Vado Speedway Park Post-Race Recap: August 30, 2025 🏁💥
Vado Speedway Park turned into a dirt-flying warzone last Saturday, August 30, 2025, with the slick 3/8-mile clay oval serving up chaos, heart-stopping passes, and a championship clincher! From brotherly brawls to wheel-standing sprints, here’s how the Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mods, Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars, Hulsey Racing Legends, Anthony Sosa Roofing Late Models, and Desert Series 360 Wing Sprint Cars lit up the desert night!
Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mods: Rivera Rules the Roost! 🏆
Nick Rivera (4S) was untouchable, leading wire-to-wire for his second win of 2025 in a 30-lap, 34-minute endurance test. Starting on pole, Rivera fended off Deuce Teague (02) and a charging Jake Gallardo (B52), who climbed from 12th to nearly steal the show. Rob Mosley (M17) and Shane McNutt (5M) rounded out the top three, with Mosley’s late surge and McNutt’s slide jobs keeping fans on edge. Yellows flew for spins and debris, but Rivera held his line like a desert hawk, proving why his AOS chassis is up for grabs at $10K! Hunter Sandy (7S) and Josh Cain (3J) battled hard for top-five glory, showing Vado’s depth in this 30-car field.
Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars: Combs Conquers Brotherly Rivalry! 🔥
RC Combs (53) outdueled his brother Josh Cain (3J) in a 25-lap photo-finish thriller, snagging his second win of the year! Starting 9th, Combs carved through the field, trading the lead with Cain multiple times as they diced low and high. Devin Jobin (88) snagged third from 15th, while Andrew Fanning (8) and Gary Kerr Jr. (71) rounded out the top five. The slick track sparked chaos—Hunter Sandy (777) broke after a top-three run, and Craig Walker (62) and Sherman Barnett (82) hit the infield early. Combs’ low-line mastery sealed the deal, leaving Cain to settle for second in this borderland brawl!
Hulsey Racing Legends: Jackson’s Four-Peat Miracle! 🏎️
Josh Jackson (637) is unstoppable, notching his fourth straight win in the 15-lap Legends main! Starting 6th, Jackson rocketed to the lead by lap one, gapping the field by half a second. Angel Garcia (56) took second, with Cale Riggs (96) clawing to third from 9th in a points battle with Eric LaCroix (877). Brady Labree (99) and Brandon Williams (82) completed the top five. Jackson, a walking miracle after a near-fatal helicopter crash years ago, had the crowd roaring with his blistering 18.5-second laps. Jared Candelaria (33) and Tony Martin (4) hit the infield, but nothing could touch Jackson’s missile!
Anthony Sosa Roofing Late Models: Ordonez Wins, Perez Crowned! 👑
Arturo Ordonez (8X) flew high to win the 15-lap Late Models finale, but Keko Perez (3) clinched the 2025 championship! Starting 3rd, Ordonez overtook Perez and Josh Beyer (777) with slick high-side moves. Beyer took second, Perez third, securing the title with a fifth-place-or-better finish. Eric McNutt (5M) and Oscar Perez (51) rounded out the top five. Yellows for Ashley Buck (8BB) and Luke Solis (99) added drama, but Ordonez’s late charge wasn’t enough to catch Perez in points. A championship night for the ages!
Desert Series 360 Wing Sprint Cars: Wofford’s Wheelie to Victory! 🚀
Wes Wofford (01) stole the show in the 25-lap Sprint Car main, passing his dad Lorne Wofford (7) with a wild wheel-standing charge down the backstretch! Starting 7th, Wes hit the high side, clocking 15.2-second laps to edge Lorne by a quarter-lap. Caleb Saiz (542) took third, with Derek DeMartino (97) and Dylan Harris (4) in tow. Royal Jones (31) and Aydan Saunders (8) hit the infield early, but Wes’ “pointed to Jesus” wheelie had the crowd buzzing! Don Grable (45X) cracked the top six from 16th, showing Vado’s sprint car depth.
