Returning Racers and Notable Absences
Among the familiar faces at Brainerd, we have seasoned racers like Reaper and Alex Laughlin, who are ready to prove their mettle on the track.

Alex Laughlin’s New Setup
One of the racers to watch is Alex Laughlin, who has made significant changes to his car. He’s racing with a brand-new PJs 49 Hemi combination, similar to the setup used by the formidable Jim Howe. Laughlin had a challenging start to the season but is determined to make a strong comeback with this new configuration. Fans are eager to see if these changes will give him the edge he needs to climb the ranks.
The Grudge Race Showdown
A highlight of the event is the much-anticipated grudge race between Jim Howe and Murder Nova. Scheduled for the second round of grudge around 5:00-6:00 PM, this race promises to be a nail-biter. Both cars are incredibly fast, backed by highly capable teams. Murder Nova, fresh off a recent win, is currently fourth in points and looking to continue his winning streak. Jim Howe, known for his strategic prowess, will skip the first round of grudge to face Murder Nova directly off the trailer.
Ryan Martin’s Gray Car
Another major contender is Ryan Martin, who will be racing his gray car equipped with a new motor. Despite having his red car ready, Martin has chosen the gray car for this event. Known for his consistent performance, Martin is always a top contender at No Prep Kings events. Fans can expect him to deliver some of the fastest passes of the day, despite less-than-ideal weather conditions with 2700 ft of air density and 80-85 water grains.
