Jason Hughes won the USRA Stock Car main event.

WHEATLAND, Mo. (Aug. 1, 2025)—For good reason, the USRA Modifieds were off Friday night as the USMTS Modifieds headlined the 16th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout. Other feature winners on Friday night were Jason Hughes (USRA Stock Cars).

Hughes earns USRA Stock Car win: Four-time USMTS Modified champion Jason Hughes, of Watts, Okla., came to Lucas Oil Speedway in another division. Hughes took the lead on lap four and drove away for the O’Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature victory. It was his second in a Stock Car in two attempts this season.

"These Stock Cars put on a hell of a race," Hughes said. "It reminds me of the old days in the Modifieds when we had no traction, no side-bite and you're just out there sliding around. You just have to keep it all underneath you and that's a lot of fun."

Fourth-starting Hughes took the lead from William Garner on a lap-four restart after Garner paced things to that point. Garner faded out of contention a lap later when his car lost power, but did fire back up to remain on the lead lap.

Meanwhile, Hughes led Mason Beck in a two-car breakaway with Rodney Schweizer nearly three seconds behind in third. Hughes edged away to a 1.2-second lead over Beck by lap 12.

Hughes went on to win by 1.7 seconds over Beck with Schweizer third, Christopher Sawyer fourth and Johnny Coats fifth.

USRA B-Mod win to Morton: J.C. Morton of Springfield earned his second USRA B-Mod win of the season, passing race-long leader Colson Kirk with five laps remaining.

Front-row starters Kirk and Logan Smith ran 1-2 in the early going with Andy Bryant and Morton joining the battle. Those four were bunched within one second by lap six and Morton advanced to second two laps later.

Finding speed on the bottom, the fifth-starting Morton closed in on Kirk by lap 10 and was .408 seconds behind when caution appeared on lap 11. Morton hopped to the high side on the restart and started to reel in the leader, finally going around Kirk on lap 15 as he switched back to the bottom.

Morton took it home from there, beating Kirk by 1.5 seconds.

"We took off there and the top five cars were really all about the same speed," Morton said. "We were just kind of maintaining, trying to pull off a move here or there. Then we got to the leader and I about showed 'em the top over here and I think that might have about ended it. We got back going green and I chose the top and got behind and it ended up all right."

Smith held onto third with Jon Sheets fourth and Waylon Dimmitt coming from 12th to fifth.
