ROSSBURG, Ohio (May 17, 2025)……..Luke Hall has competed (and won) at Rossburg, Ohio’s Eldora Speedway for more than two decades, but on Saturday night, he accomplished something he never achieved before – winning a midget race at the Big E.
The Ludlow Falls, Ohio racer checked that off the list during Saturday’s Family Fireworks Night Presented by Casey’s USAC Midwest Thunder SpeeD2 Midget non-points special event.
Starting eighth, Hall hustled his way to the lead by lap seven of the 20-lap feature, passing race long leader Matt Lux who had won both previous USAC Midwest Thunder features at Eldora in 2023 and 2024.
From there, Hall led the remaining 14 laps to score the win over reigning series champion Bryce Massingill while fast qualifier Lux crossed the line in third, Luke Lemons fourth and Michael Magic fifth.
Heat race victories were captured by Hall, Stratton Briggs, Lux and Jalen Cox.
