Maier Earns Victory in JEGS Debut at SpeedFest at Cordele


 

The JEGS / CRA All-Stars Tour, Presented by Chevrolet Performance, kicked off its 2025 season at Cordele Motor Speedway Friday night as part of the Protect Your Melon Buckle Up Speedfest. Originally slated for Saturday Afternoon, inclement weather pushed the green flag to Friday, as 26 Pro Late Models took to the track.


 

Hudson Bulger (No.17) would go quick time grabbing the Yoder Construction Co. Fast Qualifier $400 bonus and would redraw 7th. Tristan McKee (No.7) and Brandon Lopez (No.6L) would lead the field to green as the action would quickly pick up around the track. Tyler Reif (No.47) would be forced three wide forcing the pack to bunch up while Tristian McKee set sail leading the first 12 laps. 


 

The first caution would fly with Richard Land (No.34) blowing an engine and setting up a restart. Luke Baldwin (No.15) `would take the race lead and hold it for the longevity of the race. Caution would fly again on lap 17 for Carter Whalen (No.23) then again on lap 38 for front-runner Tristian McKee as his engine let loose.


 

A long green flag run would be set up as Baldwin, Bulger, and Ben Maier (No.6) sat top three. Michael Hinde and Stephen Nasse (No.51) made up positions as they ran 4th and 6th. The caution would fly on lap 78 with Aiden Potter (No.68) and Zach Johnson (No.116) spun around in turn four. Both drivers would be able to continue. On the restart, Baldwin continued to show his speed and became the favorite to win but with multiple cautions being thrown for incidents allowed Bulger and others to try new ways to gain an advantage. On lap 91 Hudson Bulger moved Luke Baldwin for the lead yet it wasn’t enough to keep the 15 away. On lap 92 the unthinkable occurred when the leaders made contact, taking each other out of contention. Baldwin would be able to continue but the speed he once had ceased to show as Bulger’s day would end.


 

A couple of cautions would fly again after restarts with single-car spins sizing up a three-lap dash for the win. Maier, Nasse, Michael Hinde (No.69), and Seth Christensen (No.54) would lead the field to green for the final time as Nasse held wheel to wheel with Maier. No driver seemed to find an advance as the white flag waved. Final time into turn two, Christensen tagged Nasse sparking the big one as Ben Maier would claim victory in the Speedfest 100.


 

Cordele lived up to the excitement once again for the JEGS / CRA All-Stars tour but the enthusiasm for the season continues to climb. The first points-paying race of the 2025 season kicks off April 19th at Toledo Speedway as a new year of action is just a couple of months away from throttling up.

Champions and Award Winners Honored at CRA Awards Ceremony

 


 

Plymouth, IN - Champions and other award winners were honored on Saturday night during the Champion Racing Association Awards Ceremony at Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Indiana.

118 different drivers were on track with the Street Stocks in 2024 which saw a diverse schedule of 12 events. Nine different drivers claimed victories on the Tour and it was August before a repeat winner was had. Taking fifth in this year’s standings, Heath Helton of Owensboro, KY won four races in a row to end the season, including two with CRA at Winchester Speedway and Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. This year’s point runner-up in the CRA Street Stocks has been racing full-time with the series since 2015. The Indianapolis driver grabbed three wins this season and only finished outside the top 10 once in 10 starts. Andrew Teepe took home the runner-up honors for the fourth time in his career. Celebrating as champion in 2024 after racing with the series full-time for a third straight year, Dalton Conner returned for a wildly consistent 2024 with 10 top 10 finishes and eight top fives.


 

Year number 19 for the Vore's Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman Powered by JEGS had eoght events, and this year, six different drivers found victory lane.  This season saw 80 competitors from all over the Midwest compete at the series events.  The 6th place point finisher is a veteran driver who ran nearly all of the events in 2024; from Richmond, IN, Kent Carson posted top tens at Anderson Speedway twice in seven starts. The fifth-place point finisher has run with the Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman since 2014. This year, Cassten Everidge  battled some adversity but put together a season with six top-10s and three top-five finishes. Logan Huckeba came back for a third season in a row, taking runner-up in the standings once again. Another solid season was had, taking one top-five with five top-tens in eight races, good enough for second in the championship standings. The 2024-point champion put together a season that included eight top 10 finishes and four top fives en route to his first title. Zach Stacy, of Edon, OH, nearly grabbed the win at the season opener at Shadybowl Speedway. 


 

2024 marked the 14th year for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars tour presented by Chevrolet Performance. This year, over 100 different teams hit the track over the course of a 14-event schedule.  At year’s end, it was a first-time JEGS Tour competitor winning his first championship with the Tour. In his first full-time season with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, Will Sahutske of Midland, MI competed in 10 events earning a top-ten finish at Winchester Speedway in October - finishing 9th in the Championship Standings. The 8th place finisher has been dabbling part-time with the series over the last few years, putting in a full season in 2024. This season, Brian Demland claimed a season’s best 9th at Winchester. Keegan Sobilo, a former Champion of the Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman Powered by JEGS, set sights on a full season with the JEGS Tour and battled for the Rookie of the Year honors in 2024. With 11 starts and three top 10 finishes, Sobilo netted 5th in the Championship Points Standings. Chase Burda, the 2023 JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance champion, returned to full-time action in 2024. A finalist in the Kulwicki Driver Development Program, the Lapeer, MI native grabbed a win at Flat Rock Speedway, three top fives, and five top 10 finishes en route to third in the 2024 Championship Standings.  2024 marked Chase Pinsonneault’s first time racing in the United States. His first career win came to the tune of $10,000 with the JEGS Tour at Owosso Speedway in the Big O Classic 100. He also posted five top-five finishes and nine top-tens en route to the runner-up finish in the JEGS Tour Championship Standings. This year’s champion, Blake Rowe, had dabbled in the ASA/CRA Super Series and was a dominant force in open-wheel modified racing prior to 2024; but made it known he wanted to be dominant in Template Late Models. In his first career JEGS Tour start, he grabbed the win and backed it up with a second win in August, plus five top-five finishes, and 11 top-10s.


 

It was the 28th year for the ASA/CRA Super Series powered by JEGS, a tour that continues to co-sanction some of the biggest Super Late Model races in the country.  In 2024, 10 Super Series sanctioned races highlighted the schedule.  In the final standings, coming up just short of taking back-to-back championships in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, Chase Burda ended the season by taking the top CRA championship.


 

Other awards were handed out Saturday night as well, including the Rookie of the Year honorees, Chase Pinsonneault, Zach Stacy, and Heath Helton. The Sunoco Race Fuels Sportsman of the Year award are voted on by series officials, and are the only ones voted on in that manner, which makes them very special. Keegan Sobilo, Cassten Everidge, and Heath Helton took home those honors on Saturday night. Finally, the Dedication Awards were handed out to teams and individuals who have displayed outstanding dedication to our sport and series. Briand Demland, Kent Carson, and Speedy Teepe were honored with these awards.

JEGS Tour Masters of the Pros to Pay $25,000 in 2025

 


 

Nashville, TN - Officials with Champion Racing Association and Owosso Speedway have announced that the 13th Annual Masters of the Pros for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance will pay $25,000 to win in 2025. The event, which returns to Owosso Speedway for the third consecutive year, will now be a 200-lap affair still boasting a $1,200 prize just to make the starting field. 


 

The 13th Annual Masters of the Pros is scheduled for Wednesday, July 16th, 2025 and is again billed as the richest Pro Late Model event in the country. In addition to the $1,200 to start, JEGS Tour regulars will also be eligible for cash bonuses through the Winner Circle Program, plus award bonuses. Again in 2025, Owosso is offering the Owosso Overtime Bonus - drivers who race in the $10,000 to win Big O Classic on Saturday, May 25th, and the Masters of the Pros will earn a bonus increasing the start money for drivers who race in both.


 

“The increased prize money carries on the Masters tradition of being the highest-paying Pro Late Model race in the country,” said Champion Racing Association Series Director, Scott Menlen. “Working with Mr. Wheeler and his staff to move this race to a Wednesday allows Pro Late Model teams from across the country the opportunity to participate in this event without hindering other series or track events.” 


 

The history of the Masters of the Pros is storied, with some of racing’s biggest names finding victory lane. NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Chase Elliott won the inaugural JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Masters of the Pros at I-44 in 2013. Anderson Bowen won in 2014 before NASCAR regular, John Hunter Nemechek scored back-to-back wins in 2015 and ’16. Cole Williams claimed the green jacket at the final Masters at I-44 in 2017. Senoia, Georgia’s Bubba Pollard won the Masters of the Pros at Birch Run Speedway in 2018 and again in 2019 at Memphis International. Matt Craig earned a guitar and a green jacket in the Music City in 2020. Willie Allen laid claim to the two most recent Nashville Masters victories before Chase Burda’s triumph in 2023.


 

Last season, the Masters of the Pros saw one of the most dramatic finishes in the event’s history and of the 2024 JEGS Tour season. With two laps to go, defending Champion of the Series and of the race, Chase Burda was fighting with eventual JEGS Tour Champion, Blake Rowe for the top spot. Rowe, who had raced his way back to the front of the field after a Choose Cone Violation, was playing defense in his No.71 with Burda seemingly having the better car. With two laps to go, the pair made contact into turn one sending Rowe out of the groove. In turns three and four, the pair came together again, resulting in Burda spinning and Rowe being sent to the tail with the No.18 for his involvement in the caution. Dawson Sutton went on to win the race, his first with the JEGS Tour and third for Rackley Racing.

Nashville, TN - Officials with Champion Racing Association and Whittemore Speedway have announced that the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance will return to Whittemore Speedway for the 4th Up North 104 on Saturday, July 5th, 2025. Last season, the JEGS Tour made its Whittemore Speedway debut with an ultra-competitive field of cars and a packed grandstand of fans left in awe after a memorable showdown between event winner Steven Ulman and JEGS Tour regular, Brandon Varney. After the fireworks on track went out, race fans and community members were treated to a spectacular fireworks display to celebrate the Nation’s Independence.


 

Mother Nature even wanted to attend last year’s 4th Up North 104 at Whittemore Speedway, with a stray pop-up shower washing away qualifying. After the field was lined up by championship points, Chase Pinsonneault and Blake Rowe brought the field to green. The race was slowed six times amid the 104 laps, including a brief delay for another stray shower. However, cars never left the race track, and the green was displayed again quickly. Rowe led the opening 91 laps before he and Chase Burda made contact sending Rowe for a spin off the backstretch. On the restart, Steven Ulman, who had used the outside of the race track to come from 12th on the grid, inherited the lead and held off a determined charge from Brandon Varney in the closing laps. Ulman grabbed the win and went to JEGS Tour Victory Lane to a massive ovation from the fans in attendance. 


 

Whittemore Speedway Board President, Andy Hess says Whittemore Speedway is excited to bring the JEGS Tour back in 2025, expecting significant growth for the event in year number two.


 

“4th of July [weekend] is always big for us,” said Hess. “I think we’ll see an ever bigger crowd next year if weather isn’t a factor like it was last year.”


 

Hess says that fans should expect even more competitors for the 2025 4th Up North 104, with some drivers holding reservations on the Speedway when it appeared on the calendar for the JEGS Tour.


 

“Last year we had a really competitive race,” recalled Hess. “Now that [other teams] see how the track races - that it can race two wide I’d expect us to have an even bigger car count next year.”


 

Fans and teams alike plan a weekend vacation around the 4th Up North 104 thanks to Whittemore Speedway’s proximity to many of the things that highlight Pure Michigan.


 

“We have so much water around Whittemore,” commented Hess. “With Lake Huron, the Au Sable River, inland lakes and rivers - camping and cottages are a big part of the race fan community for us. This year, with the 4th of July being on Friday, race fans and teams can watch fireworks from the communities around Whittemore. Then, on Saturday night, they can watch the fireworks at the track.”

Nashville, TN - Officials with Champion Racing Association have released the details of the 2025 schedule of events for the ASA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS. The schedule again welcomes the ASA STARS National Tour as a co-sanction partner to many of the staple events of the ASA/CRA Super Series history, plus a first-time visit in April and return visits to new staples on the calendar.

The season begins in January again for the non-points special at Cordele Motor Speedway for Speedfest 2025. Last season, Bubba Pollard played strategy to his favor, working his way through traffic late to collect the win over Stephen Nasse and eventual ASA STARS National Tour Champion, Casey Roderick.The Speedfest 150 returns on Saturday, January 18th.

The ASA/CRA Super Series will make an inaugural trip to Dominion Raceway on Saturday, April 5th alongside the ASA STARS National Tour. Dominion Raceway & Entertainment is a multipurpose facility located on “America’s Main Street”, I-95 at exit 118 between Washington DC and Richmond, VA. In addition to a circle track, the facility also houses a road course and drag strip. Dominion Raceway’s Oval Track measures 4/10ths of a mile and includes uniform banking.  The track is designed to enable excellent side-by-side racing at all locations and will give its competitors “equal” opportunity in both low and high grooves.

On Saturday, May 3rd the Series returns to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway for the annual North/South Super Late Model Challenge. The $ 10,000-to-win affair is co-sanctioned again by the ASA/Southern Super Series with support from the regular Pro Late Model division at America’s Favorite Short Track. Last season, Roderick got the best of Nasse and Pollard by nearly two seconds for the win.

The ASA/CRA Super Series returns to the Midwest on Saturday, June 21st for a return trip to Flat Rock Speedway. Chase Burda won the co-sanctioned event with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour in 2024 en route to his first career ASA/CRA Super Series Championship. In 2025, drivers will find a new racing surface at Flat Rock Speedway. 

Anderson Speedway and the Redbud 400 are back on the ASA/CRA Super Series schedule once again. Saturday, July 26th the field will try to tackle one of the tightest tracks on the circuit. Canadians have held the honor of Redbud 400 Champion the last two years with Cole Butcher winning the race in 2023 and Kyle Steckly taking the honors in 2024.

The only midday event of the season unfolds on Wednesday, August 20th at Owosso Speedway for the Michigan 300.

Chandler Smith dominated the event, leading the final 37 laps collecting the win by nearly four seconds over Austin Nason and Gavan Boschele. 

The Series welcomes back the ASA STARS National Tour for another co-sanctioned event on Saturday, September 13th at Toledo Speedway for the Glass City 200 - won by Casey Roderick in 2024.

Finally, the 2025 season will close out in traditional fashion on Sunday, October 12th with the 54th Running of the Winchester 400.
