🎯🏁 Leek Seizes USA International — Mid-Race Pass, Late Drama for P2

The ICL Midgets rolled into USA International Speedway on Oct 2, 2025 for 18 green-flag laps, and the night belonged to Parker Leek. After stalking the early pace, Leek took the lead near the halfway point and never looked back, converting clean laps into a crucial 12-point haul. Behind him, title leader Aidan Strawberry secured second, while JT Ferry completed the podium after a dramatic moment—Ferry and Strawberry came together while fighting for P2; Ferry looped all the way around yet still gathered it up and finished third.

The speed box checked out for Ferry as well. He earned the night’s qualifying fast-time bonus (+1), a tidy add to the 10 points for third, and a statement of one-lap pace that matched his race-long aggression. In traffic, the big mover was Vincent Gueci, who climbed a race-best +10 spots to finish fifth and continue his steady ascent in the table. On the tougher side, James Roselli dropped a net -12 positions; he still banked points, but it cost him momentum in the chase for second overall.

The leaders column told the race story plainly: two leaders and one lead change, the decisive swap when Leek took control around halfway. From there, the #17 executed: tidy exits, clean corner entry, and consistent sector times that kept Strawberry at arm’s length. Ferry’s recovery to third—after the P2 scrap—underscored how strong his pace window was, even with the time loss from the spin.

Championship math tightens just a bit. With 12 points for a win and 11 for second, Leek trimmed the deficit by one: Strawberry remains in command but the margin is now 48. Roselli holds third overall despite the rough night, while Ferry’s podium and bonus point push him up to fifth and within hailing distance of Craig Silby for P6 on raw points. Gueci’s +10 on track aligns with a steady year-long push—he’s now seventh and only a handful of good nights from the top-five scrap. Kinser Lightner continues to trend the right way too, now 10th with four top-tens on the ledger.

USA International will file as a clean, pace-centric round where one mid-race move defined the victory and a second-place fight spiced the podium sort. With only a few stops left, each qualifying lap (bonus) and each start-to-finish gain matters: nights like this are where titles harden and top-ten campaigns crystallize.

🏁🏆 Warren Seals Title with Concord Victory in Season Finale

The SK Modified Weekly at Concord wrapped up its first season in dramatic fashion, as Davis Warren once again proved why he has been the class of the field. Leading all 35 laps from the pole, Warren stormed to his second win of the season and, in the process, officially locked down the inaugural series championship. It was a dominant statement drive to close out a campaign that saw Warren never finish outside the top 10.

Behind Warren, the battle for the podium created some of the best storylines of the night. Aidan Strawberry capped off his breakout season with a strong second-place finish, adding another top run to his tally. The drive secured his spot as runner-up in the championship, a remarkable achievement given that he only started three races. Right behind him came the night’s Hard Charger, Chris Gifford, who charged from 12th on the grid to finish 3rd. Gifford’s nine-position climb not only delivered his best finish of the season but also showed what might have been possible if he had run the full calendar.

One of the surprise standouts was Justin Carbee, who, despite finishing outside the top tier, laid down the fastest lap of the race with a blistering 15.474-second flyer on lap 2. It was a strong individual highlight for a driver making his first start of the season, underlining the competitive depth in the SK Modified field. Elsewhere in the pack, drivers like Tanner McKim and Jacob Merrill both made headlines in the season standings. McKim’s steady drive to a top-5 finish propelled him 17 positions upward in the championship, while Merrill also surged by 12 spots thanks to back-to-back strong results to close the season.

For Davis Warren, the final points table tells the story of control and consistency. With six starts, two wins, and a perfect run of top-10 finishes, he compiled 64 points and added three bonus markers to seal the title. Strawberry’s late-season charge solidified his second-place ranking with 33 points, while the battle for third ended in a tie between McKim and Merrill on 16 points each. The final round also shuffled Owen Wilson6 up seven spots, as he finished the year inside the top five.

With the checkered flag dropping on the season, the inaugural SK Modified Weekly at Concord campaign has come to a close. Warren walks away as champion, but the late-season momentum of drivers like Strawberry, McKim, Merrill, and Gifford has set the stage for an even more competitive fight when the series resumes.

🎯🏁 First-Time Oswego Visit Ends With Denney’s Statement Win

ICL Midgets made their first-ever stop at Oswego Speedway on Oct 1, 2025, and Jacob Denney turned the debut into a clinic. From the drop, Denney controlled the 18-lap sprint, leading all the way to secure the victory. The result doubles as a milestone: it’s his 7th career ICL win, remarkably in just his 11th career start. Parker Leek chased hardest and banked runner-up points, while series leader Aidan Strawberry completed the podium on a night where clean laps and track position were everything.

Denney also set the fastest lap of the race, underlining just how complete his performance was. With one leader and zero lead changes on the stat sheet, the Oswego debut carried a straightforward storyline: Denney had both speed and control in hand, never letting the field see a chance to challenge his #61 entry.

Plenty happened in the pack. The hard charger honors go to James Roselli, who sliced forward a whopping +12 positions to finish 5th and keep his hold on third in the championship. On the other end of the spectrum, the toughest night belonged to Lukas Kostic, who tumbled a net -16 positions by the flag. Between those extremes, Brenden McGlothlin delivered another quietly strong night in 6th, while Kinser Lightner (7th) continued an eye-catching mid-season rise that shows up clearly in the updated table.

Championship arithmetic remains tight underneath the points leader. With 12 points awarded for a win and one bonus point for qualifying fast time each round, Strawberry’s advantage still matters—but nights like Leek’s runner-up keep him firmly within range. After Oswego, it’s Strawberry on 154, Leek at 105 (-49), and Roselli on 85 (-69). The movers’ column also jumps out: McGlothlin gains again to 6th overall (+4 from recent weeks), Lightner rockets to a tie for 13th (+19), and JT Ferry’s recent form has him up to 8th (+13). Denney’s perfect debut this season drops him straight into the top-25 ledger and hands him maximum momentum.

Oswego’s inaugural ICL midget chapter will be remembered for two things: a wire-to-wire masterclass at the front and a furious mid-field shakeup that keeps the points story simmering with only a handful of rounds left. From here, every start spot gained is a point opportunity realized—and every qualifying lap carries bonus-weighted significance down the stretch.

🏁🔥 Cedar Lake Shakes Up the Title Picture: Leek Finds Victory Lane 🔥🏁

The iRacing Champions League Midget National Tour stormed into Cedar Lake Speedway for its latest Feature, and the compact 22-lap dash delivered another pivotal twist in the Season 3 story. Parker Leek drove a commanding race, starting from fifth, leading 17 laps, and setting the fastest lap of the night at 14.397 seconds. The victory was his fifth of the season, keeping his championship hopes alive as the chase for the crown inches closer to the finale.

Behind him, James Roselli delivered a strong runner-up finish, his sixth top-five of the campaign, underscoring his consistency in third place overall. Championship leader Aidan Strawberry once again proved steady, driving from eighth to third to collect more valuable points and protect his margin. While Strawberry didn’t lead a lap at Cedar Lake, he continues to maximize every opportunity, leaving the speedway with a 50-point advantage in the standings.

The hard charger of the night was Seth Stenzel, who stormed from 12th on the grid to finish fourth, gaining eight positions in the process. Eli Bookout also impressed, climbing seven spots to claim ninth, a drive that vaulted him fourteen places in the standings. On the other end, it was a night to forget for Dusty Wiegert, who slid back 11 positions from second to 13th, the steepest drop in the field.

Several newcomers and midfielders made noise in this round. Alex Ruppert earned a top-five finish in his season debut, while Rusty O’Neill impressed with sixth place. Riley Edwards and Levi Fisher also turned in solid efforts, showing how deep the competition runs when the series hits a technical short track like Cedar Lake. Each of these results reshaped the fight for spots just outside the top five in the standings, where only a handful of points separate multiple drivers.

In the championship tally, Strawberry remains on top with 144 points, Leek moves to 94, and Roselli holds third at 77. With each race awarding a maximum of 13 points (12 for a win plus 1 for qualifying fast time), Leek mathematically still has a path to the crown but needs multiple wins combined with bonus points and misfortune from Strawberry. Midfield climbers like Bookout (+14 in the table) and Repsik (+9) were among the biggest movers at Cedar Lake, proving that momentum is building in the back half of the schedule.

🎯🏁 Port Royal Finish Tightens Storylines in ICL Midget National Tour

A razor-thin duel to the checkers at Port Royal Speedway capped a fast 20-lap sprint and reshaped multiple storylines in the ICL Midget National Tour. Aidan Strawberry outlasted a late charge from Vincent Gueci, with the winning move decided on the final lap. The box score shows two leaders and 2 lead changes, and the laps-led column explains why: Strawberry controlled 17 laps while Gueci led 3, setting up the last-lap decider that defined the night.

The stopwatch belonged to Gueci. He set the fastest lap of the race at 19.144 seconds, underlining the speed that kept him glued to Strawberry’s tail. Even so, Strawberry’s blend of pace and track position proved decisive, delivering another victory in a season where he’s been the benchmark. Behind the top two, the drive of the night came from championship contender Parker Leek, who stormed from 21st on the grid to finish 3rd—an 18-position climb that made him the clear hard charger.

There were strong personal storylines sprinkled throughout the top ten. Brenden McGlothlin delivered a tidy 5th and continues to surge in the standings, while Dan Lane’s 6th added another solid mark to a compact but effective season. Lucas Merrifield impressed with a 10th-place finish in his first Season 3 start—an immediate points-paying debut in a deep field. On the flip side, PJ Bozowski endured the toughest night statistically, slipping from 6th on the grid to 20th at the flag.

In the championship, Strawberry extends his advantage at the top with 134 points, while Leek holds second on 82 (-52) and James Roselli remains third on 66 (-68). The math matters now: with 12 points to win and 1 bonus point for qualifying fast time each night, every finish and timed lap can swing the title race quickly. The middle of the table is churning too—huge movers include McGlothlin (+29) into a tie for 10th, Gueci (+23) up to 7th after his runner-up, and Lane (+20) also tied for 10th. One or two results either way will determine who arrives at the finale inside the top-ten picture.

From green to checkers, Port Royal was about execution under pressure. Strawberry maximized track position and clean air. Gueci paired top-tier speed (fastest lap) with late-race urgency. Leek turned a back-row start into a podium. That blend—control, pace, and perseverance—felt like a playoff preview with every point now magnified.
