Get to Know Chase Wiggins

Chase Wiggins had his breakout season in 2025, the son of 1999 Lorain County Speedway Late Model Champion Jeremie Wiggins. Chase got his feet wet in racing during 2024 and went right to the top in 2025. Winning is in the Wiggins DNA, and Chase carried on that tradition in 2025, winning the Sandusky-Lorain Grand National Championship, as well as both tracks’ championships. The field was chasing Chase more often than not as the #22 was in Victory Lane more than any other driver in 2025.
