Kevin Harvick Named Grand Marshal For Ross & Witmer 255

NEWTON, NC — NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick will return to his short track roots in a special way this spring, as he has been named Grand Marshal for the “Ross & Witmer 255” at Hickory Motor Speedway on Thursday, May 22. The event serves as the fourth race of the 2025 season for the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour, co-sanctioned with the ASA Southern Super Series.


 

Harvick’s appearance adds star power to what is already shaping up to be one of the premier mid-week racing showcases of the year, just days before the NASCAR Memorial Day Weekend festivities at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Harvick’s son, Keelan, will be competing in the Legend car division at the Hickory event, where he claimed the win one year ago.


 

A 2014 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Harvick’s career is marked by both longevity and dominance. Over the course of his Cup Series tenure, he amassed 60 career victories, ranking him among the top 10 all-time winners in NASCAR’s premier division. Harvick also scored two NASCAR Xfinity Series championships and totaled over 100 wins across NASCAR’s top three national touring series. Known as one of the sport’s most respected and media-savvy veterans, his presence at Hickory continues his deep-rooted connection to grassroots motorsports.

Anderson Speedway on Tap for JEGS Tour Saturday

Anderson, IN - The 2025 season continues Saturday for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance at Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana. The only stop at Anderson this season, and one of just two trips to Indiana for 2025 features the Great Deals 100 at the famed quarter-mile oval. Host site to the ASA/CRA Super Series’ Redbud 400 and Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman Madison County 200, Saturday’s Great Deals 100 is a rare chance for Pro Late Models to contest the central Indiana Speedway.


 

In 2024, multi-time JEGS Tour Champion and leader of the All-Time Wins List, Cody Coughlin, went to Victory Lane. Leading 81 of the 100 laps after starting fourth, Coughlin held off eventual JEGS Tour Champion, Blake Rowe for the win. Brett Robinson, Charlie Keeven, and Barrett Polhemus rounded out the top five in a race that only Coughlin and Rowe paced the field.


 

Saturday, the potential exists for a brand new winner on the JEGS Tour. Longtime JEGS Tour racer, Jimmy Tucker is back after a motor issue sidelined him at Toledo Speedway during the season opener on April 19th. Second-generation driver, Billy VanMeter is also eyeing his first career win at his hometown track. The Indianapolis, IN native has watched his father, Eddie VanMeter go to victory lane at Anderson and hopes to do the same with his No.23. 


 

In his second season with the JEGS Tour, Keegan Sobilo is also in search of his first career win. The New Baltimore, MI native cut his teeth on the short tracks in Michigan, which could give him an upper hand at Anderson. Last year, Sobilo was caught up in an early race accident. Chris Shannon, who has taken his No.32 to other CRA sanctioned wins, is looking to add a mark in the JEGS Tour win column on Saturday. Other hopefuls include Anderson regular, JP Crabtree; Ryder VanAlst, son of former ASA/CRA Super Series Champion, Greg VanAlst, will make his JEGS Tour debut on Saturday. 


 

The Great Deals 100 for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance is Saturday, May 10th at Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana. Tickets are available at the gate on race day. Racing begins at 7:30 PM. Fans who can’t make the trip can watch the race on TrackTv.com or at RacingAmerica.Tv.

super cup stock car series

www.superstockcarseries.com

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.

 

 

SCSCS to Put On a Show in Appreciation for the Fans at Lonesome Pine

 

Statesville, North Carolina (May 29, 2025) – Following an earlier in the month rainout, Fan Appreciation Night will bring back the Super Cup Stock Car Series for another invite to Coeburn, Virginia.  Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park has played host the past two seasons as well as some memorable races in the mid-2010s and each of the first three years of the series’ existence.

 

The most familiar among the local spectators may be a driver that does not have any past SCSCS starts at the 3/8-mile oval but has many laps of competition there.  Mitch Gibson grew up in Coeburn, Virginia, involved in racing as a teenager assisting as a crew member for various nearby teams such as Henderson Motorsports, Morgan-McClure Motorsports, and former NASCAR Xfinity Series rookie of the year Danny O’Quinn during his time in the Pro Cup Series.  The experience gained culminated with a Late Model championship in the driver seat at his home track during their 2022 season.  Gibson finished second in one of the races during his SCSCS debut weekend at Kingsport Speedway, putting him third in the current standings early on, and would like nothing more than to break into victory lane in front of friends and family.

 

The last time the SCSCS visited Lonesome Pine was October 2024.  Petersburg, West Virginia’s Brent Nelson only needed to turn in a respectable run to claim his long-awaited first series championship but also wanted to enter the win column at the challenging racetrack for the first time.  He did exactly that twice that night and after an up and down but solid points day that puts him second overall so far to start off 2025, Nelson will be hungry to return to his winning ways this Saturday evening.

 

Competitors will be looking to catch up to Ben Ebeling after the Hickory, North Carolina driver won both races at Kingsport.  The 2021 series champion has won at Lonesome Pine twice, including in his first career start in 2016.

 

After completing a successful test over the Memorial Day weekend, Damian Payton will make his initial SCSCS appearance since the 2022 finale. Now a resident of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Payton has spent most of his past time in stock cars on road courses but does have significant oval experience 
in Legends cars.  West Virginia’s Larry Frame had a handful of practice laps at Lonesome Pine last October but ran into mechanical troubles prior to qualifying and looks to turn his fortune around this weekend.

 

Back to the drivers with past experience, “ShoTime” Mike, who brought home a third and fourth in his return to the SCSCS last month, has competed four previous times in SCSCS Lonesome Pine competition and even ran twice with the old ASA series at the speedway before a handful of drivers in attendance this weekend were born.  Warrington, Pennsylvania’s Mike Senica is scheduled to be back in the Ashton Racing No. 57 at a track where he gained some knowledge with a third-place result in the 2024 running.  Eric Barber, from Parkersburg, West Virginia, has prior starts at the track too.

 

Will it be a mix of new and familiar, inexperience or prior knowledge, in victory lane? 

Spectator gates open at 3:00 p.m. with racing, including the twin main events for the Super Cup Stock Car Series as part of Fan Appreciation Night featuring several local classes slated to begin at 6:00 p.m.  General admission is only $5 at the gate with kids 12 and under admitted free.

 

The facility will also have specials on drinks, tacos, burgers, pizza, go-kart rides for $5 each with free popcorn, bounce houses, and race car rides for the kids.

 

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.

 

 

First of Two Opportunities to Conquer Coeburn Coming up This Weekend

 

Statesville, North Carolina (May 1, 2025) – Next on the 2025 agenda is a month in relatively familiar territory for many.  Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park has hosted the Super Cup Stock Car Series each of the past two seasons as well as some memorable races in the mid-2010s and each of the first three years of the series’ existence.  This year a pair of visits bookend the five weekends during May.

 

The most familiar among the local fans may be a driver that does not have any past SCSCS starts at the 3/8-mile oval but has many laps of competition there.  Mitch Gibson grew up in Coeburn, Virginia, involved in racing as a teenager assisting as a crew member for various nearby teams such as Henderson Motorsports, Morgan-McClure Motorsports, and former NASCAR Xfinity Series rookie of the year Danny O’Quinn during his time in the Pro Cup Series.  The experience gained culminated with a Late Model championship at his home track during their 2022 season.  Gibson finished second in one of the races during his SCSCS debut weekend at Kingsport Speedway, putting him third in the current standings early on, and would like nothing more than to break into victory lane in front of friends and family.

 

The last time the SCSCS visited Lonesome Pine was October 2024.  Petersburg, West Virginia’s Brent Nelson only needed to turn in a respectable run to claim his long-awaited first series championship but also wanted to enter the win column at the challenging racetrack for the first time.  He did exactly that twice that night and after an up and down but solid points day that puts him second overall so far to start off 2025, Nelson will be hungry to return to his winning ways this Saturday evening.

 

They will be looking to catch up to Ben Ebeling early in the season after the Hickory, North Carolina driver won both races at Kingsport Speedway.  The 2021 series champion has won at Lonesome Pine twice, including in his first career start in 2016.

 

Lexi Arnold was another driver that turned some heads at Kingsport, capturing the Pole Award her first time out and hanging with the leader until mechanical concerns dropped her out of the race shortly after halfway.  Lonesome Pine will present a new challenge as the Johnson City, Tennessee has never raced a stock car on this facility’s pavement, or any surface that is not the Kingsport concrete, before.

 

Back to the drivers with past experience, “ShoTime” Mike, who brought home a third and fourth in his return to the SCSCS a couple Fridays ago, has competed four previous times in SCSCS competition and even ran twice with the old ASA series at the speedway before a handful of drivers in attendance this weekend were born.  Warrington, Pennsylvania’s Mike Senica is scheduled to be back in the Ashton Racing No. 57 at a track where he gained some knowledge with a third-place result in the 2024 running.  Eric Barber, from Parkersburg, West Virginia, has prior starts at Lonesome Pine too.

 

Will it be a mix of new and familiar, inexperience or prior knowledge, in victory lane? 

Spectator gates open at 2:00 p.m. with racing, including the twin main events for the Super Cup Stock Car Series as part of Nickel Drop Night for the Kids featuring multiple local classes and a Fastor Pastor race slated to begin at 4:00 p.m.  General admission is $15 at the gate with students (11-18) and seniors $12, and kids 10 and under admitted free.

 

The facility will also have their kart track open at 2:00 p.m. with more entertainment for the kids in the midway that includes free popcorn and bounce houses.
