- Mintz kisses the cow at Fremont for 305 fair race win
FREMONT, Ohio - Craig Mintz started racing sprint cars 25 years ago in the 305 sprint division. He's not sure he ever got a win in that class but he is sure not. Mintz, from Gibsonburg, Ohio, drove to the win Monday, Aug. 18 on Fremont Fence Kiss the Cow Night in the 305 sprint feature at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction. The race opened the 173rd Sandusky County Fair. Bryan Sebetto led the first seven laps of the 30-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature before Mintz took over. Mintz, a four time 410 sprint champion at "The Track That Action Built," built a substantial lead before a caution flew at the half-way mark. He pulled away when the green came back out while Sebetto soon surrendered second to Kasey Jedrzejek and third to Kalib Henry. Another caution with just four laps to go kept Mintz out of heavy lapped traffic. Mintz pulled away for his 19th career Fremont win over Jedrzejek, Sebetto, Henry and Dustin Stroup. Mintz donated the $1,500 top prize to the Liberty Center, which helps individuals, families with children, the homeless and domestic violence survivors. "This is a blast. I have to thank Gressman Powersports for putting a pretty good bullet under this thing. I don't know…I'll have to look back…but I don't think we've ever won a 305 race here. I have to thank my dad…it's just me and him tonight with my family," said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Elite Wings, Post 733 Bettsville American Legion, Design Graphics Group, Kistler Racing Engines, Keizer Wheels, Linder Speed Equipment backed #09. In the ladies powder puff dirt truck race, Shelly Farmer took her second career win a Fremont Speedway. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 6 for championship night for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group for the 410 sprints and the Real Geese Decoys/Real Capz AFCS for the 305 sprints with the Burmeister Dirt Trucks also in action.

The program is named to honor Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident seven years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway. Two divisions in particular find red-hot battles for championships. The Hermitage Lumber Late Model division finds Robbe Ewing of Stockton taking a 34-point lead into the final night of the regular season over JC Morton of Springfield. While Morton has won four features and Ewing just one, Ewing has been a model of consistency with six second-place finishes and on third. Should adversity strike the top two, Tucker Cox of Jefferson City is within striking distance 74 points behind Ewing. The tightest points race is in the Hickamo Super Stocks where Tim Brown of Stoutland, with 10 top-five finishes in 11 races, clings to a 14-point over over Tony Anglin of Walnut Ridge, Ark. Both Brown and Anglin are former winners of the Hickamo Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt, the 9th annual of which will be contested Oct. 9-10. Nic Bidinger of Perry, Kan., paces the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified division with six top-fives in nine events. He's 92 points clear of former track champion Ryan Middaugh of Fulton. Meanwhile, Jon Sheets of Nevada has used four feature wins to open a 103-point command over Trevor Drake of Brighton in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA M-Mods. The driver with the biggest cushion of all the leaders is Mason Beck of Urbana who brings a 106-point lead over Lebanon's William Garner into championship night. Beck has driven to three feature wins and 10 top-five finishes in 11 events.

- Xavier Doney Reigns as 2025 Missouri State Fair Champ with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints
Sedalia, MO. (8/18/25) Xavier Doney would use precision and perfect timing with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League in the Missouri State Fair Finale presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his first seasonal league victory and earn the hard-fought feature victory at Missouri State Fair Speedway. Speeding up excitement onto the smooth surfaces of Missouri State Fair Speedway with twenty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints would see Joe B Miller set a quick qualifying time of 17.900-second lap with Clinton Boyles, Gage Montgomery, and Taylor Walton each earning heat racing victories. Hyping the pack crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Kameron Key and Clinton Boyles lined up in the front row, as Clinton Boyles would gain the lead early and appear to be on his way to victory lane. Overtaking for the top spot using lap traffic, Xavier Doney would shoot low out of turn two and capitalize on the winning pass with only five laps remaining, with Clinton Boyles settling into second. Holding steady for the final five revolutions, Xavier Doney would not be denied in earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event, with Clinton Boyles showing no driver's rust by hustling into the runner-up position late. "That was a hell of a race, keeping pace with Clinton and earning the win through lap traffic," said a thrilled Xavier Doney in victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding "Great way to pick up our first win of the season, the track changed, and I was able to find the rubber low through one and two and took advantage of it." Contesting closely behind would find Kameron Key placing on the final podium placement from the starting pole on the initial green flag. Ayrton Gennetten would be among the frontrunners all feature to finish fourth as hard-charger Rees Moran would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League in the Missouri State Fair Finale presented by Start2Finish TV at Missouri State Fair Speedway.

- Mann, What a Race! Jett Mann Captures First Career GLSS Win at Butler Saturday
Quincy, MI - The second night of a doubleheader weekend brought some different drivers to the table, hoping to find victory lane with the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP. A mix of championship hopefuls and ringers looking for a win put on an intense show for fans at Butler Motor Speedway. Alongside Boston Mead, Jett Mann led the field to the green ahead of the 25-lap main event on Saturday night. Mann held off Dustin Daggett and Jared Horstman to lead the opening lap. Mead fought back into third behind Daggett putting Horstman back to fourth ahead of Chase Ridenour. The first caution flag of the night came out just four laps in when Phil Gressman spun at the bottom of turn one. On the restart, things remained relatively unchanged throughout the field until the halfway mark of the race when the leaders started working through heavy lapped traffic. On lap 15, Mann missed the bottom entering turn one, opening the door for Daggett to get to his inside. Daggett took the lead down the backstretch and now had the task of navigating lapped traffic. The pass for the lead allowed Boston Mead to work back into the conversation for the top spot. With eight laps to go, Daggett caught a piece of the tractor tire exiting the turn, which gave Mann a run going into three. Entering the turn, Daggett was taking a big arch to try to get under a lapped car, opening the door for Mann on the extreme bottom. The pair made contact and bumped side-by-side several times until the center of the corner, when Mann was able to drive away, and Daggett spun to the bottom of the track which was the preferred line. Daggett attempted to hit the spin cycle and drive out of the incident, but with heavy traffic coming into three, officials called a caution which sent the No.85 to the tail, setting up a final restart with less than 10 to go. Mann was able to hold off Mead and Jared Horstman for his first career GLSS Feature victory in just his second start since a vicious crash at I-96 Speedway in June. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP is Friday, August 22nd from Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario, Canada, and Saturday, August 23rd from Buxton Speedway. Fans who can't make the trip can catch the action live on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV. Max Stambaugh set the Ti22 Performance Quick Time. Max Stambaugh won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race one. Dustin Daggett won Beacon & Bridge Market Heat Race two. Jett Mann won Miami Pain Heat Race three. Michigan CAT A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 19-Jett Mann[2]; 2. 42-Boston Mead[1]; 3. 17-Jared Horstman[3]; 4. 38-Chase Ridenour[5]; 5. 71H-Max Stambaugh[6]; 6. 16-Ryan Ruhl[7]; 7. 23-Devon Dobie[9]; 8.

- Showman And Promoter Jack Gunn To Be Honored Friday At Grove - 410 sprint special pays 8K to win in 43rd annual running
Mechanicsburg - For the 43rd season in a row, Williams Grove Speedway will honor one of the finest showman and promoters the East has ever known on Friday night when the York Building Products Jack Gunn Memorial for 410 sprint cars is contested. First run in 1983, the Gunn Memorial honors late Williams Grove promoter Jack Gunn, a native of Hancock, Maryland. The 2025 event will be the 43rd annual Gunn Memorial and the winner's list is impressive to say the least. Bobby Allen was the first winner in 1983 with additional names on the win list like Frankie Kerr, Jason Johnson, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer, Daryn Pittman, Keith Kauffman and many others. However no driver has claimed more Gunn Memorials over the years than the now retired Don Kreitz Jr. Jack Gunn was a Hall of Fame Promoter who heralded the speedway as promoter from 1967 until his untimely death from cancer at the age of 48 in 1980. He began working at the track during the early 1960s as an announcer and honed his skill on the microphone while eventually relaying his talents into the ovals captain. It was during his tenure at the helm of Williams Grove Speedway that Gunn rose to prominence on the local and national scene and he took the facility with him. During his career at Williams Grove, Gunn also promoted with much success at other area tracks. Gunns mark on both Williams Grove and the region itself was to help raise sprint car racing to not only a weekly division but a premiere weekly headline division at that. With his hand guiding them, Gunn first lured and then brought the likes of Jan Opperman, Bobby Allen, Steve Smith and more to the area to race, make a living and ultimately to make a home in this rich racing region. Gunn was feted nationally as 1979 Promoter of the Year. While at the top of his game, he not only stood at the helm at both Williams Grove and Selinsgrove Speedways, but he was also doing the job at Hagerstown, (Maryland) and Penn National Speedways. In his day, Jack Gunn was known as the most powerful promoter in the East. And it is that reputation and skill that Williams Grove Speedway will honor yet again this week with the running of the Jack Gunn Memorial. Gates will open at 5:30 pm with action getting underway at 7:30 pm. Adult general admission is set at $25 with youth ages 13 - 20 admitted for just $10. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

For the sprint cars, the race will be part of the 2025 Hoosier Diamond Series in which Troy Wagaman is the current point leader. Wagaman also leads the overall chase for the track title as the season heads into the homestretch. The 410 sprints will be racing for an $8,000 top prize in the 30-lap Gunn Memorial, run annually to honor the late Hall of Fame promoter. Time trials will set the heat starting grids with the fastest qualifier earning $300 for the Fast Tees Fast Time Award. Each 20 lap main for the sportsman will pay $1,000 to the winner. Anthony Macri is the defending Jack Gunn Memorial Champion.
