Biggs Survives Wild Southern Oregon SportMod Main for $1,000 Victory

By Jason Allen WHITE CITY, Ore. (May 9, 2026) — In front of a standing-room-only crowd, Cory Biggs overcame adversity before and during Saturday night’s Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod feature at Southern Oregon Speedway, charging from 10th to win the $1,000-to-win main event. Because of the massive standing room only turnout, Southern Oregon Speedway officials boosted the purses for both the IMCA SportMods and Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds. After getting his car destroyed the previous week, the Yreka, California driver climbed behind the wheel of Ethan Killingsworth’s No. 7M machine and spent the entire week helping prepare the car for competition. Isaac Sanders led the opening two laps before Jorddon Braaten took command on lap three. Earlier in the race, Mike Medel went for a violent ride after getting pinched entering turn three and launching off the edge of the racing surface with one lap completed. Multiple cautions slowed the pace throughout the feature, including another yellow on lap nine just as Vinny DeBenedetti began reeling in Braaten. DeBenedetti later looped his machine with 12 [Read More]

Hellman Goes Back-to-Back After Wild Stock Car Battle at Mandan

By Becca Pelkey MANDAN, N.D. (May 8, 2026) — Fans were on their feet during a wild Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature that saw Geoff Hellman emerge victorious after a chaotic and action-packed Friday night battle at Dacotah Speedway. Travis Ulmer and Brennor Grinstead fought fiercely for the lead in the early stages while defending track champion Hellman carved his way through the field from 12th starting position. The trio eventually raced three-wide for the top spot, occasionally making contact while thrilling the crowd with an intense battle for supremacy. A caution with seven laps remaining tightened the field, and more drama unfolded on the restart when contact between Hellman and Grinstead sent Grinstead spinning in front of the pack, collecting Andrew Jochim. Grinstead was sent to the rear following the incident. On the final restart, Jochim, who had started 10th, mounted one last challenge for the lead, but Mandan’s Hellman held him off at the stripe to collect his second straight feature win and second EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region victory of the season.

Matt Rezac: The Charging Czech from Tabor

By Ben Deatherage TABOR, S.D. (May 12, 2026) — In southeastern South Dakota, towns like Tabor don’t try to stand out. They don’t have to. They sit along open stretches of prairie and farmland, where the pace of life is steady and familiar, and where most people know exactly where they’re headed long before they leave the driveway. On summer evenings, that direction often points toward a racetrack. Not because it’s something new. But because it’s always been there. For Matt Rezac, it started the same way it does for a lot of people in places like this. With a ride. “I always kind of heard about it growing up,” he said. “Wagner Speedway was only about 45 minutes from me, but I never really thought anything of it.” That changed the first time he went. “One of my buddies I went to school with asked if I wanted to go with him and his grandpa,” he said. “We went to that, and that’s where I fell in love with it.” He was around 10 or [Read More]
