Super Nationals cornhole tournament fields approach sellout

By Joyce Eisele BOONE, Iowa (June 3, 2023) – Both Friesen Performance IMCA  Modifieds and IMCA Northern SportMods shed their tops on Dirty 30 Topless Night presented by Capital Sign Company and 1-800-BetsOff Saturday at Boone Speedway.

Jimmy Gustin shot to the lead from his pole starting spot as the Modified main began. Gustin looked to be well on his way to capturing the win, still leading at lap 20 while several other drivers continued making their way through the pack.

This gave Ward back the lead, which he kept the remainder of the way to the checkers and the win. He finished comfortably ahead of Ethan Dotson and Jake McBirnie.  Modifieds qualified for the Challenge race through timing, heats, and passing points.  The top 12 then drew for their starting spots for the 15-lap prestigious event.  Cody Laney and Shute were the front row starters.  Laney immediately had the lead as the race went green with fourth place starter Kyle Brown and Todd Shute hot on his tail.  Brown made the pass into the [Read More]

BOONE, Iowa – The United State Motorsports Association will bring its bridge building efforts to Boone Speedway and the 39th annual IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. The Mooresville, N.C.-based USMA will survey drivers and fans alike as part of a project to measure the economic impact the event has on the city, area and state.
