JEFFERSON, S.D. (June 25) – Two drivers broke into victory lane for the first time this season Sunday at Raceway Park.

In the Casey’s General Stores IMCA Stock Car feature, Todd Gereau took control at the front of the field after a mid-race pileup in the first turn involving six cars shook up the field. In the final laps, Gereau came under heavy pressure from multi-time champion track Jason Ward but kept control of the inside line to take the win.

The Total Motors IMCA Modified feature saw Jim Thies take his first win of the year in a near flag-to-flag performance.

The Golden Auto Sales IMCA Hobby Stocks had another big field of cars, with action coming right down to the checkered flag.

Aaron Shearn, David Miller and Andy Hoffman had battled for the top spot over much of the feature with Miller making one last attempt to get under Shearn on the final turn, only to spin and drop outside the top 10 as Shearn raced under the checkered flag.

The KCAU9 IMCA Northern SportMod feature was all Todd Boulware, who took an unchallenged win.
