UARA’s National division returns from a hiatus of over two months for the third annual Bigley Tune-Up 125 at the Freedom Factory, acting as the only track time allotted to drivers before its counterpart race in November, the Bill Bigley Sr. Memorial 128, with serious competition showing up.
There are 25 entrants confirmed to race 125 laps this Saturday, October 17th, around the .375-mile oval in Bradenton, Florida. This venue was formerly known as DeSoto Speedway before YouTube sensation Cleetus McFarland purchased the property in January of 2020.
Last year’s Bigley Memorial winner George Gorham Jr. is looking to double up his win total from the year prior at the Freedom Factory, but will have to work for it with local heavyweights trying to stop him. Colin Allman is a winner of the Bigley Tune-Up event, taking top honors in 2025.
Daniel Webster aims to add to his win tally in UARA’s National division after his breakthrough win over Stephen Nasse at Citrus County earlier this year.
Previous Bigley Memorial winners racing for double honors this year include Jesse Dutilly, and Steve Dorer who share three victories between them (Dutilly two, Dorer one). Dylan Bigley, the grandson of Bill Sr., is tasked with double duty this weekend between this event and the Sportsman Series companion race, in which he’s only six points behind championship leader Tim Sozio.
