A midweek edition of Thursday Thunder brought another night of heated competition to EchoPark Speedway as Round 6 unfolded just days after an action-packed Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart race weekend. With first-time winners making headlines and veteran racers continuing their hot streaks, the season's midpoint delivered plenty of excitement.

Going into Wednesday’s feature race, Canton native James Behnke was looking to remain undefeated in the Incentive Risk Management Bandits division. Unfortunately, after having issues with his car early in the feature, he was forced to retire. Evan Johnson (Vancleave, Miss.) realized the opportunity in front of him and seized it. After several late restarts, the driver from Mississippi found himself at the front of the field and made a slick pass for the lead with seven laps remaining. Johnson rode that momentum all the way to victory lane, holding off a late push from the field to secure his first win of the season.  

Later in the night, Jensen Jorgensen (Stockbridge, Ga.) continued his flawless run in The Associates Group Pro division by claiming his fifth straight victory and maintaining a perfect 2025 season. Win number five came with a bit more drama than the previous four, as Jorgensen was forced to reclaim the lead from Kyle Bacon (Buchanan, Ga.) multiple times within the final 10 laps.

In the Circle C Auto Sales Masters division, Eric Simpson (Fitzgerald, Ga.) added another trophy to his collection with a tight but determined performance for his second win of the season.

Carson Sherman (Loganville, Ga.) kept his momentum rolling in the Incentive Risk Management Outlaws division fending off Cauble, Carson (Salisbury, NC) late in the feature to claim his spot in victory lane.

Other drivers earning their first wins of the 2025 season include Camden Powers (Hernando, Fla.) in the Incentive Risk Management Rookie Bandoleros Racing Experience, Adrenalin Powersports Young Lions driver Lane Christensen (Pendergrass, Ga.), Bryce Sanders (Ola, Ga.) in the WJP Investments Semi-Pro feature, and Sebastian Rist (Crownsville, Md.) in the WJP Investments Chargers Racing Experience.

Racing resumes next week as the Thursday Thunder season moves into its second half at EchoPark Speedway.
