STRANE DOUBLES ON WEEKEND WITH 141 SPEEDWAY LIGHTNING SPRINTS WIN

(Maribel/Francis Creek, Wis., Sunday, May 25, 2025)--Brian Strane Jr. of Paris decided to make Sunday Funday at 141 Speedway in Maribel/Francis Creek a highlight of his Memorial Day weekend winning his second 20-lap 11-75 Sports Complex & Eatery IRA Lightning Sprints feature in as many nights.

Strane, who chalked up his first feature win of 2025 a night earlier at Wilmot Raceway, took the lead on lap 7 using the middle grove to work past the the 73-year-old veteran Ron Brannam of Barrington, IL.

The race stayed green with Strane scoring a commanding win by over 3.5 seconds over second place Chad Stouthamer of Big Bend. Ron Brannam came across a season best third. Delavan's Chris Quillman had a career best at 141 Speedway finishing fourth. Bristol's Tucker Richards earned the Behling Race Equipment Hard Charger moving up six spots to finish fifth.

"This is awesome to make a sweep of the weekend," said Strane, who has taken over the series season point lead heading into a stop at Sycamore Speedway in Illinois on Saturday, May 31. "I have to thank my dad for the awesome set up on the car, which allowed me to make it stick anywhere I wanted to go. Have to thank mom, too, as she made the trip. I can't wait to get to Sycamore."
Waukesha's Mark Heinert picked up the Body Craft Fast Qualifier with a :12.985 clocking, following up with a win in the Fox Lake Harbor Presents All Star Performance Heat 1. Nick Petska of Spring Grove, IL won the Game Day Men's Health Presents Behling Race Equipment Heat 2.

At Sycamore, the a second IRA class is making the trip with their first appearance of the season there, the AutoMeter Wisconsin WingLESS Sprints. Sycamore's limited late models, street stocks and pure stocks round out the card with racing slated to get underway at 7:30 p.m. For tickets or further information check the Sycamore Speedway website.
