June 18, 2025 – It’s a busy weekend for the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders as they hit three tracks in three states this weekend. On Friday, June 20, they visit the Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Missouri, before moving onto the 34 Raceway in Burlington, Iowa Saturday, June 21 and Quincy Raceways in Illinois on Sunday, June 22. The three-race weekend often picks up a number of invaders who want to get three good shows in, and this weekend should be no different.
Friday’s event on the 3/8-mile oval in Memphis, Missouri will be the ninth in Sprint Invaders’ history. There has never been a repeat winner, as John Schulz, Tyson Hart, Terry McCarl, Jerrod Hull, Bobby Hawks, Jeff Mitrisin, Evan Martin and Paul Nienhiser have all tasted victory there.
Hot laps are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Western Iowa Non-Wing Sprints (WINS), Stock Cars, B-Mods and Hobby Stocks are also on the card.
Saturday will mark the 74th event and 82nd feature in series’ history at 34 Raceway in West Burlington. Chris Martin and Joe B. Miller have already won at the facility this year. The all-time winners’ list sees Matt Rogerson, Jerrod Hull, Nienhiser and Dustin Selvage at the top with five wins apiece. Schulz and Josh Schneiderman have four.
Hot laps at 34 are at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission, with Students 11-17 and Seniors $18. Kids 10 and under are FREE. The WINS series will make for another sprint car doubleheader night, and IMCA Modifieds, Stock Cars and Sport Compacts will also be in action.
Sunday at Quincy will see the Sprint Invaders’ fourteenth visit to the 1/3-mile oval. Kaley Gharst and Nienhiser (2) are the multi-time winners there, while Ricky Logan, Matt Sutton, Jim Moughan Jr., Hull, Chris Martin, Jon Agan, Miller, Chase Randall and Garet Williamson also have wins.
Hot laps Sunday begin at 5:30 p.m. Street Stock and Open B-Mods will also be on the card.
Terry McCarl leads the current point standings by seven points over defending champion, Paul Nienhiser. Tasker Phillips, Tanner Gebhardt and Cody Wehrle round out the top five heading into the weekend. Colton Fisher, McCain Richards, Josh Schneiderman, Riley Scott and Riley Goodno complete the top ten.
