Johnson, Giddens, Ashby set for Championship Weekend at "The Boro"!
(Eastaboga, AL - November 26, 2025) - The Rogers-Dabbs Performance Parts Crate Racin' USA Late Model Sportsman Tour will crown its second series champion this weekend at Swainsboro Raceway during the Turkey 100. Swainsboro will welcome the Chevrolet Performance 602 Late Model division for the very first time, with a $5,000 payday on the line Saturday night.
A pair of Moultrie, Georgia drivers currently sit atop the point standings, with only 38 points separating leader Brayden Johnson and Chase Giddens. Giddens came up just short one year ago, finishing eight points behind Logan Bradford in the inaugural Late Model Sportsman Tour championship chase.
Cunningham, Tennessee’s Caleb Ashby enters the weekend third in the standings, only 42 points out of the lead. Ashby was also a contender in the inaugural season, finishing third in the final tour standings. A strong field of competitors is expected to chase the $5,000 top prize on Saturday evening as the 2025 Late Model Sportsman championship comes down to the wire.
The Turkey 100 weekend will include five other divisions in action including the CRUSA Dirt Late Model Series ($10,000 to-win), CRUSA Street Stocks ($5,000 to-win), Factory Stocks ($5,000 to-win), Crown Vics ($1,000 to-win), and Crown Vic Jrs. ($500 to-win).
