Horton Survives Chaos to Win Second Sprint Feature of Season at Eagle

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Jul. 5, 2025) — The RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature at Eagle Raceway on Saturday night had multiple red flags and hard-fought battles throughout. Cameron Thompson backed it into the wall on the original start, and the restart saw Cole Wayman collect John Klabunde. Tadd Holliman led early over Justin Bolte, Alex Davenport, and Brandon Horton. Cole Vanderheiden climbed to second by lap 11, then attempted a slide job that sent Holliman into the wall, destroying his car. On the restart, fuel spills from Nate Weiler caused another delay. When the race resumed, Horton led Vanderheiden, Adam Gullion, and Bolte. Gullion flipped on the final restart after contact with Billy Alley, triggering the time-limit rule and ending the race. Horton was declared the winner—his second Racesaver Sprint Car win of the season, both coming at Eagle. Vanderheiden was second and Zachary Patterson third.

Humblet Takes Flight With VSS at Langley

By Jim Haines HAMPTON, Va. (July 5, 2025) — With Air Force jets screaming overhead from the base next door, Chris Humblet flipped on his own afterburner just past halfway to soar to victory with the Virginia Sprint Series Saturday evening at Langley Speedway. Matt Mullins and Bill Mullis led the field to green with Mullins jumping out front early while Mullis settled into second. Mullins kept up the pace with Mullis close behind, as Aaron Leach moved into third and Chris Humblet worked his way to fourth, followed by Jerald Harris in fifth. As laps clicked off quickly on the pavement, both Humblet and Harris steadily climbed the leaderboard. Just past halfway, Humblet made his move, sliding low to take the lead. Harris followed suit, slipping under Mullins for second and setting his sights on the new leader. With the front two breaking away from the field, Mullins held on to third. But there was no catching Humblet. Smooth and fast, he charged under the waving checkered flag for his first win of the season. [Read More]

Sweigart Breaks Record with Third KRC Win At Port Royal

By Frank Buhrman PORT ROYAL, Pa. (Jun. 28, 2025) — “Nitro” Nick Sweigart has made no secret of his 2025 goals revolving around Port Royal Speedway, and he checked a big one off his list Saturday in the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series Keystone RaceSaver Challenge, becoming the first driver to win the Port Royal Speedway classic three times. Sweigart, from Myerstown, led the 14th annual KRC feature nearly all the way, but a furious challenge from runner-up Christian Rumsey of New York turned the last four laps into a lead-swapping race for the ages. When the top two encountered slower traffic on lap 17, it looked like Sweigart’s lead was far too great for that factor to make any difference, but Rumsey found something that helped him slice off large chunks of the margin in the third and fourth turns, and with four to go he slipped underneath Sweigart and into the lead. Undaunted, Sweigart came back exiting turn four, and for the next two laps the lead switched hands a couple more times before [Read More]

Andersen Slices Through the Field for Modified Glory at Eagle

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Jun. 28, 2025) — Chad Andersen was on a mission in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Eagle Raceway. Cameron Thompson led the opening circuits with Tyler Harr close behind, but all eyes were on Andersen, who steadily picked off cars one by one. He cracked the top three by lap five and slipped into second a few laps later. By lap 12, he powered around Thompson for the lead and immediately began to stretch it out. From there, Andersen hit his marks and left the rest of the field to battle behind him. Harr gave chase but never closed the gap as the laps clicked off. Thompson stayed solid in third to round out the podium. The win marked Andersen’s second of the season at Eagle and in the Jet Racing Central Region column. Richards Rallies Late for Fourth Stock Car Win The Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature turned into a mid-race slugfest, and Mason Richards was up for the challenge.

Oliver Ties All-Time Wins Record with Clutch Victory in his Home State

By Evan McCrory TOCCOA, Ga. (Jun. 21, 2025) — The Carolina Sprint Tour presented by GSR Chassis wrapped up a sizzling doubleheader weekend under the summer sun on Saturday, June 21st, at the high-banked Toccoa Speedway in Northeast Georgia. With temperatures soaring and competition heating up, a dozen RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Cars signed in to do battle on the lightning-fast red clay oval. Following a redraw, Jeff Oliver and Jake McLain shared the front row for the main event. Oliver jumped to the early lead and controlled the pace for most of the race, expertly navigating traffic and fending off challenges from a hungry field behind him. Drama struck on lap 20 when Matthew Wall slowed with mechanical issues, drawing a caution and bunching up the field for a final dash to the checkered flag. On the restart, the Pendergrass pilot held off heavy pressure from Jadan Bowling from North Carolina and South Carolina’s John Frutchey to score his second win of the season and 21st career victory, tying him with Jake McLain for the all-time [Read More]
