Mullens
Master Class Continues at Callaway
FULTON Mo. (Aug. 22, 2025)Fresh
off his victory the previous night, Tanner Mullens of
Wichita, Kan., continued his hot streak by leading all
40 laps of the Summit USMTS National Championship A
Main at Callaway Raceway.
Mullens, piloting his
No. 02 machine, started on the outside pole and never
looked back, securing a commanding win and extending his
impressive run with his fifth win of the year.
Mullens' momentum was evident from the start, as he
topped the Hodges Farms & Dredging Qualifying session
for the second night in a row. A second-place finish in
his heat race set him up for a prime starting position
in the main event.
The 40-lap feature race saw
Mullens rocket to the lead on the opening lap. While the
action was tight behind him, Mullens maintained a
comfortable gap at the front. The most exciting battle
of the night was for the runner-up spot, with Jim
Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, and Kyle Strickler of
Mooresville, N.C., locked in a fierce duel.
When
the checkered flag waved, Mullens was 2.521 seconds
ahead of the competition.
Defending USMS national
champion Jim Chisholm, who started third, moved up a
spot to finish second, while Strickler, who started on
the pole, rounded out the podium in third.
Four-time USMTS champion Rodney Sanders finished fourth,
and Trevor Hughes rounded out the top five.
The
FK Rod Ends Hard Charger award went to Gary Christian of
Broken Bow, Okla., who advanced seven positions from his
22nd starting spot to finish 15th.
The Summit
USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt
continues its summer swing through Missouri, with
drivers battling at the Scotland County Speedway in
Memphis on Saturday.
