Trey Osborne captured his first USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship victory at Ocala Speedway, leading all 30 laps in the No. 6t and earning the K&N Filters Clean Air Award. The 23-year-old, in just his 23rd USAC start, began the feature on the pole after a six-car inversion despite timing sixth in qualifying. He was the first driver to record his first USAC national win since Carson Garrett in July 2025; his prior best USAC finish had been eighth at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July 2025. Osborne’s comeback follows a February 2024 crash that fractured multiple vertebrae, plus mechanical failures and a broken quad in 2025.

Osborne finished 0.965 seconds ahead of Chase Stockon; Logan Seavey was third, Kyle Cummins fourth and Jake Swanson fifth. The feature included several incidents: a lap-2 multi-car flip involving Kobe Simpson and Saban Bibent (Simpson was scored 23rd), a lap-22 contact between Osborne and Stockon that briefly sent Osborne’s car airborne, and a late scramble after Gunnar Setser and Jadon Rogers slowed. Osborne’s car emitted smoke from its left headers during the race.

Kyle Cummins was the LearnLab Fast Qualifier with a 14.675 lap time, and Logan Seavey topped the Dirt Draft Hot Laps at 14.887. The Ocala feature served as the opening night of the Ocala portion of Winter Dirt Games XVII on the three-eighths-mile Ocala Speedway oval — the first of four nights at the track and following two nights of competition at Volusia Speedway Park. Logan Seavey left Ocala as the USAC AMSOIL points leader with 223 points; Jake Swanson was second with 213 and Kevin Thomas Jr. third with 198. The series continues at Ocala Speedway Feb. 12–14.
