Mason Massey delivered a strong performance in the General Tire 150 at Phoenix Raceway, finishing fifth overall in a stacked ARCA Menards Series combination race that combined the national tour with the ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW). Massey’s second straight top-five result keeps in him on top of the AMSW standings by six points after two events.
Competing in a 40-car field, Massey qualified 14th and quickly worked his way forward and cracked the top ten by lap 11 as four yellow flags slowed the field in the first 29 laps. He advanced to eighth by lap 21 while managing a loose race car that kept the rear end moving under him through the corners. After several laps battling traffic, Massey worked his way into seventh and remained a factor near the front of the field as the race progressed. Following the lap-75 halfway break, Massey restarted inside the top five and maintained his position among the leaders.
A late caution set the stage for an overtime finish, where Massey found himself battling three-wide for position in the closing laps. Despite the chaos around him, he held his ground and crossed the line fifth after 157 laps. The result marked the second highest finishing position among AMSW regulars and capped a competitive afternoon against the top competitors from both tours in one of the largest fields expected this season.
“I’d like to thank Bill (McAnally, owner) and the entire BMR team for giving me such a fast race car tonight,” Massey said after the race. “It feels great to get into these BMR cars and know that I can go out there and compete with anyone on any given night. Tonight was a lot of fun. We will take a Top 5 and move on to the next one.”
Start / Finish: 14 / 5
Points Standing / Total: 1st / 86 pts. (+6)
Next Race: Saturday, April 11, Tucson Speedway

Ron Capps’ 2025 campaign came to an early close on Sunday when persistent rain forced NHRA officials to cancel the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip. The driver of the
link hidden, please login to view Toyota GR Supra Funny Car ended the season ranked No. 4 in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series standings, securing his 21st consecutive Top 10 finish. While the three-time world champion was eager to make a final charge in front of the Pomona faithful, Capps wrapped up his fourth year as a team owner proud of Ron Capps Motorsports’ performance in 2025 and energized by the momentum and opportunities ahead. Capps entered the NHRA Finals seeking his second win of the season. He opened 2025 with a runner-up finish at the NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway and added another runner-up finish a few races later at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway. Capps went on to win the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway, then raced to another final round at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways. In the six-race Countdown to the Championship playoffs, Capps notched his fourth runner-up finish of the season at the Texas NHRA FallNationals at the Texas Motorplex.
Off-track highlights for Capps included the spring announcement that Ron Capps Motorsports will expand into a two-car team in 2026, adding a Top Fuel dragster driven by Top Alcohol Funny Car star Maddi Gordon. At the recent SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Capps and Gordon announced that Carlyle Tools will serve as the primary sponsor for Gordon’s rookie season in Top Fuel.
Capps and crew chief Dean ‘Guido’ Antonelli were prepared to fight challenging weather conditions and a stacked Funny Car field at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, but rain storms washed away Friday and Saturday’s four planned qualifying sessions, as well as Sunday eliminations.
“It’s an unfortunate situation,” Capps said. “Every time you get to Pomona, a championship is all you think about. We always feel like we have a championship team and we strive for that. With that being said, it was another great year. We won Bristol and we finished in the Top 5 again. There’s a lot of exciting things coming up with adding the Carlyle Tools Top Fuel car with Maddi. We always wait for the banquet, and then you can start focusing on next year, and that’s what we’re going to do. It’s unfortunate we didn’t get to make runs in front of our Pomona crowd and all the fans, but we’ll be back here in April.”
Capps and his team will reflect on their 2025 season at the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Awards Ceremony on Monday, Nov. 17, at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif.
Final Points Standing / Total: No. 4 / 2,370 pts.
