JEFFERSON, S.D. (Feb. 21, 2024) – Park Jefferson Speedway will crown its first-ever IMCA Sunoco Late Model track champion this season. Sanctioned Late Models join five other IMCA divisions at PJ and run on six select nights in 2024. The class will also crown its first state champion in South Dakota. “We wanted to add a division that was maybe a little different than anything that was running around here,” explained promoter Wayne Becker. “I have a soft spot in my heart for the Late Models. They ran here back in the day and were very entertaining.” “We’re trying to bring a little bit of the 1990s back, and all the feedback we’ve received so far has been positive.” IMCA Late Models made their last and what was believed only previous appearance at Park Jefferson as part of the Summer Series in June of 2007.

By Ben Deatherage  JEFFERSON, S.D. (May 2, 2025) — A thrilling Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature—rescheduled from April 18—unfolded Friday night at Park Jefferson Speedway, with Minnesota’s Dan Mackenthun emerging victorious in the 18-lap contest. Aaron Cain led early and built a strong advantage as Greg Peck and Devin Tripp waged war for second. A caution on lap 3 reset the field, and Tripp used the restart to charge the high side, pulling alongside Cain on the backstretch before taking the lead. A caution waved and Mackenthun momentarily took the lead on the next green, only for another yellow to erase the pass. On the ensuing restart, Tripp pushed too high, lost positions, but was rescued by yet another caution. Mackenthun kept the pressure on, and when Tripp bobbled in turn four on lap 8, the Hamburg, Minnesota veteran capitalized and never looked back. The 10-time reigning Minnesota State and 13-time Arlington Raceway track champion dominated the second half of the race to notch his first EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of 2025.
