Yonkers: Bartlett reaches 12,000 career driving wins

Jason Bartlett became just the 11th North American driver to have 12,000 career victories after he captured the eighth race on Tuesday night (May 12) at MGM Yonkers Raceway with Heaven On High N.

Bartlett came into the program needing two wins to get to 12,000 and took the third race with Rob Harmon-trained Mind Hunter in 1:54 to set the stage for the milestone with Heaven On High N, a Ricky Bucci trainee, in 1:54 1/5.

The defending Dan Patch Driver of the Year, Bartlett is the perennial leader in the standings at Yonkers and is well on his way to another local title in 2026 as he is over 100 wins clear of second-place Brent Holland at this point.
