Berry Blazes Field in Marshalltown Modified Main Event

By Kaden Krebs MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Jun. 27, 2025) — The nightcap proved to be a scorcher as the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds roared onto the track. Dustin Kroening sat on the pole, with Jake McBirnie to his outside. But it was Marshalltown native Tom Berry Jr. who made quick work of the field, grabbing the lead early and leaving the rest behind. Berry cruised to a dominant win in the 20-lap finale, while Kollin Hibdon and McBirnie completed the podium. The win was Berry’s third of the season, coming at three different tracks, with two scored in the Razor Chassis North Central Region.

Money Masters Modified Main at Thomas County

By Sheldon Wickwar COLBY, Kan. (Jun. 28, 2025) — The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds headlined the Saturday night program at Thomas County Speedway, with Danny Keller and John Burrow setting the pace on the front row. Burrow jumped to the early lead but quickly came under fire from Dylan Sherfick and Kyle Rohleder, two of the fastest Modified shoes in the state. The trio battled tightly for the top spot until a caution flew on lap four for a spin by Eddie Belec. Rohleder led the field back to green, but Clay Money had other plans. Charging up from deeper in the pack, Money powered to the lead by lap seven and began pulling away as Sherfick and Rohleder fought behind him. Once clear, Money stretched his advantage and never looked back, scoring his third Jet Racing Central Region win of 2025 and second at Colby. Sherfick finished second, followed by Rohleder in third.
