By David Smith Jr. ARDMORE, Okla. (June 23) – Michael Day took the lead at the start and never looked back in topping the Sprint Series of Oklahoma feature Friday night at South Oklahoma Speedway.

By Ben Deatherage WHITE CITY, Ore. (June 24) – Danny Lauer scorched the Wild West Modified Shootout field on a scorching Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Lauer’s $1,000 IMCA Modified win came on a day when the mercury hit 100 and then some. The new Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifier won his career-first Shootout feature after a disappointing 17th place outing in the opener the night before at Yreka. Ethan Dotson took control right off the bat at White City but was overtaken on the fifth circuit by fellow Californian Lauer. Lauer built comfortable leads that were erased by cautions. Despite the restarts, Lauer held on the rest of the distance to become the 16th different main event winner in the history of the Wild West Modified Shootout. John Campos found some redemption for his post-race disqualification from the opening night feature and finished second, followed by Collen Winebarger, Mark Wauge and Friday winner Nick Trenchard. Trenchard made his way into the Saturday show by winning the “B” feature Feature results – 1. Danny Lauer; 2. [Read More]
By Ben Deatherage YREKA, Calif. (June 23) – Siskiyou Motor Speedway hosted opening night of the Wild West Modified Shootout for the first time and Nick Trenchard was on top of his game from start to finish of the Friday night feature. Trenchard was the $1,000 IMCA Modified feature winner in a lidlifter contested by 33 entries from California, Oregon, Nevada and Colorado. He grabbed the initial lead after the first two attempts to start the race resulted in cautions. The Klamath Falls, Ore., chauffeur stayed sharp and stayed in front of his challengers following every restart. Kellen Chadwick mounted a late race-charge toward the front. Chadwick got close to the leader in traffic only for another yellow to come out. On the ensuing restart Chadwick went off the top of the backstretch and flipped. He was not injured but the incident would take too much time to clean up against a strict curfew and resulted in the race being called. Trenchard got the win in the Rich and Nikki Beihn-owned ride. It marked the second occasion, and [Read More]
By Jerry Mackey WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (June 23) – Colt Mather was the $1,000 winner when a strong field of 23 Performance Concepts IMCA Modifieds took to the track Friday at West Liberty Raceway. Defending track champion Chris Zogg took off from the pole to a comfortable lead. As the laps wound down, the sixth starting Mather was able to reel in Zogg. A late-race caution set up a three-lap dash to the finish and Mather overtook Zogg as the leaders completed lap 18. “The race track was perfect tonight, slick and smooth and racy top to bottom,” the new Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifier said. “It is really great to win tonight in front of the huge crowd.” Zogg was second while 10th starting Kurt Kile ran third ahead of 12th starting Larry Herring. The next event at West Liberty Raceway will be Saturday, July 1. A full program of IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing will be held along with the annual West Liberty Raceway Drivers Reunion.

By Mike McGuire DAVENPORT, Iowa (June 23) – Mid-Season Championships were on tap Friday night at Davenport Speedway. It was a beautiful night for racing and a great night for a low draw as all classes used a draw/re-draw format. Jeremiah Hurst won his heat race and drew the number one chip for the Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model feature. Hurst then used his front row start to lead all 25 laps for his first win at Davenport this year. Matt Ryan, who also started in the front row, closed in on Hurst in traffic but was unable to make a bid for the lead. Following Hurst and Ryan to the checkers was Rob Toland, who started in the fifth row. Andy Nezworski finished fourth and Chuck Hanna fifth in a race that went caution-free. Brad Montgomery made it two straight wins in the Eriksen Chevrolet IMCA Modified division. Just like last week, Montgomery led all 20 laps for the win. Tony VonDresky moved up a couple of spots to finish second, while [Read More]

DES MOINES, Iowa (June 14) – Another win, another milestone. And Shannon Anderson will tell you this one was the most difficult to achieve. Anderson won for the 300th time in his IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock career Wednesday at Southern Iowa Speedway. That’s the most for any driver in division history and the fourth-highest single division total in IMCA’s modern era. “To win Super Nationals or national championships or 100, 200 or 300 features are all really hard. They’re all big accomplishments,” said Anderson. “Three hundred feature wins has been the hardest. I would never have guess I’d get that many. I can still remember when I just wanted to win once.” While perfect this season at the Mahaska County Monster, Anderson was happy to put the milestone win in the rearview mirror. “I was relieved to get it,” he said. “Mike Kincaid was really fast. He’s always really good there and it wasn’t easy for me to get underneath and get the lead.” The six-time national and three-time IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by [Read More]
