The Mini Stock Lanier Championship closed out in fitting fashion — a hard-fought feature with the leaders swapping the pressure from start to finish, and a points battle that stayed tense right to the final checkered flag. When the dust settled, Robert Eversole made it two wins in a row, but the bigger headline across the full six-race grind belonged to Casey Wynn, who capped off a consistent season to become the Season 1 Lanier Speedway Track Champion.
Up front in the finale, Eversole executed when it mattered most. After winning the previous round, he backed it up with another strong performance, taking the win from 7th on the grid and proving his late-season surge was no fluke. Wynn was right there with him all night, finishing 2nd and logging a huge points result that ultimately locked up the championship. Aidan Strawberry completed the podium in 3rd, adding yet another steady top finish that defined his season and kept him firmly in the title conversation all the way to the end.
The race itself delivered the kind of shifting pressure you want in a finale. Strawberry challenged Wynn early, keeping Wynn honest and forcing the leaders to stay sharp from the opening laps. As the run tightened up late, the focus shifted again — and it became Eversole versus Wynn over the final 10 laps, with Eversole finding the edge he needed to seal the win. While Wynn didn’t get the trophy, he never let the moment get away, and his runner-up was exactly the kind of result that wins championships.
Behind the podium, the finale was packed with storylines that shook up the season’s final order. Cody Ritenour delivered one of the biggest performances of the night, driving from 9th to 4th and cashing in a major points swing that also translated to a huge jump in the final standings. Brayden E Carter finished 5th to close out a season that featured speed and multiple strong results, while Tucker Schroerlucke grabbed 6th to round out the front group. Jason Wooldridge II finished 7th and remained one of the more consistent point-scorers across his starts, and the rest of the top 10 stayed tightly contested all the way through the checkered.
The championship math was built on the simple but unforgiving system: 12 points to win, one less per finishing position, plus 1 point for qualifying fast time. Across the entire series, that format rewarded drivers who stayed near the front every week — and no one did it better than Wynn. With the finale complete, Casey Wynn is the champion with 54 points, finishing the series with a win, multiple top finishes, and the consistency needed to outlast the entire field. Aidan Strawberry ends the season as the runner-up on 43 points, a season defined by dependability and constant presence near the front. Brayden E Carter claims 3rd with 36, while Robert Eversole rockets up to 4th with 35 after his late-season back-to-back wins. And Jason Wooldridge II rounds out the top five on 29, closing the season with a steady points run that kept him in the mix.
