Mickey Adams Aiming for No Box Bonanza 27 – The Triple $25Ks at Summit Motorsports Park

Norwalk, OH – One wheelie and one win at a time, Mickey Adams has made a name for himself in motorsports.  He and the red 1967 Camaro he has owned for four decades have become fabled over the years, and racers across the country have countless stories about their time in the lane next to them.

Adams, who is currently holding down third-place in Edelbrock Pro in Edelbrock Super Series points at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, is preparing for one of his most anticipated races of the year, the No Box Bonanza 27 — The Triple $25Ks, which is this weekend, Aug. 14-17, 2025 at Summit Motorsports Park and features a $293,075 guaranteed total purse and a maximum of 400 single entries.

The Tecumseh, Michigan-based hotshot has taken part in this bottom-bulb race many times, and he will have his Camaro set up to be consistent with its 555 cubic-inch big-block Chevrolet engine and Powerglide transmission, despite some recent breakage.

“I messed up an axle three weeks ago,” said Adams, who has help on his engine program from his brother-in-law Brian Butler, also known as Shag, and his transmission program from Kenny Langlois. “It happened on the top end of the track. As soon as I went into high gear, I could feel and hear something, and when I looked in my mirror, I saw my tire and axle hanging out about two feet. It was right before the eighth-mile finish line, and I ran 6.01.” Continue reading
