It wasn’t looking good getting enough drivers to complete the series, but Team Maddox popped in just before Race 3 to make it a quorum for a Round 5 finale.

e Expert driver
Race 1: MegaG+ 1.7 Lites (Support Class)
Dean Donaldson proved he’s not just a Viper specialist in the final round of the series. The MG+ 1.7 chassis with an F1/Indy hardbody requires a fair amount of driving skill to master. Going into the final segment of Race 1, Dean was down two laps, but tied in points with Expert driver, Kevin Webster, sitting in 2nd place. Neither driver had a clear shot at the overall win, but the 2nd spot on the podium was up for grabs. So it was going to be a dogfight for 2nd place, and a dogfight it was. Both drivers had a perfect 30-lap final segment, but Dean wasn’t going to leave anything to chance, and he won the last segment outright and secured the 2nd-place podium position. Nice driving!

| 3 | Kevin Webster | 89 | 35 | 1034.444 |
Race 2: Wizzard Storms (20v) (I)
Kevin very nearly won this race. He and Dean had a one-point advantage going into the final segment, and the race win was still up for grabs. Kevin led the race going into the last segment and all drivers completed all 30 laps on the same lap! This one was the closest of the day. Details
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | Steve Stewart | 90 | 42 | 818.503 |
| 2 | Kevin Webster | 88 | 40 | 830.481 |
| 3 | Dean Donaldson | 86 | 38 | 826.692 |
Race 3: MegaG+ 1.7 Modified (i)
Team Maddox showed up for Race 3 and very nearly stole the whole show. The team hadn’t raced at Stewart Raceway for well over a month, but they demonstrated what a powerhouse team they are. Junior driver, Abe Maddox would bag three 2nd place segment finishes while Mom, Shaylin, would win her first segment and bag a second and third place segment finish.
Dean Donaldson had a great race going into his final rotation, leading the race by three points. Unfortunately, Dean had a disastrous final segment in the Blue lane, which netted him just 7 points, dropping off the podium but tied in points with Abe Maddox. Details
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |

| 2 | Shaylin Maddox | 114 | 47 | 962.740 |

| 4 | Dean Donaldson | 112 | 46 | 948.192 |
| 5 | Kevin Webster | 109 | 42 | 940.749 |
Race 4: Viper V-SPEC SPEC STOCK Lexan
Always the premiere race of the day, this one did not disappoint. Team Maddox had to cut their day short, so it was Sportsman driver, Dean Donaldson, against two Experts for the final official race of the day. Dean again proved he’s a top-level Viper driver with a solid 2nd-place podium finish and only five laps down at the end. Dean took 2nd place in all three segments and was just 3/100ths of a second off Home Cookin’s fastest lap. Details
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | Steve Stewart | 90 | 48 | 808.337 |
| 2 | Dean Donaldson | 85 | 39 | 816.506 |
| 3 | Kevin Webster | 65 | 33 | 825.474 |
New Track Records
Yeah, these are easy ones. The Wizzard Storms we ran in Race 2 have never been run on the “Fast Esses” course. Consequently, that race produced three new lap records.
Kevin Webster (Set Owner) clicked off a 5.389 in the Orange lane. Home Cook’n clocked a 5.659 in the Blue lane.
Race 5: Â Life-Like M-Chassis NASCAR (Webster) (i)
Not an official race, but these slotheads weren’t quite done racing. Kevin Webster redeemed himself in this one with three solid 2nd-place segment finishes and 2nd place overall. Dean and Kathy didn’t appreciate these cars, but they were pretty cool. Dean finally got into his groove in his final segment and bagged a 2nd place segment finish in the Green lane. It looks like Dean is figuring this out quite quickly. Details

Stay tuned for the final 2025 50/50 Series points standings and details on upcoming events at Stewart Raceway.
Okay, shut up and drive!

Round 2 of the 2025 50/50 Series was mainly a battle between Team Maddox and Team Rowland. We did three races (all IROC), and both teams duked it out with segment or race wins from almost every driver.
Local phenom Abe Maddox won three of his four segments to come from behind and win Race 1 by tying Home Cook’n on laps and points but with a total runtime of ~5 seconds faster. Team Rowland driver Dave Rowland had a strong showing in his second appearance at Stewart Raceway with a fourth-place finish just ahead of Team Maddox driver Shaylin Maddox in fifth-place.
Team Maddox looked to be the dominant team early on in this one, leading the race through the first three segments. However, the two Experts in the mix had their own battle going on, and about halfway through the race, it became a battle for the last podium spot between Team Maddox and Team Rowland. In the end, Abe would win his final segment, putting Team Maddox on the podium in third place. The battle for the final podium spot was extremely close, with just two to three laps separating each driver. 

Okay, Round 2 of this series is in the books. We’ll see how next weekend shapes up and who’s available. Maybe we’ll do an oval day on SR2 or SR3; we’ll see.


We had also expected a fierce battle between Team Maddox driver, Shaylin Maddox and Team Fast Lane’s, Eric Lane. That battle seemed to get off to a roaring start in the day’s first race. Shaylin bested Eric by just four points in the MegaG+ Modified class, 40 points to Eric’s 36 points. Abe Maddox would finish the race with three 3rd place segment finishes and a win in the final segment, just ahead of a hard-charging Expert driver, Jerry Pearson. With that success, Team Maddox decided to pack in for the day and would not continue. 
With Team Maddox accomplishing their team objectives and calling it a day, the rest of us continued the program and started Race 2.
The final race of the day! This one was quite the barnburner. Every driver moved into 2nd place during this one, and all set some very high-speed laps.
