RANSOMVILLE, NY (October 19, 2025) The 2025 season officially concluded for the Little R with the annual end of the season Awards Banquet at the South Wilson Fire Hall.Colin Spatorico won the Mike Barry Motors Sr Heavy track championship. Trent Smith claimed the Fisher’s Auto Repair Sr Lites track championship. Jake Schrader was declared the track champion for the Frontier Auto Wrecking Jr 3.

The Mechanic of the Year was presented to Jason Smith. Jason wrenches Trent’s and Cole’s racing efforts, in two different classes each week. His dedication, attention to detail, and willingness to help anyone in the pits made him a huge asset to this program.
Jake Schrader was named The Little R Driver of the Year. Schrader had a breakout year in 2025. With four victories, Schrader had 11 top 10 finishes, and had the Junior 3 division title wrapped up before championship night.
The Doug Etue/Larry Stolzenberg Memorial Award was presented to Jeff Anstett. Anstett is the kind of person who never hesitates to lend a hand whenever needed. Jeff also assists and jumps in when something goes wrong in the tower and gets it fixed so we can have a successful night. Jeff has given a huge part of his life to Ransomville Speedway and The Little R.
Congratulations to the tire giveaway winners Dan Bednarz, Kevin Myers, and Brianna Greene. Jaron Spencer won the Slack Kart chassis raffle.
