Starks Makes History, Joins Ridge as Only Double Champions at Skagit Speedway

9/20/25

Alger, WA - For just the second time in Skagit Speedway history, a driver won the 410 and 360 season championship in the same season. It’s been 25 years since Randy Ridge won both titles in the same year - on Saturday night, Trey Starks became the second driver to accomplish the feat, winning the Karmart USA 410 Sprint Car championship and the A Mai =n event as well.

After securing the 360 sprint track title on Friday night, Starks was on the hunt for championship number two on the year and the $11,000 point fund check that goes with it. Trey set out to the early lead with Tyler Thompson in chase mode, Thompson made his way by Starks in traffic and looked to play spoiler on the night, but a lap 24 restart saw Starks find incredible drive coming off the fourth corner, repassing Thompson for the lead and the eventual win. The win was worth $5,500 in payout on top of securing his third 410 track title and the now shared history with Randy Ridge. Thompson would take second with Colton Heath taking third.

It was a wild night in the Sportsman Sprints with three drivers coming into the night with a shot at the track title. Jesson Jacobson was the furthest back in points of the trio and did everything he could to try and grab the championship, leading all 25 laps of the A Main despite heavy pressure from his competition the whole way. Jayden Whitney entered the feature second in points and ran second while Steven Hendrickson led the point battle coming into the feature and ended up third. The gap between Hendrickson and Whitney was six points coming into the feature, and with only a five point delta between second and third place in the feature finish, it was Hendrickson securing the championship in his rookie season by one marker. All Sportsman Sprint results are unofficial as of this writing while technical inspection is being done on the entirety of the top three.

For the first time in a number of years, Kevin Smith returned to victory lane at Skagit Speedway in the IMCA Modified division. Smith took the lead from Ben Gunderson on lap nine en route to the victory. Jeff Westergard finished fifth and in the process, secured his second straight IMCA Modified championship.
