Two of the country's biggest Super Late Model events north of the Ohio/Kentucky border and arguably the country are returning in 2025. According to a social media post last week, Berlin Raceway announced that their two premier Super Late Model Events will again return with over $55k on the line to win both events.
The first marquee Super Late Model event in Michigan is Wednesday, June 4th for the $15,000 to win Money in the Bank 150 presented by Baker Auto Chevrolet Buick Coopersville. In 2024, Blake Rowe appeared to have the strategy needed to collect the biggest win of his career, but a competition caution with just 11 laps to go brought Erik Jones and Bubba Pollard back to his bumper. Pollard, who started on the pole, fought his way around Rowe despite Rowe's best efforts and went on to collect the $15k payday.
"We just got good racecars," Pollard said of winning again at Berlin in June. "Terry Senneker and everyone that works at his shop gives us fast race cars when we need it. It takes a group effort... I just drove the hell out of it," Bollard finished in Victory Lane.
In August, the prestigious 250 lap TEKTON 250 Battle at Berlin, paying $40,000 to win returns on August 13th. Last season, Carson Hocevar got the $40K win holding off Erik Jones, Pollard, Michael Atwell, and Kole Raz. The top three raced on top of each other all night long before Hocevar finally started to gap Jones inside of 10 to go.
Additional Late Model events are expected to be announced for Berlin in the coming weeks as well as other special events like the ARCA Menards National Series on June 14th which was announced via ARCA last month. For more information on Berlin Raceway, log onto berlinraceway.com.
