Czarneski Snaps Berry’s Streak with Win at Jamestown; Berry Claims Third Dakota Tour Crown

By Ben Deatherage JAMESTOWN, N.D. (July 10, 2026) — Cole Czarneski denied Tom Berry Jr. a perfect Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric, leading all 30 laps Friday night at Jamestown Speedway to earn his first career Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified tour victory. While Berry settled for second after winning the previous four rounds, the Marshalltown, Iowa, driver wrapped up his third career Dakota Tour championship after another dominant week. The 2024 Wisconsin State champion from Denmark, Wisconsin, jumped to the lead at the drop of the green and immediately established himself as the driver to beat. A caution on lap six erased his early advantage, but Czarneski quickly rebuilt his lead after the restart. Berry, the two-time Dakota Tour champion and 2020 IMCA Modified national champion, climbed into second on lap eight and spent the remainder of the race trying to reel in the leader. Although Berry stayed within striking distance, Czarneski remained composed, slicing through lapped traffic before another caution on lap 21 erased his comfortable margin. Berry stayed close over the [Read More]

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. The pair traded the top spot several times before a restart with five laps remaining gave Snellenberger an opportunity to slip underneath White and briefly seize the lead. White answered immediately, rallying back to reclaim the top spot and holding off one final charge to earn the victory. The win was White’s third of the 2026 season in the EQ Cylinder Heads [Read More]

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. Their duel created an opening for Carter, who carried momentum around the top of turn two and [Read More]

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]

Berry Extends Dakota Tour Streak with Dacotah Speedway Triumph

By Ben Deatherage MANDAN, N.D. (July 8, 2026) — Tom Berry Jr. continued his Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric dominance Wednesday night, charging to his third consecutive victory in the opening of a two-night stand at Dacotah Speedway after the scheduled stop at Southwest Speedway was relocated because of rain and saturated grounds. Nine-time reigning Williston Basin Speedway champion Travis Hagen paced the opening laps of the 30-lap Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature and quickly opened a comfortable advantage before a caution on lap six erased his lead. Berry, who started seventh, wasted little time capitalizing on the restart. The two-time Dakota Tour champion powered the Mike Wedelstadt-owned No. 11X to the lead on lap seven and immediately began pulling away from the field. Hagen settled into second while Cole Czarneski and 2012 Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s and 2014 tour champion Jeff Taylor battled intensely for third. The 2024 Wisconsin State titlist, Czarneski, finally secured the position on lap 12. Heavy lapped traffic came into play on lap 20 [Read More]

Jones Makes Last-Lap Pass for Hobby Stock Victory Brad Jones saved his best move for the final lap in the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature.

Rain Washes Out Williston Features; Wednesday’s Round Four Moved to Mandan

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. Tuesday’s program at Williston Basin Speedway completed all heat races and B Mains before heavy rain arrived just prior to the start of the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature, preventing the remainder of the evening’s racing program from being completed. Continued rainfall and saturated grounds have forced the fourth round of the Dakota Classic Modified Tour, originally scheduled for Southwest Speedway in Dickinson, to be moved to Dacotah Speedway in Mandan on Wednesday, July 8. Dacotah Speedway will also host the previously scheduled fifth round of the tour on Thursday, July 9, giving fans two consecutive nights of Dakota Classic Tour action at the 3/8-mile Mandan oval.
