Red Light Racing’s Skitter Creek SK Modifieds drivers roared into historic South Boston Speedway on March 6, 2025. It was a return to winning ways for Eric Stout. Stout and his teammate, AJ Hamel, appeared to be the class of the field before disappointment struck Hamel. Hamel had a late race spin while battling for the lead with Stout, Hamel finishing in 18th as a result. Bradley Stefane came home second, and Scott Negus completed the podium with his third place finish. Brian Bianchi and Kenny Allen rounded out the top 5.
Stout claimed the pole position in qualifying, turning a 14.432 second lap. Rex Hoyle, Hamel, Brian Bianchi, and Scott Negus qualified 2nd – 5th, respectively, all turning laps less than a tenth of a second off of Stout’s pace.
The race had 4 cautions, the most significant being the tangle between Stout and Hamel while battling for the lead on lap 98. Hamel, on the inside line, made light contact with Stout on the outside, which sent Stout spinning toward the inside wall. Hamel had put on an impressive performance prior to the spin. He took the lead from Stout on a restart on lap 36. Hamel led a total of 63 laps, the most of any driver in the race.
Stout led a total of 40 laps and Bradley Stefane led a single lap of the green-white-checkered extended event. Other notable performances included Stefane and Fred LeClair both winning the Hard Charger of the Race Award, each gaining 9 spots from their starting positions. Stefane started in 11th and finished 2nd and LeClair started 18th and finished 9th. Eric Stout turned the fastest lap of the race completing lap 10 in just 14.501 seconds. Nine drivers finished the race without any incident points: Negus, Bianchi, Allen, Stefane, Buckley, LeClair, Oliver, Blake, and Haizlip.
With the win, Stout extends his grip on the championship point standings, he’s now 47 points ahead of Stefane, who moved into 2nd place in the standings. Rex Hoyle, Kenny Allen, and Brian Bianchi round out the top 5 in the standings, all within 10 points of Stefane for second place.

BRL Late Model Invitational S29R09 | Oswego Speedway
The high-octane action of Season 29 Round 09 kicked off with Chris Haizlip and Bruce Pearson leading the charge to the green flag! Haizlip shot out of the gate, but Pearson had to hold off a fierce dive from Todd Liston as they thundered into Turn 1, resulting in a nail-biting contact! Liston seized 2nd place, with Tre Blohm lurking just behind as he eyed Pearson for 3rd when a caution waved on Lap 2.
As the engines roared back to life on Lap 6, Haizlip and Liston resumed their battle at the front. Haizlip bolted ahead, but Blohm executed a daring inside maneuver on Liston, claiming 2nd. It didn’t take long for Blohm to challenge Haizlip; by Lap 6, he was alongside him through Turns 3 and 4, and on Lap 7, he snagged the lead! Liston soon followed suit, relegating Haizlip to 3rd, while Ed Sprenger seized 4th from Pearson. Another caution dampened the excitement briefly on Lap 9. Racing kicked back into gear on Lap 14 with Blohm and Liston at the helm once more. Blohm cleared the field and Liston settled into 2nd comfortably, but Haizlip was feeling the heat from Pearson! A quarter of the way through, the pack settled into mostly single-file racing, but occasional challenges kept the tension high.
By Lap 36, the battle intensified as Haizlip found himself under attack from Pearson on the outside while Adam Schoen joined the fray. But the outside line faltered, causing Pearson to fall back while Schoen held onto the 4th spot. On Lap 39, Schoen made a bold move inside Haizlip, claiming 3rd! Meanwhile, Blohm was cruising with over a second lead by Lap 41. Caution swept through again on Lap 49, but when action resumed on Lap 54, Blohm and Liston were right back at it! With Blohm pulling ahead, Liston settled in for 2nd. Schoen was holding down 3rd as Pearson clashed with Mike Holloway for 4th, with Pearson ultimately taking the victory in that duel. However, on Lap 58, Brennan Myers swooped in, making a stunning inside move on Pearson to snatch 4th for himself!
Speeding toward Lap 61, Schoen executed a thrilling maneuver going into Turn 1, overtaking Liston to claim 2nd! The drama continued on Lap 82, where Myers and Davis fought tooth and nail for 4th, with Myers completing the pass! But the excitement was cut short by a caution on Lap 88. When things restarted on Lap 93, Blohm and Schoen reignited the battle at the front. Blohm fired off the line like a rocket, but Schoen struggled to find traction on the outside, allowing Myers to push 3-wide into Turn 1, leading to an incredible pile-up on the frontstretch! The caution brought the race to a halt on Lap 93.
Once action resumed on Lap 98, it was Blohm and James Lowe vying for dominance. Blohm held strong, but Lowe kept the pressure on from the outside, inching closer with every lap. As the white flag waved on Lap 99, Lowe was at Blohm’s bumper heading into Turn 1. But Blohm found a burst of speed, pulling ahead down the backstretch. As they roared out of Turn 4, it was Blohm who triumphed, claiming victory in Season 29 Round 09 at Oswego Speedway! James Lowe crossed the line in a valiant 2nd place, and the current season points leader, Aiden Young, rounded out the top three in 3rd.

Every Tuesday at 8:30pm ET, fans are in for a treat as the Virtual Grip Network brings these electrifying races to your screens live on YouTube, showcasing the heart-pounding action of Tour Modified racing, which boasts roots going back to the iconic 1966 season.
Rex Hoyle and Jerry Isaacs led a massive 30-car field onto the hallowed grounds of Daytona International Speedway for the Season 2 Round 01 of the YesterYear Tour Modified Series. Isaacs stormed off the line with a fantastic start, darting ahead, only to be quickly caught by a tightly packed field – bumper to bumper, these modifieds were ready for battle! A near disaster loomed on turns three and four as a car grazed the yellow line, but the driver skillfully maintained control, keeping the race alive and electrifying. As the race unfolded on Lap 3, it became clear that the frontrunners were settling into a furious two-by-two formation, drafting and outpacing the competition. But chaos reignited on Lap 5 when a car careened through the grass without a caution flag flying, keeping the momentum going! By Lap 6, the top six cars formed a single-file line, extending their lead to about a second ahead of the rest, while Lap 7 saw the first caution of the night triggered when a car slammed into the wall. The pit stops under caution due to fuel concerns on Lap 11 shook things up as Isaacs and Dale Copeland emerged to lead the pack. Over the next laps, three distinct racing packs formed, with the top six cars seeking glory at the front and a lone tandem battle forming behind.
Fast forward to Lap 36, and a new leader emerged – Mark Fisch, with Jonathan Theer providing a mighty push from behind! The intensity cranked up again with green flag pit stops on Lap 41 as the tension hung in the air. On Lap 42, Copeland seized the lead, but a twist as he pitted on Lap 43 saw the lead pass to Ken Allen. The drama intensified on Lap 47 when Isaacs surged back into the top spot, making a daring outside move from third! Lap 53 saw Gavin Adams nipping at Isaacs’ heels, seizing the lead in a spectacular twist of fortune. As we entered the later stages, lead changes became common, with Isaacs and Allen exchanging blows as they tore through the track. By Lap 58, Isaacs and Allen crafted a two-car pack, looking unstoppable as they approached the finale. Then it came down to the wire! The excitement surged on Lap 70 with pit stops once again shaking up the leaderboard. Isaacs, with a solid four-second lead, rejoined the action, but Fisch and Adams weren’t backing down, making a fierce comeback. Fisch took command on Lap 81, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats! As the final lap approached, Isaacs and Allen built an impressive eight-second cushion over Adams and Liston, but Liston had different plans. Lap 98 saw him make a critical move, passing Adams for third. With the tension building, lapped traffic disrupted Allen’s momentum, and in a heart-pounding moment, Isaacs, 0.3 seconds behind, battled the lap cars only to brush against the apron, losing crucial speed. In a breathtaking finish, Allen capitalized on the situation, catching Isaacs as they charged towards the checkered flag. With a burst of speed, he snatched the victory right from Isaacs’ grasp! Todd Liston rounded out the amazing podium performance, finishing third after starting way back in 21st!

Meanwhile, Bruce Pearson was holding strong in 3rd, but Lowell Jewell was hot on his heels in 4th. The battle heated up as Jewell found an opening on Lap 16, diving inside of Pearson. Side by side they went for a nail-biting moment, but Jewell completed the pass, leaving Pearson to fend off John Heyn, who was gunning for 5th and successfully secured the position.

BRL Late Model Invitational S29R07 | Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway
The excitement was palpable as Season 29 Round 07 thundered to life at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway! Ed Sprenger and Bruce Pearson took the front row, with Sprenger swiftly clearing Pearson off the start. But not for long! Pearson showcased his skill on turns 3 and 4, making a daring pass to lead the first lap.
However, a caution on Lap 2 brought the action to a brief halt. Once the green flag waved again on Lap 5, it was an explosive restart with Pearson and Sprenger leading the pack. Pearson launched ahead, while Sprenger battled Chris Davis for second place, ultimately holding him off as Davis settled in third.
Davis wasn’t done yet, though! He fired his engines on Lap 9, looking to get past Sprenger but got a bit loose and had to regroup. He made another bold attempt on Lap 16, getting under Sprenger in turns 3 and 4, but Sprenger’s momentum on the outside kept him ahead. A bump on the backstretch later, Davis finally snagged second, with James Lowe sliding up to third.
The plot thickened on Lap 24 when Davis went for the lead, diving inside Pearson, finally taking control on Lap 25. Lowe followed suit, displacing Pearson to second, leaving the former leader to fight for his position. Davis and Lowe began to stretch their lead, creating a one-second gap over third-place Pearson by Lap 31.
Just as it looked like they might pull away for good, caution struck again on Lap 43. The stage was set for a thrilling restart! On Lap 48, Davis and Lowe were back in the front, with Davis exploding off the line but Lowe quickly slid into second. Aiden Young wasn’t far behind, plotting his attack into third.
Lap 51 saw Lowe and Davis go head-to-head, exchanging fierce positions down the backstretch, and Lowe ultimately took the lead on Lap 52. Yet, the action paused again with a caution on Lap 53, setting up for exciting intensity when they returned to racing on Lap 57.
When the green flag dropped once more, Lowe leapt ahead while Davis ducked in to secure second from Young. But Young wasn’t backing down, battling Davis on Lap 66 to reclaim his position. Caution resumed on Lap 79, setting the scene for yet another restart on Lap 83.
As the race progressed, Lowe and Young maintained control until another caution on Lap 88 halted their momentum. With heightened anticipation, the restart on Lap 93 kept Lowe and Young in a fierce duel at the front. Lowe continued to fend off Young’s advances but not without a challenge.
The final showdown arrived with a Green-White-Checker finish. As Lowe and Young led the charge, it seemed Young faltered just enough for Davis to find his moment alongside him. But a surge off turn 2 let Young reclaim second, while Davis and Liston fought for third at the line.
In the thrilling conclusion, James Lowe claimed victory in Season 29 Round 07, with Aiden Young finishing in a nail-biting second and Chris Davis securing third just at the finish line. What an incredible race!

Several other drivers were caught up in the resulting brouhaha including Donny Moore, Chris Haizlip, Lowell Jewell, Scott Negus, Fred LeClair, and Bob Higgins.

Season 13 Race 5
Stafford Motor Speedway
February 6, 2025
by Tim Corder
Historic Stafford Motor Speedway hosted Red Light Racing’s Skitter Creek SK Modifieds on Thursday, February 6, 2025. The fifth race of season 13 would prove to be in stark contrast to the previous four races of the season. While the drivers still showcased hard racing, the yellow flag failed to wave once during the 100-lap event. Eric Stout led from flag-to-flag to claim his second win of the season and kept the points lead.
Stout won the pole with a 19.259 second qualifying lap, just 0.007 seconds quicker than both Jeff Aho and Ken Allen, who qualified second and third respectively. Rounding out the top 5 in the RaceDayCT.com starting grid were Brian Bianchi and Rob Higgins.
Stout, Aho, Bianchi and K. Allen were fixtures in the top 5 for the first 75 laps of the event. For much of the event AJ Hamel ran in 5th place. These top 5 drivers had almost a one-second lead on 6th place Rex Hoyle on lap 68 when a disaster nearly occurred for all of the front runners. Coming into turn one on lap 68, Eric Stout saw Brian Neff recovering from a spin to the infield. Stout, wanting to ensure not tangling with Neff, left the bottom line slightly open in turn 2. Aho attempted to seize the opportunity to take over the lead but made slight contact with Stout in the process. Aho slowed to give himself and Stout the opportunity to regain control of their cars. Bianchi unfortunately contacted the slowing car of Aho which sent Bianchi toward the outside wall. In Bianchi regaining control, he and Hamel contacted each other. The two cars then spun toward the infield, with Hamel hammering the inside wall. Hamel was unable to continue and finished in 24th place. Bianchi still managed to hold on to a top 10 finish, finishing in 8th.
Throughout the entire event, Stout and Aho put on a clinic of clean close racing. At times Stout seemed to be pulling away from Aho, but Aho would close back up. For much of the event the two were separated by no more than 2-tenths of a second.
Despite the event running entirely under the green flag, only six cars didn’t finish on the lead lap. The Hard Charger of the race was Bradley Stefane, who managed to pick up 8 spots, moving his 21st starting position to finish 13th. A testament to the clean racing throughout the field was that 17 of the 24 racers left the event without any incident points.
With the win, Stout extended his lead in the points, leaving the event 15 points ahead of Stefane. Chad Alcares, Ken Allen, and Rex Hoyle complete the top five in the championship running.
