Six Or Seven First Time All Iowa Points Champions In 2025?

Now that we have wrapped up the Memorial Day weekend it is time to take a look at how the All Iowa Points stand through the Spring portion of the season. Yes, there is still a lot of racing ahead of us, but by this time of year we often have identified the contenders in each of the nine divisions and we just might see a bumper crop of first time champions in 2025.

Starting in the Late Models where Curtis Glover stands out as perhaps the most improved driver in the state. Leading the class on the strength of four feature wins in ten top five finishes thus far, Glover's 37 points already surpasses his previously best full season total of 29 points and the driver from Knoxville last scored points in the 2022 season. Late Model rookie Logan Veloz is currently second and already has six wins under his belt while national star Bobby Pierce sits in third on the strength of his March and April big money trips into Iowa. Young Jackson Frankel holds down fourth while three-time Stock Car champion Dallon Murty is fifth in his rookie season driving a Late Model.

Now in his third year behind the wheel of an IMCA Modified, Izac Mallicoat has hit his stride already posting sixteen top five finishes with four of them ending in victory lane as he sets the early pace in the All Iowa Points for the Modifieds. Mallicoat finished in a tie for 22nd in these standings last season. Two-time Limited Modified champion Logan Anderson is just three points back in second and if not for a couple of hard crashes already this season he might be at the top of the list. Anderson scored 16 points in the class back in 2018 and has burst back into the Modifieds in 2025 with six feature wins thus far. Spencer Diercks is right there in third followed by the 2009 champion Jeremy Mills while the 2008 champ Todd Shute is currently fifth.

Brayton Carter is looking to dominate the Limited Modified field once again in 2025 and he is well on the way to this third straight and fourth overall All Iowa Points title in the division. He already has seventeen feature wins with six of those coming in a six day stretch from May 4th to May 10th and he is just one point shy of the century mark before the month of June. Dylan VanWyk has scored more All Iowa Points thus far than any other driver, except for Carter, and he still finds himself 22 points behind in second.  Two-time champion Tony Olson is third, Cam Reimers ranks fourth and Jarrett Franzen is fifth. In 2024 Franzen finished fourth, Olson was sixth, VanWyk was ninth and Reimers finished thirteenth.

Another driver off to a hot start is Dillon Richards as the Beatrice, Nebraska, native has tallied twelve feature wins to set the pace in the Hobby Stock All Iowa Points. Richards tied for sixteenth in the final 2024 standings and with two-time defending champion Mike Smith moving on to a Sport Mod, that leaves the top spot open for the taking. Corey VanDerwilt has already surpassed his 2024 point total of 33 to sit in the second spot after the Memorial Day weekend while the 2022 champion Randy Lamar is third. Daniel Wauters is fourth and Jordan Miles ranks fifth as both finished in the top ten last season eighth and third respectively.

Just behind him though is the driver who has more All Iowa Points titles than any other as Terry McCarl looks to make it a baker's dozen with his thirteenth championships. His first came back in 1994 and his most recent title was in 2014 with all twelve coming in the 410 division for the National Sprint Car Hall of Famer. Three time champion Clint Garner is tied for third with Ryan Giles while Saturday night's feature winner at Knoxville, Tyler Groenendyk is fifth.
