Hogge Gets Ocean Modified Win in Final Turn Thriller

By Steven Blakesley WATSONVILLE, Calif. (Aug. 2, 2025) — Bobby Hogge of Salinas extended his points lead in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds at Ocean Speedway, leading only the final corner for a thrilling victory in the 25-lap feature. Nevada’s Kaetlyn Robertson held off numerous challenges from Jacob Mallet Jr., withstanding the pressure to lead the first 13 laps of competition. Robert Marsh then drove past Mallet into second and took the lead from Robertson on lap 14. Hogge, who started seventh, followed Marsh through the field to take over the second spot. The duo ran nose to tail for the final 11 circuits. Marsh was slowed by lapped traffic coming into turn three on the final lap, allowing Hogge to dive underneath and steal the win out of turn four. The dramatic finish gave Hogge his sixth win of the year at the Watsonville ¼-mile and his ninth in the Shaw Race Cars Western Region in 2025. Mallet finished third.
