July 14, 2025 – The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders head to Oskaloosa, Iowa and the Southern Iowa Speedway this Thursday night, July 17. The racing event will be held in conjunction with the Mahaska County Fair and will be sponsored by Kraig Ford! After two postponements of events last week, the Invaders are “champing at the bit” to get going.
This will mark the fifth trip for the series to Oskaloosa’s half-mile, but first in eight years. Carson McCarl (2014), Jamie Ball (2015), Terry McCarl (2016) and Ian Madsen (2017) have all won there with the Sprint Invaders. Extra incentives are being added to the event bonuses for heat race wins and the hard-charger, with more in the works.
Make sure to come early and enjoy the Mahaska County Fair! Hot laps are scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Thursday, with racing to follow. Tickers are $15 for adults, $10 for veterans and children 6-15. Five and under are FREE. Hobby Stocks and Stock Cars are also in action!
McCarl’s lead in the standings is 22 points over Tasker Phillips. Nienhiser is third, ahead of Cody Wehrle and Colton Fisher. McCain Richards, Riley Scott, Josh Schneiderman, Tanner Gebhardt and Nathan Murders round out the current top ten.
