• ISABELLA ROBUSTO is hungry for redemption at DuQuoin after her disappointing mechanical failure at Springfield ended what had been a stellar 10-race streak of top-10 finishes. The Venturini driver bounced back immediately with fourth at Madison, and she’s got extra motivation knowing she scored her career-best runner-up finish at Springfield last year. She’s sitting just 10 points behind fourth place in standings and has every reason to be confident on the dirt.
• JADE AVEDISIAN finally makes her much-anticipated ARCA debut, and smart money says Venturini picked the perfect race for her first outing. The 18-year-old earned her stripes in dirt midgets before transitioning to asphalt late models, so DuQuoin’s dirt surface should feel like coming home. Having a driver with legitimate dirt credentials join the Venturini stable gives them serious firepower for this race.
• The women are running with a quality field that includes defending race winner Brent Crews, who’s chasing a $20,000 bonus for sweeping both dirt races this season. With only 20 entries—the smallest field of 2025—there’s plenty of opportunity for ROBUSTO and AVEDISIAN to make serious statements and grab some spotlight in a series that’s been dominated by the same handful of names all year.
