Rain Washes Out Williston Features; Wednesday’s Round Four Moved to Mandan

By Ben Deatherage WILLISTON, N.D. (July 7, 2026) — Rain disrupted the third round of the 2026 Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric on Tuesday night at Williston Basin Speedway and has forced a schedule change for the remainder of the week. Tuesday’s program at Williston Basin Speedway completed all heat races and B Mains before heavy rain arrived just prior to the start of the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature, preventing the remainder of the evening’s racing program from being completed. Continued rainfall and saturated grounds have forced the fourth round of the Dakota Classic Modified Tour, originally scheduled for Southwest Speedway in Dickinson, to be moved to Dacotah Speedway in Mandan on Wednesday, July 8. Dacotah Speedway will also host the previously scheduled fifth round of the tour on Thursday, July 9, giving fans two consecutive nights of Dakota Classic Tour action at the 3/8-mile Mandan oval. Tour officials encourage fans and competitors to follow the Dakota Classic Modified Tour Facebook page for the latest schedule updates and additional event information. Fans [Read More]

(July 4, 2026) — Matthew Looft enjoyed a successful Independence Day at Arlington Raceway, charging from 12th to win the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature before rallying from fourth to capture the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified main event.

Daniel Eckblad advanced nine positions from 11th to finish second, while Trent Loverude charged from 13th to third. Mackenthun settled for fourth, and Larsen completed the top five. [Read More]
