Teske Triumphs in SportMod Thriller at Shawano Opener

By Dave Buss SHAWANO, Wis. (May 3, 2025) — The Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods kicked off feature action with one of the night’s most intense races at Shawano Speedway, where a steady Friday night rain had soaked the infield and left a heavy layer of clay on the legendary half-mile. Thanks to diligent work from the track crew throughout Saturday, the surface was race-ready by nightfall—and Jeffery Teske was ready to capitalize. Teske surged into the lead on lap 2, getting around Michael Springborn early and building a comfortable cushion. That advantage would be tested late as Cole Magnin carved his way into contention, but each time he prepared to make a move, lapped traffic slowed his momentum. Teske held strong through the pressure to secure his first win of the season. Magnin finished second, followed by J.J.

Dolan Dices Through Lapped Traffic at Port Royal for First Win

By Stephanie Dodson PORT ROYAL, Pa. (June 13, 2026) — Chris Dolan’s steady climb through the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series ranks reached a milestone Saturday night as the York driver led all 20 laps of the Penns Valley Meat Market feature at Port Royal Speedway to earn his first career RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car victory. Dolan started from the pole aboard the Jon Williams-owned No. 89D and immediately established himself as the driver to beat. Colton Hendershot settled into second and remained in pursuit for most of the race, with the pair running first and second through the opening 18 circuits. Lapped traffic briefly tightened the battle as Hendershot closed to within half a second of the leader. Once Dolan worked his way through the slower cars, however, he quickly rebuilt his advantage and at one point stretched the margin to more than three seconds. The race’s lone caution came on lap 17 when Josh Spicer, who had advanced from 15th into seventh, spun in turns three and four and collected Zach Rhodes. Both [Read More]
