30 Drivers Entered for Reveal the Hammer Season Opener at Berlin Raceway

Marne, MI - Officials with the Reveal the Hammer Outlaw Super Late Model Series have released the entry list for Saturday's season opener at Berlin Raceway. Nearly three dozen drivers are entered for the Tribute to Harley Boeve event, featuring a 61 lap, $7,500 to win main event.

Many of the best names currently racing in Outlaw Super Late Model competition are entered for Saturday's race. 2025 Reveal the Hammer Rookie of the Year, Bryce Bozell, returns to Berlin Raceway for the first time since a pair of 11th-place finishes last season. The 14-year-old came from 25th in July of last year before posting the top 15 finish.

The third-generation driver will have to deal with Pops on Saturday night as well. Phil Bozell will bring his LeClair Racing No.8 back to West Michigan looking to back up his performance from last September when he rolled from the fifth starting spot and held off a hard-charging Steve Needles for the win.

Brian Bergakker has two career wins with the Reveal the Hammer sanction in his 18 starts, and both of those wins came at Berlin Raceway. The Outlaw Super Late Model veteran finished second in two of the three Berlin races in 2025, with an early exit in September.

Three-time and defending Reveal the Hammer Champion, Steve Needles, is eyeing a return to victory lane on Saturday night. The all-time wins list leader grabbed wins in Marne, MI in 2021 and 2022, but has been held out of Berlin Raceway victory lane since then. His closest effort came last September when he charged from 18th to finish behind Bozell.

In 2024, Tyler Roahrig raced four times with the Reveal the Hammer Series four times, winning three of those starts, including a race at Berlin. Last year, Roahrig won 50 percent of the RTH races he entered, including two at Berlin Raceway and the other coming from Russell's M-40 Speedway. Roahrig comes in hot off his sixth career Intimidator 100 win at Kalamazoo Speedway on April 17th.

A host of local talent are dusting off the Outlaw cars this weekend as well. 2025 Berlin Raceway Limited Late Model and Sportsman Track Champion, Josh Frye, is entered for Saturday's race, making his RTH debut. Late Model veteran, Mike Root, is prepared to defend the home turf Saturday night in his 14th RTH start.

The all-time winningest driver at Berlin Raceway is going Outlaw racing on Saturday. Tim DeVos, who made his debut with the Series in 2025, has improved on his finish with each start, going 18th, 7th, and 4th in his three starts last year at Berlin.
