Jackson Dominates the Street Stock World Championship at Whynot
(Eastaboga, AL – November 10, 2025) – The “House of Hook” once again delivered a weekend to remember as Caiden “Meatball” Jackson of Norco, Louisiana, captured the 3rd Annual Street Stock World Championship at Whynot Motorsports Park. The 20-year-old standout added another crown jewel to his 2025 campaign, continuing a dominant season that has seen him rise to the top of the Crate Racin’ USA Street Stock ranks.
The event, co-sanctioned with the Mississippi Street Stock Series, drew a massive 62-car field from across the Southeast. Three days of racing culminated with Saturday’s $8,000-to-win, 60-lap main event, where Jackson turned in a flawless flag-to-flag performance behind the wheel of his #05 Jackson Industrials STR GenX Street Stock.
After qualifying fourth overall in Group A with a 16.096-second lap on Friday night, Jackson went on to win his heat race from the outside front row, setting himself up for a prime starting spot in Saturday’s finale. Once the green flag dropped, Jackson quickly took command and never relinquished the lead, pacing all 60 laps of the main event around the smooth, high-banked Whynot clay oval.
The Louisiana driver held off challenges from a deep field that included Tyler Nicely of Owensboro, Kentucky, and hometown favorite Spencer Hughes of Causeyville, Mississippi. Nicely impressed with a charge from 14th to finish second and earn Hard Charger honors, while Hughes advanced from 11th to complete the podium. Rod Tucker and Jamey Boland rounded out the top five.
The 2025 event marked Jackson’s sixth win of the season and his fourth major victory at Whynot this year alone, further solidifying his mastery at the Mississippi oval.
