Bellefeuille, Johnson, Boyum, Randt and Smith roll on during Thunder City’s night two at the Dirt Track Nationals

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO (September 20) - Thunder City Speedway put the bow on a solid 2025 season Saturday, with the final night of the Thunder Bay Truck Centre Dirt Track Nationals.

Winners in WISSOTA Dirt Track Series action included Jody Bellefeuille, Ashley Boyum, Spencer Smith, Levi Randt and Tim Johnson.

Bellefeuille outlasted a group of heavy hitters in the top 10 to garner the victory in the WISSOTA Modifieds. He moved into second in the first three laps and held that spot for a good duration of the race, getting past race-long leader Cole Chernosky with about 11 laps left on the board and moving out to a more than 2-second lead at the checkered flag. Chernosky settled for second, Dave Cain was third, Cole Spacek was fourth and Curtis Stieh completed the top five.

Boyum celebrated in victory lane Saturday in the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds after what was a difficult and trying week for their race team, which includes her husband Wyatt. Ashley started from the front row of the 30-lapper and led laps 1-16. She was passed by Jamie Davis for the lead about lap 17 and he took the checkered flag, but was later DQ’d, elevating Boyum back to first. David Simpson, 14th-starter Tyler Vernon, and William Moelter were top-five finishers.

Tim Johnson made the trip north of the border pay off handsomely, as he started from the pole of the WISSOTA Super Stock feature and led from start to finish to pick up the win by a scant .294 of a second ahead of Cole Chernosky, who himself was just .039 of a second ahead of third-place finisher Kyle Copp. Jordan Henkemeyer and DJ Keeler completed the top five.

Spencer Smith collected his seventh win of the season Saturday in the WISSOTA Hornet finale. He took the checkered flag ahead of Hunter Marshall, who had worked his way forward from 12th at the start to finish second. Eleventh-starter Joshua Kruzel was third ahead of Carrie Allen and Martin Bolt in the top five.

The WISSOTA Street Stocks ran their feature on Saturday as well, and Randt grabbed the victory ahead of 12th-starter Darren Wolframe, Kyle Bolt, Brendan Makkinga and Nathan Henny.
