LISBON, N.D. (Sept. 30) – Jesse Skalicky wrapped up his IMCA Modified rookie campaign with a flag-to-flag run at the front of Sunday’s Battle at the Boneyard field at Sheyenne Speedway.

The victory was Skalicky’s third of the season. He had the fastest car on the higher line in the se­cond set of turns and took the checkers ahead of John Nord and Zach Dockter.

“We’re really satisfied with this year. We knew there would be a big learning curve but hoped we could finish consistently in the top 10,” Skalicky said. “This was our fourth year with a Fury (Chas­sis) so I was confident getting into the Modifieds.”

He was a regular at Red River Valley Speedway, Norman County Raceway and Buffalo River Race Park. Skalicky’s previous best finish at Lisbon had been second in the July 1 show.

Feature results – 1. Jesse Skalicky; 2. John Nord; 3. Zach Dockter; 4. Billie Christ; 5. Randy Klein; 6. John Corell; 7. Tim Perkins; 8. Rusty Kollman; 9. Randy Gordon; 10. Jarrett Carter; 11. Bryce Borgen; 12. Delray Dykstra; 13. Tyler Peterson.

Shipley scores in photo finish at Sheyenne

By Tom Berg   LISBON, N.D. (July 1) – Dave Shipley was the photo finish winner when IMCA Modifieds returned to Sheyenne Speedway as part of the track’s 45th anniversary night.   John Nord led early but was soon overtaken by rookie Jesse Skalicky.   Skalicky was fast on the high side and built a nice lead, but the car on the move was the ninth starting Shipley’s.   He used an effective low line, steadily moved through the field and took over second, then started closing the gap on Skalicky.   As the laps wound down, Shipley got closer and closer and eventually got beside Skalicky as the two ran side-by-side the final few laps. The two raced to the line, where Shipley won a thriller by just .049 of a second in a true photo finish.   Nord had a nice run to finish third, followed by Randy Klein and Tyler Peterson.
