Everson, WA – Another fun night of racing at Deming Speedway saw four of the five divisions won by first time victors. Levi Kuntz, Parker Hadlock, Jake Munn and Chase Whitney all took first career wins, while Levi Hillier was the lone repeat victor. 

Levi Kuntz made a late race surge to take his first win in the Speedmart 600 Open class. Tanner Holm held the top spot for the first twenty laps, but it was Kuntz passing him on the high side after a late race lane change that scored him the eventual victory. Holm would settle for second with Jayden Whitney running third. Heat wins went to Spencer Constance, Blaine Granberg and Parker Hadlock. 

Hadlock was doing double duty on the night, as he ended up in the cockpit of Brock Lemley’s car in the Shots 2 Go Espresso 1200 class. Hadlock battled side by side with Jacob Buckenmeyer over the first three laps before taking the lead for good on lap four. He was pressured late by Derek Holmwood, but in the end it was Hadlock taking his first career win in the division over Derek and Jacob. Holmwood and Alex Lewis won the heats. 

In the NW Focus Midgets Series main event, Jake Munn scored his first series victory with an impressive run. Munn took over the lead from Jeff Westergard on lap seven and held strong the rest of the way for his first victory. Sawyer LInd made a strong bid late but ended up second with Levi Harless racing hard but settling for third. Lind and Harless were the heat winners. 

Levi Hillier looked like a human cheat code in the A Main event for the Mytrafficman.NET 600 Restricted class. Hillier led all 25 laps without challenge to add another victory to his yearly tally. Peyton Drake was all alone in second for the bulk of the race, with Kane Van Sickle rounding out the podium in third. Drake, Grace Matier and Avery Touchette took home heat race wins. 

Chase Whitney grabbed his first Deming Speedway win with some flair. After setting quick time and winning his heat race with a last lap pass, Whitney led all 20 laps of the Clean Crawls JR Sprint main event to complete the clean sweep of the night. The battle for second was bumper to bumper all race long, with McKenna Morgan coming out on top of Cooper Anderson in the end. Morgan was the other heat race winner.
