GREENWOOD, La. (June 7, 2025)—Saturday night’s 19th Annual Doug Murphrey Memorial at Boothill Speedway delivered a thrilling $10,000-to-win finale featuring a 50-lap battle on the 3/8-mile high-banked dirt oval saw Rodney Sanders of Happy, Texas, claim victory in a race that honored the legacy of Doug Murphrey.

Co-sanctioned by the USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports and Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt, the event was presented by Joel’s Auto Sales, Murphrey Oil Company, Neises Motorsports, RaceON, and RacinDirt.

The main event saw a father-son duo leading the field to green, with four-time USMTS national champion Jason Hughes of Watts, Okla., and his son, Trevor Hughes of Westville, Okla., starting on the front row.

A multi-car incident on lap 2 brought out the race’s only caution flag, allowing Kyle Strickler of Mooresville, N.C., to slip past Trevor Hughes for second.

By lap 10, Jason Hughes had built a three-car-length lead over Strickler, while Sanders—a five-time USMTS champion—began his charge from 12th on the grid. Pounding the high side, Sanders cracked the top 10 by lap 15, reached fifth by lap 23, and overtook multi-time Murphrey Memorial winner Chris Henigan of Marshall, Texas, for third on lap 24.

Sanders then dispatched Strickler for second and, on lap 34, slid underneath Hughes exiting turn 2 to take the lead. He held on for the final 16 laps to secure the victory, finishing 4.471 seconds ahead of Jason Hughes.

“I felt like I could carry good speed around the top when I could really charge a corner of somebody in front of me,” said Sanders, who won at Boothill in 2020 before three consecutive rain-outs.

Strickler held on for second, followed by Jason Hughes in third. Henigan, a local favorite, finished fourth, while Gary Christian of Broken Bow, Okla., rounded out the top five. Reece Solander was sixth, Jim Chisholm followed up his win on Friday with a seventh-place paycheck Saturday, one spot better than his younger brother, Joe Chisholm. Trevor Hughes and Kyle Slader completed the top 10.

USRA B-Mod fans once again saw Coty Tupper of Blanchard take the win, with Mason Day of Farmersville, Texas, claiming the runner-up sport. Colby Williams of Sibley secured third, Ruston's Jeremy Haddox finished fourth and Jacob Hodges of  Lebo, Kan., wound up fifth.

Justin Whitehead of Texarkana, Texas, cruised to victory in the USRA Limited Mod feature, holding off Stephen Guidry of Marksville and Ben Leedy of Jonesboro. Fifth-place money went to Aaron Roy of Texarkana, Texas, and Derick Grigsby of Marshall, Texas, finished fifth aftr starting 14th.

The Sunoco USRA Factory Stock feature went to ninth-starting Ricky Ingalls of Longview, Texas. Dalton DuBois of Robeline took second while Neil Kemp of Mineral Springs, Ark., rounded out the top three. Fourth and fifth were Justin Holt of White Oak, Texas, and Trey Jones of Norman, Okla., respectively.
