PRO LATE MODEL NOTES

CLOSE AT THE TOP 

Kyle Keller continues to lead the SPEARS CARS Tour Southwest Pro Late Model standings entering Orange Show Speedway. Keller has recorded six top-10 finishes through seven races this season, including a victory at Stockton 99 Speedway in April. The Las Vegas driver holds a three-point advantage over Robby Sawyer.

RIDING THE MOMENTUM

Sawyer enters Orange Show fresh off his first career SPEARS CARS Tour Southwest Pro Late Model victory at All American Speedway. The Bakersfield, Calif., driver held off Jaron Giannini in the closing laps on Aug. 29 and enters Saturday just three points behind Keller in the championship standings.

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

Giannini has finished second in three of his last four starts and has led 208 laps this season. The Las Vegas driver paced a race-high 114 of 125 laps at Colorado National Speedway before finishing second to Kevin Harvick in early August.

At All American Speedway on Aug. 29, Giannini led early before contact with a lapped car sent him to the rear. He rallied back to second before a flat tire forced another trip to the rear, then charged through the field once again in the closing laps to finish second behind Robby Sawyer. Giannini enters Orange Show third in points, 18 behind Keller.

DEFENDING WINNER

Linny White returns to Orange Show Speedway as the defending SPEARS CARS Tour Southwest Pro Late Model winner at the quarter-mile oval. The nearby Colton, Calif., driver scored two series victories in 2025 and finished third in the Pro Late Model championship standings.
