Merrill, MI - On Friday, May 2nd, the Ohio CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP season will begin at Limaland Motorsports Park. When it does, Kobe Allison will look to build off his best career seasons in 2023 and 2024, hoping to culminate a win in 2025. To do so, Allison knows there are areas of his race night that need to improve.
Allison’s stats in 360 Sprint Car racing go back to 2018 with the former National Racing Alliance Sprint Invaiders (NRA) and the Great Lakes Super Sprints. Since that time, his stat lines read like the build-up of a dramatic novel, with each year showing improvement and better finishes. From three top 10 finishes in 2018, to his first top five in 2019, a write-off year in 2020, two top 10 finishes in 2021, back in the top five in 2022, and his best statistical season in 2023 with 12 top 10s and three top five finishes. During arguably the most competitive GLSS season to date in 2024, Allison still racked up five top 10s and a top five finish.
The 2025 season is about taking all they’ve learned and built and getting to victory lane. The native of Lima, Ohio is committed to the full Ohio CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints schedule, with eyes on select events outside of the Ohio region. This season, the elusive feature win is top of the priority list.
“Man, finally secure an A-Main win,” Allison said of his goals for this year. “We have came so close too many times. We know if we can improve our qualifying efforts and keep the car in one peace, we’ve got a shot. We kick ourselves in the foot with too many poor qualifying efforts and then chase our tail for the rest of the night.”
That first career win isn’t the only thing on Allison’s mind heading into this season. As many drivers will tell you, ‘get the wins and the championship will follow’.
“We have to keep the car in one peace,” Allison remarked again. “This is a long season and to stay in it for a [Championship] title you have to first finish all the A-Mains.”
The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT and ARP season begins on Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th with the USCS Sprints at I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, TN.
