- Marks runs down Reutzel to claim Kubota High Limit Midweek win at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 15, 2025) - Brent Marks made his move on lap 18 for the lead and went on to capture his fifth Kutoba High Limit Sprint feature victory of the season on Wednesday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Marks, of Myerstown, Pa., picked up $12,000 for the victory as he beat Aaron Reutzel of Clute, Texas, by .359 seconds in the 30-lapper that wrapped the Roto-Rooter Midweek Series. It was Marks' second High Limit win in the last three events. "We've had some speed here, but had some bad luck as well," said Marks, who started fifth moved toward the front before putting himself into position to make a decisive pass. "It's just great to be standing up here." Reutzel set sail from the front as the green flag waved and grabbed the lead. He caught lapped traffic by lap six, holding an .833-second margin over Sye Lynch. The race came to a halt at that point when 22nd running Kerry Madsen flipped his car in turn two. Marks, Justin Peck and Tanner Thorson were third-through-fifth at the time with Rico Abreu sixth headed for the restart after what would be the lone stoppage in the action. Reutzel opened a one-second lead by lap 10 over Marks as Lynch slipped to third. Marks cut the deficit to a half-second by the halfway mark on lap 15 as the top two caught slower cars. That only tightened the race for the lead even more as Marks pulled to the rear of Reutzel's car on lap 17 and grabbed the lead the next time around, passing for the top spot on the outside of turn two. "I felt that was my opportunity to get by Aaron," Marks said. "His car is really good and he's a really good driver. He's not really gonna make any mistakes at all. Any time you have an opportunity like that, you have to take advantage of it and I felt like that was ours right there. "Lapped traffic was pretty thick and they were running the bottom. So was he and so was I, and I figured at some point the top has to start coming around. I decided to go ahead and try it right there. He just got bottled up enough behind a lapped car that I was able to keep that momentum and haul around him in one and two. "After that it was just about picking lapped cars off one by one, try not to make any mistakes and run a really clean race. Once I kind of got some clean air there just not really sticking to one line. Move around a little bit and let the car float to where it wanted to go and that seemed to be the best for me." Marks' lead grew to one-second by lap 22, but back came Reutzel on lap 25 to trail by just .324 seconds. Marks found his way around lapped cars and held on the rest of the way, beating Reutzel by .359 seconds at the finish, leaving the runner-up to second-guess himself. "I kept my patience a little too much," Reutzel said. "I was a little too tight early and was nervous to jump up. I was trying to use the big arc and run around the middle. I was just a little too timid to jump up there and do what Brent did. Just a little disappointed in myself, getting the car too tight and not being more aggressive. "That's two of them I've given away in the last week. I just need to clean things up and do a better job honestly." Lynch finished third with Peck fourth, Brad Sweet fifth and Abreu was sixth. That was just enough to give Abreu, of St. Helena, Calif., the Roto Rooter Midweek Championship by one point over Reutzel. Abreu also protected his lead in the season championship standings as he will take a 28-point margin over Sweet into the championship weekend, Friday and Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway dirt track in Fort Worth. Abreu set fast qualifying time with a lap of 12.878 seconds - just off his track record of 12.829 set at the High Limit Racing Diamond Classic on June 29, 2024. Reutzel won the dash to earn the pole for the feature. High Limit coming to Hockett-McMillin in 2026: Prior to the feature, Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Casey Shuman announced that the 16th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial will join the Kubota High Limit Racing schedule next season alongside the POWRi WAR Sprints.

- Bo Miller Completes Purchase of Ararat BullRing — Racing Continues with the Inaugural "Working Man Dirt Nationals" on October 25th
Ararat, VA — October 15, 2025 — The future of one of Southwest Virginia's favorite bullrings is secure. Bo Miller, owner of Miller Brothers Racing, has officially purchased Ararat BullRing in Ararat, Virginia. Racing will continue for the rest of the 2025 season under the continued leadership of promoter Langley Austin, beginning with a brand-new event — the Working Man Dirt Nationals, set for Saturday, October 25th. This special event will celebrate the blue-collar backbone of local racing, showcasing the Pro4, Stock4, Crown Vic, Enduro, and Vintage Racer divisions — the same grassroots racers who fill the pits and thrill the fans all season long. "I fell in love with Ararat BullRing at first sight during open practice back in April," said Bo Miller, new owner of the facility. "I wanted to help secure its future for generations to come. Don't expect a lot of changes because we love the place just the way it is, but we'll make subtle improvements and work to make the track even better for racers and fans." Miller's connection to racing runs deep. As the owner of Miller Brothers Racing, he has fielded cars for his son Carder Miller, who has competed in both regional and national dirt late model events. With Carder now focusing on his family and career, Bo is turning his attention to preserving and improving local grassroots racing for the next generation. Under Miller's ownership, Langley Austin will remain the track promoter, continuing his successful leadership that brought Ararat BullRing roaring back to life in 2025. "I've enjoyed this track first as a fan and now as its promoter," said Langley Austin. "I can't thank former owners Gary and Alesia Nester enough for allowing me to lease it for 2025, and I'm thrilled to work with Bo going forward. We put this place back on the map this season, and with Bo's ownership, we're going to make it a destination track in 2026 and beyond. His investment will help us upgrade equipment, improve facilities, and keep all the things that make this track great." Adding to the leadership team, Kimberly Austin will continue in her role as Race Director for both Ararat BullRing and Oak Level Raceway. She has earned praise for her professionalism and dedication throughout the 2025 season, helping ensure smooth race nights and fair competition for every driver. Miller also recently purchased Oak Level Raceway in Bassett, VA — a once-forgotten facility that had become overgrown and inactive. Under Miller's ownership and Austin's direction, Oak Level Raceway is being fully revived and will reopen in 2026, complementing Ararat BullRing's growing reputation as one of the region's most exciting dirt tracks. "We've come a long way at Oak Level Raceway, and Langley and his wife Kimberly have made magic happen at Ararat BullRing this season," said Miller. "We're going to step that up another notch next year. There won't be two better places to race or watch racing in 2026. We're also going to work with other area tracks — it's important that we all pull together and make the local dirt track scene stronger than it's ever been." The 2025 season at Ararat BullRing will conclude with two major events — the Stock4 World Championship and the Dirty Turkey Derby, both scheduled for November, wrapping up a landmark year for the track. Looking ahead to 2026, both Ararat BullRing and Oak Level Raceway will feature a full schedule of grassroots racing, including similar divisions and staple events that fans have already embraced — ensuring that these two venues will stand as the heartbeat of the local racing scene in Southwest Virginia. "There are bigger and nicer facilities around," said Austin, "but these two tracks are going to be the heartbeat of the local racing scene in Southwest Virginia. They'll represent everything that's right about small-town, big-passion short track racing." Event Details: Working Man Dirt Nationals 📍 Ararat BullRing - Ararat, VA 🗓 Saturday, October 25, 2025 🏁 Featuring Pro4, Stock4, Crown Vics, Enduros, and Vintage Racers About Bo Miller Owner of Miller Brothers Racing, Bo Miller has been involved in regional and national dirt late model racing for years, fielding cars for his son Carder Miller. His mission now is to grow and sustain the local racing scene through his ownership of both Ararat BullRing and Oak Level Raceway. About Langley & Kimberly Austin Langley Austin, founder of RACE22.com, Pit Chatter Media, and The BullRing Banter Podcast, has been a key figure in short track racing for over two decades. After years of promoting asphalt events at Franklin County Speedway, he transitioned to dirt promotion at Ararat BullRing, where he and his wife Kimberly, the track's Race Director, have helped spark a dirt racing revival across the region.

- PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks Join USAC/CRA Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris
Perris, California — October 13, 2025 — The 2025 racing season at Perris Auto Speedway charges into the home stretch this Saturday night, October 18th, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to headline an action-packed card that also features the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks. Spectator gates for the thrilling night of high-speed dirt track racing and family fun open at 5:00 PM, with the first green flag waving at 7:00. 536269761_31673829025541317_8566279818282748774_n.jpg Street Stock point leader Shawn Estes is undefeated at Perris Auto Speedway in 2025. Kenny Lonngren photo. The 29th season at the popular Riverside County half-mile clay oval is winding down with just five races to go. The USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars will be in action this Saturday, October 18th, November 1st, and November 8th. LKQ Pick Your Part will present the final two Nights of Destruction on October 18th and November 22nd. Going into the last Super Stock race on September 27th, it had been the year of Yucaipa's Chuck Becker. The four-time track champion was still chasing his first win of the season but had finished runner-up in the first four races and built a comfortable points lead. However, disaster struck that night, taking Becker out early and opening the door for Banning's Ricky Lee. The 2023 Super Stock champ capitalized with a big win and now trails Becker by only three points heading into Saturday's showdown. Victorville's Rick Arringdale, a former PAS stock car champ in 1998 and 2001, sits third in the standings. Beaumont's Steven Welch and Bakersfield's second-generation racer Billy Simkins round out the top five. In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Riverside's Shawn Estes, the 2012 class champion, has been unbeatable in 2025—sweeping every heat and main event so far this season. That perfect record has earned him a commanding 22-point lead over George Leventis of Palos Verdes with three races remaining. Estes' son in law, Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda, ranks third. He is followed by Ohio transplant Evan Sennett of Riverside and 2021 champion Brandon Kelly, who are ranked fourth and fifth. On the USAC/CRA side, Laveen, Arizona's RJ Johnson—the defending series champion—has found his groove, winning the last two main events at The PAS. Those back-to-back victories, his only USAC/CRA wins of the season, have helped him stretch his lead to 65 points over Oxnard's Ricky Lewis with five races left (three at Perris and two next week at Central Arizona Raceway). Lewis, who led the standings for much of the year, still tops the win chart with eight triumphs in 2025. Four of his wins have came in the first eight races at Perris. "The Big Game Hunter" Austin Williams of Corona, San Diego's AJ Bender, and Yucaipa's Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm complete the top five. Saturday's tickets are $35.00 for those 13 years old and over. Kids (6-12) get in for $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, but plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available at the gate. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.

- After a Week in Yosemite, Brody Roa Heads Back to Battle at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Cypress, CA - October 12, 2025 — After a week of camping and recharging with his wife and daughters in the majestic Yosemite National Park, a rejuvenated Brody Roa is ready to get back behind the wheel when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, October 18th. For Roa, it's the first of three races in four weeks at the legendary Riverside County half-mile oval. Saturday's showdown comes just two weeks after another impressive performance from the veteran racer at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he earned his second In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger award of the season. The Garden Grove, California star has a special connection with Mohave. It is the site of one of the most thrilling victories of his career, when he stormed from 11th to win a 30-lap USAC/CRA main event in dominating fashion on October 8, 2022. At the same track two weeks ago, Roa qualified 14th out of 28 cars with a lap of 14.549. He then piloted his immaculate #91R sprint car to a convincing victory in the first heat race of the night. It was his fifth USAC/CRA heat race win of 2025. True to form, Roa started deep in the feature but wasted no time charging through the pack. In the 30-lap main event, the 34-year-old methodically picked off eight competitors to claim a hard-earned sixth-place finish. So far this season in his own #91R machine, Roa has started nine main events, finishing in the top ten every time except for one. That came in June at Perris in a race that he had just taken the lead before being sidelined by misfortune. His 2025 stats include three top-five finishes and a season-best third at Perris three weeks ago. At Perris this year, Roa's average main event finish is a solid 7.28. Remove the race he was knocked out of, and that number improves to an impressive 5.66. That fine number offers proof that "The Pride of Garden Grove" is as fast and focused as ever heading into Saturday night's return to the "Southern California Home of USAC/CRA." Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking (payment for parking is by card only). Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

- Big Money On The Line in ESS Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints are set to take the track on Friday at the Outlaw Speedway. As part of the annual Hoag Memorial weekend, Fridays main event will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start, with $100 of tow money offered to drivers that don't make the show. Fridays event is also part of a two day challenge. Saturday, the CRSA 305 sprints will take the track in another $4,000 to win affair, and a $5,000 bonus has been put up for any driver that wins on Friday in 360 competition with the Empire Super Sprints and Saturday in 305 competition with the CRSA Sprints. If successful, one driver could leave the weekend with $13,000. Two separate point funds have been set aside this weekend as well, one for any driver that competes Friday in a 360 and Saturday in a 305, along with one for any driver that competes in a 305 both nights. As Fridays event is an Empire Super Sprints sanctioned event, all cars competing will need to adhere to the ESS rulebook, including having front axle tethers and running an HTC plated Medium 1 tire. Cars competing in the Saturday portion will similarly need to adhere to the CRSA rulebook. Leading the charge into the weekend is Jordan Thomas, who picked up the Empire Super Sprints win back in September at the Outlaw Speedway. Thomas is expected to have a 305 under the hood Saturday as well, in hopes of taking home the $13,000 if he can complete the weekend sweep. As the 2025 points season concluded two weeks ago at the Fulton Speedway where Jordan Poirier was crowned the champion, Friday's event at Outlaw will not award points and the standings are considered final. Gate times, prices, a schedule of events and any other pertinent information for this weekend's activities can be found on the Empire Super Sprints, CRSA Sprints and Outlaw Speedway social media pages, along with each organizations web pages. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints). The Empire Super Sprints would like to thank the following series sponsors for their continued support: Rifenburg Contracting Corp, Hoosier Racing Tire, Cobra Motorhomes & Trailers, E&V Energy, A-Verdi Storage Containers, Elab Smokers Boutique, Pinnacle Investments, LLC, Lacaillade Masonry, Inc., Wilwood Disc Brakes, FX Caprara, Lanes Yamaha, Ashley Lynn Winery, Slade Precision Shocks, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Bicknell Racing Products, and DirtTrackDigest.com.
