ELDON, Mo. (Aug. 31, 2025)—After opening the season’s first three races with a pair of runner-up finishes, it looked like all systems were go for Shadren Turner’s rookie campaign on the USRA Heartland Modified Tour, but a string of bad luck and mechanical woes through the early summer left the team searching for answers .

They broke through with a Fourth-of-July win at Central Missouri Speedway, and on Sunday night Turner showed there are no more doubts, leading all 30 laps at Lake Ozark Speedway to secure his third win of the season.

Turner was in control from the drop of the green flag, but it wasn’t without challenges. Bobby Williams applied pressure multiple times through the middle stages of the feature, but could never find a way past.

A late-race restart shook things up as Trevor Hughes slipped by Williams to claim the runner-up spot, while Williams settled for third.

Championship contenders Brandon Givens and Wyatt Gaggero both kept their title hopes alive, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. The preferred groove was on the bottom, but both Lance Mari and Tyler Davis thrilled the crowd by charging forward against a treacherous cushion on the extreme top side.

Mari was closing on a top-three finish before mechanical issues ended his run with two laps to go, Meanwhile, Davis hung tough up high and nearly broke into the top five before crossing the line in eighth.

With just four races remaining, the Heartland Modified Tour championship battle remains tightly contested. Williams continues to lead the standings, with Givens and Gaggero within striking distance. Turner’s victory has vaulted him back into the mix.

The Heartland Modified Tour makes its way to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., on Friday, Sept. 19, followed the very next night by the Dalice Franz Memorial at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan.

The USRA Heartland Modified Tour Presented by Real Racing Wheels would like to recognize and thank their 2025 season long partners.
