BOONE, Iowa (Aug. 20, 2026) — Getting to the front will pay in more ways than one during the Race of Champions events at the 2026 Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.

Lap sponsorships will be up for grabs across the five Race of Champions events during America’s Racin’ Vacation at Boone Speedway, with the driver leading each lap earning the bonus posted for that circuit.

The 12-lap Rage Chassis Modified Race of Champions will feature $100 on every lap, putting $1,200 in lap-leader bonuses on the line. Weather or Naught Food Services sponsors five of those circuits, with additional lap support coming from MyRacePass, Harris Auto Racing, Toby K’s Hideaway, and Moffitt’s Ford.

Another $900 will be available during the 12-lap Sunoco Stock Car Race of Champions, with each lap worth $75 to its leader. Weather or Naught Food Services again sponsors five laps, joined by MyRacePass, Harris Auto Racing, Toby K’s Hideaway, Baymont Inn, Push Master, and Total Seal.

The Dirt Defender/Pulse Racing Innovations SportMod Race of Champions and Stephenville Starter Hobby Stock Race of Champions will each feature $600 in lap money. All 12 laps in both events are worth $50 to the driver leading at the stripe.

Saints Ave Cafe, Ames Ford Lincoln, MyRacePass, Toby K’s Hideaway, Moffitt’s Ford, and Total Seal provide the SportMod lap sponsorships. The Hobby Stock bonuses are supported by the Boone County Chamber, MyRacePass, Baymont Inn, Push Master, and Total Seal.

Stealth Racing will provide $600 in certificates for its 12-lap IMCA Mod Lite Race of Champions, with a $50 certificate attached to each lap.

The Race of Champions events bring together qualifying drivers with championship credentials from across IMCA competition. Eligible drivers must still race their way into the main event through qualifying heat races, setting the field for each 12-lap Race of Champions.

The Race of Champions schedule begins Sunday with the Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lite event, followed by the SportMod and Hobby Stock races Tuesday and the Modified and Stock Car events Saturday. The NAPA Fan Zone will host the Casey’s redraw for each Race of Champions on the same day as its respective event.

Ryerson races to first win of season at Boone

By Joyce Eisele BOONE, Iowa (July 4) – It was a happy Chad Ryerson in his post race interview after winning the 18-lap Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod contest Saturday at Boone Speedway. Ryerson started sixth and took over the top spot at lap nine but had a lot of close company com­ing at him hot and heavy in the likes of Doug Smith and Johnathon Logue.  Smith and Logue tus­sled back and forth for the second position and Ryerson was content to let them do so as he raced to the win, his first at Boone this season.  Logue finished a close second with Smith in third. Twelfth place starter Adam Birck finished fourth and Robert Moore was fifth. Another first time winner came out of the IMCA Modifieds as Randy Havlik took the checkers in just his second night in the car. Havlik overtook Joel Bushore to put win number one in the books. Bushore held the runner-up position while Jake McBirnie took third. The race went cau­tion-free. The final race of the night was the 20-lap [Read More]

It’s Logue by a nose, David Smith also wins first of season at Boone

By Joyce Eisele BOONE, Iowa (July 15, 2023) – Boone Speedway held its weekly racing series on Saturday night, even after the area had nearly even inches of rain earlier in the week and the track was covered with water.  The drainage system and the great prep crew had the track in perfect racing condition that saw multi-lane racing from the 158 cars checked into the pits. There was only one repeat winner, that being Matt Avila in the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods. First-time wins this regular season went to Johnathon Logue, in a near photo finish in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds, David Smith in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Eric Knutson in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Cory Sonner in the Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites. Mod Lites kicked off feature racing. David Bailey had a big lead in the early going but Josh May reeled him in and, with just three laps remaining, was on his tail. That’s when disaster struck for the two drivers as a close racing [Read More]
