- Stambaugh Thrills Hometown Crowd in Second Straight GLSS Win
Lima, OH - For the second straight week, three-time and defending Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) Champion, Max Stambaugh, took a trip to GLSS Victory Lane. The variable this week, the win was his first GLSS-sanctioned win at his home track to open the Ohio CAT Division season. Stambaugh and defending Ohio CAT Division Champion, Dustin Daggett, led the field to the green flag. Stambaugh's luck continued on the redraw, pulling the number one pill for the third week in a row. On the opening lap, the two defending champions went at it wheel-to-wheel before Stambaugh was able to get the edge. Meanwhile, Mike Keegan began to fall through the top 10 while Dalman settled into the third spot. Phil Gressman, Zeth Sabo, and Keegan all battled for the 4th through 6th spots throughout the better part of the race. Elsewhere, Ohio natives Chase Dunham, Devon Dobie, and Jared Horstman were locked in a tight battle within the top 10. The only caution of the night came just after halfway when Luke Griffith spun in turns three and four. Griffith was able to continue. On the restart, Keegan charged his way back onto the podium while Stambaugh raced away from Daggett once again. For the second week in a row, Stambaugh led flag-to-flag to earn his second win of the 2025 season. "It's been a while, Limaland," Stambaugh said in Victory Lane. "It's the best I've felt here in a long time. Just winning in front of where I grew up, my dad's here, my mom - it just means a lot," an emotional Stambaugh finished in Victory Lane. Zeth Sabo earned the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award and won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race Number One, while Stambaugh won Howard Johnson by Wyndham Heat Race Number Two. Jared Horstamn earned the Operating Engineers 324 Hard Charger advancing three spots. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, May 9th in a return to I-96 Speedway.

- Rains Kill Williams Grove Program Mid-Stream Friday, Outlaws Are Next Week
Mechanicsburg - Friday night's sprint car races at Williams Grove Speedway were cancelled when rains hit the track in the middle of the program. Time trials had been completed for the 33 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars on hand and the make-up 358 sprint feature was on the track when light rain hit, putting a halt to action. After a brief shower the track was ironed in and the cars were again on the track, forming up for the start of the make-up feature again when a bout of heavier rain doused the track, ending the night. Rainchecks from May 2 will be honored. Visit www.williamsgrove.com to view the complete raincheck policy. Prior to the rains, Anthony Macri of Dillsburg set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 16.550 seconds. Macri's fast time was just five one-thousandths of a second off of the quick time that he posted when the track was last in action back on April 18. Heat lineups for the 410 sprints were set with pole positions in each of the four events earned by Macri, Lucas Wolfe, Troy Wagaman Jr. and Danny Dietrich. The make-up Dirty Deeds 358 sprint feature from April 4 will now be contested on May 16. Williams Grove Speedway will host the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup weekend for World of Outlaws and Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars coming up Friday and Saturday, May 9 and 10 at 7:30 pm both nights. The HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup will find the outlaws and local Pennsylvania Posse sprint car drivers squaring off in a 25 lap main on Friday with the big prize up for grabs on Saturday night when a 30-lap feature is contested. The winner will score $12,000 on Friday night before Saturday's finale pays $15,000 to win plus another $5,000 for Morgan Cup bragging rights, setting up a cool $20,000 take for the finale winner.

- Sexton Gatlin Racing Returns to Placerville Speedway This Weekend
Lakeside, CA, May 1, 2025 — This Friday and Saturday, May 2nd and 3rd, Sexton Gatlin Racing (SGR) will make its highly anticipated return to Placerville Speedway as drivers Brent Sexton and his son Grant compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series (USCS) at the iconic Northern California venue. This marks the Lakeside, California-based team's first appearance at Placerville since a dominant showing in 2022. SGR's last outing at the red clay oval was as part of the show at the three-night Hangtown 100 in November 2022, which was co-sanctioned by the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and Bay Cities Racing Association. The team swept all three main events that weekend: San Diego's AJ Bender took victories on the first two nights, with Grant Sexton finishing second and sixth. On the final night, it was 17-year-old Grant's turn to shine, claiming the win with Bender right behind in second. Brent, a three-time lightning sprint car series champion, also made all three main events in 2022, finishing fifth, 12th, and 15th. His oldest son, Dalton, qualified for all three mains as well, earning finishes of 10th, 12th, and 15th. This Friday, Brent returns to the seat for one night only before heading off for his annual vacation in Cabo San Lucas. He enters the weekend ranked fourth in USCS points, just four digits out of third. In four starts this season, Brent's best finish was a fifth-place showing at Ocean Speedway on March 28. Grant, now 20, will be racing both nights. Thus far, he has made two USCS starts in 2025. He earned an eighth-place finish at Ventura Raceway on March 8 and was poised for a top-five finish at Bakersfield on April 12 before contact with another car knocked him out of contention, resulting in a 17th-place finish. He currently sits 20th in the championship standings.

- Nick is King!
Beaver Dam, WI - Nick Avelink was crowned King of the Supply Zone Shootout at the Glen Hefner Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway to kick off the start of the 2025 WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour in BMRE Electrick Carts Victory Lane. The win was Anvelink's 28th WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour victory and his second in a row at Beaver Dam Raceway. Anvelink was also the Champ Pans Fast Qualifier with a 13.657 lap. Mitch McGrath was the Ken's Sports Inc. Pole Sitter, leading the field to the green flag alongside Jordan Yaggy. McGrath led the first three laps, with Anvelink in second, as he challenged McGrath for the lead, from the top side of the track. On the fourth lap, Avenlink took the lead as they raced back to the line. Behind them, Jake Redetzke had moved to third and passed McGrath for second on lap six. Avenlink had pulled away from the pack and was approaching the tail end of the field by lap nine. Anvelnink had a 2.134 second lead on Redetzke who battled with Mike Mullen for second, as Mullen took second spot as they all worked through traffic. Avenlink maintained his lead at the halfway point and had a 3.422 second advantage over Redetzke, who took the second spot away from Mullen. Caution slowed the field with just eight laps remaining for a spin in turn four. On the restart, Anvelink retained the lead and caution slowed the field one lap later. McGrath spun in turn two, bringing out the caution and then the red flag as Paul Niznik slowed to avoid the stopped car of McGrath and then flipped as Kurt Moeller got together with Niznik. The momentum flipped Niznik in turn two, bringing out the red flag. Niznik was able to get out of his car, but it took some time to safely move the car. Anvelink jumped out to a 1.952 second lead over Redetzke, Taylor Scheffler, Yaggy and Mullen when green flag racing resumed. Anvelink went on to finish 3.213 seconds aheads of Redetzke. Scheffler finished third followed by Yaggy and Mullen. J.T. Wasmund finished sixth, followed by Justin Ritchie, Brett Swedberg, Brad Mueller and Troy Springborn. Next up for the WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour is a Double Header Weekend at Outagamie Speedway on Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24 at Shawano Speedway.

- Arenz rockets to IRA runner-up at Beaver Dam Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 30, 2025 - Travis Arenz opened his 18th overall season of competition and third full-time campaign with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series in stellar fashion by guiding his 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports team entry to an impressive second place showing in the Glenn Hepfner Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 26. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver turned in a strong seventh-place qualifying run in the 29-car field with a lap of 11.812 seconds on the high-banked third-mile clay oval. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion turned an outside front row starting position in the first 8-lap IRA heat race into his first heat race victory of the 2025 campaign. Arenz then started on the pole in the second 4-lap IRA dash before coming home second to gain the fourth starting spot in the 30-lap headliner. A wide, slick, multi-groove racing surface proved to be right in Arenz's wheelhouse as he battled among the lead group of Jake Neuman, Blake Nimee and Scotty Thiel throughout the race. After dueling back and forth with Nimee and Thiel inside the top 10, Arenz finally seized control of the runner-up spot in the closing laps and held on to nail down a second place showing behind race winner Jake Neuman. "Overall, I'm pleased with how the night went," Arenz said. "I qualified decent, won my heat race and drew the pole for the dash. That's pretty much my ideal night. I was happy with how the track progressed throughout the night. It made for good multi-lane racing for the feature. I felt like the car was really good. I can definitely see the 25T being in victory lane this season. To do that, I think I need to be a little more aggressive in traffic than I was on Saturday night." Next up for the Travis Arenz Motorsports team is the IRA Dick Colburn Classic Open Wheel Spectacular at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 3. Non-Wing Crate Sprint Cars, Winged Crate Sprint Cars and Lightning Sprints are also on the card. Pit gates open at 2 p.m., and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. Hot laps will begin at 5:45 p.m., and racing will begin at 6:45 p.m. In the event of rain, Sunday, May 4 is the listed rain date. The 2025 Travis Arenz Motorsports sponsorship partners include Professional Plating Inc., Service One Transportation Inc., Don and Lynn Kiel, Oostburg Concrete, Wittkopp Funeral and Cremation Services, Pfeffer Trucking, Carbliss, Oostburg State Bank, Pallett Works, Jensen Sales and Service, Roth's Auto Restoration, Sonntag Plumbing Inc., Amy Bruechert Realty, Lake Auto Glass, Fastenal, Hair Fellers Barbershop, Arenz Auto Detailing and Duehring's Tax Service.

Travis Arenz Motorsports Sponsor Showcase - Don and Lynn Kiel Don and Lynn Kiel's first date came when they attended a race at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. in June 1998 and they have been together ever since, marrying on Feb. 14, 2005. Lynn spent her working career in the banking industry retiring after 39 years in 2017 as an assistant vice-president at a local Manitowoc bank. Lynn's interest in racing started when she attended the races at the 141 Speedway as a child with her dad, Andy Endries. RIP ANDY! Don's interest in racing started when he bought Dean Divine's Modified in the early 1970s. Don's driving experience involved Modifieds and Mini Sprints, as well as 360 Sprint Cars at Manitowoc Expo Speedway in 2011 and 2012. Don spent four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting the night of his graduation party. He was honorably discharged after four years in 1967 as an Airman First Class. Don was a Minuteman Missile electrician serving as team chief his last year and got to take part in the test firing of four Minuteman Missiles at Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc, Calif. Don was based at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo. for 41 months. Don started flying in Cheyenne at the age of 19, secured his first flying job three days after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force at age 22 and retired at age 60. He retired as Senior Captain on the 300-passenger Airbus A 330-300 flying to London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. He has logged over 30,000 hours of flying time with a lot of stories to tell. For a glimpse of Don's career, Google Don Kiel Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame. For a view of his favorite aircraft that he owned for four years, check out the Warbird Takeoff by looking up Beech 18 Takeoff Great Radial Engine Sound on YouTube. Click on the 32-second video. Don and Lynn continue to fly his 1952 Cessna 170B, both on wheels and skis in the winter. Don loves to say, "It's pretty cool when your vocation and avocation are one and the same!" "We started out sponsoring Travis Arenz by buying him a set of rear tires five years ago and the rest is history," Don Kiel said. "Travis is a very talented racer from the tiniest detail to the actual racing. I love to watch Travis feel the track out and then work his magic. I sponsor Travis as I feel he is one of the best!"
