Noteboom makes history at Park Jefferson

JEFFERSON, S.D. (June 1) – A former track champion in the Stock Car division was the Art­works Graphics IMCA Modifieds feature winner Saturday at Park Jefferson Speedway.  Chris Mills was able to benefit from a front row starting spot and jump to an early lead, ultimately winning by a margin of four seconds. Mills was chased by R.J. Merchant, who has found a lot of speed over the past few weeks, while Jay Noteboom was third. In the Stevenson Hardware IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars, Dusty Ballenger came flying from eighth with point leader Brant O’Banion in tow as the drivers from the fourth row were able to slide around the smooth racing surface to race into the lead. Ballenger has shown an affinity for the Park surface since the Sprint Cars became weekly and picked up his second win of the year.  The J&J Fitting IMCA Stock Cars saw Greg Taylor hold off Elijah Zevenbergen by just one tenth of a second to pick up his second feature win of the year.

By Ben Deathearge JEFFERSON, S.D. (May 2, 2025) —  The 20-lap IMCA Stock Car main event capped the evening with a white-knuckle thriller that ended in a photo finish. Chad Ten Napel took the lead on lap 3 and looked strong through two early cautions. Two-time South Dakota State champion Todd Gereau, who started 12th, patiently carved through the field and entered the lead battle with just a few laps to go. Gereau made a daring move on lap 17, diving low to briefly grab the lead, only to drift wide and surrender the position. Undeterred, he switched to the high side and carried the momentum off the final corner to nip Ten Napel at the line by inches. It was Gereau’s first EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of the year. Justin Addison held off Ryan Harris to complete the top three.
