Parmeley prevails at Canyon

By Tony Steele

PEORIA, Ariz. (April 1) – John Parmeley pulled off the sweep in the Leading Edge IMCA Modifieds Saturday at Canyon Speedway Park, winning his heat race before driving from his sixth starting spot to take the feature win.

Parmeley declared himself as the car to beat early on, making his way around leader K.C. Dieckman and driving away from the field. Parmeley held the large advantage through numerous cautions until Jason Noll found himself behind the leader on a restart.

Parmeley and Noll escaped the fray with only a handful of laps to go to battle it out for the win. Noll made the first mistake coming to the white flag, allowing Parmeley to get away with the win. Noll held on for second with Zachary Madrid, Chaz Baca Jr. and Bubba Stafford rounding out the top five.

Speedy Madrid wound up with the Arizona Differential IMCA Northern SportMod victory after the apparent winner failed post-race tech.

Repeat winners are Saturday story at Canyon

By Tony Steele PEORIA, Ariz. (March 17) – Repeat winners were the story Saturday at Canyon Speedway Park. Jason Noll wasted no time following a Leading Edge IMCA Modified restart and made what proved to be the race-winning pass of Ryan Roath to the inside when the green flag flew. Chaz Baca had a strong run going until a misstep allowed Joey Moriarity to get by to the inside, putting both MRT Racecar teammates on the podium. For the first time in almost a full year the race fans at Canyon were treated to a full Allscapes IMCA Stock Car battle between Cody Center and George Fronsman. It seems between the two it’s been one of them having some type of mechanical problem over the last six or so races. At last, both cars held up to full strength and the fight raged on. Much of the race was led by Fronsman on the low side while Center continued to chip away on the cushion. Center finally got the run he needed to get by Fronsman [Read More]

Czarneski Snaps Berry’s Streak with Win at Jamestown; Berry Claims Third Dakota Tour Crown

By Ben Deatherage JAMESTOWN, N.D. (July 10, 2026) — Cole Czarneski denied Tom Berry Jr. a perfect Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric, leading all 30 laps Friday night at Jamestown Speedway to earn his first career Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified tour victory. While Berry settled for second after winning the previous four rounds, the Marshalltown, Iowa, driver wrapped up his third career Dakota Tour championship after another dominant week. The 2024 Wisconsin State champion from Denmark, Wisconsin, jumped to the lead at the drop of the green and immediately established himself as the driver to beat. A caution on lap six erased his early advantage, but Czarneski quickly rebuilt his lead after the restart. Berry, the two-time Dakota Tour champion and 2020 IMCA Modified national champion, climbed into second on lap eight and spent the remainder of the race trying to reel in the leader. Although Berry stayed within striking distance, Czarneski remained composed, slicing through lapped traffic before another caution on lap 21 erased his comfortable margin. Berry stayed close over the [Read More]
