Solander snags finale while Westover wins ARMS title
FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 8)—The USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports closed out its 2025 campaign on one of the largest dirt stages in the country as a season’s worth of work, durability and determination all came to a head at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on Saturday.
Entering the weekend, Altus, Okla.’s Kale Westover carried a 76-point advantage in the championship standings over Manuel Williams II, Joe Duvall and Sean Gaddis, but the title was far from secure as the weekend began.
With the team successfully completing an overnight engine change, Westover officially clinched the 2025 USRA American Racer Modified Series championship the moment he checked into competition on Saturday,. but the podium points battle was far from settled as just one point separated Gaddis and Williams II for second in the final standings.
For the second straight night, Cade Dillard posted the Deatherage Opticians overall quick time and won his heat race, but it was Reece Solander who drew the pole for the Wehrs Machine A-Feature. Solander used the prime starting spot to perfection, pacing all 25 laps while only a pair of cautions interrupted his rhythm. Dillard stalked him closely on each restart, but Solander kept the car straight and stayed smooth securing his second victory of the season.
Meanwhile, the battle for second in championship points unfolded directly within the A-Feature running order. Gaddis started from the outside pole, while Williams II was forced to come through a B-Main and lined up deep in the field. Williams charged forward all race long, reaching 11th, but it wasn’t enough.
Gaddis delivered a composed and decisive top-five finish, locking himself in as the 2025 USRA American Racer Modified Series runner-up, with Williams settling third in the final season standings.
The season ended with Westover crowned champion, Gaddis claiming second by a narrow margin, Williams II in third, Duvall in fourth, and Gary Christian completing the top five.
