Easter Eggstravaganza: A Night of Candy, Chaos, and Champions at Vado Speedway Park

The Easter Bunny brought candy, but Vado Speedway Park delivered pure, unfiltered racing madness. On April 19, 2025, the Easter Eggstravaganza turned the track into a battleground where legends clashed, underdogs rose, and every lap was a heart-pounding thrill. From the roar of the Super Trucks to the final checkered flag of the B-Mods, this night had it all—family feuds, veteran triumphs, and a sugar rush of speed that left fans screaming for more. Here’s how it all went down. Johnstone Supply Super Trucks: Barnett’s Epic Charge from the Back The night kicked off with the Johnstone Supply Super Trucks —raw horsepower and drivers who live for chaos. Christy Barnett started eighth but carved through the field like a veteran possessed. By the halfway mark, she was hunting down leader Jaden Manicki Gallivan , who’d held the front with an iron grip. But with five to go, Manicki got loose, and Barnett pounced, slingshotting to the lead. Luis Esquivel and Cliff Evrage battled hard for second, but no one could touch Barnett as she claimed her second win of the season. Johnstone Supply powered the thunder, and Barnett stole the show. S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks: Archuleta’s Last-Lap Heroics Next up, the S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks —the soul of Vado, where family rivalries and heartbreak fuel the fire. Jimmy Skoog looked untouchable, slicing through lap traffic like a pro, but Dawnica Minks and her mom Sharrii were closing fast, turning the race into a family feud. Then, with the white flag waving, chaos erupted. Skoog and Dawnica got caught in traffic, and Bryce Archuleta , lurking in third, seized the moment. In a daring move, he threaded the needle, stealing the win in a photo finish that had the crowd on its feet. S.H. Automotive kept the drama red-hot, and Archuleta’s victory was pure gold.

White Sands Federal Credit Union POWRi 305 Winged: Wofford’s Masterclass The 305 Sprint Cars took flight next, wings pinned and throttles wide open. Lorne Wofford , the veteran king, started on pole and never looked back. Young guns Dylan Harris and Jett Carney threw everything at him—slide jobs, high-side attacks—but Wofford’s savvy was untouchable. Lap traffic loomed, but he danced through it like a pro, holding off Harris by a nose in a finish that had fans holding their breath. Aydan Saunders clawed to fourth, but this was Wofford’s night. White Sands Federal Credit Union backed the speed, and Wofford delivered the glory. Anthony Sosa Roofing Late Models: Ordonez Rips the Top The Late Models —precision meets power—hit the clay with the McNutt dynasty under siege. Keko Perez grabbed the early lead, but Arturo Ordonez had other plans. He ripped the top, slingshotting past Perez and leaving the field in the dust. Shane McNutt charged to third, but Ordonez was gone, his bold move paying off in spades. Anthony Sosa Roofing kept the Late Models tight, and Ordonez walked away king of the track. Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mods: Sandy’s Relentless Hunt The night’s finale—the B-Mods —was pure pandemonium. Hunter Sandy started 10th but tore through the pack, dodging wrecks and restarts like a man on a mission. Christy Barnett and Deuce Teague traded the lead in a fierce duel, but Sandy was unstoppable. With six to go, he slipped past both in a daring three-wide move, claiming the front and never looking back. Rick Ortega surged from 22nd to fourth, but Sandy’s victory was sealed. Hacienda Carpet & Tile laid the groundwork, and Sandy shook the stands with a win for the ages. A Night to Remember
