The iRacing Champions League Midget National Tour rolled into Volusia Speedway Park for a fast-paced 20-lap feature that delivered plenty of movement in both the race and the championship standings. At the front, it was another flawless performance from Aidan Strawberry, who started on pole and never looked back, leading every lap to capture his fifth victory of the season. With the win, Strawberry not only padded his points lead but also collected the maximum 13 points available — 12 for the win and 1 for setting fast time in qualifying.

Behind him, JT Ferry impressed in just his second tour start by locking down a solid runner-up finish. The battle for third saw Parker Leek storm forward from 11th on the grid to the podium. Leek also clocked the fastest lap of the night at 17.472 seconds on lap 18, showing he had late-race pace even if he couldn’t quite close the gap to the front two. That effort helped him strengthen his grip on second place in the standings, though he still trails Strawberry by a sizeable margin.

The hard charger of the night was James Roselli, who carved his way through the field after rolling off 17th. Roselli gained 12 positions to finish 5th, his best drive of the season in terms of overtakes. That result was crucial in the points picture, keeping him in third overall while reminding the front-runners that he’s still a consistent threat. Other notable movers included Jakob Stitzel (+6) and Brayden E Carter (+6), both recording strong top-six finishes.

Not every driver had a night to celebrate. Lukas Kostic, fresh off a breakthrough showing at Lincoln, struggled at Volusia, falling six spots to finish ninth. Similarly, Brenden McGlothlin dropped back from 5th on the grid to 10th at the finish, losing valuable ground. Still, the midfield remained tightly packed, with a half-dozen drivers tied at 15 points and separated only by finishes in recent rounds. With a handful of races left on the calendar, every position gained or lost on track could swing the balance of the championship chase.

In the standings, Strawberry extended his lead to 49 points over Leek, with Roselli another 12 markers back in third. Seth Gregory and Craig Silby round out the top five, though both face steep climbs if they want to challenge for the title. The big movers of the week included Brayden E Carter (+17) and Jakob Stitzel (+48), both surging up the order thanks to back-to-back solid finishes. With Volusia now in the books, the series shifts to Port Royal Speedway, a track known for rewarding both precision and bravery.

WHAT’S NEXT: The Midget National Tour continues its march with Port Royal Speedway (PA) up next on the Season 3 schedule. With Strawberry holding a commanding lead, all eyes will be on whether Leek or Roselli can chip away at the deficit.
