The Touring Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS) was at the Rocket Raceway Park for the 11th Annual Bryan Mize Memorial race.
The event was originally scheduled as a two-night event, but Mother Nature was the winner on night two as the second night was canceled due to rain in the forecast.
The field was stacked with talent as 39 TOMS drivers checked in for the event.
In the A feature, Dean Abbey (Boyd, Texas) led the opening lap, but Jason Ingalls (Longview, Texas) led the next three laps before the field was slowed for a caution as Jack Sartain (Royse City, Texas) lost the handle on his No. 47 car and spun exiting turn two.
The field completed one lap under green before another caution came out as Steven Ashcraft (Forney, Texas) came to a stop at the top of turn four.
On the ensuing green flag, Gary Christian (Broken Bow, Oklahoma) made contact with Ingalls as he hit a “character spot” and slid up the track exiting turn four. The contact put Ingalls into the front stretch wall and ultimately ended his night. Ingalls was leading the race at the time of the incident.
Jake Huckaby (Texarkana, Texas) took over the race lead and went on to lead 11 laps before a caution for debris with 16 laps remaining slowed the drivers down and forced another restart.
Shane Hartline (Ivanhoe, Texas) took the lead from Huckaby with nine laps to go as Huckaby slipped up exiting turn two.
Hartline would go on to lead the remaining nine laps and capture his fourth TOMS victory of the 2025 season.
Hartline also stretched his points lead over Abbey to 51 points following Abbey’s fourth place finish.
Huckaby finished second, while Sartain was third. Abbey was fourth and Bryan Gunwall (Brookston, Texas) rounded out the top five.
Sartain recorded the fastest lap of the race with a time of 14.420 seconds on lap 17, according to My Race Pass timing.
The hard chargers of the night were Kale Murphey (Tullos, Louisiana) and Dale Carr (Sadler, Texas).
Murphey moved up 15 spots from his 23rd starting position for an eighth-place finish, while Carr moved up 12 spots from his 21st starting position and finished behind Murphey in ninth place.
