Hillier Has Huge Night at Skagit Speedway

5/30/26

Alger, WA - It was an epic night for Levi Hillier and Rudeen Racing at Skagit Speedway as the 16 year old won both Sprint Car main events on the night, culminating with his first career 410 Sprint Car win in the night’s finale. 

First up was the Exclusive Quality Customs 360 Sprint Car main event, which took multiple tries to get up and running as the field endured four red flags before completing two laps. Once the race got up and jamming, Hillier jumped out to the lead and a rhythm around the high side of the track that he used to build an insurmountable advantage en route to his first win of the season and second of his 360 career at Skagit Speedway. Colton Heath was second and Jesse Schlotfeldt took third. Trey Starks was the fastest qualifier while Schltofeldt, Hillier and Bubba Decaires won heat races.

Next up for Levi was the Hill’s Meat Company 410 Sprint Cars where he’d start on the front row in search of taking home his first 410 win. Like the 360 main, Levi found a comfortable lane around the top of the raceway that he’d use most of the race in keeping a comfortable distance between his competition en route to the big win. Trey Starks closed late in traffic but never got within striking distance in settling for second place while Jesse Schlotfeldt collected third for the second time on the night. Starks set quick time. Heat wins went to Hillier and Devon Borden. 

The NW Focus Midget main event was dominated by defending track champion Shane Smith, who found a fast line around the middle of the race track and led laps 5-25 on his way to his first feature win of the season. The battle for second place was wild, with five drivers all making a bid for the podium in the last few laps, eventually sorting out with Ryan Orchard in the runner up spot and Tristin Thomas on the final podium step. Orchard was quick time. Smith won the first heat race with Thomas winning heat two.
