Jaxon Saathoff tops Eagle Modified main

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (June 25, 2022) – Matt Andrews went sailing Saturday night, from row five at the start to victory lane following Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod main event at Eagle Raceway. Andrews started 10th, snagged the lead with 12 to go and took the checkers ahead of Ryan Argobast and Dana Deeke.  “When you have to start in the back because of the points deal, it’s pretty tough to get to the front. A lot of these guys are really good and that’s the reason they’re out here,” Andrews said. “We’ve struggled getting through them but tonight was our night” “I think we were in second four laps in and I know I looked up at the scoreboard and there were 12 to go when I took the lead,” he added. “From there it was smooth sailing.” Jordan Grabouski won both Friesen Performance IMCA Modified and IMCA Sunoco Stock Car features. Dillon Richards’ IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock victory was his third straight at America’s Home Track and Stuart Snyder paced the IMCA RaceSaver [Read More]

EAGLE, Neb. – Two words of advice from Roger Hadan regarding the upcoming RaceSaver Nationals? Register now. Seventy IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car drivers have already taken that advice and are signed up to compete in the sixth annual event, to be held Aug. 30-Sept. 2 at Eagle Raceway. “Go online and pre-enter.

Hadan also confirmed that Thomas Weeks from the Discovery Channel’s Misfit Garage will be grand mar­shal for the event. Weeks and crew will spend the week at the event.

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (June 2) – Mike Densberger ended a too-long absence from victory lane at Eagle Raceway with Saturday’s Runner Freight IMCA Modified checkers. The fifth starting Densberger passed Mike Lineberry for second on lap three and grabbed the lead the next time around. Jordan Grabouski, who had to transfer through the ‘B’ feature took over fourth with four to go and vaulted into second after two more laps but didn’t have enough time to make a play for the front spot. “It’s been a long time, almost three years now. I knew there were a lot of fast cars behind me, so I wanted to get to the front and keep them behind me,” Densberger said. “It was a little rough to­night but after how much rain we got last night you couldn’t ask for a better track. We set the car up for it and she was a rocket tonight.” Shawn Harker won for the fourth time in five Purdue University IMCA Northern SportMod outings at Eagle this season, by [Read More]
