August 27, 2025 – Spoon River Speedway south of Canton, Illinois awaits the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders this Sunday night. Sunday’s main event will pay $3,000 to the driver who can tame the high banks!
This will be the sixth visit to Spoon River Speedway for the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders. Bobby Mincer, Bobby Hawks, Jordan Goldesberry, Jim Moughan Jr. and Chris Martin are previous winners there. Martin’s win in 2023 was the last visit for the series to the “Spoon.”
Tasker Phillips has taken the lead in the standings over Colton Fisher, who picked up his second career Sprint Invaders win last weekend in Donnellson, Iowa. Season long point leader, Terry McCarl, is third. Motor issues at Donnellson sidetracked him. Cody Wehrle is currently fourth and McCain Richards is fifth. Riley Scott, Nathan Murders, Riley Goodno, Josh Schneiderman and Paul Nienhiser round out the current top ten.
Pits open at 2 p.m. Sunday, with grandstands opening at 4 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with racing to follow. The race will be held in conjunction with the Plowboy Nationals. $5,000 to win MARS Late Models, $5,000 to win MARS Modifieds, $3,024 to win B-Mods and $2,000 to win Hornets will also be in action.
