By Scott Owen

SHAWANO, Wis. (June 9) – Marcus Yarie and Kyle Raddant made return trips to the winner’s circle at Shawano Speedway following IMCA Modified and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod main events, respectively.

Chucky Forstner and Jerry Muenster battled for the lead on the opening lap of the Modified main. Forstner held the lead until lap 10 when rookie Brekken Kleinschmidt took to the outside of the track and grabbed the front spot.

Yarie followed Kleinschmidt around Forstner into second, then powered his way past Kleinschmidt for the lead on the following lap. Wyatt Block soon passed Kleinschmidt to grab second. In the end it was Yarie for the win, chased by Block, Kleinschmidt, Lance Arneson, and Jerry Wilinski.

Kaden Besaw led the opening lap of the Northern SportMod feature before giving way to Raddant, who then took to the high line of the track and looked to ride off into the sunset.

Behind Raddant, Bryce Clements, Cole Magnin and Lucas Lamberies jockeyed for position. Magnin’s night ended though after getting into the outside wall. Lamberies raced to second but was never able to offer a serious challenge for the lead; 17^th starting Jason Jach finished third, Kevin Bethke fourth and Jordan Bartz fifth.

Travis Van Straten scored his second straight and third overall IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win.

Christians best in Shawano barnburner

By Dave Buss SHAWANO, Wis. (June 22) – Some on social media were calling Saturday’s IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature at Shawano Speedway one of the best they have seen. Winner Jeremy Christians wouldn’t disagree. Rod Snellenberger took command of the race in the first few laps but was soon joined by Dan Michonski and Eric Arneson as Christians fought through traffic. With multiple four-wide battles behind him Snellenberger, seemed to be on his way to the win. Michonski, Arneson, Christians and Mike Schmidt, however, had other plans. The four quickly closed to the back bumper of Snellenberger. Michonski ran the high side with the others working the low side. Lap after lap, positions were swapped between the challengers with Snellenberger maintaining a slight lead. On lap 19, slight contact between Christians and Snellenberger caused a tire to begin going down on Snellenberger’s ride. Christians pounced on the opportunity and in a drag race down the front stretch edged out Michonski. Snellenberger held onto third with Schmidt fourth. Marcus Yarie was the IMCA Modified winner [Read More]

Sierra Davenport: Making History With a Family Number

By Ben Deatherage BISMARCK, N.D. — Nothing about Sierra Davenport’s night at Dacotah Speedway on June 26 suggested history was about to be made. The 17-year-old had started near the front of her heat race and gone backward. Way backward. “I struggled really bad in the heat race,” Davenport said. “I think I started second and finished pretty much last.” Back in the pits, Davenport and her team went to work. A few adjustments were made to her No. 51S Sunoco IMCA Stock Car before the feature. Then everything changed. Davenport found the speed that had been missing earlier in the evening and drove to the first IMCA Stock Car feature victory of her young career. In doing so, the Bismarck teenager became the first female driver from North Dakota to win an IMCA Stock Car feature. “It felt really good to finally get that win,” she said. “I made a couple of adjustments for the feature, and it worked out great.” The accomplishment came in only Davenport’s second season racing a full-sized car. But racing [Read More]
