Cole Butcher Leads Flag-to-Flag for Victory in North-South Super Late Model Challenge 100 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway

Nashville, TN — Cole Butcher added his name to the record books Sunday afternoon at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, becoming the first Canadian driver to win the prestigious North-South Super Late Model Challenge 100. The Porters Lake, Nova Scotia native led every lap of the event, holding off a fierce late-race challenge to secure his third ASA Southern Super Series victory in a race co-sanctioned by CRA of the season in just six starts.

Driving the No. 28 for Donnie Wilson Motorsports, Butcher’s win came in historic fashion — Wilson himself captured the inaugural North-South event in 2016. Butcher’s milestone triumph marked his first career win at Nashville and extended his ASA Southern Super Series championship points lead.

A thrilling green-white-checkered finish saw Matt Craig mount a final charge, but Butcher held steady to claim the checkered flag. Craig settled for a strong second-place run, while rising star Carson Brown completed the podium in third. Gavan Boschele and Kyle Steckly rounded out the top five.

The remainder of the top ten included Bubba Pollard, Albert Francis, George Phillips, Jake Finch, and Colby Howard.

The ASA Southern Super Series now shifts its focus to the next marquee showdown: Thursday, May 22 at Hickory Motor Speedway for a co-sanctioned event with the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour — a can’t-miss night of Super Late Model action.

Hunter Wright Claims Pro Late Model 100 Victory at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway

Nashville, TN — Just moments after earning an impressive podium finish in the ARCA Menards Series East Music City 150, Hunter Wright thrilled the hometown fans again by claiming victory in the Pro Late Model 100 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

Wright’s win didn’t come easy. Chase Johnson, who started from the pole, dominated the first half of the event, leading the initial 50 laps in commanding fashion. A competition caution at lap 50 set up a dramatic restart, where Wright used the outside groove to seize the lead and control the second half of the race.

Johnson didn’t go quietly, closing a nearly one-second gap over the final 10 laps to pressure Wright, but the Lebanon, TN driver held steady and took the checkered flag.

Chase Johnson finished a strong second, followed by Corey Deuser, standout rookie Aidan Potter, and Trey Craig rounding out the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Albert Francis, Stacey Crain, Michael Bolden, Tucker Wingo, and Davey Coble.

Wright’s Pro Late Model triumph capped off an unforgettable afternoon for the young driver, who continues to establish himself as one of Nashville’s premier short track talents.

Up next for Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is the marquee Rackley Roofing Battle of Broadway 150 on Thursday, May 29 — a combination showdown for the Nashville Pro Late Models and the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour. NASCAR veteran Josh Berry is among the high-profile names set to compete in what promises to be one of the season’s most exciting events.

Max Reaves Scores Second ARCA Menards East Victory of Season with Dominant Drive in Music City 150

Nashville, TN — Max Reaves put on a clinic Sunday afternoon at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, capturing his second ARCA Menards Series East victory of the 2025 season with a powerful and poised performance in the Music City 150.

Piloting the Cook Out-sponsored Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, Reaves led the majority of the race and only briefly relinquished the top spot following a restart where Tyler Reif surged ahead momentarily. Reaves wasted little time regaining control and drove away to the checkered flag, adding to his growing résumé in the ARCA East ranks.

Reif settled for a hard-fought second-place finish, while Nashville’s own Hunter Wright thrilled the hometown crowd with a strong third-place effort. Isaac Kitzmiller and Zachary Tinkle rounded out the top five.

The remainder of the top ten included Jackson McLerran, Takuma Koga, Becca Monopoli, Quinn Davis, and Nate Moeller.

Reaves’ victory at the historic Nashville Fairgrounds marks a major step forward in the young driver’s campaign, as he continues to establish himself as a title contender in the ARCA Menards Series East standings.

Saturday’s Racing Program at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Postponed to Sunday Afternoon Due to Wet Conditions

Nashville, TN – Officials at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway have announced that the racing program originally scheduled for Saturday, May 3 has been postponed to Sunday afternoon, May 4, due to persistent wet track conditions that proved insurmountable despite ongoing drying efforts.

Following multiple rounds of rainfall throughout the day, officials worked to adjust the Saturday schedule in hopes of completing the full slate of racing. However, the final batch of precipitation, coupled with high humidity and lower temperatures, ultimately halted track drying progress and forced the postponement.

“We did everything in our power to get the event in,” said promoter, Bob Sargent. “Unfortunately, the weather conditions just wouldn’t cooperate, and we had to make the call with the safety of drivers in mind. We want to thank everyone for sticking with us through the frustrating day of weather.”

The rescheduled event will now take place Sunday, May 4, with an adjusted race day schedule as follows:

Pits Open: 10:00 AM
Grandstands Open: 12:00 PM
ARCA Menards Series East Final Practice: 12:00 Noon
North-South Super Late Model Challenge 100 (Super Late Models): 1:00 PM
Music City 150 (ARCA Menards Series East): Immediately Following
Nashville Pro Late Model 100: Concludes the program

Fans who purchased tickets for Saturday’s event are encouraged to return Sunday with their ticket for admission. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the gate on race day. The ¼-mile race that was canceled on Friday night will be made up at a new date to be announced in the near future.

Schlenk remains unbeaten in Attica late model action; Stroup tames 305 sprints; Sorg earns truck victory

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Rusty Schlenk remains undefeated at Attica Raceway Park in 2025. The three time national UMP late model champion took the lead with just seven laps remaining Friday, May 2 after a spirited battle with five time track champion Devin Shiels and drove to his fourth straight feature win on RPM Performance Parts/Morgan Stanley Night against the Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series

Schlenk, the 2024 American Late Model Iron-Man Series champion who won the series race at Attica last season, took home $5,049 in the Stephen Wagner Memorial event. He also earned an extra $1,049 for winning the special Australian Pursuit in honor of Larry Scott.

“I tell all my drivers to drive at 80 percent at all times and leave 100 percent for when you need it. Man we needed 100 percent every lap tonight. That was wild…a hell of a race and a lot of fun,” said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91.

Shiels, from Britton, Mich., jumped out to the early lead and quickly pulled away from the pack as Colten Burdette, from Parkersburg, W. Va., held second over Schlenk, Kyle Moore and Ryan Markham. Moore took third on lap two but no one was challenging Shiels until he encountered heavy lapped traffic just eight laps into the 30-lap affair that saw only one caution flag.

At the halfway point Shiels had a put two lapped machine between himself and a good battle for second between Burdette, who was seeing Attica for the first time in his career, and Schlenk as Markham drove into fourth over Moore. With 10 laps to go Schlenk, from McClure, Ohio, took second and quickly began to eat into Shiels’ lead and used a lapped car as a pick to drive into the lead on lap 23. With just four laps to go Shiels used traffic and drove by Schlenk but something broke on his #51 and he drove off the high side of turn one, handing the lead back to Schlenk who drove away for his 47th career Attica late model win over Burdette, Markham, Todd Brennan and Moore.

In the 25-lap Fremont Fence 305 sprint feature Dustin Stroup grabbed the early lead as a good battle formed behind him involving Dustin Dinan, Jamie Miller, Paul Weaver and Jimmy McGrath. Miller took second on lap three but a big bobble in turn two on lap seven put McGrath and Dinan into second and third.

The only thing that slowed Stroup’s march to the checkers was several late race cautions, including with just two laps to go. The Fremont, Ohio driver executed a perfect restart and drove to his ninth career Attica win over McGrath, Weaver, Dinan and Miller.

“This feels great. I wasn’t sure how much I could race this year with having a new baby so me and JRA parted ways on good terms and my family still had a lot of parts and I bought a car from Dan Roberts…I drove for him in Indiana. I finished third in the nationals in that thing and that’s the car I got. It feels good to get a win in the family car again,” said Stroup beside his Pizza House Clyde, Mama Dukes TRP, GCE LLS., Myer’s Racing Engines, Midwest Dyno Services, Sulphur Town Pub, The Bowman Family, Warwick Entertainment, Bobby’s Truck, Auto and Bus Repair, Wear A Print LLC, TME Services, Advance Auto Parts, Eye Candy Custom Cycles backed #10x.

Fremont, Ohio’s Keith Sorg battled with Shawn Valenti throughout the first 14 laps of the 15-lap dirt truck feature and then held off Jamie Miller in a one-lap dash following a caution on lap 14 to score his fourth career Attica win.

“We blew up our good motor last week on opening night at Fremont. I’ve been kind of upset about that all week so to come out here and win makes up for a lot of that,” said Sorg beside his Fremont Fence, M&L Excavating, Westend Tire, Great Lakes Garage Door backed #4s.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, May 9 for the 37th Annual Eric Phillips Anniversary Classic with the Attica Fremont Championship Series 410 and 305 sprints and the UMP Late Models in action.

GILBERTSON VICTORIOUS IN WINGED SPRINT CAR RETURN TO MOBILE

April 26, 2025 - Irvington, Alabama - Tampa, Florida’s Johnny Gilbertson held off Dave Mader III to win Saturday night’s 360 winged sprint car feature at Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama. Gilbertson led the final twenty laps to score his first career victory at MIS and claim $2,500 for his efforts. It was the first time winged sprint cars had competed at the historic half-mile speedway since 2019.

Butch David took the lead from his pole position starting spot at the green. He immediately had Gilbertson breathing down his neck for the lead followed closely by Mader III. Gilbertson was finally able to wrestle the top spot when David encountered heavy lapped traffic on lap four.

Over the final twenty laps, Mader III was able to catch Gilbertson on multiple occasions as he struggled with lapped traffic. Mader III was able to get alongside Gilbertson several times during the second half of the race.

The yellow flag flew on lap twenty-three for third place running Butch David who lost a right front tire entering turn four. Gilbertson would cruise to a 4.166 margin of victory in clean air the final two laps over Mader III with Branded Blenden rounding out the top three.

The only serious incident of the night occurred on the final lap of heat race #1. Todd Fayard made contact with JR Wood. The contact pushed Wood into the infield where he tipped the car on its side. Wood was ok but was unable to start the feature event.

“The car was pretty good” explained Gilbertson I victory lane. “I was trying to conserve tires because we ran the same tires tonight as we did at Citrus County (Florida) a couple months ago. That 18 snuck up on me one time and surprised me. I knew I had to step it up. We had that caution with two to go and it cooled the tires down enough so that I could push them a little hard the final two laps” concluded Gilbertson.

Feature Finish (25 Laps): 1. 77-Johnny Gilbertson; 2. 18-Dave Mader III; 2. 32-Branden Blended; 4. 13-Todd Fayard; 5. 67-Blake Mallette; 6. 6-Chase Wood Sr.; 7. 21-Butch David; 8. 83-Blake Carrier; 9. 56-Stan Smith; 10. 94-Parker Davis; DNS 27-JR Wood; 121-Todd Bliss

FREMONT, Ohio – If you were going to script the start of the 2025 racing season for the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline and for Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction…you couldn’t have written it better. Cars charging through the field, late race heroics…it was all there Saturday, April 26 on Gressman Powersports/Level Performance Night.

The All Stars, which had taken a year off in 2024, are officially back. The oldest touring winged sprint car series didn’t disappoint in their 137th career visit to the Track That Action Built to help kick off the 74th anniversary season at the track.

Sacramento, California’s Kalib Henry, the defending Fremont Speedway 410 track champion, charged from 13th to battle with Cap Henry late in the race to earn his first All Star win. It was his sixth career Fremont victory.

“I figured there wasn’t any way I was going to win starting that far back. Andy Potter had this thing absolutely phenomenal. Thanks to all our great sponsors for allowing us to follow the All Stars this year,” said Henry beside his Triple J Towing, Birchard Financial, Harris Distributing, Valvoline, C&H Veteran Enterprises, Butler Built, K1 Racewear, Berryman Racing Shocks backed #101.

Cody Bova led the opening five laps of the 35-lap feature before third starter Kasey Jedrzejek took over. Pole-sitter Cap Henry, who had fallen back to third, stormed into se3cond on a lap seven restart and immediately pressured Jedrzejek for the lead. Three race cautions in the opening 15 laps brought about an open red on when Leyton Wagner got upside down.

On the restart Jedrzejek continued to lead Cap Henry, Bova, Chris Andrews and Kalib Henry. Kalib stormed into fourth on lap 16, took third on lap 17. Another driver on the move was Zane DeVault who moved into fourth from his 17th starting position on lap 18.

Jedrzejek and Cap Henry continued to battle for the lead with Henry taking the top spot on lap 22. Four laps later in heavy lapped traffic Kalib Henry drove into the lead only to surrender it back to Cap with a bobble in turn two. Kalib regained the lead on lap 28 and pulled away for the win over Cap Henry, DeVault, Bova and 14th starter Greg Wilson.

“Unfortunately I ran out of tear-offs twice…Kalib was just very good tonight. Hats off that that crew. Zack, Jeff, Gary, Chris and Chad have done a great job to put us in a position to win every night out so far. This is a great start to the season,” said Cap Henry.

For DeVault, the feature’s “Hard Charger,” some changes to the car made it much more drivable.

“We kind of went back to what we did for the Outlaw show here last year. We went back to old notes and this car was ripping,” said DeVault.

Fostoria, Ohio’s Kent Brewer jumped into the lead at the drop of the green in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks A-main and built up a nearly three second lead before a pair of late race cautions. Steve Miller, who had gone to the work early during a lengthy race stoppage before a lap could be completed, had charged up to second and began pressuring Brewer. Brewer hit his marks and drove to his ninth career Fremont win. After a post-race inspection Miller’s truck was found to have an illegal carburetor.

“Thank you to all my family and friends who help work and take care of this truck. Scott Gressman built me one heck of a motor. Thanks to Brian Ruhlman, my brothers and all the fans and participants,” said Brewer beside his Injector Experts, Kent’s Transmissions, B&S Farms backed #8KB.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, May 3 with the American Late Model Iron-Man Series, the 305 sprints and D2 Midgets in action.
