Alec Fett Charges from 12th to Win Scott Cook One-Eye Memorial at Kossuth County

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (June 11, 2026) — Alec Fett put together an impressive drive in the Scott Cook One-Eye Memorial SportMod Nationals, charging from 12th starting position to collect the $1,000 payday and his first victory of the season in the Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod division at Kossuth County Speedway. Josh Appel led the opening lap before Cole Suckow took over on lap two and appeared poised to challenge for the win. Fett steadily worked his way forward through multiple restarts and moved into contention by the midway point of the 20-lap feature. A caution on lap nine for Jake Simpson’s flat tire slowed the action, and another yellow followed after contact between Jacob Korte and Mat Hollerich ended both drivers’ evenings. Suckow remained in command until lap 12, when Fett powered around him on the high side of the backstretch to take over the lead. A final caution for Bailey Stimson’s mechanical issues on lap 14 tightened the field one last time, but Fett was flawless on the restart and drove away for [Read More]

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 6, 2026) — A wild night of racing at Arlington Raceway produced plenty of thrills, spills and dramatic finishes, highlighted by Dan Mackenthun’s second straight Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory at the Sibley County fairgrounds oval. The feature saw its share of carnage early. Ryan Grochow and Garett Uecker led the field during the opening laps before contact exiting turn four sent Uecker sideways, collecting Matt Schauer and Matt Speckman in a crash that eliminated all three drivers. On the restart, Grochow again showed the way, but Mackenthun quickly charged from his 12th starting position and worked his way to the front. The Hamburg driver and Trent Loverude traded positions repeatedly while slicing through lapped traffic. Loverude nosed ahead as the white flag waved, but Mackenthun answered immediately entering turn one and regained the advantage for good. He held off Loverude for his fifth EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region victory of the season, second at Arlington and second straight at the track. Loverude finished second, while Daniel Eckblad turned in [Read More]
