Block is best in IMCA Modified main at Shawano

Wyatt-Block,-IMCA-Modified — Wyatt Block bested a veteran IMCA Modified field for his career first win in the division Saturday at Shawano Speedway.

By Scott Owen

SHAWANO, Wis. (May 19) – Rookie Wyatt Block won his first career IMCA Modified feature Saturday at Shawano Speedway.

Trevor Spaulding pulled to the early lead with Eddie Muenster in tow. As those two paced the field, Block began to work through the field after starting the race in 10th. By the time Block passed Muenster for second near the midpoint of the race, Spaulding had built up a sizeable advantage.

Block continued to reel in Spaulding, though, before a caution after lap 13 bunched the field back up.

Block took advantage and grabbed the lead with an inside pass for the lead on lap 15, then never looked back in scoring his first IMCA Modified win. Spaulding finished second. Lance Arneson was the hard charger as he moved from 17^th starting to finish third.

Jeremy Christians notched another IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win, his first of the 2018 season, while Lucas Lamberies remained unbeaten in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods as he won his third feature in a row.

Mullen captures third straight on Bob Bennett Memorial Night

By Dave Buss SHAWANO, Wis. (May 1) – On Saturday night, Shawano Speedway celebrated its Night of Champions, honoring the 2020 championship class. Webster’s Dictionary defines a champion as ‘someone who fights or speaks publicly in support of a person, belief, cause.’ Before the races, another champion’s life was honored as Bobby Bennett was remembered. Although Bennett never won a track championship at Shawano, it was only appropriate to honor his life on the Night of Champions. The IMCA Modifieds took to the track to open the features with Mike Mullen trying to extend his season-opening win streak to three. Kevin Feck looked to be the man to end the streak early on as he led the opening five laps. Further back in the pack, Andy Karl and Marcus Yarie, along with Jerry and Konnor Wilinski were waging a spirited battle with three-wide racing and competing slide jobs. Meanwhile, Mullen was dicing his way forward and with a power move grabbed second on lap six. Riding his momentum, Mullen took his spot at the lead [Read More]

Wilinski, Forstner, Schmidt are IMCA winners at Shawano

SHAWANO, Wis. (Aug. 8) – The 2019 Shawano Speedway track champions were honored Saturday as part of the Night of Champions. The action on the track that evening saw the 2020 points battle heat up while heading towards the season’s end. In the IMCA Modified feature, Shawn Frelich and Jesse Peebles led the field to the line. Peebles grabbed the early advantage while Konnor Wilinski began his move forward after starting eighth. Wilinski captured the top spot a few laps later. Wilinski began to pull away as Marcus Yarie and Lance Arneson gave chase. As the top three worked themselves free of the pack, Lucas Lamberies was slicing his way through the field. Wilinski proved up to the challenge, grabbing the feature win with Yarie finishing second. It only took Chucky Forstner a couple laps to take the top spot in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature. Gary Kasperek applied the pressure on Forstner for the first half of the feature which went caution free. Jeremy Christians and Trent Nolan would battle it out for [Read More]

Arneson treats himself to Shawano checkers

By Scott Owen SHAWANO, Wis. (July 14) – Lance Arneson secured his first IMCA Modified win of the year with a last-lap pass of Wyatt Block when Shawano Speedway celebrated Halloween at the Half Mile on Saturday night. Ageless Jerry Muenster led lap one before his son Eddie made an outside pass to take the top spot. Block raced past Jerry for second by lap five and set his sights squarely on Eddie. Block got underneath Eddie on lap eight to take the lead. Arneson was moving quickly toward the front and as Block took the white flag, Arneson went to the high line and found an advantage. The pair raced door-to-door through turns three and four. Arneson pulled ahead as they approached the checkered flag to score his first win of the year. Eddie Muenster, Marcus Yarie and Jason Czarapata completed the top five. Trent Nolan raced to his fourth consecutive IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature win while Lucas Lamberies notched Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod win number five. Racing continues next Saturday night with the [Read More]

Mullen is King of the Creek at 141 Speedway

By Greg Aregoni FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (July 17, 2025) –– Mike Mullen earned his third career Appleton Camping Center King of the Creek crown with the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars at 141 Speedway on Thursday night. The victory was worth a cool $10,000 payday and marked his eighth EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of the season, three of which have come at 141. Mullen earned the pole for the feature by virtue of his preliminary win two nights prior, where he charged from 10th to first. He capitalized on strong starts throughout the main event to build an early advantage over Benji LaCrosse and company. LaCrosse gradually chipped away at that lead over the course of the first 30 laps. Mullen was dominant even as he encountered lapped traffic, but an incident with Marcus Yarie—who spun after contact with the leader—brought out a caution. On the restart, Mullen once again proved his prowess, executing restarts with the same precision his father, Brian Mullen, once taught him. LaCrosse tried a variety of lines but could never [Read More]
