BRITT, Iowa (May 23, 2025)—Hancock County Speedway ignited with action Friday night for the ninth race of the year for the USRA KS Engineering Iron Man Stock Car Series driven by Terminator Chassis, plus three more Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series divisions.

In the USRA Stock Car finale, Brayden Gjere of Mabel, Minn., clinched the victory in the 25-lap main event with a masterful drive. Heath Tulp of Kanawha took second, followed by points leader Derek Green of Granada, Minn., in third.

Brandon Hare of Elma secured fourth, and Dylan Clinton of West Union rounded out the top five. Gjere’s triumph further highlighted the series’ unpredictable nature, with no repeat winners in 2025.

The USRA B-Mod feature race saw Kaeden Bronner of Austin, Minn., dominate from the front to claim the win. Hunter Kennedy of St. Ansgar finished second, with Dustin Kruse of Baltic, S.D., taking third.

Dan Hovden of Decorah placed fourth, and Alec Fett of Burt completed the top five.

In the USRA Hobby Stocks, Parker Anderson of Welcome, Minn., powered to the checkered flag for a hard-fought victory. Jeremy Crimmins of Fort Dodge earned second, followed by Jade Lange of Humboldt in third.

Tanner Green of Hampton took fourth, and Brandon Nielsen of Spencer finished fifth.

The Iron Man USRA Stock Cars return to battle Saturday at the Winneshiek Raceway in Decorah, Iowa, alongside USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks, USRA Tuners, and Eco-Mods. For more information, visit www.winneshiekraceway.com.
