AUBURN, Mich. (May 4) – Nobody could keep up with Nate Jones Friday at Tri-City Motor Speedway, as the Main Street Seed and Supply IMCA Modified rookie raced to his first career win in the class.
A former pro stock champion, Jones made what became the winning pass just shy of halfway and dominated the rest of the way.
At the finish, Jones was closely followed by last week’s winner Matt Szecsodi and Chris Cohoon.
By Roger M. Williams AUBURN, Mich. (July 12) – Friday night was the last opportunity for Allstar Performance IMCA Modified drivers to dial in their rides before the big Greased Pig 9.0 special at Tri-City Motor Speedway on July 19. Defending champion Nate Jones has had a tough first half of the season. However, he may have figured out his issues as it took him only five laps to go from ninth place to take the lead from Will Small. Once Jones got to the front, he was long gone from the rest of the field taking the win easily over point leader Matt Szecsodi, Brenten DeYoung, “B” feature winner Kody Johnson and Mitchell Hunt.

Chad Wernette paced the field for the opening pair of laps before Szecsodi took away the top spot. Szecsodi dominated the event with the best racing taking place within the top five positions. Wernette battled IMCA rookie and former pro stock champion Nate Jones, Chris Cohoon and Kody Johnson. Szecsodi took the checkers followed by Jones from 13th, Johnson from 11th, Wernette and Cohoon.
By Roger M. Williams AUBURN, Mich. (April 26) – Inches made the difference between first and second as Matt Szecsodi raced to opening night Allstar Performance IMCA Modified honors at Tri-City Motor Speedway. A field of 20 Modifieds, led by Toby Steele and Todd Matheson, took the green flag for their 20-lap penultimate race of the evening. Matheson took full advantage of his front row starting position to pull ahead of Steele and lead the initial 13 circuits before 2015 champion Myron DeYoung took his turn at the front. He was in the midst of a hard-fought multi-driver duel that included Nate Jones, Szecsodi, Jacob Flickinger and Craig Vance. DeYoung found a rut in turn three that upset the handling of his machine which narrowed the lead battle to between Jones and Szecsodi. The duel would not disappoint as both drivers swapped the lead over the final two laps with Szecsodi stealing the win by inches over Jones at the finish. Behind Jones came Matheson, Vance, and Flickinger.
