Oakley Johns tackles first week of DIRTcar Summer Nationals Hell Tour
Making the long haul back to the Midwest, Oakley Johns joined a field of 44 DIRTcar Summer Nationals entries at Brownstown (Ill.) Bullring on Tuesday afternoon to kick off the 2025 Hell Tour with a $5,000-to-win show.
Johns missed the opening night main event, but raced his way into the $5,000-to-win show at Kankakee (Ill.) County Speedway on Wednesday and finished 20th. The following night, Oakley did not make the show at Peoria (Ill.) Speedway and Friday's event at Tri-City Speedway (Granite City, Ill.) was postponed due to rain.
With a huge 58-car field on hand at Fairbury (Ill.) Speedway on Saturday, Oakley managed to grab the final transfer spot in his heat race and record a 17th-place outing in the $10,000-to-win feature.
Johns did not make the week's finale at Sycamore (Ill.) Speedway on Sunday.
