Cory Probst: 300 Wins and Counting in the Hobby Stocks

By Ben Deatherage BREWSTER, Minn. (Aug. 8, 2025) — In Brewster, Minnesota — a small town of just over 500 residents with deep railroad roots — Cory Probst has built a racing career that’s anything but small. The driver of the No. 75C Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock reached an extraordinary milestone on August 2 at Arlington Raceway, claiming his 300th feature win. For Probst, the historic night came on familiar ground. His 100th win was at Arlington on June 23, 2018. His 200th win came at the same track on June 18, 2022. It’s a place where he has collected some of his biggest moments — and a track that still brings out the best in him. “Arlington is one of my favorite tracks,” Probst said. “It’s a big half-mile with room to move. Things don’t get as congested, and if things get ugly, there’s places to hide.” Probst’s milestone was the 17th time in his 27 B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region wins this year that he has started ninth or deeper in the field.

But Rust, a two-time Benton County Speedway champion and 2016 Harris Clash winner, was unfazed and pulled away on the restart for a dominant win. Beckendorf, the 2018 regional champion and five-time Minnesota State title holder, finished second while Nick Meyer, the 2018 Kossuth County and Hancock County Speedways champ, took third.
