CALIFORNIA, Mo. — A season’s worth of thrills, battles and unforgettable moments came to a close on Sunday night as Double X Speedway hosted the final event of the season.
Drivers, teams, and fans came to the historic dirt oval for one last round of “Sunday Night Thunder,” with championships on the line in all three divisions: 360 Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks, and B Modifieds.
The crowd was excited for the final 360 winged sprint car feature of 2025 with local veteran Randy Martin on the pole and Gentleman Jack Wagner outside of him.
Wagner moved out to the lead on the backstretch and settled into running the high groove. Ben Brown quickly advanced to the second position with Samuel Wagner working his way into third and Martin settling into the number four position.
A red flag on lap 10 for Taylor Walton taking a mild tumble in turn one reset the field behind Jack Wagner’s No. 77.
After the restart a short, two lap run saw no changes in the running order as Kory Bales spun in turn two. Little change came until lap 17 when Samuel Wagner would take over the number two spot as Ben Brown would struggle in turns one and two.
The race would stay green until lap 23 when the red flag waved for a tumble in turn four of Daryn Langford.
With three laps remaining, the field was tight on the rear bumper of Wagner. With brother Samuel in second, Ben Brown in third and Randy Martin in fourth the race would come down to the wire.
The last three laps saw the running order finish out unchanged as no one had anything for Jack Wagner. Samuel Wagner was second, Ben Brown third, Randy Martin fourth and Jaden Alexander fifth.
Wagner also earned the track championship.
Dale Berry won the Super Stock finale, while Jody Romig claimed the class championship.
Adam Hall wrapped up the B Modified crown with a victory on the final night of the season.
