SHAWANO, Wis. (May 3, 2025) — The Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods kicked off feature action with one of the night’s most intense races at Shawano Speedway, where a steady Friday night rain had soaked the infield and left a heavy layer of clay on the legendary half-mile. Thanks to diligent work from the track crew throughout Saturday, the surface was race-ready by nightfall—and Jeffery Teske was ready to capitalize.

Teske surged into the lead on lap 2, getting around Michael Springborn early and building a comfortable cushion. That advantage would be tested late as Cole Magnin carved his way into contention, but each time he prepared to make a move, lapped traffic slowed his momentum. Teske held strong through the pressure to secure his first win of the season. Magnin finished second, followed by J.J. Vanderloop in third

Nolan Repeats in Stock Car Season Opener

In Sunoco IMCA Stock Car action, it was business as usual for defending track champion Trent Nolan. Nolan took command from the outset and paced the field through the first green-flag run until a lap 8 caution regrouped the pack.

Unfazed, Nolan powered away again after the restart and then again following a second caution that brought Devin Snellenberger to his rear bumper. Snellenberger made several bids in the closing laps, but Nolan proved too strong, earning his first win of 2025 in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region. Snellenberger and Dan Michonski rounded out the podium.

Seegert Controls Modified Main

The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds wrapped up the evening with a relatively smooth feature, led wire-to-wire by Joel Seegert. Seegert started on the front row and quickly established control of the race, though challenges loomed behind him.

Lucas Lamberies, who suffered early issues, made a spirited charge through the field to reach second by lap 7. While he showed speed, he couldn’t reel in Seegert, who stayed clean through traffic to take the checkered flag, his first win in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Lamberies was runner-up, with Jordan Bartz taking third.

IMCA Stock Cars are spectacular at Shawano

By Scott J. Owen SHAWANO, Wis. (June 25, 2022) – Though the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car division is known as The Class Too Tough To Tame, it doesn’t always feature a three-wide battle for the lead for nearly half of the race.  But Saturday night at Shawano Speedway it sure did with Trent Nolan prevailing for his fourth win of the year.  Fresh off an impressive heat race win earlier in the evening, Dylan Stedjee took the lead on lap one. Tyler Wendt pressured Stedjee from the start, pulled alongside the leader on more than one occasion while Kyle Frederick, Nolan and Luke Lemmens joined the battle at the front of the field.  Frederick pulled to the outside of Stedjee on lap seven to take the lead.  Lemmens quickly made it three-wide for the lead with Frederick and Stedjee.  Frederick continued to lead as Lemmens ran second and Nolan moved to third.  On lap 11, Frederick, Lemmens and Nolan began their three-wide battle for the win that would continue for the final nine laps of the race.  Most often [Read More]
