SHAWANO, Wis. (Aug. 18) – Justin Ritchie has won a number of features at Shawano Speed­way, but the former late model track champion scored his first IMCA Modified feature Saturday night.
Cautions plagued the start of the event, but once the race got going Tim Rothe took the lead. Ritchie pursued Rothe until lap three when he made an inside pass to take the lead.
As Ritchie led, the action was hot and heavy behind him as Jason Czarapata, Lance Arneson and Wy­att Block all came from deep in the field to battle for second and third.  In the end it was Ritchie making his way to victory lane followed by Czarapata, Block, Arneson and Konnor Wilin­ski. 
Mitch Stankowski returned to victory lane after some time away from the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car divi­sion. Lucas Lamberies raced to his seventh local Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod victory of the year ahead of Tyler Sobiesczyk, who finished a career-best second.

By Justin Zirngible.  SHAWANO, Wis. (May 7, 2022) – Three IMCA drivers raced to season-first wins at Shawano Speedway on Saturday night. The IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars took to the track for the first “A” main of the night and The Class Too Tough To Tame did not disappoint. The father-son duo of Vern and Dylan Stedjee started on the front row for the 20-lap main event. Vern Stedjee got the jump on the start and led the first 15 circuits.
