Hello everyone,
Here we are just a month away from the Season Opener, March 1, 2025, at Tucson Speedway. We will also have Meet-N-Greet on track for all the fans. We are all looking forward to a great year because of all of you, the Racers, Sponsors and Fans. We are excited to have the ARCA West Series return to the track on April 4-5, 2025.
CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners and racers at the 2025 Chilly Willy. The Super Late Model track record was broken starting with Kole Raz 14.951 during Friday Qualifying and Jace Hansen broke it during Saturday Qualifying with a 14.891. Six drivers qualified in the 14 second bracket over the weekend. Kole Raz and Jace Hansen won the main events Friday and Kole Raz and Michael Scott won Saturdays events. Hansen took the lead from Raz after a late caution to win the Chilly Willy 150.
The INEX Legends always make this a great show with more than 50 cars on hand for this Regional/National Qualifier event for them. Taylor Mayhew won the Young Lion/Semi Pro main event Friday with Jaron Giannini winning the Pro/Masters. Saturday was another great day with Chase Burgeson winning the Young Lion/Semi Pro and Jeremy Doss winning the Pro/Master events. Sunday, Taylor Mayhew and Jaron Giannini are in the winner’s circle again to finish out a great racing weekend for all.
