Nick Hoffman
Fifth-place finish in Gateway Dirt Nationals
The final stop on Nick Hoffman’s 2025 slate brought the Belleville, Illinois, native—and current North Carolina transplant—to St. Louis, Missouri’s The Dome at America’s Center for the ninth annual Kubota Gateway Dirt Nationals.
With his preliminary night scheduled for Thursday, Hoffman charged into his $10,000-to-win prelim with an impressive 10th-to-2nd performance in his heat race. He later advanced two additional positions aboard the Tye Twarog Motorsports No. 9H to secure a fifth-place finish.
Relegated to a Saturday qualifier, Hoffman punched his ticket into the weekend finale with a convincing 10-lap victory. In the $70,000-to-win main event, he mirrored Thursday’s result, advancing four spots to round out the top five. He crossed the stripe behind Bobby Pierce, Ricky Thornton Jr., Brandon Sheppard, and Jason Feger.
