Mullen denies Andersen weekend sweep

By Edward Anschutz

SEYMOUR, Wis. (Aug. 19) – J.J. Andersen went into the Sunday night IMCA Modified event at Outagamie Speedway seeking a weekend sweep but Brian Mullen had other ideas.

The winner Friday at Luxemburg Speedway and Saturday at 141 Speedway, Anderson jumped to the early lead and appeared to be well on his way to completing the 3-for-3 weekend. Mullen raced from row four into the runner-up spot on lap five.

With Andersen and Mullen both running the top groove, it looked as if that’s how they would finish but a caution on lap eight changed everything. With Mullen restarting down low, Andersen switched to the bottom of the track and allowed Mullen the preferred line up top.

Mullen took the lead, going unchallenged the remainder of the event for the win. Andersen ended in second. Tyler Wilson, Johnny Whitman and Benji LaCrosse completed the top five.

Brandon Czarapata checked out in winning the caution-free IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature while Jason Ebert was never challenged in racing to his second straight Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod victory.

Cody Booth scored his first Mach-1 Sport Compact win of the season.

Troy Seidl: Miles, Mountains, and the Long Way Around

By Ben Deatherage CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Dec. 17, 2025) — In southeastern Wyoming, the wind never really stops, and distance is simply part of the landscape. Highways run long and empty across open plains, rising into mountain passes before dropping back into wide-open country where weather sets the rules. For Troy Seidl, racing out of Cheyenne has always meant accepting that reality — that every season begins on the road long before it ever reaches the racetrack. In 2025, those miles turned into momentum. Seidl put together one of the strongest seasons of his career in a Friesen Performance IMCA Modified, earning track championships at Cortez Fairgrounds Speedway and Mosca Motorsports Park while also claiming titles on the Colorado Alliance Tour and the Colorado State championship. The success followed earlier milestones, including the 2023 Colorado State title and a Phillips County Raceway track championship. The Long Road to the Racetrack From Cheyenne to Cortez, Colorado, the drive stretches roughly 11 hours and crosses Wolf Creek Pass at more than 11,000 feet, ending just miles from the New [Read More]
