By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 6, 2026) — The Koppen/Harken/Hovinga Memorial Fair Race highlighted Thursday night’s program at Kossuth County Speedway, with each feature winner receiving a six-foot trophy. The evening also included the Kossuth County Hall of Fame induction, honoring Bruce Wickman, John Pletcher, Timmy Sidles, Stacy Mills, the Algona Fire Department and Algona EMS. The Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars produced the night’s most entertaining feature as season point leader Kelly Shryock and Mike Albertsen waged a classic battle over the final 10 laps. Shryock grabbed the lead at the drop of the green while veteran racers Albertsen and Kevin Opheim kept the pressure on. Cautions on laps five and nine slowed the pace, but Shryock remained in command at halfway with Albertsen, Opheim and McCain Jennings in pursuit. Albertsen spent the closing laps glued to Shryock’s rear bumper but came up just half a car length short at the checkers. Jennings completed the podium ahead of Opheim and Zayn Feaster. Chris Palsrok and Carson Reinig each advanced six positions to share Hard Charger [Read More]
