Just because Kyle Cummins possesses a monster point lead in the race for the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship, he’s not intent on making the final month of the season a figurative victory lap.

Instead, the Princeton, Indiana racer simply showcased the same kind of intestinal fortitude that he’s displayed time and time again throughout the 2025 season during Friday night’s second running of the Greg Staab Memorial.

Starting third, Cummins raced into the lead past Chase Stockon on the 13th trip around the 3/8-mile dirt oval, then paced the remaining 18 laps to earn his ninth series victory of the year in his Petty Performance Racing/Avanti Windows & Doors - Premier Recycling/Mach-1/Stanton Chevy.

For Cummins, it was his second USAC triumph at The Burg, and his first since 2022. His 29th career USAC National Sprint Car feature victory moved him past the likes of A.J. Foyt, Don Branson, J.J. Yeley and Levi Jones for sole possession of 20th place on the series’ all-time win list.

Furthermore, Cummins ran up his point lead to 356 markers with five events remaining on the schedule. The largest championship point margin between first and second in the history of USAC National Sprint Car racing is 369, set by Pancho Carter over Tom Bigelow back in 1976. Now, ever since he ended a three-month lull without a USAC victory, Cummins has won two of his last three starts and shows no signs of tightening up in crunch time.

“We struggled there at midseason and it’s kind of turned around now,” Cummins admitted. “October seems to be the month of money, so there’s some big money to win here going into the last handful of races.”
