Story By: LEN SAMMONS PRODUCTIONS – ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – Scott Kreutter, Mike Perry and Paulie Hartwig all came away victorious in their respective classes Saturday night inside the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall as part of NAPA Auto Parts Atlantic City Gambler’s Classic race weekend.

Kreutter, of Cowelsville, NY, took advantage of some early misfortune from Tom Fraschetta to inherit the lead before withstanding late-race pressure from Kyle Lick to take home the 20-lap Dirt 600 Micro feature.

Perry, of Dighton, Mass., put on a dominating display of driving in the 20-lap Champ Kart by charging to the front early and rocketing away all the way to the checkered flag. Missy Bootes came across the line in second to become the Indoor Auto Racing Series 2025 season champion.

13-year-old Hartwig, of Galloway Township, NJ, looked like a 30-year veteran in the 20-lap Slingshot feature as he wrestled the lead away at the start and made his drive out front look effortless by gapping the field by more than two seconds. As a result of the victory, Hartwig was named the 2025 Indoor Auto Racing Series season champion.

Although the Indoor Auto Racing Series ‘Concrete Series’ is finished, race fans still have one more event to look forward to as Dirt 600 Micro racing’s best will sling mud around the CURE Insurance Arena Feb. 21 and 22 for the East Coast Indoor Dirt Nationals. Tickets for both nights can be purchased on Ticketmaster.
