Hunt Gossum Dominates Lincoln
Speedway for Fifth Career Summit Modified Nationals Feature Win
[June 24, 2025]
After four years of waiting, Hunt Gossum has made his return
to Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals Victory Lane.
The Mayfield, KY driver drove a perfect race at Lincoln Speedway on
Sunday night by leading flag-to-flag for his fifth career tour win.
Gossum began the night with the fastest time set in his Qualifying
group, then followed up the drive with the win in his Heat race.
The win helped Gossum draw the pole for the night’s 25-lap Feature
with multi-time Summit Modified winner Ray Bollinger to his outside
at the drop of the green flag.
Gossum used the bottom lane advantage to gain a 0.5-second lead over
Bollinger. At the same time, points leader Trevor Neville attempted
to pass Bollinger on the bottom lane for second place, but could not
make the move stick as he stayed behind Bollinger’s No. 77 UMP
Modified.
While lapped traffic added a new challenge for Gossum to face as the
halfway mark, he sliced through the pack through any open lane
available to gain a 1.9-second advantage until a caution on Lap 18
offered the field a second chance at passing him for the Feature
win.
Gossum did not cave under the pressure of the seven-lap race towards
the checkered flag as he gained a half-second lead on Bollinger for
his fifth career win, tying him with Ken Schrader and Allen Weisser
for 12th in all-time wins.
“I’m really happy, man,” Gossum said. “I feel like it’s been so long
since I’ve won one of those. I worked my ass off, my dad works his
ass off, my crew guy, Ty, works his ass off. I’m just so happy right
now that it all paid off.”
