Horejsi cashes in at Kossuth County

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (May 13) – Once George Nordman got the lead there was no catching up Thursday night at the Thunderdome. Justin Raymond and Alex Smith brought the Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod feature field to the starting line and Raymond was the early leader in the 15-lapper at Kossuth County Speedway.  Nordman wrestled his way to front and never gave it up, holding off last week’s winner Matt Looft for the win. Alec Fett finished third as Colby Fett took fourth and Jared Boumeester rounded out the top five. The IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars put on their usual entertaining show as Derek Green had to hold off a late run from hard-charging Kelly Shryock to win the feature. Cody Nielsen came across the stripe in third as Chad Palmer was fourth with Donovan Smith placing fifth.  The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature went to Brandon Nielsen, who had started on the outside of third row. Josh Sidles, Carter Koop, Dylan Fitzpatrick and Chris Krug were the top five finishers.  Jeff Feaster and [Read More]

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 3, 2023) – On a night when the feature winners all earn six-foot trophies, a solid car count competed in front of nice crowd in the grandstand Thursday in the Kossuth County Fair race.  Algona Plumbing & Heating added a little extra money to each class at a mystery position by drawing of $200 at the end of their features. The four IMCA divisions racing for a $1,000 first place check all went green-white-checkered. The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature went caution free as national and track point leader Mike Smith led all 12 laps of the race. The young Lake City driver started on the inside of row one and took the lead immediately off the drop of the green flag and went onto his sixth feature win of the season at the track. Brandon Nielsen was the runner-up as Cody Hubbell took third with James Burns finishing fourth and Josh Sidles rounded out the top five. Sidles was the winner of the $200 mystery draw.

BRITT, Iowa (July 28) – The game plan Joel Rust brought to Hancock County Speedway and the third installment of the Speed Shift TV Dirt Knights Tour for IMCA Modifieds played out to perfection Tuesday night. Rust led all but the opening circuit in the 25-lap contest, outrunning Ethan Braaksma and Jeremy Mills to the $1,000 checkers.  “We had a good draw, got to the lead quick and had to keep hitting our marks,” said Rust, who had taken the initial green flag from inside row two. “There were a lot of good cars here tonight and we got it done.” Rust was pulling away from the rest of the field when cautions came out on lap seven and again on lap 16, when his advantage over the second-running David Brown was nearly six seconds. Braaksma, winner of the first two tour events of the summer, started 11th and took over the runner-up spot for good on the ensuing restart. After spinning out of second on lap eight, Mills restarted at the tail and worked his [Read More]
