Pessek Ends Three-Year Stock Car Drought at Arlington

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 29, 2026) — Three- and four-wide racing, four different leaders and a first trip to victory lane in three years made the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature the highlight of Saturday night’s program at Arlington Raceway. Jed Trebelhorn led the field early before getting too high in turns three and four and slipping off the racing surface. Dave Moriarty inherited the lead, but Ryan Bjerkeset and Brent Uecker quickly joined the fight. For eight laps, Moriarty, Bjerkeset, and Uecker raced side-by-side and at times just inches apart. A caution eventually flew when Bjerkeset went off the track after spending several laps in second and headed to the pits. The restart only intensified the battle. Uecker and Moriarty were joined by Tim Pessek, while Trent Loverude, Dan Eckblad, Matt Speckman, and Dan Mackenthun were all within striking distance. Pessek emerged with the lead with three laps remaining and stayed there to the checkers for his first victory of the season in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region and his first trip [Read More]

Ryland Sweeps Antioch SportMod and Stock Car Features and Championships

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (Aug. 29, 2026) — Fred Ryland of Brentwood had a big night at Antioch Speedway as he won both the 20-lap Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod and Sunoco IMCA Stock Car features. In each division, it was his fifth win of the season and capped championship efforts for him in both classes. In the SportMod race, championship hopeful Danny Wagner of Bay Point had earlier won the eight-lap heat race. With a front-row start next to Ryland, Wagner bolted into the lead at the start as Trevor Clymens of Brentwood settled into third. Wagner seemed to have the race well in hand when he caught a slower car on lap 14. A lap later, Wagner and the slower car made contact in turn two, allowing Ryland to make a move underneath both to grab the lead. Ryland led the rest of the way for his fifth SportMod victory of the season, with all five coming at Antioch. Wagner settled for second ahead of Clymens, Al Johnson of Antioch, and Jason Ryan [Read More]
