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.

Hibdon Storms to Jamestown Victory in Dakota Classic Modified Tour Opener

By Ben Deatherage JAMESTOWN, N.D. (Jul. 5, 2025) — Kollin Hibdon used the high side of Jamestown Speedway to perfection to score the opening night victory of the 2025 Wolla Trucking Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric. The Pahrump, Nevada, native led the final 23 circuits of the 30-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature to earn his second career tour win at Jamestown, fourth career Dakota Tour triumph, sixth win of the season overall, and fifth in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Justin O’Brien grabbed the early lead before a lap four caution reset the field. Hibdon quickly went to work on the top groove, charging to the point on lap seven. Another caution on lap 12 gave defending tour champion Ethan Braaksma a shot at Hibdon, and he put the Danny Meier and Trent Guest-owned No. 111 into second on the restart. But Hibdon was consistently strong up top and never faltered, even while navigating lapped traffic. Braaksma would finish second with early leader O’Brien ending the night third.

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (Jul. 4, 2025) — The $1,300 dollar first place prize money drew an excellent field of very talented Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds to the 4/10th mile dirt track CJ Speedway located on the Louisa County Fairgrounds.
