2025 Battle in Bluegrass Results

Weather Can't Stop the War: Holley EFI Battle in Bluegrass Race Recap

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 4, 2025

The 2025 Holley EFI Battle in Bluegrass delivered a wild and weather-adjusted weekend of racing at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. With Friday qualifying rained out, Ultra4 USA made the call to random draw start positions and run both prelims and main events on Friday ahead of the incoming storm.

We want to thank every racer, team, and crew who stayed flexible and made it happen. The track was fast, the battles were intense, and the fans got a full dose of Ultra4 racing action.

4400 Class – Wolff Takes the Win

Paul Wolff returned to the top step of the 4400 podium, piloting his UFO chassis car to the win after a back-and-forth battle. Phillip McGilton, who missed his prelim due to a blown steering line in practice, came charging back with a strong performance in the main, keeping pressure on Wolff to the checkers. Bill McGibbon ran consistently and locked down third.
