Josh Cain of Rio Rancho, N.M., delivered a dominant performance in 2024 and captured his first USRA Stock National Championship.

Cain, who also won the MSD Performance USRA Southern Region driven by MVT title for his division, competed in 38 Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series events. He won 31 of them and remarkably never finished outside the top five.

The long journey from the Land of Enchantment to the Show-Me State also netted him his second straight Summit USRA Nationals crown at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo.

Jeff Metcalf of Gentry, Ark., and Jaylen Wettengel from Topeka, Kan., wound up second and third in the final points.

Cain gathered most of his national and regional points in action at the Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M., where he won 17 of 24 main events. He also made trips to the Arrowhead Speedway, Humboldt Speedway, Legacy Speedway and Sandia Speedway.
