Ryan Wins The Race, Shrader Champion In Dramatic Finish At Antioch
By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (Sept. 13, 2025) — Jason Ryan Jr. of Oakley won the 20-lap Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMod main event in dramatic fashion Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. It was Ryan’s fourth win of the season, with half of those victories coming at Antioch, and he gained this one with the late-race misfortune of Kenny Shrader of Pacheco. Shrader, the point leader going into the night, suffered front-end damage while lapping a slower car with two laps remaining. Though he limped home to ninth, that finish was still enough to secure him the track championship. The championship night format put Shrader and Ryan on the front row, and Shrader bolted into the immediate lead ahead of Ryan and Trevor Clymens. Shrader steadily pulled away from the pack while Ryan and Clymens battled for second. By halfway, Shrader was slicing through slower traffic with precision, but on lap 17, contact with a lapped car left his machine crippled. Ryan pounced low in turn four on lap 18 to take over the top spot. [Read More]
