SEYMOUR, Wis. (Aug. 15, 2025) — The Friesen Performance IMCA Modified finale at Outagamie Speedway kicked off with Kevin Feck grabbing the top spot at the drop of the green. Marcus Yarie wasted no time sliding into the runner-up spot and pressured Feck until making the pass on lap three. While that battle raged, Jayden Schmidt quietly worked the No. 24 into third, but Konnor Wilinski had other ideas and slipped by both Schmidt and Feck for second just before the halfway caution. Mechanical issues sidelined Feck under yellow, erasing a strong run.
Wilinski used the restart to lead lap 11, but Yarie countered the very next trip around. That duo swapped the lead like kids trading baseball cards until point leader Johnny “The Hitman” Whitman joined the party in third. A late caution set the stage, with Wilinski seizing the restart, Whitman sliding into second, and then daring the high side. On lap 19, momentum carried Whitman past Wilinski and to the win.
Dan Roedl snatched second with a last-lap move, and Schmidt rounded out the podium. The victory marked Whitman’s seventh Razor Chassis North Central Region win of 2025, three of them at Outagamie.
Snellenberger Scores Stock Car Win
The Sunoco IMCA Stock Car main event saw Kyle Stedjee pace the opening laps before Devin Snellenberger took over on lap four. Presley Harrington gave chase while Clint Forstner moved into third. Point leader Brett Wenzel cracked the top three by lap eight, then grabbed second the next time by. At halfway, Snellenberger led Wenzel, with Forstner, Harrington, and Dan Sell Jr. in tow.
The closing laps tightened the battle as Hot Rod Snellenberger, sitting second in points, climbed to fourth but was undone by a lost wheel on the final lap — dropping him to 14th in the order. Devin Snellenberger went on to secure the win, his fourth of the year in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region but first at Outagamie. Wenzel claimed second and Forstner held third.
Besaw Breaks Through for First SportMod Victory of 2025
The Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod feature opened with Michael and A.J. Springborn fighting for the lead as Tanner Pari held third until a self-spin brought out the lap five caution. Michael Springborn restarted ahead of A.J., Braxton Ambrosius, Dylan Schmidt, and Carter Besaw.
Besaw capitalized immediately, climbing to third and then charging into the lead by lap eight. From there, he stretched his advantage and never looked back, cruising to his first win of the year. Dylan Schmidt crossed in second, with A.J. Springborn rounding out the top three.
Schulte Doubles Up in Sport Compacts
The Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compact feature began with Tyler Konrad out front before Tucker Pari slipped into the lead. Pari held firm until lap 13, when Jesse Schulte powered around the outside and into the top spot.
Schulte never faltered, bagging his second straight win and fourth overall this season — three of them coming at Outagamie. Pari settled for second, with TJ Everard third, Cody Booth fourth (maintaining his points lead), and the dream of a third consecutive division crown still very much alive.
