The chase for the T.P. Trailer Modified championship has been going back and forth between several drivers since the middle of July, and this Saturday night the title will be decided, with four drivers still mathematically in contention to win the championship.
Duane Howard is on top of the standings by 160 over Mike Gular, 180 over Louden Reimert, and 204 over Jared Umbenhauer, with a maximum of 310 points possible for any one driver to gain and a minimum of 10 points, so it will be a nail biter to the end.
Howard is a six-time champion in his career at Grandview having won the title in 1993, 1996, 1997, 2010, 2012, and 2019, and is looking to add another title to his resume, while Mike Gular is a one time champion, having won his previous point title in 2018.
Louden Reimert and Jared Umbenhaur are both former T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman champions in their careers, but are looking for their first T.P. Trailer Modified point title.

It is completely the opposite scenario in the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman division, as Colin Cox has an 874 point lead entering this Saturday’s program, and cannot be over taken, making for a no stress night for him in looking to wrap up his first Grandview Speedway point championship.
The T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman have also been highly competitive, with eleven different drivers reaching victory lane during the 2025 season including two-time winners Colin Cox, Jesse Landis, Addison Meitzler, and Joey Vaccaro joined by one time winners Lawson Szerencits, Ryan Graver, Shannon Slaughter, Brett Gilmore, Kenny Gilmore, Parker Guldin, and Dylan Swineharrt, who will all lead three dozen drivers in the division into action this Saturday night looking to reach victory lane.
