2025 Official Tournament Results

On Thursday, March 20th, the 23rd Annual Racers’ Invitational Fishing Tournament, sponsored by El Bandito Tequila, unfolded at the Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in Islamorada, situated in the captivating Florida Keys. NASCAR sponsors, inspectors, crew members, and industry professionals gathered for an exciting Backcountry Classic, this year’s tournament was earlier in the NASCAR season. This was no disappointment since the fishing was prime time. Additionally, there was traveling drama due to the everglade wildfires shutting down the highway in and out of the keys. The Decal Source from McLeansville played host to the Guide Meeting on Wednesday and the Awards Party on Thursday, providing a platform for anglers to share stories of a fantastic day of fishing on the waters of Florida Bay.

The Tournament Director, Drew Patey, presented distinctive commemorative trophies.
