Here’s a look at what to watch for at Glen Ridge:
A Money Start: Mat Williamson, the 2023 DIRTcar 358 Modified Series champion, enters Glen Ridge at the top of the Series standings after his win at Airborne Park Speedway. The St. Catharines, ON driver also enters the weekend on a hot streak after earning three wins and two seconds in his last five races.
Williamson has made two Series starts at Glen Ridge in his career, finishing ninth in 2023 and third last season.
“Money Mat” is aiming for his 17th career DIRTcar 358 Modified Series victory and second on a 1/4-mile track after earning a Series win at Cornwall Motor Speedway in 2019.
Ridge Momentum: Defending Glen Ridge track champion Lance Willix earned his fifth win of 2025 by winning the track’s opening night Feature last Sunday.

The Theresa, NY competitor is also the defending winner of this event, after holding off Stewart Friesen to earn his second career DIRTcar 358 Modified Series win.
Willix has raced in both Series Features at Glen Ridge, finishing sixth in 2023 before his win last season.
In 15 starts in 2025, he has five wins, 12 top fives, and 14 top 10s.
Jordan McCreadie, who finished second to Willix last weekend, will try and keep the veteran 358 Modified driver out of Victory Lane. He finished third in last year’s event at Glen Ridge, and added an eighth in 2023.
The Watertown, NY driver is searching for his first career Series victory. He has five top fives and eight top 10s in 10 358 Modified starts in 2025.
Hollywood on the Ridge: Defending Series champion Felix Roy finished second to Williamson at Airborne last week and now aims for his first Series win on Sunday at Glen Ridge.
“Hollywood” finished fifth in last year’s race and seventh during the track’s inaugural Series stop in 2023.
Like Willix, the Napierville, QC driver has had a strong start to the season in DIRTcar 358 Modified events, earning four wins, eight top fives, and eight top 10s.
