Good morning!


We're spreading the coverage around a bit in this week's Friday Features edition. Several great photos from last weekend's Georgia Summer Nationals at Cordele Motor Speedway are included; the big winners from the ASA Southern Super Series-sanctioned show were Jake Garcia (35) and Bubba Pollard (26; cover images from Tyler Sontag/ SpeedRacer Photos). Last weekend also brought the final Limited Late Model points races of the season for three racetracks in Wisconsin, and these pages also have some snapshots from the ultra-competitive class at Jefferson Speedway, Dells Raceway Park and Slinger Super Speedway.


Two feature stories are also released. Both deal with female racers in their 20s who had been struggling for most of the 2025 campaign, which was the first full season in Late Models for each. Kayla Surles turned in a second-place effort in the Craig Murto Memorial event at Dominion Raceway in Virginia. The placing wasn't quite as high for Avery Demland in the Jegs CRA All-Stars Tour race at Auto City Speedway, but there was a key pleasing statistic for the daughter of Ohio veteran Brian Demland.
