Spring Run, PA (Sept. 28, 2025) — Two weeks ago it had taken him 84 tries to find Kubota High Limit Racing victory lane. Now Tanner Thorson is making it look routine. The Nevada native scored his second career High Limit winSunday at Path Valley Speedway Park, just 16 days after breaking through at Lernerville.
Starting fifth, Thorson tracked down Giovanni Scelzi and Brad Sweet, taking the lead on Lap 22 and never looking back.
