August 19, 2025 – For the 53rd time in Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders history, the series will tackle the 3/8-mile Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa this Friday night! The popular oval always dishes out great sprint car action, and this Friday should be no different!
The track has hosted the second most Sprint Invaders events in history. Kaley Gharst has won the most main events with the Sprint Invaders at Donnellson, having grabbed six in his career there. John Schulz has five wins there, and Matt Sutton and current Sprint Invaders point leader, Terry McCarl, have four apiece. Jeff Mitrisin and Randy Martin lay claim to three wins there.
With just four events remaining on the 2025 Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders calendar, McCarl and Tasker Phillips lead the pack in the point standings, with just 16 markers separating them. Colton Fisher, Cody Wehrle and McCain Richards round out the top five.
Gates open on Friday at 5 p.m., with hot laps scheduled for 6 p.m. Grandstand tickets are $20, with ages 4-12, $10 and 3 and under FREE. Stock Cars, Sport Mods and Sport Compacts are also on the card.
