ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 23) – Cory Probst raced his way into the history book on a historical Saturday night at Arlington Raceway.

Probst won for the 100th time in his IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock career, after starting 10th and racing into contention by just the fourth circuit.

Karl Hewitt had the lead ahead of Steve Kroyer – driving Probst’s 2017 car – but pulled in on the backstretch with mechanical problems. By the next lap, Probst weaved around Kroyer and had command of the race.

He led the rest of the way for the milestone win. Kroyer held tight for second and Jed Trebelhorn took third.

Probst became the 100th driver in IMCA’s modern era to reach the 100 win mark and the record fifth to do so at Arlington.

Arlington was also the site of 100th wins by Curt Lund (Modified) in 2013, Jeff McCollum (Stock Car) in 2014, Dan Mackenthun (Stock Car) in 2015 and Justin Luinenburg (Hobby Stock) last year.

Other feature winners Saturday at Arlington were Brandon Beckendorf in the MN 93 IMCA Modifieds, Neil Stevens in the 95.7 the Rock IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars, Brent Uecker in the B&B Racing Chassis IMCA Stock Cars, Matt Looft in the Unhinged Pizza IMCA Northern SportMods and Austin Friedrich in the Coors Light IMCA Sport Compacts.

ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 11, 2022) – Saturday’s IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car feature at Arlington Raceway went flag to flag with Bill Johnson leading from his pole position and finding himself the winner after having motor troubles the first night of the season which sidelined him for a few weeks.  Mike Stien, who started ninth, moved through the field and took second ahead of Brandon Buysse.  Cory Probst is on a mission this year as he has won every IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature thus far at Arlington.

Third time is a (rainless) charm at Arlington

ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 29, 2024) – After a two week hiatus in events due to rain, Arlington Raceway managed to get an event in even though an inch and a half of rain fell the night before. Drivers were eager to get back to the track and compete and Bode Collision & Glass and K&R Towing put up an extra $100 to each feature winner so every feature was pretty intense. The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks saw two different leaders. Jonathan Schroeder was the early leader but a yellow was thrown for Mac Tollefson on lap seven when he lost a tire and landed in the infield pond area. The following lap after the restart, Schroeder had troubles which sent him to the work area and later the pit, ending his night. That gave both Brett McConnell and Cory Probst an opportunity to gain positions on the restart. McConnell had the edge but he, too, ended up in the pit while Probst went on to lead the remainder of the race. Jordan Robinson had a [Read More]
