HEARTLAN MODIFIED TOUR SEASON FINALE THIS WEEKEND
By HMT PR
The 2025 Heartland Modified Tour Presented by Real Racing Wheels Championship will be decided this weekend, as the series travels to I-35 Speedway for the inaugural Fall Harvest. The finale in Winston, Missouri will feature two nights of racing, Friday, October 17 and Saturday, October 18. This is the Heartland Modified Tour's second stop at Mike & Kyle Johnson's pristine facility this season.
I-35 Speedway sets the perfect stage for the intense points battle to conclude. Bobby Williams enters the finale weekend holding a slim four point lead over Brandon Givens. Williams has been consistent all season, while Givens has surged in recent weeks and closed what was once a comfortable gap. Behind them, Shadren Turner and Wyatt Gaggero remain close enough in points to challenge the outcome. Turner won the HMT early season stop at I-35 Speedway.
“Hosting our series finale at I-35 Speedway is a great fit for drivers and fans,” shared Trenton Berry, Series Co-Owner. The track has been a supporter and partner of ours for years and they keep the facility in immaculate condition. Mike Johnson could offer a Master Class in track preparation and facility operations. We look forward to crowing a Champion on Saturday night.”
