KENNEDALE, Texas (Aug. 13, 2025) — The IMCA Southern SportMod Super Nationals return to Kennedale Speedway Park on September 4–6, now with Summit Racing Equipment on board as title sponsor for both the Super Nationals and the All-Star special in a newly signed three-year deal. The Southern SportMod-exclusive event, in its fourth year at KSP, has become a premier destination for top-tier talent in the division from across the region.

The road to the Super Nationals began with the Prelude presented by Mike Frieri last Saturday August 9, which paid $2,000 to win. By finishing on top of the podium in that event, Casey Brunson locked himself into Saturday’s big dance. The Prelude also served as a qualifying opportunity for the All-Star portion of Super Nationals week.

Drivers who either competed in the Prelude or have won a 2025 IMCA-sanctioned Southern SportMod feature are eligible for the All-Star qualifying heats on Thursday, September 4. The top 20 finishers will advance to the $1,000 to win, $100 to start All-Star Feature, which runs Friday, September 5 after the completion of the Super Nationals double heats. Three drivers also earned provisional starting spots in the All-Star main event through All-Star Shootout Tour victories earlier this year — Josh Landers, Jerrett Bransom (twice), and Tyler Russell.

The $5,000 to win, $500 to start Summit Racing Equipment IMCA Southern SportMod Super Nationals — takes center stage on Saturday, September 6. With an overall purse of $30,000, last-chance qualifiers and B-mains will complete the starting grid. A fan vote and an auction spot will determine two provisional starters for Saturday’s feature. Only pre-registered drivers are eligible for the fan vote, and both provisionals will receive $500 starting money.

Past champions include Ray Allen Kulhanek (2024), Dean Abbey (2023), and Marcus Mikulencak (2022).

Early registration opened on August 9 at the Prelude for $90, while late registration begins August 24 at $140. Open practice will run from 6–8 p.m. on Thursday, September 4, with racing starting at 8:05 p.m.

Allen races close to home, collects Kennedale checkers 

KENNEDALE, Texas (Oct. 7) – A wet weekend forecast in Kansas convinced Chase Allen to race closer to home. That decision proved to be good for $2,500. Despite battling brake issues much of the way, Allen led all 25 laps of the Saturday main event for IMCA Modifieds at Kennedale Speedway Park’s Summit Racing Equipment Showdow The Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifying victory came ahead of Chris Elliott, Chad Melton, Josh McGaha and Chris Bragg. “I was just the glad the car was turning so good,” said Allen, who built up a sizable advantage before the last caution waved with four laps to go. “We changed our plans to race at Fall Nationals (at RPM Speedway in Hays, Kan.) because it’s hard to drive past a track that’s 15 minutes from your home. I didn’t get to race here as often as I would have liked this year but Kennedale is a track I know pretty well.” Rain the previous weekend had forced rescheduling of the fall special at Kennedale.

Everything is right for White in IMCA Lone Star Tour opener at Kennedale

KENNEDALE, Texas (March 4) – When Paul White was asked last fall if he’d be interested in driving an IMCA Sunoco Stock Car, his answer, of course, was a resounding “Sure!” On Saturday, the questions he was answering were all about his first win in the class, on opening night of the Sunoco Race Fuels Lone Star Tour presented by Sniper Speed at Kennedale Speedway Park. “That was my first time in a Stock Car. It wasn’t a bad night to get my first win,” White said after leading the last half of the 30-lapper and taking the $1,000 checkers. “I was just tickled about it.” He’d started 11th and passed Shelby Williams for the lead following a restart at midway. White had raced Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds, IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars and most recently a Smiley’s Racing Products IMCA Southern SportMod.  “My car owners P.J. Kingrey and Adam Schwartz talked me into this,” said White, who didn’t need much convincing to saddle up in the new class. “They asked if they sold their factory stock [Read More]
