Nic Bidinger won the USRA Modified main event.

WHEATLAND, Mo. (Aug. 23, 2025)—Nic Bidinger swept both the USRA Modified main event and track points title with a win on Championship Night at Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Also sweeping his division championship with a feature win on the final night of the Pitts Homes & Realty Weekly Racing Series season was in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified division.

Other track champions crowned on Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet were Mason Beck (USRA Stock Cars and Jon Sheets (USRA B-Mods).

Joining Bidinger as the other Summit USRA Weeky Racing Series feature winners were William Garner (USRA Stock Cars) and Colson Kirk (USRA B-Mods).

A total of 84 cars were entered on the final night of the regular season. Prior to opening ceremonies, a majority of the them gathered four-wide on the front stretch and fired their engines in unison, then made a ceremonial pace lap together in tribute to Lucas Oil and Lucas Oil Speedway founder Forrest Lucas, who passed away earlier on Saturday at the age of 83.

Kirk gets win as Sheets takes title: Colson Kirk of Urbana charged from fifth to the lead on lap 14 and went on to beat Waylon Dimmitt and track champion Jon Sheets for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win.

Bronson Wicker took command at the start and held it until Sheets, who started alongside him on the first row, passed him on the outside coming out of turn four to complete lap four.

Nevada's Sheets, who already had the points title clinched before the night began, opened a half-second lead when caution flew on lap later. Kirk charged into second on the restart with Sheets continuing to ride the high groove - but the race’s third caution appeared on lap seven.

The race settled into a rhythm after the next restart as Sheets and Kirk broke away from the field, often racing side-by-side. Kirk was able to wrest the lead on lap 13, just before another caution slowed the action.

"What a marathon that was," Sheets said. "I think it was kind of good that I was in second there. It seemed like the bottom kind of cleaned up a little better than the top."

Kirk took it home from there, opening a one-second lead by lap 16 and going on to beat Dimmitt by 1.3 seconds. Sheets settled for third with Cayden Stacye fourth and J.C. Newell fifth.

"It's kind of a cool deal," said Sheets, who won four times at Lucas Oil Speedway this season. "We've been racing for 18 or 19 years and never won a track championship. I've never hung out at one place for a whole year. But we kind of set our goals at the beginning of the year to get this deal done and we were fortunate enough to."

Morrow Sheets, Jon's son, already had a big night and took home a trophy after winning the Kids' Power Wheel season championship during intermission.

Garner rolls, beats track champ Beck in USRA Stock Cars: William Garner of Lebanon led all the way to capture the O’Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature as he outdistanced track champion Mason Beck by nearly six seconds in a caution-free feature.

Pole-starting Garner grabbed the lead at the green and set a fast pace, with a 2.6-second lead over Dawson Fennewald just five laps into the event. As Garner kept pulling away, Fennewald, Beck and James McMillin battled it out for second.

Garner led Beck by 5.4 seconds - or an entire straightaway - by the halfway point on lap 10. Without any cautions to steal his big margin, Garner kept rolling and went on to beat Beck by 5.99 seconds in the green-white-checker 20 lapper.

The win was Garner’s third of the season. He entered the night trailing Beck by an insurmountable 106 points.

“I was just trying to hit my marks," Garner said. "I was starting to get a little tight at the end. We were trying some stuff here before (USRA) Nationals comes up and have a good hot rod for that. We had a pretty good race car."

Urban'a Beck, after narrowly missing the title a year earlier, was able to enjoy his title by simply starting the main event. He also was a track champ in 2023.

"It's kind of a redemption year for us," Beck said. "Last year, every time we turned around we had some really bad luck, something breaking or getting took out by some knucklehead. But we had a pretty decent year for as short as our schedule is."

Fennewald came home third with McMillin fourth and Zach Zeugin fifth.

Bidinger claims USRA Modified feature, season title: Nic Bidinger of Perry, Kan., finished off a track championship in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds by dominating the 20-lap feature. He led every lap and defeated runner-up and fast-closing Bobby Williams by about three car lengths.

Bidinger had the championship clinched before the green, but left no doubts. He started up front and rolled to the lead and by lap five was in front of Ben Stockton by two seconds with Pursley in third. Bidinger was nearly four seconds in front with just five to go.

The caution-free race saw Williams slice into Bidinger’s margin over the final five laps after he got around Pursley on lap 15. But Bidinger was able to get to the checkers .394 seconds clear of Williams.

"We've been struggling for this one all year," Bidinger said. "It's really nice to be on the front stretch and this was our last chance and I'm glad we were able to get it done. It's so much fun to race here all year."

Pursley was third, Chase Sigg fourth and Scotty Roberts fifth.

Summit USRA Nationals coming: The 12th Annual Summit USRA Nationals happens Sept. 30 through Oct. 4, featuring USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA Tuners in their Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points finales.
