Hobbytown Hobbyplex in Omaha, Nebraska, played host to the JConcepts Late-Summer Dirt Indoor Nationals over the weekend where once again it was Schumacher’s Broc Champlin who again did the double. The 15th season of the JConcepts Indoor National Series, Champlin was the big winner at the previous encounter, the Mid-Summer Carpet Indoor Nationals held at Island Speedway in Iowa, and carried that form across to the dirt for the penultimate INS15 encounter. Securing the TQ for both 2WD and 4WD Modified Buggy ahead of Team Associated’s Aydin Horne, with whom he shared buggy wins at the season opening Winter Dirt Indoor Nationals at Trackside Hobbies in Wisconsin back in February, Champlin managed to wrap up both overall wins in A2. In 2WD Horne would win A3 ahead of 3rd place qualifier Davey Batta, a result that would see the Team Associated pairing completed the overall podium. In 4WD, the No.5 Xray of Brennan Schimmel took the win ahead of Horne to knock team-mate & 3rd place qualifier Chase Lemieux off the podium behind Champlin and Horne. The 2025 INS concludes with the Indoor Nationals Finals on October 17-19 at Hoosier RC Hobbyplex in New Albany, Indiana.
