This past weekend racers reset the attendance record for Auburn RC in the last 5 years with 144 entries showing out at the 2025 JConcepts Summer Dirt Oval Nationals.
Auburn RC is an absolutely beautiful outdoor high bite facility with covered pitting, an onsite hobby shop, food trucks, and all the necessities you would expect from a high end track.
The JConcepts team and supporters found the most success on Smoothie 2.0 tires flipping between RM2 and Dirt Tech inserts as well as utilizing the new Smoothie 3.0 tire in the G3 compound.
Qualifying went well for the team with the following results:
Mod Sprint: 2nd Raymond Benkowski, 5th Kyle Layton
Mod Late Model: 2nd JB Craighead (JC Privateer), 3rd Kyle Layton, 4th Raymond Benkowski, 5th Tyler Hooks
