair and its attributes, especially the racetrack.
From the time he was a young child and the days when Placerville Speedway was known as Hangtown Speedway, Mark was actively involved with the weekly auto races, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need involved with the sport he loved.
Later in life, Mark continued his contributions to local auto racing, sponsoring many race teams with his business, Forni’s Trucking. He later became a member of the El Dorado County Fair Board and focused on the issues regarding the future of the fair and the speedway.
Mark Forni believed in working relationships. He understood the importance of race promoters, sponsorships, and the one key element for every event to be successful, the spectator.
In November of 2004, Mark was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. During his final months, Mark had the opportunity to say goodbye to friends and family and spend some special moments with his wife and children, a bittersweet time for those who knew and loved him so much. In the summer of 2005, Mark passed away at the early age of 45.
Saturday is also our way of remembering our fellow friend C.J. Humphreys, who we lost in February of 2023.
Affectionately known as the “Happy Camper” C.J. ranks number six in all-time Winged 360 Sprint Car wins on the red clay, having earned 25 victories in his career. He also holds the honor of being the original North vs South Civil War Series champion during the 1991 season.
Chris and his No. 85 Sprint Car were as synonymous as any in the Placerville Speedway pit area over the years. His competitive spirit and all-around good-natured attitude have been sorely missed around the track.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during Forni-Humphreys Classic will be General Admission on Saturday September 13th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
Adult tickets cost just $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr091325

Cars hit the track at 5:15pm with hot laps, ADCO Driveline Qualifying and racing to follow.

FRED RANNARD, SR OPEN WHEEL CLASSIC
Dear Friends,
On behalf of my entire family thank you for your support of the ninth annual
Fred Rannard, Sr. Open Wheel Classic last weekend at Agassiz Speedway in
Agassiz, British Columbia.
The event was another big success despite smoke from nearby forest fires,
high humidity all weekend, the closure of many highways in BC and a slight
chance of rain on race day. A special thanks goes out to all of the drivers,
crews and fans from all over BC and Washington that braved the elements,
took detours, travelled on BC Ferries or crossed the border to get here. You
are indeed a dedicated group.
Agassiz's Troy Globe is the winningest driver in Fred Rannard, Sr. Open
Wheel Classic history (five championships) and he won the sprint car feature
for the second time to go along with his three midget titles. Victoria's
Darian Zeinstra became the first repeat winner of the dwarf car portion of
the event as he held off his younger brother Zack who won the race last
year. Bradie Rogers from Chilliwack completed the natural hat trick as he
was victorious in the midget main event for the third straight year.
The evening began with the popular meet and greet autograph session on the
track before it was time for the opening ceremonies. Drivers from as far
away as Ucluelet, BC and Colville, Washington introduced themselves to the
big crowd before Murray Jones did his usual fine job singing the national
anthems.
As always we thank the staff at Agassiz Speedway, the drivers, crews and
officials from the Can Am Sprint Car series, the Vancouver Island Dwarf Car
Club, the South Sound Bandits, our generous sponsors and great fans.
Thanks again to everyone and we are already planning big things for the
tenth annual Fred Rannard, Sr. Open Wheel Classic in 2026.
Sincerely,
Fred Rannard, Jr. and family

Dover Earns Hard Charger Award After Driving From 24th to 10th at Cedar Lake Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (Sept. 9, 2025) – Jack Dover officially passed 14 cars during the opening-night feature of the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial last Friday at Cedar Lake Speedway.
That earned the Hard Charger Award for gaining the most positions during the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series event.
“We got rolling in the feature and made a lot of progress,” he said. “It was a great way to end the night after a bit of a struggle early.”
Dover timed in 10th quickest in his group before a seventh-place finish in a heat race relegated him to a B Main. The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver advanced from fifth to fourth place in the B Main to garner the final transfer position into the main event.
Dover then charged from 24th to 10th in the feature, marking his 20th top-10 outing of the season.
“About halfway through the feature was when we really took off,” he said. “We were sliding guys and able to maneuver well. That was a fun race.”
With a wet forecast on Saturday, Dover and the team headed home to prepare for a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars show this Friday at Clay County Fair Speedway in Spencer, Iowa. Dover enters the event leading the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings by 44 points with only three Series races remaining this season.
“I’m looking forward to going back to Clay County Fair Speedway for the first time in about two years,” he said. “Hopefully we can put ourselves in position early in the night to be a contender in the main event.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 5 – Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. – Qualifying: 10; Heat race: 7 (5); B Main: 4 (5); Feature: 10 (24).
SEASON STATS –
40 races, 1 win, 13 top fives, 20 top 10s, 24 top 15s, 28 top 20s

Starks Aiming to Regain Skagit Speedway Points Lead This Saturday
Inside Line Promotions – PORT ROYAL, Pa. (Sept. 9, 2025) – Trey Starks returns to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for the second-to-final 410ci winged sprint car race of the season at the track.
Starks currently ranks second in the championship standings at the high-banked oval in Alger, Wash., but is only five points out of the top spot.
“We’ve won some big ones this year, but it feels our win count is down,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong, if I only had two wins this year and they were Dirt Cup and 360 Nationals I’d be happy. But I also want to win every time I race. We have a couple more good opportunities and I think we’re capable. It’d be nice to add a couple more wins and end the season on a high note.”
Starks leads the division with three victories. He ranks second in both top fives – six – and top 10s – eight. A rough outing during the recent Skagit Nationals dropped him out of the points lead for the first time this season.
“We had poor finishes a couple of the nights and in a points battle you can’t have many bad weekends, but I think we’re in a position to be in the hunt,” he said. “We just need to do what we know how to do and close out the year strong.”
Starks ventured to Port Royal Speedway last weekend for the Tuscarora 50 – a Kubota High Limit Racing event in which he drove for Jason Meyers Racing.
Starks earned an eighth-place result last Thursday during the opening night before placing 24th on Friday and 15th in the B Main on Saturday.
“I was really happy with our speed out of the gate on Thursday,” he said. “It seemed as the track lost some grip we definitely struggled. We worked all weekend to find what we could do to make the car better for me and get it moving forward. We needed more time when the track got slower, but I think both parties learned a ton.
“Big picture, I was very happy to be able to do it and despite some of our results I had a very nice time out there. Between getting back to Pennsylvania and seeing a lot of friends I’d made running there, running at one of my favorite tracks and working with the guys at Jason Meyers racing, it made it really nice to be out there. I feel like I was able to offer some of my input from both racing at Port Royal earlier in my career and having a lot of experience now as a driver. I had a great time and would definitely do it again.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 4 – Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 4 (4); Dash: 6 (7); Feature: 8 (6).
Sept. 5 – Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa. – Qualifying: 8; Heat race: 8 (3); B Main: 11 (12); Feature: 24 (25).
Sept. 6 – Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa. – Qualifying: 21; Heat race: 6 (7); B Main: 15 (18).

“It’s great to have Aaron [Reutzel] back. We weren’t really sure what to expect, but we were confident and we knew he’d do everything he could to be up front, even with his foot not 100% and still needing a crutch. He certainly proved he can do anything,” Brian Ridge said. “Hats off to this entire team. These guys bust their butts and they continue to amaze me.

top-ten; The Grove, Lincoln, Selinsgrove on deck
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 8, 2025
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (September 8, 2025) – Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing did everything they could to claim a first-ever Tuscarora 50 title, but the Gettysburg native fell just short, closing out the High Limit Racing tripleheader with a seventh-place score in the $58,000-to-win finale on Saturday, September 6. Dietrich, who rolled into Port Royal Speedway with 11 wins to his credit in 2025, commenced the Tuscarora 50 finale with a heat race victory, eventually lining up sixth for the 50-lapper.
Midwest invader Ryan Timms, the reigning Knoxville Nationals champion, was the eventual Tuscarora 50 winner.
Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, C&M Motorsports, Drop of Ink Tattoo, RLR Trucking, Blud Lubricants, No. 48 sprint car, kicked off his Tuscarora 50 effort with a top-five on Thursday, September 4, finishing fourth after starting just one position worse. He was a heat race winner on Thursday, as well.
“A solid week all around, but we wanted a little bit more,” Dietrich said. “Can’t say enough about Gary Kauffman and this entire ‘48’ team. That race continues to elude us, but we’ll get it done eventually. We have another busy weekend ahead, so we’ll work for some redemption starting Friday.”

THOMPSON READY FOR CHARIOTS CHALLENGE:
The biggest challenge of Jet Thompson's short 410 Sprintcar career awaits him when he contests the upcoming 2025 Chariots of Thunder at Darwin's Northline Speedway.
The 19-year-old and his family-based team heads up to Northline Speedway later this week from their Alice Springs base to tackle the Chariots of Thunder event.
Heading into the Chariots of Thunder, Jet has run a handful of Sprintcar race meetings around his home track - Arunga Park Speedway - and earlier this season ventured up to Northline Speedway to run one of their club race meetings.
"I'm very excited about being able to compete against some of the country's top Sprintcar racers and try and learn as much as I can," enthused the third generation Sprintcar racer.
"I haven't set any big goals for my first Chariots of Thunder attempt other than being able to get the most out of the opportunity of being able to run three nights of Sprintcar racing in a row up against some quality opposition."
This year's edition of the Chariots of Thunder at Northline Speedway starts this Thursday night, followed by Friday and Saturday night's action.

Madsen pilots TSR to podium in New Mexico; California stretch begins Friday in Bakersfield
2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Team Standings: 6th | 6778 [-620]
Date: Friday, September 5th Series: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Event: World of Outlaws Desert Showdown Track: Vado Speedway Park (Vado, New Mexico) Kerry Madsen A-Main Finish: 3rd (3rd) *Saturday’s event at Vado was canceled.
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (September 8, 2025) - “The Madman” Kerry Madsen put on a show Friday night at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico, not only concluding competition with a third-place outcome, but leading laps in the process. The eventual podium was Madsen’s first of the season with Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, helping boost the team’s overall top-five count to nine, as well as 30 top-tens.
As hinted, Madsen led ten laps in his effort in New Mexico. David Gravel, the eventual winner, would slip by Madsen following a misjudged lapped car.
“I saw David or heard him a couple of times and thought, ‘I’ve got to go,’” Madsen said at Vado. “I actually had a great run on the lapped car, and that one lap he decided to go middle-top, and I thought, ‘Oh my god. Being half a car back I could’ve zipped under him.’ David was knocking on the door, so you’ve got to go win the race. Honestly, I’m disappointed not to but still pretty excited to have a great run.”
Madsen, aboard Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, No. 15S sprint car, kicked-off preliminary competition with the fifth-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish second in his respective heat race. A win at Vado would have snapped Madsen’s World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win drought; his last triumph was in 2021.
The Desert Showdown at Vado was scheduled to be two days, but Mother Nature had other plans and ruined Saturday’s event.
ON DECK: Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will continue their 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a stretch through California beginning Friday and Saturday, September 12-13, at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway and Perris Auto Speedway.

NEW YORK 305 NATIONALS SET TO PUSH OFF THIS WEEKEND AT
WOODHULL
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – September 8, 2025
The biggest event in the history of the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints is around the corner.
"The Future Stars of Sprint Cars" are set for the return of the two-night New York 305 Nationals presented by Dandy at Woodhull Raceway, Friday and Saturday night.
It is the first New York Nationals for CRSA since 2019 at Land of Legends Raceway. It is also the first of two nationals the series will host in 2025, with the latter at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee next month.
In a near $29000 purse over the two-day period, the winner Saturday will take home $4000 to win, making it the richest purse in CRSA history and the largest lion's share the series has offered for winning.
It is the third time the series has run at Woodhull in 2025. CRSA’s top two drivers in points this season, Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock, each have taken a checkered flag at “New York’s Toughest Bullring.”
“The weekend we’ve been looking forward to is finally here!” said Mike Emhof, owner of CRSA Sprints. “We can’t thank Nikki and Terry Brewer, plus Terry Pierce, enough for hosting one of two Nationals events this year. Our drivers have put on two incredible shows at Woodhull this year and we’re excited to see how it turns out with $4000 on the line.”
“This is going to be one of the biggest weekends Woodhull Raceway has ever hosted,” said Nikki and Terry Brewer, per Woodhull’s press release. “From the state’s best sprint car drivers battling for glory, to the memorial races, live music and the return of old-school Powder Puff action, fans will get it all in one unforgettable weekend.”
Here’s a look at the top stories plus the format for the weekend.
Last Time Out: CRSA headed out West to Ransomville Speedway for their second trip ever to “The Big R.”
Dillon Paddock started on pole, lost the lead on the opening lap, but regained it on lap four to take his fourth win of 2025 and his second win of the year at Ransomville.
With the win, Paddock becomes the first driver in over a decade to sweep races at a single track that hosted multiple races in a season. Danny Varin was the last to do it at Albany-Saratoga in 2014.
Paddock was able to cut his gap behind Sobotka in the overall championship to 29, meaning a 13th or better by Sobotka at Weedsport would clinch the championship for the No. 38 in his rookie season.
The race at Weedsport was scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed again due to rain. A makeup date is in the works.
Format: This weekend’s format will be different from a regular CRSA race night.
Friday night, like a regular race, an open draw will lineup eight-lap heat races. Passing points (as explained in the CRSA rulebook) will set the starting lineup. However, passing points will set the starting lineup for a pair of 20-lap A-Mains presented by Mike Emhof Motorsports. Odd-numbered positions in passing points will lineup in race one and even-numbered will lineup in race two.
The winners of each of the Twin 20s will lock into the dash for Saturday.
For Saturday (based on 50 teams), time trials will take place following hot laps, two laps within a group-only format to set the lineups for heat races.
For heats, the top four in the starting lineup will invert before the green flag. Heats are 10 laps, where the top four lock into the A-Main. The winner and fastest qualifier in the top four will go to the dash draw.
A C-Main will be 12 laps, featuring drivers 36th-50th in heat qualifying finishes, lining up based on finish. The top five will transfer to the back of the B-Main.
Between the C and B-Mains will be a pair of six-lap dashes, featuring the heat winners plus fastest qualifiers from those heats. The two lock-ins from the Friday twin 20s will also be in either by qualifying or can take 11th and 12th if no time trial. Odd pill draws will head to dash one, while even pill draws will head to dash two. Dash one sets the inside of rows one through six, while dash two sets the outside.
The B-Main is 15 laps, featuring drivers 21st through 35th in heats. The lineup is based on heat finish position. However, drivers that finished fifth place in heats will draw for positions one through five, sixth place will draw for six through 10, seventh will draw for positions 11 through 15, then the top five from the C-Main will lineup heads up, 16 through 20. The top two will transfer to the feature.
The feature is 30 laps with 24 starters. Top 12 determined by pole dash finish, spots 13-22 determined by heat finish draw of highest finisher not 13th through 17th and the last heat qualifier 18th through 22nd. Spots 23 and 24 are the B-Main qualifiers. Winner takes home $4000 and is proclaimed New York 305 Nationals champion.
Fun Events Planned: Woodhull Raceway has added to the festivities for the weekend.
Once the checkers wave Friday, the fun keeps rolling with a live concert by Be Damned and a massive bonfire to keep the energy late into the night.
Those interested in camping can bring their RVs or tents for free.
The CRSA Sprints' merchandise trailer will be open throughout both days. T-shirts, hats, hoodies, stickers and more will be available, plus limited edition 20th Anniversary apparel, while supplies last.
Who to Watch For: Each having won the last four races, Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock will be drivers to keep an eye on.
Sobotka won at Woodhull last August and has four wins in 2025. In addition, the driver of the No. 38 has had opportunities in bigger shows with the 360 Empire Super Sprints, winning at Brewerton and the 410 World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, finishing ninth in his debut. This season, every race except one, Sobotka has finished in the top five and is a race away from tying the season record.
Paddock, this season’s Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion, won at Woodhull last May and also has four wins on the season. The man they call "The Show Stopper" has had highlight reel moments, from ripping the top around tracks to using lines no one else goes to, gaining numerous spots on restarts. The No. 8 had a seven-race streak in top-three finishes from July 3 to Aug. 22.
Jordan Hutton is the last driver to win a CRSA feature not named Sobotka or Paddock. Hutton, this season’s Dandy Miniseries champion and 2023 series champion, is a past winner at Woodhull in 2023. “J-Hutt” finished second and fourth in both CRSA appearances at the track. The No. 66 has five top fives in the last six races.
Dalton Herrick scored a sixth and a seventh at Woodhull this season. Herrick, 2022 series champion, has consistently put his No. 29 in the top 10 and has a best finish of fourth at Outlaw Speedway Aug. 8.
Billy VanInwegen has made occasional appearances with CRSA this season, but when he enters, he is a threat. "Billy V" has recorded top-five finishes in all eight starts with the series, with three seconds on the year. The big races he has been known to shine in the Mike VanDusen Racing-owned No. 56V and Saturday night could be that moment.
The preliminary entry list is below. Teams with 305 Sprint Cars can still register for $100 with your name, car number and address to http://venmo.com/woodhullraceway. Anyone who doesn’t have Venmo can send a cash or check payment of $100 to Nikki Brewer at 3842 Upper Swale Road Cameron, NY 14819.
Technical rules are in the CRSA rulebook. Pre-tech will happen at the scales. Teams will be given a sticker for the weekend that they will need on their cars to race. Teams should bring their hard cards with them, regardless of the series they compete in full-time.

Bonuses: Besides the $4000 to win, extra bonuses are up for grabs.
CRSA, which has led the nation with driver giveaways, has expanded its giveaway program for this weekend. At the drivers' meeting Sept. 13, two complete sets of Smith Ti 305 legal front and rear brake kits will be given away in two separate drawings.
Drawing one will be for drivers who have competed four or fewer times in 2025 before the Sept. 12 show. Draw two will be for drivers who have competed five or more times going into the weekend. The only requirement to be eligible for the Saturday drawings is that you have to bring your car into the pits, register to race, draw a pill and attend the drivers' meeting.
In addition, the New York State Stock Car Association (NYSSCA), which sponsored a series race at Woodhull Raceway last August, will be giving out $50 to the highest finishing NYSSCA member in each of the Friday night Twin 20s.
Saturday night, they will award $100 and $75 to the two highest member finishers and $50 to a wild card member.
Representatives will be there both nights if anyone would like to join.

Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing achieve Dash win and top 5 finish with NARC 410
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing put forth a strong outing with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars on Saturday, tallying a Dash win and a top five effort in the feature at Placerville Speedway.
“It was fun getting back to racing a 410 with NARC,” Cox commented. “I enjoyed my time over the years running with the NARC series. It felt good having solid speed right off the bat, everything was lining up correctly and we had a rocket ship of a car.”
Cox began the Pay Dirt Showdown on Saturday by clocking the ninth fastest lap during ARP Qualifying aboard the Berco Redwood/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales No. 42x.
He then got the jump in his heat race and never looked back to pick up the win, locking up a starting spot in the Dash.
The 31-year-old proceeded to claim a dominating victory in the Beacon Wealth Strategy Dash to earn the pole position for the main event.
When the green flag waved in the 30-lapper Cox battled tooth and nail with Sean Becker for the lead over the first few circuits. He eventually settled into fourth, where he would run throughout the contest.
Cox closed on the third-place car as things wound down but had to settle for a P4 result at the Ed Entz checkered flag.
“In the main event we had a small issue on the right rear of the car, and it hindered how I could run the cushion, which is exactly where I needed to be for a shot to win. All around though, we had a ton of speed regardless. It felt nice to have a smooth night and be up front where we should be.”
Next up for Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing is the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic at Placerville Speedway this September 13th. It marks the final night of point racing during the Berco Redwood championship season.
Cox has captured the event twice before and hopes to do so again this weekend.
“I’m excited for the Forni-Humphreys Classic this weekend,” he said. “I would love to win a third one, which would mean even more now with CJ’s name attached to it. I miss him a lot, he will forever be my pit neighbor, and I hope to add my name to the list again in honor of him.”

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Ready for Perris’ Biggest Sprint Car Night of 2025
Chino Hills, CA — September 7, 2025 — After a weekend off
following three straight nights of racing in Northern California, Eddie
Tafoya Jr. returns to action this Saturday, September 13th, when Perris Auto
Speedway hosts its biggest sprint car program of the season. Tafoya will
pilot his familiar #51T in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car
Series that sharing the spotlight with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink
Sprint Cars in a rare and exciting open-wheel doubleheader.
The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California racer comes into the event with momentum, fresh off his best finish of 2025 — a fourth-place run in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Petaluma Speedway on Labor Day. In just his second career start with the USCS, and his first appearance at Petaluma since 2019, Tafoya charged forward from seventh on the grid to secure the top-five result on the tight 3/8-mile oval.
Earlier that evening, Tafoya was third-fastest in his qualifying group, seventh overall of the 20 cars on hand and recorded a third-place finish in his 10-lap heat race.
“The night went well,” Tafoya said of Petaluma. “The track changes a lot. You kind of start tightening up the car and then go back to where you started for the main event. Just had to make sure the car was drivable after the two previous nights.”
The strong Petaluma outing came on the heels of Tafoya’s participation in the historic reopening of Calistoga Speedway over Labor Day weekend. Racing returned to the iconic half-mile for the first time in six years in front of sellout crowds. On night one, Tafoya timed in eighth-fastest among 34 cars, finished fifth in his heat, and transferred through the B-main before ending the A-main in 16th. Night two saw him post the 18th-quickest qualifying lap, grab a second in his heat, and lock into the feature, where he placed 18th.
“I was pretty excited to go back there,” Tafoya said of his return to the big half mile. “ I am always happy to go to big fast racetracks. Unfortunately, the results didn’t necessarily pan out how we wanted but we still had fun up there. The first night I had a good starting spot in eighth. I just think I was way to tight. I was trying to compensate on how slick the dirt was getting but then it ended up getting rough so I was kind of caught in a sticky situation. I was just stuck.”
“The second night, it felt a lot better in the heat race and I almost won it,” Tafoya continued. “ In the main, we had a right rear shock let go. So I was all over the place and on the verge of being out of control, so I brought it in early.”
Tafoya, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, will now look to build on that experience as he tackles one of the biggest stages of the season at Perris Auto Speedway.
“I really do not think about it once I am inside the racecar,” Tafoya said when asked about racing in front of big crowds. “It is definitely cool to see afterwards when the people come down and appreciate the things we do. We are definitely small compared to a lot of other motorsports so its nice to have some recognition.”

Madsen pilots TSR to podium in New Mexico; California stretch begins Friday in Bakersfield
2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Team Standings: 6th | 6778 [-620]
Date: Friday, September 5th Series: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Event: World of Outlaws Desert Showdown Track: Vado Speedway Park (Vado, New Mexico) Kerry Madsen A-Main Finish: 3rd (3rd) *Saturday’s event at Vado was canceled.
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (September 8, 2025) - “The Madman” Kerry Madsen put on a show Friday night at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico, not only concluding competition with a third-place outcome, but leading laps in the process. The eventual podium was Madsen’s first of the season with Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, helping boost the team’s overall top-five count to nine, as well as 30 top-tens.
As hinted, Madsen led ten laps in his effort in New Mexico. David Gravel, the eventual winner, would slip by Madsen following a misjudged lapped car.
“I saw David or heard him a couple of times and thought, ‘I’ve got to go,’” Madsen said at Vado. “I actually had a great run on the lapped car, and that one lap he decided to go middle-top, and I thought, ‘Oh my god. Being half a car back I could’ve zipped under him.’ David was knocking on the door, so you’ve got to go win the race. Honestly, I’m disappointed not to but still pretty excited to have a great run.”
Madsen, aboard Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, No. 15S sprint car, kicked-off preliminary competition with the fifth-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish second in his respective heat race. A win at Vado would have snapped Madsen’s World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win drought; his last triumph was in 2021.
The Desert Showdown at Vado was scheduled to be two days, but Mother Nature had other plans and ruined Saturday’s event.
ON DECK: Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will continue their 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a stretch through California beginning Friday and Saturday, September 12-13, at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway and Perris Auto Speedway.
ADDITIONAL MEDIA: Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing would like to thank all of their marketing partners: Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source.

Dominic Scelzi Excited to Compete in Four World of Outlaws Races in California
Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (Sept. 8, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi is spending the next two weekends with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in his home state of California.
Scelzi and his family owned team will race this Friday at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield during the Nashville West Showdown and Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris during the SoCal Showdown. The following weekend showcases the Dennis Roth Classic doubleheader at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.
“I’m excited to have our last big run of races here with the Outlaws,” he said. “I’m looking forward to hopefully having four issue-free nights.”
Scelzi finished ninth during Kubota High Limit Racing shows at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway and Perris Auto Speedway in March.
“We’ve won two NARC shows and an open 360 show so we’ve had good speed at the track in Bakersfield,” he said. “We’ve run well there with High Limit and with NARC. It’s a very unique track. It’s changed three times in its lifespan. I’ve only raced there once under the current configuration so it’s always kept everyone on their toes.
“And I really like Perris. It’s a fun place that has been racy the last few years. The last time we were there with the Outlaws we were running third when I caught the curb wrong and unfortunately DNFed so we know we can be competitive.”

Kaleb Johnson Endures Misfortune During Jerry Richert Memorial
Inside Line Promotions – NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (Sept. 8, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson showcased speed with little luck last weekend during the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway.
The Team DGRD driver was in contention both nights during the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series doubleheader before misfortune arrived.
It began on Friday when Johnson qualified quickest in his group. He then advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race to move into a dash. A fifth-place finish in the dash lined Johnson up on the outside of the fifth row in the main event.
“We qualified good and did what we needed in the heat race to make it into the dash, but there wasn’t a lot of moving around,” he said. “In the feature, I felt we had the best car in traffic. I could go where people weren’t and could slide people and still maintain speed. I don’t think I would have beat J.J. (Hickle) in clean air, but we were very happy with our speed and the progress we made.”
Johnson hustled from 10th to a runner-up result, but he was disqualified for not scaling after the race.
“I didn’t hear Steve (Sinclair) on the RACEceiver and went off the track to the scales,” he said. “There was nobody there and there was a sign that said closed with cones in front of it so I rolled to my pit. I should have just stopped.”
The team returned to the track on Saturday for the event finale. Afternoon storms made for a fast track and a late night. Johnson won his heat race and garnered the pole position for the main event thanks to a favorable inversion.
“I knew it was going to be tough, especially if I didn’t get the jump,” he said. “The outside was the place to be and I didn’t get the jump I needed so I ran second early. I felt I could stay with the leader in clean air and traffic. In traffic some of the cars were a lot slower than we were going. We got through the first two or three clean. I went to go around another lapped car. He got tight and pushed up. I had nowhere to go and ended up in the wall.”
Johnson’s car was too damaged to continue following the incident just before the midpoint of the feature. He was credited with a 15th-place result.
“It was a frustrating weekend, but we had speed every time we hit the track so there’s always positives to bad weekends,” he said. “It’s been a frustrating four or five weeks. On the positive side, the race car has speed. We’ve been fast most of the time. We just need a little luck on our side.”
Johnson is preparing to make his debut at two new tracks this weekend with Midwest Open Wheel Association races on Friday at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill., and Saturday at Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge,” he said. “I seem to do decent when I go to new tracks. Jacksonville is a tight bullring and Spoon River looks fun so I’m eager to race at both tracks.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Sept. 5 – Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 2 (4); Dash: 5 (5); Feature: DQ (10).
Sept. 6 – Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. – Heat race: 1 (2); Feature: 15 (1).

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Triumphant in New Mexico
Inside Line Promotions – VADO, N.M. (Sept. 8, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel added a new track to his win’s list last Friday at Vado Speedway Park.
The victory was Gravel’s 14th of the season and his 13th official triumph during World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series competition – the most of any driver.
“It was great,” he said. “That air there in that elevation is really bad to make horsepower. The last time we were there our engines didn’t run too good. Cody (Jacobs) and Brian (Morrison) worked together and got the engine to run well and it showed. We qualified well and it showed all night long.”
Gravel qualified second quickest before he won a heat race. He finished where he started – second – in the dash to line up on the outside of the front row in the main event.
“Logan (Schuchart) closed off the top there and I fell to third on the start,” he said. “I had to settle in and see how the rest of the race would play out. It was going to be all about traffic. Kerry (Madsen) got by Logan and made him have to move around. I was able to capitalize to get by Logan for second. Then I showed my nose to Kerry and was able to capitalize on him trying to be aggressive with lapped cars. If they stay in the preferred lane I don’t think I’m getting by them.”
Gravel drove into second place on Lap 20. Three laps later, he maneuvered by Madsen to take the lead en route to winning by more than two seconds.
Saturday’s event finale rained out. Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings is 176 points heading into the first of two weekends in California.
“A win and a rainout, that gets us closer and closer to a championship,” he said. “We wanted to race both nights after winning the first night, but it’s a good way to start off our trip west.”
This weekend’s races are Friday at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield for the Nashville West Showdown and Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris for the SoCal Showdown.

SOBOTKA, PADDOCK TO BATTLE FOR MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP ADVANTAGE IN DOUBLEHEADER THIS WEEKEND
Press Release By: Marty Czekala
The battle for the top spot in the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints’ overall points standings has been off the charts in 2025.
Zach Sobotka and Dillon Paddock have been the dominant two all season, each holding the points lead at times throughout the season. Sobotka holds a 36-point lead headed into a doubleheader at Ransomville Speedway Friday and Weedsport Speedway Saturday.
It is a critical weekend for the point standings, as this is the final weekend when full points will pay out. After this, three events will count as show-up points only toward the overall championship.
At Ransomville, it is the second-ever 305 Sprint Car event at "The Big R." July 4, Dillon Paddock scored the victory with fellow Papa's Place Racing driver Timmy Lotz in second.
For Weedsport, this is the feature makeup from the July 26 feature that was rained out and is now the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge finale. Last May, the series completed a show with Bobby Parrow ending his winless streak. Saturday's race will feature only hot laps and the main event, as the preliminary races were completed last July. Scott Landers and Timmy Lotz will bring the field to green.
Here's a look at the top storylines headed into the weekend.
Tune In: Action can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV Friday at Ransomville, then on DIRTVision Saturday at Weedsport with Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
Last Time Out: CRSA traveled to Brewerton Speedway for another edition of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
Adding on to his experience at Brewerton in a Sportsman modified, from many wins to a track championship, Sobotka checked off a sprint car victory Aug. 22 with his fourth win of the season and took away the points with two full points races left.
“It was an exciting 25 laps,” said Sobotka. “Lost the lead [to Johnny Smith] and retook the lead. I was set up to roll around the bottom, but didn’t expect it to be on the top.”
The ending of the race didn’t come without company as Jordan Hutton battled Sobotka in lapped traffic with the top two trading the lead from time to time, but Sobotka was scored as the leader across the line. In the end, Sobotka held off “J-Hutt” by a half second.
The championship swing took a topsy-turvy turn for Dillon Paddock as, with around 10 to go, Paddock rode the top and caught too much of the wall, cartwheeled his No. 8 and ended up on his roof, walking away.
Advantage on the line: Because of Paddock’s flip, Sobotka now leads the points standings by 36, the biggest margin he has had since his victory at Utica-Rome last June.
From first through 26th in the feature, the points range from 150 to 98, a 52-point difference, adding on to a maximum of 12 points in a heat race.
With that, should the gap stay 36 after heats, Sobotka wins the A-main Friday and Paddock finishes 15th or worse, Sobotka would have the points lead out of the weekend.
Sobotka wouldn’t be crowned champion yet, as three show-up points only events remain towards the overall title, giving drivers 75 points each. As long as the points leader out of the weekend shows up for those three races, he’ll be crowned champion.
Sobotka isn’t coming off not one but two wins at Brewerton. In addition to his CRSA win, Sobotka won his first 360 Sprint feature with the Empire Super Sprints last Friday.
At Ransomville, Sobotka finished third, while at Weedsport, the No. 38 finished fifth.
Despite being back 36 points, Paddock may be the better man at both tracks, not only with his win at Ransomville July 4, but also with a pair of runner-up finishes in his career at The Port, including last May to Bobby Parrow.
Rest of Standings: With Jordan Hutton’s second-place run at Brewerton, the No. 66 is 37 points ahead of Dalton Herrick in fourth.
In the battle for fifth, Scott Landers is 25 ahead of Timmy Lotz.
The closest battle in the top 10 in points is Alysha Bay up 12 markers on Spencer Burley for seventh.
The rest of the top 12 have Darryl Ruggles in ninth, 314 points behind Sobotka, Vince Chicklets in 10th, 387 points back, Bailey Boyd in 11th, 420 points behind the leader and Steve Glover in 12th, 524 points back.
Look Back at July 26: Preliminary action wrapped up before Mother Nature wiped out the feature to Saturday.
Aaron Shelton won his first heat race of the year, narrowly beating Mikey Smith. Timmy Lotz, Johnny Smith and Scott Landers all won heats two through four, respectively. The Elab Smokers Boutique Scramble Dash saw Mikey Smith win the $100 bonus and start ninth.
The redraw saw Scott Landers take the pole, followed by Timmy Lotz starting second. Dillon Paddock will start fifth and Zach Sobotka starts seventh. For the full lineup, head to the bottom of the story or head to the MyRacePass app.
Loyalty Giveaways: Our fifth giveaway of the season is Friday. Drivers who entered the Independence Day Triple Play and enter Friday night will be eligible to win a Winter's rear end, driveshaft, u-joint, torque tube, torque ball and housing. The package has an estimated value of $4500. 20 drivers are eligible.
It is one of many giveaways we are awarding this season. The drawing will be done immediately after the feature.
Spencer Burley won the first giveaway, a Sweet Manufacturing steering package. Darryl Ruggles won the second giveaway, a Saldana and Kinsler fuel package. Dillon Paddock won the third giveaway, an FK Shock and Smith Ti brake package and Ron Greek won the fourth giveaway, a Triple X chassis. They will be ineligible to win Friday.
By the Numbers: In the inaugural feature at Ransomville, 24 drivers checked in with only one yellow. There were three different leaders in the feature.
Entering Weedsport, 25 drivers will start the feature. Of the four past winners, three will take the green. 11 of the 24 drivers in the feature have finished in the top five at "The Port."
From the Frontman: “We may be working with three weekends in September, but a busy September is ahead for us. From the doubleheader this weekend, to the two-night New York Nationals at Woodhull to Land of Legends at the end of the month, we’re looking forward to crowning the rest of our miniseries champions this month." ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA has its first two-night New York 305 Nationals presented by Dandy next weekend at Woodhull Raceway.

USAC Sprint leader Cummins aims for more Lucas Oil Speedway magic at Rod End Supply Diamond Dirt Duel
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 4, 2025) - When Kyle Cummins makes just his second appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, the Indiana native can only hope things go as well as his previous time on the Wheatland dirt.
It was 2018 when Cummins drove to victory in the non-winged portion of the Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial. That remains one of the memorable wins that Cummins, 38, has picked up during his successful open-wheel racing career.
“We ran like third or fourth on our prelim night and then won the finale,” Cummins said. “I have not been there since, but definitely looking forward to seeing how things go this time. That’s a very, very nice place with everything. The pits, the grandstands. It’s a nice facility.
“We didn’t take many notes back in the day, but hopefully we have a little bit of thought. At least I’ve ran there once so I know a little bit how the track works.”
Cummins continues his pursuit of a USAC AMSOIL National Sprint championship on Saturday when USAC returns to Wheatland for the first time since 2006 for the Rod End Supply Diamond Dirt Duel. The 30-lap feature will pay $6,000 to the winner.
Cummins, a second-generation open-wheel racer from Princeton, Ind., leads the championship standings by 258 points over Mitchel Moles of Raisin City, California. Logan Seavey, of Cutter, California., is third 276 behind Cummins.
After a fast start to the season, with a feature win in the opener at Volusia Speedway Park and five feature wins in the first 11 events, Cummins has put himself in great position to win his first USAC championship in his second season with Petty Performance Racing.
“We started the season really strong and kind of had some bad luck here and there,” Cummins said. “We’ve got the monkey off our back a little bit of late and found some stuff with the car. We’re on car number three now. We’ve tore up some stuff and kind of learning this one.
“All in all we’re pretty excited about how things are going and looking forward to finishing these last 15 races strong and trying to get a couple of more wins and have a good finish to the season.”
Following in the footsteps of his father, Mark Cummins, since opening in open karts at age nine, Kyle Cummins developed into one of the top sprint car racers in the Midwest. He's the all-time winningest driver of the Midwest Sprint Car Series and a five-time champion in that series.
It wasn’t until a fast start to the USAC National Tour in 2023 that Cummins began to think about chasing a national championship. He faded that season and realized that upgrades were needed to pursue such an endeavor.
“The last two years we’ve decided to run for it and be fully prepared, have all the stuff ready,” Cummins said. “We built this new team with Petty Performance and that’s been the goal. Last year was kind of a building season, to take some notes and do a lot of trial and error, working some stuff with the car to give us a really good baseline.
“We started out this season really strong and that’s been the goal from the get-go, from at least 2024 that was the plan, to win the championship.”
Cummins said the competition level on the USAC National series is rugged. There’s no such thing as resting on your laurels, even with a sizable points lead.
“It seems like the top 8-10 guys could win any night. It’s definitely tough,” Cummins said. “Everyone has the same goal, they all want to win. It’s like all sports, any one can win on a given night and you just give it your best shot and see how things go.
“We have a decent-sized lead. We just need to finish out strong and not let up and hopefully the last couple of races we won’t have any pressure and can just go out and have fun.”
Cummins won the 2018 Hockett-McMillin by leading all 30 laps of the feature, outlasting Wyatt Burks and Colton Cottle for the win. While he didn’t know Jesse Hockett well, that win remains a special one.
“I know a lot of people have come there trying to win it and for us to show up the first time and win it, that was pretty exciting,” Cummins said. “To kind of look back over your career and see some of those more prestigious wins, that makes it a little more special.”
INEX Legends in for Super Stocks as support class: A late schedule switch will see INEX Legends running as support class on Saturday. In April, Lucas Oil Speedway had the opportunity to add the USAC National Sprints and, at that time, it was decided that the Hickamo Super Stocks would be the support division. This was scheduled not knowing it conflicted with Nevada Speedway's Lehmann Memorial.
Lucas Oil Speedway feels it's important for all local tracks to be mindful of their neighbors' special events, so the Hickamo Super Stocks will not run this Saturday with those competitors encouraged to support Nevada Speedway.
Lucas Oil Speedway's pit gates open at 3 p.m. Saturday with grandstands at 4 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.
Grandstand General Admission:
Adults (13 and up) - $28
Seniors (62 and over & military) - $25
Youth (ages 6-12) - $10
Kids (5 and under) - FREE
Family pass (two adults and up to three youth) - $66
Pit pass - $45
(Credit/debit card fees will be applied at time of purchase at gates)

MOBILE RELEASES EARLY ENTRIES FOR SATURDAY’S WINGED SPRINT CAR RETURN
September 3, 2025 - Race organizer Fred Fayard and Mobile International Speedway officials today announced the early entries for the second winged sprint car race of the year at Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama scheduled for this Saturday night September 6, 2025.
Saturday’s 360-winged sprint car event at the historic Alabama half-mile high-banked speedway will be only the third time since 2019 that winged sprint cars have competed at MIS.
Tampa, Florida’s Johnny Gilbertson was victorious the last time the speedway hosted winged sprint cars this past April 26. Gilbertson held off repeated late race challenges from Dave Mader III to win the thrilling feature event.
A $2,000 winner’s share and $500 to start the event will be on the line for the September 6 return. It will be an open tire event, which should add more intrigue to the night as teams can choose the brand they prefer.
Race officials released the list of confirmed drivers as of Wednesday evening. They confirmed there will be additional entrants announced as they are confirmed leading up to Saturday’s scheduled event.

Hartmann aims to turn luck at IRA Richert Memorial
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 3, 2025 – An overall lack of good luck, which has hounded Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team throughout the 2025 season, was again on display in a pair of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events at The Plymouth Dirt Track and Beaver Dam Raceway last weekend.
The Labor Day weekend of IRA action opened during the Sheboygan County Fair at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Friday, Aug. 29, with Hartmann logging in the 12th fastest qualifying time in the 28-car field. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor went on to place third in the third heat race to earn the 12th starting spot in the 30-lap main event.
Hartmann was running 11th on lap 9 when another competitor moved up the track and forced the Plymouth, Wis. driver into the outside wall between turns three and four, producing a bent right rear wheel.
After heading to the work area, Austin reported an engine issue, which ended the team’s night with a 23rd place showing. Later, Austin and the team discovered a lost cylinder number 8 spark plug in the engine compartment.
One night later, the team headed to Beaver Dam Raceway for the Harry Neitzel Tribute-Jim Wipperfurth Memorial event on what was described as the final Sprint Car race to ever be held at the facility, which is for sale.
The night got off to a strong start for Hartmann as he qualified sixth out of the 34 cars signed in before placing fourth in the second heat race to qualify for his fourth dash of the 2025 IRA season.
A fifth place showing in the second four-lap dash put Hartmann in the 10th starting spot for the 30-lap A main.
Again, poor luck struck in a big way on lap 4 when, while racing for sixth, another driver steered left into Hartmann along the front straightaway. The contact sent Hartmann on a series of flips. While he was able to emerge from the hard wreck uninjured, the heavy impact destroyed his 87A machine. Hartmann ended up 22nd in the final race results.
The incident caused the team to miss the final event of the three-race IRA weekend on Sunday, Aug. 31, at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis.
“It was another bad couple of nights running with the IRA and having drivers make contact with our car,” Hartmann said. “We will get everything put together and be at Cedar Lake this weekend.”
The team is scheduled to compete in the 25th annual two-night Jerry Richert Memorial event at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., this Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept. 6. Limited Sprints and UMSS Traditional Sprints are scheduled to round out the card on both nights, with racing slated to start at 6 p.m.
All IRA events the 87A Hartmann Racing Team enters during the 2025 season will be streamed live on floracing.com.

Runner-up, top 10s highlight IRA tripleheader for Arenz
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 3, 2025 – In one of the toughest stretches of the 2025 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series schedule, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team came away with three solid top-10 showings, including a podium effort in a Labor Day Weekend tripleheader at The Plymouth Dirt Track, Beaver Dam Raceway and The Hill in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. Friday, Aug. 29 through Sunday, Aug. 31.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. resident kicked off the three-race weekend by qualifying 10th in the 28-car field at The Plymouth Dirt Track during the Sheboygan County Fair on Friday, Aug. 29.
Arenz went on to win the first heat race before placing second in the first IRA dash to claim the third starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The 18th-year competitor raced in the second and third positions throughout the hard-fought main event before coming home with a strong second place showing.
One night later, the team entered the Harry Neitzel Tribute-Jim Wipperfurth Memorial event at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, Aug. 30, in a race that was billed as the final Sprint Car race at the facility, which is for sale.
The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion opened the night by qualifying 22nd in the 34-car field. After placing fifth in the second heat race, Arenz rolled off from the 18th starting position in the 30-lap A main.
Arenz marched through the field to gain 10 positions on the way to an eighth place showing.
With 22 cars on hand at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., on Sunday, Aug. 31, Arenz turned in the second fastest qualifying lap before placing second in the second heat race and third in the second IRA dash.
Arenz started sixth in the A main before a caution flew on the opening lap for a spin involving another car. After the caution was called, Arenz spun in turn three as he attempted to slow down his machine. However, he was sent to the rear of the field for being part of the caution flag.
Racing from the rear of the field in the 21st spot, Arenz charged his way up through the field to break into the top 10 on lap 19. Five caution flags over the final 22 laps played to Arenz’s benefit as he moved up to post a seventh place showing.
“I wouldn’t consider it a super great weekend, but definitely decent,” Arenz said. “On a positive note, we were able to put a new car together for this weekend, and everything is in one piece. I wish we could have finished farther forward on Saturday and Sunday. We had a top-three car on Sunday in Sturgeon Bay, but when the yellow flew for another car, I lifted off the throttle coming into turn 3 in the slick. Unfortunately, the spin sent me to the tail on the first lap. However, we ended up finishing a solid seventh after coming back from 21st.”
The team is now scheduled to compete in the 25th annual two-night Jerry Richert Memorial event at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., this Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept. 6. Limited Sprints and UMSS Traditional Sprints are scheduled to round out the card on both nights, with racing slated to start at 6 p.m.

Showdown in September at Can-Am Next For Empire Super
Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (LaFargeville, NY) | Following one of the biggest
weekends on the 2025 schedule, the Empire Super Sprints are right back in
action again this weekend, this time at the Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville,
NY on Saturday September 6. Dubbed the ‘Showdown in September’, the tour
will headline the second night of action at the track located just north of
Watertown, NY.
In two visits so far in 2025, two different winners graced victory lane at
Can-Am. In July for the opener of CNY Speedweek, Dylan Swiernik topped the
field. Just last month at the beginning of August, it was Shawn Donath who
recorded his first victory of the season in the north country.
This weekend, the tour would also like to welcome Cook’s Hardware Center on
board as the presenting sponsor of the Cobra Motorhomes & Trailers dash.
Cook’s Hardware Center is a full service, locally owned hardware store that
offers plumbing and heating services, located on Sand Street in
Philadelphia, NY.
With just three point-paying shows left in 2025, the points battle is in
full swing. Three time and defending champion Jordan Poirier remains at the
top of the standings with a 179 point lead Dylan Swiernik in second place.
Davie Franek sits in third, 159 points behind Swiernik, while Jason Barney
is just fourteen points behind Franek in fourth. Shawn Donath completes the
top five in the standings.

BACK IN THE SADDLE: Brian Brown to make return at Tuscarora 50
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (September 4, 2025) - It is a former
Tuscarora 50 champion worth $62,000, has not been in the seat since the
Knoxville Nationals, sustaining hand and wrist injuries during the Thursday
portion of the four-day program.
“I’m excited to get back to work,” Brian Brown was quick to note. “Originally, the doctor said eight weeks. We’re at the four-week mark now, but after a follow up appointment, the doctor feels good about the healing process in my left wrist and I’m in a good position to give this a shot. Although I’ll have to race with a brace supporting my wrist, I’m still confident in my abilities and hopefully compete for a few wins starting with this weekend’s Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal. Just super grateful for the outpour of support since my crash at Knoxville.
“Also, I can't say enough about my wife, Heather. She’s
sacrificed so much and has done so much in taking care of me this last
month,” Brown added. “I’m not a very good patient.”
Although off for nearly a month, Brown will roll into Port
Royal with three victories to his credit, his most recent on July 12 at
Knoxville Raceway - the product of a hard charge from 16th on the grid.
The 58th Annual Tuscarora 50 finale is scheduled to award $58,000 on Saturday, September 6.
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with High

SKAGIT SPEEDWAY PRESS RELEASE: Nelson Reisner First Responder Night Preview
Alger, WA - Saturday, Sept.13, is Nelson Reisner First Responder Night at Skagit Speedway. Join us as the KarMART USA 410 Sprint Cars come roaring back and joining them are the IMCA Modifieds and the Hornets. All First Responders get in for just $5. To receive the $5 ticket when buying online use the Verify with ID.me feature on the website
410 Sprint Car Racing returns to Skagit Speedway after the $126,000 to win Skagit Nationals Aug. 28-30. Only two races remain for the 410s this season, making the points battle still highly contested. The three days of racing resulted in a swing in the KarMART USA 410 point standings. For the first time this year, Trey Starks is not the points leader. Jason Solwold takes the points lead with 1,182 total points; Starks falls to second but is only five points back with 1,177 points. Robbie Price is third with 1,054 (-128) points.
This year the Season Championship, presented by The Skagit Casino Resort is split between two nights with the 410 Sprint Cars running on Saturday Sept. 20. That night will be just like any other night of racing with 125 total points on the line to a driver who can score a perfect night. A perfect night is categorized as QuickTime in qualifying (15 points), winning your Heat Race (10 points), and winning the A-Main (100 points). These next races are important in deciding who will win the points battle. Will Solwold pick up his second 410 points championship or will Trey Starks deny him of that opportunity, and achieve his third 410 championship, you’ll have to be here to find out.
The IMCA Modifieds are back Sept. 13 after last racing Aug. 2 during Breast Cancer Awareness Night. They will now run every weekend from Nelson Reisner Night to the end of the Skagit Speedway Schedule. Rick Smith was the winner on Breast Cancer Awareness night after starting in the pole position and leading all but two laps. Cole Logan passed Smith during the middle point of the race, but that didn't last long, as the 8W recaptured the top spot. Points leader Jeff Westergard drove from 14th to second, passing Logan and relegating him to a third-place finish.
Westergard leads the points battle with 230 total points, Adam Holtrop is second with 218 (-12) points, and Logan is third with 214 (-16) points. Logan and Westergard are tied for the most wins in the division with two. Westergard has only finished outside the top-five one time this year, and on that night, he finished eighth – he has yet to miss the top-10.
The Hornets return to racing Sept. 13, they were scheduled to race Aug. 16, but that night was rained out. Howard Vos is the most recent winner in the division, tying him and Steve Peters with two wins a piece. Vos leads the points battle with 678 points over second place Bryce Kolar, who has 563 (-115) points, and Braxton Housman, is third with 537 (-141) points. The Hornets have raced six times total this year at Skagit and Vos has yet to finish outside the top five while Kolar has yet to finish outside the top 10 in the five features he has raced in.

Grasty Grabs Pair of Top-10’s at Calistoga Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Heading to Calistoga Speedway over the weekend for the Louie Vermeil Classic, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team had a solid showing at the famed ½ mile as Grasty earned finishes of 9th and 7th during his debut.
“Heading into the weekend I didn’t have a ton of expectations with it being my first time on a big track, and it went pretty well,” Grasty said. “I got more comfortable each time we hit the track and it was great to learn some things.”
Saturday night saw the weekend get underway as Grasty timed the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply backed No. x1 entry in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials on a very slick and worn out surface.
With track conditions and time constraints being factored in, the decision was made to scrap NARC heat races on this night and that lined Grasty up in the fifth row for the 25-lap feature event.
When the feature event went green, Grasty settled into ninth as there was not much passing on this night once the field got strung out. With the track staying in decent shape for the feature, the Suisun City, CA driver focused on learning and figuring out the nuisances of the half-mile.
Continuing to run well in the Top-10, Grasty closed the opening night out with a ninth place finish.
Back in action, on Sunday night improved track conditions and a little more familiarity with the track saw Grasty get off to a better start to the night as he timed fifth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Grasty wasn’t quite able to get the jump down the long straight away into turn one and tucked into second. Keeping the second spot for all eight laps, Grasty’s runner up finish put him in the sixth starting position for the 25-lap feature.
Slipping back to seventh when the finale went green, Grasty worked the bottom of the famed ½ mile. Moving to sixth when the yellow flew on the 10th lap, the restart saw the youngster slip back to seventh.
Keeping his spot, Grasty capped the weekend with his second Top-10 as he finished in the seventh position.
“It was great to get my first laps on a half mile, and overall I think it was a good weekend,” he added. “I want to thank my entire team and all of our sponsors for their hard work and continued to support to make the weekend possible. I am really excited for another 410ci weekend this week as we return to Placerville.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty are back in action with NARC on Saturday night as the series make their final appearance of the year at Placerville Speedway.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-36, Wins-3, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-23

Tanner Carrick 6th and 13th at Louie Vermeil Classic
PETERSEN MEDIA: Taking part in the opening night of the Louie Vermeil Classic competing with NARC and USAC/CRA, Tanner Carrick ran sixth in winged action before a 13th place finish in non-winged competition.
“It was cool to get to Calistoga Speedway and do double-duty,” Tanner Carrick said. “Unfortunately, with it being the first race back the track surface wasn’t great and the track was really slick and abrasive.”
Kicking things off in USAC/CRA action, Carrick got the busy night underway by timing the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in 13th fastest in time trials.
Racing his way to a third-place finish in his heat race, Carrick was locked into the feature event where he rolled off the starting grid from the 13th starting position.
When the USAC/CRA feature came to life on a very slick and abrasive surface, the Lincoln, CA driver settled in as the race to get into the rubber was on. Getting in line in 13th, Carrick settled in as he worked around the ½ mile facility. With not a ton of moving and shaking going on, Carrick held his spot for the duration of the race and closed the race out by taking the checkered flag in 13th.
In the NARC portion of the event, Carrick went out in the last group of time trials and ended up timing in seventh fastest on a very slick surface that was taking rubber in areas.
Following the time trial session, officials decided to cancel NARC heat races due to track conditions and time constraints and that ultimately lined Carrick up in the seventh position for the 25-lap feature event.
Falling back to eighth when the green flag was displayed to the field, Carrick slipped back to 9th on a restart just past the halfway point of the race.
With a couple of late issues taking place just ahead of him, Carrick was able to work his way forward and into sixth in the closing laps.
Closing in on the Top-5, Carrick ultimately accepted Ed Entz’s checkered flag with a sixth place finish.
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 43, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 17, Top 10’s: 28
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports will be back in action on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway.

Big Swing Leads to Answers, Continued Consistency, and Optimism for Ross
Abbottstown, PA – September 3, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
After an average weekend in the middle of August, Tyler Ross rebounded at the Kramer Klash on August 23rd to log his fourth top-five finish in six races.
Tyler and the Ross Racing team were hopeful that it would give them the momentum they needed heading into Lincoln Speedway’s two-day Labor Day Duel event over the holiday weekend.
BACK ON TRACK
Ross executed a nearly perfect night at the Kramer Klash, qualifying the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5 near the top of his group, taking the win in his heat race, then wrapping up the night with a podium finish.
Sure, he was aiming for two spots better, but getting back to finishing inside the top five for the fourth time in three weeks provided a much-needed reassurance to him and his team that they were indeed on the right track heading into the Labor Day Duel.
At Saturday’s Labor Day Duel preliminary, Ross turned a decent qualifying run into a runner-up finish in his heat race to earn a top-ten starting spot in the night’s main event.
Early in the A-main, Ross was forced to take evasive action to miss another car that got into the fence. The situation cost him a handful of spots, dropping him to 14th. He was able to fight back to an 11th-place finish by the checkered flag.
“We have been looking for that little bit extra in the car, and we just went the wrong way Saturday night. We felt like we were okay with the change early in the night, so we stuck to it for the feature, but we missed it. Being off that little bit made it hard to get the positions back and recover from the early setback. If we hadn’t lost those spots early, I believe we were capable of another top-five run,” Ross explained.
STICK WITH IT
Ross’s qualifying laps at Sunday’s finale put him in a bit of an early hole when he and the team struggled to find what they needed to get a bite on the unusually slick and tricky surface.
“We weren’t good enough to capitalize on the track going away as fast as it did (in qualifying). We were still off a little in the heat, but we took a big swing for the B-main and feature,” Ross said.
The changes worked. Ross took the win in the B-main, then charged from 20th to 13th in the A-main to salvage a decent night for his team.
“The adjustments we made before the B-main were what we needed for the heat, so we were too late in that sense, but I was happy to rebound like we did on a track like that,” Ross shared.
“We stuck with our changes even after the rework, knowing the track would end up back to the way it was. The adjustments we made were what I was looking for, and I feel like we could have run up front if we were able to start up front. Sometimes you have to try things to be better. But sometimes you miss it. I know 13th doesn’t sound great, but from where the night started to where we finished, I’m looking forward to the next race.”
Ross will take this weekend off, then plans to return to Lincoln Speedway on September 13th for the Weldon Sterner Memorial.
APPRECIATION
“The team and I would like to give a special shout-out to Tim Eldreth and Eldreth Environmental for allowing our team to borrow his truck the past few races while ours is out of service. We truly appreciate it,” Ross said.
“I can’t thank all of our partners and supporters enough. We mean it when we say we couldn’t do this without them. Please tell all our partners listed at the bottom of this release that you appreciate them being involved in racing. Give them your business anytime you are able.”
“I want to thank Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota ™, Betts Garage, and all of our product partners who keep us going.”

General Manager Kolten Gouse and the rest of the BAPS Motor Speedway management team have focused on making the racing experience better for both fans and competitors.
Now, it’s time to recognize the media. A group Gouse and his staff believe help promote the speedway on a weekly basis and throughout the offseason.
BAPS Motor Speedway owner Scott Gobrecht and Gouse have put together a Media Appreciation Dinner in conjunction with the York Excavating Kevin Gobrecht Classic, which will be held on September 20th. It will feature a catered dinner before the event to honor the media, photographers and push truck drivers on the 2025 credential list and will be sponsored by Sprintcarunlimited.TV & Dirt Track Digest.
“I think it’s important to show our appreciation to the media for their efforts throughout the season,” Gouse said. “If not for photographers, writers, and people who talk about BAPS Motor Speedway, we wouldn’t be able to have a successful event.
“Push truck drivers will also be a part of it. They give their time weekly to the speedway to make our events run smoothly. If not for them, we wouldn’t be able to host any of our events throughout the season.”
A media tent will be in front of the pit area from 3 p.m. to 5 the day of the event. Food will be served, and several drivers will be on site to answer questions from the media. Anyone on the credential list is welcome to grab food and drinks during the night.
“This is our way of saying thank you to all of the people who make BAPS Motor Speedway successful,” Gouse said. “We hope everyone comes out and gets an opportunity to see some good racing while also enjoying some food, drink, and time with drivers.”

ByTyler Altmeyer September 2, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (September 2, 2025) – It’s been a hard-fought year in Posse Country for Jonestown, Pennsylvania’s own Brock Zearfoss, but the former Port Royal Speedway track champion finally broke through, scoring his first feature triumph of the season in Port Royal’s annual Labor Day Classic on Monday, September 1. Zearfoss, piloting Rich Eichelberger’s No. 8 in his victory march, solidified his trip to victory lane with a last lap pass, scooting by Parker Price-Miller at the exit of turn two.
In all, it was a consistent week in Posse Country for Zearfoss, and with his Labor Day Classic win included, the “Jonestown Jet” earned four straight top-fives, kicking things off with a fourth-place run at BAPS Motor Speedway (No. 3Z) on August 27. Zearfoss raced on to finish sixth in Williams Grove Speedway’s Zemaitis Tribute Race on August 29, then rallied from 11th to fourth in Port Royal Speedway’s Fair Opener on August 30.
The consistent stretch ending in victory will prove vital for Zearfoss and Rich Eichelberger, as Port Royal Speedway’s annual Tuscarora 50 – featuring High Limit Racing and awarding almost $60,000 – blasts off Thursday, September 4.
“This was a long time coming,” Zearfoss, backed by Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, Blue Mountain Wellness, said. “Everyone has been working so hard this year. We’ve been close on a few occasions, and I know we’ve had the winning car on more than one occasion, but it’s just how things play out. Rich Eichelberger has given us the tools and equipment to win all season…excited it finally played out in our favor.”

GUESS WHO’S BACK: A-Aron to make RSR return in Port
Royal’s Tuscarora 50; Sanders pilots team to Skagit Nationals top-five
ByTyler Altmeyer
September 2, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 2, 2025) – Officially reinstated, “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel will make his highly-anticipated return to Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) during the coming weekend, set to mold back into the seat for Port Royal Speedway’s annual Tuscarora 50 featuring High Limit Racing. The Clute, Texas, native, who has been on injury reserve since a Kings Royal Week incident at Eldora Speedway in July, is certainly no stranger to the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace,” conquering the facility’s Bob Weikert Memorial for a $100,000 payday earlier this season.
Although unable to compete due to a foot injury, Reutzel’s sideline involvement with RSR proved vital, helping interim wheelman Justin Sanders become acclimated, as well as successful. Sanders’ most recent stretch with RSR included three top-ten performances, all of which highlighted with a fifth-place score in Skagit Speedway’s $126,000-to-win Skagit Nationals finale on Saturday, August 30. The top-five earned RSR a cool $10,000, as well as the team’s 27th top-five of the year.
Other notable performances by Justin Sanders includes a Hard Charge during night one of the Skagit Nationals. The California native rallied from 21st to finish sixth, forced to start deep after a heat race incident sent Sanders to the B-Main.
“Can’t say enough about Justin Sanders and what he’s been able to do for this race team. He jumped in and did a fantastic job and we were privileged to have him,” Brian Ridge, owner of RSR, stated. “We’re happy to have Aaron [Reutzel] back in time for Port Royal Speedway. He knows his way around that place and we’re aiming to put another Crown Jewel on our team’s resume.”
Aaron Reutzel and RSR will roll into Port Royal Speedway’s Tuscarora 50 – awarding $58,000 on Saturday, September 6- with nine victories to their credit, two of which earned by Justin Sanders. Ridge & Sons Racing is currently second in the High Limit Racing team standings with only a ten point gap separating themselves from Rico Abreu Racing.

James McFadden Caps Swing With Tarlton Motorsports by
Sweeping Louie Vermeil Classic
PETERSEN MEDIA- This past weekend saw James McFadden bring his stint in the
USA with Tarlton Motorsports to an end in fitting fashion as he swept the
Louie Vermeil Classic at the famed Calistoga Speedway, which was in action
for the first time since 2019.
“It was a great trip with Tarlton Motorsports and I am
extremely thankful that Tom and Tommy Tarlton had me out,” James McFadden
said. “Drew Warner and the Tarlton Motorsports guys were a blast to work
with and I am extremely pleased with how the trip went and to close it out
by winning two races at Calistoga Speedway is really special.”
Checking in at the famed ½ mile facility nestled in the
heart of California’s Napa Valley, McFadden flexed his muscle early in the
weekend as he earned fast time honors with TRD power under the hood of the
Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales backed No.
21.
With the revival of the track taking some growing pains
during Saturday’s program track officials opted to scrap NARC heat races and
an inversion pill was pulled putting the Alice Springs, NT driver on the
pole of the 25-lap feature event.
As the race came to life, McFadden was hard on the throttle
and quickly jumped out to the race lead. Setting a nice pace out front,
McFadden looked very strong though did feel pressure from Spencer Bayston.
With Bayston actually able to get by McFadden at the race’s
halfway point, the yellow flew and put McFadden back out front. Nailing the
restart, McFadden as able to pull away and score his first ever win at
Calistoga Speedway and in doing so, became the first Australian Driver to
win at the hallowed grounds in exactly 50 years to the day.
Sunday night the action returned, and McFadden again got off
to a quick start as he timed in second fastest in qualifying time trials.
Able to get a heat race in on this night, McFadden finished
third and again found himself on the front row for the 25-lap feature event.
Getting a great jump as the feature event came to life,
McFadden again asserted himself as the driver to beat. Only slowed by a
couple of cautions, McFadden continued to set a torrid pace.
Things did get tricky for the Australian though, as the
white flag flew he felt something give way in the front end of his entry. As
he ran into turn three things worsened, however he was able to keep his
entry pointed the right direction. Despite second running Dominic Gorden
closing on him, McFadden was able to will his car to the checkered flag and
cap off the weekend sweep.
“I felt a bit of a vibration as we got off turn two, and
getting into three I felt the arm give-way,” McFadden explained. “Luckily, I
was able to get it up on the right-rear and get the thing across the finish
line and give these guys another win. Again, I am extremely thankful for the
opportunity to run over here with the Tarlton team the last few months, and
can’t wait to do it again.”
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.

TBD.

Justyn Cox to make 2nd NARC start of the season at Placerville Speedway Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…After being off for a few weeks Justyn Cox is set to climb back aboard the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 42x this Saturday with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars at Placerville Speedway.
“I am really pumped to get back in a 410 on Saturday at Placerville,” stated Cox. “It’s been a quiet year all around and I sure have missed running with NARC. I think we’ve found a good balance with the 360, so I’m excited to see how it translates to the 410.”
Cox has made one NARC 410 start this season, which ended with a 15th place effort during the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway.
Last season saw him earn one victory and help Bates-Hamilton Racing bring home a third-place finish in the NARC owner standings.
The most recent start for Cox in the Berco Redwood/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales Sprinter on August 9th resulted in his initial victory of the season.
The 30-year-old looks to continue the momentum that was built from late-July and early-August, as he competes against the state’s best 410 drivers on Saturday.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity to run this weekend,” Cox commented. “There are only a few more races left on my schedule for 2025, so I’m hoping to finish out strong and go into the off-season with our heads held high.”
Tickets for the $5,000-to-win Pay Dirt Showdown this Saturday at Placerville Speedway can be purchased via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr090625 or at the gate on race day.
If you can’t make it out to the event FloRacing will be providing live coverage.
After the NARC event Cox and BHR return next week to finish off the Berco Redwood championship season at Placerville Speedway.
The Forni-Humphreys Classic is an event Cox has won twice before and hopes to make it number three during the 20th running of the event on September 13th.

Hagar Wins at Home Track Before Capturing Two Podiums in Alabama
Inside Line Promotions – EASTABOGA, Ala. (Sept. 2, 2025) – Derek Hagar has finished in each position on the podium during the last two weekends.
Hagar and car owner A.G. Rains have rebounded well from a devastating moment in the middle of August when a train crashed into the team’s trailer en route to a race in Tennessee. The duo made an effort to finish the season on the track and returned in fashion on Aug. 23 during an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints show at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.
Hagar won a heat race from the third starting position before he captured the main event – his fifth triumph of the year.
“The first weekend back after the big incident, to come out and click off a win was big for the team,” he said. “It helped stay on track of the main focus, which is to win races.”
The team carried that momentum into a USCS Series doubleheader in Alabama last weekend, which began on Saturday at Xtreme Speedway in Moulton. Hagar advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race, placed fifth in the dash and moved from fifth to third in the A Main.
“We got up to third in the feature and I was riding around catching the guys in front of us,” he said. “The track started moving. The bottom was really good even though it was getting abrasive on top. Once we found that we stayed right there with them, but weren’t able to mount a charge to pick up a win.”
The weekend concluded on Sunday at Talladega Short Track. Hagar maneuvered from third to second place in a heat race and from sixth to third place in the dash to line up on the inside of the second row in the main event.
“I got the lead around Lap 10 or so and led it for a while,” he said. “I could tell my tires were going away from me. Dale (Howard) got by me with a few laps to go, but the caution came out so that saved me. Then on the last lap I blew through the rubber and got off the bottom barely enough where he got underneath me in turn three.”
Hagar’s runner-up result was his 12th top five in a sprint car this season.
A trip to Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo., is on tap this Saturday for a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League event.
“We’re going to run it with our 360,” Hagar said. “We’ve done it before. My dad did it in the early 2000s and I’ve done with a 360 and have been competitive. Hopefully the track stays slick and we can have a good showing.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 23 – Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. – Heat race: 1 (3); Feature: 1 (1).
Aug. 30 – Xtream Speedway in Moulton, Ala. – Heat race: 2 (4); Dash: 5 (5); Feature: 3 (5).

Dover Charges to Top 10 to Finish Fifth in Huset’s Speedway Championship Standings
Inside Line Promotions – BEAVER DAM, Wis. (Sept. 2, 2025) – Jack Dover wrapped up the Huset’s Speedway points season last Friday by earning the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars during the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver advanced from 17th to eighth, marking his ninth top 10 in 11 points races at the track in Brandon, S.D., this season. He finished the year fifth in the championship standings.
“Overall, it was a good night as we moved forward,” he said. “It was another solid night like we’ve had a lot of this season. It seemed like we struggled at the beginning of the night too often. If we have to take something good out of it, I bet we passed the most cars this year. We definitely had speed when it comes feature-time.”
With weather predicting to invade the track the remainder of the weekend, Dover drove to Beaver Dam Raceway for a Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series show on Saturday.
“We looked at the weather and it was showing Huset’s would get rain so we decided to head to Beaver Dam,” he said. “We went out 31st in time trials and were 10th quickest. We ended up third in the heat race. We went 15th to ninth in the first few laps of the feature before a guy came down and his left front must have went in front of my right rear. I was passing cars like crazy on the bottom. The next thing I knew a car was coming down the track and I set sail. The car is destroyed.”
The team is building a new car this week in preparation to race this Friday and Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., during the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series. It will mark Dover’s driving debut at the track.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 29 – Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. – Qualifying: 6; Heat race: 6 (6); Feature: 8 (17).
Aug. 30 – Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. – Qualifying: 10; Heat race: 3 (2); Feature: 21 (15).

Starks Earns Hard Charger Award During Skagit Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (Sept. 2, 2025) – Trey Starks ended the Skagit Nationals presented by 26 Promotions on a positive note last weekend.
Most of the Kubota High Limit Racing event hosted by Skagit Speedway was frustrating for Starks, who rallied from 22nd to 12th in the A Main on Saturday to garner the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
“Those two preliminary nights resulted in not a good points score going into the final night,” he said. “On Saturday, we started fifth and ran fifth in the qualifier. Looking back on it, having to run the B Main was what allowed us to make improvements to our car. It gave us another chance to tune. We picked our way up to second to transfer into the main event. We knew we were getting better so we made a few more changes for the feature. We marched our way up through there and avoided a wreck or two. The feature was when I felt best pretty much all weekend. We were able to maneuver pretty well. I’m happy with how we were by the end of it, but at those big shows you can’t take any nights off and with being off in speed on Friday and having some bad luck on Thursday, it made us have to claw our way from the back.”
The event began on Thursday with Starks qualifying fifth quickest.
“We started off strong by qualifying fifth,” he said. “We were set up pretty well if we made it through the heat race. Unfortunately, before we even got to the finish line our weekend took a turn for the worse. We started on the inside of the third row and fired off pretty good, but I took contact at the right front and that sent me spinning across to the infield. We ended up eighth in that race and that put us in the B Main. That was kind of a mess as well. We were running third and the track was pretty chunky. In the middle of (turns) three and four I had a bunch of chunks of dirt hit me in the face and it knocked my visor open. We ended up spinning out. We had to go to the back and while trying to pick our way through there something broke. The car took a hard right and we ended in the backstretch wall.”
That was the first race since Aug. 31, 2023, that Starks didn’t advance into the A Main.
Friday was slightly better as Starks timed in 24th quickest and placed second in a heat race to make the main event.
“The track conditions were vastly different than Thursday and we got caught behind,” he said. “Our car wasn’t quite where we needed it to be. We ran second in the heat race and that put us starting 19th in the feature. We just ran around there the whole race. We dug ourselves in a hole during the preliminary nights that was pretty hard to get out of.”
Up next, Starks will head east to drive for Jason Meyers Racing this Thursday through Saturday during the Kubota High Limit Racing’s Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa.
“When he reached out it’s not something I’d normally do because we stay busy here and the amount we race is pretty much the maximum I can get away, but it’s a unique opportunity,” he said. “The main thing is I’m really interested in working with Jason Meyers Racing and the guys there because they have a good operation and also Port Royal is one of my favorite tracks. It seemed like an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. It’s a really cool race and I’m eager to get back out there and on that track.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 28 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. – Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 8 (5); B Main: 16 (3).
Aug. 29 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. – Qualifying: 24; Heat race: 2 (1); Feature: 20 (19).

Ryan Bernal Caps Busy Weekend with USCS Win at Petaluma Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Ryan Bernal had a wild weekend. Following an incident on the last lap on Saturday’s USAC/CRA feature, the Tom Dunkel Racing team and the Josh Ford Motorsports team decided to use the JFM entry in USAC competition on Sunday where Bernal ran second in the Louie Vermeil Classic and backed it up by winning at Petaluma Speedway on Monday night.
“Calistoga really didn’t go the way we hoped,” Ryan Bernal said. “After the issues in the USAC feature on Saturday night, nobody hesitated to get the JFM car ready for USAC on Sunday and really, I think we had the car to beat, but we had a tire going down and that let Logan Seavey get by late in the feature.”
Timing the NOS Energy Drink/Inland Rigging/JFM backed No. 17x in second fastest in qualifying time trials before finishing second in heat race competition.
Lining up fifth in the opening night feature event, Bernal was very sporty in the early goings of the feature as he quickly worked his way into second and turned his attention to race leader, RJ Johnson.
As the laps clicked off and the leaders worked through traffic, Bernal made a move coming to the white that saw him take over the race lead as they ran through turns one and two.
Heading into three and four, Johnson was right with Bernal and as they raced into the final set of corners contact ensued sending both cars up the track and into the wall.
With heavy damage to Bernal’s TDR entry, the team opted to scrap their wing efforts in the JFM No. 73 and convert that to their USAC car for Sunday’s finale.
Back for another shot for a ‘Louie’, Bernal got off to a quick start as he timed in sixth fastest in qualifying time trials before a wild heat race saw him score the win.
Lining up on the front row of the feature event, Bernal again hammered the throttle as the field was shown the green and jumped out to the early lead.
Looking very good out front, Bernal was strong though soon felt pressure from Logan Seavey. The two non-wing standouts thrilled the crowd amidst a fantastic side by side battle and while Bernal tried to hang on despite having a tire losing air, he ultimately gave the top spot up in the waning laps of the race.
Finishing second, Bernal and team made the decision to head to Petaluma Speedway on Monday night to compete with the USCS.
Timing in second fastest in his qualifying flight on Monday night, Bernal used his front row starting spot in heat race competition to pick up the win.
Lining up in the second row of the 30-lap feature event, Bernal jumped into second when the race came to life, and on lap two found himself out front.
Once out front, Bernal flexed his muscle and was the dominant force of the night. With only stoppages slowing him down, Bernal was able to power his way to the win, giving him four on the season in 2025.
“It was a huge effort by the TDR and JFM guys,” Ryan Bernal said. “Thankful to have some many great people in my corner and really happy to get them a win and a second place finish.”
Ryan Bernal and TDR would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Inland Rigging, JFM, BOXO, Dunkel Farms, Keizer Wheels, BR Motorsports, Pacific Highway Rentals, King racing Products, HBC, Maverick, RB Inserts, Osborne Speed and Machine, SURECAN, MPe, and Woodland Auto Display for their support.
JFM would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Inland Rigging, MPe, SURECAN, Woodland Auto Display, Beilman Motorsports, and 1Way Technologies for their support in 2025.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 30, Wins: 4, Top 5’s: 13, Top 10’s: 17
ON TAP: Bernal and JFM are TBD on their next event at this time.

Kaleb Johnson Maneuvers to First World of Outlaws Top 10 of Season During Huset’s Speedway Season Finale
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 1, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson capped the Huset’s Speedway season on Sunday by earning his first top-10 result of the year with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
The Team DGRD driver qualified 19th quickest and advanced from fifth to fourth place during a heat race. Johnson continued to move forward in the L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout presented by Myrl & Roy’s Paving feature, maneuvering from 15th to 10th for his third career top 10 during World of Outlaws competition.
“I think it went pretty solid,” he said. “We were able to move forward in the heat race on a track that was tough to pass on. Then we moved forward in the feature. To get our first top 10 with the Outlaws this season was a great way to end our year at Huset’s.”
It marked his second top 10 of the weekend at the high-banked track. The team kicked off the busy weekend on Friday during the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking, which was the final points race of the season at Huset’s Speedway.
Johnson timed in fifth quickest in his group and he placed fifth in a heat race. He hustled from 14th to ninth in the A Main.
“We tried changing a couple of things right after hot laps and unfortunately we went the wrong way,” he said. “Then we didn’t get a good start in the heat race and eight laps go by quick. I felt decent in the A Main. We had been fast there all year. I was able to get up to eighth right before halfway. Then there was a red flag. I felt I could make decent speed on the top and that’s where people weren’t, but after the restart the car got super tight and it wasn’t the lane to be in.”
Johnson’s ninth-place result dropped him to second in the championship standings as he finished only five points behind the champion Ryan Timms.
“It definitely stings, but at the end of the day life goes on,” Johnson said. “A half a tenth better in qualifying and it changes everything, but it is what it is. We still had a good year. We just had bad nights at the wrong time. Congrats to Ryan and his team. They are one of the hottest teams in the country. If I had to lose to anyone I’m at least glad it was him.”
Johnson will head to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., this Friday and Saturday for the 25th annual Jerry Richert Memorial with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series.
“I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s one of my favorite tracks. It usually gets super wide and racy.”

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Heads North for Labor Day Weekend Tripleheader
Chino Hills, CA — August 28, 2025 — For the first time since 2021, Chino Hills, California, sprint car racer Eddie Tafoya Jr. is heading to Northern California for three big races over Labor Day weekend. The now-veteran driver will kick things off this Saturday and Sunday, August 30th and 31st, competing in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series 14th Annual Louie Vermeil Classic at the legendary Calistoga Speedway. On Labor Day Monday, he’ll make the short trip to Petaluma Speedway to battle with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series.
The weekend at Calistoga is one of the most highly anticipated events on the West Coast in 2025. Shuttered since 2019, the picturesque half-mile clay oval seemed doomed until the city purchased the fairgrounds property, bringing racing back to the historic venue.
For 28-year-old Tafoya, it will be just his second trip to Calistoga. The last time he raced there came on September 1, 2019 — the track’s final event before the shutdown — during the season he earned USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year honors. That night he qualified 16th in a 24-car field, started 16th, and finished 15th in the main event.
His most recent outing at Petaluma Speedway came in 2021, when he placed 11th in the USAC/CRA main event on the tight 3/8-mile clay oval after returning from a summer racing stint in Indiana.
Tafoya heads north after an impressive performance two weeks ago at Perris Auto Speedway. A violent qualifying crash left his car badly damaged, but he and his crew went to work immediately, thrashing in the pits to get the #51T ready for his heat race. Forced to start at the rear of both his heat and the 30-lap main due to not recording a qualifying time, Tafoya charged forward spectacularly. After starting eighth in his eight-lap heat race, he advanced to fourth in the heat. In the main, he started 24th, steered his car impressively through the pack, and avoided the on-track chaos. All told, he passed 16 cars in the feature to finish 8th and capture the In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award.
Fans unable to make the trip to Northern California can catch both nights of the Louie Vermeil Classic live on Flo Racing, with coverage beginning at 5:00 p.m. PDT.
Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at @eddietafoya51.
The Tafoya Racing team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season.

Hartmann preps for IRA Labor Day weekend tripleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2025 – After 23 days out of the driver’s seat, Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team got back at it last week with the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws and Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association.
On Tuesday, Aug. 19, Hartmann and crew traveled to far western Wisconsin to take on the World of Outlaws 410 Sprint Car Series at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis.
The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor qualified 23rd in the 27-car field with a lap of 12.045 around the lightning-fast, third-mile high-banked clay oval.
After placing seventh in the second heat race, the Plymouth, Wis. driver advanced to the 30-lap A-main with a second place showing in the Last Chance Showdown.
Hartmann held strong in the main event to post a 21st place showing.
The team made its first-ever visit to the LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association on Saturday, Aug. 23.
The 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award recipient qualified 19th overall in the 36-car field with a lap of 11.679 seconds on the quarter-mile high-banked dirt oval.
He then placed sixth in the first IRA heat race before starting fifth in the B Main. Hartmann was running seventh, needing to place in the top four to advance to the main event, when an incident on lap 8 ended his evening early. He was credited with a 10th place showing.
“It was another IRA show where the results weren’t what we wanted,” Hartmann said. “I didn’t have a very good night behind the wheel. We’re looking forward to getting things straight for the three-race weekend coming up.”
87A Hartmann Racing Team is preparing for a big tripleheader weekend of IRA action starting at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., for the annual Sheboygan County Fair race on Friday, Aug. 29.
The following night, Hartmann joins the IRA for the Harry Neitzel Tribute and Jim Wipperfurth Memorial in what is being billed as the final Sprint Car race at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., on Saturday, Aug. 30.

Arenz takes first run at LaSalle, ramps up for three-race IRA weekend
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2025 – After competing in just three Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series races over the span of the past seven weeks, Travis Arenz and his crew got back on track with their first appearance at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Arenz opened the night by qualifying 18th overall in the 36-car field with a lap of 11.660 seconds.
After placing sixth in the second IRA heat race, the 2020 and 2021 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion rolled off third and advanced one spot to place second in the 12-lap B main and move on to the evening’s main event.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver started 21st in the 30-lap main event and worked his way up to as high as 12th before tallying a 20th place showing.
"LaSalle is a cool facility," Arenz said. "I have never raced there before, so I’m glad we got to experience it, but the night's results were less than favorable. I made contact with the wall after losing tack coming out of the turn during the closing laps of the feature, which resulted in making contact with another driver. It was a driving error on my part. I always want to race clean and respectfully. With the wreck this past weekend, there is a lot of work to prepare for this weekend. We will get everything back together and be ready. I hope to turn good clean laps all weekend. I'm also hoping to get a little redemption at Beaver Dam while we still can!"
The Travis Arenz Motorsports Team is set to enter a big tripleheader weekend of IRA action starting at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., for the annual Sheboygan County Fair race on Friday, Aug. 29.
On-track action is set to commence at 5 p.m.
One night later, Arenz joins the IRA for the Harry Neitzel Tribute and Jim Wipperfurth Memorial, billed as the last-ever Sprint Car race at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., on Saturday, Aug. 30.
Spectator gates are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. with racing starting at 6 p.m.

Oil Region Labor Day Classic: Tri-City Raceway Park’s Three-Night Dirt Racing Showdown!
Franklin, PA — The 2025 dirt racing season at Tri-City Raceway Park continues with a bang as the Oil Region Labor Day Classic takes over the track from Friday, August 29 through Sunday, August 31. This three-night event features touring series, division battles, and special tribute races—promising high-speed action and memorable moments for racers and fans alike.
Friday night kicks off with the RUSH Late Model Touring Series competing for $4,000 to win. Back in May, Daryl Charlier earned his first career RUSH Tour victory at Tri-City in an exciting race that energized the crowd. Also on Friday is the 12th and final 410 Sprint Car race of the season, sponsored by Hovis Auto and Truck Supply, paying $3,000 to win. Leading the sprint wins this season is Ricky Peterson Jr. with four victories, while A.J. Flick holds two wins.

Saturday night highlights the BRP Modified Tour running a 35-lap, $2,500-to-win feature with a total purse of $12,870 for the 24-car A-Main. Rex King Jr. won the May BRP race at Tri-City, with the June event canceled due to rain. Supporting Saturday’s lineup are the Penn Ohio Pro Stock Touring Series for $1,500 to win, the first of two Ray’s Races for the Shawgo Real Estate Pro Stocks, honoring the late Ray Virgile, and the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprint Cars racing for $800 to win. The Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprint Car division, led by Blaze Myers with 9 wins in 13 features, also takes the track Saturday.

THE MARSH HEATING & COOLING WINNER CHALLENGE

ADAMS RETURNS TO MUST SEE COMPETITION
August 25, 2025 - After a fourteen-year absence, Donnie Adams Jr. is set to return to Must See Racing Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com competition this weekend at Owosso Speedway. Adams will join the tour for the two-day weekend of racing capped off by the $10,000-to-win Saturday finale.
Adams last competed with MSR in 2011. The Alexandria, Indiana native is slowly returning to competition after a several year absence to focus on his family and job. He returned to racing action in late 2023. He has been primarily competing in non-winged events but looks to lengthen his racing schedule by now adding a few winged events to his activities.
“My initial involvement with winged racing didn't go as I had hoped” explains Adams. “The issue was with my car. It didn't handle like the DIABLO’s did. They were narrow and stiff. Mine was an old small, tubed BEAST and it flexed. You would make a spring change, and it would not react to the change. I actually cut off all the wing tabs and said I'm gonna stick to non-wing. Only problem was there was no non-wing stuff other than the Little 500”.
A crash at Winchester Speedway during a 500 Sprint Car Tour race in late June set up the return to winged racing by chance.
“After we junked the car at Winchester, I needed to quickly get a car before the next race. Nick Bohanan had a brand-new car at BEAST. He said, ‘I haven't picked it up yet but if you want it you can have it’. It's a winged BEAST. It’s got the raised rail and wing tabs and spuds. Thats what peaked by interest to begin with.
“We just ran Owosso with the 500SCT earlier this month. That place is amazing. I knew Must See Racing was coming there at the end of the month for a two-day show. I mentioned it to my mom. She is my biggest race fan and my sponsor through our family business. She said why don't you get a wing. My dad raced wings forever and she loved it. Everything just kind of fell into place so it looks like we’re gonna do it,” laughed Adams.
His father Donnie Adams Sr. was a force to be reckoned with in pavement sprint car competition in the 1990’s. He was a Little 500 polesitter and USAC National Sprint Car Series feature winner. He transitioned to winged pavement sprint car racing towards the end of his career. That was where he found his true calling in open wheel racing. He was nearly unbeatable in SOD and Capital Promotions events, winning numerous times all over the Midwest.
The younger Adams is already making a name for himself. At only 38 years of age, he is a past Little 500 polesitter and podium finisher. Now that he is back racing full-time, a pavement sprint car victory seems possible in the not-so-distant future. Perhaps it could happen this weekend in Ovid, Michigan.
“I don't know what to expect in my return to winged racing this weekend. I know there are some tough guys up there. A top ten going into it would be great. but I know I have a lot to learn. There’s a difference between getting around the track and being competitive. I have good equipment. Bobby Santos has been the guy in my corner, especially with non-wing stuff, and getting back into it. I kinda picked his brain on wing baseline stuff. Plus, i have my old notes so I think I should be ok" concluded Adams.

Dover Produces Top Five at Off Road Speedway and Top 10 at Huset’s Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 26, 2025) – Jack Dover garnered a top-five result last Saturday to highlight a two-race weekend.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor kicked off a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars event at Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb., by winning a heat race from the outside of the front row. That lined him up second in the main event.
“I was second early and we had a restart about eight laps in,” Dover said. “I slid the leader on the restart because I knew it was my only opportunity because the track was going to take rubber. I tried sliding him again in (turns) three and four, but I knew we weren’t going to have enough room so I stayed on the bottom. When I did that it definitely didn’t help the tires. My car didn’t seem like it was hooked up like it should have been so I think I sealed my tires over. They started to go away around Lap 12 and by Lap 15 was when they felt gone with no grip. It was the most noticeable I’ve felt in my career.”
Dover hung on to salvage a fourth-place finish. He remains the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars points leader by 44 points with three races remaining this season.
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway, where Dover timed in second quickest in his group. A fourth-place outing in a heat race ranked him ninth in overall points to miss the feature redraw by only one spot. That lined him up on the inside of the fifth row for the main event.
“I didn’t feel like I was hooked up enough on the right side,” he said. “The car wasn’t great so we have some room to grow. We have to work on that a little bit.”
Dover maintained a top 10 throughout the race before ending seventh – his eighth top 10 of the season at the track, which is tied for the third most. He moved up to fourth in the championship standings and is only 15 points out of third place heading into the final points race of the season at Huset’s Speedway.
The track’s points finale is this Friday followed by the L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout presented by Ace Ready Mix and Myrl & Roy’s Paving featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Saturday and Sunday.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 23 – Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb. – Heat race: 1 (2); Feature: 4 (2).
Aug. 24 – Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. – Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 4 (3); Feature: 7 (9).
SEASON STATS –
37 races, 1 win, 13 top fives, 18 top 10s, 22 top 15s, 26 top 20s
UP NEXT –
Friday through Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., for the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking and the L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout presented by Ace Ready Mix and Myrl & Roy’s Paving featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series

Becker Collected In Tangle During Gold Cup Feature
PETERSEN MEDIA- Taking part in the 71st Gold Cup Race of Champions in Chico, CA with High Limit Racing, Sean Becker had a nice charge during his preliminary night feature as he worked his way forward to a 10th place finish before being collected in a tangle while running 14th in Saturday night’s finale.
“I really want to thank my Bjork Motorsports team for working so hard all week to get us better each time we hit the track,” Sean Becker said. “I really felt like we were onto something on Saturday but unfortunately we got collected early in the feature.”
Taking on the stars and cars of the High Limit Racing tour on Thursday night for his prelim, Becker got things underway by timing in 20th quick which put him in an early points hole.
Lining up on the front row of heat race, the Roseville, CA driver was able to settle into second as things came to life. Holding on to second, Becker locked into the feature event as he took the green flag from the 15th starting spot.
Slipping back to 16th when the prelim night feature came to life, Becker was up to 15th by the fifth lap as the field worked around the slick surface.
Working into 14th at the halfway point of the race, Becker continued to gain steam as he was in 13th a lap later.
A big move on the 16th lap saw the current NARC Championship contender power his way into 10th as he hooked up in a torrid battle with Brady Bacon.
Able to clear Bacon, Becker settled into 10th where he went on to close his night out.
Back in action on Saturday night for the Gold Cup Race of Champions finale, Becker lined up in the second row of his qualifier with just three transfer berths up for grabs into the big show.
On a racy surface, Becker quickly found his way into third as the race came to life and settled into the final transfer spot. Holding the position for all eight laps, Becker locked into the 71st Gold Cup Race of Champion feature event as he took the green flag from the 19th starting position.
When the championship feature went green, Becker again got off to a strong start as he began racing his way towards the Top-10.
On the slick surface he was able to work his way forward and was up into the 14th spot when trouble struck on the 10thlap and he was collected in a tangle which brought his night to an end.
“We were really off to a good start in the feature Saturday, and I just hate it for everyone it ended how it did,” Becker said. “Again, big thank you to the Bjork Motorsports team for working so hard all week.”
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-30, Wins-0, Top 5’s- 6, Top-10’s- 17
ON TAP: Becker and the Bjork Motorsports team get back to NARC action this weekend as they head to Calistoga Speedway on Saturday and Sunday night.

Last Minute Change of Plans Results In 13th Place Finish at Gold Cup Race of Champions for Chance Grasty
PETERSEN MEDIA- Enduring engine issues at Placerville Speedway, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team thought their only activity at Gold Cup would be the opening night 360ci race. Thanks to some great partners, the team procured a fresh 410ci and were able to take part in the entire event and it paid off as Grasty finished 13th in Saturday’s feature event.
“We headed to the track Wednesday thinking that was our only night of action for the week, but thanks to Bushey Financial Services, he helped us add another 410ci to our stable and we were good to go for the rest of the week,” Chance Grasty said.
After running 13th in Wednesday night’s non-stop 360ci feature, Grasty and company hit the track for their prelim night on Friday after dropping their new powerplant into the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry.
Timing in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials, the Suisun City, CA driver lined up in the second row of his heat race. Getting a great jump, Grasty was quickly into second and chasing after the race leader. Not quite able to steal the win, Grasty’s effort still had him very strong in event points as he lined up ninth in the feature event.
Getting off to a bit of a slow start in the Friday night feature, Grasty battled a loose racecar as he made some changes to his line and with his wing to get his car more comfortable. A late run saw him get back into the Top-10 as he finished the night in ninth and sat 15th in points heading into the Saturday night finale.
Sitting on the front row of his Saturday night qualifier, Grasty needed to finish inside the Top-3 to lock into the feature event. Settling into second, Grasty was never challenged for the spot and was in his first ever Gold Cup feature event.
Taking the green from the 15th starting spot, Grasty was able to work his way forward on the slick surface before the rubber starting going down on the speedway.
Inside the Top-10 and into seventh with just two laps to go in the 40-lapper, Grasty’s right-rear gave way as he limped around the track and was scored 13th when the checkered flew on the event.
“I am just so thankful everything worked out, and I wish we could have capped the weekend off with a Top-10 but our tire just couldn’t take anymore,” Grasty added. “Thankful to have great sponsors and a great team behind me.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty are now set to take on NARC on Saturday and Sunday night at Calistoga Speedway.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-34, Wins-3, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-21

Ryan Bernal Races Into Gold Cup Feature
PETERSEN MEDIA: Traveling to Chico, CA last weekend to take part in the 71st Gold Cup Race of Champions aboard the Josh Ford Motorsports No. 73 entry, Ryan Bernal raced his way into the feature event but a late spin and a rubber down surface relegated him to a 21st place finish.
“Competing in the Gold Cup was definitely a grind” Ryan Bernal said. “It was a hot weekend, and pair that in with competing against the best in the business and it tests you but thankfully my guys were up for the challenge.”
Taking to the Silver Dollar Speedway for his qualifying run on Friday, Bernal got the weekend kicked off by timing the NOS Energy Drink/Inland Rigging/MPe backed entry in 18th fastest in qualifying time trials.
The special Gold Cup format featured a large heat race inversion, and Bernal took full advantage of lining up on the front row of his heat. Starting and finishing second, the Hollister, CA locked into the preliminary night feature event as he took the green flag from the fourteenth starting spot.
When the race came to life, there was some racing room on the ¼ mile Silver Dollar Speedway surface and Bernal was slowly able to pick up some track position after falling back as far as 18th during the first half of the race.
One the race hit the halfway point, Bernal was able to get pointed in the right direction and begin making up ground in a hurry. Getting in 15thon the 26th lap, Bernal was up to 14th when a late caution set up a green-white-checkered finish.
Getting up to 12th when the race went green, Bernal used the white flag lap to gain another position as he took the 11thspot at the finish and bettered his position for Saturday’s finale.
Lining up in the second row of his Saturday night qualifier, Bernal needed to finish inside the Top-Three to lock into the feature, but a fourth place finish forced him into the last chance qualifier for one final shot at making the Gold Cup.
Battling hard with his NOS Energy Drink Teammate Shane Golobic, as well as his JFM Teammate Brady Bacon, Bernal showcased a very strong car as he ran inside a transfer spot.
Finishing third in the ‘B’, Bernal was locked into the 40-lap ‘A’ where he rolled off the starting lineup from the 23rdposition.
As the race got underway on a very slick surface, Bernal was able to make some ground early as he worked into 18th.
Getting his right-rear up over the cushion on the eighth lap, Bernal spun to a stop and was relegated to the back of the pack.
As the race came back to life, it was apparent that the track was taking rubber and any charge from the rear would be extremely difficult.
Doing all he could, Bernal picked up a couple of positions as he capped his Gold Cup off with a 21st place finish.
“It wasn’t the result we were after but we took the hand we were dealt,” Ryan Bernal added. “Again, huge thanks to my guys for their hard work and getting both JFM cars into the show.”
Ryan Bernal and TDR would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Inland Rigging, JFM, BOXO, Dunkel Farms, Keizer Wheels, BR Motorsports, Pacific Highway Rentals, King racing Products, HBC, Macerick, RB Inserts, Osborne Speed and Machine, SURECAN, MPe, and Woodland Auto Display for their support.
JFM would like to thank NOS Energy Drink, Inland Rigging, MPe, SURECAN, Woodland Auto Display, Beilman Motorsports, and 1Way Technologies for their support in 2025.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 26, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 11, Top 10’s: 14

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 26, 2025 – Following a month away from competition, a weekend of 360 and 410 Sprint Car action offered a little bit of everything for Alex Pokorski and members of the Akright Auto Racing Team.
The team opened the doubleheader weekend with a night of Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Friday, Aug 22.
Alex began the program by registering the seventh fastest qualifying time in the 26-car field with a lap of 12.746 around the semi-banked third-mile clay oval.
After starting third and placing second in the second heat race, the fifth-year Sprint Car racer rolled off from the fourth starting slot in the 25-lap headliner. The West Bend native used a strong start to vault into second on lap 4.
While dueling with Scotty Thiel for the runner-up spot on lap 9, Pokorski brushed the front stretch wall, which resulted in a flat right rear tire. After retreating to the work area for a tire change, he rejoined the field, charging from 21st to secure a 12th place finish.
One night later, on Saturday, Aug. 23, Pokorski and crew made their debut appearance at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., for a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event.
After qualifying 31st in the 36-car field with a lap of 12.227 seconds around the quarter-mile high-banked dirt oval, Pokorski placed seventh in the fourth heat race. Alex lined up sixth in the 12-lap B Main and was battling for the final A-main transfer spot when he clipped the front stretch wall on lap 7. The impact produced enough damage to bring the evening to a close for the No. 4 car. He was credited with a ninth place showing in the B main.
"We had good speed in the 360 again," Pokorski said. “We were just unlucky to crash early in the A main. On the 410 side of things, we are still learning. I ended up driving it too hard and made some more work for us this week. We have a good start on it. I'm hoping to finish up the season strong, beginning with making the three shows this weekend.”
The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is preparing for a big tripleheader weekend of IRA action starting at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis., for the annual Sheboygan County Fair race on Friday, Aug. 29.
On-track action is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
One night later, Pokorski joins the IRA for the Harry Neitzel Tribute and Jim Wipperfurth Memorial in what is being billed as the final Sprint Car race ever to be held at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., on Saturday, Aug. 30.
Spectator gates are scheduled to open at 4 p.m., with racing starting at 6 p.m.
The weekend closes with the team’s first-ever appearance at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., with the IRA 410 Sprint Car Series.
Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

Skagit Nationals Preview
Alger, WA – It's time for one of the biggest events in Sprint Car racing in the country. The Skagit Nationals with Kubota High Limit Racing takes place this weekend, starting Thursday, Aug. 28, running through Saturday, Aug. 30. One hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars is on the line for the winner Saturday night. This is a weekend you won't want to miss.
Kubota High Limit Racing makes its second-ever appearance at Skagit Speedway for the Skagit Nationals, and this event is the highest-paying race on the West Coast while also being the highest-paying race on the High Limit schedule at $126,000 to win. The purse alone for the weekend exceeds $450,000 while paying $6,000 total to make the A-main all three nights. This is a premier Sprint Car race that you won’t forget.
Rico Abreu looks to defend his title after winning the event last year, the richest win of his career at $102,626.26. Abreu won two of the three nights, only being beaten by Trey Starks on opening night. Starks started second and made the move into the lead on lap one and went on to lead every lap. Friday night, Abreu started outside Tanner Thorson on the front row. Thorson led the opening seven laps before Abreu got around him on a restart and never looked back. The 24 of Abreu started on the pole for Saturday night; however, James McFadden got the jump from the outside and led the opening 14 laps. Abreu never let McFadden out of his sight, throwing slide jobs at him but to no avail early. Finally, in lap traffic, Abreu was able to get around McFadden and pull ahead into the race lead.
The West Coast swing for Kubota High Limit Racing has been split between two drivers: Corey Day and Justin Sanders, who is filling in for Aaron Reutzel in the 87. The tour hit the Golden State on Aug. 15 at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA, with Day getting the win, then headed to Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA, on Aug. 16, where Sanders got the win. Three nights followed the next weekend at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA (Aug. 21-23) for the 71st Gold Cup Race of Champions. The field was split into two groups for the two preliminary nights, then came back together on the final night. Day won his preliminary night, and Sanders won his preliminary night, but Day won on the final night with Sanders finishing second.
The tour continues to Douglas County Dirt Track on Monday, Aug. 25, before arriving at Skagit Speedway for three nights. Brad Sweet leads the Kubota High Limit driver standings as of 8/23/25 with 1744 points, Abreu is second with 1673 points (-71), and Brent Marks is third with 1624 points (-120).
This weekend is still a normal regular season points-paying weekend for the local Skagit Speedway registered 410 Sprint Car drivers. Trey Starks leads the points battle with 967, Jason Solwold is second with 930 points (-37), and Jesse Schlotfeldt is third with 830 points (-137). Starks is also looking to be the first driver to win the three crown jewel events at Skagit Speedway in the same year. He won Dirt Cup this year, and won the 360 Nationals. The only box remaining to check off is the Skagit Nationals.
Before the racing action starts Thursday, join us Wednesday, Aug. 27, at Strickerz Bowling located inside Angel of the Winds Casino Resort for Kevin and Monika’s High Roller Bowler Tournament from 6-9 pm, open to all ages.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Victorious in Wisconsin Before Producing Podiums in North Dakota
Inside Line Promotions – WEST FARGO, N.D. (Aug. 25, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports posted a trio of podium performances last week, giving driver David Gravel 31 podiums during 57 starts this season.
It began on Tuesday at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., where Gravel kicked off his debut by setting a new track record during qualifying. He then won a heat race and placed fourth in a heat race before maneuvering from fourth to win the main event.
“We were fast throughout the night and able to gain a spot in the dash to start the feature fourth,” he said. “From there, I was able to pick our way through to second. I got the lead and was able to control the race. The track definitely changed. At the end it was starting to get slick. With being our first time there, I didn’t really know where to run on the track, but we were able to hang on to the win.”
It marked the team’s 13th victory of the season and officially the 12th with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
The team ventured to North Dakota last weekend with a visit to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks on Friday. Gravel was quickest in his qualifying group and he won a heat race. He again gained a position to place third in a heat race before posting a runner-up result in the main event.
“I felt good all night,” he said. “We qualified well, heat raced well and dashed well. I felt the track had a lot of grip in spots. We were a little too tight in traffic. When Sheldon (Haudenschild) went into the infield we got second back, but we were too tight to rotate the bottom and contend for the win. Overall, it was a strong night. It’s the minor details that helps you win or lose races.”
The weekend wrapped up on Saturday at Red River Valley Speedway, where Gravel timed in quickest overall. He won a heat race before moving from fifth to fourth place in the dash and from fourth to third place in the A Main.
“That’s one I felt we were really good to the middle of the feature,” he said. “In lapped traffic I made the wrong move and Carson (Macedo) got around me. I got him back and then clipped the infield tire. He just got by me at the flag stand. Going into turns one and two I passed him back and the caution came out. That eliminated me from having the chance to win. After that we had a couple of dashes to the finish. I don’t know if we could have got the job done. Carson found a lane in turns three and four that me and Sheldon weren’t running. Once he showed me that lane I couldn’t follow him and do the same thing.”
Gravel leads the World of Outlaws championship standings by 172 points heading into the L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout presented by Ace Ready Mix and Myrl & Roy’s Paving this Saturday and Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.

Tough Gold Cup Showing for Andy Forsberg
PETERSEN MEDIA: Taking part in the 71st Gold Cup Race of Champions in Chico, CA, Andy Forsberg didn’t have his best showing, and the veteran driver has already turned his attention this weekend’s event in Calistoga, CA.
“It was a tough Gold Cup each night we were in action,” Andy Forsberg said. “Wednesday night we had a great heat but just couldn’t get going in a non stop feature. Thursday night, I did a really bad job and put us in a deep hole for Saturday, and Saturday we just couldn’t dig out and make the show. My team worked way too hard to have a showing like that and I am ultimately a little irritated with myself.”
Kicking the busy weekend off on Wednesday night in 360ci action, Forsberg timed the PHR/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 entry in 15th fastest with 40 cars in the pit area.
Lining up eighth in his heat race, Forsberg had some things go his way on the opening lap and he was able to power his way into fourth in just one lap. Hanging on to finish fourth, the Auburn, CA driver locked into the ‘A’, where he took the green flag from the 15th starting position.
In a feature event that went non-stop, Forsberg just couldn’t get anything going as he struggled to make speed on the fast surface. Maintaining 15th for all 30-laps, he capped the night off with a 15th place finish.
Returning to High Limit Racing action on Thursday night for his qualifying run at the Gold Cup Race of Champions, Forsberg timed in 16th quickest in time trials, before a sixth place run in his heat race put him in the night’s ‘B’ Main.
Lining up third in the semi, Forsberg held on to a transfer spot as his fourth place finish locked him into the opening night 30-lap feature event. From the 24th starting position, Forsberg finished 20th which then put him in the fourth row of a Saturday night qualifier.
Heading into Saturday night’s Gold Cup Race of Champions finale looking got make a run and race into the feature, Forsberg’s night got off to a pretty good start as he was able to race from eighth to fifth in his qualifier and put himself in a decent spot in the ‘B’ for once final shot to lock in.
Taking the green from the eighth starting position in the 15-lap semi, Forsberg raced into seventh by the halfway point. With the track getting bottom dominant, Forsberg looked to make the high-side work as he needed a few more positions to earn his way into the ‘A’.
Getting up top, it just was too far around at that point and Forsberg dropped a few positions. In the end, he capped his Gold Cup off with a 13th place finish in the ‘B’.
“We had a great car on Saturday and we had really good speed, but my performance on Thursday night was just too much for us to overcome,” Forsberg said. “Gold Cup is one of those races that I really good at, or really bad at and this year was one of those really bad years.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-38, Wins-8, Top 5’s-21, Top 10’s-25
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will be in action this Saturday and Sunday at Calistoga Speedway for the return of the Louie Vermeil Classic. While Forsberg will compete in NARC action, the team will have Geoff Ensign compete in USAC compeititon.

Tony Gomes Earns 360ci Bonus at Gold Cup Race of Champions
PETERSEN MEDIA- A last minute decision for Tony Gomes and the C&M Motorsports saw them enter the Gold Cup Race of Champions with their 360ci powerplant. Though taking on the highly touted High Limit Racing Series, Gomes proved to be up to the challenge and was rewarded in the end by earning the 360ci bonus as the highest finishing car using a 360ci engine in the event.
“It was a last-minute decision to run, and we went in with the mindset of winning the 360ci bonus and logging laps against some really good competition, and in the end we did just that,” Tony Gomes said. “Super thankful that Cody and Mandi believe in me enough to compete in such a prestigious race.”
Hitting the track on Friday night Gomes timed in 19th fastest in qualifying time trials and that put him on the front row of his heat race. When the action kicked off Gomes slipped back in the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7C entry but still held on to a transfer spot as he locked into the preliminary night feature event.
Gridding the field from the 18th starting position, Gomes held his own in the 30-lap finale and was even able to pick up a few positions along the way using the smaller power plant.
Working his way into the Top-15, Gomes capped the night off with a 14th place finish and that put him in the third row of a Saturday night qualifier. Finishing sixth in his qualifier, Gomes was locked into the fifth row of the ‘B’ Main as he lined up against some stout competition as everyone chased after the final 4 transfer spots into the Gold Cup feature event.
Though locked into the fifth row, Gomes and company made the decision to drop to the back of the field at the start of the race. Making business decision to keep their car in one piece as they are in the thick of a Track Championship battle, Gomes and company made a handful of laps before calling it a weekend.
“I felt really good despite having the 360 in, but it just made sense for us to do what we did after talking it over,” Gomes said. “Thanks to everyone for all of their help this weekend, and hopefully I can get back to Gold Cup with a 410ci under the hood.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports return to action in two weeks as they hit Placerville Speedway for the track’s regular season finale on September 13th.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-20, Wins-3, Top 5’s-10, Top 10’s-13

Tanner Carrick 5th at Gold Cup Race of Champions
PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending his weekend in Chico, CA, Tanner Carrick had a very stout Gold Cup Race of Champions as he ran 10th in the 360ci race on Wednesday night, 8th on his Thursday preliminary night, and then 5th in Saturday night’s finale.
“Overall, it was a pretty good week of racing for us,” Tanner Carrick said. “We were in the Top-10 each night, and to run fifth in the Gold Cup finale is really special.”
The curtain raised on the 71st Annual Gold Cup Race of Champions on Wednesday night for the annual 360ci opener. Timing in third fastest in his qualifying flight, Carrick lined up on the pole of his heat race.
An interesting start saw Carrick back in third by the time the field reached the flag stand. Up to speed, Carrick settled into third which kept him well inside a feature event transfer spot, but did put him 11th on the starting grid for the 30-lap finale.
When the feature event green, Carrick moved into 10th, where he settled in as the race ripped off laps in rapid fire fashion. The fast surface saw all 30-laps complete with no stoppages and the race in its entirety was ran in just nine minutes.
Dropping his 410ci powerplant in on Thursday night for his qualifying run with High Limit Racing, Carrick got the night underway by timing the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T in 12th fastest in time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Lincoln, CA driver got a nice jump when the green flag was displayed as he moved into third.
Holding on to a third-place finish, Carrick was locked into the feature event where he lined up 11th based on his event points.
Slipping back to 12th on the opening two laps, Carrick worked his way back into ninth on the third lap, and was into eighth on the 12th circuit and briefly made an appearance in the Top-5.
Officially in fifth at the halfway point, a hotly contested battle saw Carrick slip back to sixth a lap later. A late run saw a slight bobble lead to Carrick falling back to eighth where he went on to finish out his prelim night run.
Finding himself on the front row of his qualifier on Saturday night, Carrick simply needed to finish inside the Top-Three to transfer into the Gold Cup feature event.
Getting a great jump when the field was brought to life, Carrick grabbed the lead and never looked back. Powering to the win, Carrick was locked into the 40-lap finale as he lined up in the 12th starting position.
On the slick surface, Carrick settled into 12th for the first five laps before an early red flag bunched the field back up.
Slipping back to 13th when the action resumed, Carrick quickly jumped into 12th and then made his way into 10th on the 11th lap.
The extremely slick surface started to take rubber and Carrick was able to move into eighth on the 13th lap. As the rubber conditions worsened the pace of the race continued to slow way down. Keeping his tire under him, Carrick worked into seventh with just five laps left in the race, and then moved into fifth on the 36th lap where he went on to finish.
“Really just proud of everyone for their effort,” Tanner Carrick said. “The Saturday feature didn’t have the surface that anyone wanted, but we put ourselves in the right spot and I am very happy to cap the weekend off with a Top-5.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 41, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 17, Top 10’s: 27

Estenson Records Fifth-Place Finish During First Race of the Season
Inside Line Promotions – NORFOLK, Neb. (Aug. 25, 2025) – Tim Estenson produced a top-five result during his first sprint car start of the season.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver, who has been serving as a crew member on the team this year, capitalized on a rare night when the team pulled out two race cars last Saturday at Off Road Speedway during a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars show.
“Honestly, I went out for hot laps and once I got on the gas I felt really good,” he said. “I thought, ‘Now that’s over so let’s see about getting bunched up with guys around you.’ I was alright in the heat. I started behind Jack (Dover) and was still knocking off the rust. I spun the tires and didn’t capitalize on the start. Everybody got in line and I ended up finishing where I started. I felt pretty comfortable toward the end of the heat race though.”
Estenson finished fourth in the heat race. He lined up on the outside of the fourth row for the main event.
“We dropped back a little bit early and it got singled out,” he said. “We had a caution and I was able to pick off some positions to climb up to fifth. The track rubbered up halfway through the race. At that point we were in line and you weren’t going to pass unless somebody messed up in front of you.”
Estenson ended with a fifth-place finish.
“The goal was to shake it down and see how fast or competitive we’d be,” he said. “I thought it went well. If the track didn’t rubber up I think we could have picked off more, but I’ll take what we got. Overall, we had some fun and moved forward.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 23 – Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb. – Heat race: 4 (4); Feature: 5 (8).

Kaleb Johnson Rebounds From Crash to Earn Top 10 at Huset’s Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 25, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson’s title defense at Huset’s Speedway took a tumble on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway.
The Team DGRD driver had set quick time during his group and advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race to move into the feature redraw. Johnson pulled the No. 5 to line up fifth and he was running sixth on Lap 9 when another driver in front of him got sideways on the cushion in turn three.
“I thought we qualified pretty good,” he said. “I didn’t feel too great, but rebounded well in the heat race. I was pretty confident going into the feature. The first few laps we were getting things sorted and I felt better as the laps went on.
“I tried to avoid a spinning car and it bit me. I tipped over. At first the Jacob’s Ladder was out of it so I knew I couldn’t go to the top with how thick the curb was. I was a little worried at first. Another red came out and we got back in there and fixed what we needed to.”
Johnson returned to the track in 19th and gained a trio of positions before another red flag just after the midpoint of the 25-lap feature. Johnson restarted 20th after another pit stop and rallied for a 10th-place result. It marked his first time of not finishing in the top five during a points race at Huset’s Speedway this season.
“It could have been a lot worse,” he said. “We had a lot of help in the work area that got us back out there and that gave us a car capable of driving through the field. Thanks to everyone who helped us.”
Johnson competed with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink the previous two nights in North Dakota.
On Friday, Johnson was seventh quickest in his group at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks. A fifth-place finish in a heat race advanced him into the main event.
“We qualified pretty good, but I didn’t get the start I needed in the heat race and fell back a spot,” he said. “I felt good in the feature. I got by (Logan) Schuchart, who ended up with a top five. I felt better as the race was going on. I went to the top and biked it up. As I gathered the car I felt my left rear off the ground and the next thing I knew I was upside down.”
Johnson was running 16th when the early crash occurred, resulting in a DNF.
The team then ventured to Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo on Saturday for the first time in Johnson’s racing career. He timed in ninth quickest overall before placing sixth in a heat race and 19th in the A Main.
“It was a good feeling to not wreck,” he joked. “It’s been a rough month of August, but that’s how racing goes sometimes. We had good speed when the track had moisture. We tried a few things and it didn’t work when the track slicked off. We weren’t stuck into the track.”
Johnson will return to Huset’s Speedway this Friday for a tripleheader, beginning on Friday with the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking – the final points race of the season at the track. Johnson enters with a 12-point lead in the track’s championship standings. The L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout presented by Ace Ready Mix and Myrl & Roy’s Paving featuring the World of Outlaws follows on Saturday and Sunday.

Dominic Scelzi Charges to Back-to-Back Top 10s During Gold Cup Race of Champions
Inside Line Promotions – CHICO, Calif. (Aug. 25, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi posted his career-best Kubota High Limit Racing result twice last weekend with a pair of eighth-place finishes during the Mike Curb Gold Cup Race of Champions presented by NOS Energy Drink at Silver Dollar Speedway.
Scelzi was the Hard Charger by passing the most cars on Friday, when he advanced from 22nd to eighth. He gained the second-most positions during Saturday’s finale, hustling from 18th to eighth.
“It was a good weekend,” he said. “We changed everything but the driver’s seat. I felt like there were improvements. I have a good idea where we need to go as a team. Our goal was for the car to be completely different and to make it better and it was. That was exciting for me. It gave me some confidence back knowing when we changed some stuff we could drive forward through the field. We had two good runs and I think that was my best High Limit performance to date.”
Scelzi opened his preliminary night on Friday by qualifying 14th quickest overall. A sixth-place result in a heat race relegated him to the B Main. Scelzi placed second in the B Main to earn a transfer into the back of the main event.
“We kept working at it,” he said. “Every time we’d come in we’d change something to try to make ourselves better. In the feature, we got to sixth with a couple of laps to go. I made the decision I wanted to be fifth and I tried to rip the top. I hung off turn two and got passed by a couple of guys, but all in all it was a good performance.”
Scelzi placed third in a qualifier on Saturday to lock into the main event.
“The qualifiers were hard to pass in so we got in line and ran third, which got us into the feature,” he said. “I knew if things went right we could move forward. Unfortunately, the track laid rubber early. I tried to be smart and not burn my tires off. We thankfully made it all 40 laps and moved forward for our second straight eighth-place result.”
Scelzi will join High Limit Racing this Thursday through Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., during the Skagit Nationals presented by 26 Promotions.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 22 – Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif. – Qualifying: 14; Heat race: 6 (3); B Main: 2 (3); Feature: 8 (22).

Starks Sweeps 410 Program at Skagit Speedway During Final Competition Before Skagit Nationals Presented by 26 Promotions
Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (Aug. 25, 2025) – Trey Starks made the most of a final tune-up at Skagit Speedway prior to this week’s Skagit Nationals presented by 26 Promotions.
Starks swept the non-points 410ci winged sprint car program at Skagit Speedway and he finished second in the 360ci winged sprint car main event to all but wrap up his second straight track championship in the division.
“We got the laps we were looking for,” he said. “It was crucial in the 410. During qualifying we had a nose wing post break that resulted in the nose wing falling down halfway through our qualifying run. Just that right there made it all worth it because we got to iron out some kinks.
“We set quick time during qualifying. Then we started on the pole of the heat race and won that. Then we started on the pole of the feature and won that. We felt good all night. We got to get a handle on the car after not being in it for awhile and we got to feel out the track. To be able to win it was kind of a bonus.”
Starks also set quick time to open up the action in the 360 division.
“We drew the last pill so going out last and being able to go quick time felt good,” he said. “We went from fourth to third in the heat race and got some good laps for the feature. We drew the No. 3, which put us starting third in the feature. We fell to fourth on the start and got into third about 10 laps in. We challenged for second for a couple of laps around the midway point. Ultimately, we got into second when Cam (Smith) had an issue late in the race. At the end of the day, (Jason) Solwold was slightly better than us. We have some things to work on in the 360 car. It was good laps for sure and gave us some insight for the 410 car. With the 360 races being before the 410s all night it got to help us in the 410.”
Starks currently holds a 76-point lead in the championship standings with one points race remaining. He simply needs to just attempt to compete in that race to garner the title.
First up, the track welcomes Kubota High Limit Racing this Thursday through Saturday for a crown jewel event.
“I think we’re the same as we have been all year,” Starks said. “Going into the big shows we know there will be elite competition and we have to do everything right. At the end of the day, if we do everything right we’ll be in the mix. We’ll have to be really good to compete with them between the High Limit guys and the Skagit guys. I think it’ll be a pretty good fight and we’re hoping to be up there in the mix.”
Starks will wrap up the weekend with a race on Sunday at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 23 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. (410 sprint car) – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 1 (1); Feature: 1 (1).

Jackson, Scott Hess Racing Add Two More Wins; Season
Total Climbs to 12
Mechanicsburg, PA – August 25, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing continued their remarkable 2025 campaign with a pair of victories over a grueling double-dose, double-duty weekend. Competing in four events across two nights, the team collected two more checkered flags, pushing their season total to an impressive 12 wins.
Friday Night at Williams Grove Speedway
The weekend began under the lights of Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, where 21-winged sportsman cars filled the pit area. Following timed hot laps, Jackson lined up fourth for the main event.
From the drop of the green flag, Jackson charged from fourth to second on the opening lap. Just three laps later, he executed a bold move around the outside to seize the lead. From there, it was smooth sailing as Jackson stretched his advantage and claimed victory in dominant fashion.
In wingless competition later that evening, Jackson delivered another thrilling performance. Swapping the lead several times in a hard-fought battle, he came up just short at the finish line, settling for a strong runner-up effort.
“We won the winged race from fourth, but I really had to change my driving as I lost brakes around lap 11. So, it was nice to hang on. In the wingless show, we missed it a little on set up, so to finish second was almost a relief. But overall, it was a good start to the weekend, and I felt like we had a car capable of winning both shows.”
Saturday at Path Valley Raceway
On Saturday, the team traveled to Path Valley Raceway for another night of double duty. Jackson once again showed his versatility, winning his wingless heat race before lining up eighth in the A-main. With calculated precision, he worked his way through the field and surged to the front, capturing his twelfth victory of the season.
In the winged sportsman division, Jackson started fourth and raced to the front of the field and victory looked like a given. However, as the laps winded down and lapped traffic became an issue, Jackson got turned around with two laps to go but kept going. With the blend rule in effect, Jackson lined up fifth for the final two circuits, which is where he finished.
“It took some time for us to get to the lead, and we were running away with the win in the winged show, but I got turned around in lapped traffic with two to go and it cost us. When it comes to the wingless show, the car was just so good that I could really run anywhere on the track. A lot of that is credit to the track and the surface they gave us, and I’d say that might have been the best I’ve seen all year long at Path Valley.”
Looking Ahead
Next on the schedule for Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing is one of the most prestigious events of the year: the Sportsman 100 at BAPS Motor Speedway. Jackson, a previous winner of the coveted race, will look to capture the crown jewel for the second time in his career. They’ll also compete on Sunday in winged sportsman competition at Selinsgrove Speedway.
With momentum from another successful weekend, the team is confident heading into one of the season’s biggest stages.
“We pulled out a motor that we’ve been saving for the 100 at
the Grove and it was fast, but we’re going to stick with the one we’ve been
running most the year. We easily could have won all four races this past
weekend, so I feel super confident heading into the 100 lapper about our
speed and program. This is a race where, a lot of the time, the fastest car
doesn’t win it. You’ve got to kind of play the game and there’s some
strategy to it. And I’ve always said you kind of must lose one before you
can figure out how to win one. I felt like I let one get away a few years
ago and then we turned around and won it the next year. I’d love to get
another one here before we hang it up and I’m excited about our chances.
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

AND ANOTHER ONE: Danny Dietrich leads them all for Jack Gunn Memorial
triumph; Major Labor Day slate begins Wednesday at BAPS
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 25, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 25, 2025) – Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing scored their 11th victory of 2025 during the recent weekend, doing so in Williams Grove Speedway’s annual Jack Gunn Memorial on Friday, August 22. The win, an $8,000 payday for the Gettysburg native, was accomplished in wire-to-wire fashion, leading every lap of the 30 lap affair with the final 20 going nonstop. The Jack Gunn Memorial victory was a third-ever for “Double-D” with his most recent occurring in 2022.
Although a great start to the weekend, Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, was forced to retire early in Lincoln Speedway’s annual Kramer Klash on Saturday, August 23. An incident during Dietrich’s heat race – contact after spinning to avoid an accident in front of him – bent his frame forcing him to park the “48” for the evening. Double-D will work for Lincoln redemption this Saturday and Sunday in the Labor Day Duel.
“A great start to the weekend…I wanted something similar on Saturday, but that’s not how it went,” Dietrich said. “Can’t say enough about this team. We’ve been busy, but at least we’re close to home-busy. We have a lot to be ready for this weekend. Hoping to get a few more wins for Gary [Kauffman].”
ON DECK:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2025 campaign
with a major slate over Labor Day weekend beginning Wednesday, August 27, at

Doney-Lawson Racing enters Knoxville’s season finale;
Labor Day POWRi slate includes 34 Raceway plus Lake Ozark doubleheader
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 25, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (August 25, 2025) – The Sprint Car Capital of the World can be a tough place to navigate, especially for a not-so frequent flier, but for Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR), and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, there’s no better way to learn than make the trip and compete, revisiting the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, for their season finale on Saturday, August 23.
DLR, backed by Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, and Stanton Racing Engines, entered two cars in the Raceway’s season-ending program; Xavier Doney, a recent POWRi winner in Missouri, and his younger sister Natalie Doney, who is chasing POWRi Rookie of the Year honors in 2025. In fact, it was Natalie’s first-ever Knoxville Raceway attempt, concluding competition in the evening’s B-Main.
Xavier Doney, who is battling for a POWRi championship, concluded his Knoxville Raceway outing 15th, finishing fourth in his respective heat race to qualify. Although short of attaining the ultimate goal, the laps wheeled will prove vital, not only at Knoxville Raceway, but in the short term, ready to shift his momentum back to POWRi beginning Friday, August 29.

Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing will resume their 2025

STILL DANCIN’: Justin Sanders scores Gold Cup prelim victory before runner-up in Gold Cup finale; Douglas County and Skagit ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer August 25, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 25, 2025) – Justin Sanders’ “Super Sub” campaign with Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) has been borderline remarkable, not only conquering action in a recent High Limit Racing start at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, California, but continuing on with a Gold Cup Race of Champions preliminary triumph at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California, on Friday, August 22. Sanders, a California native himself, started seventh on the preliminary lineup, kicking things off with the second-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish fourth in his respective heat race. As expressed, the victory was Sanders’ second with RSR, helping the team bump their overall win count to nine on the season – one of which a $100,000 score at Port Royal Speedway.
Although just short of matching his preliminary outcome, Sanders, the current ace of Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, raced on to finish second in the $100,071-to-win Gold Cup Race of Champions finale on Saturday, August 23, actually leading laps 5-22 before surrendering the top spot to eventual winner Corey Day. Sanders started from the outside-pole position, “locking in” via Friday’s preliminary performance.
Despite missing the $100+ payday by one position, Sanders’ runner-up achievement allowed RSR to collect a cool $25,000. Justin Sanders will continue his RSR tenure through Skagit Speedway’s upcoming Skagit Nationals.
“We’re extremely proud of what Justin [Sanders] has been able to achieve. We were confident heading to the West Coast considering his accolades, but he’s been able to surpass all expectations and we’re elated. He’s molded with Aaron [Reutzel] and the team so well,” Brian Ridge expressed. “We’re going to have Justin in the car through Skagit. At that time, Aaron should be ready to go…just in time for our return to Port Royal Speedway.”
ON DECK: Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) and Justin Sanders will continue their 2025 campaign with High Limit Racing starts at Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon, on Monday, August 25, followed by three straight nights of Skagit Nationals action at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Washington, on Thursday through Saturday, August 28-30.

Andrews fourth in Attica start; Two-day All Star invasion
ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 25, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (August 25, 2025) – Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing made the most of their weekend visit to Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, and although the Sandusky native was just short of attaining victory, he did the next best thing and concluded competition with a top-five outcome, capping the evening fourth after starting second on the grid. In fact, Andrews, a recent winner at the Attica bullring and a former track champion, led a small portion of Friday’s contest, taking command early before surrendering the lead on lap 11. The victory would have been Andrews’ second of the season – his first occurring in late March.
Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, Burdue Insurance, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprint car, will work for Attica redemption over Labor Day weekend, joining the All Star Circuit of Champions for an Attica Ambush doubleheader on Friday and Saturday, August 29-30.
“We felt good at Attica…we’ll work to do that again this weekend,” Andrews was quick to note. “We’ve been digging hard for another win since getting our first early in the year. It’s tough. There is a lot of talent racing in our area every weekend, so you can’t make mistakes. We’ll work to get an All Star win this weekend.”

CRSA CLOSES OUT AUGUST WITH RETURN TO BREWERTON
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – August 20, 2025
The hype for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints continues to grow.
CRSA prepares to return to Brewerton Speedway Friday for round five of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
All eyes continue to look on Dillon Paddock and Zach Sobotka, the two vying for their first title, with three points-paying races left before the series goes into three-showup-point events.
This is the second time the series has visited “The D-Shaped Dirt Demon.” Last year, Jeff Trombley scored his 14th career victory, then a record-tying win in the all-time wins list.
Here’s a look at the stories for Friday.
Last Time Out: CRSA made its return to Albany-Saratoga Speedway for an I-90 Pit Stop Challenge event.
The race was a tale of two halves for different drivers in the top two spots. Billy VanInwegen and Chad Miller were the dominant two.
Following a yellow at the halfway mark, Zach Sobotka had a chance to crack the top two and looked like we would have a new points leader, but not until Dillon Paddock had other plans.
Restarting eighth with 12 to go, Paddock went around the top where nobody else went to move up to second. Immediately after, threaded the needle on VanInwegen and Sobotka to go three wide and take the lead.
Sobotka would look inside with a couple of slide jobs, but in the end, Paddock would score win three of the year.
“I went to the top one time and drove through and went off the backstretch,” said Paddock. “If I ripped the top, where no one could enter as high as I could. Drove it as hard as I could. That was win or lose and had to get back into it.”
Sobotka was second while Jeff Trombley finished third.
With the win, Paddock continues his streak of seven straight podiums.
Mano y Mano: Paddock and Sobotka have each won the last two races, giving them three wins apiece. With Paddock besting Sobotka, “The Show Stopper” extended his lead to a slim four points on the No. 38 with three races of full points shows remaining.
Going into Brewerton, based on experience, the advantage is on Sobotka's end. Formerly a track champion in the Sportsman division, Sobotka ran a PJC Motorsports sprint car last year and finished third, his first podium in CRSA competition. A win could increase the possibility of regaining the points lead.
Paddock ran Brewerton last year and climbed 14 spots from 24th after running in the B-Main to finish 10th, receiving the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger award that night.
Rest of Standings: Despite a spin last week in Malta, Jordan Hutton remains third, 148 points back.
Even with a 16th-place finish last week, Dalton Herrick is fourth in points, 174 back.
Timmy Lotz and Scott Landers are tied for fifth in points, 193 points behind.
Alysha Bay is seventh, 20 points ahead of Spencer Burley, 1881 to 1861.
The rest of the top 12 have Darryl Ruggles in ninth, 293 points behind Paddock, Vince Chicklets in 10th, 372 back, Bailey Boyd in 11th, 404 points behind the leader and Steve Glover in 12th, 494 points behind.
I-90 Pit Stop Challenge: Just like in the overall race, the top two in the standings have pulled away from the rest of the field in the I-90 Challenge. Only this time, Zach Sobotka is out in front.
Sobotka has a 10-point advantage on Paddock with two wins on the season at Utica-Rome and Fulton. Should anyone in the top two have issues during the feature, this could allow Dalton Herrick, Scott Landers and Alysha Bay, who are in a tight battle for third, to pounce.
NY 305 Nationals News: Registration is open for the New York 305 Nationals presented by Dandy.
Registration costs $100. Those who enter by Aug. 31 will receive a complimentary two-day pit pass.
The Nationals consists of a two-night format where the first night includes a pair of twin 20-lap features in which winners are locked into the show. The second night features time trials to set the heat lineups, dash for the front spots, and a 30-lap feature in which the winner gets $4000 to win in a nearly $18000 purse.
In addition, the New York State Stock Car Association has stepped up to award an extra $50 to each of the highest finishing NYSSCA members in each race Friday night, then offer $100, $75 and $50 to the two highest finishing members and a wild card member in Saturday night's feature. Representatives will be there both nights for anyone looking to become a member.
Loyalty Giveaways: Our fourth giveaway of the season is Friday. Drivers who entered the races at Weedsport and the race at Fulton will be eligible to win the Triple X chassis. The package has an estimated value of $4500. 21 drivers are eligible for the chassis giveaway.
It is one of five giveaways we are awarding this season. The drawing will be done remotely via wheel spin on an app..
Spencer Burley won the first giveaway, a Sweet Manufacturing steering package. Darryl Ruggles won the second giveaway, a Saldana and Kinsler fuel system. Dillon Paddock won the third giveaway, an FK Shock and Smith Ti brake kit. They will be ineligible to win giveaways the rest of the year.
By the Numbers: Last year's car count saw 34 sprint cars check in, but in the end, it was the No. 3A of Jeff Trombley that ended on top. A majority of the drivers who finished in the top five spots had experience at the track in the past.
From the Frontman: “We’re coming off some exciting races for CRSA, especially the last race at Albany-Saratoga. Brewerton has had some great shows the last few weeks and is hoping for another good one. Looking forward to bringing our field of 305 Sprints back!”
Up Next: CRSA takes Labor Day weekend off but returns Sept. 5 and 6 at Ransomville and Weedsport to see which of the top two will get a huge advantage in points. Sept. 5 will be seen on Dirt Track Digest TV, while Weedsport will be live on DIRTVision.

Jackson Scores 10th Victory of the Season with Dominant
Wingless Win at BAPS Motor Speedway
York Haven, PA – August 20, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Scott Hess Racing and driver Tony Jackson continued their standout 2025 campaign this past weekend, adding another win to the tally with a commanding performance in wingless competition at BAPS Motor Speedway. The victory marked Jackson’s 10th of the season, further solidifying his reputation as a serious contender every time he hits the track.
Jackson’s night started strong as he powered from third to win his heat race, earning a seventh-place starting position for the A-Main. Once the green flag dropped, the No. 88 machine was on a mission. With a fast car underneath him, Jackson wasted no time charging to the front, taking the lead on lap five. From there, he never looked back, stretching his advantage to an impressive 6.9-second margin of victory at the checkered flag.
“Scott wasn’t with us as he was in Texas for work, so this just goes to show just how good of a team we have,” said Jackson. “He was on the phone with us throughout the night, kind of helping from afar, but it made it more special to know we can just kind of unload and be fast like that, no matter.”
The team now turns its attention to a busy upcoming weekend of double-duty action. On Friday, Jackson will compete in both winged and wingless sportsman divisions at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, followed by another twin-bill Saturday night at Path Valley Speedway Park.
With the prestigious Sportsman 100 looming next weekend, Jackson views this stretch of races as an important opportunity to both fine-tune their winged program and continue building momentum.
“We’ve saved a motor for the 100 that we’re going to bring out for the Grove, so this will be a good way to see where we stack up,” he said. “We’ve really kind of veered away from the winged program this year, so this is a perfect opportunity to get dialed in and hopefully end this year on a good note.”
Fans can follow along with updates, photos, and
behind-the-scenes coverage of Jackson and Scott Hess Racing on the team’s
official social media channels.
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

Covington Prepares for Montana After a Pair of Top-5s
Matt Covington Racing – Glenpool, OK. (Aug. 20, 2025) – After a busy week in Knoxville, Matt Covington and the ASCS National Tour shifted their focus back to the road this past weekend. Covington collected a pair of solid finishes, scoring 5th at WaKeeney Speedway on Friday and 4th at El Paso County Raceway in Colorado on Saturday.
“Not sure what to really say about last weekend,” Covington admitted. “It was a unique couple of nights to say the least. We had speed at different times, but a few circumstances made things more challenging than we would’ve liked. Friday, we found a bleeder issue after the heat race that hurt us early. By then, we were already starting deep in the feature, but we were able to charge back to 5th and just ran out of laps to gain more."
“Saturday was better, but unfortunately, we drew the six pill for the dash, which made it tough to start toward the front. The feature was a battle, and with quality cars ahead of us, it was dog fight gaining each spot and ended up 4th. We’re still hunting for that little extra to consistently compete with Sam night in and night out. The positive is that it’s pushing all of us on the Tour to elevate our game. We’ll just keep plugging away and working hard. Steven has the car ready, and hopefully we can break through this weekend in Montana, where we’ve had success in the past.”
Covington and the ASCS National Tour now head to Billings, Montana, for a two-night stop at Big Sky Speedway this Friday and Saturday.

HUGE LABOR DAY WEEKEND UP NEXT FOR MUST SEE RACING
August 20, 2025 – Holly, Michigan - Must See Racing is preparing for a huge double weekend featuring both the Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com and the Midwest Lights Series August 30-31, 2025, at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan.
This will be the final visit of the “World’s Fastest Short Track Cars” to Owosso Speedway in 2025. The final appearance of these crowd pleasers will be a huge one. The 410 National Series will be competing for a purse of over $41,000 for the two days. The winner of Saturday night’s 40-lap feature event will take home a whopping $10,000 for the win.
The last appearance by the series on June 21, 2025, was one for the record books. Eventual winner Bobby Santos III and Kody Swanson waged a torrid battle in the closing stages of the race. The duo worked lapped traffic with jaw dropping moves. The two veterans raced to the checkered flag in a near photo finish ending.
The Labor Day Weekend events figure to feature much the same racing. Owosso Speedway has played host to some of the best pavement sprint car racing found anywhere in the country annually. The track is perfect for winged sprint cars.
Canadian Ryan Litt headlines a hungry group of racers looking to take home $10,000 on Saturday night. Litt enters the Owosso event on a hot streak. He has won his last two MSR starts.
Defending MSR champion and current points leader Joe Liguori continues to build a sizeable points lead over his competition. Liguori will look to pad his points lead even more and pick up his first MSR victory of 2025.
The “Asphalt Assassin” Aaron Willison will also be competing. The Western Canadian driver quickly found a liking to Owosso Speedway and swept both events at the 3/8 high banked track last season.
Other top drivers are expected in search of a big payday including Jason Blonde, Bobby Komisarski, Jimmy McCune, Kevin Mingus, Alby Ovit, Dorman Snyder, Charlie Schultz, and Kody Swanson among others.
The weekend’s action will also see an historical event take place. Jimbo McCune will make his MSR debut. The younger McCune is the son of five-time MSR champion Jimmy McCune. He is also the Great grandson of the legendary IMCA sprint car driver “Irish” Jim McCune who was a terror at Midwestern IMCA events in the 1960’s. The youngest McCune is part of four generations of McCune’s who have hopped behind the wheel of a race car.
The MSR Midwest Lights Series will also be in action both
nights. Current points leader JJ Henes continues to hold the points lead. He
will be looking to build on his points lead as the season will be down to
one final race after Labor Day Weekend.

Ross Reflects on Weekend Challenges, Car Choices, and a
Busy Home Stretch in 2025
Abbottstown, PA – August 20, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross has had good speed over the past month, and it has shown in his results. This past weekend, he had to work a little harder at the end of the night to offset some early challenges.
BATTLING BACK
Friday night at Williams Grove, Ross put the blame on himself for a poor time trial result.
“I had a good car, but I made mistakes during qualifying that put us behind, then I didn’t get a good start in the heat, so that cost us too,” Ross shared.
Ross was able to put that behind him and make the most of the night, passing eight cars in the 25-lap main event to bring home a 13th-place finish in the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5.
Saturday night, Ross headed to Lincoln Speedway, where he was coming off a heat race win and a top-five feature finish in his last outing, not to mention a runner-up finish the week before that.
The night didn’t get off to the start he was hoping for. An incident with three laps to go in his heat race stalled any momentum Ross had going, relegating him to a 6th place finish and ultimately an 18th place starting spot deep in the A-main field.
For the second night in a row, Ross did everything he could to battle back and make the most of the night for his team. He picked off 6 cars to finish 12th at the end of 30 laps.
DECISIONS
Ross has unloaded two different cars throughout the season, one black and one white. Fans may be wondering why the Lincoln University, PA-based team has been switching.
While the black car has been in the team’s arsenal all season, the white car first hit the track just over a month ago. The white car was new from top to bottom, including the engine, when it debuted.
“We’re switching mainly due to motor combinations. The black car has just been really good at Lincoln, so we’re just going to continue to run that there. We’re still fighting little gremlins with the new (white) car, but we’re working at it to get it as comfortable as the black car,” Ross explained.
STRETCH RUN
As is the case every year in Central Pennsylvania, there are a lot of big races coming up as the season enters its final months. Thus far, Ross has raced the majority of his laps at Lincoln Speedway, also dabbling at Williams Grove and BAPS Motor Speedways.
“We’re probably going to hit Lincoln the rest of the year because they will mostly, if not all, be time trial shows. We will also run all of the BAPS (Motor Speedway) races for sure,” Ross said.
“We’re going to continue to get to the (Williams) Grove when we can and possibly run the National Open. We will make that decision closer to that time. We plan to run the High Limit Racing shows at Bridgeport Motorsports Park (NJ) and Path Valley Speedway (PA), as well as the World of Outlaw show at New Egypt Speedway (NJ). Obviously, things can change, but that’s what we’re thinking at the moment.”

Dover Looking to Rebound Following Frustrating Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Jack Dover is eager to put last weekend behind him following a pair of rare DNFs.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor qualified seventh quickest and quickly took the lead in a heat race before disaster ended his night early on Friday during a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League show at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan.
“It spit the driveshaft out in the heat race,” he said. “When it did that it twisted the motor pretty hard so we called it a night to be safe. Fortunately, when we checked it out at the shop everything was okay.”
The team ventured to Huset’s Speedway on Sunday and Dover opened the night by setting quick time during qualifying. He then finished fourth in a heat race to garner the 11th starting position in the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event.
“I was really excited for last night because I knew how good our car has gotten since Brian Kemenah helped us at Knoxville,” he said. “Setting quick time shows that we’re better. As a driver I could tell how much better my car is so that makes me excited for the rest of the future.”
Dover climbed to seventh before a parts failure forced him to pull off with eight laps remaining. He was credited with an 18th-place result.
“We realistically were a fifth- or sixth-place car,” he said. “I was going to be happy. There wasn’t a lot of passing so when we can move forward it’s a good night, but unfortunately we had a DNF.”
Dover continues to lead the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings heading into another series race this Saturday at Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb. The weekend concludes on Sunday with a return to Huset’s Speedway, where Dover now ranks fifth in the championship standings – only four points out of third place.
“I’m really excited for Off Road Speedway,” he said. “I’ve done well there in my career and Timmy (Estenson) gets to race so I’m pumped for that. I know the feeling when I was helping Timmy and I got to race so I’m excited to see him rip.”
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 15 – Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. – Qualifying: 7; Heat race: DNF (2); Feature: DNS (19).
Aug. 17 – Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 4 (4); Feature: 18 (11).
SEASON STATS –
35 races, 1 win, 12 top fives, 16 top 10s, 20 top 15s, 24 top 20s

True Trucking is a trucking company based in Gretna, Neb.
“True Trucking specializes in everything when it comes to hauling,” Dover said. “They can pretty much do it all. The True’s are family friends who have always been there to support me. I appreciate their partnership and look forward to reaching Victory Lane with them a lot.”
Dover would like to thank Certified Transmission, Carpet Land, Truline Logistics, Backlund Plumbing, Estenson Racing, Langfeldt Overhead Doors, True Trucking, Husker Diesel, Thorpe’s Body Shop, Phil Durst, Speedway Engines, ButlerBuilt Professional Seat Systems, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Schoenfeld Headers, Smith Titanium, K&N Filters, FK Rod Ends, DMI, Vortex Wings, Speedway Motors, Mecum Auctions, Industrial Plating and Arai Helmets for their continued support.
Starks Aiming for Continued Consistency at Skagit Speedway This Saturday
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Trey Starks is closing in on another track championship at Skagit Speedway.
Starks will return to the dirt oval in Alger, Wash., this Saturday for the penultimate 360ci winged sprint car points night with a 77-point lead in the championship standings.
“There’s not a whole lot left,” he said. “It closes up pretty quickly when you get to this time of the year.
“We’ve been pretty solid all year. Our program has been rock solid there for the past couple of years and we really haven’t changed much. I think we have considerably more laps at Skagit in a 360 so that helps as well, but our 410 program is close.”
Starks has won four features and captured seven top fives and eight top 10s in nine 360 races at Skagit Speedway this season.
“We feel good with where we are at,” he said. “We’d love some more laps in the 410 before the High Limit event the following weekend, but it is what it is. If we can have similar speed to what we did last year I think we’ll be okay.
“This weekend for us is more laps before the High Limit event. Being in a 360 we can gather some notes on the track surface, which has been ever-changing this year. Being able to get a better read on that will be important as we haven’t been on the track in a couple of weeks.”
SEASON STATS –
22 races, 7 wins, 16 top fives, 19 top 10s, 21 top 15s, 22 top 20s
UP NEXT –
Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash.

Chance Grasty Battles Mechanical Gremlins During High
Limit Weekend
PETERSEN MEDIA- Turning their attention to Kubota High Limit Racing for a couple of weeks, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team battled mechanical woes in Tulare, CA and Placerville, CA and will unfortunately miss the 410ci portion of the Gold Cup Race of Champions.
“I was really excited to get back to 410ci racing,” Chance Grasty said. “We had a pretty good night going on Friday until I lost oil pressure late, and then on Saturday something let go in the midst of another solid run with High Limit Racing. Really bummed for the team, because we will only be able to compete Wednesday night at the Gold Cup now.”
Heading to Tulare, CA on Friday night to kick off the swing with Kubota High Limit Racing, Grasty ended up timing the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed No. x1 entry in 24th quickest which put him the third row of their heat race.
Lining up sixth, the Suisun City, CA pilot was able to snatch the fifth and final transfer into the feature event late in the race, though he did line up 20th on the starting grid.
When the race came to life, Grasty began to work his way forward as he clawed his way towards the Top-10. Getting into 13th, a late restart saw the youngster drop a few positions. As he looked for a way to make up the lost track position, he began to lose oil pressure and opted to pull into the infield and call it a night.
With everything checking out during maintenance, Grasty and company were back in business on Saturday night as the scene shifted to Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA.
Getting off to a much better start on this night, Grasty timed in 10th fastest in his flight, and again ran fifth in his heat race to lock into the star-studded feature event.
Again lining up 20th in the feature, Grasty was again having a nice charge through the field. Work his way into the Top-15 by lap 17, Grasty was up into 14th at the halfway point of the race until things went south on the 21st lap and his night was over with a mechanical failure.
“It was really a tough way to end our night, and basically end our Gold Cup as well,” Grasty said. “We raced really well, and I was hoping we could keep getting the car better with two more nights, but the engine issue will only allow us to run the 360ci now. Big thanks to my guys for their hard work on what is really a tough turnaround for us CA teams.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will be back in action on Wednesday night to open the Gold Cup Race of Champions in 360ci action.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-31, Wins-3, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-20

Tanner Carrick Set for Gold Cup After 12th Place Run with High Limit in Placerville, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Tanner Carrick was in action on Saturday night with High Limit Racing as the series made their lone visit to Placerville, CA. Picking up a 12th place finish, Carrick is now set for the 71st Gold Cup Race of Champions in Chico, CA kicking off tomorrow night with the annual 360ci event.
It was a good way to start this swing with High Limit off,” Tanner Carrick said. “We qualified well, put ourselves in the Dash, but we just couldn’t quite get going forward in the feature.”
With 40 cars packed into the tight confines of Placerville Speedway, Carrick got the night kicked off by timing the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in fifth fastest in our qualifying flight which placed him on the front row of his heat race.
When the green flag flew on heat race action, Carrick smashed the throttled and powered to the early lead. Out front, the Lincoln, CA driver was able to keep the field at bay as he picked up the win and locked into the all-important Dash.
Lining up in the fourth row of the Dash, Carrick went on to finish eighth which placed him in the fourth row for the 35-lap Gold Rush Classic feature event.
As the green lights flashed, Carrick settled into eighth where he ran for the first handful of laps until he made a move into sixth on the 12th lap. In a mutli car battle for sixth-seventh-eighth for seven laps, Carrick ended up in eighth when things settled down.
Continuing to run in the Top-10 a couple of cautions near the end of the race did not play out in Carrick’s favor. First falling back to 11th, a final restart saw the Lincoln, CA driver slip back to 12th when the checkered flag flew.
“We were just a little off at the end of the race, but overall I thought we were pretty solid,” Carrick said. “Excited for a big week at Chico this weekend. Thanks to all of my guys for their hard work, and my sponsors for all of their continued support of our team.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 38, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 16, Top 10’s: 24
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports will be in action on Wednesday night in Chico, CA to open the Gold Cup in 360ci action, then will be back on action on Thursday night and Saturday night with High Limit Racing.

FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR SEPTEMBER MOBILE SPRINT CAR RETURN
August 19, 2025 - Race organizer Fred Fayard and Mobile International Speedway officials today indicated preparations continue for the second winged sprint car race of the year at Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama.
360-winged asphalt sprint cars will return to the historic Alabama half-mile High-banked speedway September 6, 2025. It will be the second time since 2019 that winged sprint cars have competed at MIS.
Tampa, Florida’s Johnny Gilbertson was victorious the last time the speedway hosted winged sprint cars this past April 26. Gilbertson held off repeated late race challenges from Dave Mader III to win the thrilling feature event.
A $2,000 winner’s share and $500 to start the event will be on the line for the September 6 return. It will be an open tire event, which should add more intrigue to the night as teams can choose the brand they prefer.
Early expected entrants include Branden Blenden, Todd Bliss, Blake Carrier, Butch David, Parker Davis, Fred Fayard, Todd Fayard, Dave Mader III, Blake Mallette, Stan Smith, Chase Wood Sr., and JR Wood among others expected.
Florida drivers JJ Dutton and Colton Bettis have already indicated they will be on hand for the event. 15-year-old Bettis currently is the winningest pavement sprint car driver in the country with 6 wins thus far in 2025.
Event organizer Fred Fayard has made no secrets of his
desire to return pavement sprint car racing to the Panhandle. It is hoped
these events could lead to a possible schedule of races among area tracks in
2026.

Skagit Speedway
ALGER, WA - After Mother Nature hampered the fun last weekend, we are racing again this Saturday, Aug. 23, at Skagit Speedway for All Phase Heating & Air Conditioning Night. The 360 Sprint Cars are back, along with the Sportsman Sprint Cars, and the CGE Garage Midgets. This will be the last points race for all three divisions before Season Championship Night.
The 360 Sprint Cars are ready to race again after being rained out last weekend and haven't raced since Aug. 2 during Breast Cancer Awareness Night. Heath notched another win that night and picked up his first Skagit Speedway 360 Sprint Car win of the year. The win didn't come easily for Heath as he had to battle with Levi Hillier to start the race. Hillier started second with Starks to his inside, and after beating Starks on the start of the race, the 26 car led the opening 11 laps.
Heath and Hillier battled until just before the halfway point when Heath was able to make the pass stick, finally, and as the caution flag flew, Heath's race lead was cemented. Heath pulled away from the field and went on to lead the rest of the way. Starks leads the 360-point battle with 994 total points. Jason Solwold is in second with 917 (-77) points, and Heath is in third with 904 (-90) points.
In nine total races this year for the 360s at Skagit Speedway, Starks, Solwold, and Heath have all finished inside the top 10 in eight of nine. Stark and Heath both have seven top fives, while Solwold has five.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars are back this weekend at Skagit Speedway after last racing on Aug. 2 during Breast Cancer Awareness Night. Steven Hendrickson notched his third win of the year after leading every lap of a time-shortened race. While Hendrickson ran away with the race, the battle heated up behind him. Jesson Jacobson and Jayden Whitney were tied for the lead in the division points and waged war with each other for position and the overall lead in the standings. Jacobson was caught in an incident at the end of the race, which forced him to go to the rear and finish 16th, ultimately hurting his overall points scored for the night. Whitney assumes the overall lead in the points battle now with 855 points, Hendrickson is in second place with 838 (-17) points, and Jacobson is in third with 835 (-20) points.
It's been over a month since the CGE Garage Midgets have raced at Skagit Speedway. They last ran July 12, during Hall of Fame night, and Shane Smith picked up his sixth career win and second of the year. Smith led all 25 laps with Alex Peck right on his back bumper; however, he was never able to get around. Smith leads the points battle with 602, Ryan Orchard sits second with 580 (-22) points, and Nick Evans is third with 547 (-55) points. Smith has yet to finish outside the top five in six total races run this year, and Orchard has four top fives but has yet to finish outside the top 10 in six races.

Besides Dandy, a special thanks to the following partners that make this a success: A-Verdi Storage Containers, PJC Business Ventures, Carquest/MSP Automotive, Lowery Family Farms and Mike Emhof Motorsports.
Friday Format: An open draw will lineup eight-lap heat races. Passing points (as explained in the rulebook) will set the starting lineup for a pair of 20-lap A-Mains. Odd-numbered positions in passing points will lineup in race one and even-numbered will lineup in race two. For example, the most passing points will start on pole for race one, whereas the second most will start on pole for race two and so on.
The winners of each of the Twin 20s will lock into the Saturday front row dash draw.

For heats, the top four in the starting lineup will invert before the green flag. Heats are 10 laps, where the top four lock into the A-Main. The winner and the fastest qualifier in the top four will go to the dash draw.
A C-Main will be 12 laps, featuring drivers 36th-50th in heat qualifying finishes, lining up based on heat finishes. The top five will transfer to the back of the B-Main.

Two lock-ins from the Friday twin 20s will also be in either by qualifying or can take 11th & 12th if no time trial. Odd pill draws will head to dash one, while even pill draws will head to dash two. Dash one sets the inside of rows one through six, while dash two sets the outside.

However, drivers that finished fifth place in heats will draw for positions one through five, sixth place in heats will draw for positions six through 10, seventh place will draw for positions 11 through 15, then the top five from C-Main will lineup heads up 16 through 20.

JONESTOWN, Pa. (August 18, 2025) – Although a mechanical hiccup forced the “Jonestown Jet” to surrender his potential top-five at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, August 15, Brock Zearfoss and Rich Eichelberger Racing recovered well, eventually concluding their weekend in Pennsylvania Posse Country with a top-five at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, August 16.
Zearfoss, a former Port Royal Speedway champion before a life of racing on the road, finished fourth at the “Speed Palace,” commencing the evening’s $20,000-to-win Living Legends Dream Race from one spot better.

“Still thinking some things over, but we may take this weekend off and refresh ourselves before Fair Week gets going at Port Royal Speedway. It’s one of the biggest weeks of the season in Central Pennsylvania and we want to be prepared,” Whittall explained. “Port Royal has been our main focus since day one and to be in the championship hunt is really exciting, as well as really rewarding. This team deserves to be where we are. We just have to maintain focus and see it through.”
ON DECK:
Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports are unsure of their coming weekend plans.
The team’s focus will continue to be Port Royal Speedway with the Fair Week

PERFECT ENDING: Xavier Doney earns POWRi triumph at Missouri State Fair to conclude Kansas/Missouri tripleheader ByTyler Altmeyer August 18, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (August 18, 2025) – It was the perfect ending to a near-perfect weekend for Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR), and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, as the young man out of Odessa, Missouri, achieved three straight top-five finishes – and a victory to boot – during POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League action across Kansas and Missouri. Doney, who is now third in the POWRi 410 championship standings, earned the aforementioned victory on Sunday, August 17, at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Missouri – his first triumph of the season and doing so from fifth on the grid.
As noted, Doney’s $5,000 Missouri State Fair triumph capped an incredible weekend effort for the 19-year-old, opening action with a fourth-place outcome at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Friday, August 15, followed by a third-place finish at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Saturday, August 16. In addition, the ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter set the fastest qualifying time at Lucas Oil.
Although shy of her brother’s achievements, 16-year-old Natalie Doney, a Rookie of the Year contender with POWRi, padded the DLR stat book with three straight feature appearances of her own, finishing 17th, 18th, and 18th, respectively, while advancing five positions on Saturday. The young lady out of Odessa has one POWRi top-ten to her credit and is currently 12th in the championship standings.
ON DECK: Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing will resume their 2025 campaign with a return visit to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, August 23. The start will be a first-ever for Natalie Doney.

Lakeside; Knoxville ahead

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (August 18, 2025) – “Fast Jack” Anderson certainly lived up to his nickname Friday night at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, powering Troy and Tammy Renfro’s TKS Motorsports to a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League top-ten. Anderson, who’s filling in for the injured Ian Madsen, finished sixth in this POWRi outcome, launching preliminary action with a heat race victory. Impressive enough, the start was Anderson’s first with TKS Motorsports, getting the call following the team’s Knoxville Nationals attempt with Brooke Tatnell at the wheel.
Although unable to match their Friday night successes, Fast Jack and TKS Motorsports made the most of their World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series start at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, on Saturday, August 16, concluding competition with a 20th-place score; they started from the same position.
“Very happy to have Jack Anderson join us at Lakeside and Jackson. He’s a talented wheelman and he showed that in his first night out with us at Lakeside,” Troy Renfro, owner of the Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Heading back to our roots this weekend with a visit to Knoxville Raceway. We’re looking forward to it.”

Andrews eyes Attica and Waynesfield in coming weekend agenda
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 18, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SANDUSKY, Ohio (August 18, 2025) – It will be another busy weekend in the Buckeye State for Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing, planning to visit Attica Raceway Park and Waynesfield Raceway Park on Friday and Saturday, August 22-23. Saturday’s start at Waynesfield, dubbed the Salute to Nickels Bros, will feature the All Star Circuit of Champions.
Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, Burdue Insurance, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprint car, will roll into Attica as a one-time winner at the northwest Ohio staple, securing victory on Friday, March 28. Unfortunately, Andrews’ most recent visit to the speedway lacked the same luster, scored 17th after starting eighth on the 30-lap grid; a wing malfunction was the culprit.
“We’re due to get our Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer wagon back up front,” Andrews said. “It’s pretty tough to believe that we’re closing in on late August. It’s been an up and down year, but we’re having fun and that’s all we can ask for. Can’t say enough about everyone involved with this race team. We have a lot of great supporters and they make having our own race team a reality.”

PRINCE OF PLACERVILLE: Justin Sanders drives Ridge & Sons Racing to High
Limit Placerville triumph
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 18, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 18, 2025) – Aromas, California’s Justin Sanders felt right at home in his recent two-race swing on the West Coast, not only capping a near-perfect weekend that concluded with back-to-back High Limit Racing top-tens, but achieving victory in the process, doing so at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, California, aboard Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) No. 87. The victory, Sanders’ first-ever with the national touring High Rollers, was achieved from the second row, helping RSR pad their quest toward a High Limit Racing title while primary wheelman Aaron Reutzel continues his recovery from a foot injury.
As noted, Sanders, ace of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, secured back-to-back top-fives in his West Coast chase with High Limit Racing, opening the weekend with a fifth-place outcome at Tulare’s Thunderbowl Raceway on Friday, August 15. Although just short of victory, Sanders’ evening nearly resulted in a sweep, opening competition with heat race and dash triumphs.
Although A-Aron is sidelined with a foot cast, his presence is well known, helping RSR find success as the team’s Crew Chief.
“Just so proud of this race team. Justin [Sanders] has acclimated so well and Aaron [Reutzel] has been helping every step of the way. They’ve molded well and it shows,” Brian Ridge stated. “We have another big weekend ahead. We’re excited to get to Chico and see what we can do. The momentum and confidence is high and we’re ready to chase $100,000.”
Certainly no strangers to big money paydays, Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing won Port Royal Speedway’s coveted Bob Weikert Memorial for $100,000 in late May. The team will roll into Chico with a combined eight victories on the season.

Andy Forsberg 9th to Open High Limit Swing
PETERSEN MEDIA: Shifting his focus to the High Limit Racing swing through northern California, Andy Forsberg got the two week stretch off to a solid start on Saturday night in Placerville, CA as he recorded a 10th place finish with the national series.
“It was kind of funny, I felt really good in hot laps and qualifying but the timing and scoring didn’t agree with how I felt and we were very slow,” Andy Forsberg said. “Luckily I got my act together in our heat race and went from sixth to third and put ourselves in a much better spot in the feature event.”
With 40 cars checked in at Placerville Speedway for the series’ lone visit to the track of the year, Forsberg timed the Meridian Cameras/PHR/Oroville Tax backed no. 92 entry in 11th fastest in his qualifying flight and with the split session that placed the Auburn, CA driver in the third row of his heat race.
With the cool weather keeping the track in good shape, Forsberg found some moisture in his heat and it aided his charge forward. Getting by the likes of Gio Scelzi, Sye Lynch, and Cory Eliason, Forsberg worked his way to a third-place finish which placed him in the 14th starting spot for the 35-lap feature event.
From the outside of the seventh row, Forsberg took a liking to the high side of the speedway as he began to work his way forward. Racing into ninth by the 11th lap, a caution bunched the field back up and the ensuing restart was not kind to the Auburn, CA driver.
When the action resumed, Forsberg was trapped on the bottom and lost every spot he gained in the opening 10 laps as he fell back to 14th.
As laps clicked off, Forsberg was able to slowly race his way back into the Top-10 as he took the 10th spot over on the 27th marker.
A final restart with two laps to go played into Forsberg’s favor as he was able to grab another position and cap his night off with a ninth-place finish.
“We definitely have to find some more speed before Gold Cup,’ Andy Forsberg said. “Placerville is a tricky place for a lot of the National guys, but Chico is a place quite a few of them are comfortable at, and we will need to be even better to contend.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-35, Wins-8, Top 5’s-21, Top 10’s-25
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are set for the 71st annual Gold Cup in Chico, CA. They will be in action in 360ci action on Wednesday night and then return to High Limit action on Thursday and Saturday.

Joel Myers Jr Rebounds to Finish 19th at Placerville After Early Incident in Feature
PETERSEN MEDIA: With Kubota High Limit Racing on the West Coast for three weeks, Hayward Motorsports and Joel Myers Racing teamed up for the swing, and Saturday night Myers Jr rallied from an early incident in the feature to finish 19th with a damaged front end at Placerville Speedway.
“It is always good to get home and race in front of family and friends,’ Joel Myers Jr said. “I am thankful that my Hayward Motorsports team wanted to play a role with this swing, and I am hoping we can be a little better in Chico and in Oregon and Washington.”
With 40 cars on hand, Myers Jr timed his Hi Plains Building Division/Velocity Engineering/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 19JR in sixth quickest in his qualifying flight, which put him on the front row of his heat race.
Lining up alongside Corey Day for heat race action with a trip to the Dash on the line, Myers Jr battled hard with Friday night’s feature event winner before settling into second.
Keeping a firm grasp on second, Myers Jr’s runner up finish put him in the 12th starting spot for the 35-lap feature event.
Jumping into 11th when the race went green, lap three proved to be costly for Myers Jr as cars got out shape which caused his to half spin and then endure contact to his front end which left him stalled out in the middle of turns three and four.
Making a trip to the work area, Myers Jr’s team made a quick repair and sent him back down the ramp to restart the race as he tagged the rear of the field in 25th.
With his front end not completely right, Myers Jr fought his car as he slowly worked his way forward looking to make up all of his lost track position.
Unable to mount a serious charge from the tail end of the field, Myers Jr took what we could get as he raced back to 19thplace finish when the checkered flag was displayed to the field.
“We had good speed all night, but just got put in a bad spot in the feature and dictated how we finished,” Myers Jr said. “Thanks to everyone who helped us out in the pits all night, and thanks to all of the great people who support us.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.
Joel Myers Jr Racing would like to thank All About Fire Protection, Hi-Plains Building Division, DirtDudes Excavating, Carbon Safety, System 1 Ignition, Weld, FK Rod Ends, Blud Lubricants, Smith Ti, Culvert Ops, Economy Plumbing, Cartronics, NorCal Powersports, Y2K Gaming, Shark Racing Engines, Lucas Oil, Vaider, Walker Performance Filtration, ShopRico.Com, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Kaeding Performance, Triple X Race Co., and Ogio, for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 37, Wins-11, Top-5’s-15, Top-10’s-21
ON TAP: Myers Jr now turns his attention to the Gold Cup Race of Champions in Chico, CA where he will run the opening 360ci race on Wednesday night and then return to High Limit action on Thursday and Saturday.

Hagar and Rains Returning to Action This Saturday Following Train Wreck
Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (Aug. 18, 2025) – It’s been a long last few days for Derek Hagar and car owner A.G. Rains, who are persevering after near tragedy.
The team’s trailer got stuck on a railroad crossing only a handful of minutes from a race track in Tennessee last Friday. After trying to reverse to no avail, everyone got out of the truck to figure out a solution while someone on the team called the emergency phone number for the railroad. Moments later, a train heading down the track collided with the trailer.
“A.G. has been over that track before and made it,” Hagar said. “We found out after everything that happened they have raised that train track six inches and it’s made it steeper. We were there two minutes tops. That was the most helpless feeling in my life.
“We lost some valuable stuff, but the most valuable thing we kept was our lives. It was one of those things you never think would happen. Seeing it in person, it was the most helpless feeling.”
Hagar, who said the team was at the site until after midnight, is working with Rains to ensure the team continues to compete, using his truck and trailer with Rains’ equipment for the remainder of the season. The team will return to action this Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., with the ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints.
“He’s like, ‘Don’t quit on me,’” Hagar said of Rains. “‘I don’t have any give up in me. We can race tonight or can get it going to race tomorrow night.’ He was ready to race. The smart decision that we all decided was to step back, regroup for the weekend. We have everything organized in my trailer. We aren’t going to miss a beat.
“I’m looking at this Saturday as another race. I want to do good and put A.G. in Victory Lane. That’s my main focus. He took the most impact of this whole situation. My priority is making sure we go out there and keep plugging along and competing for wins.
“I also want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support. You really find out who your friends are when big things like this happen.”

Estenson Excited to Make Sprint Car Season Debut Saturday at Off Road Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Tim Estenson will make his first sprint car start of the season this Saturday at Off Road Speedway during a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars event.
Estenson, who is spending this season on the crew of the Tim Estenson Motorsports No. 53 driven by Jack Dover, is the defending MSTS 410 Sprint Cars champion and was victorious during his lone visit to the dirt track in Norfolk, Neb., in 2023.
“I’m definitely excited to get back in after sitting back and learning a different role this year,” he said. “I want to see if I can feel more in the car now that I know more. It’s for fun, but with my competitiveness I want to do well.”
Estenson charged from seventh to win a 360ci winged sprint car race at Off Road Speedway in May 2023.
“The last time I raced there was in 2023 in a 360 and we ended up winning,” he said. “We’ve had success there so I think we should be pretty solid. It’s convenient for us to make this happen with two cars. It’s not too far from the shop so it’s not hard to get another car to the track.
“Jack is the main focus, to get him to have a good result and get closer to winning the MSTS championship. At the same time we want to make the most of it.”

Kaleb Johnson Records Another Top-Five Finish at Huset’s Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson continued his consistency at Huset’s Speedway last Sunday after spending most of the week recuperating from an injured leg following a wild wreck the previous weekend.
“I felt pretty good,” the Team DGRD driver said. “It didn’t really bother me much and when you’re in the race car you have so much to think about so I didn’t think about my leg.”
Johnson qualified third quickest in his group and won a heat race to advance into the feature redraw. He then drew the No. 6 to start the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event on the outside of the third row.
“I think we qualified okay,” he said. “The earlier you went out the better you were. We got a good start to the heat race and clean air helped there. I felt pretty good in the heat race.
“Come feature-time I knew it’d be a little tougher starting sixth. I didn’t get the greatest start and washed up the track. That let a couple of guys get by me. As the race went on we were decent. I tried to use the middle and top a couple of times, but the bottom was the way to go. I didn’t need that last restart as I was passing (Mark) Dobmeier for third as the caution came out, but sometimes cautions work for you and sometimes they work against you.”
Johnson’s fifth-place result extends his streak of top fives at Huset’s Speedway to nine in a row during points races this season – the only driver to accomplish that feat. He owns a 24-point lead in the championship standings with two points races remaining at the high-banked oval.
Johnson plans to compete with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series this Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., during the Gerdau presents the 2nd Leg of the World of Outlaws Northern Tour and Saturday at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D., during the Ellingson presents the Duel in the Dakotas before returning to Huset’s Speedway on Sunday.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 17 – Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. – Qualifying: 3; Heat race: 1 (2); Feature: 5 (6).
SEASON STATS –

After Two Months Off, Brody Roa Is Itching To Get Back In His Racecar Saturday At Perris
Cypress, CA – August 14, 2025 — Fifty-six days may not sound
like a long time, but for 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa,
it’s felt like an eternity. That stretch without strapping into his sprint
car ends this Saturday night when his bright green #91R rolls into the pit
area at Perris Auto Speedway for battle in the Avanti Windows and Doors
USAC/CRA Series.
Roa, who calls Garden Grove, California home, last competed at Perris on June 21. That night, the 15-year sprint car veteran was having his best outing of the season. He qualified fourth fastest of the 20-car field, advanced from fifth to fourth in his heat race, and earned the third starting spot for the main event on the famous half-mile clay oval.
In the feature, the 34-year-old wasted no time charging to the front, stealing the lead coming off turn two on lap three. But moments later, a slide through turn four got a little too sideways, slowing his momentum. Another car had nowhere to go and made contact, ending Roa’s night early.
That charge to the lead — with the car handling better than it had all year — only made him hungrier to get back behind the wheel.
“I am excited,” Roa enthused on Thursday evening. “Not racing a ton this year and then taking two months off in the middle of the season. I have got the itch to go again. I have tinkered on the car a little bit over the last two months. I actually put it on the ground today and took some measurements. We are all ready to go. I think that kind of showed that by the end of the night, we were pretty good.”
The second-generation driver took the July race at Perris off as it was on the same day as his daughter Rylee’s second birthday party. Even though he has not been in the car for nearly two months, Roa does not think there will be any issues getting back into the swing of things on Saturday.
“Getting in the right mindset is not too difficult for me,” he replied when asked if he is racer ready. “It takes a few laps, probably hot laps and qualifying to get things felt out again and get in a rhythm. As far as mindset goes, I have been doing it long enough that I can turn that mode on once we get to the racetrack.”
Roa is still looking for a ride or someone who has an engine to team up with for the upcoming USAC/CRA races at the grand reopening of the famous Calistoga Speedway on Labor Day weekend.
“Nothing yet,” Roa answered when asked if he had put anything together. “I have had a couple of conversations. Even if we found an engine and put it in our stuff, obviously, that is a lot of money for our team to go up and do it. I have got a little backing to do it. Just nothing with the right engine or right car to go and really make it worth it has come through yet. I am still open to something that might pop up. If it is the right opportunity, not just for me, but for the car owner or engine owner to do it, I will. As of right now, I am going to be watching on Flo.”
Fans eager to see Roa and the rest of the USAC/CRA stars in action can head to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets are $35.00 for ages 13 and up, $30.00 for seniors 65 and over, $10.00 for kids 6–12, and free for children 5 and under. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking.
Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be sold on race night. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. The track is located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris.
Interested in teaming up with Brody Roa for Calistoga? Contact him directly at 714-932-7994 or via email at brodyroa91@gmail.com.
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

Lernerville Speedway
Sarver, PA (August 14, 2025) Four deserving drivers will etch their names onto the Lernerville Speedway division track champions list on Friday night as our weekly Fab4 Racing season comes to an end. The points battles in all divisions have been made even more intense this season as Mother Nature erased up to seven race nights from our Fab4 Racing schedule. Truly, every lap and point have mattered even more in 2025, and on Friday fans will be treated to one last round of the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars, Glassmere Fuel Services Late Models, Diehl Automotive Big Block Modifieds, and the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stocks all in action.
For those keeping an eye on the standings heading into Friday night, the system is simple to follow. Heat races carry a 10 point value for the winner and decline by one point per position, while features give the winner 30 points which then decline by two points per position through the fifth spot, then by one point through the remainder of the field. A total of 40 points are possible to earn in one night should a driver win both their heat and feature. Heading into racing on Friday night, all four divisions are well within one night of points at the top of the standings. But there's more than just a higher place in the standings on the line, for the drivers who have yet to capture a feature win in 2025, it is one final chance to keep streaks going or carry momentum into the offseason.
AJ Flick is on the verge of a staggering ninth career title with the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint cars as he carries a 16 point lead ahead of Carl Bowser, who has two championships of his own. Meanwhile, Michael Norris watched his substantial point lead get shaved down to a precarious six points in Glassmere Fuel Service Late Model action last Friday night as Colton Flinner crossed first under the checkers while Norris suffered mechanical gremlins in his heat race causing his early exit, costing him several points in the process. Garrett Krummert will look to go back to back as track champion with the Diehl Automotive Big Block Modifieds, coming into the night with a solid 19 point lead, however, behind him Dave Murdick holds a single point lead over Jeremiah Shingledecker for the second spot. Shingledecker was in a similar spot in 2009 when he shocked the grandstands by winning the title while coming into the night third in the standings after leader Brian Swartzlander suffered misfortune in both his heat and main event. And in Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stock action, Cody Koteles brings a 14 point lead over Jacob Dietz as both drivers look to take their first career track title.
Pits will open at 4 PM on Friday with grandstands opening at 5 PM and racing scheduled to start at 7:30 PM. General Admission is $20 while children 10 and under are admitted free as always. For those unable to attend, we offer the entire night of racing LIVE for your viewing pleasure on our streaming platform at Dirt.TV. Monthly subscriptions to Dirt.TV are just $24.00 per month and include all of our events, LIVE from the track. For a $149 annual subscription, fans can enjoy not only all our live events but our entire archive of events including our coverage at other tracks, rodeo coverage and much more!
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is getting ready for a return to The Action Track for two nights of racing on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30 as we play host to the Hillbilly Hundred for the first time in Lernerville Speedway history! Avoid the lines and purchase your tickets online at Lernerville.com today and don't miss this historic weekend of racing!
Robert Ballou Sidelined After Suffering Back Injury
During Indiana Sprint Week
PETERSEN MEDIA: In the midst of a very strong 2025 season, Robert Ballou now finds himself on the sidelines for an extended period after enduring a brutal back injury during the penultimate night of India Sprint Week when he got upside-down at Bloomington Speedway.
“It is a tough pill to swallow because things had really turned around for the team and we had a ton of speed,” Robert Ballou said.
Upon evaluation, it was discovered that Ballou endured fractures to his T2, T3, and T5 vertebrae, and while surgery is not needed it will be a roughly an eight week recovery period until he can be revaluated with hopes to returning to the track.
“If there’s any way possible, even if it’s just for the final two races in Arizona, I’m going to try to get back in the seat for my fans,” he said. “But I also must be smart. I understand the risks of coming back too soon, and I won’t jeopardize my long-term health or my future in racing.”
“Luckily these are all new injuries and none of my back issues from the past were effected or worsened,” Ballou said. “But being forced to the sidelines is never easy, especially when you know how much work everyone around you has put in. I hate it for my team. I hate it for our sponsors. And honestly, I just hate not being behind the wheel.”
Though he will be sidelined, Ballou still plans on staying connected with his fans who have stuck with him through every twist and turn along the way.
“I have some of the best fans in the world, and I truly appreciate everyone’s support this year, and I will do my best to keep the store loaded with fresh designs even though we won’t be at the track.” Ballou added.
For those wanting to support Ballou while he rests and recovers, the Robert Ballou Merchandise store will still have plenty of merchandise available at https://robertballou.myshopify.com.
“Not racing hurts, but knowing there are people out there who still believe in me and who still wear the shirts and hats means the world to me,” Ballou added. “It’s not a great time for a pause, but I will be back stronger than ever.”
Robert Ballou would like to thank Suburban Subaru, Deaton’s Waterfront Service, Berks Western Telecom, Inc., CORinstallation, Amy Gardner Roofing, Hinchman Indy, Don Ott Racing Engines, Manvel Motorsports, Walker Performance Filtration, Amsoil Inc, Murray’s Body Shop, Konnected Clothing, Hooker Harness, Indy Race Parts, Hoosier Tire, Schoenfeld Headers, Chalk Racing Products, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Saldana Racing Products, Moose Blocks, Inc., AO Designs, and Arai Helmets for their support.
ON TAP: Robert Ballou is sidelined for the time being while he recovers from a back injury sustained during Indiana Sprint Week.

CRSA TRAVELS EASTWARD FOR RETURN TO ALBANY-SARATOGA
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – August 13, 2025
It’s the most extended trip of the year for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints, but it’s worth the wait.
For the first time in two years, CRSA heads to Lyle DeVore’s Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta Friday for round four of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
This is the 14th time since 2007 that the series has visited "The Great Race Place." CRSA last visited Malta in 2023, with Dalton Herrick visiting Victory Lane.
In addition, many partners have stepped up to enhance the program. Upstate Acoustical Corporation, owned by sprint car driver Fred Proctor, will sponsor the night. In addition, Ferris Coin & Jewelry will sponsor the heat races, paying $200 to each heat winner.
Here’s a look at the top news and notes for Friday.
Tune In Friday: Action can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV with Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
Last Time Out: CRSA held its first doubleheader of the year at Outlaw Speedway and Woodhull Raceway for a pair of Dandy Miniseries races.
Friday, Jordan Hutton started fourth and wasted no time taking the lead after a lap. Hutton led all 25 laps to score his first tour win of 2025.
The summer so far has been tough for Hutton. After starting the season off with three top fives in the first four races, Hutton didn’t get back in the top 10 for five races until July 19 at Thunder Mountain, where he has put together three top fives. Getting adapted to the new Hoosier Med1 tire has been an issue, but his No. 66 team has figured things out.
“The new right rear tire threw us the biggest curveball in sprint car racing,” said Hutton. “We made a few adjustments, made a few phone calls and finally got it going at Weedsport [in an Empire Super Sprints feature]. We definitely got a hot rod again.”
Billy VanInwegen finished second while Dillon Paddock was third.
The following night, CRSA headed to Woodhull to crown a Dandy Miniseries champion. In the feature, May feature winner and points leader Dillon Paddock started on pole and led the opening 15 laps before a three-car accident that brought out the red flag.
Behind him on the restart? His championship rival Zach Sobotka. On the restart, Sobotka had the advantage around the outside to take the lead. Billy VanInwegen closed in for the lead but couldn’t find his way past, allowing Sobotka to hold on for his series-leading third win of the season.
“As you’re coming to the frontstretch, it’s like the outside car has an advantage and it’s hard when you’re the bottom car,” said Sobotka. “We got slowed down so much on the bottom and the car loads up and stumbles there coming out of the corner.”
Just like Friday, VanInwegen was second and Paddock was third.
Jordan Hutton finished fourth and clinched the miniseries championship by
Mano y Mano: With Paddock’s pair of thirds and Sobotka’s fifth and win, Dillon Paddock came out of the weekend as the points leader with a slim one-point margin on Zach Sobotka.
Entering Albany-Saratoga, neither has run a sprint car race at the state capital, so they come in with neutral experience.
With four races before the full points for the overall championship transition into show-up points only, both drivers are in a tight championship race where it could come down to the wire when the final points payout comes at Weedsport, Sept. 6.
Rest of Standings: With Jordan Hutton’s win Friday night, the No. 66 has propelled to a comfortable gap over others for third. Hutton is 24 points ahead of fourth-place Dalton Herrick.
Despite driving with a battered left hand, Herrick scored his first top five of the season Friday night. The No. 29 is also 24 points ahead of Timmy Lotz.
Lotz is in a battle for fifth in points alongside Scott Landers, the former up by 10. Last weekend, Lotz beat Landers in both races.
Alysha Bay and Spencer Burley continue to battle for a spot in points and look to rebound after tough weekends. Bay is up seven on Burley, but now add Alysha's father, Darryl Ruggles, into the thick of things, who is 10 behind Burley.
The rest of the top 12 have Vince Chicklets in 10th, 353 points behind Paddock, Bailey Boyd in 11th, 390 points behind the leader and Steve Glover in 12th, 457 points behind.
The Trends: As we start to approach the homestretch of the season, drivers are starting to trend at the right time.
In the last six races, Dillon Paddock has finished on the podium. In those six races, “The Showstopper” has picked up a win and five thirds. In addition, he has finished in the top 10 in all races except for the season opener at Outlaw.
In 12 of 13 races, Sobotka continues to finish in the top five. The No. 38 is three top fives away from tying Scott Goodrich’s record of 15 top fives set in 2015. His worst finish of the year is a ninth at Thunder Mountain last month.
Jordan Hutton has scored three straight top fives after starting the year with four straight top 10s.
Finally, in six features, Billy VanInwegen has scored six top fives. In addition, VanInwegen has finished second in the last three races.
Loyalty Giveaways: Our third giveaway of the season is Friday. Drivers that entered the race at Utica-Rome last June and enter Friday will be eligible to win an FK Shock and Smith 305 legal front and rear brake package. The package has an estimated value of $4600.
It is one of five giveaways we are awarding this season. The drawing will be done immediately after the feature.
Spencer Burley won the first giveaway, a Sweet Manufacturing steering package. Darryl Ruggles won the second giveaway, a Saldana fuel package. They will be ineligible to win giveaways the rest of the year.
By the Numbers: 10 different drivers have won a CRSA feature at "The Great Race Place," led by Danny Varin with three and Josh Pieniazek with two. Jeff Trombley and Dalton Herrick are active drivers who have won at Albany-Saratoga.
From the Frontman: “We missed coming to 'The Great Race Place' last year, but we’re glad we were able to work something out with Lyle DeVore and his team to book a date this season. We bring an exciting championship chase to Albany-Saratoga, you won’t want to miss it!”
Up Next: CRSA returns to Brewerton Speedway Aug. 22 for another edition of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

Visiting Drivers Join USAC/CRA Regulars at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Perris, California — August 13, 2025 — When Heimark
Distributors/Anheuser Busch presents the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA
Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, August 16th, the
series regulars will have company. Five series non-regulars — Max Adams,
Marty Hawkins, Heath Holdsclaw, Chris Gansen, and Brody Roa — will take on
the fastest traditional sprint cars west of the Mississippi. Also on the
card are the PASSCAR Super and Street Stocks.
image.png
Chris Gansen will make his 2025 debut Saturday at Perris. Doug Allen photo.
Adams, a Loomis, California native now based in Indiana, will pilot a Dwight Cheney-owned car. The 2016 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year and 2020 Gas City Speedway champion owns four career USAC/CRA wins. He posted single wins in 2017 and 2018 at the Santa Maria Speedway. His last series triumphs came four years ago when he scored wins two weeks apart at Kern and the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.
Hawkins, from Santa Rosa, which is about an hour north of San Francisco, returns to The PAS for the first time in over a decade. While he is from Northern California, he is no stranger to the area, as he attended college in Azusa. The likable driver has one win with USAC/CRA. That came at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville in 2013. He’ll be driving for Cheney and Hawkins Motorsports on Saturday.
Holdsclaw makes the long trip from Meadow Vista, located between San Francisco and Reno, for his second PAS start of the year. On his first trip to the Riverside County half-mile clay oval in July, he qualified 17th and placed eighth in his heat. He wrapped up the night by steering his dad, Tony’s sharp #33 Maxim Chassis/Don Ott Engine from 16th to 13th in the 30-lap main event.
Veteran Gansen will make his 2025 season debut on Saturday. A past series regular, the Verdemont Heights driver has been focusing on his 10-year-old son Landon’s quarter midget career for the past two years. The longtime USAC/CRA competitor’s family has deep roots at the track, competing in lightning sprints, midgets, sprint cars, and now quarter midgets at the track located just behind the PAS main grandstands.
While Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA champion, is considered a track regular, he missed the last PAS race as it fell on the same day as his daughter Rylee’s second birthday party. Earlier this season, he posted finishes of 6th, 7th, 8th, and 21st. The latter came on June 21st. After steering his bright green #91R into the lead, the 34-year-old was knocked out of the race after contact with another car.
They’ll all face stiff competition from PAS regulars, including point leader Ricky Lewis, defending champ RJ Johnson, “The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams, A.J. Bender, David Gasper, July PAS winner Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm, Matt Mitchell, and more.
Tickets: Adults (13+) $35, Kids (6–12) $10, Children 5 &
under free. Fairgrounds parking $20.
Advance Tickets: tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 — Walk-up sales available at the gate.
The famous track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris.
Tickets for the September 13th World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Cars and Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car doubleheader are available at https://bit.ly/42Dssil.
Camping is available on the fairgrounds for $25 per night starting at noon on Friday.
FINAL BALA MANAGEMENT “SUPER SERIES” EVENT OF 2025 FOR “410” SPRINTS SATURDAY AT SHARON; RUSH SPRINTS, RUSH MODS & PRO STOCKS ALSO IN ACTION
August 13, 2025
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)...After hosting the “Steel Valley 75” this past Monday, it’ll be another quick turnaround as Sharon Speedway returns to action this Saturday night (August 16) for the “Bill Kirila Memorial”. Though the 96th anniversary season still has three events remaining, Saturday will be the final Bala Management “Super Series” event of 2025.
The four-division program will feature the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply “410” Sprint Cars along with the RUSH Sprint Cars, Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks, and the HTMA/Precise Racing RUSH Sportsman Modifieds all for just $15 in general admission! It’s Sunburst Environmental, Hovis Auto & Truck Supply, and Diehl Automotive Night. Group qualifying for the Sprints will begin at approximately 6:40 p.m. followed by racing.
Bill Kirila was one of the owners of Sharon along his brother Ron and the Blaney and Weller Families when the track changed ownership in 2002. Kirila of Brookfield, Ohio passed away after an extended illness on June 23, 2006 at the age of 68. He was a graduate of Brookfield Ohio School and went on to become the Vice President of Kirila Contractors. Ron Kirila passed away on April 24 and will also be remembered on Saturday night.
The Willy’s World Kids Club presented by MillCraft Barns will include a driver autograph session from 5-5:30 p.m. (drivers TBA) followed up by driver and fan engagement activities from 5:30-6 p.m. Willy’s World is a non-profit organization dedicated to educate, support, guide, and provide resources to families and children with hidden disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Saturday night will be another $4,000 to-win/$400 to-start event for the “410” Sprints in their final tune-up before the September 27 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car event. Sharon has completed just five "410" Sprint Car events thus far in 2025 as the World of Outlaws, Western PA Speedweek, and the Ohio Speedweek All Star Circuit of Champions events unfortunately all fell victim to Mother Nature in addition to the July 26 Bala Management "Super Series" event.
A.J. Flick ended a two-and-a-half-year winless drought at Sharon winning the May 10 opener. Dale Blaney then won the next two events aboard his brother Dave’s famous red #10. Danny Dietrich won his first “Lou Blaney Memorial” on August 9 worth $13,000. And most recently, Brandon Spithaler got the monkey off his back with his first career Sharon “410” win on Monday making for four different winners in five races.
The non-wing RUSH Sprint Cars will make their sixth and final appearance of the season. Defending Series Champion John Mollick has won all four of his visits, while Zach Morrow won his first career Sharon race at the most recent event on July 12 when Mollick wasn’t in action. Mollick, who has one career Big-Block Modified victory at Sharon, has won seven of his last eight RUSH Sprint races at the track dating back to last season after being shutout at Sharon in prior seasons. Blaze Myers currently leads RUSH's $5,000 to-win Billy's Garage Weekly Series points.
The HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds will make their next-to-last appearance of the season on Saturday. Defending Series Champion Chas Wolbert leads the way with three victories, which has upped his all-time division leading tally at Sharon to 25. Ayden Cipriano won the June 28 show, while Darin Gallagher won his first career Sharon race last Saturday night. Wolbert also leads both the $3,500 to-win Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Weekly Series and the $1,000 to-win “Route 7 Rumble” Series points for the RUSH Series.
Like the Sprints, the Pro Stocks have also completed five events thus far this season with four different winners. After being shutout of victory lane in 2024, Chris Schneider has won both of his 2025 starts as he upped his all-time win mark to 20, which moved him into sole possession of eighth place on the division’s all-time win list. His most recent win came on June 28 in the $2,000 to-win "Ray's Race" for the Penn-Ohio Championship Series. Former UMP Modified standout, Scott Stiffler, won for just the second time in a Pro Stock on June 21. The last events have saw a pair of newcomers grace Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Victory Lane with their first career Sharon wins including Nick Kocuba and Jacob Dietz.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award on Saturday night to the Pro Stocks. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature.
The Performance Bodies "Nosed Out" program will award a $100 Performance Bodies gift card redeemable only at Wedge Motorsports to a driver in the Pro Stocks. The recipient will be the driver that most closely beat out another competitor for any finishing position on the lead lap. Tiebreaker will be the driver with the best finishing position.
There is no Sharon registration fee. One-way driver radios are mandatory; channel 454.000. AMB/MyLaps transponders are required; rentals available for $25. If you have yet to register for the 2025 season, please bring the registration form with you completed https://www.sharonspeedway.com/downloads/get.aspx?i=1006835
"410" Sprint Car Payoff: 1. $4,000 2. $2,000 3. $1,400 4. $900 5. $675 6. $650 7. $625 8. $600 9. $550 10. $500 11. $475 12. $450 13. $425 14. $410 15-24. $400. Tow/Non-Qualifiers $100.
Fans can not only experience viewing from the frontstretch and backstretch grandstands, but also from the infield fan zone, which includes concessions and restrooms. Sharon is the only track in the area to have viewing from the unique infield perspective. There will be times throughout the night when fans can cross on the frontstretch back and forth.
The pits will be open throughout the afternoon with passes going on sale at 4 p.m., while general admission opens at 4:30. The drivers meeting will be held at 6:10 p.m. followed by Sprint Car motor heat with group qualifying for the “410” Sprints scheduled for approximately 6:40 p.m. followed by racing.

BOHUD RACING’S SCHEDULE LOCKED IN
ALTHOUGH their schedule has taken a bit longer than usual to organise during this off season, the Bohud Racing team is pleased to finally be able to reveal their 2025-26 season 410 Sprintcar schedule.
In what is a different schedule to previous seasons, the Bohud Racing team is set to run an expanded interstate schedule aboard their NS # 14 ARRMA Australia / Illawarra Truck Repairs & Spares supported Triple X car with team driver, Michael Stewart.
“The whole team is excited about hitting the road on a more regular basis this season, and we feel that it’s the right time for us to do it,” commented Bohud Racing team owner Scott Jones.
“Our first three seasons in Sprintcar racing have seen us compete mainly in our home state of NSW and we have learned so much as a team during this time, but we are committed to growing as a team and Michael as a driver by taking on the country’s best drivers at the best tracks.”
Jones continued by saying that the Bohud Racing team is geared up for a big season on the road.
“During the off season, we have built a new transporter that is going to be better equipped for us when hitting the road, secured most of last season’s sponsors and brought in some new sponsors, and freshened up all of our equipment, so we are looking really good to the season ahead,” he enthused.
“When it comes to our schedule, we have mapped out it so that we are doing more blocks of racing throughout the season in order to do as much racing as possible within those blocks, and it includes running the Speedweek Series during the Christmas-New Year period down south.”
Apart from a big interstate schedule, the Bohud Racing team is committed to supporting as many of the Sprintcar Association of NSW events as possible during the season, including the two 410 Sprintcar shows at the soon to be reopened Wagga Speedway in the state’s south.
After being one of NSW’s top team in recent seasons, the Bohud Racing team is looking forward to the upcoming 2025-26 season and being able to further develop within the world of 410 Sprintcar racing.
PLEASE NOTE: The 2025-26 season schedule for the Bohud Racing team is subject to change.
Stay tuned for updates regarding the Bohud Racing team and the upcoming 2025-26 season.

Attica Raceway Park
Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025
ATTICA, Ohio - Sometimes things change, sometimes they stay the same. When the dominance of the three point leaders at Attica Raceway Park has not changed from a year ago it becomes bounty season.
In the Callies Performance 410 Sprints three time and defending Attica champion Cap Henry has a 138 point lead with 4 wins in 12 races. In the DirtNerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models defending track champion Kyle Moore has a 79 point lead with 2 wins in 11 races. In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints five time and defending track champion Jamie Miller has a 26 point lead with 5 wins in 11 races.
Going into the last three full points nights, (Aug. 15, Aug. 22 and Sept. 5) Attica Raceway Park will put a bounty on all three division point leaders. The bounty will start at an extra $500 to any driver who can beat Cap Henry, Kyle Moore, or Jamie Miller. If those drivers win Friday, Aug. 15 the bounty will rise to $600 for Aug. 22. If Henry, Moore or Miller win Aug. 22 the bounty will rise to $1,000 on championship night.
"Our weekly competition is tough in all three divisions. For these three drivers to be so dominant all year really says something about them and their teams," said John Bores, Attica Raceway Park Promoter.
In order to collect the bounty the point leaders need to be competing in the A-Main. Once a bounty is collected it will then be taken away from that driver.
"Usually you only see a bounty in one division…we have it in all three! Im looking forward to see who can take down the point leaders and take home these bounties," said Justin Liskai, Attica Raceway Park Director of Operations.
If any marketing partners or any other business wants to add to the bounty or put up their own bounty please contact Director of Operations Justin Liskai via email at justin@atticaracewaypark.com or by phone at (419)-217-5436

Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Gennetten looks to celebrate birthday with POWRi 410 Winged Sprint win
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 13, 2025) - Ayrton Gennetten turns 26 on Saturday and gets to celebrate his birthday doing what he loves, which is going fast in a 410 Winged Sprint car. The ultimate present, of course, would be to unwrap a feature victory at the 14th annual Impact Signs, Awnings & Wraps Open-Wheel Showdown Presented by Heritage Tractor at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Gennetten will have plenty of family and friends on hand as it’s a “home” appearance of sorts, as he’s from about an hour and a half away in Versailles.
“It’s really important to have a lot of races close to home on our schedule,” Gennetten said. “That’s what is so great about the POWRi deal, having so many 410 races close to home. It's a big thing to me, having my family there. Stuff like that makes it a little more exciting knowing you can race in front of family, friends, fans and sponsors.”
Gennetten is set to continue his pursuit of a third straight POWRi 410 Outlaw Winged Sprint championship as he has a 40-point lead over Joe B. Miller entering the weekend, which begins on Friday at Lakeside Speedway. With two wins and top-10 finishes in all nine POWRi 410 events, Gennetten is pleased with the consistency of his season.
The third-generation open-wheel racer said he obviously would like to have more than two wins in a schedule that’s seen him race 30 times overall, including last week’s Knoxville Nationals where he fell just short of making the big show.
“It wasn’t bad,” Gennetten said of Knoxville. "We tore a car up at Pevely the week before and blew a motor at Oskaloosa two nights before Knoxville. It wasn’t an ideal week, but it was one of those things where every time you go you learn something. I think we learned a little something about our race car and that will help us get a little better for what’s coming up this week.”
As for the season, Gennetten said the team has been gaining speed “and at the end of the day that’s what you want.” He noted that three nights at the Kubota High Limit Series at Lucas Oil Speedway in late June, in which he was a top-10 qualifier in two of the nights with feature finishes just outside the top 10 all three nights were educational.
“Lucas Oil is a beautiful facility. When they get the track right, it produces some really good racing,” Gennetten said. “I feel really optimistic coming there this weekend. We were pretty strong at the High Limit, just missed the set-up a little bit. I think we’ve learned from then to now to be better so I’m obviously excited to go back.
“This is kind of a tuneup for the Hockett (Memorial) and to use it as kind of a steppingstone to that would be great. I’m real excited for this weekend. It’s one of the few times I get to race on my birthday.”
If he’s able to widen his POWRi points lead, even better. Winning a third straight championship is a goal.
“Coming into the season it’s always your goal, especially if you’re gonna run something like that, to try and win it,” Gennetten said. “With the point fund being so healthy this year, it would be really nice to win it again. Also, to have so many guys running it and such a good level of competition, it makes it that much more a goal to get it done and add another tick on your resume.”
Whether it’s POWRi, High Limit or other sanctioning bodies, Genentten said that 410 Sprint racing is probably better than it’s ever been.
“I think the level of competition night in and night out is probably the toughest it has been, ever, from the local stuff to the national stuff,” Genentten said. “You’re not gonna go anywhere in the country and race a 410 Sprint and not race against the best competition or the guys with the best stuff.
“The level of guys you race against, the competition is the toughest you’ll find across any sanctioning bodies. The competition in 410s is so diverse with so many good drivers, it’s definitely at the top of its game.”
The triple header of open-wheel divisions includes the POWRi 305 Wing Sprints and POWRi WAR/MWRA Wholesale Batteries Challenge Series.
Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing to follow at approximately 7.

Starks Primed for Double Duty Saturday at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Aug. 13, 2025) – Trey Starks has one final scheduled night of double duty at Skagit Speedway on tap.
Starks will compete in both the 410ci winged sprint car and 360ci winged sprint car divisions at the track this Saturday.
“This is the last double duty night this season,” he said. “I do like getting to run both of them. It gives you more looks at the race track. It’s pretty cool to win twice in one night, too. That opportunity doesn’t come around that often.”
Saturday marks the third time this year that Starks will do double duty on the same night at the dirt oval. He won both classes on May 10 – achieving that feat for the second straight year. Starks captured the 360 main event and finished second in the 410 main event three weeks later.
“I enjoy it and we seem to be pretty successful when we bring two cars,” he said. “You’re always moving and focusing on the task at hand.”
The event will also be the final 410 race at Skagit Speedway prior to the upcoming Skagit Nationals featuring Kubota High Limit Racing.
“I think we’ll just get a solid baseline going,” Starks said. “The track has been a little different the second half of the year so we’ll keep making notes how the track is and react from there.”
Starks enters Saturday’s show leading the 410 championship standings by 37 points and the 360 championship standings by 77 points.
SEASON STATS –
22 races, 7 wins, 16 top fives, 19 top 10s, 21 top 15s, 22 top 20s
UP NEXT –
Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash.

Tri-City Raceway Park Set to Crown Champions This Friday, August 15 — With Legends Returning and Title Fights Hotter Than the August Sun
Franklin, PA – August 12, 2025 — The summer heat isn't the only thing reaching its boiling point — the championship battles at Tri-City Raceway Park are red-hot and ready to explode this Friday, August 15, as the final points night of the 2025 season takes center stage. With temperatures soaring and pressure rising, there's no better way to cap off a thrilling season than by bringing back racing legends to witness new champions rise where they once ruled. Tri-City will proudly welcome former drivers and track champions to be honored during the evening — a fitting tribute as a new era of racing history is written in the dirt.
All season long, fans have been treated to door-to-door duels, underdog surges, and late-race drama. Now, it all comes down to one night, one race, and in several divisions, possibly one lap. The most electrifying battle of the night may belong to the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars, where just 41 points separate the top four drivers. Jeremy Weaver holds the lead, but Brandon Matus is breathing down his neck, trailing by just 12 markers. Bob Felmlee and Ricky Peterson Jr. are still in striking distance, and with the intensity these drivers have brought all year, this title fight could turn into a high-speed chess match under the lights.
The heat cranks up even higher in the Flea Flickers Super Late Models, where the battle between Darrell Bossard and Josh Ferry has raged all season and now comes down to a single point. That’s right — one position on the track could decide the championship. These two have been trading paint all summer, so it’s only fitting that the finale will be a showdown worthy of the spotlight. Not to be outdone, the Shawgo Real Estate Pro Stocks are putting on their own thriller, with Mike Miller leading Jake Whitling by just six points and Pat Fielding only a single marker behind him. It’s a three-man fight for a first-time title, and it’s anyone’s guess who will come out on top once the dust settles.
While the title picture is a bit clearer in other divisions, don’t expect the racing to be any less intense. In the 21st Century Energy Group Big Block Modifieds, Brad Rapp holds a 43-point edge over Mike Kinney, but with two features on tap — including a makeup from July 18 — that gap could close in a hurry if things go sideways. The Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprint Cars have been dominated by Blaze Myers, who’s looking to seal his title run with his eighth win of the season. Zach Morrow is still mathematically alive, but it would take something wild to deny Myers the crown he’s chased all year. In the Clarion County Community Bank RUSH Stock Cars, Raidden Wilson leads Will Baker by 45 points. While the car count has been light, the battles have been fierce — and Wilson will be looking for a calm, consistent night to lock down his first championship.
Off the track, fans will enjoy a special celebration as Tri-City honors the legends who helped build the legacy of this historic venue. From the old guard to the new wave, this is a night where generations of racing come together in one unforgettable evening. With high stakes, hot tempers, and the summer heat to match, this is a finale you don’t want to miss.
Racing starts early this Friday with the Big Block Modifieds
July 18 makeup feature hitting the clay at 6:30 PM. Gates open at 4:00 PM,
so arrive early, grab a cold drink, and get ready to witness history. The
champions of tomorrow are about to be crowned — and the legends of yesterday
will be there to see it all.

Dover Finds Positives During Challenging Knoxville Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 12, 2025) – Jack Dover put together his best Knoxville Nationals outing since 2021 last week at Knoxville Raceway.
“It definitely had its ups and downs,” he said. “We had Brian Kemenah helping us and I put too much pressure on myself because I didn’t want to let him down. But overall he made our car 20 times better so I’m excited for the future. I’m also grateful for his help and knowledge.”
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver opened the 64th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s on Thursday by timing in 36th quickest. He then placed second in a heat race to lock into the main event.
“I led the first half of the heat race, but I missed the bottom in turns one and two and then missed it the same lap in turns three and four,” he said. “I made one terrible lap and second place was able to get around us so that cost us the heat race win. We were trying some stuff in the feature so it was more about learning.”
Dover’s 18th-place result in the A Main was his best Knoxville Nationals preliminary night finish since 2017.
The team returned to the track on Friday for Hard Knox Night. Dover was 28th quickest in his group during qualifying before a 10th-place result in a heat race relegated him to the C Main. He won that race before advancing from 19th to 12th in the B Main.
“I was disappointed with time trials because we were the quickest in our group in hot laps,” he said. “That was frustrating, but we had to keep pushing. We got by a couple of cars in the heat race before someone hit our front tire, which flattened it. We got it fixed under a caution and had to restart at the back. That sent us to the C Main, which we were able to win. Considering all we got to do was put fuel in and switch helmets, moving up the amount we did in the B Main was pretty good. I felt really good around the bottom.”
The event concluded on Saturday. Dover finished fifth in the D Main to transfer into the back of the C Main. Unfortunately, a broken part on the front end closed the night early with a 23rd-place finish – his best ending to the event in four years.
Dover plans to race this Friday at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League and Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. He enters the event on Sunday ranked third in the track’s championship standings – only 71 points out of the lead.
“I’m pretty excited to race at Lakeside, Huset’s, anywhere we’re going,” he said. “We’ve been good at both tracks so hopefully we can have some good results this weekend and the rest of the season.”

Dominic Scelzi Eager for Thunderbowl and Placerville This Weekend With Kubota High Limit Racing
Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (Aug. 12, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi is facing competition versus national sprint car tours for the next month and a half beginning this week.
The next three weekends along the West Coast belong to Kubota High Limit Racing before the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series visits California.
“I’m excited to measure ourselves against the High Limit guys and World of Outlaws guys the next few weeks,” he said. “We’ve had an off year or two, but after the last Speedweek performance I feel we are closer than we have been in a while to being back where we need to be.”
Races this Friday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., and Saturday at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, Calif., during the 49er Gold Rush Classic fill the weekend schedule.
Scelzi has a season-best result of seventh at Thunderbowl Raceway and second at Placerville Speedway – two tracks where he has multiple victories.
“This will be a great test for us as a team and driver to see where we currently are speed-wise,” he said. “I feel we will be able to race well and hopefully we can time in strong as that is crucial. These tracks are historically strong ones for us so my goal is to be in the top 10 in all of these races these next few weeks.”
Scelzi, who has taken the last two weeks off, is currently riding a hot streak with two wins and five podiums during his last six races.

Kaleb Johnson Takes Two Rough Tumbles During Knoxville Nationals
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 12, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson is eager to put the 64th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s behind him following a rough week at Knoxville Raceway.
Johnson and Team DGRD ended both a preliminary night last Wednesday as well as the Hard Knox Night on Friday on the hook.
The marquee event began on Wednesday with Johnson going out late for time trials among the more than 50 drivers. He qualified 32nd quickest and won a heat race after lining up on the outside of the front row. That locked him into the 15th starting position for the A Main.
“I didn’t get the pill draw we wanted and our qualifying wasn’t the greatest, but we had speed,” he said. “I got a horrible start in the feature and lost three or four spots. I felt I was passing cars. I was racing with another driver and he was on the bottom. He moved to the top at the last second. I didn’t cheat the cushion enough, got over it and into the wall, and ended upside down.”
The team returned to the half-mile oval on Friday and showcased speed. Johnson was seventh quickest in his group during time trials before he battled for the lead early in a heat race.
“I challenged Donny (Schatz) for the lead on the bottom and he did the right thing and took my lane,” he said. “I think on Lap 3 I went into turn one expecting to hit the cushion. The next thing I knew I heard the motor rev and was backward into the cushion. I closed my eyes and hung on. The rear axle snapped and I went for a ride.”
The violent crash ended the night and the weekend early for Johnson, who is healing from an ankle injury sustained during the wreck.
“It was tough, but there’s always positives to take away,” he said. “I felt we had good speed on Friday leading into a parts failure nobody could do anything about. I’m looking forward to putting that week into the rearview mirror.”
Johnson plans to return to action this Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., where he is the leading the championship standings by 27 points.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 6 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Qualifying: 32; Heat race: 1 (2); Feature: 24 (15).

Hagar Enjoys Dream Week in Iowa With Charge at Front Row Challenge and Career-Best Knoxville Nationals Performance
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 12, 2025) – Derek Hagar wrapped up a month-long opportunity to drive for David Challons with a strong week in Iowa.
Hagar tied for the most positions gained during the Front Row Challenge at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa a week ago Monday before he posted a career-best Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway.
“It was a dream week for sure,” he said. “We didn’t win or anything, but we led a couple of laps on our Knoxville Nationals prelim. We salvaged a top 10, which I think is my best World of Outlaws feature finish. And we had enough points to lock into the B Main for Saturday. For being a new team based in Australia, one that we don’t run with, it was a great week. We learned every time we hit the race track.”
Following an up-and-down four weeks with a variety of results, Hagar and the team put together three strong nights last week. It began on Aug. 4 at Southern Iowa Speedway, where he charged from 20th to ninth during the main event.
“We were good, but I was still looking for some more drive,” he said. “We ended up doing what we normally do on my stuff and I was able to charge the corner real hard, get my nose under some guys and get by them off the corners. I think that was a turning point for our week going into the Knoxville Nationals.”
Hagar opened his preliminary night of the 64th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s last Thursday by qualifying 24th quickest. He then finished fourth in a heat race to lock into the main event.
“Going fourth to fourth in the heat race, I knew we were in the show, but I thought we’d be starting 14th or around there in the feature,” he said. “Doing eight for the invert of the heat races puts a lot of fast cars out of the show. Lucky enough, that put us on the pole. It was a surprise for the whole team. We were fortunate to start on the pole and lead some laps. It was an emotional deal being in the middle of the spotlight in front of all those fans and being at the front of the parade laps.
“I led two laps. To be honest, I knew I wanted to get a good start and stick the bottom. I wanted to lead at least a lap. That lets me know we had speed. I need to work on my momentum and how to carry it, what to do as the race progresses. Once we got around the top I felt pretty comfortable. By then those guys already know what to do and the guys who finished in front of me are guys who have been in contention to win the Knoxville Nationals on Saturday.”
Hagar held on for a ninth-place result, which marked his best Knoxville Nationals preliminary night outing. It also compiled enough overall points for him to be locked into the B Main for Saturday’s finale.
“That was huge not having to run on Friday during the Hard Knox Night,” he said. “I felt like we were decent on Saturday. The track didn’t go as slick as I thought it’d be with it being warm and somewhat sunny outside. I felt we made some good laps. We passed some good cars, got passed by some good cars and raced with some good cars. It’s nothing to hang our head about. I was really pleased with how it worked out. I walked away with more confidence than ever at Knoxville and I can’t wait to go back.
“We really didn’t know what we were getting into with that car. It’s good stuff, but not knowing the program we needed to learn quickly. It was great to end on a high note. The car owner was very happy with the results. Thanks to David for the opportunity.”
Hagar plans to return to the A.G. Rains owned No. 3 sprint car this Friday and Saturday at Clayhill Motorsports Park in Atwood, Tenn., with the USCS Series.

Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Announces World of Outlaws
Driver Change
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 12, 2025
Kerry Madsen To Drive No. 15 Sprint Car Through 2025 Season
Finale
No. 15 Team Will Continue To Compete in Owners’ Championship
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Aug. 12, 2025) – Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) has signed Kerry Madsen to drive its No. 15 sprint car in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, effective immediately. Madsen replaces Donny Schatz, with his first race in the No. 15 coming this Friday at Ogilvie (Minn.) Raceway.
Madsen is not new to TSR. The Australian racer completed the 2021 season driving TSR’s No. 14 sprint car, winning six events in 37 starts with the team.
Schatz departs TSR after nearly 18 years, a combination that earned eight World of Outlaws championships and 234 victories, including nine Knoxville Nationals wins.
“Donny has been an incredible part of TSR for nearly two decades, he’s helped build this organization into what it is today,” said Stewart. “We’ve had a driver/team owner relationship that has gone beyond that partnership, he’s become part of my extended family through the years, and I have the utmost respect for him and what his career represents – a generational driving talent.
“The achievements we’ve accomplished together are something that I’ll always be proud of,” said Stewart, team owner. “But in the past few years we’ve weathered changes in the sport and our performance hasn’t been to the level that both Donny and I expect. We’re both competitors to our core and we both hold ourselves to a high standard of performance that we’ve struggled to obtain. Making a change now gives each of us the chance to reset and refocus before 2026.
“Kerry’s been in our car before and is a proven winner, so bringing him back feels natural. He knows our team, we know his capabilities, and I’m confident he’ll give us everything he’s got as we close out the season.”
Madsen comes to TSR from the No. 55 VerMeer Madsen Racing team, where he competes full-time at Knoxville Raceway. The team is third in the track’s championship standings with one event remaining. Madsen will compete in the final Knoxville event on Aug. 23. TSR will announce an interim driver for the World of Outlaw events Aug. 22-23 in North Dakota at a later date.

BIRCH EQUIPMENT NIGHT AT SKAGIT SPEEDWAY: 410s, 360s, AND HORNETS.
The KarMART 410 Sprint Cars are back at Skagit Speedway this Saturday, Aug. 16, along with the 360 Sprint Cars and the Hornets for Birch Equipment Night. You won't want to miss any of the racing action as this is the last tune-up for 410 teams before the Skagit Nationals, with the Kubota High Limit Sprint Car Series paying $126,000 to win on Saturday night.
After over a month off, the KarMART 410 Sprint Cars are back this weekend for the final tune-up before the $126,000 Skagit Nationals. The last time the 410s roared around Skagit Speedway was Hall of Fame Night on July 12 and Colin Mackey looked poised to pick up his first-ever Skagit Speedway win after leading the first 28 laps. Mackey took the white flag; however, a caution flag fell before he could come back around to take the checkered flag. On the ensuing back straightaway restart, Mackey ran out of fuel, ending his spectacular run, and bringing out the red flag for a fuel stop. The Bellingham native finished 11th after starting second. Colton Heath inherited the lead on the upcoming restart after working his way from fifth to second.
Heath led the final two laps with ease to pick up his first 410 Sprint Car win of the year. Trey Starks leads the 410 drivers' points battle with 967 points. Jason Solwold is second with 930 (-37) points, and Jesse Schlotfeldt is third with 830 (-137) points. In nine features raced for the 410s this year at Skagit Speedway, Starks has missed finishing inside the top 10 once, and Solwold has missed it twice.
The 360 Sprint Cars return after a weekend off, last racing on Aug. 2 during Breast Cancer Awareness Night. Heath notched another win, picking up his first Skagit Speedway 360 Sprint Car win of the year that night after running strong all year at Skagit Speedway. The win wouldn't come easily for Heath as he did battle with Levi Hillier to start the night. Hillier started second with Starks to his inside, and after beating Starks on the start of the race, the 26 car led the opening 11 laps. Heath began third and moved past Starks and was working running down Hillier until the caution flag flew for Dustin Gehring on lap nine.
Hillier and Heath waged war on the restart that followed, throwing slide jobs back and forth until Heath finally got the better of it on lap 11 but again the caution flag came back out, this time for Starks. Heath felt pressure once more from Hillier on the restart but was able to hold him off and build over a three-second gap by the time the checkered flag fell. Starks leads the 360 points battle with 994 total points. Jason Solwold is in second with 917 (-77) points, and Heath is in third with 904 (-90) points.
In nine total races this year for the 360s at Skagit Speedway Starks, Solwold and Heath have all finished inside the top 10 in eight of nine. Stark and Heath both have seven top fives, while Solwold has five.
The Hornets have returned to racing since their last event on July 25 and 26 for the Hornet Nationals. Steve Peters won the opening night after starting 11th, but it was Howard Vos who got the win on night two. Peters started on the pole for the final night and led the first lap before Vos, (who finished third the night before) passed him on the outside while going down the back straightaway. Peters finished third after getting passed by Bryce Kolar for second.
Until that weekend, there had yet to be a repeat winner in the Hornet Division, but now both Vos and Peters have two wins this year. Vos leads the points battle with 678 points over second place Bryce Kolar, who has 563 (-115) points, and Braxton Housman, is third with 537 (-141) points. The Hornets have raced six times total this year at Skagit and Vos has yet to finish outside the top five while Kolar has yet to finish outside the top 10 in the five features he has raced in.

Placerville Speedway hosts Kubota High Limit Racing this Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The High Rollers of Kubota High Limit Racing make their much-anticipated return to Placerville Speedway this Saturday August 16th, when the annual “49er Gold Rush Classic” invades the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.
Grass Valley native and current Placerville resident Brad Sweet brings the point lead into the West Coast Swing.
Sweet has a trio wins on the competitive Kubota High Limit Racing trail and sits atop the standings over Indianapolis, Indiana’s Tyler Courtney; Clute, Texas’ Aaron Reutzel; Knoxville Nationals runner up Rico Abreu and Myerstown, Pennsylvania’s Brent Marks.
With both Courtney and Reutzel sidelined due to unfortunate injuries, California favorites Giovanni Scelzi and Justin Sanders are set to pilot the NOS Energy Drink No. 7BC and RSR No. 87 respectively. Sanders brought home a runner up result last season with High Limit Racing in Placerville.
Clovis driver Corey Day won the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway in 2022 and hopes to add the 49er Gold Rush Classic on Saturday. The two-time Gold Cup champ ran third at the event last year and is fresh off a sixth-place effort at the Knoxville Nationals.
The ever-popular James McFadden was the man who captured the 49er Gold Rush Classic last season and returns on Saturday aboard the Tarlton & Son No. 21 mount. The Alice Springs, Northern Territory driver recently claimed glory at the Capitani Classic in Knoxville, Iowa.
Additional drivers looking to punch their ticket to victory lane this Saturday will include past 49er Gold Rush Classic winner Shane Golobic of Fremont, along with Monrovia, Indiana’s Justin Peck; Minden, Nevada’s Tanner Thorson; Waco, Texas’ Chase Randall; Auburn’s Andy Forsberg; Bradway Memorial winner Dominic Gorden from Clovis; Suisun, City’s Chance Grasty; Jacksonville, Oregon’s Tanner Holmes; Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery; Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi; Locust Grove, Oklahoma’s Daison Pursley and more.
The 49er Gold Rush Classic begins the final stretch of the Sprint Car season at Placerville Speedway. After this weekend, only two more Sprint Car races remain in 2025.
The high banked bullring will play host to the NARC 410 Sprint Cars during the Pay Dirt Showdown presented by Sierra Nevada Brewing on September 6th. One week later we then finish off the championship point race campaign with the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic on September 13th.
“There are some big events coming up at Placerville Speedway and we hope to see a packed house at each one,” said Promoter Scott Russell. “Everybody is excited to have Kubota High Limit Racing and all the national stars here on Saturday. Then in September we have the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, followed by the Forni-Humphreys Classic, which celebrates its 20th anniversary. We definitely want to finish off the 60th season here in style and it all begins this weekend.”
The Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints will be the companion division on Saturday.

Dodson scores 2025’s first PASS three-peat
08-11-2025
Doug Dodson became the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series’ first three-time winner Saturday night with a wire-to-wire victory in the extra-purse 25-lap feature race at Path Valley Speedway.
The veteran racer from Middletown, who also owns wins in other sprint divisions and super sportsman cars, won his heat race in George Stevens’ PowerMist Racing Fuels/Down East Granite/Crockett Log Homes #20. He then drew the feature pole position and jumped out to the initial lead, but after a late caution, he had to fight off a determined bid from Kyle Hart of Thompsontown to hold onto the win.
The checkered flag made him PASS’s winningest driver so far in 2025, ahead of four other two-time winners and seven racers with a single win.
The victory also earned Dodson one of the season’s biggest paydays for the PASS racers, as Path Valley co-promoter and veterinarian Dr. Zach Crouse had increased the purse for last month’s Dr. Crouse’s Night of Power program. That race was rained out and rescheduled for Saturday night, which was another Dr. Crouse promotion.
Hart, who had started fourth in the feature, quickly moved into third, then second after six laps, but Dodson had built a large lead and wasn’t hampered when the leaders entered traffic after 10 laps.
Then Hunter McFadden of Waynesboro, who had been running seventh, got into the second turn fence to bring out the race’s only caution flag with 11 laps to go. On the restart, Dodson pulled away again, but this time Hart began cutting into the lead and made a serious run on the final lap.
It wasn’t enough, and Dodson won by .342 seconds. Mike Koehler of Montoursville, who stayed in the top five all race in Jesse Storm’s #97S (the Kenny Heffner team car), finished third, with IMCA/RaceSaver national points leader Timmy Bittner of Beech Creek fourth, and PASS points leader Kruz Kepner of Kreamer fifth, after a late pass for that spot.
Jarrett Cavalet, Mike Melair, Kenny Heffner, Drew Young, and Mike Alleman completed the top ten.
Melair, who had started 15th, earned the $100 Farner’s Racing Collectibles Hard Charger Award. Cavalet would have taken the award had he not been passed for fifth place by Kepner near the race’s end.
McFadden earned Dr. Crouse’s Hard Luck Award after his crash, and Jerald Harris won the BrokersRealty.com Driver Spotlight Award by having his starting position chosen at random by a fan.
The win was Dodson’s 12th in a River Valley Builders PASS career that dates back to 2019, and it came exactly six years to the date after his first win in the series, also at the Spring Run bullring. It was his fourth Path Valley win overall, which trails only Ryan Lynn (who races mostly with the Laurel Highlands Sprint Series these days) among active drivers at the track.
Dodson’s other 2025 wins have come on the big half-miles at Selinsgrove and Port Royal, and his next-winningest track is the intermediate BAPS Motor Speedway, showing his versatility behind the wheel.
Dodson and Hart took the heat victories for the 18-car field and also earned payout bonuses, thanks to Dr. Crouse. The second heat was run non-stop, and the first had a single caution when Kepner and Melair tangled, but both were able to rejoin the field.
Next weekend’s River Valley Builders PASS action will take place on Friday night at Selinsgrove Speedway, the first of two straight weeks without Saturday racing; the following weekend features racing at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday night.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

Justyn Cox gives Bates-Hamilton Racing first victory of 2025
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates Hamilton Racing have persevered through adversity at times this season. On Saturday night at Placerville Speedway however, it all came together with Cox guiding the Berco Redwood No. 42x to his first triumph of 2025.
“It felt great to knock one off and be reminded that I can still drive a car,” Cox said. “It’s been a mental hurdle since I was hurt last year. Running part time and locally was because of how I felt mentally and physically, so I wanted to dip my toes back in and see where I was at.”
Cox began the penultimate point race of the Placerville campaign on Saturday by timing in third overall, with a lap of 10.716 around the quarter mile.
In his heat race the 31-year-old was up to the challenge, as he charged from outside row two for the victory. By what is considered “striking gold” in the Pville format, he automatically earned the pole position in the main event.
Things took a while to get going in the Red Hawk Casino Night feature, as the first four attempts drew cautions to slow the roll. When the main event finally went green Cox jumped out front and held the field at bay.
The 2023 SCCT champion drove a near flawless race to lead all 25-laps en route to the Ed Entz checkered flag. It marked his 13th career Winged 360 Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway, giving him sole possession of 14th all-time.
”Winning a race after such a struggle this year, some in part to me, other parts due to bad circumstances or luck, felt very vindicating,” stated Cox. “I am super thankful to get another win. They are getting harder to come by these days, as everyone is so good right now.”
Next up for Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing is the 20th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic at Placerville Speedway on September 13th. It marks the final night of point racing during the Berco Redwood championship season.
Cox has captured the event twice before and hopes to do so again next month.
“I’m excited for the Forni-Humphreys Classic. I would love to win a third one, which would mean even more now with CJ’s name attached to it. I miss him a lot, he will forever be my pit neighbor, and I hope to add my name to the list again in honor of him.”

Tony Gomes Charges To Second Place Finish and Holds Points Lead Heading Into September Finale
PETERSEN MEDIA- Tony Gomes and the C&M Motorsports team moved one step closer to their first Placerville Speedway track championship on Saturday night as Gomes charged to a second-place finish in the feature event and kept his slim point lead with just one point event left on the schedule.
“After timing in poorly, I am really happy with how we rebounded and to come away with a second place finish is awesome,” Tony Gomes said. “Thankful that Cody and Bobby never gave up, and we ended up with a great night.”
Going out early in the qualifying session, Gomes timed the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c in 14thfastest in qualifying time trials. Putting him in the second row of his heat race, the Modesto, CA driver did all he could to try and solidify himself a spot in the nightly redraw, but a second place finish was not enough.
Lining up 10th in the feature event, Gomes survived the several incidents on the initial start of the race. Once the green flag flew and the race finally got underway, Gomes worked his way into sixth.
On the slick surface, he ran in sixth for the first six laps of the race until he made a big-time move in turns three and four to advance from sixth to fourth. Getting strong with each passing lap, Gomes took over third on the 13th lap, and then was able to power his way into second with just three laps left in the feature event.
One final restart put Gomes on the rear bumper of race long leader, Justyn Cox, as he hoped to make a bid for another Placerville Speedway win. When the green lights were displayed, Cox nailed his restart and got away from Gomes. Though he made it as close as he could on the last lap, Gomes was able to add to his point total as he picked up a second place finish and finds himself atop the standings by three points heading into the finale next month.
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports is idle this week, but do return to action on Wednesday, August 20th to open the Gold Cup Race of Champions.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-20, Wins-3, Top 5’s-10, Top 10’s-13

Andy Forsberg 4th at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Bouncing back from a part failure at Placerville Speedway just one week ago, Andy Forsberg raced his way to a fourth-place finish and kept his Track Championship hopes alive with just one points paying event left on the 2025 schedule.
“It was a odd night for us,” Andy Forsberg said. “It wasn’t a bad night as we ran fourth, but nothing seemed to go our way or fall in our favor. Hopefully we can continue to have speed like we have all year and have some better luck this week when High Limit comes to town.”
With 24 cars on hand for the track’s penultimate regular season race, Forsberg timed the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed NO. 92 entry in fourth quickest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the fourth starting spot of his heat race, a botched start moved Forsberg into the third spot for the second attempted start and the bottom was not the groove to be in for heat race action.
Picking up a third place finish in heat race competition, Forsberg was locked into the feature event, and the redraw due to his qualifying effort, but the vaunted eighth pill placed him in the fourth row for the 25-lap affair.
The race got off to a tough start as it took four attempts to finally get to green flag action. In each botched start, Forsberg was able to get up into third and fourth, but after the third failed attempt to start the race, officials put the field in single file formation which saw Forsberg back in eighth.
As the action came to life, Forsberg was stuck in a battle for sixth and couldn’t seem to shake Shane Hopkins and Michael Sellers as they battled hard around the ¼ mile bullring.
Once he was able to get a little space, he made a couple of nice moves to work into the Top-Five but time was running out. Racing into fourth, Forsberg capped the night off there when the Ed Entz checkered flag flew over the track.
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-34, Wins-8, Top 5’s-21, Top 10’s-24
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team are set to return to Placerville Speedway on Saturday nigh to take on the Kubot High Limit Racing Series.

Swanson Dominates USAC Silver Crown’s Return to Salem
In Doran Binks Racing’s Mission Foods No. 77;
He Leads All 100 Laps from the Pole Saturday Night
For His Sixth Straight Victory There
SALEM, Ind., Aug. 11 — It didn’t matter that there hadn’t been a USAC Silver Crown race at Salem Speedway in five years. Kody Swanson picked up right where he left off and won the pole, led all 100 laps, and took the checkered flag with a 10.522-second margin of victory in the series’ return to the high banks of Salem Saturday night.
It was his sixth such victory on the 0.555-mile paved oval with 33 degrees of banking in the turns, as he also won the USAC Silver Crown races at Salem in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. In fact, only one other driver has won a USAC Silver Crown race at this track — Bob Frey in 1988.
It tied the record for the most consecutive USAC Silver Crown wins by a single driver at one track, equaling another record Swanson owns with his six victories at Toledo Speedway.
On Saturday night the eight-time and defending series champion did the trick in Doran Binks Racing’s Mission Foods No. 77, which is powered by a Doran-prepped Toyota engine and also carries support from Glenn Farms and Wilke Orthodontics.
The winningest driver in USAC Silver Crown history, Swanson can also hold claim to the title “The King of the High Banks.” In addition to his dominating performance Saturday night, in June he recorded his sixth overall and fourth straight victory on the high banks of a similar track, Winchester Speedway.
On Saturday things couldn’t have gone any better for Swanson, a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Brownsburg, Ind., and the Lebanon, Ohio-based Doran Binks Racing team.
Their car led both practice sessions, won the pole with a new track record, and dominated the race.
Swanson extended his record as the winningest driver in series history with his 48th career win and his 58th career pole.
Justin Grant was a very distant second in the race followed by Dakoda Armstrong, C.J. Leary, and Nathan Byrd. Swanson lapped through sixth place, which went to Kyle Steffens.
The start of the race was delayed approximately 32 minutes after Leary reported to the work area with a problem with his car’s right-front shock and there was a medical emergency in the grandstands. Leary was supposed to start third, but he had to go to the rear of the field for the start due to the problem.
That vaulted Grant up to fourth for the start and he had a good one, advancing to second on the first lap by passing Armstrong and Mario Clouser. Grant ran in second place the whole race but couldn’t catch Swanson. Grant stayed fairly close in the early going but Swanson already had over a 1-second lead by lap 22.
There were two yellows which gave Grant opportunities on restarts, but Swanson was up to the challenge. The first yellow flew on lap 25 when Billy Wease, who had been tenth, slowed on the frontstretch. Swanson had over a 1-second lead at the time.
The second caution flew on lap 39 when Clouser, who was third at the time, tried to pass Grant but spun in Turn 1 and Grant had to take evasive action. Clouser was left stopped backwards on the track but got turned around and restarted, but he later retired with 74 laps complete. That yellow erased Swanson’s 1.377-second lead over Grant.
Swanson set the fastest lap of anyone in the race on lap 46 with a time of 16.783 seconds. Clouser, who qualified second, was second in that category with a 16.903 on lap seven.
Swanson had a 1.435-second lead when he set his fastest race lap, and a 1.691-second advantage at the halfway point.
But two laps later he had already built his advantage to over 2 seconds, and he was able to pad that to over 3 seconds by lap 73. He increased his edge to 4.032 seconds on lap 84; 5.002 seconds on lap 91; 6.483 seconds on lap 93; 7.031 seconds on lap 94; 8.524 seconds on lap 97; 9.523 seconds on lap 99, and 10.522 seconds on lap 100.
Swanson won the pole when his first of two qualifying laps was timed in 15.809 seconds, establishing a new track record for an average speed of 126.384 miles per hour. Clouser was second with a 16.187, followed by Leary, Armstrong and Grant.
Swanson also held the previous one-lap USAC Silver Crown track record here with a 15.923 (125.479 mph) set on Aug. 12, 2017. It was his sixth straight pole at this track, as he was also the fastest qualifier at the other USAC Silver Crown races he won here.
Swanson also topped both of the practice sessions before qualifying with laps in 15.931 and 16.407 seconds.
It was Doran Binks Racing and Swanson’s fourth pole and third win of the season.
“You race each other but you also race the racetrack,” Swanson noted in victory lane. “Even there at the end you can’t take any corners off, just because it’s too easy to make a mistake here.
“I’m grateful Doran Binks Racing gave me a great car,” he added. “I’m so grateful for everyone on this team, and for our sponsors. Kevin Doran leads us, and Dan Binks and Ken Keilholz help make it possible, along with Mission Foods, Glenn Farms, Wilke Orthodontics, and Rosewood Machine and Tool. I’m grateful for everyone on this team, like Jason and Dave on the crew and my friend Ryan Roberts, who came down to help us today. My wife, Jordan, does a great job spotting. And I’m grateful for our product sponsors too, like TJ Forged, All Star Performance, FK Rod Ends, Duncan Fuel and Oil; it’s a special group.”
At 100 laps, this race was the longest USAC Silver Crown race ever held at Salem, so Swanson got the automatic track record for the distance too.
“It’s the most fuel we’ve had on board here, and managing things as the fuel load burned off was challenging,” he said. “This track has a lot of character. There are some washboard spots in Turns 3 and 4, and if you time it wrong with the pedals it can upset your car, so I tried to be aware of that throughout the race. We had a long run there at the end.
“There are a lot of great cars in this series, so it’s gratifying to come home first,” he added. “It’s a special day.”
The race was streamed live by Flo Racing.

Schatz advances nine positions to finish 11th in Knoxville Nationals
A-Main
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 11, 2025
2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Standings: 6th | 5782 [-506]
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 11, 2025) – Although unable to collect a 12th Knoxville Nationals championship on Saturday, August 9, Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) did the next best thing and put on a show, advancing nine positions in the 50-lap, $195,000-to-win Knoxville Nationals A-Main to finish 11th.
For Schatz, ace of Tony Stewart’s Hire Heroes USA, Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, No. 15 sprint car, the A-Main advance wasn’t his only display of perseverance, technically launching Saturday’s Knoxville Nationals finale with a hard-fought battle from 11th to fourth in the evening’s B, which ultimately solidified his row ten spot in the 50-lapper. It was a fifth-place finish in Friday’s Hard Knox last chance qualifier A-Main – forced to compete in the program due to a small point total following his Wednesday preliminary – that allowed Schatz to start 11th in Saturday’s B-Main.
Speaking of Hard Knox, Schatz’ impressive passing run technically commenced from there, advancing from 15th to finish the aforementioned fifth-place – one spot short of a top-four transfer position which would have locked Schatz into Saturday’s finale A-Main.
As noted, Schatz entered Knoxville Raceway’s historic gates as an 11-time Knoxville Nationals champion with his most recent title attained in 2022. Impressive enough, the Fargo, North Dakota, native won his first 10 titles in 12 tries.
ON DECK:
Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will continue their 2025
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with starts at Ogilvie Raceway

Double-D caps Knoxville Nationals in Saturday’s B-Main; Selinsgrove and
Port Royal on deck
August 11, 2025
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 11, 2025) – “Double-D” Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing represented the Pennsylvania Posse fanbase well in their Knoxville Nationals campaign, not only capping all action with a B-Main appearance on Saturday, August 9, but opening competition with an 11th-place finish in Wednesday’s preliminary A-Main. The Wednesday effort was enough to keep Dietrich from competing in Friday’s Hard Knox last chance qualifier.
Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, raced on to finish eighth in Saturday’s finale B-Main, commencing action from one spot further back. The eight-time feature winner in 2025 needed to finish fourth or better to qualify for the 50-lap, $195,000-to-win Knoxville Nationals A-Main.
Dietrich is a prior Knoxville Nationals A-Main starter.
“We gave it all we had,” Dietrich said. “Our goal was to get ourselves locked into Saturday. We would have rather been locked into the A, but to lock into the B-Main was just as motivating. It was a fun week but I’m glad to be home. Can’t thank all of my guys enough for their hard work this week. The Nationals is tough and it’s easy to get buried, but we made the most of it. Back to work Friday at Selinsgrove.”

STAYING POSITIVE: Justin Whittall enjoys Knoxville experience despite abrupt ending
ByTyler Altmeyer August 11, 2025
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (August 11, 2025) – Despite a sudden ending to their Knoxville Nationals campaign, retiring Friday following a violent Hard Knox A-Main incident that sent the New Jersey wheelman to a Des Moines hospital for further evaluation, Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports made the most of their visit to the Sprint Car Capital of the World, already eager to get back and try again.

“I’m here for the laps,” Whittall, ace of his own RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, said during his visit to Knoxville. “This place is…different. So different than anything I’ve ever been on. Despite what happened, the experience has been great. Obviously we wanted the opportunity to race again on Saturday, but with so much at stake back in Pennsylvania, we decided it was best to pack up and get the team back home. We’ll get back to Knoxville at some point.”
Despite his abrupt ending on Friday, there were plenty of shining moments leading up to Whittall’s accident. The recent Port Royal Speedway winner and current track championship leader won his respective Hard Knox B-Main, launching his entire Knoxville Nationals campaign with a B-Main start in Wednesday’s preliminary.
Prior to his road trip to Knoxville Raceway, Whittall competed within his “home” circuit in Central Pennsylvania, highlighting all recent attempts with a sixth-place performance at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, August 2; his track championship point lead stands at 125 markers.

By Fully Injected Motorsports:
ODESSA, Mo. (August 11, 2025) – In all, it was a smooth and competitive effort for Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) at the 64th Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway, and although the team was forced to cap their four-day campaign with a 19th-place effort in Saturday’s C-Main, there were plenty of shining moments in between, one of which an impressive rally in Friday’s Hard Knox B.
Xavier, ace of the Doney-Lawson Racing, Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter, finished eighth in his respective Hard Knox B-Main appearance, cruising ahead from 17th to do so.

Xavier Doney, rejoining teammate and younger sister Natalie Doney, will continue their 2025 campaign with a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League triple through Kansas and Missouri on Friday through Sunday, August 15-17.

MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (August 11, 2025) – It was a hard-fought four days at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, and although his tenure at TKS Motorsports has been short, filling in for the injured Ian Madsen, open wheel legend Brooke Tatnell did his best to keep the team in contention, ultimately closing out the 64th running of the Knoxville Nationals with a Saturday C-Main start – a feat of its own.
“We want to thank Brooke (Tatnell) for stepping in for us.

As noted, Brooke Tatnell and TKS Motorsports concluded their Knoxville Nationals run at the famed Knoxville Raceway with a C-Main appearance, finishing 16th in the final rundown. The team out of Mitchellville, Iowa, opened the four-day blockbuster with a B-Main start on Wednesday, August 6.
“The plan is to join the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Ogilvie and Jackson, but we’re not quite sure who’s going to be driving,” Renfo added. “We’ll have those details ironed out by midweek.”

BECOMING ACCLIMATED: Sanders to continue Reutzel
substitution with High Limit starts in California
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 11, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 11, 2025) – Despite making his Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) debut during the most competitive week of the season, Knoxville Raceway’s 360 Nationals and Knoxville Nationals, Aromas, California’s Justin Sanders has adapted well, guiding Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Power Plus No. 87 to 360 Nationals and Capitani Classic A-Main starts, all before capping their ten-day stretch with a Knoxville Nationals C-Main start on Saturday, August 9. Sanders, filling in for the injured Aaron Reutzel, will continue his RSR tenure Friday, August 15, at the legendary Thunderbowl Raceway.
“What he’s been forced to do is not easy, but we appreciate his hard work and focus. Justin (Sanders) is a talented race car driver and he’s doing an excellent job,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, noted. “He’s going to be our main man as Aaron (Reutzel) continues to recover. He’s very competitive in California, and with our schedule heading that direction, I’m confident big things are ahead.”
As noted, Justin Sanders and RSR capped their ten-day stretch in Knoxville, Iowa, with a C-Main start on Saturday, August 9, rallying from tenth to finish fifth. Despite their grand attempt, it was just short of where they needed, as only four made the cut to the evening’s B-Main. Sanders launched his Knoxville Nationals preliminary effort with the 11th-fastest time on Wednesday; his evening ended in the B-Main.
“It was a great week at Knoxville,” Ridge continued. “It’s a tough ten days, but the team performed. Now our focus returns to High Limit and California.”

SUPER DIRTCAR SERIES TO RETURN TO SHARON ON MONDAY AFTER AN 8-YEAR ABSENCE; $10,000 TO-WIN FOR BIG-BLOCK MODS PLUS "410" SPRINTS; APPEARANCE BY RYAN BLANEY
August 7, 2025
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)…After a “Steel Valley Thunder” event on Saturday at Sharon Speedway, it’ll be a quick turnaround as the Super DIRTcar Series for Big-Block Modifieds will roll into the Hartford, Ohio oval on Monday night (August 11) for the $10,000 to-win “Steel Valley 75”! Also, the two-division blockbuster show will include the Hovis Auto & Truck "410" Sprint Cars racing for $4,000 to-win. The event is presented by Capital Renegade Custom Coaches and Trailers along with support from Al Heinke, Thermo Supply, Russ King Racing, King Sanitary, and King Bros. Warmups will follow motor heat for the Sprints, which is scheduled for 6:25 p.m., followed by qualifying with racing set for 7:30 p.m.
Ryan Blaney, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Champion, will participate in a “Racing into Kindness” themed Question & Answer Session part of the “Willy’s World” Kids Club presented by Millcraft Barns activities. The Q&A Session will take place behind the main grandstands in the Fan Zone from approximately 5:45 to 6:15 p.m. Blaney, who last competed at Sharon during the SRX race in 2022, will also offer insight during the broadcast of the racing program.
Prior to the Q&A Session, “Flaggin’ with Farney” will take place during the Willy’s World Kids Club Pre-Show at 5:15 p.m. Legendary Super DIRTcar Series flagman, Dave Farney, will teach kids the art of flagging, and Super DIRTcar Series flags will be handed out to children who participate.
The “Steel Valley 75” will mark the third all-time visit to Sharon by the Super DIRTcar Series, the premier traveling Big-Block Modified tour in the world. In 2016, Jimmy Phelps topped a 52-car field for $6,000 in their first race in the western Pa./eastern Ohio region since 2006. In 2017, Australian Peter Britten drove from the 20th starting spot to take the lead on lap 54 and went on to his first career SDS win, worth $6,000. Prior to the 2016 event, the last time Sharon hosted a major Big-Block Modified event that attracted the Northeast's best was back in 1983 when Alan Johnson won a CRC Super DIRT Syracuse Qualifying Series event.
Sharon was to host a Super DIRTcar event again in 2019 paying $7,500 to-win, but Mother Nature washed out the show. Monday’s event will pay $10,000 to-win easily making it the richest race in the history of Big-Block Modified racing at Sharon! Sharon has hosted 645 Big-Block Modified races all-time with 98 different winners. Thus far this season, Garrett Krummert won on June 21 and Dalton Slack won last Saturday’s “Lou Blaney Memorial” for his first career Sharon win as he took $4,100 back to Canada. The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds are also scheduled to compete on Saturday (August 9).
Defending $60,000 Super DIRTcar Series Champion, Mat Willimson, currently leads the points by 13 over eastern Pennsylvania racer Alex Yankowski. Matt Sheppard is third and leads the way with three Series victories. Alex Payne is fourth in points. Erick Rudolph, who is no stranger to Sharon with seven career victories including three “Lou Blaney Memorial” wins, is fifth in points. Sixth through 10th in points are Mike Mahaney, Felix Roy, Britten, Jack Lehner, and Anthony Perrego.
For the first time, the "410" Sprint Cars will join the card with the Super DIRTcar Series; in fact, this is the only time all season that “410s” will be part of a Super DIRTcar Series event with the exception of the “World Finals” at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in November! The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply “410” Sprints will compete in a $4,000 to-win/$400 to-start event. There will be warmups with the Sprints; however, due to time constraints and being a midweek event, there will be no group qualifying. The heat races will be lined up by a pill draw.
Sharon has completed just four "410" Sprint Car events thus far in 2025 as the World of Outlaws, Western PA Speedweek, and the Ohio Speedweek All Star Circuit of Champions events unfortunately all fell victim to Mother Nature in addition to the July 26 Bala Management "Super Series" event. A.J. Flick ended a two-and-a-half-year winless drought at Sharon winning the May 10 opener. Dale Blaney then won the next two events aboard his brother Dave’s famous red #10. And most recently, Danny Dietrich won the $13,000 “Lou Blaney Memorial” last Saturday night.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award to the Sprint Cars. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature.
Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modified Payoff: 1. $10,000 2. $5,000 3. $2,500 4. $1,800 5. $1,600 6. $1,400 7. $1,300 8. $1,200 9. $1,100 10. $1,000 11. $800 12. $700 13. $600 14. $575 15. $550 16. $525 17-24. $400. 25-26. Provisionals paid 27-28. Provisionals non-paid.

Brody Roa Looking Forward to Calistoga Doubleheader on Labor Day Weekend
Cypress, CA – August 7, 2025 — 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa is eager to be part of the long-awaited return of the Louie Vermeil Classic at the historic Calistoga Speedway on August 30th and 31st. The 14th running of the prestigious event will mark the grand re-opening of the iconic track, which has been dormant since 2019.
Roa, one of the most respected and consistent drivers on the West Coast, is currently seeking someone with a 410 engine to install in his own chassis or is open to driving someone else’s competitive ride for the weekend doubleheader.
Opened in 1937, Calistoga Speedway is one of the most picturesque and fastest half-mile dirt ovals in the country. Like many drivers, Roa has been anxiously waiting for its return. His recent results at the track back up his enthusiasm: from 2017 to 2019, Roa started all six USAC/CRA main events held at Calistoga, recording five top-10 finishes, including two top-fives.
“It’s a pretty historic track,” Roa said. “In the years I’ve been racing, it’s definitely my favorite track in California. It’s big, fast, and wide—it puts on great racing. It’s the fastest track I’ve raced on in the state.”
So far in 2025, Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, has primarily focused on the USAC/CRA Series, collecting five top-10 finishes in seven starts using a Dash 12 engine. While that powerplant works well on smaller tracks, Roa is looking for more horsepower to tackle Calistoga’s demanding high-speed layout.
“I’m open to either option,” Roa explained. “We could bring our car up with a stronger engine, or I’d be happy to jump into a competitive ride. Calistoga is back, and I don’t want to miss it. If someone has a ride open—or a 410 they’d like to drop into my car and put their name on the hood—I’m ready.”
Beyond the racing, Roa and his wife, Tailor, have always enjoyed the trip to Calistoga, located in Northern California’s scenic wine country. This year’s event will be extra special, as it will mark the first visit for daughters Addison and Rylee.
“Tailor and I always loved going up there—not just for the racing but for everything the area has to offer,” Roa shared. “The last time we went was in 2019 before the girls were born. So, this will be a fun family adventure having them along with us.”
Interested in teaming up with Brody Roa for Calistoga? Contact him directly at 714-932-7994 or via email at brodyroa91@gmail.com.
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERES
FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 2025
There are 26,000 reasons for teams to contest the 2025-26 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series.
That is because the overall champion next season will receive a $26,000 payout at the end of the season – as part of the 26th season of the series in Western Australia that is co-ordinated by the Sprintcar Entrants Group (SEG).
The championship will be determined over 23 rounds, starting at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday, October 18.
SEG chairman Geoff Kendrick said the decision to increase the overall champion payout from $25,000 to $26,000 was a unanimous decision by the SEG board.
This will be part of more than $200,000 in end of season payouts and contingencies that drivers in the series will benefit from.
“The board has been working on a lot of different things in the off-season and the easiest decision we have had to make was to increase this payout,” Kendrick said.
“The SEG is always looking at ways to improve the series, for the benefit of the competitors, host venues and race fans.
“We are pleased to have 18 rounds of the series back at one
of the best speedway venues in the world – the Perth Motorplex, to help us
showcase what we believe is one of the best domestic sprintcar competitions
in the world.
“Thank you to Perth Motorplex general manager Gavin Migro and his team for their co-ordination of the calendar.”
On top of that, the series will also be heading to regional WA for five events – Albany Speedway, Bunbury Speedway, two nights at Geraldton City Speedway and one at Kalgoorlie International Speedway.
Kendrick said taking the series to these key regional tracks was a strategic decision to further grow sprintcar racing in Western Australia.
“And regional WA has a long-standing tradition of producing
some of the best sprintcar racers here in WA, so it made sense to give back
to these country areas,” he said.
“It not only exposes people living in the country to the highest level of sprintcar racing, but it also increases brand awareness for our series and our corporate partners, headed up of course by Maddington Toyota.
“Without the support of Maddington Toyota, this series would
not be enjoying the success it currently enjoys.
“We will have more to say about all of our series sponsors
closer to the season, as well as some other exciting developments.”

By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. is pleased to announce there will be extra purse money handed out to the Winged 360 Sprint Cars and Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars this Saturday at Placerville Speedway in memory of the late Don London.
London, the former owner of Capital Ace Hardware and long-time friend to Placerville Speedway, passed away earlier this year. During his Celebration of Life, it was asked that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made instead to hold a memorial race in his honor.
With that said, this Saturday August 9th we pay tribute to Don with additional money up for grabs to the Thompson’s Winged 360 Sprint Cars and Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars.

The Dwarf Car main event will award as follows: $500-to-win, $300 for second, $200 for third, $175 for fourth and $150 for fifth.
“Don London was a great friend, supporter and a big part of what we do at Placerville Speedway,” commented track Promoter Scott Russell. “We want to thank everyone that donated money to do this race in his honor. It will be a special night to remember Don and his legacy.”
A memorial lap will be conducted for Don following opening ceremonies, with Andy Gregg climbing aboard the Scott Russell No. 14r Sprint Car and Shawn Whitney in the No. 15 Dwarf Car doing the honors.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Set to Return to Action at Perris,
Calistoga, and Placerville
Chino Hills, CA — August 4, 2025 — After a brief summer
break, Eddie Tafoya Jr. is ready to get back behind the wheel when the
Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto
Speedway on Saturday, August 16th. The race marks the beginning of a busy
late-summer schedule for the driver of the Specialty Fasteners #51T.
Following the Perris event, Tafoya and the team will head north for one of the most anticipated weekends in recent sprint car history — the grand re-opening of the legendary Calistoga Speedway on August 30th and 31st. The doubleheader promises to be a major highlight on the USAC/CRA calendar. Then, on September 1st, Tafoya will cap off the Labor Day holiday weekend by competing with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Placerville Speedway.
Prior to the break, Tafoya raced at his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, on July 19th — just 10 days after celebrating his 28th birthday. Though the final result wasn’t what he’d hoped for, the Southern California veteran showed speed and poise throughout the night.
He qualified a strong seventh fastest out of 21 cars with a lap of 16.875. In his heat race, the 2018 PAS Young Gun Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year started and finished fourth in a stacked field. That set him up in the seventh position for the 30-lap main event.
In front of the second-largest crowd of the season, Tafoya jumped into a fierce battle for fifth place early in the main. Showing the speed to challenge for a top-four spot, his momentum was unfortunately stalled by lapped traffic. After clearing a slower car, Tafoya’s night took an unfortunate turn when he came to a stop in turn one, ending his charge.
Despite the setback, Tafoya’s performance showed his car and confidence are in the right place heading into the late-season stretch.
“I just have to eliminate the mistakes and figure how to get around traffic when it gets slick like that,” Tafoya said. “I was dealing with traffic and switching lines every lap. The lapper would go to where I switched to. I was just kind of going back and forth. I finally got a good run down the front straight. I just held it on a little longer than I should have just to get around the lapper. Then I got in the slick and locked up the brakes and slid to a stop.”
Forced to restart at the back of the field with only limited laps remaining, the odds were stacked against him. But Tafoya wasn’t done. He mounted a determined comeback, charging through the field and clawing his way back to a 10th-place finish at the checkered flag — a clear indicator of the team’s pace and persistence.
“I thought for a second there we were going to start on the front row again (after qualifying), but we missed it by .01,” Tafoya commented about the night of racing. “That definitely could have changed the way that main event went for us.”
“I am happy with the speed, and I think I have been driving good,” he continued. “I just have to focus and put it all together on the same night. I have been trying to put myself in a good position and we have been doing that lately. Part of it is mental and part is car set up and stuff like that. Knowing that you have enough to be up there, we have definitely been showing that lately.”
Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51.
Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

Heated championship race converges at Placerville Speedway for Red Hawk Casino Night
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The championship fight is heating up and nearing its conclusion at Placerville Speedway, with the penultimate point race of the season taking place during Red Hawk Resort + Casino Night this Saturday August 9th.
Following Saturday’s event, the final point race of the campaign will occur during the 20th annual Mark Forni/ CJ Humphreys Classic. The much-anticipated show on September 13th will hand out a solid $8,500-to-win for the Thompson’s Winged 360 Sprint Cars.
Sandwiched between the final point races are a pair of special events featuring Kubota High Limit Racing next week and the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series on September 6th. Reserved tickets can be purchased for the High Limit 49er Gold Rush Classic via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr081625
“We are getting down to the wire on the season but still have some pretty large events remaining at Placerville Speedway,” said Promoter Scott Russell. “Our entire staff looks forward to Red Hawk Casino Night on Saturday and then the High Limit Racing show on August 16th. We hope everybody can make it out and help us finish the season in style.”
Just eight slim points separate the top four drivers in the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car standings going into Saturday. Modesto’s Tony Gomes has put together a consistent campaign and possesses a one-point lead over last season’s Rookie of the Year Austin Wood.
Gomes has piloted the C&M Motorsports No. 7c to a pair of wins, while Wood is searching for his initial triumph of the year at Red Hawk Casino Night. The driver of the CR Wood Motorsports No. 2a has racked up several qualifying points in recent weeks with multiple ADCO Driveline Fast Time Awards.
Previous point leader Andy Forsberg hopes to rebound after issues sidelined him while sitting out front last week. The Auburn driver has guided the Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 to a trio of point race wins and is tied with Gomes for the most top five efforts, having accumulated seven in the 10 events.
Suisun City’s Chance Grasty also has the Friends & Family Racing X1 within striking distance of another track title. The 18-year-old goes into Red Hawk Casino Night sitting eight markers back in fourth. Grasty earned his initial Placerville Speedway win during SCCT Speedweek recently.
Yuba City’s Rod Oliver has extended his Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model point lead to 27 digits heading into the penultimate race. Oliver is in search of his first track championship at Placerville Speedway.
Oakley’s Nick Baldwin is looking for a sixth straight Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock track title and number seven overall. He leads Kevin Jinkerson by 35 points going into Saturday. The Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars will round out the card, as they also make their next to last appearance of the season.
Voted Sacramento’s Best Casino, Red Hawk boasts magnificent views and a natural setting and provides a first-class gaming experience. Located on a beautiful hilltop less than 20 minutes east of Sacramento on Highway 50, Red Hawk is the gamblers oasis with more than 2,500 slots, a variety of table games and award-winning dining.

Chance Grasty Fourth at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to action on Saturday fresh off an idle weekend, Chance Grasty and the F&F Racing team put themselves right in the thick of Placerville Speedway track championship battle by way of a fourth-place finish in the feature event.
“Our night started out rough going out late for time trials, and with the track surface we didn’t time in well at all,” Chance Grasty said. “Luckily, we raced extremely well, and our heat race put us in a great spot for the feature and we were able to capitalize.”
Timing in 14th fastest of the 23 cars checked into the pit area, Grasty lined the Bushey Financial Services/C&H Motor Parts/Sierra Single Ply Roofing backed entry up in the third row of his heat race.
On the extremely slick surface, the Suisun City, CA driver was up on the wheel as he made some big moves to work his way forward. Racing his way all the way up to a second place finish, Grasty was locked into the fourth row for the 25-lap feature event.
Taking the green from eighth, Grasty slipped back on the reworked surface as he spent the first portion of the feature event fighting to get into the Top-10 as he was back in 11th.
With 10-laps to go in the race, Grasty came to life as the track started to slick back off and widen out. Jumping into ninth on the 14th lap, Grasty worked his way into eighth on the 19th lap.
Some wild antics took place just ahead of him on the 20th lap and it moved into up into fifth for a late restart. When the race resumed, Grasty was able to get another spot and pocket a fourth place finish, and move to just eight markers out of the Track Championship point lead with two point races left on the docket.
“I really want to thank the entire crew for their hard work to keep us in the game after my poor qualifying effort,” Grasty added. “I’m glad we were able to bounce back and have good finish. Also, a big thank you to all of the great partners we have that let us run such a busy schedule, and give us the tools we need to succeed.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will be right back up at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-28, Wins-3, Top 5’s-11, Top 10’s-19

Tony Gomes Takes Placerville Speedway Point Lead With
Sixth Place Finish
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to action with C&M Motorsports on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Tony Gomes ended up with a sixth-place finish in the feature event and in doing so took over the track championship standings by one marker with just two races left.
“It was a decent night for our team, but losing a couple spots on the last restart wasn’t what I wanted at all,” Tony Gomes said. “We didn’t get timed in well, but we put ourselves in a good position to have a good finish in the feature.”
With 23 cars on hand at the speedway on Saturday night, the Modesto, CA driver timed the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7C in seventh fastest in qualifications which ultimately placed him on the front row of his heat race.
Needing to win the heat to earn a spot in the redraw, Gomes gave it a valiant effort when the race went green but settled into second as the field raced through turns one and two.
Holding down second, Gomes would finish there as it locked him into the feature event as he found himself in the fourth row to start the 25-lap feature event.
Working his way into sixth when the feature event came to life, Gomes searched all around the bullring looking for a way into the Top-5 until the race’s first caution flew on lap 10.
The restart initially saw him slip back to eighth, but he quickly was back into seventh on the next lap as the race started to get interesting. Able to avoid some of the chaos that broke out, Gomes was in fourth in the closing laps.
A late restart saw a couple of cars get out of line early and get around Gomes coming to the final green flag, and in the end it he ended up finishing in the sixth spot. With the finish, Gomes now has the C&M Motorsports team atop the point standings by one digit with just two points paying races left on the schedule.
“I’m not quite sure what went down on that final restart, but it was a bummer to lose those spots, for sure,” Gomes added. “We will reset and refocus for these final two races as things tightened up. Big thanks to Cody and Mandi for believing in me, as well as to Cody, Bobby Bumgarner, Cody Cook, and Chris Bouchard for their help in the pits all night.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Tony Gomes get right back to it on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway.

Part Issue Derails Andy Forsberg at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Andy Forsberg was well in the hunt for his 9th feature event win of the season until a driveline issue on the 10th lap ended his night abruptly.
“After last week’s antics, the crew did a great job of getting a new car together for Saturday night, and we were really good,” Andy Forsberg said. “In nine laps we had jumped out to a really healthy lead but something in the rearend went south and it ended our night unfortunately.”
With 23 cars checked into the Placerville Speedway pit area for a night of regular season points action, Forsberg timed the Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax/Meridian Cameras backed No. 92 mount in fourth fastest.
Needing to win his heat race for the redraw, Forsberg nailed the start and drove away from the field. Picking up the win, he was locked into the redraw where the one pill placed him on the front row of the 25-lap feature event.
When the feature event came to life, Forsberg was hard on the throttle as he jumped into the lead and quickly reeled in the rear of the field. Getting into traffic in just mere laps, Forsberg wasted no time putting cars a lap down.
Continuing to stretch out his lead, issues on lap 10 saw the Auburn, CA driver slow and bring out the race’s first caution. Getting assistance to the pit area, Forsberg bypassed the work area and his night was officially over.
“It was a bummer, because we had a really good car,” Forsberg said. “The DNF definitely tightened up the points battle with just two point shows left so it should be really exciting to end the season at Placerville Speedway.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Tanner Carrick 2nd at Johnny Key Classic
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Ocean Speedway on Saturday night for the Johnny Key Classic with NARC, Tanner Carrick put together a strong run that culminated with him picking up second place finish.
“Overall it was a really good night for our team, Tanner Carrick said. “We were able to time in well, get into the Dash, and we were right in contention to battle for the win.”
Making the return trip to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA after taking last weekend off, Carrick got off to a quick start as he timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Carrick quickly raced into third on a surface that was extremely fast early in the night. Settling into third, Carrick’s third place finish was enough to get him into the Dash where he took the green flag from the outside of the front row.
Starting the six-lap shootout alongside Bud Kaeding, Carrick settled into second and went on to finish in the runner up position as he again found himself on the front row with Bud Kaeding for the feature event.
With the race’s initial start being negated by a red, Carrick ran in second when the action finally came to life.
Pacing Kaeding as they raced into traffic, Carrick was able to close in on the leader but was unable to mount a serious challenge. With a yellow coming at the halfway point on the 15th lap, Carrick looked to make a move on the ensuing double-file restart.
When the green replaced the yellow, Carrick again slipped into second as he chased after Kaeding.
Getting close to his rear bumper as they raced through traffic in the final laps, Carrick held on to finish in the second position when the checkered flag was displayed to the field.
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 37, Wins: 3, Top 5’s: 16, Top 10’s: 24

Kaleb Johnson Shows Speed During Challenging Weekend
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 4, 2025) – Last weekend was a roller coaster for Kaleb Johnson.
The Team DGRD driver invaded I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Mo., on Friday for the opening night of a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader.
Johnson was 13th quickest in his group and he advanced one position to finish sixth in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the second row in the Last Chance Showdown.
“We didn’t qualify real great, but moved forward in the heat race,” he said. “I felt we were in a good spot to transfer through the Last Chance Showdown. On the start I didn’t see anybody next to me and went to the bottom, but the next thing I knew somebody climbed my left rear and we got smoked.”
The opening-lap collision resulted in a DNF.
“We went to go eat after we got the car fixed and we had a bearing blow out on the rear axle of our trailer,” he said. “A wheel and hub flew off the trailer. I wanted to race on Saturday, but I thought that might have been a sign we should go home.”
The team skipped Saturday’s Ironman 55 finale and prepared for Sunday’s Avanti Windows & Doors Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank at Knoxville Raceway.
“We brought out a brand new motor that I thought ran well, but we missed it on the setup in qualifying,” he said. “We figured if we were going to try some stuff last night was the night to try. I just wasn’t comfortable.”
Johnson timed in 35th quickest in his group. He rebounded with a charge from 12th to seventh in a heat race and from 11th to fifth in a B Main, ending only two spots shy of making the main event out of a field of more than 70 drivers.
“We went back to stuff we known works at Knoxville and were much better in the heat race and B Main,” he said. “It was nice to get by some cars in the heat race to put ourselves in a decent position for the B Main. I felt like I could get by cars when I needed. I wish we had a late-race yellow because I think we were good enough to contend for a transfer.”
Johnson will return to Knoxville Raceway this week for the 64th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s. His preliminary night is Wednesday.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 1 – I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Mo. – Qualifying: 13; Heat race: 6 (7); B Main: DNF (4).
Aug. 3 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Qualifying: 35; Heat race: 7 (12); B Main: 5 (11).

Dover Records Best 360 Knoxville Nationals Result Since 2018
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 4, 2025) – Jack Dover produced his best result at the Xtream powered by Mediacom 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank since 2018 last weekend at Knoxville Raceway.
Dover piloted a sprint car for Shayle Bade Racing during the 35th edition of the marquee event that featured more than 80 competitors, ending ninth in the B Main on Saturday to finish only five positions out of making the coveted main event.
“I’m happy,” he said. “It’s important to get more laps and get into a rhythm of hitting the corners at Knoxville. Considering we weren’t planning on racing the event and it being our first time in that car, to end only a few positions out of the A Main, we’re pleased.”
Dover qualified 26th quickest to open Friday’s preliminary night. He then won a heat race to lock into the main event. Dover climbed from 17th to a 13th-place result, which was his best preliminary night result since 2021.
“We were up to eighth or ninth on the last restart with four or five laps to go,” he said. “I knew I had nothing to lose so I tried the middle and lost a few spots. We had a top-10 car so I was happy with that.”
The event concluded on Saturday with Dover maneuvering from 14th to ninth place in the B Main.
“We had a good shot at a top five,” he said. “The first corner I had a plan to go through the middle. Somebody went in and wasn’t on the gas. We almost destroyed the car as I had to swerve to not hit him and I went over the cushion. We fell back to around 18th and rallied back to ninth. We had a lot of speed.”
Dover returned to the Tim Estenson Motorsports No. 53 on Sunday during the Avanti Windows & Doors Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank. It marked his first time competing in the event, which showcased more than 70 drivers.
“Before the night started we agreed it was a test night and we couldn’t get upset,” he said. “As a driver that kind of eases your mind, but you still go out there and try your hardest.”
Dover was 24th quickest in his group and he placed eighth in a heat race. The night wrapped up with a charge from 15th to eighth place in a B Main. That was the most positions gained in the consolation race by any driver.
“It seems we can’t qualify well, but come race-time we can pass cars,” he said. “We kept working on the car. There were things we wanted to do more, but we didn’t have time to do it. We think we’re better prepared going into the Knoxville Nationals.”
Dover will compete in the 64th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s this week at Knoxville Raceway. His preliminary night is Thursday.
QUICK RESULTS –
Aug. 1 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Qualifying: 26; Heat race: 1 (1); Feature: 13 (17).

Lattomus Eager to Return to Knoxville, Armed with Newfound Experience
Knoxville, IA – August 4, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus went to Knoxville to gain experience and learn. Mission accomplished.
No, the results weren’t flashy on the scoreboard, but the building blocks were laid so the young racer can post those kinds of results in the future.
His first impression of Knoxville?
“It feels 410 (sprint car) fast in a 360,” Lattomus shared with a smile.
QUICK LEARNING REQUIRED
Knoxville’s surface is a different animal, especially for a racer who has spent his young career in the Mid-Atlantic region. Then consider the stout competition on hand for the 360 Nationals, which includes most of the top 360 sprint car teams and drivers in the country.
Add it all together and there’s only one conclusion: newcomers need to be a quick study.
Lattomus only made 25 total laps under green on his qualifying night on Friday. That’s hot laps, qualifying, heat race, and the B-main combined. That’s not a lot of time to learn, especially when the most important laps of your weekend, your time trial laps, are the 4th and 5th laps you have ever turned at the track.
Friday night ended on a positive note, with Lattomus passing cars and moving forward in the B-main, plus the ‘first date’ with Knoxville was behind him, and he could come into Saturday’s finale far more comfortable and with an idea what he was facing.
Lattomus quickly showed he was making progress at the Marion County (Iowa) Fairgrounds half-mile. He drove from 12th to 5th in the D-main to advance to the C-main. Unable to come from deep in the field to a top-seven transfer spot, his night ended in the C-main, but it still provided valuable track time that will pay dividends next time.
Saturday night, Lattomus was on track for a hot lap session, followed by a 10-lap D-main, and a 12-lap C-main. That’s another 25 total, but they were extremely valuable for the Lewes, DE driver and his Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91 team.
“I was absolutely more comfortable on Saturday with the track. Friday night was completely new to me and felt like every time I hit the track, I improved. Saturday was a big help in learning more because I had some extra time to search around and find my speed in different areas,” Lattomus shared.
“I definitely want to get back to Knoxville after the laps I gained this week. It is an awesome track to race on, and I am confident I will have a better run when we go back.”
UP NEXT
Lattomus has added a date to his upcoming schedule. He will race the 410 sprint car at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, August 9th.
Fans can keep up with Preston’s schedule, news, and all the latest information at PrestonLattomus.com.

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (August 5, 2025) - “Blackjack” Brian Brown
and Brian Brown Racing have been on a tear at Knoxville Raceway in
Knoxville, Iowa, not only securing three straight top-ten appearances

competed in Knoxville’s 360 Nationals, and as noted, concluded the event
with back-to-back top-ten appearances which included a seventh-place score
in his respective preliminary attempt. The former 360 Nationals champion
raced on to finish tenth in the event’s finale, powering ahead from 16th on
the grid.
“We got behind the eight ball a little bit during the 360 Nationals…ended up climbing from ninth to seventh during the preliminary and 16th to tenth in the finals. Not a ton of passing once you get up to speed with those things,” Brown noted. “We were really excited heading into Sunday. Ended our night running third in the A. The car is good, the engine is good, the team is working really well. Looking forward to having a great week.”

Zearfoss rallies big in Central PA pair; Knoxville Nationals on deck
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 4, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (August 4, 2025) – It was a hard-fought weekend in Central Pennsylvania for Brock Zearfoss and Rich Eichelberger Racing, and despite starting no better than tenth in his routine visits to Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway on Friday and Saturday, August 1-2, the “Jonestown Jet” out of Jonestown, Pennsylvania, finished no worse than fifth, advancing 18 total feature positions with 11 of those occurring at The Grove on Friday, August 1.
Zearfoss, backed by Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness, finished fifth and third in his weekend starts, rallying ahead from 16th to fifth at Williams Grove Speedway followed by a seven-spot jump from tenth to third at the Port Royal “Speed Palace.” When it was all said and done, Zearfoss’ weekend padded the stat chart tremendously, now with 27 top-ten appearances, 17 of which within the top-five.
Immediately following his charge at Port Royal Speedway, Brock Zearfoss loaded up and hit the highway west, rolling into Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, in time for the annual Capital Classic on Sunday, August 3. The former Knoxville Nationals A-Main starter concluded the traditional Nationals lidlifter with a B-Main appearance.
“Pretty happy with our performances at Williams Grove and Port over the weekend. It’s easy to get discouraged when you have to start midpack or worse, but we made the best of our situations and climbed our way out of them,” Zearfoss said. “Can’t say enough about Rich Eichelberger and the entire 8Z team. It’s been a blast driving his cars and I’m sure even bigger results are ahead. But for now, it’s BZR at Knoxville Raceway.”
ON DECK:
Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing will continue their 2025 campaign
with Knoxville Raceway’s 64th Knoxville Nationals on August 6-9 (BZR No.

Dietrich earns Lou Blaney Memorial title; All eyes on the
Knoxville Nationals
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 4, 2025
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 4, 2025) – Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing (GKR) launched their long trip west to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, with a quick stop in Hartford, Ohio, joining the region’s finest for the annual Lou Blaney Memorial on Saturday, August 2. The Buckeye State pitstop proved beneficial to the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, ace, concluding the highly-anticipated program with a main event triumph, as well as a $13,000 payday.
Forced to do things the hard way, Dierich’s feature score commenced from the inside of row four, taking command officially on lap 24 before outdueling National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Dale Blaney. Although the Lou Blaney Memorial title was a first-ever for Dietrich, he’s certainly no stranger to the Buckeye State, already claiming the 2025 Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions.
“Double-D” and GKR would eventually make their presence known in Knoxville, Iowa, rolling into town just in time for Sunday’s Capitani Classic. Dietrich’s momentum would prove vital, qualifying for A-Main action soon thereafter and finishing 14th.
“Just a great way to launch our trip west, that’s for sure,” Dietrich said. “We’ve always been really comfortable at Sharon, so when we started to mold our schedule together, we made it a point to get to the Lou Blaney Memorial. Happy to get a win for Derek Snyder. A dear friend and a great supporter. We’ll work to do it again at Knoxville.”

TKS Motorsports and Brooke Tatnell geared up for Knoxville Nationals
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 4, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (August 4, 2025) – Certainly no stranger to the four corners of Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, Sans Souci, NSW, Australia’s Brooke Tatnell, who will substitute for fellow Aussie native Ian Madsen while he is sidelined due to injury, has been assigned as the official wheelman of TKS Motorsports, set to take on the best of the best in Knoxville Raceway’s 64th Knoxville Nationals kicking off Wednesday, August 6.
An annual send off, Tatnell and TKS Motorsports launched their Nationals week with the annual Capitani Classic on Sunday, August 3, and although the team out of Mitchellville, Iowa, was unable to qualify for the evening’s main event, laps were made and notes were taken, eager to continue their campaign with Knoxville Nationals qualifying on Wednesday, August 6.
“We’re grateful to have Brooke Tatnell fill in for Ian [Madsen]. Brooke is a talented guy who knows his way around Knoxville Raceway. He has a lot of experience and I’m confident we can learn from each other,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, Justice Brothers, Serenity Custom Woodworking, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “We’re excited for the Nationals and it’s an event we never want to miss. Ready to see what we can do.”

Ian Madsen is sidelined for six to eight weeks. News on his return will come as soon as he is able.

Andrews and Real American Beer team find top-ten at
Fremont; Upcoming schedule TBD
ByTyler Altmeyer
August 4, 2025
SANDUSKY, Ohio (August 4, 2025) – Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing had a border battle of their own during the recent weekend, first joining the All Star Circuit of Champions at Hartford Speedway in Hartford, Michigan, on Friday, August 1, quickly followed by a routine visit to Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio, on Saturday, August 2. Andrews concluded his two-race agenda with one top-ten, a ninth-place outcome and doing so at Fremont. The end result, commencing main event competition from just one spot better, allowed Andrews to maintain his place within the frontrunners of the track’s championship chase, now third with a 112-point gap separating himself from leader, Cap Henry.
In his All Star appearance in Michigan, Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, Burdue Insurance, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprint car, finished 12th, fading to midpack after starting from the outside of row two. It was Andrews’ qualifying effort that set the pace, recording the fastest time of the night amongst the 28-car field.
“Overall, another great weekend for our Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer team…just needed a little bit more on Friday at Hartford,” Andrews stated. “Setting quick time gave us the jumpstart that we needed, just had some trouble finding the speed we needed in the A-Main. Regardless, it was a good momentum kick for August. We’re going to take a weekend off then get back at it the following week. Not super sure of a plan just yet, but we’ll get it figured out soon.”

Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will enjoy a weekend off before

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 4, 2025) - In all, it was a great stretch through Missouri and Iowa for Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, not only opening competition with a podium performance in the Ironman 55 preliminary on Friday, August 1, but ultimately concluding action with three straight top-tens, the last of the three occurring in Knoxville Raceway’s annual Capitani Classic on Sunday, August 3. Schatz, who launched the Sunday blockbuster with a runner-up performance during heat race competition, raced on to finish eighth, improving one position from ninth while battling the best that the sport has to offer.
As noted, Schatz’ weekend opened with a podium, finishing second in the Ironman 55 preliminary at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Missouri, on Friday, August 1. The ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and Fargo, North Dakota, native started fourth, driving ahead two positions to record his best World of Outlaws result of the season.
Carson Macedo was the eventual Ironman 55 preliminary night winner.
“He [Macedo] was pretty good,” Schatz said at Pevely on Friday. “Obviously he drove away from us there even in traffic. On the restart when I found myself on the outside, I was kind of surprised that we took off that good on the outside and figured I’d stay there. I could stay with him, and I tried it down here and lost a little bit. Obviously, I didn’t get passed, so I just kept trying to make something work. I tried to move around and find it. All in all, it was a good night.”
Schatz raced on to finish seventh in the 55-lap, $25,000-to-win Ironman 55 finale on Saturday, August 2. His drive forward started from row five, now with 26 WoO top-tens on the season.
With the Ironman 55 and Capitani Classic events officially in the books, Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing will now turn their attention forward, setting aim on the 64th running of the Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway on August 6-9. Schatz is an 11-time champion of the prestigious event, earning his most recent title in 2022.

Stellar Weekend for Ross: Runner-Up at Lincoln, Fourth at
Williams Grove
Abbottstown, PA – August 3, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tyler Ross stayed hot over the weekend, bagging two more top five finishes, including a runner-up run at Lincoln Speedway (PA), in the Bush Auto Group, Fastrak Express Inc., Stateline Truck and Trailer, Stoltzfus Farm Service/Kubota ™, Betts Garage No.5.
CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway, Ross kicked the weekend off with a runner-up finish in his heat, which in turn provided a top-five starting spot for the 25-lap feature under the handicapping format.
After slipping back a spot early, the Lincoln University, PA driver rebounded to settle into 4th on lap five. He briefly lost the spot with six laps remaining but again recovered to score the 4th place finish, his best of the season at the legendary Central Pennsylvania oval.
“Handicapping at the Grove helped put us in position to start near the front. We needed good, solid laps, and I think we achieved that. I needed to put myself in better positions on the track, and I think we would have had a shot at the podium,” Ross explained.
Ross kept the momentum going in the right direction Saturday night, leading off his night with an impressive drive from 6th to a win in his heat race.
“The track was slicker than normal for the heat race tonight (at Lincoln). I was able to make my way to the front quickly. I feel we’re good when the track gets slick early in the night, so that worked in our favor for sure,” Ross commented.
Ross didn’t miss a beat in the A-main. He worked his way to the lead on lap sixteen from the 6th starting spot, and held a firm but narrow grip on first for nearly ten laps until Freddie Rahmer wrestled the top spot away in lapped traffic with six laps remaining.
“We’re getting there. I had a better car last night, but lapped traffic didn’t help me. We will keep digging,” Ross commented.
Ross is definitely ‘getting there’. He has five top-ten finishes in his last six races, including three top-fives.

SCCT finale at Stockton Dirt Track shifts to Friday October 31st
By Gary Thomas
Stockton, CA…Officials with the Stockton Dirt Track have announced a date change for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season finale.
Originally scheduled for November 8th, the event will now take place on Friday October 31st, creating a double header on Halloween weekend at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds.
The SCCT 360s will crown a champion during the show, while NARC 410 will do the same one night later on November 1st. The overall championship weekend pays tribute as always to the late great Gary Patterson.
Known as the “Dancing Phantom from Stockton,” the “Preacher,” the “Hostile Hippie” or just simply “GP,” Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others.
Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since.
“GP” moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we’ve paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will contest a pair of events before the finale, with Petaluma Speedway’s 14th annual Adobe Cup up next on Saturday September 20th. SCCT will also tackle Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the Trophy Cup Tune-Up on Saturday October 4th.
For those who can’t make it to the track CaliDirt.TV provides live coverage of every Sprint Car Challenge Tour event. The service also covers every championship point race at Placerville Speedway. Fans can purchase through a cost savings monthly membership or on a per race basis via https://calidirt.tv/

Covington Shifts Focus to Knoxville, After Runner-up at
Windy Hollow
Matt Covington Racing – Glenpool, OK (July 30, 2025)
Matt Covington and the Covington Racing crew are locked in and ready to
tackle the famed half-mile of Knoxville Raceway this weekend for the 35th
annual Xtream powered by Great Southern Bank Knoxville 360 Nationals.
Covington is coming off a strong, but bittersweet weekend with the ASCS National Tour, where he picked up a 2nd-place finish Friday at Windy Hollow, followed by a 19th and DNF at Benton Speedway on Saturday after getting tangled with a lap car while leading the feature.
“We’re very optimistic heading into the 360 Nationals,” said Covington. “The car felt solid at Windy Hollow, just not quite good enough to beat Sam. At Benton, I think we were on our way to a second national win of the year before that misfortune with the lapper. But Knoxville’s a different beast. It can humble you quickly.”
With multiple trips to Knoxville already under their belt this season, the team feels confident in their baseline setup heading into the Nationals.
“We’ve found a decent balance there. If we start the night off right with a good pill draw, I believe we have what it takes to put together a strong showing,” Covington added. “We’ve got the equipment, the motors, and the team to get results, if I do my job and we land on a solid setup. The goal is to make the A-Main again and let the rest play out from there.”
Covington’s 360 Nationals campaign kicks off Thursday night with his qualifying session, and all eyes will be on Saturday’s finale, where the top sprint car talent in the country will battle for one of the year’s most coveted wins.
Covington Racing would like to thank the following partners
for their continued support in 2025:
Triple X Chassis, Missile Motorsports, Reece Construction, Fisher Racing

Arenz pushes forward through three-race IRA weekend
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 30, 2025 – Following a
three-week hiatus, Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team hit
the track for a three-race weekend of competition with the Bumper to Bumper
Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Mississippi
Thunder Speedway on Friday, July 25, Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, July 26
and Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, July 27.
Arenz opened the weekend with a 20th-place qualifying effort
with a lap of 12.622 seconds in the 30-car field at the third-mile
high-banked Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday,
July 25.
The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and
Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion finished sixth in the
second IRA heat race to roll off 18th in the 30-lap A-main. Arenz went on to
advance eight spots to claim a solid 10th-place showing.
The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor found his groove at
Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, July 26 by qualifying 11th in the 34-car
field and gaining a dash berth by winning in the third heat race.
After placing fourth in the first four-lap IRA dash, Arenz started seventh and moved up three spots to tally a weekend-best fourth-place finish in the 30-lap main event.
At the historic Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on
Sunday, July 27, Arenz managed to qualify 16th in the 31-car field.
Following a sixth-place finish in the first heat race, Arenz
gained the 17th starting position in the 30-lap Salute to Bryan Gapinski
main event. Arenz clawed his way up six positions to cap off the weekend in
11th.
“The weekend wasn’t that great for us,” Arenz said. “We
didn’t perform how I would have liked, but I am pleased we moved forward
each night. We also tried some new setup things that didn’t go the best. On
a positive note, the car is in one piece, and we all survived the hot
temperatures. The only real problem I had this weekend was Sunday at Angell
Park. I started losing oil pressure in the heat race. Luckily, it was just a
gauge failure.”
After a two-week hiatus, the team is scheduled to resume its
Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series
campaign on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., during the
Kenosha County Fair. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5:45

Arenz will close out the weekend at Angell Park Speedway in
Sun Prairie, Wis., as part of Corn Fest on Sunday, Aug. 17. Spectator gates

Hartmann tallies 2025 IRA best at Beaver Dam Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 30, 2025 – In a season that has
put Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team to the
test many times over, a solid weekend overall effort highlighted with a
season-best showing was just what the doctor ordered in a back to back to
back Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association weekend of action.
The IRA tripleheader opened at Mississippi Thunder Speedway
in Fountain City, Wis., where Hartmann opened the night by turning in a
12.671-second qualifying lap to place 22nd in the 30-car field.
From there, the 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and
Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner
placed seventh in the first eight-lap heat race before starting third and
racing to victory in the IRA B main to advance to main event competition.
Hartmann wrapped up the night with an 18th-place showing in the A-main.
The following night saw Hartmann string together his best
night of the 2025 season at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, July 26. After
qualifying 13th in the 34-car field with a lap of 12.947 seconds, the
Plymouth, Wis. native placed third in the first heat race to gain the 13th
starting spot in the 30-lap headliner.
Hartmann stayed smooth and consistent in the main event to
capture a season-best seventh-place showing.
The weekend closed out on Sunday, Aug. 27, at Angell Park
Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., where Hartmann qualified 13th out of 31 cars
before placing fifth in the first heat race and coming home 17th in the
30-lap main event.
“It’s crazy how humbling this sport can be,” Hartmann said.
“We had the best car all season and the worst in the matter of 24 hours.
Ian, Eric, and Karlee did a great job helping the team this past weekend.
We’ll take a couple of weeks and dial in some equipment for the remainder of
the season.”

Knoxville Beckons: Lattomus to Compete in 360 Nationals
Lewes, DE – July 30, 2025
by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Preston Lattomus will add another first to his racing resume this week. He will tackle Knoxville Raceway in Iowa in the 360 Sprint Car Nationals aboard the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.
The accomplished young racer from Lewes, Delaware, will hit the track Friday, August 1st, for his qualifying night and again on Saturday on August 2nd, for the event finale.
HEADING WEST
“We have a very successful 360 program, we believe one of the best in the country. Our goal this season was to get out of our region and compete in a larger event on a national scale,” Lattomus shared.
“Originally, we were aiming to go to Florida early in the year, but instead, we opted to put the 360 Nationals at Knoxville on our schedule because it made more sense on multiple levels.”
Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, is widely considered the premier dirt track in the United States if not the world. The 360 Sprint Car Nationals is one of the top-tier events held at the half-mile facility, drawing wide media coverage and fan attention.
“Entering the 360 Nationals not only gives us a chance to measure our program against the best in the country, it provides huge visibility for our partners. Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches always has a presence here. It’s a great opportunity for them to show their great products to the racing community,” Lattomus explained.
“It’s also a great opportunity for me to get seat time at a place I hope to compete at a lot in the future in both 360 and 410 sprint cars.”
More than 90 cars are entered for the 2025 360 Nationals, with half the field qualifying on Thursday and the other half on Friday. Saturday’s eliminations will be lined up by points earned on qualifying nights.
RISING WITH EXPERIENCE
After a very busy 410 Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek to open the month of July, Lattomus took one weekend off, then returned for a two-race weekend at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways.
It proved to be a good weekend for the 410 rookie. At Williams Grove, he scored a 17th-place finish, but the story was about more than the ending. Lattomus moved forward in his heat race and passed cars in the A-main before slipping late.
The following night at Lincoln, Lattomus scored his second top-ten finish of the season, landing a 7th-place finish after running well inside the top five earlier in the race.
“I made a couple poor decisions during the feature that cost us. I had a good enough car to run at the front. I’m more comfortable lately and getting more consistent. I am learning every time I hit the track. I just need the weather to cooperate and give me more opportunities,” Lattomus commented.
Lattomus unloaded at BAPS Motor Speedway on July 23rd to compete with the World of Outlaws but the team never got past hot laps. A magneto issue ended their night before they really ever got started.
So far in 2025, Lattomus should have raced 47 times based on the team’s original schedule. Thanks to Mother Nature and a couple of mechanical gremlins, he has only raced 28 times. That’s a ton of experience that was never gained.
Lattomus has seven 410 sprint car races planned in Pennsylvania in the latter half of August. He hopes the weather will play nice and he will get a chance to continue to build on the trend he has worked so hard to build despite all the challenges so far this year.

After Trey Starks won $111,626.26 at Skagit Speedway during Dirt Cup, he just took home $26,000 during the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob's Burgers and Brew this past Friday and Saturday, July 25-26. With the win, Starks becomes the first driver to win both Crown Jewel events in the same year, and now all he needs is to win the Saturday night of the Skagit Nationals to complete the clean sweep. Trey dominated, leading every lap of the race, while cars did close in on him from time to time, Starks never wavered in his pursuit of the checkered flag. Starks leads the points with 903, followed by second-place Jason Solwold, who is 95 points behind, and Colton Heath, who is 116 points behind Starks.
This weekend is also the fourth of six races for the 360 Summer Challenge Series. A set of six races, split between Grays Harbor Raceway and Skagit Speedway, with the most recent race taking place on Saturday, June 28, at Grays Harbor Raceway. Levi Hillier won that night, but Colton Heath still holds the top spot in points with 324, Hillier is second with 322 (-2), and Levi Kuntz is third with 272 (-52). Points are awarded for qualifying, heat races, and the main event. Then, after completing the six races, drivers who attempt to start all six will be eligible for the $6,000 points fund. Money is paid out to the top five drivers at the end of those six races.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars are back after almost a month-long hiatus, last racing at Skagit Speedway on July 12. Jayden Whitney secured his second win of the season in the Sportsman Sprint Car Division the last time they were out. He led all 25 laps of the main event without much challenge from another car. The win ties him in points with Jesson Jacobson, both have 756 total points. Whitney has only finished outside the top five once this year in seven races, on the night he didn’t finish inside the top five, he finished 18th. Jacobson has five top fives and six top 10s in seven features. Steven Hendrickson is third in points, 43 points behind the two leaders, and Macie Logsdon is fourth, 76 points off the lead.
The IMCA Modifieds are back this weekend and will be racing topless for the first time this year! It's still an IMCA points race and will utilize the same format that has been used all year. The last time the Modifieds went topless was First Responders Night on September 7. That night was perfection for Jeff Westergard as he went quicktime, won his heat, and led all 25 laps of the A-Feature. However, in the most recent Modified race at Skagit Speedway back on July 5, Cole Logan came from sixth to first to nab his second Skagit Speedway win. Logan had to hold off Westergard, who charged from eighth to second, and Austin Smith for the win despite numerous restarts. Westergard leads the points battle with 191 points, followed by second-place Adam Holtrop, who is currently nine points behind, and Logan, who is in third, 15 points behind Westergard.

Landon Brooks & Bates-Hamilton Racing set track record and earn podium at Santa Maria Speedway NARC tilt
By Gary Thomas
Santa Maria, CA…Competing at Santa Maria Speedway for the first time this past Saturday, Yuba City’s Landon Brooks adapted quickly, breaking a 21-year-old track record and claiming a podium finish aboard the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 21L.
“We had a lot of speed last weekend and I can’t believe we beat another track record,” commented Brooks. “I just wish we could have had a little better invert to start on the front row. I think the track was just a little bit one lane to pass in the feature. Felt like we had a pretty good car, but it was just tough to pass.”
Fresh off a top five effort at the Howard Kaeding Classic during the previous week, Brooks and the Bates-Hamilton Racing team headed south to take part in the only NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event of the season at Santa Maria Speedway on Saturday.
Getting his first taste of the one third mile clay, the 21-year-old began things in grand fashion, by setting a new all-time track record in qualifying with a blistering lap of 11.241 seconds. The previous mark had been held by California Sprint Car legend Brent Kaeding, who originally began his career at the track.
It marked the second time this season that Brooks has broken a track record aboard the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount. During the month of May, he also re-set the all-time Ocean Speedway mark.
A fifth-place finish in his heat race placed Brooks into the Dash, where he went on to finish fourth, earning an outside row two starting spot in the feature.
The 30-lap main event saw him settle into third at the start and attempt to chase down the top two. Untimely yellows kept leaders out of traffic however, and he went on to finish third at the conclusion.
“I am proud of the team and the improvements that we have made,” Brooks said. “I feel that we still have more in us and we are getting closer and closer.”
Brooks will now get set to tackle the Placerville Speedway this Saturday for the annual Carnett Clash. Bates-Hamilton Racing will feature a two-car operation at the event with Justyn Cox also aboard the familiar Berco Redwood No. 42x Sprint Car.
“I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Placerville, as it’s one of my favorite tracks,” Brooks stated. “Hopefully we can put together another solid evening.”
Tickets can be purchased via www.placervillespeedway.com or at the gate while www.calidirt.tv will be providing live coverage.

Brian Brown to commence Knoxville Nationals stretch with 360 qualifying Friday
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (July 29, 2025) - In all, it was another
great effort at Knoxville Raceway for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian
Brown Racing, completing their July 26 attempt with a podium result - their
season’s 11th top-five and 18th top-ten overall. Brown, who finished second
at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, did his best to outduel eventual
winner Rico Abreu, kicking off preliminary competition with his group’s
second-fastest qualifying effort followed by a two bump charge to fourth in
his respective heat race.
Brown’s results will prove vital, hoping to utilize his
ever-growing notebook to secure another 360 Knoxville Nationals
championship. The $20,000-to-win headliner will blast off Thursday with
Brown’s qualifying attempt scheduled for Friday.
Blackjack, who set “Quick Time” in his 360 on Saturday, is a
two-time 360 Knoxville Nationals champion with titles accomplished in 2014
and 2023.
“Another solid night overall for our Casey’s | FVP team.
Despite qualifying last in the order with the 410, we still managed to time
second in the group before racing from sixth to fourth in our heat. Lined up
third in the main and got to second pretty quick. Started to chase down
[Rico Abreu] and actually got to the lead, but didn’t take advantage of how
good our car really was and I didn’t put myself in a good spot. It doesn’t
matter how good your car is or how good your engine is, the driver has to do
his part,” Brown said. “You have to be mentally prepared to put yourself in
good positions on the track and I was unable to do that. That is 100% on me.
Once Rico got back by, we kinda paced him there and caught him at the end.
“With our 360 engine, our goal was to go in there and
qualify it…it was brand new so we wanted to go over everything and make sure
everything was secure. Ended up setting quick time, so we accomplished what
we set out to do. Loaded it up after that.
“I like where we’re at right now as a team,” Brown
continued. “I feel like we’re doing things really well, especially in the
A-Mains. We have a car that’s been better than what we’ve had in a little
while. The sky’s the limit right now. With Chad, JB and Devin, we can
accomplish anything. With a little bit of luck, and the car we’ve been
having, I’m confident we can accomplish all of our goals over the next two
weeks. Looking forward to the challenge beginning Sunday with the Capitani
Classic.
“A lot of great local talent mixed in with a lot of heavy hitters…it’s not going to be easy, but it shouldn’t be. If we do our job, I like our chances.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with
Knoxville Raceway’s 360 Nationals beginning Thursday, July 31; Brown’s
qualifying night is Friday, August 1.

Pokorski finds speed amid motor woes in IRA tripleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 29, 2025 – Despite dealing with a misfiring motor, Alex Pokorski squeezed the most out of his No. 4 Akright Auto Motorsports machine during a three-night weekend stand with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series contested at three different Wisconsin dirt ovals.
On Friday, July 25, Pokorski made his first appearance at the lightning-fast high-banked third-mile Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. The fifth-year Sprint Car driver turned in the 12th fastest qualifying time in the 30-car field with a lap of 12.436 seconds.
After starting on the pole in the third eight-lap heat race, the West Bend, Wis. native placed third to earn a transfer spot into the 30-lap A-main. After launching from the 13th starting spot, Pokorski was running 19th when he pulled off with motor issues. He was scored 22nd.
One night later, on Saturday, July 26, Pokorski enjoyed a stellar start by qualifying a strong fifth in the 34-car field with a fast lap of 12.817 around the third-mile high-banked clay oval.
Following a fifth-place showing in the first IRA heat race, Pokorski gained an IRA dash berth for the first time in his career. With a third-place showing in the second four-lap dash, Pokorski rolled off sixth in the 30-lap main event.
After running as high as fifth, Pokorski brushed the wall on lap 22 and held on to equal his career-best IRA A-main showing with a 13th-place finish.
One night later at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., the team’s weekend-long motor woes came to a head. After testing out the car during hot laps, Pokorski aborted his first qualifying attempt and retired the car for the remainder of the event.
“I enjoyed racing at Mississippi Thunder and Beaver Dam,” Pokorski said. “We had speed on Friday and Saturday. We just struggled with engine problems all weekend, which eventually took us out. Otherwise, we may have been faster yet.”
After taking the upcoming weekend off, the Alex Pokorski – Akright Auto Racing Team is set to make another start with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday, Aug. 9, at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.
The team is scheduled to resume its Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series campaign on Saturday, Aug. 16, at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., during the Kenosha County Fair. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5:45 p.m. and racing at 6:45 p.m.
Pokorski will close out the IRA doubleheader weekend at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., as part of Corn Fest on Sunday, Aug. 17. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m., engine heat at 4:30 p.m., hot laps at 5 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

17TH ANNUAL "LOU BLANEY MEMORIAL" SATURDAY AT SHARON; $12,000 TO-WIN/$1,200 TO-START FOR "410" SPRINTS PLUS BRP MOD TOUR; BONUSES, FAN GIVEAWAYS, ACTIVITIES & MORE
July 29, 2025
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway is preparing for one its biggest races of the 96th anniversary season this Saturday night (August 2). The 17th annual "Lou Blaney Memorial" will feature the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars in the region’s richest non-sanctioned Sprint Car event and the BRP Tour for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds. Hot lap/qualifying for the Sprints will begin at 6:40 p.m. with racing at 7:30. It's Ryan Blaney Family Foundation and Bala Management Night.
The "Lou Blaney Memorial" will celebrate the life and accomplishments of the Hall of Fame driver, who won more than 600 feature victories during a five-decade career. The legend has at least 121 Modified wins and another 11 documented in a Sprint Car at Sharon alone. Blaney passed away in 2009 after battling Alzheimer’s. Not only does the event focus on remembering the late Lou Blaney, but also honors him by raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s and the Alzheimer’s Association.
For the second straight year, the "Lou Blaney Memorial" for the Sprint Car boasts a feature payoff $45,750 with $12,000 going to the winner and a whopping $1,200 to-start! It took 10 years, but there was finally a repeat winner for the Sprint Car portion of the event in 2018, and it was none other than track owner, Dave Blaney. Blaney then became the event’s only three-time winner when he won last year’s event and abruptly announced his retirement from racing in victory lane. Blaney fended off central Pa. standout Danny Dietrich, who will return to the event for the second straight year on Saturday night.
Tony Stewart, won the inaugural event in 2009. Mike Lutz was the first local winner taking the 2010 version. Texan Sam Hafertepe, Jr. won in 2011, while five-time World of Outlaws Champion, Brad Sweet, was victorious in 2012. Jack Sodeman, Jr. became the second local driver to win the prestigious event in 2013, while Dave Blaney won his father’s memorial for the first time in 2014. Another WoO racer in Sheldon Haudenschild won the 2015 event.
Pittsburgh’s Danny Holtgraver won the biggest race of his career in 2016. Christopher Bell, who has went on to NASCAR glory, won his first race at the track in 2017. In 2019, Dave's younger brother Dale captured his first event, while in 2020 year it was Dave's son-in-law, Cale Conley, winning his first! Spencer Bayston became a new winner in 2021 before becoming a national touring driver. Ohio standout Cap Henry etched his name in the history books by winning in 2022. Two-time All Star Champion, Tyler Courtney, become the 14th different winner in 15 years when he won the 2023 event.
This year, Dale Blaney's attempt at a second "Lou Blaney Memorial" victory will come in the Dave Blaney-owned #10 as he seeks to give his brother a fourth win in the event as a car owner.
Sharon has completed just three "410" Sprint Car events thus far in 2025 as the World of Outlaws, Western PA Speedweek, and the Ohio Speedweek All Star Circuit of Champions events unfortunately all fell victim to Mother Nature back in May and June in addition to this past Saturday night's Bala Management "Super Series" event. After being shutout of victory lane the last two seasons, A.J. Flick scored his first Sharon win since August 6, 2022 when he topped a 37-car field on opening night. On May 17, Dale Blaney drove his brother Dave's #10 to victory over a 34-car field. After back-to-back rainouts on May 24 and May 31, Blaney scored another $4,000 victory on June 7- the 23rd of his career at Sharon.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds will race in a $2,500 to-win BRP Tour-sanctioned event on August 2. There have been 12 different winners in 16 “Lou Blaney Memorial” Modified events; however, it has been six years since a local was victorious.
New York legend Jack Johnson captured the inaugural 2009 race, while local Ohio drivers Jim Rasey and Rob Kristyak stole the thunder in 2010 and 2011. Kevin Bolland won the prestigious event in 2012 and fellow western Pa. racer Dave Murdick joined him in 2013. In 2014, Rex King, Jr. won the event part of his dream season, while in 2015 the late Jim Weller, Jr. added his name to the win list. Rasey became the first repeat winner in 2016. Jeremiah Shingledecker got his first event win in 2017, while New York’s Mike Maresca ended the locals’ run of eight straight event wins thanks to his victory in 2019.
Five years after his first win, King, Jr. added his second event win in 2019. Erick Rudolph and Chad Brachmann became the third and fourth Empire State racer to be victorious in the event in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Rudolph became the event's third repeat winner by capturing the 2022 event. In 2023, another invader won as Mat Williamson of Ontario, Canada captured his first career Sharon Speedway victory. Last year, Rudolph joined Dave Blaney as the only three-time winners of the “Lou Blaney Memorial” across both divisions.
The BRP Tour has completed four events this season with three different winners. King is the only repeat winner with northern invaders Rudolph and Williamson also victorious. King leads Garrett Krummert in the points. Canadian Tyler Willard is third with Shingledecker and Murdick completing the top five.
Thus far this season at Sharon in Big-Block Modified action, Krummert won back on June 21 for a $2,000 payday ending a two-year winless drought in the division.
Numerous bonus monies have been posted. The leader on lap 10 in both the “410” Sprint Car and Modified features will receive $500 from Bala Management. The hard charger in both features will receive $500 from Bala Management. The hard charger in the Sprints will also receive a $100 Summit Racing Equipment gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature. The hard luck recipient in both classes will receive $250 from Sunburst Environmental Services.
The Ryan Blaney Family Foundation was founded in 2018 by Lou’s grandson, Ryan Blaney, and his family, and they work hard to make a difference for Alzheimer’s patients and the families and caregivers that surround them. On Saturday, the RBFF will provide many opportunities to donate to the cause while experiencing the excitement of the night.
The Ryan Blaney Family Foundation will be on hand with merchandise including Lou Blaney Memorial T-shirts, a silent auction, raffle auction, and lap sponsor board, which is already in progress.

The “Lou Blaney Memorial”has been going strong ever since with over $400,000 being donated to local Alzheimer’s chapters as well the Alzheimer’s Association. Her dedication and commitment to help raise funds for this disease that her husband Lou suffered from came from her heart and she also spent many years volunteering with the Greater East Ohio Alzheimer’s chapter. Kate recently passed away on July 14 at the age of 87.
Co-owner Ryan Blaney will be unable to be in attendance due to racing in Iowa; however, in honor of his win at last year's inaugural NASCAR Cup event, there will be multiple promotions going on.

TRIPLE DOWN WEEKEND HITS TRI-CITY RACEWAY PARK AUGUST 1–3 WITH CHAMPIONSHIP RACING, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK THRILLS, FIREWORKS & QUAD ACTION
Franklin, PA – Race fans, mark your calendars and get ready for the wildest weekend of the summer as Tri-City Raceway Park rolls out a Triple Down Weekend like no other from Friday, August 1 through Sunday, August 3. From high-stakes dirt track racing to glow-in-the-dark mayhem and fireworks in the sky, there’s something for everyone – and you won’t want to miss a minute.
The action kicks off Friday night with our popular Six Pack Racing program as the season points battles reach their boiling point. Every lap counts with just a few weeks left, and tensions are high across all divisions. In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply 410 Sprint Cars, Ricky Peterson Jr. leads with two wins, but Jeremy Weaver – fresh off the biggest victory of his career – is just 19 points back. Brandon Matus is quietly staying in the hunt, ready to strike if the front two falter. The Flea Flicker Super Late Models feature a razor-thin gap between Darrell Bossard and Josh Ferry, separated by just five points. Over in the Shawgo Real Estate Pro Stocks, Mike Miller is fresh off win number two and leads Jake Whitling by 22, with Pat Fielding just 29 out of first. Blaze Myers has turned the Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprints into his playground with six wins this season, but he can’t afford to ease up – Zach Morrow, the all-time winningest driver at Tri-City, is just 16 points back. The Clarion County Community Bank RUSH Stock Cars feature another tight battle with Raidden Wilson leading, but Cameron Kramer is only 12 points behind, and William Baker sits just 24 back. The RUSH Sportsman Modifieds make their third appearance of the year, with Chas Wolbert looking to stay perfect in the C3 after winning both of his previous races. Note: the 21st Century Energy Group Big Block Modifieds are off this week, but Brad Rapp continues to lead the division by 42 points.
Friday’s racing begins at 7:00 p.m., with two makeup features starting at 6:30. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students, military, and seniors, and kids 10 and under get in free. Pit passes are $35.
Then on Saturday, August 2nd, Tri-City flips the script with an electrifying night of racing unlike anything you’ve seen before. The D6 Ultimate Quad Series rolls in with quad practice from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but the real action begins after dark. Fans will witness the first-ever Pro ATV race under the lights, with a massive $12,500 payout up for grabs. And as if that weren’t wild enough, we’re lighting up the night with a glow-in-the-dark circle track race featuring mini stocks and pro quads. This isn’t just racing—it’s a full-blown spectacle. From blacklight paint to glowing tires and underglow kits, it’s going to be wild, loud, and unforgettable. Gates open at 6 p.m., with an autograph session from 7 to 8:15 p.m., followed by racing under the lights starting at 8:45. And just to crank things up even more, fireworks will be lighting up the sky all night long.
Please note that Saturday is a special event—regular pit, grandstand, or VIP passes will not be accepted. Everyone must purchase a separate event ticket. Grandstand tickets are $30 and pit passes are $35.
Then on Sunday, August 3rd, we close the weekend with the high-octane D6 Quad EXTRAVAGANZA starting at 10 a.m. The stakes are high with $7,800 in payouts for amateur classes, plus the chance to claim one of our legendary six-pound championship belts—the most talked-about trophy on the circuit. While there won’t be circle track racing on Sunday, the quad racing action will be wall-to-wall from the green flag to the final checkers.
Want the best value? Grab a 3-day weekend pass for just $60—it covers all the action Friday through Sunday, includes a free event t-shirt, and comes with free camping. That’s a $10 savings and the best way to enjoy the full Tri-City experience. Tickets will be available at the gate, but prices will be higher and shirts will be limited, so we recommend grabbing them online ahead of time.
From tight points battles and championship drama to glow-in-the-dark chaos, fireworks, and full-throttle quad racing, Triple Down Weekend is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events Tri-City Raceway Park has ever hosted. Don’t miss it—this is where racing, fun, and summer collide in one unforgettable weekend.

Mallett Produces Sixth-Place Showing During ASCS National Tour Race in Missouri
Inside Line Promotions – BENTON, Mo. (July 28, 2025) – Jordon Mallett recorded his ninth top 10 of the season last Saturday during his first race at Benton Speedway in more than a decade.
“I felt like it played out well and I was pretty pleased with the night,” he said. “We were forced to get a new car down after crashing that one in West Memphis the previous weekend so we didn’t know what to expect. I was pleased with the car and how things went.
“It was frustrating early on. We rolled out for hot laps and didn’t have brakes. It’s a short turnaround from hot laps to qualifying. We worked at it and weren’t able to get it rectified so we qualified with zero brakes. We qualified okay for the circumstances, but knew we could have qualified so much better.”
Mallett was fourth quickest in his group. He then advanced from third to second place in a heat race, which lined him up ninth in the A Main.
“After qualifying we changed out the entire brake system and got some brakes on the car,” he said. “We were happy from then on. We were able to work on the race car and make it a little better the last two times we got on the track. Other than that early hiccup, we were relatively pleased with it.
“I was hoping in the heat race we could have got into the dash, but fell a little short so we had to start ninth in the feature. We weren’t real great the first half of the race. We were so-so and not able to move around. Once the race track started to really slow down and get more slick was when our stuff started coming to life and we made it up to sixth.”
The sixth-place outing is Mallett’s sixth top 10 of the season with the ASCS National Tour, which is tied for the fifth most despite Mallett only competing in half of the races this season.
Mallett will take this weekend off before joining the ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints for a doubleheader at Greenville Speedway in Greenville, Miss., on Aug 8-9.
QUICK RESULTS –
July 26 – Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo. – Qualifying: 4; Heat race: 2 (3); Feature: 6 (9).

Kaleb Johnson Earns Runner-Up Results at Rapid Speedway, Jackson Motorplex and Huset’s Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (July 28, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson captured a trio of second-place finishes last week.
The Team DGRD driver earned a runner-up result on Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa; on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn.; and on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway.
“I think it shows the speed we have,” he said. “We didn’t showcase it much on Saturday at Knoxville, but every other time we hit the track last week we were fast and we went forward in every feature. We have the speed and hopefully the wins will be coming.”
Johnson advanced from sixth to third place during a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars heat race at Rapid Speedway before he gained a position for the second-place outing in the main event.
“We were fast and I definitely needed the race to stay green in the feature,” he said. “I caught Austin (McCarl) in traffic and a yellow came out. We went another four or five laps when there was another caution. At that point there were seven or eight laps left and I knew it’d be tough to beat him in clean air.”
Johnson timed in 13th quickest before he moved from fifth to third place in an MSTS 410 Sprint Cars heat race to open the program at Jackson Motorplex. The night concluded with a run from eighth to second place in the A Main.
“The crazy thing is in qualifying if we were two hundredths better we would have been on the pole of a heat race,” he said. “The track was slick and wide and we were able to move forward. In the feature, I bided my time and passed cars when I needed. It was the same thing as Rapid Speedway; if the race stayed green I felt good because we were reeling in Kerry (Madsen), but we had an untimely red flag. Sometimes it doesn’t work out.”
Johnson was 14th quickest in his group and seventh in a heat race on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway. He transferred through the B Main with a third-place result before maneuvering from 23rd to 16th in the main event.
“We didn’t qualify well and that put us in a hole the rest of the night,” he said. “We were able to make it through the B Main and pass a few cars in the A Main and call it a night.”
The weekend wrapped up at Huset’s Speedway, where Johnson was second quickest in his group. He placed third in a heat race and missed the feature redraw by only one point. That lined him up ninth in the A Main.
“I knew it’d be tough starting ninth, but my main focus was to keep the car in one piece and move forward,” he said. “I was able to take advantage of other peoples mistakes and felt like I had a shot with five laps to go, but it didn’t work out to get the win. Heavy tracks haven’t been our strong point this year so it felt good to advance seven spots on the type of track we haven’t been that great on.”
Johnson tied for the second-most positions gained at Jackson Motorplex and at Knoxville Raceway, and he advanced the second most at Huset’s Speedway. He leads the Huset’s Speedway championship standings by 27 points.
Johnson plans to race in the Ironman 55 this Friday and Saturday at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Mo., with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and Sunday at Knoxville Raceway during the Avanti Windows & Doors Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank.

Dominic Scelzi Captures Two Western Sprint Tour Speedweek Presented by the Sprint Car Challenge Tour Wins During Strong Week in the Northwest
Inside Line Promotions – ELMA, Wash. (July 28, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi enjoyed one of his best weeks in the last couple of years during the Western Sprint Tour Speedweek presented by the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
Scelzi was victorious last Tuesday at Coos Bay Speedway in Coos Bay, Ore., and Sunday at Grays Harbor Raceway. He also recorded a runner-up result during the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., on Saturday in addition to podiums last Monday at Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Ore., and Wednesday at Cottage Grove Speedway in Cottage Grove, Ore.
“I’m over the moon happy with our performance this week,” he said. “We’ve been searching all year to try to get that comfort level back in my hands as well as speed in the race car. I felt we did great between the heat race and the main event in Roseburg. We went out in that feature and charged to a podium and that leaned into a phenomenal week. I felt like it was the No. 41 of old.”
Scelzi’s Speedweek began on Monday with a run from 13th to third at Douglas County Dirt Track. He capitalized on that momentum the next night at Coos Bay Speedway, where Scelzi won after lining up third in the A Main.
“I felt like that was the perfect place to start because the top was way up there,” he said. “When we went green we got to second fairly quick and had a yellow at the perfect time around Lap 9. I paced Jesse (Schlotfeldt), who had a good pace going. I was able to keep up and as he started maneuvering in traffic I could tell we were better. He got behind a couple of cars in traffic and went to the bottom. We were able to get right up on his right rear. He changed lanes and we swapped to the bottom and got by him with about seven laps to go. It was awesome to win a tough and exciting race.”
Scelzi produced a second-place showing on Wednesday at Cottage Grove Speedway before he opened the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals with a run from 15th to ninth on Friday at Skagit Speedway. That locked him into the fifth starting position for Saturday’s finale. He gained a trio of positions for his sixth second-place outing of the season.
The weekend concluded on Sunday at Grays Harbor Raceway, where Scelzi rallied from ninth to garner his third triumph of the year.
“Elma is famous for slowing down in qualifying,” he said. “We went out last or second to last and I was thrilled with our performance. To go 11th quick, I was happy with that and that gave me a bunch of confidence knowing we were able to maintain that type of pace when the track was less than favorable. Even though it’s not common to win from ninth, we have a good package at Elma and it showed. We got to third on Lap 16 or 17. We tracked the leaders down and once we did it didn’t take long to dispose of them. I think we took the lead on Lap 22 and we ended up winning by four seconds. It was a great ending to a great week.”
Scelzi will take the next two weeks off before tackling a Kubota High Limit Racing doubleheader Aug. 15 at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., and Aug. 16 at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, Calif., during the 49er Gold Rush Classic.

Dover Posts Podium at Rapid, Top Five at Jackson and Hard Charger at Huset’s
Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (July 28, 2025) – Jack Dover capped a busy week that featured three races at three tracks in three states by earning the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway.
“We were only a tenth off from being second in time trials,” he said. “That put us behind in the heat race. In the feature I told myself to survive because there’d be some accidents. That was how it played out. I kept my nose clean and we were able to get into the top 10.”
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver qualified sixth quickest in his group and placed sixth in a heat race. Dover’s run from 17th to ninth place in the main event was his 16th top 10 of the season overall and seventh at the track.
Dover remains third in the Huset’s Speedway championship standings – 71 points out of the lead.
The week began last Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, with the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars. Dover won a heat race from fourth before ending the night third in the main event.
“Track position was important,” he said. “There wasn’t a lot of passing in the feature. It was top dominant and kind of heavy. One of the guys running in the top three fell out and so that’s how we were able to finish third.”
Dover ventured to Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., on Friday for an MSTS 410 Sprint Cars event. He qualified 11th quickest and placed second in a heat race before recording a fifth-place finish in the main event.
“On a restart with about six or seven laps to go I pulled the wing back and started going through the middle and we were picking cars off,” he said. “I think we were ninth before that and really made up a lot of ground. We looked at our lap times after the race and we had a faster car than the guys in front of us.”
Dover currently has a 52-point lead in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings.
He is bound for Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, this weekend. Dover plans to drive for Shayle Bade Racing on Friday and Saturday during the 35th Xtream powered by Mediacom 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank. He returns to the Tim Estenson Motorsports No. 53 on Sunday for the Avanti Windows & Doors Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank.

Starks Becomes First Driver to Win Both Super Dirt Cup and 360 Nationals at Skagit Speedway in Same Season
Inside Line Promotions – ELMA, Wash. (July 28, 2025) – Trey Starks added his name to the record book under a new category last Saturday at Skagit Speedway, where he won the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew.
Starks became the first driver in track history to win that event as well as the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup, which he accomplished last month, in the same season.
“I didn’t realize that hadn’t been done yet, but I feel like that’s huge,” he said. “To be able to say you’ve won both in itself is huge let alone in the same year. It does make it extra special to be able to pull off both in one year.”
Starks set quick time in his qualifying group to open Friday’s preliminary night before he placed sixth in a heat race.
“Friday night went smooth,” he said. “We laid down a good lap and went quick time overall. The heat race wasn’t as good as it could have been. We got to fifth and jumped the cushion in the closing laps and fell to sixth. That put us fifth in overall points going into the feature.”
The feature inversion lined Starks up on the outside of the sixth row for the main event.
“It started off slow as the track was a little narrow,” he said. “The second half of the race we really started moving forward. We got into the top five in the closing laps and ultimately finished fourth so that put us second in overall points. That locked us into the pole shuffle. Being locked in is huge because you don’t have to go through a qualifier, where anything can happen.
“We had two rounds in the pole shuffle on Saturday. We beat Levi Hillier to have an opportunity to start on the front row and then went against Jesse Schlotfeldt for the pole position and won that, too.
“We fired off good and got the jump on the start of the main event. I knew I wanted to be the one to set the pace. I wasn’t super concerned if we didn’t get the lead right away because traffic would be a factor, but since the track was more narrow than normal it was important. We got cautions at good times when we were in thick traffic. We had a handful of restarts. On one with 11 laps to go it was for a couple of cars who crashed in front of us and I made contact. The handling changed toward the end, but it wasn’t enough to affect our speed.
“Dominic (Scelzi) was behind me for those last restarts and I saw him on the one with 11 laps to go. On the final restart, with about five laps to go, he slid by me and I had to cross underneath him. He threw another slider into turn three and I had enough speed to squeeze by him on the outside. I felt good from that point on.”
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Grays Harbor Raceway, which hosted the final night of the Western Sprint Tour Speedweek presented by the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
“We drew a late number and there was a pretty big fall off in qualifying,” he said. “We ended up qualifying 14th and that put us in the back of a heat race. We started fifth and finished fifth, which put us starting 14th in the feature. The track was a little wet in turns one and two and took half the race to widen out. Once the track widened out our car came alive and we started picking them off.”
Starks hustled from 14th to fourth to earn the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
Starks will return to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for a 360ci winged sprint car event. He currently leads the championship standings by 95 points.
QUICK RESULTS –
July 25 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. – Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 6 (6); Feature: 4 (12).
July 26 – Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. – Pole shuffle: 1; Feature: 1 (1).

Doney-Lawson Racing with big moves at Macon; All eyes on
Knoxville Raceway
ByTyler Altmeyer
July 28, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (July 28, 2025) – Despite Mother Nature erasing all hope for a two-race weekend, knocking out POWRi’s visit to 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on Friday, July 25, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars did their best to stay focused, continuing their 2025 campaign with a one night stay at Macon Speedway in Macon, Illinois, on Saturday, July 26. The brother/sister duo out of Odessa, Missouri, put on a fantastic display in the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League program, racking up stats that not only included the evening’s fastest qualifying time, but eventually the Hard Charger Award.
Xavier Doney, the oldest of the Doney siblings and ace of the Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, Stanton Racing Engines, No. 74 sprinter, earned the aforementioned Start2Finish TV Quick Qualifying Award, racing on to finish fifth in his respective heat race. Unfortunately, incidental contact in the evening’s 30-lap main event left the young man stranded, as there was no work area to make repairs.
Natalie Doney, Xavier’s youngster sister and a POWRi Rookie of the Year contender, helped steer the attention away from Xavier’s misfortune by racing on to finish just shy of the top-ten. The 16-year-old, powering through her first, full year in a 410ci sprinter, eventually secured the evening’s Hard Charger Award for advancing 11 positions; she raced from 22nd to 11th.
Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing, and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will now look ahead, setting aim on the Granddaddy Of Them All – Knoxville Raceway’s 64th Knoxville Nationals. Action will launch Wednesday, August 6, and conclude Saturday, August 9, awarding $195,000-to-win in the weekend finale.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
Geraldton City Speedway is set to host two rounds of the upcoming Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series.
The series will head north for back-to-back shows on Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1 (the March long weekend) as part of the 2025-26 championship.
Geraldton City Speedway secretary Dean Davidson said they were “extremely grateful for the club to have this opportunity”.
He said having 410ci sprintcars at the track would be the icing on the cake after a lot of work has been conducted in recent years, including bringing the safety fence up to standard and other recent upgrades.
“It will be an extremely popular event for the local community,” Davidson said.
“We can’t wait for the local community to be exposed to the highest quality sprintcar racing in Australia.
“And everyone will get to see local hero Callum Williamson (a two-time Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series champion) in action on his local track.”
The smaller track configuration is expected to be something different for the series drivers.
Davidson said the track was only 365 metres a lap on the pole line, which will produce some ‘tight’ racing.
He said the club was now planning for the event, including bringing in extra grandstand seating to cater for big anticipated crowds.
The club is hoping speedway fans will take advantage of it being a long weekend and travel to the Mid West city to enjoy local tourist attractions at the same time.
Sprintcar Entrants Group chairman Geoff Kendrick said it was great to be able to expose the series to a wider audience.
“The series continues to grow, thanks to the support of a lot of great series sponsors and we are grateful to expose those sponsors, and all the fantastic racing teams to more people,” Kendrick said.
“We still have more announcements to be made regarding the series, but it is already shaping up to be another great season of sprintcar racing in Western Australia.”

Ross Hitting Stride in Second Half of July
By Derick Kriner on Jul 26, 2025 02:45 pm
York Haven, PA – July 26, 2025
by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
After the 2025 edition of Pennsylvania Speedweek wrapped up for Tyler Ross and team, the speed they found at the end of the series continued into the second half of the month. Running only a few more races to round out the month, Ross showed good speed and proof that what they were chasing with the new race car during Speedweek, was starting to come around.
For kinks still being worked out on the brand new car, the 5 team had a good end to the month of July. Picking back up at Williams Grove Speedway on July 18th, Tyler was able to add another top 10 finish to the 2025 resume, finishing in the 10th position. Not only was this a good result, it showed the team had found something at the Mechanicsburg ½ mile, as it was the first top 10 at Williams Grove all season.
The next night shifted over to the Lincoln Speedway. Again, Tyler and the 5 car showed speed and the ability to run up towards the front. With a strong 6th-3rd run in his heat, followed up by a 9th-5th run in the feature, Ross was happy with how the car was performing. “We’re still figuring out the new car and motor program, but we’re not far off at all.” This finish would mark Tyler’s 3rd top 5 finish of the season and his third top 10 in a row. Consistency was starting to find the Lincoln University driver, and his team. “The team is just working really hard to find speed and I see it paying off,” stated Ross. He went on to mention that “just racing more is always a big help.” This was his 25th race of the season and he seemed to be finding his stride and a little more confidence in his equipment.
A big test would come just a few days later, as the World of Outlaws came to the BAPS Motor Speedway. The beginning of the night went well for the team, as Tyler was able to post a strong qualifying effort and put himself on the pole of his heat. A slight miscalculation on the start of the heat dropped Ross back a row, as he got called for a jump. “That’s on me,” said Tyler, “I didn’t realize they moved the line further off turn four, and I went where we usually do.” Even with some adversity, he was able to secure a transfer spot in the heat and would roll off 19th in the feature. At the end of the 30-lap feature, Ross would end up 18th.
When asked about something that was brought up by a fellow competitor on the broadcast in regards to restarts, Ross was in agreement that there were some games being played. “I think the Outlaws could be a little more consistent with their jump calls throughout the night,” mentioned Ross. “Being in the mid-pack on restarts, it was pretty wild back there. I think it caught all us locals off on restarts because it’s not something we’re used to.” Many drivers were either making moves before the green came out and jumping rows, or losing spots due to being moved out of the way. “I told my guys, I felt like I passed 20 cars in the race and only improved one spot.”
All in all, still a successful night to be able to compete and show speed against some of the toughest competition in the country. “The whole pace of a race is different with those guys, and it doesn’t matter if you’re up front or in the back, you gotta go.” Even though the streak of top tens had come to an end, this did mark the first World of Outlaws show Ross had qualified for in 2025. A great improvement from previous efforts and proof that the car and driver had found something.
The team would take the weekend off and not compete at the Williams Grove Summer Nationals, due to a prior commitment for the driver. Future race plans are still to be determined, but wherever the 5 car unloads next, it seems that they will be in contention for good results and maybe even the checkered flag.

Doran Binks Racing’s Cars Have Rough Trips
In USAC Silver Crown Action Wednesday Night at IRP
BROWNSBURG, Ind., July 24 — Although Kody Swanson won the last two USAC Silver Crown races he competed in with Doran Binks Racing’s Mission Foods #77 last month, a problem with the car’s engine caused an unusual did-not-finish designation and a 15th-place finish for the entry Wednesday night in the RaceAid 100 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
The first 12 laps of the 100-lapper were exciting, however, for the Lebanon, Ohio-based team and Swanson, a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in the same town where IRP’s 0.686-mile pavement oval is located. The team and Swanson are the series’ defending champions, and Swanson is the winningest driver in series history.
Swanson qualified fourth with the #77, which is also sponsored by Glenn Farms and Wilke Orthodontics, but decided to change the car’s right-rear tire before the race and accept the penalty for doing that, which is to go to the rear of the field for the start. That put him in 15th place for the drop of the green.
He passed seven cars and advanced to eighth place in only 11 laps, but then the car lost oil pressure and he pulled into the pits rather than do any more damage to the Lanci-prepped Ford engine.
He passed his teammate for this event, Dave Doran, and Matt Westfall on the first lap to rise to 13th. He got by Kaylee Bryson on lap two for 12th. He passed Mario Clouser on lap four for 11th, and he was already in the top 10 by lap five after he passed Kyle Steffens.
He passed Nathan Byrd for ninth on lap six, and stayed in that position until he passed Russ Gamester on lap 11 for eighth before he was forced to retire from the race with 12 laps complete.
Dave Doran, brother of team owner Kevin Doran, achieved a bucket-list item by starting in his very first USAC Silver Crown race here. The Cincinnati-based driver competed at IRP in the past in an ASA stock car, and he wanted to see first-hand what it would be like to drive a USAC Silver Crown car at IRP. His primary goal was to get some laps and bring the Doran Enterprises #7, a Beast which is powered by a Doran Racing-prepped Toyota engine, home unscathed. He accomplished that, and spent most of the first quarter of the race behind veteran Westfall.
Doran did 28 laps in practice, two more when he qualified 15th, and 21 more in the race before he pulled in for a combination of issues. His official finishing position was 14th.
C.J. Leary ended up winning the race over Justin Grant, Dakoda Armstrong, Byrd, and the polesitter, Bobby Santos III.
Earlier in the evening Swanson qualified fourth with a lap in 21.393 seconds, just 0.161 off the 21.232 Santos clocked to earn the pole. Swanson was second only to Grant in practice, just 0.073 off, with a 21.533 to Grant’s 21.460.
Doran carved nearly a second off from his best lap in practice (24.751) and his qualifying time of 23.772.
“It was something with the engine; we’re not sure what yet,” Swanson said after the race. “There was no warning. It started to smoke going into Turn 3, and it seemed to be down on power off of Turn 4 so I pulled in.
“I felt changing the tire before the race was the right decision,” he added. “Nights like this are just how it goes sometimes.
“We were up to eighth and passed some cars that ended up in the top five. We’ll try again another day.”
“I pulled in for a combination of factors,” Doran said. “First, there was a problem with my radio and I couldn’t hear my spotter. I could run a good lap when I had room, but when I moved over to let guys by, it took me longer to get my momentum back than I thought it should. My car was getting looser and looser, and I was getting mentally tired. I was surprised that there’s no down time anywhere around this track in a Silver Crown car; you’re busy every second.
“So it was a combination of things,” he concluded. “I was out here to see what it was like and to have fun. I didn’t want to have to fix the car tomorrow, so it’s good that it’s going into the trailer in one piece. I’m really glad I got the opportunity to do this race, for sure.”
The race was streamed live by Flo Racing.
USAC RaceAid, a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to USAC members and their families in times of injury and need, received a $5 donation from every ticket and pit pass sold for the event.
The next USAC Silver Crown race is another pavement event, this time on the high banks of Salem Speedway in Salem, Ind., on Saturday, Aug. 9. Swanson has five straight USAC Silver Crown victories there. In 2020 he broke Pancho Carter’s record of four consecutive Joe James-Pat O’Connor Memorial victories set between 1974 and 1977.

“410” SPRINTS & BIG-BLOCK MODS IN A FINAL TUNE-UP FOR “LOU BLANEY MEMORIAL” SATURDAY AT SHARON IN A BALA MANAGEMENT “SUPER SERIES” EVENT; PRO STOCKS ALSO IN ACTION
July 23, 2025
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)...For the first time in seven weeks, a Bala Management “Super Series” event is on tap at Sharon Speedway this Saturday night (July 26). The three-division program will include the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply “410” Sprint Cars, Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds, and the Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks all for just $15 in general admission! It’s Kams Electric Night. Group qualifying for the Sprints will begin at approximately 6:40 p.m. followed by racing.
The Willy’s World Kids Club presented by MillCraft Barns will include a driver autograph session from 5-5:30 p.m. (drivers TBA)followed up by driver and fan engagement activities from 5:30-6 p.m. Willy’s World is a non-profit organization dedicated to educate, support, guide, and provide resources to families and children with hidden disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Sharon has completed just three "410" Sprint Car events thus far in 2025 as the World of Outlaws, Western PA Speedweek, and the Ohio Speedweek All Star Circuit of Champions events unfortunately all fell victim to Mother Nature back in May and June. After being shutout of victory lane the last two seasons, A.J. Flick scored his first Sharon win since August 6, 2022 when he topped a 37-car field on opening night. On May 17, Dale Blaney drove his brother Dave's #10 to victory over a 34-car field. After back-to-back rainouts on May 24 and May 31, Blaney scored another $4,000 victory on June 7- the 23rd of his career at Sharon. Saturday’s $4,000 to-win/$400 to-start event will be the final tune-up for racers before next Saturday’s $12,000 to-win non-sanctioned “Lou Blaney Memorial”.
Saturday will now be the first time the two headlining divisions of “410” Sprints and Big-Block Modifieds have appeared on the same program in 2025. Saturday is just the second race of the season for the ground-pounders as they will battle for $2,000 to-win in their final tune-up before next Saturday’s BRP Tour-sanctioned event. Back on June 21 when the Modifieds completed their only event of the season, Garrett Krummert lapped up to sixth place as he topped the 21-car field for his first big-block win in two years at Sharon.
The Pro Stocks have completed four events thus far this season with three different winners. After being shutout of victory lane in 2024, Chris Schneider has won both of his 2025 starts as he upped his all-time win mark to 20, which moved him into sole possession of eighth place on the division’s all-time win list. His most recent win came on June 28 in the $2,000 to-win "Ray's Race" for the Penn-Ohio Championship Series. Former UMP Modified standout, Scott Stiffler, won for just the second time in a Pro Stock on June 21. Last Saturday night saw Nick Kocuba pull off an upset career first Sharon victory.
Summit Racing Equipment will present the hard charger award on Saturday night to the Big-Block Modifieds. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive a $100 Summit gift card. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the driver that finishes highest in the feature.
The Performance Bodies "Nosed Out" program will award a $100 Performance Bodies gift card redeemable only at Wedge Motorsports to a driver in the Pro Stocks. The recipient will be the driver that most closely beat out another competitor for any finishing position on the lead lap. Tiebreaker will be the driver with the best finishing position.
There is no Sharon registration fee. One-way driver radios are mandatory; channel 454.000. AMB/MyLaps transponders are required; rentals available for $25.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2025
The Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series (MTSS) will return to Bunbury Speedway for one big show this coming season.
It has been confirmed that the iconic South West venue will host round 11 of the 2025-26 championship as part of the WA Speedweek series, on Saturday, January 3, 2026.
Traditionally the track has hosted a round on New Year’s Day, as well as other rounds, however the club has made a decision to consolidate its position this summer.
Part of that consolidation is based on getting a new clay surface in place.
Newly-minted Bunbury Speedway general manager Brad Blake is one of the people driving the change and is overseeing the major project.
A clay deposit, very close to the original clay source, has been identified and is being analysed, with a view of it having it in place for a restricted 2026 season.
Blake said, if all that goes to plan, they will run some test and tune days before the first major event - on January 3.
“Our objective is to stop tyre wear,” Blake said.
“And to restore competitor confidence with Bunbury Speedway and the Bunbury Car Club.
“We want to get a good base and from there we can plan ahead more for the following season.”
Blake said he was looking forward to hosting a round of the MTSS on January 3, instead of January 1, saying it would allow everyone to enjoy New Year celebrations – and it will give teams that are contesting Speedweek a mini break.
The confirmation of the Bunbury round marks another piece of the puzzle being put in place for the 2025-26 championship which is co-ordinated by the Sprintcar Entrants Group (SEG).
SEG chairman Geoff Kendrick said it was great news that Bunbury was still able to be part of the MTSS.
“Bunbury has a played a proud role in sprintcar racing in Western Australia for a long period of time and we are grateful for that – and we wish the club well in its endeavours to get a new surface in place.
“The overall calendar is very close to being finalised and we can’t wait to share some more exciting news about the series in the very near future.”

Landon Brooks and Bates-Hamilton Racing claim top 5 at Howard Kaeding Classic
By Gary Thomas
Watsonville, CA…Yuba City’s Landon Brooks has taken a definite liking to the cool confines of Ocean Speedway in Watsonville.
On Saturday night, he proceeded to put forth one of his finest overall outings of the season aboard the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 21L, on way to a fourth-place result at the Howard Kaeding Classic.
After setting a new all-time track record in May at the venue, he continued to display speed while timing in strong both nights and running up front for a majority of the weekend with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.
Brooks and Bates-Hamilton Racing opened the Howard Kaeding Classic on Friday evening by setting fast time in Group A qualifying with a blistering lap of 10.768 around the quarter mile.
A fifth-place effort in his heat race placed the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L into the nights Dash, where he would finish in fifth once again.
A wild main event that took a while to complete saw Brooks settle into seventh at the start, before gaining a position on lap five. He then carved his way into fifth and ran there for a majority of the contest. On lap 20 however, he caught the thick curb, which sent him off track, bringing out a caution.
He eventually went on to finish in 15th at the conclusion.
Coming back on Saturday things got off to another solid start with the 21-year-old pilot timing in second quick in Group A qualifying. A third-place finish in his heat race then put him into the Dash for the second consecutive night.
Following a third-place effort in the six-lap contest it gave Brooks an inside row two starting spot for the HK Classic finale. The 30-lap feature saw rubber come into play and Brooks bounced back and forth between fourth and third during it.
When all was said and done, he crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag in fourth to cap off a strong outing at Ocean Speedway.
“We had good speed all weekend at the HK Classic,” Brooks stated. “We qualified well each night and should have ran top five at least on Friday, but I just made a mistake and jumped the curb. I felt good both nights in the feature but just needed to be a little better to contend for the lead.”
Next up for Brooks and Bates-Hamilton Racing is a trip down the coast to Santa Maria Speedway for another night of NARC 410 Sprint Car competition.
“I have never been to Santa Maria Speedway before, so I’m looking forward to getting down there,” Brooks commented. “Hopefully we can display the same type of speed that we have been showing.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate while live video will be available via FloRacing.

Tanner Carrick Scores Third Win of Season at Pair of Top-10’s During Busy Weekend in Watsonville, CA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Tanner Carrick continued to show her versatility over the weekend as he not only picked up two Top-10’s with NARC, but he also scored another Midget Win as he did Double-Duty on Saturday night.
“It was another busy weekend, and I am happy to pick up another midget win,” Tanner Carrick said. “I wish we could have had better runs in the sprint car but with the track conditions it was tough to make up much ground.”
Friday night saw Carrick complete solely in NARC action to open the annual Howard Kaeding Classic. With 30 cars checked in, the Lincoln, CA driver timed in 10th fastest in his qualifying flight after hitting the track early.
Lining up in the third row of his heat race, Carrick settled into the fifth and final transfer position as the field charged into the first set of corners.
Holding onto fifth, Carrick moved into the ‘A’ where he lined up in the 18th starting position on the extremely slick Ocean Speedway surface. When the race came to life it was immediate paused for a wreck, and that became the theme of the night.
With the race struggling to get into a flow, Carrick was able to pick up a position or two during each restart as he worked his way towards the Top-10. When the extremely long race came to an end, Carrick was able to gain nine spots as he finished in 9th.
Saturday night brough on a busy night for Carrick as he back aboard his family owned No. 83T sprint car for NARC action, but he was also competing in midget competition as well.
Earning quick time honors in his qualifying flight, Carrick went on to score the win in his heat race and qualify for the all-important Dash.
Drawing the five in the redraw, Carrick’s sixth place finish put him in the third row of the 30-lap Howard Kaeding Classic finale.
Setting into sixth as the race came to life, a restart on the 11th lap saw Carrick work into fifth, before slipping back to seventh on the 16th lap.
Falling to 18th on the 17th lap, rubber began to go down on the speedway and Carrick settled into the Top-10. Hitting his marks, he closed the night out with an eighth place finish.
In Saturday night Midget action, Carrick also earned quick time honors with the ‘Super Series’ before going from fourth to second in his heat race.
Lining up in the second row of the 25-lap feature event, Carrick quickly raced into second as he attacked the ¼ mile bullring. Pacing the early leader for the first half of the race, Carrick made his winning move on the 16th lap as he soared into the top spot.
Out front, Carrick was not to be denied as he went on to score his second Midget win of the season, with his first coming back on July 5th.
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

Dover Rides Consistency to King of the Wings Title
Inside Line Promotions – GLYNDON, Minn. (July 22, 2025) – Jack Dover garnered a trio of podiums and four top fives during a four-race weekend.
That earned the Tim Estenson Motorsports team the overall title during the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars King of the Wings.
“We wanted to win all four nights,” Dover said. “We missed the setup a couple of times and could have been more aggressive a couple of times. However, any time you can run four nights, that’s hard enough as it is. To be able to almost run on the podium every night says a lot. We ended up winning the points so that shows how consistent we were.”
Dover was stout during his debut at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn., last Thursday. He maneuvered from fifth to second place in a heat race, from eighth to sixth place in the dash and from sixth to third place in the A Main.
“We made the moves early in the feature,” he said. “Just over halfway it started laying rubber and it was fall in line. We survived and finished third.”
With River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., raining out on Friday, action shifted to Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D. Dover drove from fourth to second place in a heat race before he finished fourth in the main event.
“At 4:30 that afternoon we were at the dinner table in Grand Forks and found out they scheduled a $3,000-to-win show at 6:30 that night,” he said. “We got our dinner to go, got our stuff from the hotel, went to get the car from Tim’s uncle’s shop and loaded up. We made it to the track at 6:15. Considering we weren’t planning on racing and we were rushing, to finish fourth, we were pretty pleased. The track was really slick and we didn’t tighten the car up enough. That was the difference of being on the podium.”
The dirt track also hosted a race on Saturday. This time Dover charged from eighth to third place in a heat race before he ran second in both the dash and the feature.
“We were doing service on Saturday and I told Timmy he was in charge of the setup,” he said. “It was really hard for me not to ask what he was doing. I told him how I was feeling throughout the night and the car wasn’t far off. That was the first night that Timmy has set the car up and he did a great job. With about six laps to go there was a yellow and I think without it we could have had a shot in traffic, but that’s how it goes.”
The weekend concluded on Sunday at Buffalo River Speedway, where Dover won a heat race. He was fifth in the dash before advancing from fifth to second place in the main event.
“At the beginning of the night the track wasn’t great,” he said. “We were nervous because it was really dry. They kept working it and come feature-time it was great. We got to traffic and everybody was throwing big sliders. That’s how we got to second. With about four laps to go the leader slid off the backstretch. I was planning on going low in turn three to slide him. When he dove to the bottom I was doing that as well. If I kept my momentum up and just ran the top I probably could have had something for him.”
The successful weekend increased Dover’s lead in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings to 41 points.
Dover plans to tackle MSTS 410 Sprint Cars races this Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and Thursday and Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., before heading to Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., on Sunday.

Mallett Posts Fourth-Place Finish at Crowleys Ridge Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (July 22, 2025) – Jordon Mallett recorded his third top-five result of the season last Friday during an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints race at Crowleys Ridge Raceway.
Mallett finished where he started – second – in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event at the dirt oval in Paragould, Ark.
“We were good the last half of the race,” he said. “We made it up to third and on a late-race restart I thought I could get the bottom to work in turns one and two good enough to at least get to second if not take the lead. It had gone away just enough that the guy behind me drove around me. Instead of going from third to second I went third to fourth. I just got back up in line and we finished fourth. Overall, I had a good race car.”
Mallett planned to also compete on Saturday at Riverside International Speedway during the 7th annual Greg Hodnett Memorial.
“I’ve been to West Memphis all my life,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of success there, but I got a bad bounce in hot laps in a spot of the track I’ve driven over 15,000 times. I wound up hard into the wall and crunched the race car. We don’t tear up a lot of equipment often. It was just one of those deals. It was not ideal, but could have been worse.”
Next up for Mallett is an ASCS National Tour race this Saturday at Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo. Mallett has raced at the track once – in June 2014 – when he recorded an eighth-place result.
“I think it’s pretty close to home, about four hours,” he said. “We’ve hit on a few things we’ve been liking. I’ve seen some races contested there on film so I’m eager for the National Tour to be there and I’m looking forward to being there. It’s always racy when I’ve watched it with late models and even sprint cars. I’m hoping we can have a good night.”

Starks Eager for Big Weekend of Racing at Skagit and Grays Harbor
Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (July 22, 2025) – Trey Starks is heading into another marquee event at Skagit Speedway as a favorite.
Starks invades the dirt oval in Alger, Wash., this Friday and Saturday during the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew before heading to Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash., on Sunday. The three nights wrap up the Western Sprint Tour Speedweek presented by the Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
“We’re looking forward to another big event at Skagit as well as getting another race in at Grays Harbor,” he said. “We’ve run well at both tracks a lot the last few years so we have a lot of confidence.”
Starks holds a 64-point lead in the 360ci winged sprint car championship standings at Skagit Speedway entering the event thanks to three wins and five top fives during six starts in the division this season.
Last month, Starks captured the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at the track. This weekend, he aims for his third 360 Nationals title in the last four years after topping the event in 2022 and last season.
“We’ve been really fast throughout both events for many years, but it took a long time before we were able to capitalize at the 360 Nationals,” he said. “We finally did that three years ago and then backed it up last year. Dirt Cup has been the same thing for so long and this year we finally got over that hurdle as well. So it’s exciting heading into the 360 Nationals as the defending event champion as well as this year’s Dirt Cup champion.”
The weekend concludes with an appearance at Grays Harbor Raceway, where Starks has finished second twice this season.
“We don’t have a lot of laps in Elma this year, but have done well the couple of times we’ve raced there,” he said. “It’d be nice to get our first win of the season there on Sunday.”

KCP Racing Tabs Emerson Axsom as New Driver For Remainder of 2025
PETERSEN MEDIA: With Gio Scelzi vacating the seat of the KCP Racing No. 18 last week, the team is moving forward and has named Franklin, Indiana’s Emerson Axsom as the new driver for the remainder of the 2025 season.
“First and foremost I am extremely thankful to everyone involved with the Klassmeyer-Petry Motorsports team for the opportunity they provided me in helping me get to this point,” Axsom said. “We built the team in hopes something like this would happen, and to get the call from Matt Barbara and KCP Racing is a testament to how we have performed, and the KPM guys are in full support of me making this move.”
After Eldora, the KCP Racing team headed to Pennsylvania to regroup, and they are set to make their first start of the year with Axsom on Wednesday night at the BAPS Motor Speedway, where they will rejoin the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
Following BAPS, the team plans to continue their season with the series as they head to Williams Grove Speedway for the Summer Nationals and cap the weekend off at Weedsport Speedway on Sunday night.
Axsom enters the KCP Racing stable amidst a strong season to date which includes a feature event win at Eldora back in June during Ohio Sprint Speedweek and numerous Top-Five results over the country.
“I am excited for the opportunity with KCP Racing and to finish out the season with the World of Outlaws,” Axsom added. “It will be challenging at times getting to some new places, but I’m confident we will be able to adapt and have some good runs.”
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 0, Wins-0, Top-5’s- 0, Top-10’s-0

Outlaw, Woodhull To Close Out July for Empire Super
Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | As the month of July comes to a close, the
Empire Super Sprints are rapidly closing in on the half-way point of their
2025 season. To finish off the month, two more events are on tap, with a
trip to the Outlaw Speedway this Friday, followed by the tour’s lone stop at
the Woodhull Raceway on Saturday.
Friday night, the Empire Super Sprints will compete in the annual Outlaw
Summer Nationals, boasting one of the highest paydays of the season with
$4,010.10 to the winner on the line commemorating the 10th running of the
event. This will be the first of four scheduled stops at the Yates County
oval, as the event scheduled in April fell to Mother Nature. Last July, it
was Matt Tanner who picked up the Outlaw Summer Nationals, and he will be
looking to repeat that feat this weekend.
Saturday night, the tour moves just south to the Woodhull Raceway. Dubbed
‘New Yorks Toughest Bullring’, the high banks of the Woodhull Raceway always
provide some of the best action on the schedule. In 2024, Jared Zimbardi
picked up the win at Woodhull over Billy VanInwegen and Jason Barney.
Additional support on the weekend will come from Lanes Yamaha and Grimes
Dairy equipment. Both companies have signed on as the presenting sponsor of
the Cobra Dash Series dash’s this weekend, with Lanes Yamaha presenting the
dash Friday at Outlaw, and Grimes Dairy Equipment supporting Saturday’s dash
at Woodhull.

Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup
Sarver, PA (July 21, 2025) The Kubota High Limit Racing Sprint Cars have had an interesting run up in the week ahead of Tuesday's Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup to say the least. Fans may indeed need a new lineup card heading into the 34th edition of the Silver Cup and the action could very well be wide open not only with the speed on the track, but also with a chance for any number of first time winners who have had their odds of reaching Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane go up substantially in the past few days. Series regulars Brad Sweet, Aaron Reutzel and Tyler Courtney all suffered unfortunate injuries at Eldora Speedway in both the High Limit Joker's Jackpot and the World of Outlaws King's Royal portion of the week of Sprint Car racing at the famed Rossburg, OH venue.
Courtney, driver of the number 7BC Clauson-Marshall entry will be out for the foreseeable future as he recovers from a reported successful back surgery. Meanwhile, Reutzel is recovering from a broken right foot and Sweet is dealing with the effects of a concussion. However, although the three of them will be missing from the SIlver Cup lineup, the show must go on, and is now a wide open affair. Veteran Ohio based pilot Cole Duncan has been selected to take the reins of Clauson's 7BC entry on Tuesday night, while Reutzel's #87 car has not announced any plans for a replacement at this time. Both Reutzel and Clauson will receive medical provisionals for the immediate time, awarding the teams some points while their driver's are on the mend.
Former Silver Cup champion Kyle Larson and defending champ Rico Abreu will be among the favorites to watch to be certain, however the lineup still packs a tremendous punch as Kings Royal winner Anthony Macri, Brent Marks, Justin Peck, Daison Pursley, Spencer Bayston and Tanner Thorson all look to be in the mix for the $25,000 payday. And, it's always a good bet that a good many heavyweights from Central Pennsylvania and Ohio will be stopping by with even better odds to etch their name on the all time winner's list. Indeed, this could be the year a driver not many thought of comes out of nowhere and makes history at Lernerville Speedway on Tuesday night!
Current Kubota High Limit Racing Sprint Car Series Standings
Kasey Kahne Racing #49 - 1,523 points (-)
Clauson-Marshall Racing #7BC - 1,511 points (-12)
Ridge & Sons Racing #87 - 1,500 points (-23)
Rico Abreu Racing #24 - 1,486 points (-37)
Murray-Marks Motorsports #19 - 1,465 points (-58)
Pits and parking areas will open at 2 PM on Tuesday with grandstands and our free fan pit pass upgrade area (for those who purchased tickets in advance), opening at 4 PM. Campers will need to utilize pit road and register at the pit window (signs will direct campers). Hot laps are scheduled to begin shortly after 6 PM followed by qualifying and opening ceremonies. Reserved tickets are $45 and general admission will be $40.
Blackjack concludes massive Kings Royal effort with top-five; Knoxville return ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (July 21, 2025) - Brian Brown and Brian
Brown Racing did their best to conquer The Big E on Saturday, July 19, and
although they were denied the crown, their effort was near the top,
concluding the $200,000-to-win Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg,
Ohio, with a fourth-place outcome - their third top-ten of the week in four
main events contested.
Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard,
Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer,
Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, started third on Saturday’s
finale grid, setting the tone with a heat race victory over Corey Day,
Carson Macedo, and Logan Schuchart.
As noted, the Kings Royal top-five was Brown’s third top-ten
of the week, opening competition at The World’s Greatest Dirt Track with a
ninth-place result in Wednesday’s Double Down Duel$, followed by an
eight-place result in Thursday’s $100,000-to-win Jokers Jackspot - from 16th
on the A-Main grid. Each of the aforementioned events were sanctioned by
High Limit Racing.
“Overall, just a solid week for our Casey’s | FVP team at
Eldora Speedway,” Brown noted. “Rolled out of the box strong with ninth and
eighth place finishes on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, and after
finishing 15th on Friday we started fourth in the Kings Royal on Saturday,
winning our heat race to set us up. We were strong at the start and actually
pressured Anthony Macri for the lead and took the lead at one point. We ran
probably not the most preferred line but kinda kept with him there before
settling in. Rode in second there for a while before Rico [Abreu] was able
to sneak by us. We were actually able to run those guys down before the
caution/open red. On the restart, just got a horrible start and didn’t get
going right away. Had to work my butt off to get back to fourth. When we got
back to fourth, we could still see those guys ahead of us. The cars around
us and in front of us are the fastest cars in the country, so it’s a great
time to be fast.
“There’s a lot of confidence with our team right now and I like where we’re at,” Brown added. “Looking forward to a trip to Knoxville Raceway this weekend. Working to add some more notes in the book. It’s been a solid couple of weeks…Chad, JB, and Devin have been working hard. We’re looking forward to another solid weekend and month ahead.”

Skagit Speedway
Alger, WA – Racing is back for two exciting nights of action. Join us this Friday, July 25, and Saturday, July 26, for the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob's Burgers and Brew, along with the Hornet Nationals presented by KPro Auto. The 360 Nationals is one of the highest paying 360 races in the nation at $26,000 to win on Saturday night. The Hornets also compete for their highest paying show of the year at Skagit Speedway; $1,250 goes to the winner on Saturday night.
The final tune-up for the 360 Sprint Cars at Skagit Speedway was July 5, and it looked like a routine night for Trey Starks. He set a torrent pace through the field, leading 29 of 30 laps, and was poised to take the checkered flag until trouble struck. Starks was involved in an incident in the final set of corners prompting the yellow flag to fly. The 55 tagged the back of the field while Jesse Schlotfeldt, who had been sitting in second place, took over the top spot. The win was his first of the year in the 360 class and also kept his streak of five top-five finishes in five races alive; Schlotfeldt did miss one night of 360 racing at Skagit Speedway. Starks leads the points battle with 695 points total, with Jason Solwold in second, only 64 points behind, and Colton Heath is third, 86 points behind Starks.
Starks is the defending winner of the 360 Nationals after getting the job done a year ago to take home $15,000 at the time and his second Summer Nationals win in three years. Starks had to battle with Dominic Gorden early after Gorden pulled away with the race lead. Shortly before the halfway point of the main event, there was a red flag, and on the ensuing start, Gorden needed a second push to get the car started, and by Skagit Speedway rules, he was sent to the rear. Gorden raced his way back to second place and closed on Starks in the final five laps, but Starks held him off for the win.
The 360 Nationals features the Sprint Car Challenge Tour (SCCT) this year, while also serving as the anchor leg of the 2025 Western Sprint Tour Speedweek Schedule, Presented by the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. The Tour kicked off at Silver Dollar Speedway on July 18, and Andy Forsberg won the opening night while Chance Grasty won night two at Placerville Speedway on July 19. The Speedweek continues Mon. July 21 at Douglas County Dirt Track, Tues. July 22 at Coos Bay Speedway, Wed. July 23 at Cottage Grove Speedway, Fri. & Sat., July 25-26 at Skagit Speedway, and concludes Sun. July 27 at Grays Harbor Raceway.
The last time the Hornets were at Skagit Speedway was also on July 5 with the 360s. Howard Vos picked up his first win of the year after starting in 11th. In four races for the Hornets, there have been four different winners: Vos, Scott Henry, Colin Sims, and Steve Peters. Vos leads the points with 463, followed by second-place Raven Skaugrud, who is 74 points behind, and Braxton Houseman, who is in third, 88 points behind.
Brian Michelson is a two-time and defending Hornet Nationals Champion after winning last year however he had to beat Steve Peters to do it. Peters took off on the initial green flag of the A-Main event, looking to back up his perfect night that he had on the preliminary night prior. Unfortunately for Peters mechanical gremlins bit him, forcing his night to end early in the A-Main. Michelson took over the race lead and went on to lead the rest of the way.
Before the racing action starts, you can join us on Tuesday, July 22, at BrewCade in Stanwood for the KPro Auto Hornet Nationals party from 5-8 pm! Join for a night filled with cars, drivers, prizes, and a 1v1 Mario Kart Bracket! Then on Thursday, July 24, come hang out at the Bob's Burgers & Brew 360 Nationals Kick-Off Party from 5:00-7:00 pm at the Burlington Bob's, where we will have more cars, drivers, and prizes!

Kaleb Johnson Nets Two Top 10s During Double Duty at Knoxville Raceway
Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 21, 2025) – Kaleb Johnson produced a pair of top-10 results last Saturday at Knoxville Raceway, where the Team DGRD driver did double duty by racing in two divisions.
Johnson’s best result came in the 410ci winged sprint car division. He was third quickest in his qualifying group before advancing from sixth to third place in a heat race. A seventh-place outing in the main event wrapped up the action.
“We qualified well and went forward in the heat race,” he said. “We just missed it a little in the feature. I was really good on entry, but once I hit the center I’d lose the right rear and spin the tires from the center of the corner down the straightaways.”
Johnson earned the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars during the 360ci winged sprint car division main event. He was seventh quickest in his group’s qualifying session and he placed fifth in a heat race. A runner-up result in a B Main advanced Johnson to the rear of the field for the A Main.
“We qualified decent, especially for how late we went out,” he said. “I didn’t get a good start and my wing pulled back until two or three laps to go in the heat race. We were able to transfer through the B Main. I knew starting in the back of the feature would be tough. Once you get spaced out it’s tough to get moving and passing cars. We lucked out with some cautions at the end and I was able to make the most of it to get a top 10.”
Johnson hustled from 24th to a ninth-place result.
This week showcases five nights of competition with Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Car Series 410 Sprint Cars races on Tuesday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and Thursday and Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn. Saturday features a return to Knoxville Raceway before the weekend wraps up on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., where Johnson leads the championship standings by 28 points.
“I’m excited to get out and race as much as we can,” he said. “I’m excited and confident and hoping for a smooth week.”
QUICK RESULTS –
July 19 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa (410 sprint car) – Qualifying: 3; Heat race: 3 (6); Feature: 7 (5).
July 19 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa (360 sprint car) – Qualifying: 7; Heat race: 5 (3); B Main: 2 (2); Feature: 9 (24).
SEASON STATS –
32 races, 3 wins, 10 top fives, 17 top 10s, 19 top 15s, 22 top 20s

Blackjack concludes massive Kings Royal effort with top-five; Knoxville return ahead
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (July 21, 2025) - Brian Brown and Brian
Brown Racing did their best to conquer The Big E on Saturday, July 19, and
although they were denied the crown, their effort was near the top,
concluding the $200,000-to-win Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg,
Ohio, with a fourth-place outcome - their third top-ten of the week in four
main events contested.
Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard,
Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer,
Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, started third on Saturday’s

us and in front of us are the fastest cars in the country, so it’s a great
time to be fast.
“There’s a lot of confidence with our team right now and I like where we’re at,” Brown added. “Looking forward to a trip to Knoxville Raceway this weekend. Working to add some more notes in the book. It’s been a solid couple of weeks…Chad, JB, and Devin have been working hard. We’re looking forward to another solid weekend and month ahead.”

GETTYSBURG, Pa.

“What a week…that was fun,” Dietrich explained. “We hit the road a little bit and it all worked out to our advantage. Our goal was to get to Knoxville at least once before the Nationals and I think that trip was well worth it. We put some things together that we can utilize next month.
“As far as the Kings Royal, we wanted a little more out of our result, but I’m proud of our effort,” Dietrich added. “To pace the four-wide field is pretty special. That’s a memory that sticks with you. We have another busy stretch ahead. Always working for more.”

Xavier Doney on the move at Knoxville Raceway; Doney-Lawson Racing aims big in upcoming POWRi doubleheader
ByTyler Altmeyer July 21, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (July 21, 2025) – Doney-Lawson Racing’s last minute decision to forgo their plans to attend Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal Week and instead visit The Sprint Car Capital of the World proved beneficial. Not only did Xavier Doney, the oldest of the Doney siblings who pilot the Doney-Lawson Racing | Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, turn valuable laps at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, but the Odessa, Missouri, ace experienced the taste of victory, winning the consolation B-Main before making advancements in the evening’s A.
For Doney, who climbed from 21st to 14th in Knoxville’s 20-lap A-Main, the experience was worth its weight in gold, simultaneously gaining valuable insight from newly appointed team coach and mentor, Sammy Swindell. And with Knoxville Raceway’s annual Knoxville Nationals less than three weeks away, any Knoxville Raceway lap time is great Knoxville Raceway lap time.
With their recent trip to the Sprint Car Capital of the World now complete, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing, and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars will now turn their attention back to POWRi, set to rejoin the Series in a Midwest doubleheader at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, and Macon Speedway in Macon, Illinois, on Friday and Saturday, July 25 & 26. Xavier will roll into Friday’s Iowa visit fourth in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint standings, earning five top-tens in eight feature starts. Natalie, battling for POWRi Rookie of the Year honors in her first full year aboard a 410ci sprint car, is currently 12th in the standings with one top-ten to her credit.
ON DECK: Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing will resume their 2025 campaign with a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints doubleheader at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, and Macon Speedway in Macon, Illinois, on Friday and Saturday, July 25-26.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (July 21, 2025) – It was a hard-fought week in the Buckeye State for Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing, and although the Sandusky, Ohio, native was unable to make waves with High Limit Racing nor the Greatest Show On Dirt, missing main event action in each of the four programs contested on July 16-19, the experience was surreal and unforgettable, already setting aim on the 2026 edition of Eldora Speedway’s coveted, as well as highly sought after Kings Royal Week.
“It’s one of the biggest sprint car events in the world and to be a part of that atmosphere is pretty special. Our results don’t reflect the effort. We did let emotion get the best of us on a few nights, but we still enjoyed the experience,” Chris Andrews was quick to note. “We’ll regroup this week and work to get back on track this weekend with visits to familiar territory.”
Although a frustrating Kings Royal outcome at The Big E, Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, Burdue Insurance, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprint car, did have some success prior, technically opening his busy stretch through the Buckeye State with a top-five at Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio, on Saturday, July 12. The top-five outcome was Andrews’ third of the 2025 season, simultaneously expanding his top-ten count to eight.
The former Attica Raceway Park champ will get a chance at Buckeye State redemption this Friday and Saturday with an Attica/Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) doubleheader.

BOB FREY CLASSIC ALL GO FOR THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT JULY 23
July 20, 2025 - This Wednesday night July 23, 2025, 410-winged asphalt sprint cars will return to Sandusky Speedway for the third running of the Bob Frey Classic. The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com will headline the event along with the Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series and Pro Compacts. The event will officially kick off the annual Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals Week.
Sandusky Speedway opened for business as a quarter-mile dirt track in May of 1950. It was increased to a half mile and paved prior to the 1955 racing season. Over the years it has been the home of Supermodified racing. Ironically in tracks seventy-five-year history, 410-winged sprint have only competed at the speedway six times previously.
Past 410-winged sprint car winners at Sandusky include Jeff Gordon, Troy DeCaire, Aaron Pierce, Jason Blonde, Jimmy McCune and Bobby Santos III. The first-ever 410-winged sprint car event ever held at Sandusky Speedway occurred on August 1, 1989. A young Jeff Gordon picked up the All Star Circuit of Champions victory nearly thirty-six years to the date of this year’s event.
Five-time series champion McCune headlines a stout list of expected entrants that also includes current points leader and defending series champion Joe Liguori.
McCune will seek to add his name to the history books with a possible win in the Bob Frey Classic. A victory Wednesday night would make him the only repeat winner in Sandusky 410-winged sprint car competition and the first repeat Bob Frey Classic winner.
Former MSR winner Davey Hamilton Jr. returns to MSR competition on a mission. He seeks to get the monkey off his back and kick his bad luck to the curb. Hamilton Jr. has been in position to win multiple times in 2025 only to have bad luck derail his chances for success.
Also, on the card for Wednesday’s mid-week event will be the return of the MSR Lights Series. It will give fans a winged sprint car double-header treat. Fans will be treated to twin feature events for the MSR Lights, giving those in attendance the chance to witness three-winged sprint car feature events in the same night.
The MSR Midwest Lights points battle continues to be a back-and-forth affair each week. JJ Henes has a twenty-five-point lead over Charlie Baur. But only 1.5 points separates Baur from third place Andrew Bogusz.
Defending MSR National champion Joe Liguori is expected to make his MSR Lights debut at Sandusky Speedway.
Event Grand Marshal Bob Frey will also be on hand to meet fans and sign autographs early in the night. Frey, a 2022 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee, credits Sandusky Speedway with playing a huge part in his HoF career. He won countless times at the legendary half mile and viewed it as one of his favorite tracks.
Gates for Wednesday’s event open at 4 pm with racing set to begin at 7:45 pm. Adult tickets are $20, Seniors $18, and Kids 6-12 $10.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (July 21, 2025) - It was a roller coaster week in the Buckeye State for Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, and despite a rocky end to an historically prosperous outing, scored 16th in Eldora Speedway’s $200,000-to-win Kings Royal on Saturday, July 19, the ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion has already switched gears, aiming big in an upcoming Pennsylvania Posse invasion that blasts off Wednesday, July 23, at BAPS Motor Speedway.
Despite a Kings Royal that ended short of expectation, the team’s momentum is high and will roll into Pennsylvania with a recent podium score to their credit, doing so in Attica Raceway Park’s annual Brad Doty Classic on Tuesday, July 15. The Fargo, North Dakota, native charged from 16th to third, simultaneously clinching the evening’s Hard Charger Award.
“These Carquest/Advance guys had the car really good here,” Schatz was quick to note following his Attica charge. “Obviously the longer the race went the better we got. I think the cushion was pretty treacherous with several people leading it, and it bit them. If things would’ve fallen our way a little bit, I don’t know if the yellow would’ve come out if we’d have been better or not. That’s part of this race. Forty laps here is pretty grueling. The guys did a great job.”
Once his visit to York Haven, Pennsylvania, is complete, Schatz, ace of Tony Stewart’s Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Curb Records, Martin One Source, No. 15 sprint car, will continue his Posse invasion with back-to-back nights at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 25-26. The two-day Summer Nationals program will award big money and just as much prestige, handing out $12,000 to the winner on Friday followed by a $20,000 check on Saturday. Schatz’ most recent Summer Nationals title occurred in 2019.
Although not-so synonymous with Pennsylvania Posse Country, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will cap their coming weekend with a Sunday visit to Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, New York, on Sunday, July 27. Like The Grove, Schatz is a former winner at Weedsport, actually sweeping the entire evening program in 2022.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Looks for First 2025 Win at Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Chino, CA – July 17, 2025 — Coming off his best Perris Auto Speedway finish of the 2025 season, a fifth-place result on June 21st, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will return to the Riverside County half-mile clay oval this Saturday night, July 19th. Spectator gates at the 29-year old speed plant will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 7:00.
For Tafoya, who recently celebrated his 28th birthday, it will be his fifth start of 2025 at Perris. In the first four races at the track this year, he has achieved three top-10 finishes. Besides his fifth-place showing last month, he came home eighth at the track on April 5th and was ninth in the annual Salute to Indy at the end of May. His fifth-place run last month equaled his performance at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway on February 22nd. The only race at Perris this year that he did not finish in the top 10 occurred on March 1st, when his belts came loose in the car, and he finished 13th.
Before the 30-lap main event last month, Tafoya qualified sixth fastest in the 20 car field. He then placed fourth in his 10-lap heat race. The Chino Hills, California resident started on the pole and led the first seven laps of the main event. He ended up taking fifth after a tough battle for positions five through 10 late in the race.
On Saturday, Tafoya, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Sprint Car Champion and the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, will only be making his third July appearance at the local track since the end of Covid. In 2021, he finished third in the July race on the oval affectionately known as The PAS, and last year he was seventh. In 2022 and 2023, he spent July racing with the USAC National Sprint Car Series in the Midwest.
To see Tafoya and the rest of the USAC/CRA stars in action on Saturday, spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the first green flag will wave at 7:00.
Ticket Information
13 and over: $35 Kids (6-12): $10 Children 5 and under: FREE Fairgrounds Parking: $20

FREY SET TO RETURN TO SANDUSKY SPEEDWAY FOR RACE NAMED IN HIS HONOR
July 18, 2025 - Elyria, Ohio native Bob Frey will return to Sandusky Speedway for the third edition of the race named in his honor, The Bob Frey Classic, this Wednesday night July 23.
Frey, 74, who now calls home Wickenburg, Arizona, cut his teeth in the early years of his racing career at the half-mile Sandusky Speedway. The 2022 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee recently explained that the majority of his early career wins came at Sandusky running sprint cars/supermodifieds.
“LoraIn County Speedway (now Lorain Raceway Park) may have been my home track due to proximity to Elyria where I grew up, But Sandusky Speedway was equally as much a home track. We would run Lorain every Saturday night and then Sandusky on Sundays” explained Frey. “I preferred Sandusky more because it was a fast half mile and I liked going fast. I also won more at Sandusky than I did at Lorain”.
Frey returns to Sandusky Speedway this Wednesday night for a special mid-week event named in his honor. It will be the third such time the race has carried his name. The Bob Frey Classic will feature the fire breathing Must See Racing 410-winged sprint cars, Midwest Lights winged sprint cars, and Pro Compacts.
The event will officially kick off Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals Week. This will be the only time in 2025 fans can witness 410-winged sprint cars at the speedway.
The pavement sprint car legend left his Arizona home on Tuesday afternoon by way of his motorcycle. He plans to take his time getting to Sandusky while stopping to visit friends along the way.
Frey has experienced a love hate relationship with Sandusky Speedway over the years. Not only has it been the site of countless feature victories, it has also been the home of two very serious racing accidents in 1974 and 1981.
In May of 1974, the day after qualifying on the pole position for the Little 500, and setting new one and four lap track records, Frey suffered the most serious crash of his racing career. He flipped the Ernie Ensign #37 in turn three, and in the process, broke his arm.
While recovering from his accident in the hospital, Larry Dickson drove his car to a Little 500 victory two weeks later. It was a race Frey to this day feels he should have won.
Frey would go on to win five total Little 500 victories, three United States Auto Club National Sprint Car Series wins, and a USAC Silver Crown win as highlights of his career. He also dabbled in the IndyCar Series from 1980-82 with three failed attempts to crack the Indy 500 starting field.

Lernerville Speedway
Sarver, PA (July 17, 2025) It will be a full night of Fab4 Racing Revved UP with Marburger Farm Dairy on tap Friday as the Glassmere Fuel Service Late Models return for the first time since June 27 and are joined by the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars, Diehl Automotive Big Block Modifieds and the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stocks. Also taking place on Friday will be our inaugural Bike Night as well with plenty of motorcycles all polished off and on display, ready for fans to feast their eyes upon. They'll be taking a parade lap around The Action Track on Friday night and fans can check them out behind the turn four grandstands in our vendor area. On the track, the points battles are finally starting to take shape and sharpen as well with Mother Nature's hold on the early part of the schedule having abated and allowing more racing over the past few weeks.
Last week, invader Jason Shultz stopped by and collected the win in Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Car action. Carl Bowser continues his lead atop the standings as he finds himself three markers ahead of defending champion AJ Flick who is still in search of his first feature win at Lernerville in 2025. Look for a few different cars in the lineup and some surprise visitors as Friday night represents the final chance to get some quality seat time in preparation for the upcoming Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup on Tuesday, July 22. The Glassmere Fuel Service Late Models have only completed two points races thus far due to rain and a pair of off nights when national touring series were close by such as last Friday night. Currently, Logan Zarin leads defending champion Michael Norris by three points heading into Friday night, and also three points ahead of opening night winner and former track champion Ken Schaltenbrand.
Another tight points battle resides within the Diehl
Automotive Big Block Modified standings as just one point separates
defending champion Garrett Krummert and former champion Jeremiah
Shingledecker. Amazingly, the top five cars are all within 12 points heading
into Friday night's racing action. Last Friday night, Ransomville, NY
invader Erick Rudolph took the winnings back home with him as he made his
way to Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane in BRP Modified Tour Action.
Cody Koteles may have firmed up his lead in the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro
Stocks with a feature win last Friday night, but Jacob Dietz threw his hat
in the ring as far as title contention goes with a win earlier in the
evening in the previously held over feature from June 27 which kicked off
the night of racing.
Current Glassmere Fuel Service Late Model Standings:

TRI STATE AUTO RACING NEWS RETURNS IN 2025!!
By Jim Balentine
After the final issue of the last RPM racing news was
printed in the late 2010s a void occurred in the Rich history of the
tri-state area of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York as no local paper or
website was covering the area focusing primarily on the many local race
tracks some of which have been around since the 1950s.
The history of tri-state auto racing news goes back to the late 1960s as
Greensburg Pennsylvania’s Vern and Vi Spencer began publishing a weekly
newspaper, which focused on the local racing contingent from the three
nearby states, a vast difference from the national racing papers of Speed
sport, Speedway illustrated, and area auto racing news. Experienced writers
along with weekly columnists and professional photographs from all the track
photographers made the local drivers regionally known week in and week out.
Throughout the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s Tri state auto racing news
would become an essential part of the region as it would be one of the few
newspapers to cover racing from Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and West
Virginia. The Spencer’s would eventually sell the paper due to health issues
to local racing announcer and PR man Dave Kittey, and Dr David Horne.
Experienced columnists would write about their weekend adventures at the
local tracks, which would provide more in-depth information than the regular
press releases. Rich Berry; Dave Kittey; D.J. Cline; Dave Dragovich; and
current writers Walt Wimer and Chuck Bollinger would entertain everyone with
their creative writing skills which would paint a picture of what they
witnessed in person each week. Even current floracing announcer Dustin
Jarrett got his start with Tri state auto racing news in his teenage years.
The photographers who would contribute to the paper is a Hall of Fame list
with names such as Al and Bob Spekis; Jim Smith; Dan and Linda Fennell; Karl
Kammerer; Jay Pees; Bill Truby; Brian Underwood; and current photographers
Jim Balentine; Derek Bobik; Tommy Hein; and Howie Balis all put a face to
the names of the drivers. Dave Kittey and Dr. David Horne would eventually
sell the paper to the Sammons family and area auto racing news based out of
Trenton New Jersey, which has left a void of in-depth local racing coverage
for many years in the local press.
This spring of 2025 a group of local racing media came together to try to
bring back major coverage of the three state area, and after careful
consideration, have decided to bring back ”tri-state auto racing news” as an
prominent online presence. The website will consist of news, results,
columnists, and will feature photographs of the talented group of
photographers around the area. It will cover both dirt and asphalt primarily
local with a little bit of national coverage all to promote the local
drivers from this rich area of racing. The website URL will be
www.tristateautoracingnews.com and there will also be a Facebook page as
well. More information regarding track and sanction body submissions And
advertising potential will be forthcoming. Please stay tuned for the return
of Tri state auto racing news.
CRSA SET TO MAKE SECOND TRIP OF 2025 TO THUNDER MOUNTAIN
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – July 16, 2025
After coming off a successful three race weekend, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints took a weekend off for some needed rest and regrouping. CRSA is ready to get back to action at Thunder Mountain Speedway in Center Lisle for round two of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.
Last month, when the series ran at Thunder Mountain, it was Johnny Smith who made a late race pass on Zach Sobotka to score his first career CRSA victory.
It is the 18th time CRSA has visited Thunder Mountain Speedway.
In addition, CRSA drivers, crews and officials are pinking out Saturday for #TanaStrong. We encourage fans and those a part of Thunder Mountain to wear pink in support of Tana Robinson, Ransomville Speedway general manager and Land of Legends Raceway Marketing and Operations Director, in her battle against breast cancer, along with those who have been affected by it.
Here’s a look at the storylines.
Tune In: Action can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV with Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features live timing, entry lists, fantasy and results.
Last Time Out: The series held its first tripleheader to celebrate the Fourth of July with the Independence Day Triple Play.
The series began with a $1250-to-win show July 3 at Land of Legends Raceway to kick off the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge.
A lead change happened early in the feature when Bobby Parrow went two-for-one on polesitter Jordan Hutton and Darryl Ruggles, but charging through on restarts was Jeff Trombley.
The No. 3A moved up to second on lap five, then grabbed the lead the following lap on another restart to take the win over Parrow and Dillon Paddock.
“I had been moving around the track a little bit and found a little something going into one,” Trombley said on the restart. “I was just hoping they left me that lane open. I got a good run.”
The win is Trombley’s fourth at Canandaigua and the 16th of his career, extending his lead on the all-time wins list.
July 4 was the inaugural trip to Ransomville Speedway. Many drivers wore cowboy hats on their journey out to Wild Western New York to win a complete set of Keiser Aluminum Wheels. Scott Landers won the drawing.
Unfortunately, lap one of the feature, Landers flipped his No. 33. He was shaken up but OK.
Steve Glover led early before Dillon Paddock took the lead from him and kept a two-second lead intact for his second win of the season. Coincidentally, the win came exactly one year after his first career CRSA victory at Land of Legends.
“We felt pretty good unloading,” said Paddock. “We’ve been throwing everything at this car for the last few days with some of these slick tracks we’ve been going to, so it feels good to pass a couple of cars. To get by was key early.”
Timmy Lotz scored his best CRSA finish in second and Zach Sobotka rounded the podium in third to continue his trend of a top five in every race.
Concluding the Triple Play was the inaugural Jason Quigley Memorial, which paid out $1750 to the winner, along with many other prizes and contingencies courtesy of Adam and Stacy DePuy, as well as iFreeze and many other partners.
Lance Dusett and Bobby Parrow brought the field to green. Parrow, who has been dominant in weekly action at Land of Legends this season, checked out from the drop of the green flag to score his second win of the season, the fourth of his CRSA career.
“First annual for the Quigley family, it’s huge. What [Adam and Stacy] did for this, raising all the money, giving all the lap money, even got it up and through the pack, it’s very generous.”
Dusett recorded his best CRSA finish in second while Paddock rounded out a phenomenal week in third after going from eighth to third on the final restart.
Championship Battle: Going into the Triple Play last weekend, Zach Sobotka's points lead was at 27 over Dillon Paddock.
With Paddock besting the points leader in all three races, “The Show Stopper” was able to cut it down to 16 through nine races.
Both drivers have two wins on the season, with Sobotka achieving the best results in top fives, nine to seven and top tens, nine to eight.
At Thunder Mountain, Sobotka beat Paddock by one position (second to third). However, at the next race in Weedsport, Paddock recorded a pair of runner-up finishes, whereas Sobotka finished fifth last May.
A Hornets Nest for Third: The point standings got interesting in the battle for third two weeks ago.
Despite three finishes outside the top 10 in the Triple Play, Dalton Herrick stays third but now has a lot of company behind him.
With three top 10s last week, including his career-high second, Timmy Lotz has jumped to fourth in points, three points behind Herrick.
Jordan Hutton dropped to fifth, a point behind Lotz.
Nine points behind Hutton is Alysha Bay. "The Queen of Speed" is coming off her best finish of the season in fifth at Land of Legends, in addition to an eighth-place run at Ransomville.
Despite his flip at Ransomville, Scott Landers scored a seventh and eighth at Land of Legends.
14 points separate third through seventh in points.
Rest of Standings: Spencer Burley has dropped to eighth, 164 points, Darryl Ruggles is ninth back 181 and Tomy Moreau rounds out the top 10, 208 points back. Vince Chicklets is 11th, 285 back and Bailey Boyd 339 behind.
Heating Up: A couple of drivers have started to improve in the last handful of races.
After starting off with no top fives in the first four races, the Ruggles-Bay Racing team has put together four top fives in the last five races.
Ruggles, past champion in 2020, has put up three top fives in those last five races and three straight top 10s. “The Motorized Madman” scored a third-place finish last month at Utica-Rome and stayed consistent throughout the Triple Play, with a pair of fifths at Land of Legends July 3 and Ransomville the following night.
Alysha Bay is coming off back-to-back top 10 runs, with a fifth last time out at Land of Legends. "The Queen of Speed" looks to grab her third straight top 10. Bay has six this year, tied for the third most this season alongside Dalton Herrick. An excellent run for her could move her up as high as third in the points standings.
In three of the last four races, Scott Landers has put together top-10 runs, with his best finish of the year being a fifth at Fulton. The lone exception was his DNF at Ransomville after flipping his No. 33 on the first lap while running 10th.
Finally, despite missing the last race, Bailey Boyd is coming off his career-best finish, a fourth at Ransomville. It is Boyd's first career top five in CRSA competition and his first top 10 since placing eighth at Skyline last season. In his first full-time season, Boyd looks to use his fourth-place run as momentum entering Thunder Mountain.
Can he win again?: The last time he was at Thunder Mountain, Johnny Smith showed the way to victory lane in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series opener.
It was “The Firecracker Kid’s” first career CRSA victory after having a decade of experience with the 305 Sprint series.
Some consider it the Smith Family's best track in CRSA competition. Last year in the season opener, Johnny suffered a mechanical failure inside the top three after leading. Additionally, last month, Johnny's dad, Sheldon Smith, led most of the race.
Loyalty Giveaways: 20 drivers remain eligible for the Sweet variety pack giveaway. Any of the 20 drivers who entered our shows at Outlaw and Thunder Mountain and race Saturday, plus Outlaw Aug. 8, will be entered into a giveaway for the Sweet ½ Box, Power Steering Pump, Wing Cylinder and Gen 2 Wing Valve.
By the Numbers: At Thunder Mountain, 14 different drivers have taken a checkered flag. Only one driver has won multiple features in Center Lisle, Dalton Herrick, with four; the last time was in 2021. Herrick has 10 top fives, five in front of Billy VanInwegen. 49 different drivers have finished in the top five.
From the Frontman: “After a weekend off, we’re glad to get our sprint cars back out to Thunder Mountain. The last few races there have not disappointed and we hope it comes down to the wire again like it did last month!” ~ Mike Emhof
Up Next: CRSA returns to Weedsport Speedway July 26 for an exciting weekend of sprint car racing in New York. Another edition of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge is ahead. Can’t make it? See the action live on DIRTVision.

After Best USAC/CRA Finish of the Year at Santa Maria, Jeff Dyer Takes on Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Yucca Valley, CA – July 16, 2025 — After enduring a challenging start to the season in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, Jeff Dyer finally found some momentum two weeks ago at Santa Maria Speedway, finishing 11th in the 30-lap main event. That marked his best result of the year in the ultra-competitive 410 non-wing sprint car series. Now, the Yucca Valley-based racer hopes to improve on that finish when the series returns to its home track—Perris Auto Speedway—this Saturday night, July 21st.
At Santa Maria, Dyer qualified 14th and placed fifth in his 10-lap heat race. Starting 13th in the feature, the California Highway Patrol Officer saw a spin deprive him of his first top-ten of the season.
While the 410 effort ended on a high note, mechanical gremlins hampered Dyer’s effort in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series that night. After qualifying fourth fastest and finishing fifth in the first heat, he lost an oil cap during the second heat race, which led to oil loss. The result was a spun bearing that ended his night prematurely.
Dyer’s young teammate, 16-year-old rookie Drake Cardey of Riverside, also had a rollercoaster evening. Making his debut on Santa Maria’s 1/3-mile clay oval, Cardey impressed right out of the gate, qualifying second fastest. He followed that up with a third-place result in his first heat and a win in his second heat.
Starting on the pole for the Lightning Sprint main, Cardey led the first 15 laps and appeared to be on his way to a breakout win. However, disaster struck entering turn three on lap 16 when his car belched smoke and coasted to a stop—another victim of engine failure. He was credited with a seventh-place finish.
Following that event, Cardey headed east for a four-race Midwest tour in a 600cc non-wing micro sprint prepared by the legendary Keith Kunz Motorsports. Despite never having driven a micro before, Cardey made the A-Main all four nights against stacked national fields—winning a heat race, a B-Main, and showing remarkable speed and racecraft.
Night 1: 5th place at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex (MO) Night 2: From 15th to 6th at Mitchell County Fairgrounds (KS) Night 3: 7th place at Jefferson County Speedway (NE) Night 4: Charged from 13th to 4th before hitting an infield tire and breaking the steering, resulting in a 21st-place finish
Despite the final night’s misfortune, Cardey left a strong impression on fans and industry insiders watching via Flo Racing with his aggressive, fearless driving style.
Fans can catch Dyer and the USAC/CRA stars in action this Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., and racing begins at 7:00 p.m.
Ticket Prices:
Adults (13 & over): $35 Seniors (65+): $30 Kids (6–12): $10 Children 5 & under: Free Fairgrounds Parking: $20
Tickets are available in advance at www.tix.com. Tickets will also be available at the gate on race day.
Venue Info: Perris Auto Speedway 18700 Lake Perris Drive Perris, CA 92571 www.perrisautospeedway.com (951) 940-0134
Cardey’s California Lightning Sprint Car is sponsored by Eibach Springs, Cardey Construction, Jake Swanson Shock Technology, Last Lap Insider, and Dylan Godeniz Motorsports.
In 2025, the following marketing partners will help keep Dyer on track. Straight Time Stirrups, Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.
Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2025 season.

Hartmann mounts Outlaws charge, eyes Knoxville dream
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 16, 2025 – In a season haunted by mechanical maladies and misfortune, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team encountered more of the same early before coming on strong late to cap an eventful night with the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, July 12.
The Plymouth, Wis. driver’s fifth night of competition with the World of Outlaws in 2025 started on a sour note as his machine failed to fire for hot laps, qualifying and heat race action.
After finally diagnosing a problem with the car’s fueling system, Hartmann put together an inspired drive from 12th to sixth in the Last Chance Showdown to earn the final transfer spot into the 40-lap Larry Hillerud Memorial main event.
The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car rookie of the year drove a smooth and steady A main to finish 19th from the 24th starting spot.
“Man, what a struggle,” Hartmann, “We found out the tail tank was causing the car not to fire. It was the same one the car ran on the race prior. I didn’t really keep my composure at all. Then, when we pushed off for the B main, I realized I lost rear brakes, so that made it even worse in the B [Last Chance Showdown]. All in all, I can’t thank the Goldsberrys, Neumans and Dave Uttech enough for brainstorming and helping to get the car running. The car runs great now.”
Hartmann is ready to hit the road to Iowa to make his debut at the most renowned track in the sport of Sprint Car racing this Saturday, July 19.
“We will regroup and focus on Knoxville Raceway this weekend,” Hartmann said. “Racing at Knoxville is a lifelong dream. It’s finally coming true.”
Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with hot laps at 6:45 p.m. and racing commencing at 8 p.m. for the Knoxville Raceway weekly 410 Sprint Car program on historic half-mile semi-banked black dirt oval.
The event will be live-streamed on dirtvision.com.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Continue Winning Ways in 2025
with Dominant Path Valley Weekend
Spring Run, PA – July 15, 2025
by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
Tony Jackson and the Scott Hess Racing team are showing no signs of slowing down in 2025, as Jackson added two more wingless Sportsman victories and a runner-up finish over a stellar two-night stretch at Path Valley Speedway Park this past weekend. The strong showing brings Jackson’s season total to nine feature wins and further cements the team’s momentum as one of the top forces on the regional circuit.
“I feel pretty good about the way the car is running here right now,” said Jackson. “The goal this year was to have fun and when you’re winning races it’s easy to do as much.”
Kicking off the weekend on Friday night, Jackson took to the track for a make-up feature event, part of the prestigious Butch Shatzer Memorial. Battling through a competitive field, Jackson proved to be a front-runner, driving to a strong second-place finish and narrowly missing out on a win.
Later that evening, Jackson rolled off from the pole position in the night’s regularly scheduled A-main and wasted little time opening up a lead on the field. With precise execution and relentless pace, Jackson held onto the lead and never looked back, capturing his eighth win of the season.
“The track was pretty slick and tough to pass on, but we went fourth to second in the makeup and then lead every lap from the pole in the main show,” he said. “I really just had to find the right pace and hit my marks and ultimately we grinded out a win.”
Not satisfied with just one victory, Jackson and the Hess Racing team returned to Path Valley on Saturday night. After winning his heat race and earning a fourth-place starting spot for the A-main, Jackson wasted no time surging to the lead by the end of lap one. From there, he controlled the pace and crossed the line first to collect his ninth victory of the 2025 campaign.
“The guy running second had his noise under me there on the last lap, so we almost gave one away,” said Jackson. “Anytime you get to the front early you have to take advantage of it and we were fortunate enough to grab yet another checkered flag.”
Next up, Jackson will take part in a two-race weekend, with events scheduled at Williams Grove on Friday and Lincoln Speedway on Saturday. Friday night will see Jackson piloting Mike Callahan’s 358 Sprint Car, while Saturday marks a return to winged Sportsman competition with Hess.
“The 100 lapper is coming up so we’re really focused on trying to get our winged program right here towards the end of the season,” he said. “Aside from that, it’s nice that Mike is giving me some opportunities in the 358 and I’m really looking forward to seeing how we can do in that car.”
Fans can follow Jackson and Scott Hess Racing on social
media for updates, race recaps, and more coverage as they continue their
remarkable 2025 season.
ABOUT TONY JACKSON
With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike. He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman ranks.
Career highlights include winning the Super Sportsman 100-lapper in 2023, winning the winged and wingless super sportsman features on the same night in 2022, and amassing 46 career Super Sportsman wins!

Albany-Saratoga, Fonda On Deck for Empire Super Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | After a much-deserved weekend off following a grueling 2025 CNY Speedweek, the Empire Super Sprints are set to spring back into action this weekend. With their only trip of the season to the far-eastern side of New York, the tour will stop Friday at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY and Saturday at the Fonda Speedway in Fonda, NY.
Friday’s visit to Albany-Saratoga will be the 35 ESS event at the 4/10 mile oval, with the first event dating all the way back to July 13, 1985 when Gordy Button picked up the win. Recently, it was Danny Varin in victory lane, winning last year’s stop just north of the state capital.
Saturday, the tour heads an hour down the road to the Fonda Speedway for the annual Earl Halaquist Memorial. Earl Halaquist Memorial was one of the most accomplished sprint car drivers in the Northeast in his time. Competing across NY, NJ, PA, VA, NC, MD VT, Canada and more, Halaquist amassed 53 URC wins and six championships. Halaquist, a World War II veteran, was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, IA in 2000 before his passing in 2001.
While there have been 15 different winners in 28 events at the Fonda Speedway through the years, recently it has been almost all Danny Varin in victory lane. Varin has won every ESS event at the track since August of 2017 with the exception of 2023 when Shawn Donath spoiled the streak for a total of 8 wins in 9 starts. All eyes will be on the tour’s most recent winner to see if he can go 9 for 10 on Saturday.
After 5 races in 5 nights through CNY Speedweek, the year-end points battle is starting to take shape. Defending champion Jordan Poirier still sits atop the standings with 1133 points, and Speedweek champion Dylan Swiernik is in second with 982 points. Jason Barney follows with 913 points in third, while Paulie Colagiovanni (857 points) and Logan Crisafulli (854 points) complete the top five.
A full listing of gate times and prices, along with a nightly schedule of events for this weekends events at Albany-Saratoga and Fonda can be found on the tracks social media pages and website, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages.
For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints).

Friday, July 25 – Outlaw Speedway – Dundee, NY ($4,000 to Win Outlaw Summer Nationals)
SCCT ready to tackle Western Sprint Tour Speedweek on July 18th-27th
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…For the second consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed for Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which showcases eight nights of racing at seven different venues from California to Washington.
Everything kicks off in a big way at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway this Friday July 18th with the 12th annual “Tyler Wolf Memorial” race. It will be a definite highlight of Speedweek, as we honor the late racer. It also doubles as Fan Appreciation Night, with grandstand tickets costing just $5. Kids 12 and under will be free.
When 20-year-old Tyler Wolf lost his life at Calistoga Speedway in 2012, it was one of the darkest days in recent memory for the California racing scene. The Redding native had captured the Silver Dollar Speedway track title one year prior and was well liked throughout the pit area.
The event in his memory continues to be one of the special shows each season at Silver Dollar Speedway and is the only SCCT visit of 2025.
One night later Speedweek rolls on with the $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start “Gold Pan Rampage” at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 19th. It marks the final Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour appearance of the season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds quarter mile.
Monday July 21st begins a trio of races in Oregon all starting at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg. Tuesday July 22nd then brings the Sprint Car Challenge Tour to Coos Bay Speedway, followed by Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday July 23rd.
A travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the SCCT debut at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington for the two-night “Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals” presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew, highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/ $1,000-to-start main event on Saturday July 26th.
With a unique format on tap at Skagit Speedway, both nights will feature show up points only in the season-long championship race.
SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek all comes to a climax on Sunday July 27th at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. The “Hall of Fame 360 Battle Royale” marks the first series appearance at the track.
The overall SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion will take home $4,000 as part of an $8,000 total point fund. The runner up nets $2,500 while third place will claim $1,500.
Each Shop Kyle Larson main event during Speedweek will hand out a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the 24-car field.
After winning the most recent event, 18-year-old Chance Grasty sits atop the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings heading into Speedweek. Sacramento’s Austin Wood, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Yuba City’s Seth Standley and Marysville’s Dawson Hammes complete the top five.
Additional competitors looking to be a common sight during Speedweek will include reigning Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year Braden Chiaramonte from El Cajon, two-time Skagit 360 Nationals winner Seth Bergman of Snohomish, Washington, Marysville’s Carson Hammes, Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires, Modesto’s Tony Gomes, Arlington, Washington’s Jesse Schlotfeldt, Redding’s Max Mittry, Cotati’s Jake Haulot, Brentwood’s Adriana Demartini, Visalia’s Jett Barnes, Santa Rosa’s Tyler Cato and others.

Perfect pass punctuates Pokorski’s first Plymouth win
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 15, 2025 – As last-lap passes go, Alex Pokorski’s slide job to steal the victory in the 25-lap Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, July 12, will not soon be forgotten.
Pokorski’s final lap heroics propelled him to not just any race win, but his first career PDTR 360 Sprint Car main event victory at his home track.
The night got off to a strong start as the West Bend native recorded his second consecutive fast qualifier award in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition with a lap of 12.853 seconds to lead the 23-car field.
In the first eight-lap heat race, Pokorski advanced to third from the fourth starting spot to gain the pole position in the 25-lap main event.
After leading the first three laps, Pokorski relinquished the top spot to Billy Kreutz on lap 4. As the laps wound down, slower traffic became an issue for Kreutz, which allowed Pokorski to cut the gap significantly before making a bid for the lead to no avail on lap 19.
Three laps later, Pokorski ripped off a slide job in turn four to briefly take the lead. However, Kreutz battled back to reclaim the top spot with a slide job of his own in turn one on lap 23.
On the final circuit, Pokorski wound up tight and unleashed a thrilling race-winning slide job in turn two to seize the top spot en route to his first career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory and second career Midwest Sprint Car Association main event win.
It was Pokorski’s first MSA victory since June 2, 2023 at Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis.
In five PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car starts in 2025, Pokorski has racked up an A-main victory to go along with three additional podium finishes and a lowest finish of ninth.
“That race was a lot of fun,” Pokorski said. "I think it's more rewarding than the last one because we had to really work for it, both on and off the track. The race I had with Billy [Kreutz] with the slide job to win on the final lap is how you dream of winning them. Dave [Schultz], Randy [Leamer] and my dad [Paul Pokorski] did a great job of helping me get the car set up just right. Also, getting our second quick time award in only five events with MSA was the cherry on top. Those results show we have a little more speed than last year, in addition to our feature finishes.”
Next up for the team is a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series tripleheader starting Friday, July 25 at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., moving to Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, July 26 and closing at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, July 27.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Record Runner-Up Result at Wilmot Raceway
Inside Line Promotions - WILMOT, Wis. (July 14, 2025) - Big Game Motorsports made the most of a rainy weekend by scoring its 23 rd podium result of the season on Saturday at Wilmot Raceway.
Following rainouts on Thursday at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., and Friday at Wilmot Raceway, David Gravel led the team to a runner-up result during the lone World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series race of the weekend on Saturday.
Gravel qualified fourth quickest before he finished second in a heat race, earning a spot into the dash. A run from fourth to second place in the dash lined Gravel up on the outside of the front row in the main event.
"I thought it was a good night," he said. "We qualified solid and heat raced pretty good. We were proud of the dash, starting fourth and running second. That gave us the opportunity to try to win that race. I felt we were the fastest car at the end of that race."
Gravel ran second throughout the feature, but had a couple of close bids for the lead in the closing laps.
"Just getting by a couple of lapped cars better," he said of what he needed. "When I slid Buddy (Kofoid) in turns one and two I could have drove across harder and made him slow down or turn left. I gave him just enough room to get by. That was not my only chance, but my biggest chance."
The strong outing marked Gravel's 34 th top five in 40 race starts this season.
He leads the World of Outlaws championship standings by 180 points.
A busy five straight nights of racing in Ohio is on tap this week with the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by DAC Vitamins and Minerals on Tuesday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica. That is followed by the Double Down Duels and Joker's Jackpot with Kubota High Limit Racing on Wednesday and Thursday and the Knight Before the Kings Royal and the 42 nd annual Kings Royal on Friday and Saturday with the World of Outlaws at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio.
Gravel has three World of Outlaws wins at Attica Raceway Park and the track record as well as seven triumphs with 'The Greatest Show on Dirt' at Eldora Speedway, including one earlier this season.
"One of the most fun weeks of the year," he said. "It's a long week and stressful week, but we're definitely looking forward to it. Being the defending champion of the race, it would be really cool to back up what we did last year. We're excited for the challenge."

Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing put together season best finish at Placerville thriller
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox put forth a tremendous rebound after issues early in the evening to charge forward and nearly give Bates-Hamilton Racing its first win of the season on Saturday.
Cox was part of a fantastic battle over the waning stages at Placerville Speedway with eventual winner Jake Andreotti and Andy Forsberg. In the end he was able to secure a runner up finish after starting from row five aboard the Berco Redwood/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales No. 42x Sprint Car.
“With Placerville’s format these days it really helps you rebound since every spot in a heat race matters now,” Cox said. “Being able to use that to our advantage helped save us.”
The evening got off to a rough start with not being able to get a qualifying lap in, for what turned out to be an issue with nozzles and the spark box.
Starting last in his heat race he made good work to move into third by the finish and vastly improve his starting spot for the feature.
Lining up in the fifth row for the 25-lapper Cox wasted no time at all, jumping into sixth by the time one lap was completed.
The 31-year-old continued his march forward by taking over position number four with nine circuits down. The red clay quarter mile featured quite a bit of character during the main event, which made for some entertaining racing.
Cox reeled in the top two and made it a thrilling three car battle for the win as the laps wound down. He slipped past Andy Forsberg to assume second on lap 21 and quickly began to hound Jake Andreotti for the top spot.
With the white flag in the air, he peeked at the lead down low, but couldn’t quite pull it off, eventually crossing under the checkered with a strong runner up result.
“Josh has been getting me closer and closer, and I’m gaining more confidence since my injury,” commented Cox. “This year was certainly about finding my confidence since getting injured and see if I still wanted to do this. In the main Saturday it gave me a good reminder that I can compete at a fast level, and I enjoyed the heck out of it.”
Cox also spoke about the late race battle up front on Saturday. “The car was on point, and I was able to be in the right spot at the right time with my passes. Had there not been a lap car holding up the bottom on the last lap I think we could have sealed the deal. Jake did a great job though and I am happy for my friend to get his first Pville win.”
The Clarksburg driver looks forward to the rest of the season and hopes to continue building off the momentum from the second-place effort. “I think this run was a turning point for me mentally and I can’t thank BHR enough for sticking with me. I have been feeling like a bit of a headcase lately and really trying to work on that, so hopefully those 25 laps will be a building block.”
Next up for Cox and the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 42x will be Saturday August 2nd back at Placerville Speedway for the Carnett Clash. In the meantime, BHR heads to the annual Howard Kaeding Classic with Landon Brooks at the wheel of the No. 21L Sprint Car.

Joel Myers Jr Debuts with Three Stooges Racing at Florence Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Friday night at Florence Speedway, Joel Myers Jr climbed aboard Jeff West’s Three Stooges Racing No. 51 for the first time and battled with the High Limit Racing Series and came home with a 16th place finish.
“First and foremost I am extremely thankful that Jeff West and everyone involved with Three Stooges Racing have presented me with a great opportunity to compliment my schedule,” Joel Myers Jr said. “It is great equipment, and it is a beautiful car and I think we will be really good as we continue to race and get things ironed out.”
Making their first start together on Friday night at the Florence Speedway in Kentucky, Myers Jr timed the Hi-Plains Building Division/IPC/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 51 in 20th fastest overall in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the fourth row of his heat race, the Sebastopol, CA driver worked his way forward to a sixth place finish which locked him into the 25-lap feature event where he took the green flag from the 17th starting position.
When the race came to life, Myers Jr slipped back to 18th on the opening lap but raced into 15th on the second circuit. Moving into 14th on the sixth lap, Myers Jr found himself in a torrid battle for position on the extremely racy surface.
Slipping back to 16th on the eighth slap, Myers Jr settled in as he chased after the likes of Emmerson Axsom and Zane Devault. As the laps clicked off, Myers Jr was unable to get moving back forward as he was in early laps, as he ended up taking the checkered flag in 16th.
“For it being our first night out with everything new, I thought it went pretty well against a stout field and at a track I’ve never been too before,” Myers Jr added. “Noah and Dyllan did a great job all night, and I’m excited to get a couple more nights with the No. 51 team in this week.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Mallett Racing at Pair of Arkansas Tracks During ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints Weekend
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (July 14, 2025) - Jordon Mallett is tackling an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints doubleheader in his home state of Arkansas this weekend.
Mallett will race on Friday at Crowleys Ridge Raceway in Paragould and on Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis during the 7 th annual Greg Hodnett Memorial.
"It makes for a fun weekend," he said. "It was super fun to win at Crowleys Ridge a few years back. To be able to go from it to West Memphis makes it a nice weekend at a couple of places close to home."
Mallett last competed at Crowleys Ridge Raceway in June 2022 when he was victorious. Prior to that, Mallett hadn't raced at the track since an eighth-place outing in July 2016.
"I remember winning the last time we were there," he said. "I don't remember racing there very often. Normally they run a sprint car special every now and then. A lot of times it was when we couldn't go to it. The last time we were able to go where our schedule lined up was 2022 so I'm looking forward to going back there.
"sIt's a place of its own. It's so small and different. They do a really good job running it and it's standing room only. It's a really cool environment and is special because you don't get to turn a lot of laps there in a sprint car."
Mallett ran second at Riverside International Speedway twice last season.
"I've turned a lot of laps and had a lot of success in West Memphis," he said. "I feel we have the potential to win any time we pull in there. That's a place where I feel we're a car to beat and that's a confidence booster."

Kaleb Johnson Posts Podiums at Jackson, Knoxville and Huset's During Border Battle Weekend
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 14, 2025) - Kaleb Johnson produced a trio of podium results last weekend during the three-race Border Battle.
Johnson and Team DGRD kicked off the tripleheader on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., which hosted the Hefty Seed Merle Johnson Memorial - an event in honor of his grandfather.
Johnson was third quickest in his qualifying group and he placed third in a heat race to line up 13 th in the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event.
"I really wanted to win that bad, but when you start 13 th it makes it tough," he said. "I didn't get the greatest start in the heat race and didn't have the rear grip I needed to make it work. Come feature-time it was the opposite. I could put the car anywhere I needed."
Johnson hustled from 13 th to third place to garner the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
The team headed to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday. Johnson was second quickest in his group and he advanced from sixth to third place in a heat race. The feature inversion lined him up on the pole for the main event.
"It was a complete turnaround from how our year has gone at Knoxville," he said. "We finally qualified well and led some laps. At the end of the day, it felt good to run well there."
Johnson led 10 of the first 12 laps - his first time leading 410ci winged sprint car laps at the track - before ending the race third, which was his best outing of the season at Knoxville Raceway. The strong night moved him to eighth in the championship standings.
"I thought I ran a decent race," he said. "Little decisions here and there I could have done differently. An untimely caution hurt and I think I just lost to two of the best at Knoxville."
The weekend concluded on Sunday at Huset's Speedway, where Johnson set quick time overall. He advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race and from sixth to third place in the main event.
"I felt we had a second-place car," he said. "Certain circumstances didn't play into my favor at the end of the race, but overall it went very well. It was one of those deals where we hung on to run third and live to fight another day."
Johnson's lead in the Huset's Speedway championship standings is 31 points heading into an off weekend for sprint cars at the track. He is slated for double duty - running in both the 410ci winged sprint car and 360ci winged sprint car divisions - this Saturday at Knoxville Raceway.
"It's the best I've felt going into Knoxville all year," he said. "I felt we clicked on something so hopefully we can continue to lay down good qualifying laps and keep up the speed."

Andy Forsberg Third at Placerville Speedway’s Kids Bike Night
PETERSEN MEDIA: Checking in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for Kids Bike Night, Andy Forsberg and the Pacific Highway Rentals team picked up a third place finish in a very entertaining feature event.
“Saturday night was an interesting night,” Andy Forsberg said. “I felt like we had a great car, I just couldn’t put myself in a position to get by Jake Andreotti, and then I ended up letting Justyn Cox get by us and we ended up third.”
Timing the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in fourth fastest in qualifying time trials, Forsberg lined up on the front row of his heat race. Racing his way to the win, the Auburn, CA driver was locked into the redraw where the three pill placed him in the second row of the feature event.
As the 25-lap finale came to life, ‘AF’ jumped into second as he chased after early leader, Jake Andreotti.
Pacing Andreotti, Forsberg just couldn’t seem to put himself in position to pounce and take command of the race as he continued to run in second. As the laps clicked off and he continued to in the runner up position, the last 10-laps turned into a three-car battle as Justyn Cox began to pressure the lead duo.
As the it turned into a high-speed battle through traffic, Forsberg found himself on the short end of the stick as he ended up with a third place finish when the dust settled on the thrilling finale.
“Definitely don’t want to discredit Jake Andreotti by any means because he did a great job to earn his first Placerville win, but I left the night feeling like I left something on the table,” Forsberg added. “I am more mad at myself than anything, but its hard to be mad at a third place finish. We will try again this week at Chico on Friday and back at Placerville on Saturday night.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Starks Bounces Back From Blown Tire at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - ALGER, Wash. (July 14, 2025) - Trey Starks battled back from a late-race problem for the second straight week at Skagit Speedway last Saturday.
Starks opened the program by setting quick time during qualifying.
"I felt really good in hot laps and in qualifying," he said. "We ended up going quick time. We finished fourth in the heat race and that put us in the feature redraw. We ended up drawing the pole.
"The track was pretty slick this week, which generally I like. I didn't get a good start and spun the tires a little more than the guy on the outside. We fell to third on the start. We had a restart with 10 laps in and I got into second. A couple of laps later, entering turn three I hit the cushion a little bit and felt something weird happen. I immediately felt a vibration. It was a big chunk of dirt that came through the wheel cover and knocked the bleeder line off. It's kind of a fluky deal. It has to hit it just right to get through it.
"It got progressively worse. I think I could have dealt with the initial vibration. I could still maintain speed. With about 10 laps to go the vibration started to get really bad to where I couldn't run the car very hard. I was set on limping it the rest of the way home. We fell to third because our pace fell off. With about three laps to go the tire finally let go. We went in, got it changed, restarted 12 th and fought our way back to seventh."
The seventh-place result marked the 16 th top 10 of the season for Starks, who currently leads the Skagit Speedway championship standings by 37 points.
"We had speed and I think we could have won the race," he said. "It's a bummer, but it's just bad luck. I'd much rather get the bad luck out of the way during a weekly show than the 360 Nationals."
Starks will take this weekend off before returning to Skagit Speedway on July 25-26 for the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob's Burgers & Brew followed by a race at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash., on July 27.

Dover Drives to Best 410 Sprint Car Result at Knoxville Raceway Since 2014 Before Capturing Another Top Five at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 14, 2025) - Jack Dover improved his feature result throughout the three-race Border Battle last weekend.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver opened the busy tripleheader on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., which showcased the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars during the Hefty Seed Merle Johnson Memorial. Dover was seventh quickest in his group before he advanced from seventh to fifth place in a heat race. He won the B Main and continued to move forward in the main event, maneuvering from 21 st to 16th.
"We didn't set the car up tight enough for the feature and rode around," he said. "It wasn't great, but wasn't bad."
Dover ventured to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday. He was 10 th quickest in his qualifying group and finished fourth in a heat race. Dover won the B Main to transfer into the back of the feature for the second straight night. This time he drove from 21 st to 13 th for his best 410ci winged sprint car result at the track since August 2014.
"We were just hoping to qualify decent and make the show," he said. "There were 40 cars there and when we got to the track we made our goal to make the show and learn. A 13th-place result was above our expectations so we were happy. In hot laps and time trials, that was the best I've felt in 20 years of racing there. We passed the second most cars on Friday and Saturday so we can't put our heads down."
Dover's best outing occurred on Sunday at Huset's Speedway, where he was fourth quickest in his qualifying group and won a heat race to move into the feature redraw.
"We went out for time trials and stuck the bottom," he said. "We ended up fourth, which put us on the pole of the heat race. We won that and drew the No. 1 for the feature. We got to traffic and I wasn't aggressive enough and let three by me. If I had to go back I'd tighten the car up a little more off exit. But overall, the car was an eight out of 10. It wasn't perfect, but just on the tick of free. If we were a little tighter I probably could have driven through the middle and been more aggressive with the lapped cars."
Dover led the first dozen laps before ending with a fourth-place result, which was his sixth top five of the season. He remains third in the Huset's Speedway championship standings - 11 points out of second place and 42 points behind the leader.
"Overall, I was very happy with the weekend," he said. "The results don't quite show, but every time we went on the track we got better and mostly went forward. It's hard enough to run three nights in a row and stay strong, and I felt we did that."
A four-race weekend with the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars is on tap for the team. It begins on Thursday at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn. River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., hosts a race on Friday followed by a visit to Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D., on Saturday. The weekend wraps up on Sunday at Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minn. It will be Dover's first time competing at both tracks in Minnesota.
"I'm very excited," he said. "We get to go to four tracks and I feel we've hit on a baseline setup. I feel really comfortable with what the car is doing now. I'm believing in what the car can do and it's making my job of driving easier and more enjoyable."
Dover enters the weekend leading the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings by 15 points.

BACK ON TRACK: TKS Motorsports with big runs in Jackson
and Knoxville appearances; Back to the Sprint Car Capital July 19
ByTyler Altmeyer
July 14, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (July 14, 2025) – Despite their weekend getting cut from three starts to two, losing Thursday’s World of Outlaws event in Spring Valley, Minnesota, to Mother Nature, it was a productive weekend in the Midwest for TKS Motorsports and Ian Madsen, eventually closing out their campaign with not only a pair of finishes equaling no worse than 11th, but earning a top-five in the process – the team’s third of the 2025 season.
For TKS Motorsports, the two-race weekend proved vital in their mid-summer stretch, acting as an epic momentum shift and confidence booster, and just in time for Knoxville Raceway’s largest events of the season.
“It was a solid weekend for our team and I’m proud of everyone involved. All it takes is one turnaround and the confidence can lift greatly,” Troy Renfro explained. “We don’t have a lot of time before the Nationals at Knoxville Raceway, so our main focus is going to be on nailing down where we need to be. It’s really hard to believe we’re already at that point of the season. Regardless, we’re all excited.”
As hinted, Madsen, ace of Troy and Tammy Renfro’s Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, Justice Brothers, Serenity Custom Woodworking, No. 2KS sprint car, finished second and 11th in his recent weekend sweep, earning the runner-up result at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, on Friday, July 11, and the latter result at Knoxville Raceway. The Australian and former Outlaw full-timer led the first five circuits at Jackson before Ryan Timms gained control. Madsen attempted to regain the lead immediately, but Timms ran away.
ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Ian Madsen will continue their 2025 season with a return
visit to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 19.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL: Justin Whittall’s winning run deflated; The Grove and Port to continue July schedule
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
VINCENTOWN, N.J. (July 14, 2025) – Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports were well on their way to victory Saturday night at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace,” but unfortunately, Lady Luck stepped in and canceled his plans, ultimately losing a right rear tire with less than a full circuit remaining.
Whittall, ace of his family-owned RBH Group, Turret Engineering, JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Prime Composite Innovations, Milky Way Restaurant, No. 67 sprint car, started eighth on Port Royal’s Jim Kline Tribute lineup, battling his way to the front before taking command over Mark Smith on lap 18. From that point forward, it was smooth sailing for the New Jersey wheelman, building his lead to almost eight seconds by the time the white flag finally waved. As noted, the white flag proved unlucky, losing his right rear by the midpoint of the first two corners.
“That’s a tough one to swallow…we wanted that one really bad, especially with it paying $10,022,” Whittall, who is chasing a first-ever Port Royal track championship, said. “We’ve been driving our butts off to put ourselves in winning positions. They say the first one is always toughest to get, and I thought we were going to get that one. Regardless, we know our potential and we know what we’re capable of. We’ll give it another try this weekend.”
Despite the weekend outcome, Whittall remains in charge of Port Royal’s sprint car championship, holding a 15-point lead over National Sprint Car Hall of Famer, Lance Dewease.
ON DECK: Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports will continue their 2025 campaign with visits to Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 18-19.
2025 JW MOTORSPORTS STATS: Wins: 0 Top-Fives: 8 Top-Tens: 15

Zearfoss strong in starts at Clinton County and Port
Royal; Brad Doty Classic and Kings Royal Week on coming agenda
ByTyler Altmeyer
July 14, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (July 14, 2025) – Back-to-back nights of competition resulted in back-to-back top-fives for Jonestown, Pennsylvania’s Brock Zearfoss, accomplishing said feats during starts at Clinton County Speedway (BZR 3Z) and Port Royal Speedway (Rich Eichelberger’s 8Z) on Friday and Saturday, July 11-12. Zearfoss, a former Port Royal champion who is currently tied for third in the 2025 standings, finished fourth and second, respectively, simultaneously bumping his stat card to 23 top-tens on the season, 14 of which within the top-five.
As noted, Zearfoss, backed by Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness, launched his weekend with a fourth-place finish at Clinton County Speedway, kicking-off his evening’s effort with the fastest qualifying time followed by a heat race victory.
At Port Royal Speedway, Zearfoss finished second, starting the Jim Kline Tribute 25-lapper from the outside of row three. As Lady Luck would have it, a caution on the final circuit (a cut tire for leader Justin Whittall) would give the “Jonestown Jet” an opportunity to pounce. Unfortunately, Troy Wagaman, Jr., would prove too strong, driving on to clinch the $10,022 payday.
“Overall, a great weekend for each of our teams. I thought we were strong enough to win on both nights, but to come out of the weekend with a ton of momentum is just as good, especially with such a big week ahead,” Zearfoss was quick to note. “Proud of everyone involved. I’m pretty privileged to be surrounded by so many great people, Rich Eichelberger especially. He allows me the opportunity to split my time between his and my own team and that says a lot about his commitment to the sport.”
ON DECK:
Brock Zearfoss will continue his 2025 campaign with Attica Raceway Park’s
Brad Doty Classic on July 15 (3Z) and Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal Week on
July 16-19 (3Z). Zearfoss is a former Brad Doty Classic champion at Attica
Raceway Park, conquering the All Star Circuit of Champions to do so.

THAT'S THREE: Brian Brown victorious at Knoxville Raceway from 16th; Kings Royal Week on deck
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (July 14, 2025) - Brian Brown and Brian
Brown Racing certainly made it look easy Saturday night at the Sprint Car
Capital of the World, not only attaining their third victory of the season,
but doing so from 16th on the A-Main grid - a not-so easy task considering
his weekend company.
Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard,
Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer,
Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, took command of the evening’s
main event with seven circuits remaining, cruising on to secure the 69th
(410ci) Knoxville triumph of his career, as well as a $7,000 payday.
The Higginsville, Missouri, ace launched his evening effort
with the fourth-fastest time in his qualifying group, racing on to finish
sixth in his respective heat.
“A great night for this entire Casey’s | FVP team. Unloaded
pretty fast, although things stayed pretty narrow in the heat race so it was
tough to pass. That kinda put us behind the eight ball,” Brown noted. “I had
always hoped starting 16th you could drive through the field and win, but
with the quality of fields at Knoxville right now, you just didn’t know.
Chad came up with a couple good ideas for our A-Main set up. We took the
green and off she went. Probably one of the best cars I had at Knoxville in
a long, long time. I was able to just kinda mow through them and go where
they weren’t. I think we got to fifth by lap five and then the lead on lap
13. Just an awesome night for all of us…Chad, JB, Devin…they did a
phenomenal job. Just awesome to win $7,000, as well as a half beef from the
Marion County Fair Association. This is just what the doctor ordered for our
team…a solid night and some great notes. We learned a lot that I think will
help us going forward.
“Really looking forward to Eldora Speedway for four days,” Brown continued. “Lots of money on the line and a cool atmosphere. Just one of the most iconic weeks of the season and we’re looking forward to being a part of it.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with
Kings Royal Week at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Thursday through

Speedweek Grind: Fighting Through Long Nights and
Challenges in 2025 Edition for Hartlaub
East Berlin, PA – July 10, 2025

As the summer heat built, so did the schedule of races for the 95 team and Kody Hartlaub. Eyeing an extensive Speedweek schedule, with 10 nights of action, Kody and team had a long stretch of late nights and hard work ahead of them. Even with Mother Nature ruining a few nights of action, the grind of Speedweek is something that local teams have to persevere through.
With the first two races being scratched with teams already at the track and ready to compete, BAPS Motor Speedway, on Sunday, would be the first show to be completed. Hartlaub and team started out the night on a good note, with a 2nd place effort in group qualifying. Things took a turn in the heat, after a slide back to 7th, made for a necessary trip to the B Main. Luckily, the driver and team were able to make an A Main appearance and ended up starting off Speedweek with an 18th-place finish.
A quick turnaround followed as the team moved to Lincoln Speedway on Monday. The NinetyFive Motorsports car was quick right out of the gate. With Kody taking home quicktime and making the redraw out of the heat race, the night was looking up. Rolling off on the outside of the front row of the feature, which was his best starting spot of the season, Kody was able to maintain and even challenge early for the lead, before slipping back just a few spots and garnering a 4th place finish. This was his best A Main result of the season.
“We finally just put a whole night together from time trials to the feature.” Hartlaub went on to mention that they “changed some things and went more aggressive than we normally do setup-wise, and I really think that benefited us later.”
Rain gave the team a chance to recoup on Tuesday before making a trip to the Port Royal Speedway on Wednesday. Even with little experience at the track, Hartlaub was able to start off the night strong yet again, by going 5th quick in time trials and transferring into the feature from the heat race. Starting 15th, and in one of the weirder features of the year, Kody was able to finish in 18th. This started the real grind for the team, as this began a streak of four-straight nights of racing.
Hagerstown Speedway was next up and would be the second large half-mile of the week. Again, Hartlaub would have a good qualifying effort and be able to transfer into the feature out of the heat. Kody would end up not finishing the entire feature and exit on lap 9 of the race. An upsetting result, but the team would again grind to get the car ready for another night, this time at Williams Grove.
The Mitch Smith Memorial took center stage on Friday. Kody and team again unloaded with a fast 95 car. Qualifying 5th and running second in the heat meant the team would roll off 10th in the feature. Getting a good jump and grabbing the 9th spot for a few laps would be the best part of the 30-lap feature, as Hartlaub would slide back and ultimately pull off with 7 to go in the feature.
“This is a humbling sport,” mentioned Kody. “Just as soon as I thought we had Williams Grove figured out, they proved to us this week that we don’t.”
Trying to put that night behind them, the team headed to Port Royal Speedway for the Greg Hodnett Classic. Fighting from the time the team left the shop, the track surface proved to be tough to get a hold of. Timing 13th in his group and finishing 8th in his heat, the B Main would be the place where the 95 would round out the night. Missing the transfer and finishing 13th in the B Main was a stark contrast to that of Wednesday night’s effort.
Travel trouble on Saturday and the fact that the team hurt two motors over the course of the week would ultimately lead to the team deciding to skip the final race of the week at Path Valley. Nonetheless, the team completed Speedweek with some newfound knowledge on what the car needs to maybe find some extra speed.
“Still have a little bit of work to do, but I feel like we are making the right gains,” said Hartlaub.
Even with the team missing a few nights with rainouts, it was still a massive undertaking to compete in all the races they did.
“I don’t think some fans actually understand what all has to happen between each race. You still have all the same car maintenance,” mentioned Kody. And a lot of teams have to continually restock all of their fuel, tire, and other expendable part supplies. Hartlaub went on to mention that he is glad that Speedweek is only a once-a-year event, as it is a lot of strain and sleepless nights preparing for the next show.
“I want to thank all my crew and family for everything this past week,” knowing just how much effort everyone put in to make it happen.
The team will get a much-needed week to regroup before racing action starts back up, and it’s soon time for the Outlaws to come to town and pose another challenge to the 95.
“We never back down from a challenge, and I’m excited to see
what will happen.”

Lernerville Speedway
Sarver, PA (June 10, 2025) Friday night racing returns this week as the Bicknell Racing Products Modified Tour headlines Fab4 Racing Revved Up with Marburger Farm Dairy. Though the Glassmere Fuel Service Late Models will have the night off on Friday, the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars and Millerstown Pic-A-Part will still be in action plus, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Late Models will be making a weekly, $1,000-to-win appearance as part of the City Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series.
Friday will mark the second visit from the BRP Tour with their first appearance coming on May 16. On that night, former four time track champion Mat Williamson returned to his old stomping ground and took the $2,500 first prize with Niagara frontier mate Erick Rudolph and defending track champion Garrett Krummert rounding out the podium. Thus far in 2025 rain has wreaked havoc on the BRP Tour schedule, claiming several early dates. Just two tour dates have been completed to date as Rex King Jr. carries the points lead heading into Friday's program. With the top five drivers separated by just nine points and only seven dates possibly remaining if weather allows, Friday night's program could have a huge effect on where things shake out for the season. Thus far at Lernerville, Krummert holds a single point lead over Jeremiah Shingledecker in what looks to be a tight battle all summer long atop the Diehl Automotive Big Block Modified Standings with the top five drivers separated by just 11 points. To date, King Jr. has a weekly win at The Action Track in 2025 as does Rudolph and Will Thomas. Shingledecker also owns a Dirt.TV 3-Wide Sunday Series victory that he achieved on July 6.
The Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars have now completed five features in 2025 with current points leader Carl Bowser, national touring regular Parker Price-Miller and Brandon Spithaler all taking Fab4 Friday night wins while Tim Shaffer has gone back to back in Dirt.TV 3-Wide Sunday Series action. Defending and eight time track champion AJ Flick will be in search of his first win of the 2025 season on Friday night and sits second in the current standings while up and coming youngster Jacob Begenwald resides in third thus far as he continues an impressive second season at Lernerville.
The Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stocks have only completed two race nights on the 2025 schedule thus far as they received an additional punch in the gut from Mother Nature when rains came just as their feature was being staged on June 27. That feature will be made up on Friday night plus the regularly scheduled program as Cody Koteles brings the points lead into the night. Curtis J. Bish and Tyler Schneider both have wins thus far as the Pro Stocks have yet to run a feature since May 16.
The RUSH Late Models will make their second City Chevrolet
weekly appearance of the season as Daryl Charlier claimed the win in their
first appearance back on May 16. Expect a highly competitive field looking
to score the $1,000 top prize.

John Padjen Kids Bike Night next up for Placerville Speedway Saturday
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based
Placerville Speedway is excited to host John Padjen “Kids Bike Night”
presented by the Pizza Factory this Saturday July 12th.
All kids 11 and under receive free admission in the stands on Saturday. As
is tradition, children in attendance are invited to race their bikes on the
track following heat race competition.
Those competing in the races must wear a helmet. MTFX Graphics will also be hosting hot wheels races for the kids from 4-6pm behind the turn four bleachers.
If you’re looking for a delicious pre-race meal, make sure to stop by the Pizza Factory of Placerville, Pleasant Valley, Pollock Pines, Cameron Park, Auburn, Colfax, Rocklin or Ione to support this Saturday’s presenting sponsor. Outstanding and piping hot pizza, lasagna, freshly made salads and much more are offered at the Pizza Factory.
“This is always a tremendous show for the families to come out and enjoy a night of racing at,” commented track Promoter Scott Russell. “Kids Bike Night has been one of the long-standing events here and we’re happy to allow those 11 and under into the races for free on Saturday. When it comes to the future of our sport the younger generation is extremely important, so we hope everyone can bring their kids and maybe even some of their friends this weekend.”
This Saturday is also our way to remember former track Promoter John Padjen, who passed away in December of 2021. It was Padjen’s idea that brought about Kids Bike Night, which continues to be a mainstay at Placerville Speedway.
“John always had Kids Bike Night at West Capital Raceway, so he decided to bring that over to Placerville and Chico when he started running both venues,” said past Placerville Speedway Promoter Alan Padjen. “The bike nights have always been a hit with the families. It’s great that Placerville Speedway continues that tradition and it’s a perfect event to remember my dad at.”
In the early 1980’s, John Padjen came aboard Placerville Speedway to help rescue the community icon that was beginning to struggle in the way of management efforts. Already a successful motorsports promoter in Sacramento, Dixon and Chico, Padjen moved in and helped mold the foothill race facility into the successful, competitive track it is today. Padjen established a consistent Saturday night program to improve safety and visibility for both drivers and fans.
Tackling the high banked quarter mile this Saturday will be the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association.
Thanks to the El Dorado County Fair Association parking is free during the month of July, including this Saturday for John Padjen Kids Bike Night presented by Pizza Factory.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during John Padjen Kids Bike Night will be General Admission on Saturday July 12th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
Adult tickets cost $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 11 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr071225
The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30pm with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, ADCO Driveline qualifying and racing will follow.

SKAGIT SPEEDWAY PRESS RELEASE:First-ever Hall of Fame
Night at Skagit Speedway Saturday, July 12
Alger, WA – Join Skagit Speedway this Saturday, July 12, for Doyle Guffie's Rallye Auto Sales Hall of Fame Night at Skagit Speedway. The KarMART 410 Sprint Cars are back and ready to roar around Skagit Speedway while being joined by the Sportsman Sprint Cars and the CGE Garage Midgets.
This will be a very special Saturday night as we officially induct the Lemley Brothers into the Skagit Speedway Hall of Fame. Dave, Bill and Paul Lemley are the three newest members of the Skagit Speedway Hall of Fame.
The 410 Sprint Cars are back after having last Saturday, July 5, off. Saturday will also be the only opportunity to see the 410s in July. Skagit Speedway is closed July 19 for the Clay Cup Nationals at Deming Speedway. Then, July 25-26 is the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals Presented By Bob’s Burgers & Brew at Skagit Speedway. The last time the 900+ horsepower beast lit up Skagit Speedway, Jason Solwold got the victory after getting around Justin Youngquist in lap traffic just past the halfway portion of the race. The win was also his first 410 win at Skagit Speedway since July 22, 2023. Excluding Dirt Cup, Solwold has yet to finish outside the top five in a weekly show at Skagit Speedway and during Dirt Cup, he made the A-Main all three nights, finishing 12th, 4th, and 11th, respectively. Trey Starks leads the points battle with 863 points while Solwold is second, 33 points behind. Robbie Price is third, 137 points behind Starks.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars are back from after their last race on June 28. Steve Hendrickson achieved his second win of the year, which ties him with Jesson Jacobson for the most this season. Hendrickson had a clean sweep of the night after setting quicktime in qualifying, winning his heat race, and leading all 25 laps of the main event. While the Sportsman didn't race at Skagit Speedway this past Saturday, July 5, there was a three day Sportsman Sprint Car race at Cottage Grove Speedway in Oregon, featuring many of Skagit Speedway's regulars. Jesson Jacobson won on the final night however he was not the champion of the event. Jacobson is back out front in the points battle for the Sportsmans with 652, Jayden Whitney is in second, 21 points behind, and Hendrickson is third, 47 points behind Jacobson.
The CGE Garage Midgets return after last racing during Dirt Cup weekend. Dirt Cup was a big week for Ryan Orchard, driver of the 32R from Sidney, BC. He picked up his first career win in the division during the Thursday night portion of the program and then backed it up with a win on the final night. Orchard was hounded by Alex Peck for a majority of the race but was able to hold him off en route to leading all 25 laps and the win. Orchard now ties Tristin Thomas for the most wins in the division with two. Shane Smith leads the points battle with 493 points; however, his lead is narrow, as Orchard is only two points behind in second place. Nick Evans is third, 44 points off the lead. Smith has yet to finish outside the top five this season through five races. Orchard has yet to finish outside the top 10 in five races, including four top fives, in that span.

Albright 2nd at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night after winning at the track just two weeks prior, Dakota Albright had another strong night as he picked up a second-place finish.
“With how many cars the track had on Saturday night, the track got super slick so I had to make some adjustments for the feature,” Albright said. “We had a really good start to the race, and I thought he had a shot at battling for the win on a late restart, but I just couldn’t execute.”
Checking into Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Dakota Albright timed the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Johnson and Matos CPA/Greenwood Machine and Fab backed No. 35Jr in fourth fastest in time trials.
Having issues at the start of his heat, Albright was able to rebound as he raced his way back to third, which put him in the third row for the feature event.
With the track continuing to slick off with winged sprint cars, non winged sprint cars, and midgets also on the card Saturday night, Albright made some wholesale changes to his car prior to rolling out for the feature event.
When the race went green, the Waterford, CA driver quickly moved into third as he cruised around trying to figure out the slick surface. Working his way into second on the seventh lap, Albright turned his attention to race leader, Hunter Kinney. Chasing after Kinney and cutting into his lead, a late restart gave Albright a final shot.
Unable to make a pass happen when the race resumed, Albright capped the feature off with a runner up finish.
“It was a fun race, and it is nice to have some good speed again after a bit of a struggle in some of our earlier races this year,” Albright said. “Thanks to everyone that supports the team and makes it possible.”
Dakota Albright would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Johnson and Matos CPA’s, Greenwood Machine and Fabrication, 530 Wraps, Oval Chassis Research, Parker Performance and Fabrication, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Nurcher Milk, Angels Heavy Haul, West Steel and Plastics, Calhot Powder Coating, Sala Racing, Petersen Media, and Simpson Race Products for their support in 2025.

Tanner Carrick Wins Midget Leg of Placerville Triple Crown
PETERSEN MEDIA: A busy Saturday night for Tanner Carrick saw the Lincoln, CA driver take part in all three legs of the Triple Crown at Placerville Speedway where he picked up the win in the Midget, and ran fifth in both the winged and non winged sprint car events.
“It was a pretty good night for us,” Tanner Carrick said. “I want to thank the Sarale family for the opportunity to run their Midget again, and I want to thank my guys for working so hard on both sprint cars.”
Lining up on the front row of the Midget feature alongside his Sarale Motorsports teammate, Carden Sarale, Carrick settled into second as he went to work on the slick bullring. Chasing after Sarale, Carrick kept him in shouting distance as he stalked his every move.
Holding strong in second, Carrick made his race winning move on the 20th lap, as he surged around Sarale to take over the top spot. Out in front, Carrick never looked back and picked up the first leg of the busy night, as he quickly returned to the track to line up on the front row of the Non-Wing feature.
Leading the USCS Non Wing field to green, Carrick looked like a he’d contend for the inaugural Triple Crown and bonus as he jumped out to the early lead again and went to work out front over Ryan Bernal and Shane Golobic on a very narrow track surface.
As the field got into traffic on the around the 12th lap, they began to move around and jockey for track position. On the 13th lap, Carrick had some help as he got moved off the racing surface and slipped back to ninth.
With a very good car underneath him, Carrick was able to rebound and get back to fourth, but his Triple Crown bid was dashed.
In his third and final feature of the night, Carrick rolled off from the fourth starting position in the 25-lap winged sprint car finale. With the track extremely worn out by the time the winged cars hit it for the race of the night, Carrick settled into fifth as the action got underway.
With passing tough as the track ultimately took areas of rubber, Carrick closed a very impressive night out with his second fifth place finish.
“I do think we had a good enough car to win the non winged race as well, but we had a little excursion that set us back,” Carrick said. “It wasn’t to bad of a night, and again a big thank you to all that made it possible.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 33, Wins: 2, Top 5’s: 14, Top 10’s: 21
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports team will be right back in action this Saturday night at Placerville Speedway where he will run both a winged and non-winged sprint cars as well as a USAC Western States Midget.

New Car and Continued Speed During Speedweek for Tyler
Ross
Lincoln University, PA – July 8, 2025
by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
While rolling a fresh car out of the trailer at the beginning of the year is a normality for most, some like Tyler Ross and the 5 team, choose to roll out a fresh piece for Speedweek.
After having a strong couple of weeks leading up to PA Speedweek, confidence was high as Tyler’s last three starts resulted in top 10 finishes. The challenge of duplicating the current performance with a new car was something that the Lincoln University native showed the capability to do over the course of Speedweek, even with some up-and-down results.
To start out the team’s campaign, they ventured to the BAPS Motor Speedway. Having seen rain ruin the first two nights of the 10-day series, the driver and team were eager to get on track, and for good reason.
“We took a brand new car and motor package to BAPS,” and speed showed immediately. After being quickest in warmups and 5th quickest in group time trials, Ross was able to qualify for the feature through his 2nd-place heat finish. Tyler would roll off 7th and finish just outside the top 10 in 11th, after running inside the top 10 for the first half of the race.
“We missed the setup a little bit in the feature, but we knew where we missed it.” Even with a small setback in the feature, Ross didn’t seem too disappointed, stating that it was “understandable with having an all-new piece.”
The next night, the team headed to the Lincoln Speedway with the new car. However, Ross indicated that it might not have been the best move.
“We as a team made a mistake by not taking the car we just ran second with (6/21 at Lincoln).” The new car was able to time in 11th and make a run into the transfer spot in the heat. Unfortunately, luck ran out halfway through the heat, when Ross and Jordan Thomas made contact down the front stretch, sending both cars spinning and nearly upside down. Luckily, minus a few fixable parts and the wing, the car was okay.
“Having the wreck racing for a qualifying spot in the heat is what cost us our night.” Rolling off deep in the B Main, Ross was able to show speed, making moves and advancing up to 10th, but still falling short of making the show.
A few nights rest and regrouping, followed by the team returning to the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, after Grandview rained out on Tuesday.
“We went to see how the new car and motor ran again,” stated Tyler. With a similar qualifying effort to that of their last race, Ross would make a 6th to 6th run in the heat and showed dominating speed in the B Main, winning that event and transferring to the main event. Ross decided to start and run a few laps to feel out the car in feature action, but would pull in after seven laps, “just to save equipment.”
The 5 team would then attend the finale of PA Speedweek at the Path Valley Speedway. A stark outlier on the schedule, being one of the smallest tracks in the region. Even with it having been over 3 years since 410 sprint cars had raced at the Spring Run, PA track, it looked as though Ross never missed a beat.
“We had good speed all night.” Tyler was able to time in 2nd quick in group B and made the redraw with a 4th place heat finish. Drawing the 3rd position, Ross would battle in the fast-paced feature and ultimately come home 8th. Garnering his eleventh top 10 finish of the year, but the driver felt it could have been better.
“I just felt like I cost us a better finish as a driver, not putting myself in the right positions on the track and losing spots quickly in the race.” With such a fast pace and lap cars coming into play almost immediately, it certainly proved to be a tricky track to know where to be and when.
Wrapping up what felt like a short Speedweek with all the rain, Ross went on to mention that he and the team “have something to work with, even though the results might not be what we wanted, but we learned what we need to do better.” Having to battle with making the new car behave how he wanted and also manage the new bugs with it, Ross noted how the team’s Speedweek schedule worked in their favor.
“We do Lincoln through Grandview, then take a few days off and regroup both with equipment and ourselves. Most, if not all of us on the team, still work during the week, so we don’t want to wear our guys out.”
Having a little extra time to work on the car and recharge helped the team to maintain speed throughout the week. And those recharges help as the team moves into the rest of the month of July, with some bigger shows coming up throughout the next few weeks and months.
As of now, plans for the next few nights are to be determined, but the team can show up to whatever race may come, with confidence in their equipment and ability to make speed on a wide variety of tracks as they did during Speedweek.

Justyn Cox and Bates Hamilton Racing persevere for 9th place finish at Placerville Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing showed speed this past Saturday at Placerville Speedway, battling around the top five, before bringing home a wounded machine over the closing laps for a ninth-place result.
Cox and BHR began the Independence Day weekend double header on Friday by qualifying seventh in Group B time trials aboard the Berco Redwood/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales No. 42x mount.
A fourth-place effort during the heat placed him in a row seven starting spot for the feature. The main event got off to a hairy start, as several cars were going for the same piece of real estate. It resulted in Cox ending up on his side to bring out a red flag.
After visiting the work area, he would eventually climb forward as high as 13th, until crossing the stripe in position number 15 at the finish.
“Friday just didn’t go right, as we missed the invert by one, not a great heat race and then flipped on opening lap due to circumstances and being mid pack,” Cox said.
Coming back on Saturday, the 31-year-old once again qualified seventh in his group during ADCO Driveline time trials. During his heat race he gave it a great run to try and make the redraw by winning his heat race.
Battling hard with Dylan Bloomfield for the lead, he would just miss out on it by finishing second at the checkered flag.
Lining up on the outside of row five Cox displayed speed early on it the 25-lap contest. The Clarksburg racer carved his way into seventh after a few laps, before taking over sixth on lap nine.
A late collision wounded the car however, and he was forced into conservation mode. When all was said and done, Cox hung on to secure a ninth-place result.
“All around it was a good night on Saturday,” Cox commented. “The driver needed to run a better three and four in qualifying because I think we would have had a good shot at fast time. We had a little misfortune there with a few laps to go that killed a possible top five run, but the bright side is I felt super comfortable and sporty.”
Next up for Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing is John Padjen Kids Bike Night back at Placerville Speedway this Saturday July 12th. The event is always one of the more special at Placerville and Cox gave his thoughts on it.
“I really have to thank the team for continuing to work with me and trying to get better. We are a lot closer than we’ve been and that’s always a positive going into the next weekend. Bike Night is a fun time for the family and always a cool night to be a part of.”

First PA Speedweek Full of Learning Experiences for
Lattomus
By Derick Kriner
Lewes, DE – July 7, 2025
The end of June means the start of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek. For the young Delaware native, Preston Lattomus, this meant an opportunity to compete in one of the toughest weeks in the region. Having stepped up from the 358 ranks at the end of last season, learning has been the name of the game in 2025. While a few shows would end up falling to Mother Nature, the driver of the 91 did gain some valuable experience and made improvements at tracks, even if the results didn’t show it.
“Our goal for Speedweek was to improve every time we hit the track, and I feel we did that.”
With rain taking out the first two shows of the series, BAPS Motor Speedway took center stage as the Speedweek opener. Preston, after qualifying 19th in his flight, went 10th to 9th in his heat. After a B Main effort of 15th, the first night of the week was in the books. Not the strongest effort, but it got the week started, which was the biggest part of being able to learn.
Against the odds, the following night at Lincoln Speedway did happen. Rain was all around the speedway, and it did end up claiming the last five laps of the feature. For Preston, the night started off with a 16th-place qualifying effort. Starting 8th in his heat, he was able to make his way up to 7th, missing out on the transfer by two spots. The 9th position would be the start and finish for the 91 car, in the B Main, wrapping up night two of competition.
Some valuable experience came during the Wednesday night show at Port Royal Speedway. Having limited winged starts at The Speed Palace, Lattomus was able to run double-duty, as the URC 360’s joined the card that evening. Sometimes, getting to slow things down and just being on the track more can help a driver find little areas to improve upon.
“I can definitely say running both classes helped because of being able to keep up with the track very well,” stated Preston. Motor problems with the 360 made a 12th-place finish a little bit of a disappointing night on that end, as hopes were high for the URC portion of the program. Preston would find a little more speed in the 410, timing in 14th and finishing 8th in his heat, before an 11th-place B Main finish.
Another big half mile appeared on the schedule the following night as the team headed to Hagerstown Speedway. Speed was more evident for the team, as Lattomus was able to put in a solid qualifying effort and make the show out of the B Main. In the feature, Preston was able to make up a few spots, coming home in 19th, but most importantly, making the show and finishing the feature, which helped gain some more valuable experience.
The Mitch Smith Memorial brought the team back to more familiar territory, and the Williams Grove Speedway. With another top 15 qualifying run, Preston would roll off 7th in his heat and finish 9th, sending him to the B Main. The Delaware native showed some good speed and the ability to move around and stay out of some wrecks, going 13th to 6th, and just barely missing out on the transfer position.
Saturday night’s show at Port Royal Speedway would be the final night the 91 team would compete on the Speedweek trail. And it was a great way to finish out the long week. Lattomus had his best qualifying effort of the week, timing in 6th in his group.
“The guys told me where to run and how to run it right before I went out, and the qualifying effort put us upfront in a heat race.” With a first row starting spot in the heat, a lot of good cars were around the 91 car, but Preston was able to show some great speed and maintain his second starting spot and transfer into the 30-lap feature event. Rolling off 9th in the feature was one of Preston’s best starting positions of the season. Once the green flag dropped, the young racer was able to maintain and hang around inside the top 12.
“As we got going in the feature, I could feel I had a great car capable of moving forward.” However, troubles came about after only 5 laps. “And when things just started to click, we had a power steering problem that ended our night.” A disappointing end to what appeared to be a promising night.
However, the overall goal for the team and driver was to improve, and that happened. Speedweek is also one of the toughest weeks in dirt track racing.
“Pennsylvania Speedweek is different from anything I’ve ever done because it’s longer and at a higher level,” stated Lattomus. The format also can present challenges for some, with teams having to time trial every night, which isn’t the norm at most weekly shows.
“The challenges that come along with time trial shows for me are really this time of year,” said Preston. “Qualifying becomes very technical with how the track changes. I prefer time trial shows over redraw or handicap because it’s what they do every race at the highest level.” Having this be a part of the week helped to build a bigger mental notebook for the young 18-year-old racer.
Even with results not all showing the speed the team is capable of, Lattoums was still happy with how it went.
“This 91 team brings a great piece to the track every night. I know once I get on the same page as the car, I will really start getting into a flow and the good runs will come in more often.”
The team looks to take a week off and get ready for Williams Grove on the 18th and hopefully build up some more speed and confidence, as the World of Outlaws soon come to town, to round out the month.

Hagar Returns to USCS Series Victory Lane at Magnolia Motor Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - LOXLEY, Ala. (July 7, 2025) - Derek Hagar highlighted a three-race weekend with the USCS Series by capturing his fourth feature victory of the season.
Hagar and car owner A.G. Rains kicked off the action last Thursday at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss., by advancing from sixth to third place in a heat race.
"We had a good heat race and was able to get ourselves into the dash as the high-point driver," Hagar said. "With my not-so-great redrawing I drew the six, but got a really good start in the dash. I think we got to third by the flagstand and then up to second.
"We started outside pole for the feature. The polesitter got the jump on me and led in turns one and two. In turns three and four, he went to the outside. I went through the middle and drove around him. We led the distance of the race. I had a really good car."
The strong performance places Hagar in a tie atop the USCS Series wins list with four trips to Victory Lane this season despite competing in less than half of the races. It was also his third straight victory with the Series.
A trip to Alabama the ensuing night led to another podium performance. Hagar finished second in a heat race before he maneuvered from seventh to third place during the A Main at Deep South Speedway.
"We decided to go to Alabama because we haven't raced much this season," he said. "It's a sandy track without a lot of passing. I was pleased with the progress we made. There wasn't a whole lot of passing. We were just as fast as the guys in front of us. You just hold it onto the floor and try to keep the tires underneath you."
The weekend wrapped up on Saturday at the dirt oval.
"It rained right before hot laps," he said. "I don't know how they got it in. The sand just soaked it up enough to where we could race on it. It was one lane. In the feature, I was battling for sixth or seventh and smoked it in there and spun out. That was about halfway through. I was able to get back to eighth."
Hagar's rally for an eighth-place finish was his 12 th top 10 of the season.

July 3 - Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss. - Heat race: 3 (6); Dash: 2 (6); Feature: 1 (2).

Dover Scores First Win of Season to Extend Winning Streak to 21 Years
Inside Line Promotions - ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa (July 7, 2025) - Jack Dover earned his first feature victory of the season and the second career 410ci winged sprint car win of his career last Friday at Rapid Speedway.
The triumph extended Dover's winning streak to 21 consecutive years with at least one trip to Victory Lane.
"It feels good to keep the winning streak alive," he said. "The main thing is the confidence is there. Three weeks ago, we should have won at Huset's. Last week in Aberdeen, we were second and right on the leader. I just feel like the confidence and the momentum is there."
The night began with Dover maneuvering from fifth to second place during a heat race. That earned enough points to advance into the feature redraw, in which Dover drew the No. 6 to line up on the outside of the third row in the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars A Main.
"We were average in the heat race," he said. "I wasn't very happy when I came in with how the car was feeling. We got lucky with a couple of cars falling out so that moved us up. We were the high-points driver and drew the No. 6. I went around on the warm-up lap before the feature and knew we had a really good car. That helps your confidence when you hit the gas on the green flag that you know your car is going to work.
"On the start we got into fifth place right away and into fourth in the first corner. About three laps in, we got to third. About 10 laps in, I snuck around the bottom into second place. I tracked don't the leader, who was three seconds ahead of us. I was running the top in turns one and two and diamonding turns three and four. I tracked him down in about five laps. I think I took the lead on Lap 17 and led the rest of the way. I slowed my pace up way too much the last four or five laps. Jake Bubak showed his nose coming to the white flag. Once I saw that I gave it all I had the last lap and we put nine tenths of a second on it so that shows how good of a car we had."
The win also moved Dover into the lead in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings.
Dover plans on racing this weekend during the Hefty Seed Merle Johnson Memorial on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., with the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars. He will also compete on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and on Sunday at Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D., where he ranks third in the championship standings.
"Jackson has been pretty good to me and we've had success at Huset's," he said. "We haven't had the best results at Knoxville, but last year when we went to the Knoxville Nationals with this same car we took a lot of good notes so we'll start from there."
QUICK RESULTS -
July 4 - Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa - Heat race: 2 (5); Feature: 1 (6).

Kaleb Johnson Preparing for Four Straight Nights of Big Races
Inside Line Promotions - SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (July 7, 2025) - A four-race weekend is on tap for Kaleb Johnson.
The Team DGRD driver will join the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Thursday at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., during the Deer Creek Clash. It marks his debut at the dirt oval.
"I've been there to watch, but never raced there," he said. "I'm excited for Thursday. It looks like it'll be a blast. It's nice and wide and gets super slick so I'm looking forward to that."
A trip to Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., on Friday showcases the Hefty Seed Merle Johnson Memorial with the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Car Series 410 Sprint Cars. The event is named after Johnson's grandfather and is the kickoff to the three-race Border Battle with additional events on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and Sunday at Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D.
"Personally, it carries a lot of meaning because my grandpa was such a huge supporter of my racing career," he said. "To be able to honor him for the third year in a row is cool. I've been close to winning it before so that gives me some confidence.
"At Knoxville, if we could just get qualified good we'd set ourselves up for the rest of the night. We've had moments where we have speed and have proven we can pass cars. We are focused on adding that to the beginning of the night to set ourselves up better.
"As for Huset's, to be honest, I have a sour taste from our last two nights we raced there during the High Bank Nationals. I'm looking forward to going back there and having some speed and running up front where we belong."
Johnson enters the weekend ranked ninth in the Knoxville Raceway championship standings and first in the Huset's Speedway championship standings.

Starks Salvages Top 10 After Late-Race Incident at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - ALGER, Wash. (July 7, 2025) - Trey Starks was seconds away from another win at Skagit Speedway when disaster struck last Saturday.
Starks set himself up well during the 360ci winged sprint car portion of the racing program.
"We went out midway through qualifying and laid down a pretty good lap to be second quick," he said. "We started fourth in the heat race and was able to win that. I got a good jump into second. The track was pretty slick and wide; how I like it. We were able to stalk the leader and make a move. That's really important because going from fourth to winning the heat race will lock you into the best starting spot available, so that gave us the pole for the feature.
"We took off and felt pretty good. There were a handful of restarts. We got challenged on one or two, but we never lost the lead. From about the halfway point on it went green so we got into traffic. The pace was slowed down pretty good because the track was slow. I tried to be careful in traffic and not get too greedy. There were a couple of cars at the back that had good pace. Toward the end we got to another group of lapped cars. I got a good run on a couple of them. We took the white flag and going down the backstretch I got a good run off the bottom. I was pretty well beside one down the backstretch and figured they had seen me or at least knew somebody was down there. I wasn't expecting that car to close the lane off going into turn three. He came down and we made contact and I spun out. When I realized what was happening I got on the brakes really hard and our wheels bumped. That put us to the tail for a green-white-checkered finish. I restarted 13 th or 14 th and got back to 10th.
"It was frustrating. I try to take accountability in every circumstance and there are some things I could have done different. I really didn't think I was pushing the envelope at the time, but knowing what I know now I probably could have rolled into that corner different. I'll add it to my mental notebook, noting the cars you are around and what they might do."
The 10th-place result was Starks' 15 th top 10 this season. He now has a 64-point lead in the championship standings.
Starks will return to the track this Saturday for a 410ci winged sprint car show. He leads the championship standings in that division by 33 points.

Second Place Run Highlights Busy Weekend for Tony Gomes
PETERSEN MEDIA- Though he wasn’t able to make it back to victory lane at Placerville Speedway over the weekend, Tony Gomes had a very solid weekend that put him right back in the thick of the Championship hunt.
“We weren’t able to get a win over the weekend but in the big picture it was a really good weekend with us having to really solid nights,” Tony Gomes said.
Friday night, the C&M Motorsports team came out on fire as Gomes kicked the night off by earning quick time honors aboard the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c.
When his heat race came to life, Gomes continued to flex his muscles. Powering his way into the lead, Gomes went on to pick up the win which put him on the pole for the feature event.
Looking to score his second consecutive win at the track, Gomes hammered the throttle when the feature event went green. Leading the first half of the race, a mid race restart saw Gomes feel pressure form Shane Gomes. Able to answer the call and race back into the lead, Gomes caught a rut and it shot him over the edge of the track and he slipped back to fifth.
Settling back in, Gomes showcased a very strong car as he worked his way back into second where he ultimately finished.
Back in action on Saturday night, the Placerville Speedway triple crown event took its toll on the surface, and when time trials rolled around for the sprint cars, Gomes did what he could on the slick as he timed in seventh fastest in his group.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Modesto, CA driver worked his way to a second place finish and just narrowly missed out on the redraw. Lining up ninth in the feature event, a narrow surface made passing tricky in the ‘A’.
Working his way forward the best he could, Gomes closed the weekend out with a sixth place finish.
“We came into the weekend fourth in points, and we left the weekend second and just 11 points out of the lead,” Gomes said. “We don’t points race necessarily, but its good to be back in the hunt as we get into the heat of Summer. Thanks to Cody and Mandi for all of their hard work and support of the team, as well as Bobby, John, and Cody Cook for all of their help in the pits.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Tony Gomes are right back to it this week at Placerville on Saturday night.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-17, Wins-3, Top 5’s-8, Top 10’s-10

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (July 7, 2025) – Danny Dietrich’s goal of achieving back-to-back Speedweek championships, one in Ohio against the All Star Circuit of Champions and one in Pennsylvania during Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, was one spot shy of becoming a reality, closing out Pennsylvania’s 2025 edition 37 points behind Dillsburg’s Anthony Macri.
Dietrich, a two-time PA Sprint Speedweek champion with his most recent occurring in 2021, capped the ten-race turned seven-race slate (due to Mother Nature) with seven top-tens, five top-fives and two victories, the first at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday, June 29, and the second at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, July 4. The Grove’s victory, dubbed the Mitch Smith Memorial, earned Dietrich a $20,000 payday – the fourth Williams Grove Speedway Speedweek triumph of Dietrich’s storied career.
Impressive, nonetheless, of Dietrich’s seven PA Sprint Speedweek performances, “Double-D” finished no worse than eighth, and even that was an impressive feat, climbing ahead from 13th at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” on July 2.
“I owe it all to the team and that’s the bottom line,” Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, No. 48 sprint car, said. “The guys worked their freakin’ tails off these last few weeks. Gary [Kauffman] allows us the opportunity to go out and race as much as we do and we’re certainly really appreciative of that. We wanted that Speedweek championship, but fell just short. We’re going to put that behind us in a hurry. We have a lot of racing coming up starting with Knoxville on Saturday, as long as the weather cooperates. We want to get a feel for that place before heading back out to the Nationals so why not head out now and turn some laps.”
ON DECK:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2025 campaign
with a busy slate across the Midwest, set to visit Knoxville Raceway in
Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 12 (weather pending), followed by a High
Limit Racing start at Fremont Speedway on Monday, July 14, and Eldora

Andy Forsberg Picks Up Win and Second Place Finish During 4th of July Weekend
PETERSEN MEDIA: Racing on three separate occasions over the 4th of July weekend, Andy Forsberg picked up a win on Thursday night in Marysville, CA and capped the weekend off with a second place finish on Saturday night in Placerville, CA.
“It was a good weekend for us with a tough night sandwiched in between two good nights,” Andy Forsberg said. “We continue to have a really good car and put ourselves in good position to contend for wins on most nights.”
Opening Independence Day weekend up on Thursday night in Marysville, CA, Andy Forsberg picked up the win for the third consecutive year at the track nested in Northern CA.
After earning fast time honors and transferring into the feature event redraw based on his fourth place heat finish, Forsberg ended up with the one and lined up on the pole for the 25-lap feature event.
When the race came to life, Forsberg got the jump only to see the red flag come out as the field raced into turns one and two. The net restart saw Forsberg again get the jump as he instantly began setting a strong pace and reeling in the back of the field.
Getting into traffic, Forsberg continued to lead the way as second running Sean Becker closed in on him. With Becker getting close in the final laps, the duo made contact battling for the same real-estate and it resulted in Becker spinning ot a stop.
One final restart saw Forsberg race away from the pack, and race to his seventh feature event win of the season.
Travelling to Placerville Speedway on Friday night for the 4th of July, Forsberg continued to timed in well as he was fourth fastest in his qualifying flight before finishing second in his heat race.
Missing out on the redraw, Forsberg took the green flag from the ninth starting position and wasted no time working his was forward. Getting into fifth on the fourth lap, Forsberg was up into third on the seventh lap as he chased after Tony Gomes and Shane Hopkins.
White running third, contact on third lap collapsed Forsberg’s front end and sent him spinning. In the work area, the team went to work on the battered No. 92, and though they were not initially able to restart, they continued to make repairs and eventually re joined the field as Forsberg ended the night 17th officially.
Saturday night brough on one final night of action for the busy holiday weekend as Forsberg and company were back at Placerville Speedway.
Timing in sixth fastest in his qualifying flight on an extremely slick Placerville Speedway surface, Forsberg lined up on the front row of his heat race and was able to get the jump.
Tip-toeing around the bullring, Forsberg was able to lead from flag to flag and earn an important spot in the redraw where the three pill lined him up in the second row of the 25-lapper.
As the green flag dropped, Forsberg jumped right into second as he chased after Dylan Bloomfield who set the early pace on a very slick surface. Pacing Bloomfield for the duration of the race, Forsberg was unable to close in and contest for the win as he closed the weekend out with a second place run.
“Placerville Speedway had a tall order on Saturday night with the show they had an the track took a beating,” Andy Forsberg said. “Luckily we put ourselves in position to be up front and ended up with a good finish.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

SWANSON TAKES TOP SPOT IN NATIONAL PAVEMENT SPRINT CAR RANKINGS
July 2, 2025 - Anderson, Indiana - The third edition of the 2025 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings was released Wednesday evening and Kody Swanson has assumed the top spot. Swanson was the 2024 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings #1 ranked driver.
When the last edition of the rankings was announced on May 12, fifteen-year-old Colton Bettis had a narrow 1/2-point lead over Swanson for the top spot. Beginning June 12, Swanson has been on a tear. In that span he has captured 2 USAC Silver Crown wins, a 500 Sprint Car Tour victory, and a second-place finish with Must See Racing.
Swanson now has a 14-point lead over Bobby Santos III who has moved into second place on the heels of three wins that that started on May 31 through June 21. During that stretch he captured 2 Must See Racing victories and a lone 500 Sprint Car Tour triumph.
Bettis has dropped to third place due to a stretch of bad luck and a handful of DNF's.
Seven out of the top fifteen drivers in the most recent rankings will be competing in the Sprint Car Spectacular this weekend July 4-5 at Colorado National Speedway in Dacono, Colorado. Teams will be competing in two nights of racing that will pay $10,000 to win each night. These events could go a long way towards shaking up the next rankings in late July.

Arenz grabs mixed bag at IRA Bloomington, Butler jaunt
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 2, 2025 – It was a tale of two nights for Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team during a doubleheader weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Bloomington Speedway in Indiana on Friday, June 27 and Butler Motor Speedway in Michigan on Saturday, June 28.
Arenz’s first visit to the quarter-mile high-banked Bloomington Speedway red clay oval in Bloomington, Ind. was one to forget. After struggling to muster the 28th fastest lap in the 29-car field, the 18th-year racer moved from 10th to seventh in the first eight-lap heat race to finish one spot out of an A-main transfer spot.
He then placed third in the IRA B main to gain the 24th starting position in the 30-lap A main. However, Arenz pulled off early on, resulting in a 24th-place showing.
“I thought Bloomington was a neat place,” Arenz said. “I would be curious to see how things would have gone if the track didn’t get as much rain and the surface wasn’t crap. With having to start at the tail of the feature and already slicing two new tires, we decided to be smart, save our equipment and keep a few laps off our motor. Considering those factors, I chose to pull off in the early laps of the feature.”
One night later, at Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Mich., proved to be an improvement as Arenz opened the night by securing fast qualifier honors in the 37-car field with a lap of 13.382 seconds around the three-eighths-mile high-banked dirt oval.
After placing second in the first heat race and third in IRA dash 1, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver started the 30-lap main event from the fifth starting position.
He wavered between fourth and seventh place throughout the event before coming home with a strong fifth-place showing to mark his fifth top-five finish of the 2025 campaign.
“I liked racing at Butler,” Arenz said. “It was sort of a combination of a few tracks we run frequently. I enjoy competing at new tracks to test my skills.”
With the IRA off until the end of July, Arenz is unsure if he will enter any races in the coming weeks.
The IRA season will resume with a tripleheader weekend starting Friday, July 26 at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., moving on to Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, July 27 and ending up at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, July 28.
“As for the plans in the next few weeks, it’s up in the air as of now,” Arenz said. “If I can, I would like to race a time or two to keep my skills sharp.”

Tripleheader Ohio Weekend Ahead for Great Lakes Super Sprints
Merrill, MI - Celebrating 249 years of Independence, the Ohio CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP are headed into the Holiday weekend with three races and three tracks on the schedule. Waynesfield Raceway Park kicks off the weekend on Thursday, Limaland Motorsports Park holds the middle of the weekend on Friday, with the quarter-mile at Millstream Raceway wrapping up the tripleheader.
In the first visit to Waynesfield Raceway Park in May, Devon Dobie dominated from the front of the field. Collecting his first win of the 2025 season, nearly 10 years to the day since his first career win, Dobie executed precision around “The Field of Speed” alongside timely cautions to get the win over Bryan Sebetto, Kasey Jedrzejek, Max Stambaugh, and Jared Horstman.
Limaland Motorsports Park has hosted four GLSS races in 2025, three of which have seen Stambaugh go to Victory Lane. Jedrzejek was the lone driver who interrupted the Stambaugh winning streak back on May 23rd.
As for Millstream Speedway, a trip to the quarter-mile awaits on Saturday after the first trip to the half-mile was cancelled in May. The Great Lakes Super Sprints were the first ever sanction to race on the quarter-mile when track conditions on the half-mile resulted in the event being moved to the quarter-mile. Zane DeVault, who won both visits to Millstream last season, held off Greg Wilson, Kasey Jedrzejek, Chase Dunham, and Narin Naida for the first ever Millstream quarter-mile win.
The 2025 Championship Points battle remains tight for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Tour. Max Stambaugh and Jared Horstman both collected their fifth win of the season with wins at Tri-City and Crystal respectively. Horstman holds an 18 point advantage over Stambaugh heading into the weekend with Dustin Daggett third 181 points back.
In the Ohio CAT Division, Stambaugh has a 106-point advantage on Jared Horstman, but the top six in points remain one night’s full-points away from the lead. With 225 points available per night, Devon Dobie sits third 114 back, Phil Gressman fourth 168 behind, defending Ohio CAT Champion, Dustin Daggett sits 169 points behind Stambaugh, and Chase Dunham is 171 points back.
Gates open at 4:00 PM on Thursday at Waynesfield, 5:00 PM Friday at Limaland, and 4:00 PM Saturday at Millstream. Fans who can’t make the trip can watch all the action LIVE at www.GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

Placerville, CA
…Russell Motorsports Inc. has made the announcement that due to yesterday’s unfortunate fireworks facility explosion in Esparto, this Friday’s fireworks display following the races has been canceled.
The race program, however, will still be contested with the Thompson’s Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models taking to the track.
“The company that was supplying and housing our fireworks that were to be used on Friday night, was part of yesterday’s unfortunate explosion and fire in Esparto,” commented Placerville Speedway Promoter Scott Russell.
This devastating incident resulted not only in the complete loss of our fireworks supplier’s inventory, but more importantly, the loss of lives of individuals who have long been part of bringing celebration and joy to communities across California, including ours. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families, friends, and team members affected by this heartbreaking event.
We understand how much our community looks forward to the Independence Day fireworks at the speedway each year. It is a tradition we cherish, and one we hoped to continue in 2025. However, out of respect for those lost and due to the unforeseen loss of available inventory, we have no choice but to cancel this year’s fireworks portion of the event.
As noted, the July 4th race program will continue as scheduled.
We thank our fans for their understanding and continued support, and we encourage everyone to keep the families impacted by the Esparto tragedy in their hearts during this holiday.
For those who would like to request a refund, please email info@eventsprout.com. The EventSprout team will be available to process refund requests.

SWINDELL MAKES RETURN TO THE PAVEMENT THIS WEEKEND
July 2, 2025 - Three-time World of Outlaws sprint car champion Sammy
Swindell is set to make his first winged pavement sprint car start since
1992 this weekend July 4-5 at Colorado National Speedway in Dacono,
Colorado. Swindell will be driving for local Fort Collins, Colorado car
owner Bryan Gossel. Gossel will also compete himself in a team car to
Swindell. Swindell will be competing in both nights with the winner taking
home $10,000-to-win each night.
Swindell has enjoyed a stellar career that has seen him win virtually every
dirt sprint car race imaginable. But at 69 years of age, pavement sprint car
starts have been few and far between. But when he did compete on the
pavement, he was a force to be reckoned with.
Between 1991-1992 the World of Outlaws contested six special winged pavement
sprint car events at tracks in Kansas City, Kansas and Punta Gorda, Florida.
Swindell won a remarkable three of those races. He had two seconds and a
fifth in his other starts. His last winged pavement start came on April 5,
1992. It was also his last win in a pavement sprint car. Now, over
thirty-three years later, Swindell is set to pound the pavement once more.
“We put a deal together to come out here and run some dirt races earlier in
the year. Bryan Gossel had some pavement cars and said they were having this
big race in July” explained Swindell. “He had a new one sitting there that
really wasn’t together. After the races we had a pretty good time, and he
decided to get that other car together for me to come out here this
weekend”.
Interestingly, Swindell has been running a handful of pavement midget races
for the last few seasons for friends Tim Bertrand and David Ward.
“I’ve had a few opportunities here lately to do some pavement stuff. Now
this opportunity has come up. It’s keeping me busy. I didn’t think I was
gonna be doing a whole lot. I’ve been trying to cut back a little bit more.
It seems I’m getting busier than ever, but that’s ok too.”
“The Outlaws did five pavement races or so and I did well there. I think I
won three of them. We had some really good runs there. I liked running the
winged cars on pavement. We have this opportunity to do some more this
weekend. I’ve got a pretty good win percentage running the stuff I did with
the Outlaws.”
Swindell got his first taste of pavement sprint car racing early in 1978
during Florida Speedweeks competing in a handful of non-winged events
highlighted by a start in a 500-lap race at Golden Gate Speedway in Tampa.
He found a victory lane for the first time in a pavement sprint car at
Orlando that year.
“That year I led every one of the pavement races down there, but I had some
issues with the motor. We had some rocker arm issues. I had to start dead
last at Orlando and won there. We put a deal together with M.A. Brown and
Bruce Cogle Ford and put a car together to run those pavement races”.
Swindell has fond memories of competing at Colorado National Speedway when
it was dirt. ”We first came out here in 1977 with Bobby Davis’ sprint car.
That was the first time I ever seen a midget. I won it in John Notary’s car
and ran second the next night. That Rocky Mountain Midget Association was
running. We also won the sprint car deal both nights. That was a long time
ago.” He would also win a World of Outlaws A-main at CNS in 1984.
The dirt veteran is open minded about the possibilities to do more winged
pavement sprint car racing this year and beyond if he has fun and can find
some success.
“It depends if something comes together. I don’t own cars. You never know.
Maybe there will be some opportunities to run other races in the future.”
The Bartlett, Tennessee native seems eager for the task at hand but realizes
things will be drastically different than his last go around on pavement. He
last raced pavement on Good Year Tires. He will be on Hoosier’s this go
around.
“Some of it is gonna be tire management and not running any races to know
how the tires are. I’ll definitely stay on the conservative side, but fast
enough to run good. I don’t have any experience with these tires or this
track. I’m gonna have to lean on a few people to find out what they think
about how hard you can run and what you can do. It will be fine; I’ll figure
it out."
When asked what his goals are for this weekend, he was confident and direct
with his answer. “Just to dominate the thing and win both nights” concluded
Swindell.
Paul Nienhiser Nets 31st Career MOWA Win
PETERSEN MEDIA Spending his Friday night taking on MOWA at his home track, Jacksonville Speedway, Paul Nienhiser charged from the fifth starting position and took the lead late and never looked back en route to his sixth feature event win of the year, and his 31st career triumph with MOWA.
“It was a long couple of days with my wife spending the night in the ER on Thursday and having surgery Friday morning,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Luckily everything went extremely well for her and my guys were able to get us situated at the track.
Drawing the front row for heat race competition, Nienhiser had a very sporty CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc./MB Heating and Cooling backed No. 9x under him as he quickly jumped to the early lead. Leading the way from start to finish, Nienhiser’s win moved him into both the redraw and the feature event where the five pill lined him up in the third row of the 25-lapper.
When the green flag flew, Nienhiser was able to work his way through the top-five as he quickly got into third and began to chase after the lead duo of Will Armitage and Joe B. Miller.
Continuing to hound the lead duo, Nienhiser was able to work around Armitage on the 15th circuit as he moved into second and began his four-lap pursuit of Miller.
Erasing the advantage that Miller had built up over the field on the 18th lap, lap 19 saw Nienhiser make his race winning move on the exit for turn four as he got around Miller and took the top spot to much of the crowd’s delight.
Out front, Nienhiser was flawless over the next six laps as he paced the field, and rocketed to the win.
With the win, Nienhiser now has 31 series wins to his credit and brings his season total up to six wins in just 14 starts.
“We didn’t quite have the balance had all year in our car early in the night, but we took some big swings and it worked out,” Nienhiser said. “Again, thanks to the guys for all they do for me. They have carried my weight a ton this year with all of the stuff I have going on outside of racing and have really done a great job. It is a great feeling to know we have a car capable of winning each night we show up.”
Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer, Dekalb/Asgrow, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-14, Wins-6, Top 5’s-8, Top 10’s-10
ON TAP: Nienhiser will be in action this coming Sunday night at Benton County Speedway.

Pokorski posts PDTR 360 top 10 No. 4
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 1, 2025 – Alex Pokorski kept his string of strong performances in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car competition right on track by racking up another top-10 A-main showing behind the wheel of the No. 4 Akright Auto car at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 28.
Pokorski opened the evening with a bang by nailing down his fast qualifier award of the 2025 season with a top lap of 12.678 seconds.
From there, the West Bend, Wis. native put together an impressive run to second after starting fourth in the third eight-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race.
The A-main provided some challenging and unlucky situations. After lining up fifth, the fifth-year Sprint Car competitor got shuffled back at the start and could never fully recover. Despite a valiant effort to move up to the front of the pack along the outside and later the inside groove of the third-mile semi-banked clay oval, Pokorski fell back four positions to post a ninth-place finish.
Following three consecutive podium finishes in his first three PDTR 360 Sprint Car starts, Pokorski racked up his fourth top-10 A-main showing of the 2025 campaign.
"The night started well, setting quick time," Pokorski said. "I was actually a bit tight and felt we could've been even faster. We continued well into the heat race and got into the invert. Unfortunately, we started in the non-preferred groove on the top-dominant track. We were decently fast, just lost a few spots on both starts. Things got congested later and I couldn't make the moves I wanted to."
After taking the Fourth of July weekend off, Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is planning to make its fifth appearance of the 2025 campaign with the Akright Auto 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 12 for Plymouth Racing Wall of Fame Night.
Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30
p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

Double the Action, Double the Fun – It’s a Double Down Weekend at Tri-City Raceway Park!
Franklin, PA – The Fourth of July is all about fireworks, but this year, the real sparks will fly on the track at Tri-City Raceway Park during our Double Down Weekend celebration!
Things blast off on Friday, July 4th, with the return of the Fast on Dirt Sprint Car Series to the fast and fierce half-mile oval. It’s the third time this season the series has made a stop at Tri-City—and it’s shaping up to be a can’t-miss showdown.
Last year, Brandon Spithaler and A.J. Flick each parked it in Victory Lane during the series’ visits, and both are back looking to add another win to their resumes. Flick, in particular, is always a threat here—Tri-City suits his smooth, aggressive driving style, and he’ll be one of the guys to watch all night long.
But don’t count out points leader Ricky Peterson. He’s been on a roll, already picking up two wins this season at the Venango County track. With just a razor-thin gap between the top drivers in the FAST Series standings, every pass matters:
Ricky Peterson – 2192
Michael Bauer – 2176
Tyler Gunn – 2161
Jordan Ryan – 2114
Lance Heinberger – 1980
Mike Lutz Jr. – 1704
Nathen McDowell – 1531
Anthony Gaskins – 1337
A.J. Flick – 1008

Dover Produces Second-Place Run During Debut at Brown County Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - ABERDEEN, S.D. (June 30, 2025) - Jack Dover tied his season-best result last Friday during his debut at Brown County Speedway, which hosted a Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars and Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association show.
"In hot laps the track was probably the worst I've been on since I started racing," he said. "We ruined a set of tires. We were nervous about how the rest of the night was going to go. They reworked it before our heat races and it was decent."
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver was credited with a run from fifth to third place during his heat race, which was good enough to earn a spot into the feature redraw.
"We went fifth to fourth and the guy in front missed the scales so that put us third," he said. "We were sixth in the redraw order and drew the No. 3 so we started the feature third.
"We got to second right away in the feature and literally paced Tim (Kaeding) the whole time. I passed him at one point on the backstretch. Going into turn three there was a lapped car in front. It was either lift so we don't all wreck or floor it in there and take the chance of wrecking. I lifted and it turned out that was my only chance at getting by Tim. He ran a really good race and got through traffic just a tick better than me. He found the right holes at the right time."
Dover's second-place result was his fourth top five of the season. It also jumped him to second in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings - only four points out of the lead.
An event on Sunday at Casino Speedway in Watertown, S.D., rained out.
Dover will return to action with the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars this Friday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa.
"I'm looking forward to that almost as much as the place we were supposed to race last Sunday because we were very good there in the past," he said. "Obviously 410s and 360s are very different, but I can take what the track usually does and correlate that."
Dover last raced at Rapid Speedway in May 2022 when he recorded a runner-up result. He has a streak of four straight top-two finishes - including two wins - at the track since the end of the 2020 season.

June 27 - Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen, S.D. - Heat race: 3 (5); Feature: 2 (3).

Andy Forsberg 4th at Placerville Speedway on Jimmy Wall Night
PETERSEN MEDIA: On a night that was bigger than racing for Andy Forsberg, the Auburn, CA picked up a fourth place finish in the feature event, but that took a back seat with Saturday night paying homage to an ailing long time race fan, Jimmy Wall, who spent so many years traveling up and down the road with Forsberg.
“Saturday night was all about Jimmy Wall,” Andy Forsberg said. “Unfortunately, last week we got some news about Jimmy and he is very sick and this was most likely the last night we would have him at a track. It was great to see so many people support him on this night and I am thankful we got to give him a proper send off at a place he loved.”
Timing in fourth fastest in qualifying time trials, Forsberg lined the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 up on the front row of his heat race. Powering to the win, Forsberg was locked into the feature event and more importantly in the redraw, where it gave Wall one final opportunity to pull a pill for him, a job that belonged to ‘Eight Pill Jimmy’ for so long.
“The pill draw was great,” Forsberg said with a laugh. “First off, all there should have only been six pills in the bag, but as luck would have it we got the four heat bag, and going first Jimmy pulled the eight for me which he had done so many times over the years. But aside from that, it was super cool to see all five additional drivers have Jimmy pull their pills as well.”
Ultimately ending up with the three pill, Forsberg lined up in the second row for the 25-lap feature event as he chased after his seventh feature event win of the 2025 season.
When the race came to life, Forsberg jumped into second as he chased after Justin Sanders as the duo picked up from their epic battle a month ago during the Davy Thomas Memorial.
Chasing after Sanders in the early laps, an early restart didn’t not go Forsberg’s way as he slipped back to third. Falling back to fifth on the 11th lap, Forsberg was able to work back into fourth just past the halfway point before getting back to third on 16th lap.
Running in third for two laps in an intense battle, Forsberg fell back to fourth on the 19th lap, where he went on to finish.
“Racing honestly played second fiddle on Saturday,” Forsberg added. “We did have a solid night, but doing it up right for Jimmy Wall was a big priority and I am thankful it all went well. We have a big week of racing on tap, and I am hoping we can continue to run well.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Joel Myers Jr Sweeps Butler Speedway with IRA
PETERSEN MEDIA: Back aboard the Hayward Motorsports No. 19 over the weekend in the Midwest, Joel Myers Jr had a very strong car both Friday and Saturday night, which resulted in a clean sweep on Saturday night bumping his win total to 11 triumphs in the calendar year.
“We were really good all weekend long,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We had some bad luck on Friday night in the feature with a flat left front and ultimately cutting a right rear on the last lap, but Saturday night things went our way and we swept the night.”
Checking in at Butler Speedway on Saturday night with the IRA, Myers Jr came out of the gate swinging as he earned quick time honors in time trials aboard the Velocity Engineering/IPC/RPM Chassis backed No. 19.
Lining up fourth in his heat race, the Sebastopol, CA driver had his elbows up as he carved his way forward and ultimately picked up the heat race win.
On the pole of the Dash, Myers Jr continued to flex his muscle as he recorded the Dash win and put the Hayward Motorsports entry on the front row of the feature event as he lined up alongside veteran Tim Shaffer.
When the race went green, Myers Jr shot out to the early lead as he continued his Saturday night dominance.
On the slick surface, Myers looked poised to score the win but as the field got into traffic his pace was slowed enough to allow Shaffer to get into the lead on the 14th lap.
Keeping pace with Shaffer as he ran in second, the Sebastopol, CA driver returned the favor on the 20th lap as he powered back into the top spot. Back out front, Myers Jr was not to be denied as he picked up his 11th feature event win of the season dating back to the winter months in New Zealand.
Also in action on Friday night at Bloomington Speedway, Myers Jr was equally as fast as he earned fast time honors in time trials before finishing fourth in his heat race.
Going from fourth to second in his Dash, Myers Jr lined up fourth in the feature event. When the feature went green, Myers Jr had a left front tire go down in the opening laps, but he didn’t let it slow him down as he quicky moved into second.
Making a couple of challenges for the lead, his efforts were negated on a pair of occasions by caution flags. Continuing to run in second, Myers Jr took the white flag in the runner up spot, but bad luck bit him down the back stretch as a flat right rear tire saw him slow and ultimately get credited with a 13th place finish.
“Big shoutout to everyone at Hayward Motorsports for their hard work all weekend,” Joel Myers Jr said. “Noah and Dyllan worked extremely hard, and we had a car capable of winning both races, but it just didn’t work out. Great to get the team back in victory lane, and looking forward to hopefully making my first start at Knoxville Raceway this week.”
Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Indy Performance Composites, Velocity Engineering, RPM Chassis, DirtDudes Excavating, Russ Wentcamp, The GR8 Company, Hi-Plains Building Division, All About Fire Protection, Sam Carbis Solutions Group, Factory Kahne, Eddie Gilstrap Ford, Blackburn Construction, Al Parker Engines, Nitro Alley Graphics, and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions.

Sanders Second During King’s Meat Night at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Back aboard the potent Dale Miller Motorsports No. 4SA on Saturday in Placerville, CA Justin Sanders avoided a near disaster on the ninth lap before recording a second place finish during King’s Meats night at Placerville Speedway.
“We had another really good car on Saturday at Placerville Speedway, but unfortunately we came up just short again and ran second,” Justin Sanders said. “We had a near disaster in traffic early in the race, but luckily I was able to keep the engine fired and drove away.”
A total of 23 cars embarked into the Placerville Speedway for King’s Meats night at the Speedway and Sanders kicked the action off by timing the Anrak/Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Yuba Sutter Aviation backed No. 4SA in third fastest in qualifications.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Sanders worked into third as the race came to life, which was good enough to not only transfer him to the feature event but it also included him in the nightly redraw reverting back to his qualifying efforts.
Having super fan, Jimmy Wall, do the drawing for him, Sanders ended up with the ‘one’ and then led the field to green for the 25-lap feature event.
As the race came to life, Sanders mashed the throttle as he powered into the early lead and was setting a very strong pace that saw him rapidly close in on the back of the field.
Getting into traffic on the eighth lap, the ninth lap saw Sanders and a slower car make slight contact that saw both cars spin around. Despite losing the handle, Sanders was able to keep his mount under power and took his spot at the front of the field for the ensuing restart.
When the accident was cleared and the green lights replaced the yellow, Sanders was under fire from Tony Gomes in turns one and two, as Gomes made a big move to take over the race’s top spot.
Falling back to second, Sanders continued to keep pace with Gomes but never quite had the opportunity to make a big to reclaim the top spot.
When the race came to a close, Sanders took the checkered with a second place finish.
The Dale Miller Motorsports team would like to thank Anrak, Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Yuba Sutter Aviation, Triple X Race Co., Dale Miller Septic Inc., Smith Titanium, Frank’s Body Shop, Fisher Racing Engines, Walker Performance Filtration, ADCO Custom Driveline and Exhaust, Hair by Lovleen, Factory Kahne Shocks, TJ Forged Wheels, FK Rod Ends, King Racing Products, and A.R.T. Speed Equipment for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 9, Wins- 2, Top-5’s-6, Top-10’s-7
ON TAP: Dale Miller Motorsports and Justin Sanders are TBD on their next event.
Mid Race Pile Up Ends Tanner Carrick’s Night
PETERSEN MEDIA: Back in action on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Tanner Carrick had a very good night going until a multi car altercation just prior to the race’s halfway point collected him and brought his night to an end while running in third.
“We had a really good night going on Saturday, and got off to a great start in the feature, but we endured some bad luck that ended our night early,” Tanner Carrick said. “We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and got collected.”
Making his way back to Placerville Speedway with his Carrick Motorsports team, the Lincoln, CA driver timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Carrick picked up the win and earned a spot in the redraw, but his drawing woes continued as he pulled the five and lined up in the third row of the 25-lap affair.
Despite high temperatures and two sprint car divisions on hand Saturday night, the track surface stayed in really good shape and it allowed Carrick to quickly jump into third when the green flag was displayed to the field.
Chasing after Justin Sanders and Andy Forsberg who ran first and second, the leaders quickly caught the rear of the field and began to put cars a lap down.
On the ninth lap however, chaos ensued and Carrick found himself with nowhere to go and collected in a pile up. The result essentially was that Carrick’s night was over with too much damage to repair and he retired to the pit area.
“I hate it for the guys, because we have had so much speed lately but just not a lot to show for it,” Tanner Carrick added. “We have a big night up coming this weekend, and I am hoping we can run well in all three divisions.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 30, Wins: 1, Top 5’s: 11, Top 10’s: 18
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports team will be right back in action this Saturday night at Placerville Speedway where he will run both a winged and non-winged sprint cars as well as a USAC Western States Midget.

Tony Gomes Returns to Placerville Speedway Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA- Saturday night, Tony Gomes and the C&M Motorsports team stayed hot at Placerville Speedway as the Modesto, CA was back in victory lane for the second time in three races at the quarter mile bullring in El Dorado County.
“Saturday night flowed very nicely for the C&M Motorsports team,” Tony Gomes said. “We timed in pretty well, won our heat, and had Jimmy Wall pull our redraw pill. We got a good start, and with some patience and a good car I was able to get to the front and grab the win.”
With 23 cars on hand for a night of weekly action Saturday night, Gomes timed the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed no. 7C in fifth fastest in qualifying action before lining up on the front row of his heat race.
On a hot summer afternoon, the track stayed in nice shape despite two divisions of sprint cars being in attendance, and the Modesto, CA driver was able to get the jump when his heat race went green and he never looked back.
Picking up the win, Gomes earned a spot in the redraw, where longtime race fan Jimmy Wall pulled the six pill for the team which put them in the third row for the 25-lap feature event.
As the feature event came to life, Gomes got to the Placerville Speedway cushion and quickly raced his way into the fourth position as the opening stanzas clicked off.
With traffic coming into play, a bit of chaos ensued with a few of the front runners and Gomes was able to avoid the altercation as he was third for the impending restart.
Nailing the restart, Gomes pounced into the lead as the field race off of turn two and began the break away only to be slowed by a few yellows during back half of the race.
Able to endure restarts, Gomes continued to lead the way as the laps wound down and he was able to power to his second win of the season with C&M Motorsports and give the team their third overall triumph of the season.
“I am super thankful that we were able to hang on to the win,” Tony Gomes added. “Cody and Mandi have supported me for so long, and I am happy to reward them and get the family into victory lane. Cody works so hard in the pits alongside Bobby, and Rich and it is truly a team effort week in and week out. Really happy to get right back to it with two races on deck this weekend.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Tony Gomes are right back to it this week at Placerville Speedway on Friday and Saturday night.

Kaleb Johnson Rallies Throughout Night at Knoxville Raceway
Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 30, 2025) - Kaleb Johnson rebounded from a tough start to the night last Saturday at Knoxville Raceway.
The Team DGRD crew changed the engine after Johnson ended 28 th in qualifying.
"It was quite the night to change the engine," Johnson said. "It was hot and humid. After changing engines, I felt like we had power underneath me and it was all good from there. But when you qualify 28th, you're stuck in a deep hole."
Johnson advanced from seventh to fifth place in a heat race and he won the B Main after lining up fifth.
"After we changed engines we didn't have a lot of time to work on the car," he said. "I felt decent in the heat race and we were able to fine-tune from there. We made it better and better. We had good speed in the B Main. Starting behind 20 cars in the feature was going to be tough, but I felt we were rolling pretty decent."
Johnson maneuvered from 21 st to 12 th in the main event. His nine positions gained were the second most.
"I was able to roll the bottom pretty well, but a lot of guys were on the bottom so I had to make the top work," he said. "I got to 14 th or 15 th and a lot of guys right in front of me were on the top so I went back to the bottom and picked off a couple more."
Johnson, who ranks ninth in the track's championship standings, will return to Knoxville Raceway this Saturday.
"I feel we ended the night decent on Saturday so hopefully we can transition that to the earlier part of the night this weekend and not have to be in such a big hole," he said. "I think there will be a high car count so it'll be a good test to see where we stack up."

Mallett Looking Forward to Belleville High Banks Debut This Week
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (June 30, 2025) - Jordon Mallett will compete at a new track this week when he ventures to Belleville High Banks.
The high-banked oval in Belleville, Kan., showcases The Big One featuring the ASCS National Tour this Thursday and Friday.
"I've never been there," he said. "I'm ready to go and see it. I have no set expectations. It's a pretty good-sized show and not one on our schedule every year so I feel like it'll be fresh for a lot of people. I'm eager to see the place and see how we can get around."
As excited as Mallett is to visit a new track, he's more so looking forward to getting races in. Mallett has only been able to compete eight times this season through the month of June.
"It's kind of a weird deal," he said. "I don't remember any years in the past with this many rainouts. We were in Tulsa last weekend and we found out that area had had its annual rainfall already this year. It's just been a wet year. Back in the farming days I learned, if it's this wet this early it's going to be hot and dry late. Hopefully we can get the weather on our side and get back to being able to get races in consistently."
A pair of ASCS National Tour races last weekend at Tulsa Speedway in Tulsa, Okla., rained out.
"At least we were only four hours from home," he said. "If I have to find a good side, it's that. Fingers crossed we get some dry weekends moving forward."
Mallett enters this week's races ranked sixth in the ASCS National Tour championship standings - only 13 points out of the top five and 16 points behind fourth place.

Starks Delivers Third-Place Performance at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - ALGER, Wash. (June 30, 2025) - Trey Starks produced his 12 th podium outing of the season last Saturday at Skagit Speedway.
"It was interesting," he said. "The track was really, really wet so it wasn't super enjoyable. We got third so I can't complain. You just had to ride and try not to crash."
Starks set quick time during qualifying before he advanced a position to place third in a heat race. That earned a spot into the feature redraw, which lined Starks up on the outside of the second row in the main event.
"There weren't many cars so that didn't help widen the track out," he said. "It got about halfway up the track and then stopped moving. On the start I tried to go above the cushion in turns one and two. It almost worked. I got into third and close to challenging for second. I got hung on the outside and fell back to fourth. Instead of getting risky and going up above it, I just tried to stay consistent to see if I could pick off spots by hitting my marks. About the halfway point we got into third and kinda rode there. I was cautious through traffic and tried to keep my nose clean. At the end of the day we were good enough to run third and that was pretty much it."
Starks ended with a third-place result, which was his sixth top five in eight 410ci winged sprint car points races at the track this season - tied for the most. His current lead in the championship standings is 33 points.
Starks returns to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for a 360ci winged sprint car show. He enters with a 66-point advantage in the championship standings.

Brown second at Knoxville; Mid-Season Championship ahead at Sprint Car
Capital of the World
ByTyler Altmeyer
June 30, 2025
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (June 30, 2025) – In all, a near-perfect evening for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing at Knoxville Raceway, and although the multi-time track champion and two-time winner in 2025 was one spot short of their goal on Saturday, June 28, Brown’s speed and potential is obvious, steadily padding the notebook for Knoxville’s massive four-day event in August.
As hinted, Brown, ace of his Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, finished second in his recent appearance at Knoxville, leading most of the main event before losing the top spot to Ryan Timms following a green-white-checkered restart. The Higginsville, Missouri, native launched his evening with the seventh-fastest qualifying time, followed by a two-spot charge from fifth to third in his heat.
“A much needed solid night at Knoxville Raceway,” Brown said. “Qualified decent…pretty good in the heat then pretty good in the main. Our car was pretty good all night long, and we thought it was good enough to win. Obviously Ryan [Timms] has been pretty fast and he was able to take advantage of the green-white-checkered. We’ve been fighting some electrical gremlins and unfortunately it reared its ugly head during the green-white-checkered. But, I think the fastest car won, and as they say in basketball, the ball doesn’t lie.
“Not happy with second, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Brown added. “Looking forward to getting back there Saturday, putting the work in and getting better. We have a while yet before the Nationals to get where we need to be. But in all, we’re heading in the right direction.”

Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with a

Reutzel all-out impressive in Wheatland, takes High Limit
lead; RSR Shop Party and Knoxville double ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
June 30, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 30, 2025) – Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) were all-out impressive in their three-day Diamond Classic visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, not only earning three consecutive High Limit Racing top-five performances, but scoring a victory in the process, accomplished in the weekend’s opener on Thursday, June 26.
The victory, technically a Midweek Series program for High Limit Racing, was the sixth of Reutzel’s season and his fourth with the Series, his other two victories accomplished during Knoxville 360 Sprint Car competition and POWRi action, respectively. “A-Aron” led the final 19 circuits to secure the Midweek triumph, surviving a final corner throwdown by Tanner Thorson to maintain control.
As noted, Reutzel and RSR raced on to secure two additional top-fives at Lucas Oil Speedway, finishing fifth on Friday, June 27, and second on Saturday, June 28. Reutzel’s runner-up finish, leading the first 14 circuits, earned the Clute, Texas, native and former All Star Circuit of Champions champion a $10,000 payday, simultaneously taking command of the High Limit Racing championship standings – a nine-point advantage. The team’s victory on Thursday also secured the Midweek Series point lead.
“Just an incredible weekend for this entire team. Things are rolling right now and we’re really excited for the midpoint of the year,” Brian Ridge, owner of the Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, explained. “We want to remind everyone of the RSR Shop Party that we’re having on Friday, July 4. Music, food, entertainment…it’s going to be a great evening. We invite everyone to attend and enjoy themselves. A great holiday weekend send off.”
Ridge & Sons Racing will celebrate July 4 with an Open House at their race shop in Knoxville, Iowa. Kicking off at 7 pm, the evening will feature food, music, and the Iowa Beer Bus. No RSVP needed. The shop address is: 1460 West Bell Avenue, Knoxville, Iowa.

OH SO CLOSE: Andrews with speed at Attica; AFCS doubleheader ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer June 30, 2025
SANDUSKY, Ohio (June 30, 2025) – Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing were well on their way to victory Friday night at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, but Lady Luck would unfortunately intervene, forcing Andrews to give up command with less than a handful of circuits remaining.
Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, Real American Beer, Fleet Financial, Cintas, Whiteford Kenworth, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, Burdue Insurance, TruckParts4U.com, No. 15C sprint car, led Attica’s main event until three-to-go, ultimately sliding up and over turn one’s tricky cushion forcing a caution. Eventually scored 13th, the triumph would have been Andrews’ second of the season at the home of “Ohio’s Finest Racing,” finding victory lane on Friday, March 28.
The Sandusky native had planned to join the All Star Circuit of Champions at Mercer Raceway on Saturday, June 28, but a night to “shake it off” was needed.
“Man, just heartbreak for this entire Ohio Truck Sales | Real American Beer team,” Andrews was quick to note. “Just got a little impatient I think…needed to just cruise those last few laps, but I got into the corner too hard and the rest is history. Regardless, a great effort by everyone on Friday. Everyone works too hard to be denied wins. We’ll work for some redemption on Friday and Saturday.”
ON DECK: Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will continue their 2025 season with Attica/Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) visits to Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway on Friday and Saturday, July 4-5.

June 30, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (June 30, 2025) – Troy and Tammy Renfro’s TKS Motorsports certainly know their way around Knoxville’s historic half-mile, and with the coveted Knoxville Nationals less than two months away, it’s never too late to add to the notebook, doing so in a return visit on Saturday, June 28.
Ian Madsen, driver of Troy and Tammy’s Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, No. 2KS sprint car, finished 11th in his recent visit, climbing eight spots from 19th on the grid after winning his respective heat race. For Madsen, taking the ropes at TKS Motorsports just shy of the midpoint of the season, the near-top-ten was beneficial and confidence boosting, eager to test their notes yet again in the facility’s Mid-Season Championship set for Saturday, July 5.
“A solid night overall for TKS Motorsports,” Troy Renfro explained. “We had ourselves in a little bit of a hole on Saturday, but Ian [Madsen] was patient and persevered.

Lucas Oil’s Diamond Classic complete; Doney-Lawson Racing

ODESSA, Mo. (June 30, 2025) – Xavier Doney, Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars made the most of their three-day visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, not only earning three-consecutive High Limit Racing A-Main starts, but nearly attaining a top-ten in the process, accomplishing their weekend high in Thursday’s Midweek Series/Diamond Classic opener.

Swanson Dominates Rich Vogler Classic at Winchester
In Doran Binks Racing’s Mission Foods No. 77;
He Leads All 100 Laps from the Pole Friday Night
For the Fourth Straight Year
WINCHESTER, Ind., June 29 — Kody Swanson has already earned the designation of “Greatest of All Time” in USAC Silver Crown competition since he has the most career wins, poles, and championships in series history. He can go down in history as “The King of the High Banks” too with dominating performances like his sixth overall and fourth straight victory in the Rich Vogler Classic Friday night at the high-banked paved oval of Winchester Speedway, known as “the world’s fastest half-mile.”
For the 34th annual version of this classic race and the fourth straight year he led all 100 laps from the pole at this track, which has 37 degrees of banking in its turns. Swanson’s winning Doran Binks Racing No. 77 is sponsored by Mission Foods, Glenn Farms, and Wilke Orthodontics, and is powered by a Lanci Ford engine.
Besides winning this particular race at Winchester four consecutive times, Swanson also won it in 2016 and 2019 when it was held at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. He is also the winningest USAC Silver Crown driver ever at IRP.
The Rich Vogler Classic hasn’t always been a USAC Silver Crown event. It was also a USAC sprint and USAC midget race in the past, and it wasn’t held at all during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Swanson’s Winchester streak makes him one of only four drivers to have ever won four consecutive races here in any USAC national division. The last time that happened was 1999. Steve Chassey remains the holder of that record with five consecutive USAC national sprint car victories at Winchester in 1979. Dave Steele and Ryan Newman had four straight wins at Winchester from 1998 through 1999, Steele’s coming in the USAC national sprint car division and Newman’s in USAC national midgets.
The USAC Silver Crown division is unique in that it is contested on both asphalt and dirt ovals. High-banked asphalt tracks come with their own set of challenges, but Swanson is certainly a master of them. He also has five straight USAC Silver Crown victories on another famous high-banked track the USAC Silver Crown series will visit Aug. 9: Salem Speedway in Salem, Ind. In 2020 he broke Pancho Carter’s record of four consecutive Joe James-Pat O’Connor Memorial victories set between 1974 and 1977.
On Friday Swanson, a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Brownsburg, Ind., extended his series record for USAC Silver Crown career victories to 47 and poles to 57. He is an eight-time USAC Silver Crown champion, the most of anyone ever, as well as the series’ defending champion.
Masters have a way of making their performances look easy, but behind the scenes they often have to overcome challenges. After the race Swanson noted he had trouble getting through lapped traffic, which he started doing as early as lap nine in the 100-lap race. He also said tire management was challenging, as his Hoosiers were very worn down for the last 20 laps of the race, which made his car “a handful” to drive. “I’m glad I didn’t spin out on that last restart,” he said.
“One hundred laps around here is tough, and C.J. Leary had a really good car and pressured me a lot,” he added. “The whole field is really good; they’ll make you pay if you mess up.
“I had a tough time getting around some of the lapped cars that were racing each other,” he noted. “It’s like walking a tightrope to get around on the high banks. The challenge is to be fast enough while still saving your equipment. You have to try to go as fast as you need to.”
Swanson’s rivals had prime opportunities to pass him at the initial start and three restarts after yellows, the last of which set up a green-white-checkered finish.
Leary started alongside Swanson but Swanson beat him into Turn 1 on the first lap of the race and already had a three car length advantage by Turn 2. But Leary was only one-, two- or three-tenths of a second back for the first 28 laps.
The timing of the cautions and the difficulty getting around lapped cars kept things close. The first yellow flew on lap 31 for debris on the backstretch. It may have come from Kyle Robbins’ car, as he reported to the pit area with a crumpled tail tank under that yellow. Jake Trainor also retired under that yellow.
The second yellow waved on lap 54 when 15-year-old Colton Bettis stopped in Turn 4 while running tenth, reportedly due to a broken fuel pump cable.
Swanson had built up his biggest advantage of the race — 3.625 seconds — on lap 94 when the third and final yellow came out after the driver who was tenth at the time, Matt Westfall, hit the outside wall in Turn 2 and Leary, who was still second, spun to avoid him and came to a stop low at the entrance to that turn. Both drivers were OK but their cars were dragged back to their pit areas on the back of wreckers. Leary’s car had a flat right-rear tire, but he didn’t have any positions to gain by restarting so late in the race so he wasn’t running at the finish.
His departure gave second place to Justin Grant for the green-white-checkered finish, but Swanson had a 1.353-second margin of victory over him. Dakoda Armstrong finished third. Bobby Santos, who was second the last two years here, was fourth this time, and 2008 Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman placed fifth. Taylor Ferns was sixth and Nathan Byrd placed seventh. Swanson lapped through seventh place. Kyle Steffens, Leary, and Westfall rounded out the top 10.
Swanson set the fastest race lap on lap 63 with a time of 15.593 seconds. Leary was second in that category with a 15.801 three laps later.
Swanson won the pole for the fifth year in a row here with a time of 14.842 set on his first of two laps. Swanson has started on the pole in all five of the USAC Silver Crown races held at Winchester. He set the series’ track record here in 2021 with a 14.459. That time was hard to beat this year, as Friday’s race was held under a heat advisory.
It was the Lebanon, Ohio-based team’s second consecutive USAC Silver Crown victory this year, as it also won at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., on June 14.
“We had some bad luck at the beginning of the season, and I appreciate everyone on this Doran Binks team’s effort to stay on it and make the extra effort to keep the car going good,” Swanson said. “I appreciate the opportunity to get to do this, and that wouldn’t happen without our sponsors like Mission Foods, Glenn Farms, Wilke Orthodontics, and Rosewood Machine and Tool. We have a lot of great product sponsors too, like TJ Forged Wheels, Duncan Fuel and Oil, and All Star Performance, to name a few.”
The race was streamed live by Flo Racing.
Doran Binks Racing’s next USAC Silver Crown race will be the USAC RaceAid 100 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in Brownsburg, Ind., on Wednesday, July 23. USAC RaceAid, a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to USAC members and their families in times of injury and need, will receive a $5 donation from every ticket and pit pass sold for that event.

Landon Brooks and BHR cap Dirt Cup and Fastest 5 Days trip with HK Classic up next
By Gary Thomas
Alger, Washington…Landon Brooks and Bates Hamilton Racing finished up a stretch of eight races in the Northwest this past Saturday at the annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup in Washington.
Prior to Dirt Cup, Brooks and BHR tackled the Fastest 5 Days in Motorsports with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. “The Fastest 5 Days was a good week for use,” Brooks said. “We had a lot of speed and led laps but just needed some luck on our side.”
Brooks began the Fastest 5 Days in Motorsports on June 11th by qualifying second overall at Southern Oregon Speedway. A fourth-place finish in the heat race, followed by a victory in the Dash gave him the pole for the 30-lap feature.
At the waving of the green flag in the main event Brooks shot out front over James McFadden. He would proceed to lead the opening 13 circuits, before suffering a flat tire on lap 18. After getting it changed in the work area he proceeded to climb back up to 12th by the finish.
The 21-year-old then had his finest overall night of the Fastest 5 Days in Motorsports on Thursday at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg. After timing-in ninth fastest he raced to victory during his heat race.
A runner-up effort in the Dash placed him on the front row once again for the main event. Like the previous night, he jumped into the lead and held the field at bay over the first eight circuits. While racing in traffic he would fall to second on lap nine. A hectic final green flag run saw him ultimately cross the stripe in position number four, capping a solid night.
The Yuba City driver and BHR continued to show speed on Friday at Cottage Grove Speedway by qualifying 10th and finishing runner up in the heat race. Starting from the fourth row he proceeded to run among the top five for much of the contest, until finishing seventh at the conclusion.
Following a 12th place finish at Willamette Speedway on Saturday, the team headed for Gray’s Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington to finish off the Fastest 5 Days in Motorsports. The Sunday “Timber Cup” saw Brooks time-in fifth overall, before finishing fourth in the heat race and sixth in the Dash.
Brooks looked strong early and quickly moved into third despite brake issues from the get-go. He would eventually pull off just before the halfway point to conclude the week.
Coming back to open the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup on Thursday June 19th at Skagit Speedway, Brooks qualified 40th overall, before a second-place effort in his heat race. A win in the C-main followed by a 16th place run in the B-main put an end the program.
Returning on Friday, Brooks qualified 21st and ran third in his heat race, placing the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L in the B-main. A third-place finish in the semi gave him the 23rd starting spot for the main event.
Brooks settled into a groove early and then spent the final half of the race picking off cars. With around 10 circuits remaining he moved into 15th and then got another spot with five laps left. He would then carve his way up to 10th by the time the checkered waved, earning the Hard Charger Award.
The final night of Dirt Cup saw him transfer out of the B-main into the big 40-lap finale to cap the event. Starting from 25th he was involved in a multi car crash around lap 15 when cars got together in front of him. After getting things fixed, he went on to finish in 19th.
“We struggled just to get speed early in the night at Skagit, which pretty much killed our weekend, as qualifying was a key for three days,” commented Brooks. “I felt good on Saturday in the feature but got into a wreck and broke the LR shock stud and blew out our right rear tire. Hopefully we learned enough to be better in August when we go back and get some good finishes with High Limit Racing.”
Next up for Brooks aboard the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 21L is one of the biggest events of the season, with the annual Howard Kaeding Classic taking place on July 18 and 19th.
The double header at Ocean Speedway features two nights of racing with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. During their most recent trip to Watsonville, Brooks and BHR set a new all-time track record at the quarter mile.
“We had a lot of speed at Watsonville the last time we were there, so we are hoping for a good weekend at the HK,” Brooks summarized. “I want to thank the BHR team for the opportunity to drive this car.”

Racing icon Bert Emick passes away
By Brian Liskai
FLORIDA – The dirt track racing community lost an icon Thursday, June 26. Former head of the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series Bert Emick passed away at Halifax Hospital in Daytona, Florida after a brief illness. He was 84-years-old.
Emick was surrounded by his loving wife Brigitte, whom he married in 1962, and his daughter Kristi. Bert often said his greatest accomplishment in life was taking care of “his girls.” His heart was filled with gratitude for the love and respect of the racing community and he was so looking forward to attending the All Star reunion in September and he will be watching from above.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, to Betty and Bert “Pop” Emick Sr., Bert became interested in auto racing through his father who enjoyed racing photography as a hobby. Bert later joined his father as a photographer by the time he was in his early 20s.
Bert began his working career in the automobile service industry, eventually owning his own muffler shop in 1975. Because of his upbringing, Bert and Brigitte were regulars at races in Ohio and the surrounding states in the 1960s and 1970s. Bert and Brigitte had racing photo stands at tracks in Ohio and West Virginia in the mid-to-late 1970s.
The All Star Circuit of Champions was formed in 1970 by C.H. “Bud” Miller with partners Paul Waite, William Baieri and George Yobe. Eleven races were run in 1970, mostly 100 lappers on Wednesday nights in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, each paying $1,000 to win. Ralph Quarterson won the first All Star point title over Bobby Allen, Lee Osborne and Lou Blaney.
Due to Miller’s business commitments, no All Star events were contested in 1971 or 1972. However another season began in 1973 with 11 shows scheduled with Jan Opperman winning the series title.
Because of those early All Star successes and the renewed enthusiasm in “outlaw” sprint car racing generated by Ted Johnson’s World of Outlaws in 1978, racing photographer friends Jerry Clum and Emick decided to start their own series in 1979. Five events under the Midwest Outlaw Super Series (MOSS) were held in Ohio and West Virginia with Dub May winning the point title.
Bert got involved because of his admiration for the grass-roots, low budget traveling racers. Bert’s goal was to help these type of racers out with good purses without a lot of travel. By 1980 the MOSS series was growing quickly with 22 events scheduled and the addition of a MOSS late model series. Bert sold his muffler shop that year.
MOSS events paid $2,000 to win with a point fund champion taking $10,000 claimed by Bobby Allen and Jim Dunn taking the late model title.
However, unbeknownst to Bert and Jerry, a track promoter who had booked MOSS events in 1980, copyrighted the name and following an unsuccessful battle in court, the duo lost the MOSS name. Bert rededicated himself to the sport and the All Star Circuit of Champions moniker was used again starting in 1981 for both the sprint car and late model series.
An All Star Board of Directors was created with Bert and Brigitte at the helm. As the series grew, Bert turned over the day-to-day operations of the late model series to Bill Moore in 1982. The late models series declined in the early 1990s before being disbanded in 1993.
In 1983 Ohio Sprint Speedweek was started featuring six races in six nights under the All Star Circuit of Champions banner. The brainchild of Eldora’s Earl Baltes, speedweek has been imitated in several other regions. In fact, Attica Raceway Park kicks off the annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek with the Bert and Brigitte Emick Classic each year.
Bert gives all the credit for the growth in purses and points funds for the All Stars over the years to his wife, Brigitte who worked tirelessly on financials, statistics and running the series souvenir trailer. She was always at Bert’s side.
Bert was loved and respected by drivers, car owners, track promoters and the fans. He was voted the inaugural recipient of the National Sprint Car Poll’s Outstanding Contribution to the Sport Award in 1985 and has been ranked in the top five of the most influential leaders in the sport every year since the poll’s inception in 1991. He was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame in 2012.
A memorial will be held at a later date and a full obituary is pending.
Justyn Cox guides Bates Hamilton Racing Sprinter to 7th on Fan Appreciation Night in Placerville
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing continued the Berco Redwood championship campaign at Placerville Speedway this past Saturday, scoring a seventh-place finish for the second consecutive event.
“Saturday was a fun night,” Cox stated. “We were a tick off in time trials, although the car felt great, we can’t seem to find the speed in the motor just yet and discover what it likes. Qualifying 10th sort of hindered our night. We had a tough heat and needed a lot of luck to win that one.”
The 31-year-old began the evening as noted, by qualifying 10th overall in ADCO Driveline time trials, before finishing third in his heat race aboard the Berco Redwood/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales No. 42x mount.
Cox then lined up on the outside of row five in the 25-lap feature. When the green flag dropped, he immediately jumped into eighth and then shot up to sixth after a few laps.
With eight laps down he got to fifth for a split second, before having a solid battle around that spot for several circuits. The final laps saw him motor along in seventh, which is where he crossed under the Darin Stahl checkered flag.
“In the main we were sporty early, as I jumped to sixth pretty fast, but towards the middle half I got a bit tight on the cushion,” Cox commented. “I couldn’t run it perfectly and fell back to seventh just trying too hard.”
With the BHR team also running Landon Brooks in Washington, the Sellers family stepped in to help on Saturday with the No. 42x Sprint Car. Cox gave his thanks for the assistance at the event.
“A huge thank you to Billy Sellers for wrenching on Saturday, we hit it off well and I felt comfortable right off the bat. Big thanks to Billy, Michael and LeRoy as well for helping during the night. As always, thank you to BHR for allowing this all to happen. It takes a lot of work to run two teams at the same time in two different states.”
Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing now get set for a return to Placerville Speedway this Saturday for Kings Meats Half Priced Burger Night.
Going into the event Cox holds down sixth in the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car point standings.
“I’m excited to get back together with my standard guys and see if we can get qualified better to have a strong night this weekend,” Cox concluded.

• Kenny Miller III (Morgantown, PA) – The current points leader has taken a
brief break from sprint car action, but he’s been staying sharp in micro
sprints at local tracks.
• Steven Drevicki (Reading, PA) – Turned heads during Eastern Storm,
grabbing Hard Charger honors and several heat race wins over the five-race
stretch.
• Christian Bruno (Deptford, NJ) – Has continued to build momentum with
strong micro sprint runs during the series break.
• Ed Aikin – Brought out a powerful 410 engine for two of the Eastern Storm
shows. After sorting out the bugs and regaining brakes after Bridgeport, he
held his own with the national stars at Port Royal.
• Jason Cherry – Fifth in points and on the rise, Cherry competed at both
Port Royal and Action Track USA with the National USAC series in June,
earning bonus money for 360 entries.
• Olivia Thayer – A fresh face on the tour, she’s been embracing the
challenge of new tracks and non-wing competition. She’s ready for the
central PA doubleheader.
• Ronald Helmick (Quakertown, PA) & Bobby Butler (Milford, NJ) – Both are on
the verge of breakout performances and are ones to keep an eye on this
weekend.
• Dale Schweikart (Linden, PA) – A local 305 favorite and owner of The Auto
Barn, Schweikart is targeting his first USAC victory this weekend—on home
turf.

Dollar Speedway, kicking off eight nights of racing in 10 days.
The overall champion of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek will pocket $4,000 while the runner receives $2,500 and third place earns $1,500.
Each Shop Kyle Larson main event will hand out a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the 24-car field.

We’re excited to visit Skagit and Elma for the first time with SCCT, as well as visit all the tracks that are a part of the week.”
Jon Hager with Skagit Speedway also shared his sentiments:
“We are excited to collaborate with Scott and Kami to bring SCCT to Skagit Speedway. The 360 Summer Nationals will certainly benefit from the addition of several cars from down south and such talented drivers.

Hartmann shifts focus, eyes Cedar Lake Outlaws doubleheader
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 25, 2025 – A night that started with promise ended prematurely with more motor woes for Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team at the Road America Challenge Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 21.
The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor fired off the evening with a solid seventh-place effort in the 25-car qualifying field with a lap of 12.158 seconds.
Following a fourth-place finish in the first eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann earned his third IRA dash appearance of the 2025 campaign. After rolling off third in the first dash, Hartmann placed fifth to earn the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap IRA headliner.
However, Hartmann’s A-main run proved to be short lived as he dropped out of the race on lap 3 with motor issues. He received credit for a 25th-place finish.
In a season-plagued by engine problems, Hartmann will veer off the IRA tour this weekend in favor of a different destination.
“It’s just been one of those years with all of the motor problems,” Hartmann said. “We have a fresh bullet going in for the doubleheader coming up this weekend with the Outlaws at Cedar Lake.”
The team is now set to head to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for a two-night stand with the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series on Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28.
Hot laps start at 6:30 with qualifying and racing to follow.
Both nights will be streamed live at dirtvision.com.

Fast start falls short for Arenz at Road Challenge, IRA road trip on tap
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 25, 2025 – Still riding the wave of his remarkable upset victory in a High Limit Racing national tour series event at 141 Speedway on June 5, it was a matter of so close, yet so far away in the Road America Challenge Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 21.
The 18th-year racer enjoyed a great start to the night by qualifying a stout fourth in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.050 seconds around the third-mile semi-banked red clay oval.
After finishing second in the first eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz advanced to his seventh IRA dash appearance in eight tries in 2025. After making a huge outside move on the opening lap of the first four-lap dash, Arenz advanced from fifth to second to earn the fourth starting position in the 30-lap Road America Challenge main event.
The 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion got off to a strong start in A-main action before engaging in a battle for second with Jake Neuman. After moving past Neumann on Lap 17, the 2013 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Outlaw Compact four-cylinder track champion tracked down leader Kelby Watt heading into the closing stages of the race.
Arenz surged ahead to lead lap 24 before Watt battled back along the outside groove. On lap 25, Watt attempted to squeeze past Arenz next to the backstretch wall. However, the two drivers made contact before Watt cut down the track in turn three to seize the lead.
Meanwhile, Arenz slowed to a stop on the following lap with a flat right rear tire resulting from the collision with Watt. After making a tire change in the work area, Arenz returned at the rear of the lead lap before moving up to secure a 15th-place showing at the finish line.
“I was very happy to be able to put down a good lap in qualifying,” Arenz said. “The heat race went well and I moved forward in the dash. Unfortunately, come feature time, there was a racing incident that caused a caution and cut down my right rear tire after taking over the lead position. We were able to get it changed and with five laps to go, and I was able to drive from the back of the field to get a few spots back.”
The team is preparing to head out on the road with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Sprint Car Series this Friday, June 27 at Bloomington Speedway in Bloomington, Ind. and Saturday, June 28 at Butler Speedway in Quincy, Mich.
At Bloomington Speedway on Friday night, IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars and Super Stocks are also on the card. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 5 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m. on the quarter-mile high-banked red clay oval.
On Saturday night at three-eighths high-banked Butler Motor Speedway dirt oval, UMP Modifieds and Four Cylinders will also be featured with pit gates opening at 3 p.m., followed by spectator gates at 4 p.m., hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m.
The races will mark Arenz’s first career appearance at both tracks.
“I always like to take on new tracks,” Arenz said. “I see it as a challenge to test my knowledge and skill. We will do what we do every night - watch the track, watch other drivers on the track, make smart choices and be smooth and consistent.”

Larson's first Lucas Oil Speedway appearance and five Kubota High Limit Racing title contenders to watch
MEDIA CONTACT: Lyndal Scranton (Lscranton755@gmail.com)
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 25, 2025) - One of the biggest stars in
motorsports is set to make his first laps at Lucas Oil Speedway on Thursday
night as Kyle Larson participates in the opener of the 2nd annual Kubota
High Limit Racing Diamond Classic.
Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Champion who pulled off
the Indy 500/Coca-Cola 600 double last month, will be racing only on
Thursday which is part of the Roto-Rooter Midweek Series. Action continues
on Friday and Saturday for the series' regular "High Rollers" and other
regional invaders looking to take them on.
An accomplished open-wheel driver since his early days in
the sport, the 32-year-old Larson and brother-in-law Brad Sweet own the 410
winged sprint car national series. The circuit hosts 60 events in 20 states
across the United States this year and will pay out nearly $6 million in
prize money.
Sweet, of Grass Valley, Calif., leads a closely contested
championship chase as the series returns for the Diamond Classic. Here is a
closer look at the top five drivers in the championship chase heading into
the three-day Diamond Classic:
Brad Sweet: The 39-year-old has an impressive resume of
open-wheel racing going back more than two decades. Sweet won the
championship in 2024. Nicknamed “The Big Cat,” Sweet cemented his spot as
one of the best in Sprint Car racing history with four consecutive World of
Outlaws championships, driving for Kasey Kahne Racing.
Tyler Courtney: The Indianapolis resident captured the first
Kubota High Limit Racing feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway last June,
driving for Clauson-Marshall Racing. “Sunshine” he started ninth and went
from third-to-first on lap 24 of last year’s opener at Wheatland to win the
$10,000 prize. The 31-year-old is a two-time All Star champion, as well as a
multi-time USAC champ.
Aaron Reutzel: Hailing from Clute, Texas, the 35-year-old
has four Kubota High Limit Racing feature wins over the last two seasons,
including a trio of victories on the tour in 2025. His biggest triumph came
May 25th at Port Royal Speedway when he cashed $100,000 at the Bob Weikert
Memorial. Reuther is a former ASCS champion and is in his third full season
with Ridge & Sons Racing.
Rico Abreu: One of the most-popular drivers in open-wheel
racing, Abreu has a series-leading five High Limit Racing feature wins this
season and sits just 30 points behind Sweet for the series lead. In 2024,
the St. Helens, Calif., driver won eight High Limit Series features and
wound up third in the championship chase. The 33-year-old, who also has
driven in the NASCAR Truck Series won won the 2015 Chili Bowl, holds the
Lucas Oil Speedway track record with a lap of 12.829 set on June 29, 2024.
Brent Marks: The Murray-Marks Motorsports driver is fifth in
the points championship chase, just 35 behind Sweet. The Myerstown, Pa.,
driver has picked up two High Limit Series wins this season. The
34-year-old, nicknamed the “Myerstown Missile,” wound up fourth in the
series in 2024 with three feature wins, none bigger than Oct. 12’s $50,000
season finale at Texas Motor Speedway.
Three-day and two-day packages, as well as single-day
tickets, are available for purchase online. Lucas Oil Speedway also offers
Family Passes, Senior and Military pricing. Single-day or multi-day pit
passes can be purchased at both the ticket and pit offices at the track.

Paul Nienhiser Back In Victory Lane with Sprint Invaders
PETERSEN MEDIA Paul Nienhiser spent his weekend piloting Scott Bonar’s Midland Performance Inc. No. 50 entry with the Sprint Invaders, and following mechanical issues on Friday night, Nienhiser was back in victory lane on Sunday as he scored the win at Quincy Raceway.
“We had an engine issue since our last night out, and we were super thankful that Matt Kinney was able to bust his tail and get one of our older engines freshened in time for the weekend,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Unfortunately on Friday night we had issues with that engine and Ryan Lee was kind enough to lend us an engine for the rest of the weekend and we were able to pick up a win with it.”
Running in the fifth position in the feature event on Friday night at Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, MO, Nienhiser looked to be well on his way to a fifth place finish when something went south under the hood of his entry and he came to a stop as his night ended.
Discovering terminal issues to the team’s secondary engine back in the pits, Ryan Lee stepped in and offered up and engine for Nienhiser and company to use for Saturday and Sunday night racing action.
“Luckily, Zoom was able to make the trip to Cedar Rapids to grab the engine and get it to the shop so we could not miss a race, but as fate would have it Saturday night ended up getting cancelled and it gave us time to make sure everything was situated,” Nienhiser said.
Heading to Quincy Raceway on Sunday night, Nienhiser and team were greeted with a new track configuration that they adapted well to as the Chapin, IL driver advanced from the fourth starting position in his heat race and finished in the second position.
Locking into the Dash, the Chapin, IL driver picked up a third-place finish which put him in the second row for the impending feature event.
When the race came to life, Nienhiser quickly jumped into second as he closed in on the early race leader. Keeping pace with the leader as traffic came into play, Nienhiser was able to pounce in traffic as he raced to the lead on the 11th lap.
Once out in front, Nienhiser never looked back as he led the final 14 laps to claim his fifth feature event win of the season.
“Sunday night the car felt a ton better than it had been in our previous starts, and the track was in great shape,” Nienhiser said. “We had great speed and it felt great to get the team a win after how Friday went. Big thanks to Scott, Zoom, Travis, Zach, and Matt for their efforts in keeping the 50 on track, and of course a huge thank you to the Lee family for lending us an engine.”
Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Bayer, Dekalb/Asgrow, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, K1 Race Gear, and Super Shox for their support.
Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-13, Wins-5, Top 5’s-7, Top 10’s-9
ON TAP: Nienhiser will be back at Jacksonville Speedway on Friday night for action with MOWA.

Tanner Carrick 4th at Placerville Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for a night of weekly points racing at the famed ¼ mile bullring, Tanner Carrick charged from his seventh starting position and secured a fourth-place finish in the feature event.
“We were on the front row of our heat race and needed to win to make the redraw, but running second put us a little deeper in the field than we wanted to be,” Tanner Carrick said. “We were able to make up a few spots and ultimately ended up fourth.”
With 23 cars on hand at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Carrick timed the CVC/Cemex/California Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in seventh fastest in time trials after going out nearly last in the session.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Carrick was unable to get the initial jump as he settled into second. Chasing after Andy Forsberg, Carrick was unable to get around the defending track champion and his second-place finish put him in the fourth row for the 25-lap feature event.
Moving into sixth when the feature event came to life, an early restart saw the Lincoln, CA driver jump into fifth when the action resumed. Running well in fifth, Carrick worked his way into fourth when the field was shown the cross flags indicating they were at the halfway point of the race.
Once into fourth, Carrick began to battle the likes of Chance Grasty and Tony Gomes who ran just ahead of him on the slick surface.
Getting close to a podium spot on a couple of occasions, Carrick was unable to make any of his moves stick as he settled into fourth where he went on to finish.
“Track position is vital at Placerville Speedway, so not taking care of business in the heat race hurt,” Tanner Carrick said. “We had really good speed, it is just tough to come through the Top-5 at Placerville as its always a tough group.”
Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 29, Wins: 1, Top 5’s: 11, Top 10’s: 18
ON TAP: Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports team will be right back in action this Saturday night at Placerville Speedway.

Poirier Doubles Up On Weekend, Wins at Cornwall
By Curtis Berleue (Cornwall, ONT) | For the second time in as many nights,
Jordan Poirier found himself in Empire Super Sprints victory lane on Sunday
at Cornwall. Having now won 3 out of 5 contested ESS A-Mains, Poirier picked
up $2,000 for his efforts on a Sunday night close to his hometown.
Drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award was Davie Franek, who consequently led the
field to green for the 25 lap main event. Franek jumped out to an early lead
over 3rd-starting Joe Trenca and Bryan Cloutier.
As the laps clicked away, Franek maintained his lead over the field. Behind
him, Poirier was slowly but surely moving forward from his fourth starting
spot. By lap 9, he had moved into sole possession of third, and just two
laps later stole second, setting his sights on Franek.
As the field closed in on 10 laps to go, Poirier closed in on Franek. By lap
17, Poirier had gotten by Franek and never looked back, picking up his third
win of 2025.
“I was really, really bad at the beginning of the feature,” said Poirier. “I
was so tight, I knew the top was going to come in at some point it was just
a matter of at what point it would because the bottom was slicking off
pretty quickly.”
“When Jason passed me, I thought I might have lost that spot at the
beginning of the feature. But yeah, it feels good (to win), the car was
great and such an awesome crowd here.”
For the second night in a row, Jason Barney finished second.
“It was nice. That’s three races in a row behind the 28,” said Barney. I
hate getting used to that, but he’s doing a good job.”
“Starting tenth, I was just hoping to maintain to be honest, we caught a few
breaks on the restarts, being in the right place at the right time. My car
wasn’t perfect to start, so that really helped.”
Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third was Logan Crisafulli.
“Yeah, it was definitely hard. I thought I got Davie (for third) coming to
the white, but everyone’s telling me it was coming to the checkers.”
20 cars signed in for the second night of the Canadian swing for the Empire
Super Sprints, splitting the field into three timed hot lap groups.
Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Alex Therrien, Jordan Poirier
and Logan Crisafulli, while Elab Smokers Boutique heats were won by Davie
Franek, Jordan Poirier and Logan Crisafulli.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is the annual Central
NY Speedweek. Paying $2,500 to win each night, the week gets started on
Wednesday July 2 at the Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville. Thursday will see a
visit at the Utica-Rome Speedway, followed by Friday at Brewerton and
Saturday at Fulton. The week caps off with the finale on Sunday July 6 at
the Weedsport Speedway.

Paul Pokorski makes best of Plymouth IRA test
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 24, 2025 – Competing with the team’s 360 Sprint Car against a field of 410 Sprint Cars with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association, Paul Pokorski turned in a solid effort in a guest driving role during the Road America Challenge at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wi. on Saturday, June 21.
With his son, Alex, attending a wedding, Paul filled in behind the wheel of the No. 4 Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team 360 Sprint Car in IRA competition to mark his 33rd consecutive season in the driver’s seat of an open-wheel race car.
Paul opened the night by qualifying 24th in the 25-car field with a lap of 13.629 seconds around the 75-year-old semi-banked third-mile clay oval.
The West Bend, Wis. competitor finished eighth in the third eight-lap IRA heat race to earn the 24th starting spot in the evening’s 30-lap main event.
The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion drove a steady race and endured a pair of caution flags and one red flag period to advance five positions on the way to a 19th-place showing in the team’s eighth IRA event of the 2025 campaign.
“The goal for the night was to support the IRA, and have some fun,” Pokorski said. “I’d say we did that. The night went better than expected. The bonus was I got to get a feel for the car and what it feels like when it’s set up the way Alex likes to run it. I’d have to say it felt pretty good, but there are a few minor details that we will work on that I didn’t like. We will go over it in the shop this week. We’re looking forward to having Alex back next week at PDTR with the MSA.”
The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete with the Akright Auto 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 28. Team sponsor Pedal Down Promotions will serve as the presenting trophy sponsor for the evening.
Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

Dover Venturing to Brown County Speedway and Casino Speedway This Weekend
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 24, 2025) - Jack Dover has a pair of Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars races in South Dakota on tap this weekend.
The Tim Estenson Motorsports competitor will race on Friday at Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen and on Sunday at Casino Speedway in Watertown. It will mark his driving debut at both tracks.
"I need to have two really good nights," he said. "I haven't raced at either track, but I've been with Timmy (Estenson) racing. Brown County looks like it suits my style and Casino looks nearly identical to I-30 Speedway, where we had some success back when we were able to race there. I'm looking forward to this weekend."
Dover enters the weekend ranked fourth in the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars championship standings - only 18 points out of lead.
The team spent last week in South Dakota racing with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series at Huset's Speedway with more than 50 of the top drivers in the country.
Qualifying hampered Dover, who improved his results throughout the Huset's Hustle, maneuvering from 22 nd to 15 th during the Last Chance Showdown on Thursday. He continued to move forward the following two nights by advancing from 15 th to ninth on Friday and from 21 st to 17 th on Saturday during the Last Chance Showdown of the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards.
"We started off bad in qualifying and it seemed we got better and better," he said. "That's good, but also frustrating because we were in contention to win there a week and a half ago. The week had its ups and downs. There were a lot of great drivers who didn't make multiple features so that shows how tough it was."
QUICK RESULTS -
June 18 - Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D - Qualifying: 28; Heat race: 10 (10); C Main: 13 (15).
June 19 - Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D - Heat race: 7 (9); C Main: 4 (4); B Main: 15 (22).

Preston Lattomus Gears up for First Pennsylvania 410
Sprint Speedweek
Abbottstown, PA – June 24, 2025
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt
As Preston Lattomus readies himself for the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, he reflects on the progress and experiences he’s gained during his rookie season in a 410 sprint car.

DRIVEN
Looking back on the season so far, Preston notes that while he hasn’t reached his ideal performance level yet, the journey has been both challenging and rewarding. Racing in Pennsylvania, a region known for its tough, competitive sprint car environment, has been an eye-opener for him. Although he may not have hit every target, he understands that these experiences are essential steps toward becoming a more proficient driver.
“I know 410 racing in Pennsylvania is the hardest racing in the world, and it takes time to compete with the best,” Lattomus acknowledges.
Having previously taken part in speedweeks for micro sprints, Preston is no stranger to the demands of consecutive racing days. This experience has prepared him somewhat for the rigors of the upcoming Speedweek, though he notes that the stakes are higher and the competition is fiercer at the 410 level.
“Getting ready for Speedweek isn’t a completely new thing, but I realize it will be more races at a much higher level, and I am ready for it,” Lattomus remarked.
The ten days are seen as a beneficial chance to accumulate laps quickly and absorb the lessons each day offers.
Preston has outlined clear objectives for the upcoming Speedweek. His primary aim is to qualify for all of the A-main events and maximize learning opportunities. Qualifying will be a key to achieving that goal, and that is something he has already identified as an area needing improvement.
“I want to improve my qualifying efforts. That is critical for a lot of big races we run, so this is a good series to get a chance every day for ten days to work on it. My goals for Speedweek are to make all of the features and learn as much as possible, and that will all start with qualifying well.” Lattomus shared.
The series will also bring him to tracks that are new to him in a 410 sprint car, including Grandview, Selingsgrove, Hagerstown, and Path Valley.
“Racing at a lot of different tracks helps you grow as a driver. I want to apply what I’ve learned and give the team good runs at these new tracks.”, Lattomus added.
Preston’s drive to grow as a racer and learn from each experience underscores his commitment to the sport. He is approaching the upcoming series with optimism and sees it as a valuable opportunity for accelerating his development toward reaching the high level of performance he knows he is capable of.
At every other level of racing he has taken on, Lattomus has shown he knows how to learn and excel. This rookie season is step one in that journey in 410 sprint cars.
UP NEXT
Lattomus will enter competition on all ten nights of the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, beginning Friday, June 27th at Williams Grove Speedway.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Finish in Top Six All Four Nights of BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by Menards
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 24, 2025) - Big Game Motorsports was consistent throughout the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards last week at Huset's Speedway.
David Gravel drove to a fourth-place finish the first three nights before ending sixth during the $250,000-to-win finale on Saturday.
"I thought it was a solid week," he said. "We put ourselves in position each night for a shot at the win. Sadly, we didn't get any wins, but we were right there. We just weren't able to challenge for a first- or second-place finish. If it was the redraw not going our way or not being able to climb in the King of the Hill, we just needed a little better track position."
Gravel kicked off the four-day World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series spectacle last Wednesday when he opened the Huset's Hustle preliminary night by qualifying seventh quickest in his group. He then advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race and from sixth to fourth place in the A Main. That put him in a good points position for the $100,000-to-win finale on Thursday.
Gravel won a heat race to move into the King of the Hill, in which he placed fourth to line up on the outside of the second row in the main event. He battled for a spot on the podium throughout the race before ending fourth.
The team returned to the high-banked oval on Friday for the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards preliminary night, which played out similar to the Huset's Hustle prelim. Gravel was eighth quickest in his group during time trials and he maneuvered from fourth to third place in a heat race. He gained a position in the main event to finish fourth.
A heat race win earned a spot into the King of the Hill on Saturday. Gravel was fifth in it to start on the inside of the third row in the feature. He advanced to fourth and was in contention for a podium throughout the A Main before a couple of late passes relegated him to a sixth-place result - only the sixth time this season Gravel hasn't finished in the top five.
"I think the guys up front were really, really fast all week," he said. "We needed track position to challenge for wins. I don't think anybody charged to the front.
"It was so hot all week long. A lot of the fans waited until later in the day to come out. I think it was a successful event and them raising the purse next year is cool. Overall, they did a good job with the track. The F-16 flyover was a nice touch. Hopefully next year we get some nice weather for them. It'll keep building each year."
Next up for the team is the Independence Spectacular this Friday and Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. Gravel was victorious at the track in 2023.
"Cedar Lake is one of my favorite tracks we go to," he said. "They put dirt on it last year and that made it different than in years past. It'll be interesting to see what it's like this year."
Gravel enters with a 176-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.

410 SPRINT CARS ARE BACK!
THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 28
Although the 53rd Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup, Presented by Angel of the Winds Casino Resort, has come to a close, the racing action at Skagit Speedway is just heating up. The KarMART USA 410 Sprint Cars are back and ready to battle once again, joined by the Sportsman Sprint Cars and the Hornets.
Trey Starks was victorious over the weekend, taking home his first ever six-figure payday – $111,626.26 to be exact – during the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup feature on Saturday, June 21. Starks got the lead early on the third attempt to start the A-Main; however, he did not run away and hide. Lap traffic came quickly, forcing Starks to get to work while Tanner Holmes got set to track him down after passing James McFadden. Holmes bested Starks on lap 14, but after a red flag and a fuel stop on lap 17, Starks was able to get by a lap later. With traffic clearing relatively easy in front of Starks, the race was his as he cruised onto his first Dirt Cup win.
Starks has won three races this year in the 410 division and leads the driver's points with 750 total, 37 points ahead of second-place Jason Solwold and Justin Youngquist, who is 120 points behind first place in third. All three have raced in seven features at Skagit Speedway. Trey also has five top fives, and six top 10s.
The Sportsman Sprint Cars are back again after their doubleheader weekend leading into Dirt Cup. Macie Logsdon picked up her first Skagit Speedway win during the Saturday June 14 portion of the show, while Jayden Whitney picked up his first win on Father's Day Sunday – June 15. Logsdon inherited the lead after Alden Ostrom wrecked, and Jacobson, who was in second, had to swap out a flat rear tire. Macie went on to lead the rest of the race with little issue. On Sunday Whitney battled with Dana Glenn early but was able to get around him on lap four and ran away after that en route to his first win.
Whitney leads the points with 550, followed by second-place Jacobson, who is eight points back, and Logsdon in third, 56 points back. Through five features raced for all three of the drivers, Whitney is the only one to have a perfect five for five in top-five finishes. Jacobson has three top fives and four top 10s, while Logsdon has two top fives and four top 10s.
The Hornets also return this Saturday, following their appearance as part of the Sunday Father's Day show. Colin Smith led every lap of the shortened A-Main event due to cautions and a multi-car rollover. Howard Vos leads the Hornets in points with 228; second place is Raven Skaugrud, who is 18 points back, and 42 points behind is Braxton Housman in third. Both Vos and Skaugrud have yet to finish outside the top five in the two features that have been run so far.

Blackjack battles hard in four days at Huset’s; Wheatland, Knoxville on potential agenda
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (June 23, 2025) – Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing battled the best in the business during their extended weekend in South Dakota, not only qualifying for each of Huset’s Speedway’s Huset’s Hustle A-Mains, but racing on to qualify for each of the High Bank Nationals A-Mains, as well. Adding to the week-long luster, the four-day showcase offered big money, awarding a combined $390,000 to the winners alone.
“A decent weekend at Huset’s Speedway for our Casey’s | FVP team,” Brown said. “Very proud of our team for making all four of the week’s A-Mains. Definitely one of the toughest fields of cars that we’ll face all year long. We felt like we gained on some things and I was feeling better as the week went on. I still have some lingering effects from that crash at Knoxville, but I’m getting better and better as the days pass. Definitely on the right page there, despite not having the finishes that we wanted. But, we made the show all four nights and that’s something to be proud of."
As noted, Blackjack capped his four days at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, with four-straight A-Main appearances, finishing 15th and 22nd in the Huset’s Hustle preliminary and finale, respectively, followed by 22nd and 23rd-place finishes in the High Bank Nationals preliminary and finale, respectively. The talent was deep in the Mount Rushmore State, not only featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, but all of the stars and cars from High Limit Racing.
“We’re going to take some time at home, get some things rebuilt and see where we are later in the week,” Brown added. “We plan to be at Lucas Oil on Thursday and Friday then back at Knoxville on Saturday. Knoxville is for certain. We’ll just kinda have to see where things go weather-wise and everything else before we make a decision for Thursday and Friday.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with
three events, potentially kicking things off with High Limit Racing at Lucas
Oil Speedway on Thursday and Friday, June 26-27. Brown’s weekend will
conclude with action at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday,

Starks Achieves Dream by Capturing First Career Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - ALGER, Wash. (June 23, 2025) - Trey Starks has produced numerous championships and special wins throughout his racing career, but nothing stands above the moment that arrived last Saturday night at Skagit Speedway.
Starks earned his first career Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup triumph, garnering more than $111,000 that encompassed race winnings and lap money during the final night of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series sanctioned crown jewel.
"A sigh of relief is a great way to explain it," he said. "We've had years in the past we've been really fast, but not able to put three nights together. That was our main focus this year. We have good speed. We knew we had to start off the prelim nights strong, build points and set ourselves up for the final night."
Starks did just that. He set quick time out of the nearly 50 competitors on Thursday during the opening preliminary night. A run from eighth to third place in a heat race and from 16 th to 11 th in the main event put him as the high-points driver.
"We had great speed," he said. "We moved forward in the feature. We didn't set the world on fire. It's really tempting to try to drive through the field as hard as you can, but years of DNFs and problems when we tried too hard got us in bad positions. We reserved a little on the prelim nights in the feature, knowing you just need to make enough points to be toward that top four in overall points. You still have to move forward, but take a little less risk."
Starks was fifth quickest in qualifying on Friday. He maneuvered from eighth to fifth place in a heat race and from 12 th to sixth place in the main event.
"We were high points the first night and high points overall after the two preliminary nights," he said. "We did everything we needed to do to set ourselves up and we did everything we needed to do to execute on the final night. It's really rewarding when you stick to a plan and it works out. The multiple-day events contradict what sprint car racing is about, which is driving as hard as you can for every lap and leaving it all out there. So it's nice to show we can factor in finesse and do things with a purpose and execute."
Starks won the final round of the pole shuffle on Saturday to garner the Dick Wilskey Pole Award for the 40-lap main event.
"The weather was a big factor all weekend," he said. "We beat the rain just in time on Friday. It rained up until 11 or 12 Saturday afternoon. They were scrambling with the track and did a really good job. When we rolled out for the feature there was a heavy fog rolling in. You started to feel the moisture in the air. I think between the time we got everything set and pushed on the track and then doing driver intros, I think the air, the humidity, changed.
"On the start, the motor wasn't quite running how I'd like it to. It was running smooth, but I could feel it was down on power. The moisture in the air brought moisture into the track, which had a lot of grip. When we first got to traffic the best way to describe it was overwhelming with a wall of three or four cars across the track. I just had to wait for an opening. We picked our way through traffic and the motor was still feeling lazy. I was really careful of where I put my car.
"Somewhere along the way I saw Tanner (Holmes) on the inside. At that point I wasn't really that worried because I knew how boxed in we were in traffic. He ended up getting by on Lap 14 and led a couple of laps. When the red came out and it became an open red it was a relief because I knew we could work on it. I said to my crew, 'Don't worry about the race car. We need to change some of the fuel settings to get this thing running right.' We changed the fuel settings to lean it out and I think that was the main difference. We took back off and the motor ran like it should. We hung with him and paced him for a lap and a half or so. He left the door open and I knew it was time to execute and pull the trigger. I try to pride myself - even racing for $100,000 - I'm not going to run over somebody. I put pressure on Tanner, but I left him a lane. I was able to finish it off going into turns one and two. From there I told myself I have to be aggressive in traffic because I can't give him another shot. I tried to watch traffic several laps out and make concise decisions to not lose speed."
Starks, who led the first 13 laps, reclaimed the top spot on Lap 18 and led the distance for his sixth triumph of the season.
"It was rewarding in the feature to have to battle back and take that one back away," he said. "Not that it would have changed anything, but it was more rewarding than jumping to the lead early and leading every lap. It was a good race for the fans with some back and forth. We had a little drama with the open red when we had to make some changes. Just a really rewarding weekend I'd say.
"It speaks volumes to how our team operates. It's not very often you hear of people making fuel adjustments under an open red. I knew our car was okay. If we could get our motor running the way it should we'd be fine. It was nice to know we could pivot and execute in those two minutes of the open red."
Starks will return to Skagit Speedway this Saturday for a regular points show. He enters the event holding a 37-point lead in the championship standings.

Mallett Rallies for Top 10 at Batesville Motor Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - LOCUST GROVE, Ark. (June 23, 2025) - Jordon Mallett recorded his seventh top-10 finish in his eighth start of the season last Saturday at Batesville Motor Speedway.
"The results don't show the amount of effort put in," he said. "We got our teeth kicked in early in the night. We qualified horrible. We had the wrong gear in the car and it just wasn't good. I thought we'd time in really well there and I just made a bad call on gearing and that put us behind the eight ball early."
Mallett opened the ASCS National Tour event by qualifying sixth quickest in his group. He then finished where he started - sixth - in a heat race.
"We had a hole to dig out of and the heat race wasn't much better," he said. "You start that deep and the track was still fast enough, it immediately got strung out and was single file. That put us in the nosebleed seats for the feature."
Mallett lined up on the inside of the ninth row for the main event. His charge from 17 th to 10 th garnered his fifth top 10 of the season with the ASCS National Tour, which is tied for the third most.
"We recovered fine in the feature," he said. "I made a bunch of changes since Texarkana and feel I have the car how I like. I was able to move around. We could run the top, run the bottom, through the middle. The track started taking rubber about eight or nine laps in. That was disappointing because I felt like we were moving pretty good and could have gotten further up the running order. Overall, we were able to dig out of a hole and take a bad night and turn it into a salvageable night."
Next up is a trip to Tulsa Speedway in Tulsa, Okla., this Friday and Saturday for the Dirt Down in T-Town with the ASCS National Tour. Mallett's career-best result at the track was a fifth-place showing in 2022.
"I think I've been there twice," he said. "I don't have a lot of expectations. I've watched a few races there and I've seen it all over the board. I've seen it rough and I've seen it take rubber. We went there for a doubleheader last year. The first night we weren't very good and finished 18th. We were way better the second night and made the dash, but the program was rained out."
Mallett enters this weekend ranked sixth in the ASCS National Tour championship standings - only 13 points out of the top five.

Kaleb Johnson Takes Positives Out of Busy Week at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 23, 2025) - Kaleb Johnson's week at Huset's Speedway was up and down with a solid showing during the Huset's Hustle followed by a frustrating outing throughout the final two nights of the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards.
"The first two nights were pretty encouraging and the last two nights were disappointing, but that's racing," the Team DGRD driver said.
Johnson was third quickest in his group to kick off the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series action on Wednesday during the Huset's Hustle preliminary night. He finished where he started - sixth - in a heat race before rallying from seventh to third place in the Last Chance Showdown. The night concluded with a 21st-place finish in the main event.
"It was good to show speed early," he said. "We knew it'd be tough in the heat race. Not going anywhere set us back, but we showed speed in the Last Chance Showdown. We were able to transfer and make the show. Unfortunately, we got into an incident on Lap 1 and it messed up the nose wing. I was holding on from that point on."
Johnson was battling for a lock-in position into the feature during the heat race on Thursday when he was caught up in an incident, spinning him sideways. He restarted at the back and worked up to fifth place before the checkered flag was waved. Once again, Johnson was strong in the Last Chance Showdown as he maneuvered from 11 th to sixth. He gained four positions in the A Main to place 20th.
"I thought the race track was awesome," he said. "We had a shot to transfer through the heat, but some circumstances didn't go our way. We were able to make it back to fifth. Then I was able to pick my way through the Last Chance Showdown and get the last transfer. In the feature, my goal was to not get lapped and work forward. We did that until the very end. It was good to show speed against that talented field."
Johnson moved forward almost every time he was on the track throughout the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards races on Friday and Saturday, but qualifying 24 th in his group on Friday buried him.
"We had a plan to go out and rip the bottom in qualifying and it wasn't the right move," he said. "Plus, we were too tight and that set us back for the next two nights. It hurt us in points for Saturday and the track was difficult to move forward on."
Johnson advanced from eighth to sixth place in a heat race, won the C Main and charged from 21 st to 10 th in the Last Chance Showdown on Friday. On Saturday, he placed seventh in a heat race before maneuvering from third to second place in the C Main and from 20 th to 19 th in the Last Chance Showdown.
Johnson plans to race this Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, where he has produced five top 10s this season. He ranks ninth in the track's championship standings despite missing a race.
"I'm looking forward to it," he said. "We had some speed the last time we were there. Hopefully we can lay down a good qualifying lap to set us up for the rest of the night."
QUICK RESULTS -
June 18 - Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D - Qualifying: 3; Heat race: 6 (6); B Main: 3 (7); Feature: 21 (23).

James McFadden Third at Super Dirt Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA- Following an extremely successful NARC Speedweek, James McFadden and the Tarlton Motorsports team went through a bit of adversity during the Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway, but in the end the team landed on the podium and finished third in the Saturday night finale.
With the Super Dirt Cup kicking off on Thursday night, McFadden got off to a tricky start as he timed the Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales backed No. 21 in 26th fastest in time trials.
Predicated on event points all week long, McFadden lined up in the second row of his heat race where his second place finish put him on the front row of the night’s ‘B’ Main once heat and qualifying points were tallied.
Getting the jump in the ‘B’, JMAC was able to race his way to the win and punch his ticket into the feature event where he lined the Tarlton Motorsports entry up in the 21st starting position.
Slowly working his way forward as he used the bottom groove of the track, McFadden and another car got together and it resulted in him getting upside down and being forced to the work area on the fifth lap.
Getting what they could repaired and getting McFadden back on track to try and obtain as many points as possible with a very battered car, McFadden restarted the race but got upside down for a second time on the 15th lap and brought his night to a close.
Pulling down a spare car and getting everything in order for the second night of action, McFadden got off to a better start as he timed in 14th fastest in qualifying time trials before charging from sixth to third in his heat race.
A much better point total on this night lined the Australian National Titlist up in the second row of the 30-lap feature event.
Getting a great jump when the green flag flew, McFadden powered his way into second and quickly began his pursuit of Jason Solwold. On the seventh lap, Solwold got tight in turns three and four, and McFadden was there to pounce as he powered into the lead and looked very strong out front.
Setting a very solid pace, McFadden’s lead was getting cut into in the closing laps and Solwold made the bottom groove work.
Getting into traffic, a late restart allowed McFadden to take Solwold’s line away but behind the lead duo’s battle third running Justin Sanders was building momentum.
As McFadden got away from Solwold, Sanders was able to move into second with just two laps left in the race and was closing quickly.
On the race’s final lap, Sanders was able to get around McFadden in turns one and two, and unable to answer in three and four McFadden settled for a second place finish.
Sitting 15th in points after two night’s, McFadden and company returned to the Super Dirt Cup finale on Saturday night still with an opportunity to lock into the Dash as he started third in his qualifier.
When his qualifier hit the track, each of the front row starters botched the start and ultimately J-Mac found himself on the front row.
Getting the jump over Sye Lynch, McFadden went on to lead every lap and not only punch his ticket into the 40-lap feature event it also locked him into the pole shuffle and guaranteed himself a top-eight starting position.
Pulling the seven, McFadden went on quite the rampage in the shuffle. Winning each battle, McFadden advanced to the final where he took on Trey Starks for the right to lead the field to green, only to run out of fuel coming to the green.
Lining up on the front row of the $100,026.26-to-win feature event, McFadden slipped to third when the race came to life as he chased after Trey Starks and Tanner Holmes.
In a fast paced feature event on a very fast surface, McFadden was able to close in on the lead duo a few times in traffic, but could never get close enough to make a bid for the top spot.
When the checkered flag flew on the race, McFadden capped the week off on the podium as he finished third.
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.

Joel Myers Jr Nets Trio of Top-10’s at Super Dirt Cup
PETERSEN MEDIA: Reuniting with Willie Kahne to compete in the Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway, the team had a very solid week that featured top ten finishes in all three feature events, including a fifth place run during Friday’s preliminary night feature.
“We had a very solid week at Skagit Speedway, and it was great working with Willie and Kale Kahne with Dyllan helping as well,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We were in a good spot all week long and ended up with my best Dirt Cup finish.”
Timing in 17th fastest in Thursday night’s opening qualifying session, the Sebastopol, CA driver lined the Factory Kahne/Dirt Dudes Excavating/Durst backed No. 4 up in the third row of his heat race. Picking up a sixth-place finish after going to the back on the initial start, Myers Jr just narrowly missed out on the pole of the feature event as he then lined up 17th in the feature.
When the race went green, Myers Jr was able race his way forward and pick up valuable event points with each car he passed. Racing into the Top-10, Myers Jr got up to eighth by the time the checkered flag few on the opening night feature event.
Back to the track on Friday night looking to gather up more points before Saturday’s finale, Myers Jr timed in 12th fastest on this night and again lined up in the third row of his heat race.
With no issues on the start of the race on this night, the Sebastopol, CA driver worked his way forward and continued his strong Friday night by securing a third place finish and again locking directly into the feature event.
Gridding the field from the fourth row, Myers Jr was able to work into fifth on the fifth lap, and was up into fourth on the seventh lap where he ran until the 16th stanza.
Falling back to fifth, he was able to keep his mount inside the Top-5 as he took the checkered flag in fifth and sat 9thoverall in event points heading into Saturday night’s Super Dirt Cup finale.
Lining up on the front row of his Saturday night qualifier, Myers Jr simply needed to finish inside the Top-4 to transfer into the feature event. While a win would put him in the Dash, Myers Jr battled hard with Scott Bogucki but was unable to take the top spot from him. Finishing in second, Myers Jr secured the ninth starting position in the 40-lap Super Dirt Cup ‘A’.
The feature event didn’t see a ton of passing amidst the front runners as the track had a ton of speed in it. With a couple of lane choices, the leaders remained even in speeds no matter which line they used. Keep his car inside the Top-10 all race long, Myers Jr capped the busy weekend off with an eighth place finish.
“We were in a good spot all week long, and that is a testament to how well this team prepared, and how good the car was all week,” Myers Jr said. “Super thankful to Willie Kahne for the opportunity, and I look forward to hopefully racing with him again.”

Tony Gomes 2nd at Placerville
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to weekly action at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night as the track’s most recent winner, Tony Gomes made a charge towards his second consecutive win but ultimately finished in the runner up spot.
“We had really good car speed again at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, I just couldn’t quite make a move stick to get the win,” Tony Gomes said. “We really have been good and I hope we can continue that this week on King’s Meat night.”
With 23 cars in the pit area on what was Fan Appreciation night at the track, Gomes timed the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c entry in sixth fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Gomes took care of the task at hand as he powered the win, which was vital as it placed him in the nightly redraw to determine the first four row of the feature event starting line up.
Pulling the five pill, Gomes rolled off the starting grid from the inside of the third row to kick off the 25-lapper. When the feature event went green, the Modesto, CA driver took the fourth spot where he settled in for the opening laps.
As the laps clicked off, Gomes started to pick his spots as he used a restart on the 9th lap to move into second before making a bid for the top spot on the 10th lap.
Making a move to slide up in front of Andy Forsberg, Gomes was unable to clear his competitor as he settled back into second and kept him in his sights.
A late restart saw Gomes give up the second position briefly as he fell back to third, but in the closing laps he was able to move back into the runner up position where he went on to finish.
“It is great to get Cody and Mandi another top finish at Placerville Speedway and I really appreciate them continuing to support my racing efforts,” Gomes said. “I also want to thank Cody, Bobby, John, Cody Cook, and Christopher Bouchard for their hard work in the pits all night long.”
The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, MatriScope, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Tony Gomes are right back to it this week at Placerville Speedway.
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-14, Wins-1, Top 5’s-6, Top 10’s-7

Andy Forsberg Back In Placerville Speedway Victory Lane
PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for Fan Appreciation night on one week removed from victory getting snatched from his grasp at Petaluma Speedway, Andy Forsberg was not to be denied as he wired the field and scored his sixth win of the season.
“I have to give big props to RMI because he always seems to pull a rabbit out of his hat with the track the week after the El Dorado County fair, and Saturday night was no different,” Forsberg said. “Mix a great track with a packed grandstands and it was a really good night.”
With 23 cars on hand Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Forsberg was the first car to hit the track for time trials and laid down a very strong lap he ended up fourth quick aboard the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver was hard on the throttle as the race came to life and he powered to the lead. Keeping the field at bay, Forsberg picked up the win and earned a spot in the all important redraw.
With a little luck on his side, Forsberg drew the two and was on the front row of the feature event alongside last week’s winner, Chance Grasty.
When the race went green, Forsberg actually slipped back to second officially before taking command of the race on the second lap. Out in front, the Auburn, CA driver was very strong on the slick quarter-mile bullring.
Keeping the field at bay, Forsberg was able to cruise to his sixth win of the season by nearly a 1.5 second advantage over second place.
“My team has really been working to get us faster and faster on the slick surface and Saturday it felt really good,” Forsberg said. “Thanks to the crew, Paul (car owner) and all of our sponsors for making this all possible.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races-23, Wins-6, Top 5’s-14, Top 10’s-17
ON TAP: Andy Forsberg and the PHR team will return to action on Saturday night for Fan Appreciation night in Placerville, CA.

Tyler Ross Scores Runner-up Finish in Steve Smith Tribute, Heads Into PA
Speedweek With Momentum
By mraddicted2dirt on Jun 23, 2025 03:08 pm
Abbottstown, PA – June 23, 2025

Tyler Ross has had good speed all season long, but hasn’t been able to put a full night together and show the results his team is capable of.
Most race nights this season have followed one of two paths. He has been good early, then stumbled late. He has struggled early, then shone late.
Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway’s Steve Smith Tribute and Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek tune-up, Ross forged a new path. He and his team were good from qualifying through the final checkered flag.
QUICK RESULTS:
Date/Location: June 21, 2025 / Lincoln Speedway,
Abbottstown, PA
Event: Steve Smith Tribute
Stats: Qualifying 5th, Heat 3rd (1), A-main 2nd (8)
MINOR HICCUP
Ross hit the track about halfway through the qualifying order and laid down a lap that was good enough for 4th quickest at the time, and it held up pretty well. He ended up 5th quickest overall.
The only hiccup for Ross Saturday night was finishing 3rd in his heat race after starting on the pole.
“We just missed it a little bit, and I wasn’t able to get the start I needed.”, Ross explained.
“Fortunately, I was able to at least battle back to 3rd and keep us in a decent position for the feature.”
CONFIDENCE BOOSTER
Ross started 8th in the 35-lap main event that honored Steve Smith, winner of 150 sprint car races and nine track championships at Lincoln Speedway, including six consecutive titles in the 1970s at Lincoln Speedway.
As he has done often this season, Ross went forward. He quickly cracked the top five on lap three.
Ross hung around 4th and 5th for the bulk of the race until a late-race restart with ten laps remaining provided a great opportunity to get more. He charged from 4th into the runner-up spot in one corner and went on to hold off numerous challenges from Ryan Newton.
Ross tried to chase down leader Troy Wagaman Jr., but the gap was too much to close under green flag conditions. He went on to secure the 2nd-place finish, his first podium of the season.
“I wish we had not missed it in the heat. Feel like if we could have started a row or two better in the feature, we might have had something for Troy.”, Ross shared.
“We’ll certainly take a second, though. We’ve had speed all year, but we had not been able to put a full night together and reach the podium until tonight. Feels good to see all the hard work my team has put in paying off.”
“It’s going to be a busy week coming up. I’m really happy to have some type of confidence going into it.”
Ross now sits 5th in Lincoln Speedway’s 2025 championship points standings.
UP NEXT
Ross has firmed up plans for at least four PA Sprint Speedweek races. He will enter races two through five of the ten-race series: Lincoln Speedway (6/28 & 6/30), BAPS Motor Speedway (6/29), and Grandview Speedway (7/1).
The team is still evaluating its options for the second half of the series. They will share those plans when the decision is finalized.

Zearfoss with speed in Ohio and Pennsylvania; Berkebile Oil Open House
and Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek ahead
ByTyler Altmeyer
June 23, 2025
JONESTOWN, Pa. (June 23, 2025) – It was a busy week for Jonestown, Pennsylvania’s Brock Zearfoss, not only taking the time to visit the Buckeye State for select rounds of Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions, but the “Jonestown Jet” returned home in time to rejoin Eichelberger Racing for routine starts at Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway.
When the dust settled, Zearfoss had multiple top-fives and top-tens in two states, highlighting all action with a runner-up performance at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on June 17. The former Port Royal Speedway track champion started fifth on Eldora’s Ohio Sprint Speedweek grid, qualifying second in his group before racing on to finish second in his heat.
In addition, Zearfoss, backed by Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., Lobar Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, Milton Hershey School, Tech61, Berkebile Oil Company, and Blue Mountain Wellness, earned fifth-place finishes at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio, on Monday, June 16, and Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, on Friday, June 20, as well as a ninth-place finish at Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, June 21.
“That was fun,” Zearfoss was quick to note. “Getting to turn some laps at Eldora Speedway is always important and we wanted to capitalize on that opportunity. We’ll be back in a few weeks for Kings Royal week, so to have some notes handy will definitely be an advantage.
“We want to invite everyone out to Berkebile Oil on Wednesday, June 25, for their Open House,” Zearfoss added. “They’re not only a great partner of mine, they make incredible products, and we hope everyone can make it out and get a closer look at their operation. We plan to be there most of the day, so swing on out and say hello.”

(June 23, 2025) – Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing are the kings of Ohio, in some respect, not only earning Atomic Speedway’s coveted Dean Knittel Memorial to close out the 2025 edition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek on June 21, but the $26,554 victory clinched the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, ace the overall Ohio Sprint Speedweek title, earning another $10,000 for said feat – the first of Dietrich’s storied open wheel career.
After some early week interference from Mother Nature, Dietrich, driver of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Speedway Volkswagen & Subaru, Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance, C&M Motorsports, Drop of Ink Tattoo, RLR Trucking, Blud Lubricants, No. 48 sprint car, raced on to earn four top-fives in the six events contested with each of the top-fives ending on the podium; third at Wayne County Speedway, second at Waynesfield Raceway Park, third at Moler Raceway Park, and first at Atomic Speedway – the aforementioned Dean Knittel Memorial.
In addition, “Double-D” finished 13th at Millstream Speedway and sixth at Eldora Speedway. Dietrich’s Eldora outcome was the result of a ten-spot charge from 16th, earning the evening’s Hard Charger Award.
“Just a total-team effort…can’t say enough about everyone at Gary Kauffman Racing, especially Gary who allowed us the opportunity to go out and race. Ohio Speedweek is always on our list, so to finally earn a Speedweek championship is pretty special,” Danny Dietrich said. “The only thing we can do now is go out and work toward a Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek championship. To earn both titles in one year would be nothing short of incredible.”

Brent Sexton Has Dream Trip to Indiana
Lakeside, CA – June 19, 2025 — Brent Sexton of Lakeside, California, lived out a lifelong dream earlier this month when he traveled to Indiana to compete in the Sprint Car portion of Indiana Midget Week. The three-time Lightning Sprint Car champion was geared up to compete six nights in a row. However, Mother Nature had other plans, and the veteran racer was only able to race three times due to rain.
Sexton and the traveling Sexton Gatlin Racing crew kicked off their Indiana campaign at Circle City Raceway, just minutes from the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway on June 3rd. There, Sexton faced the toughest field of competitors in his sprint car career. Still, the seasoned driver wasn’t fazed in the slightest.
After qualifying seventh in his group, he lined up in the same spot for his heat race. Early on, he ran near the back but quickly found speed on the low line, advancing to fifth and nearly grabbing the final transfer spot before running out of laps.
In the 17-car, 12-lap B Main, Sexton started fourth—thanks to his heat race performance—and held his ground, using the bottom groove to move up to third and secure a coveted transfer into the A Main. For a driver who only began racing full-sized sprint cars two years ago, transferring into the main event against such a stacked field was a significant achievement.
Starting 19th in the feature due to his qualifying time, Sexton again relied on the low line and charged forward to finish 14th. Only two other drivers passed more cars than the Tennessee native in the 25-lap main event.
Twenty-four hours later, Sexton and the beautiful #42 car made the short trip to Paragon Speedway. Buoyed by his strong showing at Circle City, he was ready to take on another unfamiliar track. Qualifying didn’t go in his favor, however, as he timed in ninth in his group and started deep in his heat. He managed to pass one car, placing him in a tough spot for the 22-car B Main.
Starting 16th, Sexton again went to work on the bottom, advancing five positions to finish 11th. Unfortunately, time ran out, and he didn’t make the A Main. On the bright side, only four drivers improved their positions more in the B.
The following night at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, racing was canceled due to rain. Unfortunately, the wet weather lingered, washing out the next two nights of competition at Bloomington and Tri-State Speedway.
Fortunately, the rain vacated the area by Sunday night, and Sexton was able to compete at the legendary Kokomo Speedway—a track he had looked forward to racing on the most. He qualified seventh in his group of 10 and finished eighth in both his heat race and the B Main. Though he didn’t make the A, just getting the chance to compete at Kokomo was another highlight of the trip.
Aside from the rain and some motorhome issues on the return trip, the week was a memorable one for the entire Sexton Gatlin Racing team.
While most of the team was in Indiana, SGR teammate Braydin Collie had a stellar outing with the California Lightning Sprint Cars at Bakersfield Speedway on June 7th. After qualifying seventh, the El Cajon, California teenager won his eight-lap heat race. Starting sixth in the feature, he charged to the front and even led momentarily in a thrilling mid-race battle. He eventually finished third—his best result of the year.
Sexton Gatlin Racing has a big announcement on the horizon. Details will be revealed in the next week to 10 days.
For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for their results throughout the 2025 season.
Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

Brody Roa Returns to Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Cypress, CA – June 19, 2025 — After a brief break from
competition, veteran Southern California sprint car star Brody Roa is set to
return to action this Saturday, June 21, when the Avanti Windows and Doors
USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series makes its latest stop at its home track, Perris
Auto Speedway. It will mark Roa’s first race since competing with the
Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Bakersfield Speedway on June 7.
Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Champion, made headlines last year with back-to-back USCS wins on the old Bakersfield Speedway. But the June 7 event brought a new twist—while the track was still called Bakersfield Speedway, it had undergone major changes. Over the winter, the original facility was relocated to Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway complex, on the opposite side of town.
The shift didn’t just involve a change in venue. The track surface was reconfigured between turns two and three over the winter, presenting drivers with an unfamiliar challenge. Except for a couple of rainouts, Roa was racing a complete show there for the first time since October 15, 2022. Thus, it was essentially a new track for him.
Despite the learning curve, the Garden Grove, California native showed his typical consistency. He qualified fifth in his group and finished second in his heat race. Driving his striking #91R, Roa started 10th in the main event and maneuvered through tricky conditions to secure a solid seventh-place finish. That run gave him five top-10 finishes in six starts so far in 2025.
Roa’s most recent outing at Perris came during the prestigious Salute to Indy on Memorial Day weekend, where he finished eighth. He previously captured the event title in 2021.
With a more relaxed schedule in 2025, Roa is savoring the opportunity to race at select events like Saturday’s showdown at Perris, where he remains a fan favorite and perennial threat to win.
Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m., and the first green flag will wave at 7:00. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com
Ticket Information
13 and over: $35
Kids (6-12): $10
Children 5 and under: FREE
Fairgrounds Parking: $20
Advance tickets for Saturday’s race and all PAS events are available at tix.com.
For more information on Brody Roa, follow Brody Roa Racing - BR Performance on Facebook or visit www.brodyroa.com
Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to His Home Track, Perris Auto Speedway, This Saturday
Chino, CA – June 19, 2025 — Popular sprint car racer Eddie
Tafoya Jr. will return to action this Saturday night, June 21st, when the
Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits Perris Auto
Speedway. The historic half-mile clay oval in Riverside County is considered
the home track for both the 21-year-old series and the Chino Hills,
California native.
Saturday’s event was originally scheduled to be Tafoya’s sixth series appearance of the year at Perris. However, two events earlier in the season were canceled due to rain. That means this weekend marks just the fourth 2025 outing at the track, located less than 30 minutes from Tafoya’s home.
Tafoya, who drives the eye-catching #51T sprint car, recorded his best Perris finish of the year on April 5th when he placed eighth. He backed that up with a solid ninth-place run in the prestigious Salute to Indy on May 24th. His top finish overall in the USAC/CRA Series so far this year came at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, where he finished fifth.
Saturday’s race will be Tafoya’s 14th start of the 2025 season, spanning the USAC/CRA Series, the USAC National Sprint Car Series, and the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. His most recent appearance came two weeks ago when the Ultimate Series competed at Bakersfield Speedway. Tafoya recorded another top 10 finish when he placed ninth that night.
Though Tafoya is not chasing points full-time in 2025, he has entered six of the first nine USAC/CRA races. Despite missing three events, he still sits 15th in the championship standings — a testament to his consistency and competitive performances.
To see Tafoya in person on Saturday, spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the first green flag will wave at 7:00. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com
Ticket Information
13 and over: $35
Kids (6-12): $10

Fairgrounds Parking: $20
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris.
Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51.
Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

CRSA SET TO PUSH OFF AT FULTON FOR FIRST TIME
Press Release By: Marty Czekala – June 18, 2025
It's a new week for the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints and "The Future Stars of Sprint Cars" are set to head to a new track.
The high banks of Fulton Speedway play host to the 305 Sprint Cars for round three of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. It is the first of two new tracks on the CRSA Sprints schedule for its 20th Anniversary. With this, the 3/8 oval becomes the 27th track to host a CRSA event.
Here’s a look at the news and notes.
Last Week: CRSA made its lone appearance at Utica-Rome Speedway for round two of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
Zach Sobotka started from the pole and led every lap to hold off Dillon Paddock for his first career feature win to become the 85th different winner in series history.
The win comes nearly 260 days after Sobotka took the checkered flag first at the same track before coming up a few pounds light on the scales.
“Feels good to go through the scales,” Sobotka said in victory lane. “Last year was a little bit of a bummer. I could tell [Paddock] was on top and I almost went up there going under the white. I led all 24 laps on the bottom down there, might as well try and get 25.”
Dillon Paddock scored his fourth straight podium in second, while Darryl Ruggles finished third, his best finish since last July.
Point Standings: With his win last Friday, Sobotka is now the new points leader following five races. In fact, the No. 38 remains the only car to finish in the top five in all races this season.
With four straight podiums leading to an average finish of second in the last four races, Dillon Paddock jumped up to second, 12 points behind Sobotka.
After a tough 14th-place finish following contact early in last Friday's feature, Jordan Hutton lost the points lead and fell back to third, 19 markers back on Sobotka.
After his fifth top 10 of the season, Dalton Herrick is 47 points behind in fourth.
With a P6 last week, Alysha Bay jumped to fifth in points, 79 back on Sobotka.
The rest of the top 12 looks like this: Spencer Burley is sixth (-82), Scott Landers is seventh (-84), Tomy Moreau is eighth (-90), Timmy Lotz is ninth (-94), and Darryl Ruggles is 10th (-129). Vince Chicklets 11th (-155) and Bailey Boyd 12th (-157).
Who to Watch: Since this is the first time CRSA has run Fulton, it’s tough to tell who has experience unless you’ve run a 360 Sprint.
Last season, the Empire Super Sprints ran two events on the high banks. On July 6, Billy VanInwegen finished fourth, Johnny Smith scored a fifth, Tyler Graves 13th and Jordan Hutton 14th. Emily VanInwegen gained track time but didn’t make the show.
Aug. 31, Johnny Smith finished second, Billy VanInwegen fourth, Jordan Hutton 17th, Dalton Herrick 19th and Emily VanInwegen 21st.
At least six CRSA drivers have gained track time in the past and have some sort of notebook they can use to their advantage.
Due Up For A Series Win: Jordan Hutton has shown strength and speed in his No. 66 from two seconds to two Elab Smokers Boutique Scramble Dash wins.
Last Friday, following contact early in the race, the driver of the No. 66 left Utica-Rome Speedway disappointed, finishing 14th.
Forgetting about the result, Hutton's crew went to work to fix the problem and the following night, "J-Hutt" won a weekly show at Land of Legends Raceway.
The result showed that the team is still capable of a series win, which could come as soon as this weekend at a track he has experience within a 360.
Loyalty Giveaways: This race is round two of the Triple X chassis giveaway. The 48 drivers who entered Weedsport who come to Fulton will remain eligible for the drawing. After Fulton, two races remain for the prize: Weedsport July 26 and Brewerton August 22.
From the Frontman: “Saturday is going to be exciting to head to a new track that the series has never been to. A big shoutout to the Wights plus Cory Reed for having us here after a successful night at their sister track, Brewerton, last year. The high bankings make the exit of the corners interesting in which drivers decide to choose. It will be a challenge for many drivers this weekend! ” ~ Mike Emhof
From the Track GM: “We’ve always felt Fulton is more of a track for the sprints. The way they run at Fulton, they carry a lot more speed. We get a lot of 360s; I think we’ll get the same for 305s.” ~ Cory Reed
Up Next: CRSA takes the weekend of June 28 off and then returns for the first Independence Day Triple Play at Land of Legends Raceway July 3, Ransomville Speedway July 4, and Land of Legends July 5 for the Jason Quigley Memorial. The two LOLR shows will be part of the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge.
Both LOLR shows can be seen on DIRTVision and July 5 can also be seen on Land of Legends TV. Ransomville's show can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV.

Perris Auto Speedway
PERRIS, CA (June 18, 2025) —
PASSCAR Stock Car Racing returns to Perris Auto Speedway
this Saturday night, June 21st, when the popular Super Stocks and Street
Stocks join the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars for a
tripleheader show on the famous half-mile clay oval. It will mark the second
appearance of the season for the Super Stocks and the third for the Street
Stocks.
So far this year, Mother Nature has been the biggest winner in the Super Stock class. Inclement weather has wiped out two events, making Saturday’s race just the second for the division in 2025. The only appearance of the supers thus far this year came 2 ½ months ago on April 5th, when Riverside’s Tyson Talkington edged out Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker in a competitive 20-lap main event. Thanks to Becker’s stronger performance in the preliminary heat races that night, the two drivers enter Saturday’s showdown tied atop the championship point standings.
Despite his impressive showing in April, Talkington—a 38-year-old father of two and the 2022 Super Stock champion at The PAS, probably will not be a factor for the title this year. He currently oversees the kids racing classes at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway, which sometimes has conflicts with the PAS schedule. That commitment will keep him from running a full season at Perris.
“We are going to bring the Super Stock out and I am going to be doing double duty in a Street Stock on Saturday as well,” Talkington said while prepping his cars on Tuesday. “I run the kids' program at Mohave, and when they race, I have to be there. Even if it is a night when I am not racing but the kids are racing, like say with the sprint cars, I have to be there.”
His connection to the kids' classes began when The PAS hosted the So Cal Oval Karters Club on Saturday afternoons. His daughter Sadielee turned in her first laps on the infield track in a mini dwarf car at age five. In 2022, the same year Tyson won the Super Stock title, Sadielee captured the Mohave Mini Dwarf Sportsman championship. Now nine years old, she is competing in the Mini Dwarf Masters division and currently sits second in the standings at Mohave. That gives her bragging rights over her father, who is sixth in the IMCA Modified class at the same track.
A former motocross and speedway motorcycle racer, Talkington has turned into a top-notch, adaptable auto racer, driving and winning in both IMCA Modifieds and Super Stocks. Proof of that point was his winning the track championships in both classes at Mohave Valley last year. After the kids, Modifieds are now his main racing focus.
“I noticed that in the modifieds, you can go to a lot more tracks to race at,” he said via phone. “We got hold of one and have just been having fun with it. I love trying out different racetracks, seeing new things, and meeting different people.”
The racing tradition continues with the youngest member of the family, 4-year-old Brooks, who is eager to follow in his sister’s tire tracks. Brooks has been practicing in a go-kart on a small dirt oval behind their home in a go-kart that belonged to a family friend. Talkington acquired one of the arrive-and-drive go-karts from California Speedway when it closed. Now he cuts laps with Brooks on the backyard oval. He thinks Brooks will debut competitively at Mohave Valley when the 2025 season resumes in September.
“I just enjoy racing,” Talkington answered when asked what his racing future holds. “My daughter enjoys doing it, and it is something we can do together. So, as long as we are having fun, we are going to keep doing it. I really hope that someday she steps up and we can race in the same class. She asked me the other day what would be next when her time comes and she ages out (of the mini dwarfs). I guess we will get to that point when it comes and just go from there.”
Currently, Talkington’s shop houses five race cars: two Super Stocks, one IMCA Modified, and two IMCA Stock Cars. This Saturday at Perris, the team will field a Super Stock and Stock Car for Talkington and also bring out the second Super Stock for longtime PAS competitor and Talkington’s father-in-law, “Hot Rod” John Caley.
In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Shawn Estes of Riverside has been the class of the field through the first two races, winning both main events. The veteran driver has a six-point lead over Rancho Palos Verdes racer George Leventis after two races. Third spot, only five points out of second, is Ohio native and current Riverside resident Evan Sennett.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing getting underway at 7:00 p.m.

Blackjack to chase monster paydays in Huset’s Hustle and High Bank Nationals
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (June 17, 2025) - Big events bring big
money, and that’s exactly what Huset’s Speedway is bringing to table, set to
host the four-day Huset’s Hustle and High Bank Nationals on Wednesday
through Saturday, June 18-21. The four-day blockbuster, which will feature
the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, will not only cap with a
$250,000-to-win finale on Saturday, but it will technically launch with
another major payday on Thursday, this time awarding $100,000 to the winner
of the Huset’s Hustle.
Brian Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen
Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld
Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car who will be in on
the action at Huset’s Speedway, is certainly no stranger to big money
paydays, recently earning a Tuscarora 50 title at the Port Royal Speedway
“Speed Palace” in Port Royal, Pennsylvania, worth north of $60,000.
“Blackjack” will roll into Huset’s Speedway with two
victories to-date, each occurring at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.
Unfortunately, Brown’s effort in Knoxville’s World of Outlaws Premier Chevy
Dealers Clash fell short of the ultimate goal; he was caught up in a heat
race incident on Friday before a 24th-place score on Saturday.
“Overall, just a tough weekend at Knoxville,” Brown noted.
“Got behind the eight ball early with qualifying on Friday. Still managed to
get a great start in the heat, but unfortunately, we got into the 87’s right
rear which ended with us also getting into the 17B. It created a lot more
work for my guys and it banged me up pretty good. Managed to come back
Saturday, but it was an uphill battle all evening. Still, we dug ourselves
into an A-Main starting spot.
“Felt good to have a few days off to give my body a chance
to heal…we should be ready to go for Huset’s on Wednesday.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with a
major slate in South Dakota, joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
for the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals presented by Menards
beginning with the Huset’s Hustle on June 18-19 ($100,000-to-win Thursday).
Then on June 20-21, it’s another $20,000 preliminary followed by Saturday’s
finale handing out $250,000 to the winner.

Pokorski pushes to season-best
Plymouth 360 runner-up
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 17, 2025 – For the third straight week, Alex Pokorski seized a place on the podium in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car competition, only this time it was one step higher as he steered his No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team machine to a second-place finish on Saturday, June 14 at The Plymouth Dirt Track.
The fifth-year Sprint Car driver opened the evening by registering the 10th fastest qualifying lap in the 26-car field in 13.484 seconds.
He then advanced one spot in the first PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race by placing third from the fourth starting position to earn a berth in the evening’s 22-car main event.
After lining up 10th for the 25-lap A main, Pokorski got a huge run on the drop of the green flag to advance up to fifth on lap 3. Without a caution flag, the West Bend native made up ground in a hurry along the hooked-up high groove, moving past Lance Fassbender to take third on lap 15.
Four laps later, Pokorski swung around Tyler Davis to assume second in the running order behind Scotty Neitzel's lead car. After the lone caution flag of the race appeared on lap 19, the 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner lined up directly behind Neitzel with a clear shot at a possible win.
However, Neitzel proved too strong along the thick cushion as he pulled away from Pokorski over the final six laps on the way to victory. Pokorski came home with a 2025 season-best runner-up showing following a pair of recent third-place finishes in PDTR 360 Sprint Car action.
“The track had some character,” Pokorski said. “It had a big cushion, and it got slick in the middle. It made for good racing. I enjoy that type of surface. I'm happy to have gone 10th to second. I just wish we would have gotten up one more spot at the end!”
Pokorski will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition, which kicks off at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. on Friday, June 20.
Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing starting at 6:30 p.m.
The following night the team will compete in the IRA’s annual Road America Challenge event at The Plymouth Dirt Track.
Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action at 5:30 p.m.
All IRA events the team enters during the 2025 season are streamed live on floracing.com

Starks Posts Runner-Up Results at Skagit Speedway and Grays Harbor Raceway
Inside Line Promotions - ELMA, Wash. (June 17, 2025) - Trey Starks recorded back-to-back second-place finishes last weekend to give him 10 podium performances this season.
Starks was efficient on Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., where he set quick time during qualifying before advancing from fourth to second place during a heat race. He capped the night by maneuvering from third to second place in the main event.
"We went out late in qualifying and had really good speed," he said. "In the heat race, the top two made contact and I spun to avoid. A car behind got on top of us and so we had nose wing damage. We had to go to the back and at that point we restarted third or fourth. We got to second so it was no harm no foul as we were still in the feature redraw.
"We got into second on the first or second lap of the feature and then played chase to (Jason) Solwold the entire time. We were way too close to the same speed for me to make any moves. We had one chance on a restart about halfway through and another time where we got close, but we gambled on some things with the setup and the track went the other way so we were off a little bit. Nothing crazy, but we were off enough that if you put a guy like Solwold in front of you he'll be tough to beat."
Starks now leads the 360ci winged sprint car championship standings at Skagit Speedway by 66 points.
He ventured to Grays Harbor Raceway on Sunday for the Timber Cup with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. Starks again set quick time during qualifying. A run from fourth to third place in a heat race moved him into the dash. Starks gained a position in the dash to finish fifth, lining him up on the inside of the third row in the main event.
It didn't take long for Starks to start working his way forward. He used a restart to advance from fourth to third place and then up to second place. Starks stalked the leader and closed on him before a caution brought out a fuel stop.
Once the race resumed, Starks pounced and took the lead on Lap 12. He began to pull away until he closed on a car that was about to go a lap down in the final laps.
"I have a good sense on how Grays Harbor develops in the feature," he said. "The fast part of the track can change throughout the race. I was able to know when to use the bottom and when to get away from it. The grip will be really good and then gone within a couple of laps. Then it might move again. We used up the bottom as much as we could to move to third or fourth. I started moving around on the track. Once we got to second I just had to stay out of the leader's air and find a spot on the track that was developing grip before he was aware of it. We had a red flag and right before that I got to where he could hear me and he started searching. With the red happening it gave me time to reset and think of a plan. When we restarted I tried to run it hard to put him behind me and then I could settle in to run my car nice and easy. It worked out well until the last lap."
Starks was halted during multiple bids to get around a driver he was attempting to lap, which allowed James McFadden to close and use a slide job in turns three and four on the final lap to win by less than a quarter of a second.
"We got into an unfortunate situation in traffic," Starks said. "I just made too many mistakes and a guy like James is going to capitalize."
Attention now shifts back to Skagit Speedway for the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup this Thursday through Saturday. More than $100,000 is up for grabs for the feature winner of the marquee event on Saturday night.
"We seem to have pretty good car speed," he said. "It makes the week that much less stressful so I can focus on minimizing mistakes and trying to put myself in the right spot. I'd say we feel as good as we ever have going into Dirt Cup."

Hot laps at 34 are at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission, with Students 11-17 and Seniors $18. Kids 10 and under are FREE. The WINS series will make for another sprint car doubleheader night, and IMCA Modifieds, Stock Cars and Sport Compacts will also be in action.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Capture Knoxville Raceway Victory to Build Momentum Entering Mega Week at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 17, 2025) - A stout weekend at Knoxville Raceway showcased a return to Victory Lane for Big Game Motorsports.
David Gravel advanced from eighth to win the opening night of a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader at the half-mile oval last Friday. It marked the team's ninth triumph of the season.
Gravel was fifth quickest in his group during time trials before he advanced from third to second place in a heat race. That earned a spot in the dash and Gravel finished eighth to line up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event.
After quickly rocketing into the top five, Gravel methodically worked his way into the runner-up position before taking the lead on Lap 20. He pulled away in the closing laps to secure his 112 th career World of Outlaws win.
"I felt really good," he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. "From Lap 5 to Lap 20 I felt awesome. In the beginning I was alright, and at the end I was feeling a little weird, but we were the best car there for 15 or 20 laps by far. We could move around, charge the corner hard on the bottom and carry speed. I've got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson), and Pete (Stephens) and Scott (Vogelsong) this week for helping us out."
Gravel was strong on Saturday as well. He timed in second quickest in his group and won a heat race. A sixth-place result in the dash started him on the outside of the third row in the A Main. Gravel's car got stronger as the race went on and in the last 10 laps he advanced to second and closed on the leader. Gravel went for a last-ditch slide job in turns three and four, but was forced to check up to avoid contact. His second-place showing marked the team's 20 th podium in 33 races this season.
"I felt really good," he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. "I tried running the bottom a few times, and one time it really cost me a lot of time. Those last 10 laps I could really carry some speed through the corner. I wish I could take a couple laps back and gain some of that time back. Obviously, we had the fastest race car there at the end. These guys continue to give me fast race cars every single night, and it's my job to get the win."
Gravel used the strong weekend to build his lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 176 points.
Focus shifts to a home week for the team with Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D., hosting the $100,000-to-win Huset's Hustle on Wednesday and Thursday followed by the $250,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards on Friday and Saturday.
Gravel won the then-record quarter-million payday at the track in 2023.

Mallett Eager to Return to Batesville Motor Speedway for First Time Since Thrilling Win
Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIER, Ark. (June 17, 2025) - Jordon Mallett has a home state race with the ASCS National Tour on tap this weekend.
Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Ark., hosts the series on Saturday.
"My uncle used to run modifieds there," Mallett said. "I spent many nights as a spectator at Batesville. It's always held a sweet spot in my heart. It's a super nice place. I haven't turned many laps there and they rarely have sprint cars, but we made the most of our last time there."
Mallett used a last-lap pass to earn his second career ASCS National Tour triumph last June during his most recent visit to Batesville Motor Speedway.
"Batesville isn't one we have many laps on at all, but I was super fortunate last year to be able to win there," he said. "That was a track in Arkansas we hadn't won at. I grew up going to watch late models and modifieds there for years so it was super cool to be able to go there in a sprint car and win.
"We have a lot of friends and family and sponsors that come to Batesville to hang out. It was super special last year and I look forward to going back this year."
Mallett enters the event ranked sixth in the ASCS National Tour championship standings - only three points out of fifth place.
A pair of ASCS National Tour races in Oklahoma rained out last weekend and were rescheduled for July.
SEASON STATS -
7 races, 1 win, 2 top fives, 6 top 10s, 7 top 15s, 7 top 20s

Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night features $5 tickets at Placerville Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Throughout the years Placerville Speedway has been known for having some of the most loyal fans in Northern California. As a special thank you to our dedicated patrons, grandstand tickets will be just $5 during the annual Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night this Saturday June 21st.
Divisions ready to thrill the crowd on Fan Appreciation Night include the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints.
Hirst Home Team presents Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour and Live Music prior to the races until 6pm. Make sure to also arrive with your appetite to enjoy some of the highest rated racetrack cuisine in Nor-Cal at the Speedway Café.
“Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night is always an event we look forward to each season,” said track Promoter Scott Russell. “With grandstand tickets just $5 we encourage everyone to bring a friend and if they can, please introduce someone new to the races on Saturday as well. The Thompson’s Family of Dealerships have been long-time partners with not only the track, but it even goes back to 2001 when I first started running Sprint Cars. We can’t thank them enough for their continued support.”
The familiar red clay was silent from the roar of race cars around the oval last week due to the annual break for the El Dorado County Fair. This Saturday, however, launches five consecutive weeks of racing as things begin to heat up at Placerville Speedway.
Battles in the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire/ Coors Light championship chase stand close entering the busiest stretch of the campaign. Just 19-points separate Auburn’s Andy Forsberg, Suisun City’s Chance Grasty and Sacramento’s Austin Wood at the top of the Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car standings.
Forsberg has two wins, while Grasty and Wood have shown solid consistency thus far, with both knocking on the door of victory lane. Tony Gomes of Modesto dominated the last point race and sits fourth in points followed by Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins.
Fan Appreciation Night marks round four of the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model season. Yuba City’s Rod Oliver captured the last event and holds a slim two-point advantage over Live Oak’s Matt Micheli. Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot has one win on the campaign and is only four markers back in third.
The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks have put on some thrilling races this season and more of the same is expected Saturday. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin of Oakley won last time out and leads Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson by 17 points.
Three-time victor this season Ryan Peter of Rio Linda ranks P3 in the standings but is just 20 back of Baldwin. Tyler Lightfoot and Sacramento’s Jason Palmer round out the top five in points.
The BCRA Lightning Sprints will also shed the wings for the first time this season at Placerville Speedway, as they get tuned up for the November running of the Hangtown 100.
Tickets and Details:
Grandstand seating during Thompson’s Fan Appreciation Night will be General Admission on Saturday June 21st, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
Grandstand tickets once again are just $5 and can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr062125
The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30pm with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, ADCO Driveline qualifying and racing will follow.

Chance Grasty Win First Career SCCT Feature
PETERSEN MEDIA- Saturday night in Petaluma, CA, Chance Grasty went toe to toe with defending Sprint Car Challenge Tour Champion, Andy Forsberg, and was able to get the best of him and score his first career series win.
“We have been really good all year long, but the last few weeks we’ve really made some gains, and I am happy to get the team a win and score my first ever SCCT win,” Chance Grasty said. “Saturday night we were fast from hot laps on, and it is a great feeling.”
With 24 cars heading to Petaluma Speedway for the Wings Over Wine Country Event, Grasty set the standard in qualifying time trials as he earned quick time honors.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Suisun City, CA driver picked up a couple of positions amidst the quick heat as his second-place finish put him in the all-important High Sierra Industries Dash.
Pulling the three in the redraw, Grasty bettered his feature even starting position by a row as he finished second and lined up on the front row of the 35-lapper alongside Andy Forsberg.
The opening half of the race was a bit of a challenge as numerous stoppages never allowed an extended green flag run as Grasty maintained the second position. The numerous stoppages led officials to calling for a fuel stop just past the race’s halfway point.
Following the stoppage, the race got into a rhythm and it allowed the leaders to get into traffic which is just what Grasty needed. Chasing after Forsberg as traffic became a factor, Grasty was able to keep pace with the veteran as they each managed the challenges well.
On the 29th lap, Forsberg closed in on a slower car quickly and it allowed Grasty to change lanes and zip by to take the top spot. Clearing Forsberg and the slower car, Grasty had clear track the last five laps as he went on to score his second win of the season and first career SCCT feature event win.
“Saturday night we were fast from hot laps on, and it is a great feeling to pick this win up,” Grasty added. “I knew Andy Forsberg was going to be tough in the feature, but I have all the confidence in the world in this team and I knew we’d have our chances. It really was an amazing night and I owe it all to Allan, Tooch, Dan, Terry, Mike, Joe, and Ryan for all of their hard work.”
F&F Racing would like to thank Bushey Financial Services, C&H Motor Parts, Sierra Single Ply Roofing, Wrayvon, CRV Carbon Solutions, Quick Change Liquid Energy, All Pro Heads, Engler, and Don Ott Racing Engines for their support.
ON TAP: F&F Racing and Chance Grasty will be at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

EASTERN STORM OPENER STOPPED BY WET GROUNDS, NEXT THUNDER EVENT IS PA SPEED WEEK, TUESDAY, JULY 1 AT GRANDVIEW
BECHTELSVILLE, PA JUNE 17, 2025 . . . . . . When will Mother Nature give us a break? The Tuesday, June 17 USAC Eastern Storm and 358 Modified Doubleheader became just another show of many to be cancelled due to weather conditions. Extreme wet conditions at the track and a miserable weather day with 93% cloud cover, occasional light mist and no sun is preventing the track crew from starting the preparation. There is also a concern for spectators walking in the grandstand area with the very wet grounds. With six consecutive nights of the Eastern Storm there is no opportunity for a rain date. This is very disappointing for Thunder on the Hill and Grandview Speedway, the originators of the USAC return to Pennsylvania back in 2007. We hope the weather cooperates for the continuation of the Levan Machine and Truck Equipment Eastern Storm that will visit Bridgeport on Wednesday, Big Diamond on Thursday, Williams Grove Friday, Port Royal Saturday and Action Track USA on Sunday.
The next NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill event is set for Tuesday night, July 1 when the Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week teams up with the 358 Modifieds for a double header. Gates open at 5 with race time set for 7:30.
We look forward to Alpine Building Supplies being part of this event and hosting the tailgate Party as a pre-race activity.
The very popular Thunder on the Hill Advance ticket process is in place for the Tuesday, July 1 PA Sprint Speed Week and 358 Modified Double Header. For advance tickets, please call 443 513 4456, leave your name and the number of tickets you need for July 1. You may pay for and pick up tickets at the Will Call Window after 4:15 and enter the main grandstand gate at 4:30 PM. General admission tickets go on sale at 5 PM. Adult tickets are $30, children 6 to 11 are $10 and children 5 and under will be admitted for free. The pit fee is $45 and a license is not required.
The Alpine Thunder on the Hill Series Shirt will showcase a 410 Sprint, a Non-Wing 410 Sprint and a 358 Modified on the back with the Alpine Building Supply and Thunder on the Hill logos placed on the front of the shirt. In addition, all profits from the sale of these shirts will be donated to the Big Impact Group of Schuylkill County. The Alpine Thunder Series shirts will be sold at the Alpine Building Supply display at the Grandview Speedway at all Thunder on the Hill events. Shirts will be $20 up to XL and $25 for larger sizes. Be sure to stop by the Alpine Building Supply and purchase your Alpine Thunder on the Hill shirt and support a worthy cause.

Kaleb Johnson Adds Another Podium at Huset's Speedway to Highlight Busy Week
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 16, 2025) - Kaleb Johnson capped a five-race week with a podium performance on Sunday at Huset's Speedway.
The strong outing, which was his fifth podium in six races at the track this year, pushed his lead in the track's championship standings to 36 points.
The night began with the Team DGRD driver setting quick time in his qualifying group. He then advanced a position in a heat race to make the feature redraw. Johnson pulled the No. 5 during the random draw to line up on the inside of the third row in the main event.
"We've been really solid in qualifying and we were able to pick off one spot in the heat race," he said. "Feature-wise, we didn't get a great start. I think I fell to seventh. As the feature went on we kept getting better and better. I felt I might have had a shot to win at the end, but I should have tried the bottom."
The busy week also featured races with three different racing series. Johnson ended in the B Main last Tuesday at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb., with Kubota High Limit Racing. Two nights later, the team maneuvered from 14 th to ninth during a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League show at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. Johnson then highlighted a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, by making the main event on Saturday.
"Qualifying hasn't been our strong suit, but both nights at Knoxville I'd say we made up for it even though we didn't make the feature on Friday," he said. "On Saturday, I was able to have a really good first lap to get into fifth. It was good to make the feature. Even though the results weren't great, it was good to get laps against those guys."
Another huge week is on tap with four straight nights of World of Outlaws races at Huset's Speedway. The $100,000-to-win Huset's Hustle is Wednesday and Thursday followed by the $250,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards on Friday and Saturday.
"I'm excited for it, to get to race close to home for a lot of money," Johnson said. "Hopefully we have a solid showing each night. If we can make the main event all four nights I'd be happy."

Andy Forsberg 2nd with Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Petaluma Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Having a strong night at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday night with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, Andy Forsberg ultimately ended up with a second place finish as Chance Grasty was able to sneak by him amidst dense traffic with just a few laps to go in the feature event.
“Traffic was tough on Saturday night, but sometimes it makes your day and sometimes in breaks your day and on Saturday it didn’t go our way,” Andy Forsberg said. “It is cool to see Chance Grasty get his first Sprint Car Challenge Tour win, but I thought we were on our way to another win.”
With 24 cars making the trip to Petaluma Speedway for first of two SCCT appearances at the track in 2025, Forsberg got the night underway by timing the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Cameras/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 in third fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver simply needed to finish inside the top-five to make himself Dash eligible, but a great start saw him power his way into the lead.
Able to pick up the win, Forsberg was not only locked into the Dash, but automatically earned the pole for winning his heat from fourth.
Continuing to have a strong showing on the Petaluma Speedway, Forsberg led the Dash from flag to flag and earned the right to lead the field to green for the 35-lap SCCT feature event.
When the opening green flag flew, it was quickly replaced by a red with issues in turn three and four causing a complete restart.
Getting the jump when the green finally flew, Forsberg led the way but cautions soon haunted the race and marred the opening half of action.
Able to nail each and every restart, Forsberg was very as stoppages continued to keep him out of traffic.
Following a fuel stop at the race’s halfway point, the cautions stopped and the race go into an extended green flag run which saw the leaders get into dense traffic.
Navigating the back of the field, Forsberg was able to keep second running Chance Grasty at bay, until he was forced to slow his pace with five to go, which allowed Grasty to pass him for the top spot.
With a bit of clear track for the finale few laps, Forsberg was unable to get back to the lead as he capped his night off with a second place finish.
“We had a good car, and traffic happens, and those guys are racing themselves so you cant be too upset losing a race in traffic,” Forsberg added. “Thanks to the crew for working hard and giving us a great car, we will be back to this week.”
Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, MCK, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

Dover Posts Season-Best Second-Place Finish in Final Race at Huset's Speedway Before Huge Week
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 16, 2025) - Jack Dover produced his best result of the season last Sunday at Huset's Speedway in preparation for one of the biggest weeks of the season.
Dover led the first 24 laps of the 25-lap main event at the high-banked oval before his sputtering car, which was running out of fuel, dropped to a second-place finish.
"We tried to keep the weight down and push the envelope," he said. "We pushed it too far last night. Normally we come in with four or five gallons at the end of the night, but with all the cautions we ran out. With three laps to go I started feeling it sputter big time going into the corner and about halfway through the corner it'd finally clean out."
The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver was strong throughout the night. Dover qualified fourth quickest in his group and won a heat race to make the feature redraw. He pulled the No. 2 to line up on the outside of the front row in the main event.
"We weren't great, but after time trials I changed some stuff and it made the car better," he said.
Dover rocketed to the lead at the start of the A Main and was efficient both on restarts and picking through traffic. Unfortunately, the car began stumbling because of the lack of fuel in the final laps. Dover was passed with a slide job in turns one and two on the final lap. He finished second by less than a quarter of a second.
"We've been trying a lot of new things the last week," he said. "I think we're headed in the right direction. We all knew it'd take some time to figure out, but once we did we could compete. Last night showed we can do it. We just have to set ourselves up early in the night."
The podium performance moved Dover to third place in the Huset's Speedway championship standings - only nine points out of second place and 45 points behind the leader.
Four straight nights at Huset's Speedway fills this week's racing schedule. The track hosts the $100,000-to-win Huset's Hustle on Wednesday and Thursday. The $250,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards runs Friday and Saturday.
"I feel way better than I did up to yesterday," Dover said. "Running as good as we did boosted the confidence and rolling into these big shows you have to have confidence. At least 50 or 60 of the best cars in the country will be there. If we can run as good as we did last night I feel we'll be in the show. If we can roll like we did last night I think we'll have a solid weekend."

James McFadden Makes Statement During Opening Week with
Tarlton Motorsports
PETERSEN MEDIA- Taking part in the NARC series’ Fastest Five Days in
Motorsports, James McFadden made a big statement in his opening stint with
Tarlton Motorsports as the Australian National Champion picked up four
feature event wins during the five day trip through Oregon and into
Washington.
Using the week as a tune up for this week’s Super Dirt Cup
at Skagit Speedway, McFadden adapted to his new ride in the United States
very well as he timed in sixth fastest during the opener at Southern Oregon
Speedway and went on to win his heat, and run third in the Dash.
Settling into second as the race came to life, McFadden
chased after early Landon Brooks as he continued to adapt to the Drew Warner
prepared, Tarlton and Son Inc./American Rock and Rent/Executive Auto Sales
backed No. 21. In traffic, the Alice Springs, NT driver made his winning
move on the 12th lap as he stormed into the lead and never looked back.
Traveling to Roseburg, OR on Thursday night, McFadden and
company checked in at the Douglas County Dirt Trac a track that he had won
at in 2024 with High Limit Racing.
Timing in fifth quickest, McFadden again powered to the heat
race win before winning the Dash and earning the pole for the 30-lap feature
event. Getting the initial jump when the green flag was displayed, officials
deemed it too good and put him back a row for a second attempt at the start.
Slipping back to fifth when the race got underway, McFadden
was able to calm himself after the penalty and begin working his way
forward.
Racing into second on the 21st lap, McFadden then tracked
down Justin Sanders on the 24th lap, and made a bold move to power his way
into the lead and make it a perfect 2 for 2 on the week.
Friday night saw the series invade Cottage Grove Speedway in
Cottage Grove, OR.
Typically known as a slick bullring, a very wet surface
greeted the field on this night and going out early proved less than ideal
for McFadden and company.
Despite timing in 17th quickest in time trials, McFadden
worked his way to a fourth place finish in his heat race which then put him
in the seventh row of the feature event.
Despite the track staying extremely fast and narrow, he was
able to make do form the middle of the field. Carving his way forward,
McFadden’s two race streak came to a close but he was still able to tally a
sixth place finish.
Saturday night brought the action to Willamette Speedway in
Lebanon, OR where J-Mac bounced back and timed in fastest in time trials
before a second-place finish in his heat race put him back in the Dash.
Running second in the Dash to Robbie Price, McFadden was not
to be denied in the feature event as he quickly jumped into the lead and
motored from the field at the race’s onset.
Quickly getting into traffic, McFadden was able to navigate
well until his pace was slowed dramatically in the closing laps. Trying to
navigate slower cars, Dominic Scelzi was able to challenge for the lead, but
McFadden was quickly able to counter his efforts and retain the top spot.
In what was a six minute feature event, McFadden was back in
victory lane for third and final time of the week in Oregon, as Sunday’s
finale was hosted at Elma, WA’s Gray’s Harbor Raceway.
Going out late in qualifying time trials, McFadden was able
to time in seventh fastest before again picking up a heat race win. Drawing
the front row of the Dash, McFadden continued to flex his muscle as he
powered to the win and lined up on the pole of the 25-lap Fastest 5 Days
finale.
Getting off to a great start, McFadden looked to be well on
his way to yet another feature event win, but a restart following an open
red made things exciting.
When the race came back to life, Trey Starks was able to
steal the lead from JMac after closing on him prior to the stoppage. Back in
second, McFadden went back to work as he kept Starks in his sights with laps
clicking down.
Getting back into traffic, McFadden had the advantage and on
the final lap he snuck under Starks in three and four to take the lead and
score the win coming to the checkered flag to make it four wins and five
nights as the team now prepares for Dirt Cup which kicks off at Skagit
Speedway this Thursday night.
Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son
Inc., American Rock and Rent, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate
and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood
Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 5, Wins: 4, Top 5’s: 4, Top 10’s: 5.

Speedway for the Super Dirt Cup this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.

More Than 60 Drivers Pre-Entered for This Week's $100k-to-Win Huset's Hustle and $250k-to-Win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by Menards at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 16, 2025) - One of the biggest weeks in winged sprint car racing has arrived at Huset's Speedway, which hosts a pair of six-figure paydays during four premier nights of competition.
The high-banked dirt oval features the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series this Wednesday through Saturday with more than 60 drivers pre-entered. The Huset's Hustle kicks off with a $20,000-to-win preliminary night on Wednesday leading into the $100,000-to-win finale on Thursday. The slate is wiped clean on Friday with a $20,000-to-win preliminary night for the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by Menards, which concludes on Saturday with a whopping $250,000-to-win, $5,000-to-start main event.
NASCAR stars Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell are on the pre-entry list along with eight of the top 10 drivers in the Kubota High Limit Racing championship standings, featuring Brad Sweet, Tyler Courtney, Rico Abreu, Aaron Reutzel, Tanner Thorson, Spencer Bayston, Kasey Kahne and Chase Randall - the most recent feature winner at Huset's Speedway last Sunday.
The full contingent of World of Outlaws drivers will be competing, including defending champion David Gravel along with Michael 'Buddy' Kofoid, Carson Macedo, Logan Schuchart, Sheldon Haudenschild, Donny Schatz, Giovanni Scelzi, Bill Balog and more.
Brian Brown, Tim Kaeding, Kaleb Johnson (a three-time winner at the track this season and the current points leader), Ryan Timms (a two-time winner at the track this season), Mark Dobmeier, Brady Bacon, Anthony Macri, Kerry Madsen and Austin McCarl are also among the long list of drivers who have pre-entered.
An overview of the format with 49 or more drivers competing during the two preliminary nights (Wednesday and Friday) is:
Drivers will be split into two qualifying groups with three heat races per group. The heat races will have an inversion of six, meaning the quickest qualifier lines up sixth. Points will be tabulated from qualifying and heat race results with the top four drivers in each group advancing into the dash and the top 10 in each group into the A Main. The C Main will transfer the top two finishers into the back of the B Main, which will transfer the top four into the back of the A Main.
Preliminary points will line up six heat races straight up to open the programs on Thursday and Saturday. The heat race winners will be locked into a King of the Hill to determine the first three rows of the main event. Drivers who finished second and third in the heat races are locked into the A Main and will redraw among their finishing position group (second-place finishers starting in positions seven through 12 and third-place finishers starting in positions 13 through 18). The top four transfer out of the C Main to the back of the B Main and the top six in the B Main will make up the final three rows of the A Main lineup.
The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 7 p.m. each night.
Race tickets can be purchased online at https://mpv.tickets.com/schedule/?agency=JKMV_PL_MPV&orgid=55369#/?view=list&includePackages=true .

Doran Binks Racing’s Swanson Wins
Route 66 Centennial Classic USAC Silver Crown Race
Saturday Night at WWTR in Mission Foods #77
MADISON, Ill., June 16 — Doran Binks Racing’s Kody Swanson had to pass Justin Grant on lap 17 and Dakoda Armstrong on lap 45 to do it, but he came away with a hard-fought victory in the Route 66 Centennial Classic USAC Silver Crown race Saturday night at World Wide Technology Raceway (WWTR) in the Mission Foods #77.
The event was the highlight of Saturday’s card at the 1.25-mile asphalt oval a few miles from St. Louis’s famous Gateway Arch. It hosted the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 NTT IndyCar Series event Sunday night.
The USAC Silver Crown race, which was presented by Ranken Technical College and Welsch Heating & Cooling, featured 66 laps of competition around the 1.25-mile asphalt oval, six laps more than last year’s race.
Swanson started on the pole with the Mission Foods #77, which is also sponsored by Glenn Farms and Wilke Orthodontics, but he slipped to fifth initially when fellow front-row starter Bobby Santos, C.J. Leary, Armstrong and Grant drafted by him. Santos only led the first two laps, however, as Grant, who started fifth, led from laps three through 16.
Swanson advanced to fourth on lap three when Leary dropped from second to fifth. Grant passed Santos for the lead on lap three and Swanson passed Santos and Armstrong working lap four to rise from fourth to second with the #77, which is powered by a Lanci-prepped Ford engine.
Running down Grant became his next order of business. He got under him in Turn 3 working lap 17 to take the lead. But Armstrong passed Grant for second on the very next lap, and immediately began to hound Swanson.
There was a break when the first of two yellows flew with 21 laps down when the driver who was ninth, Jake Trainor, hit the outside wall in Turn 1 and rolled to a stop in Turn 2. Luckily he wasn’t hurt. While the track crew was cleaning up the accident site a problem developed with the track lighting on the frontstretch, which caused a red flag and forced the field to pit lane.
After electricians solved that problem temporarily the green flew again on lap 30, and Armstrong pounced. He passed Swanson to the outside on the frontstretch on the restart to push him back to second.
Swanson was able to keep just one, two, or three-tenths of a second behind him, however. Both Swanson and Armstrong set their fastest race laps up to that point on lap 34, and one lap later they both ran quicker. The third and fourth place drivers at the time, Santos and Grant, also set their fastest race laps to that point on lap 35. The top three bettered their own times on lap 38 as they diced for position, and Santos and Grant ran faster than they had earlier on lap 40 too. Armstrong had just a 0.110-second lead over Swanson at that time.
Leary, who was sixth, dropped out of contention on lap 40 due to a brake problem. He was able to return later, several laps down.
Through it all Swanson stayed right behind Armstrong, searching for a place to pass him. His winning move came working lap 45 when he charged under Armstrong in Turn 3, and he was never again headed.
Swanson set his fastest lap of the race to that point on lap 46, which was second only to Santos, but the second yellow flew on lap 47 due to the same lighting problem that occurred earlier. That turned into another red flag two laps later, and the field again reported to pit lane.
Armstrong spent that red-flag period contemplating how to pass Swanson again, while Swanson spent it thinking about how to hold off Armstrong.
Swanson got a better start than he had done earlier on the restart with 50 laps down, although Armstrong was right behind him. Swanson, Armstrong, and Santos, who was third, all bettered their fastest race laps once again on lap 54 as the laps winded down.
Swanson was able to increase his lead to over 1 second for the first time on lap 56, and 10 laps later he took the checkered flag over Armstrong with a 2.667-second margin of victory. Santos finished third and Grant was fourth. Jackson Macenko was the hard charger, as he finished fifth after starting 11th.
It was USAC Silver Crown victory #46 for Swanson, who is the series’ eight-time and reigning champion and the winningest driver in series history. With the victory he joined Santos as the only two-time winners of a USAC Silver Crown race at this track.
Since Saturday’s race was the first 66-lap USAC Silver Crown race here, it also gave Swanson the track record for that distance.
Swanson also ended up with the fastest race lap honors with his time of 31.057 seconds on lap 54. Armstrong and Santos were second and third in that category due to their fastest race laps on lap 57.
It was a long race and a long day. Saturday’s race was delayed two hours due to rain.
The single practice session scheduled for Saturday morning was rained out, so a combined practice/qualifying session was held Saturday afternoon. Swanson turned 10 laps in that session and it resulted in his 56th series pole, extending his record as the driver with the most pole positions in series history. It was his second pole of the season and his fourth one in a row at this track, as he was also the fastest qualifier here in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The next-closest driver with poles at this track is the late Dave Steele, who had two.
Swanson’s last lap in Saturday’s qualifying session was fastest. It took only 30.797 seconds for an average speed of 146.118 miles per hour. Although it was faster than anyone else ran, it didn’t break the track record Swanson set here last August of 30.239 seconds (148.814 mph) also driving for Doran Binks Racing, which is the fastest official lap ever turned in a traditional USAC Silver Crown car. That 2024 record broke an earlier mark Swanson set here in 2022 driving for Doran Dyson Racing.
Santos III qualified second, only 0.181 behind, followed by Leary, Armstrong, and Grant.
This was Swanson’s first USAC Silver Crown victory of the season.
“It’s tough to get to June and not have a win yet,” Swanson admitted in victory lane to the fans on hand and the Flo Racing audience. “Sometimes we had great runs and just some bad luck, but we never gave up and just kept after it. I appreciate the chance to run for Doran Binks Racing, and to our sponsors and suppliers for their support.
“With the red flags, I just had to try to refocus and get back into a rhythm,” he added. “It’s hard, because there are a bunch of great competitors in this series, and if you give them a chance they’ll steal the lead from you. So that makes any USAC Silver Crown victory very special.”
Swanson will be back in Doran Binks Racing’s Mission Foods #77 at the next asphalt USAC Silver Crown race, which is scheduled for Winchester (Ind.) Speedway on Friday, June 27. That race was postponed May 4 due to rain. The complete schedule can be found on usacracing.com.
Swanson is a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Brownsburg, Ind. Doran Binks Racing is headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio.

Will a PASS Champ win the KRC on June 28th
When Ken Duke Jr. of Selinsgrove won the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series Championship last year, he became only the second driver in series history to win both the season’s biggest race and the season championship.
Well, sort of . . . there’s an asterisk.
You see, when Duke won the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge at Port Royal Speedway last April, he was winning the 2023 edition of that event, which had been rained out the previous October. A little less than three months later, “Nitro” Nick Sweigart of Myerstown captured the 2024 edition.
Regardless of that oddity, Duke became the second driver to win both a KRC and the PASS title in the same year, following Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery, who pulled it off in 2020. Duke and Bard also happen to be the only drivers with three series championships to their credit, and Duke will be one of a large number of IMCA/RaceSaver pilots attempting to take home a KRC trophy on Saturday, June 28, when the 2025 edition, also known as the “Blue Collar Classic,” takes place at Port Royal, where the series is sponsored by Penns Valley Meat Market.
Other former KRC winners expected to be on hand include Sweigart, one of only two two-time winners; and Logan Spahr of Lewisberry, who won the race in 2022 and captured the River Valley Builders PASS Championship the next year.
The connection between KRC winners and top performance in PASS points is relatively recent. In the race’s first five years, 2012-16, two winners, Sean Campbell (2012) and Jeff Geiges (2014) were from outside the area, and two others, Jake Waters (2013) and Jeff Miller (2015 and 2016) finished lower than 40th in the standings.
Miller’s second win is another asterisk situation. Officially he won the 2016 race, but due to another rainout, it wasn’t held until 2017, when he finished 40th in points.
Sweigart’s first KRC win, in 2019, marked the first time a winner also placed in the top ten in PASS points; he finished seventh. Since that time, only outsider Justin Clark of Ohio has won the race without being in the top ten in points.
Clark’s win in 2021 and Garrett Bard’s victory the year before also mark the only times the KRC winner also has been the IMCA/RaceSaver National Champion, although Ken Duke Jr. also has won the national championship, just not in his KRC-winning year.
Timmy Bittner recently moved atop the current IMCA/RaceSaver national points standings, and Kepner stands fifth. Two other anticipated KRC entrants, Jeff Weaver and Jarrett Cavalet, are sixth and tenth.
Of course, none of that means anything to current River Valley Builders PASS points leader Kruz Kepner of Kreamer, who will set up his #19 sprinter the same way without regard to past statistics. The same can be said for his challengers in the points standings top five, Mike Melair, Drew Young, Kenny Heffner, and Timmy Bittner, and to each of the dozens of other cars that will hit the “Speed Palace” at Port Royal on June 28. Each will be trying to become the 12th different winner of PASS’s most prestigious race.
Duke and Spahr will be trying to join Sweigart and Jeff Miller as two-time winners, while Sweigart will be aiming for the highest honor of being the first three-time winner.
The 14th Annual Keystone RaceSaver Challenge will begin with hot laps at 6:00 p.m. and racing at 7:00 on June 28. Pit gates will open at 4:00 p.m. and grandstands at 5:00.
Also featured will be the limited late models, which will run the Ron Zimmerman Tribute Race, and the wingless super sportsman cars. The IMCA/RaceSaver sprints will run group time trials, qualifying events, the 25-lap KRC feature, and the 15-lap Founder’s Cup race.
Adult general admission is $20 ($10 for students 13-17; kids 12 and under free), and pit admission is $35.
The River Valley Builders PASS tour does not race the weekend of June 20-22. The series’ next event will be at Selinsgrove Speedway on Friday, July 11, with a return to Port Royal on Saturday, July 12.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution.

CHASING GREEN: Reutzel and RSR earn $10,000 POWRi victory at 34 Raceway;
Huset’s Hustle and High Bank Nationals on deck
ByTyler Altmeyer
June 16, 2025
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 16, 2025) – For the fifth time in 2025, “A-Aron” Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) found themselves on top of the heap, highlighting their recent week of competition with a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League victory at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on Thursday, June 12. The victory, accompanied by a $10,000 payday, was accomplished in fantastic fashion, leading all 30 circuits after a stellar preliminary effort that included the evening’s fastest qualifying time. In addition, it was Reutzel’s first POWRi score of the year, as well as his second podium of the week, technically launching his week’s agenda with a third-place finish in Eagle Raceway’s $55,555-to-win Eagle Nationals on Tuesday, June 10; he finished third, the highest of any full-time High Limit Racing competitor.
Reutzel, ace of Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Power Plus, Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, Commercial Edge, Rasmusson Service Center, The P.O. Box, Bargain Barn, No. 87 sprint car, raced on to conclude his recent week of competition with a top-ten versus the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. The Clute, Texas, native was ninth in Saturday’s program, a sound performance with over 60 of the country’s best wheelman signed in for action. The effort was also a sound rebound, forced to retire early in Friday’s World of Outlaws event due to a heat race issue.
“Super proud of Aaron [Reutzel] and this entire Ridge & Sons Racing team. The guys are really starting to hit their stride and the results show,” Brian Ridge, owner of RSR, explained. “We have some big money to chase again this week. We’re going to roll into Huset’s with a lot of confidence and that’s what’s needed to be up front. We’ll see everyone in South Dakota.”
As noted, a major week sits ahead for Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing, as they’re set to rejoin the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series for Huset’s Speedway’s four-day Huset’s Hustle (June 18-19) and High Bank Nationals (June 20-21) program kicking off Wednesday, June 18. The Huset’s Hustle will award a $100,000 payday on Thursday, with the High Bank Nationals finale on Saturday awarding $250,000-to-win. Aaron Reutzel, the former 3-time All Star Circuit of Champions champion, is certainly no stranger to big paydays, already earning the $100,000 Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway on Sunday, May 25.

TKS Motorsports sets aim on major week at Huset’s Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
June 16, 2025
MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (June 16, 2025) – Mitchellville, Iowa’s TKS Motorsports has had their fair share of ups and downs in 2025, but one sound week could change it all, setting their aim on a major momentum shift with Huset’s Speedway’s High Bank Nationals launching Wednesday, June 18.
The four-day campaign, divided into two parts with the two-day Huset’s Hustle on June 18-19, followed by the two-day High Bank Nationals on June 20-21, will not only be accompanied by major headlines and big names, but even bigger paydays, all of which culminating with the $250,000-to-win High Bank Nationals finale on Saturday. Impressive enough, Thursday’s Huset’s Hustle finale will award $100,000.
Ian Madsen, who joined TKS Motorsports prior to their recent starts in Knoxville Raceway’s Premier Chevy Dealers Clash on June 13-14, will pilot the Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Webb Family Farms, Landus, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, Justice Brothers, Serenity Custom Woodworking, No. 2KS in South Dakota. Unfortunately, the team was unable to qualify for each of the Clash A-Mains.
“We’re ready to give it a go. It hasn’t been the best of seasons for us so far, but things can change in a hurry. Much like other sports, momentum and rhythm play a huge factor in sprint car racing and we’ve struggled to maintain those two factors. This would be a great week to turn things around,” Troy Renfro, owner of TKS Motorsports, said. “Hats off to everyone who helps and supports this team. It takes an army and we’ve been blessed to be surrounded by so many great people.”

HOOSIER COUNTRY: Doney-Lawson Racing to resume POWRi
schedule with three Indiana starts in three days
ByTyler Altmeyer
June 16, 2025
ODESSA, Mo. (June 16, 2025) – The 2025 season has been a wet one for Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson Racing, surrendering to Mother Nature once again with POWRi Missouri washouts at Callaway Raceway and Lake Ozark Speedway on June 13-14. Despite the weather distractions, the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars aces are as focused as ever, setting aim on an Indiana triple at Lincoln Park Speedway, Paragon Speedway, and Terre Haute Action Track on Friday through Sunday, June 20-22.
Although Mother Nature won most of the recent weekend, Doney-Lawson Racing, backed by Design Source Flooring, Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, MVP Logistics, T&T Equine, Prime Composite, Steve & Mandy Griffin Family, JDLawsonMedia, and Stanton Racing Engines, will roll into Indiana with a pair of recent starts to their credit, first entering Eagle Raceway’s Eagle Nationals on June 10 followed by 34 Raceway’s Thursday Throwdown on June 12. Xavier Doney, older brother of fellow Doney-Lawson Racing ace Natalie Doney, highlighted all attempts with a 16th-place run at 34 Raceway, winning his respective B-Main to qualify for the $10,000-to-win finale.
Natalie Doney, celebrating her first, full year in the 410 sprint car ranks, was unable to qualify for A-Main action at 34-Raceway, as her night ended in the B-Main. Despite the fact, the young lady’s promise is there, earning one top-ten thus far in 2025 with more surely on the horizon.
The upcoming Hoosier State triple will be POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League’s first and only visit to Indiana this season.
ON DECK:
Full-time POWRi competitors, Xavier Doney, Natalie Doney, and Doney-Lawson
Racing will resume POWRi commitments with three Indiana starts in three
days, set to visit Lincoln Park Speedway, Paragon Speedway, and Terre Haute
Action Track on Friday through Sunday, June 20-22.
