NORFOLK, Neb. (April 9, 2022) – With big money on the line, Tyler Iverson stood his ground late in the race to score the $2,000 IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature win Saturday at Off Road Speedway.

A stout field of 48 cars contended in the Crown Summer Series event. Ryan Harris led early in the 30-lapper before spinning in front of the field. That incident handed the lead to Iverson, who was constantly pressured by Jesse Sobbing.

Sobbing got major runs off the top of turn two but could not get a big enough charge to get around Iverson and settled for second while Chanse Hollatz hustled to third after starting 15th. The biggest mover of the race was Minnesota driver Jeff Larson, who started dead last in the 24th position and charged all the way to ninth. 

Iverson’s career seventh win in the division made him eligible to qualify for the B & B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational. The series is presented by Herbster Angus Farms.

The first-ever IMCA Modified feature at Off Road saw veteran driver Ricky Stephan break out to the early lead before Jordan Grabouski took command.

Multiple cautions slowed the event. On the restart with 15 laps to go, Grabouski swung wide off turn four allowing Stephan to take the lead back, but three laps later Grabouski was back in front and took the cruised to a $1,000 payday. 

Already Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational qualifying eligible, Grabouski was chased across the stripe by Stephan and Jared Hoefelman.

And in the 20-lap IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock main event, Off Road Speedway regular Stephanie Reynolds broke out to an early lead.

Taylor Huss took the lead on lap four and proceeded to drive to the checkered flag in his first-ever visit to Off Road. Another Off Road weekly racer, Jason Wilkinson, charged from 12th to finish second. Reynolds rounded out the podium.

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews.co NORFOLK, Neb. (April 28) – With a large crowd on hand, the 2018 season at Off Road Speed­way began Saturday night. “We’ve got 84 cars here tonight, which is an increase from last year, and a great crowd for the first night,” promoter Jerry Pospisil said. “The track is really good, it’s slick, and that’s what we like. We’re real excited about the year, especially if we can keep the car count up around 80–that’s the best in the business around here.” With an increased purse this season for classes that consist of 20 cars or more, Pospisil noted that two of Saturday night’s classes, the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars and IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, already met that criteria on opening night. Racing action began with Ramsey Meyer starting on the pole and leading all 12 laps in the IMCA Sport Compact feature to take the first checkered flag of the season at Off Road Speedway. Tan­ner Uehling finished second with Parker Vollbrecht in third. Robby Thome won the Karl Chevrolet [Read More]

Brothers battle in IMCA Stock Car feature at Off Road

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews.com NORFOLK, Neb. (May 22) – Saturday’s IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature at Off Road Speedway became a battle between Neligh’s Wilkinson brothers, Kyle and Cameron.  Kyle moved quickly from the outside of the second row into the lead during the first lap and Cameron needed just four laps to find his brother’s rear bumper, even while navigating a group of cars often traveling three- and four-wide in the backstretch. “I knew he was there, I kept on seeing his nose,” Kyle said. “I was trying everything I could not to let him around me.” Cameron had his chances with four cautions during the race’s final 12 laps, but eventually followed Kyle to the checkered flag in second place. Meanwhile, Chad Bruns finished third.  “It’s a friendly deal, I guess, but we always want to beat one another,” Kyle said. “We don’t keep track of who has more wins. For me, every night is a different night. I just come down here and try to win.” “I wasn’t even going to come tonight, [Read More]

First Off Road Speedway win for Missouri racer 

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews.com NORFOLK, Neb. (June 16) – Taylor Caldwell made the most of a visit to his hometown of Stanton this past weekend, returning to his racing roots long enough to win the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature at Off Road Speedway, in a borrowed car. “I got out of racing for about nine years until this year and John Dunklau was nice enough to let me run his SportMod this season to get back in to it,’ said Caldwell, who lives and works in Lib­erty, Mo. “I was fortunate enough tonight to put it in the winner’s circle.” Caldwell took advantage of his starting position on the outside of the front row and took control of the race early on, winning handily ahead of Jeremy and Joey Haase. A quick start in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature allowed TeJay Mielke to immediately grab the lead from his second row inside position. Mielke then withstood four cautions to lead all 18 laps for the win. After starting in the middle of the [Read More]
