Domagala stampedes to IMCA Modified checkers at 45th annual Jamestown special

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (Oct. 15) – Tracy Domagala won’t just return to Jamestown Speedway next fall to defend his Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified Stampede title. He’ll come back to buy a souvenir sweatshirt … the one with his name listed among the winners of the prestigious event. Domagala earned $2,000 along with a spot on the ballot for the 2017 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. “This has to be one of the biggest events in the three-state area,” Domagala said. “The trophy and the money are great but having your name on the sweatshirt for the rest of your life is really special.” Fifty-two IMCA Modified drivers vied at the 45th annual Stampede. Domagala, whose best finish in three starts this season at Jamestown was 11th, started ninth in the main event. “We knew we had a pretty tough row to hoe but we’ve been figuring some stuff out with this new Taylor Chassis,” he said. “I thought if I stuck on the bottom that maybe it would come in. Around lap 15 I got next to [Read More]

James is 2-for-2 at Tri-State following Spooker feature win

POCOLA, Okla. (Oct. 15) – Jeff James’ second competitive trip to Tri-State Speedway resulted in a second big payday. James, winner of the Spring Kegger special at Pocola, led all 30 laps of Saturday’s $3,000 to win Spooker main event for Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds. “Isn’t that crazy? I won the spring one and the fall one. That’s $5,000 in two races,” said James. “It’s a long ways (a little over 450 miles from his home in Stanton, Iowa) but it’s a nice payday.” As a bonus, the win put James on the ballot for the 2017 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Jeff Taylor, Steve Holzkamper, Todd Van Eaton and William Gould rounded out the top five. James had won his qualifying feature on Friday night and started outside pole. Taylor, Holzkamper and Gould all challenged from the inside after early restarts but could not get past. He’d won the Kegger and the Friday qualifier running the lower line, but James followed the high side to the checkers in the main event. “I didn’t know [Read More]

Green earns redemption and $2,000 at Southern Challenge

By J.M. Hallas ABILENE, Texas (Oct. 15) – A long green flag run at Abilene Speedway’s Ryan Bard Memorial Southern Challenge ended with Kevin Green in victory lane. Green caught Monte Bolton late in the 25-lap main event for Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds and gained a bit of redemption along with his career-best payday in the division. “We’d been running second before hitting an infield tire at 85 Speedway’s Bryan Mize Memorial. We were fast at Ennis but ended up not finishing,” Green said, “so this was kind of redemption for me.” The $2,000 win put Green on the ballot for next year’s Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. He’d raced a Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center Southern SportMod at Abilene previously and drew the outside pole start for the weekend’s Modified main event. The one caution of the race came out before the first lap was scored as a five-car pileup brought out a quick red flag; Bolton took the lead on lap two but Green stayed close throughout. With five to go Green turned up the [Read More]

Bakersfield Budweiser Nationals IMCA Modified wins go to Dotson, Childress

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (Oct. 7-8) – Ethan Dotson and Ricky Childress Jr. took different routes to $1,500 Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified wins at Bakersfield Speedway’s Budweiser Nationals. Dotson started on the pole in Friday’s 40-lapper and led every lap, pulling away from Bobby Hogge IV and Robby Sawyer in the late going for the victory. Childress had to work his way up from 10th starting on Saturday. He was running third, just a couple car lengths off the pace when frontrunners Mike Johnson and Brad Pounds tangled late in the race. Their respective wins put both drivers on the ballot for next year’s Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Dotson and Hogge both moved from the lower line to the top side after seeing Sawyer use that line to advance in the opening night show. “There were a couple cautions that took out the lapped traffic so that worked in my favor,” Dotson said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better night to get my first win of the year here.” Pounds and Logan Drake completed the top [Read More]
