By Chad Adamson

MONTEVIDEO, MN (May 2) - A total of 86 cars were in the pits for the 2025 season opener at Fiesta City Speedway. With rainouts across WISSOTA country, it was a nice mix of familiar faces and visitors on hand for the opening night action.

WISSOTA Dirt Track Series winners included Zach Johnson, Blake Adams, Travis Scott, Landyn Randt, Levin Randt, and Brady Albertson.

Blake Adams, who pulled double duty Friday night, was the early leader of the WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature. With just two laps to go, Landyn Randt drove by Adams for the top spot and drove on to pick up his first feature win at Fiesta City Speedway. Eighth-starter Tyler Vernon displaced Adams for second, Onyx Johnson was fourth, and 11th-starter Tim Kanten improved six spots to complete the top five.

Levi Randt led the entire WISSOTA Street Stock feature from start to finish for his first Fiesta City Speedway win. Ninth-starter Mike Jans zipped his way through the field to second, Josh Long was third, 13th-starter Zachary Flickinger charged to fourth, and Dustin Schultz was fifth at the finish.

Travis Scott won the WISSOTA Super Stock feature as he battled Shawn Fernkes throughout the race to get his first win of the season. Fernkes had to settle for second ahead of polesitter Jason Hobbs, Shawn Schnabel and Jayden Friauff in the top five.

Lee Grosz was the leader to start the WISSOTA Late Model feature, keeping pace out front for the first 11 laps. Zach Johnson took the lead from Grosz with three laps to go to get his first Late Model win at Fiesta City Speedway since 2016. Devin Fouquette improved five positions to finish runner-up, while Grosz had slipped back to third at the checkered flag. Jon Tollakson and Rusty Kollman were top-five finishers.

Nate Heinrich took the lead at the beginning of the WISSOTA Modified feature, but during the final laps Adams found his way by the No. 10H and went on to get his first Modified win at Fiesta City Speedway. Heinrich, Brandon Copp, Ryan Flaten and Ryan Gierke completed the top five.

In the WISSOTA Hornet feature, Anthony Jenson was the early leader from his front-row starting spot. Bobie Arnes got by Jenson on lap two take the lead, and held the lead until the final lap. As the field came to take the white flag, Brady Albertson drove to the front of the field and went on to get the feature win. Arnes, Jerik Stabler, Jenson, and Bradley Rossow rounded out the top five.

In the track’s Pure Stock class, Landon Albertson took the lead at the start of the feature and held his spot out front for six laps. Justin Erp took over the lead with four laps to go, but Albertson retook the lead on the very next lap. He went on to get his first feature win at Fiesta City Speedway. Colten Schultz was second, while Erp slipped back to third at the finish.
