Jordan Tocci: Three Generations of Racers from Three Forks

By Ben Deatherage THREE FORKS, Mont. (Aug. 13, 2026) — Three rivers wind through the broad valleys of southwest Montana, cutting across a landscape framed by mountains and seemingly endless stretches of open country. Here, the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin converge to form the Missouri River. The same country has been home to Indigenous peoples for generations, witnessed the passage of Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea, and provided the setting for the legendary escape of fur trapper John Colter. More than two centuries later, the country surrounding Three Forks still carries much of the rugged character of the American West. For Jordan Tocci, it is simply home. “The area is so historic with the whole Lewis and Clark history and everything where the rivers come together to make the Missouri,” Tocci said. “It’s cool historically, and you dive deeper in the history of the tribes that lived here and Sacagawea. It’s a really cool part of the world.” It’s also where another history has been unfolding for three generations. Tocci’s grandfather Ray returned from service with [Read More]

Kelly Shryock: Century Club Member Times Two After a Lifetime Behind the Wheel

By Ben Deatherage FERTILE, Iowa (Aug. 14, 2026) — Long before the trophies, championships and hundreds of nights spent beneath the lights of dirt tracks across America, Kelly Shryock was a 12-year-old kid waiting for his father to come home. During the summer, Bob Shryock worked construction four 10-hour days each week, leaving precious little time to prepare his race car before Friday night. So Kelly learned to set valves. He worked alongside the crew. Whatever needed to be done, they tried to have the car ready when Bob walked through the door. Racing became more than something father and son did together. It became the only life Kelly ever really knew. More than four decades later, that kid has become one of the most accomplished drivers and builders in dirt track racing, and on Aug. 10 at Clay County Fair Speedway, Shryock added another milestone when he earned the 100th Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory of his career. It didn’t come easily. Austin Brands controlled much of the 25-lap feature while Shryock patiently worked behind [Read More]

Mills Moves One Win From Century Mark With Schattschneider Memorial Victory at Algona

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 13, 2026) — Jeremy Mills and Troy Swearingen each earned $2,000 feature victories at the Gene Schattschneider Memorial Race held Thursday night at Kossuth County Speedway. Mills won the 25-lap Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature and moved one victory away from his 100th career win at Kossuth County Speedway. The Clear Lake driver jumped out front at the start of the 17-car feature before the first yellow flag appeared on lap four when Todd Stinehart spun. Mills remained in command following the restart and built a comfortable advantage. At the halfway point, Mills led Kyle Brown, Izac Mallicoat, Colby Fett and Chaz Baca. A second and final caution came on lap 13 when Nick Meyer suffered a flat tire, but that did little to slow Mills’ trip to victory lane and the $2,000 payday. It was Mills’ 10th victory of the season, with nine coming in the Razor Chassis North Central Region and five at Kossuth County Speedway. The triumph was also career win No. 99 at the Algona oval.

Demo Sweeps Opening Two Nights of Beast of the East Showdown, Raffurty Closes Out Weekend

By Brad Harris CENTRAL SQUARE, N.Y. (Aug. 16, 2026) — After a year away from Mod Lite competition, Kyle Demo made his return known in a big way, sweeping the first two nights of the third annual OneGroup Beast of the East Showdown for Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lites before Dillon Raffurty closed the three-race weekend with a victory Sunday at Weedsport Speedway. The three-night swing brought IMCA Mod Lites to Brewerton Speedway, Fulton Speedway, and Weedsport, with each feature paying $1,000 to win. Thirty-nine entries were on hand for each of the first two nights before the field grew to 42 for Sunday’s finale. Demo’s return to the division produced immediate results Friday at Brewerton. Starting third in the 20-lap feature, Demo worked his way to the front and took command on his way to the $1,000 victory. Hunter Lawton advanced from sixth to finish second, while Anthony Scott put together an impressive charge from 17th to third. Zack Babcock, who had won his heat race over Demo earlier in the program, finished fourth, with [Read More]
