Paul Nienhiser

Closing his 2025 season out with a win last fall, it was only fitting that Paul Nienhiser opened 2026 in victory lane as he topped a rare 410ci open show at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO on Saturday night.

Getting in one final race for the season on Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway, Paul Nienhiser put an exclamation point on a very turbulent season that saw him miss three months to injury as he parked his PNR No. 9x mount in victory lane at the Ron Milton Race of Champions in front of a throng of family and friends.

Spending his Friday night taking on MOWA at his home track, Jacksonville Speedway, Paul Nienhiser charged from the fifth starting position and took the lead late and never looked back en route to his sixth feature event win of the year, and his 31st career triumph with MOWA.

Paul Nienhiser spent his weekend piloting Scott Bonar’s Midland Performance Inc. No. 50 entry with the Sprint Invaders, and following mechanical issues on Friday night, Nienhiser was back in victory lane on Sunday as he scored the win at Quincy Raceway.

Paul Nienhiser continues to have a very stout 2025 season, and that was on full display Friday night at Jacksonville Speedway where Nienhiser charged from his 10th starting position to capture his third consecutive feature event win.

A busy weekend for Paul Nienhiser proved to be worth it. Competing with the Sprint Invaders on Friday night and the IRA on Saturday, Nienhiser was the class of the field on both nights as he swept the weekend and recorded his first two wins of the 2025 season.

Getting in one final weekend of racing action with MOWA as they invaded Jacksonville Speedway, Paul Nienhiser defended his home turf well as he picked up the Friday night win and earned the Hard Charger on Saturday as he rallied to a sixth place finish.
