Hickory Motor Speedway welcomed fans for another exciting night of competition on Saturday as a packed schedule featuring local divisions and touring series filled the historic facility. Twin Paramount Auto Group Limited Late Model “Big 10” features, the STAR Super Stock Tour, Carolina Pro Late Models, and Carolina Crate Modifieds combined to produce an action-filled
evening at America’s Most Famous Short Track.

The Paramount Auto Group Limited Late Models took center stage with a pair of Big 10 feature races, creating two opportunities for drivers to earn valuable championship points. In the
opening feature, Mason Walters put together a standout performance in the No. 16 machine, driving to victory over Vincent Arthur, who earned one of his strongest finishes of the season in second. Paityn Feyen continued her consistent campaign with a third-place finish, while Jaxon Lash and Dexter Canipe III completed the top five.

The second Big 10 feature produced a different winner as Dexter Canipe III answered with a victory in the No. 5 car. After finishing fifth in the opener, Canipe returned with a strong effort to
claim the win and split the evening’s twin features. Walters followed with another impressive run to finish second, while Mark Johnson secured a podium result in third. Billy Jack Lester and Jaxon Lash rounded out the top five, capping off an entertaining night for the Limited Late Model division.

The STAR Super Stock Tour made its return to Hickory with twin features of its own. Ricky Locklair Jr. proved to be the driver to beat, sweeping both races in the No. 31 machine. Jeff
Melton remained close behind in each event, recording a pair of runner-up finishes. Jacob Hayes completed the podium in the opening race before Gary Ledbetter claimed third in race
two. Locklair’s sweep further established him as one of the premier competitors on the touring circuit.

The Carolina Pro Late Models brought another talented field to the speedway, with Cameron Clifford taking control to earn the victory in the No. 18 machine. Hudson Canipe finished a
strong second after remaining in contention throughout the feature, while Jack Baldwin captured third. Talon Pelfrey and TJ Moon completed the top five in a race that showcased the depth of talent within the series.

The Carolina Crate Modifieds rounded out the evening with an impressive field battling around the historic short track. Annabeth Crum led the way to victory in the No. 12 machine after a composed drive at the front of the field. Dale Ogburn crossed the line in second, while Dean Lambros secured a podium finish in third. Toby Grynewicz and Mitchell Wright completed the top five after an exciting battle throughout the feature.
