ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 2) – There were new winners in victory lane for the UFC Sibley County Fair races Saturday night at Arlington Raceway.

Dan Menk won his first feature of the year in the MN 93 IMCA Modified class by taking over the lead on the 13th lap from Billy Johnson. Johnson led at the start, but settled for third at the stripe. Tyler Limoges was closing the gap late on Menk, but ran out of time and took second.

Kyren Porter won her first feature of the year in the Coors Light IMCA Sport Compact division by leading the entire distance in that event. Eric Ladner worked from an eighth place start but was unable to reel in Porter and settled for second. Nate Coopman rallied from an early spin to finish third.

Newcomer Justin Luinenburg started 12th in the 22-car field in the Eckblad Trucking IMCA Hobby Stocks and took the lead lap seven. Another newcomer, Cory Probst, was also in the mix as he moved up from his 12th place start to challenge the leader.

In the end, Luininburg took the win with Probst in second. Brian Loscheider had his best run of the season with a third place finish.

Jeremy Brown started ninth in the Unhinged Pizza IMCA SportMod feature and took over the lead on the ninth lap from Travis Schurmann. Brown went on to earn his first career win in the division. Matt Looft challenged, but finished second ahead of Adam Voss.

Jordan Wilmes only had one previous night in his 95.7 IMCA Sprint Car and was in victory lane after leading that race from start to finish. Brett Allen followed him the entire distance to take second. Ron Guentzel, who started ninth, finished third.

In the Annihilator IMCA Stock Car feature, there were four different leaders with Dean Cornelius taking the top spot for the first two laps. Chuck Winters got around him and led for the next five laps before the red flag halted action when Jeff Holstein rolled his car in turn three.
