Doubleheader Weekend to Open Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders Season!
by Bill Wright
April 8, 2025 – The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders kick off an exciting 2025 schedule this weekend, when they visit 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on Saturday, April 12 and then venture west to the Stuart International Speedway Sunday, April 13 in an event co-sanctioned with the Malvern Bank 360 Sprints!
Saturday will be the 78th feature run at the 3/8-mile oval in West Burlington. Dustin Selvage, Tasker Phillips and Aaron Reutzel took Sprint Invaders honors at 34 Raceway in 2024. Selvage, Matt Rogerson, Jerrod Hull and defending Sprint Invaders champion, Paul Nienhiser, are all five-time winners there. John Schulz and Josh Schneiderman have four wins, and Bobby Mincer, Kaley Gharst, Matt Sutton, Ryan Jamison and Jon Agan have three. Two-time Sprint Invader winners at West Burlington include Joey Moughan, Chris Martin, Terry McCarl, Chase Randall and Tasker Phillips.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps scheduled for 6:15. General Admission is $20, with Seniors $18. Kids 10 and under are FREE. Modifieds, Mini-haulers and Sport Compacts are also on the card.
Sunday’s event at the quarter-mile Stuart International Speedway marks a first-time visit for the Sprint Invaders. The Malvern Bank 360 Sprints have been at the facility, though it was two-time Sprint Invaders series’ champion, Chris Martin, who topped that field in 2023. It should be a great matchup between the two series. “Superman” Stu Snyder is the defending Malvern Bank 360 Sprints champion, and Jack Dover has also announced his plans to run the series this season.
Hot laps at Stuart begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing to follow. Grandstand seats are $20 for adults, Kids 9-16 are $10 and 8 and under are FREE. IMCA Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Mini-Mods are also competing.
Exciting Season on Tap!
