MAQUOKETA, Iowa (May 17, 2025) — The headliner of the night’s action at Maquoketa Speedway was the 20-lap Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature, a qualifier for the B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational. Thanks to Colton and Danielle Dirks, the Stock Cars raced for a $1,000 top prize, attracting 29 entries that included some of the best in the business.
The feature took the green with Montello, Wisconsin’s Kenny Richards establishing himself early as the man to beat. Richards made the three-and-a-half-hour haul to Maquoketa pay off in a big way, pocketing the $1,000 payday. He was challenged early by Kaden Reynolds before Indiana’s Sheldon Oberle took over second and began closing in. Dallon Murty made a strong charge from the fifth row, battling for the lead in the closing laps. At the checkers, it was Richards securing the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win, followed by Oberle and Murty. Richards is now eligible to try and qualify for the B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational, to be held later this summer at the 2025 Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.
The Sunoco IMCA Late Models feature saw young Chase Brunscheen drive an impressive race and appear to be on his way to a career-first Late Model win. However, Logan Veloz had other plans, charging to his second win of the weekend by passing Brunscheen with five laps to go in the 25-lap feature. Brunscheen held on for second, running the lip of the track, while Steve Johnson rounded out the podium.

In Friesen Performance IMCA Modified action, young Charlie Mohr scored his second consecutive Maquoketa Speedway victory. Mohr raced into the lead by slipping past early leader Mitch Way and never looked back, capturing the 20-lap feature win in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Mohr praised the track crew for providing another outstanding racing surface. Austin Stamm had a strong run to finish second, with Way completing the top three.
