Shadren Turner holds off Tyler Wolff to win Heartland Modified Tour main at Lakeside

KANSAS CITY, Kansas—Shadren Turner took full advantage of a home-track opportunity Friday night at Lakeside Speedway, driving from his fifth-place starting spot to score an emotional win in front of family and friends with the USRA Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels. The victory marked Turner’s fourth win of the 2025 season.

Defending race winner Nic Bidinger led the 25-lap feature to the green flag, but the hometown favorite Turner wasted little time, sweeping past for the lead on lap two. A caution for Lance Mari on lap six briefly slowed the action, but on the restart Tyler Wolff powered by Bidinger for the runner-up spot and immediately set his sights on Turner.

For the rest of the race, Wolff hounded Turner through heavy lapped traffic, looking high and low for a way around. Turner never flinched, attacking the lapped cars as fast as he could clear them while Wolff lurked inches off his bumper.

“Tim Karrick always tells me, ‘attack the lap cars,’” Turner said in victory lane. “I was in there just hanging on. We were running the top in the crumbs and I didn’t know if that was the smart thing to do or not, but it was working so I just held it to the floor and tried to steer it in the right direction. I’m glad it worked out.”

The win was especially meaningful for Turner, a St. Joseph, Missouri driver, who called the victory at his home track a dream come true.

“Oh man, I did not expect this to happen,” Turner added. “This is my home track so this is so special to win here in front of family and friends. It’s really special to have them all here.”

While Turner celebrated his fourth win of the season, the biggest shakeup may have come in the USRA Heartland Modified Tour championship battle. Coming into the night, Bobby Williams led the points by 28 over Brandon Givens. By the end of the race, after Givens ran fourth while Williams finished 12th, that margin shrunk to just nine points.

With only a handful of races left on the schedule, Givens has put himself in prime position to challenge for the championship, while Turner’s win and second-year driver Wyatt Gaggero’s steady runs have tightened the fight inside the top five.

The tour now heads to 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, for night two of the weekend. Saturday’s race, the Dalice Franz Memorial, honors the late 81 Speedway Hall of Famer and pays $2,586 to win and $400 to start the A-Main. With the points battle heating up and a big payout on the line, another thrilling night of racing is expected.

Point leaders Don Marrs #20X and Marshall Jewett #7 would grace the front row of the feature with Jewett taking the early lead.

Restart would see Jewett and Marrs again do battle until Smith would work the inside line to perfection getting by both for the lead. Yellow flag would once again fly with a hard crash consuming both John Snyder #6 and Dylan Stauch #317 taking them from the race. Smith would continue to lead as Matthew Matsukevich #16 and Donnie Devers #81 would battle among the leaders. Smith would cross the line first as he drove a flawless race to capture his first trip to Nextran Truck Center GMC Victory Lane this 2025 racing season. Jewett would finish second with Marrs third, Matsukevich fourth and Devers fifth on the night.

  Vintage would be the next on Lakeside Speedway to honor and respect a racing Legend, Pioneer, Innovator and Patriarch Duane Isaacs. The Isaacs Family in the colorful orange #66 would pace the field with a beautiful and touching tribute. David Isaacs #66 and Owen Evinger #18 would both win
heat races and start on the front row with a solid field of competitors to follow. Isaacs would show poise and experience to take the lead on the start to the cheers of the crowd. Evinger would battle back taking the top spot with Isaacs in pursuit. Damon Clevenger #6 and current point leader Larry Waters #54 would battle side by side with one high and one low chasing the leaders with the always fast Emma Davis #99 gaining and challenging. Davis would go through the spin cycle in turn four and the car would not refire taking her from win contention. Don Marrs #00K would start shotgun on the field and have top race his way through traffic to the front as he and Jim Thorne #113 would duke it out four positions. Owen Evinger would not be denied and claimed the big trophy from the Isaacs Family parking in Nextran Truck Center GMC Victory Lane with Clevenger getting by Isaacs in the closing laps to place second. Isaacs would make the podium placing a solid and impressive third with Marrs fourth and Thorne fifth.

 Tim Karrick #1K and Chad Clancy #57 would pick up heat race wins in USRA B-Modifieds pacing the field as they rolled onto the racing surface for the feature. Karrick and Clancy would race side by side with Karrick edging ahead. Jacob Hodges #14J was in the mix until mechanical issues forced him to retire early. Mechanical gremlins would also grab Kerry Davis #68 as a puff of smoke, and his night was over. Kyle Henning #1 would come from back to front to challenge Clancy for second in the closing laps. Karrick would pick up the feature win holding Clancy to second and extending his point lead at Lakeside.
