In the Mini Stocks division, Jared Ball claimed the championship, followed by Charlie Ashby in second, Travis McDaniel in third, Maddex Fulkerson in fourth, and Zach Witt in fifth.

Windy Hollow Speedway also presented specialty awards for the season. Kyle Lambert and Colin Boone were named Rookies of the Year. Charlie Ashby received Most Improved Driver of the Year honors, and Zach Witt was named Sportsman of the Year.
“We were faced with a lot of adversity at the beginning of 2025,” said track promoter Trevor Hutchins. “We had a lot of rain, which led to canceled events, and a track that we weren’t happy with. We couldn’t have had a successful season without everyone in this room. It’s greatly appreciated.”
Windy Hollow Speedway will kick off the 2026 season with an open practice session on March 27.
