Ebeling Sweeps in Attrition and Event-Filled Quantum Leap Kingsport Twin Races in Remembrance of Mike Potter

Kingsport, Tennessee (April 21, 2025) – The Super Cup Stock Car Series kicked off its 2025 campaign on Friday night with a return to Kingsport Speedway for the first time in nearly six years.  It turned out to be a rollercoaster of emotions for many with a familiar face remaining undefeated at the “Concrete Jungle” in the end.

The event’s festivities overall, sponsored by Quantum Leap Trampoline Sports Park in downtown Johnson City, honored and remembered past SCSCS racer Mike Potter, who passed away in October 2022.  The restored Chevrolet Lumina he once drove on the high-banks at Daytona International Speedway was on hand thanks to series official Mike Blevins, and past Late Model Stock Car team owner of Potter’s, Paul Thorne, drove the ride during opening ceremonies and pace laps.

The start of the day was good news for those new to the series as local favorite Lexi Arnold paced both official practice sessions and then captured the Pole Award in her debut, eclipsing the SCSCS track record previously set by Potter in 2018 by three-thousandths of a second.  The evening’s attrition woes began early on with 2024 rookie of the year, Yellow Spring, West Virginia’s Larry Frame, having the front brake locking up immediately before going out to qualify, ultimately ending his night before it really even started.

Brent Nelson and Family Team Finally Overcome Years of Gremlins to Be Named Super Cup Stock Car Series Champion

Statesville, North Carolina (October 15, 2024) – Seven times in the past 10 seasons, Brent Nelson finished second or third in the final overall Super Cup Stock Car Series point standings.  He led the way on multiple occasions during the beginning or middle stages of various years, having accumulated statistics that now top the all-time leaderboard in numerous different categories.  Despite their best endeavors preparing in the Petersburg, West Virginia shop during offseason months and between races, something always unexpectedly got in the Nelson Motorsports team’s way at some point.

That is, until 2024.  Nelson completed every single one of the possible laps, leading more than 80 percent of them, and winning five times which matched his total from 2023.  It was more than enough to hoist the long-awaited championship trophy during the annual season-ending Awards Presentation that took place following racing festivities at Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park in Coeburn, Virginia.

Brent Nelson Fends Off Challenges to Score Elusive Lonesome Pine Victories and First SCSCS Title

Coeburn, Virginia (October 6, 2024) – One week after originally planned, the Super Cup Stock Car Series visited Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park to close out the 2024 season.  New faces were going to be in the 3/8-mile banked oval victory lane by night’s end as no former race winners at the Coeburn, Virginia facility, or former series champions for that matter, were in attendance.

Brent Nelson, riding in on a three-race winning streak, started on the right foot claiming his second consecutive Pole Award with a best time of 17.669 seconds.  From the drop of the initial green flag all the way to the final checkered flag of the evening, it would be no easy feat by any means to come away with success for the Petersburg, West Virginia driver.

Nelson’s closest championship contender Bill Ashton started second and was all over the back and on occasions peeked alongside in the turns for the top spot over the entire distance.  When it was all said and done, Nelson had barely remained in command for his fourth victory of 2024 and first at Lonesome Pine in his seventh try.
