JEFFERSON, S.D. (June 1) – A former track champion in the Stock Car division was the Art­works Graphics IMCA Modifieds feature winner Saturday at Park Jefferson Speedway.  Chris Mills was able to benefit from a front row starting spot and jump to an early lead, ultimately winning by a margin of four seconds. Mills was chased by R.J. Merchant, who has found a lot of speed over the past few weeks, while Jay Noteboom was third. In the Stevenson Hardware IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars, Dusty Ballenger came flying from eighth with point leader Brant O’Banion in tow as the drivers from the fourth row were able to slide around the smooth racing surface to race into the lead. Ballenger has shown an affinity for the Park surface since the Sprint Cars became weekly and picked up his second win of the year.  The J&J Fitting IMCA Stock Cars saw Greg Taylor hold off Elijah Zevenbergen by just one tenth of a second to pick up his second feature win of the year.

The win paid $1,500 and put Braaksma on the ballot for the upcoming Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. “I knew I had to keep my momentum up. I was a little hesitant about going to the top,” he said. “There was a lot of moisture on the bottom. I knew if I could just hit it right I could hold the bottom better. I knew where to enter and where to come off.” Braaksma was the fourth different leader in the tour lidlifter. Troy Cordes led the first circuit before Ricky Stephan sped by.  The only caution of the contest came on [Read More]
