BRITT, Iowa (July 18, 2025) — Friday’s racing action at Hancock County Speedway brought the Hobby Stock Clash of the Titans to the Britt coliseum. Cory Probst made the most of his first trip to the track this season. Drawing the third starting spot in the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock main, he battled early with Josh Sidles before taking control and leading the rest of the way to victory. Sidles held off a hard-charging Josh Monson to finish second.  Probst now has 21 wins in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region in 2025.

The top six from each Hobby Stock main qualified for the night-ending Clash of the Titans, a 12-lap dash that paid $500 to win. Josh Monson wasted no time grabbing the lead and drove off to win the Clash for the second straight year. Jeremy Wegner was runner-up, while Oliver Monson completed the top three.

Shryock Scores Another Britt Stock Car Win

The Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars kept fans on the edge of their seats. After a mid-race restart, Parker Slagle capitalized to grab the lead. But in the final laps, Kelly Shryock closed the gap and made the winning move, claiming his third Stock Car victory of the season at Britt and 12th overall in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region. Slagle settled for second, with Loren Pesicka Jr. crossing in third.

Fett Flies from Eighth to Take SportMod Feature

Summer Grady led early in the Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMod main, but a pair of cautions bunched up the field. That opened the door for Alec Fett, who powered through the pack from eighth starting position and made the winning pass after a couple of restarts. Fett held off a fast Charlie Stevens at the checkers. Nate Albrant charged to third late in the race. The win was Fett’s overall fourth of the 2025 campaign.

Elliott Ends Drought with Britt Modified Domination

Greg Elliott was in a league of his own in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature. He took the lead early and never looked back, breaking a long dry spell in Speedway Motors IMCA competition. Jason Bass ran a strong second, while Izac Mallicoat rounded out the top three. The victory marked Elliott’s first win of the current campaign in the Razor Chassis North Central Region.

Hancock County Speedway hosts IMCA Speed Shift TV Dirt Knights Tour

BRITT, Iowa – One streak is guaranteed to continue when the Speed Shift TV Dirt Knights Tour for IMCA Modifieds travels to Hancock County Speedway on July 28. Ethan Braaksma hopes to continue a streak of his own next Tuesday at Britt as well. Hancock County Speedway is the only track to have hosted a Dirt Knights event every year since the tour started in 2010, with eight different drivers winning features over the course of the first 10 visits. Braaksma, from Newton, won the first two Dirt Knights features of the season July 20 at South Dakota’s Park Jefferson Speedway and July 22 at Buena Vista Raceway. Should he take the upcoming checkers and top check of $1,000, he’d match the tour consecutive wins record of three in a row established by Ricky Thornton Jr. of Adel in 2018 and equaled by Richie Gustin of Gilman last year. Also on the Tuesday card are IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks running for $1,000 to win their Joel Showalter Memorial, plus IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Karl Kustoms [Read More]

Flippo dominates at Britt, Smith gets 99th win

By Chad Meyer BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 2, 2024) – Three different drivers were in the second position at different times of Friday’s Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Hancock County Speedway. Jerry Flippo, however, proved to be the one who could move up a spot. Flippo, who has suffered through a summer of bad luck, finished the race more than a half track ahead of eventual runner-up Cody Knecht. Knecht charged from sixth to finish ahead of Clint Hatlestad and Jeremy Mills.  In the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Troy Swearingen made the last lap count as he made a huge move to the bottom of turns one and two to sweep up in front of long-time leader Parker Slagle. It was Swearingen’s second win at the Britt track. Kevin Opheim finished third ahead of Heath Tulp.  Dustin West was fast in the Friese Performance IMCA Northern SportMods, leading the most laps, but several yellows and a late-race red flag proved his undoing as Alec Fett sailed around the outside of turn four in the waning [Read More]

Marriott shines at Hancock County’s Night of 1,000 Stars

BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 9) – Hunter Marriott starred on a different night Thursday at Hancock County Speedway. Marriott battled Cayden Carter and Kyle Strickler before taking charge late in Thursday’s 24th annual Night of 1,000 Stars main event at Britt, earning $3,500 for the 50-lap IMCA Modified victory. “I was patient and when I had opportunities I took advantage of them,” Marriott said following his latest Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot-qualifying win. “I got to second right away after the break and passed for the lead with about eight laps to go.” Last year’s event runner-up as well as the two-time defending Night of 10,000 Stars winner, Marriott had worked his way toward the front from the 12th starting spot as early leader Strickler gave way to Carter following a restart. Carter was dominant to the mandatory pit stop on lap 25, pocketing $1,000 for leading at halfway. Marriott was up to third at that point and soon in pursuit of Strickler after the race went back to green. The last 25 laps ran caution-free [Read More]
