ANTIOCH, Calif. (May 31, 2025) — Kyle Rasmussen of Clovis won the 25 lap California RaceSaver Sprint Series main event. The two-time State champion turned in a rather dominant performance in collecting his third win of the season.

Rasmussen led from the outset ahead of reigning California State champion Phil Heynen and current point leader Davey Pombo Jr. Following a lap five yellow flag for Rino Feliciano, Rasmussen resumed command. Pombo slipped past Heynen for second at that point, but Rasmussen started pulling away again. The race had one more slowdown, but that did not deter Rasmussen as he scored an impressive victory ahead of Davey Pombo Jr. and Heynen.

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (Oct. 1, 2022) – Troy Foulger made two trips to victory lane on an emotional Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. The Oakley driver topped the $3,000 to win 49-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main event at Antioch’s Bill Bowers Memorial West Coast Nationals, driving the 2020 GRT Chassis owned by Bowers’ son. Earlier in the evening, Foulger had won the $1,200 prize in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature, in a B & B Racing Chassis ride powered by a Billy Bowers-built engine. Foulger had a front row start for the Modified headliner and took the early lead. Brian Cass held the second spot until Austin Burke gained the position on lap seven. Burke surrendered second to Nebraskan Jacob Hobscheidt on lap 35. The 2020 race winner went low in turn four on lap 44 to take the lead. However, Foulger came back strong in the same turn a lap later to regain command, then held off the tenacious Hobscheidt over the remaining circuits to score the emotional victory. Burke [Read More]

By Rif Clair PARAGOULD, Ark. (Jun. 21, 2025) — The Mod Lites of Arkansas hosted its third annual Racing For The Paws event Saturday night at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway. The event featured both Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lite action and a donation drive benefiting the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society, which collected pet supplies and cleaning products. “This event is special to us as we not only get to bring Mod Lite racing to a new audience in a near-capacity setting, but we also get to do something for a great organization that helps displaced animals find their fur-ever home,” said promoter Bryce Vowan. “Our signature trophy for the event, The Paw, has become a very sought-after item for every racer’s trophy case.” Before the start of the racing program, Paul Alban displayed his no. 74a Sidewinder Chassis atop the hill near the entrance, allowing fans and fellow drivers to drop off donations of pet food, cleaning products, and toys.
