Gereau Edges Ten Napel in Stock Car Classic

By Ben Deathearge JEFFERSON, S.D. (May 2, 2025) —  The 20-lap IMCA Stock Car main event capped the evening with a white-knuckle thriller that ended in a photo finish. Chad Ten Napel took the lead on lap 3 and looked strong through two early cautions. Two-time South Dakota State champion Todd Gereau, who started 12th, patiently carved through the field and entered the lead battle with just a few laps to go. Gereau made a daring move on lap 17, diving low to briefly grab the lead, only to drift wide and surrender the position. Undeterred, he switched to the high side and carried the momentum off the final corner to nip Ten Napel at the line by inches. It was Gereau’s first EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of the year. Justin Addison held off Ryan Harris to complete the top three. Ankrum Holds On in Hobby Stock Nail-Biter Zach Ankrum took the early lead from Lowell Janssen and built a solid advantage before a lap 10 caution bunched the field. Tyler Smith closed [Read More]

Lapped traffic is a late menace before Dennis wins Stuart’s Ron Little Memorial 

By Josh Reynolds STUART, Iowa (Sept. 22) – Lapped traffic was almost a factor in the final laps, but Jesse Dennis picked up the IMCA Modified win and $1,500 payday at Stuart Speedway’s Ron Little Memorial. Dennis had taken the lead early in Saturday’s 30-lap race with Red Monson and then Cody Laney in the second spot. Laney made a charge and got up alongside Dennis a few times but couldn’t quite get the pass completed. A couple cautions slowed the field, but each time it was Dennis, Laney and Monson at the front. At the checkered flag it was Dennis picking up the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot-qualifying win. Laney finished second with Monson third, Richie Gustin fourth and Kelly Shryock fifth. One hundred and eighteen cars overflowed the pits for the 20th annual event. Sixth-starting Mike Nichols charged into the lead on lap two and drove to a convincing IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win ahead of Bryan Snell and Brandon Pruitt. Eric Stanton led start to finish in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock [Read More]
