Star-Studded Field Set for Michigan 300 at Owosso Speedway

Full Entry List Here

Owosso, MI – The Michigan 300 is set to deliver one of the most competitive fields of the 2025 season, as 25 Super Late Model drivers prepare to battle for ASA STARS National Tour glory at Owosso Speedway on Wednesday, August 20. The midweek classic will bring together a mix of NASCAR stars, short track veterans, and rising young talent for 300 laps on the challenging .375-mile oval.

Headlining the entry list are NASCAR Cup Series drivers Erik Jones, Noah Gragson, and home-state favorite Carson Hocevar, each returning to their short track roots for a shot at one of the ASA STARS National Tour events.

Current Series Point Leader Cole Butcher will look to add another major win to his resume, while short track legends Bubba Pollard, Stephen Nasse, and Derek Thorn bring their big-race expertise to Michigan. West Coast standouts Kole Raz and Kasey Kleyn will look to take on Canadian young guns Kyle Steckly and Chase Pinsonneault.

Wisconsin will be well-represented with veterans Johnny Sauter, Derek Kraus, and Gabe Sommers, each capable of contending for the win. From Illinois, Austin Nason brings his 14 machine to the 300-lap showdown.

The event also features an exciting rookie class, including Gavan Boschele, George Phillips, Carson Brown, Ty Fredrickson, and Dawson Sutton.

Michigan’s own Blake Rowe, Steven Ulman and Will Sahutske will have plenty of home state support while Albert Francis, and Gabrielle Grigsby round out the competitive field.

The Michigan 300 marks a return to ASA history at Owosso Speedway. The original ASA National Tour featured legendary winners at the Michigan oval, including Canadian star Junior Hanley (1977), Randy Sweet (1978), and Mike Eddy (1979). The ASA STARS National Tour made its return to the track in 2024, where Chandler Smith took the checkered flag.

From there, he graduated to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, racking up 13 victories and contending for the series title before advancing to NASCAR’s top level.

Gragson's short track roots and passion for grassroots racing make his appearance in the ASA STARS National Tour a must-watch event for fans across the Midwest. He’ll take on some of the top pavement super late model talent in the country in what promises to be one of the most competitive events of the summer.

Michigan NASCAR drivers Erik Jones and Carson Hocevar are set for one of Wisconsin’s biggest short-track races

  • NASCAR Cup Series drivers Erik Jones and Carson Hocevar will race in the Gandrud Auto Group 250 at Wisconsin International Raceway.

  • The Gandrud 250 is one of Wisconsin's most prestigious super late model races.

  • Ty Majeski, the reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, has won the event five of the past six years.

In a season without a NASCAR national race of any type in Wisconsin, two Michigan-born Cup Series drivers have found an excuse to race in the Badger state.

Days after three-time Cup race winner Erik Jones threw his hat in the ring for the $15,000-to-win Aug. 5 Gandrud Auto Group 250 at Wisconsin International Raceway, Carson Hocevar added his name to the entry list, the ASA Midwest Tour announced July 31.

Both drivers have competed previously at the rugged, D-shaped half-mile in the 250, one of the state’s most prestigious and lucrative super late model events, and also its longest.

About Super Cup Stock Car Series It is with great excitement that we announce the formation of the highly anticipated SuperCup Stock Car Series (SCSCS).  This series will feature former Hooter's ProCup Steel bodied stock cars that competed from 2001-2006.  The new series recently competed in two exhibition races in 2007 at both Hickory Motor Speedway and Tri-County Motor Speedway in NC.  Both races were very competitive and featured a glimpse of the anticipated competition in 2008.


 

 


 

SUPER SOUTHERN SERIES

 

www.southernsuperseries.com

The American Speed Association (ASA) is a sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States formed in 1968. The Association was based in Pendleton, Indiana, and later in Daytona Beach, Florida. The ASA sanctioned asphalt and dirt tracks in their ASA Member Track program along with racing series in the United States and Canada.


 

Ona, West Virginia (August 4, 2025) – The winning battles and range of emotions from the long-awaited Super Cup Stock Car Series return to Ona Speedway did not disappoint the impressive turnout of fans in attendance for Putnam County Bank Throwback Night.

 

The first points acquired during the Saturday filled with warm but pleasant West Virginia weather were by a first-time Pole Award winner.  In his 20th try as a driver dating back to the inaugural season in 2008, “ShoTime” Mike from Denver, North Carolina achieved a new SCSCS track record of 18.198 seconds, nearly a full second quicker than the prior mark, as to be expected by the new patches of asphalt put down recently around the 0.438-mile oval and different tire compounds since the last visit in 2013.

 

Attrition unfortunately turned out to be the name of the game for some equipment in the field on hand, the first sidelining local favorite Jeremy Cooper’s SCSCS debut following the initial practice session when the No. 57 Velocita-USA / Nitro Construction Services / Patriot Meat / Ashton Racing Chevrolet encountered issues under the hood.

 

The redraw from qualifying saw two-time previous Ona starter Brent Nelson start out front, but it was “ShoTime” Mike getting the advantage from the outside by the time the roar of full-bodied stock cars came around to complete lap one.  JJ Pack, making his first series appearance in nearly two years, had a throwback ride of his own with the No. 6 IceBoxx Customs / JPR Ford closely resembling that of Mark Martin’s 1990s NASCAR Cup Series campaign.  He was competitively pressuring Nelson for second place until trouble struck for the No. 80 Precision Auto Collision / JEBCO / QH Design / RAM Trucking / Snap-On Tools / Nelson Motorsports Chevrolet on the ninth circuit of the 40-lap distance.

 

Smoke billowed from the rear of the Petersburg, West Virginia driver’s machine and went pit side for the remainder of the night, further setting back efforts for a defense of his SCSCS title a year ago.  On the restart, Pack continued searching high and low for any chance he could to capitalize in his pursuit for the top spot.  “ShoTime” Mike held off every single one of those attempts to claim his first series victory in a little over 10 years.

 

“JJ is a tough competitor,” “ShoTime” Mike noted.  “He raced me absolutely clean.  I wasn’t giving him anything.  I hugged the bottom for 40 laps.  If JJ was passing me, he was going to have to go the hard way, and he was a real pro.  Never felt him.  I expected to feel him a couple times, and never did.  Late in the race I got a little bit tight and started to open up the bottom, but he was still a professional gentleman.”

 

It was an emotional win for “ShoTime” Mike, who would have sat out the most recently scheduled Veterans Classic event at Shenandoah if it had not been postponed due to rain.

 

“It’s been a real tough month, working on cars,” “ShoTime” Mike continued.  “Had a lot of things not go my way.  A lot of my family I did this racing with, but my son Jamie, my right-hand man in the Hooters Pro Cup deal and Super Cup and all that stuff.  We lost him almost seven years ago today.  I miss him so much.  I dedicate this race to Jamie for all that he has done for me.  I used to tell Jamie all the time, this business is 90% work and 10% fun and he said ‘dad, when am I ever going to see the 10% fun.’  It’s here; it just comes far and few between.”

 

Following “ShoTime” Mike to the stripe was Pack with points leader Mitch Gibson finishing third, and Bill Ashton and Larry Frame rounding out the top five.

 

“I was making a couple moves on Mike, trying to see if I could peek on the outside of him,” Pack from Midland, Virginia said.  “Each time I tried to go on the outside I felt like I couldn’t get it to stick up there.  I just kept trying to bide my time, see if I could catch him off guard.  He held the bottom really well.”

 

Sadly, Pack’s evening was over prior to getting to the next main event’s green flag, but considering the circumstances it was a valiant runner-up.

 

“Engine was running a little flat too,” the 2014 SCSCS champion indicated.  “We lost a cylinder when a spark plug wire came off, so I was overdriving it for that reason.  With two laps to go, I ended up breaking a lower front control arm on the right side, which put us basically out to try and win the race.”

 

“ShoTime” Mike hinted at contemplating retiring immediately after victory lane ceremonies concluded but ultimately decided on coming back for the next one.  Despite some of the outcomes being the same as the first, the story was definitely different.

 

Gibson redrew the pole, but yet again “ShoTime” Mike was able to get out front on the opening lap.  Almost all of the next 39 laps was a tooth and nail battle from the eyes of the fans in the stands with the No. 2 Eric Barber Enterprises Chevrolet yet again persevering for the win.

 

Nevertheless, the tone had certainly changed during this victory lane interview and celebration.

 

“Had a great first race; raced with some people that respect one another,” “ShoTime” Mike commented.  “I was warned about the 35 car, because he’s had issues with some of our other competitors.  He banged on me three times and knocked me sideways in three and four, because he doesn’t have enough talent to pass on the outside.  I left him the outside for 40 laps and he never went there.  We don’t race like that here in Super Cup.  But anyhow, we pulled it off, I was able to save it, collected it up, back-to-back wins, swept the night.  What a joyous night for me.”

 

Ona Speedway’s history of stock car racing dates back to the 1960s, in which “The King” Richard Petty won on a few occasions.  “ShoTime” Mike mentioned earlier in the day that one of the signature bucket hats he wore in the past was in the infamous shade of the No. 43 cars for decades and expanded upon that about the series he raced in when he won a Rookie of the Year award back in 1983 and went by a different nickname at the time.

 

“My ASA cars used to have a Petty blue chassis.  It was a shade off.  We called it ‘Muttly’ blue.  Enough said about that.”

 

Uniontown, Pennsylvania’s Ashton accomplished a podium result behind Gibson in the No. 44 Good Frames, LLC / Ashton Racing Ford that Ben Ebeling won both races in at the season opener at Kingsport Speedway.  Yellow Spring, West Virginia’s Frame made it to his goal of seeing both checkered flags, concluding with a fourth-place finish in his No. 80x Precision Auto Collision / Nelson Motorsports Chevrolet and moves up to fifth in the season-long standings.  Eric Barber, celebrating his birthday weekend at the track closest to his home in Parkersburg, West Virginia, had some struggles with the No. 83 WeAreJ6.com / Eric Barber Enterprises Chevrolet but was credited with rounding out the top five and remains fourth in points.

 

Gibson had a rollercoaster of an experience that included all hands on deck, including help from fellow racer Barber, fine tuning on the No. 35 Moyer Brothers Company / LDW Technologies / Superior Welding / 1500channels.com / Jeffrey Salyers Realty / Trevor’s Life / Ashton Racing Ford.  He went on to describe that process as well as his perspective trying to get to first in the second Putnam County Bank Throwback Classic Twin 40.

 

“We went with the wrong gear to start the day,” the Weyers Cave, Virginia resident explained.  “After qualifying we changed to a better gear and it sure showed in the second one.  Pretty much got blocked the whole second race.  I think I got to the guy’s bumper four or five times, could have moved him and turned him sideways a couple times, and didn’t do it.”

 

With Nelson’s misfortune, Gibson expanded his advantage but “ShoTime” Mike now sits second, a total of 44 back with the bonus points earned from leading both races flag-to-flag.  Gibson remains confident heading into the next event a few weeks away.

 

“Good points day for us, overall,” the winner at his home track Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park in June added.  “We extended our points lead (on Nelson) so that’s a good thing.  Going to Shenandoah, of course we went there and practiced.  I feel really good about that.  We’re going to pull our car down again after this race and get the speed out of it again.  Tonight was a guessing game, but Shenandoah is not.  We’ll get it right.”

 

The Super Cup Stock Car Series drivers and teams will now race for the prestigious Veterans Classic trophies on Saturday, August 30th.  Series officials are additionally working on details regarding how the 2025 season will be closed out with more information to be released soon.

Statesville, North Carolina (July 31, 2025) – Ona Speedway has documented its share of history.  Constructed in 1962, West Virginia’s only remaining pavement short track hosted the NASCAR Cup Series with drivers Fred Lorenzon and “The King” Richard Petty finding their way to victory lane.  The famous television personality Dick Clark even partly owned the facility, located between Huntington and the state capital Charleston, later that decade.

 

The venue, measured at 0.438-mile and described as a slightly-banked oval, played a pivotal role in the early years of the Super Cup Stock Car Series as well. Five of its first six years included an annual visit to the Mountain State.  After a dozen year hiatus and another nearly two months of waiting due to rain back in June, the drivers and teams of 2025 are eager to take to the surface, which was partly repaved only months ago.

 

The list is slim of current racers that competed at Ona more than a decade ago, but the ones that did will look to jog some of the memories they had.  Brent Nelson had favorable results in his two starts there, climbing from outside the top 10 to finish in the top five each time to achieve Hard Charger honors.  Since then, the Petersburg, West Virginia driver has won on 25 occasions and is the defending season champion yet is searching for his first win of the year, potentially in familiar territory.

 

2014 series champion JJ Pack is scheduled to make his first appearance of 2025 in a paint scheme that longtime stock car racing fans will recognize.  The Midland, Virginia competitor has one previous start at Ona, performing consistently inside the top five during the 2012 running before eventually finishing in ninth.

 

Among the drivers that have never seen the speedway, which has some interesting scenery in the form of a privately-owned Airpark built adjacent to it in the late 1980s, includes the current series points leader.  Coming off a triumph in the last completed SCSCS main event, Mitch Gibson from Weyers Cave, Virginia optimistically hopes to keep such a moment going into this weekend.

 

A pair of additional names are anxious to race with the series in their home state for the first time.  Yellow Spring’s Larry Frame was 2024’s rookie of the year and will be leaning on the expertise that the aforementioned Nelson has at Ona.  Parkersburg’s Eric Barber has attended as a spectator and crew member in the past but will turn his first laps at what could be considered his home track on what will be his birthday weekend.  Both drivers are looking to turn around their slower start to 2025.

 

Uniontown, Pennsylvania’s Bill Ashton returns behind the wheel at a track that, although sized slightly smaller and differently, bears some resemblance configuration-wise to his home track of Jennerstown Speedway where he secured a SCSCS victory in 2016.  At least a couple more surprises, ones that may or may not have previous Ona experience, are expected within Saturday’s field.

 

Plenty of excitement is ahead at Ona Speedway for Putnam County Bank Throwback Night.  General admission will be $15 with kids 12 and under admitted free when spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m.  Following what could be a fast session of qualifying on some of the new asphalt where the current series track record of 19.145 seconds could be in jeopardy, racing will commence at 6:30 p.m. beginning with “Juice Box” features for the kids and then the first of twin 40-lap main events for the Super Cup Stock Car Series.

 

In addition to the early afternoon sessions scheduled on race day, there is an optional practice being offered on Friday from 5:00 p.m. until 8:15 p.m. at $25 per car and $10 per person.

 

More information can be found on the Super Cup Stock Car Series official web site supercupstockcarseries.com with interactive updates throughout race days and in between available on Facebook (search Super Cup Stock Car Series), Twitter (@SCSCSRacing), Instagram (SCSCS_Racing), and https://www.youtube.com/SCSCSRacing.

The ASA Midwest Tour (until 2022: ARCA Midwest Tour) is a pavement Super Late Model auto racing series based in the Midwestern United States with its headquarters in Oregon, Wisconsin.[1] It was a developmental series of the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA), and currently of the American Speed Association, along with the CRA Super Series.[1]


Ty Fredrickson Flies To Wayne Carter Classic Victory at Grundy

 

 

By: Kevin Ramsell

(Morris, IL) - Ty Fredrickson’s young super late model career can finally check off another box, a victory in the ASA Midwest Tour by winning the 37th running of the Wayne Carter Classic 100 at Grundy County Speedway.


 

The 16-year-old from Webster, MN got by two-time defending ASAMT champion Gabe Sommers on lap 39 and held off challenges on restarts to get his ASAMT victory in his 16th start.


 

“Oh, yeah, it was really good. We unloaded off the trailer really good,” Fredrickson said in victory lane. “We just made some minor tweaks to the setup, and it showed that the setup changes were good, and I'm glad to finally get a win in the Midwest tour.”


 

The key to victory for Fredrickson was getting a good jump on the outside on the many restarts in the caution-filled race. Each restart, he would get a good launch off of turn two to get at least a one-car lead heading into turn three.


 

“Yeah, those restarts were getting old,” Fredrickson said with a chuckle. “I was ready for a green flag run, but, yeah, the car's really good. I don't know, this place is fun.


 

“We led a bunch of labs at the Dixieland, and now we won this one, so really awesome.”


 

Ricky Baker, 2017 Wayne Carter Classic winner, made the charge to the front from his ninth starting spot and got by Sommers on the last lap to secure a second-place finish.


 

“Cody Glick, and everybody at Hamke, along with Jeff Cannon at FRS Shocks, have been helping me out a lot the last four or five weeks. We really got the car going,” Baker said after the race. ”I think I just used it up a little bit too much in the beginning, trying to get track position, but these kids can... these kids can wield some race cars, huh?”


 

Sommers had a good points night as he was able to cut into Casey Johnson’s point lead with three races to go in the season. Sommers finished third while Johnson held on to a seventh-place finish.


 

“Yeah, the 36 was really good. They did a good job here today. Just a struggle a little bit, one and two,” Sommers said. “Just couldn't get in there like I wanted to, and I just didn't have enough. But congrats to Ty, they had a really good car. It was a really good race.”


 

Max Kahler, defending Jim Sauter Classic 200 winner, had a strong run to finish fourth while Levon Van Der Geest finished fifth. 


 

Defending two-time Wayne Carter Classic winner Paul Shafer Jr. set a new track record in qualifying. In fact, the top five qualified under the track record set by James Lynch in 2023.


 

Ty Fredrickson becomes the 54th different winner in the history of the ASA Midwest Tour.


 

The ASAMT will be back in action on Saturday, August 30th for the Jim Sauter Classic 200 at Dells Raceway Park in Wisconsin Dells, WI. This will be the 200th event in the history of the ASA Midwest Tour.

Fenhaus Flies to Gandrud Auto Group 250 Victory at WIR

 

By: Kevin Ramsell

(Kaukauna, WI) - Luke Fenhaus has won some big short track events in his career, and tonight he added the ASA Midwest Tour’s Gandrud Auto Group 250 victory to his impressive racing resume along with a $15,000 payday.


 

The Wausau, WI driver, who drives part-time for ThorSports #66 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, battled with defending two-time ASAMT champion Gabe Sommers on a restart with 10 laps to go and pulled away to the victory.


 

“Yeah, it means a lot, you know, this race is definitely one on my bucket list, and it was really the only one in Wisconsin on my bucket list this year,” Fenhaus said after the victory. “After the Slinger Nationals in 2021, I've always wanted to win this one. So this is a big one for us.”


 

Sommers would heavily challenge Fenhaus for a few laps by trying to loosen him up coming out of turn four. With 11 laps to go, Sommers would get back on the inside of Fenhaus, but a lap later, Fenhaus would pull away from Sommers and get the win.


 

“It seemed like every time Gabe went, he could spin it off of four, off that hump, and I just knew, you know, over the past couple of years that it could happen. I lost this race due to a restart,” Fenhaus explained. “So I knew not to spin my tires, and I felt like I got a good restart. I didn’t spin the tires, and then just was really slow for the first lap, took a lap or two, even three laps to get the speed rolling in this number four car, and then once it was rolling, I could be in a drive away a little bit, but yeah, it was difficult. I mean, Gabe was probably one of the best, if not the best car at the end. And it was tough to hang with him for a while, but yeah, it was just consistency.”  


 

After his battle with Fenhaus, Sommers would get passed by Austin Nason, Derek Kraus, Carson Hocevar, and John DeAngelis Jr. in the closing laps and finish sixth.


 

After the race, Hocevar’s car was disqualified for having his axle diameter too small, allowing DeAngelis to finish fourth and Sommers to finish fifth.


 

Nason had one of his best runs of the season with his second-place finish. 


 

“We took tires really early, and those guys wanted to run hard, and I knew we still needed something for the end there, and it kind of showed,” Nason said. “I mean, we just couldn't fire off quick enough to keep up with the guys, and then once we got that long run, I was really able to start picking them off. But the 4 (Fenhaus) and the 15 (Sommers) are gone by that time. And like I said, we fired off on that restart, and I was able to get by the 15. But, like I said, it just took me five, six laps to really get going and get back in rhythm and make sure the thing was good.”


 

Kraus, who got a victory earlier this year in the ASA STARS National Tour event in Kingsport, TN, was satisfied with a podium finish after his previous luck in this race.


 

“We had a good run tonight, for sure,” Kraus said. “I feel like we just took our tires a little bit too late. So once we got trapped back in 16th, 17th, wherever we were, I was like, this ain't going to be good. So, we got through the field as best we could, but I also got through the field we burnt our stuff in the process.”


 

Expect the points battle for the ASAMT championship to tighten up after tonight’s event. 


 

Current ASAMT point leader Casey Johnson came into the 250 with a 52-point lead over Sommers. Johnson fell out on lap 46 with overheating issues.


 

The ASA Midwest Tour is back in action on Saturday, August 16th, with the Wayne Carter Classic 100 presented by Rod Baker Ford & D’Arcy Chevrolet at Grundy County Speedway in Morris, IL. Tickets are on sale now at midwesttour.racing.
