Appelt Outduels Field to Capture Inaugural $4,000-to-Win Bonnie Beeter Memorial at Nodak

By Ben Deatherage MINOT, N.D. (Aug. 24, 2025) — Caden Appelt of Minot pocketed $4,000 in the 40-lap Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature at Nodak Speedway, winning the inaugural Bonnie Beeter Memorial. The victory was his 11th of the season in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region, with eight of those coming at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds 3/8-mile oval. Appelt got the jump from his third-place starting position to lead the opening lap, but 2022 Estevan Motor Speedway champion Kaden Tuchscherer quickly applied pressure on the high side. Tuchscherer took the point on lap 12 following several laps of side-by-side battling with Appelt, whose preferred low line eventually gave way. The two checked out from the field and resumed their duel again by lap 22. A lap-23 caution reset the field, and Appelt regained the lead on lap 28 with a slider in turn two. Two-time Nebraska State champion Travis Landauer closed in with a run on the bottom, while 2022 McLean County Speedway champion Trever Haas battled him for second. That fight allowed Appelt [Read More]

Shryock Dominates Stock Cars at Algona; Adds to Big Season Tally

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 21, 2025) — The Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature at Kossuth County Speedway for the Jade Lange Memorial brought 17 cars to the track, with pole sitter Kelly Shryock showing once again why he’s been the class of the field all year. Shryock jumped out front at the start and controlled the pace until a lap-12 yellow slowed things. After a complete restart, cautions for Mike Albertsen’s spin and a small fire under Colby Fett’s hood briefly delayed the action, but none of it rattled Shryock. He powered away to his eighth victory of the year at Kossuth County Speedway, and his 19th in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region for 2025. Kevin Opheim was runner-up, followed by Chad Palmer, Devin Tripp, and Calvin Lange. Tripp picked up the hard charger honors, improving seven positions. Shryock’s season dominance also locked down the track championship with a commanding 62-point margin.
