Brown, Roling Win Friday Night Features at Xtreme Speedway
(Danville, AL – July 4, 2025) – The Rogers-Dabbs Performance Parts Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series made a triumphant return to northern Alabama on Friday night, kicking off a holiday double-header at Xtreme Speedway in Danville. For the first time since 2022, the stars of the series roared into the high-banked oval, and fans were treated to a pair of thrilling $1,500-to-win non-points feature races that served as qualifiers for Saturday’s marquee event.
Georgia’s Joseph Brown and Florida’s Bubba Roling emerged victorious in their respective 20-lap features, earning front-row starting positions for Saturday’s 50-lap, $5,000-to-win main event, which also awards full Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series points.
Feature 1: Brown Cruises from Outside Front Row
Starting second, Joseph Brown wasted no time taking command in the opening feature. The No. 92 driver led all 20 laps to collect the win over pole-sitter Koulten Herbert (No. 611), who held on for second. Logan Bradford, Matt Henderson, and Caleb Gay rounded out the top five in a stacked field. Bryson Mitchell earned Hard Charger honors by advancing four positions from 13th to finish ninth.
Feature 2: Roling Dominates Under the Lights
In the second feature, Bubba Roling made his pole position count, leading wire-to-wire for a convincing victory in the No. 515 machine. Jimmy Thomas (No. 22T) chased Roling but never found the opening he needed, finishing second. Jeremy Steele, Austin Yarbrough, and Joey Armistead III completed the top five.
The field saw multiple drivers gaining two positions each in a tightly contested race.
