May 22, 2025 – The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders make their annual Memorial Day weekend trek to the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, this Sunday, May 25. The $2,000 to win event follows the disappointment of a “wind-out” last Friday at CJ Speedway in Columbus Junction, Iowa. That event will not be made up.
Saturday will be the 79th feature run at the 3/8-mile oval in West Burlington. Chris Martin was victorious in the Sprint Invaders opener there on April 12. Dustin Selvage, Matt Rogerson, Jerrod Hull and defending Sprint Invaders champion and current point leader, Paul Nienhiser, are all five-time winners there. John Schulz and Josh Schneiderman have four wins, and Bobby Mincer, Kaley Gharst, Matt Sutton, Ryan Jamison and Jon Agan have three. Two-time Sprint Invader winners at West Burlington include Joey Moughan, Chris Martin, Terry McCarl, Chase Randall and Tasker Phillips.
Davenport winner, Nienhiser, of Chapin, Illinois has a narrow 15-point lead over veteran driver Terry McCarl of Altoona, Iowa in the current standings. Pleasantville, Iowa’s Tasker Phillips, Burlington’s Tanner Gebhardt and Knoxville, Iowa’s Riley Goodno round out the current top five.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps scheduled for 6:30. General Admission is $20, with Seniors and Students $18. Kids 10 and under are FREE. Top Notch Customs Trucks and Roth Trucking Sport Compacts are also on the card.
