NATTY O-HIO: Sheldon Haudenschild Captures Elusive National Open Title After Battle with Balog 

The Wooster, OH native bests Bill Balog and holds off Danny Dietrich for $75,000 at Williams Grove

 

Tyler Carr

MECHANICSBURG, PA (October 4, 2025) - Sheldon Haudenschild is finally a J&S Classics National Open champion.

No more close calls. No more settling for second. No more “we’ll get them next year.” Haudenschild got the job done in 2025 at the Williams Grove Speedway crown jewel.

He was fifth in 2020 and climbed to third in 2021. Two years later, the Wooster, OH native was back in the top five. A year ago, he finished a close runner-up to Carson Macedo and might’ve won if the race would’ve been a lap longer. This year, he wouldn’t be denied.

It was by no means an easy 40-lap journey to the “Natty O” title. Bill Balog led the field to green and made it clear early that he’d be a force. The “North Pole Nightmare” drove away from the battle for second in the first half. Behind him, Haudenschild, Michael “Buddy” Kofoid, and Danny Dietrich slugged it out for second.

Haudenschild finally gained control of the spot on the 29th circuit and went to work chasing down Balog. He closed and closed until the door opened on Lap 35 when Balog tripped on the cushion in Turns 1 and 2 and Haudenschild slipped by on the bottom. But the war for the win was far from over.

Balog got back up on the wheel and started hammering away on the curb as Haudenschild remained committed to the low side. The North Pole, AK native kept building momentum and closed right on the tail tank of the Stenhouse Jr.-Marshall Racing/NOS Energy Drink No. 17 down the straightaways. The white flag flew, and Balog ripped the top in the first set of corners and nearly pulled alongside Haudenschild out of Turn 2. But it just wasn’t quite enough as Haudenschild kept clear and drove away to a $75,000 National Open title.

“For one, I had a really good race car,” Haudenschild said. “Hats off to (Kyle) Ripper, Luke (Vaughn), and Jayce (Wallick). You don’t win here without a really good race car. Ripper just tuned on it all night. We kind of had a gameplan. I never really felt comfortable on the cushion all weekend, so we just kind of aborted that mission. I think I ran the top down in (Turns) 1 and 2 maybe once or twice and kind of got tight up there. I just worked that middle in while it was still dark and tried to follow the clean part of the track. I’m just super happy to get this S-J-M (Stenhouse Jr.-Marshall Racing) another win. That’s been our goal: win races for these guys.”

It was announced last month that Haudenschild and the Stenhouse Jr.-Marshall Racing team would be going separate ways at the end of this year, and after eight strong seasons together, Haudenschild wants to give them a memorable final stretch. A crown jewel win certainly contributes to that effort.

“I’m super grateful for Richard (Marshall), Jennifer (Marshall), Ricky (Stenhouse Jr.), and Lauren (Albano),” Haudenschild said. “I’ve said it before; they gave me a chance when I was a rookie with no wins, and we won right off the bat with this team. It just feels really good to get this win for them. Super grateful for them. I wish them luck in the future, and I’m excited for my future.”

His first win in the final leg of the sport’s triple crown made Haudenschild the 36th different National Open champion. He’s the first Ohio native to win the Pennsylvania event since Kenny Jacobs in 1988. The nine-year World of Outlaws veteran gave bragging rights back to the travlers a night after Chase Dietz opened the weekend scoring one for the PA Posse. Haudenschild snapped a 33-race winless streak with Saturday’s score, which was the 45th of his career with The Greatest Show on Dirt.

Danny Dietrich slid by Balog on the final lap to claim the runner-up spot for the Pennsylvania Posse. The Gettysburg, PA native was the only driver to earn a podium position on both nights of the National Open. Dietrich might’ve ended the night celebrating a second title in the famed event had traffic played out a little differently.

“I needed to probably move down,” Dietrich said. “I was done, and then a lapped car was running the bottom and that’s where I really wanted to be. I was moving around there behind Bill for a while just feeling the track out especially down in (Turns) 3 and 4, running the middle and floating certain lanes. I really thought I found it and then just couldn’t clear a lapped car. I didn’t commit enough to pulling the wing back and then tried to hustle in into (Turn) 1 twice and hustled it right over the cushion. I’m really lucky to even finish because I thought for sure I was going to be up in the cornfield. We had a really good car.”

Bill Balog came home third after leading the opening 35 circuits. It was a bittersweet night as Balog delivered yet another impressive performance on a big stage this year, but he thought he might’ve been heading toward the biggest win of his career until that late bobble on the cushion.

“It was an awesome racetrack to be honest,” Balog said. “I thought we had that there. I just got bottled up there a couple times. I’d get kind of plugged into the cushion a little too hard, had to cheat it. But this is still a great run for us; Anderson’s Maple Syrup, Honest Abe Roofing, Wayne Corini, he helped me get out here years ago and maybe figure out a little bit about this place. Got to thank the guys for working on it. Pretty amazing night for us.”

Daryn Pittman and Buddy Kofoid completed the top five.

Logan Schuchart wheeled from 14th to seventh to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger.

David Gravel earned Simpson Quick Time honors in Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying to sweep the weekend’s Quick Time awards.

Heat Races belonged to David Gravel (NOS Energy Drink Heat One), Carson Macedo (Real American Beer Heat Two), Bill Balog (WIX Filters Heat Three), and Daryn Pittman (TheGreatestStoreonDirt.com Heat Four).

The SPA Technique #1 Redraw went to Sheldon Haudenschild.

Bill Balog topped the Toyota Dash.

Lance Dewease won the Micro-Lite Last Chance Showdown.

The Smith Titanium Brake Systems Break of the Race went to Conner Morrell.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: World of Outlaws Return to New Jersey, Battle PA Posse One Final Time

The tour heads back to New Egypt before the last Pennsylvania invasion of 2025 at Lincoln

 

Trent Gower

NEW EGYPT, NJ (October 7, 2025) - Another weekend in the northeast awaits the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

The dust has settled on Pennsylvania’s premier event, Williams Grove Speedway’s J&S Classics National Open, but the country’s top Sprint Car drivers don’t have to travel far this week.

First up is The Greatest Show on Dirt’s return to the state of New Jersey for the first time in three years. The tour heads to New Egypt Speedway on Friday, Oct. 10. It’ll mark the 10th trip to the uniquely shaped track in Series history.

Then it’s back to Pennsylvania for one final faceoff with the PA Posse. The World of Outlaws rumble into the scenic Pigeon Hills where the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway serves as the battleground for the two sides. The Abbottstown, PA oval has hosted the World of Outlaws 55 times.

Let’s look at the weekend’s top storylines:

10 TO GO: The 2025 campaign that began in Florida eight months ago is now down to a quick dash to the finish line. Only 10 races remain in the World of Outlaws’ 48th season of bringing the nation’s top Sprint Car talent together.

David Gravel leads the way atop the standings. The Watertown, CT native is having a remarkable year aboard the Big Game Motorsports No. 2 with 15 wins, 35 podiums, and only two finishes outside the top 10 through 61 races. Michael “Buddy” Kofoid has been a sophomore success as he taken the Roth Motorsports No. 83 on 11 trips to Victory Lane and is 146 markers behind Gravel in points. Completing the points podium is Carson Macedo and Jason Johnson Racing.

Another major storyline entering this year was a loaded Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year class, and it’s delivered. Garet Williamson and Chris Windom have battled all year, and Williamson holds a 78-point advantage. Behind Windom, Cole Macedo is still within striking distance 88 markers back.

JERSEY GIANTS: A handful of current World of Outlaws competitors have enjoyed journeys to New Jersey in the past.

Donny Schatz is a two-time New Egypt winner, claiming visits in 2001 and 2003. The 10-time Series champion is still in search of his first trip to Victory Lane this year, and that pursuit continues Friday aboard the Sides Motorsports No. 15.

David Gravel claimed the most recent New Egypt tilt in 2017. That was with CJB Motorsports, and now the current point leader will go for one with Big Game Motorsports as he nears a second straight Series title.

Logan Schuchart and Sheldon Haudenschild have both won in the “Garden State,” though both came at different tracks than what’s ahead Friday. Schuchart was victorious at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in 2021, and then Haudenschild came out on top at the same facility a year later.

RACING FOR SCRUFFY: Hearts will be heavy on Saturday at Lincoln. Bobby Allen, a longtime resident of nearby Hanover, PA, one of the most admired racers to ever emerge from Pennsylvania, and owner of Shark Racing, passed away on Sunday.

Lincoln Speedway played a large role in Allen’s legacy. He went from sleeping in the track’s ticket booth at times as he pursued his racing dreams to winning 75 races and three track championships at the Abbottstown, PA oval.

Shark Racing would love nothing more than to honor their leader with a victory on Saturday. Allen’s grandson, Logan Schuchart, will lead the charge in that effort. He’s yet to win a World of Outlaws race at Lincoln, peaking at second in 2020, but he does own a pair of local scores at his home track. The Shark team will also have Ashton Torgerson in action piloting the No. 1A that Allen made famous. He was a runner-up at Lincoln during his most recent visit to the track in August.

DECIDING FINAL BATTLE: Lincoln represents the final showdown between the World of Outlaws and Pennsylvania Posse in 2025, and the stakes are high.

The Posse have defended the porch three times this year thanks to Anthony Macri victories at Williams Grove Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway and Chase Dietz’s first win with the Series this past weekend. The travelers have taken two trophies with Michael “Buddy” Kofoid winning at Lincoln in May and Sheldon Haudenschild taking the J&S Classics National Open at “The Grove.”

That means the scoreboard shows the Posse lead by just one entering Saturday. They’ve already secured at least a tie in 2025 against the best drivers in the country, but they want more than a tie. They’ll be looking to secure year-long bragging rights on Saturday for the first time since 2022 while the World of Outlaws aim to spoil their fun and end the year on equal ground.

POSSE PRIDE: Several stout competitors from Pennsylvania are capable of ensuring the Posse maintain the upper hand on Saturday.

Chase Dietz (York, PA) is fresh off bagging his first career World of Outlaws checkered flag on Friday at Williams Grove, and he and the Stehman Motorsports crew have been fast at Lincoln all year. They won the track’s first race of 2025, came home second with the World of Outlaws in May, and got a second win on Labor Day weekend. Dietz has only missed the top five once this year in the Pigeon Hills.

Gettysburg, PA’s Danny Dietrich was the only driver to podium on both nights of the National Open this past weekend in the Gary Kauffman Racing No. 48. He’s currently tied for fifth all-time on Lincoln’s all-time win list with 66, and a pair of those came with the World of Outlaws.

Troy Wagaman Jr. entered this year with a trio of Lincoln triumphs on his résumé, and he’s added three more to that tally in 2025 alone with the Heffner Racing team. The Hanover, PA native has been in the top 10 twice with the World of Outlaws at Lincoln.

Freddie Rahmer scored for the Posse at Lincoln in 2018 to notch his one career World of Outlaws victory to date. He’s racked up 44 total wins at the 3/8 mile.

These four are likely to be joined by Lance Dewease (Fayetteville, PA), Brock Zearfoss (Jonestown, PA), Ryan Smith (Kunkletown, PA), T.J. Stutts (Liverpool, PA), and many more.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Salt City Doubleheader Begins ASCS Home Stretch

Tyler Carr

 

HUTCHINSON, KS (Oct. 7, 2025) — Six races remain in the chase for the Emmett Hahn Trophy, and the stars of the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) are ready to begin the home stretch of the season with back-to-back races this weekend at Salt City Speedway.

 

The near-flat, half-mile oval on the historic Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson has been hosting motorsports events as far back as the 1930s and this weekend hosts the national 360 Sprint Car tour for the second time in track history. The first came this past May, when Zach Blurton led flag-to-flag in the main event and captured his second career national Series victory.

 

Drivers will compete for a share of the $4,000-to-win purse on Friday before chasing a $6,000 grand prize on Saturday. Both nights of racing will be supported by the local Stock Car division.

 

Tickets for both days of the event are on sale now; click here to purchase. If you can’t be there, stream every lap live on DIRTVision.

 

Here are the drivers to watch and storylines to follow this weekend:

 

HUTCHINSON HERO — In front of friends, family and sponsors at Salt City, Kansas native Zach Blurton won the Series debut in May and has two chances to do it again this weekend.

 

Blurton, 31, of Quinter, KS, paced the field green-to-checkered in the 25-lap main event, besting Series champions Blake Hahn and Sam Hafertepe Jr. to bank his second career Series victory. The win marked his first Series victory since July 3, 2022, ending a near three-year, 151-week winless streak on the national circuit, and becoming the 102nd multi-time winner in Series history.

 

Historically, Blurton has performed well on the half-mile oval, collecting seven top-five finishes in nine career Feature starts between ASCS, the National Championship Racing Association (NCRA) and the track’s long-running Hutchinson Grand Nationals event in the 305 Sprint Car division.

 

Recently, Blurton has produced strong results, notching back-to-back top-10 finishes in the previous two national ASCS events before scoring a win and a fifth-place run with the ASCS Frontier Region two weeks ago at the Wyoming oval of Sheridan Speedway.

 

ALMOST THERE — After coming so close to his first career national Series victory at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park three weeks ago, Kyler Johnson is ready to try again this weekend in his home state.

 

Johnson, 22, of Quinter, KS, led 20 laps of the main event on the high-banked Missouri oval but lost the lead to eventual winner Matt Covington in lapped traffic late in the race. Still, he hung on for second place and his fourth top-10 finish in his last five Feature starts — the best stretch of his ASCS career.

 

He’ll take the momentum swing into his home state of Kansas this weekend and try again for his first national ASCS win at Salt City, where he finished fourth in May.

 

ROOKIE BREAKTHROUGH? — Seven of Garrett Benson’s last eight national Series Feature races have produced top-10 finishes, three of which were on the podium, marking his best stretch of the season.

 

The 15-year-old, leading Brodix Rookie of the Year contender from Concordia, MO, posted back-to-back third-place finishes in the last race weekend at Paducah International Raceway and I-55, showing the speed and skill necessary to contend for a Feature win on the national circuit.

 

His first win could potentially come this weekend at Salt City, where he bagged his first top-10 finish of the season in May when he finished sixth in a 32-car field.

 

CHASE FOR THE TROPHY — With six races left, Sam Hafertepe Jr, Matt Covington and Blake Hahn are currently the frontrunners contending for the Emmett Hahn Trophy, all separated by less than 200 points.

 

Hafertepe, the five-time Series champion and current points leader from Sunnyvale, TX, has been a dominant force throughout the season, collecting 10 Feature wins in 27 Feature starts, and currently leads the championship standings by 146 points over Covington. In May, he finished third at Salt City.

 

Covington, of Glenpool, OK, has six races left to try and make up the 146-point gap that lies ahead of him in pursuit of his first Series championship. This year, he’s collected three Feature wins, and will try for a fourth at Salt City, where he finished seventh in May.

 

Hahn, a two-time Series champion from Sapulpa, OK, sits 192 points behind Hafertepe in pursuit of his first championship since 2022, holding onto two Feature wins in 28 Feature starts. In the Series’ debut in May, he ran runner-up to Blurton.

Trevor Cline Snags First Xtreme Outlaw Victory in Honest Abe Roofing Open Wheel Showdown at Jacksonville

 

Joe Grabianowski

 

Trevor Cline is glad he visited Jacksonville Speedway.

After dealing with a 2025 season that brought multiple highs and lows, the 18-year-old almost avoided running with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota at Jacksonville Speedway in the Honest Abe Roofing Open Wheel Showdown.

The decision to join the Series for the weekend was the confidence booster he did not expect, as the Mooresville, NC native captured his first career Feature win after 30 unpredictable laps around the Illinois bullring.

“It’s everything,” Cline said. “Especially to have as much momentum as you possibly can going home. We almost didn’t come about two weeks ago, and we were like, ‘Eh, let’s go try something and figure it out. We’ve been horrible all year long, and we kind of went back to basics on what we started on from last year that we liked, and we fired off really well.”

Chaos immediately ensued on the opening start as polesitter Ethan Mitchell spun in front of the field off of Turn 2, collecting multiple cars in the mix that included Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports (KKM) teammates Gavin Miller and Alex Karpowicz.

When the field was reset, Kyle Jones took the lead over Karter Sarff and Kale Drake as the three followed each other around the cushion of the 0.25-mile track through the first 10 laps.

On Lap 12, Jones and Drake smacked the wall in Turn 4 and left the door open for Sarff to take the lead. On Lap 13, Sarff’s car overheated through the same set of corners, and he immediately dropped off the track. That handed the lead to Cline, who started in sixth after earning High Point Honors.

Joining Cline in the podium spots were Chase McDermand and Jacob Denney. When Denney took over second place on Lap 19 after racing side-by-side with McDermand's No. 40X for three laps, he slowly tracked down the No. 55 Toyota by running the middle lane while Cline stayed glued to the top.

Denney added pressure on Cline through the final quarter of the race as he cut the gap down by three-tenths of a second each lap to place his No. 67 JBL Audio Toyota in prime position to steal the win.

When the white flag of the feature flew, Denney was within 0.2 seconds of Cline and began to prepare for a final turn slide job. However, Cline caught the lapped car of Daniel Adler at the perfect moment - preventing Denney from using the momentum he built up. That moment sealed Cline’s fate as he got to celebrate as a first-time national Midget winner.

“I saw (Denney), which ended up being two to go,” Cline said. “I was looking for a (scoreboard) the whole time, and I was just hoping it was over, cause I was worn out, and I need to work out. It’s tough because he was behind me the whole race, and I knew he got through the traffic pretty well. The nice thing is there’s a big curve up there where we just go hammer off from, just like home (Millbridge Speedway) and go to the win.”

Denney finished right behind the back bumper of Cline in second place. With his finish, the Galloway, OH driver widened his distance to Miller in the championship by 358 points over Miller heading into the season finale at Millbridge.

“I kind of put myself behind,” Denney said. “I made a couple of mistakes at the start, and then I just had a lot of ground to make up there. Luckily, the seas parted, and I got a couple of good spots back. By the time I got to second, Trevor was like a straightaway ahead. He was ripping, and I gave everything I had to try and reel him in there.

“I was hoping he’d clear the lapped car before we got to the white flag, just so I could throw a bomb across. But he was right there, and I half slid it and tried to get across, but I wasn’t going to do anything dumb. He ran a great race, I’m not going to take that away from him.”

McDermand rounded out the night with his second consecutive podium finish with the Series to close out the year of Xtreme Outlaw Midget racing in his home state. 

“Well first, congrats to Trevor, Troy, (Denise), and their whole family,” McDermand said. “They’re the nicest people in the pit, they help anybody. They lent me a power steering pump before the Feature ‘cause we lost one in the Heat race. So, just first class people, so I’m happy to see him get his first one.

“Our car was really good in the beginning, and then I found a little bit of a different line on the restart and took advantage of everybody hitting the holes and stuff. So, I was able to get up there in a little bit cleaner air, which I feel like helped me for a little while. But, once Jacob built up momentum back around the top and was able to get away from me, that’s when I think our car showed a little bit. We weren’t quite there in the long run.”
