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.

Yarie, Arneson cash in at Outagamie Speedway

By Edward Anschutz SEYMOUR, Wis. (June 21) – Mark Schuenemann paced the opening laps of the $1,000 to win IMCA Modified feature Friday at Outagamie Speedway before defending track champion Marcus Yarie came to call. Yarie took the lead from Schuenemann and set sail, going unchallenged for his first local feature win of the season and pocketing the $1,000 payday. Already on the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot, Yarie won the green to checkered contest ahead of Schuenemann, Mike Mullen, Brian Mullen and Jerry Wilinski. Former national champion Travis Van Straten raced to the lead on lap one of the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car headliner. After starting in row five, Eric Arneson worked to the runner-up position by lap five using the top groove. Arneson set his sights on Van Straten, pulling even with him on lap eight. A lap later, Arneson took the lead and never looked back, earning his first feature win of the season. Van Straten stayed close but had to settle for second, Chas Van Ooyen was third, Jeremy Christians took fourth and point leader Josh Mroczkoski rounded out the top five. The contest ran caution-free.

Snellenberger, Schroeder sweep at Seymour

By Joe Verdegan SEYMOUR, Wis. (June 7, 2024) – Track officials broke out the proverbial broom for a pair of IMCA drivers at Outagamie Speedway on Friday night. Rod Snellenberger earned his first feature flag of the 2024 campaign with a heat win to boot in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars while Cody Schroeder doubled up in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds. Snellenberger ducked underneath Tyler Wilson to snatch the lead on lap five and never relinquished the top spot the rest of the way. His 222nd career win in the division was good for $1,000 and B & B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational qualifying eligibility. Schroeder whisked past Daniel Wilcox for the lead on lap nine and never looked back, picking up his first Modified ‘W’ of the season here. Hometown driver Jayden Schmidt took second at the pay window, followed by Johnny Whitman, Marcus Yarie and Brandon Schmitt.

Whitman captures checkers at Outagamie

By Edward Anschutz SEYMOUR, Wis. (May 24) – Johnny Whitman led the last three laps before making his way to victory lane Friday night at Outagamie Speedway. Brekken Kleinschmidt paced the opening laps of the IMCA Modified headliner until Mark Schuenemann raced by on lap four. A series of cautions before midway kept the field bunched up. Tyler Wilson used this to his advantage, snagging the lead down low on lap 10. Whitman worked through the field to the runner-up position after starting in row six. Wilson and Whitman worked the low groove until Wilson left the door open just enough to allow Whitman to sneak by for the lead. Whitman led the remaining three laps while Wilson settled for second at the pay window. Mike Mullen rallied to place third after sliding back to last on the first lap. Josh Mroczkowski measured his margin of victory over Trent Nolan by half a car length in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car main.

$2,000 to Win Inaugural Cowboy Jim Kennedy Memorial Set for August 7 at Clinton County

By Ben Deatherage MILL HALL, Pa. (June 24, 2026) — Clinton County Speedway will honor one of Pennsylvania’s most beloved RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car competitors when the inaugural Cowboy Jim Kennedy Memorial is held on Friday, August 7. The special event will be contested on what would have been Kennedy’s 92nd birthday and will celebrate the life and legacy of a racer whose impact on the sport stretched across generations. “We are honored to have the family’s blessing to host the inaugural Cowboy Jim Kennedy Memorial Race,” said Clinton County Speedway promoter Jason McCahan. Kennedy, who passed away on April 2 at the age of 91, began his racing career in 1958 and remained one of the most respected figures in central Pennsylvania motorsports.
