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]

Lamberies rules Shawano IMCA Modified main

By Joe Orsini SHAWANO, Wis. (May 27, 2023) – Former track champion Lucas Lamberies reigned in Saturday’s Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Shawano Speedway. The main event saw ageless wonder Jerry Muenster start on the pole. When the green dropped, though, outside polesitter Nicholas Holtger launched into the early lead while Jeremie Hedrick put his familiar C19 machine into the runner-up spot. That lead duo set the pace for the first nine laps until caution flew, restacking the field. The ensuing restart had Holtger lead Hedrick, Jordan Bartz, Lamberies and Marcus Yarie back to racing speeds. Lamberies and Bartz wasted no time and worked to the front, where they traded the top spot back and forth with each driver having to run low or high in the door-to-door scrap. Lamberies eventually locked up sole possession of the lead and held on when the double checkers flew. Bartz settled for a hard-fought second, Yarie claimed third and Konner Wilinski charged from ninth on the starting grid to round out the top four. Travis Van Straten proved to still [Read More]

By Scott Owen SHAWANO, Wis. (July 13) – Halloween at the Half Mile had no tricks, just treats for Travis Van Streten, Konnor Wilinski and Jordan Bartz.

Hibdon Holds Off Laney for First Modified Super Nationals Title

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 12, 2026) — Kollin Hibdon controlled the early stages, withstood a serious challenge from Cody Laney, and pulled away late to capture his first Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified championship during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s at Boone Speedway, collecting $10,000 for the victory. The 40-lap Big Dance began three-wide, with Hibdon jumping to the lead on the opening circuit. Last year’s Harris Clash winner and the 2026 IMCA TV Clash on the Coast champion Ethan Braaksma stayed close in second, but Hibdon, the defending Marshalltown Speedway track champion, kept him at bay before the first caution came out on lap five. Hibdon rocketed away on the restart as Izac Mallicoat began stalking the leader along the bottom. Hibdon was able to create some separation before another caution on lap eight. Mallicoat again found speed on the bottom following the restart, but Hibdon was just a little better up top and maintained control. Cody Laney moved into second on lap 12 aboard the Janssen Fabrication-owned No. 5L. [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 12, 2026) — Boone, Iowa’s Jake McBirnie made his move with six laps remaining and drove away to become just the third driver in Sunoco IMCA Stock Car history to win back-to-back championships during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s at Boone Speedway, collecting $8,000 for the victory.

Olson won the race to the line to lead the opening circuit before a caution came out. Texan Cameron Starry bolted into the lead out of turn two on the restart.
