Moyer scores IMCA Modified opener at Farley

By Jerry Mackey

FARLEY, Iowa (April 27) – The 2018 racing season got underway Friday night at the “Palace of Speed”, Farley Speedway in Farley, Iowa. A hearty crowd attended the opening night action on a very blustery chilly late April evening.

Austin Moyer shot to the front early in the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature from his second row start. Moyer drove the Boyse race team 1M ride to a convincing win ahead of Zach Less and Joel Callahan.

Austin Heacock drove his no. 22 Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod to the win in the 18-lap main event. Heacock held off the strong running Justin Becker in getting to the finish line first. Cory VanZante took third at the stripe.

A solid field of IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars took the green flag in their 12 lap feature. Cole Mather advanced from the seventh starting position in scoring the win ahead of Scooter Dulin.

Friday night, May 4 will be a very special night of racing as Farley Speedway will honor Harry Bauer, father of SportMod driver Troy Bauer. The Harry Bauer Memorial will get underway with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Noah Speicher: Racing the Plains, Building a Legacy

By Ben Deatherage FORT MORGAN, Colo. (May 19, 2025) — Nestled in the plains of northeastern Colorado, Fort Morgan has long been a place where resilience and reinvention go hand in hand. The fort was established in 1864, and at one point it was manned by Confederate prisoners of war, known as “galvanized rebels,” who chose to enlist in the Union Army rather than remain as POWs. Today, that spirit of grit and determination lives on in the town’s racing community—especially in 14-year-old Noah Speicher. Born into a racing family, Speicher was practically raised on the dirt of I-76. His family owns and operates the track, an elbows-up bullring where cars jostle for every inch of real estate. It’s a place where Speicher has spent countless hours—first as a fan watching his father, Beau Speicher, wheel an IMCA Modified, and now as a racer himself. And Beau still occasionally straps in for a race, reminding Noah that he’s not the only Speicher looking to make some noise. On May 3rd, Speicher added a new chapter to [Read More]

Sproul Wins Modified Thriller At WaKeeney

By Sheldon Wickwar WaKEENEY, Kan. (May 17, 2025) — WaKeeney Speedway brought the curtain down on the John Fose Memorial/Wall of Fame Weekend with a Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature that lived up to the occasion. Jeremy Frenier took command early, storming to the lead as the field settled in behind him. But Daniel Gottschalk soon reeled him in, making the pass after a few circuits to take over the top spot. As the race reached the midway point, a four-car shootout began to take shape with Gottschalk, Frenier, Kyle Rohleder, and Dakota Sproul all in the mix. Gottschalk’s time out front was cut short when Rohleder powered to the lead, but Sproul was just hitting his stride. Methodically working the track, Sproul closed in and made a dramatic last lap pass on Rohleder to secure his second Jet Racing Central Region victory of the season. Rohleder settled for second with Frenier rounding out the podium. Walt Steals the Spotlight in SportMod Thriller The Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMod feature at WaKeeney Speedway was packed with drama [Read More]

Electrifying Charge to Front Nets Price BAPS Win

By Frank Buhrman YORK HAVEN, Pa. (May 18, 2025) — It wasn’t an easy climb, but Sunday night at BAPS Motor Speedway, Landon Price reached the top of the mountain again and enjoyed the view. Four years and nine months after he last visited victory lane in a River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature, Price returned Sunday, after an electrifying charge through the field from 11th starting position. That performance also earned the Fleetwood driver the hard charger award. After advancing from seventh to third in his heat race, the Price team’s pill-draw skills didn’t improve, and he picked 11th out of the 12 redraw starting spots, but when the race started, it quickly became obvious that something special was happening with the no. 69P team. Within five laps, Price had raced his way into the top five. From there, each pass came quickly as he sliced through the field. He caught leader Dustin Young on lap 17 and, after a brief side-by-side battle, took over the top spot with two laps remaining. He went on to [Read More]
