The Jake’s Automotive Small Block Supermodifieds would make their second trip to EMRP in 2025. Mike Bruce won the spring race and would hope to repeat. Greg O’Connor and Tim Proud would win their heat races and prepare to lead the charge. However, the most dominate car of the evening belonged to Dalton Rombough in the Ed Matteson owned #47. Rombough was called to fill in for Matt Matteson due to his familiarity with the EMRP oval.
