Ashton Thompson: Turning Laps for a Cause

By Ben Deatherage SALEM, Ind. (Oct. 3, 2025) — In the rolling hills of southern Indiana, where small towns dot the countryside and history runs deep, sits Salem. It has become a crossroads town with a courthouse square at its heart and strengthened by generations who rebuilt after every setback. Today, its brick streets and quiet neighborhoods still reflect that heritage of resilience. From this backdrop rises Ashton Thompson’s story — a third-generation racer who has carried her family’s tradition further than ever, chasing speed across the Midwest and now carving her path in the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car division with the Huntley’s Hoosier Winged Sprint Series. A Family Affair “I’m a third-generation racer,” Thompson said with a grin. “My dad told me I had to play a sport when I was six, and I chose racing. We kept it in the family.” Her father, Tyson, and grandfather, Gerald, both ran Mini Sprints on the local scene. Ashton went further, climbing from quarter midgets into Micro Sprints, Midgets, and even developmental series on pavement and road [Read More]

Goos Sweeps 45th Anniversary Sprint Special at Arlington

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (Sept. 27, 2025) — Lee Goos Jr. had a clean sweep in the 45th anniversary Sprint Car race at Arlington Raceway, winning the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Cars feature on Saturday night. Starting on the pole, he never looked back over the 25-lap distance to capture the $4,500 prize. A first-lap caution for Nate Thelen’s spin brought a quick restart. Zach Glaser passed Gunner Pike to run second until lapped traffic opened the door for Bill Johnson to take the spot, with Trevor Serbus in close pursuit. The top three sliced through traffic until lap 18, when Glaser spun off turn four and exited the race. Goos maintained command on the restart, with Serbus in second and Johnson in third. Another caution flew when Hannah Graf’s steering broke entering turn two, ending her night. On the final restart, Pike slipped past Johnson for third while Goos and Serbus pulled away in traffic. At the finish, Goos claimed the win, Serbus was second, Pike third, Johnson fourth, and Matt Johnson fifth. Brett Allen [Read More]

Probst Powers from Eighth to Hobby Stock Victory at Arlington

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (Sept. 20, 2025) — The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks stole the show with the most dramatic feature of the night at Arlington Raceway. Jonathon Schroeder’s car caught fire down the backstretch, ending his run early after the same issue plagued him in his heat. Once the smoke cleared, Mac Tollefson led the opening laps before Cory Probst charged from eighth to the front. Tollefson’s night unraveled with mechanical woes, and the battle for second fell to Brad Becker and Jordan Robinson. Robinson made the late move to secure runner-up honors behind Probst. Loverude Times It Right in Modifieds The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds saw a clean and fast main event. Jeremy Mills led the first 16 laps, but with three to go, Trent Loverude pounced. A decisive late move gave him the win in a caution-free race that left fans on their feet. Enter Charges from Ninth for SportMod Score The Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods featured three different leaders in a 20-lap shootout. Matthew Schoenke set the early pace, Joey [Read More]

Humblet Roars at the Mountain With VSS

By Jim Haines SHENANDOAH, Va. (Sept. 20, 2025) — Chris Humblet followed up last week’s Virginia Sprint Series win at Langley with another strong performance, this time charging to victory at Shenandoah Speedway. Humblet and Caleb Harris brought the field to green, with Humblet jumping out first and Caleb slotting into second. Third-starting Jerald Harris had a monster push that sent him up to the extreme high line while Humblet sped away out front. Caleb held onto second until Jerald regrouped and battled back into the runner-up spot. As the laps clicked off quickly on the pavement, Aaron Leach and then Matthew Leach worked into third and fourth while Jerald searched for a groove to challenge Humblet. But there would be no stumble this night—Humblet stayed strong to the finish and flashed under the waving checkered flag ahead of Jerald Harris and Aaron Leach.

“Kruz Missile” Kepner Hits Target with PASS Victory at Selinsgrove

By Frank Buhrman & Stephanie Dodson SELINSGROVE, Pa. (Sept. 13, 2025) — Kruz Kepner doesn’t have much time to think about anything during the 10-minute ride from his home in Kreamer, Pa., to Selinsgrove Speedway, but he had a full week to think about being wrecked twice on the opening lap last weekend and wanting to erase the memory of that awful pair of races. His thinking — and his driving — did the job. Kepner scored his second Selinsgrove win of the season and fourth overall in River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series competition Saturday night, extending his lead in both the season’s PASS points standings and those for the track. Kepner started the feature in seventh and actually slipped back on the opening lap, but he quickly began to recover. He might not have gotten all the way to the front, though, had misfortune not struck veteran John Braim. Braim, who raced and won with PASS more than a decade ago before taking an extended break, had claimed a Laurel Highlands Sprint Series victory [Read More]

Humblet Holds Off Hubbard in Virginia Sprint Series Thriller

By Jim Haines HAMPTON, Va. (Sept. 13, 2025) — Chris Humblet made changes after his heat race that proved to be the right ones, as he flew to the win at Langley Speedway with the Virginia Sprint Series. Jerald Harris and Humblet paced the field to green, with Humblet jumping out first and Harris settling into second as Billy Hubbard quickly moved into third. Humblet stayed strong out front while Harris struggled with his tire choice, allowing Hubbard to get by and set his sights on the leader. As the laps clicked off quickly on the pavement, Humblet began working traffic, and with five to go, Hubbard had closed right in. With two laps left, Hubbard made a strong charge and got within a couple of car lengths, but that was as close as he would come. Humblet flashed under the waving checkered flag for his second win of the season at Langley, with Hubbard second and Matthew Leach third.
