ALGONA, Iowa (June 22, 2023) – McCain Jennings was not to be denied his third visit to victory lane this season at Kossuth County Speedway, when IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars took to the oval at Algona on Thursday night.

Wayne Landheer was the early leader as a great battle played out over the first half of the race with Donovan Smith and Jennings contending.

Landheer kept his no. 2 rig out front until five laps remained, when Jennings became the new leader. He then went on to capture his third win of the season at Algona as the race went green, white, checkered.

Smith crossed the finish line in second place as Landheer was third.

Cody Knecht led the first three laps before Jeremy Mills took over the lead and went onto his second local Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature win of the season. Knecht finished second and Todd Stinehart was third.

The closest feature of the evening came in the Mach-1 Sport Compacts as Lady Eagle frontrunner Brooke Osler was the early leader before Lucas Parsons came calling.

The two were door-to-door with two laps remaining. Parsons grabbed the lead coming out of the turn two with one lap to go and went onto his second feature win of the year in another caution-free race.

Osler held on for second place as Charles Prime was third.

The Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods saw Richard Fish lead early before a lap two yellow. Off the restart, Jarrett Franzen became the new leader as Matt Looft and Franzen broke away from the field with Franzen on the low side and Looft running up top.

Looft finally got the lead with four to go and went onto his fifth feature win of the season at the track. Franzen came home in second place followed by Alec Fett.

The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature was led early by Cody Hubbell before Chris Krug took over the first spot on lap number three and cruised to his second win of the season at the track.

Hubbell had a good run to take the runner-up spot as Brandon Nielsen prevailed in a good battle for third.

Grabouski schools IMCA Fair Street Face Off foes

ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 10, 2023) – Jordan Grabouski had a couple good reasons to get to the end of Thursday’s Larry Evers Fair Street Face Off feature for Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds. First was the $5,000 that accompanied the checkers at Kossuth County Speedway’s Thursday night special. Second and more importantly was the little girl looking forward to her dad taking her to her first day of pre-school the next morning. Grabouski started on the pole and led start to finish of the 25-lap nightcap, said his thank you’s from victory late and loaded up and made that all-important quick trip back to Beatrice, Neb., where he had time for a quick nap before getting daughter Jorja to pre-school at 8:15 a.m. sharp. “I had never raced at Kossuth County Speedway before but everything went great,” said Grabouski, who queried track regular Jeremy Mills about the nuances of running at Algona. “It helped drawing the one, of course, but we had a really good car.” “The car felt best higher on the track,” added Grabouski, [Read More]

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (May 21) – It was opening night at Kossuth County Speedway May 21 without any specta­tors in the grandstands but that did not deter a grand total of 103 cars from dotting the pits at Al­gona.  While the IMCA Modified featured was a heated battle throughout, pole-sitter Cody Knecht led the whole way to earn the win. Just a caution flag on lap number five delayed the Whittemore driver trip into the win­ner’s circle. Austin Wolf and Jeremy Mills both challenged Knecht but he refused to give up the lead. Thirty-one IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars vied for spots in their main event grid. Devin Smith grabbed the early but Jeffrey Larson pulled even at midway and took the lead on the following lap.  Both Troy Swearington and Smith kept pressure on Larson but he went onto the win with Smith second and Swearington third. Zack Smidt paced the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Jared Boumeester was the Karl Kustoms North­ern SportMod winner. Kaytee DeVries topped the Mach-1 Sport Compact main. [Read More]
