• HRC plans to auction actual parts from Honda V10 engine used by Ayrton Senna to win 1990 F1 Championship
• First HRC memorabilia auction will take place during Monterey Car Week in August
• HRC currently selecting heritage machines from the IndyCar series and valuable race machines from motorcycles to be included in the future

Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), a racing arm of Honda, announced today that it is launching a memorabilia business, offering fans and collectors around the world an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of racing history. This exciting new venture will feature a wide range of authentic, high-quality memorabilia, including signed merchandise, limited-edition collectibles and rare artifacts from the company’s storied legacy in motorsport.

To commemorate the new memorabilia business, HRC plans to auction rare, selected parts from the historic Honda RA100E V10 F1 engine that powered the championship machine driven by Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger in the 1990 F1 season  during California’s Monterey Car Week in August. Furthermore, HRC is currently selecting heritage machines and parts from the IndyCar series and significant racing motorcycles for private sales or auctions soon.

By having a part of the Honda F1 engines that powered the winning machines driven by Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger, fans can vividly recall the glorious moment of those days whenever they like. Through this business, we aim to further enhance the racing brand value of Honda and HRC.

The Honda RA100E F1 engine was faithfully disassembled at HRC’s factory in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan by the original builders of these very special winning engines. The auction items include various internal and external components, such as camshafts, cam covers, pistons and connecting rods, beautifully housed in display cases, each accompanied by an original HRC certificate of authenticity.

Honda showcases historic racing machines at the Honda Collection Hall in Mobility Resort Motegi, Tochigi Prefecture, and the Honda RACING Gallery at Suzuka Circuit in Mie Prefecture. These exhibits include machines that participated in the Isle of Man TT races in the 1950s, the early F1 machines from the 1960s, and various other machines up to the present day. Many of these machines are diligently maintained in good running condition with a variety of rare curated spare parts in its collection. The collection hall has carefully selected limited collectible parts from this inventory to ensure items up for sale do not affect the preservation of the running machines.

“We aim to make this a valuable business that allows fans who love F1, MotoGP and various other races to share in the history of Honda’s challenges in racing since the 1950s.” said HRC President Koji Watanabe. “Including our fans to own a part of Honda’s racing history is not intended to be a one-time endeavor, but rather a continuous business that we will nurture and grow.”

CHILLICOTHE, OH (April 1, 2025) – Race season has arrived in the Ohio Valley, and The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet are ready to invade the region for the first time in 2025.

A regular stop on the World of Outlaws Late Models tour since 1989, Atomic Speedway will host the Series for two nights of action Friday and Saturday as part of the Fireball 50.

Action gets underway on Friday night with a 35-lap, $12,000-to-win, main event before a 50-lap, $15,000-to-win, Feature caps off the program on Saturday night. In addition to the Late Models, the program will also include Modifieds on Friday and Sport Mods and Legend Cars on Saturday.

Here are the top storylines entering the weekend:

THE BOBBY & RYAN SHOW: The 2025 season is only eight races old, but every driver not named Bobby Pierce and Ryan Gustin knows exactly who they have to beat if they want to contend for the championship in the fall.

With two wins apiece, Pierce and Gustin stand as the only two current title contenders to reach Victory Lane with the Outlaws this year. They also sit 1-2 in multiple key metrics, including Heat Race wins and Feature laps led.

If history is anything to go by, the next chapter in their battle will be written at the front of the pack this weekend. The last three World of Outlaws races at Atomic were won by either Pierce or Gustin, and they are the only Series regulars to win an Outlaw race at the track since Tim McCreadie took the checkers in 2006.

Gustin took a few nights to get the hang of Atomic, as he missed the top 10 in his first four Outlaw starts there. Something clicked last August though, as “The Reaper” picked up back-to-back podiums with a third on Friday and a win on Saturday. Pierce has been impeccable at the track from the start, as he’s collected two wins and no finishes worse than fourth in World of Outlaws competition.

ON THE UPSWING: Following a strong end to the 2024 season, Brian Shirley rolled into 2025 looking for more race-winning speed. Instead, he got the exact opposite in the opening weeks of the year.

A disastrous Speedweeks buried him in the standings and left him with a shop full of wrecked cars and blown engines. Smoky Mountain Speedway wasn’t much better, as “Squirrel” never found his footing and came home 21st. But when the tour traveled south to Swainsboro Raceway, the Bob Cullen Racing team began to show signs of life.

After using a provisional to start Friday’s Feature, Shirley moved up 11 spots in 35 laps to finish 13th. Saturday saw Shirley’s best early-night speed in months, as he qualified sixth in his group, finished second in his Heat Race to make his first Redraw of 2025 and spent the first half of the Feature running in the top 10. A flat left-rear tire may have knocked him down to 20th in the final order, but the No. 3S clearly had speed.

Shirley delivered two more encouraging performances last weekend in a MARS Late Model Championship event at Maquoketa Speedway, finishing fourth and third in a field that included several other Outlaws like Pierce, Gustin, Tanner English, Dennis Erb Jr. and Daniel Adam.

The next two weeks present a golden opportunity for Shirley to show what he’s capable of. He ended the night on the podium in his last three World of Outlaws starts at Atomic and has a DIRTcar Summer Nationals win in Chillicothe on his resume from 2014. Then, he’ll head back to his home state for next weekend’s Illini 100 at Farmer City Raceway. Shirley’s decades-long track record there includes two wins each with the World of Outlaws, Hell Tour and MARS along with several more local and regional triumphs.

BREAKING THROUGH: As the only driver with seven top 10s in the first eight races, Nick Hoffman has arguably been the most consistent driver on tour so far in 2025. But solid finishes alone aren’t enough to win a World of Outlaws championship.

The season is still young, but up to this point Hoffman finds himself in the opposite scenario from a year ago. In 2024, “The Thrill from Mooresville” won five times – two more than champion Brandon Sheppard – but trailed Sheppard in top fives and top 10s. This time around, a lack of wins is his only deficit compared to the likes of Pierce and Gustin.

Atomic could be just the place for Hoffman to remove his goose egg from the win column. He’s a two-time winner in regional action and owns three top fives in four World of Outlaws starts at the track.

ROOKIE RACE ROLLS ON: There’s a new driver on top of the MD3 Rookie of the Year Award battle entering Atomic, as a pair of top fives at Swainsboro were enough to vault Drake Troutman around Ethan Dotson and into fourth in the overall points table.

Troutman kicked his season into gear on the final night of Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals when he led several laps and finished second to Jonathan Davenport. Smoky Mountain didn’t go his way with a 24th-place run, but Troutman quickly got back on track in Georgia. On the other hand, Dotson got off to a hot start with two top fives in the first three Outlaw nights of the year at Volusia Speedway Park, but has struggled to replicate that speed in the weeks since.

While Dotson has yet to compete at Atomic in a Late Model, his Modified stat sheet is certainly impressive. The Californian ran a three-race weekend with the Renegades of Dirt Tour in 2022 and finished first, first and third in the Features. Troutman was also in attendance that weekend, scoring a best finish of seventh.

Trailing that duo in the rookie standings are Jake Timm, Daniel Adam, Austin Smith and Dillon McCowan.

SCOUTING THE LOCALS: In addition to the World of Outlaws, this weekend’s event is co-sanctioned by the Valvoline American Late Model Iron Man Series, bringing the toughest Late Model competition in the region together to battle the nation’s best.

They’ll be led by reigning Series champion Rusty Schlenk, who finished top five at Atomic last June on his way to the title. The three-time DIRTcar UMP Late Model national champion is already batting 1.000 in 2025, winning twice in two starts at Attica Raceway Park.

Other “Buckeye State” natives to keep an eye on include Rod Conley, who beat the Outlaws at Atomic in 2008 and finished top five at the track four times last year, as well as Adam Stricker, who came home fifth against the Outlaws in last year’s Fireball 50.

The tour is ready to pay tribute to the “Ragin’ Cajun” with a full weekend in Oklahoma

COLCORD, OK (April 1, 2025) – The time has come to honor one of the finest men to ever grace the sport of Sprint Car racing, Jason Johnson.

The “Ragin’ Cajun” embodied professionalism throughout his career as he launched and built Jason Johnson Racing into an organization capable of competing at the highest level of the sport. Johnson knew no strangers, treating all in the pit area with kindness and respect.

After his passing, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars have prioritized racing in his honor every season, and this weekend brings the seventh edition of the Jason Johnson Classic presented by FK Rod Ends.

For the second year in a row, Colcord, OK’s Arrowhead Speedway is the host. The pristine facility just west of the Arkansas border welcomed The Greatest Show on Dirt for the first time last year. This time around the event grows to two days as the country’s best Sprint Car drivers are set for a full weekend (April 4-5) of action in the “Sooner State.” Saturday’s winner will bank $20,000.

It’s time to put on a show for Jason Johnson.

Let’s look at the weekend’s top storylines:

#FOREVER41: The Jason Johnson Classic naturally brings plenty of attention to the Jason Johnson Racing crew, and Carson Macedo will look to drive the No. 41 on a storybook trip to Victory Lane Saturday.

The JJR team took the first running back in 2019, leaving no dry eyes on the property of Lake Ozark Speedway. That win came with David Gravel behind the wheel, and the team is still looking for their second event triumph.

It would no doubt be a special moment for Macedo if he can pull it off. The Lemoore, CA native was the first to win in the No. 41 after Johnson’s passing in 2018. Macedo claimed his prelim at Knoxville Raceway’s 360 Nationals. He ran a handful of races for the team to close out that year and laid the foundations for his eventual move to JJR in 2021. His best finish in the Jason Johnson Classic is second in 2023.

Macedo has won 42 World of Outlaws Features since joining the team and last year nearly lifted them to Johnson’s dream of a title, finishing runner-up to David Gravel by less than 100 points. He’s in the championship hunt again early in 2025, trailing Gravel by 78 markers with 13 races complete. The 28-year-old has only missed the top 10 once this season with Johnson’s cousin Philip Dietz continuing to turn the wrenches.

SIX RACES, SIX WINNERS: Parity has been the pattern through six runnings of the Jason Johnson Classic as no driver has been able to claim more than one through six runnings.

Gravel’s victory in the inaugural edition was already mentioned, and he was followed by James McFadden, Brad Sweet, and Jacob Allen while the event took place at Lake Ozark Speedway. Rico Abreu claimed 2023 when the event shifted to 81 Speedway. Last year, it relocated to its current home of Arrowhead Speedway and Sheldon Haudenschild scored the $20,000 prize.

That leaves many powerhouses of the sport without a Jason Johnson Classic win that could continue the trend this weekend. Names such as Donny Schatz, Michael “Buddy” Kofoid, Logan Schuchart, Giovanni Scelzi, and others will be in search of their first. Two former winners, Gravel and Haudenschild, will be in attendance aiming to become the first with two.

ROTH ROLLING: It took a few weeks, but Michael “Buddy” Kofoid and Roth Motorsports are performing at the level many expected them too in 2025.

It began with six consecutive top 10 finishes beginning with the final night of Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals through the first of two evenings at Kennedale Speedway Park. And in the four races since that streak started, Kofoid and company have elevated to another level.

It started with a win in the Cowtown Classic finale. Kofoid then led laps on night one at Cotton Bowl Speedway before a runner-up. He finished second the following night too. The latest statement was a victory in his debut at Lawton Speedway to make it four consecutive top two finishes.

Now the focus turns to Arrowhead, where the Penngrove, CA native finished seventh last year in his only trip to the track.

NEW POWER: Major news hit the Sprint Car world last Friday when it was announced that Donny Schatz and his Tony Stewart/Curb Agajanian Racing team would be returning to Chevrolet engines after spending the last several seasons running and developing the FPS410. The No. 15 will continue to attract plenty of attention as Schatz gets reacquainted with Chevy power.

The sample size is small so far as Schatz has only one night back with the bowtie. He drove from 15th to 10th on Friday at Lawton. Schatz’s Arrowhead experience is also limited to one previous appearance. The Fargo, ND driver finished 11th at the Oklahoma oval last year.

But around the corner there are plenty of tracks on the calendar where Schatz has loads of experience. I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park is home to a trio of his wins and is a week after the Jason Johnson Classic. The following weekend brings the tour to Knoxville Raceway, and Schatz’s endless accomplishments at “The Sprint Car Capital of the World” are well known. Not too long after that is a weekend at Eldora Speedway.

KNOTTED UP: The 2025 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year battle continues to live up to the hype.

Only a couple weeks after Garet Williamson took over the top spot for the first time, there’s a tie at the top. Early leader Chris Windom finished ninth at Lawton, his fifth top 10 of the year and enough to equal Williamson’s point total. Despite Windom catching him, Williamson has still been solid as of late with nine straight finishes within the top 15.

Behind those two lurks Hunter Schuerenberg in third, 30 markers behind. Then, after “Hunter Percent” it’s Cole Macedo, Zach Hampton, Conner Morrell, and Skylar Gee.

Randy Meyer Racing rolled into the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals with momentum and a new face in the driver’s seat. After a rain-delayed finish at the Gatornationals, the team was ready for redemption—and rookie McKenna Bold delivered in a big way during her Top Alcohol Dragster debut.

Bold impressed right out of the gate in Meyer’s Maxima Racing Oils/CP-Carrillo branded nitro dragster, qualifying 6th with a clean 5.24 at 272 mph. Meanwhile, teammate Matt Cummings improved throughout qualifying and landed in the #4 spot with a strong 5.206 at 276.46 mph thanks to the Maxima/CP powerhouse combo. Both drivers were positioned solidly in the top half of the field and on opposite sides of the ladder heading into eliminations.

In round one, McKenna laid down a statement run: a 5.189 at 274.05 mph—her best career pass and the quickest of the round—to earn her first national event round win. Cummings followed up with a lucky win light of his own, advancing both Randy Meyer Racing dragsters to round two on Sunday.

Though both drivers exited in the second round, they went down swinging. Cummings posted his quickest pass of the weekend with a 5.193 at 279.44 mph, but Joey Severance’s .036 light and a 5.227 pass were enough to edge him out in a holeshot win by just 0.0177 seconds. On the other side, Bold grabbed the starting line advantage against #2 qualifier Jamie Noonan but was outrun by Noonan’s event-best 5.146 at 279.04 mph.

“I’m feeling great after my national event debut with Randy Meyer Racing,” said Bold, “and while it was a tough loss in round two, I feel confident behind the wheel and super excited for my next race at the Las Vegas 4-Wides. I’ve raced for a few years, but this weekend was on another level—and I loved every second of it. Round 2 just didn’t go our way. I did my job as a driver but Noonan put on an absolute heater with a 5.14 for the 2nd fastest pass of the year in the category so even with my reaction time advantage, he was around me by the .330 cone. I’m proud of the runs we made and can’t wait to see what this team can accomplish after showing that kind of performance right out of the gate.”

Despite the outcome, the weekend was a huge success for the RMR team. Bold’s debut performance proved she’s ready to compete at the highest level of the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, and both crews showed top-tier speed and consistency.

The team now turns its attention to the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas next month, where RMR returns with unfinished business after a runner-up finish at the event last year. With two fast cars and a determined team, Randy Meyer Racing is fired up for the season ahead.
