Mario Gresham takes checkered flag in Season Opener at Talladega Short Track
House of Hook Showdown at Whynot Motorsports Park Up Next
ROME, Ga. (03/25/25) – In only his seventh start of the 2025, Mario Gresham broke through to Victory Lane on Saturday night with a flag-to-flag triumph in the 48th season opener at Talladega Short Track.
The pilot of the Acker’s Wrecker Service / Gresham Racing Parts No. 21 Longhorn Chassis Late Model backed up an impressive seventh-to-first showing in his heat race with a commanding victory in the 15-lap 602 Late Model Sportsman main event.
"The car felt great," Gresham said. "We always enjoy racing here, but our primary focus was ensuring the driver is fully prepared for next weekend. I’m hopeful we can maintain this momentum heading into Whynot and secure strong finishes with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series. Big thanks to my crew and all of our sponsors that help me live out my dream."
Gresham entered a single event over the weekend with a trip to Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Ala.) to compete in the track’s 47th season opener aboard his Back Forty Party Rentals No. 10 Late Model.
Dominant from the moment he unloaded, Gresham followed up a seventh-to-first run in his heat race with a wire-to-wire victory in the 15-lap feature.
The Rome, Georgia native notched his first win of the 2025 season ahead of Brodie Thompson, Chad Trammell, Bron Rutledge, and Dylan Templeton.

Gresham’s pursuit of the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series Rookie of the Year title resumes this weekend with the House of Hook Showdown at Whynot Motorsports Park. The two-day event kicks off on Friday with an $8,000-to-win opener, followed by Saturday’s finale, which offers a $12,000 top prize.
