Crate Racin' USA
Waller, Inmon, and Jackson Capture Victories at the 19th Annual Gumbo Nationals!
(Eastaboga, AL – October 6, 2025) - The 19th Annual Gumbo Nationals at Greenville Speedway in Greenville, Mississippi, delivered another memorable weekend of Crate Racin’ USA Weekly Division competition as drivers battled through a deep field of entries across all three headline divisions — Dirt Late Models, Late Model Sportsman, and Street Stocks.
CRUSA Dirt Late Models Winner: JC Waller (#7W – Fulton, MS)
Patience and perseverance paid off for JC Waller, who capitalized on early misfortune for leader Chris Showah to claim the CRUSA Dirt Late Model victory.
Showah paced the opening 10 laps from the pole before his night came to an early end with an engine failure. That opened the door for Waller, who had been methodically working his way forward from the seventh starting position. Once out front, Waller never looked back, leading the final 10 circuits to secure the win.
Christian Chamblee earned the Hard Charger Award, storming from 12th to finish second, while Peter Hazzard, Stormy Derryberry, and Derek Thornburg rounded out the top five.
Top 5 Finishers:
1-JC Waller (7W)
2-Christian Chamblee (27C)
3-Peter Hazzard (7P)
4-Stormy Derryberry (823)
5-Derek Thornburg (10MM)
Lap Leaders: Showah (1–10), Waller (11–20)
Hard Charger: Chamblee (+10)
CRUSA Late Model Sportsman Winner: Chance Inmon (#14 – Greenville, MS)
Home-track advantage worked in favor of Chance Inmon, who delivered a flawless flag-to-flag performance to capture the Late Model Sportsman feature win.
Starting from the outside of the front row, Inmon wasted no time taking command and led all 15 laps en route to victory. Hunter McIntyre and Jason Michau completed the podium after an intense battle for second.
Both Brandon Lunsford (8th to 4th) and Zack Owens (10th to 6th) earned Hard Charger recognition for their steady climbs through the field.
Top 5 Finishers:
1-Chance Inmon (14)
2-Hunter McIntyre (05H)
3-Jason Michau (11)
4-Brandon Lunsford (25)
5-Allen Edwards (36)
Lap Leader: Inmon (1–15)
Hard Chargers: Lunsford (+4), Owens (+4)
MSSS/CRUSA Street Stocks Winner: Caiden Jackson (#05 – Guntown, MS)
The Mississippi Street Stock Series regular Caiden Jackson continued his winning ways at Greenville, charging to victory in the CRUSA Street Stock feature during the Gumbo Nationals weekend.
Jackson, who started on the front row, took command on lap one and never relinquished it, holding off polesitter Ashley Newman and fellow frontrunner Mickey Steele in a 20-lap thriller that featured heavy traffic and plenty of side-by-side action.
Jamie Toten earned Hard Charger honors, advancing ten spots from 18th to finish eighth in the ultra-competitive main event that saw over 25 entries.
Top 5 Finishers:
1-Caiden Jackson (05)
2-Ashley Newman (73)
