White Outduels Snellenberger in Thrilling Eagle River Stock Car Finish

By Joe Verdegan EAGLE RIVER, Wis. (July 7, 2026) — Dustin White withstood a flurry of cautions and a furious late-race challenge from former track champion Rod Snellenberger to score a thrilling Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory Tuesday night at Eagle River Speedway. The hometown driver started third and patiently tracked early leader Mitch Stankowski through a series of early cautions before making his move on lap six to take command. Snellenberger, the all-time winningest IMCA Stock Car driver in Wisconsin history, started fifth and carved his way into second by lap eight. He closed the gap on White by lap 13, setting up an intense battle for the lead over the closing laps.

Carter’s Spectacular Double Pass Highlights Dakota Tour Night at Mandan

By Ben Deatherage MANDAN, N.D. (July 9, 2026) — Jonny Carter pulled off the move of the week Thursday night at Dacotah Speedway, sweeping around both leaders with three laps remaining to score an electrifying victory in round five of the Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric. Chris Tuchscherer, the 2005 Williston Basin Speedway champion, grabbed the early lead in the 25-lap Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature, while 2024 Sheyenne Speedway track champion Jonny Carter kept him within striking distance. The Lisbon driver shadowed Tuchscherer for much of the race before beginning to mount serious challenges around lap 16. Although Tuchscherer held him off, the battle allowed 2025 IMCA TV Winter Nationals champion Shelby Williams, winner of Monday’s victory at Estevan Motor Speedway, to close the gap. Williams slipped past Carter for second on lap 19 and quickly chased down Tuchscherer. The pair raced side-by-side for the lead over the closing laps, each protecting their preferred groove.

Harris Makes Last-Lap Pass for Langley Speedway Victory

By Jim Haines HAMPTON, Va. (July 4, 2026) — Jerald Harris saved his best move for the final lap Saturday night at Langley Speedway, making an outside pass on Chase Burrow in turn one to capture the Virginia Sprint Series feature on Independence Day. Despite sweltering temperatures and fighter jets flying overhead throughout the day, Harris stayed cool when it mattered most. Chris Humblet and Aaron Leach won the heat races, but Leach’s night ended before the feature began when a broken driveline left him unable to answer the call for the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car main event. That moved Daren Bolac and Burrow to the front row for the start. Burrow grabbed the lead when the green flag waved, with Bolac and Harris giving chase. A quick caution for a stalled car slowed the field early before Harris moved into second. Bolac ran third, followed by Humblet and Bill Mullis. On lap eight, Bolac suffered mechanical trouble. Humblet had nowhere to go and made contact, ending the night for both drivers. Burrow and Harris pulled [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage WILLISTON, N.D. (July 7, 2026) — Rain disrupted the third round of the 2026 Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric on Tuesday night at Williston Basin Speedway and has forced a schedule change for the remainder of the week.
