ANTIOCH, Calif. (June 13, 2026) — Kenneth Robles of Rio Vista scored an emotional first Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory of the season Saturday night at Antioch Speedway, dedicating the win to longtime track supporter Tom Fraser, who passed away two weeks earlier.

Starting fourth, Robles charged into the lead at the drop of the green flag and spent much of the 20-lap feature holding off point leader Troy Foulger of Oakley. As the leaders navigated lapped traffic, Robles continued to hit his marks while Foulger and Fred Ryland battled behind him.

Foulger’s hopes took a hit on lap 13 when he got sideways exiting turn four and slipped behind Ryland. That gave Robles some breathing room, though Ryland steadily reeled him in during the closing laps.

Robles stayed composed under pressure and raced to the victory, his first of 2026 in the EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region. Ryland finished second after advancing from ninth, followed by Foulger. Jason Robles and Clarence Holbrook III completed the top five.

Clymens Charges From Eighth for First SportMod Win

Trevor Clymens of Brentwood earned his first Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod victory of the season after charging from eighth starting position.

Following an early restart, Jason Ryan Jr. paced the opening laps before Clymens worked his way into contention. He grabbed second on lap three and completed a pass for the lead on lap nine.

Clymens then survived multiple late-race restarts to secure the win. Fred Ryland advanced from ninth to finish second, while Ryan settled for third. Al Johnson was fourth, and Buddy Kniss rallied from 13th to fifth.

Foulger Scores Third Antioch Modified Victory

Troy Foulger of Oakley led all 15 laps of the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature to earn his third Antioch Speedway victory of the season.

The win was also his third DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region triumph of 2026.

Nick DeCarlo, fresh off a victory at Watsonville the previous evening, chased Foulger throughout the race but settled for second. Eric Berendsen finished third.

Dolan Dices Through Lapped Traffic at Port Royal for First Win

By Stephanie Dodson PORT ROYAL, Pa. (June 13, 2026) — Chris Dolan’s steady climb through the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series ranks reached a milestone Saturday night as the York driver led all 20 laps of the Penns Valley Meat Market feature at Port Royal Speedway to earn his first career RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car victory. Dolan started from the pole aboard the Jon Williams-owned No. 89D and immediately established himself as the driver to beat. Colton Hendershot settled into second and remained in pursuit for most of the race, with the pair running first and second through the opening 18 circuits. Lapped traffic briefly tightened the battle as Hendershot closed to within half a second of the leader. Once Dolan worked his way through the slower cars, however, he quickly rebuilt his advantage and at one point stretched the margin to more than three seconds. The race’s lone caution came on lap 17 when Josh Spicer, who had advanced from 15th into seventh, spun in turns three and four and collected Zach Rhodes. Both [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (June 15, 2026) — Matt Sanders earned the biggest Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified victory of his career, winning the third round of the 2026 IMCA Wild West Speedweek on Monday night at Cottage Grove Speedway. Reigning National Rookie of the Year and Southern Oregon Speedway track champion Ethan Killingsworth, from California, grabbed the lead at the start and established himself as the driver to beat. He encountered lapped traffic on lap seven but maintained command as Sanders gradually closed the gap. By lap 14, Sanders was within striking distance and began challenging for the lead. A trio of cautions around the halfway mark repeatedly interrupted the battle, with Sanders unable to complete a pass before each yellow flag flew. The Brookings driver finally broke through on lap 25, edging ahead by .067 seconds at the stripe. Killingsworth attempted to counterattack but made contact with the frontstretch wall, allowing 2017 Cottage Grove Speedway champion and River City Speedway winner Grey Ferrando to move into second.
