💥 Camaro Over the Wall – Driver Walks Away
One of the scariest moments came in the second round of small tire eliminations. A Camaro lost control, cutting across hard near the top end and launching over the wall. The car was left a mangled wreck, but thanks to safety equipment and a well-built cage, the driver walked away unhurt. Medical staff quickly checked him out, proving once again that the right safety gear can make all the difference in high-speed drag racing crashes.
🔥 Foxbody Mustang on Fire
Another shocking highlight was when a Foxbody Mustang caught fire during competition. Flames on the starting line sent crews scrambling, but quick action got the situation under control. While dramatic, the incident reminded fans why Foxbody Mustangs remain a thrilling but unpredictable force in small tire competition.
👑 Ryan Carpenter: The Undefeated King with a Bounty
Perhaps the biggest storyline of the night was Ryan Carpenter, a 10-time winner at Cash at the Creek. His dominance led to a $2,500 bounty being placed on his head for anyone who could finally take him out. Despite close calls and less-than-perfect runs, Carpenter stayed undefeated, advancing into the finals once again. His confidence, combined with his experience, continues to make him one of the most feared small tire racers in the Midwest.
🚛 The S10 “Class Killer”
The finals of the DOT class belonged to an S10 truck that lived up to its “class killer” reputation. Powered by a twin-turbo LSX setup, this truck was nearly untouchable, storming through eliminations and securing the win. The crowd roared as the S10 once again proved why it’s considered one of the most consistent small tire trucks in the game.
🏁 Camaro vs. Camaro Finale – Big Tire Showdown
The night closed out with a Camaro vs. Camaro faceoff in the Big Tire final. Both cars pushed hard, delivering a spectacular run to end the evening. Fans were treated to the perfect mix of power, smoke, and side-by-side racing, the kind of matchup that makes grassroots drag racing so addictive.
